On the second day, the troops were divided into four groups. Under Tao Ruolin's baton, the four groups left the Guocheng sea area.
Most of the people left behind were still cutting down trees and repairing Guocheng, but the speed was obviously much faster because more than 500 Mohist disciples joined in.
Chu Qing still felt that it was slow, so he yelled at the old cousins in Hucheng to work harder.
The old cousins were very busy, and they became even busier after Chu Qing said he would deduct their wages. Even though they didn't know what salary meant at all, they generally understood the word "deduct" and felt terrible.
Chu Qing was in a hurry because he needed a house, a real house.
In the past, he felt that he had reached this status, and his happiness index had nothing to do with whether he had a house. It was just that his injured waist delayed things, and he ended up going around and around because he didn't have a house.
"Door, fix the door!"
Chu Qing stood on the tree trunk and shouted: "Nothing else matters, the sound insulation must be good, roll up your sleeves and work hard!"
At this moment, besides Chu Qing, there is another person who also cares deeply about his gate, but it is a national gate.
In Changjing, in the Jingyi Hall, Emperor Chang Chengyou felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
The heater in Sun An's hand, chief administrative assistant of Dachang, fell to the ground with a clatter.
Su Wei, who was kneeling on the ground, had a bitter look on his face.
"Uncle, he..."
Huang Laosi suddenly felt dizzy and almost lost his breath: "Leading an army of 100,000... out... out of seclusion?"
"Yes, urgent report from the border, the Ministry of War arrived half an hour ago."
Huang Laosi was breathing heavily, and for a moment, he couldn't say a word.
Sun An quickly waved his hand and asked the Su Wei who had sent the message to leave.
After Su Wei left, sure enough, Huang Laosi slapped the imperial case.
The solid bookcase was knocked to pieces by Huang Laosi.
"Chu Wensheng!"
Huang Laosi's eyes were about to burst into flames, his whole body was like a volcano, and he roared repeatedly: "How many troops are you going to kill!"
Sun An quickly knelt on the ground, not even daring to breathe.
The old eunuch understood Huang Laosi. If it were him, he would have to be anxious.
There are only a few soldiers and horses at the border gate, and together with the new soldiers recruited, they can support 150,000, or even more, a lot more.
As a result, as soon as Chu Wensheng arrived at the border, he took away 100,000 people and went straight to the depths of the grassland. Isn't this something sick?
And this is not a matter of how many people are taken away or how many people are left to defend the border. This is the end of the year and it is winter now!
If it's spring, summer, or even the beginning of autumn, it's fine. But if you go deep into the grasslands in winter, you can't say that you don't take advantage of it. Anyway, you take advantage of all the disadvantages.
Even a layman like Sun An knows that the two most difficult seasons for marching are winter and autumn rainy season.
Even in autumn and winter, as long as you are within the customs, there is no big problem. But this is out of the customs. Once winter comes, the grassland will be completely white, and the sky will be filled with snow and dogs will freeze to death.
Chang Dynasty and Liang Rong have been fighting for so many years. It is not that there is no precedent of sending troops in winter. There are only two times. From one data, we can see why troops cannot be sent in winter. Two hundred thousand people left the border, and on average they walked one mile.
, at least 30 to 50 infantrymen were disabled, and the disabilities were caused not by battle, but by the cold.
It doesn't matter whether you are riding a horse or an infantry, it is the same. Riding a horse does not have an advantage over an infantry. An infantry walks with two legs, which does not keep them warm enough, and their feet are so cold that they are so cold. Riding a horse suffers even more, as the cold wind blows.
The biggest difficulty is the inability to keep up with supplies. When the wind and snow on the grassland are at their strongest, it is comparable to a white sandstorm. It is not impossible to get lost while walking. The fewer people there are, the easier it is to get lost.
Therefore, Chu Wensheng took advantage of all the disadvantages he could. First, he left the country in winter. Second, he did not do any mobilization. He came on a trip that he could just leave. Third, he did not say hello to the court. This is symbolic.
