Chapter 474: A Brilliant Battle (3)
The army set off less than ten miles, and Ashu, who was already in the middle of the army, received a report from the officers in front, and found that there were a small number of Ming troops during the march, and the number was not very large, and they made an offensive posture, but when the sergeants went up to fight, they quickly left, as if they were not willing to fight.

Finding that the Ming army was a big deal, the officer was naturally busy with the report, and when he received the report, Ah Shu was also very surprised, and immediately ordered the army to suspend the march, and prepare to discuss with Lu Wenhuan and others to see how to deal with it next.
Ah Shu was actually not fully prepared, he still had some doubts in his heart, whether it was Lu Wende, Lu Wenhuan and many staff, they all showed the importance of the Ming army in their words, which naturally made Ah Shu feel that if he completely despised or even ignored the Ming army, Ah Shu was not so sure.
The discovery of the Ming army in front made Ah Shu think that his judgment had made a mistake in the shortest possible time.
But just between the calcium carbide firelight, Ah Shu suddenly understood something, he first angrily reprimanded the officers who came to report the situation, and then issued an order, asking the army to speed up the pace of the march, and not be able to delay time at all.
Without consulting Lu Wenhuan and others, Ah Shu directly gave an order, and in order to make the speed of the march really faster, Ah Shu ordered the cavalry to open the way in front, and the foot soldiers followed closely, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Ah Shu even ordered the team responsible for escorting grain and grass to walk in the middle of the army.
Everyone knows that the speed of the team escorting grain and grass cannot be very fast, and the speed has always been the slowest in the army.
When Ah Shu made all the arrangements and deployment, Lu Wenhuan on the side did not speak, and when Ah Shu was deployed, Lu Wenhuan was still pondering and did not say anything.
Seeing the contemplative Lu Wenhuan, Ah Shu couldn't help but ask.
"Lord Lu, do you have any views on Ben Shuai's arrangement?"
Lu Wenhuan looked at Ah Shu and hurriedly spoke.
"I don't have any views below, and the marshal is very well arranged."
"Oh, what do you think about Lord Lu, you might as well tell me in detail."
"The Ming army evacuated Lianshui County, there must be some helpless move, the biggest possibility is that the troops are insufficient, part of the troops are stationed in Suzhou, Henan, this part of the troops need to be urgently dispatched to Haizhou, but this takes time, I have thought that the Ming army is very likely to resist our army in Lianshui County, delay the speed of our army's march, but the Ming army did not do this, indicating that Wu Shaogang believes that with a small number of troops, it is impossible to stop the pace of our army's march, rather than needless casualties, it is better to give up Lianshui County."
Ah Shu nodded again and again, and recognized Lu Wenhuan's analysis.
Lu Wenhuan didn't think of it so much, and continued to follow the train of thought.
"It can stop our army from marching quickly, this is a task that the Ming army must complete, and let go of Lianshui County, so fortify along the way, confuse our army, and also achieve the purpose of stopping our army from marching quickly. . . ."
A smile appeared on Ah Shu's face, but then his smile disappeared.
Lu Wenhuan was the most observant of words and expressions, and when he saw Ah Shu's face change instantly, he immediately understood something.
"In fact, such an analysis was made in the next, but also from the inspiration of the marshal, when the army entered Lianshui County, there were still some doubts in the heart, but there were no other facts, and I was embarrassed to say in the next, so as not to disturb the deployment of the marshal, and then the marshal made a series of arrangements, and began to think seriously about it, and finally understood the deep meaning of the marshal, and now the Ming army is a small force to interfere with our army, in the next thought, it can be ignored completely, and the army is required to speed up the pace and rhythm of the march, although rushed to Haizhou Prefecture, Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army has not yet been able to gain a foothold, they launched an encirclement and suppression... ”
What Lu Wenhuan said was very natural, and there was almost no pause.
Peering into the coach's inner thoughts, this is a very dangerous thing for his subordinates, no one wants their subordinates to be too shrewd, which is a major threat to themselves, Lu Wenhuan of course understands this, and immediately made a supplement.
Ah Shu's face softened slightly, and he spoke unhurriedly.
"What Lord Lu said is that Ben Shuai sees it the same way, the Ming army sent a small force to interfere along the road, just to slow down the pace of the march of the large army, so that the Ming army in Suzhou can arrive at Haizhou Prefecture as soon as possible, this marshal will not give the Ming army such a chance, so he ordered the large army, do not care about the small Ming army, speed up the pace of the march, and arrive at Haizhou Prefecture as soon as possible.
Under the pretext of looking at the dispatch of the team transporting grain and grass, Lu Wenhuan left Ah Shu and headed towards the rear.
Wiping the sweat drops from his forehead, Lu Wenhuan's face also sank, and he found that he was completely wrong, it turned out that Ah Shu didn't think about carrying them at all, but completely used it.
