In the south of Haozhou City, dust is flying in a few miles.
Hey!Hey... Not far away, two big men in short streaks were carrying a thick wooden pound, shouting and ramming the earth rhythmically.
The strong man carrying the load gritted his teeth and walked quickly, while rubbing his sweat with the dirty cloth surrounding his neck.
The tent was open, and the Haozhou City Tower was looming in the distance filled with yellow dust.
Guo Shao was standing in front of a wooden frame, drawing with a brush!
The drawing was really ugly, but he seemed to be very serious, asking the scouts in detail while adding lines to the paper.
He was drawing a very thick-trough city diagram.
At this time, several more military generals made a fortune. He finally threw his brush into the inkstone and turned around and said: To build six camps, each of which requires double-layer defense. Around the surrounding area, secret whistles must be installed and a cavalry must be sent out.
Look.
Guo Shao said again: We just arrived in Shouzhou and our troops were only 20,000.Neither siege or attack the city, occupy the place first, beware of enemy soldiers' sneak attacks.
A general reported: There was a sank land in the northwest of the city, and thousands of Tang soldiers refused to guard it. Not only did they build fences and fortifications, but they also dug up the Huai River and built a moat!There is a water village in the north of the city, with more than 200 warships gathered.
Another general reported: Hundreds of Tang army warships were found in downstream Sizhou.
Send people to monitor it from all sides and ignore it for the time being.Guo Shao immediately ordered.
After a while, a military general was brought into the tent by several personal soldiers. The general held his fists and saluted: The last general Qi Shuang, the military academy of the right wing, was ordered by Gao Huaide, the commander of the commander of the Xiangdu, to come to see Marshal Guo.
Guo Shao immediately smiled kindly, asked Gao Huaide's condition first, and even asked him if he was in good health. He was just as concerned as an old friend... They were all led by Xiang Xun and Zhao Kuangyin!
Guo Shao didn't get along much with these two people, but he learned a lot from their words and deeds; especially Zhao Kuangyin, who was considered an opponent by Guo Shao in his heart, did not prevent him from learning from his opponent.
But the capital school Qi Shuang was not here to contact the generals. He quickly talked about the main affairs: When General Li Jixun was appointed as the right wing, he was defeated in the southwest of Tushan, and the last general personally led his troops to participate in the battle.First, General Li heard that Shouzhou City was broken, so he was eager to attack, and then he was trapped in an ambush. When the defeated army returned to the Zhou army camp, the food and grass were burned by surprise.The last general thought that Chai Kehong had long expected General Li's movements and was well prepared.
Guo Shao nodded, picked up a pen from the inkstone, and wrote in a broken booklet: Insight into the opponent's intentions, predict the enemy's initiatives, make good use of strategies, and be good at capturing the opponent's general's psychology.
You continue.
Qi Gu said: Our army was defeated and was ambushed.At that time, the troops advanced rapidly and did not check the traps under their feet and around them at all. Suddenly, the smoke of gunpowder filled the smoke and the soldiers separated.In panic, he encountered several elite soldiers in Chai Kehong as the leader, so he was defeated.Later I saw that they were just a few elite troops, and the others were chasing them in chaos. The team was not very powerful.We were just caught off guard!
Guo Shao wrote and painted the booklet again, and recorded the matter roughly and his own opinions.Then hand it over to the generals such as Zuo You, Yang Biao and others for inspection.
All the generals thought Guo Shao’s words were reasonable.Li Chuyun said: Chai Kehong is smart and good at using clever tricks. He only relies on one person's wisdom, but is not good at controlling too many people.
Guo Shao and others discussed it for a while, then asked with a smile: What do you think I have strengths and weaknesses?
Yang Biao said: Brother, you are good at seizing the fighter and hitting it with one blow!
Zuo You pondered: Take over the righteousness and boost morale.I think it is very good for the lord to propose to end the civil war and fight for the people of the world.The ancients said that using the kingly way to defeat unrighteousness is this way.
Wang Zhang laughed and said: I'm not about Marshal Guo.Li Chongjin said everywhere that Coach Guo was kind and ruthless and could not lead troops.I really think that my lord is sometimes too kind... Just like when he captured Shouzhou City, I'm afraid that he can't massacre the city, you, Marshal Guo...
Li Chuyun said: The most important thing is that our Great Zhou army is obviously more brave and good at fighting than the Southern Tang soldiers.
I'll talk about myself.Guo Shao said.
Everyone calmed down and listened attentively.
Unexpectedly, Guo Shao just said calmly: I am good at shooting archery.
Haha... Everyone was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
Guo Shao did not leave Qi Shuang, the military general in the right wing, and sent someone to send him away.The generals also dispersed and went to stare at their camps to build.
Haozhou City has not been surrounded, and there are a large number of Southern Tang troops outside the city and on the river. Guo Shao has not been looking around for the time being.He stayed honestly in the Central Military Camp, thinking about Chai Kehong and other things.
His fingers gently knocked on the chopping board a few times, thinking to himself: I just said that Chai Kehong was not good at controlling most of his troops, and he didn't seem to be very good at it.
Although Guo Shao is currently the chief of the Infantry Army, he actually controls only the left wing of the Hujie Army, with only about 20,000 troops, but the spread range is no longer within sight.
