Chapter 472: Soldiers Sent to Mengjin
What Dong Zhuo explained, Niu Fu didn't dare to slack off. Put on armor, take three thousand elite horsemen, and immediately leave Mengjin Pass and rush in the direction of sour jujubes.
In the grass on the other side of the Turbid River, a few pairs of eyes watched the cavalry march away. When there was no movement outside, the scouts slowly got up from the grass and retreated, quickly disappearing into the night.
North of the Turbidity River, Heyang.
Near the foot of the Turbid River, a large army was stationed at some point. Although it was late at night, there were still many soldiers patrolling back and forth, vigilantly patrolling the surroundings.
Compared with the lazy soldiers on Meng Jinguan, they are too serious and conscientious.
It's not that they don't want to be lazy, it's that they don't dare.
General Gao, who commanded the army on this trip, had a straightforward temperament, took military discipline as the standard in everything, never bent the law for personal gain, and acted harshly.
A few days ago, General Cao Xing went out of the camp to walk his horse without authorization, but when he came back, he was caught by General Gao, reprimanded, and beat 20 military sticks with a staff in public, which hurt so much.
Let's ask who in the barracks doesn't know, the relationship between Cao and Lu Bu. On weekdays, Cao Xing made mistakes, and Lu Bu only gave a few words of verbal education, and never touched the real character.
Gao Shun said that he would fight, and his courage was inevitably too big.
The soldiers muttered in private, but no one dared to touch Gao Shun's head in person.
For Lu Bu, most of the soldiers were respectful from the heart, and for Gao Shun, they were mostly in awe.
Since going south, Gao Shun, as the commander, has never taken off his armor. Even if he rested at night, he just sat in the tent of the Chinese army, put his head on his hands, and rested on the copywriting table for one or two hours.
If there is a slight disturbance outside, he can wake up as soon as possible and rush to the scene.
Gao Shun is silent on weekdays and is not good at talking to others, but in his heart, he does not forget to remind himself at all times: The lord does not think I am humble, and entrusts me with important tasks.
As long as it is something that Lu Bu handed over, no matter how simple or difficult, he must do his best to do his best.
After the scout came back from Mengjin's side, he entered the tent and reported to Gao Shunyu: "General, Mengjin has thousands of cavalry troops set off overnight and went to the east. β
Gao Shun, who was taking a nap, woke up, heard the news, and suddenly fell asleep, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know who is the general of the army?" β
"It seems to be Meng Jin's guard Niu Fu." The scout replied.
"Good!"
Gao Shun said suddenly, there was a rare fluctuation on his resolute face, and his voice was loud: "Pass the order, and immediately gather the soldiers and horses." I will see everyone standing in front of me in half an hour. β
"Whoa!"
The soldier shouted his order and came out with his fists clenched.
Soon, the frequency of the non-tent soldiers increased. The soldiers who were asleep were woken up one after another, and while cursing Gao Shun and the living king of Hades, they honestly began to put on their armor and walked out of the tent.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Shun walked to the topographic map hanging on the wooden board. This topographic map, which he has studied countless times, its mountains and rivers, and the dangerous levels, are almost all deeply imprinted in his mind.
His eyes scanned the map again, and finally stayed at Mengjin Pass, Gao Shun's face was grim.
After guarding for half a month, I finally waited.
Half an hour later, the officers and men of the three armies were assembled.
The 10,000-strong Xiongnu army, 3,000 Dongqiang cavalry, 2,000 wolf cavalry battalions, and 5,000 Yellow Turban infantry who incorporated Tuntian were also allocated out. There is also a young marshal army that has grown to a few hundred people, and eight hundred have fallen into the camp......
Scattered together, the number of soldiers is as high as 30,000.
With the help of Gao Shun, Yu Fu Luo ascended to the throne of Shan Yu. Knowing that Gao Shun was going south to help LΓΌ Bu, Yu Fuluo took the initiative to show goodwill, and this time he made enough money to provide Gao Shun with 7,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 cavalry, all of which were under Gao Shun's command, and the grain and grass supplies they needed were all supplied by the Xiongnu themselves.
In order to form an alliance with Lu Bu in the future and sweep the north.
On the Qiang side, since Lu Bu helped them solve the matter of the Marquis of Xubu Bone last time, the Great Elder of Dongqiang also saw it, and asked many children of the clan to join Lu Bu's army, hoping that they could follow Lu Bu to make meritorious deeds and achieve something.
Gao Shun set up a Qiang cavalry battalion for this purpose, which was commanded by Hao Li, a member of the Eastern Qiang tribe.
As for the Yellow Turban Army that was recruited, they were even more grateful to Lu Bu. If Lu Bu hadn't taken them north to Wuyuan, it is estimated that they would have gone to Huangquan Road long ago.
After Wuyuan registered their household registration, they quickly got a share of the land, although not as much as the local people, but at least enough for the family not to starve to death.
Therefore, they were grateful from the bottom of their hearts and were willing to fight for Lu Bu's death.
Gao Shun climbed the corner tower in front of the camp, and countless eyes below looked at it in a flash.
Holding on to the railing, Gao Shun looked down and swept over everyone's faces, and a solemn feeling arose.
Standing below him were veterans of the battlefield such as the wolf cavalry camp and the trapping camp, as well as the Yellow Turban soldiers who had re-trained and the Hun soldiers who rushed to help.
When he glanced at the young marshal's army, Gao Shun paused slightly, standing in the front row were Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Pang De, Xu Shu, Cheng Cai, Cheng Qi, and Gao Yang, who was dressed in military uniform......
The little ones seem to have grown up unconsciously.
"Some of you are veterans of dozens of battles, and some are new recruits on the battlefield. But I hope that when you get to the battlefield, you can give each other's backs to each other's brothers and kill the enemy together! β
The majestic voice echoed and reached everyone's ears.
Gao Shun is not good at making some exciting speeches, he prefers to work hard rather than talk about it. However, as the coach of this trip, if he wants to boost morale before leaving, he must say something.
"This is the first time we have traveled south from Bingzhou, and the lord has placed great trust on us. Therefore, the first place to go south, Mengjin Pass, must be taken! β
"Wait, can you have the confidence to break the level?"
With Gao Shun's last shout, the faces of the soldiers below were already extremely fanatical, raising the weapons in their hands and roaring excitedly: "Break the level!" Beat the level! β
The Young Marshal's Military Department, Zhang Liao and others are all responding to Gao Shun in a loud voice, but Ma Chao is the only one who is out of the world. He hesitated in his mind for a long time, and finally made up his mind, and walked to Gao Yang's side, his immature face had a firmness that did not match the past: "When the time comes, you follow me, and I will protect you." β
Gao Yang didn't look at Ma Chao, and said lightly: "No." β
Ma Chao, who received this reply, was obviously quite frustrated, hanging his head and unable to see the expression on his face clearly.
Half a month ago, the army arrived in Heyang, and since then there has been no action, staying here and stopping.
Someone asked Gao Shun privately, and Gao Shun gave only one word for the answer: wait.
What exactly are you waiting for, Gao Shun didn't say.
Now that the opportunity has finally come, the belligerent spirit in the hearts of the soldiers has also been completely stimulated.
After getting off the corner tower, Gao Shun rode on a high-headed horse, walked in front, and waved his big hand.
Let's go!
