Dahan first prince

Chapter 370 The Surprise King Yan
Hearing Zhou Bo's solemn words, Luan Bu hastily bowed in return, and a little understanding finally appeared on his face.

In this battle, the court decided to divide the army into three groups, which seemed to be a common arrangement, but in fact, the division of strategic tasks between the three groups of soldiers and horses was extremely clear and clear.

The main task of the Right Route Army led by Li Ji in this battle was to slowly approach the capital of Weiman North Korea along the coastline: Pyongyang, and cover the Qi-Chu army on land, which had never revealed the news of its transfer before. Amphibious Army!
According to Zhou Bo, the key to the Han Dynasty's attack on Weiman Korea in this battle was that the Qi-Chu waterway coalition forces landed on the beach in the waters near Pyongyang, avoiding Weiman Korea's defense line on land. Straight into the enemy's hinterland, one battle will determine the world.

——As a veteran general who has experienced many battles, Luan Bu knew very well: the Qi-Chu waterway coalition forces did not need to attack Pyongyang City after landing on the beach!
As long as this army successfully lands on the beach and erects the military flag with the word "Han" written on it anywhere within [-] miles from Pyongyang, Pyongyang will surely be defeated.

Therefore, what Zhou Bo said is not an exaggeration: the main force in this campaign against Wiman Korea was the mysterious "Qi-Chu Water-Land Alliance Army".

As for the chariot and cavalry general Li Jisuo's right-hand army who was covering along the way, at best, they were attacking the waterway coalition army.

This was the case for Li Ji, who was in charge of covering the waterway coalition forces, not to mention Zhou Bo's central army.

Just one sentence, "Crossing the Yi River in the east, and then moving south, heading straight to Pyongyang" is enough to show that Zhou Bo's central army is not a combat force in the strict sense, but a team that escorts Zhou Bo to Pyongyang as soon as possible and presides over the overall situation of North Korea. guard armed.

To put it more bluntly, the mission of Zhou Bo's central army in this battle, or the strategic purpose, was to escort Zhou Bo to Pyongyang as quickly as possible.

Among the three armies, Li Ji's right arm was responsible for cover, Zhou Bo's center shouldered political missions, and only Luan Bu's left army could be said to be a fighting force in an absolute sense.

After crossing the Weishui, Luanbu's troops needed to be stationed fifty miles east of the Weishui until Yuanshuo in the winter and October. To put it bluntly, this was a deterrent to Weiman Korea and the barbarian tribes in North Korea.

——The middle and right troops of the Han Dynasty, you should be careful, if something goes wrong, my left side will go south to sweep!
When the waterway troops under the cover of Li Ji arrived near Pyongyang in winter and October, and began to seek landing, and when Zhou Bo was about to arrive in Pyongyang, Luan Bu would lead the army back west and rush to Daibei at high speed to prevent the Huns Take advantage of the fire.

In this way, it is indeed as Zhou Bo just said: the key to this battle is not whether the Han Dynasty can capture Pyongyang or punish the rebellious Wiman Joseon, but at the same time, whether they can avoid the Hanbei side wall. It was stirred into a pot of porridge by the Huns who might go south to plunder.

As long as there is no problem with the North Wall, even if the Korean War goes a little bit wrong, it will only be a matter of time before it succeeds;
But if there is a problem with the side wall, even if Wei Man grants the leadership and the Korean peninsula is completely unified by the Han Dynasty, the main force of the Han army will have no choice but to give up the fruits of victory, retreat to the west of the Weishui River, and rush to the front line of the Great Wall to fill the loopholes in the defense line of the side wall .

Thinking of this, Luan Bu sighed softly and raised his upper body, looking at Zhou Bo with seriousness in his eyes.

"Dare to ask the Taiwei to show me."

"My left army, the Taiwei's middle army, and Li Cheqi's right army, how many soldiers and horses do they have?"

"And the food and grass of the left army of our army need to be supplemented by Yan Guo?"

Hearing Luan Bu's words, Zhou Bo also took a breath, and immediately raised his head sincerely, looking at Luan Bu's stern face.

"President Yan, don't worry too much."

"His Majesty also explained this matter when he set off from Chang'an."

"——Li Che rode on the right side of the department, with the Guanzhong Army's [-] soldiers as the backbone, and all the righteous soldiers who came spontaneously were in the army, and the combined army was more than [-];"

"The central army of a certain department consists of [-] troops from Guanzhong, and more than [-] troops were recruited by a certain hero along the way."

"The [-] soldiers in Yu Guanzhong are all paid to the hands of Prime Minister Yan, so as to guard against Hu!"

