Gao Shun set out.
In the tug-of-war between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, Che Shi was actually like a fence-bearing man, and he would surrender to the other side until he gradually perished.
The sorrow of a small country is generally the case.
However, because the Cheshi is separated from the remaining lineage of the Tianshan Mountains, south of the Tianshan Mountains is the front country, north of the Tianshan Mountains is the rear part. The passage connecting the middle is called another place.
There are roads, mountains, rivers, valleys, gates, and passes in other places.
『Jinzi Mountain, Laohe, Shangxiadian Valley, Shizimen, Qiongdabankou... Finally, Wutu Valley...』
Gao Shun looked at the map.
This road is not easy to walk on. Perhaps it is precisely because of such a difficult road that the rear of the Cheshi Division has always felt that it is safe and the Han army will not come.
Gao Shun came, but he was suffering from illness, and his injuries had not yet healed.
Gao Shun had sent a provocate to check it out, and with the information from the original guide, he also confirmed that the Cheshi people did have troops stationed in the Jinzishan Valley area.
It is said that there is gold in the mountains and rivers. Some people also find some golden sand in the valleys. However, because the output is not very large, not many people go there. It is just that some local people from the Cheshi have not had any shopping, which has formed a small city, or township.
Gao Shun sent someone to surrender before, but I don’t know if it was because of Che Shi himself being brave, Che Shi people who thought the Han people were timid, or for some other reason, the Che Shi people here in the Jinzi Valley drove away Gao Shun’s messenger.
Then there is nothing to say.
But this weather...
Gao Shun looked up at the still gloomy sky and frowned.
Unfortunately, most arch-protectors did not listen to advice, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the blast of gunpowder when they came again in summer.
"Report! No abnormalities were found in front of you!" The scout led the team to report.
Gao Shun put away the map and looked up.
At this time, the soldiers who crossed the river first had already reached the surrounding high places and then raised a green flag representing safety. According to the military code of the Cavalry, any obstacles that occur, rivers, valleys, mountains and dense forests must be sent to detect and explore first, and then use red and green flags to indicate whether it is safe, so that the army can follow up.
In the past, only generals understood such things. Then those veterans who had fought in the army could pass on them. But now, Cao Dian is in hand, and even if they do it step by step according to the regulations on Cao Dian, they are more or less fifty.
A detection like the moment, a situation where a cannon sounds in the plain and is surrounded by people, basically won't happen.
Gao Shun glanced at him and saw that there were flags representing safety above the high points on the route of traffic. He nodded and said, "Send the order and start crossing the river."
Immediately, the personal guards around Gao Shun unfolded their flags and pointed at the military formation in the front, then raised the signal flag representing the direction. At the same time, the sound of drums came out, indicating that there was a new order to attract the attention of the officers around them.
On the front line, the military academy raised the flag and began to issue orders. Then a short whistle sounded, and then crossed the river in sequence. The first one crossed the river was the sword and shield, and the second part was the archer. When the soldiers in these two parts began to expand outward to establish a front, the subsequent soldiers and horses followed one after another.
Gao Shun only brought two thousand people.
One thousand Han soldiers, one thousand vassal soldiers.
He didn't ask for more soldiers. On the one hand, Gao Shun felt that although there were tens of thousands of soldiers in the back of the Che Division, most of them were counted as old and weak, and ordinary herders. The only ones who could fight were only thousands of soldiers, so two thousand soldiers were enough. On the other hand, it was also because this road was to cross the Tianshan Mountains. Although it was not as rugged and difficult as from Guanzhong to Sichuan and Shu, it could not drive smoothly. If there were too many people, it might be in the way.
After the central army crossed the river, the scouts who continued to move forward in the front received new information.
After Gao Shun looked at it, he ordered the soldiers to let the leaders of various parts gather in the central army.
The military academies in the front and rear areas, as well as the leader of the vassal soldiers, Kaza, came.
