Chapter 126 I have an appointment, I have to continue
It is not that easy to move a large army, especially with a scale of 340,000, and the speed of daily march is still very worrying.
When Wang Buxu received the news, it was basically a day later.
The latest arrangements were immediately made and people were sent to deliver military orders.
At the same time, the army set off on the second day. One day after the army set off, people were sent again to order Xingyang and Aocang to send out troops.
On the fourth day, Zhang Han's army had already stayed by the Yellow River for two days.
The troops are stepping up their efforts to cut down trees and prepare to build a simple boat bridge.
Behind them, Wang Buxu personally led an army of 90,000, plus a team of 70,000 troops and civilians, officially joining the defenders of Xingyang and Aocang.
It was only then that Wang Buxu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, this war was not as fierce as he imagined. On the contrary, he was full of worries, always thinking about various situations that might happen and how to deal with them?
No wonder some people often say that fighting a war for one year requires ten years of energy.
Now Wang Buxu agrees very much with this. If the boss doesn't say there are three thousand beauties in the harem, there must be ten or twenty beauties anyway, right?
I haven't even done this yet, and I feel like I've been hollowed out. I really don't know if it will be sooner in the future...
"Sir!" Wang Cheng cautiously announced while standing outside the tent.
"Well!" Wang Buxu was brought back to reality from his fantasy. He was still very satisfied with Wang Cheng. There was no mistake this time. The logistics support was very powerful, although the troops were constantly capturing and replenishing.
"Get ready and take the civilian husband back to your hometown in the next two days. Those who are close to home can be allowed to go back. If the journey exceeds five days, let them stay for the time being in case of emergency."
"Young Master...this..." Wang Cheng was a little confused.
What the hell?
Just pull up your pants and leave after eating, then?
The civilians were so excited that they screamed excitedly, and they were even more desperate for training. Even if they didn't have weapons, they were all looking forward to going to the battlefield.
Now that I have aroused people's emotions and the prelude has been completed, you tell me to change people?
"No, sir, the morale of the people is very high now. If we let them leave at this time, wouldn't it be like killing the donkey..." Wang Cheng said anxiously.
"What do you mean by killing the donkey? Letting them go to the battlefield is the biggest irresponsibility for them!" Wang Buxu glared at Wang Cheng.
He even had to select the prisoners' army and let the older ones go. The age structure of the civilians was even worse than that of the prisoners' army.
After all, those who are young and have some ideas have already joined the army.
Furthermore, the king had no intention of letting these civilians go to the battlefield before. It was just to fill up the numbers and scare people. Why did he take them seriously one by one?
"Son..."
Wang Buxu directly interrupted Wang Cheng and said: "Previously, because of the lack of troops, they needed to support them and delay as much as possible until reinforcements arrived. Now the war situation is different. Xingyang and Aocang each sent 50,000 elite troops, and we
Young Master's 90,000-strong army has gathered together, followed by Chen Tieshan's 50,000-strong army, 240,000-strong army, and 150,000-strong main force. Is it possible that he still cannot deal with more than 400,000 prisoners and civilians?"
If Wang Buhung dared to let Wang Cheng take people away, he was certainly not being arrogant.
But due to their strength, Aocang and Xingyang have not been idle in the past few months. They do not need to move, so they are training soldiers every day.
After training for several months, although this group of people is still not as good as Wang Buxu's 50,000 main force, what they lack is just combat experience.
If they were allowed to fight in two battles and then train for ten days and a half, their combat effectiveness would definitely be inferior to that of Wang Buxu's 50,000 main force.
It's still very easy to be an elite these days.
Let experienced soldiers train full-time for two or three months, and then pull them out to fight in two battles. Then you will be an elite soldier.
Don't think it's impossible, because your opponents are ordinary people with no training at all.
"Sir, this is the difference between three years and six years..." Wang Cheng's face was full of resentment.
Of course he knew that the civilians were just cannon fodder and handymen, but it took three and six years to arouse everyone's will to fight.
It would be really inappropriate to let people go now.
"Young Master!" Zhang Liang and Chen Ping came together.
The two of them have been in frequent contact in the past few months. Although they have never met in person, they feel that they have similar temperaments when they meet, and there is no sense of being contemptuous of each other.
"Sir, what is the difference between three years and six years?" Zhang Liang asked with a smile.
"Previously..." Wang Cheng told the whole story.
After listening to the complete description of the incident, Zhang Liang also felt a little helpless. Of course, he did not think it was nonsense.
At the right time, do the right thing.
The previous battle situation was like that, and it was the right decision for Wang Buxu to use all the resources around him.
"Young Master has not yet succeeded in starting a business, so he should keep his word. Only in this way can the world be reassured and even more convinced." Zhang Liang turned around and persuaded.
"Yes, sir, if these civilian husbands are dismissed this time, the benefits promised to them will be gone. Will they maintain their current energy when recruiting civilian husbands next time?" Chen Ping also persuaded from another aspect.
road.
Wang Buxu felt that if he continued to be stubborn, he would soon become a villain condemned by the whole world.
"Young master just can't bear the people to die. I have made it clear several times before that they are not allowed to step into the battlefield unless the crisis is extremely serious." Zhang Buyi explained in a low voice for Wang Buxu.
Wang Buxu glanced at Zhang Buyi with satisfaction and said to himself, "That's right. I'm not helping you in vain."
"We naturally know the benevolence of the young master who loves the people as a son, but since the young master has made a promise, it should be carried out. People cannot stand without trust. If you want to solve this matter, you must keep him, even if you just follow him.
Even if the troops are behind them making pots, cooking, doing odd jobs, etc., they should also be asked to follow them. If they are asked to return home, their hearts will be lost. If they are allowed to return to their hometowns and exempted for four years, they will have the desire to get something for nothing. If they are recruited again, I am afraid that
There will still be various problems.”
Wang Buxu actually understood the meaning a long time ago. To put it bluntly, what he is playing with now is one's human heart.
If he plays well, he will ruthlessly reap the rewards. If he plays badly, Chen Sheng may be his fate.
Heaven and earth bear witness, I really don’t want these ordinary people to go there and die...
Heaven and earth can still testify. I was really a little scared before, so I let these people come to embolden me.
As for free three and six free, it is a bit bragging, but the premise is that it can be unified. Who knows that the enthusiasm of this group of people has really been aroused???
"Then let him be in charge of the army's logistics!" Wang Buxu finally nodded and agreed.
Chapter completed!
