Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 287

The mobilization of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong was not only Zhang Lu in Hanzhong who was secretly on guard, Li Jue of Sili, Liu Biao who was attacking Nanyang, Qiang, Di, Xiongnu and other Hu people in Xihe and Shangjun immediately raised their vigilance, and all of them were strictly intensified. alert.

When the deer are grazing, they will always be on guard against the tiger's hunting.

Neighboring with a vicious wolf, a leopard has to be on guard at all times.

From Lingju to Jincheng, from Jincheng to Liangzhou, and then from Liangzhou to Guanzhong.

Luo Zheng is like the strongest of a group of wild beasts, who lived tenaciously to the end, while the other wild beasts were either expelled from the territory by him, or were torn into pieces, and anyone who is a neighbor with him will feel a lot of pressure.

This guy is too dangerous, every time he shows his fangs, someone will be unlucky.

The frequent mobilization of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, how could it not arouse the vigilance of the surrounding princes.

Only this time, I don't know who will be unlucky again.

It wasn't until the beginning of September that Luo Zheng's mighty general Yan Xing led [-] Hedong soldiers to station in Sanguan, and everyone suddenly realized.

It turned out that this time he wanted to use Hanzhong for surgery, not to be unlucky for himself.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only Da Lu turned pale with shock.

It was a real shock, Luo Zheng wanted to raise troops against Hanzhong, which was never thought of before.

The tiger and the leopard have been neighbors for many years, and they have always lived in peace.

But the tiger suddenly showed its fangs and wanted to eat the leopard, how could the leopard not turn pale with fright.

While Zhang Lu sent people to Zhang An at Xingye to ask Luo Zheng why he wanted to use weapons recklessly, and begged for peace in a low voice, he quickly mobilized troops and horses. Once Luo Zheng really wanted to invade Hanzhong, he would immediately send troops to meet the enemy.

Naturally, Luo Zheng will not meet the Hanzhong envoys, and leave all of them to Jia Xu to deal with.

In fact, the mobilization of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong is just an illusion. How can the soldiers and horses stationed in various places move lightly at this time.

They all go out during the day and return at night, so as to confuse the spies and scouts scattered in the pass.

In order to confuse the real with the fake, the more than ten thousand soldiers who had not yet left Chang'an were pulled out to stay in a circle, so that the secret agents and scouts of all parties could see that the Guanzhong army was gathering on the front line of Sanguan and Xieyu.

Even if there are still people who have doubts, Luo Zheng just took down Guanzhong, how could he march into Hanzhong again, at this time, he has to suppress his doubts and wait for the situation to change.After all, Luo Zheng is aggressive. Even if Guanzhong is not stable, it is not impossible to send troops to Hanzhong. After all, Hanzhong is only a county.

The mobilization of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong even attracted the attention of Yizhou Mu Liuzhang.

After all, Hanzhong is the gateway of Xichuan, if the situation changes, Liu Zhang can't pay attention to it.

Although Zhang Lu is a bit arrogant, compared with the aggressive Luo Zheng, he is a heaven and an underground.

The Xichuan gentry would rather let Zhang Lu block the gate, and no one would like to see Hanzhong occupied by Luo Zheng.

Letting a wild boar sleep outside the gate is more reassuring than a tiger blocking the gate.

By mid-September, no less than [-] troops had assembled at Xiegu and Sanguan.

Zhang Lu failed to seek peace, so he had to mobilize troops and horses to meet the enemy. He ordered General Yang Ren to lead [-] troops to station at Dingjun Mountain, guarding the official road from Sanguan to Hanzhong in the south, and ordered his younger brother Zhang Wei to lead [-] troops to guard Yangping Pass. , strangling the main point of oblique desire.

Meridian Ridge, on the winding and rugged mountain road.

Zhao Yun led [-] soldiers from the east of the river staggering forward, stretching back and forth for several miles.

This is the eight hundred Li Qinling Mountains. From the Meridian Valley Trail to Hanzhong, it takes more than five hundred li to walk through the rugged, cloud-shrouded mountains and deep ravines to get to Nanzheng. For an army, it is such a road Xiaolu is definitely a severe test and a huge challenge, and we have to face many very difficult problems.

