Three hundred and eighty-eight times are good
On the official road in the south of Jiangyang City, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, and the trembling wooden planks seemed to be unable to withstand the trampling of the war horses at this moment, and let out bursts of moans, swaying gently, as if they were about to fall apart. He Qi rode a short Dian horse and rushed to the front, and Fei Zhan, who was following He Qi, couldn't help frowning, with a worried face.
He Qi's face was also gloomy and anxious, what he was worried about was not the plank road under the horse's hooves, but Jiangyang City not far away, the city gate under the tall city wall, when they were about to rush to the city gate, it had not yet opened. Could it be that Shamoke and Deng Tao were discovered by the Shu army and had an accident?
The arrow was ready to be sent and had to be sent, even if they were discovered, but they had rushed to the front of the pass, and He Qi obviously had no time to change his mind. But looking at the human head hanging from the war horse under his crotch, He Qi was very determined. Five days ago, Wang Hong's army left Jiangyang City and went south, and after walking only thirty miles, it was ambushed by Wu's army, and more than 2,000 people, including Wang Hong, were not spared, and they became the battle of Wu's army. It is expected that there are only 1,000 people in the city, and his army of more than 20,000 can be taken no matter how much he can.
The Wu army marched all the way north to here, and it was really difficult to pass the war horses between the mountains and mountains, even if they were good at climbing the mountains, they only brought more than 1,000 horses, but they were going to raid this time, and the raid was about speed, and the thunder hit with a blow, even if it missed, it could also turn back in time with the benefits of the war horse. Therefore, Heqi gathered all the horses of the whole army and used them for the surprise attack. It's just that the barbarians and the Yue people are not good at horses, and the only pseudo-cavalry that can be used for surprise attacks is the Han sergeants in Heqi's headquarters.
He Qi's mood was extremely heavy at this time, seeing that the city gate that was getting closer and closer was still closed, without the slightest sign of opening, He Qi was in a panic for no reason, it didn't matter if he couldn't take Jiangyang City. There will be opportunities and ways in the future. But if Shamoke and Deng Tao's intentions were discovered by the Shu army, then they were only afraid that there would be less bad luck, and they were accompanied by twenty brothers, who had traveled thousands of miles from Jingzhou with him, and he really didn't want to hear the news of the death of these brothers. This is not to mention the identity of Shamoke, the barbarian throne of Emperor Wu is the same as the title of the county king, the general of Pingnan, and the most important thing is that the Wuxi barbarian army only listens to him. Even Deng Tao is also an old lieutenant from his personal guard, and he has been fighting in Tiannan for decades. He Qi didn't want them to have any differences.
But the reason in his mind calmed him down. Although he was sad in his heart, the lives of the more than a thousand soldiers behind him were obviously also very important, if Shamoke and the others failed in their mission, then the strategy of attacking Jiangyang would have to be canceled, and the army should immediately turn around and join the remaining soldiers and horses. Prepare to storm Gangyang City. At this time, the survival of the army is at stake, and no step can go wrong.
Seeing that he was close to the range of the enemy army on the city wall. He Qi's heart was like ashes. He was about to swing his spear and turn his horse's head when the unthinkable happened, and the gates of the city, which had been closed, suddenly opened without warning.
He Qi was overjoyed and then shocked in his heart, and for a while he didn't figure out whether Shamoke and them succeeded, or whether the Shu army would plan it. But the opportunity was in front of him, and he couldn't hesitate at all, He Qi secretly gritted his teeth and involuntarily clenched the long lance in his hand. He glanced back at the soldiers with different faces, and shouted, "Kill it!" ”
The city gate was opened, and more than 1,000 cavalry drove straight into the city in one go, and at this time, the Shu army besieging Li Hu and others couldn't care about a few Youyong in front of them, and turned around and wanted to control the city gate again, but it was easy to invite guests and difficult to send guests. Cavalry is rarely seen in the southern part of Yizhou, let alone cavalry above the size.
