To get to Bozhou, the path is not the same as going to Kaifeng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In particular, to outflank the thieves and revolutionize, Zhao Yu's army first arrived in Baoding, then looked southeast, and on the third day, they arrived at Hejian Mansion.
In the past few days of rapid marching, except for Zhao Yu, few of the 50,000 troops can not change their faces. We're tired.
So he found a place outside Hejian Mansion, set up camp, rested for a day, and set off at night before heading south to Shandong.
Another four days, through Jinan Mansion, to Yanzhou Mansion.
Zhao Yu made proper arrangements, and as soon as he arrived on the seventh day, the army rations were about to run out, and it happened to be near Ningyang, Yanzhou Prefecture.
He set up camp and ordered Yang He to take people and go to Ningyang to get seven days of dry food, which went smoothly.
Zhao Yu had to applaud the prince's preparation.
As long as he wants, he can get food and salary in any county-level place. It can be seen that the prince's vision is far-reaching, and Zhao Gongming's arrangement is thoughtful.
I'm afraid that many years ago, the crown prince foresaw the current situation.
It is precisely by borrowing his identity as the eldest son of the emperor and the prince that he can do all this. Otherwise, if you change someone, even if you have ten or twenty years, you may not have this family business.
Of course, it is not always possible to do it just by identity. The prince is eloquent, Zhao Gongming is capable, and the two phases are one, which is the right reason.
Moreover, the dry food prepared by the prince for the army was different from ordinary dry food. Ordinary military dry food, if made of grains, is actually superior. However, in these years, most of the dry food in the army was made of bran, which was difficult to eat at all, and it was impossible to fill the stomach.
The dry food prepared by the prince is not only full of grains, but also mixed with meat floss. Whether you eat it dry or soak it in water, it tastes pretty good.
At least in this regard, not a single person in the army complained.
On this march, Zhao Yu confirmed the truth of the military book in practice, and at the same time, he never relaxed the training of the army. While marching rapidly, while training.
Marching noiser, ten lashes. Fifty lashes for those who disturb the people. Those who harm the people will pay for their lives.
He also observed the ability of the middle and low-ranking officers in the army, and those who did not respect military discipline were either killed, or swept to the end, and those who were able to do so. Promoting the capable and eliminating the incompetent not only strengthened Zhao Yu's control over the army, but also made a qualitative change in the temperament of the army.
In this way, the rewards and punishments are clear, and in just seven days, this army has gradually taken on a different appearance.
The military order was issued, and it was as urgent as wind and fire.
This army has the appearance of a war machine that can work as it wishes.
Repair in Ningyang for a day, and set off again at night.
Zhao Yu rode the horse to the middle army, Yang He followed aside, and his own soldier Zhang led the guard on the other side.
Yang He's face was thinner, but his spirit was as high as high. A pair of eyes, with their own essence and occasionally flickering.
He looked at the long army that was not in front of him and behind him, and sighed: "If you can stay in Fengyang Mansion, this army will be very different. ā
Said: "The general's methods are really extraordinary." ā
Zhao Yu shook his head with a smile: "Where is my ordinary means? It's just that the world is chaotic and the world is cold." It's just that the rewards and punishments are clear, and it's not difficult to do. ā
Yang He shook his head: "It's difficult, it's difficult." General look, these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the army everywhere, I don't know how many. How many generals can do it? People are greedy, just like that. ā
Zhao Yu was silent for a moment, and said excitedly: "When the prince ascends the throne, the demonic atmosphere will naturally be swept away." ā
Yang and the head of the jaw said yes.
That night, the army left Yanzhou Mansion and arrived in Xuzhou at dawn.
This army must have been more than a step stronger than it had been seven or eight days ago. One can be full. Although it is dry food, it is sufficient, and the five grains are mixed with meat floss. Coupled with the rapid marching and training, many soldiers with yellow skin and thin skin finally had a touch of blood on their faces and were more energetic.
At least the strength is much more abundant than ever.
