Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

After sending out troops, the 2 horsemen were divided into two groups, Prince Rui and Jiang Yuan each led [-] horsemen and [-] infantry to Handan City and Dongwu City.Situ Sheng originally thought that Handan City would be better defended, and planned to distribute [-] more soldiers to Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan dismissed the idea, "Those who know their fate don't stand under the rock wall, [-] soldiers are enough. Parting before, Your Highness please take care!"

Jiang Yuan was wearing armor, with a treasured sword hanging from his waist, and a bow and arrow hanging immediately. He looked like a young hero, a young general in white robes.He was not afraid of commanding these officers. In order to entrap Prince Rui, that Jiang Kun transferred all the senior leaders of the general away. He, who had just been conferred by Prince Rui as a third-rank general and false general, was more than present at the scene. All the military officers must be big, and they have to listen if they don't listen.

Originally, it was impossible to hand over such an appointment to Prince Rui, but who asked the emperor to send Prince Rui to plug the hole?You want the horse not to eat grass, but also want the horse to run fast, you have a good idea!So the emperor gave Situ Sheng full authority over the [-] soldiers and horses as officers, and allowed him to be granted the rank of lieutenant general or below.And Mr. Jiang Kun, Mr. Jiang, together with the forces behind him, took away all the officers above the rank and file, which also made the largest official position that Prince Rui could confer, that is, the general, to become the highest officer in the entire army...

From the sixth rank to the third rank, a normal person may not be able to make it in half a lifetime. It only took Jiang Yuan a few months to complete this process...

At the beginning, those Qiu Babing still wanted to read Jiang Yuan's jokes, thinking that he must be a frail scholar who is a top scholar. How can he be used to riding a horse? He might have to get down for a long time. Who knows that Jiang Yuan can ride a horse well? They were elated, but they were exhausted.No, what about the frail scholar? !

There was a leader who had the courage to ask Jiang Yuan.Jiang Yuan replied quite straightforwardly: "Ah, I think I also wanted to take the martial arts exam at the beginning, but it's a pity that I couldn't do it because I was harmed by others. It's a pity, it's a pity, otherwise I might be able to win the martial arts champion or something."

... You always wanted to take the martial arts exam, but you got a three-yuan grade in the essay exam?You are great, you are great...

At this time, there was a commotion beside the team, Jiang Yuan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

A soldier came back immediately and said, "Tell the general that someone said they saw a tiger."

"Tiger?" Jiang Yuan smiled dismissively, "Take me to have a look."

The officers next to him hurriedly stopped them, general, my lord, if the tiger is so powerful and injures you, it's better to KO it in the end.

Jiang Yuan ignored him, shook the reins, and the snow-riding black horse sent by King Rui immediately ran forward, and in a blink of an eye, he reached the enemy where the soldiers were screaming. "Where is the tiger?"

A soldier pointed to the wormwood next to him, "My lord, there." Sure enough, there was a crouching black shadow there, and it really looked like a tiger that seemed to be motionless.

Jiang Yuan hurriedly let the soldiers step aside, stationed horses, drew bows, and shot arrows in one go.Hearing a whoosh sound, he hit the black shadow, and a soldier beside him immediately went to check, and when he pushed through the bushes, he found that the black shadow was not a tiger, but a huge rock that looked a bit like a tiger.Taking a closer look, the arrow clusters shot by Jiang Yuan had already penetrated into the stone, not even half of the arrows penetrated into the stone.The soldier was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly: "The general is brave!"

The military officers who followed were still a little bit unconvinced, and an assistant borrowed Jiang Yuan's bow to draw it, but after a long time, he could only draw it a little.Others didn't believe it, so they took it to try, but no one could pull it away, and they asked with blushing faces, "Sir, how many stones is your bow?"

Jiang Yuan said with a smile: "I want to add more stones to this bow, but the craftsman said it can't be done." He took the bow and arrow and pulled it away, immediately calming down the group of soldiers.Jiang Yuan drove his horse back to the army, leaving only the group of military officers talking to each other in low voices.

"It's no wonder my lord wants to take the martial arts test. With such supernatural power, it's so easy to pass the martial arts test."

"Your Excellency said that he was killed by others, who made him unable to perform martial arts?"

"You haven't heard how our bosses were transferred away. I heard that the Ministry of War and honorable officials here have all put in their best efforts."

