Lord of the House

From the prison island to the sky and north, take the post road in the east of Tangyi County, all the way north, to Shanyang County, about 400 miles.

Regardless of Shen Rong's opposition, Lin Fu personally led 2,000 cavalry troops from the east of Tangyi County, entered Weiyang House, and then went north along the east bank of the Baisha River, crossing Baisha County, Gaoyou County, Jinan County, etc. Lake County, and arrived in Shanyang County, Huaian Prefecture, four days later.

In mid-June, it is the hot weather. If you beat an egg on a stone under the heart of the sun, it will be cooked zizily. Walking four hundred miles in four days, such a high-intensity march is a test for both people and horses.

In order to reduce the consumption of military horses, when marching, everyone leads the horse, and it is strictly forbidden to ride. When camping, it was extraordinarily difficult to take care of the horses. Not only the generals of the cavalry camp represented by Zhou Pu must lead by example, walking on foot, even Lin Bie and the squires, also wear heavy armor and lead their horses away.

Along the way, the only people who can ride horses are the scouts accompanying the army.

This world has never suffered from poverty and inequality. Generals can lead by example. For ordinary generals, no matter how difficult things are, they are not difficult. Bento was a march to hone, all the way to Shanyang, the people were tired and the horses were tired, but the morale was cheered up, and there were no complaints in the army.

The Jinhai and the two Jiyun-class warships escorted the female relatives back to Chongzhou first. More than 140 officers and cadets, including Zhang Gou, Zhang Jiheng, and Han Caizhi, also participated in this high-intensity battle. march.

The members of the study team worked harder. In addition to participating in the march, camping and caring for the horses, they also took the surveying of the terrain along the way as a normal training subject. The members of the cadet team were all military attachés, and quite a few of them were exiled generals from the refugee army.

After arriving in Shanyang County, the riding camp rested on the spot. The trainee team had to cross Huaibei to Siyang to survey the terrain of Shanyang Bay from Shanyangkou to Shuyangkou. Shanyang Bay is the most important section of terrain after the Huai River leaves Hongzepu. A variety of tactical deductions are the main training subjects in the middle of the training camp of the learning team.

The activities of the student team are relatively independent, and they stay in Huaisi for more than half a month. Later, I went to the vicinity of Yuntiyun to survey the terrain, and even went to the sea. In the turbulent wind and waves, approaching the sea to Jiaozhou Bay, the boundless rotten yellow water, the stormy waves crashing against the shore, and the fleet that covered the sky and closed the sun, all made Zhang Gou know how vast the world is outside.

It was not until the first ten days of July that Zhang Gou returned to Shuyang with the student team.

Looking at the mighty Huai River in Shanyang Bay, Zhang Gou, who was standing on the embankment on the north bank of the Huaihe River, was agitated: just over a year ago, the Huangjue Rebel Army swept Huaibei, and he led his troops to attack the Yunti Pass with the pole man, and also passed by here. . At that time, Huai Shui was just a turbid and mighty water flow, and he claimed to be resourceful, with strong troops and strong horses under his command, and the ambition to sweep the world. Now that I think about it, how ridiculous I was at that time, how sitting in a well and watching the sky!

"Ta-ta-ta", when Zhang Gou heard the sound of hooves, Zhang Gou looked back, and Chen Zui came with a horse.

"I heard that the cavalry crossed Huai into Siyang, did you know that?" Chen Zhu came over and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Gou nodded and sat down on the mud embankment.

"Could it be to attack the eldest lady?" Chen Zhi asked.

Zhang Gou shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe not!" Although he guessed like this, he didn't have any confidence in his heart.

The trainee team has been concentrated in the Shuyang area during this period of time, and they have no idea of ​​the military situation in Huai'an. Zhang Gou only learned about the ride camp crossing Huai's yesterday.

They are no longer the generals of the refugee army who sat in the well and watched the sky a year ago. They know how far the so-called elite soldiers in the refugee army are from the real elites in a hundred battles.

During the battle of Yanling, Chen Zhihu's clan had more than 10,000 elites, but they killed more than 20,000 people of Hu Lao's four clan who were planning to jump out of the encirclement from Yanling.

Chen Zhihu's team, they have no contact, so they can't appreciate the strength of Chen Zhihu's hundred battles.

