Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 585

[Chapter 210 Heavy Rain Logistic Battalion]

Old Man Lu and the others said that the soldiers would come in two days, but after only two and a half days, they chose the most difficult way to go in Yizhou. General Guo Tu waited by the river and let Zhang Zhong go out.

Zhang Zhong was still studying with Fang Sima how to make the local people live a good life, and he was notified to receive the imperial edict, and the person who announced the edict was Old Man Yao.

There are no shelves and no incense table.

He handed the imperial decree to Zhang Zhong and said, “Yongcheng, this is the will of the imperial court, take a look, go out and meet General Guo, then come back and continue to work on local affairs, if you need to call Chang Pingcang, You can go to Yizhou Prefecture to pick it up, take the memo and write it as a memorial and send it to the capital.”

The meaning of the words is very clear.

That is Zhang Zhong, you are still in Yizhou as your prefect.

You don’t care about logistics, it’s easy to go wrong, don’t you want to solve the life of the local people?

If you don’t have anything to pick up in Yizhou, you can figure it out for yourself, just tell me.

Hearing the old man Yao’s words, the doubtful Zhang Zhong opened the imperial decree, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. Didn’t he transfer himself here because he said that Yizhou was not easy to govern?

Why is there going to be a war in the blink of an eye?

logistics?

Grain officer?

No preparation at all, where did the food come from?

Zhang Zhong’s expression caught the eyes of the old man and others, and they were very satisfied, indicating that the two masters of Zhang family did not tell Zhang Zhong, not even Xiaobao and Juanjuan. So, ok.

How do they know that Zhang Xiaobao doesn’t want to worry his family if he doesn’t tell them, and it’s useless to tell them. It still falls on him and Wang Juan, so why bother.

After being excited for a while, Zhang Zhong rolled up the imperial decree, and the person calmed down, nodded and said, “Zhang Zhong accepted the decree, and then went to see General Guo

and talked, Zhang Zhong turned around and went back to change his clothes, in fact, he was asking his son and daughter-in-law to ask questions. , what’s the matter? Fighting is not a child’s play. If something happens, you can’t afford it.

Zhang Zhong’s reaction made the three old men more convinced that the two masters of the Zhang family are the backbone of Zhang Zhong. Otherwise, how can they be so calm When

Zhang

Zhong found his son and daughter-in-law, the two wrote a plan. Wang Juan wrote about the grain deposit, and Zhang Xiaobao wrote about the local governance.

“Little Treasure, do you know this imperial edict? Zhang Zhong’s anger in his heart was not long when he entered the door. He asked Zhang Bao with a sullen face when there were two people left.

“I know, Grandpa Bi won’t let me say it, and it’s useless to say it. Can’t think of it, can’t you come?

father.

Don’t worry about this matter, it’s all arranged, baby, here is a book on economic construction.

Look, the baby and cuckoo won’t be able to stay with their family for a period of time, they have to follow them to the front. Dad, you can just do as you do, don’t be afraid of accidents.

The

moment Zhang Xiaobao saw the imperial decree, he knew that it was time to go out.

He and Wang Juan had to follow him, otherwise there would be no communication conditions. The situation on the battlefield was unpredictable, and things could easily happen, so he gave his father the plan in his hand. He

handed it over.

With a snap, Zhang Zhong angrily slapped the plan on the ground, pointed at Zhang Xiaobao and said, “You, you, you didn’t even discuss such a big matter with us, you, you are going to make me mad. Can’t do it?

When it comes to war, you can just spend some money?

As easy as governing a place?

You asked me to “you,”

Zhang Zhong said, and suddenly sighed, he realized it himself, the result is the same whether his son or daughter-in-law said it or not, the emperor asked you to come here to do things, don’t do it What?

Even if the two families knew in advance, what could they do?

In the end, it fell on the son and daughter-in-law.

As a result, Ji Geke, who was picked up by his son, said, “My son, I’ll just stay and command in Yizhou, can’t I not go? Swords and guns have no eyes.”

