Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 128: Good at archery

In the south of Haozhou city, there is dust in a radius of several miles.

"Hey! Hey..." Not far away, two big men in shorts were carrying a thick|strong wooden claw, shouting and ramming the earth rhythmically. The brawny man carrying a load grinds his teeth and walks barefoot, while wiping sweat with the dirty cloth around his neck.

With the tent open, the Haozhou Tower is looming in the distance filled with yellow dust. Guo Shao is standing in front of a wooden frame, drawing with a brush! The painting was really ugly, but he seemed to be serious, asking the scout in detail while adding lines to the paper. He is drawing a rough sketch of the city.

At this time, a few military commanders took in, and he finally threw the brush in the inkstone, and turned around and said, "Building six camps, each with a double-layer defense, and placing secret guards around fifty miles and sending out riders."

"Here."

Guo Shao said again: "We just arrived in Shouzhou, with only 20,000 troops. Neither siege nor siege the city. Take the place first, and beware of the enemy's sneak attack."

A general reported: "There is a shoal in the northwest of the city. Thousands of Tang soldiers refused to defend. They not only repaired the fence, but also dug through the Huai River and repaired the moat! There is a water wall in the north of the city, and more than 200 warships are gathered. "

Another minister reported: "Hundreds of Tang Army warships were found in Sizhou downstream."

"Send people to watch around and ignore it for now." Guo Shao immediately ordered.

After a while, a member of the military commander was brought into the account by several soldiers. The military commander clasped his fists and saluted: "Final General Qi Jian, Youxiang Military Academy, and Fengxiang Commander Gao Huaide, come to visit Marshal Guo."

Guo Shao suddenly smiled kindly. He first asked Gao Huaide about his situation, and even asked him about his health. He was as concerned as an old friend... It was all caused by Xiang Xun and Zhao Kuangyin! Guo Shao didn't get along with these two people much, but they learned a lot in their words and deeds; especially Zhao Kuangyin, who Guo Shao thought was an opponent in his heart, did not prevent him from learning from his opponent.

But Qi Stork, the capital school, was not here to contact the generals. He quickly started talking about the business: "When General Li Jixun was on the right side, he was defeated in the southwest of Tushan, and the general led his troops to participate in the campaign. First, General Li. Hearing that the city of Shouzhou was broken, he was eager to attack, then tried to lure the enemy into an ambush; when the defeated army returned to the Zhou army camp, the grain and grass were burned by the strange soldiers. The final general thought that Chai Kehong had anticipated General Li's move and prepared It's very full."

Guo Shao nodded, picked up a pen from the inkstone, and wrote in a broken book: insight into the opponent's intentions, anticipating the enemy's opportunities, making good use of the strategy, and catching the opponent's general psychology.

"You keep talking."

Qi Guan said: "Our army was defeated in an ambush. At that time, the various ministries advanced and did not check the traps under and around them. Suddenly, the smoke filled with gunpowder and the soldiers separated. Panicked, they encountered several elites of Chai Kehong. , So there was a big defeat. Later I saw that they were just a few elite men and horses, the other chased chaotically, the team was chaotic, and they were not so powerful. We were just caught off guard!"

Guo Shao wrote and painted in the booklet again, recording the matter and his opinions. Then give it to Zuo You, Yang Biao and other ministers for inspection.

The generals felt that Guo Shao's words were justified. Li Chuyun said: "Chai Kehong is shrewd and clever, relying only on one person's knowledge, but he is not good at controlling too many people."

Guo Shao and others talked about it, then smiled and asked, "Do you think I have any strengths or weaknesses?"

Yang Biao said: "Big brother is good at seizing the fighter and hitting it with one blow!"

Zuo You muttered: "Taking righteousness and boosting morale. I feel that the lord's proposal to end the civil war and fight for the people of the world is very good. The ancients said that this is the way to use the king to fight against injustice."

Wang Zhang laughed and said: "I say that it is not for Guo Dashuai. Then Li Zhongjin said that Dashuai Guo was soft-hearted and could not lead soldiers. I really feel that the lord is sometimes too kind...just like the battle to break Shouzhou City. I am afraid that you are the only one who slaughtered the city, Mr. Guo..."

Li Chuyun said: "The most important point is that my Da Zhou army is obviously more brave and good at fighting than the Southern Tang soldiers."

"Let me talk about myself." Guo Shao said.

Everyone quieted down and listened respectfully.

Unexpectedly, Guo Shao just said calmly: "I am good at archery."

"Haha..." Everyone was taken aback first, and then burst into laughter again.

Guo Shao didn't leave the military commander Qi Jian on the right side, and sent someone to send him away. The generals also dispersed, each to stare at their camp building.

Haozhou City has not yet been encircled, and there are a large number of Nantang troops outside the city and on the river. Guo Shao hasn't looked around for the time being. He stayed honestly in the Chinese army camp, thinking about Chai Kehong and other things.

He tapped his fingers on the chopping board a few times unconsciously, and said to himself: He just said that Chai Kehong was not good at controlling most people, and he didn't seem to be good at it.

