This is the so-called Southern Xinjiang Army?
The so-called 500,000 troops who were transferred from Guanzhong to the south, and then the 450,000 so-called six-nation integrated army, only 70,000 or 80,000 young adults who could be trained to become soldiers? Is it that such a person wants to attack Lingnan, which is about the same size as the territory of Great Qin?
If this was a joke, Lu Zhe wanted to roar: "This is not fucking funny at all!" ”
Lu Zhe, who was arranged by Tu Sui, the commander of southern Xinjiang, to train his troops and Heng Zhan looked at each other for a long time, they couldn't understand what was going on, and Tu Sui certainly wouldn't explain it.
After a long time, after digesting the shock caused by the news, Lu Zhe asked a key question: "...... handsome"
Tu Sui interrupted: "What handsome!?" When will Daqin have the official position of Dashuai! ”
"......" Isn't there such a title as handsome these years? What should it be called? Lu Zhe simply asked directly: "It's not a big problem to train soldiers, but ...... Do you have the appropriate supplies ready? ”
Tu Sui's face became even more ugly: "The number of weapons and quilts is still insufficient, in addition to supplying 50,000 elites, there are still some left." Grain and grass are given priority to the supply of elites, and others also need to wait for the completion of the spiritual canal to be supplied smoothly. ”
Heng Zhan was a little stunned and asked: "The weapons, grain and grass are not enough, how can you train 80,000 young people into an army?" ”
Lu Zhe now almost wants to scold "fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck". This is the so-called Southern Xinjiang Army? Is the center of the collective brain caught by the door, and the lack of weapons and clothing can still be solved, but the food and grass are not prepared......
An army without food and grass is worse than without military machinery, without equipment, the soldiers are at most complaining, without food, it is 100% either to break up or mutiny, let alone drive the soldiers to fight the Nanban, they did not go crazy and kill the commander.
Wait a minute! Lu Zhe seemed to think of the most critical question, there were seventy or eighty thousand young adults among the 450,000 people, which seemed to be nothing, but how could there be women and children!? He immediately asked this doubt.
Tu Sui smiled bitterly for a long time, as if he had encountered some unspeakable reason, and waved his hand: "Okay, don't ask so many questions." Take my token and get ready, and head to Nanjun now. ”
The commander doesn't say it, and the subordinates can't chase after him, but Lu Zhe doesn't think that sending such an "army" that is even inferior to the old and weak soldiers is not like they are going to attack southern Xinjiang at all, but more like going to die!
With a somewhat ugly face, he returned to the garrison and asked his soldiers to pack up the tents and corresponding supplies, and Lu Zhe quickly met Heng Zhan in front of the barracks. He was a little surprised when he saw that Heng Zhan only had a dozen or so personal soldiers, but that was Heng Zhan's own business, so he didn't ask too much.
Heng Zhan, who is about 1.7 meters tall, is actually a relatively short category among the Qin army, which is more than 1.8 meters tall, and his figure seems to be too thin. I don't know what kind of background Lu Dao has, but since Tu Sui said that he knows how to train soldiers, he should have a very good family background.
Traveling overnight is not a good choice, especially when the road is full of cliff boardwalks.
When carrying torches into the so-called Shimen Pass, the garrison guarding the pass checked the tokens before letting them go.
These officers and non-commissioned officers at the gate wondered how anyone could choose to travel overnight during this stretch of the journey. The way they looked at Lu Zhe and the others entering the plank road was very peculiar, as if they were admiring and sympathetic, but in fact, this kind of gaze was more like looking at a group of people looking for death.
Lu Zhe, who has always been insecure, is more vigilant, of course he found the strange gaze of the defenders, and walked a short distance into the plank road, and stopped immediately when he found that the road was getting narrower and narrower.
Heng Zhan saw him stop and approach, and then asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Zhe, who looked thoughtful, pointed to the three carriages behind him, and before he could speak, Heng Zhan on the other side had already reacted.
"That's right! The war party was still wondering how Lu Junhou could tie the supplies to the war horse instead of using a carriage with more loads. Laughing cheerfully, Heng Zhan patted his forehead: "The war horse is naturally docile and will not move after training, but the plank road is narrow but cannot be driven." ”
This surprised Lu Zhe, and he suddenly felt that it would be easier to train with this guy. At least he just reminded Heng Zhan to react immediately, according to this tacit understanding, it should look good?
What does the slope look like because it is too dark to see the surrounding scenery clearly, so Lu Zhe has no way to describe it. However, walking on a tunnel-like path was not as dangerous as it had been rumored, and it seemed that the only thing to endure was the fierce winds.
It was dark and there was no time to keep the time without a comparator, and the group of people didn't know how long they had been walking. However, the grease of the torch was changed once, but unfortunately no one paid attention to whether the torch had burned before, otherwise the time could be estimated.
It wasn't until the person exploring the path in front shouted something, but the wind was too strong to hear clearly, and Lu Zhe got closer to find that the excavated road had come to an end, and the walkway was made of wooden planks.
The light emitted by the torch in the wind is really a little weak, and he can't really see what is going on three meters away, so Lu Zhe can only observe the wooden plank road of about two meters, and this look finds that although the wood built has traces of being trampled on for many years, it is hardwood, not some aging loose material.
Heng Zhan watched the young colleague inspect the plank road from the side, touched his chin and thought, "Looking young, you look very steady?" ”
After checking a distance forward, in fact, Lu Zhe was not quite sure if there was a problem with the war horse, and then he recalled that the garrison guarding the pass did not even stop the carriage, and it was impossible to judge from the actions of the garrison whether someone was leading the war horse across the plank road.
After thinking about it, just in case, he still ordered each of his personal soldiers to take valuables and three days' worth of dry food and water from their horses.
Heng Zhan saw that although he was puzzled, he also did it, until they walked a distance further, the plank road became narrower and narrower, and the wind became stronger and stronger, and there was a war horse that fell off the cliff for some reason, but fortunately, the soldier who led the horse let go of the reins in time and was not pulled down, and he finally understood what Lu Zhe's actions were just now.
The plank road was already narrow, and when the first war horse lost control and fell off the cliff, everyone was even more nervous.
Perhaps because he was too nervous, not long after the second war horse stumbled and fell into the deep ditch, one of Lu Zhe's personal soldiers also stumbled and fell, and the terrible scream made people feel furious.
And that was not the last person to fall, nine people stayed on the cliff under the plank road forever. And this is only the loss of people, and there are as many as twenty-one war horses that have fallen off the cliff!
They don't expect to be lonely? As long as there are people walking on this plank road, accidents will always happen from time to time, whether they want to or not.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day, when a group of people who had carefully walked the plank path stepped on the solid ground, that they put the hearts they had lifted back into their stomachs.
One by one, they walked out of the plank road not cheering, but sitting on the ground with a pale-faced expression.
Lu Zhe, whose face was a little pale due to high mental tension, looked at the rugged plank road, and his heart was both lucky and afraid: "In the future, whoever lets Lao Tzu walk this plank road overnight, Lao Tzu will kill his whole family!" ”
