Chapter 530 Military Town (Part 1)
The carriage stopped after entering Sima Gate.
After a while, Cai Cheng came over, waved his hand, gave Yang Qin and Liu Ling a few instructions, and then left.
The carriage continued to move forward and soon passed the Xianyang Gate.
Ms. Liu put her hand towards the car curtain.
Although Ms. Cheng was holding the child, she hurriedly stopped her and begged: "Madam, there are many people outside, don't let them see."
Ms. Liu pursed her lips and opened the door. Car curtain.
Sure enough, there were many sergeants standing guard outside.
Some ruins have been cleared here, and there are people who look like prisoners pulling various building materials in and out - judging by the appearance of the materials, most of them were emptied from the ruins. It is the so-called demolition of things. The wall makes up the west wall and waste is used.
There were originally many offices in Xianyang Gate. On the west side from south to north were the Yezhe Terrace, Fujie Terrace and Yushitai Terrace, while on the east side were the Prime Ministers and Cao Cao.
The west side is still in ruins, but the prime ministers and ministers on the east side cleaned and rebuilt part of it as early as the Shi Le era, because they also needed office space. Now these prisoners are cleaning up another part of the ruins, and seem to be completely restoring the Prime Minister's offices.
Liu was a little puzzled at first, and then realized something.
There was a burst of passwords from the front.
Liu raised her eyes and saw a sergeant on duty in front of Xuanming Gate.
These people were wearing iron armor, carrying long spears, with bows, quivers and ring-head knives hanging on their waists. Some of them also carried small bucklers on their backs.
Xuanming Gate has long been destroyed by the war, and now only an outline remains. The sergeants on duty lined up on both sides, their spears crossed forward, preventing the carriage from moving forward.
Liu Ling smiled and stepped forward to negotiate, and the carriage was able to continue moving forward.
Ms. Cheng lowered her head, as if she didn't want outsiders to see her face.
Liu, on the other hand, held his head high and seemed unwilling to lower his head even though he was behind bars. However, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at the sergeants on duty. They were very disciplined, meticulous, and well-equipped, but they also had a faint air of rebelliousness.
She suddenly liked these soldiers very much for a reason that others might not guess: she actually saw a familiar flavor in these soldiers.
I still remember that when I was a child, I went hunting in the mountains with my elders and saw many tribal warriors like this.
Rebellious, wild and rough, like an untamable beast that can bite and hurt people at any time.
My father was still alive at that time, and he quietly told her that such soldiers were brave, fierce, and difficult to control, just like wild beasts captured from the mountains and forests, and they would grin when they saw people.
She asked innocently: "Such a beast cannot be used by humans except for skinning and eating meat. It is worse than a domestic dog."
The father laughed, and then said with emotion: " This is indeed the case, but if someone can put a collar on these beasts, so that they will be afraid of the sound of the whip, obey subconsciously, and dare not show their teeth to people, then it will be much more useful than dogs. "
At present. These soldiers are somewhat like tribal warriors. They look at people differently, but they are more docile and obedient than those warriors, and will not show their fangs to others easily.
What kind of people lead what kind of soldiers? This sentence is not just talk.
Each general has his own style of running the army.
Some people like to use whips and military sticks to beat soldiers until they cower, have no thoughts of their own, and subconsciously obey orders.
The troops brought out in this way are actually good troops. At least they have strict orders and strict military disciplines.
That's what Dahu did. The effect is another matter, but we have been working in this direction.
Shao Xun seems to like to "nurture" on this basis to develop the ferocity of a soldier. I don't know how he controls it.
Disciplined, fierce and daring to fight.
Although such an army is a very useful sharp knife in his hands and can be used in all directions, it is not suitable to be left to his son to lead, because he may not be able to control it.
Unconsciously, Mrs. Liu looked a lot with her professional eyes and thought a lot.
In fact, she admires such an army, but she will not admit it.
When the carriage passed Xuanming Gate, Liu subconsciously sat up straight as she watched the rows of crossed spears being released one after another.
If these armies were used for her...
She quickly squashed the idea. If Da Hu is given time, he can also develop such an army.
After passing Xuanming Gate, there are yamen such as Shengxian Office and Internal Medicine Office in front of you, but they are all dilapidated and covered with weeds.
The sergeants cleared an area and then used discarded materials to build a temporary military camp for themselves to live in.
There is a training place next to the military camp.
The sergeants held the spears with the heads removed, and they were sparring with each other.
Sometimes they are strict and move very slowly, but when they actually attack, they are as fast as lightning and end the assassination in an instant - either they "die" or the enemy "dies".
There was a large group of people sitting on the ground next to me, laughing, yelling, or pointing.
