As soon as he arrived at the military camp where he wanted to be, Hu'er was greeted by a severe beating. Naturally, the young prince hated the general who had humiliated him in front of everyone. In the past, he could not punish the doctor, but he was the first to destroy him.
It was Shang Yang of Qin who established the rule. However, even a man like Shang Yang did not dare to punish and humiliate the prince. At most, he would hold his master to trial.
And Zhang Liao's behavior has surpassed that of Shang Yang. How can the prince of a dignified country be treated like this?
Hu'er was carried back to his tent. There was no one in the tent, and there was no one to take care of him. Hu'er was furious and stood up slowly, not daring to sit down. Of course Zhang Liao didn't dare to beat him.
The injury and humiliation were mainly about his face. Hu'er wanted to go to the Houde Hall to complain, but he found that his left leg was a little painful. Now he would be limping when he went out. It was extremely indecent. He didn't want to lose face again.
However, Zhang Liao returned to the main camp indifferently and continued to issue his next orders. Next, the Southern Army needed to march quickly, pass through various roads quickly, and must also bypass many counties and cities in the fastest and most secretive way.
They arrived at the border of Hezhou and captured the Xianbei remnants' headquarters outside the Great Wall first... Zhang Liao did not listen to everyone's suggestions and directly stated the plan for this march.
Everyone was shocked by his attitude towards the prince just now. Now they heard Zhang Liao's march plan, and they were even more confused. This is the territory of the Han Dynasty. What is the purpose of bypassing the county? Do you want to march in a hurry? Don't wait for the Northern Army.
Set off directly and capture the opponent's royal tent? Most people don't understand why Zhang Liao issued such an order and why he did it?
Faced with everyone's confusion and inquiries, Zhang Liao said seriously: "Since the establishment of the Southern Army, everyone has respected the Northern Army. I am deeply dissatisfied. In this battle, we must prove to the world that the Southern Army is superior to the Northern Army."
We must not let the people in the county discover our movements. We are advancing secretly to prevent the Northern Army from knowing where we have arrived... and to enter the king's tent is to prove our strength."
Zhang Liao said, but everyone didn't believe it at all.
These people have followed Zhang Liao for a long time, and naturally they all know Zhang Liao's character, but today's two things don't seem to be Zhang Liao's style, especially this kind of competition with the Northern Army. Zhang Liao has always disdained it. Why?
Maybe it was because of this? However, Zhang Liao explained it like this. Even if everyone didn't believe it, they didn't question it anymore. After agreeing to the promise, they left each other to prepare for the march.
After walking out of the camp, Sun Ce quickly stopped Lu Xun. Lu Xun hurriedly bowed to him. He was the youngest general in the Southern Army. He treated everyone as a father and brother. Not to mention... he also fell in love with a girl. Lu Xun smiled.
Asked: "I wonder why General Sun stopped me?" Sun Ce looked at him. Recently, everyone has been a little weird.
General Zhang is getting more and more weird, and he can't understand it. Even the young man who has been taken by his side is the same. In the past, he always regarded himself as an elder brother, with a respectful attitude, than his biological brother Sun Quan.
There were more, but, not long ago, after I invited him to my home as a guest, he suddenly changed. He no longer called me brother, but general.
"Do you know why the general is in such a hurry to march? Why do you want us to do it secretly?" Sun Ce asked puzzledly, how could such an army of tens of thousands be hidden? Zhang Liao's move really made him see
I do not know.
Lu Xun was stunned, his face hesitated for a moment, and then he remembered that beautiful figure, and couldn't help but said: "Sir... ahem, General, judging from the boy's point of view, this is not to gain credit with the Northern Army, but to destroy Guishuang.
It's just preparations. The emperor has long had the idea of conquering Guishuang and taking revenge. This expedition beyond the Great Wall is just to train the army..."
"General Zhang, uncharacteristically, requested to march in secret and attack the main tent... Thinking about it, this is the task that the Southern Army will undertake when Guishang is destroyed in the future. Presumably, the Southern Army will bypass many county checkpoints and raid the royal city privately.
..I heard that the city of the King of Kushan extended in all directions, but the King of Kushan was stupid and listened to the advice of the Prime Minister, demolished the city walls, and built a series of palaces..."
"The prime minister also accepted bribes from the Han Dynasty... He was originally from a lower caste and was only favored by his king. Since everyone looked down on him, he had no sense of belonging to Guishan at all..." Lu Xun
He whispered, in fact, he had already seen the big man's arrangements in Guishang, and he didn't know who arranged the conquest of Guishang. What he did was simply crazy!
They bribed everyone, sending beauties, good wine and the King of Kushan every year, installing their cronies, controlling the temples, and even many generals who led the troops were bribed. The Northern Army had long since withdrawn to the border between Xizhou and Liangzhou.