The three hundred soldiers at the south gate of Jiangyang City had almost no experience in dealing with cavalry, although the horses of the Wu army were small but they were cavalry after all, and the impact was still there, and a charge almost rushed the Shu army into a panic. In the end, the cavalry restrained the light infantry, and the rest of the battle was nothing more than slaughter.
"How is it, Lord Junma!!" Li Hu covered his abdomen with his left hand, pointed the sword in his right hand directly at Xue Rong, and asked with a hideous face, "What kind of death do you want!? ”
Xue Rong didn't have a single guard by his side at this time, because they all died under Li Hu's knife, and they were in bliss. Xue Rong was also added several openings by Wu Jun, and the hot blood gushed outward, and when it fell to the ground, it was a burst of hot mist. "Who the hell do you dare to attack the official army, you rebellious ministers and thieves must not die well!!"
"Who!? I forgot to introduce myself, General Wu Pingnan, the king of Wuxi, and Sha, the king of Wuxi??? Rub???? Axe handle! So, you still die for the lonely king!!! "Li Hu, it's not Shamoke who said viciously.

Fancheng, the general of the right army division, that is, the front of Jingyu Yong, is now the superintendent of the capital. At this time, the simple room was brightly lit, the windows were covered with snow, and several charcoal fires in the house fixed the temperature in the room at 10 degrees Celsius, a comfortable temperature.
The originally closed room was suddenly opened, a cool breeze mixed with a few snowflakes drifted in, and the lights swayed, Lu Xun tightened the mink robe he was wearing, looked at the person who came and shook the snow on his body, and smiled: "Yifeng, come and sit by the fire, this is warm!" ”
"!!"
Zhu Ran's not long beard was dyed white at this time, and when he arrived at the stove, he turned into water, making it sticky and very uncomfortable, but Zhu Ran obviously didn't care about this, drank all the warm wine handed over by Lu Xun, smashed his mouth with satisfaction, and said: "Thanks to the blessing of this heavy snow, the mountain roads are difficult to travel, and the official roads are also very snowy, so the Han army can only hold on to it after capturing Wuguan, and cannot go south." The Han army from Hanzhong also retreated due to the lack of food, and in general, the war is still beneficial to us."
"Can't say that!!" Lu Xun was not as optimistic as Zhu Ran, shook his head and sighed: "The Han water is frozen, and according to the report from the people below, it is already possible to run a horse." All of our sailors are trapped in the harbor, unable to move, and have lost the advantage of the navy, and the governor is worried! ”
Zhu Ran heard the song and knew what it meant, and added: "The governor of the capital is worried that the Han army will cross the river to attack the three counties of Shangyong? Ma Chao has withdrawn, and the three counties of Shangyong will not be a big problem if they are garrisoned by General Ling Tong and General Chen Wu, even if the Han army crosses the river, the soldiers and horses that can be sent are limited, and it is a little difficult to take the three counties. Rest assured!! It's the general's strange soldier, and there is no news so far, so I'm worried about ???"
"No news is the best news. Isn't it!? "Lu Xun is not worried about He Qi, this one has deeper qualifications than him, and this kind of battle of raiding thousands of miles has not been fought before, and it is simply a fool's dream to annihilate them with the troops left behind in Shuzhong.
"That's right, at least it proves that General Hou is still fighting in Shu. I don't know how good the Han army in Shu can be!? Zhu Ran pouted and smiled.
It's not that Lu Xun and Zhu Ran look down on the local soldiers in Yizhou, but that they are too weak. As early as the era when Liu Yan became the ruler of Yizhou. I can't look down on these Yizhou soldiers, and even Liu Yan's main force is all Dongzhou soldiers composed of refugees from Guanlong and Shu. On the other hand, in the several battles of suppressing the rebellion in Shuzhong and Liu Biao's battles, the combat effectiveness shown by the local soldiers in Yizhou is really difficult to compliment.