The tone was full of firmness, and Liu Ying, Chang'an Chaotang, and the personnel of the three-way army were arranged, and Zhou Bo nodded slightly, with a little pride in his brows again.

If there is any "characteristic" that is obviously different in the army of the Han Dynasty compared with other eras, it is undoubtedly the "heroes" who did evil and harmed the local area on weekdays.

The emperor's personal expedition, the "heroes" in these places will come after hearing the news, and invite themselves to be pawns, and stage another drama of "killing more dogs for righteousness";

Like a few years ago, when Liu Ying went out as a prince to put down the Huainan Wang Yingbu Rebellion, she also attracted tens of thousands of "heroes" from the Kanto region, please go for the crown prince.

The court center always treats these uncertain factors that endanger local public security and threaten local stability at all times, with an ambiguous attitude.

——On weekdays, if you harm the local area and bully men and women, you must be dealt with strictly and severely according to the law;
But if it is a war, if you can "wake up" and devote yourself to the righteous cause of the court center, as long as you are not a villain with a bad reputation and too many criminal records, there is a high probability that you will be treated with "don't blame the past, and make meritorious deeds".

Follow the emperor, the prince, or some military giant to walk through the battlefield, as long as they don't perform too badly, then these heroes can earn the reputation of being "loyal to the country";

If you are lucky enough to make some meritorious deeds on the battlefield and cut off the heads of three or two enemy troops, you will be able to clean up your crimes in place, and even join the army directly, or be invited home by some dignitaries and nobles. Eat well and raise them up as a 'retainer' and 'family soldier'.

But this time, the imperial court conquered Weiman and North Korea. Although the emperor Liu Ying did not personally conquer, for these "heroes" in these places, this battle is still a good opportunity to change their fate.

In addition, the coach Zhou Bo can indeed be regarded as the most capable senior military general among the surviving heroes of the Han Dynasty, and this has also made many leaders of the Kanto black society to devote themselves to Zhou Bo's side. "Die crime and meritorious deeds", and even soared into the sky.

For such a situation, Zhou Bo accepted it calmly, and even deliberately acted out a few scenes of "undressing clothes" and "pushing food".

——Nothing else: Whether you are a peddler, a traveling merchant, or a literati or a farmer, if you want to settle down in today's Han Dynasty, you must have two elements.

One: filial piety to parents;
The second: Loyalty to the country.

As long as these two points are achieved, the other things are not so important.

As for the 'heroes', or the so-called ranger group, although most of them have no concept of the legal system, this does not mean that these people are lawless, have no bottom line, and have no principles.

It's just that what they abide by is not the laws promulgated by the court, or the universal values ​​of "killing people for life" and "paying debts for money", but a set of special codes of conduct in their hearts.

In a nutshell, this code of conduct can be commonly understood as: the way of being a chivalrous man.

As long as it fits the definition of a chivalrous man, as if a "chivalrous man" can do something, whether it is murder, arson, or burning, killing and looting, these people do it without the slightest thought or moral burden;
In the same way, as long as it is not in line with the way of a chivalrous man, and it is not something that a "chivalry" can do, then no matter how correct and just the matter is, the rangers will not do it.

In the way of chivalry, the most core principle is: righteousness.

Righteousness here naturally does not refer to benevolence and righteousness, but righteousness, chivalry, family and country righteousness, or righteousness, and national righteousness.

For ordinary people, the rangers may not be so kind;
But for those who are born and died with themselves, whether they are brothers in the same industry or colleagues in the army, the rangers are always extremely righteous.

Things like 'I will raise your wife and children', and even struggling to eat enough to make the dead brother's children go to school and have a future, often happen among this group.

For Sheji, or a certain family, a certain surname, the rangers can't say how "loyal" they are;
But as long as it involves foreign races and foreign countries, the Rangers can always devote themselves to any cause that they think is 'beneficial to the nation' with an incomparably patriotic and incomparable nationalist attitude.

As for filial piety, let alone.

——Even in the new era of later generations, those who can be more filial to their parents are always those "dog butchers" rather than high-level intellectuals, let alone the ancient era of more than 2000 years.

To put it bluntly, although most of the ranger group is unrestrained and difficult to control, they are also extremely firm in sticking to their principles.

To put it in more common terms, it means admitting death.

If people think that people should be filial, then the rangers will be filial all their lives;
No matter what happens, no matter what dangers you are in, you will never forget to miss your old father and mother at home.

Feeling that we should stand upright, the rangers will pay attention to every war about foreign tribes and foreign domains;

As long as there is a chance, you will resolutely join it, bring your own dry food and weapons, step on the battlefield, and throw your head and blood for the nation you are proud of.

