Chapter 19 Thousands of Miles to the Machine
Li Ji was obviously respected in the military tent, because after he sat down, the noise in the military tent automatically disappeared.
Li Ji swept the big tent of the Chinese army with his eyes that flashed like a chainsaw, and the people standing in the tent couldn't help but bow their heads, not daring to look at him.
It seemed that he didn't find a person who could use it to sacrifice the flag, Li Ji snorted dissatisfiedly: "I won't say much about the rules in the old man's tent, I know the way of nature, and if I don't know, I will understand it before cutting off my head."
The old man's military affairs this time are to destroy Goguryeo, as long as you destroy Goguryeo, no matter what dirty things you do, you can push it on the old man.
You can't destroy Goguryeo, even if you bravely crown the three armies and kill countless enemies, when the old man is uncomfortable and beheads you to vent his anger, don't shout injustice! ”
At this time, Li Ji had already changed from a respected old man to a murderous old bandit leader.
However, if you think about his background, you can understand that he is a bandit leader himself, and he is still the kind of invincible bandit leader.
After Yun Chu shouted "Woo" with other generals, he continued to stand straight and waited for Li Ji to continue his lecture.
Unexpectedly, Li Ji turned his head to look at Su Dingfang and said: "Old Su, the generals under the tent are all here, but whatever you like, you can take it away." ”
Su Dingfang opened his eyes and said: "Baekje is just a small land, and there is no need for many elite soldiers, but you have a hard time with the mountains and rivers along the way, just look at it and assign me some." ”
It's rude to say that.
After seeing the two muttering on it for a while, the marching commander Shi Jiangke took out a piece of paper full of people's names and began to roll call.
After all, Pei Xingjian was named and followed Su Dingfang directly out of the Chinese army's big tent, looking at Pei Xingjian's back, Yun Chu was very envious, because as long as he walked to Chengshan, he could take a boat to Baekje to fight, Yun Chu remembered very clearly, it only took thirty days for them to go ashore to destroy Baekje.
And thirty days is for the general manager of the march of Liaodong Province, he has not yet reached the edge of the Great Wall of Goguryeo.
I also heard that there is also a Liaoze more than 200 miles wide there - the Great Northern Wilderness in later generations.
Goguryeo is a real big country at this moment, with 700,000 households, plus the wild people, there will be no less than 600,000 people who control the strings, plus the Heishui Turtle will be even more.
It is the most powerful country east of Liaodong, and its territory is more than ten times the area of Silla and Baekje.
The Tang Dynasty army is only 260,000, and even if there are civilians with the army, it will not exceed 400,000.
When Su Dingfang left with his headquarters, Li Ji looked at the generals and officials standing below and said: "They are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they are all familiar with how to deal with the battle on the battlefield."
Remember, in this battle, the old man doesn't want you to have a whim, and I don't want you to make your own decisions, as long as you complete the old man's military orders.
As long as the military order is completed, even if you die in battle, the old man will ask for credit for you, those who dare to have whimsical ideas, those who dare to make their own claims, even if they win a big victory, the old man will not be spared.
As long as we proceed in accordance with the established strategy, there is absolutely no reason for failure in this operation.
This is the last lecture that the old man will give you, and after that, the old man will not say anything, but only look at your actions.
Now it's up to Changshi to make your first compilation. ”
Li Ji didn't say much, and it seems that there weren't many military orders, but this kind of thing was the most difficult to do.
According to general reasoning, as long as you abide by the military orders issued, the rest of the things can be done without taboos, and now, Li Ji only sets an ambiguous rule, which is very difficult to do, because you don't know that if you do those things, you will be beheaded.
The chief of the Liaodong Provincial Marching Army, Shi was Zuo Xiaowei's general Pang Tongshan.
Yun Chu was not very familiar with this person, and he had only met a few times.
Listening to the military training order he issued, Yun Chu found that Xue Rengui belonged to Qi Bi He Li belonged to the former army.
The Chinese army was controlled by Li Ji himself.
Yun Chu was unsurprisingly assigned to Hou Gaokan's rear army in Pingyuan County.
After everyone received the order, they left one after another, only Yun Chu stayed where he was, and after only Li Ji and others were left in the military tent, Li Ji looked at Yun Chu indifferently and said, "You want gunpowder?" ”
Yun Chu nodded and said, "The last general is in great need of gunpowder. ”
After Li Ji asked everyone to retreat, he looked at Yun Chu and said, "You did the Xianyang Bridge tragedy?" ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "No." ”
Li Ji said again: "You did the tragedy of the Tubo envoy group's annihilation?" ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "No." ”
Li Ji hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did you also bury the gunpowder under the stage?" ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "No! ”
Li Ji sighed and said, "The first two cases seem to have been done by Qiu Xinggong's father and son......"
After a moment of silence, Li Ji said again: "If you didn't put the gunpowder in Dianjiangtai, then this matter is very serious." ”
Yun Chu said softly: "Originally, the Dianjiangtai was frozen in ice, but when I went to the Dianjiangtai to capture the flag, I found that the Dianjiangtai was rebuilt. ”
Li Ji didn't seem to hear what Yun Chu said, and clasped his fingers on the table and said: "There is gunpowder, and there is no shortage of thunder bombs, but it is only after crossing the Liaoshui." ”
Yun Chu retreated when he heard this.
