As the saying goes, there is no boundless edge for 10,000 people. A full army of 80,000, this is all the men and horses that the emperor assigned to Su Ren, except for the border counties of Wuhuan and Goguryeo, the imperial court almost hollowed out all the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized in Hebei. I heard that the manpower in Li Guang's hands was transferred from Jingzhou and Shudi, and it was already good to be able to give Su Ren the border army.
Among the three generals named by the emperor, only Wei Qing led the Northern Army, which was one of the two most effective teams in the imperial court, and the others could only stand aside, who let them not have the slightest blood relationship with the emperor's family. From the allocated troops, it can be seen that the emperor's posture of favoring one over the other, but no one can say much in his heart. An army of 80,000 needs a large camp, and there are no less than 10,000 people who work in the barracks every day.
The war will start in the spring of next year, and at this time so many people will be gathered in order to let them adapt to the weather and climate outside the Saiwai, especially the troops from Jingzhou and Shuzhong in Li Guang's hands, the cold and wind and sand outside the Saiwai are not well estimated, if it were not for the cotton clothes provided by Meng Fangtian, I am afraid that they would not have to go out to the Saiwai, and the winter in the north would have killed them.
The open space under Yanmen Mountain was all utilized, and Su Ren divided the 80,000-strong army into four parts, led by Lei Bei, Liu Jian, Li Cheng and Huo Quzhi. Depending on the personality and temperament of each person, the number of troops under his command varies, and the personnel are also different. Lei was steadily and naturally commanded the Chinese army, and it was also the largest group in the army. Huo Qubing was frivolous, and all the eight thousand cavalry were handed over to Huo Qubing to lead, in fact, Su Ren also had a selfish motive in doing this, he wanted to see if the current Huo Qubing was the same as the one in history. Liu Jian commanded the scouts, although the number was small, it was indeed the essence of the entire army. Li Cheng is Su Ren's old man and works seriously, so Su Ren handed over the safety of the rear army and supply lines to him.
In addition to these people, Su Ren also has a special army in his hands, and there are very few people who know the existence of this army, except for Su Ren, there is only Han Qing, and even Huo Qubing and Lei are not known. The origin of these people is very mysterious, and they are not stationed with the army, they are stationed in the most remote corner of Yanmen Pass, and they rarely show up in ordinary times, and there are special people in charge of everything they need.
These people were named warriors by Su Ren, and naturally they were also the ones who wanted to do the most dangerous things. Mo Yu is the leader of these people, that is, the captain of these people. Because these people were originally ink scholars, since Mo Cong was disheartened, Mo Yu took over the Mo family, and they turned to Su Ren. Speaking of which, these people are not soldiers of the Han Dynasty, because before taking refuge in Su Ren, Mo Yu made it clear that the relationship between the Mo family and the Han family had already determined that they would not help the Han Dynasty, let alone take refuge in the Han Dynasty, even if they wanted to be attached, they could only be Su Ren.
The Mo family has also made a lot of determination this time, and there are 500 good siblings transferred from all over the country. Although they didn't play much of a role in the war of tens of thousands of people, Su Ren showed from the perspective of modern people that these people might have a surprise effect if they were used well.
In addition to the Mo family, Su Ren also has a hole card in his hand, which is Su Ren's greatest reliance, only they are not afraid of any danger in Su Ren, and it is also the key and confidence that Su Ren will win in every battle. This most mysterious team is stationed in the depths of Yanshan Mountain, thirty miles away from Yanmen Pass, and Huang Shisan personally leads people to block the main road, no matter who goes, as long as there is only one way without Su Ren's edict, it is death.
Speaking of this mysterious team, in fact, they are not soldiers, but more than a hundred middle-aged people who look very wooden. The leader was like rolling in a sesame heap, not a piece of flesh was intact, and even an arm was missing. People are very strong, but it is a pity that the huge head has neither a head nor eyebrows, and it is bare and frightening.
The name of this strange man is Shi Manzhu, and no one in Yanmen has ever heard of this name and no one knows this person. If Hawking and Gou Tianming were here, they would definitely be far away from Shi Manzhu, and in their seriousness, Shi Manzhu would be the representative of death. Although Shi Manzhu has never killed anyone with his own hands, the people who died indirectly in his hands are not too much.
Shi Manzhu was just a stonemason back then, and by chance, Shi Manzhu won Su Ren's trust, and Su Ren handed over a cross-era thing to him, and Shi Manzhu has been incognito and silently doing his own thing for so many years. This time, Su Ren transferred Shi Manzhu from the deep mountains of Yelang to Yanmen Pass, in order to satisfy Shi Manzhu's wishes, show Shi Manzhu in front of people, and also show Shi Manzhu's gunpowder that has taken more than ten years of hard work in front of people.
Standing in front of tens of thousands of people, Su Ren was wearing the fine iron chain armor offered by Zhuo Wenjun's father, Zhuo Wangsun, and the whole person was very different in terms of momentum. The long sword in his waist was given by Liu Che, standing high on the school reading platform, and there were all kinds of faces in front of him at a glance. Everyone looked up at him, hoping to see what he was doing.
