On the ninth day of July, the sun is scorching and the heat is unbearable in Huaizhou.
As soon as the training session was over, the bastards of the Tianxiong Army lined up and returned to the camp.
Resting, resting, washing horses, repairing equipment, it was a busy scene.
"Heyang's new noodles are fragrant." Shao Shude and the soldiers sat on the ground and tasted the newly made steamed cakes together.
The steamed cakes are made of white flour and pig paste (fatty oil). They are fragrant when they are first made, and everyone enjoys them.
"Heyang was conquered by all the soldiers who fought hard. At that time, Pang Shigu's 120,000 troops besieged Heqing. The battle was intense and the supply of food and grass was difficult. I don't know how many masters and draft animals were killed under the sheep intestine path from Heqing to the king's house.
." Shao Shude said: "That was an adventure for me. Fortunately, the soldiers sacrificed their lives, and God also helped. It rained continuously for months, and Pang Shigu finally retreated. Now in Heyang, cattle and sheep are being wild, and millet and wheat are yellow. Every time I think about it,
Now, it’s clear. Come here, bring me some wine.”
The sergeants cheered loudly. At the same time, they also said that Heyang is what it is today because of everyone's hard work. Yuanxian, Wangwu, Qiziling, Zhiguan, and Heqing are all soaked in blood. This world is not about opportunism.
It was obtained with swords and guns.
Soon someone brought dozens of jars of wine.
"Your Majesty, we have a military report." Ye Li Kecheng, the commander of the soldiers, came over and whispered.
Shao Shude was a little helpless. This kid had to learn from Li Zhong, so he had no eyesight.
After taking it and taking a look, it turned out to be something about Wei Bo.
Wei Bo's Jiedushi Luo Hongxin was seriously ill, and undercurrents surged in the town. Although Wei soldiers were domineering and it was very risky to be a Jiedushi, he was the leader of a town after all, and there were still people interested in that position, mainly Li Gongquan and Shi Renyu.
Second general.
To be fair, Luo Hongxin is a man with vision, means and scheming. When the army in Weizhou was in chaos and the Yamen soldiers asked on the street who wanted to be the governor, Luo Hongxin also arranged for someone to make up a "white-bearded old man" to identify him.
The cliché story about Luo Hongxin being the military governor, the sergeants were all in charge, and it was pretty much the same for anyone who could be the military governor, so Luo Hongxin was given the position.
After Luo came to power, he did not overly accommodate the sergeants, but still maintained a stable situation. It would be too much to say that he had no ability. But although Wei Bo has money, food, and many soldiers, it is really not a good place, no matter what you do
Even if you are a hero, you will be trapped by the sergeant and unable to realize your ambitions.
Luo Hongxin should have given up on the idea of pursuing his ambitions in this troubled world long ago. All he thinks about now is how to pass on his position to his son, and has no other unrealistic thoughts.
However, Luo Shaowei was weak in his youth and lacked prestige in the army. He might not be able to be elected as the governor on his own. At this time, he had to find foreign aid. In the past, due to various considerations, he chose Zhu Quanzhong, but the result of the Xuzhou War was
He was greatly disappointed. One hundred thousand Liang troops were wiped out, and Quanzhong was no longer able to frighten the unruly warriors in the six states of Weibo, so it was time to replace him.
Shao Shude sent an envoy to Weizhou at the end of May, and he has stayed there until now and has not returned. The Wei people treated each other with courtesy, but did not give any clear answers. This time there was some movement. Luo Hongxin frequently sought out the Xia army envoys.
They met many times and asked King Xia what he thought of Wei Bo's affairs.
What do you think? Shao Shude sneered in his heart, I want to kill all the 80,000 warriors of Wei Bo, is that okay?
Moreover, he didn't believe that Luo Hongxin was only looking for him. This guy must also be looking for Li Keyong. Riding on both sides of the wall and jumping horizontally repeatedly, isn't this Wei Bo's specialty?
He still needs to discuss this matter with his staff. At present, he only has a vague idea: Maybe he can take this opportunity to change Wei Bo Jiedushi from military recommendation to appointment. Wei Bowufu must lose the power to elect Jiedushi.
.
"Erlang, open the cover and pour wine for the soldiers." Shao Shude had a plan, so he pressed the matter and ordered his son.
