Chapter 207: Pre-Battle Preparations
The war was full of military affairs, and it was difficult for the old king to retreat in Merlin and move back to the sleeping palace that he had not set foot in for decades, and the Pingrong Hall on the right rear side of the Qinzheng Palace, after nearly ten years of silence, ushered in the hurried footsteps of the military generals on the bluestone steps.

"Victory and defeat are commonplace, it is a pity that the county town of Qili is lost, but to see the implied turnaround, the deeper the coalition army goes, the more scattered the troops, if you want to force the lonely to admit defeat unless the soldiers come to the city, hehe, the hungry tiger down the mountain seems to be fierce, but in fact, it will fall into the trap laid by the hunter. ”
The old king's expression was calm as usual, and his words pointed out the key points, and the two ministers of the military department were secretly shocked in their hearts, as if the royal family had laid a trap in advance, and even the military department had concealed it, and the intention was not a resolution that the nobles and commoners were guilty of the same crime, and the two of them felt cold in their hearts almost at the same time, and the policy of cutting the feudal domain was finally to be carried out by force.
"The lonely mistake is that he did not send important ministers to the east to unify the army, and the king of Linfeng went south from the waterway to the south, and the defenders of Qili County retreated while fighting, so as to consume the tactics of the coalition army failed, and the county was lost in only half a month, and Lonely's fault did not need to be hidden. ”
"Your Majesty, the proposal of the military captain seems crazy but it is actually feasible, after stabilizing the eastern defense line, the coalition army is bound to increase its troops, and the rear garrison will inevitably be empty. ”
Dugu Yingrong pretended to have no personal feelings between her body and words, she would be able to make contributions if she broke the barracks and went behind enemy lines, whether she could hold on to the counterattack of the imperial army, the military department and she felt that it was impossible, but the temptation of a sneak attack on Binhai City to destroy the elite naval army in the East China Sea, no one in Pingrong Hall could resist.
"Lone allows the military captain to act cheaply, if he has the ability, he can kill Donghai County for thousands of miles, and the Dugu royal family will never blame. ”
The whereabouts of the broken military camp are known to only a few people in the empire, and it is announced that it will rush to Qili from the waterway, and the military order department will be dispatched within five days, mainly to mobilize warships and merchant ships. Mei Ruoxue was ordered to come to the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the orders she received were contrary to her duties, and the orders of the military cadet were not allowed to be questioned, and they must be carried out unconditionally.
"The battalion paid three years of military pay in advance. ”
The settling-in allowance, the sergeant who received the silver ticket, under the old soldier's allocation, realized that he was going to die for a lifetime, and shifted from the head of one column to the tail of another, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs sent dozens of local officials to register behind the table, and to send the settling-in allowance to each sergeant's home.
In the past, the military salary was advanced for half a year, and the barracks were issued three years in advance, the sergeants with relatives lined up to register, and the orphans who had not yet started a family did not know who to leave with the silver tickets, and some people wanted to give it away casually, it was better than carrying it in their arms when they died.
"Brothers, although there are many bad lucks and few good fortunes, it is not without a way to live, and no one is allowed to spend money indiscriminately, and keep it for marrying a wife and starting a family. I have never even met my parents, and I understand the suffering of orphans, and believe me, the brothers who broke the barracks will not die in vain. Go to register, temporarily store the silver ticket in the government, die in battle, build a tomb and a monument, live, and start a family. ”
Orphans go to register, Gao Yuan walked through the camps, orphans who have no relatives to care about, don't have to leave the pain to their families after dying in battle, the daughter who has never seen thousands of miles away, Moon Shadow, what should your father leave for you, alas, soldiers may not be married.
