Since his debut, Han You has never been so helpless.
Being helpless will not discourage you.
A group of professionals around him were equally helpless. This was the main reason for Han You's depression.
The situation in the Southland is too complicated. There are many aristocratic families, mountains, and bandits. It is no wonder that Zhou Tianfeng chose to operate in the Southland. It has many advantages compared to other places.
Now that Han You was in trouble, he was counting on Lao Duan, an old expert who looked like an academic but maybe not just an academic, to come up with a way to break the situation.
At least Lao Duan saw some of Zhou Xiao's true purpose, and the others could only follow him and run around, exhausted.
When they arrived at Zhizhou Mansion, Han You sat on the threshold and Wang Hai handed over warm tea.
The friends gathered together, obviously exhausted from the torment and unwilling to leave to rest.
In the first battle of Han You's debut, he became a complete laughing stock.
Not to mention other things, just being unable to rescue Zhixian will be a lifelong stain.
Holding the tea cup, Han You suddenly noticed Zhou Tong squatting under the Moon Gate and cursed: "Get away from me, don't appear in my sight in the future!"
Zhou was confused, but Feng Bai, who had been thinking about joining the T0 team recently, was beaming.
"What's wrong with me?" Zhou Tong looked at Han You, puzzled.
There is nothing puzzling about it. In later generations, Yin Zhiping defiled Xiao Longnu, which also caused Yi Jianlian to be hated by many people in China.
Zhou Tong and Zhou Xiao are brothers. Han You estimates that they look quite similar.
Xiang Lun, who was wearing official robes, sat next to Han You and sighed.
Han You continued to scold: "Go away and sigh!"
Xiang Lun: "..."
The friends dispersed in a hurry, fearing that Han You would be used as a punching bag.
"You have been living in Nanguan for so many years, the court has spent so much money, and Zhechong Mansion has supported so many people."
Han You turned his head and became angrier the more he looked at Xiang Lun: "Just look at the tunnel behind the palace. Zhou Xiao has been preparing for the rebellion for at least half a year. Your Southern Army, your Qiongzhou, and your various Zhechong Mansion, unexpectedly Haven’t you heard anything about it?”
Xiang Lun seemed hesitant to speak.
You know, why don't you know, after Zhou Xiao arrived in the fiefdom, he did say that he wanted to rebel all day long, but everyone thought that what he said was crazy, joking, and angry.
Besides, this guy is a prince or an eldest prince. If someone informs the court and the emperor of this matter in a very formal way, and finally finds out that Zhou Xiao has no objection at all, then the person who "reported" will be at least as bad as He was accused of instigating the Tian family.
"This Zhou Xiao is not an ordinary person. At first, I only knew that he was very good at training soldiers, and the armored heavy cavalry he trained was as brave as the white feather cavalry. Now it can be seen from the inside, and I know that he is even more proficient in the art of war."
"What the hell is Bai Yuqi?"
"Zhou Xiao's personal guard, the light-armored and sharp cavalry come and go like the wind, they are good at shooting, they are all marksmen with perfect shots, they are a bit better than the foreign cavalry outside Beiguan Pass, the heavy cavalry is trapped in the formation, and the feather cavalry roams to attack."
Xiang Lun observed Han You's face and said with a complex expression: "Using Yizhou as bait, pretending to attack the east and west, and then pretending to attack Qiongzhou, in fact, we are seizing the food and grass from Zhi County. I feel ashamed."
This is the truth. Xiang Lun was the deputy commander of Nanguan back then. He was good at charging into battle, good at internal affairs, and even better at guarding. But he was not good at this kind of whack-a-mole tactics, and he couldn't even chase him.
"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out."
Old Master Duan walked out of the Moon Gate holding a map, and Xiang Lun quickly stood up and bowed to salute.
Old Duan looked at the two of them, his gray brows almost twisted into bow ties: "There is one thing that I can't figure out. If I figure it out, everything can be solved."
Han You asked feebly: "What's the matter?"
"Why did Zhou Xiao want to massacre the family?"
Han You lowered his head again and continued drinking tea.
He also couldn't understand this matter. From the time he entered the city to Zhizhou Mansion, in addition to the two wealthy families of Chen and Sun, two more aristocratic families were taken over. One was the Zhu family and the other was the Wu family. They were both big families. Among these four families, There is nothing in common.
Let's talk about grabbing food. Those light cavalry came and went like the wind. They only grabbed the dry food they needed for zero yuan. They were not fighting to support the war. Most of the other food was left to the people.
It is said that Zhou Xiao was offended for something. Since this guy rebelled, he would retaliate with old and new grudges. It is not true. Except for the Chen family's caravan that went to Laizhou, the other three families have nothing to do with Zhou Xiao.
Old Duan sat at the stone table and muttered to himself: "The Chen family was dissatisfied when the caravan entered Laizhou and Zhou Xiao robbed some horses, but what happened to the Sun, Zhu and Wu families?"
