Chapter 16 Supporting Yingchuan
A year has passed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Winter goes to spring, whose new swallow pecks the spring mud. At this time, whether it is on the city wall of Zhuojun County or on the beams of the people's homes, the silver snow that has not melted yesterday can still be vaguely seen, and everything seems to be a sign to the people here that this spring is extraordinary.
As the saying goes, snow is not cold, snow is cold. In the early morning, the weather is still relatively cold, and there are few people coming and going on the street.
Even so, at this time, the Zhuojun school was still full of people and lively. Compared to some other places in the city, this place seems to be another world, because there is no spring, summer, autumn and winter here, only sweat and perseverance.
"One, two, three, four...... Four hundred and ninety-eight, four hundred and ninety-nine, five hundred. ”
"Whew!"
A young man in his early twenties, sweating profusely at this time, had just finished reciting the word 'five hundred' in his mouth, and his body collapsed for a while, and he lay down heavily.
This person's name is Yang Cheng, he is a recruit who has just been recruited by the Zhuojun Army in the past month, he has long wanted to join the Zhuojun Army, but his physical strength is always not up to standard, but under his daily hard workout, he finally qualified to become a Zhuojun soldier.
The words have to start from a year ago, when Ge Liang used ingenuity to break 30,000 yellow turban thieves with 5,000 soldiers. Protecting the safety of tens of thousands of innocent people in Zhuo County, the people are all grateful to Dade and call Ge Liang a great hero.
Moreover, through a year of governance, light taxation and heavy farming. The people are enthusiastic, everyone has a full bite to eat, and they no longer have to worry about not being warm and hungry.
For a while, Ge Liang's prestige reached its peak, and the children of every family were proud to participate in the Zhuojun Army, so as long as they reached the required age, they would sign up for the Zhuojun Army as soon as possible.
In the face of such high enthusiasm of the common people, Ge Liang had no choice, after all, he couldn't recruit all the marriageable young people. This is absolutely harmful to the development of a city. So he raised the requirements again and again.
No, originally doing 500 push-ups was one of the daily requirements for the recruited Yellow Turban soldiers at the beginning, of course, now it has been increased to 2,000 per day.
Now the basic requirement for being qualified as a recruit is to complete 500 push-ups in one hour, and to reach the age of 18 before joining the Zhuojun Army.
Even if the requirements are raised so much, there are still many young people who successfully meet this requirement every day, join the Zhuojun Army, and become qualified soldiers.
Then again, Ge Liang has not been idle in this year, and now he can basically fight Guan Yu for more than a dozen rounds without being defeated.
Of course, in the end, it was inevitable that there would be a fiasco, but Ge Liang was already very satisfied. After all, he had a weak foundation from the beginning, and if it weren't for the ruthlessness that he once studied at a prestigious university, he would not have made such great progress.
"Big brother, a year has passed, what should we do next."
Liu Bei on the side looked at Ge Liang, who had just finished discussing with Zhang Fei and was defeated, so he stepped forward and asked without hesitation.
For the four brothers, they are basically indistinguishable from each other now, and if they have something to say, they can say it directly, and there is no need to beat around the bush at all.
Wiping the sweat on his head with a towel, Ge Liang panted and said to Liu Bei who came over,
"Although the generation of Yellow Turban thieves in Zhuo County, Youzhou has been cleaned up, but this is only a small part, and I received a message from the imperial court yesterday. Three days later, I was appointed as a lieutenant general, and three days later, I marched to Yingchuan to support Zhu Jun and General Huangpu Chong, who were besieged in Changshe. ”
"Okay, haha, now there's finally another fight, and I'm about to suffocate."
Zhang Fei, who had just come over, set off in three days when he heard Ge Liang say and marched to Yingchuan, and he immediately came to his senses.
"Hehe, fourth brother, are you saying that it's boring to talk to me." Ge Liang pretended to glare at Zhang Fei viciously.
"Don't dare, don't dare, Yide doesn't dare."
