Chapter 95 Light Rain (2)
【This is the second update to yesterday.】
For Han Zhong, if this situation continues, he will only be an insignificant member of the decisive battle between the Hebei Army and the Liao Army. Even if the Liao Army changes afterwards, it will definitely not be the kind he would expect when he was guarding the Baozhou Station.
He can only adopt another more active approach.
It is to shorten this dangerous thirty-mile marching distance as much as possible. The Xu River, located in the middle of this distance, became the key point. With thousands of Liao troops wandering on the south bank of Xu River, the speed of the marching north of the official army will inevitably be affected, and it can also issue early warnings to the Liao master at any time so that he can seize the powerful terrain first. As long as the Liao army can be driven across the Xu River and then send thousands of cavalry to patrol the river bank, the distance that Wang Hou has to be wary of is only a little over fifteen miles away.
But in other words, once the Song army defeated and drove out the Liao army south of Xuhe and repaired the road, in Yelu Yixin's eyes, this is a sign that the Song army is about to head north. At this time, Yelu Yixin can no longer guard outside Tianmen Village safely, either evacuate or take the initiative to attack.
Yesterday, Han Zhong lured the Liao army to attack, which was the first step in the plan. He hoped that the Liao army would take action, and Wang Hou continued to station in Baozhou.
Han Zhong's plan was very good, and the first step was successful. He saw the Liao army retreating back to the north bank of the Xu River as he wished. It was just that the matter had nothing to do with him. He could not take the situation into consideration and could not see through the reasons for the changes in the situation. This feeling was very bad.
Han Zhong fell into a long silence.
Chen Liu and Cen San exchanged a look and then waited quietly.
Although most of Han Zhong's plans were hidden in her own heart, Chen Liu and Cen San would not know nothing.
Although they didn't agree with Han Zhong's plan in private, no matter what, Han Zhong was the master they wanted to serve, and their futures of even their own family were all about Han Zhong. All they could do was to do was to do their best to promote Han Zhong's "enterprise spirit" and assist Han Zhong to achieve his goals. Apart from that, there was no other choice.
The sound from outside the door awakened Han Zhong from his meditation.
The sky was already bright and the castle was noisy. Shangshiqiao Fort, which was originally only a few dozen people, had first entered more than 400 reinforcements, and more than 500 came yesterday. Not only did they fill the original reserved location, they even had to build a floor in the open space in the castle.
The castle was small, and it was blocked by the way when the floor paving hit the ground. But the soldiers who were paving the other people's bedrooms and slept on the open air and the ground were already very unhappy. They felt even more uncomfortable when they got up and started to curse. Both sides were soldiers, and they would not give in, and they immediately started to quarrel. The companions of the two rushed over quickly, staring at each other like cockfighting, rolling up their sleeves and illuminating their fists, and refused to give in at all. There were even soldiers around them, watching the excitement.
Han Zhong happened to see it at this moment. He was displeased when he saw soldiers quarrel. Seeing that the situation was about to escalate and turned into a big chaos, Han Zhong said angrily, "What's the trouble? Where is Yan Hong?!" He said that, and then walked out. There was a dispute in the military camp. If no one was suppressed in time, it would probably turn into a big chaos and easily cause death.
As soon as Han Zhong finished speaking, a team of soldiers rushed out. Under the leadership of an officer, they rushed into the crowd in a few seconds, and in a blink of an eye, they took down the two people who were making trouble. The officers cooperated to gather their respective subordinates. After a while, the culprit of the quarrel was lifted to Han Zhong like a chicken and knelt down honestly.
Han Zhong didn't have time to pay attention to such trivial matters and waved his hand, "Yan Hong, you are a military judge, you can handle this matter according to the law."
Of course, a mere commander did not have the configuration of a military judge, and he only had a general level. However, in order to improve Han Zhong's status so that he could arrange the contributions according to the general level after the war, Wang Hou sent several officers to set up the shelf of the Baozhou Station camp. However, Han Zhong regarded these people as Wang Hou's eyes and ears, and did not pay much attention to it. He had to strengthen supervision when going out before giving Yan Hong out.
The upper and lower stone bridges guarding the Xuhe Bridge are all under the General Administration of Railways and are organized by the railway corps. The two commands assigned to assist in defense here are temporarily assigned to the Baozhou Railway Branch, and are also assigned by Han Zhong. Yan Hong, the military judge, was able to manage everyone on both sides.
Yan Hong is in his thirties and is not very old. He just looks serious on weekdays. He purses his lips tightly and pulls two extremely deep grooves on the corners of his lips.
Han Zhong threw the matter to him, and Yan Hong said sternly, "Since that's the case, these two people can be killed before the gate."
Not to mention the two parties involved, Han Zhong was shocked, "Why is it so heavy?!" He thought, just a few slap matters were only a dozen military sticks, and they could be kept in bed for a few days.
But Yan Hongsu was resistant to the voice, "Marching outside, not in the camp, the enemy surrounded the left and right, and according to the laws of the army, we should practice the important laws."
"Highly law?" Han Zhong questioned, "Which one of the fifty-four kills did they violate the seventeen bans?"
Yan Hong raised his eyelids, glanced at Han Zhong, and his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was sneering, as if he was disdainful, "Here, the law in the army is more than 17 forbidden and fifty-four beheads."
At this moment, one of the two soldiers was so scared that they were so weak that they spread to the ground. The other still had some strength and shouted out the wrongdoing.
