Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

Gao Qiu's army crossed the city, treating the [-]-odd people and Lingchuan County as if they were air. The blood-blowing soldiers were fine, but most of the soldiers in Chenzhou looked ashen, and they were in a bad mood when they surrendered. brewing.

Regarding this, Ximen Qing smiled slightly, and did not even convene a military meeting. In his opinion, Gao Qiu's doing so gave him considerable convenience. In fact, Ximen Qing did not expect Gao Qiu to send reinforcements, nor did he He didn't want to be in Gao Qiu's army.

The power of 5000 people in his hands is already a great wealth for Ximen Qing.

Running around with Gao Qiu's army, it would be better to manage the 5000 people in Lingchuan County.

Ximenqing's nail is a given.

Grasp the gate of Weizhou and let Gao Qiu and Niu Wenzhong fight!

At least Ximen Qing had the title of Army Supervisor on his head, so it would be convenient to appease the soldiers of Chenzhou.

"Master Marshal has led his army to Gaizhou Prefecture to fight against Niu Wenzhong." Ximen Qing said so comfortingly: "And our task is to guard Lingchuan County to prevent thieves from cutting off Mr. Marshal's way out. This is Command of the Marshal."

The soldiers of Chenzhou were relieved. It turned out that this was pre-arranged. Since the army went to Gaizhou, wouldn't Lingchuan County be the rear area?

The morale in the city suddenly turned from low to high, especially in the evening when Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Sun Xin, Shi Xiu and others returned with more than 100 carts full of grain and grass, the morale reached a considerable height.

Including those surrendered soldiers are relieved, with food in hand, don't panic.

Staying in this "rear area" is much better than going with the army to fight Niu Wenzhong's tens of thousands of elite soldiers?

After eating and drinking enough, naturally they can't be idle. Those who build the city walls, those who train the soldiers, the instructors are not Qin Ming and Lin Chong, but the blood-blowing soldiers. The training method is the same as that on Liangshan.

Wu Bingyi was dead, so Ximenqing reorganized the soldiers from Chenzhou and those surrendered soldiers. The brothers were divided into hundreds to 1000 people, and the former generals became lieutenants.

A snake without a head can't do it. The army must have strong combat effectiveness. Hard training alone is not enough. A complete officer system is also needed to make the army command like fingers. Even if the general is not there, the army can still continue to fight in an orderly manner. without collapsing.

In ancient times, the army of the Qin State adopted a complete officer system in order to ensure its combat effectiveness in the South and North Wars.

And Niu Wenzhong's food transportation team is a negative example. When encountering the enemy, they panic and can't even do an organized block or counterattack. Their combat effectiveness can be described as low.

Therefore, the elite selected among these soldiers became the lowest-level officers. The multi-level system of corporal commander, ten commander, and squad leader allowed each soldier to always have a target to follow in training or on the battlefield.

In fact, most people in this world are followers by instinct. Most troops have this kind of officer system, but it has no actual effect. It has gradually become a vain job, with empty pay and exploitation of ordinary soldiers. , the real fight to take the lead in oiling the soles of the feet more.

But Ximenqing's method is to return these low-level positions to their original functions, let those who are really capable take up these low-level positions, and then use these corporal leaders and ten long and small captains to unite the entire army.

You have to clenched your fists, and it hurts to hit someone.

Seeing these low-level officers gradually enter their roles, and the soldiers began to train seriously, Ximen Qing nodded secretly.

At the same time, the sick captain Chi Sunli also proposed to guard the three-way intersection thirty miles north of Lingchuan County, cutting off the grain road.

Ximen Qing readily followed suit, but instead of assigning fixed generals and soldiers, he adopted a rotation system every three to five days, with the intention of honing these soldiers in small-scale battles.

...

...

"Snapped!"

In a rage, Niu Wenzhong slapped the table with his palm, almost vomiting blood.

[-] elite soldiers set up camp twenty miles northeast of Gaizhou Prefecture, but soon got two bad news.

Fang Qiong and four generals Yang Duan, Guo Xin, Su Ji, and Zhang Xiang died, [-] soldiers broke up, and some fled back to Gaoping County, bringing back the bad news.

Gaoping County was guarded by Xiong Wei and General Yulin with 1 people, and there were four partial generals He Ren, Cao Hong, Shi Xun, and Sang Ying.In addition to guarding Gaoping County, he is also responsible for the task of transporting grain.

When Yu Yulin got the bad news, he was drinking and having fun with Sang Ying, and he was serving some captured civilian girls.

It would have been a good job to transport food and grass without going to the front to fight.

Yu Yulin was shocked by the news of Fang Qiong's death, and the unmasked meeting that was planned to be held was also ruined.

Sang Ying gathered thousands of soldiers who had fled back, but more soldiers were originally Xiang soldiers from the Sanjin area, and took the opportunity to flee back to their hometown.

The situation was bad enough, and Yu Yulin was going to send someone to report the bad news to Niu Wenzhong.

Unexpectedly, the next day, among the soldiers who fled back were soldiers from the grain transport team sent by Yu Yulin.

He Ren, Cao Hong, and Shi Xun failed to escape, but died at the three-way intersection.

When Xiong Wei and Yulin got the second bad news, they panicked.

Song Bing, who originally thought that his strength was only enough to hide in Lingchuan County, was able to send people to rob food.