Zhang Bao shook his head, “Dad, how can you command if you don’t go? This time, there are only 10,000 troops. Five thousand people were divided into fifteen reinforcement battalions. Five battalions were dispatched from Jiannan Road. The remaining ten battalions came from Shannan West Road. There were too few people. It must be an assault. If you are a member of the Tang Dynasty,

you have to take the responsibility.

Not to mention that the emperor ordered the dead to die, even if he was a member of the Tang Dynasty, he had to fight. The people who died in Wangjiang are still waiting. The problem is that if you are bullied and don’t fight back, they will bully you next time.

Besides, Ba’er and Cuckoo are only responsible for logistics, and they will not go out of the country if they don’t fight with people in front of them. Who would aim for two, child?”

When Zhang Xiaobao said this, he was very grateful to this era, not to mention martial artists, even literati also practiced martial arts. Living in this era is much more comfortable. There is no such thing as being bullied and not afraid to fight back. You kill me alone, I will slaughter your village.

Otherwise, Korea and Japan can be called ministers?

Zhang Zhong was also excited by his son’s words. He usually danced the sword and practiced the bow. He felt relieved when he thought that his son and daughter-in-law would not rush to the front.

“My son, if that’s the case, let’s go. Remember to be careful and be careful. Bring the people from Team 0. Dad will also hurry up and practice with the other members of the seedling protection team. You can make do with no one, remember. Bring more inner courtyards and wait for you to return to avenge the people of Wangjiang.”

Zhang Zhong suppressed the reluctance in his heart and patted his son on the shoulder.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaobao suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement, as if he had lost the time to rely on a person to find his way, he was not afraid.

More is full of confidence and expectations for the future.

Zhang Zhong changed his clothes and took his son and daughter-in-law to the river to meet Guo Tu. There were no more than fifty-six people in the team. There were also thirty people from the inner courtyard of the seedling protection team, as well as the leftovers borrowed from Li Xun

.

The two hundred guards, plus other idlers, took more than an hour to meet the general Guo Tu.

Zhang Zhong was nominally in charge of this incident. Naturally, he went to talk to Guo Tu, while Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were there. Accompanying him.

Guo Tu looked to be in his forties, with a long beard, from cheek to ear, and he couldn’t get close to the Confucian generals imagined by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and he spoke straight and straight, without any respect for Zhang Zhong, it sounded just like It seemed that he kept asking Zhang Zhong if he had food and grass ready.

Zhang Zhong didn’t get angry with the other party, he replied roughly, and the meeting was over, Guo Tu arrogantly and awe-inspiringly hurried away with the team The

team started to go back and forth again, but Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took a group of people to stay, looked at the team that left, greeted them, and followed behind.

“I just don’t understand, the people from Jiannan Road didn’t send them. Why not send people from Shannan West Road over here.

Don’t look next to each other, you may not be familiar with the climate.

”

Zhang Xiaobao rode on top of the mule and went to the day before. The old Shanxun book posted a ridicule of Qi Yu

, “Money burns too much, let’s train troops, the frontier troops here will naturally be easy to dispatch, but the troops elsewhere will not be able to do it without training, I guess Li Longji This is an idea, ready to play a big game. Speaking of it, it is also our responsibility. Who told us to manage the local area so well, especially that many technologies related to people’s livelihood have been sent out.

If there is no such technology, Li Longji He is still worried about the life of the common people, but now he is relaxed, any person in power will have the idea of expansion when he knows that the economy can develop.”

Wang Juan also rode a mule, holding an immature child in his hand. Clear apple biting.

Bitter and astringent, she still eats deliciously, so she will answer Zhang Xiaobao’s questions by the way.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, “Almost, no matter what he thinks, we will live our lives. Thanks to my preparations in advance, there are quite a few horses, and that shape is suitable for horse racing? I don’t know what to think, from here to Jinchuan City in Jinshui. , it is estimated to be 150 or 60 kilometers?