When Liu Bei entered Shu, the Yizhou soldiers were almost a fan of the wind, and the few times of resistance were also the main ones of the Dongzhou soldiers. It was the late Wu Dasi Nong Liu Zhang, who shook his head when he mentioned the Yizhou soldiers, even after Liu Bei entered Shu. Yizhou soldiers are mostly trained. But compared to the elite of the Wu army that has been through a hundred battles, whether it is morale, training, bloodiness or equipment, it is a big difference, plus the total strength of Shuzhong is only 40,000, of which the most elite 20,000 are still in Jiangzhou and other important places in Shu, and the combat power of the Shu army in the heart, hey! Don't mention it!

Lujiang. Wancheng. The weather in Huainan is warmer than in Xiangfan, but this winter is particularly cold, and even Wancheng has a light snowfall. However, the training ground left by Qiao Ren in Wancheng in the past was a hot scene, and five thousand soldiers were wielding knives here.
Qiao Xun stood on the high platform in military uniform. Gao Shen shouted: "Now that the military order is announced, Wang Changshi has worked hard. ”
Wang Xiang, the new chief of Lujiang, took the silk book in Qiao Xun's hand and shouted loudly: "The action in the army is to take the drum flag as the march." The drum is strict, and the foot knights are all dressed; Again, ride on a horse, step knotted; The three links, with the second out, refer to the flag. After the dwellers set up the flags, they heard the sound of the drums, and the scouts looked at the wide and narrow terrain, and set up tables from the four corners, which was suitable for the battle array. The people of the various tribes, each of them have a sparse number of soldiers, and the soldiers are white. It's better to cut the order. If a soldier wants to form a formation against the enemy's camp, he should first show it in vain, but lead the troops to the battle. There is no joy in the battle, listen to the sound of drums, the front of the flag, the back of the front, the left of the left, the right of the right. He didn't listen to the order, and he was good at cutting off the front and back. If there is one in the army who does not enter, the captain will kill him; If there is a person who does not enter, even the chief will kill him; If there is a person who does not enter, the tun chief will kill him. The commander of the war department, the commander of the school, drew the blade behind, and those who did not enter the order were beheaded. One part is attacked by the enemy, and the rest are cut off if they do not enter the rescue. The crossbow of the soldier must not leave the battle. Leaving the battle, Wu Changshi did not raise his hair, and he was guilty of the same crime. Without the general's order, those who act in vain will be beheaded. Before the battle, the cavalry should be at both ends of the army; The front is trapped, the formation is second, and the ranger is behind. Two hundred lashes for disobedience. The soldiers advance, and those who retreat into the formation are killed. If the foot rider and the thief fight, temporarily see the terrain, then want to make the rider alone into the thief, hear the sound of three drums, ride from both ends of the battle, depending on the commander, hear the three golden sounds. This is also said to be a solo war. Its foot and cavalry battles, advance and retreat freely. The officers slashed at the horsemen who rode in formation. The officials have a vain shout, and those who shout loudly will be beheaded. The thief shall not be left alone in front of the back, and the offender shall be fined four taels. Soldiers and generals are not allowed to take cattle and horses and clothing, and those who violate the order are beheaded. When entering the battle, the soldiers follow their own numbers. Those who do not follow the number will not be rewarded for their merits. When entering the war, the rear soldiers go out in the front, and the front soldiers are in the back, although the merit is not rewarded. In the battle, the Yamen general rode to supervise the order, all the departments supervised the generals, and the wartime school supervised the troops, supervised the battle, and inspected those who violated the order and were cowardly. The mouth is anxious, after hearing the sound of thunder and drums, the six tones are strict, and the white can be distinguished. Flee and behead. One day, the family members are arrested, and they do not speak to the officials, and they are all guilty of the same crime. ”
Although the words are long and tongue-twisting, the five thousand soldiers in the audience can also understand a general idea, even if they don't understand these multiple chopped words, they can be cautious. These 5,000 people were all soldiers recruited by Qiao Xun among the children of the Zhongliang family in Lujiang County and the free people of neighboring counties, and the source of soldiers in Lujiang could also rank in the top five in the late Han Dynasty, especially the foot soldiers were considered first-class.
And Qiao Xun obviously wants to train these 5,000 soldiers into an elite soldier, and the leading system of Wu State is only a little limited now, but it cannot be abolished, so in the future, Qiao Xun can also take over one or two of the 10,000 soldiers left behind by Qiao Ren's death.
