Luocaopo is an uninhabited land with a radius of a hundred miles, and there are no villages or towns around it. Because it is close to the border, more than two hundred miles away in a straight line to the north is the cliff mountain range. People from enemy countries often cross over to cause trouble. In addition, the land here is barren and uninhabitable.
So there are no villages or towns.
The straight-line distance from here to the right is more than a hundred miles to Xianyang City.
A few months ago, the Xieyang City scouts discovered that an enemy army appeared in this area. They came through an unknown route. The number was more than a thousand people. The exact number was unknown, but it definitely did not exceed 1,500 people, so they sent troops to come.
Encirclement and suppression.
It stands to reason that there are more than a million troops of the Dali Dynasty stationed in Xieyang City. When this enemy army of more than a thousand people comes, it is no different from ants jumping in front of a giant dragon. It is purely an act of seeking death. However, within a few months,
It passed, and the enemy army was still jumping around...
Could it be that the 'giant dragon' couldn't kill the ant? In fact, it was just a matter of blowing a breath, but the opponent was still jumping around. This was the problem of the army that came to encircle and suppress it.
The higher-ups of Xianyang City’s army will definitely not take such a trivial matter seriously. Their main focus is on the main battlefield in the north and on the battle situation of the entire Dali Dynasty facing the three northern kingdoms. Of course, such trivial matters are also important.
Pay attention, otherwise how could Li Qiu know what is going on here and throw Yunjing here.
However, there must be someone specifically responsible for such a small matter. The troops sent by the person in charge to encircle and suppress the situation did not do anything. That is the matter of the person in charge. It is a taboo in the military for others to meddle rashly.
Several months have passed, and this jumping enemy army has not yet been captured. The person in charge must be angry. After all, he has no shame in the face of his colleagues. Therefore, the troops who have come to encircle and suppress the enemy army in recent times are under great pressure.
It's so big. I don't know how many people will be unlucky after being punished by the superiors.
However, there is no point in being stressed, you have to complete the task.
But the enemy army is so cunning that they never fight head-on. Instead, they lead the encirclement and suppression troops by the nose, leaving them exhausted and unable to defeat them...
Because of this matter, the senior officers of the army who came to encircle and suppress him were so depressed that they lost countless hairs.
I haven't been able to get this little thing done for several months. I don't even know how much I've eaten. Let alone promotion, it's okay if I haven't been pushed down. The future is always bleak, unless the task is completed to balance the success and failure.
, otherwise just wait for the military regulations to be dealt with. The order of punishment from above may come down one day.
The area around Luocao Slope is desolate and uninhabited. The enemy is still active in this area. The purpose is of course not to rob many things, but to pay attention to the movements of Xieyang City's army...
The troops who came to Luocaopo to exterminate the enemy were stationed on a hilltop. It had a wide view and was condescending, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, the enemy would not come here to attack stupidly. They were here to cause trouble, not to risk their lives.
Consumption...
In the afternoon, in the wind and snow, Yunjing and others had already seen the military camp on the top of the mountain from a distance.
The first time he saw the place, Yun Jing felt that it was lifeless and had no vitality at all. Thinking about it, it was true that he had not been able to capture an enemy army that was causing trouble for several months. It was strange that there was vitality here. There was probably a lot of vitality there.
The soldiers, with the idea of dawdling, either accept the punishment that they don't know when it will come and be transferred elsewhere, or they continue to waste their time like this.
Liu Fang didn't think much about it. He was just a small official in the logistics and transportation team. After seeing the destination, he smiled and said: "Master Yun, the sledge you came up with is really easy to use. Originally, we have to travel more than a hundred miles.
It won't arrive until noon tomorrow at least, and it saves a whole day. Thanks to you, if we complete the task so quickly, we might even get a commendation from the superior officer."
"Master Liu, please don't say that. I'm just talking. All the credit is due to the soldiers along the way." Yunjing shook his head and said, not daring to take credit.
As they were talking, they gradually approached the military camp over there. Hou Xicai and Lu Wencheng were also looking at that side, thinking that it would be the place where they would practice and study for the next period of time.
In fact, Yunjing and the others did not know the situation here, let alone that the mission of the army was to encircle and suppress the enemy, and that the stalemate lasted for several months.
After all, they are not qualified to know these military secrets. Anyway, they are here for the purpose of learning and experience.
The arrival of their transport team was quickly discovered by troops on the distant mountains. An army of about a hundred people quickly came towards them, and the camp itself was also on alert.
The team coming down from the mountain braved the wind and snow and stopped a few hundred meters in front of Yunjing and the others. The bows and arrows in their hands were already pointed at this side. One of the knights said loudly: "Who is coming? Please report your name quickly for verification."
Stand upright, otherwise you will be killed as an enemy without mercy!"
After all, there were hundreds of people on Yunjing's side, so how could they not be alert when approaching the opposite side rashly.
Liu Fang signaled Yunjing and the others to follow him, and rode forward until he came to the front of the team and faced the other side from a distance.
Yunjing and the others knew that Liu Fang asked them to follow him out of good intentions, allowing them to observe the army's contact process at close range. Although this kind of thing was just a simple process, Yunjing and the others had never experienced it, and they also needed to learn to pay attention.
In the future, I will personally participate in such a process.
