Chapter 135 The Profound Truth of War(1/2)
The next day, at the gate of Chuzhou Prefecture City.
Huo Bao, Shui Jin and General Yin were launched at the same time.
There are two thousand people, one thousand child soldiers here, and one thousand state soldiers assigned by the horse camp leader.
Three thousand people entered the water.
General Silver has two thousand men.
The 100 trucks of fried rice brought back from Binjiang the day before yesterday were distributed and made 7,000 marching rations for 7,000 people.
The elders in the city came to see him off, and the scene was even more lively than when the main force of the Chuzhou Army headed south on August 16th.
Just because everyone was suddenly driving out last time, the soldiers did not ask the soldiers to inform their home in advance.
This time, Shui Jin led the crowd back, but gave the soldiers a day off.
The imperial army was trapped in Bozhou, and the unified argument that the soldiers knew was that the white-soldiers stood in Huangzhou and Huai'an, and the Chuzhou army went north to congratulate.
The people don’t know what the big truth is, they only know that the White-Shirted Army lives a better life, and they do not keep increasing taxes, and their lives are peaceful day by day.
But they are also afraid of repetition.
It’s better to be in chaos. If you join forces, you won’t be afraid of the court going in chaos.
As for why three people went to the two places?
That's more to say?
The troops were about to pass through Bozhou, how could they not visit Marshal Liu and Master Tu San?
The little marshal must have visited relatives.
The people have their own guesses, and when they bid farewell to their soldiers, they are less sad and more lively.
Most of the three thousand troops under the command of the Shuijin were locals in the prefecture.
It was Huo Bao's command, and there were many children of the state prefecture who were recruited in early June.
The people were deported, and the gentry also came to see him off.
There is no way, every family has children in the army.
Nowadays, no one can say that their family is innocent and innocent.
Mr. Guo had his parents and children under the water, so he was even more polite and considerate. He asked someone to carry ten jars of wine and pickle pigs to the army.
Mr. Guo is good at fighting. In June and July, he stood out when he entered Liangshan, the capital to suppress bandits. He was already the leader of the word, and he was the leader of the word.
"San'er, I don't ask you to make achievements, I just hope you will be safe!"
"Don't worry, we have never lost a battle with General Shui!"
"Three, I have no eyes on my sword and gun. My father is really worried. When I come back this time, I will switch to the logistics department and I can also stand out from Master Ma Liu."
"Dad, please forgive me for being unfilial... My son doesn't want to be a cook... I'm very happy now! It's really happy!"
Mr. Guo’s eyes lit up.
Perhaps for others, the world is difficult and we hope for peace.
But in his eyes, such a chaotic time is his greatest opportunity.
Mr. Guo looked at his son who had been reborn and closed his eyes and stopped persuading each other.
“…”
Mr. Song also brought his young nephews over.
His eldest son was a scout's staff member, but he did not follow the army this time, but his nephew Song Qianzhi was on the ranks of the expedition.
"Qian'er, you can go out to see and see, and you should understand what your real strengths are. Don't try to show off your weaknesses and avoid strengths! You will get half the result with twice the effort!"
Mr. Song looked at his nephew with a bow and arrow on his back, showing a little helplessness.
Because his son became a staff member, Mr. Song also knew the difference between staff member and officers and soldiers.
The staff officer is a civil servant like joining the army.
The gentry's children join the army, isn't this a good way out? If you can play your strengths, you don't have to fight directly on the front line.
My nephew was the companion of the little marshal. He started better than others, but he voluntarily gave up his civil servants and would rather start with the military soldier.
What is this not a fool?
Song Qianzhi held his head up and said, "Uncle Second, scholars are useless in this world. The heroes who can protect the people in various places are those who hold swords!"
Mr. Song was speechless, patted his nephew's shoulder and sighed heavily.
...
Thousands of soldiers and horses drove away in the reluctance of local people.
Majestic and proud!