This fully shows that Lingchuan County still has spare power to send troops.

Will the next target be Gaoping County, which he guards?

Xiong Weiyu boarded Yulin on the tower and looked in the direction of Lingchuan County, his face was ashen.

"General, it's better to report the news to the Privy Envoy as soon as possible." The general Sang Ying suggested: "It's better for him to decide this kind of thing."

"That's true, but what will the Privy Councilor think?" Xiong Weiyu Yulin's voice was a little hoarse, and he pondered for a while: "These two bad news will naturally be reported to the Privy Councilor, but at the same time, we must show that we Wait for the determination to stick to it.”

"The general is right."

"From today onwards, rectify the soldiers and practice more diligently." Xiong Wei and Yulin patted the green bricks on the wall: "This city wall also needs to be repaired."

"Yes, the last general will do it."

"Slow down!" Xiong Weiyu Yulin said again: "At the same time, collect food and grass around Gaoping County, don't let a grain of wheat or a blade of grass go!"

"Yes!" Sang Ying suddenly hesitated: "Should those people keep some rations..."

Xiong Wei and Yulin snorted: "Use extraordinary means in extraordinary times. They want rations, so the army doesn't need them? If the food roads are cut off, and if they don't recover for a day, the food won't come in. We're hungry. Now, the [-] elite soldiers of the Privy Envoy can't go hungry to attack the Gaizhou government!"

"I will understand at the end!"

"Also, send messengers to Baodu Mountain and ask the three village masters to send troops to clear the grain road."

"Yes!"

"Also, alcohol is prohibited in the army from today...including this general, anyone who breaks the law will be punished!"

Xiong Wei and Yulin's decision surprised Sang Ying, because he knew that Xiong Wei and Yulin were a heavy drinker. Yu Yulin is also yin and yang, but he didn't expect to let him issue a prohibition order today.

"Yes!"

Sang Ying replied awe-inspiringly.

While Niu Wenzhong was furious, he also got the news that Xiong Weiyu Yulin had expressed his determination, so he suppressed his anger a little.

Bravely General An Shirong and Biaowei General Chu Heng were also in the account. These two bad news were like thunder on the ground, making them tremble in their hearts.

Then Ximen Qingman only had more than [-] men and horses, why did he dispatch [-] elite soldiers, and boldly sent troops to rob food!

Those food and grass were supposed to be transported here!

"How much food and grass are there in the army?"

Niu Wenzhong finally calmed down, and asked with a frown.

Paiwei general An Shirong hurriedly called the officer in charge of the rations to ask.

"If you go back to Marshal, there are still five days of food and grass." The officer cupped his hands and said, "It is estimated that Gaoping County will transport food from the general, and it will only take a day or two."

"That batch of food and grass can't arrive." Niu Wenzhong said coldly: "But if the news gets out, you are the only one to ask."

The officer was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat: "Master Privy Envoy... this..."

"Okay, you go down first."

Niu Wenzhong waved his hand to make the officer retreat, his eyes brightened: "Five days...five days of military rations is enough! Do you think this Gaizhou government can stop our army?"

Piwei General An Shirong and Biaowei General Chu Heng looked at each other, and said in unison: "How can a mere construction of the state capital stop my army for five days!"

"No..." Niu Wenzhong said sternly: "Three days, we only have three days! Starting tomorrow, we will distribute food and grass in excess, so that the soldiers can only attack the city when they are full!"

"Master Privy Councilor, this..."

"The Gaizhou government has sufficient food and grass. Only by fighting down can we replenish our army's needs." Niu Wenzhong said: "So our army only has three days. Are you two confident?"

"Yes! Three days is three days!" Pai Wei patted An Shirong's chest.

"I would like to issue a military order!" Biao Wei bowed and handed Chu Heng over.

"Okay!" Niu Wenzhong stood up abruptly: "Now is the critical moment, so don't be careless! When Gaizhou is conquered, Lingchuan County will be next!"

"I don't believe that Ximenqing's more than 1 horses can stop us!" Niu Wenzhong's voice was sonorous and forceful: "When the time comes, Lingchuan County will be flattened, and I will cut off Ximenqing's head and wait for General Fang to wait for him!" revenge!"

"Yes! We are willing to be the pioneers!" Brave general An Shirong and Biaowei general Chu Heng remembered that the four powerful generals have now become three powerful generals, thanks to Ximen Qing, each of them was full of anger: "Take down Gaizhou Prefecture and flatten Lingchuan County!"

"Cook at the fourth watch, let the soldiers eat and drink enough, and start at the fifth watch!" Niu Wenzhong ordered: "Send spies to infiltrate the Gaizhou mansion, thinking that the internal response!"

"As ordered!"

At this moment, with a long "report!", a spy hurried into Niu Wenzhong's tent with sweat on his face, his expression quite flustered.

"What's the matter of panic! Report it quickly!" Niu Wenzhong shouted.

"About [-] Song soldiers camped twenty miles to the southeast, under the banner of Gao Qiu, commander of the Forbidden Army, and seven soldiers and horses in prison!" The spy hurriedly reported: "It seems to be reinforcements for Gaizhou. from the government!"

"What, there are actually 10 people!" Piwei General An Shirong and Biaowei General Chu Heng were shocked.

But Niu Wenzhong suddenly let out a burst of laughter.
