Chang Cheng sent troops from the West Sea and kept an eye on Gao Shun.
Although it is said that the position of military supervisor was developed in the Song Dynasty, it actually existed in the Han Dynasty.
Chang Cheng is not in name a supervisor of the army, he only serves as Gao Shun's rear army co-manager, but his actual role is to supervise the army. Although he cannot command Gao Shun beyond his level, nor openly oppose Gao Shun, he can
Keeping an eye on Gao Shun, monitoring Gao Shun's every move, monitoring every instruction Gao Shun makes, monitoring everyone around Gao Shun, everything...
Some people feel it doesn't matter if they are stared at.
Some people even find it exciting and like to be stared at.
Gao Shun was one of those people who didn't like being stared at. He quickly realized something was wrong.
Those military academies that used to be able to chat with Gao Shun now avoid Gao Shun, pretending not to see him if they can, saying hello if they can, even if they have to deal with military affairs, they do their best to do so.
The time was shortened and I didn't dare to stay longer in Gaoshun's tent. On the contrary, Chang Cheng in the logistics department was laughing and laughing every day.
This is a bit like bullying in school. Although Gao Shun is very strong in martial arts, he is like a foreigner. On the surface, he seems to be indifferent, but in fact, he is constantly being stared at, and a group of people are talking behind his back.
Jigugu. Not everyone participates in bullying, but most people choose to do more rather than less.
Gao Shun only has fifty people in his headquarters, and the rest are soldiers from Xihai City. These Xihai City soldiers will definitely have to live in Xihai City in the future, so when they see the local overlord of Xihai City, he behaves differently than Gao Shun, a foreigner.
How many people will speak up when faced with a situation? Most people, even the keyboard warrior who usually likes to comment the most, remain silent, as if he forgot to bring his keyboard.
Several scouts came at a gallop and brought a horse thief alive.
After the interrogation, Gao Shun showed a slightly stunned look on his face.
After a while, Gao Shun called Chang Cheng, "I have received news that horse thieves want to conquer the West Sea."
"What?!" Chang Cheng was shocked.
Chang Cheng thought that Gao Shun called him here to argue with him about his surveillance behavior. He was ready to retort, and even secretly laughed at Gao Shun to see if he was too suspicious, too nervous, etc., for example
A slap, such as knocking on the door in the middle of the night, etc...
But what Chang Cheng didn't expect was that Gao Shun actually said that it was horse thieves who wanted to attack Xihai City!
"How is this possible?!" Chang Cheng felt ridiculous for a moment, "General Gao, don't joke... This horse thief, haha, how is it possible?"
Gao Shun waved his hand, "Bring it up!"
Under the tent, someone escorted a horse thief up.
Gao Shun pointed, "Chang Sima, you ask yourself."
Of course the result is true.
This is the tongue caught by the scout.
Chang Cheng confirmed again and again, and then he was so frightened that he almost peed.
"Xihai City must not make any mistakes! This matter must be reported to the general as soon as possible!" Chang Cheng was sweating on his head and his face was pale.
Gao Shun glanced at Chang Cheng and said, "I want to lead the troops to attack, but Chang Sima can return on his own."
But what Gao Shun didn't expect was that after shaking for a while, Chang Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "No! Now the order of the Great Protector is for the general to defeat the horse thieves in the forward camp. However, the situation has changed now, and the horse thieves will sweep into Xihai City.
, it is already inconsistent with the situation ordered by the Protector before! Therefore, we must report back to the Protector and wait for the Protector to make a decision!"
Gao Shun shook his head, "Since Dadu protector ordered me to fight, is there any reason to retreat without fighting? Could it be that Chang Sima is too timid to fight?"
Gao Shun narrowed his eyes and decided that if Chang Cheng dared to stop him, he would be whipped thirty times even if he didn't kill him.
Unfortunately, Chang Cheng realized the danger and immediately changed his tune, saying that of course he would obey Gao Shun's military orders and Gao Shun would move on if Gao Shun wanted to move forward. However, as a logistics coordinator, he also had the responsibility to report new situations to the Metropolitan Protector in a timely manner.
.
In this case, of course Gao Shun could not do anything to Chang Cheng.
Gao Shun has a steel-like character and is extremely upright. Although he can't stand it and even hates Chang Cheng, as long as Chang Cheng doesn't violate the rules, Gao Shun will not go out of his way to make things difficult or make trouble for Chang Cheng.
