On the first day of April, since the construction of the northern Sichuan cavalry camp had not yet been completed, there were many prairie warriors from Sanchuan in the "Beishan Military Camp" of the Wei army, milling around in the military camp.
At this moment, the Wei Army's Beishan Military Camp was filled with four types of Wei Army soldiers with different positions.
The first is the veterans of the Shangshui Army, that is, the veterans who were originally from the Pingyang Army or joined the army before the Battle of Sanchuan. Although they were also from the Chu State, they had lived in Shangshui County of the Wei State for two years. In fact, there is not much difference from the Wei people.
Secondly, there are the Chu soldiers recruited by the Shang Shui Army during the attack on Xiangcheng. These soldiers have been loyal to the Wei army for a long time, and most of their families have moved to Xiangcheng and are preparing to move to Wei. Therefore, these soldiers The soldiers are gradually moving closer to the first batch of veterans of the Shang Shui Army.
Again, it was the 30,000 northern Sichuan cavalry led by Bosile.
To be precise, they cannot be regarded as the Wei army, but can only be regarded as the Wei army's subordinate army - the auxiliary army. However, in terms of credibility, they are more reliable than the Wei army in the fourth category.
The Wei army in this fourth category is the main army of Chu that was recruited in the "War of Thirty Miles Plains" just now, and the generals under the command of General Gongsun Po of Chu.
It is no exaggeration to say that these 30,000 newly surrendered Chu troops are the most unstable among the Wei troops. First, because they surrendered to the Wei army for a short period of time, they cannot yet get along well with the veterans of the first and second phases of the Shangshui Army. , their families have not yet been taken to Xiangcheng, so their trust is difficult to guarantee.
How to integrate these 30,000 newly surrendered Chu troops into the Shang Shui army was exactly the problem that Zhao Hongrun had to solve before ordering the attack on Shouxing, the capital of Chu King, unless he was willing to give up the entire 30,000 regular troops.
"Shasha, Shasha..."
A group of grassland warriors from Sanchuan were walking in the Beishan military camp of the Wei army. As they walked, they were mumbling something.
Nearby, many veterans of the first phase of the Shangshui Army looked at these people with dull eyes.
For example, soldiers Li Hui, Yang Wu, Le Bao and others.
They were veterans who had fought in the Battle of Sanchuan. Therefore, although they were once shocked by the strength of the northern Sichuan cavalry, deep down in their hearts, these powerful foreign warriors were just defeated by their men.
Of course, they will not take the initiative to provoke others, as long as the two sides do not conflict with each other.
Not far away, there are also many veterans of the second phase of the Shangshui Army, that is, the former Chu soldiers who joined the Wei army when the Wei army attacked Xiangcheng and Zhi County. These people do not have the same confidence as the predecessors of the first phase. At this moment, he was looking at those tall and burly alien warriors with solemn expressions.
Because many of these veteran soldiers were soldiers who participated in the "Thirty-mile Ambush Battle" two days ago, and they knew very well what kind of military power those burly foreign soldiers had.
However, there is also a group of Wei soldiers in the Wei camp at this moment, who are glaring at those foreign warriors with hatred in their eyes.
For example, the hundred-man general Mo Huai has been assigned to the thousand-man general Xiang Li.
"Son of a bitch!"
Looking at the foreign warriors from afar, the hundred general Mo Huai cursed in a low voice.
Standing by, Qianmen held Xiang Li on his shoulders, frowned and whispered, "Don't be impulsive. Our Shang Shui Army has strict military discipline. If you come forward to provoke me, I can't protect you."
After hearing Xiang Li's warning, hundreds of people gritted their teeth at Mo Huai and endured the anger in their hearts.
Some people may say that the Shang Shui Army fought with the Chu Army for so long and killed far more people than the Northern Sichuan Cavalry. Why didn't Mo Huai feel resentful towards Xiang Li, but instead gritted his teeth at the Northern Sichuan Cavalry?
The reason is very simple, because Zhao Hongrun has been spreading a concept: the fight between the Shang Shui Army and the Chu Army was based on the different ideas of the two sides. Therefore, even the soldiers of both sides who died in the battle were all warriors worthy of respect.
.——Zhao Hongrun hoped to use this concept to weaken the Chu army's hatred of the Shang Shui army, the Wei army, and even the Wei state.
The other most important point is that the Shang Shui Army was almost all composed of Chu people from the Chu State.
No matter how badly they were beaten by their compatriots, Chu soldiers and generals like Mohuai could still accept it. After all, under the ideological guidance of Shang Shui's soldiers, these Chu soldiers and generals had passed on the hatred that led them to such a situation.
They are concerned with the internal conflicts of the Chu State - that is, the hatred of the common people of the Chu State towards the aristocrats of the Chu State headed by the Xiong family.
However, the Northern Sichuan cavalry did not receive the same treatment as the veterans of the Shang Shui Army, because they were foreigners. They were neither Wei people nor Chu people. They were foreigners that the people of the Central Plains had always looked down upon.
Tens of thousands of compatriots were slaughtered by these foreigners. One can imagine the anger in the hearts of Mo Huai and other Chu soldiers.
Fortunately, the Shang Shui army has strict military discipline. Furthermore, the newly surrendered Chu army was frightened by the slaughter of the northern Sichuan cavalry in the "Thirty Mile Battlefield" two days ago, so that at the moment, no one is fighting with them.
Those northern Sichuan cavalry clashed.
However, as the saying goes, God's will is unpredictable. Just before a conflict broke out, there was a commotion at the quartermaster's side who was distributing rations.
It turned out that when the soldiers of the third phase of the Shangshui Army, the former Chu soldiers who had just been recruited, were queuing up to receive food, a group of cavalrymen from Northern Sichuan arrogantly took the former's position and murmured a stream of Heinese to the quartermaster.
