The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 277 Building a Camp
Therefore, Liu Chan immediately dispatched 1000 people to set up all the antlers that had been prepared 1000 feet outside the planned line around the camp.

There are actually two kinds of so-called antlers: the first one is made by binding many sharp and strong branches or trunks together, which is named after its shape like antlers, also known as repelling antlers; the second one is to sharpen logs and The cross is fixed together to prevent the cavalry from attacking, and it can be moved, also known as rejecting horses.Liu Chan's army is mostly infantry, so what we need to guard against is Cao Wei's main force cavalry raiding into the barracks. The antlers here should be rejecting horses.

Another measure to prevent cavalry raids is the "horse trap", which will be filled with sharp wooden stakes and bamboos. Once the cavalry or people fall into it, they will die.But this work should be done at night, so that the position will not be detected by the enemy.

Then, Liu Chan sent another three thousand shovel troops.All they had to do was to dig a trench twelve feet deep and eighteen feet wide around the camp.The excavated soil must be piled on the inside of the trench to form an earth wall, and this is where the camp stakes will be erected.

Then, Liu Chan then sent the remaining 6000 people into the planning area, and started to build camps, field hospitals, stables and other facilities from 300 feet away from each sideline.

Among them, Guan Xing's left battalion and half of the right battalion tents were placed behind the north gate of the main gate and divided into two parts, east and west.

In the middle is a large passageway more than [-] feet wide from north to south, and there is another such passageway from east to west.The other half of the Right Battalion will live behind the south gate, opposite to the stables for [-] war horses.Liu Chan's commander-in-chief and his middle battalion army lived in the field hospital, in the middle area between the right battalion army and the field hospital.In the area west of the field hospital, there is still a large open space, which is used for gathering troops and storing supplies.

Therefore, under Liu Chan's meticulous planning, the division of labor between the soldiers who built the camp will be very clear, and it is easy for each soldier to remember that he lives in that camp in that area, and even when the time comes It can also prevent the enemy's spies from mixing into the camp.

Soon, the area of ​​more than 64000 square meters in the entire camp turned into a busy construction site.

On the other hand, after Lu Jian's 3000 troops stopped, the two sides began to confront each other.Lu Jian was not very old, only between 26 and [-] years old, with a very fair complexion, holding a silver gun in his hand, and wearing black armor, it really looked like that.

However, Lu Jian was slightly taken aback when he looked at the Guan Xing Zuoying Army who had already set up a formation in front of him and seemed to be in high spirits.

He had always heard that Sun Liu's army was in short supply of horses. Although the army on the opposite side was equal in number to him, there were at least [-] horses among them!It's not much different from my own.Therefore, Lu Jian began to wonder whether he should withdraw his troops first and fight the enemy again in the coming day.

Then, when Lu Jian was thinking about this in his heart, he raised his eyes to look into the distance, and was immediately attracted by the situation of the "construction site" there.

He suddenly found that some of the enemy troops were building horses and antlers, some were digging trenches, some were driving wooden piles, and some were already building various tents.Every soldier was doing his work in an orderly manner, there was no sign of being busy, let alone the scene of the general holding a whip gesticulating, everything seemed so peaceful!

Although Lu Jian was proud by nature, even a famous general like Xu Huang couldn't convince him, but in fact he still had some insights.Everything in front of him immediately made him understand that not only in terms of morale, but also in terms of discipline, this army is not comparable to ordinary troops.Moreover, the style of their camps is actually a bit different. It is not like any other camps I have ever seen, and I don't know who came up with it.

In fact, how did Lu Jian know that in order to formulate perfect discipline regulations for this army, Liu Chan even argued to the death with Ma Liang, Guan Xing and others.However, after the promotion of the [-] military disciplines in the "Unified Association Law and Discipline Regulations", it has already penetrated into the hearts of every soldier, and its effect has already emerged.So after Liu Chan assigns tasks now, everyone knows that they should fulfill their duties, otherwise they will violate military discipline and face severe punishment.

After all these were distributed, Liu Chan immediately stepped on his mount, led Zhao Feng, Zuo Fu and a group of people, and finally came to Guan Xing's formation.But Guan Xing was observing the enemy with a calm face.

