Facing his two personal army commanders, Hu'er was just stunned for a moment, and then recalled the stories Lu Bu had told him. He thought for a moment, and suddenly grabbed their hands, holding Lu Meng's in his left hand. He grabbed Jiang Wei's hand with his right hand and said seriously: "With the help of the two captains today, I will definitely be able to make great achievements and kill the leader of thieves!!"
These words can be described as aspirational, making people's blood boil when listening to them. However, the two people in front of him were stunned, and Lu Meng slowly said: "But, we are responsible for guarding the supervisory army... we can't kill them." Thief Chief..."
This was a bit embarrassing. Hu'er then remembered that he was not a vanguard. According to Zhang Liao's character, he would definitely not be allowed to be a vanguard. This time when he went outside the Great Wall, could he just watch? While others are fighting, are you supervising the troops in the rear? Suddenly, Hu'er lost interest and his expression became a little gloomy. Fortunately, his two personal guards were not all fools.
At least Jiang Wei is not. Zhang Liao sent the two of them here and told him some things. He can understand the young prince in front of him very well. He desires fame, so why not himself? Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Your Highness, I heard that in the past, during the reign of Taizu, he had rewarded his ministers. At that time, Marquis Cao had made great achievements in battle and should be ranked first. However, Taizu let Marquis Fou, who had never fought in battle, take the first credit."
Hu'er was surprised. These days, Master Shijun has been teaching him history, especially the history of the Han Dynasty. Jiang Wei told him that he had already heard Master Shijun say that in terms of history, Jiang Wei might also Not as good as Hu'er. Just as Hu'er was about to say that he knew, he remembered his father's teachings in Houde Hall. At this moment, the young prince asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
"This is because Marquis Fou has been preparing grain and fodder in the rear and handling internal affairs. Without Marquis Fou, those generals would not have been able to achieve such great achievements. Now, although His Highness is not responsible for transporting grain and fodder, he is in charge of supervising the army. It is to supervise the military and punish military thieves. It is also an extremely important position for the military. Today, there are far fewer generals than there were in Taizu's time..."
"The people who transport grain and grass today are far less talented than Marquis Feng..."
"But His Highness's position is more important than that of Marquis Fou. Why can't His Highness follow the example of Marquis Fou? How about winning the first achievement?"
Hearing Jiang Wei's words, Lu Meng also nodded and said: "What he said makes sense. Truly talented people can shine brightly no matter where they are, and will not be hidden. For example, a person like me...even if he is in the position of pro-military, he can help His Highness win the first victory!"
Jiang Wei's face twitched, but he didn't speak again.
When Liu Qu heard this, he was really overjoyed. He quickly held the two people's hands tightly and said excitedly: "You are really my champion! With two people helping me, why worry about not having meritorious deeds?" Jiang Wei was shocked and quickly declined. , only Lu Meng actually nodded with a smile. Liu Qu pulled them into the tent. The three of them sat down and started chatting enthusiastically.
From what he said, he learned that Jiang Wei was born in military science, and he was the third person to win a championship in military science. He was young, but he was deeply appreciated by everyone. Of course, in Jiang Wei's words, he was still far inferior to the military. The senior middle class still has a lot to learn. Now he is learning from everyone. Liu Qu said: "You are a great talent. There are few people in the Southern Army who can compare with you."
"I don't dare. My subordinates are studying hard, but they don't have the courage of Captain Ma, the strategy of General Zhang, the wisdom of Captain Lu, and the courage of Captain Sun..." Jiang Wei was very humble, and he didn't have the slightest bit of youth. People are arrogant, but when Hu'er asked him for advice on various matters in the army, he actually told him everything he knew. Hu'er was shocked. This is definitely a top talent in the army, and he is extremely humble. He is a person who can be his confidant.
He often heard his master say that the more talented a person is, the more humble he will be.
After enthusiastically wooing Jiang Wei, he looked at the bearded man beside him. Sure enough, the bearded man was not very old. Surprisingly, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I am better than him." I am much older, and I was the second person to win a championship in military science. Now, I serve as General Zhang's deputy in the Southern Army, and everyone admires me."
He was completely different from Jiang Wei. His words were full of boastfulness, which could not be called arrogance, but made Hu'er look down on him. However, when he began to correct the mistakes in Jiang Wei's words, and Jiang Wei asked him seriously for advice. , Hu'er's eyes also widened, isn't it said that the more humble you are, the greater your ability? This guy feels wrong. Listening to their conversation carefully, Hu'er felt that he had learned a lot.
