Chapter 13 Replenishment of the armies
Lu Meng sighed helplessly, and when he met Huo Yi, it seemed that this person had become his nemesis, and the Jiangdong Lu Meng who looked down on the world in the past no longer existed.
Huo Yi led the army to fight against Wulingman, he had already gotten the news, and he even asked the lord Sun Quan to send someone to Jingnan to communicate with Wuxi Man, in order to instigate Huo Yi's rear rebellion, and then he would gallop through Lingling with an elite division and capture Lingling with lightning speed, so that Huo Yi's long-standing Jingnan foundation could be destroyed.
However, since Lu Meng was seriously injured, he led the army to the edge of Lianshui, looking at the garrison of Xiangxiang on the other side, but he was hesitant, and now Huo Yi actually used lightning speed to destroy the Nanban, this "Huo" word flag was raised, but it was not only a heavy blow to Lu Meng personally, but also a deterrent to Jiangdong.
There was silence in the tent for a long time, and Lu Meng got up: "Generals, follow me out of the camp to have a look." ”
Gan Ning and other generals all got up and followed him out of the tent door, Lu Meng went straight out of the water village, across the vast soup and ripple water, and tried his best to look at the Jingnan army camp on the south bank, only to see a cluster of shadows, and the blood-colored banner was like a monster with teeth and claws, demonstrating to himself fiercely.
As if he had made some kind of decision, Lu Meng's left hand holding the hilt of the sword was obviously bruised. The generals were in a daze, but they heard a hoarse voice: "You think that if I retire from this army, when will my Jiangdong soldiers be able to climb the land of Lingling?" ”
Gan Ning is a bloody man, this famous warrior in Jiangdong, not tall, black and thin, but strong, as if there is no trace of fat on his body. His gaze is deep, and when he stares at people, his sharp eyes shine like ripples reflecting the sunlight at this moment, which makes people dare not despise it.
I only heard this man say coldly: "Did General Lu lose all his sharpness when he was defeated in the past?" If the general retires today, I am afraid that no one in Jiangdong will dare to climb the south bank of Lianshui again! ”
"Xingba! But don't use these words to provoke Ziming, Ziming, now that the war in Jingnan has been settled, Huo Yi's army has returned to help Lingling, and it is unwise to start a war with Huo Yi at this moment! Moreover, the Cao thieves in the north ignore Jiangdong, although our two families have suspicions, they are really dependent on each other, if the two armies are fighting endlessly, it is actually the relatives who are bitter and the enemy is fast! Do you want to unilaterally tear up the Xiangshui Alliance that the two parties have just signed? He Qilang said, his words are conclusive, but they are the best interpretation of the situation at this moment.
Lu Meng's left hand was slightly relaxed, obviously moved by He Qi's words.
Gan Ning was about to say something more, but suddenly someone grabbed his shoulder, Gan Ning looked back, it was Jiangdong general Song Qian, Song Qian was heavy-handed, he was a Jiangdong veteran-level general, and he was very senior, but Gan Ning was not good at saying anything, so he had to retreat.
Song Qian took a step forward and said slowly: "Ziming, I am ordered by the governor to lead the army here to help you, and the governor has not forgotten to ask me to tell you that the grudge between the two families of Sun and Liu should be resolved rather than settled, Ziming, if you really use force against Liu Bei, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the approval of the governor!" ”
In fact, Song Qian's words woke up Lu Meng, the governor of Jiangdong has always been recommended to take office, Zhou Yu recommended Lu Su, Lu Su is seriously ill, the biggest candidate for the next governor is undoubtedly himself, his military achievements and qualifications are all selected among the generals in Jiangdong, and the lord is also favored by himself. But once he is anti-Lu Su and insists on starting a war with Huo Yi, then he is likely to lose Lu Su's recommendation, so in the end, some gains outweigh the losses.
Lu Meng looked coldly at the Huo Yi camp on the other side, let out a breath of turbidity, and said hatefully: "If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you won't be able to recover Jingzhou in the future!" Zijing, you regret it! After that, he roared: "All the armies pack up and return to Hunan Province!" ”
"Whoa!" The generals responded to the voice, but He Qi and Song Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, Huo Yi just got up, galloping his horse for days, and almost let himself fall apart, but in the end, the daily routine is essential.
Just as Huo Yi was about to dance the sword road, he heard a guard report: "General, the Jiangdong Army on the other side has withdrawn!" ”
Huo Yi was in a good mood when he heard this, the sword in his hand immediately became faster, the sword light was hoarding, very amazing, the sword road that would take half an hour to complete on weekdays was over in a quarter of an hour, the sword was put back into the sheath, and said loudly: "Bo Yuan, since the Jiangdong army has withdrawn, the corpses of Chen Wu and the more than 60 Jiangdong soldiers have been collected, you bring some people and send them across the river, and say that the culprit who killed General Chen is the barbarian Moyun Leopard, and the thief chief has already given the head, let General Lu mourn!" ”
Zhao Tong is an honest man, but he thinks that the general is merciful to the Jiangdong soldiers who can't die and return to their hometown, which is a righteous act. At that moment, he answered the forehead, slowly withdrew, and ordered two hundred sergeants, protected the more than sixty corpses, and took two warships to the north.
Huo Yi's Jingnan two counties were already under great rule at this time, and the right was close to Jiangdong, but because of the "Xiangshui Alliance" just agreed, although there was little friction between the two armies, but they were also peaceful, and the elite Jingzhou army in the north faced the Cao army in the Xiangfan area, and they sent some grain and grass to Jiangling without incident, and even sent 40,000 of the 60,000 people who were trained into an army by Wuling to Guan Yu.
