1203 Army westward

In early spring, cars were rumbling and horses were whistling. When a traveler came out of Huayin and continued westward along the Wei River.

This team had more than 2,000 people, which was one of the baggage teams sent to the west of Xingtai. Among them, 500 soldiers were elite soldiers from the Hongwu Army among the four armies of Xingtai, and more than 1,000 soldiers were employed, and more than 200 large chariots were loaded with goods and equipment. The destination was Xiaqian, Weinan.

In the team, Wang Meng was riding on a simple ox cart. Although the ox cart was not small, it was half loaded with goods, leaving Wang Meng with only a few feet of space. He placed a box full of books next to him, and the space for movement became even more cramped, and his hands and feet had to be curled up. But this was a very rare preferential treatment. Most of the other people in the team had to trek hard on foot.

The sound of cars and horses and the sound of people during the march was extremely noisy, but Wang Meng was still unaffected. He had wooden boards more than a foot wide on his knees, and some pictures were spread out on the wooden boards, and carefully read them.

Although the Xinshi Pavilion has a rich collection, Wang Meng was just an ordinary student in the museum in previous years, and the books he could borrow were limited. Until he accepted the recruitment of the business and held a specific official position, his borrowing scope increased greatly, including some precious Guanzhong geographical map books.

"In recent years, turmoil has occurred frequently and disasters have arisen. Wang's orders have not entered the country for a long time, and there are many obstacles to the news. Even if the old books are scattered, they cannot be accepted. The current collections are all rewarded by the merchants and travelers, and the king's scouts went deep into the thief's land to visit. We must take care of them and do not damage them..."

When Wang Meng borrowed the pictures, the bachelor of the library repeatedly told him to keep these hard-earned pictures. It seemed just ordinary sketches on paper, but behind the scenes, there were tens of thousands of rewards for money and the elite scouts of the kings who sacrificed their lives to collect them.

It is because Wang Meng was about to go deep into Guanzhong to take up his post, so he could lend these precious materials from the museum, and he also had to promise an additional obligation, that is, to repair and complete these pictures and documents while in charge. Therefore, Wang Meng also attached great importance to these pictures and did not dare to damage them at all.

On the way, several knights rushed to Wang Meng's carriage and bowed and said, "Mr. Wang, General Xiao told me that if you go west, you will not be able to control the land. It is inevitable that the thief soldiers will invade you, and the battle will happen at any time. If you can't take any photos, I hope you can protect yourself with caution."

After hearing this, Wang Meng hurriedly bowed and then the knight handed him a bow knife. It was obvious that this statement was true, which made Wang Meng feel a little nervous.

Before, Yu Xinshi Pavilion was given a command to enlist the Taiwan registration and registration, and Wang Meng was really surprised. In terms of origin, he was just a cold man. When it comes to talent and knowledge, he was not a leader among his classmates. He really didn't expect that others were still waiting for the recruitment, but he had already taken the lead.

Wang Meng was granted a great sensation in the Xinshi Pavilion. Originally, he was not very famous in the Pavilion, so he became the most eye-catching person. Therefore, during the period after the Championship, Wang Meng caused countless envy wherever he went, and thus met many classmates in the Pavilion.

"If they all know where I am going, I don't know if there will be any envy..."

Thinking that before leaving, the classmates were planning to say goodbye to him, the eyes of participants Huan Chong and others looking at him were so hot that they were about to melt him, Wang Meng couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth.

More than a month ago, he left Luoyang and traveled west with more than a dozen students of the colleges who benefited from it. His classmates took up their posts along the way. After arriving at Tongguan, several people crossed Hebei to Hedong. Wang Meng and the remaining people continued to move westward to Huayin, but when he set off again, he was already alone.

It was not until a few days ago that Wang Meng knew where the Xiaqiu County Magistrate he took office. The Xiaqiu County, which is located among the Three Auxiliary, is even on the west side of the rear of Dali City, the capital of Fengyi County, which is still occupied by the Huns. It is the enemy's rear and the forefront of the current royal army to explore Guanzhong.

The reason why he, the county magistrate of Xiabi, wanted to be named under Hongnong County was because the area occupied by the royal army was only part of Fengyi County and had not yet been officially established, so he was affiliated with him.

When Wang Meng learned where he was going, he was also amused and laughed. He also understood why the general had to say more to him before leaving. At that time, he was complacent because the general looked at him differently. Now it seems that he is still too young, and the danger of his visit is too great.

However, Wang Meng did not feel discouraged and feared. As the general said, the extraordinary achievements are not ordinary realm. Stubborn stones are refined into fine steel, and uncensored jade is carved into beautiful tools. The road of rags is ragged and hard, and the thorns in Guanzhong are waiting for Feng Yi!

The next general is dangerous and he is willing to take this risk to him. Naturally, he has a strong aura and does not fear difficulties and plans for Guanzhong!

After leaving Huayin County, the speed of the team slowed down significantly, and there was no clear road in the suburbs. The soldiers worked hard to drive cattle and horses and haul trucks. The soldiers of the Yangwu Army were also away from the team, scouts running around, patrolling the front and back four fields, and circulating various military orders, which was orderly in the **, but also made the atmosphere of the entire team solemn.

