Chapter 241
Uncle Hei introduced his name, which made Lord Xinling laugh. Although it was difficult to see how dark his face was in the dark night, since it was named after him, it must be true, and his face must be interestingly dark.
Lord Xinling introduced Uncle Tang to Uncle Hei and said: "The front army of Gu Lao has asked Uncle Tang to take the grain to the camp, and Uncle Hei will guide him!"
Lord Xinling was so young, but he called himself "lone", which shocked Uncle Hei. He looked at the young man in scholar's clothes in front of him again. Although his face was covered with dirt, he had a certain sense of style. He suddenly thought of the military
According to legend, the world-famous Lord Xinling was "supervising the battle" in the army. He immediately thought that the young man in front of him might be Lord Xinling, but he was not sure, so he could only answer vaguely: "Inheriting the virtues of a young master, a humble commoner must be a good man."
Report it to the general."
Lord Xinling saw that Uncle Hei called him "Young Master" and thought that Uncle Hei knew him, so he encouraged him: "But if you have to be brave, I will never let you down."
Uncle Hei responded loudly: "Here~!"
Soon, the front army finished loading and the convoys left the city one after another. Zhong Yue signaled to the verger's retainers to announce that Lord Xinling had retired. The retainers climbed up to the city gate and shouted loudly: "The front army has been fighting for days. The general has worked hard for you. Give him a gift."
Twenty times of food!"
When the soldiers who were leaving the city heard this, under the leadership of Uncle Hei, they shook the ground with their feet and shouted in unison: "Long live! Long live! Long live!" The sound shook all directions, and people in the military camps not far away looked in this direction.
.
Thirty people drove out of the city and meandered all the way. Everyone who saw the military camps along the way was surprised and envious. Soon word spread among the camps, and the general thanked the front troops for repeated battles and gave them more food. As for what happened?
However, few people can tell clearly, the few are ten vehicles, and the many are hundreds of vehicles. What's more, there are rumors that the front army has made great gains, and the general will reward them! The fighting spirit of each battalion has greatly increased due to this.
The grain trucks were transported to the front army. The former army would only increase the quota by one stone for each battalion engaged in the battle, and the civilian army would increase the quota by one stone, and strictly ordered that only the quotas be given to each battalion engaged in the battle. The rest of the grain would be left outside the account. Uncle Tang returned with the grain and handed over the order.
, it was already decided to report the former general’s handling of the grain to Lord Xinling. Lord Xinling nodded in thanks, but said nothing more. Uncle Tang retreated in dismay.
Shortly after Uncle Tang left, he was dragged by Jin Bi to see the terrain. The Third Division and the retainers who had taken charge of the mission all came back. They poured into Huayang Wei Mansion, and the courtyard immediately became crowded.
After Mr. Xinling paid his condolences as usual, Mr. Zhongyue brought out sake. Everyone drank a cup, and then sat down one by one.
Lord Xinling asked: "What is your order, sir?"
Zhang Noi pointed at the ground and explained in detail the location of each battalion tomorrow, the route of entry and the essentials of the formation; the Third Division and other disciples made supplements. Lord Xinling nodded with satisfaction, thinking that everyone knew their own tasks, so he asked the Third Division
Si returned to camp and prepared for tomorrow's battle.
Seeing that everyone was gradually dispersing, Lord Xinling said to Zhang Ye, Mr. Zhongyue and the remaining retainers: "How many times will Mr. Xinling come out to help in the battle?"
Zhang Noi said: "But dozens of people are enough!"
Lord Xinling said: "Is it okay to have ten chariots and a hundred soldiers accompanying me?"
Zhang Yu said: "Why should I take it? I am willing to reduce it!"
Lord Xinling said: "I am willing to attach my tail to my husband and follow him out into the battle as a pawn. I hope you will not abandon me!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. They all fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please don't..."
Lord Xinling shouted in a low voice: "Quietly!" and interrupted everyone. Lord Xinling said: "I am here alone, not to supervise the war, so I don't show off my flag or make any noise. But I feel a little sick, and I am recuperating in my house.
. He mingled among the princes and was a small pawn, and no one knew about it. All civil matters in the city were left to Mr. Zhongyue, and all military matters were left to Simang. The key points of the entire army were in the hands of the Jin officials;
, I entrust you to Mr. Zhang. I have witnessed the situation on the battlefield with my own eyes, and am aware of the struggle between the two armies. I dare not say a word and offer a strategy. I hope all gentlemen will tolerate it!" After saying this, he bowed deeply.
This low-profile statement left everyone speechless. After a moment of silence, a retainer said: "Since your Majesty has come out in person, all the ministers are willing to accompany you!"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "No! Only a hundred people are enough to accompany you. You must know that your Majesty is not going out in battle, but to recuperate in the palace. You must have all the gentlemen accompanying you to hide the eyes and ears of others. Therefore, for this trip, the gentlemen can only have ten times a hundred people."
,——This is the ultimate gift from your Majesty!”
Zhang Zhuo said: "Who is accompanying me? May your Majesty tell me!"
Lord Xinling said: "I have been granted the honor of Sir, and I am alone in attaching a tail. My wish is fulfilled, and others have never heard of it." He bowed to all the gentlemen one by one.
Everyone had to sit down again and discuss the matter of marching out: ten by thirty people, plus one hundred foot soldiers, a total of one hundred and thirty people. They all need to be both civil and military. They must be able to make plans and act as guards; if necessary, they may also
He had to lead the army into battle, and even had to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy. Everyone decided that in addition to Mr. Zhongyue, the people in the courtyard, including Zhang Noi, Guo, Jin, Cao and other ten gentlemen, had all followed Jin Bi to inspect the position and set out together.
As it should be. Each person chooses twelve more people to serve as bodyguards.
