I heard a loud promise from inside Huangfu Song's tent, and all the officers and generals in the tent immediately poured out of the tent one after another. Some ran forward, while others were on the same side greeting several people with the same mission.
While walking, we discussed the specific arrangements. In short, everyone's face was full of joy and excitement.
In any case, the battle of Chang'an seems to have shown the dawn of victory!
The sound of golden drums in the camp vibrated, and the flags fluttered. On the high sentry stand in the middle of the camp, a strong soldier was using all his strength to beat the war drums, and the dull sound of the drums
, like the heart beating inside the human body, causing the blood all over the body to start boiling little by little.
The civilians who were still busy near the camp all raised their heads in awe and looked at the scene in front of them. Since the fall of Tongguan, in just a few days, they had been dispatched by Yang Biao.
The various large and small docks in Hongnong were gathered together, and they were drawn from the more remote fields, and then organized into a team of civilians. At the same time, in addition to the pack horses, there were also ox carts and mule carts, and the mountains of materials were transported here.
, followed Zhao Wen to provide supplies to Huangfu Song.
Amidst the sound of the horns, were the light warriors who had been victorious in the battle of Tongguan. After experiencing that bloody battle, their expressions were naturally completely different from those of the troops supplemented by civilians. Although they were not marching in an orderly manner,
But the faint smell of blood still emanated, making the civilians near the camp lower their heads as if they had been stabbed by something, not daring to look directly at it.
Behind them are Huangfu Song's remaining battalions of soldiers and horses. Now that they have received a lot of new supplies, Huangfu Song's soldiers are not only in sufficient numbers, but their armor and equipment are more abundant and more important than before.
What's more, a thousand new cavalry were added, and they were combined with the original thousand cavalry. When they drove out with a roar, there was a bit of a galloping of ten thousand horses, which was already quite impressive.
This light cavalry formation is basically full of pride and pride. You must know that these Hongnong cavalry were originally good players in various large and small forts. Otherwise, they would not have any chance to practice riding skills. Now they have to
After Zhitong Pass was captured, the so-called elites in these Wubao gradually gathered together, fully equipped, and gathered together with Huangfu Song's original Hu cavalry. When they came out, there were really nearly two thousand light cavalry sweeping through Guanzhong.
The momentum is naturally indescribable and majestic and proud!
Huangfu Song still wore the same old armor. The color on the armor was quite dull, but the cloak was still bright blood red. When combined together, a huge flag was fluttering above his head, showing a majestic air.
Ascend.
But Zhao Wen behind him looked so inconspicuous.
Huangfu Song stood still on his horse and looked back at Zhao Wen who had sent him out. Huangfu Song had a calm look on his face, and Zhao Wen also looked respectful. They seemed to be in harmony with each other without any contradiction.
Huangfu Song bowed his hands to Zhao Wen and said: "The camp here is troublesome for Lao Zirou... The Xiliang thieves are stubborn and cruel. Although they have been defeated, if they are not eradicated, there is a fear that they will rekindle...
Zirou, stay in this camp for a while and wait for some good news!"
Zhao Wen seemed to have not heard the implication of Huangfu Song's words. He laughed, lowered his head and saluted: "Congratulations to General Huangfu! I wish the general an early triumph!"
Huangfu Song nodded, then lightly knocked his horse, his blood-red cloak billowing in the wind, and galloped away to the west.
Zhao Wen still lowered his head, but where no one could notice, his eyes were cold.
Huangfu Song didn't care about Zhao Wen at all, so he didn't even let Zhao Wen manage the logistics. Although Zhao Wen was asked to guard the camp, in fact, since Zheng County had surrendered, shouldn't grain, grass and ordnance still be piled in the open? Of course.
They were all transported to Zheng County and placed under the jurisdiction of the military academy that was previously sent to Zheng County to take over the defense. In addition, Huangfu Li, the nephew left behind by Huangfu Song, was stationed in Zheng County. This was almost equivalent to leaving an empty camp for Zhao Wen.
!
How can this not make Zhao Wen feel angry?
But what can Zhao Wen do?
Zhao Wen, who had left behind the troubles at the rear, did not mention that Huangfu's army had been heading west without stopping. The mixed formation of Hongnong cavalry and Southern Xiongnu cavalry had already surpassed the slow infantry and ran to the front of the army. At the same time,
As a scout, pass information along the way to the infantry behind.
Huangfu Song walked all the way, turning his head and shouting to the approaching generals and soldiers: "My sons! Chang'an is just around the corner! We only need to capture Xinfeng, then we will reach Chang'an! So that you can know that we can capture Chang'an."
, the reward is, needless to say, the merits of King Qin are enough for you to become your wife and your son, and compete for the next huge family fortune!"