Shao Chengjie immediately stood up and poured wine for the ten people sitting nearby.
Those present were all rough warriors. They knew the rules of King Xia, so they sat still and thanked him after taking the wine bowl.
It’s no big deal, Corporal Xia Wang Lixian, the big deal is selling his life to Xia Wang and his son, what a big deal!
"I am already in my early forties, and as a descendant of the Shaw family, I still have to rely on you to support me. Let me offer you a bowl first." Shao Shude raised the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone drank it all in one gulp. The wine flowed down their beards and mixed with the wet sweat on their chests.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Whoever dares to cause trouble in this world will be kidnapped and sacrificed."
"Your Majesty, you should come to the army more often, listen to what we have to say, and let everyone see you more."
"Your Majesty is good at martial arts. Today he shot six out of eight arrows while wearing armor. He defeated Zhang Dalang. He is indeed the King's son. We are convinced."
Shao Shude laughed loudly after hearing this, stroked his son's back, and said: "I have made a rule. From now on, the son of the Shao family will go to the army for training every year, and will eat and live with the soldiers. In the future, even if I am gone, this
The rules must continue. Erlang, do you know?"
"I sincerely obey my uncle's order. The descendants of the Shao family, who are capable of governing the country and ensuring peace, and who are capable of riding horses to kill the enemy, should go to the army in person to understand the sufferings of the soldiers and comfort the morale of the soldiers." Shao Chengjie replied.
"This looks pretty cool." Shao Shude said with a smile: "Wherever I go from now on, the soldiers will also move there. Everyone will have land, and the land and houses will be passed down to their children and grandchildren. They will live together and enjoy this peaceful world."
"Among you are the old men from Guanbei who have been with me for many years, the able men from Helong, the elite from Guanzhong, and the brave men from Liang. They are all my sons and daughters, regardless of whether they are close or distant."
"The rules I set twenty years ago are that in the battle formation, if a lieutenant runs away, kill a lieutenant, ten generals will flee, and ten generals will be killed. If I run away, everyone please kill me. After the war, everyone will be rewarded for their merits, and they will be rich and powerful.
.Come, have another bowl."
Everyone was in high spirits and followed Shao Shude to have another bowl.
Shao Chengjie also had the courage to drink a bowl, and everyone praised him.
His face was flushed and he seemed to be very happy. He followed his mother's instructions and secretly pondered his father's methods.
First, let's talk about Heyang's achievements today, so that everyone can feel that they have a share of the credit. Then they will talk about the land and the inheritance of the fields and houses to their descendants. Considering that they all have a lot of money and silk rewards in their families, these days
We are indeed rich. Finally, we emphasize the rules, what are the consequences of escaping from battle, and urge everyone to fight bravely.
Several things were said in a relatively tactful way, not offensive, and very natural. My father really attached great importance to the military spirit that was nicknamed the "Forbidden Army" after the reorganization, and he devoted a lot of effort.
A major reorganization, which reorganized the troops that had become increasingly chaotic over the past twenty years, incorporated more sergeants into the direct troops, and then personally restored the morale of the troops. Why do you do this? There is too much knowledge here. Shao Erlang
Suddenly I felt that my father was indeed "treacherous", and his emphasis on and control over the troops exceeded many people's imagination. Some people jokingly called King Xia the "Soldier King", and it was not nonsense.
"Your Majesty, there is another military report." Ye Li Kecheng disappeared for a while and then suddenly appeared again.
Damn it! Shao Shude really felt that he could not marry his daughter to this guy. Although they had played together since childhood and were childhood sweethearts.
After taking it, he scanned it roughly and found that it was also sent by Li Hang, who was offering wine in the East Pavilion of the Prince's Palace. He had an envoy in Caozhou, and Yan Zhuzhen asked for the post of Jiedushi Envoy of the Guilin Army.
Erlang was really fooled, Zhu Zhen just wanted to go to Xuzhou.
Does this guy really think he can sell it for a price? The only troops he can fight are the left and right sudden generals, the left and right Yanei armies, the Pengri and Pengsheng armies are still embarrassing. Recently, Huazhou and Shanzhou betrayed him.
I was so worried that I still dared to raise this condition.
