Wang Han led Xiao Zhang away. Although Jiang Tingcheng was an old and cunning man, no matter what he asked, he always told the truth. He couldn't kidnap her, and the task above was urgent, so in the end he had no choice but to let him go.
Wang Han left, but the deportation of prisoners in the prison camp was still going on. From time to time, Taishan Army officials could be heard preaching:
"One person has three buckets of millet, take the millet home to support your family, and don't work blindly for those lords with ribbons."
But few of the captured men and pavilion soldiers listened to what those people said. They all watched eagerly as the people in front led the millet and went out happily.
Someone in the long queue got tired of hearing what the military officer said, so he cursed at the people behind him:
"These thieves are not getting our millet, so why are they pretending to be good people? Bah."
Unexpectedly, the strong man behind him shouted back:
"That's from the government, is it yours? What is it? If someone gives you millet, that's a great kindness. Don't be so ungrateful."
He was annoyed by being scolded, and just as he was about to retort, he saw a few people behind him rushing over and glaring at him. The man panicked, cursed silently, and continued to line up obediently.
"This bunch of bastards, how could San Dou Su forget his last name? Sooner or later, he will be hanged with these thieves."
--------------------------
After a delicious meal of fried millet balls, Li Damu's troops returned from the original route at Haishi.
Along the way, we kept seeing abandoned large items of luggage. These were captured by breaking several walls during this period, but now they were abandoned on the side of the road, which really made these Taishan soldiers who came from poor men feel distressed.
But the military order is like a mountain, and the superiors have already spoken. The generals will pass it to the generals, the generals will pass it to the generals, the generals will pass it to the generals, the generals will talk to each general, and the generals will pass it to the corps commander, and the corps commander will pass it to the soldiers.
.
Anyway, it all means the same thing:
"Those who can keep up with the team will be considered first-class. If they can't keep up, they will all be transferred to the local field guards."
To protect the field soldiers? These regular soldiers of the Taishan Army, who claim to be direct descendants, are completely unacceptable, so they can only go into battle lightly. Those spear soldiers are okay, they are just spears, very light. The worst thing is the sword that is caught in the battle.
There are soldiers, swords, and armor on their backs. These things cannot be discarded under any circumstances. Then we have to throw away the bits and pieces.
But what is even more tangled is the supply camp. They are in a dilemma. They are reluctant to throw away this thing, and they are not willing to throw away that. Those brothers in the regular army are not members of the army, so they don’t have to take those odds and ends seriously. But their supply camp must ensure that everyone from top to bottom
In terms of food, clothing and logistics, for them, an axe, a chisel, and even a hemp rope all have their role.
Moreover, some things are rare and cannot be obtained no matter how hard you try, such as the cart of sesame oil. The people in the supply camp are not willing to throw it away, and they also feel sorry for this good thing. As the main force, their troops practice secrets and carry heavy loads.
In order to get some sesame oil for the brothers in the ministry, it didn't give them a headache. Now that they finally had such a cart of sesame oil, they couldn't bear to throw it away.
Just like that, in the end, the baggage camp continued to push the cart and follow the team.
But just before they had walked for a long time, suddenly one by one in front of them came, and the military order of the general Li Damu came, and the whole army marched in the direction of Mou County.
The baggage soldiers were panicked and were about to ask their brothers in the main army what was happening ahead. They saw that the brothers in front had already put on their straw sandals and started running towards the east.
The expression on the baggage commander's face changed, and he finally gritted his teeth and ordered the baggage soldiers:
"Our whole army only has these twenty pots, and all the more than four hundred brothers are pointing at these pots and eating them hot. Although we don't go to the battlefield, it is our business to let the brothers in the army eat hot when they go to the battlefield.
So except for these pots, I threw everything else to the side of the road. We have to keep up with the brothers in front."
The baggage soldier beside him asked with a mournful face:
"What about our sesame oil? Throw it away too?"
"Throw it away, throw it all away."
In this way, the baggage soldiers wiped away their tears and threw all these good things on the side of the road. Some of them wanted to dig a hole and bury them to retrieve them later. But they had no choice but to give up because they didn't have enough time.
----------
At this moment, Zhang Nan and Wang Han were sent to the ministry by Li Damu.
On a small slope, Li Damuzheng and his second general heard that he had just received the military order from his army. He said seriously to the second general:
"Qu Kui ordered us to lead our troops back to Mou County immediately, and then directly attack the city of Mou County in the early morning."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Nan was silent, and Wang Han was stunned. He no longer cared that he was a subordinate, and hurriedly advised:
"Li Tou, we are now at least forty miles away from Mou County. Sun Tzu said: If you travel fifty miles to fight for profit, you will defeat the general, and half of the way will be achieved; if you fight for thirty miles to fight for profit, two-thirds will be reached. This is still
If we march during the day, one out of every three soldiers will be left behind. But now that we are marching at night, I am worried that only one out of three will be able to reach Mou County. By then, the division’s veterans will be exhausted, how can we win?"
Li Damu waved his hand and said to Wang Han:
"I don't care how many can make it. Those who can't can catch up slowly. I demand that even if one soldier can make it, we must take this soldier to attack Mou County in the early morning."