Those who won more were rewarded with cloth and silk. Although it was only a few feet long, it made them smile and hold it high above their heads, feeling proud.
As expected, it caused others to boo or yell, and soon someone stepped forward to challenge...
Ms. Cheng was also attracted and looked over subconsciously. When he saw someone looking back, he looked back like a frightened little animal and lowered his head, nervous.
Liu had some understanding: Da Hu had also lamented before that when money and food were sufficient, he would expand the number of "recruiting soldiers" so that they could serve as soldiers and eat food, so that they would no longer have to be burdened by their livelihood and could train without distraction.
Is this Shao Xun’s recruitment? It was indeed very leisurely, enough time to practice against each other to vent excess energy. Ordinary soldiers spend most of their time farming. Even if they have free time, they will grow hungry after a short period of practice. How can they have so much time to hone their skills? There are also relatively few people who know military formations. When they go to the battlefield, they can only form the simplest formations. When they need to change formations, they are in a hurry and are full of mistakes.
To put it bluntly, there is little practice.
The carriage was still moving forward, and soon passed Shengxian Gate, and finally stopped.
This is also a piece of ruins. Although times have changed, traces of being burned by fire can still be seen.
There is no doubt that this was burned by people sent by Jisang.
This person has low self-esteem, is sensitive, and is also very arrogant.
He hated a place like Ye Palace that symbolized power so much that he first looted all the treasures inside and then set them on fire.
But he himself sat greedily on the treasure and refused to take off his expensive fur even in the summer.
Da Hu had followed such a person before, no wonder he couldn't beat Shao Xun...
Suddenly, Mrs. Liu shook her head with some remorse.
Da Hu started from scratch, which is much more heroic than Shao Xun.
"Is anyone here?" Liu Ling walked to a somewhat dilapidated building and asked.
"Here he is, inside." The guard military academy replied.
"Get off the car and follow me in." Liu Ling waved and said.
Mr. Liu's heart trembled. No matter how strong she is, she is still a woman. It is impossible to say that she is not afraid.
But she gritted her teeth, got out of the carriage with her head held high, and glanced at Liu Ling.
Liu Ling turned a blind eye.
Well, when he was working under Wang Mi, he had also heard of Mrs. Shangdang, but he had never seen her. At that time, he also joked to Wang Sang, saying that Shi Le's strength would be greatly increased if he married the Liu family, and sooner or later he would become angry with your brother.
Now it seems that he was really mistaken. Maybe Wang Mi will live longer than Shi Le.
After Mr. Liu got off the car, Ms. Cheng wanted to get off the car too, but was stopped by Liu Ling.
Mrs. Cheng trembled with fright and looked at Ms. Liu with tears in her eyes.
Liu shook his head and entered Nayanta to the west.
There is Nayan Gate on the west side of Shengxian Gate, and Tingzheng Gate and Shangshu Terrace on the east side - they are all in ruins now.
Nayanta has undergone simple repairs and is barely usable.
The surrounding weeds have also been cleared away, and the remaining green trees surround the pavilion, adding a bit of interest.
As soon as Mr. Liu entered the door, he saw several old acquaintances.
Liu Hedu, the governor of the Loyalty Army, and Xu Guang, the chief officer - this army is mainly composed of soldiers surrendered by Santai, and has been supplemented by some young men from Yecheng. There are currently 4,000 people, basically all infantry.
The newly established Xiaojie Army Governor Tao Bao, Chang Shi Chengya, and Sima Zhixiong - this army is mainly composed of former Wei Jun soldiers, supplemented by some of the strong men in Yecheng, and currently has five thousand infantry.
There was also a stranger sitting next to Liu Hedu and Xu Guang, listening to their conversation. He seemed to be an official from Henan sent by Shao Xun to serve as Sima of the Loyalty Army.
Liu Haozhu is also there.
Seeing this uncle, Mr. Liu looked at him angrily.
On the Bingjing platform, he persuaded the sergeants to abandon their weapons and surrender with a few words, causing the solid three platforms to break in half a month, making Liu's teeth itchy with hatred.
"Niece, sit down quickly. Mr. Chen will be here in a moment." Liu Hezhu greeted with a smile.
Ms. Liu took a look and found that there were many strange rope chairs and huts in the room, with only one couch placed at the top.
She hesitated a little, but there was no one on this couch, so she finally sat on it.
"The Lord of Cai Mansion controls Yecheng, and I will be his general from now on." Several people present whispered.
"The Lord of Cai Mansion is a former military governor of Mr. Chen, and he is deeply trusted. If we follow him, we will surely have a chance to make a fortune."
"There is no turning back. Da Hu Ruo Po Ye The first thing he will do is to kill me and our whole family. There is no way he will be forgiven."
"Can Dahu still come to Yecheng?"
