Chapter 419: Transformation
Regardless of how Zhang Dekun, the mausoleum who escaped death, returned to the mansion to seek comfort and suppress shock.
After a slight delay, he received further news from Ouchi, saying that the one from the Generalissimo's Mansion had suddenly had a seizure without warning, and killed a nearby chamberlain on the spot.
Later, he summoned the staff department and the person in charge of the secret camp, and although he did not know what had happened during this period, he knew that he could not live in peace just by looking at the dark colors on their faces when they came out.
"What...... Bite...... Why are you going to be frozen into a dog......"
On the bank of the Huai River, little Contrinoa, known as Feikong, also waded through the freezing rain and mud, and complained in a deep nasal voice.
Facing a gust of wind, he only felt that the fat on his whole body was about to condense from the inside out, so he could only continue to comfort himself and others and said loudly
"Keep it up, it's almost ......"
"Allow you to take a few sips of wine......"
He loudly encouraged and spurred these slaves and maids who cowered in the cold, and at the same time looked at the goods and cattle that were deep in the mud with some heartache.
To tell the truth, he has regretted it again, he was greedy for convenience, and used a large number of Tianzhu soil slaves as labor for the army, but these brown-skinned slaves are not frosty at all, and they have not seen the cold of the north, and it is okay to use it in the south of the Yangtze River, and when they cross the Yangtze River, they began to suffer from frostbite and frostbite one after another, and began to die all kinds of people along the way.
Of course, as one of the unlucky ghosts who were unfortunately assigned to the task of losing the frontier army in the mouth of those wealthy merchants and nobles in the Southern Dynasties, in fact, everyone used cheap and trouble-saving feudal slaves to undertake these long and arduous tasks of transporting to the front, so as to minimize costs and consumption.
It's just obvious that the first time he took on the corresponding errand, due to his lack of experience and no one to mention the loss, it was really a bit bigger.
Most of the time, he lived in the hot and dry western country, or the warm and rainy southern dynasty, who had never seen the battle formation in the north, which was frozen to the bones, and couldn't help but be frozen and trembling
He was a little envious of Zheng Zhou, who stayed in the relatively warm Jiangdu area, under the banner of independent grain station, operated the rear with a round wrist, and was also a big trafficker business.
However, on the other hand, he was also under the cover of the external background, and the people sent to the Southern Dynasties over the years were selected as the ones who went deep into the Central Plains and the Southern Dynasties army, even if it was in the headquarters of Northern Tianzhu, it was also a unique achievement.
So he can only bite the bullet and persevere regardless of the cost, and unconsciously, half of his career and life have been poured into this, and he can't be allowed to retreat and dodge.
Such a group of craftsmen who had spent a lot of money had opened up a new world for him that had never been heard of before, just waiting for him to operate and harvest.
White Horse Temple Camp,
I didn't know that the guerrilla army, which almost had no intention of killing an important figure in the Northern Army, finally waited for the follow-up friendly army, a vanguard with a tired face and mud stains.
They did not have as many carriages and horses as our army, nor did they have enough corresponding preparations and measures, and most of them walked on two feet, so they were tossed even more severely on the bad roads caused by rain and snow.
Fortunately, our army has already prepared dozens of fires and hot soup in the temporary camp at the foot of Longshou Mountain, and then its face is pale and red, and it slowly eases up, and it seems that it is on the road, and it is not less cold and cold.
The leader of the team was the former military commander Wang Gui, and after drinking the delicious spicy soup, he thanked me sincerely, and then complained about the poor logistics organization on the Eastern Front.
Although the back road has been basically cleared and unblocked, but the bad weather in winter and the same bad road conditions have greatly affected the transportation efficiency of Xuzhou.
During this period, although the organization rushed to transport several warm items, the last thing in the hands of the army was not warm cotton cloth and wool, but a breathable and sweat-absorbing cage cloth worn in the south.
Therefore, for a while, they can only rely on these front-line military horses, like locusts, to collect and loot along the way, so as to temporarily support themselves. Then, in addition to fighting and basic duties, let the soldiers close their accounts and not go out to stay warm, so as to minimize the consumption of daily activities.
Where is it like my troops, there are self-managed logistics baggage, which can ensure the normal conduct after basic food and clothing, which is really enviable.
Then, he told me another piece of news, but it was this entry strategy, and he was instructed by the army before the army, and Xu Qing, the deputy commander of the East Road, would no longer participate.
I was shocked to ask why, but after the Sang Jie who had laid down the Wujiao Pass was sent out, he was originally injured in the battle of the previous month and could not take care of things, but Cao Cheng, who was in charge of the Eastern Front and was cultivating in the Liangtai camp in Lingchang, rushed over with illness and wounds, and took over the command of the various armies entering the pass in the name of Zhengren.
The deputy commander Xu Qing and his subordinates set foot on the white army, but they were left in the Wujiao Pass to rest and recuperate on the grounds that they were too bad, and were responsible for supervising all matters on the back road, which was excluded from the sequence of attacking Luodu......
Then I decided to give each of them a one-piece blanket made of felt from the surplus supplies under my command, and once again received a heartless thanks.
And he also reminded me again, this Wang Dutong is the background of the typical military order in Jinnai, and he is very respectful and humble, but he is not such a person to think about. is not as pure and uninhibited as Xu Qing, the deputy commander of the capital, who was born in Yanbian military merits.
Of course, although what he said was very vague, I felt something else, such as some kind of factional struggle in the Eastern Front Army, such as the estrangement and disagreement between the border army and the Chinese army.
My guerrilla army, on the other hand, can be regarded as having a background in the formation of an army in Kinai, but it has a lot to do with the Yanbian armies in the southeast to recruit the division, and it can be said that its position is relatively delicate.
Not long after sending Wang Gui away, more friendly troops drove out of the Bishui Valley, and then only stopped at the foot of Longshou Mountain, and hurried to the direction of Luodu.
Then, not long after, I received a report from my men that the advance camp of our army, which had been set up in front of the Upper East Gate of the eastern city of Luodu, and was intended to be used as an observation and guard post, had been taken over by those friendly troops.
Immediately afterwards, the incumbent king of the East Road, Dutong, sent me a marching Sima, politely and politely declined, and joined forces with our army in the area of the White Horse Temple to build a joint defense.
Instead, it was decided to set up another camp in the Shangqing Palace, six miles away from the White Horse Temple and at the foot of the eastern foot of Beibi Mountain. In addition, the other party told me very "well-intentionedly" that the attack on Luodu was within the scope of the Eastern Front Metropolitan Command, and I should do my best.
As a coordinated northern attacking army, it is better to focus on their original duties and manage the rear of the army, and for this reason, they have kindly demarcated defense areas for us, mainly along several rivers including Yishui and Surabaya, but it is far from the city of Luodu.
This result, of course, among my subordinates, once again provoked a lot of scolding.
Because, after this series of measures, not only negated the previous efforts and efforts, but also hinted in the open that we should draw a clear line with my troops.
and the obvious carriage and horses, it is because I am afraid that my troops will rob and divide them, and the credit and opportunity of attacking Luodu are general, how can this not help but make people have the kindness and enthusiasm that they originally hoped for, and suddenly turned into a cold water of indignation.
There are also more angry ones, Jian yƬ simply turned around and went back to Qingzhou to eat and go to spend the winter, why bother here with a hot face and a cold ass.
