Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1201
"It's a pity that our army has already acted so far, but the thieves still dare not attack. After Liu Yongming, Tu Ge really has no heroic spirit. Even if he still has false appearances, it is just a gimmick."

Seeing the enemy army retreating slowly, Xiao Yuandong sighed, his tone was regretful, and his face also showed a bit of invincible loneliness: "Even if there is no battle today, if you stay here forever in the future, you will definitely kill these thieves here. "

When Xing Yue and other generals heard this, they all rolled their eyes.In fact, the previous route given by Hongnong was to travel along the south bank of the Weishui River, and go northward to Xiagui along the eastern edge of Jingzhao.

Because there are many miscellaneous Hus in the north of Fengyi County, and the habit of rogues is strong, the variables are even greater during the march.But Xiao Yuandong rejected this proposal, and decided to travel from the north bank of the Weishui River, so that the distance would be much shorter and he could arrive at Xiagui faster.

To be honest, this decision was a bit risky, especially when the team entered Dali County at the beginning, once the enemy attacked, the result was unpredictable.And their strength is on the table. Even if the team also carries some heavy equipment, there are not enough soldiers to use it.If a fight really happened, it would definitely not be as easy as Xiao Yuandong showed.

Of course, it was probably because the opponent did not expect the Jin army to be so bold and arrogant, coupled with the shocking force brought by Wang Shi's mighty power last year, the enemy hesitated and missed the opportunity.

Xing Yue and the others had all followed Xiao Yuandong for a long time, and understood that although the general had made surprising decisions, they were definitely not simply Meng Lang's recklessness, and any surprising actions had their own basis.And it is precisely because the general is like this that their subordinates can follow behind and make great achievements repeatedly.

This obviously risky but confident style has gradually become Xiao Yuandong's strong personal style.At least those ordinary soldiers were all very excited when they saw the performance of the general. They raised their arms and shouted, and the morale of the army was greatly encouraged.

Not long after the rebel army had retreated, the supporting army from Xiagui gradually appeared in sight, led by Li Bing, the former general of the Hongwu Army.After Li Bingying came up, he first bowed his hands to Xiao Yuandong, and then smiled wryly: "After Xiao Hou announced the itinerary, I immediately gathered the crowd to welcome him. Fortunately, I didn't miss my schedule. But Xiao Hou is so radical, it really makes people feel very surprised..."

Li Bing also had his own reasons to complain, this Xiao Yuandong was simply urging his life, and the itinerary announcement was too urgent, if it wasn't for the speedy deployment of Hongwu's elite army, he really wouldn't be able to come to meet him in time.

At present, the Hongwu Army has four thousand soldiers, distributed between Feng Yi and Jingzhao, and there are countless powerful men and women around them, far from being so strong that there is no taboo.So in the past winter, Li Bing also kept a low profile and did not make too much publicity so as not to be attacked by groups.But in order to be able to meet Xiao Yuandong in time, he could no longer keep a low profile, and came roaring all the way, encountering many spies.

Xiao Yuandong laughed when he heard the words, and stepped forward to pat Li Bing on the shoulder: "When we communicated earlier, I forgot to ask someone to tell Yuan Du, and I can always order you to respond. Don't be so impatient. Before that, thousands of bandits set up nearby It is true that we have pursued for a long time, but we are also afraid of the strength of the army and dare not attack."

"The general is mighty! The general is mighty!"

At this time, there was also a lot of applause among the troops, especially some Hongwu Army officers and soldiers who followed along the way saw how timid and fearful the bandit army was, and at this moment they all told the rest of Paoze about the previous hero who deterred the bandit army. state.After the reinforcements finished listening, their demeanors were also very exciting, and their gazes towards Xiao Yuandong gradually changed.

Sensing the change in the surrounding atmosphere, Xiao Yuandong's smile became more reserved.The reason why he chose this marching route was not simply to save travel time, just like what happened before, the officers and soldiers of the Hongwu Army saw that he was strong enough to deter the bandits from attacking, and their prestige was quickly established, which was beneficial to him for a while. Then take over the entire army.

Even if the enemy army really couldn't help attacking, he could still defend along the river, using himself as a bait to create a fighting opportunity for the Hongwu army who came to meet him, and declare his arrival through a field victory.As for the risks and variables that exist in it, to be honest, if he had focused on this and dared not risk his life, he would not have the achievements and status he has today.

Li Bing is also a general, and after a little thought about Xiao Yuandong's intentions, he understands that although he and Xiao Yuandong have different styles, there is no need to be stronger than the other. After welcoming Xiao Yuandong into the army, he said with a smile: "Xiaohou is magnificent, the Hongwu army is lucky to be supervised, and they will triumph in the future, and they will definitely be able to rank in the front!"

The Hongwu Army is different from the Fenwu Army that retreated to Hongnong to rest and recuperate. They go deep behind the enemy lines and still have combat missions, so Li Bing has to wait until Xiao Yuandong arrives before leaving his post.Later, he will go to Hedong to take over part of the upstream navy and continue to participate in the next western expedition.Leaving the Hongwu Army that he has been holding on for a long time, he will inevitably feel a little disappointed.

"The Hongwu army goes deep into the three assistants, and there is a lot to do in the battle. Yuandu, don't blame me for taking your position!"

Xiao Yuandong also left the Fenwu Army he created, and he also has an understanding of Li Bing's mood, but he is really not good at comforting others, even if he speaks with good intentions, it is a bit harsh to listen to.

"Xiao Hou said that, it would be a little arrogant. Guanzhong's special meritorious feast, all the troops looked around to share the meal. In the past, the Hongwu Army also won frequent battles under my supervision. If you discuss things after the war, you will list me instead, but Don't blame me for laughing so long!"

