Chapter Thirty-five

If you want to go to Bozhou, the path is not the same as going to Kaifeng.

In particular, he wanted to encircle the thieves and dismiss the left, so Zhao Yu's army first went to Baoding, then looked southeast, and on the third day, he arrived at Hejian Prefecture.

In the past few days, except for Zhao Yu, few of them could remain unchanged in their faces. They were all exhausted.

So I looked for a place outside Hejian Mansion, set up camps, rested for a day, and set off at night, and headed south to Shandong.

Four more days later, he passed Jinan Prefecture and arrived at Yanzhou Prefecture.

Zhao Yu made arrangements and arrived just after seven days, the army was about to lose food, and he happened to arrive near Ningyang in Yanzhou Prefecture.

Then he set up a camp and ordered Yang He to bring his men and go to Ningyang to get dry food for another seven days, and it went smoothly.

Zhao Yu had to applaud the prince's preparations.

As long as he thought, he could get food and salary at any county level. It can be seen that the prince's gaze was so far-reaching and the thoughts Zhao Gongming arranged.

I'm afraid that the prince foresaw the current situation many years ago.

It was because he borrowed the status of the eldest son of the emperor and the crown prince that he could do all this. Otherwise, if he changed his person, he would not have the family business even if he had ten or twenty years.

Of course, it may not be possible to do it just by identity. The prince has great talent and Zhao Gongming has ability. The right thing is to be true for the two ministers to be united.

Moreover, the dry food prepared by the prince for the army is different from ordinary dry food. If the dry food in the ordinary army is made of grains and mixed grains, it is actually superior. However, these days, the dry food in the army is mostly made of bran and bran, which is difficult to eat and cannot be filled.

The dry food prepared by the prince not only has all kinds of grains, but also contains meat floss. Whether it is dried or soaked in water, the taste is pretty good.

At least in the food, no one in the army has ever complained.

As he marched along the way, Zhao Yu confirmed the truth of the military books in practice, but he did not relax his training in the army. While marching urgently, he trained.

Those who marching loudly will have ten whips. Those who disturb the people will have fifty whips. Those who harm the people will have their lives.

I also observed that the ability of middle and low-level officers in the army was to kill those who were idiots and disrespect military discipline, or beat them to the end, and the capable ones were promoted. Promoting those with ability and eliminating those who were incompetent not only strengthened Zhao Yu's control over the army, but also caused a qualitative change in the temperament of the army.

In this way, rewards and punishments were clearly distinguished. In just seven days, this army gradually became a different appearance.

Military orders were issued, as anxious as wind and fire.

This army looks like a war machine that can operate smoothly.

One day in Ningyang, and set off again at night.

Zhao Yu led the army to the center, Yang He followed, and his personal soldier Zhang commander guarded the other side.

Yang He's face became thinner, but his energy was high. His eyes had their own brilliance and occasionally flashed.

He looked at the army dragon that was not close to the front and behind, and sighed: "When you reach Fengyang Mansion, this army will be particularly different."

He said: "The general's methods are indeed extraordinary."

Zhao Yu laughed and shook his head: "Where is my ordinary method? It's just that the world is chaotic and the world is in a cold state. The rewards and punishments are clear, and it is not difficult to do it."

Yang He shook his head: "It's difficult. General, let's look at this, there are many large armies everywhere. How many generals can do it? People's hearts are just greedy."

Zhao Yu was silent for a moment and excitedly said, "When the prince ascended the throne, the demonic atmosphere will naturally be wiped out."

Yang He nodded and said yes.

That night, the army left Yanzhou Prefecture and arrived in Xuzhou at dawn.

This army must be more than 7 or 8 days ago. One can eat enough. Although it is dry food, it is full, and meat floss is mixed in the grains. In addition, the urgent marching and training made many yellow-skinned and thin soldiers finally have a touch of blood on their faces and are more energetic.

At least the strength is much more sufficient than before.

Secondly, in terms of military discipline, we can finally barely implement orders.

After all, Zhao Yu is famous and the soldiers are willing to listen to him. Moreover, the dry food is sufficient and the food is good, which makes the soldiers more recognized.

Therefore, in terms of fulfilling military discipline, it has roughly met the requirements of the real army.

In another seven days, this army finally looked like an elite soldier.

Originally, these 50,000 troops came from different generals in Liaodong. But not the old and weak, except for the standard camps of the generals, these are the backbone forces and the basic military skills are qualified.

As long as the general's discipline, diet, rewards and punishments are in place, the military power of elite troops will naturally be formed.

The so-called general is a brave soldier.

Zhao Yu is so fierce, he is fair and just, and acts decisively. To be honest, these soldiers feel that following Zhao Yu is safe and promising.

Various factors are superimposed, so this kind of change occurs.

Fengyang Mansion, arrived.

Fengyang is the hometown of Taizu and is called Zhongdu.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the thief sacrificed his thief to destroy Fengyang and dug the tomb of Taizu. Such evil deeds were really outrageous.

Now six years have passed and the imperial tomb has been rebuilt, but it is no longer the same as before.

Zhao Yu led a 50,000 army into Fengyang and set up camp outside Huaiyuan. Huaiyuan is located north of Fengyang, only a few dozen miles away. Zhao Yu did not plan to go to Fengyang, but he was aiming at Shouzhou and Huoqiu.

In the fifth camp of the Left, the old Hui Ma Shouying, the Ge Li's eyes were He Yilong, the King of Left Jin He Jin, the King of Left Lin, and the King of Reincarnation Liu Xiyao, these five thieves were active in this area.

Among them, Huoqiu is the base camp of these thieves, and Shouzhou is also under their control.

In fact, whether Huaiyuan or Fengyang, they were all trembling in the spy of these thieves.

