Chapter 44: Selecting Troops Before the Battle of Karasuma
Liu Yan was shocked when he heard Liu Zhang's words: "My son, do you want to start a war with the Karasuma people? ”
"Father, it's not that I want to go to war with the Karasuma people, but I need to fight for the merits of the Karasuma people." Liu Zhang smiled: "If I hadn't met the teacher in Youzhou, I would have asked Huang Zhong and Yan Yan to cut those bastards of Karasuma two years ago!" Now that I've been arrogant for two more years, it's time to collect interest. Huo Quzhi is not my idol, but my goal to surpass! ”
"This..." Liu Yan looked at Liu Zhang very surprised, he didn't know where Liu Zhang got so much confidence. You must know that in the face of foreign clans, even the veteran generals of the current dynasty are very afraid, otherwise Karasuma would have been wiped out with the strength of the Great Han. After all, Karasuma was not the Xiongnu of the past, and they did not have the power of the Xiongnu.
"Father, why do you think so much of me?" Liu Zhang saw that Liu Yan's eyes were a little strange, and couldn't help asking, "Is there something dirty on my face?" ”
"Nope! It's just a wonder for the father, why are you so confident about defeating Karasuma! Liu Yan asked suspiciously: "In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, except for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, no one dares to say that he has taken the initiative to attack foreign clans!" Even those famous generals are all about defense! ”
"Father, it's not that Emperor Wu of Han has the ability, but that the family is useless!" Liu Zhang snorted coldly: "Look at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing is a manu, and Huo Qubing is the son of a servant!" Everyone knows that heroes don't ask where they come from, but who can really do it? The border guards are all children of families, and they do not seek merit but no fault. It is better to expect these people to fight hard and defeat the foreigners, than to expect the heavens to send down the thunder and kill those foreigners! This time I attack Karasuma, I will eliminate all the children of the family in the army. Since they are only here to gild, let them defend the city! ”
"This..."Liu Yan was shocked: "My son kicked out those children of the family, if they find trouble for you, what will you do?" ”
"Father, don't worry, if I can't even deal with this little thorn, what soldiers will I bring, what kind of battle will I fight!" Liu Zhang sneered: "I hope they cooperate with me, otherwise I will definitely not be polite." In the city, I can't deal with them, and it's very simple to go out of the city and find a random reason to kill someone! ”
"Good!" Liu Yan looked at Liu Zhang's grim expression and was very satisfied, if Liu Zhang was timid, he would be very disappointed. Liu Yan smiled: "Do what you want to do, and support you for your father!" ”
"Thank you, father!" After Liu Zhang saluted, he left the Taishou Mansion with Zhao Yun and the others, and walked straight to the Jixian school field.
On the school field of Jixian County, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan were training. Suddenly, a small school came to report that Liu Zhang had arrived, and they immediately went out to greet them. Liu Zhang came to the big tent of the Chinese army in the big camp, sat down on the handsome seat and said, "I won't talk nonsense anymore!" From today onwards, all the troops in Jixian County will be taken over by me. Huang Zhong, you go and bring the troop roster, and I'll come tomorrow morning to order troops. Yan Yan, in the past five years, you have also learned a lot of my training methods, and you can recruit another 10,000 troops to train them in case of emergency! What's the problem, just say it! ”
"This..."Yan Yan and Huang Zhong looked at each other, they didn't know what Liu Zhang was doing. Yan Yan stood up and said: "Childe, it's easy to recruit and train soldiers, but I'm alone, how..."
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Don't worry, tomorrow I will send some people from 20,000 people to you, and you will train me a good army!" ”
"Yes!" Yan Yan was very excited, he could see that Liu Zhang wanted to distribute the 20,000 soldiers to his little brothers, so Huang Zhong was almost empty. But Yan Yan didn't know that it wasn't Huang Zhong who was set aside, but Liu Zhang's big move!
The next day, Liu Zhang came to the school early in the morning, and seeing that there were 20,000 people standing in the field, he jumped onto the high platform and shouted: "Soldiers, do you still know me?" ”
"Little boy! Little boy! The soldiers in the audience let out a tsunami-like shout. Maybe some of the new soldiers don't know Liu Zhang, but those veterans still remember Liu Zhang. It was this young man's training methods that allowed them to survive the previous wars against Karasuma. Although they don't understand the principles of running, standing, walking to the left, and walking to the right, it does not prevent them from respecting Liu Zhang.
Listening to the mountain shouts in the audience, Liu Zhang was very satisfied, and he said slowly: "Since everyone still remembers me, I won't talk nonsense!" After a while, I'm going to take you to fight Karasuma, maybe some of you won't be able to come back, maybe we'll fail, but I'll be with you, even if it's death, I'll die with you. Now, those who are willing to die with me, go to the left, and those who do not want to go with me, go to the right! Give you time to think about the tee drum, come on! Beat the drums! ”
Rumble... Rumble... Rumble...
The huge drum beat sounded on the school grounds, and the soldiers on the school field were already stunned. It was not until the end of the second drum that the 20,000 soldiers slowly separated. At no time did the Chinese lack warriors, let alone people who were not afraid of death. In addition to the children of the family who came to gild, most of the people who were willing to serve as soldiers were to eat and protect their families by the way. But in Youzhou, the people have a feud with foreign tribes such as Karasuma and the Xiongnu. Hearing that Liu Zhang was going to attack Karasuma, the children of the family slowly moved to the right, while the left side was full of soldiers.
