I’m The King Chapter 260: : Haste makes waste

;Standing by the Yishui River, watching the roaring river collide with the embankment, arousing soaring waves, crystal water drops rising into the sky, rushing towards the face, the air is filled with a strong smell of water. The sudden spring flood made the forward of the Yan army led by Gao Yuan stay in a small village called Baiyang Village by the Yishui River. The Yishui River now has a taste of the Tuotuo River.

Half a month ago, the great battle in Jing'an ended with the victory of the Yan army. The army led by Zhao Qi was surrounded by Zhou Yu's 20,000 Yan army from both wings. If it wasn't for Zhao Dong's quick response, abandoning Gaoyuan's troops to quickly go to the rescue, taking advantage of the fact that the Yan army's encirclement was not yet stable, and cooperating with Zhao Zali to open the gap, the tens of thousands of Zhao troops would all be lost in Jing'an. In this way, this battle also killed more than half of Zhao Zha's elite. Zhao Qi was unable to fight anymore, so he could only retreat again and again, and finally retreated across the Yishui River, and returned to the city to regroup.

After the battle, the Yan army was not peaceful either. Jiang Dawei, the main general on the left, was unable to fight at a high altitude, which caused Zhao Dong to return to help. Later, facing the opportunity of the Zhao army's retreat, he led his army to wait and see, and did not stop him, so that the Zhao army On the grounds of being able to escape, Gao Yuan was tied with a rope, and he was about to beheaded in public. Jiang Dawei felt that he had a good reason, and he killed Gao Yuan very calmly, but Zhou Yu didn't want to get involved in the muddy water between them. Stand on the sidelines.

But what Jiang Dawei didn't expect was that his move almost aroused the mutiny of Gao Yuan's subordinates. The surviving 5,000 Yan troops from various counties.

For these county soldiers who were lucky enough to survive, Jiang Dawei had no good intentions and wanted to use them as cannon fodder and put them to death. , Which one has not received the favor of the Fufeng soldiers on the battlefield? Gao Yuan was bound, and the Fufeng soldiers climbed up and shouted, and thousands of soldiers immediately rushed out with swords and guns, and anyone who could move was facing the central army of Jiang Daying The battalion is coming.

As a result, the situation froze, Jiang Dawei didn't want to lose face, and these mutinous soldiers couldn't get back to Gaoyuan but had no intention of retreating, so they just persisted.

Same as before, Zhou Yu neither intends to stop Jiang Dawei from killing Gao Yuan, nor does he intend to send troops to put down the mutinous soldiers at this time. They just blocked the camp of the Chinese army, and they haven't swung knives and guns, screaming and shouting, and haven't rushed into the camp. Zhou Yu is also unwilling to meet these people with swords and guns. These people have just returned from a **** battle on the battlefield. Come back.

Actually, at this time, Zhou Yu is more interested in why this group of county soldiers, who were still scattered before the war, won the hearts of Gao Yuan and gathered under his command after the First World War. Compared with the previous 20,000 soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers who came down from the battlefield is much stronger, especially when those wounded soldiers return to the army, their combat effectiveness will be improved to a higher level.

This guy is really not simple!

Zhou Yu didn't make a move, but Jiang Dawei didn't dare to do it. Looking at the five thousand rebels with red eyes, Jiang Dawei didn't intend to use his own soldiers to suppress the rebellion. The loss was not small. If there is another fight with these rebels, Jiang Dawei is absolutely reluctant, but this face can't be saved no matter what. He refuses to give in, and the soldiers outside refuse to retreat.

At the end of the day, General Zhou Yuan resolved the situation with a single order.

"The victor is innocent! There is still a long way to go!" Zhou Yuan's letter to Jiang Dawei is very simple, but it is also meaningful. After Zhou Yuan's order, Jiang Dawei found the steps and had to pinch his nose to release Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan swaggered away from Jiang Dawei's Chinese army camp under the joyous crowd of five thousand soldiers.

Half a month's rest allowed Gao Yuan to reorganize the remaining army of more than 5,000 people. With the **** friendship on the battlefield, and seeing the majesty of the Fufeng soldiers on the battlefield , this time the reorganization went smoothly and smoothly. All the soldiers were disrupted from the original organization, regardless of the region, they were mixed according to the level of combat effectiveness, and five battalions were formed.

In this battle, only 5,000 of the 20,000 Yanjun soldiers were left, half of the 1,000 Fufeng infantry in Gaoyuan were lost, and only 40 of the 100 cavalry were left. The loss was heavy and heartbroken, Gao Yuan was glad that he was supported by more than 5,000 county soldiers. Just as he thought, these soldiers who survived the battlefield, whether in temperament or military discipline, were better than before the war. There have been earth-shaking changes.

Only after experiencing life and death, will you know the value of something.

Nearly 300 Fufeng soldiers were assigned to the reorganized army as grassroots officers, and Gao Yuan left a team of 200 people in his hands. These people will be used by him as pioneers. Integrate and control this new army The army is what Gao Yuan will accomplish in the next battle.

