Chapter 308: Rapid March

Zhao Yu ordered that after he left, Qian Yanyuan would temporarily preside over the overall situation of the pacification department, and the local stability would be the main thing, and the work of the inspection envoy would also be slowed down.

Du Xiansheng assisted Qian Yanyuan, and Yang Wei accompanied the army.

On the surface, it is Zhao Yu's importance to Yang Wei, but in fact, Zhao Yu does not have enough trust in Yang Wei, who is not inferior, for the time being. This guy is a sharp blade if he uses it well, and if he doesn't use it well, he is a poisonous snake, which will eat Zhao Yu with one bite, and it is still a fatal blow.

When Zhao Yu left the yamen, there were already sergeants who came to report that the Beiwei army was ready, and now they were opening out of the west gate and assembling in the open space outside the west gate.

Zhao Yu nodded, immediately turned over and got on the horse, clamped the belly of the Que Yue black horse, and the Que Yue black horse neighed. Zhao Yingwu, Yang Yu and other more than 20 horsemen immediately followed.

Along the way, there were already urgent reports that the officials who had cleared the roads were driving away the people. Although Zhao Yu felt that this had the flavor of bullying the people, but at this moment, the war was about to break out, and the kindness of the woman had to be put aside. Hardened his heart, Zhao Yu came to the West Gate all the way. The west gate is more thorough here, and the antlers are pulled up directly near the city gate, and it is no longer possible for everyone to enter or get out.

Seeing Zhao Yu's royal banner, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly moved the antlers and made way for a smooth road.

Zhao Yu felt that such a fuss was made, you must know that Li Yuanhao has not yet taken the Zhenrong army! Such martial law can easily affect the people's will and social stability, especially Fengxiang Mansion is still the place where Qinfeng Road is governed, and every move will pull the nerves of other states and counties in Qinfeng Road.

Zhao Yu instructed Zhao Yingwu: "You immediately go and tell the officers and soldiers guarding the city, it's okay to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside!" It doesn't have to be so nervous. The Xixia thieves haven't arrived yet! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Yingwu promised. Immediately rode out of the group.

Outside the city gates. You can see that in an open space that was originally estimated to be a place for goods, 500 back-mounted soldiers with 800 horses, more than 300 donkeys, and mules are waiting in the clearing.

Not all of the 500 backers were backers, only 300 of them were backers, and the other 200 were servant troops with the nature of horsemen.

Zhao Yu glanced around and found that although the preparations were hasty, there were still preparations that should have been made. The back of the saddle was wrapped in a burden, and in the places where some of the burdens could not be wrapped, you could see the cold glistening iron leaves. Donkeys and mules carry food on their backs.

In particular, Nanban soup is actually instant powder, but I don't know why, after arriving in the Central Plains, this food changed its name. Each person is carrying a three-pound Nanban soup, and if it is washed with water, it can definitely make no less than ten catties of food. Even if it is a high-intensity battle, it is enough for a soldier for three days. If it's an ordinary march, it's enough to eat for five days!

Zhao Yu was very satisfied with this, and the deputy commander of the Beiwei Army made Liao Chen step forward and salute. Said: "Lord Wang, there are five hundred and twelve people in the Beiwei army. There were 497 people, one of whom was unaccustomed to the soil, and the other 14 had not returned from vacation. Because of the urgency of the situation, I had to give up the notification if I couldn't be contacted! ”

Zhao Yu also knew that there must be a shortage of personnel, after all, even if it was an army, there was a vacation every day. If you were asked to go to work every day, you would have complaints, let alone a place like the army, which is serious and has a lot of training and pressure?

"Good!" For such data, Zhao Yu is already very satisfied.

"Let's go! The military situation is like fire, no matter what! All arrive in six days! Zhao Yu said categorically.

Many people were surprised, Tianxing County is not close to the Zhenrong Army, about 960 miles away, and after leaving Tianxing County, it is to enter the hilly area, and if you can't walk a hundred miles, you will enter the mountainous area. Although it is said that this road is a well-built official road, it is also a mountain road, and the hardships of the road cannot be changed by manpower.

If it had been changed to other armies, there would have been complaints at this time, but the Beiwei army was only stunned for a moment. No one objected to this, and the soldiers all looked at Zhao Yu calmly.

Zhao Yu was very satisfied with the reaction of the Beiwei army, this was the strong army he wanted.

Zhao Yu thinks that the most bullish sentence of Sparta is: Don't ask how many enemies there are, just ask where the enemies are!

Now Zhao Yu is going to train the Beiwei army in this direction, some people may say. Isn't this a matter of courage and indestructibility? Actually, no, this is actually for the soldiers. Naturally, the generals would not use such rules and regulations to restrain him!

Getting back to the point, Zhao Yu gave an order, and the five hundred Beiwei troops immediately followed Zhao Yu, set off from the West Gate, and went straight to Wuli Town along the official road. As the name suggests, Wuli Town is a town five miles away from Tianxing County.

Don't look at this place is not far from Tianxing County, but after here, it is in Longzhou.

It was only in the afternoon, and Zhao Yu had already arrived in Longzhou. The governor of Longzhou has already prepared food and forage here. Zhao Yu didn't care about being polite, and as soon as he got off the war horse, he ordered the governor of Longzhou to transfer a hundred horses in such an hour.

When the governor of Longzhou heard this, he made a bitter face. Although Longzhou is located on the border, a hundred horses is not a small number. What's more, it was done in half an hour, that is, an hour!

Fortunately, Zhao Yu did not ask to be a war horse. Therefore, the governor of Longzhou gritted his teeth and barely collected a hundred war horses. With the addition of a hundred war horses, many horses were liberated.

After refusing to be held by the governor of Longzhou for the night, the Beiwei army gritted its teeth and advanced again. Because the moonlight was not bad, in the first half of the night, the Beiwei army was rushing overnight. For this reason, because of the night, more than 20 horses broke their hooves, and it is estimated that more than half of them could not be cured. Although it only folded its feet, the horse is not a three-legged animal, so the only thing that can be done in the end is to kill the horse that is no longer useful.

In addition to the horses, there were also three soldiers who had lost their horses and were seriously injured in a fall. Fortunately, no one died, but the three Beiwei soldiers had to be urgently bandaged in the army, and then arranged for someone to be sent to Longzhou to find a doctor for further treatment.

It was only in the second half of the night that the Beiwei army stopped moving. Five hundred people rested in a valley, and after hastily arranging a few men to keep vigil, no one else set up camp. He lifted the felt directly from the saddle, wrapped it around his body, and fell to sleep.

When they got up early the next morning, the soldiers of the Beiwei Army found that the night watchman had unknowingly become King Wei Chitose. There were also water marks on the clothes, and at a glance it was clear that it was not just a vigil. Only if the vigil is not short, will the clothes be wet by the fog. Many soldiers of the Beiwei Army were secretly moved in their hearts, feeling that although this rapid march was hard, the little resentment in their hearts had already turned into nothing when they saw Zhao Yu!
