Chapter 903: Ordered to Suppress Bandits
(Thanks to the book friend "Soul Drunk in Xiangxi" for the 5 recommendation votes.)
Xie Yu suddenly thought to himself, according to netizens: "This powerful man is not talking about his current father, Chengyang Hou Lingyi!"
Of course, he couldn't say that, but he just said: "I believe that the major general will be able to detect those moths and moles."
After receiving the military order, he paid homage to Yu Fake Army Marquis. In addition to leading the 20 Lin troops under his command, he also went to the Longshou original forbidden army camp outside the city and ordered 200 forbidden soldiers.
At this time, Xie Yu understood that although the Yulin army was small in number, it not only guarded the palace, but also served as a reserve officer.
There was a little incident in the middle. I went to Longshouyuan Forbidden Army camp to recruit troops. As expected, the weather turned cold, or I thought that the troops who surrendered to the bandits were not doing much.
Many of the guards had no intention of going to war.
Fortunately, Emperor Wen took over the country not long ago, and his military spirit has not dissipated, and there are many people who are eager to make contributions.
In addition, Xie Yudian's army was not large in number, so the troop deployment went smoothly.
Then open the arsenal and collect available weapons.
How should I put it? This capital is worthy of being a dynasty Kyoto, with a superior arsenal.
Xie Yu also armed himself well in the name of going on an expedition.
Although the craftsmen who produce weapons in the imperial court now supervise the production of weapons, they try to be as close to a standard as possible in order to achieve uniformity in battle performance.
But after all, this is the feudal handicraft era, and the production of weapons naturally has upper and lower limits.
Xie Yu entered the arsenal, although he could not enter the inner treasury due to military orders.
But there was no shortage of fine products in the outer treasury, so Xie Yu immediately changed his clothes.
And I already had a plan in my mind. When I came back from this expedition, except for the military armor, I had to report it as damaged and use it for my own use.
For example, a new good bow, although the original bow power is only worth one stone and seven fights, a special metal alloy should have been "unintentionally" added to the bow body.
I asked Xie Yu to make some adjustments and get a suitable bowstring in Zou Nong. The bow power was increased to three stones. Xie Yu thought there would be no problem.
It can be said that I picked one leak, there are other small leaks, but I don't have this bow, which makes Xie Yu pay more attention to it.
Since then, Xie Yu's old worn-out bow, which had cost not three but five hundred lives, can be retired.
Going out to capture bandits, this small team of about two hundred people was too inconspicuous, so Major General Ling Buyi came over to see him off.
Then he set off in a low-key manner.
In general, the imperial court was not stingy about weapons, but when Xie Yu wanted more war horses, the imperial court was very stingy and only approved twenty horses.
Xie Yu was very disappointed. Even if he asked Major General Ling Buyi to make peace, he still didn't add five more horses. This was just for the sake of Major General Ling Buyi's face.
But when these war horses were obtained, Xie Yu was even more depressed. What war horses?
Most of them were pack horses, so Xie Yu could only bring his three horses, which were fostered at the Major General's Mansion in Longxi.
I can barely raise enough cavalry, eight cavalry.
This was far different from Xie Yu's expectations. He thought that this time the bandit surrender was the first time Xie Yu received military orders to go on an independent expedition, or that there was also a test for him by Major General Ling Buyi.
Xie Yu took back the gold cake from the Major General's Mansion and wanted to buy a big house in the capital.
I ordered a lot of light sidecars, baggage carriages, pack horses, and mules and donkeys purchased by Qi Ren in the mule market.
At least it can carry more supplies, and it can be considered a mobile infantry.
There is no way it would be faster than letting the sergeants rush on foot!
Since he was not taken seriously, Xie Yu decided to perform better.
Generally speaking, when an ancient feudal army was deployed, in addition to sufficient money and food, it was necessary to ensure complete military operations for the purpose of combat, and it was also necessary to recruit two to three times the number of civilians to accompany the army.
The civilians were responsible for filling in the moat during the siege and consuming the enemy's arrows and other defensive supplies.