Now the general of Fengyang is Huang Degong, who is in charge of the imperial tomb with the general of Sizhou Wang Xian. Zhao Yu does not intend to meet these two generals. In Zhao Yu's eyes, the local generals are even more intimate than the generals of the towns in Liaodong.

I don't like them in a word.

The so-called killing good people is the most popular in local army. Liaodong is better. Why? Because the enemy of the towns in Liaodong is the Tartars. Killing good people is very risky and is easily recognized.

But the army in the Central Plains did not have these concerns. Because the bandits were transformed by peasants who could not survive. Every time these local troops could not defeat or did not catch up with the bandits, they would kill them first when they saw the village, and then take the heads and lie about military merits.

Because these people are even more hateful.

The Ming Dynasty has made a contribution to this point.

The so-called military force is like combing, which is what they are talking about.

Just outside Huaiyuan, Zhao Yu summoned all the generals and officials of various departments in the camp.

He sat in the upper head, and Yang He was on his right hand. The other generals and officials were listed in sequence.

Zhao Yu expanded the map, hung it in front of him, pointed to Shouzhou and Huoqiu on the map, and pointed to Bozhou in the north, and said seriously: "The thief of the Left is in the Huoqiu area, and Shouzhou is also its control area. Look at Bozhou again. Our army went south, and Xian thieves had already moved east from Henan. At this time, I don't know whether Bozhou fell."

"In any case, whether Bozhou falls or not, the fifth camp of the Left are the first targets of our generals."

Zhao Yu first clarified his goal and said: "The army was repaired for one day and started at night. It was divided into five divisions, all starting from Huaiyuan, from north to south, either fast or slow. Be sure to surround Huoqiu before dawn."

Next, Zhao Yu made detailed arrangements: "I led 10,000 troops to Shouzhou. The other four generals, both north and south, were from two routes, each with no more than twenty miles apart, crossing Shouzhou and heading straight to Huoqiu."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yu looked murderous intent: "Be sure to obey orders. If you dare to disobey the military orders, you will definitely kill you!"

All the generals under the tent immediately stood up in awe, clasped their fists and shouted loudly: "I will definitely not let down the entrusted general!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand and asked the generals to sit down, then he said to Yang He with a side face: "Can the staff officer be supplemented?"

Yang He said: "There are two points."

"First, should we inform General Huang Degong of Fengyang and General Wang Xian of Sizhou?"

"Secondly, although the bandits in the Fifth Camp of the Glea, Huoqiu, Huoqiu is their base camp. However, the Dabie Mountains are right next to them, so you must be careful not to escape into the Dabie Mountains."

After saying that, he kept silent.

Zhao Yu nodded slightly: "Don't know that Huang Degong and Wang Xian will be there. I don't like these people."

This is outrageous and unblocked.

Yang He couldn't help but smile.

He doesn't like it either.

"As for the Dabie Mountains, this is indeed a trouble. Therefore, I ordered the army to march overnight and besiege Huoqiu." Zhao Yu said: "As for those who cannot catch them all in one go, I have my own way to deal with those who escape into the Dabie Mountains."

A cold light flashed in his eyes: "That thieves thought they could rest assured if they fled into the mountains. But they didn't know that I, Zhao Yu, have lived in the mountains for ten years. I just need one person and one iron cone to kill them all!"

Upon hearing this, Yang He nodded slightly: "General thought carefully."

All arrangements should be made, and military orders should be issued, and the soldiers from all departments should not be mentioned when they are arrested.

Just in the evening, Zhao Yu was in the tent, and suddenly a personal soldier came to report, saying that Huang Degong, the general of Fengyang, had arrived.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but be stunned, wondering why Huang Degong came on his own initiative?

But it was not easy to turn it off and said, "President Huang comes in."

But for a moment, Zhao Yu heard a noise outside the tent and couldn't help but frown. He stood up a few steps and opened the tent door. He saw a general with a hundred personal soldiers not far outside the tent.

If your own soldiers stop them, they will basically conflict.

Zhao Yu frowned and shouted, "What's the noise!"

Then he stepped forward in a few steps.

Huang Degong is a man with a strong figure, but his eyebrows are big and big eyes, but his expression is unruly. He looks at Zhao Yu, and his eyes are quite playful and condescending.

He was the general of himself, and Zhao Yu was just a general. Even if Zhao Yu now has a army of 50,000, which is more than him, he still feels superior.

When Huang Degong saw Zhao Yu coming out, he looked at his outfit and knew that this must be the Liaodong war god who was widely spread among the people.

But he curled his lips: "General Zhao Shen is so arrogant."

When Zhao Yu heard this, his eyes narrowed: "General Huang?"

"It's this general." Huang Degong smiled and said, "I am the general, you are the general. I come to see you, and you will just not leave the camp to welcome you, but you will have to take over my personal soldiers and weapons? What's the reason?"

Zhao Yu laughed, suddenly his smile subsided, and his eyes flashed: "General Huang guarded Fengyang with a heavy responsibility. He dared to leave Fengyang privately. According to the Ming Dynasty law, what is this crime?"

Huang Degong was stunned and couldn't help but look at Zhao Yu carefully: "Hey, you green-headed boy, have this scheming? I'm here, what do you think?"

Zhao Yu took two feet in one step without saying a word, and came to Huang Degong in a blink of an eye. He pinched his neck and stared at Huang Degong's eyes: "I want to kill you, like killing a chicken. Do you think you are more powerful than Huang Taiji?"

He threw Huang Degong on the ground and shouted: "I will fight against the thieves. Don't bother me like you. If you dare to disturb me, even if you hide in the ends of the world, I will kill you, and you will not be able to escape."

He kicked on the ground, and the rumbling rumbling was like an earthquake, collapsed.
