Chapter 0039: The Holy Land of Soldiers
Wu Yong's bait team did not confront the Tucheng officers and soldiers head-on, but only led the officers and soldiers in a big circle, except for a few sprains and falls, there were no other casualties and attrition.
More than 20 people were recruited from Tucheng, plus the old department of Bai Huan, and now Liu Mang has a team of more than 70 people.
Although the scale is not large, enough weapons and armor have been collected from Tucheng, as well as a few horses and food, and it is time to organize a formal army.
Liu Mang ordered the team to be stationed in Baihuan's lair for a few days, first, to let Cheng Yanjin and the other injured brothers recover, and secondly, to take the opportunity to restrain the team, and at the same time to prepare for going to Youzhou.
Fu Youde was the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Mang relieved himself to hand over the matter of organizing the team.
Fu Youde did not refuse, but only proposed that he should have the right to live and die.
Although Liu Mang has never led soldiers, he also understands that leading soldiers is different from leading a younger brother in the community. Without strict discipline, there is no way to bring out qualified soldiers.
It's just that more than 70 people have just been gathered, and Liu Mang tactfully reminded Fu Youde: If you can be punished, try not to kill; If you can kill less, don't kill more!
……
After Bai Huan's death, the materials in the lair were looted, and in addition to the scattered things, there were also some heavy objects that were difficult to carry.
These things are bulky and not worth a few dollars, but they are still useful for the people of Juxian Valley who live in poverty.
Liu Mang ordered people to move all these prices to Juxian Valley and give them to the people.
When Hua Orion heard that Liu Mang and others were leaving, he specially caught some game and sent it to the labor army.
Liu Mang took out some money and wanted to give it to the flower hunter, but Lao Hua insisted on refusing.
Liu Mang was not reluctant, tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, and wrote the words "Don't forget, Liu Mang".
The writing is coarse and sloppy, but it represents Liu Mang's gratitude.
"Old flower, you take this cloth. Whenever you or your family take this token to me, whatever help, I Liu Mang will help you! ”
For Cheng Yanjin, Hua Orion is his savior. Lao Cheng was also moved, and took a knife to cut off a lock of red beard. "Lao Hua, Lao Cheng has nothing to send you, this beard is Lao Cheng's life, if you are in trouble, Lao Cheng will give up his life to help you!"
Flower Orion burst into tears.
was originally a person who was kidnapped and kidnapped, but he was sentenced to life and death friends. If it weren't for the old mother and children, Hua Orion really had the urge to follow Liu Mang and others out of Taihang Mountain.
……
The wounded have healed, only Cheng Yanjin's wounds still need to be slowly recovered.
Under Fu Youde's discipline, his subordinate brothers have a lot of rules.
It's time to go.
The mountain road is rugged, and it is impossible for more than 70 people to go together, so it is convenient to set off in batches, and it is also possible to test the results of the whole bundle of military discipline.
Cheng Yanjin insisted on taking the first team first. Lao Cheng is familiar with Taihang Mountain, and his body has recovered almost.
Liu Mang agreed that he would bring twenty people to open the way as a pioneer. At the same time, Fu Youde was ordered to take twenty people to the queen of the palace, thinking that he should respond. Liu Mang and Wu used Yanqing to move from time to time, taking the remaining thirty or so in the center, leading the horses, and consigning necessary things such as grain and grass.
……
From Bingzhou Shangdang to Youzhou, there are two ways to choose.
One road is to the north, from Yanmen County to the east, through the Flying Fox in the Taihang Eight Mountains between Guangchang County (now Laiyuan) and Youzhou Dai County (now Wei County) in Jizhou, and enter the hinterland of Youzhou.
The road is mountainous and farther, but relatively safe.
The other way is to re-take Jingcheng and enter Jizhou according to the route taken by Liu Mang and others when they fled from Jizhou. Passing through the Changshan Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom under the rule of Jizhou, and entering Youzhou.