Luo Zheng and Jia Xu only know that there is such a path that can reach the hinterland, but they don't know how difficult it is to walk.

Making such a decision was indeed a bit hasty.

After Zhao Yun led his troops on the mountain road, he realized that it was just a path walked by a woodcutter.

When crossing deep ravines, there are thousands of cliffs on both sides, and it is estimated that monkeys cannot climb up.

When climbing up the trail on the top of the mountain, there are large clouds and mist under your feet, which makes you feel like you are walking in the clouds, and your feet are a little floating. Some soldiers accidentally stepped on the air and fell off the nearby cliff, and the screams made people creepy.

Everyone was beating drums in their hearts, cursing their mothers secretly.

This kind of road is simply not for people to walk.

What's more terrible is that in many places, vehicles and horses can't get through at all. Zhao Yun had to order the soldiers to open the way ahead, and reluctantly transported the grain and grass. At least more baggage was discarded decisively.

If these supplies were not thrown away, it would be difficult for the army to walk through the Meridian Trail and reach Nanzheng.

There was a steep slope ahead, and the carts pulling grain and fodder could not get up. More than a dozen soldiers were pushing hard behind, but the wheels of the carts sank into a ditch half a foot deep. No matter how hard the buffaloes and soldiers pulling the carts tried, Can't go up either.

"Let someone come!"

Zhao Yun rushed over and quickly offered his hand.

The soldiers cheered up and immediately shouted, "One, two, three..."

Everyone exerted strength at the same time, and Zhao Yun also exerted all his strength, lifting both arms upwards violently.

The heavy grain truck moved forward violently, and the wheels finally got out of the ditch.

The soldiers looked at Zhao Yun with awe, this is the real fierce man.

General Xu Huang is also a fierce man, but it seems that he suffered a disadvantage when he was learning martial arts with General Yan Xing. Afterwards, he personally admitted that his martial arts were not as good as Yan Xing, but Yan Xing was not the most fierce in the Xiliang Army.

The Hedong soldiers had heard about it a long time ago, and now the most fierce in the Xiliang army is Zhao Yun who has been in Wuwei.

In addition to Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, who commanded the lord's personal soldiers and iron guards, was next.

As for the two generals Zhang Liao and Yan Xing, it is said that their martial arts are indistinguishable from each other, but General Zhang Liao was defeated by General Xu Chu when he was under Lu Bu, so General Yan Xing should be slightly inferior.

The Hedong soldiers used to only know that General Xu Huang was a fierce man, but after taking refuge in Luo Zheng, they realized that the Xiliang Army had more fierce men.

It seems that even Dong Zhuo's subordinates did not have so many fierce men in the Xiliang army.

The time for the Hedong soldiers to seek refuge is still short. Although they are more determined than Xu Huang, they feel that it is really cool to be a soldier under a lord like Luo Zheng, but after all, they are not Luo Zheng's direct descendants, so they are somewhat worried about being squeezed out.

This time it wasn't Xu Huang who led the army, and the Hedong soldiers were even more uncertain.

"Boss, do you think we were sent to die this time?"

Some soldiers from Hedong looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so they asked a military lord beside him.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Junhou yelled: "If you dare to spread rumors again, be careful that I will beat you!"

The little soldier shrank his neck and called out to Qu: "The villain speaks from his heart, how dare he spread rumors. There are few people in the army who are pushed out. Otherwise, why are we the Hedong soldiers and not the Xiliang soldiers who went to Hanzhong this time?" The army is not even led by General Xu Huang, please tell me, isn't this worrying about General Xu Huang?"

Junhou glared at him and asked, "Who did you hear this from?"

Xiao Bing said: "Brothers all said so!"

The Marquis Jun's face was a little gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Listen to me, stop talking nonsense in the future, my lord, don't worry about General Xu Huang, can we let our Hedong soldiers guard Hongnong for a few months? As for this The reason why I went out to Hanzhong for the second time was because the Xiliang army was stationed in various places and could not leave for the time being. Only our Hedong soldiers did not need to garrison the pass. As for not letting General Xu Huang lead the army, it is because General Xu Huang has been reused by the lord, and there are more important things Things have to be done, don't you fucking think about it!"

