Chapter 157: Death is the Discipline of the Army
After Xu Shu returned to Wancheng, he didn't see Guan Yu until the evening.
"Jingzhou has been restored, and the giant boat is useless for the time being."
Guan Yu wiped the sweat from his face and continued:
"You can only compete for power, only the cavalry."
Xu Shu's face was full of agreement, and he said with a lot of concern:
"Since the giant ship is useless, it is better to close down the Linfu shipyard to save money."
Guan Yu didn't eat this, sat down and just glanced at Xu Shu's face and guessed:
"Koto has a move?"
Xu Shu also sat down, shook his head and said:
"There is no movement at all, so it is a problem."
As for shutting down the shipyard is just a joke, both of them know very well that this giant ship is temporarily useless in Jingzhou, but it is very useful in Jiangdong.
In fact, neither of them wanted to go to Jiangdong in a giant boat, after all, just worrying about the north was already busy enough.
But unfortunately, whether Jingzhou's giant boat is still useful or not does not depend on what Guan Yu and Xu Shu think.
It depends on what Sun Quan thinks.
And this eldest brother, he doesn't have the mind to the world.
But Bao Jiangdong's mind is not only there, but also very big.
Therefore, Jiangdong only had a brief discussion, and then put it aside.
After all, the two parties have an alliance first, and the act of betraying the alliance, whether it is Liu Bei, Guan Yu or Kong Ming Xu Shu, cannot do it.
As for Pang Tong? All his thoughts are used to worry about Yongliang Guanzhong, in his words:
Jingzhou has clouds and long Yuanzhi, Gongyan has seasons, there is no shortage of strong cities and giant boats, and there are rich soldiers and soldiers, so what is there to worry about?
"Yuan Zhi has been gone for two days, and it just so happens that my brother's reward has come."
Brushing his beard, Guan Yu suddenly remembered this matter, got up and took out the official document from the table.
Xu Shu also took it and glanced at it:
Jiaguan Yunchang left army general.
Jia Xu Yuan Zhibei Zhonglang General.
Jia Huang Han ascended to the crossbow general.
Jiama Jichang ......
"Oh yes, there's also a letter from Shi Yuan's military division, written to Yuan Zhi."
When Xu Shu heard this, he immediately put this reward aside:
"Come and see me!"
There is no way to say it, it has been more than half a year since Xu Shu returned, but he has not seen Pang Tong so far.
The two are divided into the north and east of the town, and the location is tight and difficult to get out, even if they are contacted by letter.
After all, when Fangling Shangyong had not been opened before, the letter from Jingzhou needed to be sent from Zigui to Shu, and then through Jiangzhou to the north, through Langzhong, Jiameng Pass and then east to Hanzhong, which required a big circle, so it was not too troublesome.
Now that Jingzhou has been restored, the two are busier and have fewer letters.
Opening the letter paper and looking at it by the candlelight in the hall, Xu Shu couldn't help laughing:
"Yun Chang, Yide is urging Shi Yuan to seek Yongliang."
Speaking of the third brother who has already made great achievements in Hanzhong, Guan Yu also smiled:
"These official letters were sent by Yide's own soldiers, along with the light curtain records at the end of July."
"Among them, there is the life of the Tang Dynasty military god, as well as the essence of the Tang army's military formation, as well as the experience of the art of war."
"Yide should be eager to train cavalry."
Although Xu Shu hadn't seen the light curtain record yet, he laughed after tasting it:
"I think I'm in a hurry!"
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said in a brisk tone:
"The experience of the Tang Dynasty military god Li Weigong's art of war is very beneficial to read."
"The Tang Army's method of combining infantry and cavalry can also be learned."
Looking at Guan Yu, who rarely looked so cheerful, Xu Shu also laughed:
"Now there are no good horses in Hanzhong, and there is no place to train cavalry."
"Yide is empty and has a treasure, but there is no place to show it, how can you not be in a hurry?"
