After crossing the Yellow River, the mood of all the soldiers was obviously a little different from their mood in Henan, to be exact, they were a little nervous.

On the one hand, it is because, before crossing the Yellow River, it was also in Henan, and he had not left the hometown of these soldiers. But after crossing the Yellow River, these soldiers felt a little uprooted in their hearts. Especially at that time, some people had never left their hometown in their lives, so this feeling of confusion and nervousness after leaving their hometown was particularly strong.

Another reason is that Wu Shigong's Qinwang army has already set foot on the land of Beizhili. And now the Houjin army is also wreaking havoc in Beizhili. Although the two sides are located in the north and the north, the distance should be said to be quite far. However, because they are all in the province of Beizhili, in the hearts of these soldiers, they feel that the distance between the two sides is very close.

Not to mention those soldiers, even the officers and officers starting from Wu Shigong were also very nervous. They were afraid that they would suddenly encounter such a Tartar army. Therefore, all of them are careful.

Wu Shigong's Qinwang army was already in a state of complete combat. Wu Shigong not only dispatched a part of the cavalry to strengthen Zhang Biao and Li Sanhe's reconnaissance squadron, but also asked the spies to go out in small teams to investigate the enemy's situation. And during the march and camp, the soldiers were always on alert.

Wu Shigong's marching speed has been put to the slowest level. I only walk about 20 miles every day. And these distances, at most, two hours of marching.

For the rest of the day, Wu Shigong completely let the soldiers set up camp. Every time he set up camp, Wu Shigong always dug a deep trench around his camp. Then build a large camp fence behind the trench.

Not only that, Wu Shigong also built an inner camp fence inside. In the open space between the two camp fences, Wu Shigong's Qinwang army dug up traps and horse traps with sharp bamboo sticks at the bottom.

Then, Wu Shigong's Qinwang army dug another trench behind the fence of the inner camp, and behind this trench, a circle was formed with carts. And in the circle of this cart, it is the tent where the army of King Wu Shigong and King Qin is really housed.

In addition, all trees within 200 paces of the camp were cut down, and braziers were placed at a distance of 100 paces from the camp to prevent enemy attacks at night. In addition, there is no need to talk about open whistles, dark whistles and traveling whistles.

It can be said that with the sophisticated firearms in Wu Shigong's hands, if the number of the Houjin army is not more than 10,000, it will definitely not be able to gnaw Wu Shigong's well-defended battalion.

However, there is a downside to this type of camping. Because Wu Shigong's camp only had a limited number of roads that could be passed by the army, in case of an enemy attack, Wu Shigong's Qinwang army had no way to drive out of the camp to fight a counterattack.

However, Wu Shigong weishenme wants to fight back? Wu Shigong's Qinwang army marched like a turtle every day. and built his camp like a tortoise's shell. Wu Shigong is playing the extreme turtle stream.

Don't say it, because of Wu Shigong's caution, but also because of the instructors sent by Wu Shigong to the soldiers drawn from other thousand households, they constantly strengthened the training of those soldiers' defensive tactics. Therefore, these soldiers have some confidence in their hearts, and they have gradually stabilized and are no longer so nervous.

It is not only Wu Shigong's soldiers who are nervous, but also the common people and the government of Beizhili who are also very nervous. When Wu Shigong's Qinwang army was marching on the avenue, as long as they saw Wu Shigong's Qinwang army, all the common people fled when they heard the news.

At first, the actions of those ordinary people made Wu Shigong more vigilant, and he thought that there was a Tartar army operating nearby, so those ordinary people mistook their army for the Tartar army.

Therefore, Wu Shigong immediately sent more spies to explore the surroundings, but did not find any other signs of military activity. At this time, Wu Shigong thought: Maybe those ordinary people don't know the identity of their King Qin's army, so they are so afraid.

But later, when Wu Shigong's soldiers shouted out the identity of their Qinwang army, those ordinary people still fled when they heard the news. This made Wu Shigong a little strange.

The main reason is that because he can't get any news from the local people, he only relies on Wu Shigong's own limited spies to investigate, and Wu Shigong can't fully know what is happening nearby and what army dynamics are there. Isn't this to make your own army deaf and blind?

So, Wu Shigong ordered a few ordinary people to be arrested to inquire about the news. After those ordinary people were arrested, under Wu Shigong's kind questioning, they all collapsed to the ground, trembling and unable to speak.

Seeing the reactions of these ordinary people, Wu Shigong was very puzzled. What's going on? Does your smile look scary?

Hefei, who is still on the side, has experience. He stepped forward and gave each citizen a few slaps and kicks. Under He Fei's obscenity, although these ordinary people were still trembling, they could at least speak and answer Wu Shigong's questions.

After Wu Shigong asked the question he wanted to ask, he gave those ordinary people some copper plates and a few catties of grain as a reward. This move made the mood of these ordinary people feel better.