Chang'an is just around the corner, and key words like reward and family fortune are what every soldier is thinking about. As soon as Huangfu Song said these words, there were bursts of cheers from left and right, and all the fatigue he felt during the march seemed to be gone.
A lot less...
Huangfu Song sat on the horseback and looked into the distance. In fact, at Huangfu Song's age, he no longer valued money. What he wanted was actually the continuation of the family and the reputation of the entire Huangfu family. The current man
How many people are capable of holding up the sky? What he has done now will probably be a highlight in history in the future. Thinking of this, Huangfusong couldn't help but smile.
Along the way, the Xiliang bandit soldiers seemed to have disappeared, and not even the scouts saw a few. Huangfu Song didn't care much, because from Zheng County to Xinfeng, and even to Chang'an, it was all flat land, so naturally
There are no suspicious hidden troops in valleys. As long as the left and right sides are clearly explored, the army will naturally move safely.
When I set out from Zheng County, all my worries gradually disappeared in my heart with the vastness of the sight on the road and the stability of the march. However, another thought gradually rose up and expanded to other things.
It's all a bit too much to tolerate.
Chang'an!
Capture Xinfeng and go straight to Chang'an!
In the early years of Zhongping, he fought against Quyang, beheaded Zhang Bao, and was granted the titles of Jizhou Mu, Huailihou, Shihuaili, and Meiyang counties. As many as 8,000 households could have their own food towns!
such a pity……
It was also a year apart at first.
Huangfusong couldn't help but look back to the northeast.
A loyal minister of the great Han Dynasty, a loyal minister of the great Han Dynasty...
How much have you paid for these four words? From Huaili to Duxiang, is there a difference between the two words? Doesn't Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty know how ridiculous the so-called reason of Zhongchang Shi Zhang Rang is? Lien Zhan has no success.
, a waste of money and food?
Hehe, hehe...
However, everything in front of him seemed to be happening again. The entire Han Dynasty seemed to have opened its arms to him, waiting for him to easily pick it up!
Now he has 20,000 troops. As long as he can enter Chang'an, Huangfu Song will immediately take over all the military power, and then rely on the reputation he has cultivated over the years to firmly hold it in his hands. By then, at least he will no longer have to look like
Life was so oppressive before, so there was no need to grovel to anyone!
Although the weather is getting warmer now, the sun is not too long. As I walked, I could see that the sun had already started to set in the west.
Marching in front of the enemy at night has always been a taboo for military strategists.
Therefore, under the order of the general who was responsible for commanding the front army, groups of scouts stretched out to detect the front, while the rest of the infantry gradually stopped. Under Huangfu Song's order, the entire army camped on the spot to rest.
.
Amid the sound of golden drum orders, groups of soldiers and horses marching along the road separated from the front to both sides of the road, leaving the middle road so that the baggage trucks behind could follow. At the same time, the scouts at the forefront
It extended farther and farther to the front and both wings, surveying the situation in a radius of thirty to forty miles.
After passing Zheng County, it is already a flat plain in Guanzhong, so there is no need to worry too much about choosing the terrain to set up camp. Anyway, they are almost the same, so we just set up camp on the spot according to the order of the troops and the formation.
When the two wings spread far enough, the order to set up camp had been sent to every soldier. Huangfusong's main force set up a huge camp about 120 miles away from Xinfeng, with Huangfusong in front and behind
The left, right, and center are divided into large camps. The troops commanded by the generals of each camp in the army are used as units to set up huge camps. The front camp is forward as a police post, and the two wings are mainly arranged for cavalry camps. The huge central army camp is located in the center.
, while shielding the weak rear camp behind the central camp.
Although it is not the kind of majestic camp surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is already a better arrangement on the flat ground. This arrangement ensures that the baggage and food of the rear camp are not exposed to the sight of the Xiliang Army in the west.
It also meets the standards of a camp in the wilderness, with enough passages between each camp. If viewed from the air, Huangfusong's entire camp looks like a blooming flower, also known as Wuhua.
Camp.
Huangfu Song's troops were still divided into three levels: regular soldiers, auxiliary soldiers and civilians according to the Han Dynasty's practice. Nearly 20,000 people were busy in this area. The scene was extremely spectacular. Now the cavalry on both wings spread out a huge fan.
A detailed investigation was conducted within forty miles, and the auxiliary soldiers and civilians who were following behind had already caught up. They quickly began to set up camp under the protection of the regular soldiers, digging trenches, setting up fences, and cutting down trees.
Juma and Luzhai are extremely busy.
Naturally, regular soldiers do not need to do these things. They are more responsible for guarding and guarding. They only need to wait for the auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands to prepare all these things. Poor these auxiliary soldiers and civilian soldiers, they can't leave
I am exhausted and have to do these drudgery tasks. Naturally, I can't be happy. However, the military order is so, so what can I do? I can only keep my head down and work hard like an ox and a horse, trying to finish all these trivial tasks before sunset.