The vassal Kaza, of course, his name is not just two syllables, but a total of more than a dozen syllables. Because it is too long, no one can remember it at all. Perhaps even his own relatives may not be able to call it all, so no matter who it is, they call him the first two simplest syllables. Kaza. Kaza said that his father was once the Shache royal family, but later the country was destroyed by Shule's people...
Well, the situation in the Western Regions is very chaotic. Perhaps for thousands of years, in the Western Regions, only land is eternal, and kingdoms of all sizes are passers-by.
Gao Shun expanded the map and several people gathered in front of the map.
Gao Shun pointed and said, "We are here now... after crossing this river, it is Jinzishan City. There are soldiers from the Cheshi Division stationed in the city. This point must be defeated, otherwise even if we advance, our flanks will be threatened."
The Forward Military Academy said: "Did they find us? Are the city defenses strong? Is it feasible to raid the city?"
"There are detectives who have come into contact with the Cheshi..." said the scout leader, "They should have discovered that we are here."
"Even if you don't find it, it's not easy to break the city." Gao Shun said, "This city is built on the hillside. It's best to attract them out. So... Kaza, you can do it if you cheat and lure the enemy into battle?"
Kaza thought for a while, "Okay, General, are you going to set out now?"
Gao Shun looked at the sky, "It's getting late, so I'll set up camp today and fight tomorrow."
The military academy and others responded, and a military marquis in the Central Army asked: "Please decide the position of the Central Army camp."
Gao Shun looked up at the front and saw a relatively flat area, with a relatively appropriate distance from the river and the forest. He stretched out his hand and pointed, "Use this place as the central military position, spread it in four directions, and set up the camp according to the flag."
The leaders of the front and back military camps and vassals saluted and returned to their respective headquarters.
Then, the central army part of Gao Shun moved slowly and arrived at the slightly flattering area set by Gao Shun. Then, under the escort of Gao Shun's personal soldiers, he first set up a general flag representing the Central Army's command, and then expanded in four directions and set the location of the four camps.
Because it is a temporary cavalry camp, there is no need to set up a solid village wall like an infantry camp, but there must be a necessary refusal.
As each department unfolds in four directions, the call from the military academy non-commissioned officers also sounds one after another.
The soldiers took out a few three-foot javelins from the accompanying baggage, and then tied them together to form a simple horse-rejecting rack to till it on the ground, then cut down trees from the nearby woods, put the crossbar on the rack, and then made it.
This kind of horse-rejecting rejection is simple and convenient, but the problem is also convenient. In order to make it not so convenient to reject the horse, caltrops will be added around the horse-rejecting rejection. Generally, five caltrops are used, connected in series with ropes, and then thrown on the side of the horse-rejecting rejection. It is also easier to collect when you leave the next day.
This simple way of camping is to field cavalry camps, which can advance or retreat, and resist horses mainly to guard against enemy pig raids, but if you say that it has defensive power, there is really not much.
The black green flag with patterns was raised in various camps, and the soldiers who were preparing to go to the water source gathered under the black green flag. After verification by the captain, they received the number sign for water collection to fetch water into the river not far away.
Others use cut wood to smoke the ground to drive away insects. This way, you can get a dry and safer ground for rest at night.
A group of people was a bonfire, and after the water was taken back, they started to use dry wood to raise the heat and cook the dried meat. Cut the bacon into diced cubes and put them in the water to cook. After the water boils, pour in powdered dry food. Finally, add some wild vegetables dug up around, stir it a few times, and then add two hard dry buns for each person, or roast them on fire, or soak them in the hot soup. This is everyone's dried meat.
Everything is not necessary to be explained in detail, and it is done in an orderly manner. This is the heritage of the veteran...
However, there are also some discordant notes.
During these processes, the soldiers went back and forth, although most of the movements were engraved in the muscle memory, because they had not received effective training for a long time, some soldiers seemed to be breathless and tired after such simple work.