Xiang Lun also couldn't figure it out: "The Sun family is the mine guard of Ming County, the Wu family has many caravans, selling cloth, furs and other goods, the Zhu family has inherited poetry and etiquette, and the thirteen Confucian scholars of the six generations in the South are all academic officials and scholars. First of all, these families have nothing to do with each other, and I don’t know where they offended Zhou Xiao.”
After saying that, Xiang Lun smiled bitterly and said: "When Zhou Xiao first arrived in the fiefdom, he was very fond of suppressing bandits and rarely achieved anything. At that time, many soldiers secretly laughed at the eldest prince, so he only had a wine bag and rice bag that he didn't know how to fight. Who knew he was I waited until I saw someone through the crack in the door."
"You all thought this guy couldn't fight before?"
"yes."
"Impressed."
Han You was upset and shouted several times outside the courtyard wall: "Dachuan'er, Dachuan'er, Dachuan'er, Dachuan'er, Dachuan'er!" "
Lu Baichuan hurriedly ran in: "What?"
"Didn't Zhou Xiao follow His Majesty in the East China Sea? Has this guy been on the battlefield?"
"I've been there before."
Lu Baichuan squatted in front of Han You: "He led a battalion by himself when he was seventeen years old."
"What camp?"
"Go to camp first."
Xiang Lun took a breath of cold air as soon as the words "Xiandenyingsan" came out.
Han You wanted to curse again.
In fact, the Xiandeng camp is not a "regular establishment" of the imperial court or the Ministry of War. Just like the Modao camp, the personal attendant camp, and the Zhanma camp, the commander-in-chief selects some people individually to form this special establishment.
When the former dynasty of Modao Camp was just opened, there was a fierce fighting force on foot. Later, the interior of the pass was unified, and all foreign enemies were outside the pass, so Modao Camp was gradually abolished.
The accompanying battalion is called "camp" and is not large in number. They are usually the bodyguards of the commander or general.
The Zhanma camp uses foot against horse, using heavy weapons such as mo knives, spears, and horse spears.
If you want to ask who is the most powerful among these special formations, it must be the first to enter the camp.
Climb first, be the first to climb the city wall, that is, the first batch of troops to attack the city.
There are two situations for entering the camp first. In the first situation, it is full of prisoners and criminals, just like a death squad. They are all going to die anyway, so it is better to fight. Once you win, you can be forgiven for your crimes.
There is another situation, that is, the elite, the elite among the elite.
Climbing first is also a term for military merit. The first person or the first group to climb the city wall in a war is called the merit of ascending first. If it is an important battle, the military merit of ascending first may even be awarded a title.
The four major military merits of the battle formation are beheading the general, capturing the flag, trapping the formation, and being the first to ascend. The first to ascend is the leader, which is the most, and has the highest military merit.
Xiang Lun grinned and asked, "Zhou Xiao was the first to set up camp in the East China Sea. How is his combat strength?"
"I haven't fought many times, mostly to suppress banditry and quell chaos. I have participated in more than ten battles, but each time I retreated halfway through the battle."
"What do you mean by retreating in the middle of a fight?"
"Once the city wall is taken down, retreat."
Xiang Lun: "..."
Han You couldn't help but ask: "Where is the record?"
"Attack first in every battle, and you will win every battle."
"So fierce!" Han You almost wanted to kick Lu Baichuan: "Why didn't you say it before?"
"At that time, he commanded the first camp, which was all infantry. After His Majesty ascended the throne, those infantry were dispersed to Zhechong Mansion in various parts of the East China Sea. Who would have thought that he would train so many elite soldiers in the Southland."
This time Han You understood clearly. It was not the fierceness of the first attack on the camp, nor the fierceness of the Zhou family's cavalry, but the fierceness of Zhou Xiao. This guy's strengths are not only training cavalry, he can train with or without horses. With actual combat experience, he has , the strategy is there, and the courage is even more.
Han You's anger level reached the sky: "I would rather be laughed at by the world for the rest of my life than show off. Send a letter to the court and send someone who can do a better job than Zhou Xiao to lead the army. Do you have anyone to recommend? I can do it 100% of the time." Caught Zhou Xiao."
"Yes, I have."
"who."
"His Majesty."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I will fuck you, believe it or not."
Lu Baichuan followed Han You's example and shrugged: "The only one left is your father."
A soldier suddenly ran in, looking extremely panicked.
"General, the general is not good. Something bad is going on. The Changyang and Liang counties in Nanguan raised their flags and rebelled against the government. They claimed to have 50,000 troops and captured Changyang City. The leader of the thieves is Guan Wen, the general of the Zhu Kingdom!"
"fart!"
Xiang Lunhuo suddenly stood up: "There are only so many soldiers and horses in Nanguan. The two Zhechong Prefectures in Changyang and Liang County plus the Military Preparation Prefecture. Even if they all rebel, they will only have 5,000 troops. How can there be 50,000 troops?"
Old Master Duan shook his head: "You can only know about ten thousand people, but the common people don't know."
