Time passed little by little, and night fell quickly. Being in the river, Fei Qian was still in the mood to think about the so-called special operations. In the Han Dynasty, it was necessary to form a system that could go up mountains, go into water, touch the dark, and
Special soldiers who can climb over walls, hide, and disguise themselves, this is really too difficult.
In the current situation, if Fei Qian had not taken advantage of the trade with the Hu people early in the morning and insisted on replenishing the soldiers with a certain amount of cattle and sheep offal, offal and other things, although not all the soldiers, these veterans would basically have been eliminated.
Only by eliminating night blindness caused by nutritional deficiencies can we carry out night crossings. Otherwise, it is estimated that it will become difficult to walk once it gets dark...
Well, it seems that there is something that I have overlooked.
An idea suddenly appeared in Fei Qian's mind, but like a flash of light, it disappeared from his mind with the sound of rushing water, and he could not be found for a while.
It's not that they turned around and attacked at night, because most of the Xiliang soldiers like Li Jue were Qiang people. The Qiang people ate more cattle and sheep, and their eyesight was relatively strong. In addition, there was no battlefield positioning system in this era, so at night
Things that cause chaos are actually high risks...
Fei Qian tried his best to support him, but when he felt that his strength was gradually exhausted, the war horse suddenly shook and seemed to have stepped on the ground. However, there was inevitably some mud on the edge of the river bank. The war horse stepped on it several times and skidded before it finally stood up.
After getting up, Zhang Liao and several soldiers who had been waiting on the shore hurriedly came forward and pushed and pulled Fei Qian and his horse to the shore together.
"Junhou," Zhang Liao asked while handing over a piece of wrung Gebu, "how are you doing? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Fei Qian shook his head, and just wiped the remaining water on his face, the war horse beside him couldn't wait to stand upright, shaking his mane, and shook out all the mud and water, which confused Fei Qian again.
One face.
Fei Qian looked helplessly into the war horse's big eyes, then patted the horse's neck and asked his men to lead the war horse farther away, and then said to Zhang Liao: "According to the current speed, I'm afraid it will still take a lot of time...
Wenyuan, please send some men first, find a shelter from the wind in the north, and light some fire to dry the clothes..."
Although summer is about to begin, the temperature is still relatively low at night. Naturally, you will be covered in water when swimming. Therefore, when the night wind blows, you may catch a cold if you are not careful. Maybe you have not been defeated by Xiliang soldiers.
, but was harmed by the wind and cold, which was more embarrassing.
Fei Qian turned his head, and taking advantage of the light that was not completely dark, he saw the soldiers on the side struggling to drag the bundled armor with a few cowhide ropes, and several other peso ropes like candied haws.
One after another, the soldiers in uniforms slowly swam towards here, and it seemed that everyone's movements were more agile than his own.
Fei Qian looked at these people and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Some people say that modern people are better than ancient people. This may be true in some aspects, but in terms of physical fitness, it seems that people in the Han Dynasty are obviously better than modern people. Don't say goodbye.
Yes, let’s not mention warriors like Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao. These soldiers alone are rarely short-sighted. Night blindness is caused by unbalanced nutrition. Whether they are marching or fighting, these soldiers can survive better. They eat two meals a day.
Even though we walked very little and walked very long, we were still in good spirits, as if we had endless energy.
Although I have become much stronger during this period, compared with these soldiers, I still seem to be a little bit behind...
Well, I don't need to fight in person. I am a commander who eats his brains, not a general who eats his physical strength. So I can only comfort myself like this.
You can vaguely see a dark mountain shadow in the distance to the north. Although there are not many people coming and going at this ferry now, the marks left by people's trampling in the past are winding to the north.
A few miles away, there seemed to be some sparse woods, which could be used as a place for a short stay and tidying up.
Some of the soldiers Zhang Liao had led across the river were stopping on the river bank. Some were helping to pull the cowhide ropes, while others were taking off their water-soaked clothes and wringing them dry. The war horses also needed a little grooming.
Whether it is the war horse itself, or the girth and saddle, they also need to be cleaned...
Zhang Liao was standing next to Fei Qian and was about to say something when he suddenly stopped. Danfeng narrowed his eyes, then frowned and turned around to look around.
"Be careful!" Zhang Liao suddenly ordered loudly, holding the spear in his backhand, and then stood in front of Fei Qian.
At this moment, a dozen black figures suddenly appeared from behind the small dirt bag far in front of them. They threw out several torches with a roar, followed by the sound of the torches breaking through the air. Seven or eight torches were fired.