A new military order was sent from Xihai City, ordering Gao Shun to lead the front army to set off to investigate the situation, while Chang Cheng, as the rear army, stayed in place and made a decision after the situation became clear.
Gao Shun looked at this military order and felt a little ridiculous.
Gao Shun felt that this did not seem to be Lu Bu's habit...
He felt that if Lu Bu knew about this, he would definitely be furious and lead the army directly into battle!
A mere horse thief actually made trouble on Tai Sui's head?
So this military order was probably what Wei Xu meant. But Gao Shun didn't say much, because military orders are military orders. It can't be said that Gao Shun refused to carry out military orders because he had doubts. He was upright and never disdained to give in, but like this
character, but it may not be a good thing.
Moreover, Gao Shun felt that even if the horse thieves were powerful, they were still just horse thieves. In addition, Gao Shun did not like some of the military academies in the previous army. They were timid and afraid of getting into trouble, or they were a little in line with others, so the division of troops allowed Gao Shun to
More comfortable. Gao Shun also specially selected those military academies who were not following Chang Cheng all day long, and brought his own troops, plus two scout light cavalry brigades, totaling more than 300 people, to lead the army out.
Gao Shun felt that even if there were only 300 people, he could still defeat those horse thieves. Chang Cheng's people were more like a supply force to Gao Shun. It would be better if they could help. If they couldn't help, they just needed to grow stronger.
Just build momentum and provide supplies.
However, changes on the battlefield often catch people off guard.
Just like Matthew in the forward camp, he also felt that things were changing too fast, which annoyed him.
Forward camp.
Now it has become a paradise for horse thieves.
Crowds of horse thieves were shouting and screaming in the camp, and people were shouting and neighing. It was so lively, it was like a grand festival.
Perhaps this is indeed a festival for horse thieves.
Compared with the time of the Han army, the forward camp at this time was full of chaos.
After Ma Xiu had collected the "loots" once, the horse thieves who came later, big and small, collected them again and again. In the end, even the wooden boards and even nails originally used by the Han army to build their camps were not included.
, have all become "trophies" in a sense for these horse thieves.
"Grandpa was also in the Han army's camp, coming and going! Look, these are the items of the Han army that I captured! Ha, even if you look at it, it is just a board. You don't know, this is the table | bed | used by the Han commanders.
Token|……』
For a time, countless horse thieves were wandering around the camp with these thoughts, and then looked for anything that could be used to add glory to themselves, even a piece of wood or a stone.
Just like you haven't killed a tiger yourself, but you can get some tiger bones and tiger teeth, it's something worth bragging about.
Are you a horse thief? If you don't drink or brag, what else can you call a horse thief?
Ma Xiu is also a horse thief. Although he always thinks that he is a member of Ma's army, his essence is still a horse thief.
So he also has the problem of being a horse thief...
Drink and brag.
Normally, drinking and bragging is not a big problem, but sometimes it can cause big trouble...
Now, Matthew is in trouble.
He found it for himself.
Matthew stood under the banner of Dao Tian, raising his head and watching the flag fluttering in the wind, with countless thoughts.
In the past two days, his name has indeed been publicized, attracting many thieves who are either watching or participating.
Matthew's original plan was good.
There are too many grievances and hatreds in the Western Regions.
When Zhang Qian was sent as an envoy to the Western Regions, he said that there were thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, but in fact it was more than thirty-six?
There are mountainous deserts to the north and south of the Western Region, and in the middle there is also an uninhabited area of the Gobi Desert. Only along the foot of the mountains and irrigated by the melted snow water from the mountains can the conditions for human survival exist. So speaking of it, the relatively closed environment of the Western Region,
It is more like a greedy snake connected head to tail, devouring each other. When many countries in the Western Regions conquered others, their butts were stabbed by others.
Perhaps the origins of the Western Regions themselves are very complex, and the national habits are also quite different, so they have never been able to unify. In such a chaotic situation, the Western Regions have never been internally unified for hundreds of thousands of years, which means that they can only be forced by external forces.
The fate of the enemy's repeated conquests. From the Xiongnu, to Parthia, from Kushan, to the Han Dynasty, the states of the Western Regions, large and small, rose up in this cycle, then declined, rose again, declined again, and the cycle continued.