Passing through Pengzhou, I see how they can get there in ten days. From the picture, there is a small mountain there, which is the most difficult snow-capped mountain in Cong at the time. Is it?” “It’s good to arrive at Jinchuan, there is a big river there, and there is a plain that rushes out, which is suitable for cavalry to attack. If it is me, I will let the infantry go ahead lightly. The cavalry at the back is responsible for consigning the armor, and the task of the infantry is to see If you go to a village and slaughter a village, even if you don’t kill people, you will have to lock up the people.

Once the cavalry team bypasses the mountain and catches up with the infantry in front, the cavalry will split up, and some will go north. If you cross the weak river east, harassment may occur. Some of the reinforcements from the northwest of the 19th century went down, regardless of the surrounding villages, forcibly penetrated, went straight to Danba City, and feinted to attack.

The infantry also divided a part to follow behind the feinted Danba cavalry, creating momentum, one person for one stove. The flag of the team is the flag of the team, driving the people to the city of Jin.

The rest of the infantry were divided into a battalion from north to south to widen the line of troops.

The main infantry moved slightly to the north, reaching the banks of the weak water.

Oblique to Jinchuan City.

The front cavalry marched around the city, blocked the enemy from the west, led the people into the city, surrounded but not attacked, consumed Jinchuan food and grass, waited for the enemy to deploy troops from all directions to encircle and suppress the two northwesters to contain the light cavalry and head south, with the sword pointing at Jin “to Jin” to cross the river to retreat, The due west cavalry took a detour and crossed with its return.

Pretending to attack Danba, the cavalry infantry crossed the river and fled westward, trying to lead Danba to send troops to form an encirclement with the sergeant of Jinchuan City and the enemy of the source.

At that time, a battalion of expelling the common people quickly assembled and retreated to the border, and merged into a cavalry unit, together with the camping troops, and flew down the weak water by boat.

If they attack Danba by storm, they should withdraw from Chengdu after they are defeated. The diversionary troops placed in Danba will either successfully merge with the troops attacking Danba, or

Wang Juan himself cannot go to the front line to command, so he can only talk on paper. , talking and talking, and then he didn’t make a sound.

That means, another part of the team gave up.

Zhang Xiaobao didn’t know this kind of military affairs.

Listening to Wang Juan’s words, he sighed and said, “It really depends on Jun Mo’s words to seal the marquis’ success. I don’t understand the matter of war, but if you say it like that. Why don’t you give it to the cavalry who pretended to attack Danba earlier? Equipped with double cavalry or three cavalry.

When the infantry specially designed to attract people meet, the horses are distributed to the infantry, and the attraction is over. The people who have finished fighting Danba leave a small part of the boat and wait for the road to the south. The people on the horses make a circle to cross the river south, and maybe they can come back a few more.”

“Let’s not talk about this, it is not me who leads the troops. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can grasp it so well, especially when it is not clear. In the case of the information of the enemy generals, if Danba has a general who does not move when he sees the opportunity, and hides in the city, then all the layout is over.

Or the general of Jinchuan is a heartless person and sees the enemy coming. In an attack, when it is clear that the enemy’s strength is unknown, leading troops to cross the river to attack the shipbuilding infantry camp will also disrupt the plan.”

After Wang Juan finished his battle plan, he felt comfortable in his heart. I swayed and walked slowly with the team forward. I couldn’t go as fast as I wanted to.

The next day, at noon, the sky turned gloomy. The local people who were familiar with the weather knew that it was going to rain. If it didn’t hit, it would probably stop at night, which would cool the humid and hot weather for a few days.

Guo Tu, who was riding on a horse, looked up at the sky.

However, his face also became gloomy. If it really rains, let alone ten days to reach the Jinan area. Don’t even think about Pengzhou, you have to travel hard on Jiannan Road. Tubo showed up a day in advance.

“General, it’s better to let the infantry go ahead lightly.

Go to the place to watch the local village, then burn the fields and let the Tibetans mess up for a while.

Joining the

army was also worried. He rode to the side and suggested.

