Chapter 11 Return to the city for reward
Tuhe is careful to destroy the enemy, kill the thief, and burn the enemy's grain and grass. Thanks to Sheji, he was promoted to the general of the Moon Wolf Army of the Central Protector Army today, and took office immediately. Lead the Moon Wolf Army back to the county seat of Yangjun County to ensure the supply of food, grass and baggage for our army. Looking at this young general who had just been promoted and had made many achievements, Xiao Yi was really happy. It stands to reason that this Zhongjun is the Praetorian Guard to protect him, and most of them are served by the Gaomen clan and the generals, like Hua Ming. And Tu Hejin's family is almost a poor family in Xingzhou.
In Zixin County, Criminal Prefecture, there are not a few troops to be sent, and there is not much to pay in taxes. However, it is often necessary to call for help to suppress the rebellion of the savages. Therefore, in the political landscape of Star City, Zixin County is almost in a state of absolute marginalization. The Central Guard Army was divided into six armies, which were adapted from the palace guards when they did not go to the emperor. Originally, according to the military system of the Great Ji Empire, the vassal king's guard army could only have five armies at most, and the six armies were the establishment of the Son of Heaven's Praetorian Guard. But after Xiao Yi went to the emperor, except for changing the name of the Praetorian Guard, the others did not make adjustments.
Now the Central Protector Army is divided into, Dragon Guard Army, Black Tiger Army, White Phoenix Army, Moon Wolf Army, Town Bear Army, and Blood Lion Army. Among them, the Long Wei Army and the Bai Feng Army each had 5,000 people, who were responsible for protecting Xiao Yi and his princess Cai. The Black Tiger Army is a heavy cavalry equipped with Longyuan horses purchased from the Western Army, and its duty is to fight in the field. The Moon Wolf Army is mainly lightly armoured, and its duties are field battles and various patrols. The Bear Suppression Army and the Blood Lion Army are hoplites, with Bear Suppression Shield and Blood Lion Spear. Except for Long Wei and Bai Feng, the other four armies were all 3,000 people. There is also the Commander's Mansion under the command of the Central Protector Army, which has a guard battalion of 1,000 people and other auxiliaries.
After handling all kinds of handover affairs, Tu Hejin immediately got into the carriage with Luo Le, as the wounded number and general. Tuhe Jin finally enjoyed the carriage again.
Ah Jin, why did you attack them this time? When everything was over, Luo Le finally dared to ask this question. Attacking his comrades in the army was incompatible with the education and upbringing he had received over the years.
If you don't kill them, do you want to share the gold coins with them? Tu Hejin replied with a relaxed face and no concern. He felt a rare sense of ease at this moment, and when he really returned to Yangjun City, he must have a good night's sleep.
Gold coins can be earned again, but those brothers who lived and died together can't be resurrected. Luo Legao said that he couldn't understand why Ah Jin, whom he had known for five years, could be so quiet after killing several of his comrades in the army.
And what about my current position as a general? You have also made meritorious service this time, and you will soon be promoted to the rank of captain. Can this also be obtained by meritorious service?
Yes. Ah Le's voice began to get lower.
You think that those people will become brothers in life and death after a few battles. Can it be entrusted with our lives? Don't be funny, if it weren't for King Liang's intention to build a new army and hone our new generals. Do you think these high gates will look at us squarely? Haven't you had enough of being looked down upon and bullied by them on a daily basis? The two of us risked our lives to make military achievements, why should they get a piece of the pie? Now that I'm a general, you're going to be a lieutenant, and those high-ranking dogs will look at you and me. Tu He's mouth was dry, and he didn't understand why he was suddenly excited. Originally, after fighting for a while, Xiao Yi didn't have any surprise when he rewarded him. At this time, there were some abnormal fluctuations in my heart.
But you shouldn't have killed ......
What you're trying to say is, if I kill them today, will I kill you tomorrow?
No.
It's not a ghost, we've been brothers for five years, and this time we've been brothers for life. Don't talk so much nonsense, kill together, get rich together, and get promoted together. Brother, my back is handed over to you. Let me sleep a little longer. If you think I'm heinous, just kill me with a knife.
With that, Tu Hejin lay straight in the carriage. Leaving a Luo Le to ponder alone, the first time he went to the battlefield, Luo Le not only killed many enemies, but also killed his own people. It is true that his heart is overturned, but if he wants to report the disciple Hejin or kill him, he is extremely reluctant in his heart. Over the past five years, the scenes have been emerging.
The two were beaten and scolded by others together, and when the two had no money, Tu Hejin gave his food over, and when the two were tempted by those beauties, Ah Jin gave his annual money to Ah Le to find a woman. Then after Ah Le was dumped and deceived, the two ate leftovers together and burned cold.
Brother, no matter what. We are brothers, but before we die, we must let me eat, drink, and have fun. Thinking of this, Ah Le said what he thought to Ah Jin.
A smile appeared on Tuhejin's lips, but he didn't notice it. He knew that in five years, he had not been in vain.
When he was promoted to a general, he had his own post house and guards. According to the military system of the Great Ji Empire, there will be two guards. However, Tu Hejin did not intend to go to the guards immediately, after all, the guards not only guarded their own safety, but also did many private things for themselves. He would never go to someone he couldn't trust.
Although the county seat of Yangjun is not prosperous now, it is by no means a dilapidated scene. Of course, it may also be because Tuhe Jin has seen Zixin County and Star City. As long as the head is not sick. I won't compare other cities in Xingzhou with Star City.
Before the military affairs were busy, and it was a cavalry and archery ceremony, Tuhe Jin has not come to see this city in detail. Now it's time to recuperate, and the 10,000 gold coins can already be put in their own post house, at this moment, there are not many high-level generals in Yangjun City, and the post house guarded by guards can be said to be the safest place, and the most important thing is that there is that foodie Luo Le.
