Chapter 663: Chi Jie

On the road from the three cities of Heyang to Tianjing Pass, the cars and horses are jammed and the army is moving forward.

In the middle, on the huge shoulder, He Jin, the general of the Han Dynasty, was making a straight face, angry with someone. The staff of the counselor around him and the palace people who served him did not dare to come out, for fear that he would become the one who was angry.

These people know why He Jin is like this, he is not the right to the defense of the three cities of Heyang, He Jin's brother, He Rong, the captain of Heyang, has to persuade He Jin to stay in Heyang?

And this is what He Jinqi is.

Why does everyone advise themselves not to go north, why do they all look down on themselves, thinking that they will definitely lose the battle? I He Jin is indeed not a general, but I am not a general, Wei Qing, a general who is not a general, is a wolf, so why is it difficult to fight a Taishan thief by myself?

Originally, when he was in Kyoto, Wang Qian of the shogunate annoyed him, and now that he has come out, his own clan brother does not believe in him.

If it weren't for this kid's real surname He, he would definitely punish He Rong severely. Thinking of this, he thought of the fake brother He Miao again, it is said that this kid and Liu Hong were idle after they ran to the west, and now they don't know if they are still alive.

Hmph, it's better to die.

Thinking of this, He Jin was happy for a while, and he also dispelled a lot of the unhappiness just now.

But the thought turned again, and He Jin's face fell again.

He suddenly thought that if he really lost this battle, wouldn't he be even worse than He Miao? As a result, the mood took a sharp turn and became even more unhappy.

And the people of the temple who had been watching He Jin carefully saw that He Jin's face was like a big dye vat, one would be red, one would be green, and one would be black.

These temple people used to be in the palace, but after the Manna Change, they were sent to the shogunate and began to serve He Jin. After a long time, these temple people also have an understanding of He Jin.

He Jin, it's usually okay, but he treats them politely, and there are very few beatings and scoldings. But there is one thing that is very fatal, that is, once He Jin falls into a state of thinking, the whole person is very easy to be manic, and if someone disturbs him at this time, it will be light to be clamped.

It is precisely because of this that with He Jin's shoulders as the center, they all show a state of low pressure.

But He Jin's side was low, but the rest of the team was happy.

On this expedition, He Jin gathered 50,000 troops, so what are the components of these armies?

Maybe He Jin didn't know that there might not be many real soldiers in the army he was carrying at this time. In this huge crowd, there are wealthy teenagers, floating waves in the market, and even some peddlers and pawns abound.

Didn't He Jin lead a new army trained with the Northern Army as the core? How so.

In fact, the new army at the beginning was indeed a good fighting division, with the Northern Army of the Yellow Turban Army as the core, and unified the elite of the powerful troops in the Kwantung region, and won many awards on the battlefield of Cuihan.

But contrary to what many laymen think, it is actually very difficult to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army. It may be a few battles, or a period of law and order, and the combat effectiveness of the army will quickly decay.

Sadly, with several civil strife in the Kwantung court, military experts were constantly killed, or they left the center like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, which made a large number of laymen begin to preside over the construction of the new army.

In the eyes of these people, the army is the number on the military register, the consumption of grain and grass, and as for the specific combat strength, that is, they have watched a few performances of martial arts, and even this kind of military exercises have been watched a few times and have not watched them.

They naively think that the combat strength of the army is a permanent proof, but they don't know that it is the same as muscles, once you don't train for days, your beautiful muscles will disappear, and they will be replaced by a lump of fat.

And now this fat piece is the army led by He Jin.

After many princes in the Kwantung region began to harbor their own ghosts, the sphere of influence of the Kwantung court continued to shrink. Kyoto, which was originally able to raise 200,000 troops, could barely maintain 100,000 troops.

Of these 100,000 troops, about 20,000 were on the Baguan in the Luoyang Basin, 20,000 were on the Kuohan battlefield in the west, and the remaining 60,000 were almost the Northern Army guarding Kyoto.

These 60,000 northern troops were superior to the northern armies of other towns in terms of equipment and food, but the glitz and comfort of Kyoto greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of these Kyoto soldiers.

What's even worse? That is, a large number of floating waves and people in Kyoto have been attached to the Northern Army to avoid hard labor.

In the past, when the human and financial resources of the Kanto region were all returned to the imperial court, these Kyoto people naturally did not have to work hard, but now that it is difficult, then it doesn't matter if it is grass on the edge of the nest, first catch it and eat enough.

But it's a pity that your court thinks so, but you must also be able to do it. As soon as you began to be conscripted into labor according to your nationality, the people who had the means to do so began to drag their families into the army.

