Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth appearance in the Central Plains
"The dusk rain sprinkles on the river and sky, washing the autumn." Raising his hand to catch the drizzle, Zhu Biao read in his mind a poem whose origin he had long forgotten. "It is also a symbol of scenery." Except for the season.
Today is the New Year, not the New Autumn.
In late February, the court documents arrived. He took Dou Bing and Feng Enjiang with him, took with him Shan Yuping's reluctance, and his mother's younger sister's concern. He selected a hundred elite cavalry followers from the bodyguard cavalry and rode hard.
coming straight to the south.
None of the masters in the family were brought with him. The departure of Song Yannan, Song Yingzhu and his daughter does not count, because they are not really members of the Zhu family. Zhu Biao's courtesy to them is more like that of a guest.
After traveling more than 10,000 miles, Zhu Biao had already reached Kaizhou in less than a month. Because the King of Tang gave an order, Zhu Biao and his party could change horses at the stations along the way from Beiyu to Beijiang. Except for the time in Beijiang, Zhu Biao
Except for the green horse under his crotch, everyone else is just a BMW, even Zhu Biao's green horse is only one step behind.
With these BMWs, it is not a problem to travel 500 miles a day, not to mention that Zhu Biao has a systematic increase. It was really fast, and they arrived in Kaizhou in mid-March.
Almost at the same time, the news of the emperor's control of Long Bintian was also spread in the capital of gods. For a time, the whole world was snow-white, and all the bright red and bright colors were gone.
The prince ascended the throne and buried his father. For this purpose, he sent jade letters to princes from all over the country and summoned his uncles and brothers to come to Beijing.
But who would be stupid enough to throw themselves into a trap? Even the King of Jin was ill. Of course, it was not that he did not want to go to Shendu to die for his father, but to prevent the King of Tang and the King of Song.
If he leaves Xingzhou, Wanzhou and other places, and the kings of Tang and Song suddenly take action, they may lose the opportunity. For the sake of his boss, the king of Jin will have to bear the reputation of being unfilial.
The war was about to break out. The day after Zhu Biao arrived at the Song Dynasty Palace to meet with the Song Dynasty King, news came from Dong'an County that Pei Lun had sent troops.
So Zhu Biao, who had just traveled more than 10,000 miles, had no time to rest and got into working mode.
There were still a few people under the King of Song. Zhu Biao suddenly intervened like this because he was invited by the King of Tang in this way. Of course, he was ostracized by the generals in the Song army who only felt that their dignity had been insulted.
In order to resolve this 'contradiction', Zhu Biao did not ask to command the entire army immediately. Instead, he asked the King of Song for the most obedient army under his command, and marched directly from Guangchang County to Lishan Mountain in the north of Dongcheng County.
There are 30,000 troops.
With a faint smile on his face, Zhu Biao ordered the guards beside him: "Send my military order to stop the entire army and camp on the spot."
"Yes, Marshal." As both a personal guard and a messenger, Zhu Biao, who had just arrived, had very few trustworthy people around him. It was safer to do things like this by himself.
A slight slanting wind blows, and a little drizzle drips on the face and neck, and the coolness that penetrates the heart instantly refreshes the mind. Looking ahead, you can see the misty rain and mist in the mountains and forests; looking back, you can see a long and thin snake winding in the mountains and forests.
, the long back body was also buried in the drizzle——
In the spring rain, in this season of hope, Zhu Biao led his troops into Qishan Mountain, and 30,000 troops came out of Guangchang. He believed that he would lead his army on a road of hope!
In the depths of Qian Mountain, a team of thirty thousand people stretched into a long snake more than ten miles long in the forest, winding its way through the rugged and concave mountain roads.
Following Zhu Biao's order, dozens of messengers dispersed in all directions, and soon the same shouts were heard one after another in the spring rain in the mountains.
The military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the same as that of the Han army, with battalions as the main combat units. Thirty thousand soldiers are the heads of five fully-equipped battalions, led by Chen An, Lu Tong, Zhang He, Wu Boniu and Zhang Fuyang. Among the five generals
The first two are Zhonglang Jiang, and the last three are Xiaowei.
In addition, there is a newly built guard of 500 people, of which 100 are real personal guards, and the remaining 400 are strong men selected from the Song Dynasty's guard. Following Zhu Biao's order,
It didn't take long for five relatively safe campsites to be set up in the forest.
Zhang He's base camp serves as Zhu Biao's army.
From Sundian in Guangchang County to Fanyu Mountain, the destination of this trip, the straight-line distance on the map is about 200 miles. However, don’t believe that when marching in the deep mountains and old forests. Mountain after mountain has been climbed, and now the army
We have been marching in the mountains and forests for five days, but we have just reached Mount Xiba. There is still quite a long way to go. It will be good if we can reach Fanyu Mountain at noon the day after tomorrow.
After five days of walking through the forest, it started to rain lightly yesterday, which greatly exhausted the physical strength of the soldiers below. In addition, food and drink were not good. Under the drizzle, there was no dry firewood in the mountains and forests, and there was no way to start a fire.