Hu'er naturally became more friendly towards Lu Meng. Hu'er asked: "I wonder why the general has such a beard?" Han people love beards, but there is also a punishment for shaving off beards in the law. However, Lu Meng's beard His beard was also too long, and it felt like there was no one with such a beautiful beard like him in the entire Southern Army. Lu Meng seemed to be recalling, and he said:
"When I was in Guishang with the army, I met the commander of the Northern Army by chance. His name was Guan Yu. He was such a handsome man. He called me over, and after chatting for a long time, he was impressed by me. He insisted that I looked like an old friend. He was very close to me and taught me the art of war. He wanted me to join the Northern Army, but the lieutenant refused. After that, I also grew a long beard. I thought, if I keep a beard like him, Probably even more beautiful than him..."
The three of them chatted for a long time and then talked about the next thing. Lu Meng had studied this aspect quite a lot. He said seriously: "Starting from tomorrow, it is better for the supervisor to take us to ask those soldiers. Check to see if any military pay has been deducted, whether the food is enough to satisfy the hunger, and whether there are any unwarranted insults by the generals... First of all, we must make the soldiers recognize the supervision of the army..."
The next day, Hu'er followed Lu Meng's suggestion, took two people and ten soldiers with him, and began to question the soldiers in each camp. Jiang Wei picked up his pen and ink to record these questions and answers. The soldiers saw the prince They were initially afraid when they came, but after hearing that the prince seemed to want to support them, a few people came forward and talked about some things they had been bullied about.
For example, a corps commander named Chen Xin reported to the prince that a military prince once asked him for a thousand dollars, and said that if he could not pay it, he should not continue to be promoted. When he learned about this, Hu'er was furious and immediately sent Jiang Wei to arrest the prince. Without bothering the prince to interrogate him personally, Lu Meng stepped forward and severely criticized him. The prince was so frightened that he revealed his crime.
Hu'er looked at the man angrily and asked, "According to the law, how should we deal with it?"
"Anyone who asks for a bribe in the army should be beheaded."
Hu'er didn't waste any time, he pulled out his sword suddenly, and killed the military prince who was kneeling on the ground with one strike. Then he looked at the crowd and said seriously: "As a supervisor, I want to make decisions for the soldiers.
If there are problems in the army such as bullying of soldiers, deduction of military pay, etc., everyone can come to me. I would rather lose my position as supervisor of the army and I will make the decision for you. Even General Zhang cannot violate it!"
"Thank you so much, Supervisor!!!"
Everyone shouted, "That's it." For three consecutive days, Hu'er strictly investigated these matters in the military camp. Jiang Wei found two more cases for him. One of them was that a chef in charge of logistics actually secretly
After being greedy for some meat, there was another one who was Zhang Liao's personal guard, but this person leaked the contents of the discussions in the camp. Both of them were killed by Hu'er without mercy.
For a time, the soldiers loved this supervisor very much, and the generals also strictly required those around them to abide by military laws. Moreover, because Zhang Liao reprimanded the prince of the dynasty for military laws, the morale of these new soldiers in the Southern Army was extremely high for a while, and they were very concerned about the people outside the wall.
There was no fear in this war, and they were eager to try it. After three days of preparation, suddenly, the Southern Army set off and left Luoyang with great fanfare.
The emperor did not come to see Hu'er off, but the little girl from the Wang family cried to see Hu'er off.
Looking at the little girl with tears on her face, standing on the roadside shouting her name, Hu'er couldn't help but feel sad. What a pity, if you were a man, I could have sworn brothers with you and go on the war together.
The Southern Army still left Luoxian County. On the way, Hu'er also learned a lot, such as the transportation of food, how the three armies advance, formations, etc. He was particularly curious about these, as did Lu Meng and Jiang Wei.
He was informed that he was constantly patrolling the army with his own troops. If anyone fell behind, he would be severely punished. Fortunately, although most of these people were new recruits, the training was still solid and there was no case of falling behind.
After leaving the Sili area, the entire army speeded up again. Zhang Liao even led his men off the original road, and instead went into some mountains and forests, hoping to avoid everyone and not be discovered by others. Obviously
It was impossible. This was the hinterland of the Han Dynasty and there were a lot of household registrations. However, Zhang Liao still issued an order to try not to alarm others.
It is not an easy task for tens of thousands of troops to march in such a hurry and to be stealthy. Hu'er seemed to understand something when he saw everyone in a hurry and gradually adapted to such a high-intensity march. However, he also
As a member of this high-intensity march, during the formal march, he finally understood why the master took him so far that day.
On the fifth day of the march, Hu'er's legs were worn out. After riding for a long time, the pain all over his body became more and more serious. Hu'er gritted his teeth and remained silent. Such an action, on the contrary,
Lu Meng and Jiang Wei were amazed. After half a month, Hu'er found that he had become accustomed to such a high-intensity march. In just fifteen days, he endured fatigue and pain that he had never endured in his life.
.
Oh, no, he has endured the pain.
In November of the 17th year of Yankang, the Southern Army finally arrived in Hezhou. At this moment, news of the Northern Army also came from the northwest. Guan Yu personally led the team and led a group of elites towards the
