Chapter 16: Patrol

It was only when the generals dispersed that Xinling Jun relieved himself. He listened to the command just now, but he didn't understand the meaning at allβ€”even though every word was clear. This made Xin Lingjun feel a little uneasy in his heart: "Mang Mao is about to return to Daliang, how can he bear this work!" He subconsciously glanced at Jin Contempt: "Do you want to hand over all the affairs of the army to him?" Thinking of this, helplessness and unwillingness rose in Xinlingjun's heart: Time is running out!

As the prince of Wei, Xinlingjun's education included military education, and he himself loved the military, and he paid attention to it in peacetime. But the command of these thousands of troops, those usual toys don't even need the slightest, no, almost completely out of bounds!

After Mang Mao gave the order, he also made up his mind slightly, turned his head to look at Xinling Jun, and asked politely: "The minister's distribution can be called the meaning of the son?" ”

Xin Lingjun hurriedly replied: "The general has the overall situation in mind, is meticulous, and admires without taboo!" ”

Mang Mao hurriedly replied: "The minister doesn't dare. Today's account has been conformed, the minister is no longer a general, and every move of the minister is the order of the son. ”

Xinling Jun said: "Wuji is young and ignorant, and I hope that the general will help him." ”

Mang Mao said: "The son is called, he doesn't dare not disobey, only the king has an order, and he should set off after the handover!" ”

Xin Lingjun glanced at Jin Con again, but Jin Con still sat indifferently and did not say anything. Xinlingjun could only say to Mangmao: "During the handover, General Shangwang will give advice!" ”

Mang Mao replied: "How dare the minister! The generals have only seen it before and after; The Chinese army will be handed over when the camp is moved! Now is the time of the morning meal, the son deigns to make some war rice under the tent! ”

Xinling Jun bowed and said: "How dare you talk about it! ”

Mang Mao said: "The son does not give up, and the minister is honored!" That's it! ”

Jin Cong interjected: "There is still some time before the rice is cooked, can you patrol the camp!" ”

Mang Mao said: "The minister has this intention, but he doesn't dare to ask for it!" Unexpectedly, the doctor said it first. After speaking, he stood up, dusted the dirt on his knees, and bowed to the two: "Childe, please!" The two returned the salute, and the three walked out of the tent door back and forth. After exiting the account, some halberd-wielding guards walked behind him. Mang Mao said to them: "Prepare the car and go to the battalions to inspect it!" The guards understood, and a few people went to the back to prepare the car.

Mang Mao seemed to understand the reality that Xin Lingjun didn't know anything about the basic common sense in the army, and pointed around at the door of the tent: "There are five people in the army, ten people, and each of them is the commander and the chief." After camping, ten people shared a fire, so they were also called 'gangs'. Five groups are companions, two companions are pawns, also known as Lu, and there are more than 100 people in Gayin Lu. The companion can push one person as the longest, and the pawn will follow the order. Five pawns are battalions, and battalions have divisions; Two battalions are schools, and the school has a rate; The five schools are biased, and there are benefits; The two are armies, and the army has generals. All in all, the system in the army is like a man with two hands and five fingers in his hands, and it is made up in this way. Driving the army is like waving two hands, forward or backward, left or right, divided or combined. ”

Xinling Jun's heart suddenly lit up, and he praised: "The general's words, no taboo to understand!" Dare to ask about the method of camping? ”

Mang Mao said: "Camp and camp, naturally the camp first." The campers are fenced by trees, and the soldiers in the camp are bounded by firewood and grass. The pawns are divided into left and right, and one companion on the left and right is a group of five. The five pawns are either square or round, or front and back, each depending on the terrain. The two battalions were separated by a hundred paces, and their eyes and ears were in contact but not in contact. Military schools should be close to each other by mountains and rivers, and each should be important and cannot be scheduled. Or three miles and five miles, or ten miles and twenty miles, you always need to anticipate the opportunity. The minister led the three armies, and the company camped for thirty miles. From start to finish, it is not a one-day approach. Under the order, it has to be passed on lightly. Speaking of this, Mang Mao also glanced at Jin Contempt.

