Chapter Seventy-Seven: Buying People's Hearts

Xu Huang listened to Liu Jin's words and was overjoyed. A kind of plot of the death of a confidant suddenly emerged in Xu Huang's heart.

You must know that as an absolute newcomer, he was appreciated by the master just by virtue of his fate, and he was also a fledgling newcomer, which was undoubtedly lucky for Xu Huang.

"The last general, Xu Huang, meet the lord. The lord knows the grace of the encounter, Huang has nothing to repay, and is willing to carry the whip and stirrup for the lord and sweep away the thieves", Xu Huang deeply felt Liu Jin's kindness, and knelt down on one knee and said.

"What! Just let Xu Huang worship himself as the master? Liu Jin also felt like pie in the sky, immediately smiled, and said: "Gongming doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly, please get up quickly", Liu Jin got off the war horse and helped Xu Huang up with his own hands.

Xu Huang also got up, because of Zhang Liao's recommendation, Xu Huang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Liu Jin's name for himself, and immediately said: "Thank you."

After appeasing Xu Huang, Liu Jin said to Zhang Liao again: "Wenyuan, as you said in your letter yesterday, you have raised a carriage for the army, I don't know how this matter has been done?" ”。

"Returning to the lord, Liao Yan ordered the county order of Yang County to raise quickly, and more than 100 carriages and more than 300 mules and horses have been raised." Zhang Liao thought about it for a while, and said in a firm tone.

"Lord, there are more than fifty catties of shields in the hands of the people in the camp, plus armor weighing thirty catties, just these more than 100 carriages, I'm afraid it's still not enough" Gao Shun frowned after listening to Zhang Liao's words.

Even Zhang Liao didn't expect that the subordinates of his new colleague would carry more than eighty pounds each. Such a weight may not be able to withstand even a centurion-level officer.

"This" Zhang Liao couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

It was Liu Jin, after a quick mental calculation, and said with a smile: "General Gao, you see if this will work." Remove all the shields of all the trapped soldiers, and each mule and horse carry two shields. Although mules and horses are not as good as war horses, they should be able to bear the weight of 100 catties."

After a pause, seeing that Gao Shun did not refute, Liu Jin said again: "Then take off all the armor of the soldiers in the trapped camp and hand them over to the carriage for temporary transportation." It doesn't matter if the speed of the march is temporarily affected, we can send people to Pingyang and Xiangling counties to raise money, so that we should be able to raise enough wagons this evening."

Pingyang and Xiangling are the two county towns under the rule of Hedong County, and they are also the only way for Liu Jin's army to advance north, and they are not very far from Yang County. With the speed of the Yanmen Iron Horse, it only takes two or three hours to arrive, if you ride alone, you can reach Pingyang in more than half an hour, and one and a half hours is enough to reach Xiangling.

"Lord, this method is feasible, with the speed of our Yanmen Iron Cavalry, one and a half hours is enough to reach Xiangling, if the army is in a hurry, we can reach Xiangling this evening." As a native of Hedong County, Xu Huang has the most right to speak.

When everyone saw Xu Huang say this, they also felt that it was feasible, so they didn't say anything to refute it.

Seeing that everyone had acquiesced, Liu Jin immediately decided: "Wen Yuan quickly ordered the carriages and horses to prepare, and as soon as the camp arrived, he would immediately implement this law." In addition, there must be no mistake in sending capable men, holding the general's order, to Pingyang and Xiangling to raise chariots and horses! ”。

Seeing this, the generals immediately said in unison: "No."

As Liu Jin's order was handed down, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang immediately led the Yanmen Iron Cavalry back to Yang County, and the rest of the men and horses escorted the captives to Yang County.

For a time, the sound of people shouting and neighing horses resounded in the sky, the galloping of war horses, and the cries of captives were endless.

After a short rest in Yang County, Liu Jin's army handed over the prisoners to the Yang County Commander, and the army rode lightly, and soon after that, the army arrived in Pingyang.

After replenishing more than 30 carriages and more than 100 mules and horses in Pingyang, he galloped to Xiangling. Since the trapped camp had all removed its armor and shields at this time, the marching speed was extremely fast.

"General Gao, can the sons and daughters of the camp still get used to riding and walking?" , Liu Jin was a little worried that the foot soldiers who were trapped in the camp would be very unaccustomed to riding horses for the first time.

But he didn't want to, but Liu Jin's words happened to Gao Shun's heart, so he heard Gao Shun say with sorrow: "Don't hide it from the lord, although this method is good, but the last general is full of foot soldiers, and he has never ridden a war horse, let alone such a fast marching speed, I am afraid that in a few days, all the sons and daughters will be caused by the bumps of the war horse, resulting in a rapid decline in combat power!" ”。

Gao Shun's words are also what Liu Jin is most worried about. After all, the trapping camp has never touched a war horse, let alone ridden it.

"Then General Gao has a good plan to prevent this from happening?" , Liu Jin asked with a frown.

Shaking his head, Gao Shun didn't speak, obviously there was no good way. This made Liu Jin anxious, and scolded in his heart: "Liu Jin, Liu Jin, you are really a fool." I just wanted to speed up the march, but I didn't think of this stubble."

