Chapter 167: Organizing the Army
Shi Zun's men gathered more and more.
However, there were more and more begging troops from all over the country where Chen Liu, and people from the three eastern states such as Qingxu Yan came one after another, ranging from three or four hundred to one or two thousand.
Li Yue also did not expect to occupy Chenliu and annex Sanzhou.
But this battle can be seen as an opportunity to test his appeal, and Li Yue has made people write down all those who have been sent.
At first, it was just a beggar army in the south of the river, and later the powerful forces in Hebei also secretly sent people.
Yan Zhao has been a generous and tragic person since ancient times, and there are many people who are dissatisfied with the oppression of Qian Zhao, but there is just a lack of a leader, and now Li Yue has stood up, won two big victories, and established the position of the commander of the Southern Beggar Army, and naturally there is no shortage of people who come to follow him.
Ding Rao, a native of Qinghe, Sun Yuan, a native of Yangping, and Han Gao, a native of Liyang, brought hundreds of pieces and grain and grass to converge.
"The general beheaded Liang Li, defeated Shi Bin, and the military prestige greatly boosted my morale in Zhongxia!" Several people stepped forward and bowed their hands.
Li Yue said good words to appease and rewarded him with money, silk, wine and meat.
These things were all scavenged by Shi Bin, and they were all cheaper than Li Yue.
With each passing day, the strength of each side increases by one point.
In the past, Shi Zun also sent people to show off his might, but there was no movement in the past few days.
The two armies faced each other, but there was no tension at all before the outbreak of the war.
Chen Liucheng was unprecedentedly lively, some of the powerful people from all over the country sent troops to assist, and some secretly transported grain, grass, livestock, and prey, not only so that the Black Cloud Army did not have the risk of lack of food, but on the contrary, the meat was constantly eaten, and the soldiers became strong one by one.
However, the various forces under the command of the two sides are intertwined, and it is difficult to completely restrain them.
If you can't suppress the anger, there will be a small battle.
Without the Black Cloud Army's move, the beggar army called Huazi was naturally not the opponent of Zhao Jun.
After all, the Zhao army is a regular army, and the equipment it should have is still there, and there are at least 100 people in armor in an army of 1,000 people.
And the beggar army is even a problem with clothing, and the weapons are even more varied, all with a ruthless fight with the Zhao army, and it is good to be able to block the Zhao army.
The beggar army who suffered a loss naturally ran to Li Yue and cried, "The general will definitely avenge us!" ”
"It's not that we can't beat it, if there are dozens of pieces of iron armor, they will definitely be killed."
Naturally, the problem of the beggar army is not only equipment, but also much worse training.
And after each fight, the other side will send someone to explain, for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings and leading to a full-scale war, "It is not our army that takes the initiative, but your troops who attack our army first......"
"King Pengcheng is a polite man." Li Yue laughed.
He used this confrontation to integrate the beggar army, and Shi Zun was also using this to gather military power, each with his own purpose, but the confrontation in front of him seemed insignificant.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that this was an opportunity, so he let the black clouds disperse among the army, and start training with a sufficient supply of food every day.
Those who are bitter and tired are kicked out, and those who are obedient and serious are rewarded with meat.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and in Chen Liucheng, they naturally have to rely on Li Yue to live a life.
The begging generals are all bowing down, not to mention the beggar army.
War is always the best means of military training.
The beggar army, which had just improved, immediately pulled out to fight with Zhao Jun after changing into a leather armor and breaking a knife and spear.
The effect was immediate, and they were able to fight with Zhao Jun on a par with each other, fighting a battle, and each of them threw down dozens of corpses.
But as time passed, Zhao Jun gradually couldn't bear it anymore.
The beggar army is becoming more and more violent, different from the previous fierce attack, under the command of the black cloud general, it began to have an array and knew how to cooperate.
The casualties of the Zhao army increased, but the casualties of the beggar army decreased.
Correspondingly, the beggar armies became more and more in awe of the Black Cloud Army.
