Chapter 220: Accompanying the Army
Su Jiudong packed up the necessary salutes, pulled up his silky hair, and changed into men's clothes, looking neat and neat.
Su Ting'an and Ah Rong, who were called, waited on both sides of Wen Yiheng, and the two children had just seen Su Jiudong dressed in men's clothes before they could react, and the two were stunned for a while before they recognized that it was A-Niang, so they rushed to Su Jiudong's side to be coquettish.
Su Ting'an squeezed her fleshy little body into Su Jiudong's arms, buried her head on her shoulder and sobbed slightly: "Auntie, are you really going to leave with Daddy... An'er was reluctant to give up her father and mother. ”
"Since we came to the capital, Daddy and Auntie have always been busy outside and not by An'er's side, and now they are going to travel far away, and An'er is not happy... As soon as Daddy and Auntie leave, An'er will only have Sister Ah Rong..."
Su Ting'an's complaint made Su Jiudong's heart sour.
Although after they moved to the capital with their families, their living environment became better, their houses became bigger, they no longer had to worry about food and clothing, and they could even learn from the best masters in the capital, but the distance between parents and children was indeed getting farther and farther away.
Although she still lives under the same roof, Su Jiudong is relieved to hand over her two children to her master to teach, while she immerses herself in studying various medical books and ancient books in Qinghui Garden, so she does not have many opportunities to meet Su Tingan and Ah Rong every day.
"An'er is not only Sister Ah Rong, but also her own grandfather, doesn't An'er remember the little sugar man and sugar gourd that Grandpa bought for you?" Su Jiudong touched Su Ting'an's head comfortingly: "An'er went to the Guogong Mansion to be taken care of by Grandpa, so she won't feel lonely!" ”
Wen Yiheng approached the three of them, squatted down and took Su Jiudong and Su Ting'an in his arms, and comforted him softly.
"Grandpa has been waiting for An'er and your sister Ah Rong in the Guogong Mansion for a long time, Daddy is going to Northern Xinjiang to guard, An'er and Ah Rong are going to be filial to Grandpa for Daddy, and wait for Daddy and Auntie to come back!"
Su Ting'an stopped crying at this time, and nodded aggrievedly but obediently: "Okay." An'er will be obedient and filial to Grandpa, so Daddy and Grandpa and grandfather will come back soon! An'er wants to reunite with her grandfather as soon as possible! ”
After speaking, Sui Tang'an took Ah Rong's little hand, and with tears in his eyes, he got into the carriage with the servants of the Guogong Mansion and went to the Guogong Mansion.
As for Su Jiudong's movements, she claimed to the public that she went to the Su family's private property and hot spring village outside the city to recuperate, and refused the invitation of other ladies and ladies to meet during the period.
Sent away the two children who were most concerned, and the worries were solved, Wen Yiheng and Su Fenglan turned over and set off.
Spanning the dimensions of ancient and modern, Su Jiudong didn't expect that he would be able to "return to his old business" now, and once again follow the army as a military doctor, and set off with Wen Yiheng and Su Fenglan to join the army at the military camp on the outskirts of the capital.
The military camp in the capital is roughly divided into two types, one is the military camp in the southwest corner of the city, which is led by the general of the auxiliary state.
The other is the garrison outside the city, which is uniformly dispatched by the champion general.
The military camp inside the city was responsible for guarding the capital and its outskirts, and was superior to the garrisons outside the city in terms of living conditions, training places, equipment, and food. Most of the garrisons outside the city were prepared for going out to fight, and most of them were camped and temporarily stayed.
General Huaihua and the surrendered envoy have arrived at the garrison outside the city, and the 600,000 troops have been assembled, waiting for Wen Yiheng and Su Fenglan to come and converge.
On both sides of the entrance to the camp were two wooden watchtowers six meters high, and the scouts on the towers saw Wen Yiheng leading the army from a distance: "General! Wen Xiang and General Su have arrived outside the camp! ”。
Huaihua General Wu Dechong ordered the soldiers to open the camp gate and go out to greet them.
