Some people talk a lot but do little.
Some people talk less and do more.
There are also people, like Han You, who do a lot of things and talk just as much.
As is the old habit, first inform the boss, Lao Ba, that the letter was written today. When you receive it is up to you personally. Anyway, I will report it to you.
Laizhou is finally here.
The tents were connected together, a little messy, and almost lined up, and Daizhou was surrounded by water.
As the temporary general of the army, Xiang Lun not only had two brushes, but also a lot of hair on them.
Each road has Zichongfu, military preparations, and garrison guards. The number of Fu soldiers plus Fu soldiers is about 20,000.
When Han You arrived at the Yizhou encirclement, he sat on his horse and watched for nearly a quarter of an hour.
What he thought was a siege was the sun shining through the thick war clouds. There was blood and fire everywhere, and the figures of the generals moving across the battlefield were blurred.
In fact, the sun was just right, and the warmth of early spring kept the bodies of the soldiers warm. They were sleepy in spring, autumn, and summer. As if they were traveling, the soldiers lay in the military tents and yawned again and again.
He thought that the battlefield was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, with flesh and blood flying everywhere and dead bodies everywhere.
In fact, the battlefield was as peaceful as a leisurely Sunday.
He thought the horses were galloping, the cavalrymen were rushing towards the city wall fearlessly, and the ground was shaking.
In fact, there were not many war horses in the connected camps, and no stables were built.
He thought that the soldiers were shooting bows and arrows at the enemy troops on the city wall, and the swordsmen and shield-bearers were holding up the rain of arrows shot down from the city wall, and the arrows were like locusts crossing the border.
In fact, there is not so much "he thought" at all.
After Xiang Lun arrived, he immediately surrounded the city, and then "settled" the people who came out of the city.
When these people from Yizhou came out, the boss was not happy. He cursed and told the soldiers to be careful when they started fighting. If they won the battle and rushed into the city, don't touch their houses. If they lost an egg, they would be killed by this group of soldiers. Wu fights for his life.
There were not enough tents in the first place, but the extra 50,000 civilians were undoubtedly a waste of time. They were just waiting to eat military rations as if they were asking for a buffet.
Zhou Xiaobao was also bad at this. When he let the people out of the city, he told them that it would be best to starve them twice before leaving the city. The court was all hypocritical and just pretending to be fat, so they would definitely not starve.
Xiang Lun was furious. This was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing after fighting for so many years. He didn't shoot an arrow and just settled the people.
Identity verification is also required. Not only is it difficult to manage so many people, just screening carefully will consume a lot of manpower.
There were few government soldiers and many auxiliary soldiers. It looked like a siege, but the result was just like living in Lai. Xiang Lun also arranged the government soldiers to guard the food and grass posts, fearing that the people would eat too much.
Just because Zhou Xiao released the people in Yizhou City, this incident alone made Xiang Lun, a veteran of the frontier army, very anxious.
Han You did not go to Xiang Lun immediately, but first took his friends to inspect the camp.
Fortunately, although the camp looked chaotic, there was also a lot of noise inside. At least the Zhechongfu troops from all over the place looked prepared. If there was a real fight, they would still have to watch.
The tents in the Zhechongfu military camp were lined up, and flags were flying in the wind.
Looking at Tunbingwei's tent, it looks like a chessboard kicked over by an old man who can't afford to play. They are facing a bunch of rubbish.
The auxiliary soldiers of the Tunbing Guard are all under the control of the Military Preparation Office. Strictly speaking, these auxiliary soldiers are not a real army. They can go into battle regardless of whether they go into battle.
They don't usually practice, and they don't receive military pay from the court. They receive "food pay" from various government offices. They play the role of regular security guards, but they are better than security guards. It can be said that they are the most capable of fighting among security guards. Real military personnel They are also the most useless among the troops. They are responsible for logistics and transportation during wartime. Unless they are at a critical moment, they will not be let in.
They make up the numbers in good times, do logistics in bad times, and serve as cannon fodder in desperate times. That's what they are talking about.
There was nothing to inspect. Han You asked Yu Shaoyong. Xiang Lun set up his big tent in the south of Yizhou City. The former deputy commander of the Southern Army also had a keen sense of smell and believed that there was likely to be a problem outside the pass. Zhou Xiao If you want to run, run to the south.
Walking towards the south tent, what they saw and heard on the way made the friends including Han You frown.
Before the fight even started, Zhou Xiao already had the upper hand.
Just these 60,000 people are not insignificant.
There have been so many battles and so many rebellions recorded in the history books, but no one has ever said that the people were "given" to the other side.
With so many young men helping to defend the city, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, so Zhou Xiao did the opposite and did the opposite.
More than 60,000 common people can be regarded as more than 60,000 civilian husbands.
Zhou Xiao was a rebellious rebel who did not harm the people, but instead released them. So would the government and army be willing to let these people become civilians to help them with logistics or siege the city?
I'm sorry, but let's not talk about it. If you do this, the people may run back to the city and help Zhou Xiao rebel.
But these common people are not allowed to be civilians and help fight the war. If they don't leave, it doesn't matter if they don't leave. They can eat the thieves and continue to consume the limited supplies of the officers and soldiers.
Arriving outside the big tent, Han You shook his head again, "chaos," and it was more than just a garbled word.
The military camps are connected together, almost surrounding Yizhou. Although there are gaps, they can help each other. However, a large number of civilians shuttle through them, more than the army. Just controlling these civilians requires a lot of manpower.
The more Han You looked at it, the more something was wrong. These people who came out of Laizhou were not like ordinary people. It didn't mean that they were not ordinary people, but they were too "crazy". This kind of madness should not appear in ordinary people.
He curses, idles around, doesn't obey anyone, and sneers at everyone he sees.
"Are the folk customs in Yizhou so tough?"
Han You asked, but the friends didn't speak, but Zhao Xiong looked like he was hesitant to speak.
The person who knows Yizhou best is definitely Zhao Xiong.
This old guy wants to say that it's not that the people of Yizhou are tough, but that the prince of Yizhou is tough.
Yu Shaoyong ran into the tent to report, and Han You didn't need anyone to pick him up and walked straight in with his people.
Xiang Lun, who was wearing armor, had a bitter look on his face. When he saw Han You coming, he started to complain.
"People, people, people, people, these people in Yizhou are like unruly people, which really gives me a headache."
"Brother, how did you become the general who leads the army?"
Even though he was a layman, Han You couldn't help it: "Hurry up and fight. The more we ink, the more things will happen. The food and grass shipped from Qiongzhou are not enough for these people to show off."
"You think I want to, I..."
Xiang Lun paused and smiled: "I am a civil servant. How can a civil servant command the army? Since General Han is here, the general must take over."
"I'm not prepared to let you do it all the time."
Han You rolled his eyes, stepped forward and asked for the military talisman from Xiang Lun, then threw it to Fu Yuxiang: "Xiaoyu, you are responsible."
As if catching a piece of red-hot iron, the fish elephant was thrown directly to Lu Baichuan.
Lu Baichuan was not stupid. He didn't pick it up at all and let the soldier talisman fall to the ground.
Zhou Tong also pretended not to see anything, looking at the roof of the tent with his left eye and his toes with his right eye.
Han You's pupils shrank suddenly: "Is it so serious?"
Lu Baichuan, Fu Yuxiang, and Zhou Tong nodded at the same time, nodding like chickens pecking at rice.
"A bunch of losers." The angry Jiang Zhui bent down to pick it up, with a proud look on his face: "Commander An Xin, I will make a fool of myself then."
