Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 43 Patrol ([-])

"Wei Cao was really tired of moving the big Sima, and every time he went on expeditions, he shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. The army's reward was not enough, and the family wealth class was given, and the soldiers were willing to use it."

"Liang Chun, a general of the Western Wei Dynasty, was persevering, and he was good at comforting and accepting.

"Shi Xiong is the prefect of Fengzhou, and he has very cheap money. Every time he breaks thieves and makes meritorious deeds, he is given by the imperial court. Think hard."

"Wang Xuanmo marched north for General Ning Shuo, and many soldiers were afraid of leaving. Yuan Mo also made profits, and he paid eight hundred money for one horse, so he lost people's hearts. When Wei Taiwu's army arrived, he rushed to retreat under his subordinates, and died a little. ."

"Li Yong was Jiedu in Heyang, and Yong Ben made his fortune as a city citizen, and he used bribes to get traffic, so he went to Fangzhen. He was the first Zhenwu Jiedu, but he was transferred to Heyang. When he arrived, he took the corruption and the disabled as his duty, and relied on what he did. Don't be afraid of the charter. The fruit presented at the banquet is painted with woodcuts. There is no end to the gathering, and people are unbearable, and then the chaos will end in a few months.

"It's a really good book!" In the middle of the night, Shao Shude closed a rough handwritten book and couldn't help but admire.The book was given to him by Chen Cheng.According to Chen's words, he is not interested in this, so it is better to dedicate it to Lieutenant General Shao, or to gain something.

It does pay off!The book is untitled, but it must have been written by someone from the dynasty.

After the mid-Tang Dynasty, the people liked to talk about military affairs, and various military books emerged one after another, but the quality was uneven after all.Chen Cheng has a vision. The military books he dedicated to him don't say anything about the quality. They mainly talk about the behavior of many generals since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Both good and bad are very valuable.

There are some things Shao Shude has been doing vaguely, and he doesn't know if he is right or not.Now the means of confirming the ancient famous generals, suddenly increased his confidence.There are some things that are not right that I didn't know before, but now I suddenly realize and even feel scared.

Managing an army, like leading an army to fight a war, is an esoteric subject. Of course, knowledge on the battlefield must be learned, and knowledge on the battlefield should not be neglected. Remember to remember.

He closed the wordless Heavenly Book—well, the Book of Unnamed Soldiers—and put it together with the "Ask Right" sent by Song Le. After locking it in the box, Shao Shude picked up the horizontal knife and took Yang Liang, who was temporarily serving as a personal soldier, a fireman. , out of the camp, began a routine inspection.

They are not in Daizhou city, but near Fanzhi County, eighty miles northeast of the city.The county is "surrounded by streams on three sides, extremely dangerous and solid", and is currently controlled by the Datong rebels, with more than 3000 soldiers and horses stationed there, it is their preparation base for going south.Dai Beixing used troops several times, but failed to win. This time Li Kan led the army to patrol the border, and wanted to take this opportunity to touch it.

The nearest camp of the Hedong Army is only more than ten miles away from Fanshi County, and it is closely along the Xituo River.In addition to the tens of thousands of troops dispatched from Jinyang, 3000 people from Zhongwu, Yicheng, and Heyang, and more than [-] people from Xin, Daizhen, and Tutuan Township were recruited in Daizhou. It can be said that it is a large-scale field group. No wonder Li Kan wants to touch important strongholds such as Fanzhi County, Dabao Garrison, and even Pingxingzhai, which have been controlled by the rebels for a long time.

According to the intelligence, Li Guochang had more than [-] soldiers arriving from Weizhou.Where it is currently located is unknown.After all, Li Kan was a man of festivals, and the generals in Hedong were also veterans of the military.As Li Kan's de facto pro-military, Tielin was at the commander's side, and his responsibilities were so important that Shao Shude dared not take it lightly.

Tie Lindu had a total of more than 1200 sergeants. Under Chen Cheng's suggestion, they were divided into three battalions according to the habits of the Zhaoyi Army, namely the front battalion, the rear battalion and the baggage battalion.

The front battalion is the most elite, with [-] soldiers, more than [-] pairs of iron armors, and one lance. Currently, Lu Huaizhong, who is the most capable of fighting, is in charge.

With five hundred soldiers in the rear battalion, Shao Shude thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to hand it over to Ren Yuji to manage.

Li Yanling was in charge of the cargo battalion as usual, which temporarily supplemented hundreds of Tutuan villagers from Xin and Dai Erzhou as auxiliary soldiers.As for the other hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers, Shao Shude personally captured them, and Chen Cheng helped them, barely holding up the shelf.

At this time, the [-] sergeants in the front battalion had already fallen asleep, and most of the rear battalion had also fallen asleep. Only some sergeants were on duty in the main battalion according to the principle of rotation.

Shao Shude, with dozens of personal soldiers, messengers, and patrols, carefully patrolled every corner of the defense zone.The night in May was as quiet as water. Wherever Shao Shude went, the sergeants stood tall and neat.

Sometimes he would stop and ask the sergeants a few words.

Being an officer and a general must be dignified, but it is also necessary to give proper respect to the soldiers, so that they can feel cared for and valued on the spiritual level. In addition, if they can be satisfied again in material terms, let them return to their hearts and work together. It's not that difficult.This is the art of manipulating people that Shao Shude learned from later generations, not from the military book. He thinks it is good and has been practicing it to this day.

