According to the military system of the Song Dynasty, the field army was divided into seven levels: squad, squadron, brigade, capital, battalion, army, and compartment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Three people are a small team, nine people are a squadron, five squadrons are a brigade, and the officers are the team leaders.

Above, the two squadrons were organized into one capital, one hundred men and horses.

All five are a battalion, and the battalion officer is the battalion commander. Five battalions and one army, with officers as army commanders.

The ten armies were organized into a box, with a total of 25,000 men, and the commander was the commander of the box.

The head of the capital is equivalent to a company commander of the army in later generations. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the finances of the newly born small imperial court collapsed, and the soldiers and horses from all walks of life had almost no military salaries to be paid. Because, the number of troops is not satisfied, coupled with the corruption of military discipline in the Huaixi Army, the officers eat more empty salaries and drink the blood of soldiers, and it is considered that there is a conscience if there are fifty or sixty main soldiers in a city. As for the vacancies, dozens of masters were recruited at will to make up for it.

Therefore, if it is replaced by other capitals, that is, the junior officers at the most basic level in the army, they will be confused, and any major military affairs and the situation between the two armies will be smeared with two eyes. Anyway, whatever it's called, just do it.

But this Yidu head has his own big backer in the army, and his eyes and ears are better than ordinary officers, so he doesn't know what this battle is like.

Today, I met this family of three, led by this man who is strong and fierce, and he is not a good person at first glance, which makes people suspicious when they see it. Now listening to him talk about the situation of the two armies, it is obvious that he is familiar with the situation in various parts of Huaibei. Especially when it came to Li Yu's main detour, it made him feel shocked.

This is a matter of life and death for the brothers, and we must not be careless. This is not the place to be questioned, let's take him back to the barracks first. If this is true, I will also make a contribution. After the reward from above, the battalion commander under the vacancy of our department is not mine.

Or don't kill the leprosy ghost and the stinky ghost woman, so as not to anger this man.

The surname Yi was all called, and several other Song soldiers also had miserable faces, and shouted in a mess: "Oops, noos, this is terrible." ”

Seeing that his subordinates were in a mess, Yi Du wiped a handful of cold sweat oozing from his forehead: "What are you afraid of, what are you afraid of, haven't people killed them yet?" Okay, take all the prisoners, and let's go back to the camp. ”

Wang Shen saw that everyone was terrified, he was disdainful in his heart, and sighed again, the book said that Liu Guangshi was a long-legged general. The four generals of Zhongxing Zhonghuai West Army have the worst military discipline and the worst combat effectiveness, and they can't imagine that they will be cowardly like this.

Yi Dutou didn't have the heart to kill An Yingxiang and An Niang, so he let out a long breath, and said busily: "General Yi will pay off the loosening, and it is good to carry my brother, he is very sick, I am afraid that he will not be able to walk." ”

The officer surnamed Yi snorted, picked up the horizontal knife on the ground and cut the rope on Wang Shen's body with a single click: "Carry someone on your back, follow me." Remind you, don't play tricks, or you'll kill your whole family. ”

Ying Xiang still looks like he hates Wang Shen to the bone, and he is not honest on his back, and he slaps him with his knee from time to time.

Wang Shen was helpless in his heart, and said with a wry smile in a low voice: "Little Brother An, we are all like this now, what's the point of you being angry with me?" We should be in the same boat to get through this difficult time. Rather than this, it is better to raise some strength. Besides, now you can't afford it, and you can't take two taels of cotton, if you want to beat me, save it! ”

Ying Xiang snorted weakly: "The thief is full of firewood, and he can hide it from those people for a while, and he can hide it for a lifetime?" When the time comes, Sister A and I will be killed by you. ”

"I'm telling the truth."

Ying Xiang snorted, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep again. An Niang stretched out her hand and gently supported Wang Shen.

Wang Shen: "I can hold on." ”

An Niang didn't speak, her hand tightened a little.

Wang Shen can only let him go, in modern society, he has never been in love for one reason or another. It's not because I don't want to, it's just that no one looked down on me when I made slings. When he had a car and a house, that simple and warm emotion no longer seemed to belong to him, and it didn't belong to the circle of the so-called successful people.

At this moment, he was supported by the little girl's white and slender fingers, he felt like he was walking in the clouds, but he had inexhaustible strength in his body, but the long road of more than twenty miles was walked down in one go, but the road was shorter.

If you can support each other with a girl like this, rely on it, and go on forever, that is the best.

In his heart, Wang Shen still retains a trace of sobriety. After knowing what this place was, he couldn't help but observe the terrain on both sides and the maps of later generations.

In modern times, it is located in the Huai River Basin.