Seeing Liu Chan approaching, Guan Xing turned his horse's head and saluted, "My lord, why are you here? How is the camp?"

Liu Chan smiled and said: "The various areas inside the camp have been planned, and the rest of the work will be left to the officers and soldiers at all levels. By the way, what is the situation of the enemy army?"

Guan Xing shook his head and said: "The enemy army has been around for some time, but they haven't seen any action. I'm afraid the enemy's general is also hesitating whether to fight our army or not?"

Liu Chan nodded and said: "In that case, we don't need to provoke them. Although we stopped and stopped along the way, the soldiers didn't show any signs of hard work, but now we are still building camps, there is no need to start a war with the enemy. of."

While the two were talking, a general in black armor stepped out from the enemy army and shouted loudly: "This general is Lu Jian, the deputy general under the driving of the king of Wei. If you dare to ask who is the main general in the enemy army opposite, please Come out and answer."

Guan Xing and Liu Chan looked at each other, and then they went out together.Liu Chan immediately replied loudly: "My son, Liu Chan, is now the leader of the army. Your Excellency just failed to raid our army, what can you say now?"

Lu Jian looked at Liu Chan, a skinny kid in gray clothes with a bookish face, and couldn't help laughing secretly, did he think too highly of the army in front of him just now?
Lu Jian immediately cupped his hands and said with a sneer, "So you are Liu Chan, the son of Liu Bei, the thief who stole Liu Zhang's Yizhou. You took Fancheng from Governor Cao Ren a few days ago. Today, you finally saw the real person."

Although Liu Chan disliked Liu Bei, he was still his father after all.Isn't Lu Jian damaging Liu Bei's reputation in this way the same as Liu Chan's reputation?What's more, this guy actually called Liu Bei a thief, so didn't he become a thief?

Liu Chan immediately said angrily: "You ignorant person, you really have short-sightedness, and you dare to come out to shame people! Although my Emperor Han is under house arrest in Xuchang by the Cao thief, he is still the co-lord of the world, and the world is still the emperor's world." When did Yizhou belong to Liu Zhang alone?"

Lu Jian was taken aback by Liu Chan's words.In fact, although the country dedicated to the emperor is in name only, but if the princes of various countries want to become kings, don't they have to write a letter to him in name?Therefore, the current status of the big man is still there, of course Lu Jian immediately realized that Liu Chan's rebuttal was powerful.

Liu Chan continued: "What's more, Liu Zhang is not a sage at all. He has governed Yizhou for many years without any achievements, and has no desire to rejuvenate my Liu family. My father, Liu Shijun, is a man of benevolence and righteousness. A virtuous man, he took down Yizhou to raise troops to fight against the bandits Cao, and in the future he decided to bring the emperor back to Luoyang and continue the orthodoxy. What is wrong with this?! Although your ignorance is not a crime, but if you let it out like a mad dog to bite people indiscriminately, That would be a heinous sin!"

In fact, anyone with a little brain would of course know that what Liu Chan is saying now is empty talk, and it is also very hypocritical.Among the few remaining princes, which one is not dreaming of establishing a new dynasty by himself in the future?What kind of bullshit welcomes the emperor to Luoyang, go to hell!
However, Liu Chan's words were well-founded and his words were sonorous. It was really hard for him not to blush and heartbeat, and he scolded Lu Jian incidentally, which immediately turned Lu Jian's face blue with anger.

At this time, Lu Jian finally understood that the rumors were correct. It was said that Liu Chan, the son of Liu Bei, had a sharp tongue and liked to discuss with scholars from Jingyi and Jingzhou.

Lu Jian knew that his eloquence was inferior to Liu Chan's, and he didn't want to ask for trouble, so he said immediately: "Liu Chan is indeed a sharp-tongued person! However, it is useless for the two armies to use their tongues in front of the battle. See the real chapter on the battlefield!"

As Lu Jian said, he immediately turned his horse's head and led the army to retreat quickly.

Liu Chan is also suffocating now, secretly thinking in his heart that he must kill this person in the future, so that he can vent his anger.

Then, Liu Chan said to Guan Xing with a dark face: "Second brother, you continue to lead the army to defend here. I will send someone to notify you after the camp is over. I will go first."

Then, without waiting for Guan Xing to speak, he steered his horse and ran back.