It also provides logistical support for combat soldiers, allowing them to recharge their batteries and focus on fighting.
Of course, to exaggerate, sometimes civilians have to replace the role of military rations, but this is only a special situation.
However, Xie Yu's army has too few people, and it can be considered an internal battle.
In terms of food and grass, only a small amount of supplies are needed at the inns along the way.
As for the civilians, the military order considered that at least the road was smooth and smooth, so no requirements were made at first.
When they arrived at the border of Yanzhou, Yanzhou was asked to send a certain number of state soldiers and civilians to cooperate with Xie Yu and others.
Xie Yu had just entered the capital for a few days, and the situation was still unclear, so he could only follow orders first.
With the help of donkeys and mules carrying carts, a team of 200 people arrived in Yanzhou in just three days.
After submitting the military order document to the governor's office, the governor's office did not pay much attention to the bandit army coming from the capital and only sent a clerk to coordinate.
According to the requirements of military orders, it is also necessary to write "state soldiers".
However, only two hundred civilians were given to him. His subordinate, Sergeant Yu Lin, saw that he was so slighted and had the urge to fall out. Xie Yu quickly stopped him.
Because Xie Yu understood that this was not the scribe's mistake.
Moreover, it was obvious that the clerk was really afraid that these soldiers from the capital would fall out with each other, so when he received the order to coordinate the military, he was afraid of being distracted for a while, so he tried his best to select young civilian men for Xie Yu and others.
Xie Yu saw all this, so naturally he wouldn't make things difficult for him.
For these Habayashi sergeants, they may have seen too many high-ranking officials in Miyagi, just like the money counters of big banks, but they don't know that county magistrates are not as good as current managers.
What's more, we are now in Yanzhou, their territory.
I heard that the governor of Yanzhou was a descendant of the Cui family of Qinghe, a noble family in Hebei. The Cui family of Qinghe was a family with four surnames and five hopes.
It doesn’t mean that if you want to marry, you should marry a girl with the five surnames. Among these five surnames is Cui.
However, I don’t know whether Cui Shijun of Yanzhou despises him or if someone is obstructing him.
The situation is unclear, but the main focus is still on immobile production.
Xie Yu told the clerk that he wanted to purchase mules in this city, and that donkeys would lead the cart instead.
Seeing that he could avoid being beaten, the clerk naturally put in some effort and saved Xie Yu a lot of money.
I skipped this matter and spent a day in Yanzhou City repairing it.
The convoy continued to set off, and then passed through some counties. The officials also dispatched civilians to support Xie Yu in capturing the bandits.
The team expanded to 600 people.
It didn't take more than one day, but Xie Yu finally made a plan in his mind to temporarily surrender the bandit garrison camp and clear the county seat.
As for why we chose this place, on the one hand, it is the only place for communication between Shu and the capital.
Second, the area between Qing County and Sichuan began to become high and densely forested because the remaining mountains were gone.
According to the information report, most of the incidents of robbing pedestrians and intercepting caravans occurred on this section of the road.
It is rumored that there are over a hundred bandit villages, large and small, on this road, among them there are deserters from the previous dynasty, fugitives who killed and destroyed their families, frustrated Jianghu people, and descendants of careerists who failed in their rebellion.
When they arrived at Qing County, Magistrate Cheng Cheng led the prominent figures in the county to go out of the city to greet him, finally giving the sergeants some sense of importance.
Xie Yu was also very happy. With the help of local gentry and local snakes, they cooperated in suppressing the bandits. From the intelligence point of view, half of the victory was won.
Regarding this, Xie Yu knew that he should be more cautious.
County Magistrate Cheng Lao: "Thank you, Marquis Jun, and the people of this county hope that the imperial court will suppress the bandits, as bright as the stars and the moon."
Xie Yu suddenly thought of his current identity as a fake soldier, and said politely: "Mr. Cheng, you are too polite. In my opinion, this army is like a fish, and the people are like water. How can a fish survive without water?"
