Chapter 173: The Army Kicks Out! Go to Dingxiang
In the ancient army, could a soldier who was assigned to the kitchen be a good soldier?
Basically, they are all greedy for life and afraid of death, and they haven't seen any big scenes.
This is not!
The kitchen soldier in front of him was picked up by Li Guang, and he immediately trembled with fright, and said in fear: "Old general, how dare I deceive you, the food that ordinary soldiers eat is really this!" ”
However, Li Guang said angrily: "Nonsense, before coming to the barracks, the big farmer Ling Sang Hongyang told the old man that this time His Majesty allocated a large amount of money and grain for the Battle of Mobei." Not to mention this moment, even in a year, only 100,000 cavalry can't eat all that food. ”
"That's a full 10% of my Han's money and grain taxes in the past two years!"
"Say, did you swallow these dog things?"
If it weren't for the fact that the kitchen soldier was being carried by Li Guang at this moment, I am afraid that he would have been so frightened that he would have knelt on the ground and shouted wronged.
Money aside.
It has nothing to do with them as cooks.
As for the grain?
He, a kitchen soldier, can swallow so much grain in the ground? Can't swallow it!
Let alone.
This is still in the Peking University Battalion, and every move of the kitchen soldiers is basically clearly seen by the soldiers.
Want to be greedy for food?
It's almost the same as living impatiently.
No, the kitchen soldier with an aggrieved face can only complain at the moment: "General Li, I'm just a kitchen soldier, what kind of food is sent on it, I can only cook with it!" ”
"If you don't believe it!"
"You can go to our kitchen soldiers and see what kind of moldy ingredients are made!"
Seeing this, Li Guang thought about continuing to question.
But Huo Guang, who was on the side, saw that the kitchen soldiers were about to be beaten by the old general, so he immediately snorted and said, "Why does the old general Li make things difficult for the cook?" ”
"That's the food for ordinary soldiers."
"If you also think that there is a problem here, why don't you advise Your Majesty with me?"
Admonition?
As a flying general, Li Guang is okay to kill the Huns.
He wouldn't do what he was told.
Because of the admonition.
Whether it is good or bad, it will make His Majesty the Emperor extremely dissatisfied and angry. If you can't help it, you will be angry at yourself, won't you lose a big one because of a small one?
So.
After Li Guang heard this, he let go of the kitchen in his hand and secretly glanced at Huo Guang again.
After this demeanor.
He silently withdrew his gaze and sighed: "It seems that there must be something strange here, it is really annoying to pity the 50,000 cavalry of my southern battalion to eat these pickled foods." ”
The words fell.
Li Guang pushed the "pickled food" to an inconspicuous place without a trace.
This gesture clearly shows that he doesn't want to eat this bowl of ordinary soldiers' food.
But how could Huo Guang let General Fei get his wish?
He immediately stepped forward, pushed the bowl of food in front of Li Guang, coughed, and said, "General Li, no matter how pickled this bowl of food is, this is what the soldiers eat." Since you have always advocated that the commander should share the weal and woe with his soldiers, then please eat! ”
was said by Huo Guangyi, Li Guang was a little embarrassed.
This type of food?
It's not as good as the game he hunted in the suburbs, how can he eat it?
Forthwith!
General Fei Li Guang pushed the food away again, and said with a serious face: "It is better to share hardship than to be sweet, and it is really sad for soldiers to eat this kind of moldy food." ”
"The old man has decided."
"I will personally speak to Your Majesty to improve the food of our soldiers."
However.
Regarding the old general's rhetoric, Huo Guang couldn't listen to it.
He only cared about pushing the food aside, put it in front of Li Guang again, and said, "It's still hot, eat it while it's hot, General Li, it's not delicious when it's cold." ”
Seeing that Huo Guang was so unreasonable.
General Li suddenly changed the topic and said, "Captain Huo, as a ministerial-level military official, you should have compassion for your subordinates. This food, what if the old man eats it or not, can he change the status quo if he eats it? ”
Huo Guang saw that he was almost forced.
He immediately took away the food, and then said with a smile: "General Li is right, what about the transfer of troops? ”
One mention of troop transfer.
Old General Li suddenly snorted: "No way! ”
Seeing that Li Guang refused, Huo Guang didn't say a word, then brought the food again and said, "If you can't even do the common suffering, the same happiness is even more nonsense." So, let's ask the old general to cook this bowl of 'food' first! ”
Li Guang: "."
“.”
The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and they didn't see anyone compromise. Huo Guang did not get the transferred soldiers, and Li Guang did not eat the meals of ordinary soldiers.
It's just that.
Both of them have their own things to do, so naturally they can't delay too long on the issue of eating.
This is not!
After a stalemate for a long time, Li Guang left the tent, and Huo Guang also walked out of it.
And Huo Guanggang came out.
Lin Yaoqing and Yan Xiao, who were waiting outside the camp tent, came up and asked, "Captain Huo, has General Li Guang agreed to transfer troops?" ”
"Say yes!"
Huo Guang said angrily.
This Li Guang is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard.