But the Huaidong Army, what they have seen, contacted, and learned over the past year, has exposed them to the core of the true essence of the Huaidong Army, and naturally they know the elite of the Huaidong Army.

The 2,000 cavalry soldiers who went north with Lin Fu this time included 400 heavy armored cavalry, and the rest were lightly armored cavalry. The generals can lead their horses to travel hundreds of miles a day in the scorching summer heat. As long as these two thousand horses enter the west bank of the Bian River and interspersed with them, I am afraid that except for a few cities, there will be no place for the rebels to settle in the wild.

In Siyang, in addition to the 2,000 elites from the Huaidong Cavalry Battalion, there are nearly 5,000 elite foot soldiers from the Fengli Infantry Battalion, and more than 2,000 water troops from the Jinghai Third Water Battalion are stationed in Siyang.

If Lin Fu transferred the main force from Siyang, crossed the Bian River in the west, and attacked the red jacket girl with Chen Zhihu, the red jacket girl would either flee to the west in panic, or be trapped in Huaiyang City, it is hard to imagine what chance she would have to win in the field.

We must also consider that the three Sun Han troops in Xuzhou and the Changhuai Army stationed in Haosi are far more elite officers and soldiers than the Rebels.

Zhang Gou frowned, puzzled in his heart.

Chen Zhuo bit his lip and said, "You say no, but you know in your heart that the cavalry is going to cross the Bian River, right?"

"I don't know, maybe it will, maybe not," Zhang Gou said, struggling in his heart. "Even if the cavalry wants to cross the Bian River, the controller will not ignore the attitude of the master. The cavalry crossing the Huai River may only be a warning pole. Lord, don't act rashly! Even if you really want to attack the eldest lady, what can you and I do?"

Chen Zhe sat on the ground with a look of frustration. I don't know when, he was attracted to Huaidong, just like when he vowed never to betray the kindness of Pole Lord and An Shuai, even if he didn't consider his family living in Chongzhou at this time, he wanted him to escape and go to Pole Lord. also find it difficult.

Chen Zui also wanted to follow Zhang Gou's example to learn water warfare. The big deal was to avoid the master and the eldest lady in the future, or help each other. Chen Zhu had such an idea in his heart, but knowing that the main force of the Huaidong Cavalry Battalion crossed Huaibei and would likely join forces with Chen Zhihu to attack the eldest lady, he was still irritable and uneasy.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves like a torrential rain came from a distance, Zhang Gou stood up and saw a group of cavalry galloping along the causeway.

Zhang Gou and Chen Zuo led their horses down the embankment to make way, and when the cavalry team approached, they saw Lin Bie wearing green armor and riding the horse. They were also accompanied by Cao Zi'ang of the Zuo Army of the Marching Army and Ning Zechen, the commander of the Zuo Army of the Infantry Army.

Zhang Gou was a little worried in his heart. He and Chen Zhui had a private meeting here, afraid of what Lin Fu, Cao Zi'ang and others would think when they saw it.

Seeing Zhang Gou and Chen Zui here, Lin Fu reined in the reins and said, "The sunset is about to go down, and the scenery of Shanyang Bay is just right at this time! You guys are so leisurely!" Then he said to Cao Zi'ang, "Zi'ang, you and Zechen will go to Shuyang Village first, and I will also stay to see the sunset in Shanyang Bay.”

Cao Zi'ang and Ning Zechen went to Siyang Village first.

Lin Fu handed the horse over to the retinue and took him to the side. He sat down on the mud embankment, waved Zhang Gou and Chen Zhui not to be too polite, pointed to the mud embankment beside him, asked them to sit down, and asked, "Are you two? Aren't you worried that the Huaidong Army will cross the Bian River to fight Liu Miaozhen? Did it make it difficult for you?"

Chen Zhuo had a straight temper, and when he spoke to the center of his thoughts, he showed it in a daze, his face darkened and silent.

Zhang Gou said: "The last general and Chen Zui discussed the situation in Huaiyang, but they did not make it difficult. After attaching to Huaidong, my body and mind were cleansed. I only felt that the past was sinful. With gratitude, I have long since made a clean break with the past."

"After you arrived in Huaidong, you have read a lot of books, and your speech is very elegant. Chen Zhu is not as good as you. Does he recognize all 100 characters including his name?" Lin Fu knew Zhang Gou's mouth wasn't right, but he didn't break it, and asked about Chen Zhuan's attendance at the literacy class.