So in Zhou Bo's view, the ranger group is not outlaws who are completely disgusted by people, but a group that people love and hate, hate and love, hate them indisputably, and some are reluctant to give up.

As for whether bringing along such a group of unorganized and undisciplined outlaws in the war will have a negative impact on the army's combat effectiveness and will to fight, there is no need for Zhou Bo to worry at all.

——These people may not be able to say how much they obey management and orders, nor how superb their combat skills are, but in some special scenarios, the role that this group can play is far from [-] to [-] soldiers Horses can compare!
During the march of the army, they searched for water sources for the army, or some small roads and shortcuts that ordinary people did not refer to, pretended to be the vanguard of the army, scouted the road ahead, and even used some magical tricks during the siege process. Breaking through the city in a bizarre way is a special skill possessed by this group.

Although this time, the battlefield of the court army was the Korean peninsula outside the border, and most of the "local snake" skills of the ranger group were useless, but Zhou Bo still followed the usual practice and brought all the heroes from these places with him.

——Even if it is useless, bringing these people can at least make the Kanto area a little more peaceful for a few months, and let the people live in peace for two days, right?
Thinking of this, Zhou Bo raised his head with a smile, and the seriousness between his brows also tended to dissipate a little.

But in front of Zhou Bo, Yan Xiang Luan Bu frowned, his face full of solemnity.

If before, when Zhou Bo said, "In this battle, the army needs to cover the advance of other troops first, and then turn back to the side wall", Luan Bu hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation. Then when Zhou Bo clearly pointed out that "the army of 15 pass, I will send [-], Li will send [-], and the remaining [-] will be given to your staff, after Luan Bu's heart fell to the bottom of the valley.

"One hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Guanzhong..."

With a sudden murmur on his face, Luan Bu hesitantly took a deep breath, his lips trembling slightly.

Since the first emperor Liu Bang returned to the Three Qin Dynasty and formally took control of Qinzhong, the Han army has two famous sayings that will never change;

——In terms of loyalty, the soldiers of Fengpei Longxing are the first to bear the brunt;
——In terms of combat power, the army composed of children from good families in Guanzhong is invincible!
For the Kanto, and even the entire known world, the word "Han Guanzhong Bing" always means the elite!

But for this battle, the court sent 15 Guanzhong elites, but handed over [-] of them to Luan Bu, the Prime Minister of Yan...

"Your Majesty is really favored and trusted by King Yan..."

With such an exclamation in his heart, before Luan Bu raised his head, he heard Li Ji's slight but incomparably clear laughter.

"How dare I lie to the king?"

"It is indeed His Majesty's decree to make the king go out with the army, cross the Weishui to the east, and see the scenery outside the fortress;"

"The Empress Dowager also agreed to this matter..."

Hearing this, Luan Bu raised his head abruptly, and saw Zhou Bo nodding his head while looking at him with a meaningful smile.

"Well······"

"That's right..."

"One hundred thousand elites and my hand, King Yan, there is no reason why we should still live in Yanji..."

Thinking like this, Luan Bu finally got up from his seat, bowed his hands to Zhou Bo deeply, and expressed that he accepted the order.

Seeing that Zhou Bo also stood up, bowed his hands slightly to return the salute, then cast a serious glance at Liu Chang who was aside, and immediately turned around again.

"The King of Yan traveled eastward with a certain Chinese army, and the Prime Minister of Yan was entrusted with the emperor's order. The Kingdom of Yan will be ruled by the internal historian for the time being;"

"However, there is one thing that I should tell Prime Minister Yan first."

"——Your Majesty's oral order: As long as the swords and swords in North Korea are not stopped, the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom must not move a single soldier or pawn!"

"Even if there is an edict from the emperor and a tiger talisman for dispatching troops, it is the same!!!"

Hearing this, Luan Bu bowed again to show that he understood.

"When a certain man set out from Chang'an, His Majesty had issued an edict to General Feihu's troops: But Yan Xiang sent people to ask for help, and all the troops of Feihu's troops must rush to help."

"When the west returns to the north, Prime Minister Yan can prepare dozens of fast horses in case of any eventuality;"

"If there is something wrong with the side wall, Prime Minister Yan will send a flying horse to the flying fox path. Lord Jipu will naturally respond to Prime Minister Yan's request..."

　Yesterday, I disconnected the broadband first, and I had code words on my mobile phone. As a result, halfway through writing, the mobile phone was also shut down...
　　I ran to ask and found out that the mobile phone was in arrears, and even the broadband was stopped...

　　Hi······

　　What was changed yesterday will be added tomorrow.