The arrows, already roaring fiercely, were shooting towards Fei Qian's place!
******************
Above Tongguan, Yang Biao is already stationed here.
Along with the military reports sent from the front, each one became more optimistic and the battle was going smoothly. Tongguan was conquered and Zheng County surrendered. When Huangfu Song's army marched westward, Yang Biao could no longer sit still in Hongnong.
Lead the team to move forward to Chang'an.
After all, Hongnong is still some distance away from Chang'an, and although Tongguan is simple and crude, it is still a relatively good place after all. Yang Biao temporarily settled here in order to wait for Kyoto to be conquered and drive in as quickly as possible.
Chang'an.
Speaking of which, before Yang Biao took up the position of three public officials, he also held the positions of general, general, guard, etc., so he still had a little experience in commanding the army, but he could not be compared with that of a general, so he left
It is not unacceptable that the battlefield is closer. After all, setting off from Tongguan to Chang'an is much faster than walking from Hongnong. Although five or six days is not too long, the rapid changes in the court will make it more delayed.
There may be one more change every day.
And if Huangfu Song really leads the army and arrives at the gates of Kyoto, and Yang Biao himself is still staying in Hongnong at this time, this...
It's easy to say but not nice to hear.
Moreover, Huangfu Song achieved his current record with the support of Yang Biao and the Hongnong noble family. If Huangfu Song stepped on him instead, wouldn't Yang Biao himself become a big joke?
So Yang Biao not only moved to Tongguan, he even wrote a letter to Wang Yi in Hedong, giving a general description of the situation here. After all, Wang Yi, the governor of Hedong, was more or less his ally and also came from
If you have some strength, this feat of recapturing Chang'an and Kyoto is more or less a profit. This can be regarded as some reward for the allies who are willing to follow you, and at the same time, it also shows the magnanimity of the Yang family, the crown prince in the world.
Chang'an!
What Yang Biao is thinking about now is to quickly capture Chang'an City! End this war as soon as possible, and also ensure that this great achievement is unique to his faction!
However, Yang Biao is already over fifty years old after all. As he gets older, it is inevitable that he will have some problems with his muscles and bones. Although Yang Biao was a top figure in the Han Dynasty, from the time Dong Zhuo entered the capital in Luoyang until now when he raised his army, on the one hand, he had to
It's really hard to be busy with internal fighting and deal with the Xiliang people on the one hand.
Especially after Chang'an planned to let the Xiliang people drive Wang Yun out of power, but he smashed his own feet and escaped from Pingyang all the way to Hongnong. These days were ups and downs, sad and happy, and even Xiliang horses
Teng Hansui suddenly appeared to the west of Chang'an, inserting a man on his side, and the cunning guy Fei Qian of Pingyang was stirring up trouble. Behind him, he had to raise money and food from the noble nobles of Hongnong...
Yang Biao suddenly felt that he was really old. He felt that this war was really exhausting both physically and mentally, and he wished it could end as soon as possible.
It's finally good now. Huangfu Song's military report said it so confidently. It seems that it won't be long before he enters Chang'an City with full honors.
As long as I enter Chang'an first, all the hard work will be rewarded...
It was with such a mood that Yang Biao, surrounded by a large group of personal guards, embarked on the westward march and stationed in Tongguan.
Tongguan had just experienced a war, and many traces of the battle at that time had not been eliminated. A large number of corpses were exposed in the wilderness. In addition, it was summer, and the corpses quickly began to rot, emitting a disgusting smell.
The smell comes out. Therefore, Yang Biao's house located in Tongguan must be well arranged to prevent the stench from reaching your body...
Although Yang Biao said that simplicity is good, for the crown clan of the world, simplicity will not make it any easier. Although they are temporarily stationed in Tongguan, it is not much better than Yang Biao's original place of promoting agriculture.
Hardware conditions cannot be changed, software always needs to be more thoughtful.
As the third official, he always needs his own chariot and horse ceremonial guard. A four-by-four canopy chariot must also be prepared. Each chariot must be equipped with three to four people, plus the attendants and slaves who follow Yang Biao and his personal bodyguards.
Wait, there are hundreds of people who belong to Yang Biao alone, and this does not include the soldiers who directly belong to Yang Biao's ordinary guards.
As well as the furnishings in the lobby, bedrooms and other rooms, the incense burner pendants and other various odds and ends, it was packed into three large baggage trucks.
