Chapter Seventy-Four: Negotiations
Under Xun Yu's governance, Yanzhou's military and internal affairs were carried out in an orderly manner.
The food hoarded in Mozhou and Jiuli City was enough for the Eastern Expeditionary Army to eat for half a year, and among the major tribes, there were beacon towers and emergency corridors, which could transmit information in a timely manner.
The promulgation of various poverty alleviation and relief policies has made the people want, and there has been a trend of enthusiastic participation in the army in all tribes.
In the barracks, there are commanders of the army, even chiefs, centurions, and commanders, and then adjutant generals, commanders, all positions are determined by military merits, and the size of the management class is reduced to a few people, so that the army can be mobilized more quickly and it is convenient to pursue responsibility.
For Xun Yu, Jiang Feng is a hundred assured, after the establishment of the military camp position and various military regulations, the military and political affairs are handed over to Chu He, and the local internal affairs are all in charge of Xun Yu.
"Actually, I think that the division brigade, regiment, battalion, and company are more comfortable than the commander of the army, the commander of the hundred, and the commander of the thousand. ”
Jiang Feng was just thinking about it, after all, he was sitting on 100,000 people now, and if he personally dispatched all of them, he would have more than enough heart and not enough strength.
Taking advantage of the free time, Jiang Feng went to Long Yun's attic, and when the punishment of exposure was over, he wanted to go over to visit.
In the attic, Long Yun was lying on the bed, with Liuxia and Shuangyi on either side.
Lu Xia was busy feeding the medicine and couldn't take the time to salute, and when Shuang Yi saw Jiang Feng, she turned her head directly and deliberately pretended not to see it.
"What's the matter, are you so unwilling to see me?" Jiang Feng tugged at Shuangyi's ears and pulled her aside.
"Brother Jiang Feng, I also participated in the last incident, the wizard group was transferred to Sister Liuxia's camp by me, you can also punish me, let me also be exposed to the sun for three days and three nights. Shuang Yi pursed her lips, dissatisfied with Jiang Feng's face.
"I've seen Your Highness!" Lu Xia put the medicine bowl on the table and got up to salute Jiang Feng.
"You two have no official positions, so it doesn't matter how you make trouble? But Long Yun is the leader of the Longqiang tribe, and if she moves the arrow array to my city without authorization, it is a rebellion, and she should be punished by military regulations. ”
Jiang Feng put the tonic he brought aside, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Long Yun, are you better?"
"It's really a cat crying mouse fake mercy. Shuang Yi put her hands around her chest and glanced at Jiang Feng a few times angrily.
He gave the order of punishment in the first place.
"Shuangyi, don't say it, it's all my fault. Long Yun coughed lightly, straightened up and leaned against the head of the bed, "Lord Jiang Feng, I'm fine, just rest for a few days." ”
"After the injury recovers, come to me to lead the military power of the Dragon Qiang clan. ”
"Hmm, I heard me right, what do you mean by this? I rebelled, and you still dare to give me back the military power?" Long Yun frowned at her brother Dai, her face was embarrassed.
"Not a single arrow was fired, what kind of rebellion is this, don't put a high hat on yourself. ”
Jiang Feng waved his hand and looked at Liuxia meaningfully, "You were originally the prince and concubine, if you are canonized as the princess of Yanzhou, it will be lowering your status, and when we return to the Snow Moon Country, we will be canonized separately in Fengdu."
As for Song Zixuan, who you are worried about, I am just old friends with her, and on the night of the cave room, she was holding a dagger, and I didn't dare to touch her easily. ”
After Jiang Feng finished speaking, Lu Xia lightly stuck out the tip of his tongue and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, it's Luxia who is too worried. ”
"The military is busy, I have to deal with it, you two take care of Sister Long Yun, don't be angry with me anymore, I don't have this spare time to coax you. ”
After a short farewell, Jiang Feng returned to the palace, and Chu He was anxiously waiting in front of the door.
"Your Highness, the 30,000 elites of the Tiger Master have been trained, and the 50,000 recruits gathered by the major tribes have been handed over to Aloy to train in the Luofang Valley, and they will not be able to enter the battlefield in half a year at the earliest, and there are only more than ten days left before the beginning of spring, and the period of the army's march is close at hand. ”
"30,000 elites are enough, and the soldiers are not more than the fine, not to mention, we have excellent weapons, and we have the advantage of multi-arms joint operations. Jiang Feng bowed slightly, and continued: "Order the three armies, prepare to open to the mouth of the well." ”
At the beginning of spring, the snow and ice gradually melt, and in March, the grasslands will usher in the rainy season with abundant precipitation.
And the best time to send troops is in these three months, before the beginning of spring, the mountains are covered with ice and snow, the rainy season is coming, and the floods are flooded, which are not suitable for marching.
Outside Jiuli City, the altar rises again, according to the rules of Yanzhou, first kill sheep and cattle, drink their blood, and worship the gods.
After the sacrifice was completed, tens of thousands of Yanzhou tiger masters drove to the mouth of the well in turn.
In Jiuli City, only Xun Yu and Aloy were left to garrison, one was in charge of the regime, and the other was training the new army. The rest of the generals, including Shuangyi and Ryuxia, went out with the army.
"Fix it in situ, I'll go do some personal business. ”
Jiang Feng and Xiang Yu jumped into the deep mountains, which was once the place where the Yinxue Iron Cavalry died in battle.
"At the current level of 30, the soul control technique can manipulate thirty soul puppets at the same time. ”
Xiang Yu was vigilant, Jiang Feng cast spells on the spot, and the first to recover the souls of Hai Yunfan and Hailan were the first to recover, and then all the children and soldiers of his Hai clan were brought under his command.
A Yin Corps composed of thirty horsemen was established, and it only obeyed the orders of the host, Jiang Feng.
"Thirty cavalry, frontal charge is overkill, trained as a special force, mainly responsible for assassinating the enemy's commander. ”
Jiang Feng put their souls in the mailbox, which could be used to carry out top-secret missions if necessary.
After returning to the station, the army marched again, crossed the Jingchengkou in a mighty way, stepped through the Baili Qilian Snow Mountain, and encountered the first checkpoint of the Snow Moon Country-Tongguan.
The terrain is dangerous, the city is high and the walls are thick, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In order to block the barbarian cavalry, the empire built three barriers on the frontier, and Tongguan was just one of them.
"The master of Tongguan will leave the company, which is my old friend of my youth. ”
Chu He opened the map and said in detail: "Tongguan currently has 40,000 defenders, and this is only the first pass to Fengdu, there is no need to make a big move here, I personally went to lobby Lisi and let him open the city and surrender to Cheng." ”
"This is the best! Are you confident?" Jiang Feng frowned.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the two of us have been playing naked since childhood, even if the negotiation fails, he can't do anything to me. Chu He patted his chest, full of confidence.
The two horsemen followed behind Chu He, brought a greeting gift, and entered the territory of Tongguan along the rope.
Jiang Feng led the army and stationed twenty miles away.
After waiting for about four hours, there was no good news from Tongguan, but the soldiers on the city wall had obvious deployment.
"It is very likely that something happened to Chu He, Long Yun brought your Longqiang clan with me, Xu Chu led the shield array to be responsible for guarding, and Xiang Yu stayed in place. ”
The Longqiang clan built an arrow array half a mile outside the city, and this distance was outside the range of Tongguan Yu's arrows.
At the front of the arrow array, there were the shield soldiers of the Jiuli tribe, and the heavy shields were put together, blocking the line of sight in Tongguan, allowing the Longqiang tribe to pull the bow and string at will without vision.