Here, let the King of Kushan relax and have good food and drink. This behavior is the essence of the political family. It is full of poisonous schemes. All the talented people in Kushan were eliminated one by one. Instead, the incompetent nobles
Occupied a prominent position.
Everyone speculated that the strategy of conquering Guishang was arranged by Taiwei Sun. However, in Lu Xun's view, General Sun probably gave the suggestion of a surprise attack, but this series of plans was definitely not completed by him.
Guishang spent more than ten years, but Sun Taiwei did not have such patience. Lu Xun had a vague guess in his heart that it could not be arranged by the emperor himself?
Hearing Lu Xun's words, Sun Ce suddenly realized, and then he was overjoyed. Just as he was about to leave, Lu Xun quickly grabbed him and said seriously: "General, since General Zhang is unwilling to say more, I think this strategy cannot be made public. If General
If I tell others rashly, I'm afraid we will be held accountable, and it might even delay the military..."
"Hahaha, I understand this, do you think I am a fool?" Sun Ce couldn't help but asked with a smile. Lu Xun quickly shook his head and said, "I don't dare, kid."
"By the way, one more thing, why did the general treat the prince like that today?" Sun Ce asked again. Lu Xun quickly looked around, pulled Sun Ce back to the camp, and then whispered: "I see
, This is probably what the emperor meant. On the one hand, he wanted to temper the prince, and on the other hand, he wanted to let the prince know the difficulties of the military, and..." Lu Xun shook his head, but didn't say much.
Fortunately, Sun Ce did not continue to ask. He fell in love with Lu Xun more and more. He was lucky to have this boy by his side.
Lu Xun secretly guessed that perhaps it was because General Zhang was young and strong, and was extremely important as the leader of the Southern Army. The emperor wanted to make the prince dissatisfied with General Zhang... at least not to let this bellicose prince general in the future.
All important military positions were entrusted to General Zhang, but he did not dare to say such words.
If this is really the case, that day was successful. In the evening, Hu'er was able to walk. He walked out of the camp, unbearably hungry, and walked towards the gate of the school field. Along the way, the soldiers seemed to be watching.
Looking at him and whispering, this made Hu'er particularly angry. He walked all the way to the school grounds and was stopped.
Hu'er had already made up his mind. He was going to Houde Hall. He wanted to complain to his father and tell him how badly the general had treated him. He rushed to the door angrily, but the soldiers did not let him go out. The soldier
I don’t know where the courage came from, but I stood in front of him and said seriously: "The general has an order, no one is allowed to go out unless there is a general document issued by the general."
Hu'er was furious and asked: "The prince of the country can't leave?"
The soldier had no choice but to say: "The general once said that if the prince goes out, it is okay, but once he goes out, there will be no chance to return to the Southern Army. Even if the emperor punishes him severely, he will not let the prince supervise the army again!
"
When Hu'er heard this, he was even more helpless. How about writing a letter and informing his father about the situation here? After thinking for a moment, he gave up the idea. If he complained like this, wouldn't he make his father a joke, and everyone would also see it in the future?
I will underestimate myself, but no, I can't let Zhang Liao succeed, Hu'er thought angrily, but left and returned to his tent.
Hu'er's stomach was already growling, but no one brought food. This made Hu'er particularly uncomfortable. After waiting for a long time, he went out helplessly and asked a certain school captain who came over. Only then did he understand that he still had to wait half a minute.
It took him an hour to wait for the meal, and he had to eat with everyone else, no one would give him any more food.
When the time came, Hu'er walked out of the camp. Fortunately, as a supervisor, he did not have to eat and live with the soldiers, but had meals with some generals. When Hu'er came, many generals
After bowing, Hu'er returned the favor, and then everyone ate. In the army, the food was not very delicious, especially for Hu'er. Can these meals be called food?
However, Hu'er had no choice but to see that everyone was eating so deliciously. Besides, he had been hungry all day, and now he couldn't be picky about food. He could only accompany these generals to eat together. At first, these people were still a little bit
Although he was restrained and did not speak, a general with a beautiful beard spoke first, breaking the awkwardness. He seemed to get along with everyone, and the atmosphere became lively.
Hu'er ate faster and faster, and the meals became much more delicious.
When he left here and returned to his tent, he found that two people had been waiting for him. One of them was very young, and the other was the bearded man he had just seen.
He was a general. Although he had a big beard, judging from his age, he was not old. When the prince came, the two of them hurriedly saluted.
"My subordinate, Lü Meng, pays homage to the supervisory army. I lead five hundred people and serve as the five hundred personal commanders of the supervisory army."
"My subordinate Jiang Wei is here to pay a visit to the supervisory army. I will lead 300 people and serve as military lords of the pro-army army."
Hu'er's eyes widened and he looked at the two generals in front of him. After realizing that he also had an army of 800 people, he suddenly grinned.
