Chapter 65: Small Groups
In fact, Li Zhongyi's idea has always been very simple: in this war between the Great Zhou and the Great Shu, save his life, return to Chengdu safely and smoothly, and continue to enjoy his blessings. This article was written by......
Therefore, Li Zhongyi didn't care, the backbone of the township army he formed single-handedly were all Guo Huai's people. After the battle, each went back to his own home, each looking for his own mother, he patted his ass and left directly, relaxed and happy.
But now, although Guo Huai said it very tactfully, the meaning of his words was to resolutely oppose the disbandment of the township army.
When Li Zhongyi was mixed with officialdom in his last life, he deeply understood a truth: blocking people's financial path is like killing parents; The official movement of stopping people is to dig up people's ancestral graves.
Guo Huai's persuasion made Li Zhongyi realize that the township army he formed single-handedly had become a united interest group now that it had not gained fame and had no military achievements.
But the problem is, with such a large team of more than 2,000 people, even the high-powered Meng Renyi can't solve all the staffing problems?
At this moment, Li Zhongyi suddenly felt that not only his head hurt, but also his eggs!
"Well, as long as this battle is over, I think that Meng Shuai's army will definitely need to be supplemented with a lot of meritorious warriors."
At the moment when the enemy was present, Li Zhongyi did not dare to disturb the morale of the army, so he had to give a vague promise.
According to the military system of Shu, a commander (battalion) has 5oo people, and five commanders are an army with 25oo people.
The township army, which originally belonged to non-staff personnel, suddenly turned into an army of the regular forbidden army, even if Meng Renyi is Meng Chang's favorite younger brother, I am afraid it will not be possible.
For the emperor, it is very taboo for his senior generals to expand their army in private.
Of course, with the deep friendship between Li Zhongyi and Meng Renyi, there was no particularly big problem in arranging a small group of nearly 1,000 people to form a battalion-level unit with a slightly larger establishment in Jinwuwei and commanded by Guo Huai.
With Li Zhongyi's promise, Yao Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, these days, the old soldiers and brothers are privately worried, after this battle, where will the entire township army go?
In fact, with Guo Huai's understanding of Li Zhongyi, he is not worried about the fate of his old brother.
What Guo Huai has been secretly pondering is that the entire township army group that follows Li Zhongyi's side will have a longer-term problem.
Power is not only an aphrodisiac, but also a smoking, once addicted, it is difficult to quit.
After being the deputy marshal for a few months, Guo Huai deeply felt that it was good to have power!
Li Zhongyi looks very easy-going and easy to talk to on the surface. In fact, in Guo Huai's view, when life and death are at stake, Li Zhongyi is by no means a soft-hearted person, and his actions are unusually ruthless.
The examples are stark. Xia Bing Cao of Hechi County, because of his collusion with mountain bandits, Yan zhΓ²ng threatened the safety of Hechi County. As a result, his whole family, young and old, was spared, and all fell under the butcher's knife of the township army.
It was the township army brothers who killed the people, but it was Li Zhongyi who held the handle of the knife tightly.
At this time, Huang Jingsheng suddenly interjected: "Son, one Wuhou shop can accommodate at least fifty brothers. β
Guo Huai was ecstatic when he heard this, when the time comes, the elite township army will go to be a forbidden army, and the rest of the people can be dispersed and become the martial marquis in charge of public security.
In this way, the problem of the way out for the entire township army will be solved.
Li Zhongyi glared at Huang Jingsheng fiercely, this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, having a gun is the simple truth of the uncle, and there are really many people who understand.
Seeing Guo Huai looking at himself with blank eyes, Li Zhongyi's heart suddenly softened, no matter what he said, this team was also his hard work.
To give an inappropriate example, the entire township army is similar to the Red First Army of the Red Army under Li Zhongyi, which is the descendant of the Red Miaozheng.
Seeing that Li Zhongyi finally nodded, Guo Huai and Yao Hong were overjoyed, and their future was worry-free!
After solving the problem of the future fate of the township army, Li Zhongyi held the tea cup in his hand and asked Guo Huai with a smile: "The fortress has been repaired?" β
Guo Huai said: "It's not so fast, but before dawn, it can definitely be completed." The terrain of the mountain we occupy is very good, not only firmly locking the throat of the mountain pass, but also has a lot of large stones and rough wood, so there is no need to spend too much effort to transport it back. β
"Well, you should prepare more rolling logs and stones, and the most important thing is to guard against enemy attacks, and be sure to prepare utensils for storing water in advance." Li Zhongyi's mind has always been tightened, and no matter where he goes, guarding against fire attacks is regarded by him as his first priority.
"There are a lot of bamboos on the mountain, and the last general asked the carpenters accompanying the army to split bamboo to divert water, and the ground outside the village has been thoroughly watered. Not to mention arson, it is difficult for the enemy to climb the mountain. In addition, when the last general ordered the trees to be cut down, he instructed the brothers to leave some low stumps. Guo Huai explained his deployment in detail.
Li Zhongyi nodded frequently, and at the end, he asked Guo Huai again: "The scout sent to Hechi to report the news should have arrived, right?" β
"Yes. The last general successively sent three groups of scout cavalry back to the city to report the news, and at this time, they should have all arrived. β
After all, Guo Huai was too far away from the upper-level decision-making circle, and he didn't know that Li Zhongyi was actually forced out of Hechi County by Li Tinggui.
According to common sense, after the township army has lost Gaoliang Village, it should turn around and run back to Hechi City in the dark overnight.
However, Li Zhongyi did not adopt this construction, but ordered the rear army to choose a dangerous location and set up camp.
Guo Huai has not thought too clearly about this.
