Chapter 19 Supported by the Three Armies
Chapter 19: Support from the Three Arms
Just when Xixia and Tubo were frightened and uneasy, Xiazhou was a different situation, with no laughter or cheers, and only thunderous snoring.
"Hululu! Hulululu!"
The snoring sounded, one after another, and the sound was heard, which was louder than thunder. The 200,000 Western soldiers were sleeping with their heads in their arms, and they were all drooling and sleeping heavily, and they couldn't wake up even with thunder.
"Puchi!Puchi!"
Wu Ji's army, who was patrolling, listened to the thunderous snoring, and each looked strange and couldn't help but feel funny.
"Did the Xibing and the others come to Hexi to fight Xixia dogs or to sleep soundly?"
"Listen to their snoring is louder than thunder. This is the loudest snoring I have ever heard in my life."
"Can the snoring of 200,000 people be less? That's 200,000 people."
Since the Western soldiers arrived in Xiazhou, they were relieved and could no longer hold on. They fell to the ground and fell asleep. Wu Ji's army was so busy that they helped one, one, and one, and someone fell down. They didn't know who to help. Later, 200,000 Western soldiers fell to the ground and slept. The scene was shocking. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that there was such a strange thing in the world.
As a result, Wu Ji's army was busy. Without Wu Ji's orders, they all knew what to do, carried the Western soldiers into the barracks to settle down and let them have a good sleep. Wu Ji's army spontaneously stood guard for them and took on the alert task.
Although he knew that the Western Army was trapped so much that he snored so much, it was still funny and surprising to hear it.
"What's that? The snoring sound in the room commanded by Wu Du was so loud! It's much more powerful than thunder."
"How do you know?" A soldier immediately started asking.
"I was ordered to report to the commander Wu to the military situation. The snoring sounds were louder and louder than each other. I was wondering whether this was a sound that a human could make? Even pigs didn't scream so loudly."
"Don't talk nonsense, the brothers of the Western Bing are really sleepy."
"Look at my mouth, how did I talk about pigs? I heard that the loudest one was a man named Yao Pingzhong. The snoring was even louder than the thunder, and you could hear it from afar. Tsk tsk, it was so difficult! Commander Wu was not only not annoyed, but was very happy. He took people here and there to see this one, and this one was cold, and he asked someone to deal with it immediately."
"The military orders under the command of Wu Du are very strict, but Wu Du commands are good, treats us well, and cares about our suffering. Following Wu Du commands like this, this life is worth it!"
"Yes! Commander Wu not only cares about us, but also cares about the Western soldiers and is working hard."
Just as the soldiers were talking about, Wu Ji was working hard for the Western soldiers and sent someone to inspect. If the Western soldiers did not cover the quilt, they had to cover it and not catch a cold. They also had to send people to prepare for food and drink. Once the Western soldiers woke up, they would immediately take some medicine, drink some porridge, and then they could eat and drink normally.
These things seem trivial, but the conditioning of 200,000 people is terrible, and Wu Ji and the others are busy.
"Boom! Boom!"
An unusually loud snoring is particularly noticeable and unique.
"This Yao Pingzhong!"
Wu Ji heard it and shook his head: "Others snoring at most will rumble, but he is so good that he actually rumbles. If one is not good, he thinks that thousands of troops are rushing."
"Haha!" Zhou Wei and the others smiled knowingly.
When it comes to snoring, almost half of the 200,000 Western soldiers were there. However, it is really funny that Yao Pingzhong made snoring like this, and it was just one person.
The Western Bing was particularly able to sleep. After five days and five nights, someone woke up. Then, some people woke up one after another, and they all woke up eight days later.
"I can really sleep, even more than we did on that day! I am worthy of being the Western Bing, and I can even sleep like this!" Zhou Wei shook his head and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Wu Ji's house was filled with people, including Zhou Wei, Huangfu Song, Qi Dabao, Han Fang, Li Mingchu, and other generals of the Wu Ji army, as well as Zhong Yan, Zhong Shidao, Zhong Shizhong, Yao Gu, Yao Youzhong, Yao Pingzhong, Li Xian, Tong Guan, etc., there were no less than a hundred generals of Western soldiers.
Wu Ji's house has always been wide and is now a little crowded. People are sitting together and talking.
Wu Ji glanced at him and the generals of the Western soldiers were all energetic, and their fierce energy came out of their bodies and basically recovered. He nodded secretly and praised him: "The Western soldiers are worthy of being the elite of the Song Dynasty. They have been the pillars of the Song Dynasty for decades, so powerful!"
"Congratulations to everyone, you have recovered as before." Wu Ji smiled.
"Haha! This is all taken care of by Commander Wu, otherwise we would not have recovered so soon." Zhong Yan smiled and thanked everyone on behalf of everyone: "Thank you Commander Wu!"
"Thank you, Wu Du's command!" The generals all bowed together. Without Wu Ji's careful care, they would not have recovered in such a short time. This thank you are extremely sincere.
"This is what we should do, and I dare not regard you as your gratitude." Wu Ji held his fists and returned the greeting.
