Chapter 972: Expedition!
There were bursts of shouting and cheering from the open space in the barracks of the Bingzhou Army, one after another Bingzhou soldiers were practicing, and Lu Bu watched the soldiers train with his arms on his chest, with a serious expression on his face. In front of him, closer to the position of the soldiers, Zhang Liao was walking back and forth, stopping from time to time to correct some of the soldiers' wrong movements.
Daily training is indispensable, even now, especially Zhang Liao knows very well what a group of real sharp soldiers rely on to gain a foothold on the battlefield and win victory after victory.
Lu Bu also knew, so he was here now, but it wasn't just to watch the daily drills of these soldiers. In fact, it was very reassuring to have Zhang Liao supervising the training of these soldiers Lu Bu, and before that, there was Gao Shun, and with the two of them, Lu Bu rarely interfered in the daily drills of the soldiers in the army anymore.
Now Gao Shun is no longer around, but there is still Zhang Liao, isn't it?
It's just that training is not about whether you will train your soldiers or not, but whether you are there. It's one thing to do it or not, it's another thing to be absent, at least to show that you're here, you're looking at it, and this is directly linked to the motivation of the soldiers.
The dead Ding Yuan had forgotten this a long time ago, if it weren't for this, Lu Bu himself would not have had so much prestige in the army, so much so that Ding Yuan was jealous.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu shook his head, after all, Ding Yuan was still dead, dead at his hands, but the reason for all this was self-inflicted.
But that's not the end of the story.
Lu Bu exhaled a long breath, raised his head to look at the current sky, and felt a little indescribable anxiety in his heart.
Calculating the time, it should be this time.
But the person he was waiting for hadn't come yet, which made Lu Bu a little uneasy, and the uneasiness came from his heart and his plans for the future.
If everything can't be carried out according to what has been decided, then he will have to think about the way back, at least he can't let the court know that Ding Yuan died in his hands. Otherwise, even with his great prestige in the state army, it is unknown how many people will continue to follow him at that time, or even a pitiful few.
The reason why he has a strong control over the current army is that almost all the soldiers in the army don't know that Ding Yuan died in his hands, so he can control it. Once it is exposed and proven, then he is the so-called guilty of the following, and the person who killed the chief official can be said to be doomed.
Just as there are some people who want to rebel and have the army in their hands, but they will not directly say that they want to rebel, but will replace them with other righteous excuses. Once the soldiers know what kind of specific things they are going to do, and think of the consequences, the military spirit can be said to collapse directly, and there is no longer any fighting power.
Zhang Liao stopped, looked back, and noticed that Lu Bu's expression also had the same doubts. He is now completely in the same boat as Lu Bu, if he fails, Lu Bu will bear most of the responsibility as the principal, but he, as a servant, should have no less.
After settling his mind, Zhang Liao stepped forward again, shifting his gaze and attention to the trained soldiers.
He and Lu Bu are the same kind of people, battlefield veterans, this kind of person is very confident, and when a matter is not completely decided, it cannot be called absolute for them. To put it mildly, it means not crying when you don't see the coffin, maybe you will only give up when you really die and really fail.
Of course, Zhang Liao wanted the former, not the latter's description. Of course, he will not cry, the blood is all gone, his life is gone, it is useless and unnecessary to cry.
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were waiting, waiting for the time to come, waiting for the opportunity to send troops.
"Report, report, report!"
A hurried shout resounded through the barracks, and another series of the same words echoed, repeating and shattering the calm morning.
From far to near, from vague to outright clarity, Lu Bu raised his head violently and looked towards the place where the voice came from, and the joy on his face flashed.
Many of the soldiers in training didn't feel anything at first, but when the voice gradually became clearer, they couldn't help but look at the source of the sound while they were training.
Zhang Liao, who was supposed to reprimand out loud, did not reprimand these soldiers who were distracted during the training, or he didn't care, from the beginning, today's training was just to pull all the troops out and wait for the opportunity.
In the middle of the entire camp, the trained soldiers all wore helmets and armor, and the equipment on their bodies was not much different from the equipment they wore on the battlefield. In this way, when the soldiers are needed to fight, there is no need for any delay, and the troops can be sent directly.
This is because of the training, otherwise it takes time to gather the soldiers, and it takes time to get the soldiers ready, and it takes time to explain and convince the soldiers.
It can be trained, and these things that take time to do are brought together, so time is saved.
"Urgent, urgent!" The cavalrymen who rode on their horses from the direction of the camp gate were still shouting on their horses, and there was smoke and dust behind them that slowly dissipated.
When he saw Lu Bu, his eyes lit up, and he rode towards Lu Bu, and at the same time shouted on the horseback, "Urgent!" The ten permanent servants in Luoyang City made a rebellion, and the Queen Mother ordered the state army to enter the city to quell the chaos! ”
The guards around Lu Bu would not relax for a moment because of what the soldier who came over on horseback said, but subconsciously took a step forward the moment he saw the war horse, ready to strike in the event of an accident.
"It's okay, don't care." Lu Bu shook his head and stopped the guards around him from taking a step closer.
The joy on his face had vanished, and had turned into the shock and anger that he had now, all of which were reactions to the news of the cavalry.
The same expression as Lu Bu was Zhang Liao's expression, as well as the expressions of the soldiers in the army, and everyone had that kind of surprised expression. As soon as he heard the news, there was a "buzz", and there was almost a whispering sound in the camp. It's just that it didn't take long for the sound to appear, and the voice disappeared on its own.
The soldiers who unconsciously made their voices looked sideways at Zhang Liao, and were relieved to find that Zhang Liao didn't seem to notice them, otherwise they would definitely not have a good time in training.
Of course, the training is over, at least for Lu Bu and Zhang Liao. After waiting for the news and righteousness to wait, they did not need to continue to train the soldiers. But... Let's go!