Guo Shao said he had no idea how the generals of this era controlled their subordinates... Maybe only a general like Gao Huaide knew that his father would teach his son various skills; but the general would definitely not have the time to teach outsiders step by step.
If you want to do well in all walks of life, you have some skills and insights, and you need to rely on the experience of your predecessors and your own experience.No matter how talented a person is, he will do something when he is not born.
Guo Shao thought about it and decided to think of a way to change the status quo.Use commanders and military orders to establish a simple command system as an attempt.
… (Guo Shao found someone to carve eighty-eight wooden seals, and then selected hundreds of soldiers who were eliminated by the elite regular army from the lower camp to form a commander.
These soldiers were equivalent to those who were stationed in the military farm. They usually had no military pay. After being told that they were formally organized by the Hujie Army, and they were treated the same as the soldiers of the various army. There were many people willing to join.
However, Guo Shao personally led his generals to review these soldiers, not requiring them to be brave and strong. As long as they are smart, they can say a few words and let them retell them, as long as they immediately make the general idea clear, they will be qualified.
Then each person issued three order flags and inserted them on his back to distinguish the combat soldiers.
After preparations were made, Guo Shao summoned dozens of generals in the left wing to the Central Army to discuss matters.First take down the wooden seal and let them see it. There are two kinds of seals in total.
The first type is twelve, each of which is six military generals and the central army, with only one character on each. Zhong, courage, martial arts, faith, righteousness, and victory are sent to the military chief.
The second type of thirty-eight pieces were issued to the commander, with two words engraved on it, such as Zhongjia, Zhongyi, Zhongbing and so on.
Guo Shao said: On the eve of every battle, he will draw lots.You will be able to capture any piece. You must not disclose your seal or ask others for help.If you encounter an emergency outbreak and do not have time to draw lots, the word you caught last time is based on.
All departments must stamp their seals when reporting military information and the central army issued military orders.If the word does not match, the military order is invalid and you can ignore it.
Of course, the first character of the commander, loyalty, bravery, and loyalty, may be different from the character of the military chief after drawing lots.Remember how many military newspapers were posted that day, and write numbers every time to prevent military orders and military newspapers from being lost halfway.
Guo Shao appointed Zuo You as the marching counselor on the spot, responsible for writing and receiving military orders; he also ordered Qin Shitou as the commander of the messenger, responsible for commanding the messenger, and organized dozens of people under him into the messenger team to feed military pay; Luo Mengzi still led 300 personal soldiers.
Qin Shitou was the old soldier who led his troops to escape when he was attacking Shouzhou and was almost ordered to be rectified by Li Chongjin; later Guo Shao pleaded for mercy and survived... He made a brave contribution when siege the city, and half of the people survived were exempted from being punished.
His son was originally Dutou, but he was burned to death by hot turbulent oil. Qin Shitou was directly appointed by Guo Shao as Dutou in the lower camp. Later, he had been following Guo Shao and was loyal, so Guo Shao now trusted him very much.
It is said that after screening and eliminating the Iron Cavalry, they were all brave men.However, some of the people Guo Shao was going to eliminate were reorganized into the imperial guard system, and he didn't seem to care about who they were.
No matter what, even the soldiers eliminated by the imperial guards are more useful than those of the 70-80-year-old men in Wuqi Town.Therefore, Guo Shao did not dislike him at all and would take him away as long as he was a soldier.)
...Guo Shao took out a batch of flags embroidered with tiger patterns that he brought to the show last time, and asked people to embroider the numbers of each army, and then sent them to everyone for use.
There were tiger flags floating everywhere in several camps built for a while. Although it was a bit inconsistent, it was still domineering. It seemed that the tiger had become the symbol of the Hujie Army... The Hujie Army had nothing to do with the Hujie Army, because it was not called the Hujie Army before, but the name was changed after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty; just like the Iron Cavalry Army used to be called Xiaodi Army, it was just a change of name, and the people were still the same people.
Not long after, Gao Huaide led his right wing to Haozhou.
Gao Huaide found that Guo Shao had to repair the camp and fortifications. He was very easy to deal with and directly stationed the army into the built camp.
Tens of thousands of people, soldiers from Shouzhou arrived in Haozhou one after another. For a time, more and more people outside Haozhou were coming.Guo Shao ordered the construction of two siege fortifications.
The Tang army did not move, and the Zhou army did not move. The soldiers worked all day long and prepared various equipment.
In mid-October, the emperor led elite troops from the inner palace, east and west squads, and the Crane Control Army to visit Haozhou.When he found a Tang army stationed on the northwest river beach, he immediately ordered Qi Tingyi, the commander of the East and West squads, to attack the Tang army.
Qi Tingyi was called Qi Tuo. He really rode the camel and rushed across the moat outside the Southern Tang Army fortifications. Then the troops blocked the killings, defeated the fortifications outside the Southern Tang City, and captured 3,000 people.
Chai Rong was overjoyed and promoted Qi Tuo to the Zuoxiang Capital School of the Hujie Army to fill the vacancy in the Zuoxiang Capital School.
Guo Shao was once the Zuoxiang Metropolitan College, and later Jianjie was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Infantry Division. It turned out that the position had been vacant, but this time Qi Tuo sat on it.The emperor's personal order was incapable of disobeying.
