"If the enemy arrives first, I cannot attack. It will be beneficial to attack him if he waits for change." A hundred battles and strange strategies are fought.
Starting from Huben Zhonglang General and below, the army's previous organization was based on Lang Wei's official positions such as Zhonglang, Shilang, Lang and so on. After the Huben Army divested itself of the imperial guard system, except for the imperial guard Huben Lang still maintained the previous organization.
, the current Huben army all imitated the positions in the army and were re-awarded. Wang Chang was once worshiped as Huben's minister for his merit, and after the restructuring, he was awarded the title of captain.
The Huben Army has a total of 1,500 people and does not have many military positions, so when a military meeting is called, Wang Chang, a captain, is also qualified to participate.
Discussing military plans was what Wang Chang longed for and was most proud of, but now it was what he felt most embarrassed about.
Gaishun glanced at Wang Chang coldly at the table, his eyes piercing him like a knife. Wang Chang not only made him lose face, but also made him lose the uniqueness that the emperor had for him ever since.
In fact, he could have taken advantage of his position to demote and punish Wang Chang for any mistake. But the emperor secretly warned him not to use such methods, and it seemed that he wanted to keep Wang Chang with Gaishun.
Let him always know his own stain and know how to be vigilant.
Gaishun had no choice but to hold his nose and keep Wang Chang by his side. Over time, he developed a temperament of restraint and forbearance.
Gaishun moved his gaze away from Wang Chang and directly gave the military order: "Pei Gong has an order. The location of Yangping Pass is very important. I will wait for the emergency team to arrive without any mistakes. But I have something to say in front of me. Shoot the sound
The battalion has made its first contribution. This time the vanguard engages in the battle, you must show your courage and vigor, and don't let the Northern Army see the joke! If there are more cunning, lazy and other things that damage the morale of our army, don't worry.
Blame me for ignoring our past feelings!"
When everyone heard this, they were all gearing up and eager to try. On the surface, the Northern and Southern armies were in harmony with each other, but in fact, they were secretly competing for one of the most elite names. If they didn't know that Dou Mao was leading Di people when they came.
They gathered people to conspire, and they had to compete for the opportunity to be forward from the beginning. This time everyone saw that the opportunity had come, and everyone was holding their breath, trying to suppress the Shesheng Camp's limelight.
"That's what the general said!" A captain knew what to say at this time, and responded smartly: "The country has repeatedly ordered us to strictly observe military discipline and improve the morale of the army. The so-called rewards and punishments are actually important in the army. I
Since you are a member of the imperial army, you should set an example for all the troops in the imperial court and never do the same thing again."
This was obviously meant as a compliment. After hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Wang Chang at the end. Some of them teased and snickered, until Wang Chang's face turned blue and white. He wanted to refute, but was unable to refute.
, after all, it was because of him that the whole army was humiliated in the first place. It was also because of him that the infantry captain Xu Huang, who walked out from here, never had any affection for the Huben Army.
Gaishun looked calm. In the past, the reason why he admired Wang Chang was not only because he wanted to use Wang Chang's connections in the military for generations to better secure military power, but also because of the difference between the original Wang Chang and the current one.
The captain is also good at flattering. Now that he has learned from the past, Gaishun will naturally not repeat the same mistakes of the past. He said lightly: "Liang Xing, it seems that you did not miss the lectures in the night school."
Captain Liang Xing was from Anding Wushi. In the third year of Chuping, he was selected into Huben due to his outstanding physical ability and his status as a good son of six counties. In two years, he relied on his ability to be promoted to the position of Captain.
During this period, due to his merits and outstanding performance, he was recommended to study at night school for several months.
Liangjiazi were all small landowners with certain local assets and family backgrounds. Although in Liang Xing's view, the books taught in the night school were all about the most basic ethics, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. He had already read some of the books at home but had not yet thoroughly understood them.
.He did not care about what was taught in night school, he just cared about the more convenient promotion channel that the experience of attending night school brought him.