.
When the sun gradually hung on the far side of the mountain and seemed to be about to set, one of Huangfu Song's personal guards came closer and reported: "General, the Chinese army's tent has been set up. General, please move...
…”
Huangfusong looked around and saw that most of the military tents had been set up and only a small part was left. Therefore, he did not apply any rigid rules that the military wells were not dug and the military stoves were not opened. He also added his age.
After all, he was a little older, and his body bones were no longer what they were when he was young. After a day of marching, he was extremely sore, so he nodded slightly and followed the guards to the tent...
As the night gradually fell, Xinfeng City was gradually shrouded in darkness.
Both Li Jue's army camp and the outer city wall of Xinfeng beside it looked extremely gloomy in the night, as if they were covered with a layer of black veil, and even the light of the torches above the city couldn't be illuminated.
How far away? The flag stuck on the edge of the city wall kept making a buzzing sound when it was blown by the night wind.
In Li Jue's camp, the torches flickered in the wind, just like the glimmer of hope in Li Jue's heart at this moment. In the Chinese army's tent, there were people standing inside and outside the tent from Xiliang
Of course, some of the generals were Qiang people, and everyone wore helmets and armor. Under the swaying light of the torches, their faces also looked a little uncertain.
At this moment, Li Jue stood up straight, with his hands behind his back, and slowly looked around at the generals around him. In his eyes, the bloody murderous intention of those years of fighting in Xiliang that had been covered up in Chang'an finally burst out!
Everyone in the tent was silent, as if waiting for something.
Until the silence outside the tent was broken, both the Xiliang people and the Qiang people began to whisper one after another. There were only two words in everyone's mouth: "Coming, coming!"
Amidst such low whispers that were almost "buzzing", several scouts, led by a scout military lord, rushed directly into Li Jue's tent from the outside, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
The scout army leader and his men bowed down in front of Li Jue's desk. Li Jue took a deep breath, stared at the leader with bright eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What's the situation? Report as soon as possible!"
The military marquis clasped his fists and said: "We have contacted the scouts from Zheng County! We have lost more than twenty people and finally found out about the location 120 miles east of Huangfu's army!"
Li Jue didn't move, paused for a while, and continued to ask: "How is the situation in the north?"
The scout Junhou replied: "As the general expected, they are still gathering at Baishui ditch and there is no movement!"
Li Jue's voice suddenly became sharp and he confirmed again: "Their cavalry, infantry, flags, etc. are all there?"
The scout also raised his voice and responded loudly: "The men and women have confirmed again and again that the flags of Baishui Gou are all there and are not missing! The infantry and cavalry are all in the camp, and the number of stoves counted has not been reduced!
"
"Okay!" Li Jue's expression still did not relax and he continued to ask, "How is General Ma doing?"
The scout commander almost roared: "General Ma has hidden behind the wild forest in the southwest of Xinfeng! Now we can attack when the general gives the order!"
Li Jue closed his eyes fiercely and took a long breath. When he opened them again, he exhaled loudly and shouted: "Okay! Great! Come here! Get the wine!"
Li Jue's personal guards had been prepared for a long time. After hearing Li Jue's order, they immediately held stacks of wine bowls and distributed them to every general and colonel inside and outside the tent. Others held wine jars and poured the wine into bowls.
The bowl is filled.
Li Jue took the wine bowl into his hand and raised it high: "You all accompanied a certain person to fight his way out of the wind and sand in Xiliang step by step. Now you have finally won a good future, but some people are jealous of you.
, need to stretch out your claws! Where the hell is this place? It’s Guanzhong! This has been our Western Qin people’s since ancient times! Why should we let those Guandong monkeys mess with us! Today, I’ll say one more thing!”
"Guanzhong is our Guanzhong, whoever stretches out his claws randomly, chops one, or chops a pair! Let these monkeys from Guandong also know that the knives of our Xiliang men are not vegetarian!"
After saying that, Li Jue raised his wine bowl to everyone: "Everyone, Shengyin! Drink this bowl and kill the fucking Guandong monkey!"
Everyone in the Xiliang generals inside and outside the tent suddenly became excited and their blood surged up. They opened their necks and shouted: "We must win! We must win! Kill those Guandong monkeys!"
Amid the cheers of everyone inside and outside the crowd, Li Jue raised his wine bowl and gave a distant salute. Then he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp. Then he threw the wine bowl heavily to the ground. Suddenly, the stoneware bowl was smashed into pieces and scattered in all directions.
.Everyone present also imitated Li Jue, drank all the wine in the bowl, and then smashed the wine bowl. For a moment, there was a chaos of banging inside and outside the tent, just like the dozens of heavyweights at the beginning of the war music.
