Duan Jiong never regarded these Confederate soldiers as elite soldiers to train.
He taught them how to march, and occasionally handed them some military instructions and explained them personally. In his first interview with the emperor, the emperor told him very clearly that he was not asking him to bring out another northern army.
, so that he could train generals and even commanders who could become the mainstay of the Han Dynasty in the future. At that time, Duan Jiong was more interested in fulfilling the emperor's orders, and he may not have cared about these knights in his heart.
However, after careful training, these ranger soldiers actually gave him a different surprise. After watching many southern soldiers lead their own teams, integrating their troops, in an orderly manner, and without any confusion, even the northern soldiers
Lu Zhi and others on the army side were also a little surprised. They originally thought that using these soldiers to supplement the Southern Army would be better off sending the Northern Army directly to Liangzhou to guard it, letting the Northern Army in Liangzhou return, and then marching into Yangzhou together.
These princes and sima who came from rangers have obviously learned how to control the army. The southern troops were in their respective positions and camped outside Luoyang. Duan Juan hurriedly returned to the palace at this moment. He wanted to report to Your Majesty that the army has been
It was time to set off. When he rushed to the palace, there were only a dozen or so of the three princes and nine ministers in the palace, but they were discussing privately with the emperor. When they saw Duan Juan coming, everyone also saluted. Duan Juan bowed to everyone and suddenly knelt down.
Kneeling in front of the little fat man, he said: "The three armies are on standby and can attack Yangzhou at any time!"
The little fat man nodded and asked, "I wonder how the soldiers will get there?"
Duan Jiu was stunned, raised his head, looked at the servant, and said: "Of course it is chariots and horses. This fierce battle, if it is a foot army, rush to Yangzhou, where will the soldiers have any fighting spirit?" The little fat man nodded and looked at it.
He turned to the servant, who looked gloomy, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, there are not enough chariots and horses for 40,000 soldiers in this palace. Unless we purchase them from the people, I'm afraid it will cost a lot...
.”
"What? It costs a lot? No, no, there is no money left in the treasury!" Sure enough, when he heard about the money, he jumped up suddenly when he heard the attack and shouted hurriedly. The little fat man looked at him thoughtfully, don't look at this person
On weekdays, he was in a daze and did nothing, but as soon as money was involved, he immediately became my Zhang Liang. The little fat man deliberately looked at the servant and asked: "Servant, if this is buying chariots and horses from the people, I think it is for the soldiers to march."
I wonder how much it will cost?”
The servant was stunned and said slowly: "Nearly eight...", "No need to say more!" As soon as he started to speak, he was interrupted forcefully by Wen Renxi, who looked at him with some displeasure.
, looked at the little fat man and said: "Your Majesty, why waste money? We will borrow carriages and horses from the people on the roads that the soldiers and soldiers passed. As long as your Majesty agrees, these borrowed carriages and horses will be exempted for one year.
Tax, these people will clap their hands and send the soldiers’ baggage there!”
For a moment, everyone looked at him with strange expressions.
Sure enough, this guy still needs to be forced to show his talent.
The little fat man agreed to his request, and then said to the servant beside him: "You are in charge of all livestock affairs in the world. If this horse power is not enough, how can the big man be safe? Isn't Zheng Xuan herding cattle in Liangzhou? Wherever you let him, give him
I want to raise some good horses. You should go to Liangzhou in person to discuss this matter with him!"
The servant takes the order.
............
Forty thousand soldiers gathered outside Luoyang City. The emperor, surrounded by many guards, slowly walked to the east gate of Luoyang. At this point, the general launched his army and waved flags everywhere. The little fat man pushed away several people around him unhappily.
A Suwei swaggered onto the high platform at the general point, looking down at the tens of thousands of elite soldiers below. When he saw the emperor coming to the stage, Duan Jiong at the front suddenly knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Long live the emperor!!"
"
"Long live the Emperor!!"