Mr. Xinling interjected: "I am willing to ride on the right side of Mr. Guo's car."
Mr. Guo bowed and said: "How dare I, I obey my order! I ask Mr. Xiahou to be my emperor, I hope your Majesty will allow it!"
Lord Xinling said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr.'s strength, how can I dare to respond?"
Mr. Xinling and Mr. Guo were in the same car, so the choice of Mr. Guo's bodyguard was not a matter of one person. Several gentlemen got together to discuss and finally decided on a list of ten infantrymen.
Among the current 600 passengers, most of them have jobs. Moreover, the 300 people who left the city later were all short brown and did not have leather armor. Only the 300 people who left the city for the first time had armor. Someone suggested that the candidates for the battle were from the three with armor.
When choosing among a hundred people, Lord Xinling disagreed and said: "Gentlemen, you are far away from home and working hard, how can you tolerate one meritorious service and not achieve meritorious service? I just think that it is okay for a person with a small job to go out and make meritorious deeds."
Several retainers thought for a moment and decided that this was fine: they chose the entourage from retainers without any job title, and no one would have thought that Lord Xinling would be among them. - Of course, the ten people who accompanied Lord Xinling to guard him were not among them, so then
He must be the best among the best. Even if he has a huge responsibility, he must put it down and become a foot soldier.
With the general direction in mind, the list of people to go out at dawn was decided. Many of them were carrying dog-beating sticks out of the city for the second time. Not to mention armor, they didn’t even have weapons. After discussion, Zhang Yue and others decided to start from
One hundred halberds were obtained from the arsenal of Huayang City, one for each person except the driver and the charioteer; one hundred and twenty swords, one for each person except the charioteer. Each of the ten charioteers was also issued a sword.
A bow, a shield and fifty arrows. In short, everything is equipped according to wartime.
After the matter was settled, everyone carried out the task separately. According to Lord Xinling's opinion, do not tell the guests that you are going to the battle, so as not to cause a big disturbance. Everyone also believed that the fewer people who know about Lord Xinling's battle, the better.
The greater the safety, the better. Everyone goes to find the person he recommends, or invites them to ride with him tomorrow, or follow behind his car to go into battle. He dare not say that Lord Xinling will go into battle, but only invites them with the sword and halberd they can get. Most of them
Everyone agreed, and a few people who were unwilling quickly made adjustments. Lord Xinling himself returned to the East Pavilion.
The child who had just been named Gai Nie had fallen asleep quietly, and the little slave was sitting by the door waiting as usual. There were straw mats and quilts and pillows under the window in the pavilion. Although there was a waning moon in the sky, the moonlight was dim as it shuttled between thick clouds. The little slave saw
Lord Xinling came over, knelt down and straightened up. When Lord Xinling saw the slave, he suddenly felt a little warm. He put his hand on the slave's salute, pulled her up, and whispered: "Sleep with you, and you will get your wish."
no?"
The little slave lowered his head and whispered: "I am lucky to have to serve you!" The two held hands and walked under the window together.
Ge Nie suddenly opened his eyes and silently watched everything happening under the window through the faint moonlight outside the window.
Zhang Ye and Mr. Zhong Yue stayed up all night, taking a group of retainers and preparing chariots, horses, armor, bows and arrows, etc., until the sound of drums from the camp was heard.
After hearing the sound of the drums, each battalion beat the drums in turn to gather the crowd. Lord Xinling was served by a slave and dressed up his clothes and armor. He looked at the bow and arrow at his feet, thought about it, and still did not take it. - He was giving the gift today.
Mr. Guo is on the right side of the chariot and needs to hold a halberd for close combat without shooting arrows.
The disciples who have been confirmed to be out of the battle have already lined up in front of the mansion: ten chariots are lined up on the west side of the mansion. The driver controls the reins and stands on the left side of the chariot.
The footmen stood on both sides of the steps in front of the door; the footmen stood facing the door of the mansion, at an angle of 90 degrees to the motorcade, so that they could not see the right side of the car. Lord Xinling stood quietly in the row on the right side of the car. When the doorman next to him saw that it was Lord Xinling, his face changed.
Everyone looked surprised. Lord Xinling motioned for everyone to keep quiet. The disciples understood this and made no special moves.
Zhang Ye waited for a roll call on the steps in front of the mansion and conducted pre-war mobilization. Then he announced the weapons that each person could receive and the order in which they should receive them: both the left and right carts went to the west step wall where the carriages were to receive their weapons, while the infantry
Receive it under the east wall on the other side. Lord Xinling calmly went to receive his weapon. Since there are not many long weapons in the city and even fewer halberds, the long weapons for the ten chariots are all different, which is different from the plan.
place. Although Lord Xinling was deliberately politely asked to take it first, he did not take the halberd that everyone liked, but chose the longest weapon: the Yi spear. The Yi spear is the longest weapon used by chariot soldiers.
It is difficult for ordinary people to operate; the heavy spear body has a high center of gravity and is constantly shaking. Lord Xinling holds the handle with both hands and controls the spear body steadily by his side.
Once such a long spear was raised, it stood out like a chicken in a flock. It was impossible not to attract attention. The guests all looked in this direction. Zhang Yue and others secretly complained in their hearts: they had tried their best to cover up Lord Xinling's appearance in the battle.
In fact, I don’t want it to be completely destroyed with just a spear. Although Lord Xinling was in the darkness, the guests were well aware of Lord Xinling’s every move. With just one look, they realized that this person looked familiar.
A closer look showed who it was if it wasn't Lord Xinling. The diners were all sensible people and found that Lord Xinling did not appear in the queue on the left side of the car, but was on the right side of the car. They immediately understood the mystery, so they didn't say anything.