This made Gao Shun quite worried when he saw it.
You know, how long has it been?
Lu Bu was defeated that year and there were not many soldiers in his hands. At least half of the soldiers Fei Qian supplemented Lu Bu were veterans of Liangzhou, Bingzhou, which Fei Qian collected. These veterans killed the Xianbei and screamed. When Lu Bu arrived in the early stage of the Western Regions, he defeated all the countries in the Western Regions.
But now...
It seems that the airs are still there, but its core power seems to be empty.
Gao Shun even felt even more unhappy when he saw some Han cavalry that looked even more tired than the vassals. "These people really need to train well..."
Gao Shun stood up and signaled slightly, "Purchase the camp."
"General, do you have to remove your armor first?" Gao Shun's personal guard asked. He was worried that Gao Shun's injuries had not fully recovered, so he did not dare to stop Gao Shun from injured the patrol camp, but removing armor could reduce the burden on his body.
Gao Shun waved his hand and walked forward silently.
His personal guards can only keep up.
After Gao Shun and his personal guards walked around, they immediately sounded the order to summon the military academy in the central army tent.
Military academy officers from various camps came one after another.
Gao Shun's central army tent is also very simple, it is just a little larger than ordinary tents. The number of people coming to the military academies is a little more embarrassing and crowded.
Gao Shun was silent and glanced at him one by one.
"Chen Sanlang, it took three quarters of an hour for your men to build a camp! Your team is the slowest in the entire camp! Are you and your team's trotters growing on the lower half of your arms?!"
The smile on Chen Sanlang's face suddenly froze, and then his head lowered.
"Ma Changsheng! Your subordinates can fall off three times when they are pushing their horses! Three times! Even monkeys can do better than your subordinates!"
"And you! Lu Silang! Your soldiers carry water and carry wood and lean against the side like a woman, panting! Why don't you touch if there are eggs underneath?"
"What are you laughing at, Kaza? The ditch dug in your camp can be full by urinating. You think that your subordinates are all rats, and you can't use it so much that you can't use it so much?!"
Everyone's heads were all drooping.
Gao Shun looked around and said, "You were temporarily assigned to my subordinates... I didn't care about anything before. Military rules are military rules here! Military rules are military rules! If you feel that you can't stand up, you can clean up and get back now. It's not far from the Great Protector, and it's only a day's road! Is anyone going to get out? Stand out! I'll give you this opportunity now!"
Gao Shun cursed very vulgarly, but in the army, it was actually just a trick. In addition, Gao Shun was originally responsible for training soldiers in Lu Bu's army. At the same time, what Gao Shun said was true, so he did not dare to blow up the thorns at all. Even if Gao Shun scolded him as a pig, dog, and monkey, everyone would shrink their heads and remain silent.
After all, Gao Shun scolded them all for not doing well. If they really left, where could they go? They said that they were camping out of order and were beaten by Gao Shun, and then they ran back. Then they were beaten to death by Lu Bu?
Gao Shun waited for a while, and nodded, "Since that's the case... remember your current choice... Chen Sanlang!"
Chen Sanlang shivered and immediately stood up, "The little one is here!"
Gao Shun drew out a flag and threw it to Chen Sanlang, "In the first half of the night tonight, your team suddenly roams outside! Five miles away from the camp, twenty people on each side!"
The value of the hunch means setting up a secret sentry, setting up an ambush, and detecting movements. For example, the simple cavalry camps like the current one without a village wall are actually more often attacking instead of defense. Once there is movement in the outside world, they move in sequence, and they can turn from static in a blink of an eye...
Of course, this is when Gao Shun was commanding. If a leader who generally does not know how to control the commander, he may have been touched by someone and still doesn’t know what happened.
"Lu Silang, you're late at night!"
"Ma Changsheng! Your team is traveling far away with twenty people, but they will not be collected at night! Five people on each side!"
