Chapter 63: Camp
Lao Zao thinks so, anyway, when the conscription camp is called, it is his final say, even if he takes a concubine into the barracks, even if it is not right, someone makes a small report and reports it to his brother-in-law, or his nephew, it is not a big deal, and he will not do anything to him, as long as he trains the Zhaojun army, no one will say anything about him, so that he can not be bored and lonely at night, and he can do whatever he wants.

And his little concubine, because she has no heirs of Lao Jujube, wants to take advantage of this intimate and long-term contact to leave seeds, sow seeds and fertilizer, blossom and bear fruit, and then her position will be stable, otherwise, when she is old and decrepit, she will be miserable, ruthlessly abandoned, and have nothing to rely on.
When we saw the woman's voice coming out of Lao Zao's carriage, my heart smiled, when Lao Zao appeared in front of me again with a very tired look, my heart blossomed, if this Lao Zao is a person who likes Fengyue, regardless of the affairs of the military camp, then I am sure that this Omen Army will be trained into the Huoyue Army, and when the time comes, listen to the orders of my Huoyue people, wouldn't that be twice the result with half the effort, and get two thousand military strength for nothing, which is a force to be reckoned with in Donghai County, isn't it a beautiful and happy life.
In this era of cold weapons, people are power, and there are many people, as long as your people reach tens of thousands, you can completely establish your own kingdom of power and compete with the kingdom, as long as it is developed properly, it is not impossible to succeed in replacing it.
However, I thought so in my heart about the character of Lao Zao, when it was really time to arrange the camp, Lao Zao still reflected his clever side, worthy of the material of the Lord Ling, there were two brushes, and the camp I chose was appreciated, and I thought it was a dangerous place to defend, although there was no way out, but it was several grades better than other places, and the fortifications were relatively reduced several times, which was the key factor in choosing here.
I can't figure out how much Mars trusts me, this time I am responsible for choosing the camp, but I am not responsible for building the camp, and the reclamation is still mine, I thought that after Huo Gaoling came back, Mars would hand over the matter of this reclamation to Huo Gaoling, and I was really not in the mood to get the rice.
Since the address of the camp is my choice, then I will be responsible for building the camp, and the specific matters of training the Signage Army are very suitable, he, the battalion leader, only needs to make overall plans and grasp the overall situation.
I found out that this was deliberately arranged by Mars, and Huo Gaoling had a deep contact with the affairs of the cantonment, and was more familiar with it than the others in the camp, and he was in charge of it before. However, now, when I see Huo Gaoling commanding his men to set up camp, I find that this job is still Gao Ling's work.
Huo Gaoling is a few words of giving orders, who is responsible for digging ditches to divert water, who is responsible for leveling the ground, who is responsible for erecting tents, all of them are carried out in an orderly manner, and it is not an easy thing to set up camp, although there are only more than 100 people, among which the Huoyue people are now only Gaoling's team, and the rest of the people are people and carriages brought by Lao Zao from Donghai County, and the carriages are pulling the food eaten by the Zhaojun.
The sergeant brought by Lao Zao has already dismantled the carriage and let the horse out to graze by himself, seeing that the Huoyue people have found things to do on their own, Lao Zao arranged for the sergeant he brought to listen to Gao Ling's arrangement, but he was giving orders behind my back, and I don't know what else he said, anyway, I think Lao Zao is like a different person, guarding me everywhere.
Could it be that he already knew my intention of choosing such a place, but he wanted to deliberately avoid the distance between the Omenjun camp and the Fire Moon camp, so that he would not be able to discover the secret of my rice cultivation, I think he was not so shrewd, for those plants like green grass, he could not see the clues until the rice ripened.
Even if he thinks it's strange, it's not a big deal, it's not difficult to say an excuse to confuse the past, it's just that he is guarding against me now, and he will inevitably disagree when he trains the army in the future, that is a troublesome thing, and it won't be so easy to master the Signmen Army.
Lao Zao is now a conscription of General Zhenwei, Lao Zhang is pro-sealed, too obedient to the order, I am embarrassed to let General Lao wait for a long time, therefore, after arranging the things of the sergeants, I hurriedly came to General Lao to listen to the order, for the generals from Donghai County, etiquette is an indispensable link, it was okay before, there was no direct leadership relationship, but now it is different.
I spoke respectfully and admired, and although Huo Gaoling had a bad heart, he still showed the respect that a subordinate should have. Lao Zao enjoys the honor of this kind of human master, especially the respect of the best warrior in the Dragon Kingdom.
Having said that, Lao Zao is not the kind of pampered and arrogant guy who is fierce and inward-looking, he still knows how to measure and act with his own rules, he still trusts and values us, without the slightest contempt and neglect, vigilance is another matter.
"Two fire captains, how are you going to build the fortifications of the camp?" ”
Gao Ling said: "Please also ask General Lao to show us, we were about to ask the general for guidance, but I didn't expect the general to ask, there must be a good plan." ”
Lao Zao really thought so, and said very proudly: "I don't have any good suggestions, I think the construction of a camp has been confirmed, then the rest is how to arrange the fortifications, the fortifications are to defend against the enemy, therefore, what kind of enemy we have, what kind of effective fortifications will be built." ”
"Yes." I echoed the sycophant, this Lao jujube has a very good art of speaking, and I don't know how hard to work hard.
Lao Zao pointed to the empty canyon meadow and said: "I put forward three requirements: first, at the gate of the camp, two ten-meter-high wooden watchtowers can be fireproof and strive to be strong; Second, there is a small river in the canyon, build a dam, dig a moat five meters wide and three meters deep outside the camp, fill it with water, and prevent the cavalry from rushing and killing, we have no cavalry, we can not be the object of cavalry slaughter; Third, block the mouth of the canyon and build a five-meter-high rammed wall. ”
Although the first two requirements are difficult, they can still be completed by manpower, but the third requirement is simply impossible to start, the first requires professional and technical personnel in the construction of the city wall, and second, a large number of manpower and material resources, as well as financial resources, Donghai County simply can't provide it, and the construction of the city wall here seems to be very chicken, and the ghost knows if it can come in handy.
The first two requirements, I and Gao Ling have been finalized, the third requirement, according to Gao Ling's opinion is to use wood to build a fence, save time, effort, manpower, and financial resources, and can also receive a certain effect, if it is really to be besieged by a large army, I think no matter how high the city wall is, it is useless, unless there is more than half a year of food.
Gao Ling and I were speechless, I didn't expect this General Lao to have such grand ideals and appetites, and he was ready to plan for long-term stability, and he couldn't help but think about it very carefully and in the long run.
"There are difficulties," Lao Zao said in surprise, "It's okay, I don't want you to complete it in a short time, but slowly in the future, you must know that there will not be two thousand conscripts in the future, and it will increase, and there will be thousands of coolies and laborers at that time." ”
The night before coming to Jidongguan, Lao Zhang told him that he must train the conscription army, no matter what the cost, it must be successful, although Donghai County has a population of less than 200,000, it is still not a problem to sign tens of thousands of troops, and when the time comes, the conscription army will all be under the command of Lao Zao, which is close to the county Sima, or even surpass him, and it is completely possible above him.
I'm not so optimistic, half of Donghai County's land is now in the hands of the White Turban Army, at least tens of thousands of people are within the control of the White Turban Army, and it is not as simple as words to recruit tens of thousands of troops.
With a population of 200,000, men and women are split in half, and there are only 100,000 men who fight, except for last year, the old and the young, it is good to have 70,000, and it is impossible for all of these 70,000 to join the army.
