Chapter One Hundred and Forty Five Armored Soldiers
"Whenever you are fighting with the enemy, if there is a convenient situation, you should seize it first and win by fighting." [Hundred Battle Strategies·War]
Fu Qian's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed. In fact, he was not a person who gave up his life for the so-called imperial territory and the people in his country at first, because in his opinion, the emperor was stupid and ignorant, and wise men were not allowed to be in the imperial court.
It's not worth sacrificing his life to hold on. It's better to retreat to the countryside as soon as possible, lead a righteous disciple, and wait for the Ming Lord to come out and help the world.
This rhetoric was not accepted by his father Fu Xie. Instead, he put it into practice and used his own life to tell him that when the country was in chaos, people should not just think about being alone.
After Fu Xie's death, Fu Qian has been retreating to the countryside. Because of his father's death, he has always been hostile to the Han Dynasty. He even wanted to wait for a hero not named Liu to appear in these troubled times so that he could assist him.
Helping the world. But until the emperor began to respect heroes and heroes, and repeatedly issued edicts to conscript Fu Qian into the Secretary's Prison, and the emperor gradually showed a bright and wise attitude, Fu Qian's originally rock-solid heart was slightly shaken.
Later, under the persuasion of Fu Xun, Fu Rui, Fu Yun and other relatives who were honored by the emperor, Fu Qian reluctantly returned to life.
It was only after he personally came into contact with the emperor that he understood why his father was so full of confidence in the court and why he generously said before his death, "The current court is not as good as Yin and Zhou, how can I be as virtuous as Boyi?"
to motivate him.
"Yancai?" Ju Juan looked at Fu Qian from the side, his eyes blank, and he was silent for a long time. He thought that calling him by his cousin's name was making people think too much, so he changed his words: "Fu Jun?"
"Oh." Fu Qian suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "I just lost my manners, so I hope you won't be surprised."
Ju Jun was an upright person. Although he had learned some arithmetic and military tactics from his uncle Ju Shou, he was not as scheming as those scholars from Ju Shou. He didn't know that Fu Qian had just been criticized for his casual words.
But after thinking a lot, Zhu Hao, who was following him, quietly understood that when the news of Fu Xie's death reached Luoyang, his father Zhu Jun was serving as the Tunqi Colonel, as a reserve soldier for the Qiang expedition, and he knew everything about it.
.
But whether the real culprit who killed his father should be blamed on the imperial court depends on what Fu Qian thinks. At least now, it seems that Fu Qian should be back on the right path and will not let Fu Xie suffer from Jiuquan.
Very disappointed.
"Yangping still has a long mountain road to go from Ju County. I have to be careful about Dou Mao going south in the past few days. I don't dare to go out of the city to spy. As for what Yangping is doing now, I don't know." Fu Gan heard Ju Juan repeat it.
question, he shook his head and said.
Ju Jun felt a little disappointed and asked again: "How much food and grass does Ju County still have in its treasury?"
Fu Qian replied slowly: "It has only been a few months since I was ordered to go to Ju County. It is the beginning of spring now. Ju County is small and the people are poor. There are only more than 2,000 households. There is a shortage of wheat and millet. It may be difficult to support the army."
He had spent two years in the Secretary's Prison with Fazheng and other good soldiers, and he had a certain understanding of the art of war. He soon understood what Ju Jun was thinking. Although he also wanted to take this opportunity to attack Zhang Lu before he could react.
Seize Yangping, but their own grain and grass is indeed a problem. The existing grain reserves not only cannot allow the four to five thousand people under Ju Jun to successfully complete the remaining Chencang Road and reach Yangping, but they can even stay in Ju County for a few more days.
Very difficult.
"I, Lieutenant Ju, want to pacify Hanzhong for the country as soon as possible, but the situation is like this." Fu Qian persuaded in a good voice: "Why don't you stay here first, and wait until I summon the rich households in the county to persuade them to lose wheat and millet; or wait until Sili
The captain and others have come out of danger, so it's not too late to make further calculations."