There are other soldiers and horses in the camp of the Chinese Army, such as 3000 people from Zhongwu Town, Henan Province, and more than [-] people from the Du Coach Zhang Yanqiu Department from Hedong.They each have their own defense zone, Shao Shude can't control it, and he shouldn't control it.In addition to the camp of the Chinese army, there are other troops and horses, which line up for ten miles along the Qituo River.

"It's so fucking spectacular!" Shao Shude thought to himself, the [-]-strong army is so magnificent, what if it is [-] or [-]?The battalion is a few miles away, hehe, will the command be ineffective?Afraid that the front battalion was at war with the enemy, the rear battalion was still lighting a fire and cooking, so it was not in a hurry.How to schedule, how to fight, and how to cooperate are actually very particular.

These things should be the secrets of the general door, right?I really want to learn!

In addition, there is no suitable talent on hand.The chief generals of each battalion must have considerable quality, be familiar with the military, be experienced in battle formations, care for their soldiers well, and be able to watch the scenery.Alas, his level is not necessarily comparable to any of the current battalions, let alone those under his command.If you want to survive in this chaotic world, it is definitely not enough to rely on your own efforts. You have to cultivate other people, even at the expense of attracting talents from outside.

Otherwise, do you want to command such 2000 people for the rest of your life?

In the early morning of May 26, Li Kan called the generals to discuss matters.

There are tens of thousands of troops, and even if the battalion is so far away, it is not so simple to hold a "plenary meeting".The commander was not in the camp and was attacked by someone sneakily. If his deputy was not good enough and was defeated by the enemy, what should he do?Therefore, this kind of meeting must not be held regularly.Once it's open, make most of the strategies and execute them until a victory or a twist.

The commanders of the army came one after another with their own soldiers.Shao Shude led the soldiers of Tielindu to guard in front of the camp, and the personal soldiers were led aside to wait. The generals who were qualified to enter the account were only allowed to enter after handing over their equipment.

The generals were majestic, and everyone looked at Shao Shude carefully, as if they were very curious about Li Kan, who was from the guest army.However, most people didn't show obvious expressions of likes and dislikes, only the general He Gongya and the coach Zhang Yanqiu were different.The former snorted coldly, not knowing where Shao Shude had offended him, the latter was still kind and exchanged a few words.

When the time passed, the camp door was closed, and the tent began to be ordered. After Shao Shude arranged a set of affairs, he also entered the tent to observe.He felt that he was a little floating now. At least half of the famous generals in the Beihang Camp gathered here. As long as he gave an order, "Break the cup for the number", keep these people chopped into flesh.

Alas, it's floating, the level is not very high, and the tail is very high, so take it as a warning.

"...At the end of the late Wei Dynasty, Doulu wolves harmed the governor, Daye Mu'er, etc., and rebelled against the city. Li Xiannai, a man from the state, summoned heroes and said: "If the thief is in a hurry, he will punish the two generals. Although his power is strong, his ambition is already proud, but Its government orders are not enforced, but its business is cruelty. The husband uses the thieves of the brigade to guard against the mob, and the situation is from the side.' He led 300 people who dared to die, divided into two groups, and came out at night to make a noise, and the group of thieves was large Surprised, he was defeated in the first battle, so he chased and killed him." Shao Shude came in late, and he didn't hear what Li Kan said earlier, so he will listen to him citing scriptures. State boundaries?

"Father and son Guochang, it's been a few years since the turmoil has replaced the North. The urging of classes is very urgent, the exploitation is too heavy, and even the burning of the city and the destruction of the countryside, killing the people and the people. These are all thieves, how dare you not attack them?" Li Kan sat on the top First, the more than ten generals were divided on the left and right, and it seemed that they were discussing matters, but in fact, Li Kan was the only one who was talking, and the others did not agree or participate at all.

Shao Shude was standing near the door, he was already thinking wildly, if Li Kan was furious and wanted to kill his generals, how would he inform Lu Huaizhong who was only a few dozen steps away?This guy is taking 600 people from the front battalion to repair at the side. The soldiers are all armored and armed, ready to fight at any time.

"Commander, the Datong rebels are sharp and victorious. Our army is newly defeated. At this time, it is even more necessary to calm it down and take care of it." Guo Fei, the Marquis of Yu in Mabu, came out and replied: "Li Guochang has attacked Daizhou several times, and our army is ready to fight, and all of them will be repelled. What does the commander mean by taking the initiative to attack?

Shao Shude glanced at Li Kan and saw that his face was very ugly, and he felt a little sympathetic in his heart.These Hedong generals are really outrageous, their own territory is occupied by people, and they are often sent south to the grassy valley, so they are not touched?It would be light to say that you fear the enemy like a tiger. Who knows if there are other reasons?Inexplicably, he thought of the football players of later generations to join forces to kill the head coach, Nima, that's a bit of a meaning.

"General Guo, Li Ni's father and son have few major generals, and you dare to take the initiative to attack. Daizhou has [-] imperial officers and troops, but they dare not go north to kill the enemy, and can only be a guardian dog. What's the reason?" Li Kan patted heavily. After reading a few cases, he raised his voice and said: "This commander leads the army on the northern tour, not to watch the show. Today, the generals will return to the camp to prepare troops, food, and equipment. Tomorrow morning, the former army will cross the river first, and this commander will take it. Fanzhi will demoralize the rebels first."

"Follow the command of the commander." The generals responded sparsely.
