Just when Yu Chen and Shao Xun were discussing the enemy situation in the camp, outside the Yellow River crossing in the Yangping area, there was a crowd of people and a large army gathered.

Suddenly, the crowd suddenly dispersed to both sides.

The cavalry that came first swung their whips and struck the sergeants who could not avoid them.

After the first team of more than 100 horsemen walked by, hundreds more horses galloped over, escorting a majestic-looking man to move forward slowly.

This man had a high nose and deep eyes, thick and powerful, and a gentle smile on his face, and even prevented his own soldiers from whipping their soldiers.

After hundreds of rides, a large group of sergeants appeared on the distant horizon with thousands of vehicles escorted.

The car is full of grain, and according to the calculation of 50-60 Hu in a car, there are about 200,000 Hu grain here.

It sounds like a lot, but it's nothing to an army of fifty or sixty thousand.

According to the system, it is advisable for the army to save enough grain and grass for three months, and then to replenish it as it is needed, and to transport it for at least one month at a time—thousands of wagons, mule carts, donkey carts, or ox carts are needed.

If it is really insufficient, it is necessary to have at least one month's grain stockpile, otherwise the military rations will bottom out, and it will be too late to rob them, and the army will not disperse in a hurry?

More than 50,000 troops, counting war horses and draft animals, will cost more than 100,000 grains and grass in a month, and the grain that Shi Qianfeng grabbed is really not enough to eat, and it is not even as much as the grain stored by a small family.

"Shi Qianfeng has won the battle again."

"Stone striker is strong."

"It's time to eat with your belly open, right?"

When the grain convoy approached, everyone shouted and said pitifully.

Kui An and Wang Yang, who were responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass, laughed when they heard it.

After a while, Zhixiong caught up from behind and said angrily: "Are there any rules?" What did General Shi say? You are not outcasts, you are not grass thieves and mountain bandits, you are rebels. The righteous army should have the appearance of the righteous army, what does the chaos look like? ”

After speaking, with a wave of his big hand, hundreds of armor soldiers rushed from behind, beat people with scabbards, and then ordered their whole team to stand solemnly.

After doing all this, Zhi Xiongfang nodded and ordered to move on.

On the other side, Shi Le entered the big tent, removed his armor, and then picked up the water bladder and drank it heartily.

"General." A moment later, Ji Bao, Wu Yu, Liu Ying, Tao Leopard, Guo Ao, Liu Hui, Zhang Yue, Zhao Lu and others gathered one after another and saluted together.

"Zhiqu Liu, I heard that among your subordinates, someone robbed women when they were collecting grain and hid in the army, can there be such a thing?" When he saw Zhi Quliu, Shi Le threw down the water bladder and asked.

"Yes." Zhi Quliu didn't dare to hide it.

"What a guts!" Shi Le was furious: "We are waiting for a righteous teacher, so we levy righteous valleys to help the army, why do we indiscriminately harm people?" ”

Zhiqu six can't be right.

"The offender was beheaded, and the head of the camp was hanged. The woman was given a bag of grain, released and returned home, and went to do it immediately. ”

"No." Zhi Quliu breathed a sigh of relief and left in a hurry.

The rest of the people looked stunned.

Compared with the great general (Jisang), the sweeping general (Shile) governed the army harshly, but he was righteous and squandered money, treated people leniently, and everyone obeyed him.

It is possible to loot and slaughter the city, but there must be an order. If you don't have an order, you will be cut off immediately.

"General, will you cross the river again with this withdrawal?" Seeing the dreary atmosphere in the tent, Fan Yangren Taobao asked out loud.

"I'm not going." Shi Le shook his head and said, "Gou Xi sent troops from Yanzhou and led the people north, but there is no chance. ”

When everyone heard Gou Xi's name, they were all afraid.

It's really too impressive when I followed the Gongshi Clan a year ago.

Sima Yu, the king of Fanyang, led the Xuchang soldiers to the north, and Gou Xi commanded in front of him, dispatched troops and horses, fought several times, and defeated the main force of the Gongshi Domain in one fell swoop.

Everyone fled in embarrassment, and they are still suspicious of Gou Xi.

"What are you afraid of!" Lu Ming, a native of Guangping, was unconvinced and said: "Most of the Xuchang soldiers have returned to Yuzhou, and there are only 10,000 people left in Yanzhou, and most of Gou Xi's hands are Yanzhou soldiers, so what are you afraid of?" ”

I am afraid of the Yuzhou soldiers, not afraid of the Yanzhou soldiers, this is because they have been taught a lesson by the Yuzhou soldiers and have not been beaten by the Yanzhou soldiers, so they have the confidence to fight.

Of course, Lu Ming's words also have the meaning of boosting morale.

Shi Le was silent at first when he heard this, then turned his head to look at an old Confucian student, and asked respectfully: "Cui Gong has read the scriptures and history all over the world, is there a good plan for this situation?" ”

"Cui Gong" was silent for a moment and said: "I see Sima Yue as narrow-minded, not like the master of the people, and he will not be able to control Gou Xi and others." Now that the army has enough food to meet its needs for several months, it is better to take a break and avoid it to Qinghe. If Gou Xi pursues in columns, he will hold on to him in Hebei, and over time, Sima will be more afraid of Gou Xi, and there will be a turnaround. ”

"Wonderful." Shi Le stroked his palms and smiled, and said, "The general also has this intention, which can be said to coincide. ”

Cui Gong nodded and stopped talking.

Shi Le pondered for a moment and said: "Send someone to report to the general, the grain and grass have arrived, where to go, make a decision quickly." ”

"No." Guo Ao, a native of Jinyang, responded respectfully.

He was responsible for such trivial matters as ushering in and sending off, guiding guests, and distributing money and food, so naturally he sent people to the general's camp to communicate.