Expecting some troops to be transferred from his front army is a fool's dream.
Lin Yaoqing and Yan Xiao, seeing that Huo Guang was in a bad mood, didn't speak, maybe they were afraid that Huo Guang would be angry with them, right?
Then.
After thinking for a while, Huo Guang knew that there was little hope of transferring troops here in Li Guang, so he asked, "Lin Dubo, but there are other generals who asked me to go to their camp to sit down?" ”
When Lin Yaoqing heard this, he nodded and said: "Captain Huo, the right general Zhao Shiqi, the later general Cao Xiang, the later general Cheng Buzhi, and the school captain Gongsun Ao"
Lin Yaoqing didn't finish his words.
Huo Guang directly stretched out his hand and interrupted: "Okay, okay, it's enough to say one, and I don't bother to remember it if I say too much." ”
"Let's go find that right general Zhao Shiqi first!"
"See what he says?"
After making a decision, the three of them walked towards the camp of Zhao Shiqi, the right general.
After entering the tent.
When he saw that the right general Zhao Shiqi's face was full of anger like Li Guang's, he immediately smiled slightly and said, "Right general, I have always respected you."
“.”
“.”
The same set of words, used here by General Zhao Shiqi, is completely different from Li Guang's side.
After all.
Huo Guang had never offended Zhao Shiqi before.
The two can be said to have not even intersected!
Of course.
This may still be for the sake of General Wei Qing's face, so that Zhao Shiqi did not have a hard time with Huo Guang.
After waiting for the right general's tent.
Yan Xiao and Lin Yaoqing stepped forward and asked, "Captain Huo, has this General Zhao agreed?" ”
Huo Guang nodded and said, "Yes, I said that I agreed to transfer two hundred elite soldiers to me, let me wait first." ”
When Yan Xiao heard this, he immediately stepped forward and patted his ass and said, "It's still Captain Huo who has a way, amazing!" ”
Lin Yaoqing couldn't see Yan Xiao's villainous face, and immediately said: "You will flatter and brag afterwards!" ”
Yan Xiaofu Huo Guang, that is because Huo Guang's military position is half a level higher than Yan Xiao.
Lin Yaoqing is half a level lower than Yan Xiao.
Immediately!
Yan Xiao replied: "What, Lin Dubo thinks what I said is wrong?" Or do you think there is something wrong with Captain Huo's method! ”
Lin Yaoqing immediately said: "I didn't say that Captain Huo's method is problematic, it's just that I feel disgusted by your flattery!" ”
Yan Xiao couldn't bear it anymore when he saw that he was humiliated, and said: "Presumptuous, Lin Yaoqing, this deputy lieutenant is your superior, you dare to contradict me?" ”
Lin Yaoqing was about to talk back again.
Then.
Huo Guang was quarreled by the two, and immediately snorted: "Shut up for me, what are you arguing about?" Why don't you come over to General Cheng? ”
The two of them heard this.
Then they both bowed their heads.
They don't have Huo Guang's background and relationship, and they dare to say those things to those general-level bigwigs in the army, I'm afraid they don't want to die.
Seeing that the two did not speak.
Huo Guang nodded and said, "It's not noisy, is it?" Okay, keep doing things. This time, let's go to General Cheng's! ”
"No!"
Then Huo Guang came to General Cheng again, and began to concoct the same method.
That's it.
After going back and forth, Huo Guang angrily raised the issue of food for ordinary soldiers in front of the generals, and it gradually spread in the army.
In the past, there was General Wei Qing sitting in the southern camp, and no one dared to gossip.
Now it's different.
In the absence of the general, the southern battalion was controlled by figures of various general ranks.
There are also disagreements between generals.
This has led to the formation of factions among its soldiers.
But none of that matters.
The important thing is that since the departure of General Wei Qing, all kinds of rumors have spread in the Nanda camp, and the main reason is the reason for this faction.
Man!
Everyone has a heart of gossip, and men and women are the same.
Thereupon.
As soon as the rumors were spread, Huo Guang's rumors about the soldiers' food in the army began to spread.
Of course.
Among them, there is no lack of credit for Lin Yaoqing and Yan Xiao.
Wait for this to come up.
Huo Guang brought a lot of goodwill in the army, but unfortunately, the goodwill did not play a big role.
The generals didn't let go, and the soldiers didn't dare to jump to Huo Guang without permission.
For this.
Huo Guang decided to make things bigger.
This is not!
He asked Lin Yaoqing to go to Chang'an, asked him to find the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and pulled a few carts of fresh ingredients, including meat.
Wait for the fresh ingredients to arrive.
Huo Guang ordered the kitchen soldiers to start cooking, brought delicious meals to the school field, and specially took advantage of the large number of people on the school field to pull his 100 people up for training.
Training.
Those who have excellent grades eat meat, those who are good drink soup, and those who are poor also have fresh meals to eat.
Training is common, but gourmet rewards are uncommon.
The soldiers from other people's armies on the school field came over to join in the fun, and looked at Huo Guang's 100 people eating meat and drinking soup and making a sound, and suddenly couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
Thereinto.