Guo Tu’s head shook slightly. “No, the infantry goes over. If the cavalry helps with the consignment, it will be even slower. Maybe it’s time for gold.” The troops are well arranged, just wait for us to attack, then the advantages of the cavalry will be used.

Moreover, this time it is said to be a sneak attack, but the general did not intend to actually attack, 15,000 people, even if they can’t beat Jinchuan, they will not be able to defeat them. Can I make Tubo dare not make a big move, and then collect the food in the occupied area and see how

the

Tubo will deal with it?

The food and grass will not be delivered within the day. This general will definitely not spare Zhang Zhong and give orders to the entire army. Speed up and catch up with the road before it rains. It is best to get out of the rainy place.”

“Your order.” Joining the army also Knowing that letting the infantry rush forward is easy for the Tibetans to show up in advance, if he really listens to his own words, he can’t afford it if something happens, so he has to obey orders.

“Xiaobao, it’s going to rain. It’s really bad for you to get a job. I hope our arrangement will work, but I’m just wondering, how did you know it would rain.”

Wang Juan, who also saw the weather changes, did not sit on his mule. Then he ran to Zhang Bao’s mule and sat in front of Zhang Xiaobao.

In this way, when it rains, you don’t have to worry about getting wet in front and behind. With a big umbrella, two people can rely on each other to keep warm.

Zhang Xiaobao hugged Wang Juan, took a few breaths, and said after feeling a little more comfortable: “I didn’t know it was raining today, I just know that it rains often here in Sichuan, and there are only many here. Stop. The cold air at the altitude and the effect of the mountains can easily form rainfall. It’s

okay to rain. Let Guo Tu know what logistics is. This time we paid a lot of money. It is estimated that Li Longji may not be able to pay it back. Give it to us. If you can’t make it right, just give a policy, just think, what policy do you want at that time? “Policy is better than giving money directly!

※

“I guess it’s the same, the imperial court simply can’t pay so much money, what policy do you want? A tax reduction or exemption? Not good, the tax should be paid as soon as it should be paid, and the country will pay less money if it is not paid. It is best to use it in the tea-horse trade. , I remember a man who was three years older than me in the yard of my family.

He

made a lot of money by asking for customs clearance from his father.

I made 50 to 50 percent of the money, and others advised me at that time. The housekeeper needs to build the road first bag or: Bao, but I don’t like making money, or should we also have a road building policy?”

Wang Juan knows best People who benefit from the policy will have a lot of money with the policy.

How could Zhang Xiaobao agree to such a policy, saying: “No, absolutely no, I don’t want it even if it is given to me for nothing, and we have to pay for the road repairs. Who will earn it? There is no toll to collect. Best It is the purpose of free trade at the border, both in the sea and on land. The

rain finally fell from Tianqi, and Guo Tu’s team failed to get out of this rainy area, let alone people and horses. On a good road, even if the sports car is driving on the high road, don’t try to hide. The precipitation range is too large.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan should wear scorpion coats, and those who should use umbrellas should use umbrellas, even the mules are covered. Layers of tarpaulin, facing the wind and continuing to move forward, the speed is even faster than the army in front.

Of course, the combat capability of the team led by two people is far higher than the army in front. Don’t see three hundred people, There is no problem in packing up the 1,800 troops in front.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry, find a place to shelter from the rain.

“Guo Tu’s beard on his face was all wet from the rain, and the armor on his body was also see through, so he wiped his face with his hands and shouted.

There is no need for him to say more. Fifteen thousand is also working hard on the road, hoping to find a comfortable place to rest, at least to pitch the tent.

Even tents can’t be set up in such a narrow place now.

There is a mountain next to it, and the water keeps rushing down.

After half an hour, the rain-soaked road was even harder to walk.

Just when Guo Tu didn’t know where to put his anger, a flat place finally appeared in front of him, where a shed had been set up, a fire was ignited in the shed, and when the wind blew, he could still smell the aroma of the food.