I have communicated with the prefectures on the third border. I am going to fight against Liangrong. When the time comes, you will get some supplies and food to follow.
Especially this third point, regarding the supply of grain and grass, Chu Wensheng did not say where he was going, let alone when he would ask the auxiliary soldiers to transport the grain and grass there. It was just like a joke, with a hint of whether he would like to supply or not.
It can be said that these 100,000 people will have lost at least 30% before they reach the Golden Wolf King's tent. This is to say the least. If the war is unfavorable and the rear supplies cannot keep up, no, the rear supplies will definitely not be able to keep up. Then
, these 100,000 people may not even be able to come back, because it is winter!
The military report was very detailed. After Chu Wensheng arrived at the border, he was very anxious. He looked like he was anxious to perform meritorious service. After receiving the commander's seal and driving him away, Ma Rujing took less than five days to assemble six battalions and join forces.
The new soldiers and the Liangrong tribes who had taken refuge gathered a total of 100,000 people and left the customs directly.
They all say that it doesn’t hurt if you sell your son to Tian. Chu Wensheng is just selling his son to Tian. He doesn’t feel bad. As soon as these 100,000 people came out of the customs, their horses, weapons, food and grass were in a mess, and they were paid directly to Wangyuan City and the border gate.
It was empty, and Chu Qing's previous efforts were all in vain.
At this time, Huang Laosi, as if he had nowhere to vent his anger, quickly came to the steps of the palace and shouted towards the north: "Chu Wensheng, I will destroy your whole family!"
Sun An in the palace took a breath of cold air.
Is the emperor confused? Is this what he wants to do?
Unexpectedly, Huang Laosi cursed for a while, then turned back and came directly to the broken imperial case, with a look of distress on his face.
I just feel distressed, the anger that was like a volcanic eruption has disappeared without a trace.
While feeling distressed, Huang Laosi said: "Let the news out, I, Long Yan was furious, furious, furious, smashed the imperial case, yes, you must say, I smashed the imperial case with one finger,
He stamped his feet again, and the bricks and stones in the Yizheng Hall were broken into pieces. His steps were like a dragon, his voice was like a tiger's, and the wind from his palms was blowing, and the pillars of the palace were about to collapse."
Sun An, who was kneeling on the ground, was dumbfounded and completely confused about the situation.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you... aren't you angry?"
"Why be angry?"
"Master Chu, he..."
"You know nothing." Huang Laosi chuckled: "Not to mention my uncle, even you know that troops cannot be sent out in winter, and my uncle is not a person who cares about merit. How could he lead a hundred thousand soldiers out of the country because of his eagerness to perform meritorious service?
"
"So that's it." Sun An stood up quickly and suddenly realized: "That's why we spread doubts and deceive the world."
"It's a lie. If you are released from seclusion, you must be released from seclusion. Otherwise, the military newspaper would not write like this."
Sun An was confused again: "Evicted?"
"That's right, I'm out of seclusion. My uncle...is indeed a master of war!"
Huang Laosi showed an enigmatic smile: "It's a good move to send hundreds of thousands of soldiers out of seclusion and die. No, it's a good move... Anyway, you don't understand. Anyway, my uncle is very powerful. I admire him very much."
Sun An was really curious and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, why did Master Chu bring one hundred thousand soldiers out of the border?"
"How do I know?" Huang Laosi still had that enigmatic smile: "Anyway, my uncle is very powerful."
Sun An sighed silently.
Yes, Chu Wensheng is so powerful that even Your Majesty doesn’t know what he does. How can he not be so powerful?
"Let the news get out as soon as possible. Since it is a military report, my uncle definitely hopes that everyone will know about the trouble. I will just cooperate with him in his show."
"Yes, I'll do it now, old slave."
After saying that, Sun An ran out of Jingyi Hall.
As soon as the old eunuch left, Huang Laosi's inscrutable smile disappeared, replaced by a troubled expression and muttering to himself.
"Chu Wensheng, you damn didn't bring a hundred thousand soldiers to join the Liang bandits, did you?"