Recalling that after the Battle of Xiangyang, since returning to the Dayuan Imperial Court, Lu Wenhuan and Lu Wende have not been completely trusted at all, let alone have any power, they exist as staff members, and what they do is to give advice and suggestions to Ah Shu, the commander of the Zhengnan Army, and the former sergeants under their command have also been incorporated into the new attached army, and the arrangement has been disrupted.
Whether it was the Battle of Ezhou, the Battle of Dingjiazhou, or even the battle of Lin'an City, Lu Wenhuan and Lu Wende could only make suggestions, and many times they didn't even know anything about the key arrangements.
What does this mean, it shows that the two of them are being used by Ah Shu, and people look down on you at all.
Lu Wenhuan felt pathetic, this is the treatment of the subordinate, think about his current situation, and then look at Xia Gui, who has died, I am afraid that there is no good ending for the subordination throughout the ages.
The team transporting grain and grass is dispatched to the middle of the army, it still takes a certain amount of time, the grain and grass are all transported by horse-drawn carriages, and some of the sergeants also need to carry the grain and grass on their backs, after all, the consumption of 100,000 troops is huge, and Haizhou was once controlled by the Ming army, and it is not a special reality to want to raise a large amount of grain and grass in this area, so this time the army set off from Lianshui County, carrying grain and grass that can last for a month.
Looking at the messy team transporting grain and grass that was assembling in front, Lu Wenhuan also didn't say anything, it was wise for him not to speak, if he spoke, he might be bored.
"What's wrong with you, slow down, is it possible that the army will have to wait for you all day...
Ah Shu's angry voice came, making the originally lazy sergeant's movements become faster.
Lu Wenhuan looked at Ah Shu, his old face was slightly red, he was originally entrusted by Ah Shu to supervise the sergeants who transported grain and grass to move faster, but unfortunately in the end Ah Shu personally arranged it.
Perhaps sensing that Lu Wenhuan's expression was a little embarrassed, Ah Shu looked at Lu Wenhuan and spoke.
"Master Lu, don't be careful, I'm reprimanding these sergeants, it's not good for you to say anything, I know."
If he had heard Ah Shu say this in the past, Lu Wenhuan must have been warm in his heart, but not necessarily now.
With a smile on his face, Lu Wenhuan opened his mouth with a fist at Ah Shu.
"I have just derelicted my duties, and I am willing to accept the punishment of the commander."
Looking at Lu Wenhuan with a sincere attitude, Ah Shu's heart suddenly felt a little more comfortable, no matter how capable Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan are, in front of him, they are not groveling, if you want to say that it is not necessary before, Lu Wende is the envoy of the two Huai systems of the Great Song Dynasty, Lu Wenhuan is the deputy envoy of Jingxi Road to pacify, and the prefect of Xiangyang Mansion are all powerful people.
People are so strange, no matter how good you are, no matter how beautiful you used to be, once you lose your power, you become nothing, and you have to be honest.
Ah Shu personally supervised, the speed of the sergeant was naturally much faster, less than half an hour, the team transporting grain and grass, arrived at the middle of the army, in order for the army to speed up the pace of the march, Ah Shu also made appropriate adjustments, even out part of the carriage, specifically responsible for dragging food, you must know that if the sergeant marches with grain and grass on his back, the speed can not be very fast.
In this process, all the cavalry scattered in the army has been gathered, including the Mongolian iron cavalry of less than 5,000 people.
Ah Shu decided to personally lead the 30,000 men and march at the front of the team, so that he could fully grasp all the situations at the first time, without listening to the reports of the officers, and at the same time in the face of many situations, he could also make decisions at the first time.
The scouts still haven't been sent, the army has just begun to march, Ah Shu doesn't want to delay too much time, and it is impossible for the scouts to detect a lot of situations at this time, not to mention that there are small groups of troops of the Ming army along the road, if the scouts bump into them, it may cause unnecessary losses.
When the army of 100,000 set out again, it had already been divided into two parts.
The 30,000 cavalry led by Ah Shu was at the front of the team, followed by 70,000 foot soldiers, and the team transporting grain and grass was in the middle of the foot team, and more sergeants helped transport grain and grass.
In fact, each sergeant carries part of the grain and grass, and most of the grain and grass that the sergeant is responsible for transporting is consumed in the process of attacking Haizhou City, so it is completely feasible to ask the team transporting grain and grass to speed up the pace of the march.
The 100,000-strong army set out again.
Ah Shu, who was at the front of the team, regained his calm demeanor, and Lu Wenhuan and the others who followed Ah Shu couldn't see too many expressions on their faces.
The pace of the march of the army was noticeably quickened, and not a single sergeant dared to disobey the orders of the commander and dare to be lazy in the process of marching.
