Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 267 The Army Gathers Shuofang

The sky was full of snow again.Early in the morning, Liu San, the fire leader of Zhechong Mansion in Jinyuan, called his brother Yihuo, and prepared to collect snow and boil water for cooking.

Since the head of the Dingxiang Road march came to Taiyuan with some of the main forces of the left and right Weiwei, as well as the sergeants recruited from various Zhechong prefectures along the way, they, the firehead army, have suffered a great crime.In the past, whether it was food or drinking water, you could get it quite easily, but now you have to fight with a bunch of people.

Although the ration of food is the concern of the generals, but these fire-leading troops have to be carried by people.After three or five days, I'm really tired of it.

The problem of drinking water is also a grinding thing.There is only one well where the army is stationed, and there are dozens of Zhechong Mansions under the account of the general manager, and all those who fetch water will be robbed.No, at this time this morning, I am afraid that the wellhead is already full of people.If he still foolishly went to fetch water, he might not be able to prepare dinner until noon.

Even if there is heavy snow, it can be boiled for people to drink. Although it is a bit troublesome to collect snow in the pot, it is a convenient method anyway.Only those soldiers who were stationed in Shuofang could understand this method, and Liu San didn't tell him about it.

If you don't go to Shuofang, you don't know the bitterness.There are often such words in the army to tell new soldiers how good life is in the interior.

It was cold in the north, and Luo Yan only felt the cold in Youzhou, but because of Wang Junkuo's incident, he was sent to Jinzhou.So this so-called bitter cold was also the first time for Luo Yan.Now that he set foot on this cold land again, Luo Yan's small body really couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, the army is assembled now, but the battle has not yet officially started, so there is no need to put on that cold armor.Otherwise, with the little charcoal fire in the tent, it is estimated that I will be frozen to death before I can sleep in the middle of the night.

Just now, Li Jing issued an order to all the generals to go to the big tent to discuss matters.Luo Yan hurriedly put on the cloak, and entered the tent in just a cup of tea.

At this moment, the account is already full of generals.Not to mention, along the road, a total of 23 troops from Zhechong Prefecture have been gathered, and now nearly 3 people have been stationed in Taiyuan.The 23 captains in the tent plus the generals of the left and right guards, as well as the generals drawn by Li Jing, there are almost forty people.

Luo Yan is the youngest among the forty people, but his status is no worse than others.On the contrary, the general of the Twelve Guards was of the same rank as the captain of Zhongzhe Chongfu.Along the way, everyone in the tent has also seen Luo Yan show off his abilities, so they didn't underestimate him because of his age.

Seeing Luo Yan's income, the generals who were still chatting also greeted each other.Before discussing matters, there is still some freedom.

After greeting these people one by one, Luo Yan walked to his seat

"Upgrade the account." Li Jing gave a serious order, which means that all the personnel have expired at this time, and it is time to discuss the business.

All the generals under the seat stopped the clamor just now, stood up together, and bowed to the position of the general: "Greetings, Commander."

"Sit." As soon as the words fell, there was only a "wow", and the more than 40 people in the tent sat down in unison, staring at Li Jing, waiting for the general to give orders.

"According to reports from scouts, there has been heavy snowfall in Turkic recently, and the loss of cattle and sheep is useless for each tribe. The nobles of Turkic tribes used this to put pressure on Jieli, and now they have started disputes. Xue Yantuo and Tiele tribes heard that I sent troops from the Tang Dynasty , seems to have the meaning of taking advantage of the fire."

The voice of Li Jing announcing the news was very calm, without any joy.But the generals couldn't help laughing when they heard it.

"God bless me, Tang Dynasty, to reduce the Turkic forces in this way. If we take advantage of the civil strife and suppress all the troops, we will surely be able to do our best in one battle."

"Yes, this kind of opportunity is rare once in several years. It would be a pity if we let it go."

Can't hold back the excitement in your heart, the generals laughed and asked for a fight.In their eyes, the Turks at this time have become meat on the cutting board.Think about the places where I have been stationed over the years have been repeatedly harassed by Turks, and now that the big revenge can be avenged, how can I not be excited.

"Okay, okay, I understand your eagerness to fight. But don't forget our situation. Now I'm still waiting in Taiyuan, and from Taiyuan to the Yinshan Mountain, the journey is at least half a month. Just now , I also received a letter from Xu Shiji, the general manager of the Tongmo Road March, saying that the army he led was still six days away from Youzhou. King Ren Cheng and Huo Guogong had not yet arrived at the scheduled location. We will attack rashly, it is difficult It will inevitably become a lone army. At this time, we will put it aside for the time being."

With a wave of his hand, several reasons made it impossible for the generals to refute.After everyone quieted down, Li Jing said again: "However, before that, I don't have nothing to do."

Just now when they heard that Li Jing was not planning to send troops immediately, everyone lost their spirits.Although Li Jing said so at the moment, he still couldn't arouse everyone's interest.

