Yuanzhou is located at the northern foot of Liupan Mountain on the Loess Plateau, and the Qingshui River flows through it. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This place has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. There are "the left control of the five plains, the right with the Lanhui, the yellow stream around the north, Kongtong blocking the south, according to the shoulders of the eight counties, the key to the three towns", "back to the middle of the road risk, Xiaoguan Fengwei more", many explanations, can witness its terrain is critical.

That's why Yuan Zai took Yuanju as the center and designed a defense line to defend against the Tibetans in the west and the Uighurs in the north. It's a pity that Yuanzhou was finally taken away by the Tubo, and the Tang Dynasty has only recovered it so far. And this defensive line was realized in the Ming Dynasty, and this place was also one of the nine border towns of the Ming Dynasty.

'What kind of weather is it now, and I actually have winter clothes.' Wei Da complained, "Don't complain, it's better to have hair than not to wear it at the time", Chu took a brand-new leather jacket in the second-hand, and gestured on his body.

This leather jacket looks really good, the outside is short curly, and I don't know what it is stuffed inside, the inside is sewn cloth, the middle feels very elastic, it feels very dense and thick, and it must be very warm when worn on the body. Yes, he was satisfied.

It was the best winter coat he had ever worn in his life. As the second son in the family, he often had to pick up his brother's old clothes to wear.

It's not second-hand, it's third-handed. Even his eldest brother may be an old clothes that have been eliminated by others, and when they reach him, they all look even more shabby. He cherished the new winter coat and put it away. He probably also knew why the imperial court was in a hurry to distribute winter clothes, because the climate here was very cool.

When I first came to Yuanzhou, I felt very comfortable, only a small number of people vomited and diarrhea, and they were not accustomed to the water and soil, so they were poured some tea by the military doctor.

There is no sultry heat in Chang'an, the summer feels very cool, even in the autumn, I don't feel significantly colder, I used to think that the more north the colder, Yuanzhou is really a treasure land.

However, then the climate was different. Because of the lack of rainfall here in autumn, bathing is controlled, which is also okay, although after entering the army, I was required to take a bath every day, and I got used to it, but when I arrived in Wonju, I didn't take a bath for two or three days, and there was no discomfort.

The most important thing is that the temperature difference between morning and evening is too large, and the weather has not yet set, and the weather has begun to get colder, so that many soldiers from Shu have fallen ill because they do not adapt to the climate. It is no wonder that the imperial court will issue winter clothes, because I heard that they will soon be pulling out and going west to find the Tubo people to start a war. It will definitely be colder by then.

"Don't look at it, everyone is the same, there are sizes that are too big to trade, otherwise wear it like this, and go to dinner after receiving it." ", shouted the captain of their team.

Wei Da immediately ran away, and had to eat every day, which was the time he was most looking forward to, basically he must be full, after coming to Yuanzhou, their training increased, and the food also improved a lot, "If I don't eat enough every day, I'm afraid I want to be a deserter." Wei Da reached out and grabbed a canned meat, and she squeaked and ate it.

Don't get me wrong, Li Chen didn't get out the modern kind of luncheon meat, he only researched canned food. Actually, it's not complicated, it's just that he didn't think of it at once. Not tinplate cans like the modern one, but clay pots.

Put the food into the clay pot, heat it with water, seal the mouth of the can with a wooden stopper while it is hot, and when it cools down, you can isolate the air, in addition to the wooden stopper, you should also apply wax around the mouth of the can, so as to ensure that the air is completely isolated, and the food can be stored for a long time.

With this thing, the food of the Shence Army is much richer, and many things that are not tolerant can be made into canned food, a piece of fresh meat is boiled, put into the can, and can be stored for half a year. Of course, in order to preserve it for a longer period of time, most of the meat is processed meat.

The large number of southern routes has made the price of Datang spices drop a lot, making it possible to marinate meat with spices, and it is no longer just salted meat. Basically, the meat has been processed in this way, and it can be stored for a year without sealing.

'Spoken, spoken. After lunch, during the break, the soldiers had to gather in twos and threes, and at this time, many people entered the field, dressed the same as ordinary soldiers, but without armor. As soon as he saw this group of people, Wei Da jumped up, pulled Chu Er and ran over to the battle position, seeing that the people were almost gathered, the inner and outer three layers surrounded the people, the man took out the chapter bench, sat down, and began to speak.

Today, let's talk about the former Sui famous general, Zhang Xutuo. Its human nature is strong and courageous, and it is the pillar stone of the Sui Dynasty. The man shook his head and said. This is what the army is saying.

