Chapter 49: Trimming (Asking for Recommendation)
In the early morning of the next day, that is, the morning of the second day of the Han army's sacrificial flag, the herald soldiers sent by Ni Tao came to the Hedong military camp with a sheepskin roll. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Riding on a tall maroon horse, I saw from a distance that the big tents in the barracks were still there. But when I got closer, I couldn't see a single figure, and I couldn't hear the sound of the old drills at all.
It wasn't until they entered the main tent surrounded by the military tent that the soldiers who gave the order were surprised to find that there were not many people left here, and when they looked at it, they estimated that there were no more than a thousand people.
Seeing that there were still guards on both sides of the main tent, the soldiers who came to give the order hurriedly walked over and asked, "Where is the army here?" Is the general still in the camp? ”
The camp was guarded by an ordinary soldier, and in the face of the thousands of people who came to give orders, he naturally paused and bowed: "The general is still in the camp, and the whereabouts of the army are secret, and the subordinates do not know." ”
After a silent glance, the thousand generals did not say anything more, and one of the men who turned around and lifted the curtain of the tent strode in.
In the tent, Wu Ming once again held a map and kept depicting. It's just that the place depicted is neither Fangcheng near Zhangshui, nor Yicheng and Fengyu opposite Han. What he was looking at was a part of western Korea bordering Qin and Wei.
"General, this is the military situation of the South Korean army." The thousand people who walked to the side didn't dare to disturb too much, and while his movements were a little slower, he raised his hands, presented the parchment roll, and said flatly.
The temperature inside the tent was cold, not much different from the outside. Soldiers are human beings, but they are also a symbol of spirit, that is, the spirit of not being afraid of all difficulties and obstacles, and having the courage to break and conquer everything. Because of this, there was not the slightest fire in the tent.
Sketching the last stroke on the picture, Wu Ming gently put the pen holder, turned around, took the parchment roll from the hands of Qianrenjiang, slowly opened it, and looked at it carefully.
Everywhere he looked, the small words on the parchment scroll entered his heart. The above content is not much different from his previous estimate, but not to mention the free supply of grain and grass by the Qin people, they even provided 30,000 sets of armor for free, which is really indescribable arrogance in this troubled Warring States under the productive forces.
Easily put the parchment roll aside, Wu Ming turned to the thousand generals and said: "Go, go back and tell General Ni Tao, just say that everything is according to the original plan, it is time to make a move, let him decide for himself." ”
"Yes." Thousands of people will be handed over again. Turn around, raise the curtains, and stride away.
"It's time to go!" Looking at the corner of the curtain door that had been restless with the wind a few times before settling down, Wu Ming talked to himself thoughtfully.
……
During the march, the prince on horseback stared at the gravel paved road in front of him, and his expression was equally thoughtful.
The front rode slowly on the side of the army, going against the army. When he walked to the place where the Chinese army Gong Zhongxuan was, the soldier bowed directly on horseback and bowed his hand, "General, it is less than two hundred miles away from the Wei realm, and the Wei army scouts are found in front. ”
"Hmm." Gong Zhongxuan was interrupted from thinking, and his expression was like waking up from a dream, "Have you caught someone to ask?" ”
"General Yu," the scout's face showed a slight hesitation, obviously, things were not going well: "Our army scouts are secretly approaching and want to sneak attack the Wei army scouts, but the other party is not entangled, and they leave in a hurry at the slightest movement." At the moment, no one has been caught. ”
"Got it." Nodding slightly, Gongzhong commanded in a loud voice: "Order the whole army, speed up the march of fifty miles, and then set up camp, rest well tonight, and march a hundred miles tomorrow to march to the Wei realm." ”
After the words fell, he turned to the scout who was waiting on the side and said: "Tell me to go down, be careful tonight, take strict precautions, and don't make mistakes." ”
"The last will be ordered." Turning the horse's head, the scout snorted softly, and the war horse trotted away in amusement.
Turning over the sheepskin map he had brought with him before the march, Gong Zhong kept pointing on his horseback, his brow sometimes soothing, sometimes furrowed.
"Hanju." After a while, he turned to look at the general who was also riding a war horse.
"The end will be."
"Do you know, in the Wei army, who is in Yicheng?"
"As far as we know at the moment, the defenders of Yicheng are fighting the banner of Wu, but our scouts have not found Wu Ming in recent days." The voice was somewhat light.
Gong Zhong frowned when he heard this, but lowered his head slightly.
At this time, Han Ju's face showed a strange expression, and then said: "The Wei army is very strict with the surrounding area, it is said that all the roads into the Wei Kingdom have been sealed a month ago, and the people who enter the city are even more strictly checked, and it is difficult for our scouts to get in. Even if it is mixed in, even if it is ...... I was fortunate not to be discovered, but I was afraid that I would not be able to come out to report the news, and I couldn't see it clearly when I watched it from a distance. ”
When the words fell, Han Ju took a breath softly, and his expression was somewhat lost, like a defeated rooster.
"It is said that Wu Ming, the new general of the Wei State, has some skills, and along the way, I always feel restless in my heart, and I am afraid that something will happen!" Closing the sheepskin map, Gong Zhong said worriedly.
"The general doesn't have to worry too much, even if Wu Ming is really not in vain, this time my Korea has formed an alliance with Zhao State, and the strength is far superior to Wei State, as long as you are careful, you will definitely win."
"I hope I'm overthinking!" Taking a deep breath of cold air, Gong Zhongxuan seemed to be deliberately keeping himself calm, "It is expected that the army will be able to run for fifty miles at dusk, and after nightfall, you will take a few people to guard the grain and grass, I am worried that the Wei people will take advantage of the surprise attack tonight." ”
"Yes."
……
Five hours passed. It was already getting dark. After marching 50 miles, the 60,000 Han troops stepped up the clearing of a nearby open space near the loess slope, and while camping, the army began to build stoves in batches and cook food to replenish their strength.
In the dark, the sight was not good, and there was curling green smoke rising from the ranks of the Korean army, and a faint cold wind blew, bringing the smoke to the loess slope a mile away.
"Sneeze ......"
The intolerable smoke of the cooking slowly drifted into the nostrils of the two scouts hidden here. One of the scouts couldn't help but open his mouth and sneeze out in a strange way.
"Be quiet, fortunately, this is near the army, if you are far away, you have to let the Wei army scouts find out." The other scout covered the mouth of the sneezing scout and whispered a reminder.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Immediately afterward, there was a whimpering sound in the mouth covered by the slap.
Not far away, a figure lying on his stomach covered with weeds and fallen leaves laughed silently as he looked at the round eyes of the scout who was choked.