The people of Chuzhou support for the Chuzhou army and the gratitude of Marshal Huo when they mentioned Marshal Huo, General Yin puzzled.
The Chuzhou Army's military power made General Yin even more puzzled.
Until he was getting farther away from the prefecture, he still couldn't figure it out, so he pulled his horse to search for water and asked: "How will the people support the Chuzhou army? Do you love the fifth master?"
As for why not ask about Huo Bao next to him?
If your son is rude to evaluate his father, he will easily become biased.
Shui Jin said proudly: "The Chuzhou army protects the stability of the land, so why don't the people support it? The Wu Ye ordered the opening of canals, borrowing grain to help with summer farming, and ensuring autumn harvest, so that the Chuzhou people will resume production and life after the drought. Even the people in the city will receive more favors from the Wu Ye, so why don't they love it?"
General Yin frowned: "My senior brother gave porridge and medicine in Bozhou. He did not do less for local people than the fifth master, but..."
Shui Jin stayed in Bozhou City and glanced at General Yin: "What else can it be? What's the use of doing many good things? One person praised it, but it's not as good as ten people slandering it! If there are too many people who have slandered it, it's probably because even the people who have received the favor of Mr. Feng just pretended to be Feng and spent money to invite fame! He might as well be picky about the fact that the porridge was not thick and the medicine was not thick... I felt that he had suffered a great loss, so he made Mr. Feng's reputation in vain!"
Otherwise, with the 6,000 troops in full armament, Monk Feng could not compare with Marshal Sun, who held the recruited officers and soldiers in his hand, and Marshal Liu, who was all peasant soldiers?
General Yin was silent.
What Shui Jin said is true.
Huo Bao listened and understood in his heart that the biggest difference between Chuzhou and Bozhou was that his father had the final say.
Even if there are disobedient people and those who are punished for two rounds, they will not dare to make trouble.
By spreading rumors, white can turn black.
According to word of mouth, this ordinary person can also become a sage.
Monk Feng and his junior brothers, I wonder if they were too upright because of the simple living environment in the past.
Such people are not afraid of being enemies because they are easy to plot into the ditch.
In Bozhou, Marshal Sun and Marshal Liu just wanted to win over and did not swallow Monk Feng. They should know his background and did not want to offend the Feng family.
...
March for eighty miles.
That night, everyone was stationed at the junction of Chuzhou and Bozhou.
The ten-collar pigs given by Mr. Guo were all stewed in a big pot.
Tomorrow we will divide our troops, the less baggage, the better.
In the lonely wilderness, the fragrance spreads for ten miles.
This is really satisfying!
The soldiers had a full meal.
The two thousand newcomers who have joined the group have a better impression of Chuzhou.
Chuzhou is so good. I have to bid for Marshal Huo and I have meat to eat!
...
The next day, the three of them divided their troops.
The four counties of Bozhou, Zhongli County, the prefecture of the prefecture, Dingyuan County, Jiashan County and Zhaoyi County.
Before they went south, the officers and soldiers had already divided their troops to recover the counties in Bozhou.
General Yin took him to help Jiashan.
The water goes north and passes Zhaoyi County and goes to Huangzhou.
Huo Bao's troops were responsible for reinforcements of Dingyuan County, which was closest to Chuzhou.
Dingyuan County and Lingshui County are opposite the Ling River, only fifty miles away from Bozhou and Chuzhou. Now the defender is Liu Biao, the nephew of Marshal Liu.
The scout team has been sent out.
The young leaders who traveled with Huo Bao this time include Huo Bao, Hou Xiaoming, Li Yuan, Zhu Gang, Qiu Wei, Wu Yuan and others.
Liang Zhuang stayed in the prefecture to train 4,77 new recruits, and Gao Yue was responsible for teaching 300 staff members.
As for Zhu Qiang and Shi Sanliang, he assisted Liang Zhuang in training recruits as a white person.
