Unexpectedly, this early spring ice rain will last for seven or eight days.It is intermittent, but the mud on the road has never dried.
It turned out that the Han King's Central Army expected that he would take the rest of the road and reach Guizhou City in six or seven days; but until the eighth day of the first lunar month, Liu Ying's troops were still nearly a hundred miles away from Guizhou.
In the afternoon of the same day, the army requisitioned a village, and the troops set up camp around.
All the houses and eaves in the village were crowded with people, but only a small number of people could live in.
Everyone was covered in mud and exhausted. They built grass and wood sheds and tart tents on the camp, but finally stopped.
After Liu Ying inspected the camps of various troops, although he could see the fatigue of the soldiers, he believed that the morale of the Han Wang Army was still good at this time, and that the brothers could continue to endure it for a while without encountering enemy attacks.
It was the seventh day after he parted with the King of Han, and then he realized and thought carefully about what the King of Han said to him.
In those words, Liu Ying understood the principles of not being greedy for merit or taking into account the overall situation. The King of Han once again said it was just an emphasis on strategy.
After victory, Liu Ying could roughly guess that he was granted a title of Duke. After all, the punishment of the heavens and the killing of traitors were just a remark. The King of Han was fighting for the throne... The King of Han did not compete for the throne, and everyone was not willing!
If the King of Han became the emperor, it would be impossible for his direct military generals to be granted no reward.
For some reason, it was the childhood news mentioned by the King of Han at the beginning that could not be removed in Liu Ying's mind.That was the words of the King of Han was very happy to go to his uncle's house when he was a child.
Gradually, Liu Ying also recalled some things from his childhood.
Back then, Liu Ying rarely went to her uncle's house, but instead often went to her aunt's house.My aunt married an official from a hundred households, and the one with a hundred households is only more than ten miles away from Liu Ying's family, perhaps twenty miles away, and I can't remember it clearly.
His aunt has a son who is several years older than Liu Ying, and is his cousin.Liu Ying went to her aunt's house to play and often slept in the same bed with her cousin...
When Liu Ying thought of this, she felt her face hot and she reached out to rub her cheeks.
Until now, he doesn't know whether the cousin has a quirk of liking boys or whether Liu Ying looked like a girl when she was a child.
However, Liu Ying thinks he doesn't have this hobby because he likes beautiful women now.
When he thought of what his cousin had done to him, he felt very humiliated and angry; he also had a certain sense of fear!
Because he occasionally had a curious idea and wanted to try it again!
But this kind of thing hurts the face of a real man who he has always cared about, so every time he has such thoughts, he feels very scared.
Liu Ying is a person who cares very much about self-esteem and face.
When he was a child, he looked like a woman, and many people thought he was easy to bully and always teased him. At that time, Liu Ying would be very fierce, indicating that although he looked like a mother, he had a brave heart!
However, although he never wanted to admit it, he could not deceive himself. He was a person who was strong outside and did the middle.
When he was a child, he fought and when he grew up, he was very scared every time and was a very cautious person in secret.
Therefore, he was even more afraid that his brothers, especially his subordinates, would see through him. His words and deeds were deliberately showing his radical, brave and fearless side.Even the King of Han believed that he was such a person.
Liu Ying scratched her head and heard a voice saying: Governor Liu!Meet Governor Liu!
He came to his senses and saw a group of soldiers in front of him coming out of the straw hut and saluting here.
Relieve gifts.Liu Ying held his head up and looked majestic and angry, but asked in a more polite manner, brothers, can he still hold on to the march tomorrow?
A young general clasped his fists and said: Go back to Governor Liu, this bad road is just tiring when walking, and there is no problem!
Liu Ying nodded with satisfaction, what's your name?
The young general said: The last general is Yin Desheng, the guard of Yunnan, the hundred households.
Liu Ying looked back and said: Brothers like Yin Baihu, who are not afraid of hardships, are the mainstays of the army. Yin Baihu worked hard to kill the enemy and made contributions. I will ask for merit and promotion for you.
Governor Liu decided to forget the last general... Yin Deshengdao, In the battle of peace, the last general was almost sentenced to death by Governor Liu. Fortunately, you have shown mercy.
Liu Ying was stunned for a moment and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a person. The guy who ran away first in the Nanhukou battlefield and in the battle was you?!
Yin Desheng hurriedly said: Governor Liu clearly understands that it is really not a fault for the last general, otherwise you would not show mercy!Most of the people under the last general were supplemented by the military. They only know how to farm and do nothing. They have never been to the battlefield and they collapsed when they go up...
Liu Ying felt very embarrassed. He praised this guy just now, but he mentioned that messy matter!
Now you are still those people under your command?Liu Ying asked.
Yin Desheng said: Many soldiers have been replaced.In the battle of peace, the last general's Hundred Houses team was first defeated, and was asked by General Qian to make up for his merits and lead his brothers to the forefront, with more than half of the casualties.Later, when I arrived in Chengdu City, I went up to the peak to replenish many Sichuan military households for the last general. These brothers were better than before, but they were not easy to understand.