Second, in terms of military discipline, he was finally able to reluctantly enforce the order and prohibition.
After all, Zhao Yu has a prestige, and the soldiers are willing to listen to him. And the supply of dry food is sufficient, and the food is good, which makes the soldiers more recognized.
Therefore, in the performance of military discipline, it has roughly met the requirements of a real army.
After another seven days, this army finally had the appearance of elite soldiers.
Originally, these 50,000 troops came from different commanders in Liaodong. But it is not the old and weak, except for the standard battalions of the general army, these are the backbone. Basic military skills are qualified.
As long as the discipline of the generals, diet, rewards and punishments are in place, they will naturally be able to form an elite army.
The so-called will be a nest of bears, and it will be the courage of soldiers.
Zhao Yu is fierce, fair and just, and acts resolutely. To be honest, these soldiers felt that following Zhao Yu was safe and promising.
The combination of various factors has led to such changes.
Fengyang Mansion, arrived.
Fengyang is the hometown of Taizu, known as the central capital.
In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the thief broke Fengyang and dug up the tomb of Emperor Taizu, such evil deeds are really outrageous.
Now six years have passed, and the imperial mausoleum has been rebuilt, but it is no longer the same.
Zhao Yu led an army of 50,000 into Fengyang and set up camp outside Huaiyuan. Huaiyuan is in the north of Fengyang, but it is only a few dozen miles away. Zhao Yu didn't plan to go to Fengyang, what he was aiming at was Shouzhou and Huoqiu.
The five battalions of the left of the revolution, the old Hui Ma Shouying, the Ge Li eye He Yilong, the left Jin Wang He Jin, the king of the world Lin Yangcheng, and the reincarnation king Liu Xiyao, these five thieves are active in this area.
Among them, Huoqiu is the stronghold of these thieves, and Shouzhou is also under their control.
In fact, whether it is Huaiyuan or Fengyang, they are all under the watchful eye of these thieves, trembling.
Now the general soldier of Fengyang is Huang Degong, and Wang Xian, the chief soldier of Sizhou, guards the imperial mausoleum. Zhao Yu didn't plan to meet these two general soldiers either. In Zhao Yu's eyes, the local general army is even more eye-catching than the general army of the towns in eastern Liaodong.
In a word, I can't look down on them.
The so-called killing of good and risking merit is most prevalent in the local army. Liaodong is even better. Why? Because the enemy of the towns in Liaodong is the Tartars. It is risky to kill good people and take credit, and it is easy to be recognized.
However, the local armies in the Central Plains do not have these concerns. Because the thieves are transformed from peasants who can't survive. Whenever the army in these places could not defeat them, or failed to catch up with the thieves, as long as they saw the village, they would kill them first, take the heads, and lie about the military exploits.
These people are even more hateful.
Daming has fallen to this point now, and they have a share of the credit.
The so-called soldiers are like combs, and they are talking about them.
Just outside Huaiyuan, in the big camp, Zhao Yu gathered all the generals and officials.
He sat on the top, and on his right hand was Yang He. The rest of the generals are listed in order.
Zhao Yu unfolded the map, hung it in front of him, pointed to Shouzhou and Huoqiu on the map, and then pointed to Bozhou in the north, and said: "The Gezuo thieves are in the area of Huoqiu, and their Shouzhou is also within their control." Look at Bozhou again. Our army went south, and the thieves had already gone east from Henan, and I don't know if Bozhou had fallen at this time. ā
"In any case, whether Bozhou falls or not, the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution is the first target of this general. ā
Zhao Yu first clarified the goal before he said: "The army will be repaired for a day and will be pulled out at night." Divided into five parts, all starting from Huaiyuan, from north to south, fast or slow, be sure to surround Huoqiu before dawn. ā
Next, Zhao Yu made detailed arrangements: "I will lead 10,000 Chinese troops and go straight to Shouzhou." The remaining four generals, both north and south, each no more than 20 miles apart, crossed Shouzhou, and went straight to Huoqiu. ā
Speaking of this, Zhao Yu's eyes were murderous: "Be sure to obey the order, if you dare to disobey the military order, you will be killed!"
