Chapter 283: Those Things About the Army
When the troops and horses were mobilized in Guanzhong, not only Zhang Lu of Hanzhong was secretly on guard, but also Li Dao of Sili, Liu Biao who was fighting Nanyang, and the Qiang, Di, and Xiongnu people in Xihe and Shangjun and other places also immediately raised their vigilance, and all of them were on strict alert.
When the deer graze, they are always on the lookout for the tigers.
With a ferocious wolf as a neighbor, the leopard must also be on guard.
From Lingju to Jincheng, from Jincheng to Liangzhou, and then from Liangzhou to Guanzhong.
Luo Zheng is like the strongest beast in a group of beasts, stubbornly surviving to the end, while the other beasts were either expelled from his territory or torn to pieces, and whoever is a neighbor with him will feel a lot of pressure.
This guy is so dangerous, every time he shows his fangs, someone is unlucky.
The frequent movement of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong could not arouse the vigilance of the surrounding princes.
Only this time, I don't know who will be unlucky.
It wasn't until the beginning of September that Luo Zheng's fierce general Yan Xing led 8,000 Hedong soldiers into Sanguan, and everyone suddenly realized.
It turned out that this time I was going to take Hanzhong for a knife, not to be unlucky.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Da Lu was shocked.
It was a real shock, Luo Zheng wanted to raise troops against Hanzhong, which he had never expected before.
The tiger and the leopard have been neighbors for many years and have always been peaceful.
But the tiger suddenly showed its fangs and wanted to eat the leopard, how could the leopard not be shocked.
Zhang Lu sent people to Zhang An in the starry night to ask why Luo Zheng wanted to use his sword soldiers in vain, and asked for peace in a low voice, while quickly mobilizing troops and horses, once Luo Zheng really wanted to invade Hanzhong on a large scale, he would send troops to meet the enemy as soon as possible.
Luo Zheng naturally wouldn't see the envoys from Hanzhong, and they were all handed over to Jia Xu to deal with.
In fact, the mobilization of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong is just an illusion, and how can the soldiers and horses stationed in various places move lightly at this time.
It's all daylight. Return at night, in order to confuse the various parties scattered in the pass and scouts.
In order to confuse the real with the false, the more than 10,000 soldiers who had not left Chang'an were pulled out and kept around. Let all parties and scouts see that the army in Guanzhong is gathering on the front line of Sanguan and Xianxi.
Even if there are still people who have doubts, Luo Zheng has just laid down Guanzhong. How could he enter the army in a big way, at this time, I had to suppress the doubts in my heart and wait for the situation to change. After all, Luo Zheng is aggressive, even if Guanzhong is not stable, it is not impossible to send troops to Hanzhong on a large scale, after all, Hanzhong is only a county.
The mobilization of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong even attracted the attention of Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang.
After all, Hanzhong is the gateway to Xichuan, if the situation changes. Liu Zhang can't pay attention if he wants to.
Although Zhang Lu is a little arrogant, compared with the aggressive Luo Zheng, he is one heaven and one underground.
The Xichuan Shi clan would rather let Zhang Lu block the gate, and no one would want to see Hanzhong occupied by Luo Zheng.
Letting a wild boar sleep outside the gate is more reassuring than a tiger blocking the gate.
By mid-September, no less than 20,000 troops had been assembled on the Xiegu and Sanguan lines.
Zhang Lu failed to make peace, so he had to mobilize troops and horses to meet the enemy, and ordered the general Yang Ren to lead an army of 8,000 and camp in Dingjun Mountain. Defend the official road from Sanguan to Hanzhong in the south, and re-order his brother Zhang Wei to lead 15,000 troops to guard Yangping Pass and choke the oblique road.
Meridian Ridge. On winding and rugged mountain roads.
Zhao Yun led 5,000 Hedong soldiers to stagger forward, stretching back and forth for several miles.
This is the 800-mile Qinling Mountains, from the Meridian Valley trail to Hanzhong, it is necessary to wind and rugged, the clouds and mist between the lofty mountains and deep ravines to travel more than 500 miles, in order to go around to Nanzheng, for an army, to take such a small road, it is definitely a severe test and a huge challenge, to face many very difficult problems.
