Gao Yue suddenly thought of something, and said with some surprise: "Why hasn't I seen that little doll called Ying Liu at the beginning?" ”

Han Yong said: "A few days after you left Shouyang, Ying Liu proposed to go east to Luoyang to find his family, but I couldn't keep it, so I had to let him go." ”

Gao Yue thoughtfully: "He is still young, and he has to travel a long way back to Luoyang, and he doesn't know what twists and turns there are on the road." Alas, may the heavens protect him. ”

As they spoke, the two of them had unconsciously walked to the city gate. I saw that more than a foot outside the moat, seven or eight rejecting horses had been placed horizontally. There were more than a dozen soldiers, groups of three or five who were constantly adjusting and measuring their positions before and after, and at the city gate, there were several soldiers, carrying the horses and walking out.

When they got closer, they looked at the horses, each one one zhang wide, and on the thick herringbone wooden frame, most of them were tightly nailed to a two-foot-thick log, and the log was stuck with iron spears and spears, and sharpened coarse bamboo.

Three sturdy soldiers, one in front of one in the middle and one in the back, hummed and shouted the trumpet, and walked over calmly with the steps of the horse. Someone stepped forward and signaled that the rejection horse was placed in the designated position. There was a muffled sound in the air, and the horse was heavily propped up on the ground, and the soldier stood for a while, wiping his sweat and resting his breath.

Gao Yue Han Yong stepped forward to ask. When those soldiers saw that the supreme and deputy commanders were here, they hurriedly stood up straight, and they didn't dare to take a breath of air, and they didn't even dare to wipe their sweat.

Han Yong approached, and shook the tip of the gun on the rejection horse vigorously, and sure enough, he did not move at all, without a little loose momentum, he stretched out his hands again, and carefully held a gun with one hand, so that the strength of his whole body violently pushed the rejection horse, and it was difficult to push it. Han Yong nodded approvingly, and gestured to Gao Yue, indicating that it was very good.

Gao Yue smiled at everyone's laughter, first encouraged and praised him, and expressed his satisfaction with the serious and hard work of all the soldiers, and hoped that everyone would always maintain this enthusiasm and not be negligent.

The soldiers present saw that Gao Yue was gentle, and they were somewhat relaxed, not as nervous as they were at the beginning. Gao Yue walked to the east and looked west, and beckoned a soldier and asked, "Who sent the horse to place the rejection?" ”

The soldier hurriedly responded: "Returning to the palace, this is arranged by Lord Sun and Lord Li. The specific matters are entrusted to the master of our team, Wu Team Leader, so one hundred brothers in our team are specially engaged in dealing with the rejection of horses. ”

It's Sun Long and Li Bao. Since Gao Yue last explained the matters of city defense and armament, Sun and Li did not dare to slack off, and quickly took action, formulated a detailed plan for each work, subdivided it layer by layer, assigned specific tasks to each team owner, and implemented the responsibility to the people.

And because when Han Yong came to Xiangwu City, he brought the property confiscated from Zhiping and Pan Wudu. The two of them had a lot of private hiding, but they didn't expect that in the end, Gao Yue was cheaper, and Han Yong loaded three cars and pulled them to Xiangwu. Therefore, there is no need to worry about funding for the time being.

At the beginning, after Han Yong received Gao Yue's summons, he set off immediately after handing over Cao Mo and Li Hu, and arrived at Xiangwu City in the evening of the same day, and all the civil and military officials in the city came to visit. And because Han Yong is in charge of the military, Sun Long also has frequent contact with Han Yong, intentionally or unintentionally, and now he is relatively familiar.

Gao Yue asked again: "Are these rejections all made by your team?" ”

The soldier replied solemnly: "Return to the palace." We made it ourselves, and there are 80 of them. In front of each gate, twenty were placed. ”

"I've heard Lord Sun say that there are still a few rejections in the city?"

"Return to the palace. Team Master Wu took us to Hyogo to inspect it. Originally, there were 52 rejection of horses, but they have all been decayed and loosened. Team Leader Wu said that with the kung fu of that cultivation, it is better to do a new batch. Team Leader Wu said, the prince of the palace is strict and meticulous, since our brothers do it, then we must ask to do it according to the standard, and we can't let others laugh at us. ”

Gao Yue was overjoyed, patted the soldier's shoulder, and said loudly, "Okay, very good." I'm glad you were so meticulous. What's your name, and what's your leader's name? ”

The soldier was a little excited, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, so he forced his face to be a little funny, and said, "Go back to the palace." The little one is called a brother and our team leader is called Wu Xia. ”

Han Yong had been standing beside Gao Yue, but at this time, he stepped forward and asked coldly, "Why are many of the spears and spears rusty on this rejection horse?" ”

The soldier looked at Han Yong, although he knew that he was the official of his own Shangguan, but he didn't know what kind of official rank Han Yong was, and it was not easy to call him, so he hesitated for a while: "Go back to Han ...... Han...... Captain? ”

He was the most basic soldier. The Shangguan I have seen is nothing more than Shi Chang, the deputy of the team. If it weren't for the reorganization of the entire city this time, all of his team would have participated, and even the company leader would not have been able to see him every day. Not to mention Sun Long and Li Bao, who are the owners of the building, they are even more senior officers in Xiangwu City.

