lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the Ten Kingdoms Qianjiao!

The wind brings the warmth of spring, and only in the morning does there remain traces of spring cold. The veteran Wang Jing and the three of his men rushed to a mound outside Fengcheng, flew into the wind, and watched with interest the marching soldiers.

The petals on the tree not far away are blown in the air by the wind. The light red color embellishes the forces pressed by swords and guns like forest and black with a touch of softness, iron torrents and peach blossoms, forming a marked contrast between strength and delicateness. But it blends naturally at a time.

"Ka, Ka, Ka..." The overall sound of heavy footsteps is relatively neat, just like the main tune of this symphony, simple, rough and rhythmic; it is also mixed with the clanging of armored swordsmen and horses. , As an accompaniment. The generals who were accustomed to this voice had an excited look on their faces; this kind of thing evoked the most memories and feelings of the warriors, and was the source of everything they had.

Wang Jingyuan watched the tiger's army, and sighed: "The elite are in the Forbidden Army."

The aides next to him said: "Guo Duzhi is too young in the end, he is eager for quick success and quick profit, and he has to suffer a bit to wake up."

The general said: "The roads in the Qinling Mountains are twisted and difficult. If you say you only have half a month's food, it is too short for me to think that he has made any achievements."

Wang Jing kept quiet: "If you can't take the mighty city within fifteen days, you will naturally retreat. Let him try."

After hearing this, the staff said indifferently: "What the prince said is extremely true, the banned soldiers led by the envoy of Guo Du, Zhenan Jieshuai Xiangxun will not stop it, and the prince is not easy to force it to stop."

...Zan Jurun, the Hakka ambassador in the Fengxiang Mansion's Office, seemed to be very optimistic that the Tigers could capture the city of Shu in half a month, but although he participated in the military plane, he did not interfere in military affairs and said nothing. Knowing that the Tigers and the Jiefang Army had indeed sent troops in advance, they wrote a memo.

The entourage was already waiting outside the door, Zan Juyun checked what he had written again and made sure that what he said was true.

At this moment, he lifted the brush and held it in the air, rubbing his beard lightly with his left hand in a contemplative manner. After a while, he quickly put the brush in the inkstone and dipped it back and forth, adding a few more lines to the back. The main general Wang Jing did not stop Guo Shao from asking for an urgent battle.

……

Fengxiang was very close to Chencang, and all the Tigers arrived in less than half a day. They camped again and rested, waiting for the supplies and equipment to be ready. Guo Shaoxian ignored the generals, instead recruiting Luo Yanhuan and others who stayed behind in Fengxiang to see him.

Luo Yanhuan and a female Taoist priest met in the house temporarily used as the army's impoundment. After months of absence, Guo Shao didn’t say a word of greeting, and asked directly: "Can there be changes in places like Tangcang Town?"

The military commanders are also used to this straight-and-go method. Luo Yan embraced his fists and said: "The final will be in Chencang, and he has met people from Tangcang Town five times. The last time was at the beginning of this month. The garrison is at least 6,000 people, and the number of food, grass, ordnance is unknown."

Guo Shao remembered in his heart, and thought about the main place north of Fengzhou in his mind. He turned his head to look at the female Taoist priest, about her early thirties, with freckles on her face, but a familiar person.

The female Taoist said clearly: "I only returned to Chencang today. General Luo asked me to come to see Guo Dushi together. He also heard that Saint Aunt was also here, so we came to visit together. We live in Qingniling. An, from the beginning of the first month of this year to the present, a large number of troops have been seen passing by Qingniling almost every day; it is difficult to navigate on the ridge and the road is often blocked. I hid in the mountains and forests behind the nunnery for a few days and counted over Qingniling. The number of people. At least one hundred and eighty-six people pass through on a sunny day, and a maximum of 321 people pass through; on rainy days, a few people pass by occasionally, up to twenty or thirty people. Qingniling is rainy, and it rains for a little while from January to March. In addition, when the road is muddy, half of the time is difficult to walk... 20,000 people have passed through Qingni Ling within three months; the weight of the grain is not easy to see, and there are those with mules and horses and carts. , And there are people who walk with them, it seems a lot."

Guo Shao was surprised after hearing that the ancients certainly did not understand the method of sampling statistics, but the method of the female Taoist priest by sampling the number of days and then performing the average superposition estimation is similar. I heard her speak very organized and articulate, and instinctively this woman is not stupid at all, so she specifically asked: "What is your name?"

The female Taoist replied: "If I go back to Guo Dushi, my surname is Wang, and I will be called Bai Xiangu after becoming a monk."

Guo Shao nodded and asked: "Qingniling is the only way on Chencang Road?"

Bai Xiangu said: "There is a post house in Qingniling, which is indeed the only way to the official road. But I learned from the nun's nunnery that there is a white water road to the east, but some fugitives and profiteers came out There are few people around the small road, and there is no post house to provide supplies. Usually people don’t take that small road. Therefore, the Shu army coming up from Xingzhou has to turn over Qingniling."

Guo Shao immediately said: "Luo Yanhuan is going to fight with the army. Bai Gu, you don't have to go back to Qingniling Temple, stay in the Chencang stronghold, take care of the work outside, ask clearly about the situation and write it down. How?"

