Chapter 0126: Soldiers and Horses
At the beginning of the training, there was no rest, it was done every day, and there was a damn night shift at night. The requirements for the night shift are very simple, each soldier must know and be able to write his name proficiently, of course, not only these words, but more than three hundred words. and the ability to count, write, and calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division within a hundred.
More than half of the soldiers can't do this, so they can only take their time, but this is also a prerequisite for officers, if it doesn't work, it will be brushed off immediately, Zhang Yue has a large handful of blank bodies below the head in his hand, and he can play as much as he wants. However, officers above the head of the capital also have their own literary courses, and they are basically good at literacy and arithmetic, and what they strengthen is military strategy and military discipline.
Ten days later, the training results were very good, Zhang Yue simply pulled the infantry out of the city, crossed the Luoshui stone bridge, and marched 20 miles northwest along the south bank, just to the hilly area in the southwest of the Huamaliang Mountains, where he carried out a five-day field training in offensive and defensive subjects, marching, attacking fortified positions, and assaults.
I didn't want to go on for three days, and the soldiers of the state Zhifu Shi came to find it quickly, and Suo Wanjin, the commander of the Zhangwu Festival, received the Tokyo Express Horse Express, which contained the emperor's will and the Privy Council's order, and asked Zhang Yue to go to receive the order and discuss the combat matters.
Zhang Yue counted on his fingers, today is September 19, which is the season of autumn high horse fat, bending bow and eagle shooting. Nearly 200 years after the former Tang Dynasty lost the state, this war was of great significance. Zhang Yue's heart was full of enthusiasm, riding a horse and whipping, seventy or eighty miles to arrive in half a day, and at dusk he entered the city and went straight to Shuaifu.
The soldiers who stayed behind were waiting outside, Zhang Yue only took Chen Jia into the lobby of the Shuaifu, which was empty, only a few soldiers were on duty, and when they saw Zhang Yue coming in, they hurriedly served tea to receive them, and reported to Suo Wanjin.
After waiting for a while, Suo Wanjin came out of the back door of the festival hall, followed by a large group of Yanzhou civil and military officials, including Qin Mingshan, the envoy of the state yadu, Bian Conghan, the observer judge, and Yao Guangchun, the secretary of the observation. The military attache is the chief and deputy commander of the eighth battalion of the Zhangwu Army, plus the chief and deputy envoys of the Ya Army brought by Suo Wanjin himself, several staff members, and the lobby of the Shuaifu was full of people at once.
It was not dark, the lights had not yet been held, and the light on the festival hall was a little dim. Everyone knew each other well, and after greeting each other, Suo Wanjin took out the will and the Privy Council's decree and solemnly began to read it.
As usual, I started from the beginning, first read the signatures of the provincial and privy council officials, and then the main text was to the effect: first impassionedly, fiercely accusing the Huizhou party of being ungrateful, wolf-hearted, and according to the land of Huizhou rewarded by the former Tang Dynasty, attacking and killing the soldiers of the Great Zhou, blackmailing and looting the rewards and property of the Great Zhou, and slaughtering the people of the Great Zhou. Otherwise, set foot in Huizhou!
On the date of the decree, the Huizhou camp was established, and Guo Rong, the king of Jin, was deployed as the capital of the Huizhou camp; Xuanhui Southern Court envoy and sentenced Yongxing Military Government Minister Yuan Long as the deputy deployment, and provided military grain and grass. The Jingnan Army of Xuzhou was the commander of Mabu on the South Road of the Xingying South Road in Huizhou, and Shi Yi of the Jingyuan Zhangyi Army was the deputy envoy; The deputy capital of the left wing of the guard Si Longjie army waited for Liu Congxue, and led 5,000 forbidden troops to wait for the horse steps; The envoy of the province of Neike led 3,000 forbidden troops to the army, and waited for the deputy capital of the horse step; The guest province envoy Yang Tingzhang was the supervisor of the soldiers and horses on the South Road.
You can choose the sunrise to seize Xiaoguan in Yuanzhou, restore the entire territory of the state, and at the same time enter the state to seek opportunities to fight. With Lingzhou Shuofang Army Feng Jiye as the envoy of the north road of the camp in Huizhou; With Suo Wanjin of the Yanzhou Zhangwu Army as the deputy envoy, he provided military food and grass, guarded the rear, and maintained contact with all parties involved in the war. He also sent an envoy to negotiate with Xia Sui and Li Yiyin, persuading him to summon Ye Ci to evacuate from Huizhou, and if he did not obey, he could ask for it together. With the front of the palace, Zhang Yue was made the supervisor of the soldiers and horses, and rushed to Lingzhou to assemble as soon as possible.
