Chapter 160 Selection and Planning

After nearly a month, the traces of the war near Yangren City have disappeared without a trace, and only the broken arrows and blades occasionally picked up by the urchins can prove that the great war that shook the world did happen.

Today's land of Henan has been covered by rolling wheat waves, and the endless plains are full of vitality.

It was dusk, and smoke was rising from near and far, creating a scene of peace and tranquility. The only thing that is a little incongruous is the shouting and cheering that comes from the campus in the east of the city.

In the past, when they heard the movements of the army, the people would have run as far as they could, but now, these voices will only reassure them, and the eyes that look at the school yard are full of satisfaction and expectation.

It was the Han army that was trained there, and it was the soldiers and horses under General Wang!

"Drink!"

In fact, at this time, the cāo training of the brigade had ended, and it was some people who volunteered to stay.

In the past, when it was time to eat, Wang Ze would definitely be the first. But recently, he has no enthusiasm for eating, he just feels full of strength, and there is a fire burning in his heart, and he can't wait to burst out in one go.

"Brother Wang, take a break."

"I'm not tired...... Wang Ze waved the giant oar in his hand intently, made one tactical move after another, rushed forward a few steps, and ran out in one breath before he stopped, turned his head and asked: "Brother Zhang, you say, when will we go north?" ”

"You asked again, today alone, you've asked thirty-two times." Zhang Xiao replied with a smile: "I'm not a general, how can I know about this kind of military aircraft incident?" ”

"Eh......" Wang Ze sighed in disappointment: "That day, the general clearly said that he was going to take the big guy home, why wasn't he in a hurry at all?" ”

"Didn't your mother and sister find them? Why are you in a hurry? ”

Wang Ze scratched the back of his head, thought for a while, and then came up with a reason: "I, isn't this anxious for the general?" ”

Soldiers of the Northern Army and the Western Garden Army like him, whose homes were all near Luoyang, would not be willing to attack the camps on both flanks if they were led by someone other than Xu Rong, because their families would probably be inside.

Most of the soldiers of the Northern Army have already joined their families, and according to the common sense of the art of war, this will make the soldiers lose the will to fight. Because the family is around, whenever something happens, everyone will protect their wives and become a mess of loose sand.

In fact, many soldiers were indeed very content with the status quo and had no intention of continuing to fight and advancing towards Luoyang.

Now the life is good, close to Yingchuan, Nanyang this land, the water network is longitudinal and horizontal, the land is fertile, the original landowner either ran away, or died, General Wang is benevolent and righteous, does not compete with the people, does not return to Luoyang, and lives here is also very good.

However, Wang Ze has a great will to fight, and as far as he knows, there are many people who are similar to him among his comrades. Every time he thought of that celebration ceremony, he imagined that he also stood on the high platform, accepted General Wang's commendation, and accepted the cheers of tens of thousands of people, and the fire in his heart almost melted his whole person.

The moment that had not yet happened made him dreamy and leisurely.

He believed that the moment would come, because he was not afraid of being hurt or dying, and he was still very strong, a veteran who had experienced dozens of big battles and countless skirmishes!

Isn't it only a matter of time before a strong soldier like himself wins the honor under the command of an invincible commander?

"You......" Zhang Xiao smiled and shook her head, as if she saw her former self.

Before meeting General Xu, joining Momen, and finding his faith, he was similar to Wang Ze, and after meeting Juzi, his mood was as excited as his comrades.

Belonging, Glory, Hope......

This is what brings about change, it may seem ethereal, but these things are enough to turn a person upside down, turn the cowardly into the brave, and make the brave fearless.

Wang Yu's purpose could not be concealed from Zhang Xiao, because when Xu Rong was developing believers in the army, he also used similar methods. The methods are different, and the purpose is not the same, but the principle is the same.

By bringing together the soldiers and their families, General Wang wanted to screen out those soldiers with the strongest will to fight and the most honorable ones. And then what?

Build a strong army? That's for sure. However, in addition to this, there must be other considerations, otherwise, there is no old and weak in the army, so why bother to screen in one move?

General Wang really had no intention of marching into Luoyang or even continuing to attack Guanzhong, but he didn't know what his idea was when he was stationed here.

Zhang Xiao didn't plan to tell his peers about these speculations, as doing so would likely affect his companion's mood and make him lose from this screening. Let's let him hold back this fire, there will be a chance to release it sooner or later, right?

As for General Wang's intentions...... He has accepted the Juzi Order, which is the new Juzi of Momen, and although he will not strictly abide by all the rules of Momen, the jīng god of the Mojia family will still be reflected in his actions.

As long as you believe in it and follow it, you can just follow it when you followed General Xu.

……

In the military tent.

"My lord, up to now, there are more than 3,000 soldiers who meet the requirements, all of whom have a strong sense of honor and dare to fight...... Among the soldiers of Hanoi County, there are also more than 1,000 people who meet the conditions, and although others also have a sense of belonging to our army, they will still be shaken if they leave their hometowns and go to other places. ”

After listening to Yu Ban's report, Wang Yu was very satisfied: "Well, this ratio is not bad, more than I imagined." ”

The composition of the Luoyang Army led by Xu Rong is quite complicated.

Among the original garrisons in Luoyang, the Northern Army and the West Garden Army were the main body. The Northern Army is the most traditional forbidden army, but the number is not much, only 5,000 people, in the first year of Zhongping in order to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Han Court has gathered more than 40,000 soldiers and horses around the Han Dynasty, all under the Northern Army, with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun as the main generals, attacking the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan and Nanyang.

