After inspecting the five military camps, Liu Xiang ascended the tent and summoned the military princes from each camp to obey orders in the central tent.
When everyone was gathered, Liu Xiang sat behind the bill and said, "Every battalion commander, please report the status of your headquarters."
There are a thousand cavalrymen in the Yueqi camp, led by two military lords, who have always been with Liu Xiang. Needless to say.
The two thousand crossbowmen of the Shesheng Battalion, led by four military lords, have been stationed in Fanyang in recent days, and no major incidents have occurred.
There were originally six military princes in the guard camp, but now one is stationed in Beixin City, commanding 6,700 infantry.
A new military lord was promoted, stationed in the small town of Baoding, and commanded 2,000 people.
The Fanyang camp is under the control of five military princes. After several days of reorganization, more than 7,000 regular soldiers were selected and distributed with iron weapons. There were 10,000 regular soldiers and 21,000 spearmen.
Each military prince commanded two thousand regular soldiers and four thousand two hundred spearmen.
The eleven military princes reported one by one. Except for the lack of combat equipment in the guard camp and the lack of training for new recruits, the rest of the troops were in normal condition and ready to fight at any time.
Liu Xiang nodded, the situation was not bad. When he patrolled the camp, he paid special attention to the expressions of the soldiers. There was no worry or fear, which showed that the morale was good.
"Everyone returns to the camp to prepare. Tomorrow the whole army will pull out the camp and send out troops to settle down."
"only."
Gu'an County is northwest of Fanyang, on the north bank of Yishui River, sixty miles away.
The countryside of Gu'an and Qiu have been cleared by Liu Xiang. These two places are not dangerous fortresses and can be attacked overnight as soon as the soldiers arrive.
In the entire army, few were nervous or fearful.
After handling the military affairs in the camp, Liu Xiang returned to the county government, summoned the county captain Di Bai, and arranged for the defense to be changed in the city. The Shesheng camp was about to go out, and Fan Yang's city defense was to be handed over to the county soldiers.
"Bingfang, you are in charge of three thousand county soldiers, stationed in Fanyang, and look after the supplies. Is it possible?" There are heavy troops stationed on the north and south roads of Fanyang, so it is not dangerous.
When the Shesheng Battalion was defending the city before, its attention was also on the new recruits to prevent these new recruits from causing rebellion. After the army went out, Fan Yang's defensive pressure actually weakened.
Liu Xiang asked this just because he wanted Di Bai to think more about it and not to ruin things due to negligence.
"I will guard the city carefully, take care of the general's baggage, transport grain and grass, and live up to the general's trust."
Liu Xiang also warned: "Although the army breaks camp and marches westward, the civilians will not take them away. Bingfang has to take care of the civilian camps. The affairs are complicated and hard work."
"Di is willing to go to pieces to repay the general's kindness."
Di Bai's family background was not good, and he had been ostracized before. Liu Xiang promoted him to the county captain and gave him a family background. Even if his family changed its family, future generations could consider themselves as nobles and no longer the head of Guizhou.
This is a real kindness, of course, the premise is that Liu Xiang will not be defeated.
In Liu Xiang's territory, there are thousands of people like Di Bai, and their property, interests, and origins are all tied to Liu Xiang.
They saw a new world, they had a new life, and they were willing to fight for it.
This is Liu Xiang's foundation. As time goes by, the interest groups surrounding him will become larger and larger, and his strength will become stronger and stronger.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was an era that paid attention to class origin. According to modern terms, everyone had his own circle. If you were not in the circle, people would not play with you, or even bother to talk to you...
Liu Xiang wanted to establish a circle of his own, and then use military power to force others to recognize him.
Otherwise, he will beat you.
If you don't want to play with me, I won't let you play.
This is the essence of the matter. He understands this truth more and more now. As long as he grasps this point, he can go further.
………
The next day, the army broke out of camp and set off, but Liu Xiang did not resort to any means of swearing an oath and sacrificing the flag.
It's not necessary, and it's not a major battle. Breaking camp is very time-consuming. If there's something going on, there's no need to march today.
In order to speed up the march, Liu Xiang mobilized 8,000 carts to transport the baggage.
There were many locals in the army. Under the guidance of soldiers who were familiar with the terrain, the army marched thirty-five miles north, crossed the Yishui River, and rested on the north bank for the night.
Then it turned eastward, followed the direction of the Yishui River, and continued upstream for more than twenty miles, preparing to set up camp ten miles away from the east gate of Gu'an.
The people of Gu'an have long known that Fan Yang divided the fields, and they also heard that the fields were not allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
We cannot fall behind.
If they hadn't heard that Fan Yang had no free land, they would have gone to Fan Yang.
When the common people along the way saw the flag of the Anping Army, they gathered together. Of course they did not dare to block the way of the army, but just followed the army all the way. Some people even called friends and sent people to the village pavilions to spread the news
letter.
If you don't inform the folks about such a good deed, you will be stabbed in the back, and you will not be able to hold your head up as a human being in the future.
More and more people gathered together, and later they elected leaders based on rural pavilions and gathered into teams to follow the army.
Liu Xiang only needs to send someone to guide him.
The army went in front, and the people from all over the country followed behind. After walking for twenty miles, his team doubled in size.
Liu Xiang really saw what it meant to march and grow all the way, and the scale of the peasant uprising was evident from this.
This is their power, although they don't know what kind of power they have or how to use it.
The gathering of people would of course affect the march. It took nearly a day to walk twenty miles, and it was only in the evening that we arrived to reserve a place.
^0^set.
But everything has advantages and disadvantages, it all depends on the choice.
How could Liu Xiang refuse the people to follow him? He divided the fields among the people just because he wanted to control this power.
Set up camp first.
Only by setting up a good camp will you not be afraid of being attacked and will you be in an invincible position. Be invincible first, then wait for the enemy to be victorious.
Be careful and don't give the enemy an opportunity. Although Liu Xiang doesn't think Gu'an has any chance, you can't lose your vigilance when marching and fighting. There is nothing wrong with being cautious ten thousand times. If you neglect it once, you may be ruined.
The camp was set up, and patrols and sentries were arranged. The sentry sent to Gu'an City previously reported no abnormality, so the army was considered safe.
You can now handle the affairs of the people.
There were about thirty thousand civilians following the army.
Exactly how many fields are there in Gu'an?
Liu Xiang didn't know that he had looted many manors and forts, and the land of those powerful landlords was not enough to distribute to 30,000 people.
It is estimated that the common people do not know about this issue, and it is too late to inquire now.
You can't allocate wasteland to others, right? Aren't you afraid of being beaten for fooling the people like this?
Tiqi is not qualified.
"I need someone who is good at intelligence." Liu Xiang muttered.
He deliberately forgot that he did not order Tiqi to inquire about the land. In the past, the city was captured first and then the fields were divided. Fan Yang only divided some of the fields of powerful landowners first, and then recruited troops to attack the city.
So I'm here, I didn't play according to the routine, I made a mistake.
"Tiqi sent orders to the people everywhere, and the Anping Army recruited militiamen. Those who passed the assessment would be given priority to allocate fields.
The common people present this time who failed to pass the assessment will be divided into fields as the second echelon. Tell them that General Anping promised that they will be assigned fields.
If there is not enough land here, the Anping Army will give them a piece of land."
As Liu Xiang spoke, he wrote down the notice, and finally added:
"Those who didn't come are not qualified to divide the fields."
:m..
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