The generals under the tent were awe-inspiring when they boarded, and they all stood up, clasped their fists and shouted: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the generals!"
Zhao Yu waved his hand to let the generals sit down, and then said to Yang He with a sideways face: "Can the staff officer have anything to add?"
Yang He said: "There are two points. ā
"First, do you want to inform Huang Degong, the chief soldier of Fengyang, and Wang Xian, the chief soldier of Sizhou?"
"Second, the thieves of the fifth battalion of Gezuo, although they control Shouzhou and Huoqiu, Huoqiu is still their base camp. However, Dabie Mountain is on the side, so you must be careful not to escape into Dabie Mountain. ā
After that, he kept silent.
Zhao Yu bowed slightly: "Don't tell Huang Degong and Wang Xian." I can't look at these characters. ā
This statement is outrageous and unabashed.
Yang He couldn't help but smile slightly.
He couldn't look at it either.
"As for Dabie Mountain, this is indeed a trouble. It was I who ordered the army to march overnight and besiege Huoqiu. Zhao Yu said: "As for if you can't catch them all, there are people who have fled into Dabie Mountain, and I have my own way to deal with them." ā
A cold light flashed in his eyes: "Those thieves think that if they escape into the mountains and forests, they can sit back and relax." But I didn't know that I, Zhao Yu, had lived in the mountains for ten years. I only need one person and one iron cone to kill them all!"
When Yang He heard this, he bowed slightly: "The general is thoughtful. ā
First, it should be properly arranged, military orders should be issued one by one, and the soldiers of each department should not mention the time for repair.
Just in the evening, Zhao Yu was in the tent, and suddenly a personal soldier came to report, only to say that Huang Degong, the chief soldier of Fengyang, had come.
Zhao Yu couldn't help but be stunned, thinking about why did this Huang Degong take the initiative to come?
But it was not easy to turn away, and said, "Please ask Mr. Huang to come in." ā
But for a moment, Zhao Yu heard a commotion outside the tent, couldn't help frowning, got up a few steps, opened the tent door, and saw a general with a hundred and ten personal soldiers, not far from the tent.
If you have your own soldiers, you will stop them, and you will probably have to fight.
Zhao Yu frowned and shouted, "What's the noise!"
He stepped forward in a few steps.
Huang Degong is a strong person, but he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his expression is unruly, looking at Zhao Yu's gaze, which is quite playful and condescending.
He is the chief soldier, and Zhao Yu is just a general. Even if Zhao Yu now has an army of 50,000 under his command, which is more than him, he still has a sense of superiority.
Huang Degong saw Zhao Yu come out, and after a little look at his dress, he knew that this must be the Liaodong God of War that is widely spread among the people.
But he pouted: "General Zhao is really not small." ā
When Zhao Yu heard this, his eyes narrowed: "Mr. Huang?"
"It's Ben. Huang Degong smiled: "I am the chief soldier, and you are the general." When I came to see you, you didn't go out of the camp to greet you, but you still had to hand over my own soldiers and ordnance?
Zhao Yu laughed, suddenly smiled, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "General Huang guards Fengyang, and he has a great responsibility, so he dares to leave Fengyang without permission, according to the law of Da Ming, what kind of sin is this?"
Huang Degong was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Yu carefully: "Hey, you green-headed boy, do you still have this scheming?
Zhao Yu didn't say a word, stepped out two feet in one step, came to Huang Degong in the blink of an eye, pinched his neck, and then stared at Huang Degong's eyes: "I want to kill you like killing a chicken." Don't you think you're even more powerful than Huang Taiji?"
Throwing Huang Degong on the ground, he shouted: "I came to kill thieves, like you and such oily soldiers, don't want to disturb me." If you dare to disturb me, you will hide to the ends of the earth, I will kill you, and you will not be able to escape. ā
Kicking on the ground, the boom was like an earthquake, and it collapsed.
Huang Degong's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