Originally, in terms of physique, these Kyoto people ate well and were well-informed, and they were not a kind of high-quality soldiers. For example, Kyoto Castle has the highest literacy rate in the world, and anyone you can find can be useful in the military.

In addition, in the past, the Han family had always pursued a policy of supporting Kyoto with the world, and even if most of the resources were used in the hands of the upper class, a little leakage to the bottom also allowed the market to enjoy enough dividends.

For example, Kyoto obviously does not produce millet, but the price of millet here is extremely low, and even Cangcheng often has the welfare of giving Chen rice, so the Han people know it, but all dogs want to live in Kyoto.

Because there, the dog is really well fed.

In such an environment, it can be said that you can eat enough, you can study, and you can also practice martial arts with some veterans of the Luotuo Northern Army who are unwilling to return to their hometowns.

But it's a pity that Bao Jianfeng comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.

Those old Northern troops are all from the border areas, these people listen to the drums, practice martial arts, practice the blade, and finally grow into heroes in the army in the border war.

But what about Kyoto? Bao Gejia, pinning the blade, the old man does not hear the sound of war, even if he is strong and loves the tug-of-war, he is happy to fight privately.

But what? Once something happens, these people tremble, and they can't see the martial arts in private fights at all. The strong physique trained by the tug-of-war will not be able to wear armor, pure embroidered pillows.

Therefore, if there are more such people in the army, how can their military morale and combat effectiveness be good.

And that's better to say. In practical terms, these people are even famous in the army, but in fact they all have their own livelihood and errands.

The Kyoto of the Han Dynasty is the pearl of the hearts of all the Han people, and even the biggest dream of those little princes on the Silk Road is to live in Kyoto.

But when you do get to Kyoto, you will find that Kyoto is huge, and it is the largest capital in the whole world, and hundreds of thousands of people live here.

But at the same time, Kyoto is small because everyone here is framed in the same big net, and everyone has their own patron, and everyone has their own benefactor.

Maybe the back of the Hu Cake Seller in the West Market has been traced back to the minister and boss in Buguangli.

In this city, every powerful big man has his own group of doormen who help them with things. Some are on the surface, and some are in the shadows.

So don't look at the fact that there are a lot of people in Kyoto, but none of them are superfluous.

Almost all of the people who were recruited into the military benefited from these big people, on the one hand, they were able to install people in the army and obtain information, and on the other hand, they avoided labor and allowed their subordinates to do more.

So what is the combat effectiveness of these northern armies in Kyoto, these people know very well that the one who is really kept in the dark is the general He Jin.

Why did Wang Qian oppose He Jin and send troops? It was because he knew that the Kyoto Kanto soldiers at this time were the most miscellaneous. These people are so active that they will run away when something happens. If a man flees, a hundred people fan each other, and if an army is scattered, all armies will be killed.

Therefore, where did He Jin bring Kanto athletes, they were a group of Kyoto soldiers.

Lao He didn't know anything about this, and he was still suffering from internal friction in that huge and gorgeous shoulder.

……

At the front of the Kwantung Army, the entire procession was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and most of the sergeants regarded this march as a spring outing.

Kyoto people, March spring outing is the fun of the children of the minister, and now they can also have this fun, beautiful.

You know, this was not the case when these people first set out from Kyoto.

When the shogunate came to send 100,000 troops to the battle, these floating waves in the market were as good as mourning, and the father and son cried with each other, thinking that they would die if they went on the expedition.

Some of those who had goods at home were busy hiring the poor from outside the city to fill the army in their place. Later, because there were more people to hire, the price of this mercenary also rose, so that the Chinese family could not afford this price.

In this way, on the day of the expedition, the five armies and the soldiers of the cymbals and drums added up to 50,000.

Fortunately, there are still a large number of military officers in the army, so that the army will not collapse on its own halfway.

And as I walked, the Kyoto floaters also found a wonderful point.

That is, this road is really magnificent, the post stations along the line replenish their military supplies, and they can also loot from time to time, and those people dare not resist.

At this time, these floating waves felt a glimmer of pleasure in power, which was much stronger than serving those big people in Kyoto.

It seems that the world is in chaos, and being a soldier is the best way out.

After tasting the pleasure of holding the troops in hand, these people listened to the army one after another, and this time the general took them to Tianjing Pass, and did not leave Hanoi at all.

How far is Hanoi's Tianjing Pass from Kyoto, and I'm afraid there is no one for 200 miles, right? Once the news was confirmed, the whole march became more casual and loose, no different from a large spring outing.

The floating waves in Kyoto may not have much ability, but they are consciously grasping this piece to death, and many people have begun to analyze there, how will the general be this time, and then what will happen to the Taishan army?

How dangerous do you say it is to fight? In their opinion, that's what it is.