Chen Zhu scratched his head, and said in a loud voice, "They know me!"

Lin Fu smiled, turned around and asked directly, "What do you think of the Yan Ran battle?"

Chen Zhu's relaxed face stiffened again, Zhang Gou was also caught off guard by the question, and he didn't know how to answer to satisfy Lin Bie.

"If the Henan prefectures, the Central Plains, and the world can be ruled from chaos, the people will live and work in peace and contentment. If 30,000 to 50,000 people are killed, I will never be soft-hearted," Lin Fu Surong said, "If I kill so many People, the peasants still have no way to survive. They still have to carry hoes and stick with wooden sticks to rebel. What is the benefit of killing more people? Huaidong will not participate in the war in Huaiyang, and I don’t want to make it difficult for you. Yes. It's not easy to survive in the Huaisi area. I'm going to ride a camp to cross Huai, hoping that Sun Ganzi will live in peace and don't cause me any trouble."

"..." Zhang Gou had something to say in his throat, but he couldn't spit it out.

"Some people rebelled for the sake of 'willing to have something to do with Xiangning' and want to make a fortune. Some people rebelled because they were fighting for a way to survive. If they didn't rebel, they would die. It's better to rebel and find a way to survive. I can't help myself. There are some people who put the world's righteousness on their shoulders, and want to fight for a world that doesn't eat people," Lin Fu asked, "Why did you two rebel in the first place?"

"..." Zhang Gou saw Lin Bie's eyes staring at him and Chen Zhe, as if he could read people's hearts, and every word of Lin Bie was like a sledgehammer, hitting his heart.

Chen Zhe Weng said: "I have a lot of strength, one person can do the work of three or four people, and I have to be hungry for three days or two when I am young. This thief is still in heaven? In the early years, I was recruited to be a fortress. Ding, I got six heads at one time, but when I reported my merits in the fort, it was changed to someone else's head; when the bandits came again, I took the head of the fortress to the bandits, and I immediately became the flag head, and I was determined to do it. Bandit! Later, I followed An Shuai."

Zhang Gou stood up from the mud embankment, took a step back, knelt down, and said, "The last general was lonely when he was young, living on the edge of the land, being incorporated into the military household, often bullied by the generals in the fort, and hating this world in his heart. Bullying the weak and not giving the poor a way to survive. In the early years, the fish class and boat tax in Puzili increased again and again, and several new names were found every year. I want to find a way for everyone to survive, and teach those officials who are full of fish and meat a lesson. It’s just that this road is difficult, and I hit a wall everywhere~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The head is bloody, and there is no way out. The people around me After dying one after another, it becomes numb, and there is a kind of irritability in my heart that thinks of being stained with blood... and I forget why I rebelled in the first place!"

"I often say to the generals and officials in Huaidong: What you eat, wear, and pay is all cultivated by the people, woven and stitched by the people, and donated by the people, so you can only be loyal with your blood. I told them again: If you can’t do this, and even treat the people as livestock to bully and oppress them, don’t blame the people for gathering to take their food from your mouths and rob them of their clothes. Take back the salaries they donated, and even cut off your heads and rebel against you!" Lin Fu said slowly, "You two, one of you hates injustice, the other hates exploitation, and hates that the world doesn't give The poor leave a way to survive. Huaidong has no ambitions and just wants to make a living for the people of the world as much as possible. You have been in Huaidong for a year, what you have seen and heard, why have I ever lied to you? Could it be that there is no room for the two of you in Huaidong?"

Zhang Gou’s heart felt as if he was being beaten heavily, and he kowtowed and said, “Since entering Huaidong, there is absolutely no second heart. Zhang Gou is an adult dog and horse, forever!”

Only at this moment did Chen Zhu kneel and kowtow, and said, "I don't want to leave Huaidong either, as long as I don't let me hit the eldest lady and the pole man!"

"Okay," Lin Fie patted his butt, stood up, and said, "Zhang Gou, I know you are trying to learn water warfare, I will transfer you to the Jinghai Second Water Battalion as commander to join the army. Naval warfare is complicated, you have to learn more. Ask and read more. Chen Zui, I will send you to Chongzhou Infantry Camp to be a deputy battalion first. In the fall, we will fight Daishan Mountain. There is not much time left for you to get acquainted with your subordinates... You must remember what you said today, I only want you Don't take what you said today!" My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