Arriving at the front, Liu Fang loudly said: "Logistics transport officer Liu Fang has been ordered to deliver military supplies to the Luocaopo soldiers."
"How to prove it?" the other person said warily.
Liu Fang said: "There is a military order here, there is a seal to prove it, and there is a code to prove it!"
"Others stop, you submit it for inspection," the other party said again.
So Liu Fang signaled Yunjing and the others to stay where they were, and rode over alone to present evidence and contact them.
It may seem like a troublesome process, but it is actually very necessary. There have been many scenes in history where the enemy took advantage of the opportunity to attack under the guise of transporting supplies. Countless bloody lessons have led to today's meticulousness and caution.
Many times, when troops on an expedition heard that logistical supplies were coming, they were so happy that they couldn't find the north, and they were accidentally attacked...
Liu Fang soon made contact with the other party, and the weapons over there were immediately put down. Yun Jing vaguely heard the other party saying in an excited tone that you are finally here.
Then, a few people from the opposite team went back to report and lift the alert on the mountain, while the rest came directly to protect the supplies. They said they were protecting, but in fact they also meant to check for precautions.
The leader of the team coming from the opposite side was walking with Liu Fang. After his subordinates quickly checked to confirm that they were supplies, he motioned for everyone to continue to the military camp. However, he asked Liu Fang in surprise: "Master Liu, what are you doing?"
You came so quickly. We received the news. It stands to reason that you will not come until at least noon tomorrow. We planned to send someone to pick you up early tomorrow morning, but you came before we had time."
Hearing this, Yun Jing understood that the reason why they were so nervous before was because the time was wrong.
Liu Fang replied: "Originally, we would not arrive until tomorrow. The reason why it is so fast is naturally due to the new delivery vehicle, which saves us a lot of time."
"If this is the case, tell me..."
After the other party initially understood the effectiveness of the sledge, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "This is good, this is good. In this icy and snowy wilderness, if we are equipped with this thing, we will be able to greatly increase our marching speed, which will be much more convenient for chasing the enemy."
, If we had this thing earlier, the enemy army might have been wiped out, but it's not too late now, I will report to the general later and let the craftsmen build this kind of sledge."
Hearing what he said, Yun Jing thought that the other party could quickly think of military affairs, and he seemed to be a very quick-thinking person.
Think about it, where do so many idiots come from? It’s one thing to not think of a tool before it goes out, but it’s weird if you can’t put it to use after you go out.
When the group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain, there were already people waiting eagerly at the gate of the military camp on the mountain. They must have been looking forward to the arrival of the supplies.
On the way up the mountain, Liu Fang said to Yun Jing and others: "Master Yun, I have to go to the military camp here to hand over supplies, so I can't accompany you. It's getting late now, and we may be busy until the evening. We will rest here for the night.
I will go back tomorrow morning, and I won’t say hello to you then. I have already explained your purpose of coming to Captain Zhang, and he will arrange it for you later. As for the follow-up mission arrangement for you here, it depends on the wishes of the local commander.
I can’t make the decision, but I should see the local garrison generals when the handover happens, and I will try my best to put in a good word for you if I have the chance."
"I understand, thank you, Mr. Liu," Yunjing and the others nodded.
Liu Fang shook his head and said: "You're welcome, I should."
Liu Fang had seen the performance of Yunjing and the others along the way, and thought that the arrival of Yunjing and others might be able to change the stalemate here, but that would depend on whether the local generals could take Yunjing and the others seriously.
Captain Zhang, who came to greet them, was also looking at Yunjing and the others, but his attitude was flat. He nodded as if he had said hello, and his eyes mostly showed disinterest.
It's not that he has any objections to scholars like Yunjing and the others, he really doesn't think highly of Yunjing and the others.
It’s not like there were no scholars who came here before. Some came to gild, some came to learn. Several groups came in succession, but no one stayed for a month. The longest stay was
He left in just twenty days.
The reason why this happens is because those who come to gild think of themselves as uncles and they think they are here to enjoy the blessings. Luocaopo is desolate and there is no entertainment. Those guys don't like anything they see. In addition, they live a hard life and have no patience, so
He found an excuse and ran away.
As for the scholars who came to learn things, they persisted longer, but their army could not defeat the enemy for a long time. They spent most of their time in the military camp. After those people became familiar with various processes, they felt that they could not learn anything.
, and my talents were not reflected, so I tried to find a way to leave.
Scholars were restricted from joining the army to gain experience, but they were non-staff, and it didn’t matter which scholar was there? So the local generals who were leaving were not retained, as they were.
Based on the performance of the previous scholars, although this army could not be said to be disgusted by the arrival of Yunjing and others, they did not have a favorable impression either, and they really did not take it to heart.
Even Captain Zhang was still thinking that Yunjing and the other scholars didn't know how long they could stay.
Then, it stands to reason that when scholars like Yunjing and others arrive, the military should show some kind of welcome and hold some welcoming ceremony. After all, if you build a good relationship in advance, God knows how high the scholars will climb in the future.
As a result, due to the behavior of the previous scholars, Yunjing and the others arrived and were taken into the military camp by Captain Zhang. They registered for a while, then arranged a place to live, warned them not to run around, and waited for notification of follow-up arrangements, and then nothing happened.
In the tent, Yun Jing and the three of them looked at each other. What was this?
