Chapter 44: Zhu Karasuma selects troops before the war
Liu Yan was shocked after hearing what Liu Zhang said: "My son, do you want to start a war with the Karasuma people?"
"Father, it's not that I want to go to war with the Karasuma people, but I need the merits of conquering the Karasuma people." Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If I hadn't met the teacher in Youzhou, I would have asked Huang Zhong and Yan Yan to kill him two years ago.
Those Wu Wan bastards! Now I have allowed Wu Wan to be arrogant for two more years, and now it’s time to collect interest. Huo Qubing is not my idol, but a goal for me to surpass!"
"This..." Liu Yan was very surprised when he looked at Liu Zhang. He didn't know where Liu Zhang had such confidence. You know, when facing foreigners, even the veterans of the dynasty were very afraid, otherwise the strength of the Han Dynasty would have already defeated Karasuma
Destroyed. After all, Karasuma is not the Xiongnu of the past, and they do not have the power of the Xiongnu.
"Father, why do you look at me like this?" Liu Zhang saw the strange look in Liu Yan's eyes and asked, "Is there something dirty on my face?"
"No! I'm just wondering why you are so confident in defeating Karasuma!" Liu Yan asked doubtfully: "In the past four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, except for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, no one dared to take the initiative to attack foreigners! Even those who
Famous generals also focus on defense!"
"Father, it's not that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is capable, but that the powerful families are useless!" Liu Zhang snorted coldly: "Look at the generals used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Wei Qing is a horse slave, and Huo Qubing is the son of a servant! Everyone knows that there is no hero.
I asked the source, but who can really do it? The border guards are all children of aristocratic families. They do not seek merit but seek no faults. It is better to expect these people to fight tooth and nail to defeat foreigners than to expect thunder from the sky to kill those people.
Where are the foreigners? When I attack Karasuma this time, I will eliminate all the children of aristocratic families in the army. Since they are only here for gold plating, let them defend the city!"
"This..." Liu Yan was shocked and said, "My son will kick out those children from aristocratic families. If they create trouble for you, what will you do?"
"Don't worry, father, if I can't even deal with this thorn, how can I lead any troops or fight?" Liu Zhang sneered: "I hope they cooperate with me, otherwise I will never be polite. I can't deal with them in the city.
It's very easy to find any reason to kill someone after leaving the city!"
"Okay!" Liu Yan was very satisfied when he saw Liu Zhang's sinister expression. If Liu Zhang was timid, he would be very disappointed. Liu Yan smiled and said, "Go ahead and do whatever you want. My father will support you!"
"Thank you, father!" After Liu Zhang saluted, he took Zhao Yun and others out of the prefect's mansion and walked straight to the Jixian school grounds.
On the Jixian school grounds, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan were training troops. Suddenly, a small school came to report that Liu Zhang had arrived, and they immediately went out to greet him. Liu Zhang came to the Chinese army tent in the camp, sat down on the commander's seat and said, "I won't tell you either.
Nonsense! From today on, I will take over all the troops in Jixian County. Huang Zhong, go get the troop roster and I will order the troops tomorrow morning. Yan Yan, in the past five years, you have learned a lot from my training methods.
, you recruit another 10,000 troops and train them in case of emergency! If you have any questions, just speak up!"
"This..." Yan Yan and Huang Zhong looked at each other. They didn't know what Liu Zhang was doing. Yan Yan stood up and said, "Sir, it's easy to recruit and train troops, but I'm alone. Why..."
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will allocate some of the 20,000 people to you tomorrow. You have to train me an elite army!"
"Yes!" Yan Yan was very excited. He could see that Liu Zhang wanted to distribute the 20,000 troops to his younger brothers. In this way, Huang Zhong was almost left alone. But Yan Yan didn't know that it wasn't
Huang Zhong was ignored, but Liu Zhang made a big move!
The next day, Liu Zhang arrived at the school field early in the morning. Seeing that there were 20,000 people standing in the field, he jumped up to the high platform and shouted: "Soldiers, do you still recognize me?"
"Young Master! Young Master!" The soldiers in the audience shouted like a tsunami. Maybe some of the new soldiers didn't know Liu Zhang, but the veterans still remembered Liu Zhang. It was this young master's training methods that made Liu Zhang so popular.
They survived all the wars against Karasuma. Although they did not understand the principles of running, standing, walking to the left, and walking to the right, it did not hinder their respect for Liu Zhang.
Listening to the shouts from the audience, Liu Zhang was very satisfied. He said slowly: "Since everyone still remembers me, I won't talk nonsense! After a while, I will take you to fight black pills. Maybe some of you can't
Come back, maybe we will fail, but I will accompany you, even if I die, I will die with you. Now, those who are willing to die with me, go to the left, and those who are not willing to go with me
People, go to the right! I’ll give you three drums to think about, come on! Beat the drums!”
Boom...boom...boom...
The huge drum beat sounded in the school field, and the soldiers on the school field were already stunned. It was not until the second drum was about to end that the 20,000 soldiers slowly separated. The Chinese have never lacked warriors, let alone those who are not afraid.