Bai Xiangu turned to look at Jing Niang, Jing Niang nodded. She replied: "Yes."

Guo Shao then asked the female priest to retreat, and then sent someone to notify the commander to meet with the generals in the hall.

When the sixteen generals of the Tiger and Jie army arrived at the gate one after another, Guo Shao took the entourage by his side and walked into the hall quickly. The generals clasped their fists and bent over to perform the military salute, and said one after another: "Well, see Mr. Guo Du."

Guo Shao sat down on the chair above and waved his hand to indicate that the generals stood in two rows in a high and low order and looked sideways at Guo Shao.

"Three days later, the whole army will leave Chencang and march towards Sanguan." Guo Shaoxian said. Everyone watched him and listened carefully. "There is only one way from Sanguan to the former camp of the Shu army. The combat objective is very simple. The eight military villages in the front battalion of the Shu army are removed. At present, the number of enemy soldiers in the villages is unknown, but the roads of Shu are narrow and difficult to spread horizontally. The command is in the front, taking turns to attack, the main force is adjourned, and advances one by one..."

Suddenly, the generals eagerly said: "The final general is willing to be the forerunner!" Then the generals rushed to fight.

Guo Shaoxin said: These generals usually seem to be regular, but Wu Fu is not stupid. Everyone wants to do such a good thing... The military village in front of the mighty city is just a stronghold, serving as an early warning and buffer. Function, the troops are not much and they are divided into eight, each of them is not too difficult to defeat. The difficulty is low, but it is outstanding when discussing the merits. This is the first work.

"The first command of the first army, the second command." Guo Shao said loudly, raising his arm to stop everyone from shouting.

"The end is here!" Two generals stepped forward with joy. Another clasped his fist and said: "The final commander is Li Dazhu!"

Guo Shao pretended to be fair and said: "The road of Shu cannot be expanded horizontally. The army marches. The first army and the second army are deployed in sequence. You two are responsible for leading your troops to attack the eight military villages, one by one. Eat it. Li Dazhu played first, and the second commander played second, taking turns to rest."

A dark-skinned face|The rough Li Dazhu patted his chest and said: "We will break one in half a day. If we can't get it down, I will come to see you!"

"Okay!" Guo Shao praised.

But people can't be selfish. These generals are just their own subordinates, and all the credit has been taken. How can you give credit to those who serve you in the future? Guo Shaodang said: "Luo Yanhuan."

Luo Yanhuan, standing on the side, walked forward, clasped his fist and said: "Yes."

Guo Shao said again: "You line up for the former army."

The formation officer is a temporary position. Because the Zhou army is strong and often deploys the moon formation in field battles, there is usually a person responsible for coordinating the formation of the various ministries, that is, the formation officer. This position is not the actual position of the military power, so the chief general can be appointed in a certain battle...If it is to appoint a military position above the commander, the Tiger Jie Army usually has to report to the Guards and Infantry Division for approval.

Luo Yanhuan said quietly: "The final commander!"

Guo Shao now appointed Li Chuyun as the superintendent of the military camp according to the thoughts he has well thought out. It is still a temporary position for military merit; as long as he wins, Guo Shao can say that Li Chuyun is very effective in coordinating the march... Moreover, Li Chuyun has led soldiers to fight many battles, and he is definitely familiar with marching and camping. Using him in charge of this matter can at least prevent some errors caused by lack of experience.

The general’s confidant and his subordinates have all contributed. Guo Shao felt that his actions were fairly fair, and immediately said: “The general sent a horse to find out that the Shu army sent more than 20,000 troops to Qin and Feng in March. As long as you work hard, there are many opportunities for meritorious deeds. This general will also be remembered one by one in your heart. He will play all his merits and demerits when his classmates return to the court."

The generals worshipped.

Then Guo Shao ordered twelve commanders to select brave soldiers, each commanding one team, a total of twelve teams of three hundred men, to form the Chinese Army's guards on duty, let Yang Biao be the guard; Luo Mengzi was the lieutenant, the two People rotate on duty.

Guo Shao used tricks. According to the rules of the Department of Guards, commanding the following military positions generally delegated authority to all military commanders and only kept statistics; less than 300 people commanded, he appointed generals on the spot.

Guo Shao didn't want to ask the person, and let the military commanders be responsible. Anyway, he had seen it many times in the second army barracks, and there were no too weak soldiers; they were sent out by various generals, usually it didn't matter in the headquarters, they happened to be used by Guo Shao.

Everyone gathered in the yard, Guo Shao didn't bother, and arranged the combat affairs and personnel in two rounds, and then asked Li Dazhu and others to repeat the military order. He ordered the dissolution of the group.

On the eve of the dispatch of troops, Guo Shao called Zuo You again, and told him to take people to contact the civilian husband who sent food to the army after the battle, and go to the front to transport the wounded soldiers. Guo Shao knows Zuo You better, and this person has some bureaucratic minds, but the military strategy asked him if it was useless and basically useless, so he just got him some work.

Three days later, the whole army opened up, leaving Chencang and marching towards Sanguan. The twelve commanders formed a column, dispatched one by one. The officials of Wang Jing's aides' office also followed with the civilian husband to help carry the luggage. For a time, the road was vast and mighty, like a long dragon.