Zhang Fei saw that he had said the wrong thing, and his voice immediately became quieter, like a good baby who had done something wrong.
Since the Battle of Zhuojun a year ago, Ge Liang defeated 30,000 Yellow Turban troops at a small price, and at that time, Zhang Fei admired Ge Liang in his heart.
Moreover, Zhang Fei has seen Ge Liang's progress in martial arts in the past year, so whether it is in strategy, or in leading troops and practice, Zhang Fei really admires the five-body throw.
Of course, not only Zhang Fei is like this, but even Liu Bei and Guan Yu are all like this.
"Haha, the eldest brother is joking with you, the fourth brother should not be surprised. Three days later, they set out to march to Yingchuan. ”
After Ge Liang finished speaking, he walked to the school field again and continued to exercise, this is his life for a year.
…
Three days later, the Zhuojun school field
On this day, Ge Liang and the four stood in front on horseback, with 10,000 soldiers behind them. Among them, 3,000 cavalry, 7,000 infantry, the ranks were neatly aligned, without the slightest mess.
Now in Ge Liang's hands, plus the one recruited in the past year, there are already 13,000 soldiers. Moreover, after Ge Liang's training, these thirteen thousand soldiers have basically become a mighty steel lion, and their combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to that of some improvised thieves.
This time, Ge Liang planned to bring 10,000 soldiers, leaving the 3,000 soldiers he had recently recruited to garrison Zhuo County. Among them, Guan Yu led the town guard. If it weren't for the small number of people available to Ge Liang's subordinates, he would definitely not let Guan Yu stay here, so there was no way to do it.
At this time, Ge Liang looked serious, rode his horse, pulled the reins, turned around, and shouted at the 10,000 soldiers who were ready to go:
"Brothers, if the yellow scarf is not removed, we will never have a peaceful day. Now that there are countless innocent people everywhere, who are suffering as much as you once did, what should we do? ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
10,000 soldiers, holding high the weapons in their hands, said in unison: "Follow the adults, save the people from fire and water, exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves, and raise the prestige of my Zhuo County." ”
"It's good, I brought it out by Ge Liang's subordinates, and there was no instigation. When the world is prosperous, the people are prosperous. When the world dies, the people die. Please remember that our lives are used to defend the court and protect our relatives from being harmed, otherwise all thieves will be killed. ”
Ge Liang saw the 10,000 soldiers who were full of enthusiasm, and the passion in his heart seemed to be ignited in an instant, and he shouted loudly.
"Big brother, be sure to take care." Guan Yu on the side said worriedly.
This time, as the person left by Ge Liang to guard Zhuo County, he was also very worried about Ge Liang's safety. Although the latter has insisted on practicing every day for the past year, after all, his foundation is weak, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, so it is inevitable that some accidents will occur.
"Haha, don't worry, third brother, just wait for the triumphant return that I am waiting for, let's go!" After saying that, he set off outside the city without looking back.
The 10,000 elite soldiers behind him, the team was neat and uniform, and they followed behind Ge Liang with great momentum.
When Ge Liang came to the city gate, the people of the whole city heard that Taishou was going to send troops today to save the innocent people who had fallen into the Yellow Turban thieves like them, and they all put down their work and waited for Ge Liang's arrival.
"I wish Lord Taishou a triumphant return! I wish Lord Taishou a triumphant return! ”
None of the people present had been rehearsed, but what they said at this time was so consistent.
It can be seen how important they put Ge Liang's safety in a very important position. In their eyes, Ge Liang'an, Zezhuo Jun'an, the people finally looked forward to such a Taishou, so they must be worried about Ge Liang's safety.
Ge Liang watched so many people come out to see them off in person, and he was also very moved in his heart, and a thousand words were not worth the people, this heartfelt word.
Ge Liang, who was riding on a horse, smiled and waved his hand to everyone present. So under the concerned eyes of everyone, he slowly passed through the city gate and ran into the distance.