At present, although Guo Shao is the headquarters of the infantry school, only the left side of the Tiger Jie army, which is about 20,000 people, is actually controlled by himself, but the spread range is no longer in sight. Guo Shao said that he has no way of knowing how the generals of this era control their subordinates... Maybe Gao Huaide is a family general who knows that his father will definitely teach his son various skills; but the general will certainly not have the leisure to teach outsiders.

To do well in all walks of life, there are some skills and some insights. It depends on the experience of the predecessors and also on my own experience. No matter how talented a person is, he will do something if he is not born.

Guo Shao thought about it and decided to change the status quo.

Use messengers and military orders to establish a simple command system. Guo Shao asked someone to engrave eighty-eight wooden seals, and then selected hundreds of "soldiers" from the lower camp who were eliminated by the elite regular army to form a messenger.

These troops are equivalent to the troops in the field. They usually have no salary. After being told that they will become a messenger, they will be the regular establishment of the Tiger Jie Army. They are treated the same as the soldiers and soldiers, and many people are willing to join. However, Guo Shao personally led the generals to review these soldiers. He didn't require being brave and strong. As long as he was clever, he could say a few paragraphs for them to repeat. As long as he explained the main idea clearly, he was qualified.

Then each person issued three order flags and put them on their backs to distinguish combat soldiers.

Prepared properly, Guo Shao summoned dozens of generals from the left side to the Chinese army for discussion. First take the wooden seal and let them see. There are two kinds of seals.

The first type contains twelve pieces, six pieces each for the generals and the Chinese army, each with only one word, "loyalty, courage, military, faith, righteousness, victory", which were issued to the military school. The second type is to issue thirty-eight pieces to the commander, with two words engraved on it, "Zhong Jia", "Zhong B", "Zhong C" and so on.

Guo Shao said: "Every time before a battle, a lottery is taken. Which one is caught. You must not reveal your seal or ask others about it. If you encounter an emergency army before the lottery, the words caught last time will be your proof."

"All ministries report military information and the Chinese army issues military orders, they must be stamped. If the words are not correct, the military order is invalid, so you can ignore it."

"Of course, the first word of the commander is loyal, brave, military, and righteous victory. After the lottery, it may be different from the military school’s character. Remember how many military newspapers were issued on that day and write numbers each time to prevent military orders and military newspapers from getting in. Lost halfway."

Guo Shao appointed Zuo You as the marching counsellor on the spot, responsible for writing and receiving military orders; and also ordered Tan Shitou as the commander of the messenger, responsible for sending the messenger, and the dozens of remaining people under his hand were incorporated into the messenger to receive military pay; Luo Mengzi still led a personal team of 300 people.

Tan Shitou led his troops to escape during the attack on Shouzhou, and was almost ordered by Li Zhongjin to rectify the Fa on the spot. Later, Guo Shao pleaded for mercy and was spared... and performed bravely during the siege, and was exonerated after half of the people died. . His son was originally the head, but he was burned to death by the fierce oil. Tan Shitou was directly appointed as the head of the camp by Guo Shao. Later, he followed Guo Shao and was loyal, so Guo Shao now trusts him very much.

It is said that the cavalry side was screened and eliminated, and they were all brave men. However, some of the people Guo Shao wanted to eliminate were re-incorporated into the Forbidden Army system. He didn't seem to care about who they were.

No matter what, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, even if the soldiers were eliminated by the Forbidden Army, is better than the old men in Wufang Town that used to be. Therefore, Guo Shao did not dislike it, as long as it was soldiers.

... Guo Shao took out a batch of flags embroidered with tiger patterns that he had used for the "show" last time, asked people to embroider the numbers of the army, and then distributed them to everyone.

In the several camps that were built for a while, there were tiger flags flying everywhere. Although it was a bit nondescript, it was still domineering. It seemed that the tiger had become the symbol of the Tigers... The Tigers had nothing to do with the tigers, because they were not called before. The name of Tiger Jiejun was changed after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty; just as the cavalry was called Xiaodijun before, the name was changed, and the people were still the same people.

Soon after, Gao Huaide led the right arm to Haozhou.

Gao Huaide found that Guo Shao had repaired the camp and the fortifications. He was very trouble-free and directly stationed the army in the built camp.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, town soldiers, and town soldiers transferred from Shouzhou arrived in Haozhou. For a time, there were more and more people outside Haozhou City. Guo Shao then ordered the construction of two siege fortifications.

Tang Jun stood still, and Zhou Jun didn't move. The soldiers were working all day long, preparing various equipment.

In mid-October, the emperor led the soldiers of the inner hall straight, the east-west squad, and the crane control army to visit Haozhou. Found that there was a Tang army stationed on the northwest river beach, immediately ordered Qi Tingyi to attack the Tang army.

The righteous Qi Ting called "Qi Tuo." He really took his soldiers and rode a camel to rush through the moat outside the southern Tang military fortifications. Then the army covered and killed them and broke the southern Tang fortifications and captured 3,000 people.

Chai Rong was overjoyed, and Sheng Qituo became the left-wing capital school of the Tiger Jiejun Army, filling the vacancy of the left-wing capital school.

Guo Shao used to serve as the left-wing capital school, and the commander of the post-Jianji promoted army division. It turned out that the position had been vacant. The emperor ordered it himself, and there was no way to resist it.