The messenger soon arrived at the camp of Kisang.

At that time, Jisang had just returned from his inspection, sitting cross-legged in the big tent.

More than ten people lined up around the circle, holding a pu fan and fanning the wind vigorously.

It was already hot at the end of May, but Ji Sang was dressed in a precious fox fur and a heavy blanket under his buttocks.

Those who don't know think he has a kidney deficiency.

Those who know understand that the general is poor and afraid. I grabbed some good things in Yecheng, and I regarded them as treasures, and even if it was a hot day, I had to wear them on my body, and I refused to leave my body for a moment.

When the messenger entered the account, he reported Shiler's thoughts.

After hearing this, Ji Sang wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Shi (bèi) will accept it if you want to see it?" Or, as he wished, the troops were sent to Qinghe, and he was still the vanguard. ”

Shi Le's original name, some people say that his ancestors were Xiongnu Qiangqu people, but he lived in Shangdang and was classified as a Qianren - to be honest, the composition of the Qianren is complicated, as long as those who live in that area, no matter which tribe, they are called Qianren by the Jin court, because they are too lazy to distinguish.

After joining the army of the Gongshi Domain, Jisang took the name "Shile".

Shi Le dares to fight, is brave and good at fighting, and often serves as a pioneer, and Ji Sang is still very trusting.

This southward raid is actually just a test to see if you can break into Yanzhou and occupy territory.

Yes, there is no strategy for Kisang. Perhaps he was afraid of being surrounded and suppressed by the Jin court, and his rogue thinking became heavier and heavier, and he retreated after laying down a place, burning, killing and looting, and didn't think about staying and occupying the territory at all.

Still, maybe he can't be blamed for that.

The world is like this, what else can be done?

The state and county towns are easy to break, because the troops are scarce.

But the family has a lot of dock fort soldiers, but it is not easy to fight.

It's not that you can't beat it, the question is it's worth it? Thousands of dead and wounded captured a dock fort, and the captured young men may not be able to make up for the losses.

What's more, many of the soldiers who attacked the fort have been fighting in the south and north for several years, and there are a large number of Hebei veterans.

Now they also pick up the earthen fence with few dwarves on the wall, and break it with one drum, which is the most profitable.

Tuweizi is easy to fight, but it does not quench thirst. After a long time, the food was exhausted, and in the face of the invasion of the official army, it had to be transferred.

Now, it's time for the shift again.

Thinking of this festival, Jisang only felt more and more stuffy.

But instead, he subconsciously wrapped the fur on his body tightly and let the sweat overflow.

The human flesh fan next to him turned pale, and his hand increased the frequency of shaking the fan like a cramp.

"Snort" A pu fan was directly disconnected, and the first half fell on Ji Sang's face.

Ji Sang slapped the case violently and shouted, "Cut it!" ”

The soldiers rushed up, ignoring the pleading of the fan-shaking man, and dragged him out.

The rest of the human flesh fans were sweating profusely and shook carefully, bringing a burst of coolness to Jisang.

Jisang Huoran got up, paced out of the big tent, and looked at the sergeants coming and going in the big camp, and suddenly felt a panic.

With tens of thousands of soldiers in hand, but he can't even occupy a solid territory, he is being chased and run away when he sees the sky, why is this?

The imperial court's attack is only one aspect.

The bigger reason is not that they are from too poor background? Being looked down upon by scholars, or even uncooperative?

Damn, 50,000 soldiers can't deal with you, so what about 500,000?

I don't believe it, but a man's neck is harder than a sword.

Kill, kill, kill!

Kill you until you are afraid, kill until you kneel and beg for mercy, kill until you cry and wail, will you dare to look down on us when the time comes?

He suddenly didn't want to go.

Yangping, who was finally won, why did he let go so easily?

Gou Xi has won once, but he may not be able to win every time.

Let's wait.

If you really can't do it, you will go to the plains to meet Shile.

******

On the fifth day of June, Sima Yue had arrived in Xuchang.

The people of the shogunate came one after another.

The first to arrive did not rush to do things, but to travel the mountains and rivers, or all night to drink, indulge in fun.

Sima Yue looked at all this very tolerantly and laughed it off.

Scholars should always be more tolerant - in other words, if a person with no background or family is so unpresentable, he is looking for death.

After the people gathered, the first thing that the shogunate discussed was not to suppress the bandits, but how to control the Luoyang government from a distance.

It took another few days.

It wasn't until late June that Gou Xi and Shao Xun couldn't wait, and sent people to ask questions again and again, and Sima Yue discussed the plan with his staff members in a serious way.

On June 25, Sima Yue sent Liu Yu, the left chief of the shogunate, to Ji County, and recruited soldiers from the three counties of Ji, Wei, and Hanoi, as well as the Shao Xun Department of the Yamen Army, with more than 20,000 people, with Liu Yu as the governor, and marched east to Ye.

Before leaving, Sima You, the king of Runan, grabbed Liu Yu and whispered to him.

Gou Xi led the crowd to cross the river to the north and attack Wuyang in the east.

The two armies fired in unison, like two fists, fiercely hitting Jisang.

And he himself led more than 30,000 people from the Left Army, the Left Guard and the Xuchang Soldiers to go north to Guandu to support Gou Xi.

As the commander of the two armies, this time he wisely did not personally command, but acted as a backup and responded in the center.

I have to say that the more Sima took this step, half the success of the anti-bandit operation.

If you fight a war, you should leave it to professional people.

Sima Yue learned a lot of lessons, and finally had some understanding of his own ability - or he was scared, at this sensitive moment, he really couldn't afford to lose.

Anyway, no matter where Gou Xi and Liu Yu fought, the biggest credit was still his Sima Yue's, because he was the commander of the army.