General Zhang didn't know if he was in a hurry, but Ma Jian felt that he was a little anxious.
Looking back on the past few months, before attacking Fangling Shangyong, Ma Jian felt that there was nothing to worry about.
After all, although he was assigned here, he still has insights into the art of war.
From the topography point of view, Fangling Shangyong is basically a passage.
On one side is Hanzhong, General Zhang is eyeing the tiger, and on the other side is Jingzhou, General Guan is awe-inspiring.
In this case, no one cared about what the so-called Haoqiang surname here thought, and he knelt down quite mellowly.
Therefore, after guarding for a while, Ma Jian quickly became bored.
I don't know when I can fall back to Chengdu or Jingzhou, but if I can't do it, Hanzhong will be fine.
And just when Ma Jian sighed in his heart, Liu Feng shouted from afar:
"Ma deserter, pack up your things, and go back to Hanzhong tomorrow!"
Ma Tan was almost overjoyed, and there was nothing to put away, except for a few pieces of cane sugar that he had saved, he could be said to have nothing to grow.
It wasn't until he set off the next day that Ma Jian remembered to continue to ask:
"Is it for Tuntian to return to Hanzhong this time?"
Liu Feng shook his head, with a high-spirited face:
"Listen to General Zhang Fei's order, let's gather troops to go out of Yongliang!"
Ma Tan's heart trembled, and his face quickly turned pale.
In comparison, Fang Ling seems to be good......
"Horse deserter, why are you still so virtuous?"
Mi Fang laughed loudly:
"The last time I attacked Hanzhong with General Zhang, I was cowardly before I fought, and I was ashamed!"
Ma Tan's heart was in turmoil, but he didn't admit defeat at all in his mouth:
"At most, I'm suffering from heart palpitations on the battlefield, what about you?"
"Obviously in Hanzhong, when I heard that Jingxiang was fighting, I was scared of two tremors, which is unheard of."
Mi Fang was stunned, and among the three of them, he paid the most attention to the Jingxiang war, which was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.
And before the end of the Jingxiang War, Mi Fang often had nightmares.
In the dream, in front of him was Guan Yu, who was defeated and beheaded, and beside him was his brother who committed suicide in sorrow, which often woke Mi Fang up.
And there is also an angry scolding: the door that should be opened is not opened, and the door that should be closed is reversed!
It wasn't until I heard that the dust of the Jingxiang War had settled and Jiangling was still stable, and Mi Fang was a little better.
Liu Feng intervened to stop the dispute, and encouraged and comforted:
"This is the time to go to Yongliang, it is the time to make contributions!"
"The merits are remarkable, and they cannot wash away the shame."
Ma Tan and Mi Fang thought about it together, and then shook their heads together.
I don't dare to expect this at all.
It's enough not to drag down my brother! This is the same thought in the hearts of the two.
Ma Yan's face was still gray:
"In the land of Yongliang, it is either the Qiang cavalry or the Xiliang cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and charging freely."
"The only way to go from Hanzhong to Yongliang is to go out of Qishan, but there is no danger to defend on this way, and Qishan City is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"And the Longshan Road is also difficult to defend, if Cao Jun intervenes again during the battle, I will not be able to cut off Cao Bing's head."
Liu Feng touched his chin and looked thoughtful:
"Youchang is from Jingzhou, so he knows the Northland so well?"
As for the worries that Ma Tan said, Liu Feng didn't take it to heart.
After all, to be honest, he didn't know where Qishan was, and he didn't know what Longshan Road was.
Ma Tan was speechless, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Mi Fang is even more afraid that the world will not be chaotic:
"Ma Youchang, it turns out that you are a deserter in Yongliangdang and betrayed the enemy!"
Ma Tan's blood surged, and he immediately scolded angrily:
"Go to Ru Niang's enemy, Lao Tzu violated military rules in Yongliang and led death to correct military discipline!"
