Chapter 503: Troops!
The right battalion of the forbidden army has a total of eight Zhechong Mansions, originally five for Ye Ming and four for Li Xin, and there are more than 50,000 people on Li Xin's side, while Ye Ming's side is less than 100,000.
Although after arriving in Jingzhou, Li Xin handed over the three Zhechong Mansions to Ye Ming to take care of, but at this time, it was still easy to divide, and the little grandfather Ye Mao listened to his father's words very much and followed Li Xin again.
In the following ten days, the army was officially prepared, and Li Xin took the lead in setting off from Jingzhou City with three Zhichong Mansions.
At the gate of Jingzhou City, Ye Shaobao rode a horse and personally sent Li Xin off.
"Chang'an, I won't say anything superfluous for my brother, and when the southwest is calmed down, I invite you to have a good drink in the capital for my brother."
Li Xin nodded happily.
"Senior Brother Ye can afford it, and when he returns to the capital, the younger brother invites the senior brother to drink in the proud building."
At that time, Ye Ming had already worked in the Northern Army of Jimen Guanzhen, and was not in the capital, so he had never heard the name of the proud building, thinking that it was just an ordinary restaurant, and said with a smile: "Then it's decided, Chang'an be careful along the way." ”
"You rush to Didao from here, it is estimated that it will take a month or two, for my brother during this time, try to defeat Hanzhong as much as possible, so that the Pingnan army has no intention of caring where you go."
Because most of them are foot soldiers, so the mobility is very poor, not to mention tens of thousands of people marching, even hundreds of dozens of people marching along the way, it is difficult not to be discovered, like Li Xin with tens of thousands of people leaving Jingzhou City, it is almost inevitable that Li Shen will be discovered, the question is how far Li Shen's people can follow.
What Ye Ming meant by this sentence was that after Li Xin set off, he would also leave for Hanzhong to cover Li Xin.
The Marquis of Jing'an lowered his eyebrows and said: "Senior brother, don't worry, I am not going fast on this march, and I will send someone to clean up the southwest eyeliner behind me, and try to ensure that no one follows behind me." ”
"In this way, after the senior brother fights in Hanzhong, the southwest may not be able to find out where I went."
Ye Shaobao sighed.
"In the past few days, I have asked those mountain people in detail for my brother, although you can bypass the Sword Pavilion by going to Yinping, but if you want to cross the natural danger of Motianling, Chang'an must be cautious."
Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, junior brother can save it." ”
He himself naturally knew that Deng Ai in the other world had passed through Motianling, and before he had encountered the Shu army, he had died a small number of people first, and finally miraculously walked to Jiangyou, broke through to the defenseless Shu capital, and then Adou Xiancheng surrendered.
Today's Li Xin is definitely not as good as Deng Ai with his troops, but he is mentally prepared in advance, and he still has some hidden means, although it cannot guarantee that everyone can cross the Ferris Ridge alive, at least it can guarantee that the casualties will not be too heavy.
In this way, the two brothers separated under the city of Jingzhou.
When the sun rose high, Li Xin led the three Zhichong Mansions and began to march.
Because Li Xin is the chief general of this army, he is in charge of the Chinese army, and the little grandfather Ye Mao and the military advisor Zhao Jia follow Li Xin on horseback.
Ye Mao looked left and right, and asked a little strangely: "Uncle Shi, why is the black-faced Yulin Weilang general beside you missing?" ”
He knew Mu Ying's name, but he didn't say it.
Li Xin said with a smile: "He went home to visit relatives, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back after a while, so don't worry about him." ”
Ye Mao nodded and continued to ask, "Uncle Shi, where are we going?" ”
Li Xin and Ye Ming's discussion, some Ye Mao listened to it with him, and some he didn't, like some specific battle plans, Ye Dashao was not very clear at all, so he asked.
Li Xin shook his head and said helplessly: "You follow me, you will do whatever I tell you to do." ”
"Your father told me that he wanted me to exercise you well, and now there is a job for you to do, do you do it?"
Young Grandpa Ye smiled: "Uncle Shi just speaks." ”
"Wait a minute, after we walk out of the ten miles, you will lead a cavalry battalion of your Zhichong Mansion to cruise behind our army, remember, as long as it is the people who follow us for ten miles, no matter who they are, they will all be arrested, and if there is resistance, they will be killed on the spot immediately."
Although Ye Mao is not very smart, but he grew up in a family of Jiangmen since he was a child, he can still understand the reason why Li Xin did this, in order to hide the traces of the army, hearing this, the little grandfather nodded, bowed his head and said: "The last general will obey the general's order." ”
In the army, he is more disciplined than Li Xin, after all, Old Man Ye has taught him since he was a child that military orders cannot be done, as long as it is a general's order, this little grandfather implements it very seriously.
He immediately turned around and went down to carry out Li Xin's order.
After Ye Mao left, Zhao Jia, who was following Li Xin, was silent for a while, and finally slowly spoke: "Master Hou, where are we going?" ”
Li Xin turned his head to look at Zhao Jia, and then smiled slightly.
"Go and fight Hanzhong."
"Impossible."
Zhao Jia shook his head categorically: "There are also twenty or thirty thousand Pingnan troops in Hanzhong, our numbers are not enough, and Hanzhong is not broken and cannot enter Shu, Uncle Ye can't know this, and it is unlikely that he will let us go to Hanzhong for no reason." ”
Li Xin smiled and shook his head.
"Brother You'an is still shrewd, and he can't hide anything from you."
"This time, it is Senior Brother Ye who is in charge of fighting Hanzhong, we have another task here, what are we going to do, and I will talk to Brother You'an when we get to the place."
"Uncle Ye went to fight Hanzhong ......"
Zhao Jia lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and then his face was solemn.
"Do you remember what Hou Ye said last time when he asked about the situation in the southwest?"
Li Xin thought about it for a while, and then thought of it.
"That was before we arrived in Jingzhou, and Brother You'an said at the time that if it really started, the southwest side would not lose the first battle no matter what."
Zhao Jia nodded slightly.
"Master Hou, this Hanzhong battle is the first battle, this battle against the southern army will inevitably pay a lot of effort, even if they suffer a little loss, they must grit their teeth and win the first battle."
The southwest is already at a disadvantage, so they urgently need a victory to inspire, even if it is a "loss-making" victory, they are willing to fight.
Li Xin took a deep breath.
He had indeed forgotten about it.
"I forgot to tell Senior Brother Ye about this matter, and I will send someone to send him a letter later to remind him."
Zhao Jia nodded and continued: "Originally, our strength was not superior compared to the Pingnan Army, but now Uncle Ye also asked Hou Ye to divide his troops, guess that Hou Ye and Uncle Ye want to make a dangerous move?" ”
Jing Anhou was completely stunned.
Because these things are considered confidential, Li Xin didn't tell Zhao Jia in detail at ordinary times, but he actually guessed this thing by himself......
Talent!
Jing Anhou glanced back at Zhao Jia, and said with a smile: "Brother You'an, isn't it some kind of immortal who can pinch and calculate?" ”
Zhao Jia shook his head repeatedly.
"It's just a matter of facts."
He said in a low voice: "Master Hou, listen to how this dangerous move should be taken in the next chapter, I don't know if it is inconvenient for Master Hou to say?" ”
"It's convenient to say, it's natural to say it."
Li Xin still trusted Zhao Jia very much, and told him and Ye Ming's plan one by one.
Zhao Youan frowned slightly.
"Master Hou, you and Uncle Ye are too anxious......"
