Chapter Eighty-Six: Dumbfounded

Honor is very calm, and the code word will not inexplicably set up some plots that conflict with the style of the whole book for the sake of high ~ tide. Please also understand the honor, there will be blood and high ~ tide, but it will never come without any background and inexplicable strangeness.

Please give honor even a trace of trust and support, and you will not be disappointed.

The weather was sunny and breezy, and it was already cooking time, but there was no smoke curling.

The green wilderness shows no traces of human life, and only a few people can embrace the towering trees and the tall grass.

A group of black-clad soldiers walked slowly on the soft soil where they could see the grass roots, and the road was obviously newly repaired. Each of them had a bulging package on their back or waist, and the heavy package swayed and swayed as they walked.

This was already the sixteenth day that Lu Zhe was suddenly summoned to follow Tu Sui on his journey, and they set out from Neishi County, and continued to rush south along Weishui, passing through Ba County and Hanzhong County, and finally the final location was Nan County.

Tu Sui's summons came so suddenly and without warning that Lu Zhe didn't have time to make any preparations.

Before being summoned, Lu Zhe was going to ask if he could go back to Yangzhou County to say goodbye to his old friends in Yangzhou, but obviously there was no such opportunity.

In this era when thousands of miles apart may become a farewell, Lu Zhe actually felt very sad in his heart that he didn't say goodbye to Li Liang, Flails and others, and even more because he couldn't "abduct" Xiao He or deal with Liu Ji's follow-up. This is about to face the status quo of an unfamiliar environment again, and the faint loss makes him return to the taciturn when he first crossed over to Qin.

During the Qin period, most of the well-developed places were concentrated in the Guannai and the Central Plains, which had been a densely populated area since ancient times, and the farming system was also very perfect due to the construction of the old Qin people.

Compared to the above two areas, the further south you go, the more sparsely populated, most of the areas have not been artificially destroyed, and you can see towering trees everywhere that require several people to hug them.

Heavy rains in Guanzhong for a month led to severe flooding, which is rare in history, but it also created sufficient conditions for the march by water.

During the Weishui boat, you can often see debris drifting in the river, many of which are trees and broken fences and fences that have been washed away by the flood. The devastated villages on both sides of the river can also be seen from afar, as they clean up the debris and mud as the flood waters reced.

They boarded a boat from Weishui in Neishi County and traveled south for two days, disembarked at a place called Meiyang County, and walked all day to a place called Yixian County to collect grain. During this period, he joined the army of a school (5,000 men) before crossing the Weishui again to Wugong County on the south bank, and repaired for a day before continuing the march south.

After entering the boundary of Hanzhong County, people have the feeling of coming to a different world, which is the desolation of a mountain range, and the road of Kante is narrow.

The 6,000 army was finally repaired again on the sixteenth day, and after the camp, Lu Zhe asked only to know that Lu Dao had left the boundary of Guanzhong, and a mountain range in front of it was called Taiyi Mountain (Taibai Mountain), and it and many famous mountains were the biggest obstacles for Guanzhong to enter Shuzhong.

Lu Zhe looked at the misty mountains from a distance, and when his vision was closer, he saw a towering pass about two miles in front of the barracks.

"What's that?"

"Marquis of the Army, that's Shimen Pass."

Shimen Pass? Is there such a pass in Chinese history?

Lu Zhe thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, and thought that the so-called Shimen Pass was the Sword Gate Pass. He looked at the pass that was almost carved out by using the original style, and thought of Chen Cang who passed by a few days ago, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

In fact, it is not a pass, just the intersection of the plank road into Shuzhong, and the whole process should be called Bao Chuan Road, which is the main road to enter Shuzhong in Guanzhong. The allusion of "Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang" happened nearby.

Lu Zhe, who had just entered the Southern Xinjiang Army sequence, had not yet been assigned soldiers, and currently had only fifty personal soldiers under his command. Only two of these pro-soldiers were selected by themselves, twenty of them were warriors arranged by Xu Yang, and the rest were specially arranged by Zhao Gao.

The two people who followed behind Lu Zhe, one was called Su Qiao and the other was called Mengsan. Both of them are authentic Guanzhong people, and they are the people who were envied and hated by all kinds of people who got two pieces of gold that day.

