Chapter III Retirement Order

In the military tents, most of the sergeants have not yet gone to bed, Huo Yi led so many soldiers and horses to fight for the first time, although everyone has the first time, but this is the life and death of 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it has to be very heavy. The apprehensive Huo Yi cautiously inspected every military camp, always thinking of using the experience of later generations that he knew and did not know much to improve this army that he had high hopes for.

The difference between Huo Yi's men and horses and other soldiers and horses is not only in the clothing of the soldiers, but also in the configuration of various arms, which is often reflected in some details.

The summer is hot, and in these woody places in the south, fires are very likely to occur, so there is a pottery urn around each camp to store water in case of emergency. Each battalion must have a tent for every ten camps, which is specially used for excretion, and is far away from the tents of living and cooking, Huo Yi knows that in this era of cold weapons, non-combat attrition caused by health problems is undoubtedly very fatal.

The military tent of 10,000 people is undoubtedly very large, Huo Yi did not have the leisure to really inspect every boundary, and walked the military village in the southeast corner, Huo Yi was already extremely distressed. But I heard a rush of footsteps from far and near.

A group of guards immediately protected Huo Yi in the middle, but when they saw that it was Guan Xing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"General! I've found you, and there's emergency intelligence. "Guan Xing and Zhao Tong, at the moment, are also Huo Yi's military generals, Zhao Tong is on duty for a hundred days, and Guan Xing will be in charge at night.

"Oh! Let me see. Huo Yi took the paper scroll in Guan Xing's hand, but the mark on it was a special mark for the scouts under Huo Yi's command, Huo Yi was a little surprised, although as soon as he entered Wuling County, these scouts went south, and he went north to Linyuan, but he never thought that the efficiency of these scouts was so efficient, he tore open the paper scroll, and with the torch of the guards on his side, Huo Yi's brows gradually locked, and he couldn't help but say: "Xuete!" ”

Guan Xing watched from the sidelines, saw Huo Yi's face solemn, and said a word with unknown meaning, and couldn't help but say: "General! Something is wrong! ”

Huo Yi smiled helplessly, turned around and said, "Inform the generals that the big tent is assembled." ”

The more than ten guards immediately went to seven or eight, and Guan Xing led the guards who arrived later, escorting Huo Yi straight to the big tent.

All the generals had just fallen asleep, and there were heartless people like Huo Buyi, who had already fallen asleep early. When they heard the voice of the main general's personal guards outside, they all got up and hurried to the big tent, if it was not an urgent matter, how could they summon the generals in such a hurry?

All the generals gathered, and the generals in the big tent were still full of sleepiness, Huo Yi's face was pale, and he said coldly: "The lord sent a message, asking me to immediately collect my troops and return to Lingling." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the tent immediately froze, and Gao Jin was puzzled: "The last general is unknown, why do you want to withdraw troops?" Could it be that the Jiangdong Army is going to fight again? ”

Huo Yi shook his head: "The status of the lord Yun Jingzhou is embarrassing, if the use of troops in the short term cannot be effective, it will inevitably lead to the reaction of the Sun Cao family. ”

"The lord's concern is not unreasonable, general, the disaster of the Nanban is not a matter of my dynasty, since the beginning of the former Han Dynasty, the Nanban has been a border trouble, our army is only more than 10,000 people, how can we pacify the barbarians? If you attract the barbarians to fight evil, I am afraid that it will turbulent the Jingzhou defense line! Dong Yun was calm and said slowly.

"Hugh Zhao's words are reasonable, general, this matter still needs to be discussed, if it affects the overall situation, the general is afraid that it will leave a bad impression on the lord! It is detrimental to the lord's trust in the general! Cen Yun was thinking about Huo Yi's position in the power everywhere.

"The last general doesn't think so, although the southern barbarians are numerous, but our army wants to be flat, only the Wuxi barbarians of Wuling County, this barbarian is good at fighting, and the education is uneven, Wuxi barbarians dominate the Wuxi tribes, and the barbarian king Moyun Leopard is not a kind person. This Wuxi is really a problem for our army's elbows and armpits, and if we don't get rid of it, it will be a big disaster sooner or later! ”

Huo Yi took a look, but he wanted to come to Zhao Tong, who was calm and taciturn, but Huo Yi was very surprised. Chong Zhao Tong nodded and motioned for Zhao Tong to continue.

Zhao Tong saw that Huo Yi seemed to affirm his thoughts, and continued: "The Southern Barbarians have been a disaster for hundreds of years, but they can only be protected by relying on the mountains and the official army. Moreover, the benevolence and righteousness of the son of heaven of my Han family, I can't bear to be punished, and every time this barbarian descends, he will stop and surrender, because this barbarian has already figured out the surname of the son of heaven of my Han family. When rebelling, it is a great disaster, and when it surrenders, it is tamed like a family dog. ”

Although the generals were surprised that Zhao Tong, who had always been silent, had such a violent side, they all took Zhao Tong's words as yes, nodded one after another, and discussed one after another.