Seeing the reluctance of all the generals in the tent, Li Jing shouted: "There are some Turkic tribes, taking advantage of the civil strife in the country, Jieli is unable to control them, and the weather changes drastically, they come to our border to plunder from time to time. Before benefiting, we must wipe out all the Turkic looting teams in our Tang Dynasty, and restore peace to the people on the border. The generals obey the order."

"Xingzheng, Fuhua...Wuquan, wait for five Zhechong mansions, leave Taiyuan and go northwest, if you encounter Turkic cavalry, you can fight without declaring it. Fenyang, Xinren...Jinxi, wait for six Zhechong mansions, and leave Taiyuan Go northeast. Baima, Fengchuan... You wait for the seven Zhechong prefectures to go out of Taiyuan to the north. The rest of the prefectures follow me. Remember, after ten days, you must gather in Shuo County. If there is any delay, you will be dealt with by military law."

I heard that although you can't fight the Turks in a big way, you can clean up the little ones in the territory. The generals are also very happy.At this time in the past, everyone was recuperating in their respective residences, but now they are recruited here, but they have not fought for so many days.Originally, everyone came here cheerfully to make contributions, but after so many days of starvation and cold, there was no sign of any contribution.Let these generals explain to their soldiers.

This is just great.Although the size of those looting teams is not necessarily large, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and even a small amount of credit is not a reward.

"I would like to obey Jun's order." In an instant, the big tent was shattered, and it was sent to the boundless sky.

As a member who didn't get the chance to lead the army alone, Luo Yan was actually very upset in his heart.The brothers under him have been exercising unremittingly every day during this time, in order to be able to get a lottery when the army goes out.Although now the jackpot is to clean up some young people, who knows that he has not even won the opportunity.

With a look of helplessness on his face, Luo Yan returned to his tent.

As soon as the front foot stepped in, three voices came from outside the rear tent: "The last general Zhou Hu, Chen Biao, and Yang Bao pay a visit to the general."

No matter what he said, just as he was thinking that he would be buried by these brothers under his command, the three captains came over.During this period of time, Luo Yan and the thousand people under him were already fighting fiercely.After all, the army is a place where failure speaks for itself. I have seen Luo Yan's bow and horse force, and even led them to sweep the face of the twelve guards.These guys now regard Luo Yan as a god.

Of course, Luo Yan in real life is not as strict as in practice, so the relationship with each other is very good.

The problems that other Zhechong mansions have, Luo Yan also has problems here.Especially with his eagerness to fight, Luo Yan's place is like a disaster.Everyone was determined to win glory for Li Shimin, but it was almost a month since they came out of Chang'an, and they didn't even see the hair of a Turkic person.The blood stains on the arrows were mostly from the prey that Luo Yan sent them out to hunt.

Luo Yan naturally knew why the three of them came, but the general didn't say anything, what could he do.

"Come in." Feeling helpless, Luo Yan couldn't let them wait outside the tent for a long time.It was just a moment of thought, and the three of them were called in.

"General, the people from the Zhechong Mansion set out, I'll wait..."

"Is it going to officially start a war with the Turks..."

"Where do we fight..."

Before Luo Yan could open his mouth, the mouths of the three of them seemed to have just been loosened.

"Stop, we won't fight anywhere, just follow the commander obediently." Luo Yan quickly stopped the chatter of these three people, and told them the final result.It's just that I didn't expect that more violent questions were ushered in.

"why?"

"Did you underestimate our combat power?"

"I want to find the handsome man!"

What the three of them said made Luo Yan's complexion darker and darker.Damn, Li Er was used to it.Although it is said that crying children have milk, but this is the army, and the current boss is Li Jing.You still want to find him, don't be beaten out by his messengers.

"Do you still have me as a general in your eyes? Mother, do you think the commander-in-chief's order is a child's play, allowing you to change it casually. Besides, what is there to fight with those stragglers? The real battle is in the Later." Up to now, Luo Yan could only suppress it with a tough attitude.

After cursing a few words, seeing that the three of them were silent, Luo Yan calmed down and said, "You have been in Chang'an for a long time, and you won't be able to adapt to the climate here for a while. Just now the commander also said that there was heavy snowfall in Turkic territory. If we don’t try our best to adapt before the war begins, how can we surround the Turkic tooth tent and capture Na Jieli alive and present it to His Majesty.”

"General, I was reckless. It's just that I have been out of Chang'an for so long, and the brothers have been wasting. I'm afraid that the time will be too long and the morale will be low." Zhou Hu said hesitantly after listening to Luo Yan's reprimand.

Luo Yan thought about it, this is really a problem, if it is not solved in time, I am afraid that the combat power will drop a lot in the end.

"How about this, order the Huotou army to go to the place to buy a sheep. Eat meat in the afternoon, perform martial arts in the afternoon, and the winner will be rewarded." Now, the only way to suspend the complaints that may arise in the army at any time is through internal competition.

　When I woke up, it was snowing all over the country, and the trail here was no exception.Everyone fill in an extra pair, don't freeze into a dog like a trail.The second update will not be uploaded until eleven o'clock because of the reason for going back. I hope everyone will forgive me.Go to bed early, in such a cold winter, besides the quilt, only the wife is attractive.