On closer inspection, the style of this Yangjun town is very different from the southern counties along the way, and it is already similar to the style of the northern counties in the book, with wide streets in the city, the entire county town is in the shape of a tic-tac-toe, and the center is the Commander's Mansion. The buildings are not as flowery as Star City, there are fireworks everywhere, but you can see walls everywhere, and the houses here and there seem to be bunkers everywhere, and everywhere is full of neat and clean atmosphere, which is a scene that can never be seen in Star City. The pace of pedestrians is vigorous and fast, and many people still have a sense of slaughter. Tu He, who had been on the battlefield, knew that these people were all reserve soldiers or retired soldiers in Yangjun City, as long as they put on leather armor or chain armor and pick up swords. These people can go into battle and kill the enemy.
It is different from the lazy and prosperous Star City, with fireworks everywhere, and it is also different from the early twilight of Zixin, which is barren everywhere. The county seat of Yangjun is a huge military fortress, and all the people in it are part of this huge war machine. If you want to break through such a city, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky.
General Tuhe had just been promoted, so why didn't he go to celebrate his achievements with wine, and he didn't go to handle military affairs. Instead, he wandered around the streets. A weak and soft, but firm voice came, it was Mr. Yu.
If Mr. Bai has any advice, Tuhe should listen to it. Although he had already experienced battles, unconsciously, the courage in Tu Hejin's heart rose a lot. But in the face of this Mr. Yu, he always felt a little stunned in his heart, as if everything about himself could be seen through by him.
Tu Hejin, feel free to talk. Have you ever been to the North? Have you ever seen the danger of the great rivers in the north, and the danger of the skyscraper mountains?
I have never seen it, but I have only seen Zixin County, Star City, and this Yang County County.
Tell me what do you think is the difference between the three cities, and which city is the most difficult to capture?
Yangjun County is the strongest, followed by Zixin County, and Star City is the weakest.
Why? Mr. Yu immediately became interested, as a strategist, he had come into contact with many criminal generals, and few people had such a theory.
Star City has a population of six or seven hundred thousand, facing the river on three sides, guarding the natural danger, and the city has countless grains, grass, and military salaries, and you actually say that it is the weakest, which is very interesting. Be reasonable.
The ancients had a training, the mountains and rivers are victorious, and there is no danger in Germany.
Although Star City has money, food, soldiers and horses, faces the river on three sides, and has a very good location, it has no unscrupulous generals. The soldiers of Star City, the soldiers steal their lives, and the generals are afraid of death. And military discipline has been lax for a long time, although the sword is sharp and the armor is strong, it is difficult to dispatch, and tens of thousands of people fight like hooligans, which is really a rabble. Although Zixin County is barren, but the territory is mountainous, even if the city is not defended, escape into the mountains and forests, but it can also hold on for a long time, although the soldiers are weak, but familiar with the terrain of the mountains and forests. As for Yang County, the outer city is broken, and there is also the inner city, and every house and street can become a place of defense. The soldiers are not afraid of death and have been tested in battles for a long time. Therefore the city is the most fortified.
After saying that, he felt relaxed in his heart, and suddenly wondered why he was nervous. This is the feeling that you won't have when you see King Liang Xiaoyi.
What you said is true, I never thought you would have such knowledge. Yes, taught. Indeed, it is people who decide the outcome of a war. Who are you learning from, among the generals I have seen, there are few people like you.
I didn't have a master, but I have been studying the books left by my grandfather, and after coming to Star City, I often went to the Royal Library to borrow books. Tu He didn't know why, he would always tell the truth, in front of this Mr. Yu.
Your grandfather, I see. The book left is.
Compiled by Emperor Xianwu, nine books of martial arts.
It seems that today should be a big white thing. General Tuhe, would you like to go to the wine shop and have a few drinks with me?
I don't dare to ask for it.
Emperor Wu Xiao Tong, after becoming the emperor, in order to conquer in all directions and improve the military quality of the generals, he summoned many soldiers in the country to Yecheng at that time by the order of the emperor. It took seven years to complete the book. Later, after Emperor Wu conquered the Quartet and subdued the Quartet, he changed his book again, and also added a lot of military information on the terrain and customs of various places. Haohao soup soup is as many as hundreds of thousands of words, although it is called Wujing, it can be regarded as an imperial ceremony for the next emperor to govern the country. The content is not limited to martial arts.
Being able to obtain this book was also a gift from Tuheqing, who had made great achievements in the war, when he was made an earl. This book is actually the only relic left by Tuheqing to Tuhejin.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Gradually, he began to discover that drinking could really be a source of fun, and many of the doubts that had been in the past were resolved in this back-and-forth question-and-answer session. When you don't have to think hard, you can figure it out quickly after a glass of wine. And Mr. Yu also knows how to be measured, and rarely takes the initiative to solve doubts, but he has also been following the good path.
Before you know it, the lights are already lit.
General Tuhe, your talent for leading troops is truly extraordinary. And your vindictive talent has been observed by me several times, and it is definitely not bad. It's just that you don't have the right potion to help, and the exercises you are cultivating are not very suitable. When this war is over and I return to Star City, I should make a statement to King Liang. Mr. Yu said sincerely.
My talent?
Not bad, didn't you find out yourself? No matter where you go, what you encounter, or who you meet, you will think with a military mindset, and you will observe details that many people will not observe. If you can get a greater improvement in your fighting spirit, you will definitely be a famous general in the future. It's a pity that I'm not a soldier and can't guide you. Mr. Yu sighed a little when he said the last sentence. Indeed, as Tu Hejin said, although the criminal state is strong, it is still a barbarian land, and there are very few generals who are familiar with military books. Illiterate among soldiers is even more common.
