Chapter 40 Do you really think you are an invincible general?
"Commander, this is the last of the Northern Army...the rest have been divided, and the equipment has also been divided..."
In Hua Xiong's tent, Gao Shun, who drank three large bowls of steaming porridge and rice and ate some pickles, looked at Hua Xiong and said this.
I felt somewhat ashamed.
After all, the equipment of their soldiers is indeed very poor.
And I heard that the governor of Sishui Guanhua didn't have any extra equipment here.
I and others were indeed used to beat Governor Hua, otherwise they wouldn't be like this...
Hua Xiong heard this and said, "Xuan Chang doesn't have to be like this. Equipment is not a big deal.
The day after tomorrow, let your soldiers change their uniforms in the morning."
Gao Shun was a little surprised when he heard this.
Didn't it mean that there is no extra equipment here at Sishui Pass?
Why did Governor Hua say that he would change his clothes the day after tomorrow?
Is it that Governor Hua is hiding equipment here at Sishui Pass, or is it that Governor Hua begged Dong Zhuo for a batch of equipment?
However, due to his personality, he didn't ask any questions and just clasped his fists at Hua Xiong in thanks.
No matter what the situation is, it is an excellent thing for them, the Northern Army.
After saying some more words here, Gao Shun said goodbye to Hua Xiong.
Returning to the camp assigned to him, he looked at his well-fed subordinates. At this time, the sky was still very hazy, but the haze in Gao Shun's heart was much less.
The trip to Sishui Pass was not as bad as I thought, and Governor Hua was not that kind of person...
In Hua Xiong's tent, Hua Xiong had a smile on his face.
He was very satisfied with his meeting with Gao Shun.
It was obvious that the soldiers Gao Shun brought were new recruits and had never been on the battlefield.
However, the impression given is not as simple as that of a new recruit.
Although they are not well equipped, they are well trained.
Gao Shun, a general who has no heels and is now almost a small transparent one, is the most comfortable to use.
Because it is easy to completely subdue him and make him your own.
That's why Hua Xiong treated him and his soldiers so well and prepared to equip them with equipment.
If you want to conquer others and make them treat you well, then you need to give something, not just talk empty words.
Talking empty words will not fill your stomach. No matter how easy it is to hear empty words, they will only work temporarily. Over time, the backlash will be particularly serious.
There are not so many fools in the world. Even if you can't react at the moment, you can still react after more experience and time.
So Hua Xiong was prepared to pay something first.
These things are to let these Northern Army soldiers and horses eat well first, and then exchange equipment with them...
In the afternoon of the next day, Hua Xiong personally brought people and some equipment to the Gaoshun camp.
When Gao Shun heard the news, he was stunned. According to what Governor Hua said, wouldn't the equipment be available only tomorrow morning for him and others to change?
Why did the equipment arrive this afternoon?
Moreover, it seems that the amount of equipment is not too much.
"Do you feel like there is too little equipment?"
Hua Xiong looked at Gao Shun, and the Northern Army soldiers spoke up.
"I really didn't bring much.
Because I don’t have any extra equipment here.
I brought these to you from the soldiers guarding the gate."
"But don't worry, equipment can generate equipment.
I have stored a batch of fine soldiers and armor outside Sishui Pass, and I will take you to pick them up tonight.
I’ll make you look brand new tomorrow morning!”
Many people couldn't help being stunned when they heard this, and immediately realized that Governor Hua was going to take them to kill the enemy and get equipment to change their clothes.
This... is a bit too courageous!!
"You have never been on the battlefield, so you may feel scared, but I tell you, there is no need to do so.
Those Kwantung Allied Forces are transportation brigades that are rushing over to deliver soldiers, armor, and food and grass to us.
Go to bed early tonight, and when the time comes, I will set off and I will make a big difference to you all tomorrow morning."
According to Hua Xiong's own status, if he was willing to go to Dong Zhuo to ask for equipment, or borrow some equipment from the rest of the Xiliang army, he could still get it.
But Hua Xiong didn’t want to let go of this face.
I also feel that there is no need to give up.
There are so many Kwantung Allied Forces there, and it would be a bit useless to risk your skin and ask others for equipment...
…
"Captain... If we go to rob the camp again, I'm afraid... I'm afraid something won't be right, okay?"
Guard Zhao Cen looked at Hua Xiong and spoke hesitantly.
"Xiangguo...Xiangguo, the reason for sending these soldiers and horses to the governor is not only because of what Li Suna shouted when he died, but also has another meaning, that is, he hopes that the governor will go out less to fight in the future.
.
The Prime Minister intends to move the capital.
Relocating the capital is a delicate job, with many things to consider and it takes a long time.
Under such circumstances, the Prime Minister must not want to cause trouble in the war situation...
Otherwise, according to the importance of this place, even if Li Su shouted some more outrageous words before his death, the Prime Minister would not be able to send such troops to Sishui Pass...
Moreover, the bandits in Guandong were newly defeated. Although they were discouraged by the governor, they were also intimidated by the governor. The defense may be tight..."
This Zhao Cen has mediocre qualifications for fighting, but he is a good person. He is also good at understanding policies and guessing people's hearts.
What he said about Dong Zhuo's deeper intentions and Hua Xiong's predecessor could never be seen.
Hua Xiong shook his head: "You are overthinking it. The Prime Minister has no such intention. He just wants to beat me and appease the people in Bingzhou.
If he didn't want me to go out and fight, he would just tell me bluntly.
If you don't tell me directly, you don't object to me going out to fight.
Moreover, I am not going out to fight, I am just going out to pick up some armor stored there.
You just need to lead the troops to guard the checkpoint."
Zhao Cen tried to persuade him twice, but Hua Xiong refused to listen, so he stopped talking.
Looking at Hua Xiong leaving, Zhao Cen couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
What a reckless man!
Even if this kind of people can win the battle for a while, they will definitely not be able to do so for a long time.
In the future, I need to distance myself from him appropriately...
If he refuses to listen and insists on going out to fight, then he should just go out and fight.
All I have to do is guard the gate...
After three o'clock, the heavy door of Sishui Pass opened quietly, and Hua Xiong walked out first with a three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand.
The soldiers and horses behind them moved forward silently.
Yu Jin followed Hua Xiong not far away.
Gao Shun led two thousand Northern Army infantry and followed behind.
After Hua Xiong and others left Sishui Pass, Zhao Cen ordered the suspension bridge to be closed and the city gate to be closed.
Looking at the Northern Army infantry who quickly merged into the night and walked at the end, Zhao Cen couldn't help but secretly shake his head again.
I felt that Hua Xiong was really fooling around. He won several battles in succession, and after being granted the title of Marquis, he became very wandering.
Outside is the Kwantung Allied Forces, which totals 100,000 and is expected to go up. The key to hijacking the camp is to be able to come and go like the wind.
As a result, he brought two thousand infantry this time, and they were the kind of infantry that had never been on the battlefield.
Isn’t this looking for defeat?