"Captain, I heard that you have a daughter, leave it to her to buy knick-knacks. ”
Mei Ruoxue walked over from the side, holding a stack of silver tickets in her hand, Gao Yuan looked at her for a long time before ordering in a deep voice: "Mei Ruoxue, go and hand over the silver tickets to the government for registration, I didn't take you to death!" Mei Ruoxue walked back dozens of steps and turned back, stubbornly holding up the silver tickets: "The silver I exchanged for my life doesn't want to be left for people who are not at ease." Gao Yuan nodded silently after being stunned, took the silver ticket and walked to the registration team, leaving Mei Ruoxue with a word: "Whoever dares to embezzle a tael, I want his head." ”
Slowly moving forward in the ranks, when it was Gao Yuan's turn, he asked the officials to write down Mei Ruoxue's name, picked up the register and read it carefully, and instructed the guards who followed: "After registration, remember to transcribe two copies, let them sign and seal, one to the Inspectorate, and one to the Ministry of Military Affairs." ”
The sergeants were not allowed to leave the camp, but the training stopped, the standard station, the two-level officers and the brothers chatted nonsense, when a female soldier walked by, many people whistled, which caused a burst of laughter, but there was no laughing element in the laughter, the harsh military regulations of the broken barracks were placed there, and the female soldiers were not killed by the standards, and those who bullied the female soldiers were killed, and the fourth camp rule announced by Duguying, the county lord of Qinghui.
The archer was in the standard team, and Li Longbow was crowded in the team of people to impart experience.
"I don't have a wife, I can only blame you for not having the ability, learn from me, forget it, it's best to take the captain as an example, he wants to have no looks, and he wants to be so poor that the silver is so poor, how can he deceive Yan Hou, and there are other people You know, hehe, he has a ability, he can fight and is not afraid of death. ”
"Biao Chief, no matter how brave we are, women can't see it, how can we deceive people?" As soon as an officer finished speaking, Li Changgong slapped it and scolded angrily: "Fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, we will bid two female soldiers, and in the future, we will evaluate the merits of the war, whether you can find a wife is counted as one, you can't attract the attention of female soldiers, either you are afraid of death ghosts or your martial arts are poor." ”
"Commander, what should I do if I want to take a fancy to the female soldiers of the pro-guard?"
"Get away as soon as possible, if you still want to marry a female guard, just say that you have a crush on Captain Mei. ”
More than a dozen people crowded in front of the tent, bragging to the head, no one noticed Mei Ruoxue passing by, she stood and listened, raised her feet and took it back.
"It's a bit promising, it's a great achievement, I'll introduce you to the female guards. ”
Mei Ruoxue walked away, the officers laughed, Li Changgong touched his head and smiled: "Did you hear it, you kid should be able to accumulate combat merits and become a standard leader, Captain Mei will pick a female guard for you." ”
Back at the station of the guards, Mei Ruoxue was dumbfounded, a group of people around Gao Yuan, everyone was also bragging, and there were several female guards next to her who covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
"Who is not afraid of death, the first time the county lord killed someone, he still let the instructor hold his arm, and it took a long time to stab the short knife out, and he vomited a mess, which is far worse than you. ”
"Captain, were you afraid at that time?"
Gao Yuan didn't answer directly: "Li Zihui is not very ruthless, hehe, dare to order the arrow to be released into the crowd, when he killed a death row prisoner, his legs were trembling, I heard later that he hadn't eaten for two days, haha, and Li Longbow, he insisted on squeezing into my room at night, and he didn't dare to sleep alone." ”
Mei Ruoxue didn't know if what he said was true or not, so she walked over after listening to it from a distance, clasped her hands to her chest and asked with a smile: "Captain, I heard that you and Li Biaochang almost became deserters, is there such a thing?" The guards all opened their eyes wide, the captain was a deserter, is it possible?
