Zhong Ye's march was 5,000 miles deep, and he had to command various places to build defenses along the way, so the speed was a little slower.

But this is also a helpless thing, the emperor ordered him to take full custody, and he can cut it first and then play.

Along the way, I saw lax defense in various places, and it was really difficult to let go.

After all, the rear is unstable, and if there is a slight danger in the front, it will collapse for a thousand miles. What's more, it is necessary to prevent people in some places from taking advantage of the chaos to rebel, and if internal and external troubles occur at the same time, the consequences will be worrying.

The officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty was conservative and dull, and although the new emperor had changed a lot since his accession to the throne, the accumulated habits were still there.

Along the way, Zhong Ye dismissed the Taishou of the three places in a row, which made the officials in other places take a deep warning and become resolute.

Zhong Ye often came to the northwest border in his early years, and Liangzhou was his birthplace, so he naturally attached great importance to it.

The Turks are his old enemies, and the old man fought against the Turks and sacrificed his life for the country.

In the more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has not been able to completely get rid of the Turkic raids, which is indeed a headache.

Now Liangzhou Taishou is Jiang Qianzhang, who was appointed by the first emperor a year ago. is also a military general, but in the face of the onslaught of the Turkic army, coupled with a traitor like Xu Jingfeng, it is very difficult to resist.

Now he has retreated three hundred miles, constantly asking the imperial court for support.

When Zhong Ye led the army to be about 500 miles away from the front line, he ordered him to stop and rest, and the soldiers originally thought that they were only resting for about half a day.

Who would have thought that Zhong Ye ordered a full two days of rest.

There are many soldiers who are puzzled, and the front line is obviously 100,000 urgent. The so-called saving people is like fighting fires, and arriving early is a moment.

I don't know how much military information will be delayed in the past two days.

There are even soldiers who discuss it in private, thinking that Zhong Ye is afraid.

After all, the Turkic iron cavalry has been terrifying to the people of the Central Plains for hundreds of years.

The Turks grew up on horseback, and all of them were skilled in riding.

In comparison, the cavalry of the Han people was much worse.

"Grandpa, when are we going to pull out the camp?" Vice General Zhao walked into the big tent and asked Zhong Ye: "The soldiers are looking forward to going to the front line to kill the enemy." ”

"Why do you say it so subtlely," Zhong Ye smiled, "They must have thought I was scared." ”

"This ......" Vice General Zhao was speechless for a while, and it took a long time before he said: "Grandpa is really like a god." ”

"Let the soldiers go hunting! The place where we are stationed is rich in water and grass, and there must be a lot of yellow sheep and wild camels. Zhong Ye ordered: "Reward the three armies at night." ”

"Grandpa, do you mean we won't leave yet?" Vice General Zhao couldn't help but ask.

"I'll leave tomorrow at dawn." Zhong Ye said calmly: "I have to wait until the soldiers are full of food and drink." ”

"But Jiang Taishou is over there......" Vice General Zhao wanted to speak and stopped, if it weren't for the fact that he had served under Zhong Ye when he attacked Yuan Shichuan and had seen Zhong Ye's methods, he was afraid that he would have suspected Zhong Ye's cowardice at this time.

"After the city of Liangzhou was broken, the people scattered and fled, and they are now stationed on the mountain, and the Turkic soldiers will not be able to attack it for a while and a half," Zhong Ye said while looking at the marching map: "If it takes a long time, the people on the mountain will not be able to support it due to the lack of food, but it is not enough for two days." ”

"Grandpa, let's go over earlier and attack the Turkic soldiers with the soldiers on the mountain, isn't it more likely to win?"

"Of course, this strategy is good." Zhong Ye nodded and said, "But I'm not in a hurry in the next two days." ”

Zhong Ye said this, and Vice General Zhao couldn't say more.

Retreat outside the tent and tell the soldiers to go hunting.

The weather in August is already in full swing outside the Sais.

The withered grass withered and yellow, stretching endlessly, is the time when the wild animals are at their fattest.

The bright moon hangs high, and the scene is natural and spectacular.

Zhong Ye stood on the high ground, holding a glass of wine in his hand, facing the three armies to lecture.

"All the soldiers traveled thousands of miles with me to come to Liangzhou to expel Hu Lu, regardless of the hard work and fatigue, they all wanted to kill the enemy as soon as possible and serve the country, how could Zhong not know? Let everyone rest here, firstly, to restore their spirits, and secondly, to avoid the sharp edge of the Turkic soldiers. Zhongwei has always lived in the Central Plains and knows very little about the Turks. The Turks recognized wolves as their ancestors and boasted of their wolf nature. I especially like to kill on a bright moonlit night, thinking that at this time there is the blessing of the wolf god, the sword and gun are not avoided, and the power is inexhaustible. These two days are exactly fifteen or sixteen, if we confront them at this time. It is purely a matter of hard work and passivity. It is better to recuperate and avoid its edge, and the chances of winning will be greater. The so-called one blow and then decline, when they want to fight the most, let them have nothing to do. In this way, the Turkic soldiers will inevitably be discouraged. Then we play it again, and we win in momentum. ”

When Zhong Ye said this, the soldiers all showed a look of sudden realization.

The green onion couldn't help but pat his thigh and said, "Brother, what did I tell you before?" The grandfather is clever in leading the soldiers, and no matter what he does, he has his reasons. We just need to be honest and obedient, how are we now? ”

Several of the soldiers around him lowered their heads in shame, thinking that they must have talked about Zhong Ye behind their backs before.

However, Zhong Ye turned a blind eye to this, raised the wine glass high, and said loudly: "After tonight, we will forget our hometown, and we only have the thought of killing the enemy in our hearts." Sacrifice your life for the country, and treat death as home! After tonight, we will lose our names, and we will be ready to bury our bones in the desert at any time!

Tonight, I swear with all my brothers here: I can give up my life, I can donate my body, and I will never allow the Turks to step into the Central Plains for half a step! Those who abide by this oath are like the moon in the sky, like the wine in the cup, bright and eternal, pure and honest for thousands of years! Those who violate this oath will be like wolves and flies in dung, spurned by others, and will fall into reincarnation forever! ”

All the soldiers were inspired, and they all shouted: "We swear: I will be like the wine in the cup of the moon in the sky, kill the enemy for the country, and never give up!" ”

In recent days, the morale of the army, which has been slackened, has regathered and is stronger than ever.

In fact, this is a strategy of Zhong Ye.

Of course, he could have explained the reason when he was first stationed, but he had to delay it for two days.

It is to make the soldiers suspicious, so that when he explains the reason, everyone will suddenly understand.

Such a contrast will make people feel ashamed, and they will be more convinced of him.

It is impossible to explain the reasons to the soldiers one by one when they march and fight in the future, and if they do not gain trust in advance, they will inevitably delay the military plane.

Zhong Ye believes that the way of leading soldiers, the so-called military discipline drills are just scratching the surface, and the real essence is that soldiers use their lives and everyone serves to the death, so that a million army can be like an arm.

These 20 armies are not only the soldiers under his command, but also the hope of the entire Great Zhou State.

The emperor put all the odds on him, and he had to make himself a god to the soldiers.

Only then can he become a nightmare for the Turks. They were beaten and fled.

The road to conquest is far away, and if the soldiers have no faith in their hearts, they will not be able to survive in this bitter cold.