The sky has darkened, and there are noisy sounds everywhere in Tongguan. Originally, all the troops in Wangyi, Hedong, have been handed over to Huangfu Song for dispatch, so now all Yang Biao has raised in Hongnong.
personnel. Previously, Zhao Wenjie was sent to send a group of civilians and soldiers to Zheng County. Otherwise, the number of people in Tongguan would be even greater now!
Yang Biao lives in the original government office of Tongguan Order. Although this kind of house cannot be compared with his own house, it is far away from the smelly places outside the city after all, and with the incense in the house, it is more or less acceptable.
Although the time for late-stewing meat had passed, Yang Biao’s exclusive cooks still prepared some fragrant meat soup and asked the slaves to serve it to Yang Biao. This cook was an old man in the Hongnong family and everyone knew Yang Biao.
Biao's appetite and hobbies were naturally more considerate. Knowing that Yang Biao was old and could not eat much in one meal, but he would be hungry again at night, so he prepared some delicious meat soup after dark, which became
Convention.
The most important thing about meat soup is its tenderness. If you cook it for too long, the meat will become old and dry, and the taste will be completely different. So Yang Biao's cooks naturally understand this principle and boil it a little.
The marinated meat strips are put into the hot beans, then poured with some sauce water, and topped with some washed and tender green polenta, then the meat soup is ready when the slave carries it over.
There is still some residual heat, so it is so tender that it melts in your mouth.
Of course Yang Biao was meticulous about eating, but the other personnel in Tongguan were not so particular. Anyway, it was just a big-headed soldier, so he dealt with it casually. He ate and drank casually, even sleeping.
They have to gather together in one place. Now there are so many people coming in from Tongguan at one time, and there are also materials piled up, and the matters are complicated, and no one has time to sort them out in time, so even if the people in Tongguan are
Some rooms have more than a dozen people crammed into them, but there is still no way to accommodate them all, so some people can only make do by setting up tents on both sides of the street.
As for other aspects...
It's all just make do.
In such a congested situation, the soldiers who came from the west to deliver intelligence could only shout to the congested personnel to give way, while helplessly walking through the narrow passage, and accidentally stepped on it.
I didn't know it was the yellow and white thing left by that guy. I immediately frowned and cursed bad luck, then I casually rubbed it on the tent nearby, and walked away...
The soldiers in the tent were naturally very angry, but what could they do? Conveying the military situation was a top priority. If they came forward to argue or make any moves, they would be charged with obstructing the military situation, and they would be slapped with dozens of sticks.
It's so light, you might even lose your head!
The military prince led the soldiers conveying the military situation all the way inward, and arrived at the mansion where Yang Biao was temporarily stationed in Tongguan. At this time, Yang Biao had just finished his meat soup and was about to rest. Hearing the urgent military situation, he quickly put on his clothes again.
When Fang arrived at the side hall and saw the faces of the soldiers who came to convey the military information, he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart...
Shouldn't that be the case?
The number of troops given to Huangfu Song is no longer small, and Huangfu Song is a veteran on the battlefield, so it won't be much worse, right?
Yang Biao could only comfort himself like this first, and then took the fire-painted bamboo tube from the soldier. After a brief inspection, he hurriedly opened it. After glancing up and down a few times, his heart suddenly...
…
Shen.
arrive.
.
end.
There were still some blood stains on the military scarf. It was obvious that the situation at that time had reached the extreme level of embarrassment...
Holding this thin military intelligence scarf, the blood in Yang Biao's body had just sunk to the bottom with his heart, and in an instant it "jumped" to the top of his head, making his face turn red!
At this moment, Yang Biao was so angry that he was shaking all over. He tried desperately to calm down, but he couldn't. In the hall, two incense burners with spices were slowly pouring out warm fragrance. He should have felt extremely
Comfort is what matters, but now Yang Biao just feels a chill in his body and then a burst of heat...
Damn it!
Huangfu Song is so incompetent!
An army of 20,000! Jingran didn’t even have the strength to parry, and was hunted down by the Xiliang thieves all the way. Not even one of them survived!
Now there are only more than 6,000 people left in Zheng County, of which there are only more than 1,000 regular soldiers and 1,000 cavalry, and the rest are auxiliary soldiers and civilians!
Li Jue and Ma Teng's four to five thousand elite cavalry are still in the Xinfeng area. Who knows when they will attack!
God knows how long Huangfusong can last as a loser!
You even have the audacity to send people to ask for help!