Some bold soldiers asked, "Captain Huo Guang, I can shoot my arrows accurately, can I come and drink some soup?" ”
Huo Guang immediately smiled and said, "Shoot accurately? If you shoot accurately, you should eat meat, what kind of soup to drink! ”
The soldiers' eyes lit up and they asked, "Really?" ”
Really didn't answer the question directly, Huo Guang asked curiously: "Then whose subordinates are you?" ”
The soldiers replied, "We are from the front army!" ”
"Forward? Fei General Li Guang's subordinates, oh, that's a pity. The old general's attitude is resolute, I proposed to improve the soldiers' food, but he disagreed! Huo Guang smiled and waved his hand, which was considered to have rejected their request.
Thereupon.
This group of people could only watch Huo Guang and the hundreds of people eating meat and drinking soup, so unhappy.
To know!
The contradiction between people is the inequality of wealth.
The contradictions between soldiers and soldiers are not bad, that is, they are treated differently.
All the same soldiers.
Obviously Lao Tzu is better, why is the food deducted? It's clear that they don't train well, why do they eat meat and drink soup?
It's not.
Huo Guang operated for a while.
The contradiction came out.
After the key contradiction came out, the soldiers could not say that they could not see that the soldiers of Captain Huo ate meat, and they could not eat it themselves.
Thereupon.
They put the breakthrough point of this contradiction on the issue of food.
The food at this stage is obviously not as good as it is said in the recruitment of warriors into the camp, all day long, it is moldy soybeans and messy staple food, even worse than what they eat at home?
I've never seen meat dishes.
Who can stand this!
Thereupon!
Unconsciously, there was a rumor in the Nanda camp supporting Huo Guang to investigate the issue of military rations.
Under the fuss.
Things went out of nowhere, and there were faint signs of breaking away from Huo Guang's control.
And on this very day!
Wei Qing, a general who has never seen the tail of the dragon, was actually released back by Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. As soon as Wei Qing came back, the leaderless Nan Camp suddenly had a backbone.
As for the food?
There's nothing that can't be solved with one meal of meat, and if there is, it's two.
Wei Qing's method of dealing with the problem is very simple, if the soldiers have a need to eat meat, then give it to meat. The question of money and food should not be asked first, and the important thing is that there should be no mutiny in the army.
In the event of a mutiny.
It was a dead man, and it was a river of blood.
After calming the emotions of the soldiers, the general did not need to investigate the problem of military ration deduction.
Why is the food of ordinary soldiers moldy and rotten?
He didn't ask.
Instead, it brought an explosive news, and the army marched out and set off directly towards Daijun.
Meanwhile.
Another Beida battalion, led by the champion Hou, also set out to Dingxiang.
Both armies were dispatched at the same time.
It's obvious.
This is Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who is going to war against the Xiongnu in Mobei.
Thereupon!
After a good meal and drink, the soldiers of the southern battalion began to set off and march towards Daijun.
In fact, Huo Guang at this moment really wanted to go to Beidaying and inform his brother that when he attacked the Xiongnu, he should not drink the stream water of Mobei. The cattle and sheep that had been put into it by the sorcerers of the Huns had been killed by the plague, and the water quality had been insulted and could not be drunk.
But alas.
The soldiers of the Beida Battalion went directly to Dingxiang.
The soldiers of the southern battalion were going to Dai County.
Both sides departed from Chang'an, and if they went directly to their original destinations, there would be no possibility of meeting.
Huo Guang's reminder was also in vain.
And on the way to the march.
The general Wei Qing specially called Huo Guang over and criticized him for amplifying the contradictions between ordinary soldiers' meals before: "Captain Huo, do you know that your actions may cause the army to mutiny?" ”
Huo Guang immediately shook his head and said, "General, I didn't expect so much. It's just that I can't see any rumors and slanders, saying that the Wei family has deducted military rations, so the contradiction is magnified. ”
However, Wei Qing snorted: "That's just the reason? ”
Huo Guang shook his head and said, "There is another reason, Your Majesty has appointed me as a captain, but there are only 100 cavalry under my command so far." I wanted to bring some troops in the army, but the generals wouldn't let them go! ”
For this to say.
General Wei Qing criticized again, and said: "Confused, the generals don't let go of the troops for you, and you can't mess around!" ”
At this moment, Huo Guang had to listen to his uncle's words and did not dare to refute.
After the army had traveled for half a day, suddenly, an urgent secret message came from the rear.
It was the edict of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty.
This made Wei Qing, the general who was criticizing Huo Guang, have to stop and start to look at the secret report sent by Liu Che urgently.
Wait until you've seen it.
Wei Qing's eyebrows had already made a mess, and after thinking about it, he said to Huo Guang: "Captain Huo, I order you to go and inform General Li Guang of the forward army, the army has changed its route and set off for Dingxiang!" ”
Heading to Dingxiang?
Hear the words.
Huo Guang frowned slightly and said, "General, isn't Dingxiang County the place where my brother's Beida Battalion should be stationed?" Why go there all of a sudden? ”