Striking while the iron was hot, Wu Shigong asked the reason for the strange behavior of these ordinary people. There was a bold reply Wu Shigong said: "My lord, for our people, whether it is a Tartar or an official army crossing the border, it is a military disaster!" ”

Then, the man explained the reason to Wu Shigong in detail. It turned out that the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty at this time were better off in their hometowns, at least they would not do anything to their fellow villagers.

And the discipline of those soldiers is not very bad, but many of them are more vicious than bandits. Because they are basically not active in their hometowns. Therefore, it is almost unscrupulous to start attacking the common people.

So in the eyes of the common people, in fact, there is no difference between the performance of the Tartar army and the official army. Even because in addition to the behavior of looting property, the Tartar army only robbed the common people as slaves, and those officials and soldiers who robbed property, in order to prevent their behavior from being exposed in the court, they often did things to kill people afterwards. Therefore, in the eyes of the common people, it may be that the Tartar army is better than the official army. At least the Tartar army left a life for the common people.

After Wu Shigong learned about these situations, he couldn't say anything, because those officers and soldiers were still his allies at least for now. However, Wu Shigong still thinks that the military discipline of the official army should not be bad to that extent. Maybe it's because the discipline of a few officers and soldiers is too poor, which caused a rat poop to spoil a pot of soup.

But what made Wu Shigong even more laughable was that not only the common people had this view of the official army, but even the government's view of the official army.

When King Wu Shigongqin's army marched, they generally camped close to the city for safety. But whenever an army approached a city, that city would definitely be like a great enemy. All the city gates were closed, and Wu Shigong's army of King Qin was absolutely not allowed to enter the city.

This made it very difficult for Wu Shigong to do it, because it was difficult for him to get some supplies from these cities. The better city, after hearing the news of Wu Shigong's request for supplies, would hang some grain and grass from the city wall. If you don't haode, you just ignore Wu Shigong.

This made Wu Shigong very angry in his heart. He thought in his heart: "Is this the land of the Ming Dynasty or the land of the Tartars?" ”

Fortunately, Wu Shigong's own grain and grass are quite sufficient, and he can fully support Wu Shigong's march. Wu Shigong couldn't help but feel glad that he had scavenged enough grain and grass in Henan.

However, Wu Shigong still felt a little at a loss, he was going to the capital to King Qin, so the grain and grass for his army should be supplied by the local officials along the way. Why do you want to use Wu Shigong's own grain and grass?

However, Wu Shigong now does not dare to use the method of collecting military rations in Henan. Aside from the reason for being unfamiliar with the place, this Beizhili is near the capital, and it can also be said that it is at the foot of half the Son of Heaven.

And many of the Zhuangzi in Beizhili are also the Zhuangzi of the nobles and eunuchs. In case the matter of playing white strips to levy grain offends any powerful person, Wu Shigong will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

However, cringing when there is difficulty is not Wu Shigong's character; Eating a little bit of food and grass is not Wu Shigong's character; Pay attention to demeanor and face, this is not Wu Shigong's character.

Wu Shigong used the rogue grain levy method. In the future, whenever Wu Shigong's army of King Qin arrived at a city, if he could not get the amount of grain and grass he needed. Wu Shigong sent some loud soldiers to scold. For example: "The county commander in the city wants to starve the army of King Qin, he is the internal response of the Tartars!" ”；“ The governor in the city didn't give food and grass to King Qin's army, thinking about corruption! ”…… Something like that. If there was no supply of grain and grass in the city, King Wu Shigongqin's army would not leave, shouting these disgusting words day and night that made the officials in the city disgusting.

Don't say it, as soon as these words are shouted, they often have miraculous effects. In addition, the grain and grass that Wu Shigong asked for was also within the tolerance of those cities. Therefore, as long as these words are shouted, not long after shouting, the grain and grass that Wu Shigong needs will always be hung from the city wall.

This incident also verifies a sentence - not afraid of death, only afraid of shamelessness.

Wu Shigong is not afraid that his actions will be sued at all. Because of the righteousness of King Qin, how to fight a lawsuit, how can Wu Shigong have the upper hand.

At most, the officials in those cities formed some personal enmity with Wu Shigong. But would Wu Shigong be afraid of this? In the future, as long as Wu Shigong shrinks into his fortress of a thousand households, he may not necessarily have those officials to bite him! Yu Zilian, the county magistrate of the county where Wu Shigong's thousand households are located, has such a big personal feud with Wu Shigong, and he hasn't done anything to Wu Shigong for more than a year!

In this way, Wu Shigong not only did not consume the grain and grass he carried, but also the amount of grain and grass he had became more and more. It's just that in this way, Wu Shigong's march speed is even slower. However, this situation is also in Wu Shigong's hands.
