Chapter 202, Preparations for the North
The northern suburbs of Luoyang, and the state military camp.
The sun rose as usual in the morning, but the barracks in the eyes of the soldiers were no longer the same as they were yesterday, although there were torches illuminated last night, they still couldn't see it clearly, far less exciting than the eyeballs they were at the moment, and this time it was accompanied by guilt, and some people couldn't even believe that this qiÄ was actually caused by their own hands.
In fact, most of these soldiers are from Bingzhou, for Henan County, for Luoyang they don't have much sense of belonging, and unconsciously, this military camp in the northern suburbs has become their spiritual sustenance, or not so much sustenance, but a homesick transfer, which can divert their attention and slow down the eagerness for their hometown, after all, they have lived here for more than a year, people are emotional animals, these sergeants are no exception, and the people around them are the same as themselves, It can also make them feel a lot more balanced.
Now that this military camp has been destroyed, it is tantamount to breaking their last hope, making them suddenly extremely eager to return to Bingzhou and return to the place where they came from, and Lu Bu's order to go north was issued at this time, which can be said to cater to the hearts of all the soldiers.
In fact, when Jia Xu built yƬ to go north and annex the state, Lu Buhui agreed, and there were also considerations in this regard, the most important force in his hands now is this army, and the most difficult thing for the army to grasp is the military heart, with the military heart, he can be invincible, invincible, based on the world among the princes.
After Jia Xujian evacuated Luoyang and returned to the state, it seems that there is no need to rebuild the military camp, at least not so urgently, but now the most important thing is to prepare for the north, for example, such a long march, always bring enough food, and war horses also need grain and grass, these things have reserves in the barracks, but the problem is that after arriving in the state.
In addition, Lu Bu didn't mind causing more trouble to Dong Zhuo before leaving, why not do anything that harmed Dong Zhuo and benefited himself, he already had other arrangements for this. We'll see tonight.
Because we all know that we are going to leave here and return to the state. Therefore, even if the ruins of military tents and the remains of the camp can be seen almost everywhere in the barracks now, the soldiers are still indifferent, they just set up temporary tents, and they can live in people, because they also know very well in their hearts that this place will not stay for long, maybe tomorrow. Maybe in a few days they will be leaving, and returning to their hometown.
It is worth mentioning that after Lu Bu informed the whole army of the decision to go north and merge with the state, he specially ordered Jia Xu to set up spies around the military camp to search for people who might have escaped to deliver the news, and more than ten people have been arrested so far. Lu Bu believed that this was not all, but none of that mattered now.
There is also a good news that makes Lu Bu excited and reassuring that Wang Cheng brought out all the female dependents in the house safely, when he knew that Wu Qiong also contributed to this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this Wu Qiong is not simple, he has not decided whether to accept him, he has shown goodwill, and now he is a favor.
Lu Bu had just settled the Yan clan and them, and patrolled the generals who were in full swing preparing to go north. Suddenly, I noticed a person standing in the open space in front of me. From the back, it was Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun returned to the camp when the fifth watch was about to break break, and they took some of the sergeants out for training. This is also an important part of Lu Bu's plan to train the army, that is, to cultivate their night combat ability, he knows very well that many battles have taken place at night since ancient times, if you can be familiar with or even good at night fighting, it is also a big advantage for future strategic deployment.
Gao Shun should still be reading the book of soldiers at this time, all of them come according to the law and order, whether it is for others or himself, he is so demanding, and it is not surprising that Lu Bu has always been like this.
And Zhang Liao was arrested as a coolie, and it was naturally impossible for Lu Bu to do this kind of thing by himself, so he handed it over to Zhang Liao to arrange the command.
However, from last night to now, although the two have met but have not said a word, Lu Bu thought about it, stepped forward to say hello, and asked, "Why is Wen Yuan here?" ā
"Oh, see Wenhou ......" Although you are a general of Xizhong Lang, but now after all, it is in front of the Bingzhou military camp, in front of the generals, Zhang Liao also did his best to Lu Bu, but when he heard Lu Bu's question, he smiled bitterly: "Liao is looking at the camp, it took a lot of effort at the beginning of the establishment, but now it is said that it will be destroyed, and if the enemy attacks and causes this result, it is easy to say, but now it is our own ......people" He glanced at Lu Bu and hesitated, Lu Bu half-jokingly: "It's okay, Say whatever you want, don't you think I'm a tiger Lu Bu doesn't even dare to tell me the truth, are you still afraid that I will be annoyed and swallow you? ā
Zhang Liao couldn't help laughing, then sighed, and finally spoke: "It is also now that Liao has discovered the irreplaceable role of Wen Hou in this army, once Wen Hou is not there, let alone Wei Xu and them, it is Liao who has encountered this kind of scene tonight, I am afraid it will be ......."
Lu Bu's face changed slightly, but in the end he was silent, although Zhang Liao didn't finish speaking clearly in the end, but he understood what Zhang Liao meant, and he also knew very well that what Zhang Liao said was not wrong.
The reason why he originally asked Jia Xu to brainwash and educate the soldiers of the state army was to ensure that they were loyal to him, and he understood very well the importance of holding military power; But he forgot a little, now and the future is different after all, many things in the future may be used here, but they cannot be copied, but need to be adapted to the times, cleverly changed, what is not suitable is not suitable after all, and nothing is eternal and unchanging, nor is it a law that is permanently applicable.
As Zhang Liao said, it is true that he Lu Bu is the main force in the Bingzhou army now, which is indeed a benefit, and the biggest advantage is that this group of soldiers is loyal to Lu Bu and avoids the possibility of being divided by Dong Zhuo.
But it is not necessarily a good thing to recognize only one person in the army, just like now Lu Bu is not only the military soul of the Bingzhou army, but also their only cognition, if they still recognized Zhang Liao before, now after Jia Xu's guidance and indoctrination, they almost only recognize Lu Bu.
In fact, Jia Xu once reminded Lu Bu, but after all, he is a subordinate, and he is not the kind of minister, since Lu Bu insists, he will not persuade again.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh, maybe many things are really a mystery of the authorities, do you need to find someone to remind you at all times?
Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but look at Zhang Liao, if there is a person, Zhang Liao is undoubtedly very suitable, after all, although Gao Shun has an upright personality, he doesn't talk much, Zhang Liao will also be loyal to himself, and he knows how to be skilled, just like just now he knows how to stop in moderation, and he is not blindly tough, which will only make things worse and worse, after all, he is also a mortal after all.
Looking back, in fact, there would be no chaos with Lu Bu in this military camp, but after Zhang Liao said this, Lu Bu remembered to change.
Until he left Zhang Liao for the time being and returned to the tent, Lu Bu thought about the lights alone for a long time, and then he finally made up his mind, change is necessary, but not now, now is not the right time, after all, the policy cannot be changed overnight, he should take it step by step, since he has been wrong once, he should not be wrong a second time. (To be continued.) )