"Ahem!" After clearing his throat, Su Ren tried to make the loudest voice as much as possible: "Sons! β
I am afraid that it is rare to see people nowadays even if they are in the army, and one person roars and shakes the mountains. Su Ren's roar made the 80,000 army in front of him tremble. Su Ren has no outstanding martial arts, no outstanding strategy, and he is not a prince or nobleman in terms of background, and his transformation from a general of Shangjiadao has almost become a myth of the Han Dynasty. Back then, Gaozu went from pavilion chief to emperor, and Su Ren was a freak who was just a pair, which made Gaozu's myth more credible.
Su Ren is not an expert in war, he only knows a rough idea of the arrangement, and it is these that probably make him win again and again, Yelang, Qiang, Yuanshan bandits, Nanyue to the last Xiongnu Western Regions people are all defeated under his hands, it seems not strange to call Su Ren the god of war.
There are 80,000 pairs of eyes out of 80,000 people, not including those war horses and beasts, the school military yard station under Yanshan is impassable, layer by layer and neat, those who wear red clothes are insufficient, those in black clothes and black armor are cavalrymen, archers with longbows and arrows on their backs, and those craftsmen and people who wear people's clothes. There are old people and teenage dolls, and from the faces of these 80,000 people, you can see how determined the emperor is this time.
Before the war, there is usually a mobilization meeting, but Su Ren's mobilization meeting was very short, and it can be summed up in only two sentences, one is to try to live, and the other is to die, it doesn't matter, he will send copper coins with the same weight as the body of these soldiers to his house. Just these two things made 80,000 people excited, and there were not many generals who let you live without saying that they were desperate before the war, and even fewer who sent money. How much does it cost to be equal to his own weight, a thin man looked at the fat man next to him and sighed, extremely depressed.
The mobilization meeting only took half an hour, and it was enough to say it once, but talking too much made people feel too fake. Su Ren's unique words with all kinds of vulgar slang made everyone very intimate, and in their hearts, they looked like a general, and those generals who only knew how to use people to death should be shot with black arrows.
At the end of the mobilization meeting, it became a competition to eat meat and drink wine, this was the last lively time for the soldiers, many of them could not see the spring of next year, this is the fate of the soldiers, none of them will complain, as long as the general who drinks with him speaks, it is worth dying now.
The high wine mixed with half of the water still made many people drunk, and a guy with five big and three thick rolled up his arms and sleeves, hugged Su Ren's shoulders, and spit wine in his mouth: "General, you are the most different general I have ever seen, you are more kind to talk and do things, my Lao Zhang's life will be handed over to you, if you can get away with it, when you finish fighting the Huns, my Lao Zhang will invite you to drink, and the second pot head of Cuixiang Building." β
Su Ren nodded, picked up his wine bowl and touched it with Dahan: "Then it's decided, I won't drink it if it's not the second pot head of Cuixiang Building!" β
"Guaranteed to be true!" The big man drank down the corners of his mouth: "Are you really willing to buy the lives of your brothers with so much money?" I'm a big man, and if I die, I'll need a lot of money. β
Lao Zhang's words immediately aroused the interest of a group of soldiers around him, and they all turned their heads to look at Su Ren. Su Ren glanced around: "Is 10,000 dollars enough?" If you're sure you're going to die in battle, I'll have someone send you money tomorrow!" β
"Bah, bah, ......" Lao Zhang hurriedly spat out, causing everyone to laugh.
Su Ren patted Lao Zhang's back: "Hahaha, don't worry, I'm still waiting for you to invite General Ben to drink, if you die, who will invite me to drink for a long time, General Ben will never eat salt this time, you can be a witness, if that brother is injured and alive, I didn't do what I said on the stage just now, you can all spit on General Ben's grain merchant, if you unfortunately die in battle, you can cut General Ben's meat to compensate for one less son, how about it?" β
"Good!"
"General, we believe in you!"
"General, I am from Lingnan, and I followed you to South Vietnam, knowing that you are the first to spare him!"
β¦β¦
It was noisy all night, and the whole camp was brightly lit, and everyone except those standing guard had wine and meat. Even those who stood guard were set aside for a part of them.
This was the first time Su Ren had come to the barracks since he came to Yanmen Pass, and the first time he had spoken to 80,000 people. From now on, his words and deeds are the words that will determine the life and death of this group of people. The lives of 80,000 people were in their hands, and this feeling was like a mountain pressing on their backs, which was extremely heavy.
I don't know how much Su Ren drank and was drunk unconscious, and when he woke up, it was still dark, and after asking Manniu, he knew that he had slept for a whole day and a night. The stomach was empty, so that the wild cow got some food, Su Ren didn't get out of bed and started eating one by one. After eating eight breads and drinking two bowls of gruel, I felt more comfortable. Stretching his waist, Su Ren uncovered the quilt and got out of bed. The war with the Huns began from this moment!