Han Zhong was a little annoyed by Yan Hong's attitude, "Why don't you have to be that heavy? Just go clean the house. Sniff the stench for a few more days, remember not to have such a bad temper in the future."
Han Zhongyi made some noise, Yan Hong looked down upon, "Tiju has handed over the case to the lower officials just now."
Yan Hong refused to give in, and Han Zhong's face became even colder, "The big matters are returned to the court, and the small matters are determined by themselves. This is the law in the camp. After leaving the camp, it is all determined by the military general. Before, I handed over the case to the raise point, but if the raise point is wrong, I can only take it back..."
Yan Hongdao, "Since you say this, the official can only surrender."
After saying that, he left with a smile, Han Zhong snorted coldly, ignoring him at all.
The two soldiers survived and kowtowed repeatedly, treating Han Zhong as grateful as his parents.
Before, Han Zhong and Yan Hong were fighting each other, Chen Liu sighed secretly. At this time, as soon as Yan Hong left, he moved a few steps out and quietly went out. After going out, he saw Yan Hong walking in front of him and hurriedly chased him.
Han Zhong is still young and a child of the prime minister's family. He doesn't care much about the face of others when he offended others. When he offended others, Chen Liu had to come out to help smooth things out or make up for it later. These people were originally for Han Zhong to pick up the shortcomings, but in a more vulgar way, they were just for wiping their butts.
Although Yan Hong was out, Chen Liu chased after him and looked at his face, but there was no resentment.
Seeing Chen Liu catching up, Yan Hong chuckled and said without asking, "Since civil officials come to take military positions, they will probably find two people to kill and establish their authority first. I have served in the Hebei army for many years and have seen many of them, and they have always been sentenced to Chongli. I heard that this time, Mr. Li did this way in Daming Mansion. He was not a civil servant, and his noble family members who were in charge of the generals of the Han family would not take the life of the Han seriously. Those who can be killed or not are mostly killed and established authority. Although the prime minister is the son of the prime minister, he is kind-hearted. He is not a civil servant who treats our martial arts life like grass. Don't worry that I will resent. The superior has such kindness, which is the blessing of our subordinate officials."
Chen Liu was stunned for a moment. He thought he would hear Yan Hong's harsh words, but he didn't expect to hear such words.
After a moment of silence, he politely said to Yan Hong, "Thank you, the censor."
Yan Hong's personality is really unpleasant. But he did the evil man and made Han Zhong a good man. No matter what, he had to thank him for his efforts.
Yan Hong smiled, nodded, and left.
Chen Liu turned back and the two soldiers were gone. Seeing that Cen San was not there, he probably led the two of them to arrange for cleaning the pit.
Seeing Chen Liu come back, Han Zhong looked unhappy if he had known what he had done in private, "Brother Six, why should you comfort such a cruel and vicious person? After a few days, you will be dismissed from afar."
Chen Liu listened helplessly and whispered Yan Hong's words.
Han Zhong was stunned after hearing this. After a while, "As you said that, Yan Hong is kind?"
Chen Liudao, "No matter whether he is kind or not, he will always help you Erlang. Since he is willing to serve, it seems not good to let him down. People's hearts get and lose easily, I hope Erlang can tolerate him. Besides, Yan Hong has some talent."
When Han Zhong heard this, he pondered and said nothing. He had some prejudice against Yan Hong and always felt that he was not a good person. If he had taken it into him according to what Chen Liu said, he would be a little reluctant. Just as Cen San came back, Han Zhong left this matter and asked Cen San, "Brother, do you understand what's going on?"
Before, Han Zhong only saw the two arguing, and did not know the reason.
Cen San led the two of them to the toilet and asked by the way. As soon as Han Zhong asked, he said what he heard and finally said, "After all, one is sleeping in the room and the other is sleeping on the ground, which makes him feel unhappy."
Han Zhong sighed, "Don't worry about being weak but not being equal. The sage's words really make sense."
Cen San said, "I heard that the capital is also advocating the reduction of baggage. Not only do I need armor, but I also say I don't want tents. It's enough to bring a wool felt in the army. It's enough to wrap a wool felt in the sleeping place, and a raincoat is enough to put on a raincoat when it's raining."
Han Zhong sneered, "I heard that the people who sit in the yamen every day are hiding, and they have cars to sit on when they go far away. How could they know the pain below?"
It is normal to marching quickly and throw away the baggage. If you capture the fighter plane and march forward, you must have light equipment. But if you don’t even give a tent, Han Zhong thought it was normal.
At this time, Chen Liu looked at the time on the clock in the hall and reminded him, "Erlang, the time is almost done."
Han Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and his brows immediately frowned. Just because of the fact that he had delayed his business, he suddenly became even more irritable.
"It's the same today, and yesterday." He complained anxiously, "Why are there so many things?"
Since leaving the village, all kinds of troubles have emerged one after another, all trivial matters, but there is no time to live in peace.
Han Zhong was determined to make achievements and imitated his father's route as the priest at the age of thirty, but now he has to be distracted by the quarrel between two soldiers.
"Erlang." Chen Liu had seen Han Zhong agitated a lot in the past few days and advised calmly, "I heard from the old man in the mansion that my husband was assisting the father of Taiwei Wang at the beginning and did business for many days. Later, my husband also said that he had seen many favors in the world in those days and became the prime minister. When he was in power, he considered the policy of the country, but he was much more thorough."
Han Zhong has always regarded his father as an example and admired his father the most. He also heard similar things from his father's mouth. His mood calmed down a little.