At the same time, it also instantly reversed Mi Fang's restless performance some time ago:
"If that's the case, Mi Tuo Leggings actually joined the enemy army in Jingxiang?"
For a while, both of them were red-faced, staring at each other, and their bodies were full of anger.
Liu Feng looked confused:
During the Jingxiang war, this Mi Fang was not timid in attacking Fangling, and the garrison of Fangling was occasionally slack, but it was not a big deal.
As for this horse? When he was thrown over, his father was attacking Zigui to the front line of Jiangzhou, how did he get to Yongliang?
But looking at the two who were about to fight, Liu Feng chose the simplest and most effective way:
"Where is Junzheng?"
After a while, looking at the two of them who had only been beaten with five military sticks before they became honest, Liu Cover's face was cold:
"You, what are you hiding from me?"
Ma Tan and Mi Fang glanced at each other, but finally shook their heads together:
"You can't say anything about it!" Mi Fang touched her buttocks, but her attitude was very resolute.
"This secret, if the two of us pass it on privately, it will not only affect my brother, but also cause death."
Ma Tan proposed a compromise plan:
"If the prince wants to know, he should seek General Zhang to decide."
The title of Childe made Liu Feng's curiosity fade a lot, he nodded with a deep groan, and admonished:
"It may be extremely difficult and dangerous to get out of Yongliang, and it is impossible to repeat the incident."
In Hanzhong, relying on the relatively abundant grain, Zhang Fei also put down the commotion for the good horses in his heart, and calmly arranged the transfer of troops in Hanzhong with Pang Tong.
First of all, Wuzhang originally wanted to reinforce soldiers and horses, increase grain and grass.
The number of soldiers in Wuzhangyuan increased to 10,000, and an additional 1,000 crossbow machines reformed by Madame Huang were allocated.
In this way, even if Chang'an's Cao soldiers poured out, Wei Yan and Huo Jun could defend the Wuzhang Plain without retreating into the Bao Slope Road.
After all, Jing Xiang also came with news, Xu Huang was transferred, according to the situation that Cao Jun's grain and grass have just been renewed, but it can't be said that he is rich, Xu Huang probably has no strength to come back for the time being.
This can ensure that it is difficult for Xiahou Yuan to capture Longshan Road, and the affairs of Yongliang can be conquered behind closed doors.
The second is the due diligence army.
In this regard, Zhang Fei was quite surprised.
Even in the case of a shortage of manpower in Hanzhong, Pang Tong still insisted on dispatching a team of manpower to repair the Qishan Road.
Although the project has been slowed down, it has been repaired, and now half a year has passed, and the results have appeared.
When the road was still okay, Zhang Fei discussed with Pang Tongyi, and finally transferred 25,000 elite soldiers to enter Yongliang out of Longshan Road.
Pang Tong went out with the army, and Fa Zheng sat in Hanzhong, which can be called a great joy.
Zhang Fei has long coveted Liangzhou Malaysia.
Pang Tong is determined to take a little risk and see with his own eyes the Hexi Corridor, which can become the lifeblood of the empire and is also called the "industrial and mining capital" by later generations.
Fa Zheng is also happy, since he voted under the command of Xuande Gong, it has only been a year now, and he can not be anyone's adjutant, and personally supervise Hanzhong, which can be called fast.
Especially now, many of the people in Hanzhong have escaped from Guanzhong, and there are not many people who help the wind.
This is also half of the clothes returned to his hometown, and Fazheng is not dissatisfied.
After half a month of preparation, after the last batch of ordnance arrived from Chengdu, the army also opened again.
Zhang Fei sharpened his knife on the stage:
"Yongliang is vast, plus my old Zhang, I shouldn't feel crowded when I think about it!"
Pang Tong rode on the horse and looked back at the little Jiang Wei who had bid farewell, smiled and waved his hand.
Looking back, his face was a little sad:
Otherwise, in the next two years, on the grounds of busy military affairs, he simply didn't go back to Chengdu to see Kong Mingde?
