Chapter 64 All the way west
The negotiations between Li Yuan and Su Jiao achieved a delightful result.
With a city that you expected to give up, you can get real benefits. The acquisition of armor and weapons can improve the combat effectiveness of Li Yuanjun as a whole, and the five hundred war horses can maximize the power of Li Yuanjun's motor. If you attack thousands of miles apart, you will be asked for a word "fast".
Li Yuan was very proud. Originally, the bottom line of his negotiation was one thousand battle tools, plus five hundred battle horses, and now there were three hundred more battle tools, which was thanks to Chen Ping's handsome plan.
Looking at the backs of Li Yuan, Luo Jia and others leaving, Meng Hu was furious. In Meng Hu's eyes, this negotiation was simply a shame and humiliation. Su Jiao and Gongsun Auntie were completely trapped in the trap designed by Li Yuan and Chen Ping. These two people can be regarded as one person, so why would they be so mentally retarded?
Unfortunately, Su Jiao was still complacent after being trapped. The combat equipment and war horses of the army here were not blown by the strong wind, especially the most precious horses in the Central Plains, with 500 war horses. Su Jiao almost sold a scout cavalry.
"Mr. Su, Hu has objections to what he agreed just now." When Li Yuan and others left, Meng Hu vented his dissatisfaction at Su Jiao. As a young newcomer in the border army, the generation gap between Meng Hu and the older generation of Su Jiao and other generals cannot be compensated. This is a collision between a part of the general who is eager to make progress and a general who is silently abiding by the rules. This is the case with the border army, and other armies will also encounter it. Whether it can be solved well depends on the master's belly.
Unfortunately, Su Jiao was obviously not a very scheming person. When she heard Meng Hu's dissent, Su Jiao, who was thinking about how to teach the restless Gongsun Ying a lesson, couldn't help but be furious.
"Meng Duwei, I, Su, don't need you to give me some advice on the decision of the Southern Expedition Army. Just take care of your subordinates." Su Jiao snorted coldly and stared at Meng Hu with a cold look.
The Meng family is indeed not a sloppy character. A mere lieutenant, who is very experienced, was just because of his uncle Meng Tian’s care, but he didn’t know how to pull out Su Jiao’s tiger beard.
"Forget it, the Meng Duwei is just talking about it, why should the general take it seriously? No matter what, Xingyang City has returned to the border army. Next, let's discuss it carefully. In the hands of this food route, you should do something else in addition to transporting grain." Gongsun Ying's neck was red, and she leaned her body towards Su Jiao charmingly.
Xingyang is located in the center of Guandong, and the traffic of the Yellow River waterway is key. Whether it is from south, north, or east, all ships must be transported here. What Gongsun likes is the strong transportation capacity of the Qin army's grain transport fleet. At that time, she can make huge profits with just a little skill.
Of course, all this is not on the surface. Qin State is lowly merchants and farmers, and ordinary officials, generals or civilians will not run trades. Only those who are accomplices like Gongsun are not afraid of what others say.
——.
The border army was in chaos.
After losing the powerful characters to fight the formation, the internal fighting between different factions has seriously affected the combat effectiveness of this glorious army.
After Li Yuan agreed to withdraw his troops, he immediately began to withdraw his troops from Xingyang. Fortunately, he only led 300 personal soldiers into the city before. This time, the most troublesome thing about leaving was not the mobilization of the army, but the county soldiers attached to Li Yuan in the city and the civilians followed him.
The families of important officials such as Guan Yue were not in Xingyang. According to the Qin State's official system, they were detained as part of the hostages in various parts of Guanzhong such as Xianyang, Gaoling, Liyi, etc. In Xingyang, Li You was actually the only one who had family members to accompany him, because he married a princess' wife.
The county soldiers are mainly for persuasion work. Most of the county soldiers in Xingyang were recruited from the local area. The Sanchuan County area has been occupied for more than 70 years since the Qin Dynasty conquered the six countries. These soldiers have a much greater sense of belonging to the Qin State than the people in other newly occupied places, especially the Dongjun, Jiangdong County, Chen County and other places.
Stimulated by a series of victories and with continuous rewards, Li Yuan believed that most of these county soldiers would choose to follow him in the end. After all, following a lord who can win battles is also a blessing in this chaotic era. Compared with Yang Xiong, Zhao Ben and others, Li Yuan is undoubtedly the most suitable target to serve. As for joining the border army, these county soldiers probably dare not think about it. The border soldiers are in their own line and have always looked down on the county soldiers. No county soldiers are unhappy and want to join Su Jiao to find abuse.
The county soldiers were still easy to do, but the difficulty was the people and civilians who followed him. Although Li Yuan had no choice but to be completely unjust since he moved from Daliang, his strict military discipline allowed his team to be supported by many civilians. Compared with those princes who only knew how to massacre and kill, Li Yuan, who was influenced by later humanistic thoughts, could almost be regarded as a saint.
The three major disciplines and eight points of attention are the motto of the People's Army. Li Yuan, a seven-year veteran, had to recite and write them down, of course, it was easy to grasp. Although it was a bit too advanced to put these military disciplines on the Qin army, even if one or two points were slightly abided by one or two, Li Yuan's image could greatly improve.
In this chaotic world where life is like grass and shepherds, where is home? As long as it is a place that can be protected, it is the best place to settle down. More than a thousand people who followed from Daliang to Xingyang continued their firm choice this time. Under the leadership of Hu Zhuang and He Ping, Zhang Fu and Han Si led a group of people to embark on a journey of unknown destinations again.
In Xingyang City, Zhang Fu and others had a good impression of Li Yuanjun. The bloody battles of several days made the story of the deep love between the military and the civilians sang among the people, and there were also some civilians who had just begun in the war in Guandong. After a dispute, they packed up their luggage and followed Li Yuanjun.
A few years later, these followers would be glad when they recalled their original decisions. If they were still in Xingyang, when the siege of the city occurred again, the tragedy of Yizi robbery would happen to them.
Compared with the people, Li You Mansion's servants were also quietly packing up their things and preparing to leave this mansion where they had lived for many years, leaving this place soaked in memories and full of sorrow.
Ying Yushu decided to leave.
There is nothing she nostalgic about here. Li You's body was transported back to Shangcai Anzang a few days ago. His wish was done. As the eldest princess of Qin, her home is in Xianyang, her relatives are in Xianyang, and her enemies are also in Xianyang.
Cars are everywhere, horses are Xiaoxiao.
A neatly decorated army with bright armor and bright armor, a team of children and girls, and a relocation team with luggage. Several vehicles were covered tightly, making it impossible to see whose car was inside. At the end of this first month, they marched from east to west on the straight road from Xingyang to Luoyang.