Yao Gu clasped his fists at Wu Ji and said, "Commander of Wu Du, everyone: We met in Hexi, which is a grand event since the demise of the previous dynasty, which is a gratifying congratulations!"
"Haha!" Hexi is the inherent territory of China. It was incorporated into the territory as early as the Han Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty did not include the territory, which is a pity. Now, the Song army meets here, which is an extremely exciting event. The generals burst into laughter and the joy of entertainment is beyond words.
"But now is not a time to be happy." Yao Gu changed his tone amid the laughter of the generals and said, "After meeting, there are still many things to do. Destroying the Western Xia is only the first thing, including Tubo and the Western Regions."
"Yeah!" Li Xian took the conversation, nodded slightly, and said in his eunuch's unique sharp voice: "The land of Hexi is the only place for China to enter the Western Regions. It is hateful for the occupation of Western Xia, blocking the road and preventing the Song Dynasty from communicating with the Western Regions. Now, the demise of Western Xia is about to occur. Once Western Xia perishes, we will march into the Western Regions and conquer Tubo."
The geographical location of Xixia is too important. Once taken down, Tubo and the Western Regions will be put on the agenda and have to be dealt with. The generals nodded in unison and agreed loudly.
"It's true that snakes can't do without a head!" Yao Gu took back the conversation and continued: "Our Western soldiers have a total of 200,000, divided into three divisions, the Zong family army, our Gao family army, and General Li Xian's army, plus the army commanded by Wu Du, there are four divisions in total. If there is no one to command, it will be inconsistent with each other and fight each other, it will be difficult to accomplish. I mean, we should elect a general and lead each army. What do you think?"
Although the meeting in Hexi is exciting, there are also problems. The biggest problem is the problem of unified command. If the 250,000 troops do not have unified command, they will attack their own, be incoordinated and unable to reinforce each other, which will give Xixia an opportunity to take advantage of the problem of unified command, which is the top priority at the moment.
"What General Yao said is very reasonable. Our Western soldiers fought with Xixiagou for decades in Shanzhou and could not gain the upper hand. Although the terrain was complicated, the terrain was dangerous and difficult to coordinate, there was also a general who led the army." Zhong Yan was extremely convinced of this matter and sighed: "If there were someone in charge of our Western soldiers, we would not have been defeated for decades."
Shanzhou had a special terrain, so it was difficult to command it uniformly. At that time, without a convenient communication method like radio, it was too low to rely on people to deliver commands, and the orders were often unable to keep up with the changes in the battlefield. It was precisely from this point of view that the Song Dynasty did not send generals to the commands in Shanzhou, but let the generals guard the same place.
"I agree!" Wu Ji nodded.
"I agree!" Li Xian also expressed his opinion.
Zhong Yan, Yao Gu, Wu Ji and Li Xian are the commanders of the four armies. After the four of them expressed their opinions, this matter was decided. So, who will become the commander next?
"The Western Army is famous, and I have long admired the famous name." Wu Ji took the lead in expressing his opinion, saying: "This general should choose from the Western Army. Furthermore, the Western Army has the largest number of people, and this general is the Western Army."
Wu Ji's words are not humility, but facts. The amount of troops can also determine the situation, which is very important.
"The commander of Wu Du, this is wrong." Zhong Yan shook his head and said, "The number of our Western soldiers is the largest, but if we talk about reputation, if we use troops, if we are ***, we must be your commander of Wu Du. I recommend the commander of Wu Du."
"Me?" Wu Ji was very surprised.
Wu Ji really never thought about being a general, being a commander, and leading a 250,000 army. Zhong Yan, Yao Gu, Li Xian and others have all had a much older qualification than Wu Ji. Wu Ji has only been in the army for several years, and these three have been in the army for many years. Not to mention, the Zhong Family Army and the Yao Family Army are very famous. If you want to choose a commander, you should choose one of Zhong Yan and Yao Gu.
As for Li Xian, although he was a good general, his reputation was far inferior to Zhong Yao and his two, so he naturally could not be elected because of his reputation.
"Commander Wu, you must be thinking that General Zhong and I are very famous in the years and in the army, right?" Yao Gu shook his head and said, "But, we have been in the army for so many years, but we have no choice but to use Xixia Dog. It's so shameful! It's not as good as Wu Du commanding you. In just a few years of joining the army, we have made such great achievements. This general is the commander of Wu Du!"
"It is certainly pleasant to defeat Liaogou, but this is not the most gratifying thing." Li Xian's sharp voice sounded: "What is most pleasant is the changes in the Song army. In the past, the Song Dynasty adopted the strategy of using schools to control cavalry, but the Wu Du command advocated the strategy of using cavalry to control cavalry. Now, the strategy of the Wu Du command has proved that it is extremely correct! It is precisely because of the correct strategy that the Song army has such amazing changes and can win one after another. I dare to assert that this is just the beginning, and it will not take long for the Song Dynasty to have more powerful army. In the past period, the combat power of all the Song Dynasty's army will have a leap, even if it is comparable to the previous dynasty army. This is all the credit of the Wu Du command. If Wu Du command does not become a general, no one will be suitable."
"right!"
Zhong Yan and Yao Gu agreed in unison.