Luo Zheng and Jia Xu only knew that there was such a path that could reach the hinterland. I didn't know how difficult it was to walk.
Such a decision was indeed made in a hasty manner.
After Zhao Yun led his army to the mountain road. Only then did I know that it was just a path walked by a woodcutter.
When crossing a deep ravine, there are cliffs on both sides. It is estimated that the monkeys will not be able to climb up.
When climbing the trail to the top of the mountain, there are large clouds and mist under your feet, which makes people feel like walking in the clouds, and the feet are a little floating, and some soldiers accidentally step on the air and fall off the cliff next to them, and the terrible screams are terrifying.
Everyone was beating drums in their hearts, secretly scolding their mother.
Such a road is simply not walked by people.
What's even worse is that in many places, the carriages and horses can't pass at all, Zhao Yun had to order the soldiers to open the way in front, and reluctantly transported the grain and grass over, at least more baggage, and decisively discarded them all.
If you don't lose these burdens, it will be difficult for the army to cross the meridian path and kill Nanzheng.
There was a steep slope in front, and the cart pulling the grain could not go up, and more than a dozen soldiers were pushing hard behind, but the wheels were stuck in a half-foot-deep ditch, and no matter how hard the buffalo and the soldiers pulled the cart, they could not go up.
"Let so-and-so come!"
Zhao Yun rushed over and hurriedly took a hand.
The soldiers perked up and immediately shouted, "One, two, three......"
Everyone exerted their strength at the same time, and Zhao Yun also struggled with his divine strength, and his arms were raised violently.
The heavy grain cart moved forward sharply, and the wheels finally broke away from the ditch.
The soldiers looked at Zhao Yun with some awe, this is the real fierce man.
General Xu Huang is also a fierce man, but it seems that he suffered a loss when he learned martial arts with General Yan Xing, and afterwards personally admitted that his martial arts were not as good as Yan Xing, but the fiercest in the Xiliang army was not Yan Xing.
The Hedong soldiers have long heard that now in the Xiliang army, the most fierce is Zhao Yun, who has been in Wuwei.
In addition to Zhao Yun, the next thing is Xu Chu, who commands the lord's personal soldiers.
As for the two generals, Zhang Liao and Yan Xing, it is said that the martial arts are indistinguishable between the two generals, but General Zhang Liao was defeated by General Xu Chu when he was under Lu Bu, so General Yan Xing should be slightly worse.
The Hedong soldiers only knew that General Xu Huang was a fierce man before, but when they took refuge in Luo Zheng, they knew that there were more fierce men in the Xiliang Army.
It seems that even under Dong Zhuo's subordinates back then, there were not so many fierce men in the Xiliang army.
The time for Hedong soldiers to take refuge is still short, although he is more determined than Xu Huang, and he feels that it is too cool to be a soldier under a lord like Luo Zheng, but after all, he is not a descendant of Luo Zheng, and he is still somewhat worried about being excluded.
This time it was not Xu Huang who led the lead. Hedong Bing was even more unsure.
"Head, did you say we were sent to death this time?"
Some Hedong soldiers looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. Just ask a military marquis next to him.
"Less nonsense!"
The military marquis shouted: "If you dare to spread rumors again, beware of Lao Tzu whipping you!" ”
The creep shrunk his neck. Qu said: "What the villain said in his heart, how dare he spread rumors." There are fewer things in the army that are excluded by people, otherwise why is it that we are Hedong soldiers instead of the Xiliang army who went to Hanzhong this time, and even the leader is not General Xu Huang, head tell me, isn't this worrying about General Xu Huang? ”
The marquis glared at him and asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”
The soldier said, "That's what the brothers say! ”
The military marquis's face was a little gloomy. He said in a deep voice: "Listen to Lao Tzu, in the future, I will talk nonsense again, if the lord wants to worry about General Xu Huang, can we let the Hedong soldiers guard Hongnong for a few months?" As for going out of Hanzhong this time, it is because the Xiliang army is stationed in various places and cannot leave for the time being, only our Hedong soldiers do not need to be stationed at the pass. As for not letting General Xu Huang lead the army, it's because General Xu Huang has been reused by the lord, and there are more important things to do, you don't have to fucking think about it! ”
The little soldier said, "Really? ”
The military marquis snorted coldly: "Nonsense. I can't lie to you! ”
The little soldier breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!" ”
Junhou eased his tone and said, "You listen to Lao Tzu." Since our Hedong soldiers have taken refuge in the lord, they will be brothers with the Xiliang army in the future, and they are all soldiers under the lord, so we can't be so clear, you know? ”
The little soldier didn't quite understand, but still nodded, "The villain knows." ”
The military marquis knew that he didn't understand when he looked at him, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
People's hearts are the most complicated, after the Hedong soldiers defected to Luo Zheng. Although he soon became reluctant, it was inevitable that he would have an instinctive defense against the Xiliang Army. Fear of being squeezed out by the Xiliang Army is a common disease of people.