You can think of him as Li Chen's instructor, mainly to promote the concept of loyalty and patriotism to these soldiers through constant storytelling. It is all the stories of loyal ministers and famous generals, and through their loyalty, it has a subtle effect.

For this reason, Li Chen put a lot of effort into it. Don't just tell a story, if you say too much of the same thing, it will make people disgusted, listen to it, listen to it for a long time, you will get used to it, and then the effect will be weak. It's like a military education film in the early years, it's all those things that are filmed and filmed, and I'm tired of watching it for a long time.

Of course, Li Chen knows this effect, basically there are many kinds of content, like the Three Kingdoms, it is also a good demonstration, by promoting the legitimacy of Shu Han and spitting on Cao Pide's usurpation, to achieve the desired effect. The Three Kingdoms are wonderful, and after listening to them two or three times, they won't get tired. In addition, there are also things like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, which were also taken out.

Can this also promote loyalty and patriotism? Of course. The original version of Liang Zhu can't promote any loyalty and patriotism. Li Lichen made a fanversion, ostensibly telling an absurd love story, but in fact, he preached that the country should be stable, and if it wants to be stable, it must be loyal to the country and calm down external troubles.

The front is almost the same, studying together, Liang Shanbo is looked down upon, and Zhu Yingtai is forced to marry Ma Wencai. But in the end, it was not a butterfly or anything, but on the eve of Zhu Yingtai's wedding, because of the invasion of foreign enemies, the Zhu family fled, Liang Shanbo threw his pen from Rong, and finally pacified the war and became a general, and finally the two had lovers and finally became married. Anyway, in this era, no one will complain that he changed a classic love story too bloody.

Such a variety of plots ensures that they can be listened to for years without repeating. In this way, the tension of the soldiers can be relaxed, and secondly, the loyalty of the soldiers can be increased, and the battle examples of the Three Kingdoms can increase the experience of the soldiers. It is also difficult to guarantee that these recruits will not produce a general or anything in the future.

The storyteller has to be set up, which is unprecedented in Datang, and many people are very opposed to it, thinking that it is useless. What is the point of telling a story to a soldier and teaching him to read? As long as a soldier is brave in battle and can obey military orders, it is good.

Moreover, some of these speakers came out of the nursing home, some landed scholars who put pen to paper in order to make a living, and some were originally speakers, so they couldn't be too picky because they wanted to be literate. The source is so complex, how to ensure that no people with ulterior motives are involved. Therefore, the ministers are generally opposed.

But Li Chen came from later generations, of course, he knew that this kind of similar instructor had to exist and how effective it was, so he tried his best to override public opinion and first test it in the Shence Left Army, and if the effect was good in the future, it would be extended to the whole army.

This kind of right, which does not have the same as the instructors of later generations, can play a great role in checking and balancing. What is the use of not being able to interfere in military affairs?

Their existence, in addition to teaching people to read, tell stories, let soldiers have more entertainment, and by the way, brainwashing. The most important thing is a kind of military supervision. Li Chen didn't want the situation of the eunuch serving as the supervisor to continue to appear, whether it was in the way or not, Li Chen was afraid that this would give the eunuch a chance to take charge of the army, and if the eunuch's power revived, it would be troublesome

Sending this kind of person, who is not the same as a soldier, who is not the same as a soldier, who is rich and prosperous, and whose family and relatives are all in the hands of the emperor, can be regarded as pouring sand into the army. At least let those who want to do bad things not dare to be too rampant. It can also play a role in deterring at critical moments, such as when you want to chase the commander and rebel.

While the soldiers were resting and listening to the news, the officers were in a meeting, 'Today, winter clothes have arrived, and supplies are complete. Gao Biao first reported, "The grain and grass are also stored for a month, and our army can go to war at any time." ’

'What is the state of training for soldiers?' On the first seat, Xiaohu asked in a deep voice, and the commanders of several armies got up one after another to report on their training status. In general, expectations have been met.

Xiaohu nodded, the situation was better than they expected, and the revenge of Tubo did not follow with the surrender of several states, giving them plenty of time to train.

Although it has been less than a year since the recruits joined the army. However, the left army of Shence was well nourished, and the grain and grass kept up, and this training was also very different, which was very different from the traditional Tang army, and it was already very diligent in the past to drill every three days and every five days. Even when the government soldiers, it is great to be idle in winter, and they gather together to train for a while. In comparison, they train like this every day, and one year can be worth the results of the previous three years.

After coming to Yuanzhou, he practiced even harder. Not to mention the recruits, those veterans were also badly trained. However, in order to maintain the face of veterans, those veterans who have been in the army for a long time often put on a disapproving appearance.