Dead person? Where don't people die? They are fighting for the entrance to the market in Kyoto's West Market, which time will not die a dozen? That's it.

The Tarzan army is vicious? How evil can it be? Is there a great general Liang Ji evil? At that time, eunuchs and relatives fought all day long on the streets of Kyoto, didn't they still live the same life?

To say that the old Kyoto people are indeed well-informed, they have really seen the market, and there is also pride, back then, we, the world's tribute and romantic figures, which is not in Kyoto?

Even to say that it is a big disapproval, if the Taishan army really has that luck and is invincible, what can they do if they throw away their weapons and surrender? When the time comes, when you return to Kyoto, you will be able to shop the houses on the streets of Risha, and you will be able to eat and drink without worry.

In short, no matter how chaotic the world is, we Kyoto people can still live a beautiful life, who comes, don't we need them?

Once you think so clearly, you don't have to worry about the future.

At this time, some sergeants in the former army were muttering quietly.

These people are dressed in embroidered clothes and shoes, and they are a little dusty, but the whole is very decent. They did not wear armor or carry spears, which they put in the cart behind them.

When an old soldier behind them saw this, he was angry in his heart, and scolded in his heart:

"These pawn peddlers, it doesn't matter if they don't wear armor, after all, they are on the march, but they are even willing to carry spears, and they really regard the war as child's play!"

But the old army also scolded in his heart, because he knew that it was useless to say it, and even these people couldn't be provoked.

Don't look at these people as their subordinates in theory, but which one doesn't have many mansions in Kyoto to collect rent? At least tens of thousands of dollars at home.

And one of the old soldiers also knows, it is a famous person in the West Market who gives money, I don't know how many big people have colluded, anyway, the top of the old army himself has let go of the money with this family.

The relationship behind this, I dare not think.

Thinking of this, the old army is also powerless, he is a typical child of the Northern Army, who has accumulated merit and defended Kyoto abroad, but he has been busy for half his life, he has leveled the thieves, killed the small people, cut down the northern captives, suppressed the moth thieves, and finally was coerced into becoming a rebel, and returned to Kyoto in a daze.

Then came the long civil war, and his passion and last loyalty were consumed on the battlefield of Kuohan. The rest just want to live the rest of your life well.

But after half a busy life, he was ashamed to find that he didn't even have a place to stay in Kyoto. He sold blood for the Han family for half his life, dedicated his entire youth, and finally couldn't even afford a mansion.

In the end, the old soldier could only return to the barracks, where he was quite useful.

Thinking of this, the old army sighed:

"What the hell is wrong with this big man? In the first half of my life, the Han was still spreading power all over the world, is it going to send the Han to the grave in the second half of my life? ”

Looking at the peddlers, the old soldier holding his spear, he had a very strong feeling that this time he might be going to die.

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of relief.

But if this veteran can hear what these individuals in front of him say, his feelings may be more complicated.

Among these people, the leader was the one who gave money to the house, and he was whispering to his companions:

"I heard from my family that we should be clever in this battle, and if the Taishan army comes, we will immediately defect."

Seeing that the left and right companions were still suspicious, the man revealed a little more:

"What do you know? My family has already contacted the people of the Taishan Army, we are from the market, not within the scope of the Taishan Army's attack, and when the time comes, the credit is not appropriate? ”

Their group of people are all small and medium-sized traders in the West Market, and they have always been well-informed, and they still know a lot about the policies of the Taishan Army, and they know that the person is right.

As long as the Taishan Army has land and floating wealth, as long as it is not against the Taishan Army, it can generally be kept.

So the hearts of the people were settled.

At this time, he rode from the gallop, holding a feather sheath, and shouted excitedly:

"There was a big victory ahead, Lu Bu broke the thief army in Luxian County, killed 5,000 enemies, won a military seal, and countless military flags."

This horse just passed the victory report sent by Lu Bu to He Jin, He Jin was overjoyed, directly named Lu Bu as a marquis, and asked the whole army to spread this good news.

Sure enough, no matter what they thought, when they heard this victory, they all raised their arms and shouted.

On the road for dozens of miles, the cheers moved the heavens and the earth.

Pride from the bottom of our hearts for all:

"Our big man is still the big man, strong!"

At this moment, everyone really felt that there was hope for Dahan.

As a result, the morale of the three armies was full of spirit, and they went towards the patio pass in front of them and showed off their strength.

Precisely:

"Beibi Mo got on the car and rode Xiao, and the king of Kyoto withered."

"The flag is colorful and plugged the road, and the pawn of the West City has a sword at the waist."

"The rear army has only left Heyang City, and the front has heard good news."

"The poor general is heavy-spirited, and the cloud platform is falling on the silk flags."