Compared with the pro-soldiers arranged by the Xu and Zhao families, Lu Zhe is naturally closer to these two "own people" who have almost no special talents and empty brute strength. The reason why he has been depressed recently is that the Xu family and the Zhao family are pointing fingers at their own soldiers. Maybe the two of them were well-intentioned, but he really felt very depressed. Cause? Presumably the shadow of three consecutive recruitment failures......

"Let's go back."

Returning to his military tent, this was a completely different tent from the previous narrow and smelly tent, the tent of the military marquis was more than three or four times larger than the tent of the chief, and there was no longer only a straw mat in the tent, nor was it a ground where the dirt could be seen.

The military tent of the marquis is about three meters high, five meters long, and five meters wide, forming a square. Its interior is divided into two layers, the front and the back separated by tents, the front is the part where the long desk and office are placed, and the back is a rest place with wooden planks.

As a military marquis, he has many privileges, first of all, he no longer needs to build a military tent by himself, he has a personal soldier to deliver his meals, and someone stands guard even when he sleeps.

Not long after entering the inner tent, someone outside informed the commander that he had summoned him.

When Lu Zhe came to the somewhat excessive military tent of the Chinese Military University, many officers in the tent had already come. He didn't know the officers present, but he just exchanged greetings and then found a place to stand quietly.

However, speaking of which, these officers were all recruited from various places into the Southern Xinjiang Legion sequence, and their colleagues were not familiar with each other, so naturally there was no chaotic greeting and conversation. It's strange that I didn't see the second marshal Ren Huan, and I don't know if Lu Dao is still in Xianyang or has already set off for the south.

Tu Sui didn't let the officers wait long, and after he arrived, he didn't have any politeness, he just said "sit down", waiting for the officers to sit down according to their official positions and titles, he looked around and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow will make dinner at the end of the day, and set off at the end of the day." ”

The officers present looked at Tu Sui, but they couldn't tell anything from the commander's face.

"Strive to complete the plank road in half a month and rush to the Hanzhong County Government as soon as possible." Speaking of this, Tu Sui looked around at the officers again and smiled: "The military marquis can take over the soldiers in Hanzhong, and before you reach Nanjun, you can practice while walking." Be sure to build up your combat power when attacking Baiyue! ”

Many people, including Lu Zhe, smiled happily, they were all "light poles" who followed Tu Sui from Xianyang with their own soldiers, and heard that there were fully formed troops in Hanzhong County that could be commanded, how could they not be happy?

Tu Sui stopped his gaze on Lu Zhe and drank: "Doctor Lu Zhe!" ”

Lu Zhe, who didn't expect the commander to be named, was stunned for a moment, quickly stood up and walked to the middle of the big tent, raised his arms and saluted: "Job, here!" ”

Tu Sui said in a deep voice: "Doctor Hengzhan! ”

A military marquis, who was about 1.7 meters tall and looked a little thin, also walked to the middle of the big tent.

Tu Sui looked at the two of them with majestic eyes, and then said, "The rest of the people retreat!" ”

Lu Zhe and Heng Zhan ignored each other, showed friendly smiles to each other and said hello, and then looked at Tu Sui who was thinking about something again.

The commander of the Southern Xinjiang Army pondered for a while, and sighed unexpectedly: "Although the Southern Expeditionary Army claims to be 500,000, only 50,000 of them are the Great Qin Iron Army, and the remaining 450,000 cannot be called an army at all. ”

Lu Zhe, who was standing in the middle of the big tent, didn't understand what was wrong with Tu Sui, as the commander of an army of 500,000, even if the 450,000 from the six countries were a rabble, it was also an army, how could he sigh?

Tu Sui said: "Of the 450,000, only 70,000 are young and strong, and the rest are women, children, old and weak. ”

“!!!”

Hearing that there were women and children, the old and weak, Lu Zhe was stunned, he opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything. After all, this is Tu Sui, but he can't say anything to worship his brother Xu Yang.

Heng Zhan next to him was a little breathless, and hesitated: "How can this be?" ”

Tu Sui's eyes regained sharpness, and he stared at Heng Zhan as if he was warning, and then said: "The old man knows that both of you have the ability to train soldiers, so you don't need to stay after you arrive in Hanzhong County, and you and I will rush to Nanjun as soon as possible." Before launching an offensive under His Majesty, the seventy or eighty thousand young men must be trained into an army, otherwise they will ......"

It's like "Wow!" The so-called 500,000 army, except for the 50,000 reorganized Qin army, only 70,000 or 80,000 qualified soldiers remained, and the rest were all women, children, old and weak???

…… What's the situation!?
