Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Great Army Sets Out
Two months later, in Wuguan City, on the school ground, swords and guns were like snow, and flags were like clouds. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
This day is September 12 of the fourth year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, the autumn is high and cool, the clouds are light and the wind is light, it is the auspicious day of the zodiac, suitable for the expedition, Liu He gathered more than 60,000 troops under his command, including 10,000 Jingzhou troops sent by Liu Biao, 15,000 cavalry under Liu He, and 35,000 infantry, plus Wen Ping, Li Tong, Chen Zhi, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Yu Ban and other generals, Guo Jia, Xun You, Xu Shu, Liu Ye, Cui Jun, Wang Cang and other strategists, it can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong, and the military generals gather.
The officers and men of the three armies were all lined up in a neat line, and even a needle falling on the ground could be heard on the school ground, and Liu He stood on the platform of the generals, presiding over the swearing-in ceremony.
"Soldiers, the so-called righteous and unscrupulous, the traitors Li Dao, Guo Yan, etc., were originally the national thief Dong Zhuo's remnants, Dong thief was destroyed, Li Dao, Guo Yan rat generation should have changed the past and abandoned the old evil, but the two thieves not only did not hesitate to evil, but intensified, and even led the army to Chang'an, hijacked the Son of Heaven, bullied hundreds of officials, and appointed the local state pastor at will, and also sold the official beard, which made people hate it, I am now ordered by the Son of Heaven to unite the world's aspirants to raise troops against the thief, aiming at Jing Qingyu, welcome back the Son of Heaven, and re-establish my Han Tianwei, Let the world be peaceful, Haiyan River clear, I hope that the soldiers will work together to kill the enemy, all those who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded, and those who violate discipline will be severely punished! ”
Liu He said a sentence above, and hundreds of military men with loud voices in the front row repeated it loudly. In fact, there is no way to do this, after all, this is a gathering of tens of thousands of people, and it is simply unrealistic to shout so that everyone can hear it at the same time.
In fact, don't say that it is tens of thousands of people, even if thousands of people are gathered together, it is difficult for all people to hear clearly when one person shouts, so at that time, only a few people in the front row can hear, if it is really necessary for everyone to know, then there are two options, one is to send the heralds to shout in unison like Liu He, and then after the oath is over, the words spoken by the commanders of the grassroots officers and generals are repeated to the soldiers.
This time, in order to be able to infect the soldiers and boost their morale, Liu He chose to let the soldiers hear his speech on the spot, so he adopted this method.
After that, Liu He ordered Wang Cang to read out the text written by Wang Cang himself to crusade against Li Dao Guo Yan, and still took the previous way, in fact, even if hundreds of soldiers shouted together, many soldiers because they were illiterate, so they couldn't understand the meaning of the text at all, but because of Wang Cang's stunt "poetry" launched, the soldiers were able to clearly understand the meaning contained in the text, after hearing the text, they suddenly felt blood boiling, and they hated to go to the battlefield now, kill the national thief, and establish great achievements, so the morale was raised again, In the end, they roared in unison, and the roar shook Xiao Han, and the violent killing intent made people smell and change color.
For Liu He's oath, all the soldiers under his command have never experienced it, and the Wen Ren who was sent from Jingzhou is even more unheard of, and even he who has always been calm feels the blood flowing in his body, and he can't kill thieves and make meritorious contributions, and his name will go down in history.
"There is such an oath in this world, and I can be regarded as knowledgeable, no wonder I was defeated by Liu Yuanjun at the beginning, and now it seems that I am not wronged at all, alas, and that Wang Cang, who was originally not favored at all under the command of the lord, but I didn't expect that the written text could be so emotionally mobilized and inspiring the morale of the army, so that people should not be good-looking, simply judge people by their appearance, so that the lord will lose an excellent talent in vain, and I don't know if the lord will regret it after he knows?"
Seeing those Liu Hejun officers and soldiers who were burned by passion, Wen Ping couldn't help but sigh in his heart, on the one hand, he felt that Liu He's eyes were like a torch, he could identify talents, and make the best use of his talents, on the other hand, he also felt that his own lord judged people by his appearance, was short-sighted, and could not retain talented people.
Because of this, for the first time in Wenpin's life, he felt a trace of regret because he chose Liu Biao.
"How good would it be if we could meet a master like Liu Yuanjun from the beginning? It's just a pity that time is also fate...... However, the lord of my literary appointment can be regarded as a grace of understanding, although Cai Mao has been squeezing out me, but I can't just leave the lord. ”
Wen Ping thought of Cai Mao's recent exclusion of himself, and his heart was infinitely depressed, because Cai Mao let himself chase and kill Liu He, and he didn't go, so he was constantly squeezed out by Cai Mao, this time with Liu He going to Chang'an, Liu Biao originally sent Cai Mao to come, and sent himself to garrison the newly built Fancheng, but Cai Mao in order to give his younger brother Cai Zhong the position of the guard of Fancheng, so he excused himself from illness and was unwilling to come, and recommended him Wenpin.
Before Wen Ping's departure, Cai Mao had already arranged for his younger brother Cai Zhong to serve as the guard of Fancheng.
Wen Ping's heart is like a mirror, knowing Cai Mao's tricks, but he doesn't care, in his opinion, as long as he can serve the lord, it will be the same no matter where he is, and he borrowed himself to Liu He's account to listen to it, he didn't reject it much, but there was a trace of surprise, not only because he respected Liu He's personality, but also wanted to have a deeper understanding of the reason why Liu He was able to defeat himself with those recruits who had practiced for less than half a year.
And just when Wen Ping was full of emotion, he saw the flag swinging, the military drum vibrating, and the soldiers lined up in a neat line, taking majestic steps, walking out of the school field in turn like flowing water, and began to walk out of the martial arts, heading towards the front.
In this process, the Chinese hired found that Liu He's army acted in teams, and each team was still shouting strange slogans, which were actually very simple, that is, "one, two, three, four", and later he gradually understood that whenever the team was shouting "one", the soldiers would buy the left leg together, and when they shouted "two", they would step on the right leg, which made the whole team look very neat, even in the process of running, the formation was still very regular, without a trace of distraction.
"I've never heard of such a strange way of marching." Seeing this scene, Wen Ping couldn't help but sigh, and then couldn't help but ask Zhou Cang, the general not far away: "General Zhou, such a peculiar way of marching your army is really amazing, I don't know which genius designed it?" ”
"Hehe, General Wen, you can also see it, I won't tell you, this strange way of marching is officially created by my lord, and its benefits don't need to be introduced by Zhou, right?"
Zhou Cang smiled, with a smug look on his face.
"It turned out to be created by Liu Yuanjun, alas, today I learned that Liu Yuanjun is not only ambitious, Corporal Lixian, but also a military genius, and he is really admired by him!" Looking at the figure of Liu He riding on a horse not far away, a strong sense of admiration emerged in Wen Ping's eyes.