In this process, the country has been subjugated, the family has been destroyed, and the clan has been exterminated. The hatred between the country and the family is naturally deep-rooted. Just like the Murong clan in the Eight Tribes of the Sky, and in the Western Region, there is not only one Murong clan?
Over the past hundreds of years, there have been at least dozens, even hundreds, of "Murong clan" of various sizes!
"Hatred," Matthew muttered, looking up at the flag, "Hate is a good thing... He can make people endure pain, double their endurance, sweat and bleed, and do whatever it takes..."
"Our plan is not wrong..." Matthew said with some embarrassment, "It's just that there is some... um, a little trouble..."
Pound stood aside, listening, silently.
A thief is a thief. Sneak attacks and stabbings in the waist are a thief's specialty. He is very good at it. He can also jump left and right, in and out, and perform all kinds of dazzling tricks. But if he really wants to go into battle, he is very good at it.
If soldiers fight positional warfare, thieves will definitely suffer.
Therefore, the longer Matthew stays in the forward camp, the higher the risk.
Matthew is very aware of this kind of risk worry, but at the same time, he also hopes that his banner of "walking for heaven" will be brighter and more famous...
Sometimes a person's head and upper body can have the intellectual advantage, and sometimes a person's butt and lower body dominate a person's instinct. Now Matthew's upper and lower bodies are fighting.
Reason tells him that you are becoming more and more popular now, and it is time for you to take the wind, but desire tells him that if you don't take a chance now, where will you wait?
Is it a big hit?
It becomes clear just by looking at the various types of people who have gathered here in the past two days.
The Han Dynasty has not appeared in the Western Regions for so many years. When people like Lu Bu come, can the people in the Western Regions immediately turn their heads and worship? Even if Lu Bu is tyrannical and cannot be offended for a while, most people must take it orally.
He was also dissatisfied. In addition, Lu Bu didn't even want to meddle in his own affairs, let alone have any thoughts about the previous grudges and feuds in the Western Regions, and the disputes between large and small families and countries?
After Lu Bu came to the Western Regions, he was too hard-hearted to be convinced and too soft-hearted to do well. Matthew took advantage of this opportunity to raise this banner.
Not to mention, it is indeed quite attractive.
After Matthew put up a banner and said that he would uphold justice for these people with grudges and grudges, which is the so-called "justice for heaven", he immediately attracted many people to come, whether they were in urgent need of medical treatment or not.
Or maybe the dead horse was treated as a living horse doctor, they gathered here sporadically and bowed to Matthew.
He calls himself brother...
Uh, it's a cross-over.
No matter what, Ma Xiu also showed his strength and defeated Lu Bu's army that once ran rampant in the Western Regions!
Even if it is a forward camp, isn't it still part of Lu Bu's army?
In addition, these people came here not because they really thought that Matthew was a good person or famous, but because of different reasons, and there were more calculations to get here, even if they couldn't use Matthew's help.
If you are famous, you can also sign up for a group to keep warm. You can find some helpers to further your "big plan" of revenge.
Did Matthew really want to "do justice for heaven"?
Just kidding, how is that possible?
Matthew's original purpose was not to overthrow Lu Bu's "brutal rule", but just to gain some fame and make some money for himself, because only in this way could he continue to gain a foothold among the horse thieves in the Western Regions, but now...
Matthew also has hatred, and the hatred between the hussars.
If it hadn't been for that damn Fei Qian back then, maybe it would have been Ma who is now dominating the third position in Chang'an!
Can this hatred be let go?
Matthew once thought he had let go, but now he realized that he was just hiding. Now he was drawn out, raising dust all over the sky.
"If you want to achieve something big, you need to work harder..." Matthew sighed.
Pang De frowned deeply, "Young Master, what big deal are you talking about? Could it be... you are drunk..."
"Ha, yes, I was drunk, but..." Matthew's voice became softer, and then turned around, "But now... oh, this thing..."
When Pang De heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the flag above his head, "Young Master, I'm not saying anything discouraging, this flag, these people... just take a look, don't take it seriously! If something happens, these people are simply unreliable! Don't worry about it.
How kindly you call me brother now, these people will definitely be the first to run away when the time comes!"
Matthew was drunk before, and he didn't know if he had been thinking about it all the time, or just on a whim, he actually shouted the slogan of marching to Xihai City, which of course caused a burst of excitement from the crowd to howling like wolves and ghosts.
