Chapter 31 Houde as a pioneer
Zuo Houde arrived on the second day, and the Central Military Government reported, explaining the news of his return, and at the same time preparing to take over his subsequent appointment, but unexpectedly, the commander of the Central Military Government told Zuo Houde that his appointment had not yet come down.
After Zuo Houde returned home, he was even more prepared, the war was about to start!
Generally, the garrison generals in other places will receive their own appointments immediately after they come back, but this time Zuo Houde did not, I am afraid that he is really going to fight, so he is still preparing the corresponding officers and soldiers and horses to fight, and most of them are in the list of battles, otherwise their appointments will not have come out yet.
Zuo Houde no longer had any doubts after guessing it, and told his family the news, after all, he was about to go out with the army, and he always had to let his family be psychologically prepared.
"Rong'er, most likely I'm going to go out with the army again this time." Zuo Houde looked at his wife's face and said softly.
"Then go, I am at home, and I will take care of my parents and children, don't worry. But be careful on the battlefield and always think that you still have parents, children, and wives at home. Huang Rong said that over the years, Huang Rong has also accepted that her husband has changed from a Langzhong to a general who goes on horseback to fight, and she also knows that the battlefield is the place where her husband can show his skills, so he no longer has a mustard, but comforts his husband and asks him to take care of himself on the battlefield.
"If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?" Zuo Houde heard his wife's words, couldn't help but be moved, and reached out to hug his wife.
After dinner, Zuo Houde told his parents about his appointment and told his parents.
This time, the parents thought more calmly, after all, they had been stationed in other places with their son for four years, and accepted their son's identity, but they repeatedly told Zuo Houde to pay attention to safety and be careful on the battlefield.
His family is so reasonable, Zuo Houde has no worries, and he accompanies his family for a few days.
On the third day, sure enough, the military order of the Central Military Government came down, and Zuo Houde went to Nandaying to report, before Zuo Houde went to the military camp for the first time was also in Nandaying, and Zuo Houde was still a military doctor at that time, but he didn't expect that when Zuo Houde went to Nandaying again this time, he was already a general.
Zuo Houde immediately convened the tribe, but this time it took a lot of time, and it was not until noon that he was assembled.
At home, Zuo Houde put on his battle armor, picked up a longbow, a sword, and a war spear, and was about to go out.
Then he heard his son's voice: "Daddy, daddy, where are you going?" Zuo Yu rushed over and hugged Zuo Houde, who gently stroked his son's head.
"Yu'er, my father is going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and Yu'er will go in the future, only on the battlefield is my boy's destination! That's where heroes come in! Zuo Houde said to his son.
Zuo Yu was still ignorant, but he still said loudly: "Dad, I will also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions in the future, and be a hero!" ”
"Good! It's my son, daddy is gone! ”
……
In the southern camp, Zuo Houde led his troops to arrive.
After Zuo Houde showed his appointment letter to the guards outside, he led his troops into the barracks, and then ordered his subordinates to rest in place, and Zuo Houde rushed to the Chinese army's big tent.
Seeing the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the big tent of the Chinese army, Zuo Houde clasped his fists and saluted: "Humble Zuo Houde pays a visit to General Pingxi." ”
This man is the chief general of the southern battalion, and Zuo Houde is the deputy general of the southern battalion, the southern battalion has expanded a lot over the years, and there are currently eight battalions plus logistics, about 20,000 people, so the main general of the unified army has become Zhang Dingchang, the general of Sanpin Pingxi, and although the previous general Fu Tianyou was also promoted to the general of Sanpin Pingnan, he was sent to Hanzhou to sit in the town.
"General Yangwei doesn't have to be polite, and the two of us will have to cooperate more in the future." Zhang Dingchang said with a smile.
"I will fully cooperate with the general." Zuo Houde only thinks that Zhang Dingchang gives himself face, and he also knows how to measure himself.
"Thank you General Zuo, I will inform the general of the three battalions of the general's commander." Zhang Dingchang then informed Zuo Houde of the three battalions under Zuo Houde, and Zuo Houde retired.
After that, Zuo Houde rushed to his big tent and instructed his subordinates to notify his lieutenants to come.
Not long after, three big men in battle armor arrived in Zuo Houde's military tent.
"See the general." The three of them clasped their fists and saluted, and said to Zuo Houde in unison.
Zuo Houde waved his hand and commanded: "Don't be polite, you must train your soldiers well and prepare for the next big battle!" ”
"Despicable duty," the three of them said in unison.
After that, Zuo Houde asked them some questions about their subordinate camps, and asked about the life experience of his own lieutenants, which could be regarded as getting close to them and getting closer to each other.
After that, Zuo Houde recruited the quartermaster and asked him to arrange accommodation and other issues for his subordinates, and then sat in the big tent to rest.
On the second day, Zuo Houde, accompanied by several lieutenants, inspected the situation of his three large battalions, but each battalion was well-trained, and Zuo Houde was quite satisfied.
After staying in the southern camp for half a month, Zhang Dingchang ordered the army to pull out, and the army went all the way south and arrived at Dingcheng.
Dingcheng is the southernmost Xiongcheng of Dayan, which is connected to the Ming Dynasty, and this Dingcheng can be regarded as an important town for attacking the Ming Dynasty. At present, the 200,000 troops of Dayan are gathered here.
In the camp of the Chinese army, the generals were discussing tactics at this time, and Zuo Houde sat in the back row and kept silent, after all, Zuo Houde was really not good at this.
From time to time, a result was finally discussed - to attack Haocheng first.
Then this time, the marshal, Zhennan General Li Anguo, asked: "Break Haocheng first, who is willing to be a pioneer." ”
"The last general, General Zuo Houde, is willing to lead his soldiers to break through Haocheng!" Zuo Houde finally waited for the result of their discussion, so he immediately stepped forward and said.
"Good! Pioneer left Houde! Li Anguo said.
When he returned to his own military camp, Zuo Houde gathered his three battalions of 6,000 soldiers and rushed to Haocheng.
……
Daming, Gangneung.
At this time, Han Tingzhi received the news that Dayan's 200,000 troops were assembled in Dingcheng, so he invited his subordinates to come to discuss.
"Dayan's 200,000 army has gathered in Dingcheng, what do you think?" Han Tingzhi sat in his seat, ready to listen to the advice of his subordinates.
"Your Majesty, Dayan is menacing and must be guarded against, it is better to send General Zhenbei to lead 200,000 troops to support."
Han Tingzhi was a little puzzled at this time and couldn't help asking: "Dayan sent troops to the south, why did you attack my Daming first?" Our borders are much more difficult to attack than the big beams? ”
"But the old minister doesn't know, maybe Dayan Daliang secretly has an alliance."
"The Covenant?" Han Tingzhi was also stunned, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Immediately send envoys to Dayan and Daliang respectively, and tell Dayan that we will divide Daliang together, and tell Daliang that our lips are cold and the teeth are cold." ”
"In addition, let General Dingnan guard the border of Daliang, and be careful of Daliang's troops! Lu Xiaoxian, the general of the expedition to Peking University, led an army of 200,000 to Dingcheng and garrisoned the border! ”