Guo Ran picked up the binoculars to watch, and said to Xiaoling next to him, “Let’s go and see what’s going on?”

Xiaoling responded and hurried forward.

Before he got to the place, someone greeted him there and stood in the middle of the road, also holding a telescope and looking over here.

“Yeah? Clairvoyance? What’s in front of you? Why is there a clairvoyance? Who leaked it out?” Guo Tu glanced at the person in front of him through the rain screen, and it wasn’t uncomfortable now.

But anger, can anyone have clairvoyance?

There are signs in the army, and whoever has it will enter the booklet.

If anyone can have one.

Can any other country?

This thing is a deadly baby.

Perhaps the person standing in the middle of the road also took into account the issue of identity and took out a flag from his arms.

Put away the binoculars and pull the flag open with both hands so that everyone in the line can see it.

The person at the front of the line had already stopped at this moment and looked at this person with alarm.

Guo Tu looked at the man’s flag diligently.

He raised his brows and asked, “Who knows what kind of flag it is? The person who painted it is neither ghost nor ghost, it looks blurry. It looks like a rice seedling?

” The matter. He leaned forward and said, “General, are you sure it’s a rice seedling?

Isn’t it a very playful rice seedling with big eyes and thin arms?

”

“Well!

“Guo Tu nodded in response.

Joining the army was relieved and said: “General.

That was the banner of the Zhang family, and it was the special banner of the family of Zhang Zhong, the governor of Zhang Zhong, who was in charge of the logistics, and it was Shui Yunjian.

”

“So that’s the case, but what are the people in his family doing here?” Guo Tu knew who it was as soon as he heard Shui Yunjian.

More doubts in my heart.

Xiao Ling just now came to the vicinity of the person in front of him, and after some exchange, he ran back happily.

“General grass, general, good thing, great thing, this is the resting place prepared by the people of Yizhou logistics camp in front, they set up a shelter from the rain. They also cooked meat porridge, let me wait for a rest, he Said there was still medicine, I was afraid of getting sick.”

Xiao Ling reported to Guo Tu excitedly.

Guo Tu was immediately stunned, and the soldier next to him called out again before he recovered, and said in disbelief: “What? From the logistics battalion? I’ll go and take

a look.” Not only Guo Tu was surprised, other generals, including soldiers, were unbelievable at what they saw. It was the first time I heard that the person in charge of escorting food and forage was still in charge of this kind of thing.

When the team in front of the army entered the shed to take shelter from the rain, Guo Tu also found the person in charge.

“General Guo, please, there are tea and snacks here. General Guo has worked hard all the way.” The person in charge here respectfully said to Guo Tu.

No matter how Guo Tu heard it, he felt that this was cursing.

If you work hard, what are the people here?

When did the battalion in charge of logistics become so crazy?

Yes, it is usually said that the troops and horses are not moved, and the food and grass go first, but it can be said that I have never seen it before, and today is a good experience.

The person in charge of logistics ran to the front of the army, and finished the shed and porridge. If the logistics personnel have this kind of ability, who is the main force?

Thinking of this, Guo Tu had to ask. If he didn’t ask, he always felt a lot of things in his heart. At this time, he regretted his attitude towards Zhang Zhong when he was in Yizhou.

Just look at the shed and it’s clear that it can be attacked.

The retreat can be defended, and it turned out to be set up in the form of a marching formation.

This is in the Tang Dynasty, and he has not sent out scouts. The fact that others can set up such a formation shows that they are used to it, and it is not deliberate at all. Could it be that the Zhang family was born in the military for generations?

“How did you prepare?” Guo Tu asked.

“If you go back to the general, come here ahead of time. The master ordered that it is rainy in the early autumn. In order not to delay the army’s itinerary, it will be arranged in advance. If it rains, it will go out, and if there is no rain, it will be hidden. I will ensure that the army will be unobstructed and live up to the name of the logistics battalion. Hastily built, many are rudimentary, and I ask the general to bear with me.” The

person in charge here said embarrassedly.

As if he really wasn’t good enough.