"Tianxiong Jun Erlang has been training together for more than a month. We must be prepared to fight in battle." Shao Shude calmly put away the military report and said: "Zhu Quanzhong of Bianzhou cannot be allowed to resurrect. Zhu Zhen of Caozhou, if he can
If you don't come, you will surrender without losing your wealth. If you don't come, you will have to let everyone punch him a few times to wake him up."
The sergeants burst out laughing after hearing this, and some even made fun of Zhu Zhen.
So far, Zhu Zhen's troops have not been taken seriously by everyone since they have won consecutive battles. Now that the king has said this, everyone must work harder to liberate Caozhou.
"And my sworn brother in Jinyang has always been proud of the fact that the Jin army is the most powerful in the world, but I don't believe it. If we face him in the future, he must not lose my face." Shao Shude said again.
"Your Majesty, please relax. Let's fight the Wei soldiers, Jin soldiers, Zhao soldiers, and Yan soldiers together. Let him kneel down and call me grandpa."
"A Jin soldier? I fought with General Ge Cong and Zhou Ge back then, and it was just like that."
"Li Cunxiao boasted so much that he and Li Hanzhi could not defeat us. Ding Hui and Dingdu killed them in Heyang and defeated them."
Shao Shude was very happy after hearing this. Which battalion, which team, and which fire he went to were not randomly selected. They must be safe and representative. There were Liang people surrendering in this fire, and they also participated, which shows that there has been a change.
It's good to have a good mentality. To digest the surrender of troops, you can't just add them to the army. That way they just clock in and go to work, without any subjective initiative. You have to let them see the future and be motivated to fight hard.
After having fun with the sergeants for a long time, Shao Shude and his son left the Tianxiong Army station and returned to Huaizhou overnight.
"It's time for the Tielin Army to be mobilized and prepare an order." Shao Shude said to Lu Siye.
"As commanded."
The Tielin Army originally had 26,000 people, but after reorganization there were 30,000. It can be said that the changes were not too big. After two months, they have almost become familiar with each other and are fully ready to go to war.
Li Tangbin has been on standby for a long time, and the Puzhou camp can be formally established. With the Tielin Army's 30,000 infantry and cavalry as the core, Zhang Guihou's troops on standby in Zhengzhou went south to join together, supplemented by the Feilong Army's right wing Liang Hanyong and Pu Bing Shao
Lunbu and He Gui brought a small number of sergeants from Yunzhou, totaling 40,000 to 50,000 people, which was quite a lot.
As for how to get there, of course we have to go to Songzhou first.
In June, the summer grain harvest was harvested. With so many households in Songzhou, it was more than enough to supply the left and right Tielin armies with 30,000 infantry and cavalry.
What he faces along the way is not only the remnants of Zhu Quanzhong in Songzhou, but also direct conflicts with Zhu Zhen, Zhu Jin, and Zhu Wei. In addition, Shao Shude recently heard an unconfirmed news that Zhu Xuan has never been
After entering the imperial court, he has stayed in Weibo until now, and may return to Yuncheng at any time.
Zhu Xuan, Zhu Jin, Zhu Wei, Zhu Zhen, why are there so many people named Zhu who are against me?
"The Zhenguo Army was organized into the Xuzhou Camp Operation Order and headed for Zhengzhou."
In fact, it is just a tens of thousands of people in the Zhenguo Army.
"The bodyguards and troops are staying in Luoyang."
"The two armies of Wuxing and Guzhen marched to Linhuan, and appointed Feng Yin, the envoy of the Wuxing army, as Xu Suhaosi's envoy to recruit, consolidate the town, and put the troubled army under his control."
The three armies of Wuxing, Guzhen, and Zhenguo were all mobilized from the rear. After being supplied in Luoyang, they are now ready to go into battle.
"Send an ultimatum to Lu Huaizhong. The Wuwei Army has been reorganized and is training on the spot in Ruzhou. I will arrive soon to train with the soldiers."
The left and right Wuwei armies have just completed their reorganization and annexed Jishi and Shunyi. These two troops that are not "rooted and mature" are currently stationed in Ruzhou. Shao Shude works tirelessly and plans to continue to eat, live and train with the "Forbidden Army" soldiers.
.
After the military training in Wuwei is completed, he will start the reorganization of the fourth Forbidden Army in September and October.