"Those bosses left, leaving us to die?"

"Hush, keep up, keep up, don't say it, don't say it."

Jiang Yuan heard it clearly.Hehe, the guys who will be sent to Zhao to die must be the thorns in each army. Although such people are capable, they are not valued by their superiors. Now they are sent to die. Naturally, the people are angry, which is a good way to win the morale of the army. when.After this battle, Prince Rui's army had strength.

As for that stone tiger...

Of course he arranged...

He sent several soldiers to find a big stone that looked like a wild beast, and he shouted that there was a tiger.But if he doesn't have the ability to shoot an arrow into a stone tiger, it's useless, isn't it?In other words, he seems to have played with what Li Guang did back then.I'm sorry, sorry, you didn't show up in history anyway, so I'm restoring history.

Marching all the way, before arriving at Tobu City, the story of Jiang Yuan shooting the stone tiger had spread throughout the army, followed by Jiang Yuan's words, "If any of the soldiers in this battle participates in the battle bravely If the enemy has meritorious service, I will protect him as the commander-in-chief; if the commander-in-chief has meritorious service, I will protect him as a guard; if the guard has meritorious service, he will be the assistant leader; He is an ordinary soldier, and I would like to promote him to be a general!" At this time, none of the 1 people would listen to Jiang Yuan's words, and everyone was waiting to be rewarded for their meritorious service!We all know that Prince Rui can be awarded the rank of lieutenant general or below, this Lord Jiang Yuanjiang is Prince Rui's confidant, if he can get his favor, he will surely rise to the top!

Hurrying all the way, the whole army finally occupied Tobu City before the arrival of the soldiers.

Jiang Yuan first ordered to strengthen the walls and clear the wilderness, and then ordered the four gates of the outer city to be sealed.Then he posted a post to gather all the males of the wealthy families in the city in the county government office. They were allowed to enter and not allowed to leave. If they wanted to go out, they had to follow his orders.Then he ordered someone to look at the male staying in the hotel in the city in the same way, and he was relieved.

There is a reason for this.Ordinary people in San Francisco avoid the chaos, and those who are not in a hurry to get involved in such things are mostly local local tyrants and evil gentry who would do things like dedicate the city, surrender, or lure the enemy in.As for those people in the inn, how many people will go out to stay in the inn at this time?There must be a secret work of King Qi, who was sent to find out the situation in the city and even contact the gentry.Regardless of whether it is true or not, they are all switched on separately, so that they cannot connect with each other and cannot resist.In this way, Tobu City will be much safer.

Taking over the city defense of Tobu City and gaining [-] garrisons, there are a little fewer people, but it is better than nothing.As an important town, Tobu City still has a lot of weapons, bows and arrows. Jiang Yuan ordered people to make detailed statistics, and collected fuel, firewood, stones, cauldrons and other items needed to defend the city, and calculated all the existing ones in the city. Food, the situation is generally not bad.

Jiang Yuan has already received the news that King Qi personally leads an army of 15, claiming to be 30, and is on his way to Tobu City, and will arrive tomorrow at the latest.So the most important thing at this moment is to mobilize the masses.I heard that the king of Qi was in rebellion. In order to prevent being killed by the rebels, people from several nearby counties gathered in Tobu City, which is high in the city and deep in the pool. A Tobu City crowded together and gathered tens of thousands of people, which can be called shoulder-to-shoulder crowd up.It's no wonder, after all, it's only been a few decades since the chaos at the end of Yan, and there are old people who have seen the chaos of soldiers. If the rebels really come, I'm afraid that less than one out of ten people will survive. run?There are 2 strong men among so many people, so don't be a pity.

Mobilizing the masses may seem difficult, but it is actually very simple.At the beginning, Mr. Mao's method was to beat local tyrants to divide the land, and this move directly turned a certain bald head's rear upside down.Of course, this trick can't be used now, Jiang Yuan wants to use other methods.Back then, why was Lord Mao's army so bleak during the [-]-mile period?The superficial analysis is because there is no mass base, and the in-depth digging is because the propaganda of a certain bald head is good.Among those propaganda, our army is simply drinking blood, killing people without calculation, doing all the bad things, and deserving death... Therefore, no matter how much you counter-propaganda, you will still receive strong resistance wherever you go, which shows the importance of public opinion sex.

