Han Dao world

The moment they turned around, both of them showed painful expressions at the same time.

They had already run a dozen times on this uphill road about a hundred steps long, and their legs were as heavy as lead, but they dared not have any opinions.

Because the emperor followed suit before, but his body was too weak, so he was eliminated the third time.

The two of them are the two who persisted until the end.

This trip was harder than ever, and every step was a torment.

When they reached the finish line, they could not stand still, and they just wanted to sit on the ground, or simply lie on the ground.

"Now let you attack them, is there any chance of winning?" Liu Xie said to the two young soldiers who were huddled together.

The two teenagers glanced at each other, stepped forward, one with a sword and shield in front, and the other with a spear behind, and attacked Wang Chang first.In normal times, Wang Chang would not take these two half-grown children seriously.But now, his physical strength was exhausted. Although he tried his best to raise the shield in his hand, he couldn't move his feet.

The two teenagers cooperated with each other and easily defeated them, symbolically wiping their necks with their sabers.

"Your Majesty, it's very easy." A young man said proudly.

Liu Xie turned around, looked at a group of thin soldiers and said, "Look, no matter how strong you are, if you climb up this hillside ten times in a row, you will be too tired to handle even a child. You are all adults People, as long as their hearts are not flustered and their hands are not soft, they will be able to deal with it."

The soldiers nodded again and again, full of confidence.

These are the weak ones selected from Dong Cheng's army. Dong Cheng originally arranged for them to do some work such as carrying ordnance and the wounded, but Liu Xie felt that Dong Cheng's troops were too small, and he wanted to use every soldier as much as possible. , specially arranged such a demonstration.

To get them to fight the enemy, the first step is to get rid of their fear of Xiliang soldiers.

In the beginning, Wang Chang and others were able to easily defeat these thin soldiers with one against ten, but after letting them run a few times, less than half of them could easily win.After ten times, even the thinnest young soldier can defeat the strongest Wang Chang.

A living example is right in front of your eyes, everyone has lost their fear and saw the hope of revenge.

They were singled out because they all had the tragic experience of their relatives being killed by Xiliang people and their homes burned down by Xiliang people.If they were given the chance to take revenge, most of them would be willing to give it a try.

Liu Xie assured them that they were only allowed to serve as the reserve team to give the main force a chance to replenish their physical strength, and they would not be allowed to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Such things are commonplace for many generals, which can not only consume the opponent's physical strength, but also reduce food consumption.For Dong Cheng, no one would believe it, but Liu Xie is the emperor, and his words are golden.His personal promise still has a certain degree of credibility.

"You have worked hard, go eat." Liu Xie said to Wang Chang and the others: "One liter of wine per person, and an extra half an hour of rest."

Wang Chang and others, who were as tired as dead dogs just now, were revived with full blood, jumped up, thanked loudly, and rushed to the big camp where they were eating.

Those Huben servants who were lazy and afraid of being tired and refused to participate in the drill looked at each other with jealousy.

It's okay to rest for half an hour, but a liter of wine is too rare.After eating wheat rice with His Majesty for a few days, birds can fade out of his mouth.How comfortable it would be to have a few sips of wine.

Unfortunately, this opportunity was missed.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." Dong Wan reminded.

"I'm not in a hurry, I won't be too late to eat after they finish eating."

Dong Wan let out an "oh" and didn't say anything else.Since Liu Xie came to the camp, he has formed an unwritten habit of not only eating rough wheat rice with ordinary soldiers, but also being the last to eat.As long as there is a soldier who has not eaten, he will not eat.

As a nobleman, Dong Wan could only accompany her, while watching the soldiers eating, while holding her growling stomach, thinking about the pain when the rice slid down her throat, she hesitated whether to apply to go back to the imperial camp.

Although Yuying only has one meal a day, after all, it needs to be finer, so that it is not so difficult to swallow.

Liu Xie couldn't bear to see it, but he could only pretend not to see it.

In order to gain the support of the soldiers and go all out in the next battle, he had to lead by example.

Even if it's a show, you have to stick to the show to the end.

This is related to whether he can gain a firm foothold in the army, whether he can restore the dignity of the court, and whether he can make everyone—including Jia Xu—believe that he is the son of destiny and the master of ZTE.

Unsuccessful, they become benevolent.

"Your Majesty, look." Wang Yue suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance, and called in a low voice.

