Chapter 368
Liu Tao went to war, and the four girls watched him slowly leave as they were dressed in neatly, feeling somewhat sad.
Liu Cong and Liu Qiong are over one year old, perhaps with good genes and can learn to speak. At this moment, they are led by their mother and watched the familiar man named "Dad" leave, with a look of confusion and curiosity on their faces.
"Get together!" At the school ground, Liu Tao came to the army, looked at the elite army that had been prepared and issued an order.
In this battle, there were 2,000 infantrymen, 1,000 crossbowmen, 2,000 cavalrymen, 500 guards, 500 camps, and 7,000 combat soldiers. There were more than 13,000 baggage soldiers. Among them, there were 100 field doctors and 50 craftsmen who were urgently trained.
In the past year, the soldiers had received some basic knowledge of first aid in battlefields. It is very likely that the group in front of them would not be used, but those left behind were probably still available.
"There are two policies for this battle!" Liu Tao looked at everyone, "First, take over the military power of the front line and at the same time, take over Wuyuan County in full; secondly, to disrupt the sky in Xihe County, our enemies have only two choices, either surrender or destroy!"
"Here!" the generals responded one after another.
Liu Tao gave a big policy. Considering that the scope of Xihe County is quite large, it is very likely to divide the troops. At least, it will be difficult to order them one by one at that time. At this time, the generals of each department need to make arrangements by themselves.
The generals who fought with the army this time, Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Wen Chou, Yan Liang and Zhang He.
Zhang Fei had a great opinion on this, but Liu Tao needed him to set out from Xianyang after receiving the order, and took Xun Li's troops, Cheng Lian's troops and Huang Zhong's troops to accept the counties of Wuyuan County.
Generally speaking, Lu Bu and Zhang Fei choose one of them. Liu Tao asked them to take the rock-scissors at that time, and then Zhang Fei lost... It is said that Guan Gong, who has a black face, is indeed a black face.
"Go to the expedition!" After confirming that everyone understood the policy, Liu Tao immediately announced it.
The 20,000 army was so powerful that it went from Yunzhong County toward Luo County, Dingxiang County, which was the front line for the invasion of Xihe County. Of course, Manber County in Wuyuan County was also considered a front line, but generally speaking, it was necessary to go to a wealthy area, rather than to a military town in the north that had no fuel and heavy troops to guard, right?
Yunzhong County is not far from Luo County, about 150 miles away. If you take the expressway in later generations, it will be almost the same for two hours.
"Lord, isn't the marching accelerating this time?" Guo Jia, who was a military advisor, asked when he was not rushing for a long time.
Riding a horse is really a toss and turns for a person like him who is weak in physique. But if you ride a carriage, the bumps will also cost you life. After enjoying that experience, Guo Jia would rather ride a horse.
Fortunately, he started to join Liu Tao at the age of sixteen. Within three years, under Liu Tao's mandatory requirements, he insisted on training every day. He dared not say that he reached the level of elite soldiers or even generals, at least he was much healthier than ordinary people.
"One hundred and fifty miles can be reached in about two days, why bother so rush? Don't worry, let the people on the front line take responsibility first." Liu Tao replied casually, Zhang Yi asked him to support him, but there was no designated time when he arrived.
If possible, you can take a walk in three days and walk slowly. When Zhang Yi arrives there, he will just die, so that's the best.
"Since that's the case, I'll take a carriage instead." Guo Jia smiled when he heard this, and then went back to take a carriage. He didn't take a carriage before, because when he was on the road, the bumps were absolutely deadly. If he didn't rush, the carriage would definitely be more comfortable!
"Is it because he came to ask for it to confirm this?" Liu Tao began to feel that he had recruited fake Guo Jia.
Or can you say that after following him for about three years, can you successfully lead a "prodigal son" even more wrong? Forget it, just bend it, just don't bend it...
Not only Guo Jia, but also Du Xi, who was the chief clerk, also changed his carriage to ride. Liu Tao was speechless. He simply announced that the team would prepare the carriage for the literati and the older craftsmen.
How many doctors and craftsmen who followed the army were around forty or fifty years old? Due to the food and living conditions of this era, they looked similar to those in their sixties or seventies. Liu Tao could take care of him if he could. Who would make his medical skills and craftsmanship really work?
After heading south like this, he barely arrived in Luo County on the evening of the third day. The defenders here saw a large army coming over, and at first they hurriedly closed the city gate.
As a result, less than ten minutes later, I realized that it was a friendly army, so I quickly opened the city gate and left the city to greet me.
"Where is the governor Zhang Yi now?" Liu Tao saw that Luo County Magistrate, County Magistrate, and County Magistrate were out to welcome him, but he did not see the governor Zhang Yi, and he thought this guy was pretending.
"The governor is recuperating and cannot stay. Please don't be surprised by the general." The county magistrate hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
It turned out that the day before yesterday, the rioters came to harass Luo County, which was obviously a test. At that time, Zhang Yi personally climbed the city wall to command the counterattack. Although the thieves did not take any advantage, the arrows shot over him shot Zhang Yi.
Originally, the arrow was not deep into the flesh, so there was no big problem, but yesterday, Zhang Yi's injury began to worsen and swell and pus, and the situation began to develop towards the worst. This may also be related to Zhang Yi's age. People in their sixties have normal immunity.
Is wound infection or tetanus? Liu Tao thought about it when he heard this, and said that Zhang Yi was a civil servant who had no military power and came to the front line to command, which was already very chaotic. It was impossible to take the lead in charging into battle, so how could he be attacked and killed by thieves?
It turned out that he was commanding a counterattack at the city wall, and then was injured by a hawkish arrow, and most likely, he died of tetanus or wound infection.
He can treat this thing, and it can be solved with a 'purification light'. The question is, why does he need to treat it? This is good, so he can save him from using a bad move behind his back. At least his conscience will not hurt so much... Even if he can't figure it out, he still has it.
Having said that, I went over to visit me that day. As a result, I was told that Zhang Yi had just fallen asleep and could not visit me. So I left a few words of greetings and settled down here now.
We must ask about supplies and supplies. We can’t fight, we have to let him pay for his own money. After the war, we have to pay for his own money?
I immediately learned that the supplies were sent to Taiyuan and Shangdang to transport them one after another, which was no problem. It was just about the pension, and I had to wait until they were reported to the court and then wait for the court to distribute them.
The next day, reinforcements from Wuyuan County also came, and Wang Shi, the leader, came to support him. This time, with 3,000 cavalrymen, the number of defenders in Wuyuan County may have all the cavalry had been transferred out.
After all, he was facing a group of rebels from the Southern Xiongnu, basically all cavalry, and it was useless to bring infantry over. As for Liu Tao, his infantry was mainly used to protect the baggage troops.
"Prince Wang, long time no see!" Liu Tao came forward to greet him with a smile.
"General Liu, it's indeed not seen for a long time!" Wang Shi smiled reluctantly. If he could, he would rather never see him in his life.
"Since the Wang Duwei has come here, I will announce it a little..." Liu Tao didn't care and immediately announced, "The governor is currently ill and has no command power. Now, as General Zhenbei, I will take over everything here!"
