Chapter 79
,,,,,,,,,,,,
Xiangyang is not far from Xinye, only has a remaining miles away, and can be reached in the morning and evening, but he is cautious and ordered to stay in the camp when it is still ten miles away from Xinye County.
This area is on the west coast of Bishui, surrounded by gentle mounds, with a wide view, and a dense forest more than ten miles away.
This is the element of camping. It requires water sources, the four fields are open and the terrain is flat. In addition, the meticulous recruitment of ten thousand troops set up camps. After a whole hour of busyness, a camp covering several acres was completed.
The center of the camp is the granary military capital, and then several large tent military camps. The baggage vehicles surrounded the outside of the camp, and there were 200,000 spears surrounded the outermost, with the spear being diagonally inserted on the land, and the sharp spear tips were facing the outside.
Not only that, tens of thousands of caltrops were also sprinkled at the cavalry's charge, which was also a powerful tool to deal with cavalry. In addition, eight sentry towers were built in four corners of the camp, which could be viewed for several miles, and were closely guarded from all directions.
He was about ten years old and was originally just a low-level officer with a strong martial arts skills. He liked to read military books and was full of martial arts. He led people to defeat thousands of enemy attacks in a battle to conquer Jiaozhou, stood out, was attracted by Cai Mao, and recommended to Liu Biao.
Liu Biao also admired his martial arts and strategies very much, promoted him to military marquis, and soon promoted him to general. Five years later, he was gradually promoted to lieutenant, becoming one of the six famous generals in Jingzhou, leading 20,000 troops to guard the north of the Han River.
He was harsh in the military management and was also very fond of soldiers. He was open and upright, so he was deeply loved by the soldiers of Jingzhou. Like Huang Zhong and Wang Wei, he was one of the most prestigious generals in the Jingzhou army.
Because of the kindness of Cai Mao's knowledge of his love, he accepted Cai Mao's nephew Cai Jin as his apprentice four years ago. He was considered a member of the Cai family. However, he had a personal grudge with Zhang Yun. More importantly, he supported the eldest Liu Qi, while the Cai family began to favor the second Liu Cong.
Therefore, Pin gradually parted ways with the Cai family. In addition, Pin is from Nanyang and has a close relationship with Huang Zhong, and the Huang family in Nanyang has formed a party with the Kuai family.
Although there was no necessary causal relationship, Pin did begin to favor Kuai Yue. This time he was the leader of the Northern Expedition, which was recommended by Kuai Yue.
In the military camp, more than a dozen generals were hired to inspect the camping situation. He was a rigorous person and had to do many things himself.
Walking to the southwest corner of the watchtower, he looked at the construction of the watchtower, and there were protective trenches digging around, without any corner cuts. He nodded, quite satisfied.
"General, do you want to go up?" asked a general.
Pin did not speak, so he climbed the soft ladder and climbed up the wardrobe. There were two sentries on the wardrobe, each guarding one side. Once an abnormal situation was found, he would ring the bell and warn him. He hung a cast iron bell on the wardrobe, which rang violently, and the sound could be heard for several miles.
"Is there anything wrong?" asked when he saw the two sentries who seemed to have something to say.
"Report to the general, we seemed to have seen the scout Cao's army just now."
A sentry pointed southwest, "discovered just one mile away."
Pin's face sank, walked forward and focused his mind to look southwest. More than ten miles southwest was a dense forest that stretched for more than a mile.
As far as you see, the low mounds are undulating, it is dusk, and the blood-red sunset hangs above the forest, sprinkling the last bit of afterglow on the earth, dyeing the forest and the wilderness a layer of magnificent gold.
At this moment, several cavalrymen appeared on a mound, about one mile away from the camp, looking into the camp from afar. At a glance, they were the scouts of Cao's army.
Pin was furious immediately. He clearly sent several patrols around him, why didn't he intercept Cao's scout?
"Where is Deng Wu?"
Pin turned around and shouted loudly, and a young general responded and bowed, "I am in a humble position."
"You lead the cavalry to surround the Cao army's scouts quickly. If you let them escape, you will come and see you."
"Abide by the order"
Ya general Deng Wu ran away. After a moment, a group of cavalry rushed out of the camp and surrounded Cao's scout.
But before Pinyu's anger faded, he ordered: "Catch me the patrol leader responsible for the southwest and punish me severely."
.........
Liu Jing's five people belonged to the Qu Department and were responsible for protecting food and grass security. They were directly led by the deputy general Cai Zhong. Although Cai Zhong had personal grudges with Liu Jing, he did not show any grudges at the same time, but took great care of him.
When allocating the tents, Cai Zhong also specially gave them ten best tents. The other soldiers had ten people and one large tent, but Liu Jing had twenty people and one tent.
And it is also a little more refined than other soldiers in terms of grain, rice and meat. This surprised Liu Jing. Could it be that Cai Zhong wants to give up his past grudges with him?
But based on his understanding of Cai Zhong, he felt it was impossible. Cai Zhong might have other plans, so he did not make any statement and wait and see what happened.
The sun sets and the sky is dim. Liu Jing's five subordinates are gathering together for dinner. The laughter is noisy and it is particularly lively. From time to time, you can see Liu Hu's fat body huddled among the soldiers to grab vegetables. The soldiers did not let him go and clamored.