The little soldier said: "Really?"

Junhou snorted coldly: "Nonsense, I can still lie to you!"

Xiaobing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!"

The Marquis of Jun calmed down, and said: "Listen to me, since our Hedong soldiers have taken refuge in the lord, we will become brothers with the Xiliang army in the future, and they are all soldiers under the lord, so we can't distinguish them so clearly. Yet?"

Xiao Bing didn't quite understand, but he still nodded, "The villain knows."

Looking at him, Junhou knew that he didn't understand, so he shook his head secretly.

People's hearts are the most complicated. After the Hedong soldiers took refuge in Luo Zheng, although they quickly gave up their hearts, they still inevitably had an instinctive defense against the Xiliang army. They were afraid of being squeezed out by the Xiliang army. This is a common problem of people.

The integration between armies always takes time to complete.

Even the Marquis himself may not have this kind of worry.

It's just that these words can't be said, otherwise it will only cause bad things.

Fortunately, as far as the current situation is concerned, although the Xiliang Army has formed an inherent system long ago, there has not been the phenomenon that the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo's command wantonly squeezed out and suppressed the Bingzhou Army and the Luoyang Army.

The Marquis Jun came from here. When he was under Dong Zhuo's command, he was squeezed out and suppressed by the Xiliang Army.

After following Xu Huang and taking refuge under Luo Zheng's command, although those Xiliang troops also made circles, it was only a normal phenomenon in the army, and they were relatively friendly to the Hedong soldiers who had taken refuge with themselves.

Most of the crowding out among the troops comes from the upper echelons.

As long as the soldiers at the top are friendly, the soldiers at the bottom are actually fine.

What I am most afraid of is that the top-ranking generals will crowd out each other. If the soldiers at the bottom want to protect themselves, they have to form a group to deal with various pressures. Where did the curse come from.

Whether Xu Huang has been reused, I will never tell them.

Junhou also did not find that the Xiliang Army was deliberately crowding out the Hedong soldiers through his own observations, so he always felt that General Xu Huang should not be suppressed by the generals of the Xiliang Army, so he was not very worried.

That being the case, some words must not be said indiscriminately.

It's nothing at all, but if the people below talk too much, there will be a problem.

Besides, the Xiliang Army did not deliberately crowd out the Hedong soldiers. If the soldiers under him continued to speculate, there would be big problems sooner or later.

In all honesty, being a soldier under Luo Zheng is still very good.

The brothers can not only have enough food and clothing, but also receive a generous military salary every month.

This kind of treatment was exactly the same as that of the Xiliang Army, and the Hedong soldiers were not treated differently.

Even if he dies in battle in the future, his family will still receive a generous sum of blood. Compared with when he was a soldier under Yang Feng, the treatment is really a heaven and a hell. In today's chaotic world, he should be satisfied.

Luo Zheng's reputation is not very good, but there is nothing wrong with the soldiers who work for him.

As long as soldiers can eat meat, soldiers will never be allowed to drink soup.

As long as it is a soldier under Luo Zheng's command, it will be felt for a long time.

The Hedong soldiers have been here for several months, and they naturally feel it. The reason why some people are worried is not because they have any opinions on Luo Zheng, the new lord, but because they are afraid of being squeezed out by the Xiliang Army.

And this kind of unreasonable worry is also the most likely to cause conflicts.

The more the Marquis thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and when he found a chance, he must beat these big soldiers.

Eunuchs worry about their minds, this is definitely a way for mediocre people to worry about themselves and bring disaster.

At this time, the people in front stopped, not knowing what happened again.

Word of mouth spread among the soldiers, and the soldiers in the back who were blocked on the mountain road soon knew what had happened.

It turned out that a big worm jumped out of the mountain in front and killed a soldier. After about one stick of incense, the army went back on the road, and the people behind heard the news one after another.

The tiger was slaughtered by General Zhao Yun, and we can add another dish for dinner, and eat tiger meat.

Although not many, but everyone has a share.