Those who died. Except for the children of aristocratic families who came to gild, most of the common people who were willing to serve as soldiers did so to earn a living and protect their families. However, in Youzhou, the common people had feuds with foreign tribes such as Karasuma and the Xiongnu.
Hearing that Liu Zhang was going to attack Karasuma, the disciples of the aristocratic families slowly moved to the right, while the left side was filled with soldiers.
After the three drums were completed, the left side of the school field was crowded with soldiers, while the right side only had a few hundred people, which seemed lonely. But this was the effect Liu Zhang wanted. Most of the children of the aristocratic families were rebellious and even disobeyed orders. During the initial training,
Some of the children of the aristocratic families had even made a splash. If Liu Zhang hadn't been very strong, the 20,000 people might have been crippled by Karasuma! But now, Liu Zhang wants to take these people to risk their lives, and there must be no negligence, because Liu Zhang cannot afford to lose.
!
Looking at the soldiers separated on both sides of the school field, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Yan Yan, the people on the right will be your base for military training. Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Huang Xu, you each choose 20 troops, and four thousand people are formed.
The remaining people will be left to Shi A as my bodyguard! Han Sheng, as their general manager, you will be responsible for teaching them military training!"
"Yes!" Huang Zhong and others knelt down to receive the military order. Yan Yan almost cried!
Liu Zhang actually wants to use troops against Wu Wan! Maybe others don't know how powerful Liu Zhang is, but Yan Yan has stayed with Liu Zhang for three years and is very familiar with his endless tricks. If Liu Zhang does something if he is not sure, he will be beaten to death.
Yan Yan didn't believe it. But now Liu Zhang actually kicked him out of the candidates for the expedition. What does this mean? You know, fighting represents military merit. If the war against Karasuma is won, the benefits will be immeasurable.
.
Yan Yan gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Liu Zhang and said: "I am willing to follow the young master to fight against Karasuma, and I hope the young master will not give up!"
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Yan Yan! It's not that I won't take you, but you and Han Sheng are the only ones here who can train troops, and besides Han Sheng, only your prestige can convince the public. Defense is also a very important thing. This is Jixian County
In the city, there are not only people, but also my parents. Do you think I can rest assured if someone else is guarding the city?"
"I..." Yan Yan knew that Liu Zhang was still struggling with his lack of allegiance, but no one could have imagined that a five-year-old child could reach such heights in only eight years! Challenging foreigners is a great man.
In his career, even Huo Qubing, the most famous general under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, joined the army at the age of sixteen and became famous at the age of nineteen. But Liu Zhang is only thirteen years old this year, and the oldest among Liu Zhang’s brothers is only nineteen years old!
Although Yan Yan didn't believe it, he knew that if Liu Zhang succeeded in conquering Wuwan, each of his brothers would be able to surpass Huo Qubing!
Yan Yan knelt on the ground, feeling very regretful in his heart. He regretted that he had not surrendered to Liu Zhang as a slave like Huang Zhong, otherwise he would have been one of the people on the expedition today. Even if he failed, he still had some merits. If he won, he would
It's a great achievement. This is a gambling game with a sure profit but no loss, but now he is not even qualified to join!
Looking at Yan Yan's changing face, Liu Zhang understood that the beating was in place and should be given some sweetness. So Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Yan Yan! You don't have to be so discouraged. The Wuwan is gone, and the Xiongnu is gone.
, and the Nanman. And I can't wipe out Karasuma in one battle. There will be more opportunities in the future. How about waiting for me to come back and decide on the future? Remember what I said when I taught you the training method?
A little? Tell me, what is the bounden duty of a soldier?"
"Obey the order!" Liu Zhang shouted, and Yan Yan yelled out as if conditioned reflex. Yan Yan looked at the not-so-tall Liu Zhang in front of him, and suddenly felt that he could only develop better by being loyal to him. Yan Yan shouted
: "I will obey my lord's orders!"
Seeing Yan Yan's sincere attachment, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Now that you understand, please guard Jixian for me. If something goes wrong in Jixian..."
"The general is here to see you!" From this moment on, Yan Yan finally no longer despised Liu Zhang, but regarded him as his master!
"Okay!" Liu Zhang ordered: "Huang Zhong! Lead the troops for a month of training, and be sure to integrate Zhang Fei and others into the troops. After a month, we are ready to send troops to Karasuma!"
A month passed quickly. In fact, there was no need for Liu Zhang to send troops, and the Wuwan people were about to attack. Generally, after late autumn, before the middle of winter, the Wuwan people would come to the Han Dynasty to hunt grass and valleys, but the number of people who came was just
It's just that the tribe is unknown. But this time, the Karasuma people were unlucky because a sinister guy was targeting their heads.
There was no grand swearing-in ceremony, or even pre-war mobilization. On a dark night before dawn, Liu Zhang set out with 20,000 troops. No one knew where he took his troops, and no one knew where he wanted to attack. But no matter what
Whether it was Yan Yan or the children of the aristocratic families who were removed from the team by Liu Zhang, they all believed that Liu Zhang would definitely create miracles again. However, they had no chance to participate, or even dared to participate. War, even if it is a must-win battle, will kill people.
, no one can guarantee that they can survive in the chaos, they don't dare to gamble, and they don't want to gamble.