Public opinion is a knife that does not see blood, but when you want to see blood, you can immediately see blood and seal your throat!

Jiangyuan has been closed for three days. No one knows what's going on outside the city except him, so he can make up whatever he wants.In fact, it’s not a fiction. Soldiers and bandits have been a family since ancient times, and it has always been like this. Soldiers burn, kill and loot all the way, otherwise no one will give their lives if there is no benefit.Nowadays, many people know about Ten Days in Yangzhou and Three Massacres in Jiading, but has anyone read the history carefully?During the Three Kingdoms period, how many people were slaughtered by the princes, and how many people killed people for food?

No matter the foreigner or the Han nationality, at that time war was just one move, looting, looting, killing, killing, killing!Not only China, but the whole world is like this.How many Jews were killed across Europe?How many Irish and Scots did England kill?Even in modern times, how many people did Germany kill during World War II?Not to mention the style of a certain group of oriental garbage.It doesn't need to be edited in detail, just talking about Jiang Yuan can give a lot of stories, and then the next step is to spread these stories.

Spreading public opinion is Jiang Yuan's forte. He ordered dozens of soldiers to put on common people's clothes and leave the city quietly. Spread fake news.In less than half a day, the whole city was a sensation.

"I heard no, Gaotang County was massacred ahead!"

"I heard that it's not just Gaotang, Qihe County is also... well."

"I heard that the few who entered the city this morning escaped from Qihe County. I heard that the people of the King of Qi shouted outside the city at that time, 'Open the city gate and no one will be attacked. If you don't open the city gate, the whole county will die. ', Qihe County had no choice but to open the city gate, who knows... I heard that the moat was filled with blood! A young man saw his whole family killed, and his seven-year-old brother was chopped into two sections, because A piece of silver."

"What money, I heard that people were killed just for a pancake."

"No, no, what I heard is that the reason for killing people is because the Qi army has no military rations, so killing people can cut their flesh and make dry food for human flesh!"

"eat human?"

"Why? I don't believe it. You are still young. My father said that at the end of the Yan Dynasty, many places killed people and ate human flesh and dry food in wars. A few years ago, when the Yellow River burst, didn't those victims also eat people? Even their own sons The girl is already cooked..."

"Then, why don't we run away?"

"Run? Where are you going? The army is in chaos. How can you run with your family members against those rebellious troops? Once you are hit, the men and children will be eaten, and the women will... Sigh."

"I saw it with my own eyes, the kid whose whole family was killed voluntarily went up to the city wall to defend the city!"

"I...I'm going to go to the city to defend the city too. Fighting for one is worth the money, fighting for two to earn one is better than being killed and eaten alive."

……

Jiangyuan recruited people to help defend the city, and more than 1 people immediately signed up.Needless to say, they were all frightened by him.But he didn't lie all the time, Gaotang County was indeed empty, and Qihe County was looted. If the city was destroyed, most of the people in Dongwu City might not be able to save their lives.Rather than being a two-legged sheep and being slaughtered, it is better to risk your life, maybe there is still a way to survive.

Look, these [-] people are just the vanguard. If the city is besieged, more people will voluntarily defend the city.The hearts of the people may not only be collected by benevolence and righteousness. Public opinion is the best net, which can catch everyone in one go.

After setting up the soldiers defending the city, Jiang Yuan fell asleep and fell asleep. The enemy army will approach the city tomorrow, and there will be no chance to sleep if you want to sleep. It is better to recharge your energy and wait for the enemy.

In Handan City, Prince Rui sealed off the city gates according to the brochure, imprisoned the rich man and everyone in the inn, and made all the preparations.It is quite easy to recruit the people in Handan, just like Jiang Yuan thought, and they gathered to respond. It took only half a day to recruit tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which was enough to resist the Wei army. Not only that, many of the Wei army were rescued by him in the past. , It is estimated that there will be defections.But I don't know what's going on in Tobu City.

Situ Sheng saw the intentions of his younger sister Yuehua. His own sister's heart was tied to Jiang Yuan. He himself regarded Jiang Yuan as his mastermind, his younger brother, and even his brother-in-law.Although he hasn't mentioned this matter to Jiang Yuan yet, since Yuehua likes it, his elder brother will make their pair no matter what.I only hope that after this battle, both myself and Jiang Yuan can return safely, so that Yuehua can rest assured.