Li Bing also laughed when he heard the words, he did not leave the Hongwu Army for idleness, and there is a lot to do in future battles.

After the two armies converged, the army became even more majestic.Although there are still many powerful prying eyes around, even the most powerful Xiongnu and puppet Han bandits here dare not attack easily. The rest of the journey was much calmer.

It was only when he really entered Sansuke that Wang Meng felt the unique customs and customs of Guanzhong.Although he is not very old, his life can also be described as rough. He grew up in the midst of war, and he saw a lot of devastation in the world.

However, the scenery in Guanzhong is different from other troubled scenes he has seen. No matter how turbulent other places are, there will occasionally be some refugees wandering or living together in the countryside. There are also traces of cultivation in the fields. Although there is no order, there is also There are always people to look forward to.

But in this land of Sansuke, which has been known as the Heavenly Abundance since ancient times, Wang Meng felt the deepest silence.When the army marches, it is often empty for several miles or even tens of miles, and there are not even traces of villages. Except for the army passing by, the only thing that can be seen in the countryside is the sound of the wind and the panic-stricken birds and beasts. This made the Guanzhong Tianfu even more desolate and dilapidated.

Occasionally, some dock walls can be seen, all of which are high and dangerous, standing on dangerous ground.When the army passed by, it could be seen from a distance that the high wall of the dock was full of people, even including the old and weak, women and children, each holding sticks and weapons, as if they were going to fight with their lives to defend their homeland.

Sometimes there would be some wandering bandits in the wilderness, looking at the goods in the team with greedy eyes, and only when the scouts approached to drive them away, they would curse and flee to the wilderness further away.

Desolation and outrageous people, this is the biggest impression that the land of Sansuke brought to Wang Meng.Not to mention those bandits and tyrants who come and go, even ordinary people, all of them are bitter and bitter, and they seem to be fighting for their lives at any time, making people dare not insult them.

With such folk customs and worldly morals, can I be qualified for a humble job?Wang Meng was also questioning himself along the way, knowing that although his position was humble, it would be a great challenge for him if he wanted to be competent.

After marching and camping for the day, Wang Meng was recruited by Xiao Yuandong to the tent of the Chinese army before he had time to rest.

"Tomorrow, the villagers from Jingzhong will join the army to welcome the army. At that time, Wang Cheng will join the army with the villagers. Our army will continue to advance westward, so let's part here."

After Wang Meng entered the account, Xiao Yuandong spoke.

Wang Meng nodded after hearing the words. As he got closer to the destination, he knew more about the details of the realm.Although the Hongwu Army established a base here, they did not station all of them in Xiagu County. Instead, they stationed in battalions in the surrounding areas such as Chongquan and Liyang, each with different opponents.

As for the county magistrate he served as, he was only located in the area of ​​Jinshibei in the county.These hometown clans are one of the few rural households in the realm who have surrendered, and they are also the foundation of Xiayu County's governance, and his official, Xiayu County Magistrate, is a Wubi Lord who took the lead in returning to righteousness, named Zhai Ci .

"Guanzhong Minhan, don't be credulous before you enter the government. Although you are called the head of officials, Wang Cheng, and your county position is not correct, you have to understand that you are a general who rewards you. You are the official official of our bank. It’s a rough creation, but you will have Wangshi Huanzhen to help you, you don’t have to be patient and obedient when you encounter problems, and you will be educated and enlightened. If you encounter obstacles, there will be heroes to help you.”

Xiao Yuandong cheered up a little at first, and then he said a little embarrassedly: "Of course, my Jiedu is also responsible for my life here, and I can't turn to help you alone. You have to deal with ordinary disturbances by yourself. But if there are any I will never sit idly by if I can't cope with it. Lian Shao and Lubo Beach near Jinshibei have sub-battalions of the Hongwu Army stationed there, and this is your strong help."

At this point, Xiao Yuandong had no excuses. In fact, he didn't think it was necessary to set up the so-called grassroots team of Xiagui county government. It is still necessary to rely on strong troops and poor attack to completely subdue them.

Wang Meng still nodded respectfully, and when Xiao Yuandong stopped talking, he took out a volume from his sleeve and presented it with both hands: "Although the humble job is insignificant, I dare not use it negatively. The ax is picking up lost things."

Xiao Yuandong took the booklet and glanced at it hastily, his expression inevitably changed slightly.There are many measures listed in this booklet, which are not just rhetorical missions, but are all practical, such as land reclamation, taking in the villagers captured in the Hongwu army's battle, operating the market, taking the goods that were carried and seized by the military as a reward. The basis is to communicate with each other in the realm, as well as reorganize the rural music troupe to practice, replace the Hongwu Army camp to repair the camp, and so on.

Many measures are based on reality and have something to say, which seems to be very feasible.This also made Xiao Yuandong quite ashamed. If everything can be done, it will be like creating a stable base for the Hongwu Army in this environment. The great benefit is no longer what he thought was dispensable before.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuandong slightly changed his opinion of this young man, but he didn't want to admit his superficiality for a while, he just nodded his head and said indifferently: "It's very good to be able to get the charter and plan. If you can do... that's all, and Try to set the rules first, although it is still rough, after the results are achieved, I will add it again. I will teach you too much at the time, so it is inevitable that you will not be careful."

Wang Meng was also a little ashamed after hearing the words. He drew up this charter with a lot of considerations, but he didn't expect that it was still rough and incomplete in the eyes of General Xiao. If you are patient, you will not ask more questions to make you bored.After all, this is all my own job, and I still have to rely on my own self-examination and self-examination. How can I ask others to teach me everything.