"This is not the most important thing, if you ride a horse for a long time, the inside of your legs and the belly of the war horse will definitely rub constantly, and the flesh will definitely be blurred when the time comes. Once this comes true, let alone going to the battlefield, it would be good for the soldiers trapped in the camp to stand firm", Gao Shun thought about it, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

"My lord, we can wrap the brothers in the camp with a few layers of linen, so that this situation should be avoided!" Gao Shun said this, and Zhang Hu next to him reminded him in a timely manner.

Not to mention, it might be a real solution.

A word woke up the person in the dream, Liu Jin slapped his head and said to Gao Shun: "General Gao, is it feasible for Zhang Hu to say this?" ”。

Gao Shun was already thinking about the feasibility of this method when Zhang Hu said this. When Liu Jin asked himself, he still didn't come up with a reason. I had to say, "For now, this may be the best way."

There is a way that the inch is long, and the ruler is short. How did Gao Shun know that Liu Jin used this method when he was training in Yanmen Pass. It's just that Liu Jin was worried about the siege of the Yellow Turban Army during this time, and the matter of Lu Bu and Wang Yue, so he didn't think of this method.

Now as soon as Zhang Hu reminded him, Liu Jin also came to his senses and said to Zhang Hu beside him: "Huzi, you rush to Xiangling immediately and order Xiangling County to immediately raise a large amount of linen, at least to ensure the amount of linen for at least three days."

Zhang Hu agreed, took Liu Jin's arrow, and galloped away.

"My lord, if this law cannot be enforced, please allow the last general to lead the camp and then rush to Xindu." Gao Shun was still a little worried, after all, for Gao Shun, the seven hundred sons who fell into the camp were all selected and trained by himself. Rather than let them lose their combat power in the long journey, it is better to arrive at the battlefield slower.

Liu Jin nodded and did not speak. He can understand Gao Shun's mood, and he Liu Jin also has this mood. What was his purpose in drawing the trap? It's not that he has taken a fancy to the combat effectiveness of the trapped camp and Gao Shun, a training general, if the trapped camp loses its combat effectiveness, it may become the biggest crisis in the Battle of Xindu.

And if it is because of this incident that Gao Shun has a dislike with himself, so that he deviates from morality, it will be more than worth the loss. Thinking of this, Liu Jin became more and more helpless, and he really wanted to slap himself twice.

After a period of silence, Liu Jin finally let go of his knot and said to Gao Shun: "Brother Gao, after arriving in Xiangling, immediately order the brothers who are trapped in the camp to check it, and if they find that their thighs are red and swollen, don't ride horses." While the outcome of the war is important, the lives of the brethren are even more important."

Looking at Liu Jin's sincere expression, Gao Shun was also moved. There is nothing more than a general who loves his subordinates, and Gao Shun is more overwhelmed.

"Don't worry, as long as you can still hold on, Shun will definitely not drag down the army," Gao Shun said firmly.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and more than fifty miles came in an instant. But in this short period of more than an hour, the seven hundred strong men trapped in the camp felt as if a century had passed, and their thighs seemed to be filled with lead, and it was as if they had been knocked out of their bones, and they were numb and painful.

"Brother Gao, the military situation is like fire, but the brothers who are trapped in the camp can no longer hold on, you can rest in Xiangling for one night, and after the brothers recover, then set off to catch up with the army!" , Liu Jin looked at the soldiers who were trapped in the camp because of the pain, and his face was a little hideous, and his heart stabbed in his heart.

Nodding silently, Gao Shun said with an unusually solemn expression: "Don't worry, Shun will definitely arrive in Xindu as soon as possible, what the lord's army flag points to is my Gao Shun's goal!" Gao Shun said, kneeling on one knee and not getting up for a long time.

"Brother Gao doesn't have to be like this, you and my brother are like-minded when they work together, and there is no need to make this big gift", Liu Jin wanted to help Gao Shun, but Gao Shun didn't get up.

"The lord treats his relatives like brothers, and he is grateful. In the past, Shun thought that the lord was a villain who bullied more and few, but today he knows that the lord is careless, and the heart of the country and the people is unreachable! Gao Shun remembered his opinion of Liu Jin a few days ago, and felt very guilty.

Liu Jin also knew what Gao Shun was referring to, smiled bitterly, carried his arms with a thousand catties, lifted Gao Shun up from the ground, stared at Gao Shun, and said word by word: "I, Liu Jin, am not a hero, but as a member of the Han Dynasty and a member of the Han family, I should seek the well-being of the people of the world, this is what a seven-foot man should do."

It was only at this time that Gao Shun felt how big the gap between himself and Liu Jin was. Maybe his trapped camp can withstand the charge of the Yanmen Iron Cavalry, but Liu Jin's ambition, even if Liu Jin dies, will still not be extinguished.

At this point, this historically loyal and rigorous general completely fell at the feet of Liu Jin, allowing the years to pass and time to turn. Whether Liu Jin is frustrated or frustrated, Gao Shun will always follow Liu Jin's footsteps closely and never leave (to be continued)