At this time, Liu Jing suddenly saw dozens of steps away, an officer was tied up and headed towards the central army tent ahead. The general saw that the military uniform was just a low-level officer, but he was tall and handsome. Although he was tied up, he raised his head without any frustration and had a bit of momentum.
Liu Jing thought to himself: I don’t know what military rules this person has violated, but he was tied up and came. He seems to be quite mighty.
He immediately ordered a subordinate, "Go and find out what happened there and why he arrested people."
The soldiers rushed away and came back soon after, reporting: "Mr. Jun., this person is a patrol garrison. He heard that he had found Cao's scout within the patrol. The general was furious and arrested him for questioning. He heard that such dereliction of duty might be executed."
Liu Jing nodded. It turned out that this was the case. This man was handsome, and it would be a pity to kill him. Although Liu Jing thought so, he did not want to be too troublesome. He hired the military to govern the army strictly and had military laws as if he were a mountain.
He turned around and was about to leave, and the soldiers behind him said again: "I heard that this person is called Wei Yan, and his martial arts are good."
Wei Yan
Liu Jing turned around suddenly, he suspected that he had heard it wrong, and asked again, "What is his name?"
The soldier scratched his head, "His name is Wei Yan. Many people know him. He has bad popularity and offended many people..."
Before the soldiers finished speaking, Liu Jing rushed to the central army's tent, kidding that this was Wei Yan, a famous general in the country, and he was going to be executed.
Liu Jing knew that Jingzhou was full of talents, but the main ones were more important, with fewer famous generals. Famous people, such as Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Pin, and Wei Yan, were actually Wang Wei and Huang Zu were also good, not as cowardly as in the Romance.
These famous generals have appeared one after another, but Wei Yan has not appeared for a long time. Liu Jing also asked someone to inquire, but there was no news. He a little doubted that Wei Yan might not be in Jingzhou, but Wei Yan is from Yiyang, and Yiyang does belong to Jingzhou.
Just when Liu Jing couldn't find this person for a long time, he didn't expect that at the most unpredictable moment, Wei Yan appeared, and was in crisis as soon as he appeared, and was hired to be executed.
Liu Jing was anxious and ran towards PinShip's tent quickly, fearing that Wei Yan would fall to the ground after one step later.
Wei Yanruo is dead, who will help him fight the country...
...........
In the commander's tent, Pin's face turned pale. Although Deng Wu led the cavalry to encircle and suppress the enemy with all his might, the seven Cao army scouts fled, and his military aircraft was leaked, making him furious.
He hired a heavy shot of the handsome man and scolded him: "The patrol is not strict, causing the Cao army scout to approach the big tent. Do you know the crime?"
This is a characteristic of recruitment. Even if he wants to kill a soldier, he has to make public the reasons and what kind of military rules he has violated.
Especially this Northern Expedition was of great significance. He was punished for the first time, so of course he had to make the other party aware of the crime and convince the army.
Wei Yan was tied up and knelt on the ground on one knee. He was twenty-nine years old this year. He served in Jingzhou for seven years, and made numerous military achievements from fighting in Jiaozhou to attacking Changsha.
But unlike others, others make meritorious service for promotion, but he makes meritorious service for the sake of his crime. Wei Yan is proud, often speaks rudely, offends his boss repeatedly, and never leaves his feet with all kinds of small shoes.
Every time he made a meritorious service, various troubles would arise to offset his contribution. Despite this, Wei Yan refused to change his character. He was like a down-and-out phoenix mingling among the flock of pheasants. He could not stand out. After seven years of joining the army, the person who joined the army with him had been promoted to military Houya General, and he was still a small village chief.
Wei Yan refused to lower his head and said with high apology: "Although I dereliction of duty, there is a reason. I only brought twenty brothers, but I have to be responsible for the ten-mile range, especially the southwest forest is densely packed, and the nearest forest is only eight miles away from the barracks. The Cao army scout came out of this forest, but it takes at least ten people to fully monitor this forest. Even if we don't care about it elsewhere, we are all here, and the number of people is not enough. Why doesn't the general ask about this reason?"
"I only look at the result. Whether you take ten people or one person, these are your own business. I don't care. But Cao's scouts appear within your patrol range. If you don't take the blame, who will take the blame?"
The more I spoke, the more angry he became. Finally, he slapped the table and "pushed it out"
Several swordsman hugged Wei Yan and walked out, Wei Yan turned around and shouted: "It's not me who sent troops, why do I have to take responsibility? Marshal, you punished unfairly?"
Pin's eyes narrowed, a small village chief, who didn't beg for mercy, dared to accuse himself of being unfair. He was really tired of living.
Wei Yan was pushed out of the tent and forced to kneel on the ground. A knife and axe man raised the sharp machete high and pointed it at Wei Yan's neck.
Wei Yan closed his eyes and sighed in a low voice, "I didn't expect that Wei Yan would die here."
At this moment, a shout came from afar: "Stay people under the knife"
I saw a man rushing to the scene. Many soldiers knew him. It turned out to be Gong Jing. The sword and axe driver hesitated and did not slash the knife.
Liu Jing was so shocked that his heart was about to jump out. It was only a little bit before Wei Yan's head fell to the ground.
"Let's do it slowly, I'll plead with the coach. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to kill again."
The sword and axe hand put down the knife, and Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He did not expect that someone would come to save him.