Liu Xie turned his head to look, and saw two cavalrymen galloping towards the horizon, the horses flying all four hooves into the air, pulling up two streams of smoke.

After a while, the cavalry rushed down the slope. Before their horses stopped, they jumped off their horses and rushed a few steps forward. One of them fell into the loess, struggled a few times but failed to get up, and the other staggered up the hillside. .

"Your Majesty..." the cavalryman was out of breath, pointing to the distance. "Fly...the Flying Bear Army is here."

"How many people in total?"

"There are more than [-] cavalry and about [-] infantry. One of the generals commanding the army is surnamed Li and the other is surnamed Hu."

Liu Xie nodded and ordered people to spread out the map.The cavalry pointed out the location of the Feixiong Army on the map, which was about ten miles away from Guo Si's camp.

"Have you met the enemy?"

"No, I will bear in mind Your Majesty's order and avoid contact with them as much as possible." The cavalryman raised his sleeves, wiped his face, and the loess wet with sweat was pulled out in a row. "They shot a few arrows from a distance, but we all have iron armor for self-defense, so it doesn't get in the way."

"Okay, let's go get something to eat."

"Wei!" The cavalry responded excitedly, and went to eat with his partner who had just climbed the hillside.

Liu Xie stipulated that scouts consume a lot of energy, and every time they get useful information, they can get an extra piece of food.If you get important information, you can also earn a reward for your family, usually a bowl of wheat rice.

People who have never been hungry do not know the value of food. Most of these people have experienced starvation, and some have even eaten people, or almost been eaten by others. They cherish this opportunity very much and try their best to find out the news.

For this reason, Liu Xie had to repeatedly tell them not to get too close to the Xiliang Army's camp, and not to easily contact the Xiliang Rangers, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties.

Still, there are people taking risks for useful information, and casualties are reported almost daily.

But no one complained, it was all voluntary.

From noon to night, more than a dozen pieces of news came successively, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

Liu Xie ordered that the exercise of each battalion be over, and the whole army be turned into an actual combat state.

Chapter 57

A lamp like a bean.

Liu Xie and Dong Cheng were sitting opposite each other, while Dong Wan leaned aside and dozed off, nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Looking at the map, Liu Xie recalled the actual terrain and the personalities, strengths and weaknesses of the captain and Sima in charge, and even Qu Junhou, who directly commanded the battle, to estimate their possible reactions when the battle was imminent, and how to dispatch them to avoid them. rout.

During the past few days when Guo Si was arguing with Li Jue, he was not idle. He carefully wrote down all the generals above Qu Junhou under Dong Cheng's command, including some team leaders and village chiefs, and even met many ordinary soldiers.

Han Feizi said that fierce generals must be sent to the army.

Although he didn't find a fierce general like Xu Huang, he made up a lot of basic common sense.

As a good citizen in the 21st century, he has no concept of cold weapon wars, and most of his impressions come from film and television dramas.

However, as we all know, most of the cold weapon wars in film and television dramas are unreliable, including the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is known for its excellent production.

For example, taking the head of a general among ten thousand armies is definitely a legendary record. Regardless of whether Guan Yu has punished Wen Chou or not, he is one of the best generals in the Three Kingdoms era just because of the fact that he killed Yan Liang.

In contrast, Lu Bu, who is known as the number one fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, failed to kill Guo Si in front of the battle, but only injured Guo Si.

He originally thought that he should practice martial arts hard so that he could participate in the battle in the future.

It was only later that I found out that not to mention the commander of an army like him, even a captain who commanded 500 people would not easily go to the front line to participate in the battle, and more often he commanded from behind, and there were fifty fully armed guards around him to guarantee Safety.

Mingling with ordinary soldiers not only made up for common sense, but also allowed him to gain the trust of the soldiers, which greatly boosted morale.

Today's Dong Chengbu's morale is like a rainbow, his fighting spirit is high, and he can already fight Guo Bang.

Dong Cheng himself thought the same way, implying that Liu Xie didn't need Liu Xie to do it himself, he could do it for him, and he was sure enough to repel Guo Si and hold the position.

Liu Xie ignored him.

Dong Cheng's loyalty is flawless, but his ability is worrying. He will never let Dong Cheng fight first.

The first battle is related to the morale of the army, it must be won, and there is no room for mistakes.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. This battle must be won." Dong Cheng said quietly, looking at Liu Xie anxiously.