The Confederate soldiers roared with all their strength, their faces flushed, and their roars were like thunder. The Northern Army did not want to be suppressed by the Confederate Army. So, the sound became louder and louder, rising straight into the sky. The little fat man also had a red face.
, he ordered to sacrifice the flag and beat the drums! Suddenly, hundreds of drummers suddenly beat the drums, and there was continuous thunder outside Luoyang. The drums seemed to be beating in the heart of the little fat man, beating in everyone's heart.
In the hearts of soldiers!
Makes your blood boil!
"Dong, dong, dong!" As the drums beat loudly, the soldiers also stood on the ground with their spears in their hands, and the swordsmen and shieldmen struck the shields with their swords. The little fat man felt that his whole body was burning, and he wished he could go down now and fight with them.
Riding horses to kill the bandits together, he took a deep breath and looked at the elite men of the Han Dynasty who were cheering wildly. They were extremely ambitious. Duan Jiong slaughtered three animals as sacrifices and invited Cai Yong, the great scholar who was in charge of the Yi, to calculate the bad luck of the trip. Sure enough, it was a good day.
Elephant!
Duan Yan saluted the Emperor above him, saying goodbye. Many soldiers also knelt down on one knee and put their weapons on the ground to show their respect and loyalty to the Emperor. The little fat man stepped forward suddenly and shouted:
"Where is my champion?!" Many messengers nearby shouted: "Where is my champion?!" From Duan Jiong to the soldiers, their eyes were extremely fiery and they replied loudly: "We are here
this!!!"
"We are here!!"
"We are here!!"
The soldiers left Luoyang with great excitement and longing. Because of the construction of the Chi Road, they could walk very easily and soon reached the territory of Yanzhou. However, the Chi Road here was broken, and their speed
It also began to slow down. Duan Jiong led 40,000 soldiers, claiming to be 200,000, and swept towards Yangzhou. It was indeed frightened that most of the mountain people surrendered, walked out of the mountains and forests, and tied themselves up to see the officials.
Jiaozhou, Yulin County
Shanyue held a meeting here and here. However, compared to the last time, this time there were only six people standing here. Shanyue can be divided into two groups. One group is a powerful Han who evaded taxes, and the other group is Baidu.
The descendants of Yue and local residents, these people have hair and tattoos, do not wear Hanfu, and have tough personalities. The six people standing here are all descendants of Baiyue. Those powerful people are particularly aware of the strength of the Han court and defected before.
Now nature has returned.
You Tuchi frowned and was speechless. The other people also sighed, and one person complained: "Brother, it didn't work out, but the shameless kid leaked it, which attracted Duan Ji's 200,000-strong army. We have no hope of victory at all."
Ah! Let’s just run away!”
"My ancestor, his blood, his flesh, and his bones are all in this mountain forest. If you want to run away, just run... I will protect the souls of the ancestors here." You Tuchi's eyes widened.
, whispered.
"Brother, if we stay with these 200,000 troops, we will die?!"
"To stay is to die, but to escape is to survive? How many of your clan members can be left?" You Tuchi shouted angrily. He pointed at the man in front of him and said, "If we don't take it, we will have something to lose this year." Half of the clan members will starve to death. Next year, when they are working in the fields, they will dig up the spiritual grounds of our ancestors and start farming on their corpses! If you are afraid, then get away from me. Even if I am alone, I will fight to the death. !”
"I am so lucky to be able to sleep with my ancestors!"
The remaining few people stood up suddenly. Suddenly, they pulled out the knife from their arms and slashed it directly on the palm of their hand. They shouted: "I am willing to die with my brother!" You Tuchi burst into tears and shook his hand. He grabbed the hands of several of them, "Stupid...stupid!" Someone cursed behind him. Youtuchi turned around. Youtuchi was slashed all over his body, but the wounds were not very deep. All the wounds on his body were being bandaged. The knife marks on his face made him look extremely terrifying.
"Father, why don't you surrender? Do you want to sacrifice the entire clan just for you?" Youtu said weakly, but his eyes were staring straight at Youtuchi.