So when he heard Gaishun's praise, he beamed with joy and replied: "Thank you, General, for the compliment!"
There is a saying in the army that they never make any false rhetoric, even if it makes Wang Chang's face look even more ugly.
Gaishun glanced at Wang Chang, and then said to Liang Xing: "You only know that the country has imperial edicts to reward and punish people, and they are actually important people in the army. But why did you forget that support is needed even in times of adversity?"
"This" Liang Xing looked embarrassed and was speechless.
Gaishun knew that the current situation was just right. He was not trying to protect Wang Chang's face, but for other reasons.
"We and Huben are the elites of the imperial court. We should work together as one body and soul." Gaishun said and suddenly stood up. He looked strong and had a clear voice, which undoubtedly added a lot to his image at the moment:
"Put away all those calculations in your heart and don't let me see them again in the future!"
These generous words quickly captured the hearts of the vast majority of the officers. Most of them were straightforward young soldiers, fresh blood who had been promoted from the middle and lower levels of the army based on their solid military exploits. They instinctively resented these intrigues. At this time, they heard
After hearing Gaishun's statement, everyone applauded him on the spot. Especially Wang Chang, who was already extremely embarrassed and angry. After hearing this, he cast a grateful glance at Gaishun and sang louder than anyone else.
All loud.
Soon, the Huben army, which had just entered the camp, packed up their gear again, set out on the mountain road again with only a small amount of food and grass, and headed for Yangping Pass in the southeast.
Gaishun and many old men in the Huben Army had seen the ruggedness of the Qinling Mountains as early as when they were in Lantian. When they suppressed bandits in Lantian Valley, the furthest they could go was as far as Fuche Mountain, and they had not even completed the Wuguan Road.
This time, we directly climbed over the entire Qinling Mountains. The mountain roads were surrounded by ferocious ups and downs like wild beasts. Some mountain roads became narrower and narrower. On one side was a steep vertical mountain wall, on the other side was an abyss. There was an unknown river flowing turbulently under the cliff.
Then, white waves hit the rocks.
In comparison, Lantian Valley looks like an ordinary mountain.
Even though everyone had seen similar wonders when they dispersed into the Qinling Mountains, it was still daunting to walk up there again, and their legs and feet felt weak. It was at this time that the saying "you must support even in times of trouble" also came to the fore.
Under the leadership of generals such as Gaishun, Liang Xing, and Wang Chang, the soldiers began to help each other. Those walking in front would remind those behind to be careful about the road, and those walking behind would take the initiative to support their weak feet.
colleagues.
After a long journey, the cohesion of the more than a thousand Tiger and Ben troops was greatly improved. At the same time, they walked out of Chencang Road and came to Yangping with very little attrition.
But when Gaishun saw the simple but large-scale fort and camp built on Yangping Mountain, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel excited.
He said to Liang Xing beside him: "Who said that the north and south mountains under Yangping City are far apart and cannot be defended?"
Liang Xing also looked surprised at this time. He was stunned for a while and then said: "It seems that the Di people from Wudu County surrendered their troops."
Gaishun actually just asked casually. He couldn't say that Sikong Zhao Wen had said similar words back then. It seemed that Zhao Wen didn't know the situation of the art of war, and some things had to be seen with his own eyes.
Seeing that Gaishun was silent, Liang Xinghui misunderstood and tried to say: "My subordinates see that their camp on the mountain is newly built, and it should have just been established. If the general is interested, it is better to ask his subordinates to take people up there to try it."
False or true?”
Gaishun sighed leisurely and said: "Other people's opinions turned out to be less than what they expected."
After he finished sighing, he replied to Liang Xing: "When you take a hundred people up the mountain to find out the truth, remember to find out the opponent's flag and who is leading the army. If it cannot be established, you will withdraw immediately and wait for the army from behind.
Don’t make any calculations beforehand to avoid unnecessary casualties.”
