Chapter Sixty-Seven: A New Move of the Plane Will
Since he had made the decision to rectify military discipline, Sun Yang first sent people to forcibly demolish the brothels and liquor shops around the barracks, and brought back more than 500 people in one operation in the morning, including many middle-level military attaches of the Western Army.

In fact, Sun Yang will send troops tomorrow, most of the soldiers will be taken away, there are fewer people, business is not good, and the brothels and liquor shops around the barracks will naturally decrease, the reason why Sun Yang still wants to do this is to show his attitude, he wants to re-serious military discipline, so the low-intensity anti-corruption and serious military discipline began silently.
After noon, the last group of escort grain and grass team left the barracks, Sun Yang breathed a sigh of relief, there is a way that the soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass first, so Sun Yang let the grain team set off a day in advance, of course, the grain team can not be too far away from the army, and the army can keep a distance of dozens of miles.
The men of the grain team would unload a portion of the grain along the way to feed the subsequent army, and the army itself would also carry the fifteen-day rations in case of emergency, which were specially made into flatbread and fried noodles to facilitate the march.
After systematic discussion, Sun Yang learned that when the army of the Ming Dynasty marched, the rations would be made into flatbreads with holes in the middle, and then skewered into a string and hung on the body, which could be directly baked and eaten during the meal, which was quite convenient.
Sun Yang's approach went one step further, adding fried noodles for the Red Army, and mixing shrimp, dried vegetables, and dried meat into it to avoid monotony in the soldiers' eating. Sun Yang, who was rich and wealthy, not only worked eating, but also worried about putting it on, and bought a lot of "wide cloth" from merchants from Yizhou, which was an early cotton cloth. Made into cotton clothes, this is a must-have to keep out the cold.
In order to attract more Yizhou merchants to Nanyang to sell wide fabrics, Sun Yang directly bought them at three times the price, and it was tax-free.
The Yizhou merchants returned to Yizhou to sweep the goods like crazy, and behind these Yizhou merchants stood the Shuzhong clan, and the checkpoints along the way were a piece of cake for them.
The problem of eating and wearing is solved, and the next is the problem of living, the tents of this era are roughly divided into three kinds, namely cowhide tents, cloth curtain tents, bamboo and rattan tents, cowhide tents are dedicated to the northern nomads, and the cowhide in the Central Plains is used to make armor, so the cloth curtain tents are used, and the tribes in the southwest region are directly taken from local materials due to the lack of skin and cloth, and bamboo and rattan are used as tents.
In order to be waterproof, the cloth tent used by the Central Plains people will be coated with tung oil or grease on it, and the defect of this kind of tent is that it is afraid of fire, so it can be said that it is a little bit.
By the time everything was ready, it was time for the next morning.
Sun Yang wore a golden armor of burning bags on the high platform, shining in the sun, this is actually a whole body armor made of bronze, just painted with a layer of gold paint on it, if it is made of pure gold, Sun Yang will probably only lie on the ground,.
Sun Yang raised his arms, and the soldiers in the audience cheered long live. The title of long live had not yet become a proper noun for the emperor at this time, so the Nanyang clans and officials who came to watch around did not feel uncomfortable.
"Going to the Prison"
Four military men walked forward with a pig and a sheep, slaughtered on the spot, and the generals of the Western Army standing beside Sun Yang had strange expressions, and they all turned their heads to look at Sun Yang.
Sun Yang also noticed it, but just shook his head slightly, although the generals of the Western Army didn't know why, but when they saw that the officials didn't say anything, they shut up.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the entire school field was dusty and covered with yellow sand.
Sun Yang quickly pulled on his armor, revealing only his two eyes, looking at this strange wind suspiciously.
"Oh no, the flagpoles are broken." Someone shouted.
Only then did Sun Yang see that all the flagpoles on the school field were broken, and some of the flags were trampled under the feet of the panicked soldiers, making them extremely dirty.
Just when everyone was in a hurry, the wind suddenly stopped, the wind came and went suddenly, leaving only a mess of the school field.
Several heads of the family and local officials stepped forward and said, "This may be a warning from the heavens, so that you might as well give up the expedition to Huainan." ”
Sun Yang's eyes swept over the officers and soldiers of the Western Army, and he found that many people had uneasy expressions on their faces.
Sun Yang said in a deep voice: "It is common for strong winds to blow in winter, so don't make a fuss. ”
"But ......," several officials had to persuade again.
"If there is any more vain talk about the heavens, there will be no forgiveness." Sun Yang's face was frosty.
Sun Yang walked off the high platform with a black face, stepped on the horse and raised his arms and shouted, "Let's go." ”
The cavalry was in front, the foot soldiers were behind, and they left the school yard in rows.
When Sun Yang returned to the Chinese army, he found that his sister Xiao Ran also came, Xiao Ran and Lu Lingqi stood together in light armor, looking heroic.
Sun Yang had a headache, the most taboo thing in the ancient march was to bring a woman, and bringing Lu Lingqi with him had already made many people dissatisfied, but this is good, and another Xiao Ran was added.
Xiao Ran rode the horse for a long time, and got into the carriage directly with bared teeth.
Sun Yang didn't pay attention to her, just take one more mouth, just send a few people to watch her, and when she gets tired of it, send her back.
This time, Sun Yang came out, without bringing famous generals or strategists, and directly discussed with the system if there was anything.
According to the plan made in advance, Sun Yang would travel 300 miles east and enter the area of Langling in Runan County, which was controlled by Yuan Shu, that is, the southern part of the modern Chengshan Mountain.
Sun Yang carried a lot of baggage this time, and according to the regular march speed of thirty miles a day, it would take ten days to reach Langling.
At noon on the first day, just as we were about to reach our first destination, the wheels of many wagons and ox carts carrying heavy loads suddenly broke.
Sun Yang commanded: "The infantry continue to advance, and the cavalry stay on guard." ”
Ren Fu, the general of the Western Army, arched his hand and said: "Official, this thing is too strange, before leaving, the last general has carefully checked, the wheels are intact, and we are all flat along the way, the wheels are inexplicably broken, and there are so many breaks, is it really a warning of celestial phenomena." ”
Sun Yang didn't expect the ancients to be so superstitious, and replied impatiently: "Again, there is no celestial warning." ”
Ren Fu then asked, "But it will take a lot of time to repair the damaged carriages and ox carts. ”
Sun Yang said: "Won't we bring a lot of mules and horses? Transfer all the baggage to the mule horse. ”
Ever since the will of the plane made trouble at the Puppet Conference, Sun Yang had been on guard, but what he didn't expect was that the other party would stop him in such a way this time.
The most important thing in marching and fighting is the morale of the army, and if she is allowed to continue like this, her morale will definitely plummet.
The system said: "You can see the move, after all, this is someone else's territory." ”