"Kaza, at night, sent a hundred people to two teams to the Central Army to patrol the battalions with me!"
Everyone stepped forward to take the flag.
Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "Tonight's command, "Golden River is out of the reverse"! At night, fifty people are left in each camp, holding bows and crossbows. Anyone who has no tokens outside the camp and has different commands shall not enter! Those who do not listen to and hold back, shoot them! After the drums and trumpets at night, they shall not be allowed to make noises. Anyone who has strange words and deeds disturbs the camp, the light will be whipped, and the heavy will be cut! The others will be implemented according to the regulations, so I don't need to talk nonsense! Start cooking tomorrow at 3 o'clock and set off at 2 o'clock in the morning. After getting back, you should change it immediately, and then follow the order to be on duty! What other problems are there?"
Everyone looked at each other but didn't say anything.
"I will take you to fight, not only to bring you back victory! I will also take you back! I will sweat more often and bleed less during wartime! I will forget the teachings of the cavalry!" Gao Shun shouted in a low voice, "Today is a warning. If you commit again tomorrow, you will be dealt with according to the law! Do you understand?"
Everyone responded with a loud bang.
In such a short period of time, everyone's momentum seemed to be a little different...
In the Jinzihe City, the smell is stenched in the shed near the city wall.
Some chariots cooked food outside the shed, chatting and laughing loudly, and did not seem to take the approaching war seriously.
The leader of the Cheshi master was wearing a shiny armor, and then he was patrolling with several guards with high spirits.
These Cheshi people expressed respect to the Cheshi Leader and his party. After all, not everyone can wear armor these days. Such armor is enough to buy dozens of acres of land and three or four thatched huts. Even if they don’t know Cheshi Leader, they naturally know such armor.
Among the shacks on both sides, there would occasionally be screaming from women, and then there would be men queuing outside the shack, laughing and jogging outside the shack...
Jinzihe, there are many gold hunters, and there is always some demand. Of course, there is a market.
Those who come to Jinzi River to hunt for gold are basically proletarians of Cheshi, or greedy people who long to get rich. For these people, there is no law at all, and naturally they will not take war seriously.
If there is really a war, they will run away.
But before the war could burn their eyebrows, even the king of heaven could not stop them from rushing gold in the river!
The gold in the Jinzi River is not golden sand, but combined with rocks similar to sand and conglomerate, so these people made a large number of stone mills to break these rocks that are not very strong, and then use running water to rush gold...
The history of gold rush has been a long time ago, and no one knows when it will begin.
Anyway, most of the gold jewelry of Cheshiren were found from this river, but in the past, gold might be easier to obtain. As the surface exposed mines were gradually hollowed out, the amount of gold in the Jinzi River was as empty and lonely as after just making an 888 package in the Bathing City.
Because gold digging itself is prone to various problems, such as killing people and robbing gold, there are also many regular soldiers in Jinzihe City, all under the management of the leader of the Cheshi. These people act as stable leverage in this area, so that they will not be completely trapped in unnecessary greed.
Most of the Cheshi people are Seme people. These Tocharis are primitive Indo-European races, and are a group of white people. They have larger bodies than yellow races, that is, Han people. However, because they are mixed with the Huns, Yuezhi and other races all year round, there are basically no completely pure races now, and they are in a very mixed state.
Because the people in the back of the Cheshi Division had a deep connection with the Huns before, and there was a gap between the important roads of the Tianshan Mountains, and the management of the Western Regions in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Cheshi people, especially many people in the back of the Cheshi Division, looked down on the surrender faction in the front of the Cheshi Division, and even there was a saying that the Cheshi Division surrendered to the Han people in the front of the Cheshi Division were all cowards.
Among the Cheshi people, there is a primitive worship. They think they are the God of Fire or the representative of the Sun God. Then those Cheshi people who surrendered to the Han people are naturally scum and dark things...