Su Jiudong rode on a tall horse, disappeared behind Wen Yiheng's horse mount, didn't say a word, and tried to keep a low profile.
Wu Dechong warmly stepped forward to greet Wen Yiheng and Su Fenglan, while Sima Weiye's attitude was much colder, muttering dissatisfiedly.
"I don't know what military affairs Wen Xiang and General Su are busy with, but they have been delayed for a long time, and they don't seem to care if they will delay the military situation."
Wen Yiheng smiled calmly: "The Holy Lord sent someone to pass on the message, and there is something important to explain to the prime minister and General Su, so this is delayed." Sima Envoy may wish to talk to the Holy One if he has the opportunity, and ask the Holy Lord not to pass on the oracle in the future, so as to delay the military situation. ”
Wen Yiheng took Emperor Tianduo to block Sima Weiye, where did the officials in the court dare to find Emperor Tianduo? Therefore, Sima Weiye couldn't ask for any benefit, so he had to shut up and stop talking about being late.
Su Jiudong knew that the reason why Wen Yiheng and Su Fenglan were late was because they had to wait for her to pack their luggage, and couldn't help but bow their heads guiltily.
Getting rid of Sima Weiye's entanglement, Wen Yiheng asked Wu Dechong: "General Wu, has the army been assembled?" ”
"Returning to the warm phase... Oh no, it should be back to the Generalissimo, the 600,000 army has been assembled, just wait for the Generalissimo to come to the stage and order the troops, and then you can set off. ”
"Okay." Wen Yiheng climbed the high platform, standing on the platform with a majestic figure, facing the black pressure in front of him and a sea of people, which was an army of 600,000 that could not be seen. Hot search
In ancient times, 600,000 troops were already a very impressive number.
Su Jiudong was originally a special forces military doctor in modern society, and he went to the battlefield with the army several times, but he never had the opportunity to directly meet the special forces with as many as 600,000 people.
Now that he had the opportunity to see such a large number of ancient soldiers with his own eyes, it seemed that he could imagine the scene of brave soldiers going into battle to kill the enemy, and Su Jiudong couldn't help but boil with his blood.
Su Jiudong and Su Fenglan listened to Wen Yiheng's troops on the side of the high platform.
Su Jiudong couldn't help but ask curiously: "Daddy, I know that when I go on an expedition, I usually deliberately exaggerate the million army. In this northern expedition, do we really have as many as 600,000 troops? ”
Su Fenglan approached Su Jiudong and replied in a low voice, "Of course there is!" And it's not just 600,000. ”
"If you haven't been to the barracks, you probably don't know that there is a saying in the barracks that it takes five people for a soldier to be able to afford it. Although this number is somewhat exaggerated, in addition to the 600,000 soldiers who went to the battlefield, there were also 300,000 logistics support personnel. ”
Su Jiudong was dumbfounded by the real data, but Su Fenglan hadn't finished speaking: "Among the 600,000 soldiers, there are 120,000 cavalry, and the horses used for logistics and transportation support are even more than double, so the horses used in this expedition are at least more than 300,000. ”
"This time, our troops set out in three ways, each leading 300,000 troops, and then converged at the Western Surrender City... Your father and I have been marching and fighting for so many years, and it is the first time that you can lead a total of 900,000 troops! ”
Su Jiudong was surprised: "Qin destroyed Chu only 600,000, and Fu Jian conquered only 800,000. We actually have 100,000 more than Fu Jian and them this time! ”
Su Fenglan raised his head proudly and said proudly: "That's!" The army of the Great Yin Dynasty on this expedition has a total of 900,000 troops, known as a million army to the outside world, the number is huge, and the scale is strong, which is enough to make the army of the Sujin Kingdom frightened! ”
"Daddy is mighty! The number of leaders this time is unprecedented, and they will definitely be able to defeat Su Jinguo! Su Jiudong praised from the bottom of his heart.
