I’m The King

Chapter 225: : Forward and retreat

When everything came to a halt, the soldiers scattered to other houses in the village to rest. When they entered the first house in the village, only He Lanxiong and a few centurions were left. Everyone sat around the ring of fire, and He Lanrui took the bacon on the roof. Take it down and set it on the fire for barbecue. There is ready-made salt in the house. Spread it on the washed meat. When the fire is roasted, the aroma suddenly spreads. These people who have not eaten hot food for two days suddenly all He swallowed his saliva.

The troops found a place to shelter, obtained enough supplies, and seized a lot of spoils. It was originally a happy thing, but the five **** heads just made the joy a lot. Everyone. He stretched out his hand silently and set it on the fire, no one wanted to speak first.

"What's the matter? Don't say anything, I just decided, do you have opinions in your heart?"

He Lanxiong threw a stick of dry wood in the fire and asked faintly.

"No, no, no objection, these five people dared to hide the spoils, it is a capital crime in itself!" A centurion next to He Lanxiong hurriedly said.

"These guys killed them as soon as they were killed. Originally, I couldn't understand these guys, but the young master, didn't you just slept with a few women? Why are you so popular?" Another centurion somewhat Puzzled.

"A few of you can think so too?" He Lanxiong smiled, looked around at the crowd, and asked.

Several people by the fire bowed their heads, obviously acquiescing to He Lanxiong's questioning.

He Lanxiong threw a stick of firewood into the fire again, thought about it, and said: "Gao Yuan once told me a paragraph, which touched me a lot. He said that the army is a devil and must be given to his neck. Put on the shackles, and the superiors need to firmly hold the other end of the chain, so as to ensure that the devil will not have accidents. Do you know what the shackles on the devil’s neck are?"

Several people shook their heads at the same time.

"Loyalty and discipline!" He Lanxiong said solemnly. "I have no doubts about your loyalty, but what your discipline is, I still don't know. Since we have established military discipline, we must strictly follow it. It depends on your current situation. Appearance, obviously did not realize the importance of military discipline."

"Why do I require all the seizures to be returned to the public? First, I need to pay you a lot of money, which is very rare among my Huns. Second, these seizures must be for those who stay in the old camp. We didn’t prepare a copy for the soldiers who went with us, otherwise, who would be willing to stay at home and guard our wives and families in the future? Those brothers who are on guard and watch have no chance to get the spoils. Could it be that their credit is better than you? Is it small? First of all, I want to embody a fair way. Second, if anyone robs more, whoever gets more, then everyone is on the battlefield, I'm afraid they are all busy looting, who will strictly abide by it. Military order? You can't fight when it's time to fight, and you can't go when it's time to go. The military order is like a child's play, then our failure is not far away."

"Why do these people have to kill? In the military discipline, since " " women should be cut, they must be enforced. The military discipline is strict and it is impossible to open a hole. If you open a hole today, it will become a collapse in the future. In addition, these few people complained when they encountered difficulties, disrupted our military's mind, and when they encountered benefits, they rushed forward, and even the military orders were thrown behind their heads. If you don't kill them in order to behave like you, can it wait until the crowds rise. Do you emulate?"

Everyone listened intently.

He Lanxiong looked at He Lanrui: "Arui, you have seen a cavalry in the distance, what do you think?"

He Lanrui smiled and said: "The lofty cavalry was trained by the young lady. Cavalry should be considered good in the Central Plains, but it is definitely not as good as ours."

The centurions all laughed, with disdain in their eyes.

He Lanxiong sighed: "I know that you are like this, high-end cavalry, riding skills, immediate fighting and riding shooting. Indeed, every item is not as good as us. One to one, ten to ten, we will win, but If it is a hundred to a hundred, they will be able to draw a tie with us. If it is a thousand, a thousand to a thousand, we will definitely lose."

"How is this possible?" a centurion said unconvinced, "is there such a big difference between one hundred and one thousand?"

"The difference is big!" He Lan Xiong said: "The lofty army is the most rigorous army I have ever seen. The order and prohibition are breathtaking. With the order, the sword and the sea in front dared to move forward, and ordered to retreat. It is the gold everywhere and never look at it. They have used the cavalry team to the extreme, and greatly compensated for their technical weaknesses. The more the number, the more they have an advantage. A Rui, you followed the Yanzi with them at the beginning. I've fought a few battles, you should feel deeply, right?"

"When the young master mentioned this, I remembered it, but it was not their cavalry, but their infantry. At the beginning, Gao Yuan formed a spear formation with infantry, and resisted the impact of the East Hu cavalry frontally, and let the cavalry outflanked the left and right wings. In the war, the performance of the infantry shocked me. Facing the impact of the East Hu cavalry, the front of the cavalry was facing the rushing cavalry. After the opponent's impact, they launched a counterattack, and in the end they surrounded the East Hu tribe cavalry and wiped them out. In that battle, I did see their strict military discipline." Helan said sharply.

"Look at one leaf and know the autumn." He Lanxiong sighed: "My biggest dream now is to build an army whose discipline is comparable to that of subordinates. We are still far behind, you probably don't know. The lofty subordinates, how to fold the quilt, how to wear their clothes, have to line up for dinner, stand in line, and every word and action on weekdays have strict rules! They have a military law department that specializes in punishing soldiers who violate discipline. ."