, making it a meal. Sleeping is even more uncomfortable. In this situation, since the rain started yesterday afternoon, more than 200 people have fallen ill in one day. The morale of the army has dropped from seventy-six at the time of departure to the current sixty.
Three, you will fail immediately.
Therefore, Zhu Biao ordered to stop and camp at this time. After resting for an hour or two, his morale would be restored to above sixty-five and his physical strength would be restored a lot, and then he could continue his journey.
After leading the troops for five days, Zhu Biao really missed the old army in Hedong. The training and running-in may not have reached the peak, but the morale is always high, and his prestige in the army has penetrated into the hearts of every soldier.
It will not be wiped out. As long as you give the order, ice knives will rain down from the sky. If you want to leave, you will still leave.
There is another issue that needs to be determined. It is spring, not summer. It is raining and you are soaked to the skin. The temperature in the forest is not high. Now that it is raining, the coldness of the wet suit is even worse. No.
Be careful, it is very easy to catch a fever or catch a cold. There are already four to five hundred people in the army with red status.
To put it bluntly, Song Jun's self-esteem is really squeamish.
But Zhu Biao had no good way to deal with these. When the army set out, in order to carry more rations, he took very few sundries. His "weather forecast" did not predict that it would rain in three days. He waited until it started to rain lightly.
After getting up, not even a single raincoat could be found in the entire army. All soldiers and officers were marching in the rain.
As for camping, it's very simple. Just pull up a tent and it won't block the rain, but it's still better.
"Tomorrow, another day, this day will be over." Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to wipe the rain off his face, and a string of water drops flew away when he shook his hand.
He did not maintain the Gangqi around him, firstly, in order to create a sense of unity for the entire army, and secondly, because he did not have the ability.
Even an innate master can maintain a protective aura for an hour or two, but no one can do this for a day or two in a row. Instead of pretending to be cool at the beginning and being drowned in the end, it is better to open yourself up.
In the afternoon, they marched forward to another mountain, and the whole army camped again to rest. Nothing happened all night. When it got dawn, Zhu Biao ordered people to do another statistics. The number of sick people who were unable to get up had increased to 800. In fact, the status of his system was hanging.
There were a thousand people in red, and hundreds of people fell again overnight.
However, each condition may be mild or severe, and in mild cases you can still stand up on your own.
Morale was on the pass line, and Zhu Biao deliberately put on a show that day. He was soaked and went back and forth in front of and behind the army to cheer up, and finally got through the day. At dusk, the clouds dispersed.
Fortunately, the army was walking in the mountains and forests, and there were only trees as far as the eye could see, and there were no human beings. The problem of deserters no longer existed, and hundreds of simple stretchers could be made very easily, so those who could not get up were
Soldiers, just lift them up and walk.
But on the seventh day, before dawn, light rain began to fall. It only stopped for less than a night. By noon, the rain became heavier and heavier, and soon it became moderate rain.
Level up.
The original scenery filled with mist, rain and fog in the mountains and forests was gone forever, and the smile on the corner of Zhu Biao's mouth finally turned into a bitter smile: If the drizzle in spring can still make people feel poetic, then now
The heavy raindrops can only make people feel chilly.
"My luck is really bad!" He sighed in his heart, and he could only give another order to urge the whole army to move quickly.
Fortunately, Fanyu Mountain is coming soon.
A small valley more than 20 miles south of Fanyu Mountain.
Under a curtain to protect the rain, Jiao Hong and his three followers were huddled tightly under the curtain. The four of them were leaning together, but they could still feel the chill coming.
"Damn, this rain is getting harder and harder." Looking outside the tent, he saw raindrops as dense as needle threads falling on the surface of several small puddles on the grass. "What bad luck!" Jiao Hong lamented.
Everything was sunny for a few days, but unexpectedly it started raining violently. It was at this critical moment that I didn't even dare to be lazy.
The rain stopped at dusk yesterday, and I thanked God for coming, but it started raining again before dawn today. It turned into moderate rain before noon, and now it is about to turn into heavy rain.
The weather seemed to have dropped a lot suddenly, and he could feel a chill even while huddled in the curtain, not to mention the Song King's army marching in the rain.
Ouch, this is really painful.
"Tap-tap-tap-" A subtle sound of treading water came into Jiao Hong's ears from outside. "Wang Qi--are you back?" Jiao Hong shouted without thinking.
At that time, there were only six of them who could come to this place, and one was stationed at another location. According to the pre-arrangement, each person went out to guard for an hour. Now, it was time for Wang Qizhuan to come back.
Wang Qi, an old man in Jiao Hong's personal entourage, is absolutely reliable. Because the pronunciation of "Qi" is "qi", Wang Qi is also called Wang Qi. People with high status or equals and close relationships all call him this.
, and if the identity is not enough, the title should be changed.
"Second Master, the person has arrived -" In fact, Wang Qi did not understand the identity of the person he brought. Four days ago, he and four other trusted followers of Jiao Hong were called outside, and then six
I went here with my food supplies and stayed there.
I only know that I am waiting for one person, and I don’t know anything about the rest. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
