Chapter 1104 Huge Luggage Convoy

Zhong Hui quickly left Luoyang City. Although Sima Shi ordered him to go to Jizhou to recruit 300,000 people, it was not like he was not taking any men. In the end, he equipped him with 10,000 men and escorted a large amount of weapons, equipment, and supplies, and walked all the way north.

When others go on a war, the flags under their command are like clouds, people and horses, vast and beautiful as picturesque. The clock will find that it is their turn to go on a war, but the style of painting is obviously wrong.

Apart from the baggage truck that could not be seen at a glance, we could only see some soldiers scattered. Each car was filled with a green curtain and covered with tightly, and we could not see clearly what was in the car.

Zhong Hui was very clear. Although he could not check one by one, the list provided by the Ministry of War clearly stated how much cargo was loaded on these vehicles.

The equipment and food required for 300,000 people will be a considerable number, almost emptying the arsenal and grain warehouses in Luoyang, but it is far from enough, especially the food and food, which depends more on local supply in Jizhou.

Zhong Hui still didn't understand who came up with such a bad idea in front of Sima Shi. When he was shitting, he remembered the Anthio Toilet. Youzhou was lost and Jizhou was in danger. Only then did he think of recruiting troops to fight against the enemy. He really thought that the recruited troops were all magical weapons. He came when summoned and could fight when he came.

Building an army is not simply a pile of people. If you want the army to form enough combat effectiveness, you must practice the newly recruited army, be familiar with the use of military ordnance, and master the way of placing troops, especially placing troops, which is the minimum requirement of the army. Otherwise, no matter how many people there are, they cannot be called an army, but just a group of mobs.

The reason why the peasant army that rebelled and rebelled was vulnerable is because they lacked the minimum military knowledge and thought they could fight with weapons. In fact, in front of a well-trained army, they were no match for them at all.

Zhong Hui knew clearly what kind of opponent the Bingzhou army was. If he was given a well-trained 100,000 regular army, he was somewhat sure to ensure that Jizhou would not lose it, but if he asked him to recruit 300,000 people by himself, Zhong Hui was not sure at all. Not to mention whether the people in Jizhou cooperated with the recruitment or not, would it really be possible to recruit 300,000 people? Even if they could be recruited, would these people be able to resist the powerful Bingzhou army?

If Zhong Hui really knew that this idea was actually made by Sima Lun, he would definitely vomit blood if Zhong Hui was so angry that he would vomit. Sima Shi listened to someone's bad news, but he would have to listen to a ten-year-old child. Isn't this treating military and national affairs as a joke?

However, Zhong Hui also knew that this was Sima Shi's helpless move. Now Sima Shi really didn't have many people to call. Not to mention 100,000 people, it was difficult to even draw 50,000 people. This time, the 10,000 people who were assigned to Zhong Hui's escort supplies was probably the limit that he could mobilize troops.

It is logical that Sima Shi was a dignified general of the military army. He controlled the government and the government orders of the world were all from his hands. How many people he wanted to mobilize was just a matter of his words. But as a superior, he naturally considered more than those of the lower ones. Yongliang had many soldiers, but that was to guard against the attack of Shu Kingdom. Similarly, the troops of Jingzhou and Huainan were even more unable to move. Wu was eyeing him there, waiting for the opportunity to send troops at all times. Once the troops of Jingzhou, Huainan were empty, the troops of Wu Kingdom would definitely take advantage of the opportunity to enter.

With each carrot and a pit, Sima Shi really had no extra troops to send to Jizhou, so he could only let Zhong Hui go to Jizhou to solve the problem by himself.

Zhong Hui was completely gone from being the governor of Hebei. He looked at the baggage chariot that could not be seen at all, and sighed softly. The scene of the battle was completely different from what he imagined!

After crossing the Yellow River, we continued to move northward. Such a large-scale logistics convoy was moving forward at a speed. It took only five or six days to go, but it had not arrived after ten days. Zhong Hui wanted to arrive in Jizhou as soon as possible, but unfortunately these convoys were really not powerful.

Of course, this is not a big deal for the logistics vehicle convoy. The logistics vehicle has always had such a speed, not to mention that the logistics vehicle is loaded more and has a slower speed this time, so there is no way to do so.

It was finally the end of March that Zhong Hui arrived in Yecheng. Fortunately, the news came back at this time, indicating that Cao Liang, who occupied Youzhou, had no intention of going south yet. This was also a bit of comfort he received after he was depressed after moving forward quickly for months.

In fact, what Zhong Hui was most worried about was the movements of the Bingzhou Army. Sima Shi asked him to come to Jizhou to recruit an army of 300,000 people. Can such a large scale be completed in such a short time?

If the Bingzhou army had acted quickly, he might have fallen before he arrived in Jizhou, and then he might have become the most tragic governor. Before he took office, the capital would be gone.

After arriving in Yecheng, Lu Zhao personally led officials at all levels from Jizhou to welcome him. Although Lu Zhao was not happy, he still had to do his articles on the surface. Zhong Hui came here with the rituals and had the right to take action first and then report. If he was not careful, he might cause death.

Of course, no matter how powerful Zhong Hui is, he cannot have the authority to kill Lu Zhao. Lu Zhao has always been in charge of Jizhou, but he has not been promoted to the position of governor, and he has only become the governor of Jizhou.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether he or she is a governor or not. The key is that there is no governor in Jizhou, and everything is up to him, the governor of Jizhou.

But the situation has changed suddenly. The position of Hebei Governor, which has been vacant for many years, will be taken over by the imperial court this time, and the General Right Chief Zhong Hui will take over.

Lu Zhao was used to unrestrained life, but this time, a court official suddenly landed on top of his head, which made Lu Zhao feel very uncomfortable.

Is it the reason why Guangchang lost this time that Sima Shi distrusts him? Lu Zhao felt it was very likely. After all, Guangchang was thrown into his hands. Guangchang's loss led to the opening of the door to Youzhou east. Bingzhou army took Youzhou in a very short time. If others don't take the blame, Lu Zhao should not be able to escape.

Although the court did not hold the responsibility this time, Lu Zhao knew that he had lost Sima Shi's trust and suddenly sent Zhong Hui to serve as the governor of Hebei this time. This was probably a crisis of trust.

It just made Lu Zhao wonder, if Sima Shi did not send others, why did he send Zhong Hui, who had always been an aide, to be the governor of Hebei? Could it be that Zhong Hui still has the ability to lead the army?