Everyone was eclipsed.

"Young Master, don't you want us to be like this?" a centurion asked, howling.

"I don't have to copy his set. I say this just to remind you that strict military discipline needs to start with the smallest things in ordinary times. Don't think that it is a trivial thing to open your eyes and close your eyes. Small troubles accumulate. He Lanxiong laughed, drew a knife, cut off a piece of bacon that was roasted and greasy, stuffed it and chewed it in his mouth, "Yes, come on, do it quickly, or you have to It's burnt."

Everyone ate meat and drank wine, putting aside the heavy topics above, and the laughter in the room gradually increased. This wine is a spirit from Fufeng. This time when he went out in winter, He Lanxiong gritted his teeth and paid for it. Some of them came in handy in the end, otherwise this kind of weather would really freeze people to death.

The remote small village gradually fell into silence, and the new snowflakes covered the blood stains on the ground. It is hard for outsiders to think that this small village has now changed its owner.

In Xiling City, where the capital of Dai County is located, teams of soldiers continue to withdraw from a distance along the road. The snow on the road has long been trampled into black mud, and on both sides of the road, more Refugees in the country are also rushing to help the old and young. The great retreat of Daijun has begun. Most of the conventional army led by Zhao Mu has driven away. Now the people who are rushing to Xiling City are all Gongzilan's private army and temporary As soon as the recruited young men and the regular army leave, Daijun can no longer defend against the enemy outside the country.They can only defend some strong defensive cities.As for the people outside, they can withdraw as much as they can.

The entire Xiling City is busy, strengthening the city walls, preparing weapons, digging trenches, and arranging horses.Any way you can think of defending the city can be seen here.

Outside the city, piles of stones and wood are being moved away by the ants, and they have become walls that have increased in height, and arrow towers that have been uprooted on the ground.

In Xiling City, the mansion of Young Master Lan.

This is the most luxurious and the tallest mansion in Xiling City. You can even think of him as a city in Xiling City. At this time, inside, in a warm study room, the son Lan is facing a table with one person. And sit.

Gong Zi Lan is not only the county guard of Dai County, but also the lord of Dai County, and he is also the state minister of Zhao Country.It is naturally not an ordinary person who can sit on the table with him.This person is Zhao Mu who is about to lead his army to leave.

Looking at Zhao Mu's appearance alone, it is easy to be confused by him. He is more than 1.8 meters tall. In this era, he is definitely a big man. A face with a full face and a beard makes people feel rough. At first glance, This is a rough military commander.

But everyone knows that under Zhao Mu's rough appearance, there is an extremely delicate mind. Over the years, all the guys who think he is rough have been beaten by him on the battlefield. Not a few. After twenty years of military career, Zhao Mu has become famous all over the world, and he is extremely fearful for the monarchs and generals of various countries.

"The Prime Minister, I have to go today. The spies saw Yingteng's banner in Hangu and he was patrolling the army. I must rush over." Zhao Mu's wide palm held a small wine glass. , Staring at the wine in the glass, slowly and authentically.

"Go, the Huns just took a grab and left, but Qin was going to grab the land and attack the city, blocking them, and not letting them go out of the letter. It is said that Li Xin will also go, and Qin will go down this time. After spending a lot of money, the two famous generals gathered together in Guanguan, which is not a good sign." Zilan looked sad.

Zhao Mu raised his head, his eyes gleaming, "Zi Lan, let's resign from the country's prime minister. In this way, maybe the monarch will have less suspicion about you. You know, I can't talk about your affairs. I have been stationed in Daijun for so many years , The monarch was very suspicious of me. He has always worried that you and I will merge. This time I left Daijun, I am afraid I will never come back."

Zilan shook his head slowly, "If you can't give up, resigning makes him more suspicious. I'm the prime minister of the country. I'm in Handan. I'm under his nose. If I resign from the prime minister, he will return to Dai County. It’s even more worrying. It’s a portrayal of me now that I’m struggling and being embarrassed at both ends!"

Zhao Mu reluctantly shook his head, "This is really a dead knot. You bear the title of a state minister, but you don't have the power of a state minister. You are just a hostage. You really waste your talents. If you can let go of your suspicion, the two can work together, and Zhao Guo could have been able to go to the next level. Now the power is in Zhao Qi's hands, although he is not bad, but after all, he is just a middleman, and it is difficult to lead Zhao. Country."

The son Lan was silent for a while, "It was I who killed the people of Daijun. If it were not for me, the standing army of Daijun would have not left. The monarch really did everything in order to weaken my strength."

"Daijun has a wide area and is the largest county in the Zhao country. You are also a person who is qualified to aspire to the Zhao Kingdom. Within the Daijun, tens of thousands of Zhao's regular troops are stationed. No matter which point it is, the king will be jealous of you. Yes. This time, I just found a reasonable excuse to weaken your strength. That's fine, after passing this level, maybe you can be free."

"It's just suffering the people!"

"Nothing can be done!"