After the decree was read, Suo Wanjin arched his hand in the direction of Tokyo, indicating his edict. Zhang Yue and the civil and military officials in the festival hall did the same, and then everyone turned around and looked at Suo Wanjin with a blank look.
"The will of the DPRK and China is very clear, Feng Jiye on the north road is the partial division, and the south road is the main force from Ruan. His Royal Highness the King of Jin is in charge of the Yongxing Army, and he may also go to the front line in person. Suo maintained the north and south roads and defended the border. When the messenger sent a bulletin before, he said that the forbidden army had passed the Tong Pass, and it should have arrived now. Then, General Zhang can send troops, a batch of grain and grass can be taken away, and the rest will be provided by Feng Jiye, and the insufficient amount will be escorted by a certain soldier, I don't know what General Zhang wants? The edict was a bit long, and Suowan read it with a dry mouth, drank a cup of tea, put down the cup and said solemnly.
Zhang Yue smiled bitterly: "That's the only way, I hope Feng Dashuai's grain stock is enough, otherwise it will be very troublesome to transport grain from Yanzhou or Qingzhou." ”
"What happened over there, Feng Jiye has been raising food for more than a month, and he has been prepared." Suo Wanjin smiled.
"That's good! According to local conditions and people, it is appropriate for the troops to be divided into two routes, but the composition of the main army on the south route is a bit miscellaneous, I don't know how many troops they are? How many troops can Feng Jiye send? Zhang Yue was already starting to calculate in his heart, but he naturally wanted to analyze it from the overall situation, but the military information was insufficient, which was a bit difficult.
"You can rest assured that Suo will collect the military information of the South Road in time, as well as the military orders for the camp, and report them to Lingzhou as soon as possible, but how you and Feng Jiye fight, I will be out of reach, I can only make some suggestions, you can decide for yourself." Suo Wanjin was a little depressed, he didn't actually participate in this battle, just a name, although he also had a job after the war, but he would be discounted, and he didn't go into battle in person.
"That's good! The last general will return to Jincheng early tomorrow morning, rest and prepare for two days, and leave for Lingzhou four days later. "The next thing you have to go to the front line to know, and you don't need to go south to the Yongxing Army to camp in Huizhou and wait for the military order.
As early as when Zhang Yue entered the customs, Guo Rong returned to Lanzhou to reunite with his family for a few days, then returned to Tokyo, and then led 8,000 forbidden troops and 1,000 horsemen to the west. Because Yuan Feng had previously delivered the summer tax grain to Luoyang, Xijing, and was collected by Wuxingde, who stayed in Xijing. And now, the tax grain is going to be pulled back again, and Guo Rong passed by and just brought the last batch over.
Of course, this kind of trivial matter can be handled by Wu Xingde, and it can't save Guo Rong's Wang Jia, what really makes him stay is his biological father Chai Shouli.
Chai Shouli, the word Kerang, Xingzhou Longyao Chaijiazhuang, now 59 years old, after Guo Wei ascended the throne, as his descendant, he was awarded the Yinqing Guanglu doctor, the school official department Shangshu, and the imperial history doctor.
This is a high-ranking official and a noble idle position, but Chai Shouli and Wang Pu, Wang Yan, Wang Yanchao, Han Lingkun and other ten fathers live in Luoyang, idle, often eat, drink and have fun together, bullying and dominating the market, the rogue nature does not change, and people at the time despise the "Luoyang Ten Fathers".
Because the current emperor Guo Wei's Yuan with Shengmu Empress Chai, is Chai Shouli's younger sister, in the early years of Tang Zhuangzong's concubine, Mingzong was cut out of the palace when he ascended the throne, and on the way home, he met Guo Wei, who was the head of the Han Army under Liu Zhiyuan, and the two fell in love with each other at first sight, but they have no children after marrying Guo Wei, and Chai Rong, the son of his brother Chai Shouli, was adopted and changed his surname to Guo Rong.
Later, Chai died young, although Guo Wei continued to be widowed Yang, Zhang, and Dong, he still missed his kindness, which shows that Guo Wei is actually very lacking in love in his heart, and he has always taken Guo Rong with him to experience. During the Qianyou Rebellion, all the family members in Tokyo were killed, and Guo Wei was left with only Guo Rong, the only relative.
Now Guo Rong has a respected status, and he hasn't seen his own father for several years. It's not that I don't want to see each other, but how to call each other, who should salute whom, in this era of respecting etiquette, this is a very embarrassing thing.
Unexpectedly, on the eve of this western expedition, when Jin Xiangdian summoned the right person alone, Guo Wei actually hinted that he was allowed to meet his biological father when he passed Luoyang. Guo Rong was very moved, crying and thanking! (To be continued.) )