Ju Jun pondered for a long time and then spoke with a worried tone: "It's just that Dou Mao and other remnants of the Di people fled into the mountains. I traveled south and got many escapees. The Chencang Road leads directly to Hanzhong. I'm worried that they will flee to Hanzhong through the mountain trails."
, to make Zhang Lu wary."
Zhu Hao interjected at the side and said: "My home is in Kuaiji, and there are mountains and forests. The tigers and wolves in the mountains are ferocious, and deer and rabbits are difficult to catch. If a person goes into the mountains alone without food rations, he will not survive. Those Di people will flee.
In the mountains and forests, let alone whether they can find the path in the mountains, it is not easy to survive in these vast mountains, let alone run to Hanzhong, just in time for Zhang Lu to know?"
Seeing that Zhu Hao, who was familiar with the mountains and fields, said this, half of Ju Jun's worries disappeared.
The one with the highest official position here was Ju Jun. Fu Qian knew that Ju Jun was eager to make contributions for various reasons and was worried that he would be in danger, so he followed Zhu Hao and said, "It doesn't matter even if Zhang Lu knows about it. He knows my destiny."
The army has arrived, and it must be at a loss. How can we build a stronghold and gather troops to fight in a hurry?"
Seeing what Fu Qian and Zhu Hao said, Ju Jun was unwilling to go his own way. Besides, he had already given up the idea when he heard about the shortage of food and grass.
After the Shesheng Battalion had been stationed in Ju County for more than ten days, the 20,000-strong army led by Sili Colonel Pei Mao and Huben Zhonglang General Gaishun in the rear finally arrived belatedly and rushed outside Ju County.
There were more than 50,000 to 60,000 civilians who were drafted by Wei Duan, the governor of Wudu, to transport grain. They were camped under the city and flags were flying. It was very spectacular and became a rare sight in this small county in a hundred years.
Pei Mao, the lieutenant of the Sili School, Gaishun, the lieutenant of Huben, the Shizhong, and the leader of the army. Xun You and others listened to the face-to-face accounts of Ju Jun and others in the camp outside the city.
The decision was made: "General Gai Lang can immediately lead more than 8,000 tiger soldiers, march day and night, and rush to Yangping quickly. After so many days, the rice thieves must know the whereabouts of our army, and there must be defenses under Yangping City, and Gai Lang will encounter the enemy.
Army, if you can attack, attack; if you can't, form a camp and garrison, waiting for my army to arrive later."
After speaking, Xun You asked Pei Mao symbolically: "What do you think, Duke Pei?"
Pei Mao was only a few years older than Xun You, and the other party only addressed him because of his integrity and official position, which gave him face as the commander of an army. He pretended to think for a while, then slowly nodded and said calmly
: "The Huben army attacked the Aoguan Pass in the Lantian Valley and forced the overturned mountain bandits. They were familiar with the use of troops in the mountains. This time, they changed the position to the vanguard, which suits them well. Jun Xun's plan is very thorough."
After Xun You heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head, but smiled and said nothing.
Gaishun didn't know what he thought of, his face turned slightly red, but he still generously replied: "The last general will accept your order!"
After saying that, he left without any hesitation.
Ju Jun looked at Gaishun with envy. He knew that he had achieved great success last time, and Gaishun was the emperor's most favored young general. Although the limelight in the past two years was not as good as before, no matter whether it was emotional or rational,
, he should give up the opportunity to Geshun this time, otherwise he would always be the vanguard leading the troops, which would make other generals in the army feel dissatisfied.
After Gaishun walked out of the tent, his face suddenly dropped with joy because he had received the military order. No one knew what he was thinking, only he himself knew it. Just now Pei Mao mentioned that he had conquered
The deeds of Liu Xiongming in Fuche Mountain were not intended to praise his Tiger and Ben troops for their familiarity with mountain warfare, but to remind him not to make the mistakes of the past again.
Although this was a well-intentioned reminder, it didn't sound comfortable. Instead, it sounded like a deliberate sarcasm.
Especially since that 'mistake' from the beginning is still standing under his banner, making him regret every time he sees it.