Huai water flows from west to east into Hongze Lake on its side, nourishing this piece of water and soil. Because of the abundant precipitation and the convenience of shipping, this area is a famous land of fish and rice, and is the main grain producing area in the Jianghuai region.

Unfortunately, in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, after more than a year of drought, all the rivers had dried up, and the sky was only full of dust. The vast Hongze Lake has also retreated to the point where it is out of sight, leaving only large swaths of tidal flats that have dried up and cracked.

Such terrain was suitable for the operation of a large corps, and it also gave Li Yu's thief army the opportunity to flank the rear of Liu Guangshi's troops in a roundabout way.

Wang Shen only knew this as a prophetic traveler, but it was military common sense for Yidutou, a battle-hardened officer who had traveled from Shaanxi to Kaifeng, and then fled all the way to Huaixi.

For his words, I naturally believed it.

After a day of walking on the road, the group finally reached the ground.

Along the way, Wang Shen was not idle, and kept talking with the soldiers. First, I want to inquire about the news, and secondly, I want to get acquainted with them, and if Yi Dutou wants to be unfavorable to himself, I am also a little embarrassed.

Wang Shen is a successful person in quotation marks in modern society, what kind of wine table dinner has not been experienced, what kind of person has not been contacted, and he is not easy to deal with a few ancients? A few jokes, a few meat jokes came down, and only a few people leaned forward and backward with laughter, but they were not embarrassed.

Only then did I know that these people belonged to a battalion of Liu Guangshihuai's rear army. The so-called rear army is the rear guard of the army, which is responsible for transporting heavy grain and straw and guarding the safety of logistics channels on weekdays.

There are five baggage battalions to which they belong, with a total strength of 130, and there are more than 100 people, who are not satisfied. The Huaixi Army has been fighting non-stop since the first year of Jianyan, from Kaifeng to Yingtianfu, and then to Chuzhou, and the troops have suffered heavy losses. The five leaders of the baggage battalion were all killed and fled, and now only two are left, and even the battalion commander died in the battle of Liu Miao's mutiny at the beginning of this year.

The head of Yi Du, who captured Wang Shen, was called Yi Jie, ranking first among the two heads, and his soldiers and horses accounted for the vast majority, and he was the most popular with the army. Moreover, he is a distant nephew of Li Qiong, a general of the Huaixi Army, and it is very likely that he will fill the post of battalion commander. It's just that Liu Shuai is interested in Lu Can, the Marquis of Yu, but he can't let go of Li Qiong's feelings, so he put it aside, saying that in the future, whoever makes a contribution will make up for it.

Listening to his soldiers talk about his origin, Yi Jie not only did not stop it, but looked a little proud. But as soon as he heard Lu Can's name, he spat and snorted coldly: "Sour Ding, he is also worthy of being the battalion commander." Has he ever fought, has he seen blood on his hands, and his brothers will have to be killed by him when the time comes? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, we support you, whoever wants to be this commander has to ask us if we agree to the knife in our hands."

"What kind of thing is that surnamed Lu, how can it compare to you."

"Hehe, he doesn't pee on himself, and he doesn't look at what he is. Don't worry, with General Li here, where is Lu Can's turn to take the position? ”

"Dutou, no, no, no, the commander, you can't forget your brothers when you are proud in the future."

There was a commotion and shouting, and for a while, there was a flood of words.

Yi Jie was full of enjoyment and said with a smile: "Where can you forget everyone, what is the relationship between us, brothers who were born and died together, or that sentence." But in the future, if someone eats a bite of me, you will be indispensable. ”

Wang Shen couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, and secretly thought: It is nothing to call each other brothers and sisters among the sergeants and soldiers in the army, and sometimes comrades-in-arms and brotherly friendship can indeed make everyone hate the same enemy on the battlefield. Boost morale. However, if the relationship is vulgarized, or even a gang is formed to create a small hill, the army will deviate from morality because of this, and it will have no combat effectiveness.

This is because, in modern armies, the commander-in-chief of the first army never uses the so-called righteous spirit of the rivers and lakes to unite the troops, but shares the same national ideals and doctrines.

Similar to the modern army, the Yuejia army in this era was engaged in the nationalism of expelling the Tartars and returning our rivers and mountains, rather than the personal dependence of the feudal army. Facts have proved that even the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, who stood at the pinnacle of the Cold Weapon War, was beaten all over the ground against an army like the Shangyue Family Army, which had a hint of modern classical militarism.

"If I Wang Shen have a chance to lead an army alone in the future......"