The affirmation of the generals further encouraged Zhao Tong, Zhao Tong's face was slightly red, and he was obviously very excited: "The former Han Dynasty was barbaric, and they were all surrendered and rebelled, and the disaster was not wiped out from the root. The last time the general heard the general's policy, the barbarians were moved out of the deep mountains in the south of Wuling County, moved to the land of the Han people, taught the method of farming, taught their etiquette in the Han dialect, and gave them the name of the Han family. ”

Huo Yi heard this, but he was very excited, he never thought that in his previous life, Zhao Tong, who had been guarding his father's mausoleum, actually had such a knowledge, such a talent was actually buried, it was a pity, surnamed Suo, in this life, he found him out of the corner of history early and took him by his side.

Huo Yi nodded: "What General Zhao said is very popular with me, but what the lord is worried about is whether our army can win this battle, to be precise, whether it can win quickly!" The previous army discussed the strategy of pacifying the barbarians, and had already agreed on a strategy to pacify the southern barbarians, if the strategy was feasible, it could sweep away the barbarians, but what I was worried about was ......"

"Didn't the general look down on us but the newly trained army, and deliberately used the lord's words to provoke us? The last general is not talented, dare to be the vanguard, and he will pull out the ancestral grave of the barbarian army! The most violent of the five generals under the Huo Yi family said immediately.

"Come on, Boyuan, this vanguard officer must be mine! The five armies compete with each other, and I am the first to come out! Gao Jin was not convinced.

Together, the remaining three couldn't help it, and they all got up to be this pioneer officer.

"Young master, it's useless for others to rob again, our Huo family's army has always been my Huo Buyi in front of the head, and the head of the family has always been like this when he was alive, this time you can't discount the young master, no one can fight for this vanguard officer, or I have to come to my old Huo!" Huo Buyi was a faceless and skinless goods, and he actually put down the shelves of his elders and jumped out to compete with a few juniors.

Seeing that this big tent was suspected of being turned into a vegetable market, Huo Yi took a military case and said coldly: "The military discipline of the Han Dynasty, raising his voice and laughing, defying the forbidden contract, and rushing through the military gate, this is called a light army, and the offender will be beheaded." Uncle Buyi, this is still what you taught me, don't you do it, you have to rebel against this military discipline first? ”

Huo Yi's loud shout immediately shocked the generals in the tent, and the generals had to be silent and sit back quietly behind the case.

"General, Yun still thinks it's inappropriate, in the final analysis, our army is an army under the command of the lord, if you don't respect the order, I'm afraid there will be a big disaster! The general has not forgotten the side of the lord, and there are few poisonous people who love to agitate their lips and tongues! Dong Yun did not shy away from it, but in fact, there were no outsiders in this account, and when it came to talking, he did not have so many scruples.

Huo Yi frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly stood up: "Yi is the governor of Jingnan, it can be said that he is not conscientious, and now he is leading the army here, and he has no size to transfer the army back just because of an edict, but this is not my Huo Yi's style." Our army has been exploring the barbarian army for a long time, and we have long known the depth of the barbarian army, the resourcefulness is sufficient, the military strength is at its peak, and the lord is thousands of miles away, how can we know the current situation? I'm afraid I'm just being bewitched by the villain's words. This is a momentum of momentum, Sun Tzu said, 'There is no way, there is no attack on the city, there is no way to help the land, and there is no need for the king's order'! All the kings and each return to the camp, the sky will be bright, and the armies will move forward, and the goal will be the county! ”

"Whoa!" All the generals in the tent were ordered to leave.

Dong Yun didn't leave, still standing in the tent, Huo Yi was surprised: "Why didn't Xiu Zhao go, but what are you doing here?" ”

"General! Yun Shang has something to say, but there are many people in the account, so it is inconvenient to say more! Dong Yun said.

Huo Yi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately smiled and said: "Senior brother doesn't have to be so polite, you and I should be commensurate with senior brothers." ”

Dong Yun's heart warmed, and he said slowly: "Shao Xian is still too sharp, Yi Yun seems that he still has to deal with the lord's order tactfully, so he might as well buy this messenger and only let him return to himself When the message arrives, the general is already on the way to crusade against the barbarians, and it is enough to deal with it." ”

Huo Yi's heart was even warmer, it turned out that this Dong Yun was thinking about his status in front of the lord like this.

Huo Yi shook his head and said, "Xiu Zhao hasn't seen it clearly, why did the lord's messenger come so quickly, doesn't Xiu Zhao understand?" ”

Dong Yun was shocked and looked at Huo Yi in surprise.

Huo Yi nodded: "I decided to send troops to fight against the Nanban, and the leader has come here, but it has been more than twenty days, and it has not been more than a month, and the messenger of the lord can come here before my soldier Kou Nanban, there are only two possible reasons." ”

Dong Yun continued: "There is a person with the lord on the side of the general, and as soon as this person sprouts such an idea, he immediately sends a message to the lord, and he can quickly send orders here with the messenger of the lord; Or, someone in Jingnan has been monitoring our every move, and the most likely is your political enemy. In this way, it is possible for the lord to know the actions of our army in the shortest possible time. ”

"Xiu Zhao, resourceful, Huo Yi admires!"

"Shaoxian, but he wants to praise me, if the lord places someone next to Shaoxian, it is really chilling." Dong Yun said with emotion. (To be continued.) )