The general idea is that they are very hungry, and the soldiers responsible for distributing rations are asked to give them priority.
Unfortunately, there was a soldier who seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was easily squeezed out of the team by those burly Northern Sichuan cavalry and accidentally fell to the ground.
"Why are you like this?!"
the young soldier shouted angrily.
However, the group of northern Sichuan cavalry looked at him with disdain, and one of them even said disdainfully in Wei Chu dialect: "Despicable slaves, this is not the place for you! ... You can just eat the leftovers.
"
These words aroused the anger of the new soldiers in the team, and they all stood up with their faces turned red and their fists clenched.
It's a pity that the behavior of these soldiers could not scare the foreign warriors at all. The foreign warriors glanced around, one of them licked his lips, looked at Wei Chu and said with a smile: "Why, I didn't kill you two days ago.
Are you afraid? Do you want to kill for a while?"
After hearing this, the faces of the newly surrendered soldiers showed anger and fear, and they couldn't help but take two steps back. After all, on the "Thirty Miles Battlefield" in the past two days, these northern Sichuan cavalry had really brought them endless troubles.
of fear.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a "bang, bang, bang" sound.
Everyone present turned around and saw that a Shang Shui sergeant in charge of distributing rations was tapping an iron pot with an iron sword, with a bad look on his face.
This person seems to be a 500-man general.
"Do you have anything to say?" the northern Sichuan cavalryman said coldly.
However, after hearing this, the 500-man general grinned and said: "You can't scare me. I am a veteran who has fought in the Battle of Sanchuan after all. Don't show off your power in front of me."
"You..." The expressions of the northern Sichuan cavalry suddenly changed, and they looked at the 500-man general nervously. This scene surprised the newly surrendered soldiers.
The 500-man general came over, stretched out his hand to help up the soldier who had fallen to the ground, and then looked at the northern Sichuan cavalry and said in a deep voice: "They used to be soldiers of the Chu army, so you
Whether I kill them or humiliate them, I don't care. But today, they are also members of our Shang Shui Army. If you bully them, you are bullying our Shang Shui Army!... You really think that my Shang Shui Army is easy to bully.
What?! This is the territory of my Shang Shui Army!"
After hearing this, the nearby veterans of the first phase of the Shang Shui Army gathered around them and looked at the northern Sichuan cavalry with unkind expressions.
The group of northern Sichuan cavalry also turned red with anger. Two young men among them were so angry that they wanted to charge forward, but were stopped by the foreign warrior who knew the dialect of Chu and Wei.
I saw this person looking around, maybe thinking that a good man would not suffer the immediate disadvantages, and said in a low voice: "Let's go!"
Watching the group of people leaving in panic, the 500-year-old general shouted from behind: "Let's go! There is nothing for you to eat here!"
After that, he glanced at the soldier who was still frightened, patted the latter's chest gently with the back of his hand, and said casually: "Don't be afraid, boy, now you are also a member of my Shang Shui Army.
, the seniors in the army will protect you." As he said that, he clapped his hands, as if nothing had happened, and shouted loudly: "Okay, continue to line up for food!"
The newly-recruited soldiers who were queuing up to receive rations looked at each other in astonishment and flattery, looking at the veterans of the merchant navy who had just stood up for them, and they all looked excited.
In the distance, Thousand People General Ran Teng and Thousand People General Zhang Ming crossed their arms and looked at this scene indifferently.
"What do you think?" Ran Teng glanced at Zhang Ming.
I saw a strange smile on Zhang Ming's face, and said cryptically: "The Sanchuan cavalry who understands the Dachu dialect, hey, it is really rare... I don't know where I found it."
"Hehe." Ran Teng also grinned when he heard this, but then frowned and said: "Just like this, the relationship between our Shangshui Army and the Northern Sichuan Cavalry has completely become tense..."
To be fair, these two generals are not fools. How could they not see that the scene just now was pre-arranged?
You must know that there are many Sanchuan cavalry who understand the dialect of Wei State, but the Sanchuan cavalry who understands the dialect of Chu State is truly unique.
It is not difficult to guess that the group of northern Sichuan cavalry and the 500-man general must be someone who was hired by His Highness to perform this scene. The purpose is to make the newly surrendered Chu soldiers have an impact on the "Shang Shui Army"
Sense of belonging.
The problem is that they can see through this, but ordinary soldiers may not be able to understand it. This means that for a long time, the Northern Sichuan Cavalry and their Shangshui Army may suffer because of this incident directed by a certain His Highness.
During the play, the soldiers on both sides had resentments.
"Those guys from the Yanling Army will probably wake up laughing..." Ran Teng sighed in a rather depressed tone.
If you think about it, you will know that the Northern Sichuan Cavalry, as a subordinate of the Wei Army, will definitely move closer to the Yanling Army since they have broken up with the Shangshui Army. This is not a good idea for the Shangshui Army soldiers who regard the Yanling Army as their old enemy in a sense.
What a good thing.
"There is nothing we can do about it." Zhang Ming sighed helplessly, then shrugged and said, "But it's okay, aren't there still Yuma? I was thinking about it, His Highness Prince Su is also planning to create a domestic cavalry force.
"
Ran Teng shook his head and walked away with Zhang Ming.
The "Youma" they mentioned was Zhao Hongrun's newly formed cavalry, the "Dangjun Youma" cavalry.
Of course, nowadays it should be called "Shangshui Wandering Horse".
The Shang Shui Army, the Shang Shui Green Crow, and the Shang Shui Wandering Horse seemed to be God's will, destined to be united because of the unity of their respective regions.
