Chapter 77: The Great Army Expedition
Two months later, in Wuguan City, above the school grounds, swords and guns were like snow and flags were like clouds.
This day was September 12, 2018, the fourth year of Chuping, the autumn was clear and the clouds were light and the wind was light. It was auspicious day for the eclipse. Liu He gathered more than 60,000 troops under his command, including the 10,000 Jingzhou Army sent by Liu Biao, the 15,000 cavalry under Liu He, and 35,000 infantry. In addition, Wenpin, Li Tong, Chen Dao, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Yu Jin and other military generals, Guo Jia, Xun You, Xu Shu, Liu Ye, Cui Jun, Wang Can and other advisers were strong, with strong soldiers and horses gathering.
The soldiers of the three armies were all arranged in neatly, and even a needle fell to the ground could be heard in silence on the school ground. Liu He stood on the stage and presided over the oath ceremony.
"The soldiers, as the saying goes, "They have many helpers, but the losers have few helpers. The rebel thieves Li Jue, Guo Si and others were the remaining troops of the thief Dong Zhuo. The Dong thief was destroyed. Li Jue and Guo Si Rat should have changed their past mistakes and abandoned all the old evils. However, the two thieves not only repent to evil, but instead became more and more serious. They actually led their troops to Chang'an, hostage the emperor, bullied all officials, and appointed local governors at will, and also sold official positions and titles, which made people hate them. I am now following the emperor's edict, joining the emperor's orders to fight against the thieves. I am determined to welcome the emperor in Jingqingyu, rebuild the power of our great Han, and make the world peaceful and peaceful. I hope that the soldiers will work together to fight the enemy bravely. Anyone who makes meritorious contributions will be rewarded, and those who violate the discipline will be severely punished!"
Liu He said something above, and hundreds of loud military men standing in the front row repeated loudly. In fact, there is no way not to do this. After all, this is a gathering of tens of thousands of people. It is simply unrealistic to shout and let everyone hear it at the same time.
In fact, not to mention tens of thousands of people, even if thousands gather together, it is difficult for everyone to hear the words of one person. Therefore, at that time, only a few people in the front row could hear the oath. If it is really necessary for everyone to know, there are two options. One is to send the messengers to shout in unison like Liu He, and then after the oath, the words said by the commander of the grassroots officers and generals were repeated to the soldiers.
This time, in order to infect soldiers and boost morale, Liu He chose to let the soldiers hear his speech on the spot, so he adopted this method.
After that, Liu He ordered Wang Can to read the manifesto written by Wang Can himself to attack Li Jue and Guo Si, and still adopted the previous method. In fact, even hundreds of soldiers shouted together, many soldiers could not understand the meaning of the manifesto because they were illiterate. However, due to Wang Can's special "poetry" movement, the soldiers could clearly understand the meaning of the manifesto. After hearing the manifesto, they felt excited and wanted to go to the battlefield now, kill the traitors, and establish great achievements. Therefore, their morale increased again. In the end, they shouted together, and the roars shook the sky, and the violent murderous intent made people feel scared.
All the soldiers under his command had never experienced Liu He's oath, and Wen Pin sent from Jingzhou was unheard of. Even he, who had always been calm, felt the blood flowing in his body, wishing he could kill the thief and make achievements, and was famous in history.
"There is such a vow in this world. My Wenpin is quite aware of it. No wonder I was defeated by Liu Envoy. Now it seems that it is not unfair. Alas, Wang Can was originally not favored by the lord's lord, but he didn't expect the manifesto he wrote to motivate emotions and inspire the military. Therefore, people should not behave like a person by appearance. They simply judge people by appearance, and let the lord lose an excellent talent for nothing. I don't know if the lord will regret it after he knows it?"
Seeing those soldiers in Liu He's army who were burned by passion, Wen Pin couldn't help but feel emotion. On the one hand, he was moved by Liu He's eyes, able to identify talents, and to make full use of his talents. On the other hand, he also felt that his lord judged people by his appearance and had short-sighted eyes and could not retain talented people.
Because of this, in Wen Pin's life, he felt a little regretful for the first time because he chose Liu Biao.
"How great would it be if I could meet a wise lord like Liu Jun at the beginning? It's a pity that Shi Ye is lucky... But my lord is also very kind to me Wen Pin. Although Cai Mao has been excluding me, I can't just leave my lord like this."
Wen Pin felt extremely depressed when he thought of Cai Mao's recent exclusion, because Cai Mao asked him to chase Liu He, but he did not go, so he was constantly extorted by Cai Mao. This time, with Liu He going to Chang'an, Liu Biao originally sent Cai Mao to guard the newly built Fancheng, but in order to give his younger brother Cai Zhong the position of the guard of Fancheng, Cai Mao used the excuse of being sick and unwilling to come, and recommended him to Wen Pin.
Before the Wenpeng was released, Cai Mao had already arranged for his younger brother Cai Zhong to serve as the guard of Fancheng.
Wen Pin's heart was like a mirror. He knew Cai Mao's tricks, but he didn't care. In his opinion, as long as he could serve the lord, it would be the same no matter where he was. He didn't reject him when borrowing himself to Liu He's account to listen to him. Instead, he was also surprised. This was not only because he respected Liu He's character, but also wanted to have an in-depth understanding of what was the reason why Liu He could defeat himself with those recruits who had practiced for less than half a year.
Just when Wen Pin was deeply moved, he saw the flag swaying and the snare drums tremble. The soldiers arranged in neat lines and walked out of the school ground in majestic steps like flowing water, and began to walk out of Wuguan and move forward.
During this process, Liu He's army was acting on the team. Each team was still shouting strange slogans. This strange slogan was actually very simple, just "one, two, three, and four". Later, he gradually understood that whenever the team was shouting "one", the soldiers would buy their left leg together, and when they shouted "two", they would step on their right leg, which made the entire team look very neat. Even during the running process, the formation was still very regular, without a trace of distraction.
"I really have never heard of this strange way of marching." Seeing this scene, Wen Pin couldn't help but sigh, and then couldn't help asking General Zhou Cang not far away: "General Zhou, your army's unique way of marching is really amazing. I wonder which talented person's design came from?"
"Hehe, General Wen, you can see it too. To be honest, this strange marching method was officially created by my lord. I don't need to introduce its benefits to Zhou?"
Zhou Cang smiled, with a sense of pride on his face.
"It turned out to be created by Liu Envoy. Alas, today I realized that Liu Envoy is not only ambition, respecting the wise and humble, but also a military genius. Pin is really impressed!" Looking at Liu He's figure riding on a horse not far away, a strong sense of admiration emerged in Wen En's gaze.