"By the way, this time you don't follow my team, you have to follow Wen Zichu." Su Fenglan earnestly advised: "My team wants to be a real enemy, and I don't feel at ease if you follow me." Only by following Wen Zichu can he protect you, and Daddy and I can feel more at ease. ”
The meaning of Su Fenglan's words could not be refuted by Su Jiudong, and it was finally decided that Su Jiudong would follow Wen Yiheng's East Route Army to set off on Hedong Road.
After the troops were ordered, Su Fenglan led the Middle Route Army from Guanzhong Road to the west to surrender the city. General Huaihua led the Western Route Army to set off from Longxi Road.
The Eastern Route Army led by Wen Yiheng finally set off, and after seeing Su Fenglan lead the army to leave, he silently motioned to Su Jiudong, who was in men's clothes, to follow his adjutant Mo Mingshan.
The champion general Wu Dechong followed Wen Yiheng on the right, Sima Weiye followed Wen Yiheng on the left, and the remaining 300,000 troops set off from Hedong Road.
The march was difficult, and the difficulties were self-evident, but Sima Weiye, as the envoy of the surrender, still "worked tirelessly" several times to find trouble with Wen Yiheng.
Going out to fight is the most taboo discord between generals, so Wen Yiheng didn't care about it at first. But later, if Sima Weiye went too far, Wen Yiheng would also respond strongly.
Although Wen Yiheng was able to successfully resolve and even fight back against Sima Weiye every time, and did not confiscate Sima Weiye's anger, Su Jiudong finally had a complaint for Sima Weiye.
Su Jiudong asked Mo Mingshan, the adjutant of Wen Yiheng beside him, and said: "Wen Xiang, as the generalissimo of the march, is the leader of the first position, why does Sima Weiye always pick on Wen Xiang?" Is his position as a surrendered envoy greater than that of a marching generalissimo? ”
"Every time he goes on an expedition, the Holy Lord will send a civilian official to each army as an envoy. The envoy represents the emperor, sees him as if he were a saint, and is not subject to the control of the generals who join the army. ”
"This time, the Holy Lord sent Sima Weiye as an envoy, which was recommended by the prince. Sima Weiye is an important figure in the prince's faction, and he has been dissatisfied with Wen Xiang for a long time, so he will target Wen Xiang. ”
Emperor Tianduo appointed Wen Yiheng as the generalissimo of the march to the northern frontier this time, which did not mean to break Wen Yiheng. Later, he agreed with the recommendation of the crown prince Yun Mulin to let Sima Weiye be the envoy of surrender, which also had the meaning of restricting Wen Yiheng's excessive power in the army.
Su Jiudong was slightly surprised: "If you are not under the control of the generals, and seeing him is like seeing a saint, isn't that a disguised higher than the generalissimo of the march?" What the hell is this surrendered envoy so famous?? ”
As the name suggests, an official who accepts the surrender of the enemy's army. If the enemy comes to surrender, in order to show the etiquette of our Great Yin Dynasty, I will send a surrendered envoy to meet with the enemy army and return it to my Great Yin Dynasty. ”
Although it is said that Sima Weiye, the surrendered envoy, is equivalent to Emperor Tianduo, Wen Yiheng and Mo Mingshan privately do not agree with the position of surrendered envoy.
As long as Sima Weiye doesn't become a demon, they still won't take the so-called big man of the surrender to heart.
The army marched along the east road of the river towards the surrendered city to the west. Sima Weiye was still dissatisfied with Wen Yiheng at first, but after Wen Yiheng's clever response, Sima Weiye finally stopped and became peaceful.
However, before the 300,000 troops led by Wen Yiheng arrived at the Xishou Surrender City, they had their first confrontation with the Sujin army ambushed here when they passed through the city of Ugo, another border city near the Sujin Kingdom.