These Wuling barbarians are not the same rabble as in the past, and the transportation is not completed in a day, Huo Yi trained these barbarians in batches for three months, each batch of 10,000 people. During the day, he taught him about the joint training of the battle formation, and at night, he brainwashed him and educated him on the idea of loyalty to the king.
Huo Yi's technique is also very simple, strict military discipline plus full food and bright equipment. As for the ideological education, it is even more borrowed from the instructors and political commissars of later generations, and in these barbarian armies, every two hundred-man teams, there is a special general in charge of military discipline, and this tooth general is also in charge of the ideological activities of the sergeants, and at night it instills some loyal monarch thoughts, and even takes the families of these barbarians as the starting point, and does a lot of work.
By March, these barbarian troops were already quite elite on the surface. Then send it to Jiangling and hand it over to Guan Yu to listen to the tune, and it is even more obvious that among these barbarian armies, the Han army must be the backbone, and these barbarian armies can also be incorporated into Guan Yu's 30,000 Jingzhou army for a mixed barbarian army.
The individual courage of these barbarians is quite outstanding, and at this moment, they have been trained by Huo Yi and are familiar with the matter of battle formations, and Guan Yu is very happy. In the past half a year, the Jingzhou army has expanded to more than 80,000, not counting the 50,000 horses in the two counties of Huo Yiwuling and Lingling.
Huo Yi's Wuling and Lingling county management is even more peaceful, the first batch of officials promoted from the people are all born by examinations, less family in it, Huo Yi does not have to worry about the loyalty of these people, most of these scholars were born in the Han clan, most of them were incorporated into the army by Huo Yi, naturally, the role played by these people is Huo Yi's identity as an instructor in the barbarian army.
The reason why the Red Army in later generations was able to have terrifying combat effectiveness was largely due to the role of this role. An instructor can not only ensure the combat effectiveness of this army, but also improve the morale of this army.
Huo Yi swept away the barbarians in a thunderous manner, and collected more than 60,000 barbarian soldiers, but the lord Liu Bei was very rewarded, and promoted Huo Yi to be the general of Zhongjie and the governor of Jingnan. Under the account, Wang Chong was promoted to a general, and Deng Ai was promoted to a general.
The 20,000 barbarian troops left behind are the most outstanding people in personal strength that Huo Yi asked the generals to draw out from the barbarian youth, compared to Guan Yu's 40,000 barbarian army, these people are much more elite, Huo Yi reorganized these barbarian troops with his newly organized five battalions of men and horses and his old subordinates, and even rearranged the men and horses under his own hands, so that they no longer look so messy.
Huo Yi divided the soldiers and horses of Wuling and Lingling counties into five armies, and the soldiers of Wuling County became an army of their own, enriched by Lingling County soldiers, about 6,000 people, with Cen Yun as the commander of Sima of other departments, and Huo Buyi as his deputy.
In Lingling County, Huo Yi's pro-army and the new training scout battalion, and all the cavalry were an army, about 7,000 people. Directly under Huo Yi, the pro-army is headed by Zhao Tong as the camp Sima, and Guan Xing is the deputy; The scout battalion has Ye Bing as the former army Sima as the main one, and Shen Tuqiang as the deputy; The cavalry attacked, and Li He was the eagle to attack Sima Zhuzhi.
The newly formed five battalions of men and horses were an army, enriched by a mixture of barbarians, with about 15,000 people. Directly under Huo Yi, stationed near Quanling, the five battalion commanders are all Sima positions, and the candidates remain unchanged.
Near Guiyang County, Deng Ai was partially enriched with a barbarian army, with 10,000 people, and the general Deng Ai was in charge of the army, and Huo Liang was deputy.
Changsha in the north is an army, and it is also enriched by a barbarian army, totaling 12,000 people, with the partial general Wang Chong as the main and Wang He and Wang Ming as the deputies.
In this way, Huo Yi's Second Army in the middle of the road suppressed Lingling and Wuling, and responded in the center, and each army was stationed in four places, and the personnel options had been decided, but it was much more streamlined and effective than in the past.
Huo Yi looked at the deployment of the various armies under his command before the case, and his heart suddenly settled down a lot, now he is already firmly in the land of two counties, although the business is not impregnable, but it is very thick, and he already has the strength to make the world look sideways.
At this moment, Guan Gong launched an offensive against the Cao army in the north, and he was sure that he would not lose Jingzhou with the military strength in his hand, so that he would not make a joke of "carelessly losing Jingzhou" like in his previous life.
At this time, Huo Yi suddenly received a news that the lord was married, and Huo Yi, the general of Zhongjie and the governor of Jingnan, entered Sichuan to congratulate.
But forget it, Huo Yi is a little confused, in his own image, the lord's marriage to the Wu family was a year ago, why did it delay until now?
When Huo Yi was surprised, he got another order, ordering Huo Yi to lead 20,000 troops from Jingnan into Sichuan and go north to support the attack on Hanzhong.
Huo Yi's head was stunned, his most taboo at this time was to lead the army to leave Jingnan, one, Guan Gong's attack on Xiangfan was already a sure thing, he had already learned that Guan Gong had this intention when he delivered the last 10,000 barbarian troops to Jiangling the day before yesterday, and he left at this time, although the strength of the Jingzhou armies was also unprecedentedly strong, but it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accidents.
Second, the sergeants under his command are trained by themselves, if they go to Hanzhong, the lord wants 20,000 troops to stay in Hanzhong forever, how should he respond? (To be continued.)
