Chapter 878 The Army Sets Out [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

However, Qin is Qin, Taiyuan, Hengshan and Julu are Taiyuan, Hengshan and Julu counties. Qin is not afraid of Bingzhou, but these county magistrates cannot represent Qin.

Didn’t you see that from the beginning to the end of the banquet, the governor of Shanggu County of Yan State didn’t dare to say a word.

Especially since Gongsun Nu's army was gathering in Dai County, if Yan State made any move, the first person to suffer would be the governor of Shanggu County.

As for how to stop Gongsun Nu's attack, how could they defend? There were only a few Yan army left now, and most of them were stationed in Guangyang County to prevent the attack of the Qin army. The rest also fled to Liaodong County to continue expanding the territory towards Jizi Korea.

Gongsun Nu was sure of this fact of theirs. No matter who among them was, they could not represent the whole country to conflict with Bingzhou.

At least before the alliance between Qin, Bing and Yan was officially broken, no one dared to start a dispute easily.

Gongsun Nu's move was also very subtle. He ordered the Bingzhou cavalry to cross the battlefield and deploy them on the border between Yan and Donghu. If Yan wanted to go north, it had to attack the Bingzhou cavalry, but doing so would be tantamount to Yan tearing up the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

If Yan State really dared to do that, Qin State would be ecstatic.

If Qin wanted to attack Yan, it needed a reason to ensure that it had a legitimate cause.

Especially since Yan State still had the most orthodox Ji clan bloodline, if Qin State started a war without any reason, it would be easy for it to be criticized in history books.

On the other side, in Danlin City, the army had already assembled, but to be on the safe side, Meng Tian still let the troops rest on the spot.

"What are the soldiers of each army doing now?"

Meng Tian asked the staff secretary as usual.

"We just finished the training camp, and now the Red Flame Cavalry and the Jinyiwei soldiers are having some problems, playing Cuju with their bare chests on the training ground!"

Shuzuo said with a smile.

The conflict between the Jinyiwei and the Chiyanqi has been going on for more than just one or two days.

A man who thinks he is the emperor's personal guard and looks down on everyone with his nose in the air.

One of them considered himself to be the best cavalryman under the Yulin Guard, and he felt that the Jinyi Guard, who could only do tricks secretly, were not as pure as them.

But now the two sides are comrades and partners, and it is impossible for them to really kill each other.

So they chose the way of men and warriors, and decided the winner by playing Cuju on the training ground.

Meng Tian, ​​Han Xin and Bai Feng did not stop him either.

It is not surprising that there are conflicts. Even if there were no Jinyiwei, the Chiyan Cavalry would still have conflicts with the soldiers of other ordinary guards.

It was just because of the appearance of the Jinyiwei that the other guards subconsciously stood together with the Chiyanqi.

After all, they are soldiers wearing armor, and as the name suggests, the Jinyiwei are guards wearing brocade clothes. There is a difference between the two.

"Just Cuju?" Meng Tian was curious.

Cuju consists of eleven people, which is exactly the number of a ten-man team. They can effectively coordinate the command of the team leader, and are divided into front, middle and back. So it is the same as the military structure, with forwards, centers and defenders, as well as the commanding captain.

As for whether the commander will stay in the rear or in other positions, it depends on the different squads and the squad leader will make the choice himself.

Therefore, after Yan Yan simply explained the rules and methods of playing Cuju at Gaoquesai Military Academy, it quickly became popular throughout Bingzhou.

After all, Gaoquesai Military Academy is the cradle of Bingzhou officers and soldiers. Almost all high-level, middle-level and low-level officers and soldiers in Bingzhou have studied in Gaoquesai, and naturally this Cuju game has become popular throughout Bingzhou.

"There is also wrestling!" Shu Zuo did not hide it.

Before Cuju became popular, soldiers would resolve any dissatisfaction through wrestling duels.

Meng Tian hesitated for a moment, "If it's Cuju, the Red Flame Cavalry may be able to fight back and forth with the Jinyiwei, but in wrestling, the Red Flame Cavalry will probably lose."

"General, your guess is correct." Shuzuo nodded.

It’s not that there is no one in the Red Flame Cavalry who can beat the Jinyiwei in wrestling fights, but on average, the Jinyiwei win more.

After all, the Jinyiwei were facing those martial arts masters who practiced fighting skills, while the Chiyanqi were facing enemy soldiers who practiced large-scale battlefield martial arts. Therefore, in a one-on-one wrestling fight, it was difficult for the Chiyanqi to defeat the Jinyiwei.

But Cuju is different. Cuju emphasizes coordination and cooperation. Although the Jinyiwei also have ways to join forces to fight the enemy, they are not like the Chiyanqi and other guards who train and command every day.

Thinking of this, Meng Tian also led a group of soldiers from the shogunate to the training ground. After all, in this era, it was still important to eat and live with the soldiers.

So Meng Tian and others also came to the training ground to watch today's Cuju game.

The two groups of troops on the parade ground knew that the generals of the central army shogunate had arrived, so they naturally put in their utmost strength and were unwilling to lose to the other side.

The parade ground was also filled with onlookers, cheering for the two teams, and the overall atmosphere was extremely lively.

"Morale available!"

Although Meng Tian was watching the game, his eyes were moving around the soldiers. Seeing that the soldiers were full of energy, he nodded.

Now we just have to wait for the specific information sent back by the Military Control Commission.

Returning to the central army headquarters, Meng Tian carefully checked the intelligence and battlefield layout sent back by the Military Control Commission. After making sure that everything was foolproof, he finally ordered the drum to be beaten and the shogunate to gather its troops.

"Everything is ready, General Gongsun, and the warriors of the Military Control Commission have also fought the preliminary battle for us. Now it's our turn to take action."

Meng Tian looked at all the military captains present and spoke seriously.

With Gongsun Nu stabilizing the border between Qin and Yan, with the extremely detailed intelligence sent back by the Military Control Commission agents who had been secretly lurking in Donghu for many years, and with the most elite soldiers in the entire world, if he could still lose, then Meng Tian should really go back to where he came from, just like Gongsun Nu said.

"Please give the order, General!"

All the generals and soldiers saluted and stepped forward, waiting impatiently to receive Meng Tian's military sword.

"Come!" Meng Tian led a group of generals to the huge sand table map.

Everyone was also looking at the sand table map drawn up based on the information sent back by the Military Intelligence Bureau's intelligence personnel, on which the deployment of enemy and our forces was clearly marked.

Meng Tian held a baton and pointed at each target location. The generals of the shogunate also handed military swords to the generals who were pointed at and explained their tasks in detail.

Looking from the sand table, you can see that the Bingzhou army will surge towards the entire Donghu territory like a tide, like a huge pocket, trying to include Donghu, or even more like a tiger opening its mouth wide, trying to swallow Donghu in one gulp.

The combat order was issued, and officers from all armies returned to their camps and moved towards their combat targets.

As for the oath of allegiance, only the main force of the central army or the troops that are not so pressed for time will participate. More troops must arrive at the battlefield at the specified time in the combat order and end the battle within the specified time.
