As if seeing Li Kuo's doubts, Zheng Jun raised his head and said, "General, although the last general is not talented, he served in the Shuofang army before entering the government army. The Shuofang Jiedushi An Sishun and An Lushan are brothers."
Li Kuo nodded and signaled Zheng Jun to continue.
"An Sishun has a good relationship with An Lushan, and the last general saved An Sishun's life by chance. An Sishun's gratitude was in his heart and once introduced me to An Lushan, hoping that I could get a job in Fan Yang's army."
Zheng Jun paused and continued: "But General Mo is a honest person. When he saw An Lushan, he felt that he was a slick person and was not suitable for getting along with him, so he refused An Sishun's kindness. After that, I went to the Yangzhou Prefecture Army to retire, but I didn't expect to meet a general and be able to fight again in my lifetime!"
Zheng Jun clenched his fists and said word by word: "Maybe it is destined to be destined. I have been able to see the secrets in An Lushan's army, and I met you, General. With my understanding of An Lushan's military system, their mercenaries will not be much stronger than our brothers in robe!"
What he said was inevitably suspected of being a piece of gold for the Tang army, but Li Kuo did not want to say it out loud. The most important thing in marching and fighting was to breathe in one breath. If this breath was suppressed by the enemy, he would probably defeat his army by a rush.
"You keep talking." Li Kuo looked slightly and there was a smile on his lips.
"The last general thinks that General Li can continue to follow the original route. If he encounters a rebel, he doesn't have to hide and fight them fiercely!"
Zheng Jun raised his fist and explained slowly: "In this way, we don't have to take a detour, we can also sharpen the blood of the Jianghuai Prefecture Army. After all, His Majesty the Emperor summoned you to Guanzhong to protect the court. If we were all new recruits who had never seen blood, we would probably not be able to help His Majesty, he was not very busy!"
What he said was very reasonable. Li Kuo led troops all the time and naturally knew what the biggest difference between recruits and veterans was. In fact, the content of training and veterans and the skills and tactics they mastered were almost the same. The only difference was that the ability of veterans to adapt to changes on the battlefield was far higher than that of recruits. No matter how gorgeous the guns were in the school field, no matter how accurate you were when shooting scarecrows, it could not replace the exciting emotions bursting from the inside of the moment when the enemy soldiers cut off their heads on the battlefield. The big knife waved and drew a beautiful arc, and the head flew up, and the red blood sprayed out and splashed on your cheeks. It was not until then that you truly became a soldier and a veteran who deserved life and death!
This transformation is exchanged with blood, it is exchanged with life, it cannot be exchanged no matter how hard you train on the field.
The only place to inspect soldiers is the battlefield.
"In your opinion, how much is our chance of winning?" Li Kuo was obviously aroused by Zheng Jun, and took off the wine gourd that was blocked by his waist and threw it to Zheng Jun.
"I will win!" Zheng Jun took it and poured it in confusion, then patted his chest generously to protect him.
At this time, even Li Kuo was a little surprised. Even if they had the advantage of numbers and the other party was a mercenary, no one dared to say the chances of victory were 100%.
"What the last general said about winning is that he must win! If he cannot win this battle, the rebels' arrogance will become even more arrogant, thinking that there is no soldiers available in our Tang Dynasty. At that time, the An thief who rushed south to Huaibei will all become the ranch of the barbarians. Therefore, we have no way out and we must win!"
"What a victory!" Li Kuo felt his blood gushing and praised: "I have a loyal and brave general like you under my command. It is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty and the three armies!"
"Hehe, General, I can't understand that so many people said, but General has always had a rule, that is, a pot of wine, a friend. The general gave me a pot of wine today, and then General will make you a friend!"
Zheng Jun poured all the remaining half pot of strong wine, and he was smiling.
The Linghe River outside the outskirts of Tangzhou City has been frozen, crystal clear, like frozen jade.
The wheat fields on both sides of the Ling River are covered with snow. The wheat was harvested as early as September. Now only a few straw stubbles stretch out from the snow, swaying back and forth with the north wind, as if they may break in the middle at any time.
There is a village with about 100 households next to the Linghe River. All the people in the village were gathered next to the millstone at the east end of the village, which has always been a place for gatherings in the village.
"General Hu Bier, everyone has been brought here, what should I do?" A pseudo-soldier of Xi bowed to a bearded Hu general and said respectfully.
The bearded Hu general glanced at the Han people present and snorted coldly with disdain.
"I think you were bullied by the Tang Dynasty, so I lowered the military rations I needed to pay from one household to one and a half stone. But you are not aware of it and have the intention to save grain for the Tang Dynasty. I can't blame me for this."
This Hu Jiang, named Hu Bier, said this in Tang Yan, which is surprising.
"The men were killed, and the women were rewarded for their brothers. After they were enjoyed, they were made into jerky meat as military rations!" His voice was very sinister, and his eyes were coldly swept across the people in front of the millstone.
Among these people are old women who are in their 80s and have silver hair as snow; babies who are just full months old and cry; pregnant women who are pregnant for six months and have big belly; and countless horned teenagers full of hatred
Just because of my own words, they were going to be executed. Haha, this feeling is so good. Haha!
"What are you waiting for? Kill them all!" The general of the Xi people seemed to be based on Hubier's will. He immediately agreed when he heard his order. Immediately, several Hu soldiers with scimitars rushed over and picked up a Tang man and didn't cut him down.
They were mercenaries recruited by An Lushan, and they belonged to several tribes such as Tongluo, Xi, Khitan, and Shiwei. They did not belong to each other and only took the special orders of An Lushan's delegation.
And this Hu man named Hubier is a specialist.
The destiny of special promotion is An Lushan's destiny, and the destiny of special promotion must follow it.
Countless shaking scimitars swung, and heads flew up one by one. Warm blood gushed out of the white snow, splashing out a picture of charred peony
ps: Alas, although it is heartbreaking to write, the real history cannot be erased. Let’s rise, Tangren!