Liu Xie raised his head. "Uncle, after this battle, I plan to transfer you to Zhi Jinwu, what do you think?"

Dong Cheng's eyes flickered.

Zhi Jinwu is one of the Nine Ministers and is responsible for patrolling the imperial city.Right now there is no imperial city, Zhijinwu is just a false name, even the Tiqi and Jiji under his command have been merged into Wei Wei's command.

But the current executive Jinwu is Fuwan, the queen's father.

If he can crush one end, he has no objection.

"Your Majesty intends to transfer Mr. Fu to any position?"

"He is a scholar, he doesn't know how to fight, he can do anything, but he is not suitable to be the Zhijinwu." Liu Xie looked at Dong Cheng and grinned. "Uncle Zhibing, and a relative of the state, I can trust you."

Dong Cheng raised his brows lightly, feeling happy in his heart, but he was still a little bit unwilling.

"It's a pity that I don't have any combat achievements to speak of."

"What credit is greater than saving Jia?" Liu Xie put down the pen in his hand. "Without my uncle, how could I have escaped from Xinfeng Academy. Uncle is the King of the King, and he deserves his name. You have already defeated Guo Bang once, and it is meaningless to do it again. If you don't fight well, On the contrary, it provokes criticism.”

Dong Cheng laughed and nodded in relief.

The emperor is right, and he really thinks about him.

After all, he is his own.

"It's up to Your Majesty." Dong Cheng said everything. "I will fight for His Majesty. If there is any disharmony, I will defend Your Majesty with my own body."

Liu Xie nodded in agreement.

He has enough experience to deal with this kind of food addict.

On the contrary, an old fox like Jia Xu must be careful not to be fooled by his superficial writing.

"Uncle, there is one thing..." Liu Xie frowned and sighed. "I don't know how to deal with it now."

"Your Majesty, tell me." Dong Cheng patted his chest and said, "I would like to share your majesty's worries."

"Guo Si besieged and did not attack, and Yang Ding's food will soon be exhausted. How to send the second batch of food in, I have not found a safe way."

Dong Cheng suddenly felt that the shooting just now was a bit heavy, his chest was a little stuffy, and he couldn't breathe.

Taking the initiative to attack, break Guo Si's block, and send the grain to Yang Ding's camp, this is not a simple task, but a potentially fatal task.

What's more terrible is that the flying bear army led by Li Shi has already arrived in Huayin and is ready to fight at any time.

That was the real elite, Dong Cheng couldn't think of anyone who could withstand the repeated attacks of the Feixiong army.

"That's all... Guo Si is fine, Fei Xiongjun is not easy to deal with, Your Majesty should think twice." Dong Cheng said gruffly.

Liu Xie smiled bitterly.

He really has a headache.

It is a good thing to stir up internal strife between Li Jue and Guo Si, but the fact that the Feixiong army arrived on the battlefield so quickly was not the result he wanted to see.

Li Shi may be weak, but the Feixiong Army is really strong. He still can't find cavalry that can fight the Feixiong Army head-on.

"It would be great if Lu Bu was here," Liu Xie said.

Dong Cheng nodded in agreement.

In terms of the strength of the cavalry, perhaps only the Bingzhou cavalry can fight against the Liangzhou cavalry.

It's a pity that Lu Bu is not here. He went to Xuzhou, and he couldn't quench his thirst far away.

"Go to bed early." Liu Xie got up. "I'll go back to the imperial camp."

Dong Cheng didn't say a word, and got up to leave.

Liu Xie sat for a while, got up and called Wang Yue, and asked him to call the others and go back to the imperial camp.

-

The imperial camp was quiet.

They can only eat one meal a day, and there is only wheat and rice, without a trace of meat. Everyone tacitly chose to go to bed early to reduce consumption as much as possible.

When Liu Xie walked into the imperial camp, except for the patrolling soldiers, there was no one in sight. Most of the tents were pitch black.

Liu Xie slowed down as much as possible and passed quickly so as not to disturb others.

Jia Xu's tent was still lit, and a figure could be vaguely seen reflected on the tent.

Liu Xie waved his hand to signal Wang Yue and others to stand further away, and coughed lightly.

"Sir, are you asleep?"

"His Majesty?"

"It's me."

There was a soft sound in the tent, and the tent door opened, revealing Jia Xu's thin face.He glanced at Liu Xie, bowed his hands and saluted.
