Chapter 114: Slaying Generals and Seizing the Stage (1)
.Dark Blade is the only woman in the army. With the ability of Dark Blade, it is no problem to go to the army to go to war. She is with the army as Zhang Chi’s guard, so of course she will have the opportunity to meet Zhao Qian.
Zhang Chi originally wanted to have a dark blade temper, but if she saw Zhao Qian, she would be furious, but as Zhang Chi expected, she did not make any special moves after the two met.
Didn’t Dan Blade recognize Zhao Qian as the general who commanded the troops last time? Zhang Chi became very surprised.
Since Dark Blade didn't know her, Zhang Chi wouldn't be so stupid that she told her. Pretend he didn't know, and ordered the troops to be sent north.
Outside Chengdu City, there are all fertile fields and no levels. They are all boundaries to Liangzhou.
When I left Chengdu, I walked on the plains and marched quickly. I kept traveling north and gradually arrived at the mountainous areas.
Bashan was once called "Liangshan", but it was not the Liang that was scattered on the Liangshan Mountain, but the Liangzhou. From the perspective of modern people, Bashan is the boundary mountain between Sichuan, Hubei and Shaanxi provinces. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this place was a must-pass place from the millions of Shu in Hanzhong. The mountains are high and the water is dangerous, and the strategic position is very important. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a must-fight for Sichuan and Shaanxi, and control the Central Plains. Attack can advance and retreat can be easily defended. It is a must-fight for military strategists in all dynasties.
The formation of the marching was arranged by Du Ximing, and Zhang Chi was just following the army. But then again, if he was asked to command and dispatch, wouldn’t he be in a mess of 70,000 or 80,000 troops be commanded by him?
In ancient times, it was different from modern marching and combat. In ancient times, marching and combat were entirely dependent on a capable general.
Where does this start? On the battlefield, ordinary soldiers will not have the awareness of the overall situation. They may not even know the map, and sometimes they may not even know the destination of the march. They just know whether to follow the orders, whether to rush, defend, advance, or retreat.
Therefore, the victory or defeat of the entire army is largely concentrated on the generals, which leads to the frequent death of generals. Even though the troops are many times more than the opponent, they can only escape when they are fleeing.
In the era of cold weapons, the role of generals was very obvious, so the ancients had the feeling that it was easy to get a thousand troops, but difficult to find a general.
Seeing that Du Ximing and Qin Bo were immediately dispatched well, Santong became envious. He followed Zhang Chi and said, "Brother Zhang, now that you have become the governor, you should also arrange a small official for me, so that I can also live up to the role of commanding troops and becoming a general."
Before Zhang Chi could speak, Daoxuan laughed first: "Come on, you just want to lead the army?"
Santong was angry: "What's wrong with me? I was also the leader of our copycat back then."
When Santong talked about his original copycat, Zhang Chi thought of the way to Huainan City with Daoxuan, and encountered Santong when he met Santong. He couldn't help laughing. Santong at that time was much funny than now. Everyone was together. Zhang Chi didn't notice it much, but now when he recalled that Santong had become much more stable.
"I don't know how the brothers in my village went to join the army now." Santong obviously remembered a lot of past events.
At the beginning, Santong met Zhang Chi for the first time near Yaoyisang Mountain, and then encountered the robbery of the Hu people. Santong almost died in front of the Hu people. Fortunately, Zhang Chi and Daoxuan helped each other and escaped. However, all the Hu people were killed and burned. The relatives of the brothers in the mountain village died at that time. Santong's brothers vowed to take revenge and went to the Northern Prefecture Army. I don't know how it is now.
Seeing Santong's expression was gloomy, Zhang Chi hurriedly comforted him and said, "I'll find an opportunity to command you as a general, so how can I help you become a general?"
When Santong heard this, her lonely expression began to fade away and she said happily: "Brother Zhang, what are you saying seriously?"
"Take it seriously, of course," Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Now I have appointed Hanxiang as the commander, commanding her 10,000 old subordinates who were originally in the Five Doks of Rice Road. If you are not promoted, wouldn't you be bullied by her in the future?"
After Zhang Chi said that, even Daoxuan laughed out loud. Santong quickly argued: "She bullies me, she has always listened to me."
Hanxiang was riding a horse not far away in front of her. Of course, she heard what Santong said, smiling, but not talking. As a man, he just gave him a lot of face, and she knew it, so Santong could brag among her friends.
Everyone laughed loudly when they heard Santong bragging, but Dark Blade didn't think there was anything ridiculous.
The dark blade was always by Zhang Chi's side. She was with Zhang Chi's guard, but she never spoke and never smiled at people. Zhang Chi even doubted whether he could not smile.
The march was boring, so everyone had some fun. Ding Yizhi smiled and said, "The territory of Liangzhou has always been a military tyrant. Now we have the opportunity to come here. Why don't we ask our brother to recite a poem for us? "
Everyone applauded, and Santong clapped her hands even more and shouted: "Yes, Brother Zhang's literary talent is what I admire the most. Let's have a song."
"I have never been to Liangzhou before, and suddenly I wrote some poems." Seeing that everyone was a little disappointed, Zhang Chi smiled and said, "But I know another person once wrote a poem that mentioned Liangzhou. You might as well read it to you."
"good!"
Zhang Chi cleared his throat, and what he read was Lu You's "Talking Love": "I searched for a title of marquis thousands of miles away. A horse was guarding Liangzhou. Where did the dream of Guanhe River break? The dust was dark and the old marten fur. Before Hu died, his temples were autumn before they were destroyed. Tears flowed in the empty space. Who would have thought that in this life, his heart was in Tianshan Mountains and his body was old in Cangzhou."
"What a good sentence to guard Liangzhou!" Ding Yizhi praised: "Poetry is a good poem, but why do the words vary in length?"
"This is not a poem, because it is to sing with the rhythm, so the length is different."
"Poetry is a good poem, but it's a bit sad." Since Santong followed Zhang Chi, she has no longer had the level of writing "Today's harvest is a big truck of food", and she can also hear the emotions in the poem: "Sad, sad, sad, is not suitable for your current situation, Brother Zhang. You are now leading the army and it's time to be full of energy."
The dark blade, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted and said, "Who is not sad before the Hu people are destroyed."
Zhang Chi was surprised that this Mutou actually spoke. When he looked back at her, he saw tears faintly shining in her eyes.
After getting to know each other for so long, when did you ever see Dark Blade crying? Zhang Chi always thought Dark Blade was carved from a piece of wood, neither happy nor angry, and always had a cold look. Now, when she saw her, she was crying in her eyes.
Seeing Zhang Chi looking over, Dan Bian quickly turned his head aside, lowered his head and said again: "The Hu people have not been destroyed."
Zhang Chi felt that the one who hated the Hu people the most was the Dark Blade.
As the army was walking, Zhang Chi suddenly felt that the front army stopped moving forward. Du Ximing, who was commanding the army, ran back quickly and came to Zhang Chi and said, "Young Master, I encountered a city gate ahead, which was under the command of Liangzhou. I refused to open the city and let it go."
"Just tell him that we are going north to beat the Hu people, right?" Santong thought simply.
Du Ximing smiled bitterly and said, "I have already told the whole story to the defenders in the city, but the people in the city said that they need to have the military order of the governor of Liangzhou before he can let it go. Otherwise, if they approach the city, they will shoot arrows."
"Let's go and have a look together." Zhang Chi said.
Why does this Liangzhou Governor always add a lot of resistance to himself?
It might be his actions to set fire to the inn. Now that I am sending troops, it would be fine if the governor of Liangzhou is not in trouble, why are he still setting up checkpoints on the road?