The general rank of the owner of the building is the captain. But Han Yong was the head of all the officers, so this soldier was a little hesitant, and for the sake of safety, he first called Captain Han to investigate.

Seeing that the soldier was embarrassed, Gao Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is my negligence. However, today's decree has only been issued, and I have not officially announced the appointments. ”

He turned to look at Han Yong with a smile, and saw that he was still expressionless, and there was no dissatisfaction, and he smiled at the soldier: "Captain, it's not appropriate." It can be called General Han. ”

Rao is Han Yong is calm and few words, and when he heard Gao Yue's words, his heart couldn't help jumping. In the Wei and Jin dynasties, Taishou was a member of the five grades, and if he was the leader of the troops, he was also awarded the rank of general of the five grades, such as Gao Yue, Longxi Taishou, and the general Yingyang, who could theoretically lead an army independently.

Therefore, not any military attache can be called a general. Even if it's a polite honorific title, it's not good. The lord of the building has a direct jurisdiction of 500 people, and it is best to be just a captain, and then above, he is the battalion master who can command a thousand people.

At the beginning, Wu Tuzhen, the former general of Longxi County, commanded a battalion of thousands of county soldiers in Longxi County, and was the title of captain of Qipin. If you have meritorious service and outstanding reputation, you can be promoted to the position of a six-rank general, so that you can be called a general. In general, the highest military rank of a county general is the Zhonglang general.

Han Yong's current position, to put it seriously, is still the Sima of another department when he was in Shouyang County before. It's barely enough to be on the ninth grade, and it's not worth mentioning. Now listening to Gao Yue's tone, he wants to award him the title of Zhonglang General, and the gap is too big, and he can't help but feel his heart surging up.

"Lord, this?" Han Yong was a little uneasy, and suddenly rose to a higher position, and his thoughts couldn't keep up for a while.

Gao Yue smiled and waved his hand. How can this kind of appointment be brought up and discussed on this occasion? He said to the soldier who was standing aside: "General Han's question, what is your answer?" ”

The soldier woke up from a dream, "Ah. Yes, yes. Returning to Fujun and General Han, the tip of the spear on the horse was rusty, but it was deliberately inserted. ”

Han Yong also came back to his senses and asked, "Oh? Why is that? ”

"Originally, these rusty spears and spears had been kept in the treasury for a long time. When Team Leader Wu took us to take the inventory, he saw that these weapons could no longer be used, so he was ready to throw them away. Later, I thought, why not just cut off the barrel of the gun, leaving only the head of the gun. Although the head of the gun is rusty, it is still hard, and when inserted into a repulsive horse, it can also block the enemy's attack, inflict heavy damage on the enemy's soldiers and horses, and can also save a lot of money. ”

This time, not only Gao Yue, but also Han Yong's always wooden face also had a look of surprise. This Wu Xia is a talent, to be precise, he should be regarded as a specialist in logistics and urban defense and military affairs.

In ancient times, especially during wars, the logistical aspect was quite important. In the book "Wu Zi", the importance of military logistics is also discussed. In ancient times, technology was not as advanced as it is now, and transportation was quite fast. At that time, the transportation was inconvenient, the information was slow, and after the army set out for the battle, grain, grass, weapons, ordnance, clothing, sycophants, people, etc., and so on, one link could not keep up, which could lead to the defeat of the war or even the annihilation of the whole army.

However, the army is far away from the front line, where can it be able to transmit the logistical burden to the rear in a timely manner at any time? Therefore, a person who is proficient in logistics, can arrange and prepare in advance, calculate all aspects in place, and reduce the probability of loopholes as much as possible is more important than a general who can fight well.

Han Yong couldn't help asking: "After talking for a long time, I haven't seen this Wu team leader, where is the other person?" ”

"Returning to General Han. Since the morning, the leader of the Wu team has been in the arsenal, together with the lord of Sun and the lord of Li Lou, repairing the roof and cleaning the warehouse. ”

Maybe pay more attention to this Wu Xia in the future. Gao Yue thought so. Han Yong looked back and forth, and instructed: "These rejected horses, when they are placed, they don't need to be so neat, they should be so staggered." ”

He took a few steps forward and made a gesture, "You must know that the enemy is coming to attack the city, thousands of them, most of them are taking advantage of the sharp spirit, surging up, do they still keep the order in a regular manner, and line up neatly." ”

"Have depth. This area, and over there," Han Yong strode around, pointing at any time, "and it will extend three feet further." These rejection horses are very heavy, and they are all good, if they are not properly placed, they will greatly lose their power, which is a pity. ”

Under the guidance of Han Yong, the soldiers present hurriedly moved and lifted the rejection horse, and between shouting and walking, the three rejection horses were placed in a group, with points into lines, lines into surfaces, and rearranged them.

Somehow, the sun fell into the heavy lead clouds, and there was a drizzle in the sky. Gao Yue saw that the soldiers were serious about their work, and they didn't want to bother anymore, so he greeted Han Yong and walked towards the city gate.

The two of them walked up the wall. There were already patrol guards, trotting forward to salute in fear, but Han Yong waved his hand and temporarily retreated to the side to serve.