Meng Chong and Xu Yuan can already be regarded as their own people. These two people who took refuge in Gao Yuan first have gained Gao Yuan's trust. Naha, Yan Haibo, Meng Chong, and Xu Yuan have been appointed as the new battalion command.

The reorganization has not yet ended, and new orders have already arrived. Gao Yuan knows that Jiang Dawei will never let him go so easily. Before the Yanzhao war ends, his crisis will be over There is no past. But just as he thought before the battle, now he has survived the most difficult hurdle, and it is impossible to plot against him like the first battle in the future, but if he wants to be on the battlefield, It is basically impossible to kill yourself with a sword and a gun.

Let's go and watch! Gao Yuan didn't talk nonsense at all, he just took his army out of the camp, and the follow-up work after the reorganization can be done as they go. The veterans from Fufeng are very familiar with the rules of Fufeng. After becoming a junior officer of each battalion, he will soon implement Fufeng's discipline one by one.

Gao Yuan only said one sentence to them, "haste makes waste." I hope these new officers can understand what I mean.

The pace of progress is delayed with the coming of spring rain. It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, but for the army on the road, it is an out-and-out disaster. The road is muddy and difficult OK, the oxcart loaded with logistics materials will sink into the deep mud if you are not careful, and it takes a lot of effort to push them out of the mud, and when they push all the way to the Yishui River, Zhao The army had disappeared without a trace. When the Yan army was most annoyed, all the boats in the Yishui River were dragged away, and now only a few stone piers were left on the stone bridge across the Yishui River. The torrential river water that came in became a hindrance to their march.

"County Lieutenant, it looks like we have to wait for a few days!" Naha looked at the surging river, not without regret, and subconsciously touched his chin, but after winning this battle, he shaved the beard on his face To show his congratulations, except for touching his bare chin, the original hard stubble feeling no longer exists.

"It's okay to wait for a few days!" Gao Yuan was in a great mood, and he was not in a hurry. It's also good to wait for a few days, just to let himself digest these thousands of subordinates. If you eat too much at one time, you will inevitably feel a little bloated I feel that in the past few days of marching, the strict military discipline of the Fufeng soldiers has caused some complaints among the troops, and there have been many small conflicts. The long **** collapsed in the ant nest, these things must not be allowed to ferment.

"Tell our old brothers, in the army, we must talk about the generous treatment of our Fufeng soldiers, such as your food and clothing, your salary, your promotion channels, etc." Gao Yuan looked back at the days around him with a smile. General." The military discipline of the Fufeng Army is a bit stricter, but the corresponding treatment is not comparable to their original troops. Let them understand this, and let them understand that in the Fufeng Army, They have hope and hope."

Yan Haibo laughed, "County captain, the treatment of our Fufeng soldiers, not to mention them, even the Yuyang County soldiers are completely incomparable. Compared with the imperial court's standing army, we are not bad at all, and even more so The important thing is that everyone in our army has hope, everyone can become an officer, as long as you work hard enough, don't worry, when this war is over, I can guarantee that these guys, I will definitely roll up my bedroll and go back to Fufeng with us.”

"Take your time, boil the frogs in warm water, let them yearn for the Fufeng Army, but more importantly, in the next battle, let them rely on and trust this group, let them Be proud of this army." Gao Yuan waved his hand and said.

"Understood!" A group of Fufeng old people all smiled. When they came, there were more than a thousand soldiers, but when they returned, they brought back thousands of soldiers. If they think about it, they will definitely surprise Sun Xiao, Cao Tiancheng and others who stayed behind. His mouth was crooked, and Sun Xiao must have regretted it too much, and missed every big show.

"Infantryman, is your injury better?" Looking at the infantryman with thick bandages on his hands and hanging his entire arm, Gao Yuan was a little worried. The infantryman's archery skills are indispensable to him Sharp weapon, if it is seriously injured and cannot be recovered, then the loss will be great.

"It's okay!" The infantry smiled and said: "The doctor said that the arm is just overworked, and it's enough to rest well. It's the injury on the finger, which will take longer, and it won't be able to move the bow in a short time. .”

"Until your injury is completely healed, you are not allowed to use bows and arrows, let alone wielding knives and guns." Gao Yuan gave the order without doubt.

"Yes, county lieutenant, don't worry, I also want to get well soon, haste makes waste, I understand." The infantry smiled and said: "This time, I also made up my mind to train more Come out with a sharp archer, I'm busy with this right now!"

Gao Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

A few people were talking, and Meng Chong hurried over from a distance, his body was splashed with mud. "County Captain!" He yelled after a long distance.

"Meng Chong, come and talk!" Gao Yuan smiled and waved.

"Captain Gao, I'm really ashamed, you asked me to find a boat, but within tens of miles around, there are no boats at all, I spent a lot of effort to collect a few small fishing boats, it's useless! "Meng Chong sighed.

"It's okay, just look slowly, by the way, how is Xu Yuan doing?"

"Xu Yuan is busy cutting down trees to build rafts and repair bridges, but the progress is also very slow. This **** weather is really annoying!"

"It doesn't matter, chop slowly, build slowly, the important thing is to let Zhao Jun know what we are busy with!" Gao Yuan laughed.