Li Zhongyi is really not easy to explain the real reason. You can't tell Guo Huai directly, as long as he escapes back to Hechi City with the township army, he is likely to be taken advantage of by Li Tinggui to find ballast and cut off his head, right?
Although Guo Huai is credible, he still needs time to observe. Li Zhongyi never planned to completely put his fate in the hands of anyone.
In his previous life, when he first entered the officialdom, a colleague Li Zhongyi once trusted very much, but at the critical moment of promotion, he stabbed him in the back with a black knife.
After that, except for his parents, Li Zhongyi no longer dared to trust anyone lightly.
When the sky was bright, a strange-shaped polygonal fortress stood in front of everyone, attracting everyone's private discussion.
"Ugly to death......"
"What a quirky ......"
"Haven't seen ......"
Li Zhongyi, who was sleeping soundly, naturally couldn't hear the whispers of his subordinates, he got up too late last night and urgently needed to make up for sleep.
After breakfast, the people and the villagers, who had been busy all night, went into the tents and fell asleep.
Guo Huai, who had not slept all night, called the officers of the first and second battalions, and above the team, to his side and led them into the fortress.
"This is called the fortress, and I ask you to arrange the guards as follows, five archers, five crossbowmen, five sword and shield bearers and pikemen in charge of covering, five each. In addition, it is necessary to leave at least twenty death squads near the fortress so that the enemy troops who rush in can be held back at any time......" Guo Huaizai explained in detail, and finally asked the officers, "Is there anything else that is not clear?" β
"Understood."
Guo Huai nodded and said, "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." In our entire township army, what Xiang Shuai values most is your two battalions, but don't embarrass Lao Tzu. β
"Lao Tzu will say the ugly words in front today, who dares to take half a step back, Lao Tzu knows you, the ghost knife in his hand does not have long eyes." Guo Huai put down the cruel words, turned around and left.
Until Li Zhongyi made up for sleep and eat, and there was no trace of Zhou Jun under the mountain, he felt a little strange in his heart, so he asked Guo Huai, who had dark circles under his eyes.
Guo Huai smiled and said: "Xiangshuai, our army is familiar with the terrain, and its foot strength is very outstanding, even if it is dark, it can retreat more than 20 miles." The soldiers of the Zhou army, I'm afraid it's hard to say. β
A few people were talking and laughing, when they heard a bamboo whistle on the top of the mountain in front of them, and it came into everyone's ears one after another.
Zhao Kuangyin is finally here!
Li Zhongyi was faintly uneasy, this was his battle, although he had taken advantage of the location, he was still a little unsure in his heart.
It is still unknown whether the township army, which has only been trained for a few months, can withstand the attack of Zhao Kuangyin's elite Zhou army.
From the alarm to the appearance of the Zhou army at the foot of the mountain, it actually took more than an hour.
Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, the ancients, I don't deceive you!
As the Zhou army drove over continuously, the atmosphere on the entire walled wall suddenly tensed.
Success or failure in this battle, Li Zhongyi also raised a heart to his throat. If after the first battle, he smoothly defended Dazhai, then he could send someone to contact Zhao Kuangyin.
Sue sΓΉ Zhao Kuangyin, his own brother and hardcore brother, are all in Li's camp.
Historically, Zhao Laoer, who has always advertised friendship, will make what choice he will make in the end, Li Zhongyi is still quite looking forward to it.
Just when Li Zhongyi was looking at the movement of the Zhou army in the distance, Zhao Kuangyin had already climbed a small hill nearby.
Zhao Kuangyin wore a white robe, stood in the wind, staring at the Shu army Dazhai, but was speechless for a long time.
"What a powerful cottage...... Zhao Kuangyin didn't seem to hear Wang Zhengzhong's nagging, he muttered to himself, "The defense of the Shu army has no dead ends, no matter which side you attack from, it will be difficult to avoid being injured by the bow and arrow next to you." β
Obviously, Zhao Kuangyin has understood the power of the fortress, and he is worthy of a generation of famous generals.
"Damn, what kind of ghost village is this?" Wang Zhengzhong is still a chatterbox, and his mouth is always idle, "I said, why don't you let me play as a striker?" β
Zhao Kuangyin smiled coldly and said, "Don't be impatient." You'll find out later, why not let you go forward. β
"Where is the convoy of chickens carrying water?" Zhao Kuangyin turned his head and asked the staff next to him, and the staff replied, "Back to Zhao Shuai, it is less than three miles away from here." β
"Well, in a war in a ravine, dry food comes second, and the main thing is water." Zhao Kuangyin is not a vain person, in addition to pressing up with heavy troops, he always pays attention to the major events of logistics.
Halfway through the war, the stupid thing that the soldiers had no water to drink would never have happened to Zhao Kuangyin.
"Gao Cong, that guy is out of action. Wang Zhengzhong pursed his lips and watched with disdain as Gao Cong's flag gradually moved forward, "This guy has always relied on Zhang Yongde's momentum and never put you in his eyes. β
"Shut up." Zhao Kuangyin couldn't bear it anymore, and finally exploded, and reprimanded Wang Zhengzhong, who was too talkative.
Zhao Kuangyin, who is usually very friendly, is really angry, and his cold face is indeed terrifying.
Wang Zhengzhong shrank his head in embarrassment, closed his mouth sneeringly, and didn't dare to say more.
After a while, Zhao Kuangyin was a little angry, walked up to Wang Zhengzhong, who was depressed, patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said gently: "Dafang, tell me, when did my second brother Zhao treat his brother badly?" Just find one, and I'll screw my head off and give you the pot for the night. β
Wang Zhengzhong, who was rubbed very comfortably by Zhao Kuangyin, obviously had the anger in his heart gone, but he pretended to be a gesture and said coldly: "Hmph, Lao Tzu doesn't want you to be such an ugly night pot." β