This road is close, but it is no problem for others to cross the northwest of Jizhou, but for Liu Mang, who "committed a crime", of course, there is more danger.
"Go to the well!"
When he fled Jizhou, there were only a few people around him. Now there are more than 70 people under his command, and there are also new fierce generals like Fu Youde Cheng Biting Jin, Liu Mang is of course more confident.
It has been two months since he left home, this is the first time he has been away from home for a long time, and he has never felt homesick, so Liu Mang made a choice without hesitation.
He wanted to drop by and have a look.
……
Out of Jingcheng Canyon, the team regrouped.
Jingcheng, the place where the thoroughfare is to be rushed, but there are no soldiers to guard it, Fu Youde shook his head again and again, and kept sighing.
Liu Mang saw Fu Youde so emotional, so he asked him if he had been to Jingcheng.
Fu Youde shook his head and said to Liu Mang: "Young master, let's rest here for a while, okay?" ”
It was not the time to camp and rest, but since Fu Youde had this request, Liu Mang immediately agreed.
The small group did not have the baggage needed to set up camp, but just sat down to rest, set up a stove, boiled water and cooked rice to satisfy hunger.
But Fu Youde still arranged the scouts and sentry posts very seriously, so he called Liu Mang and went to the river in front of him to have a look.
When he heard that he was going to the river, Wu Yong also got up and wanted to go with him. Yan Qing always thought about the safety of the young master Liu Mang, and also went with him.
The rivers and tidal flats, Liu Mang really can't see anything surprising.
However, Fu Youde and Wu Yong had serious expressions, as if they were not an ordinary river beach in front of them, but a sacred place. Although they did not bow down, their faces were full of piety.
In front of his brothers, Liu Mang never pretended to be X, and if he didn't understand, he asked directly.
Fu Youde is a fierce general and straightforward. Wu Yong is knowledgeable and tireless, not "tireless" like Cheng Biting Jin teaching Liu Mang to practice kung fu.
Liu Mang asked frankly, and the two did not feel that Liu Mang was ignorant at all, but felt that Liu Mang was sincere.
The two told Liu Mang that this place is not an ordinary place, in a sense, it is indeed a holy place for soldiers and generals!
"So amazing?" Liu Mang was even more puzzled.
Wu Yong explained: "Yes, this is the place where the Marquis of Huaiyin fought against the water. ”
Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin?!
Liu Mang was shocked.
Although he was not knowledgeable in history in his previous life, he also lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty for a few years, how could Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, not know.
Han Xin was one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty under Gaozu Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, first the king of Qi, then the king of Chu, and was demoted to the marquis of Huaiyin, and was later killed.
In the Western Han Dynasty, Han Xin was accused of rebellion, and the world avoided talking about him. However, the Eastern Han Dynasty has been separated from the Western Han Dynasty for a long time, and there is a gap between Wang Mang's chaotic government, and the world gradually no longer shy away from talking about Han Xin, and his evaluation tends to be objective. It's just that people in the world rarely call him a king, and they are used to calling him "Marquis of Huaiyin".
Although Liu Mang lacked knowledge, he had never read the war book. But Han Xin's allusion to arranging the formation with less and winning more with less still knows.
Liu Mang and Fu Youde Wu fought with their backs, and their faces were generally respectful, but the thoughts in the hearts of the three of them were different.
Fu Youde sighed: "The Marquis of Huaiyin has no way to make a soldier, he uses soldiers like a god, and he dares to put them to death and live later, and he is a true god!" ”
Wu Yong also sighed: "The Marquis of Huaiyin is famous for future generations, and many people in later generations have followed suit, but they have all failed miserably, all because they are painted by cats and tigers, and they are not familiar with the way of soldiers!" ”
Liu Mang didn't say anything, but he was excited in his heart: we must hurry up and get the system through the customs! Sooner or later, summon Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin!