Just thinking about it, he suddenly smiled: What do I want to do so much, to be a soldier and fight? I'm not interested. Once the success is done, the bones are dry, the swords and arrows on the battlefield have no eyes, and no one knows who will survive in the end. I think that when He Huzi and two kitchen knives made a revolution, he brought out tens of thousands of children from his hometown, and when the founding of the People's Republic of China was founded, there were only one or two hundred people left. After the Huaihai War, countless mothers asked Liu Shuai for a son, countless wives asked him for a husband, and countless children asked him for a father. Whenever he thinks of this, Dushuai bursts into tears. Throughout his life, he never watched war-themed movies. Because every time he watches the war on the screen, he thinks of his comrades-in-arms who are sleeping on the ground.

"I, Wang Shen, don't dare to say that I am the lucky one who survived to the end, and now I still find a way to get out of the current predicament and take Anniang's sister and brother all the way south, how far and as far as I go, it is best to go directly to the seaside in Guangdong. If you can't do it, you can go to Guangxi and Guizhou, there is the Song Dynasty, and it seems that only the south has not suffered any war. ”

After walking for a day, in the evening, I finally arrived at a place called Pingyuan Town, which was the station of a certain baggage battalion of the rear army of the Huaixi Army.

As the name suggests, Plains Town is located on an empty plain, with an official road running through the town. The town is surrounded by flat and fertile land, but because of the shortage of soldiers, and the great drought, the land is barren, and there is not a single person in the town, except for soldiers or soldiers.

This is a treasury of the Huaixi Army, located between Yangzhou Tianchang County and Sizhou, since the beginning of the war, there is an endless stream of grain and heavy baggage through here to transfer to Chuzhou in the northeast, that is, Huai'an in later generations.

Because of this, this place is very important.

Looking at the flat terrain, Wang Shen felt strange in his heart. It is said that this kind of place, which is similar to a military supply station, should be set up in a dangerous place, and there is no danger to defend this place, and if the enemy is attacked by light cavalry, how can it be defended. Once the logistics and transportation lines are cut off, how can this battle be fought?

Thinking about the map of Anhui that he had seen before, he suddenly realized, and couldn't help but pat his forehead: "I forgot, now is a big drought, if it is in the past, the terrain in this area is easy to defend and difficult to attack." ”

Originally, the west of Pingyuan Town was Duliang Mountain, and next to it was the rolling Hongze Lake, crisscrossed by water networks and rivers, which was not conducive to the movement of the army. But now the drought is severe, all the rivers have dried up, and the great lakes have retreated ten miles to the east, exposing the plains to the brim.

After entering the treasury, Yi Jie was about to ask Wang Shen.

Wang Shen sorted out his thoughts, and was about to retell the information he had read from the history books, thinking about how to win the trust of this guy and get out. At this time, someone outside shouted: "Marquis Lu Yu." ”

I saw a middle-aged man with a white face walk in.

The man was in his early forties, of average stature, and slightly emaciated. He was wearing a peculiar green jacket with patches on the collar and cuffs, but it was washed white and looked neat. If it weren't for the fact that he had a hand knife hanging on his waist and a thick knife cocoon on his right hand, he would really be a down-and-out scholar.

If he didn't guess wrong, he was Lu Can and Lu Ziyu of the baggage battalion, and he was a strong contender for the future battalion commander.

The so-called Yuhou is not a rare term for modern people, and there is not a Lu Qian and Lu Yuhou in "Water Margin", and he was later stabbed by Lin Chong and Lin Jiaotou. Marquis Yu is a military position, responsible for the security inspector, or internal supervision, to put it bluntly, a military discipline officer. The position of Marquis Yu can be big or small, the big one is the general Yu Hou who is responsible for the military discipline of the first army, and the small one is the Du Yu Marquis who is responsible for the whole city.

On the road just now, Yi Jie couldn't stop scolding Lu Can, and his words were very resentful. When I saw him at this moment, I jumped up with a bang, and hurriedly bowed my hands: "I've seen Lu Yuhou, why are you here, it's been hot recently, and you have hurt the summer heat again, don't hurt the wind." "A respectful look.

Lu Can didn't bother to look at Yi Jie, obviously quite disdainful of this subordinate: "What is this summer heat?" He looked at Wang Shen intently: "The fine work you just caught? ”

Yi Jie interjected and asked, "Marquis Yu, have you heard of it?" The birdman said that he was an outcast, and that there was information from the emergency army, and that his subordinates would bring them back, and that I would have to interrogate them immediately. If it is true, you must report it to your boss immediately. ”

Lu Can said "oh" and nodded at Wang Shen, looking unconcerned. sat on the main seat and frowned at Yi Jie: "Yi Dutou, what kind of bird is not a bird, you are also an officer of my Great Song Dynasty, how can you be full of foul language?" Also, the homeless, the homeless...... Hehe, look at this person's appearance, with red lips and white teeth, what does he look like a homeless person? What did he say, and you believed it? ”

was reprimanded by him, Yi Jie hurriedly smiled: "Marquis Yu, who do you say he is not an outcast?" ”

"A spy, or a dead one." Lu Can stood up suddenly, lifted Wang Shen's package, and the contents fell to the ground with a bang. There is an inkstone, two large rolls of paper, pen and ink, as well as a drawing board and carving knives for seal carving, ink and other objects, these are all tools used by Wang Shen for sketching.

