Chapter 1378 Front, Rear(1/2)
If you don't take action in 1929, you can walk on the ice in 3949.
But a certain country time traveler expressed dissatisfaction:
Not only do I have to take action, I also have to walk on the ice!
So in the severe winter of March 9th, when General Zhendong led his army out of the fortress, in Luoyang in the south, Jiang Wei also led his men and horses on the thick ice-covered river.
Over the years, the elites of the Han army have always had winter training as a training program.
Of course, Luoyang's defenders cannot all be elite.
But the Tiger Infantry Army led by Jiang Wei is one of the eight armies in the pass and must be considered elite.
Wear a fur hat on your head, with thick ear protection on both sides, and then put on a thick cloth mask. Except for your eyes and eyebrows, your mouth, nose, and ears are fully protected.
Iron armor must not be worn anymore. Otherwise, if you wear it so thickly and put an iron armor on top, even if you can stand up, whether you can take steps is still a problem.
At most, I'm wearing leather armor, which can provide some added protection.
Some of the soldiers crossing the river had cold eyes and were focused on their journey.
But some people's eyes were shining, looking towards the other side that was vaguely visible in front of them, full of longing:
"Finally we're crossing the river!"
When the team leader who was concentrating on the road next to him heard this, he sprayed out a mouthful of white mist and scolded:
"Concentrate on marching and don't think about what you have or don't have?"
After a pause, he glanced ahead and couldn't help but mutter: "Maybe it's just crossing the river to practice?"
"ah?"
The soldiers around him are fellow villagers, and now they are eating in the same manger, and they are often taken care of by the team leader.
He knew that the fellow who led the team in front of him did not hold a high position in the army, but he had actually been in the army for more than ten years.
If I hadn't been unable to keep up with literacy, I might have become a school captain or something.
When he heard what the other party said, he subconsciously looked at his attire and found that he had everything.
Look at the colleagues around you, they are like a forest of guns and halberds.
That's right, everything is very standard preparation before the battle.
And is this direction going to the other side?
The other side is Hanoi, right?
Hanoi...is owned by thieves, right?
No one said anything about going to the territory occupied by thieves for training?
As if he saw the little fellow's doubts, the team leader raised his head and glanced ahead, half answering and half muttering to himself:
"With this weather, even if the gods come, they won't be able to attack the city!"
Unless the thieves are willing to abandon their violence and return to the right path, they will open the city gate to welcome the king.
Otherwise, the army would cross the river in such a swagger, and the thieves were not blind. They would just close the city gate, and most of the army would just stare at it outside the city.
Of course, the general may have other ideas?
Maybe you have other ideas?
That's not something people like me can figure out.
Jiang Ji, who led the army to defend Hanoi, could naturally think of the issue that even the team rate was taken into consideration in the Han army.
But he didn't dare to gamble.
Because the Han army crossed Hebei from Mengjin to attack the city and plunder the territory, the first county that was likely to suffer was most likely Wen County.
Where is Wen County?
That was Taifu Sima's hometown.
The foundation of the Sima family elected by Hebei and even the great Wei family.
If something unexpected happened due to his own negligence, Taifu Sima would wipe his neck and commit suicide without even opening his mouth.
The old man, who was almost sixty years old, received an urgent report that there was movement in the Han army in Luoyang, and he was so anxious in the middle of winter.
He said "Ouch" and hurried to Yecheng to send an emergency report. At the same time, he rushed from Zhiguan to Wenxian County.
Although there was movement on the other side of Zhiguan, he knew that the problem was not big.
Because Feng Thief had already transferred from Hedong to Taiyuan.
The Han army without Feng thief and the Han army with Feng thief are two different concepts.
What he was afraid of was not the Han army, but the Han army with the Feng thief.
Otherwise, in the middle of winter, would he be afraid that his opponents would cross the mountains and cross the Zhiguan Pass secretly?
In the last month of the ninth year of Yanxi, the Han Dynasty divided its army into five groups to attack the bandits.
The Luoyang army led by Zhennan general Jiang Wei was the first to make a breakthrough, and its troops were directed towards Wen County, Hanoi.
The first battle report of this expedition against the bandits was sent back to Chang'an, which quite inspired some people.
"Jiang Boyue is still very powerful. Whether it's the battle in Guanzhong or the recapture of Luoyang, he can be said to use his troops as fast as the wind. This time, he is the first to fight against the thieves."
"That's right, this man was the general that the Prime Minister valued most during his lifetime. He once said that he was good at military affairs. When did the Prime Minister make any mistakes?"
"It's a joke! Wasn't the person whom the Prime Minister valued most during his lifetime not the Great Sima? How come he became Jiang Zhennan?"
When someone choked on this sentence, someone immediately became anxious:
"Da Sima... Can Da Sima be the same? The generals I mentioned naturally do not include Da Sima."
Comparing Da Sima with those generals of the Han Dynasty, isn't that bullying?
In the past, it was said that Feng Da Sima was a disciple of the Shanmen. Later, the news came out from unknown sources, saying that there was someone from the Shanmen. It was not a mountain sect at all, but an immortal sect.
Wei Boyang knows about cutting?
Yes, yes, that's the immortal who wrote "Book of Changes Shen Tong Qi" and finally became an immortal in Fengming Cave of Fengming Mountain in Shangyu.
At that time, he brought three disciples to cultivate immortality. One of them became an immortal, while two others gave up halfway and returned to their hometown because of their weak desire to cultivate immortality.
One of the two disciples who failed to become an immortal was named Feng Liang.
I heard that Feng Liang, after returning from Fengming Mountain, received a letter from his master one day and learned that his master had become an immortal. He regretted it beyond words.
Now you know?
Feng Da Sima is also named Feng!
Guess what is the relationship between Feng Da Sima and Wei Boyang’s disciple named Feng?
Feng Da Sima went crazy and went into the mountain. After coming out of the mountain, he behaved strangely. People at the time thought he was suffering from a disease.
In fact, it was because I met the ancestor of my sect, Immortal Wei, in the mountains and received enlightenment from the immortal.
Therefore, it is not a disease at all. Those who speak strangely must be different from ordinary people.
Do you know what it means to have people on the mountain?
How can secular people be compared with the children of immortals?
Of course, there are also rumors saying that this rumor actually came from Wudi, which is simply not credible.
It was the people of Wu who wanted to put money on their faces, so they found Feng Da Sima a divine master from Wu.
(Note: Wei Boyang is from Shangyu, Kuaiji)
But no matter what, the fact that Feng was related to the legendary immortal not only did not surprise people, but also made many people think it was reasonable.
It is enough to show that Feng's identity as a disciple of the Mountain (Immortal) Sect has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Of course, although General Zhennan is not as good as Feng Da Sima, he has to admit that he is also very powerful.
At least after the news reached Chang'an, the people and even some middle and low-level officials were happy and excited.
The big guy wins again!
Folk "think tanks" and "folk masters" are all in the market, after tea and dinner, giving advice and inspiring words:
Wen County is the base of the old thief Sima. General Zhennan led his troops to surround Wen County, which can be said to be a knife thrust into the heart of the thief.
Not only did it greatly frighten the thieves, but it also strategically mobilized the thieves' forces and made them exhausted, which created opportunities for other armies.
Wonderful!
After hearing the lofty opinions of these "folk think tanks", the people all followed the climax:
How wonderful!
…
Compared with the excitement of the common people, the reaction of the imperial court to this matter was somewhat dull.
After hearing the news, the court officials with a salary of less than 600 shi from outside the court were still wondering whether they should ponder the speeches or memorials at the court meeting, join in the fun, and follow the boss to say a congratulatory message or something.
