Chapter 734, Ironclad Chariot
Meng Huo received the news, so he had to camp in place and stand still for the time being, but he still continued to send scouts to explore the situation in Tongguan at any time, and from Meng Huo's side, there was no difference between Tongguan and the past. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because, the preparations made by Jia Xu were all to deal with Zhuge Liang, and Meng Shu's side was calm, except for the fact that the guards on the tower of Tongguan City could be seen changing the guard on time every day, nothing abnormal could be found.
And Zhang Liao, who was sitting in Luoyang, was not idle, he also kept sending scouts to pay close attention to the movements in the direction of Tongguan, and suddenly, on this day, a soldier sent Jia Xu's order, and actually asked Zhang Liao to send craftsmen to build chariots.
The chariot, Zhang Liao is no stranger, he has been familiar with the military book since childhood, the ironclad chariot that was rampant in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhang Liao is very impressed, but, with the passage of time, the chariot gradually declined, and now it has long been eliminated, because the chariot has extremely high requirements for the terrain, and the mobility is far less flexible and fast than the cavalry, the chariot is too cumbersome, only in the plains, can play a great role.
This thing is not difficult to make, after all, although the chariot has been replaced by the cavalry, but in many places, some people's homes, there are still shadows of chariots, and there is no need to even draw drawings.
Zhang Liao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly gathered the craftsmen near Luoyang, and even sent a lot of people from Jizhou.
Now, I don't dare to say anything else, on Chen Chip's territory, everything may be lacking, capable people and sages, these are not as good as other princes, but if it is a craftsman master who knows how to work, Chen Cut is here and everywhere.
Because, as early as more than ten years ago, Chen Chuan began to recruit craftsmen on a large scale, Cao Cao and Sun Quan both built a recruitment hall, specializing in the selection of elite talents, Chen Cut at that time, also followed the example of the recruitment hall, but unfortunately, no one came to defect.
In desperation, he shifted his attention to the craftsmen who had skills, and as a result, it was out of control, and after so many years, almost more than half of the people who knew how to craft in the Central Plains had run to the territory of Chen Chipping.
Because, here, they are not despised, and the treatment is much stronger than that of other princes, the division of three religions and nine streams is deep-rooted, and the craftsmen and merchants Jia Qinglou women, these people have a very humble status and are not accepted by the mainstream people.
As soon as he said that he wanted to build an ironclad chariot, Hula, all the craftsmen in the city came to sign up enthusiastically, and even the masons came to join in the fun. Second, by Cao Cao's side, I wanted to find some craftsmen who knew how to work, and I was extremely distressed, and at the end of the day, I couldn't see a few people, but on Chen Qiao's side, an order was given, and it was simply a response from all the people!
Obviously, Jia Xu asked Zhang Liao to build 500 chariots, but as a result, it was more than doubled within the time limit.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
In addition, the grain and grass transported from Jizhou were also sent to Tongguan in a steady stream, since the soldiers would be very glued, naturally no one on either side would be careless.
And Xu Shu also followed Jia Xu's instructions and asked Zhao Yun and Gan Ning to command an army of 30,000 to advance to Ba County, Gan Ning suggested a surprise attack, Zhao Yun advocated a big fanfare, and the two quarreled about it, and even Gan Ning rolled up his arms and sleeves, hating to teach Zhao Yun a lesson.
Although Zhao Yun is the main general, but Gan Ning's military exploits are no less than Zhao Yun, the reason why Xu Shu let Gan Ning be the deputy general is because Gan Ning's character is too hot, and he can't get angry at every turn, so he goes on a rampage, although there are times when he is calm and even has a flash of inspiration to come up with strange tricks, but obviously, he is not as calm as Zhao Yun.
"Zilong, you should talk about it, otherwise, let's just divide the troops into two ways, I am the vanguard general, go to the front to attack Ba County first, and you continue to attract the attention of Huang Zhong Lao'er in the back."
"Yes, our Jinfan Army is willing to take the lead."
As soon as Gan Ning's words fell, the deputy general Zhanshuo's chest straightened, and he waved his hand at the soldiers beside him, and with a hula, thousands of Jinfan soldiers all took the initiative to stand up in support of Gan Ning.
Gan Ning squinted his eyes, his eyes were sideways, his expression was arrogant and proud, and he said in his heart, how about me? No matter what we do in Gan Xingba, the brothers are all of one heart.
"Xingba, you..."
Zhao Yun smiled and shook his head, Gan Ning is simply a ruffian, full of gangsterism, not only did he not feel ashamed of the soldiers below who 'made trouble', but he was also complacent.
However, Zhao Yun looked at it for a while, sneered, and Zhao Yun didn't hear much about Gan Ning's comments, and when he said something indecent, his ears were calloused.
Some people say that Gan Ning is the biggest cancer of the righteous army, he has always disobeyed discipline, never takes military discipline seriously, drinks and makes trouble, it is commonplace, his brothers, if anyone is despised and bullied, Gan Ning didn't say a word, and immediately picked up a knife to find the other party to settle accounts, for this reason, there was no shortage of murder and bloodshed, even the miscellaneous servants in those clothes around him, Gan Ning was slightly dissatisfied, and he was either beaten or scolded, and the food was salty and light, this kind of trivial matter, Gan Ning killed no less than a dozen cooks in a year.
In terms of sins alone, Gan Ningchuang's troubles, the military regulations he committed, and his head being cut off ten times are not too much.
However, Gan Ning's body, there are places where others are far inferior, for example, the soldiers who follow him are willing to sacrifice their lives for Gan Ning, everyone, as long as they join the Jinfan Army, the expression is called a smugness, although the military discipline will be somewhat loose, but the combat power of these people can be tightly twisted into a rope, and the effect of increasing several times in a very short period of time can be achieved.
Most of the rebels are not afraid of death, but the Jinfan Army is even more fearless of death, once these people go to the battlefield, whether it is a land battle or a water battle, one is more than the other, they are all wolf cubs.
Moreover, Gan Ning's war attack over the years is unmatched by no one in the army, even if Chen Qi has a headache and is dissatisfied, he can't easily kill Gan Ning, although he has been reprimanded, but Gan Ning never pays attention to it, and still goes his own way.
Not only is the righteousness of the rivers and lakes deep, but the gangsterism has never decreased.
The current Chen Qi, although he pays attention to military discipline, is far from being ruthless and harsh, except for big mistakes, he must be severely punished, these crimes committed by Gan Ning, basically, in Chen Qi's view, are far from the point where he has to kill his head.
Killing people pays for their lives, at least, Chen Qi didn't do that. Because, Gan Ning's military exploits, I don't know how many lives he saved, but he just killed a few people who are not worth mentioning, such as cooks, such as ruffians... For example, vendors...!
Those who have achieved great things, regardless of informality, these trivial things are really not worth mentioning in front of the overall situation, because, as long as Gan Ning is mentioned, the enemy is all afraid! (To be continued.) )