"I will fight with him when he comes. ”
Mrs. Liu looked at several people with disdain.
When they were generals under Da Hu, they were so trembling that they did not dare to show their courage. Now he has surrendered to the new master, and he can't wait to show his loyalty. They are all villains!
Liu Hezhu was sitting under Mrs. Liu, and saw the expression on her face. After thinking about it, he felt that it was time to remind her.
I saw him leaning his head over and whispering: "Ye Na, you are not a stupid woman like that. I will tell you some things directly."
"The situation in Hebei is complicated and confusing. . Whether Mr. Chen can stand in Hebei or whether Da Hu will come back is hard to say. Maybe you still have some thoughts in your heart, but I want to ask you, how will you deal with it if Da Hu comes back? "
Ms. Liu froze, stunned and speechless.
This is the question she has been avoiding. At this time, Liu Haozhu pointed it out, and his heart was churning endlessly, and he was extremely uncomfortable.
At the same time, I also hate some people even more, especially shameless people like Liu Haozhu, Taobao, and Zhixiong.
Liu Hezhu chuckled lightly and said, "Ye Na, it's understandable that you hate me, but this is wrong."
Ms. Liu glanced at him coldly and whispered: "Shameless."
"You will understand later." Liu Hezhu smiled and said, "We are close relatives, and we are all your helpers."
Ms. Liu still looked at him coldly.
Liu Hezhu asked: "How are Chen Gong's elite soldiers with silver spears doing along the way?"
Liu did not answer.
“You just don’t know.” Liu Hezhu said to himself: “When we move forward in a car formation, we really can’t move forward. Really, we have tried every method, even sending cavalry in armor. It's useless to jump and charge. With such soldiers, the world can be conquered. If Da Hu leads his army, he will still be defeated by these people."
There were footsteps outside the door, and they were talking. Everyone sat up straight.
Liu Haozhu lowered his voice again, came closer to Mrs. Liu, and said mysteriously: "Mr. Chen only has two sons, both of whom are not very old."
After saying that, he sat back and looked steadily. , sitting upright.
Shao Xun's figure appeared at the door, followed by Cai Cheng, Yu Chen, Zhang Bin and several new faces.
The soldiers rushed in and stood around in the pavilion.
Shao Xun stroked the handle of the knife and glanced around.
"See Mr. Chen." Everyone stood up together.
One or two seemed to be too nervous and stood up too quickly, knocking over the rope bed under their buttocks.
Ms. Liu did not stand up, but raised her head slightly to have a panoramic view of the coming people.
This man is tall and strong, with traces of sand polishing on his face.
The left hand droops naturally and falls beside the bow tip, and the right hand caresses the handle of the knife casually.
With a gentle smile on his face and a sharp look in his eyes, everyone he glanced at subconsciously bowed their heads.
"Sit down, everyone." He said this to the few people who came with him.
Yu Chen took the opportunity to introduce them. It turned out that the new arrivals were Sima Huang Biao, the commander of the left-guard forward battalion of the Luoyang Forbidden Army, Gao Yi, the warden of the capture army, Chen Wu, the beggar commander, and Tian Gui, the government official. and the two generals of the Yanzhou shogunate, He Lun and Liu Qia.
The soldiers moved a few beds and everyone sat down one after another.
Yu Chen sat opposite Liu Hezhu. Zhang Bin was silent for a while and sat on the rope chair beside Yu Chen.
Shao Xun didn't even look at Liu, and sat directly next to her.
Long legs, nice.
The buttocks are also quite elastic. Women who exercise all year round are different. The flesh on their bodies is firm.
"I summon you all here today for the defense of Hebei." Shao Xun seemed not to be distracted and said directly: "I intend to set up military towns in the three counties of Ji, Wei and Dunqiu. There are towns in the towns. The city, the townspeople, the town army, and the town generals are to guard against thieves and bandits."
When he said this, he was looking at Chen Wu, the beggar commander, and Liu Hezhu, the chief of Dalu Ze.
Obviously, the military town was mainly set up for vassal forces like them.
Zhang Bin frowned. Obviously, he didn't know the news in advance.
But it's normal. He has no official position, and Mr. Chen didn't say let him go. He just followed him without any explanation. It's normal for him to avoid him for some things.
Just——a military town?
Is it to recruit those disobedient beggar soldiers or even barbarian tribes?
Chen Gong will leave Hebei sooner or later. As soon as he left, the beggar army and the Hu tribe might have defected to the Huns again, so give them a formal status?
Sure enough, Shao Xun then said: "Recently, several people from the Guangping chieftain came to vote, each with hundreds or more than a thousand troops, so we came up with this proposal."
After saying that, he clapped his hands and asked Yu Chen to explain to everyone what a military town is.