More training is full of tricks, what is fully armed, and the helmet and armor are forced to march for a few days, which is already nothing. The two sides confronted, but one side had to fight against an enemy who was several times larger than its own, and even the equipment was not complete, it was simply beaten by the side that was overwhelmed.

Think that's the end of it? These are all trivial, training during the day is already very tiring, but at night they do not let them go, often in the middle of the night to assemble urgently, simulating the enemy's night attack.

It is trivial to be kicked awake by the commander, and what is even more excessive is to sleep well, but in the middle of the night he blew the enemy attack trumpet, and before he could react, he was beaten by a random stick. The one who beats the person is the one who is abused like a dog during the day. Don't expect mercy from them.

This is not over, I was made all night without sleep, and the next day I had to march forcefully, which was even more torturous, and both sides took out the strength to eat.

Because one side was beaten last night, and during the day, it became the pursuer, ready to take revenge. And he was beaten to take revenge, and of course he had to use the strength to eat milk to escape. This kind of bird incident has happened more than once, and many people have even practiced the ability to sleep while walking.

You can even eat and sleep while walking. It's even more powerful, someone saw him, eating and sleeping while walking, and scolding people in his dreams, although the tone was vague and completely inaudible, but from the perspective of attitude, it was definitely scolding. As for who to scold ... This should go without saying.

Thinking of having to practice so strongly, Xiaohu nodded with satisfaction, he could send troops, "Tomorrow, the whole army will be fully equipped." Target, will state. ’

The next day, yesterday's difficult rest for a day was carried out by the left army, and it was opened. Their goal was Hoiju, which was hundreds of miles away from the city of Wonju.

This is a city on the edge of the Yellow River, the jurisdiction spans both sides of the Yellow River, here is the northern section of the Silk Road, it is also a traffic rush, surrounded by mountains, only here is easier to walk. The Ming Dynasty set up a steep castle here as a stronghold to defend the north.

Such a city seems to be very ordinary. Such a border city, there is not a small number here, the only special thing is that the name of this city, I don't know what mistakes have been made, it has always been changed back and forth.

The Western Wei Dynasty placed Huizhou here, and then the Zhou Dynasty was abolished, and then placed Huizhou in Mingsha. In the second year of Wude, Ningjun was changed to Xihuizhou; Liangchuan County was changed to Huining County. In the sixth year of Zhenguan, it was changed again, and the Huizhou of Mingsha was abolished, and the western Huizhou was changed to Huizhou. In the fourth year of Kaiyuan, Liangchuan County was placed in the hometown of Zuli County, and the state was moved to this place.

It is said that people will be transferred when they change their names, and the name change of the city is probably the same, but obviously the people who changed their names did not care, and in the end, the city fell into the hands of the Tubo people. And today, just wait for the left army of Shence to let him return to the Tang Dynasty. On the day when the left army of Shence set off, there was also a force of men and horses in action.

'Report, our army could not resist, and the left flank had been routed. A rider rushed to a banner under which many people were gathered, including guards and generals. The most conspicuous is a man wearing a robe with tiger skin lapels on the left side, with tiger skin studded with tiger skin on the cuffs and bottom edges, and a silk cloud-shouldered shirt.

'Thoroughly. Everyone's eyes looked at this obviously the leader, he gritted his teeth and spit out a word, he couldn't imagine that he was still defeated, or he was defeated by him several times.

'Order, front and rear of the army. The rear army becomes the front army, thoroughly. Several messengers received the order and ran to the four directions to give the order, "Jiebao, where are we going?" "Go to Guazhou first, our army's food and grass are not enough, go to the west of Guazhou to eat first, Jiebao is so long that the eagle's eyes release a cold light, a small setback does not matter, preserve strength, and have a chance to make a comeback."

'Report, Jiebao, our army has won a great victory, the enemy army has been defeated, and the vanguard is in pursuit. On the other hand, on the other side, on Kong Re was reported to laugh, defeated so many times, today finally won back a city, and let out a sigh of resentment, "But you can get that traitor." ’

'There is no news from the striker at the moment. On Kong Re patted his sparse brain, eighty percent of them retreated, Tubo Maduo, it is not easy to catch any nobles, he himself has lost to Shang Wanwen many times, and he has not been taken by him.

'In what direction did the enemy go?' ''Newspaper, go west.'' ''Okay. On Kongre's eyes lit up, "You can run, but your family can't run." Sons, let's harvest. When they heard this, they all shouted and cheered. (To be continued.) )