Military law is ruthless and rewards are moderate!Hello, please do it yourself!Liu Ying said.Then he immediately left here and went to patrol somewhere else.
...Yin Desheng stood in the mud with his fists. When the generals left, he straightened his waist and looked at the general's back as if he was thinking.
I can not only farm, but also make irons.A voice said.
Yin Desheng turned his head and saw a man half a head taller than Yin Desheng and three thicker than Liu Dagen standing behind him.
Everyone in the Hundred Houses team called him an old blacksmith. Liu Dagen was not old, but he was very young, but he was too old and had a beard like a middle-aged man.
Why don’t you tell the silly?It's also easy to recognize a relative.Yin Desheng said angrily.
Liu Dagen said seriously: There are too many people in the world with their surnames Liu, and Governor Liu is afraid that he will not recognize me.
The soldiers around him laughed.
Yin Desheng cursed again, Liu Dagen had iron lumps in his head, returned to the wet straw shed, and lay straight on the thatch on the ground.
This time, although Yin Desheng's right-sweeping troops followed Governor Liu in march, they did not fight with Liu Ying.After they arrived in Guizhou, they stopped moving forward and were waiting there to prepare to attack the city!
So Yin Desheng is still quite honest. He did not lie in front of the general. He really didn't think that there was anything wrong with trekking in the mud for a few days... Compared with the horror scenes in Annan Duobang City, it is indeed not a big deal.
It was still very bright outside, but the low straw shed that was built casually was very dark.Yin Desheng walked in the mud all day, but couldn't stand the tiredness and fell asleep.
I don’t know how long it took, someone called him in dialect: Yin Baihu, I’m 'bullying'!
Yin Desheng suddenly woke up, feeling his chest as big as thunder.He responded and walked out a little confusedly. The Sichuan military household next to him asked again: Are you having a nightmare?
Yin Desheng nodded, and then he felt the chill in early spring, his whole body was chilling, but his head was covered in sweat.
The sky outside was gradually dimming, and fires everywhere were burning, and fires were everywhere.
Yin Desheng couldn't remember most of the scene in his dream, but there were still mountains of corpses in his mind, full of arrows and guns, and screams from his broken limbs and arms.
The veteran Liu Dahan, who came out of Yunnan, died in the battlefield of Taiping. However, in Yin Desheng's heart, Old Man Liu has a good destination, with a coffin and a grave... Those brothers who died in Duobang City were piled up together, just like they were slaughtered.
Siege the city, this time it’s another attack!
...The next morning, the weather finally cleared.
Liu Ying's troops set up camp early in the morning. The army walked on the official road for nearly half an hour, and the sun in the east slowly rose.
The sky is clear after the rain, the air is fresh, and the green mountains between the world look clearer.
Only then did Yin Desheng see that new buds had sprouted on the treetops on the roadside. Although the weather was still very cold, the breath of spring had arrived unconsciously.
As soon as the sun shines, the roads are completely dried in the afternoon, and the army's marching speed begins to accelerate.
On the morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month, the front army units walked around Guishan along the official road at the foot of Guishan; soon after, Guizhou City appeared in people's sight.
Guizhou City is located south of Guishan (between Wudang District and Dongfeng Town), so Guizhou's name also comes from this mountain.
The vanguard had already chosen the camping location, and everyone continued to walk eastward and circled several miles away from the north of Guizhou City. The troops marched in a row, but did not encounter any attack from the defenders out of the city. Perhaps because Liu Ying's troops had far more troops than the defenders in Guizhou City.
The right post where Yin Desheng is located must be stationed on both sides of the main road into Huguang Road in the east to eliminate the threat from Guizhou defenders to the main force of Liu Ying's army... Yin Desheng was born to be hereditary to the 100 households and knew the importance of marching and camping; but he was not lucky, and most of the generals rose to prominence, and he was still a hundred households.
Yin Desheng now has an inexplicable fear of the city wall, but he can't help but keep watching the city wall in Guizhou.
Seeing that Guizhou City is not as small as the mainland, it is not small, and the length of the four walls may be nearly ten miles!
There is probably a stone inlay under the city wall that is ten feet tall, with an earthen wall above it. From a distance, it looks like a castle built on stone, looking very strong!
Everyone arrived at the camp before noon. The surrounding area was small and the view was relatively wide, so it was difficult to be attacked.
Yin Desheng's men joined the Thousand Corps and continued to build camps on a hillside; the vanguard and the baggage soldiers had already dug trenches, and everyone would then build earth walls and fences, build tents and camps.
The main force of Liu Ying's army took a short rest on the road and continued to walk east after dinner.
Yin Desheng was on the hillside next to the official road, watching the queues and endless crowds of people on the road.
Liu Dagen's voice said again: How far have we walked?My feet were full of soaking, so he finally didn't have to leave!
Yin Desheng turned his head and looked at him, saying: I think you will say, "I would rather walk for a few more days."
It turned out that the Han King's Central Army expected that he would take the rest of the road and reach Guizhou City in six or seven days; but until the eighth day of the first lunar month, Liu Ying's troops were still nearly a hundred miles away from Guizhou.