After sobering up, Matthew felt a little regretful, but he was embarrassed to say that what I said before was just drunken talk. Can I take what I said at the wine table seriously and wait for him to shirk it? After all, if he shirks it, this big shot of "walking for heaven" will
The flag is no longer standing so firmly.
But if you really take such a group of people to attack Xihai City, it is true that there are many people, but a mob...
Matthew was silent for a while, "How about... wait two more days, and I will recruit some more people... This is a good opportunity, the people from Kushan will be here soon..."
The people from Kushan are indeed coming soon.
The Kushan envoys had previously promised to give Matthew some benefits in order to stir up chaos in the Western Regions, but they did not expect that Matthew would be able to win and capture Lu Bu's forward camp!
This surprised the Kushan envoy.
After being surprised, there was also some embarrassment because the things the Kushan envoy promised to give were not yet fully prepared.
After all, Kushan is now in a precarious situation, and it has long lost the majesty of the early years. Otherwise, the Kushan envoys would not have come to Matthew to act as thugs. They would have just come...
But now Matthew doesn't know this. He just knows that since he has completed the goal, he can naturally get rewards from Kushan. Then Matthew wants to use these rewards to upgrade equipment, recruit some good players, and then there will be
Greater fame, greater power, and a better tomorrow.
So no matter what, we have to wait until the Kushan envoy arrives before we can leave.
Pang De thought for a while and nodded, but still persuaded: "Young Master, if you stay for one more day now, it will be a day's risk..."
Matthew nodded, "I know, I know..."
On the other side, Matthew himself didn't quite believe the bullshit he was bragging about, but some people did.
In other words, I pretended to believe it.
"Isn't this Commander Ma? When are you going to attack Xihai City?!"
A middle-aged man with a small head shouted loudly when he saw Matthew approaching.
Matthew smiled, ignored it, and continued to move forward.
"Yes, Chief Ma, when will we attack Xihai City?"
Another person a little further away also shouted.
Matthew's smile became a little stiff.
Bragging is not a good thing, and bragging after drinking is not a good thing, and these are not the worst. The worst thing is that Matthew boasted in front of so many people...
Horse thieves have never had any concept of superiority and inferiority, only strength and weakness.
Matthew wanted to take this opportunity to establish himself as the leader among the horse thieves in the Western Regions, but would the other horse thieves be so willing to fall at his feet? Even this time Matthew conquered the Han forward camp, and under some experienced veterans
The horse thieves who arrived could also see that there were some problems.
The Han army did not have a large number of war horses. Whether it was the trophies in the later period or the damage during the battle, it showed that the Han army that Ma Xiu defeated this time was more like a weak one, or the Han army cavalry had been transferred away.
's camp.
Therefore, in the minds of these horse thieves, Matthew may be "fraudulent".
Horse thief, can't you have a "free" heart, right?
Therefore, of course there are some people who are not convinced that Matthew takes advantage of the opportunity to make a big splash, and these unconvinced people will not conflict with Matthew in person, but they will grab Matthew's pigtail and pull it a few times.
It's still something they like to hear and see.
After all, Matthew was younger. After being asked several times along the way, his face became a little confused. When someone from Kushan asked him when he would attack Xihai City, Matthew was completely speechless.
That he just drank too much and spoke nonsense?
Then the flag he finally erected will collapse immediately. No one will remember all his previous efforts and related contributions. They will only remember that he bragged, but ended up being timid again, and then he could not be said to be in the Western Regions.
, there will be legends about him bragging in twenty or thirty years...
"Fight! Still have to fight!"
Matthew gritted his teeth.
Pound on the side closed his eyes.
"Ling Ming..." Matthew said in an almost pleading voice, "I know that I like to talk nonsense... I will definitely change it! I will definitely change it! But... this time, this time I have to fight, otherwise
...Otherwise, let alone others, our own troops and horses will lose our temper and lose heart!"
Pang De shook his head, "If you attack Xihai City, you will die."
Matthew waved his hands repeatedly, "No, I'm not really going to fight... I'm pretending, just pretending... Just like this flag, it needs to be loud! Loud can attract people! We have just blown it now... uh, announced it, always
Can’t you say it’s going to collapse now?」
Pound was speechless for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.