After the three-way drum was finished, the left side of the school field was crowded with soldiers, and there were only a few hundred people on the right, which seemed lonely, but Liu Zhang wanted this effect. Most of the children of the family are unruly and do not even listen to orders. At the beginning of the training, some of the children of the family had a career. If it weren't for Liu Zhang's very strong strength, maybe these 20,000 people would have been crippled by Karasuma! But now, Liu Zhang wants to take these people to play with his life, and he must not be negligent, because Liu Zhang can't afford to lose!
Looking at the soldiers separated on both sides of the school field, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Yan Yan, the people on the right will give you the grassroots level for military training, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Huang Xu, you each choose twenty songs, 4,000 people form a combat force, and the rest of the people are left to Shi A to be my guard!" Hansheng, as their manager, you are responsible for teaching them to train their troops! ”
"Yes!" Huang Zhong and the others knelt down to take the military order, and Yan Yan was about to cry!
Liu Zhang actually wants to use troops against Karasuma! Maybe others don't know how powerful Liu Zhang is, but Yan Yan has been by Liu Zhang's side for three years and knows him very well about his endless ghost ideas. If Liu Zhang is not sure to do something, he will not believe Yan Yan if he is killed. But now Liu Zhang actually kicked him out of the selection of candidates, what does this mean? You must know that fighting a war represents a war of exploits. If the war against Karasuma is won, the benefits will be immeasurable.
Yan Yanyi gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Liu Zhang and said, "I am willing to follow Gongzi to fight Karasuma, and I hope that Gongzi will not give up!" ”
Liu Zhang smiled: "Yan Yan! It's not that I won't take you there, but only you and Hansheng will train here, and in addition to Hansheng, only your prestige can serve the public, and defense is also a very important thing. In this Jixian county, there are not only people, but also my parents. Say, "If someone else guards the city, can I rest assured?" ”
"I..." Yan Yan knew that Liu Zhang was still struggling with the fact that he was not loyal at the beginning, but no one could have imagined that a five-year-old child would be able to reach such heights in only eight years! Challenging foreign clans, that is the career of a great man, even Huo Quai, the most famous general under the command of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, joined the army at the age of sixteen and became famous at the age of nineteen, but Liu Zhang is only thirteen years old this year, and the oldest brother brought by Liu Zhang is only nineteen years old! Although Yan Yan didn't believe it, he knew that if Liu Zhang's conquest of Karasuma was successful, these brothers of his would each be able to surpass Huo Quzhi!
Yan Yan knelt on the ground, regretting it in his heart. He regretted that he didn't serve Liu Zhang as a slave like Huang Zhong, otherwise there would definitely be one of them on the seat of today's expedition. Even if he fails, he has a small merit, and if he wins, he has a great merit. It's a sure-fire gamble, but now he doesn't even have the qualifications to join!
Looking at Yan Yan's ever-changing face, Liu Zhang understood that the beating was already in place, and he should give some sweetness. So Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Yan Yan! You don't have to be so discouraged, Karasuma is gone, there are still the Huns, the Huns are gone, and there are Nanban. And I'm not going to wipe out Karasuma in a fight, so there's more opportunities in the future. How about waiting for me to come back and then decide what happens next? Do you remember the first point I made when I taught you how to train your troops? Tell me, what is the vocation of a soldier? ”
"Obey orders!" Liu Zhang shouted, and Yan Yan roared out as if reflexively. Yan Yan looked at Liu Zhang, who was not tall in front of him, and suddenly felt that he could only have a better development if he was effectively loyal to him. Yan Yan roared: "The last general will obey the order of the lord!" ”
Seeing that Yan Yan was sincerely attached, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Since you understand, give me a good guard of Jixian County, if there is a problem in Jixian County..."
"The last general will come to see you!" From this moment on, Yan Yan finally stopped despising Liu Zhang, but regarded him as his master!
"Good!" Liu Zhang ordered: "Huang Zhong! Lead the troops for a month of intensive training, and be sure to let Zhang Fei and others integrate into the troops. A month later, we're ready to send troops to Karasuma! ”
A month passed quickly, and in fact, Liu Zhang didn't need to send troops, and the Karasuma people were about to call. Generally, after late autumn, before the middle of winter, the Karasuma people will come to Dahan to fight the grass valley, but the number of people who come and the tribe are unknown. But this time, the Karasuma people were out of luck, because a vicious guy had his eye on their heads.
There was no vast swearing-in scene, not even a pre-war mobilization. On the eve of a dark dawn, Liu Zhang set off with 20,000 troops, and no one knew where he had taken his people, let alone where he wanted to attack from. But whether it is Yan Yan or the children of the family who were cleared out of the team by Liu Zhang, they all believe that Liu Zhang will definitely create a miracle again. It's just that they didn't have the opportunity to participate, and they didn't even dare to participate. Wars, even battles that must be won, are to the death, and no one guarantees that they will survive in the chaos, they dare not gamble, and they do not want to gamble.
(The Wusha brothers really looked up to Qingfeng so much that they actually voted for four reminders, and Qingfeng could only fight hard.) If you can't eat it, you can only say that Qingfeng's typing speed is a little tangled! )