At this time, several guards arrived in three carriages. Mang Mao was the first to board the first carriage, stood in the driver's position, took the bridle, and said to Xinling Jun and Jin Contempt: "The minister is here to lead the way!" Then he said to the guards, "General, go to camp, add an axe!" ”

The guards entered the tent and took out a bronze sword. At this time, Xinlingjun and Jin Cong had already boarded the car, standing on both sides of Mangmao, one left and one right. The guard presented the bronze Yue on the left side of the car, Xin Lingjun took the Yue and held it in his hand, and suddenly a heavy feeling from his hand to his heart: "Is this the burden to bear?" He saluted back with a serious look on his face and stood in the car. Mang Mao shook the reins lightly, and the chariot drove out gently.

Mang Mao looked straight ahead, and said while driving: "You can't rush in the army, you can only walk slowly." The three armies are biased to the left and right, the left side is 5,000 soldiers, and the right side is the militia, and one side is afraid of 1,200 miles. The militia is different from the military soldiers, each according to the liyi, from the head of the liyi, but send a military soldier or a partial lieutenant.

"The five schools and ten battalions of the Chinese army are on the left, and they are camped according to the water grass, and the two armies are on the left side of the Chinese army, each according to the water grass. The three armies form three talent formations, which are ten miles apart, and they can take care of each other in times of emergency. Today's military situation is urgent, and the patrol camp cannot be long, and only 10 battalions can be returned by patrolling along the riverside. ”

Mang Mao drove out of his barracks and turned to a small river. From a distance, the two camps are facing each other; As we got closer, we could see a five-pace-wide plank bridge over the river.

The camp is fifty paces from the river. As they walked along the shore, they could clearly see the movements of the sergeants in the camps on both sides of the strait: most of them were now very attentive grinding millet grains with stone chips and preparing their own breakfast. The roads in the camp are vertical and horizontal, distinguishing between pawns and companions.

The first battalion occupies an area of about one mile, and the fifth school has come down, and there are also six or seven miles. Although he was in a light car, he did not rush but walked slowly. Along the way, Mang Mao patiently explained some of the things that happened in the camp, such as how to place the grain, grass and armor staff, how to prepare the tents and bridges, and which camp could be improved. After going all the way down like this, most of the hours have passed since the completion of the tour of the five schools.

The farthest battalion was arranged at the bend of the river, covered by a large mud pond swamp on the right flank.

Mang Mao drove the car, bypassed the barracks, and walked back along the road between the barracks and the wetlands. The wetlands are filled with tall aquatic weeds and reeds, and there is a clear distinction between wetlands and dry lands.

As the car walked around the reeds, a large meadow suddenly appeared in front of me. On the grass were groups of people of all colors, all ages, tall, short, fat and thin. They sat in a circle around the fire and polished the grains with various stone chips. In the midst of them, flags of various colors were painted with symbols and patterns of various colors.

Seeing this group of people, Mang Mao intentionally or unintentionally accelerated the speed of the car, and the soldiers behind him also changed from a fast step to a trot. Mang Mao introduced: "This is a camp on the right. They are all gathered as a family, so there is no fixed number. Encampment can only roughly refer to one place, and the place occupied by more people is larger, and the place with fewer people is smaller. ”

"What if there is an argument?" Shin Ling-kun asked.

"Folks in the township, there are generally few disputes. In case of a dispute, the elders on both sides met and it was resolved. If it really doesn't work, it will be suppressed by bias or calibration. ”

When I came back from the camp, the meal was ready. The three of them had eaten with the soldiers and began to pull out the camp. At this time, the Wu Shi commanders selected from each battalion also came one after another. Mang Mao told them to rest in front of the camp, and then they would act together after Qi.
