Night is a good thing.
Under the cover of night, some people steal chickens, some touch dogs, some get under the bed of their wife, and some get under the bed of other people's wives...
Yun Chao was different. He had a romantic night - the wind kept blowing and his nose kept running.
Fortunately, apart from the storm, nothing worse happened. Until the white fish belly appeared in the east, the camp was still safe.
That night, most people didn't sleep well.
Hundreds of people and hundreds of animals gather together, and it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of messy noises.
Some people snore, talk in their sleep, fart and grind their teeth.
There are hundreds of horses and mules, and maybe one of them will bark a few times, east or west, to sleep well.
The drivers have to feed them in the middle of the night. The horses have to be fed at night. They don't need to feed them at ordinary times. Now that they are away from home, they don't dare to lose their big treasures.
These days, a horse or a mule is almost all the property of an ordinary person. If something goes wrong, the whole family may be ruined.
Therefore, many coachmen sleep with half their eyes open, worried that something will happen to their babies.
Dozens of Yun Chao's men took turns keeping vigil at night, and sent out several rounds of whistles. If bandits were allowed to enter the camp, Yun Chao would probably consider changing the map.
As the sky gets brighter, the whole camp becomes lively.
Some go to the river to wash themselves, some go to the water to drink, some fetch water for cooking, some joke with each other, some mules and horses climb on the backs of other mules and horses...
Well, mules generally don't climb, and those things don't reproduce.
After struggling for a while, the convoy started to move. As the sound of rolling wheels gradually faded away, a large amount of garbage was left on the spot!
Even so, Yun Chao's team was still small. If tens of thousands of troops were to camp, it would be a disaster.
Even if there is no grass growing, few trees around the camp will survive, and the local crops will be completely destroyed. Even the fields will be trampled hard and must be plowed again.
As for the local people, it goes without saying.
If you don't escape in advance, any tragedy may happen.
Not only may food be unavailable, but women may not be able to get a good job, and even men may be dragged into becoming peasant husbands.
This is the origin of soldiers passing like grates.
The main reason why the Yue Family Army has been praised for thousands of years, besides its ability to fight, is that it will starve to death without grabbing food, and freeze to death without demolishing the house.
Being able to achieve such a great reputation without robbing food or demolishing houses shows the virtues of other armies.
There are many armies that are good at fighting. Why the Yue Army is unique is not because of its strict discipline and popular support.
Even Prime Minister Cao, who is regarded as an idol by many people, has committed tomb robbery and even used human flesh as military rations. This shows how dark the army in history is.
For five thousand years, under the might of heaven, an army that can barely disturb the people can be said to be rare.
The Yue family's army can be counted as one if they starve to death without grabbing food and freeze to death without demolishing their houses.
The strategy of the later generations has changed to 25,000 miles, and the team that claims not to take advantage of the masses is considered a team!
However, of these two teams, the first one failed, and only the second one won.
Yun Chao has a view of history that transcends the Great Wu Dynasty for thousands of years, and of course he knows the reasons for their failure and success.
We do not produce water, we are just porters of nature.
What Yunchao has to do now is to learn from that successful army, and he can stay on the right path without any innovation at all.
Of course, learning does not mean copying.
One era is different from another. If you cannot adapt to the times, places and people, and blindly copy the work, you will be imitating others!
…
After stumbling along the way again, Yun Chao finally saw Qingyang County until the moon was above the willow branches.
The city gate has been closed, Yun Chao did not enter the city, and people set up camp close to the moat.
It's not that Yun Chao can't open the city gate, it's his people who are guarding the city gate now. They can enter whenever they want.
The reason why he didn't go into the city was because Yun Chao didn't want to go into the city at all. He wanted to deliver his things to Wolong Village.
To put it bluntly, Wolong Village is Yunchao's base camp.
Yunchao's mass base in Wolong Village is far beyond that of Qingyang County.
What's more, the terrain of Wolong Village is good. There is Wolong Valley between Beishan and the village. If there is something that needs to be kept secret, it is best to put it at the foot of Beishan.
There are some things that Yun Chao doesn't want everyone to know, such as the blacksmith workshop where weapons are made, and some scientific research projects that are about to be launched.
Yun Chao did not enter the city, but the people in the city could come out.
Setting up camp tonight, everyone was treated much better than last night.
Not only did someone bring a lot of bedding, but they also got hot meals.
Several female chefs from the Lion House personally escorted the car and delivered a large amount of supplies.
Big buckets of pork stew, big white steamed buns, big buckets of white rice, big buckets of fresh fish soup...
Whether it was the new craftsman or the hired coachman, they were all shocked beyond measure when they saw so many good things.
They couldn't believe their eyes or their ears. Are these good things that they can't eat during the New Year just for themselves?
Oh my god, if all this is true, this trip will be really worth it!
The female chefs didn't care how shocked the others were, all their attention was on the gray-faced guy.
Well, that gray-headed guy is Yun Er.
Seeing Yun Chao's mess, Tian Xiao'e and the others were so distressed that they cried on the spot.
In the minds of these poor women, Yun Chao, who rescued them from dire straits, was simply a god wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, riding on colorful auspicious clouds.
Now seeing Yun Chao in such a state of embarrassment, they were so heartbroken that they were bleeding.
If they hadn't felt that their status was low and were afraid of humiliating Yun Chao, they would have thrown themselves into Yun Chao's arms for comfort... no, they would have comforted him.
For the first time, several women violated Yun Chao's words and insisted on letting him go to the city to rest.
Even if you don't rest in the city, you still have to go to the city to change clothes, take a shower, rub your back, get a massage, etc.
In the end, Yun Chao glared, and the girls reluctantly left.
Ninety-nine heads were kowtowed, but Yun Chao could not miss the last shiver.
If you don't share the joys and sorrows with others, why should others sacrifice their lives for you?
Seeing that Yun Chao, an official, refused to enter the city and enjoyed the blessings of so many beauties, he insisted on suffering with everyone, whether it was the new craftsman or the coachman of Dongping Mansion, almost everyone I was so moved.
How could there be such a stupid guy in the world... Ahem, how could there be such a good official? Why had I never heard of him before?