Later, the beggar army challenged, and even the big camp on the opposite side did not dare to come out, and the beggar army was crazy and insulting outside the big camp.
The two sides once again fell into "peace", and the beggar army was still insulting and provoking, and the Zhao army was indifferent.
Among them, a beggar army ran to the north outside the Puhong camp to insult, Li Yue quickly called people back, this pass, it is better not to provoke them.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do on both sides, Li Yuesheng rewarded the meritorious soldiers in the army, and promoted more than 200 black cloud generals.
One of them, Qin Biao, made Li Yue remember it vividly, this person was the first person to enter the army shirtless that day, and there was a long list of military exploits recorded under the account, killing a total of 53 enemies, and there were as many as four generals who died in his hands.
Han Feizi said: The prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce general must be sent from the army.
He was not the only one who bravely killed the enemy, and there were three people who killed more than 100 enemies in one battle.
All the black cloud generals were personally promoted and appointed by Li Yue in front of the whole army, "Today you are the black cloud general, and you should be loyal, righteous, brave, wise and faithful!" Take it as your mission to drive out the slaves and restore my rivers and mountains! ”
"Born as a black cloud general, die as a black cloud ghost!"
Some people directly cut their faces with knives to show their determination.
This custom originated from the Qiang people, and the Han people have attached great importance to the body and skin since ancient times, but after the loss of mountains and rivers, many traditional rituals have gradually changed.
China influences all ethnic groups, and all ethnic groups also deeply influence China.
Two hundred and thirty-one black clouds lined up, majestic and high-spirited.
Li Yue took his guards to put on iron armor for them one by one, put on a cloak, and recorded their names, with two hundred acres of fields hanging behind their names, and the rest was Hu Cao dividing the fields for them.
And the expansion is therefore engraved into the bone marrow of the Black Cloud Army.
There are so many fields near Heiyun Mountain, so they can only occupy Chenliu, expand outward, and continue to expand.
The land left by Chen is more fertile and more abundant than that of Heiyun Mountain.
The black armor and red silk were majestic, as if in an instant, they had completed their transformation.
attracted the envious eyes of all the soldiers around, and even attracted people with lofty ideals in the beggar army.
After the ceremony was completed, the begging armies became more well-behaved, and they all rushed to complete any military order.
Many beggars will ask to see each other in private, and directly ask to be merged into the Black Cloud Army.
They lacked food and clothing outside, and only after they came to Chenliu did they eat a few full meals, and many beggar soldiers got together, never because they wanted to be the emperor of the soil, but because they couldn't survive anymore and had to huddle together to keep warm.
Chen Liu's population was originally small, and he was plagued by Shi Bin, and the population was becoming more and more withered, so it was naturally a good thing that beggar soldiers from all over the country filled in.
The beggars were promoted to lieutenants, temporarily staying in Chenliu for a period of time to observe, and those who were capable and loyal were promoted to lieutenants, guarding the forts and county seats.
If you don't have the ability to think about it, you can directly send two hundred acres of land, ten stones of grain, and a mansion.
Seeing that the fire was almost over, Li Yue directly issued a military order, so the begging army must be transformed, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled must be eliminated, the weak will go, the strong will stay, and Heiyun will serve as a middle and lower-level officer.
Under the "persuasion" of the black cloud saber and spear, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, and the beggar generals patted their chests and agreed, but at night, there were still more than 20 beggar troops who fled from Chenliu.
They were able to escape from the city defended by the Black Cloud Army, which was naturally intentional by Li Yue.
The twisted melon is not sweet, and those who want to leave will eventually leave.
As a result, the integration of the beggars was initially completed.
Zhao Jun on the opposite side shrank in the camp and began the deep ditch and high fortress mode.
The soldiers could not be idle, and Li Yuebian ordered the begging army to go out hunting.
One is to replenish meat, and the other is to train troops by the way.
Thanks to the stone tigers, tigers and wolves are everywhere in the north, and the people hide in the dock forts, half of the reason is to resist the invasion of wild beasts.