When Wen Rou saw Yun Chu, he found that he didn't bring gunpowder, and was very disappointed, and whispered, "Refuse to give it?" ”
Yun Chu said: "I will give it after crossing the Liaoshui." ”
Gentle and said: "Gao Kan, the general of the rear army, sent a herald over and ordered you to go to the big tent of the rear army to discuss matters." ”
Yun Chu glanced at the soldiers who were eating, and once again hurried to the military tent of Gao Kan of the rear army.
Gao Kan has always been called an old hen in the army.
Regarded as the kindest and best talkative general in the Tang Army, when Yun Chu arrived at the military tent, he found that he was the last to come, and after pleading guilty, he found a place to sit down.
Gao Kan said with a smile: "Everyone says that the county order of Wannian County is an invincible warrior who shuttles across the millions of troops. ”
Yun Chu knew that in the army, it was not a place for you to speak modestly, and this place had always only recognized the strong.
Then he arched his hand and said: "The general has an order, Yun Chu must move forward bravely." ”
Gao Kan pressed his hand and said: "Sit down, sit down, in the future, you will be a brother who stirs and eats in a pot, no need to be polite." ”
Waiting for Yun Chu to sit down, Gao Kan continued: "Other things can be laughed at, and the old man is also willing to share some of the burden with his subordinates, but there is no affection to talk about only the march and battle."
Do you fight, you are all people who have been on the battlefield, you know the truth that those who advance live and those who retreat die, the old man does not want to see the soldiers under his command die under the knife of the warlord, if possible, the old man is willing to give you a ride in person......"
Gao Kan also did not stipulate military discipline here, which is in line with Li Ji's practice.
Yun Chu could imagine that this was instilling pressure on the people present, and he could even imagine that this march would probably not be an easy trip.
Whether it is Li Ji or Gao Kan, they must end the drawbacks of the army not knowing the soldiers and the soldiers not knowing the generals on this long road.
Moreover, this is not only a matter of Li Ji and Gao Kan, but also Yun Chu's leading generals.
After all, for Li Ji, generals of Yun Chu's level are unfamiliar to him, and for Yun Chu, those brigade commanders who personally lead the troops are also unfamiliar.
It needs to be slowly run in on the road in the future.
On this day, Li Ji still took more than 50,000 people to eat two meals in Wannian County.
Before dawn, Su Dingfang left with 10,000 people, and he and Li Ji were both marching commanders, so it was not good to stay in a military camp.
Before leaving, Pei Xingjian wanted to ask Yun Chu for some medical officers, for this kind of thing, Yun Chu naturally would not overstep his bounds, Pei Xingjian's request was rejected by Lao He Yanci, and he also wanted some craftsmen, but he was also rejected by Lao Huang Yanci.
It's not that Pei Xingjian's army doesn't have medical officers and craftsmen, but there are no high-level people here in Yunchu.
In the end, I had to leave in a huff.
When Li Ji was marching, he didn't show any tricks, he was very regular, he had two meals a day and traveled eighty miles a day when he was marching.
Day after day, rain or shine.
Gradually, it was far away from Tongguan, away from Hangu Pass, away from Jinju, away from Bingzhou, and naturally away from Chang'an.
When Yun Chu faintly saw some ruined Great Wall on the distant mountains, the army had already entered Hebei Province.
On this way, the army has always taken the main road, and did not follow the route of Qin Shi Huanghuang to visit Qinhuangdao in the past.
Because, the states and counties on both sides of that road are no longer rich, and there is no way to provide enough food and supplies for the army.
By the time they arrived in Hebei Province, Li Ji's army had already numbered as many as 120,000.
The great army was endless, and it was thirty miles long.
Less than 100 miles away from Yanzhou, Li Ji once again issued an order to garrison the army.
Because of the marching under the scorching sun, Yun Chu's face once again returned to seventy percent of the appearance when he was in the Western Regions.
After watching the soldiers nail wooden stakes into the ground to build a camp for a while, Yun Chu returned to his military tent and said gently to those who were hurrying to make tea: "Do you regret it?" ”
Gently shook her head and said, "Don't see me as a speculator, this battle is too important for me not to come."
If I don't come, I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”
Yun Chu took a cup of canned tea and said in a low voice: "What do you think of Hebei Province?" ”
Gently sipped a sip of strong tea and said: "If you ask this sentence, it is better to ask me directly what I think of Shandong." ”
Yun Chu held the small teacup in both hands and said, "It's too poor, and it's too bitter." ”
Gently sneered: "This in itself is what Chang'an needs, isn't it?" ”
Yun Chu rubbed the teacup in his hand with both hands and said: "Cui Shi, the housekeeper of my family, once said that the land occupied by the nobles of Shandong is almost invisible, that is to say, there are more slaves in Shandong, and less homesteaders. ”
Wen Rou continued to sneer: "The national policy of tired Shandong, poor Shandong, and trapped Shandong has been going on for many years, and even in the former Sui period, what kind of heart are you now?" ”
Yun Chu smiled: "I want to know now, are you and me Guanlong or Shandong?" ”
Gently looked at Yun Chu's eyes and said: "My hometown is in Bingzhou, and your hometown doesn't know where it is, so neither Guanlong nor Shandong people want us." ”