Convergence between armies. It always takes time to complete.
Even the military marquis himself did not have such worries.
It's just that you can't say these words, otherwise it will only be bad.
Fortunately, at present, although the Xiliang Army has already formed an inherent system, there has not been a phenomenon of wantonly squeezing out and suppressing the Bingzhou Army and the Luoyang Army under Dong Zhuo's command back then.
The military marquis is a person who has come over, and when he was under Dong Zhuo, he was squeezed out and suppressed by the Xiliang Army.
After following Xu Huang to take refuge under Luo Zheng, although those Xiliang troops also drew circles, it was only a normal phenomenon in the army, and they were relatively friendly to their Hedong soldiers who took refuge.
Most of the exclusion among the armies comes from the top.
As long as the generals at the top are kind, the soldiers at the bottom are actually not a big problem.
The most feared thing is that the top-level generals with troops squeeze out each other, and the soldiers at the bottom have to form a group to deal with all kinds of pressure if they want to protect themselves.
Whether Xu Huang has been reused or not, he will not tell them.
The military marquis also made his own observations, and he did not find that the Western Liang Army was deliberately squeezing out the Hedong soldiers, so he always felt that General Xu Huang should not have been suppressed by the leaders of the Western Liang Army, so he was not too worried.
In this case, some words must not be said nonsense.
Originally, it was nothing, but if the people below talked too much, it would be a problem.
Moreover, the Xiliang army did not deliberately squeeze out the Hedong soldiers, if these soldiers under their command were to speculate wildly, sooner or later there would be big problems, and the military marquis felt that he had to find an opportunity to reprimand these guys and curb this kind of sign.
Speaking from the heart, it is still very good to be a soldier under Luo Zheng.
Not only were the brothers fed and clothed, but they were also able to pay a good monthly military salary.
This kind of treatment is exactly the same as that of the Xiliang Army, and the Hedong soldiers are not treated differently.
Even if he dies in battle in the future, his family can also receive a generous amount of blood, compared to when he was a soldier under Yang Feng, the treatment is really a heaven and an underground, in today's chaotic world, he should indeed be content.
Luo Zheng's reputation is not very good, but it is nothing to say about the soldiers who worked for him under his subordinates.
As long as the soldiers can eat meat, they will never let the soldiers drink soup.
As long as this is a soldier under Luo Zheng's command, he can feel it for a long time.
The Hedong soldiers have taken refuge in the past few months, and they naturally feel that the reason why some people are worried is that they don't have any opinions on Luo Zheng, the new lord, but just because they are afraid of being squeezed out by the Xiliang army.
And this kind of unfounded worry is also the most likely to cause contradictions.
The more the military marquis thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong, and when he finds an opportunity, he must beat these big-headed soldiers well.
Eunuchs are idle, this is definitely a way for mediocre people to worry about themselves and take trouble.
At this time, the person in front stopped, not knowing what had happened again.
The soldiers spread the word of mouth, and the soldiers in the back who were blocked on the mountain road soon knew what had happened.
It turned out that a big insect suddenly jumped out of the mountain in front of it and bit a soldier to death, and it was not until about a pillar of incense that the army returned to the road, and the people behind heard the news one after another.
The big worm was slaughtered by General Zhao Yun, and he could add a dish for dinner and eat tiger meat.
It's not much, but everyone has a share. (To be continued) R580