Subsequently, some of these new armies became one with the Northern Army, and some joined other military systems with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's southern expedition to the north, and the specific number of the Luoyang Northern Army also became ambiguous.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, in order to divide the military power of the general He Jin, Emperor Ling recruited troops in Luoyang Xiyuan and established another forbidden army, namely the Xiyuan Army. This army was commanded by the eunuch Jian Shuo, and there were a total of eight captains, including Yuan Shao and Cao Cāo.

The Xiyuan Army did not meet Emperor Ling's expectations, except for Jian Shuo himself, the other captains were all heart-to-heart, and then colluded with He Jin. In the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants after the death of Emperor Ling, the Xiyuan Army collapsed, and the remnants were merged into the Northern Army.

In addition to the Luoyang army, there was also a part of the army from Yongzhou, and these people came with Huangfu Song.

Most of the Chinese people are adhering to the concept of inseparable homeland. It was very simple for Wang Yu to take the army into submission, but he had to take Luoyang as the foundation and control the court and the Son of Heaven in his hands, so that everyone could have a sense of belonging.

If once you have to travel far away, and the return date is far away, the morale of the army will easily be shaken.

Wang Yu likes Xiang Yu, but he doesn't plan to be embattled by others, this unstable factor must be eliminated in advance, so he screened it.

After this screening, he also had an unexpected gain, that is, he understood why Danyang Bing was so famous and so sought after by the princes of this era.

Danyang soldiers are fierce, dare to fight, and are not afraid of death, these are all advantages, but the soldiers in other places also have this kind of special xìng, such as Hanoi, Bingzhou, Hedong These places, the folk customs are also very strong.

What makes Danyang soldiers truly unique, and what overwhelms other soldiers in the world is that they don't love home.

For the Danyang of this era, that is, the generation of Xuancheng in Anhui Province in later generations, as long as the young people in this place are recruited and join the army, then they will completely leave their hometown behind and make the world their home, whether it is in Luoyang, or the west, or even the desert, their morale will not be shaken because of the fact that they miss their hometown.

When Li Ling went out of the fortress, he was surrounded and killed by more than 100,000 Hun cavalry in the desert, he led 5,000 soldiers to fight and retreat, and finally there were 400 people who retreated into the pass. At that time, he was in command of the Danyang soldiers.

It is precisely because of this that Tao Qian brought 2,000 soldiers, and said that if he gave it away, he would give it away. Changing the source of soldiers in other places, Lao Tao's approach is very irresponsible, but changing to Danyang soldiers is a sign of sincerity.

Wang Yu didn't expect the army to have such a special thing as Danyang soldiers, so it became the best choice to select some of them and then take them and their families away.

Jia Xu reminded from the side: "Lord, four thousand people and their families...... I'm afraid the team on the return trip will be very large, the route, and the consumption on the way, have you considered it? ”

Wang Yu groaned: "I can't go to Yuzhou this time, it's completely messed up there, and the distance is also long, so it's better to choose the most direct route." ”

"The supply on the way is also a problem," Jia Xu said: "Our army has won the battle, and it seems that the scenery is infinite, but in fact, it has run out of food, and you should try to do it as soon as possible." ”

As he spoke, he pursed his lips, revealing a hint of disdain: "There is more and more sand mixed in the grain sent by the highway general, this is still our army standing still, if you wave the army north, I'm afraid it will ......"

"That's a problem, indeed." Wang Yu sighed.

Yuan Shu is not as bad as he says in the novel, but he, or the Yuan valve behind him, is the kind of person who has to share hardships but cannot share wealth and prosperity.

Now, the other party's intention to drag his feet is obvious, that is, he is not impulsive, and he has other plans, otherwise, he will be like Sun Jian in history, stupidly rushing into Luoyang, and then finding that the next meal has not been settled, he will be dumbfounded.

Wang Yu complained a little depressedly: "Those people's movements are too slow, Dong Zhuo's psychological tolerance is too poor, Liu Biao is too sticky, only Yuan Highway is very active, this is really ......"

Jia Xu sneered: "Lord, are you sure you can get enough benefits from Liu Biao and Dong Zhuo?" These two people themselves are not simple, and the counselors around them are even more ......"

He knew Wang Yu's plan very well, it was a very complicated plan that involved a lot, and if it succeeded, it would be a big profit, and all the problems would be solved, but if there was a slight deviation, it would be a big trouble.

Wang Yu smiled slyly and said, "Isn't there still Mr. Wenhe?" Just Li Ru and Kuai Yue, how can they be your opponents? ”

Jia Xu's face turned white with a brush: "Isn't it?" So many things, you want me to deal with them all? Am I alone? ”

"Who made no one available now? You can't expect Gongming and Hansheng to play tricks and quarrel with others, right? Wang Yu spread his hands with a helpless expression: "I have to let Mr. Wenhe work hard." ”

Seeing that Jia Xu's face began to turn green, Wang Yu hurriedly added: "It's strange to say, my reputation should be very loud now, why don't there be famous celebrities to take refuge?" If there are a few, I can also help Mr. Wenhe share his worries. ”

Jia Xu sneered: "Lord, are you pretending to be confused to tease Xu?" Isn't it obvious why? ”

"Huh? For a reason? Wang Yu was surprised, and asked humbly: "Please Mr. Wenhe to solve my doubts." ”

"It's good to say, it's easy to say......" The fat man's eyes narrowed again, and a ray of jīng light flashed in it. (To be continued.)