"Rumors, it must be Li Zihui who has ruined our reputation, when I went out to reconnoitre, two people went deep into the enemy territory for thousands of miles, killing hundreds of people, how brave, hehe, of course, Li Biaochang once wanted to slip away, and took the initiative to run back, no one likes the deserters anywhere, don't say it again in the future, hahaha. ”
In each standard team, the veterans are imparting experience, no serious things, just a few words, when the deserter is risky and not promising, the more afraid of death in the war, the later he will die, and he must not disobey the order before the battle, or he will die under the knife of the military law team before seeing the enemy.
In the evening, Gao Yuan gave Wen Qinghan a thumbs up: "Gao Ming, it's more effective than shouting on the platform for half a day, you have to think more of such bad ideas in the future." ”
"Morale boosting is a bad idea in your mouth. Wen Qinghan protested, and was a little worried, and said with a bitter face: "To break the enemy's military heart, I can't think of a good way to achieve quick results, and the two armies will fight against each other, and there will not be much gap to get into." ”
"Wait, I'm going to be able to send someone to infiltrate the enemy camp, what do you want to do?"
"I wanted to engrave a list and shoot into the enemy camp, and write that I would take the initiative to surrender to the empire and be rewarded, and the official should be a soldier, but it contradicted the camp rules, and it would be counterproductive not to take prisoners in wartime. ”
Gao Yuan thought for a while and smiled: "There is no resistance, I mean don't take prisoners during the battle, people surrender in advance, or defect on the verge of battle, and there is no conflict with the camp rules." You can't write an official photo as a soldier license, I understand, you want to deceive people first, but we can't break people's trust. ”
The two discussed in the tent, and couldn't decide on a suitable sentence for a while, Mei Ruoxue walked in, raised her eyebrows and said: "Surrender and reward, resist the slaughter of the city." The pen in Wen Qinghan's hand fell to the ground, and Gao Yuan circled around her several times, slaughtering the city, but he didn't expect someone to have an idea with him.
"If it's not good, you can continue to discuss. Mei Ruoxue made him feel furious in his heart, and he was about to leave with a red face, Wen Qinghan called her: "Just these eight words, the threats and temptations are complete, if the captain dares to take responsibility, I will go and engrave it." ”
"The green snake is thorned in the mouth, the wasp tail is needled, the poison is not the villain's mouth and the woman's heart, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me, go, carve more, send someone to the military department to throw a few sheets, don't let me catch it." ”
Wen Qinghan hesitated for a moment and then suddenly realized, Gao Yuan didn't want to bear the notoriety, he wanted the military department to speak first, the slaughter of the city was not a joke, don't make a lot of achievements, but after the war, he went to the prison of the criminal department. His guess is really the heart of a villain, Gao Yuan has already been allowed by the king, but he wants to report the good method to the military department in disguise, whether he agrees with it or not, he will do it to slaughter the city.
After Wen Qinghan left, Mei Ruoxue conveyed the order of the Ministry of General Affairs to Gao Yuan, and the pro-guard team would not resist any military orders in the future, Gao Yuan had already expected, nodded and asked how many doctors were hired, Mei Ruoxue reported angrily and annoyedly: "Originally, dozens of people were set up with a lot of money, but I don't know who recognized that the standard belonged to the broken military camp, and no one was willing to come." ”
"Hehe, don't want to come, has the deposit been returned?"
"Mark it and confiscate it, let the government urge it. Mei Ruoxue replied angrily, Gao Yuan picked up the tea she had made and said with a smile: "Just now, you didn't pour the tea when the light cold was cold, and you remembered it when you left." Mei Ruoxue blushed and concealed it: "A staff officer with the rank of inspector, what qualifications do you have to let the standard pour tea." ”
"It seems that I am infamous, so scared that people dare not come, hehe, you give the list to Li Biaochang, and the two of them will see who will give it to whom, and invite all the people before the city gate closes tomorrow night. ”
The next day, the doctor on the list asked people to go to the doctor, the family waited for a long time and did not come back, and ran to the government to report the case at night, and the answer was that they voluntarily went to the broken military camp to join the army, and the government had a contract between the two sides, and all the formalities were complete.