Lu Can: "Yi Dutou, you see, this thing can be owned by homeless people?" ”

Yi Jie: "I'm me, I'm looking at him, I'm a homeless person!" ”

Lu Can: "A homeless person fled here, carrying no money, no dry food, household registration and a change of clothes, but only pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which is clearly a fine work, and these paper and pencil are used to transmit intelligence news." Yi Dutou, you said this is called Wang or something......"

Yi Jie hurriedly added: "Wang Shen." ”

"Well, Wang Shen." Lu Can had a cold face, without emotion, and said word by word: "This Wang Shen said that Li Yu's army has bypassed the Great Lake and diverted to the rear of our Huaixi Army, and wants to cut off our army's food route, you will believe whatever he says?" Just yesterday, I received a military report from the front that Uncle Liu Ping was fighting with Li Yu in Chuzhou, and both sides were seriously wounded. It's only been a few days since it's been such a long way, so it's hard for Li Yu to fly over with wings. It is clearly the death room sent by Li Yu, who wants to disturb the hearts of our Huaixi army with a cheap life. Someone came, pushed him out and beheaded him. ”

Hearing this, Wang Shen was so shocked that the cold flowed out. Seeing two wolf-like soldiers come in and cut off his arms, he was about to push him out, but he couldn't think about it.

At this time, An Niang on the side shouted timidly: "Marquis Yu, we are indeed good citizens!" He's ...... He was originally a scholar, and he made a living by writing letters to people along the road, telling fortunes and measuring words, and it was not surprising that the guy who ate had the four treasures of the study on his body. ”

Yi Jie also said: "Yes, yes, I think he is a scholar, maybe he is still a talent like Yu Hou." Even if Li Yu wants to use the dead room, can't he send someone else, if he has to use a scholar, wouldn't it be a waste? ”

That's right, in ancient times, scholars were rare talents. According to historical records, the literacy rate of the people in the Ming and Qing dynasties was only 5 percent, and this was still under the condition that printing technology was greatly popularized. In the two songs, this ratio is only afraid to be lower. Scarcity is precious, especially in this troubled era, as long as you know a few words, you will be accepted by anyone who votes for whichever force you vote into. There is no way, whether it is managing the place or sending and receiving in the army, you always have to use people, and the so-called dishes are all dishes.

Wang Shen also shouted: "Marquis Yu, I am indeed a scholar. ”

Lu Can shouted: "Shut up, what's the matter with your hair." You also say that you are a scholar, don't you know the truth of your parents? I think you're a villain. ”

Wang Shen remembered that he was a big boss and said busily; "I was originally a scholar in Hebei, and after the Jurchens occupied Hebei, they ordered the people to shave their hair and make it easy to obey. I am a descendant of Yan and Huang, how can I dress up as a Hu person, so I shaved my hair, and I want to escape into the empty door and not be a slave to the country. Helplessly, the master in the temple said that I have a family and a mouth, and the dust is not broken, so I refuse to take it in. I had no choice but to flee south with my family from Lunan all the way to here, and now the hair on the top has not grown. The so-called hearing is better than seeing it, and I also know some about Li Yu's thief, and everything he has done is true. ”

Lu Can's face softened a little: "Listening to what you said, my demeanor and conversation are a little elegant, but this can't solve my suspicions, and it's not enough to redeem your life." ”

An Niang hurriedly shouted: "Official, we are really good citizens, and we have a household registration document to quote us, please check it." ”

Yi Jie said: "Ahem, why didn't you take it out earlier, you have a text citation, it's nonsense." After that, he hurriedly took two pieces of paper from An Niang's hand and handed them to Lu Yuhou flatteringly.

At this time, he was eager to save Wang Shen's life.

In fact, whether the surname Wang is dead or alive has nothing to do with him. The reason why this is so is that the fact that Li Yu's army made a detour to Pingyuan Town is terrifying. With more than 200 people in the baggage camp, if you want to defend this place, you will undoubtedly hit the stone with an egg.

The big husband does not stand under the dangerous wall, and the big husband would rather believe in what he has than believe in what he does not have.

It's better to retreat as soon as possible and go damn good.

The person surnamed Lu refuses to believe it, and the end is hateful. This dead plague has been holding the shelf of a scholar on weekdays and looking down on us soldiers.

Straight lady thief, broken household.