Wang Han wanted to persuade him again, but Li Damu responded word for word:
"Military orders are like mountains."
Zhang Nan, who had been silent at this time, interrupted and asked Li Damu:
"Li Tou, what Ahan said makes sense. But I think that Qu Kui knows this, and he still issued this order, so there must be a more correct reason. Therefore, I unconditionally obey Qu Kui's military order and firmly believe that Qu Kui will lead
Leading us to the next victory. But I want to know one thing, is it only our department that has received this order? To be honest, if there is no friendly support, we are afraid that we will not be able to defeat Mou County. Even if some of the soldiers in Mou County have been
We will annihilate them in advance, but even the tribes of the big clans in the city are not something we can deal with."
Zhang Nan's words not only answered Wang Han's doubts, but also asked about the key to this operation. That is, what is the entire mission and whether they have any friendly forces to carry out the mission together.
Li Damu thought for a moment and said something to the second general:
"The one who attacks Mou County at night is not just one of our troops, but the entire three troops of You Xiaowei Army, plus Qu Kui's own troops, who are going to attack Mou County this time. They will all gather in the early morning to launch a thunderous attack on Mou County."
Zhang Nan understood this and immediately stood up to answer. After receiving the military order, he went out of the tent. He wanted to gather a few elite soldiers to attack, and the rest would slowly follow behind.
Zhang Nan received the order, and Wang Han naturally accepted the order with gritted teeth. After coming out, he caught up with Zhang Nan and asked for advice:
"Nan, please stop playing riddles with your brother. What is going on?"
Zhang Nan smiled and asked Wang Han:
"It is Adan's right commander who is attacking Mou County, so what will General Guan's left commander do?"
Wang Han was puzzled:
"What to do?"
But no one answered him. Zhang Nan had already rushed to the club to organize a night attack team.
On this night, some people are bound to feel incomprehensible, but it doesn't matter, a qualified army lies in executing military orders. From this point alone, the Taishan Army at this time is undoubtedly a real army.
-------------------
Yu Jinbu, who was stationed at the Jun's Ancestral Hall in Taishan Prefecture, also received a military order from the military headquarters at Haishi.
Their troops were not far from the headquarters, so they received military orders earlier than Li Damu and his troops.
Yu Jin immediately realized the difficulty. They marched for thirty miles during the day. As soon as they rested, they had to turn back and walk another forty miles before attacking the city. One can imagine the difficulty involved.
More importantly, he didn’t know how to talk to the brothers below?
Saying that our leader made us walk thirty miles in vain? These people will definitely make a noise. But tell them the truth? Saying that this is a military order, you have to obey it even if you don’t obey it? He was worried that by saying this, the brothers below were worried
Resentment, don’t turn around and run halfway when the time comes, everyone will be left behind.
so what should I do now?
Yu Jin, who was feeling worried, couldn't help but look at the adopted son he had just adopted. He was sleeping on a desk.
The march during the day was arduous, but the boy didn't feel tired at all and kept pace with the army all the way. He is a good young man who is perseverant and can endure hardships.
Yu Jin didn't think much about accepting this adopted son. He just thought that the child was smart and looked kind to him, so he accepted it. In the words of their scholars, this child was his adopted son. But he didn't think much about the word "螳蜉".
He was a bit taboo about it.
He knew this when he was in the collision team and patrolling the mountains with Qu Kui.
That time they happened to see a borer grabbing a borer on a mulberry tree and trying to get it home. Wei Datou, who was in the collision team with him at the time, read some books and said when he saw this scene:
"The borer has a son, and the cockroach bears it."
After seeing the strange looks in their eyes, he quickly explained:
"That's not what I said, it's what the Book of Songs says."
Then the people in the collision team looked at him even more strangely.
Wei Datou's name is Wei Lan, and he is now serving as a general under General Guo Liang. He did not follow him when he left the mountain this time. He is guarding Dazhai under the control of deputy commander Yang Mao.
At that time, Qu Kui also saw that Wei Datou was in embarrassment, so he smiled and changed the conversation, explaining the true meaning of the cockroach carrying the borer.
Qu Kui said that the borer was actually trying to lay eggs inside the borer by grabbing the borer and returning it to its nest. When its children hatched from the eggs, they would feed on the borer. But what about the people in front? They only saw the front.
In part, it is thought that a borer has no sons, and a borer has to raise it. So for a long time, the adopted son was also called a borer, but in fact this word is very vicious.
Yes, how can I not be vicious? I only adopted you as my adopted son to nourish my own flesh and blood with your flesh and blood. But is this a small thing? From Yu Jin’s observation, it is a lot.
Take him for example, he was adopted by Gongsun Ju, saying that he would be his son Gongsun Qi's companion, but in fact he was asked to risk his life to protect Gongsun Qi.
Thinking of the dead Gongsun Qi, Yu Jin wondered whether he was being tortured when he arrived at the Taishan Prefecture. But Gongsun Qi was not a bad person, and he should have suffered less.
Mr. Taishan Mansion?
This word suddenly hit Yu Jin, and he immediately turned his head to look at the wooden statue of Lord Taishan, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.
How to encourage all the more than 400 brothers? He suddenly knew what to do.