No matter if he is not a son-in-law, how many soldiers can attack the leader, he doesn't want Qiao Sheng to be at least Jiuqing and Hanyang Duke in the future (the title of Wu Guo is downgraded to one rank per generation, unless it is a hereditary replacement), and Qiao Ren left at least seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses can attack the leader. And Qiao Xun is still much more miserable, don't look at his uncle Dai Gang's countless soldiers and horses, but the elite with names and surnames such as Xiaoguo Army and Ghost Face Rider are Qiao Ren's private soldiers, and Dai Gang himself only has 3,000 parts, Dai Gang's sons are not enough, where can he take care of him.
"Military order, if there is disrespect, kill it!!" Qiao Xun glanced at several captains in the audience with cold eyes, and finally raised his voice: "All the soldiers, wearing double leather armor, climbed over this earthen wall, and then shot three arrows. If you miss a mistake, you will go around the city three times. Those who are all in the middle of the three arrows, eat mutton tonight!! ”
"!!"
Seeing that the soldiers were dragged to training by their respective captains, Wang Xiang walked over with a slight stagger, and said softly: "Fujun, you have not been a general so far, so it is inconvenient for you to ask the king or the left rider (Dai Gang) to give you a general order?" ”
"Huh! Han's wife has already asked the fifth uncle to come out, and His Majesty's appointment will come down soon, don't worry, sir!! ”
It was also a happy event, originally Qiao Xun brought Sun Luban with him when he came to Lujiang, but when Shu Han's army turned his face and suppressed Wuguan, Sun Luban of Wancheng was sick. That day, when Doctor Dan took Sun Luban's pulse and said that happy pulse, Qiao Xun was so excited that he was about to cry.
Qiao Xun got married at the age of eighteen, and it has been five or six years, although he adheres to Qiao Ren's teachings that he cannot have a round house before the age of twenty, but Qiao Xun is now twenty-four or five, which is about to enter middle age in the Han Dynasty, but Sun Luban's stomach has not moved at all, which can be very bad for Sun Shangxiang and Qiao Xun's biological mother Dai Lan.
Even Qiao Xun, who said that he was not in a hurry, was not in a good mood, seeing that Sun Shao's eldest son Sun Fengdu was ten years old, and Sun Song's eldest son Sun Yang was fourteen years old, as Qiao Ren's eldest son, he couldn't say anything! It wasn't until that day that Qiao Xun breathed a sigh of relief. Since Sun Luban was three months pregnant, Qiao Xun sent her back to Jianye to give birth in order to deliver in the future. By the way, he also went to blow the wind to Sun Lang, and asked Sun Lang to come forward to ask Qiao Xun for a martial arts.
Although Sun Lang, the king of Yue, is now an idle position, he is also an imperial uncle, and he is the official residence of Zong Zhengqing, and the emperor will only treat him as a job for Sun Luban's husband, and will not increase his jealousy of Qiao Ren. After all, in addition to Qiao Feng, only Qiao Xun has the lowest official position, and then Sun Lang comes forward to find an official position, and he can also close his mouth.
These Wang Xiang also understood, so he nodded secretly, appreciating Qiao Xun's caution, but asked in his mouth: "I don't know, what kind of position does the county lord plan to ask His Royal Highness King Yue!? ”
This sentence should not have been asked, but Sun Luban's personality is perverse and arrogant, Wang Xiang is afraid that she will not be good, so she will open her mouth and ask for a too high position, which will cause criticism in vain.
"This!!" Qiao Xun was also very worried when he heard this, but thinking of his wife's wisdom and promise before leaving, Qiao Xun stabilized his mind and said: "Wife Han is about to ask for a position of general or partial general!! ”
Qiao Xun thought to himself that George had been promoted to General Fubo, and it was only right for him to lead a partial general!! But he didn't expect that what Sun Luban asked him for was not a partial general or a general on the seventh rank, but a general on the fifth rank. (To be continued......)