While reading the pictures, Wang Meng compared the reference objects around him. The originally boring pictures gradually became vivid and enriched in his mind, and then he became a magnificent picture of vast wilderness and miscellaneous mountains and rivers.

"The words on paper are shallow, and the mountains and rivers are hard to expand. This is true. If you don't read them in real time and just study hard at a desk, you will have very limited income."

After comparing this, Wang Meng gradually felt his eyes were sore and his mind was dizzy. He no longer forced to continue. He carefully put away the pictures and asked for a war horse to ride while a soldier passed by.

During the march, the horsepower was strictly regulated, and the soldiers could not make a decision without permission and turned around to ask for instructions. After half a quarter of an hour, two more knights came over and brought an idle war horse.

Wang Meng was born in a low-level family and only had the opportunity to get in touch with the riding skills organized by students in the museum to train them. However, how could those slow horses used for training be comparable to the excellent war horses rated by Hongwu Jingjun? His riding skills were just careless, and he relied on the help of two soldiers to get on the horse and walk slowly.

The trembling and staggering horse-driving posture also caused some soldiers around to laugh. Wang Meng was not ashamed and annoyed about this, but just listened carefully to the mastery.

He had been able to attend the Xinshi Pavilion and was appointed to the Xingtai, and he had more or less a sense of arrogance that young people should have. However, after leaving the Xinshi Pavilion, he realized that he had a lot to learn. It was a bit of a dream to create something special based on the knowledge obtained from some books.

Not to mention anything else, he knew nothing about the various skills of dispatching and orders he had seen along the way. Even if there were professors in military books, it was far less concise and detailed than the ones that happened in front of him. If he was asked to lead such a team of people and horses to move westward, he would be afraid that he would scatter in a hurry if he couldn't go far.

Wang Meng was still feeling here, and more than a dozen people on the other side had already rushed over. One of the generals stood up to the head of the door and looked at Wang Meng and asked, "The march is firm and I can't take care of it. Can Wang Lang still bear it?"

Wang Meng turned his head and found that the questioner was Xiao Qian, the leader of this team. He did not dare to neglect. He was about to hold his fists and return the greeting, but the war horse under his crotch was a small rusher. He hurriedly held the saddle, and a hint of embarrassment smiled out of his face: "Thank you, thank you, for asking for the question, you have been ordered to use it externally, and do your best to do it. How dare you..."

Seeing that Wang Meng was still trying to control the horse, Xiao Yuandong nodded and ran far away before the other person could finish his speech. He obviously didn't really care about the young man.

It's no wonder that he was arrogant. He was in a bad mood after leaving the Fenwu Army, which he created, and the former general told him to take good care of this junior high school student named Wang Meng and not let him lose easily, which made Xiao Yuandong feel a little resentful.

What they are most annoying about is this kind of military order. After the war occurs, they can kill themselves and their lives are hard to take care of, so they have no intention of deliberately protecting someone. Moreover, in his opinion, the Yangwu Army will have to go deep into the enemy's back, and the combat mission will inevitably be heavy and arduous. It is meaningless to bring such a stupid new student who doesn't understand anything.

But the general told him personally, and Xiao Yuandong could only admit his bad luck, but he would not give Wang Meng any friendly attitude.

Last winter, although the king's army took turns to sweep away the three auxiliary forces, it was difficult to fully deploy defense. The powerful Guanzhong was mixed with the tyrants and bandits grew like weeds. Xiabi was still hundreds of miles away from Hongnong County, and this journey was also full of dangers. Not to mention locust-like bandits, they may even be attacked by established thieves.

Therefore, along the way, Xiao Yuandong was extremely cautious and did not dare to slackewers from afar. He also encountered some small groups of bandits during the journey, but after recognizing the royal army, the bandits fled far away and did not dare to disturb them easily.

It was more than an hour before dark, and the next king's army was no longer in the road ahead, and the team could only stay in the field. Although Wang Meng had learned military tactics a lot, this was the first time he had this experience. Although he could feel that the general Xiao Yuandong was not very welcome to him, he still came up to observe and learn these practical experiences nearby.

Although Xiao Yuandong was a little impatient, he still asked someone to lead Wang Meng to his side, and ordered casually, and then gave a little experience. Wang Meng also listened with a focused expression, and had an in-depth understanding of the time he took on the journey, the choices of the camp, etc.

Soon after the afternoon, the team divided into a small number of people and walked forward with light clothes and speeding forward under the leadership of dozens of Hongwu soldiers. Half an hour before darkness, the entire team also accelerated, and some backward soldiers were beaten and rushed.

Seeing this scene, Wang Meng couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, but when the sunset sets, a camp that was enough for a whole team to station appeared in front of his vision, and then he understood. Then he looked at Xiao Yuandong with a little respect, and he admired his ability to take into account both his grasp and predict.

"This is all common sense in the military, and I know it for a long time, and there is no need to explain it in detail."

Xiao Yuandong waved his hand, looking calm, and after entering the camp, he said to Wang Meng again: "After the meal, you can quickly enter the account to rest, and maintain your strength, and there may be trouble at night."

Wang Meng was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't understand why Xiao Yuandong made this prediction. Although he followed, he was confused but couldn't sleep. He sat and lying down until at night. Suddenly, noisy sounds came from outside the camp. He was half nervous and half expectant. He touched the sword handed to him by the day soldiers and rushed out of the camp.
