Chapter 99 Pride and Price

On the same day, Li Ming sent Zhang Mo out and brought back those prisoners who were innocent and had no bad deeds.

Redemption is their only way out.In fact, if you look closely at their backgrounds, you will find that many of them are the original gentry or descendants of aristocratic families, so it is obvious why these people were selected.

Rao is so, from the identity of a thief, it will become a stigma for their whole life.In addition, their home has been destroyed, and the only thing they can do now is to use their own lives to gain a chance to redeem their sins. As for whether they can make contributions in the future, it depends on their future performance.

"My lord, should we set up a separate camp, or directly join the army?" Zhang Mo asked in a low voice.

"Since we will all eat in the same marching pot in the future, we should naturally not treat them differently!" Li Ming shook his head and said, "Intensify their drills, at least [-]% more training tasks than ordinary soldiers! Wash the clothes for the soldiers for ten days." That's right!"

"Here!" Zhang Mo nodded. If he set up a separate camp, he would basically drive them to the front line of the battlefield and consume them the fastest.If it's just training or housekeeping work, it's really nothing.

The drill intensity under Li Ming's command is much stronger than that of ordinary troops.Building on this foundation, these hundreds of captives almost collapsed to the ground from exhaustion after returning from training every day.However, Zhang Mo still waved his whip and directed them to wash the clothes of the soldiers.

Fortunately, Li Ming did not withhold their military rations, and the supply of corn was almost open.The captives were not that kind of vulgar people, and they naturally had knowledge, so they had nothing to complain about immediately.

It's not fun to be a thief, but if you don't follow the thief at that time, then the family will lose the inheritance completely.So I had to let one heir join the Yellow Turban Bandits, but the others would rather die than surrender.No matter what, at least a root is left!

Huangfusong had naturally investigated, and for this reason, he would give them a chance if they came from a family of thieves or the sons of a wealthy gentry.

On the sixth day, the large army began to gather, and the prisoners barely kept up with the training progress.The children of the aristocratic family are the children of the aristocratic family, and their physical fitness is better than those soldiers from refugees. The key is that many of them still have one or two martial arts skills, and even three or four people have practiced "Dou Zhan Jue".Just because of his status, he can only start from the bottom-level officers.

"Where's Yuan Sima?" After the troops assembled, but they didn't see Yuan Shao, Li Ming couldn't help asking in doubt.

"Shuguang!" Cao Mengde ran over in a panic, "Shuguang set off directly. We had already set off early yesterday, and we should be arriving in Julu County soon!"

"Didn't the general say he was leaving today?" Li Ming suddenly felt depressed. Could it be that he remembered the wrong time?

"It's indeed today, but I just said that I didn't bother with Shuguang going out at the same time, so I went out early yesterday afternoon. At that time, Shuguang was still training, and there was no time, so there was no notification." Cao Cao cupped his hands, which was regarded as an apology.

"Hmph, why don't you disdain my lord to go out together? Does that mean that the lord doesn't go out at all, and how about giving all the credit to him?" Zhang Mo suddenly complained angrily.

"Zhang Mo, don't talk nonsense!" Li Ming yelled back, then turned to Cao Cao and asked, "What did the general say?"

"With my original status, it's not easy for the general to interfere so much. Anyway, the overall situation is settled, and Shuguang just goes west to join him." Cao Cao shook his head helplessly. The behemoth of the Yuan clan contended.

The point is that Huangfu Song is clearly regarded as an eunuch, which can easily become an excuse for the family to attack him.

"Well, let's go!" Li Ming shook his head.He understands this kind of feeling. It's nothing more than a provincial leader who goes to the grassroots to plate gold. The county or even township leaders are in front of him. Even if this son is a member of the staff, who would dare to offend?
The absence of Yuan Shao is also a good thing, at least there is no constraint.The army had already been assembled, and when Li Ming gave an order, it immediately started to move out.Perhaps in order to earn some dignity for Li Ming, the soldiers marched almost in unison.

Looking at the neat phalanx and the neat pace, even Cao Cao knew how difficult it was to train.The key is the morale of the army. What kind of general does it take to make the soldiers think about it wholeheartedly?At least, Cao Cao didn't have the confidence to let his soldiers treat him like this!

At the same time, thirty miles west of Guangzong County, Yuan Shao was walking on the road with 2000 troops from his headquarters.

"Hahaha, if the guess is correct, Li Ming should have already started to leave, right? I don't know if they know, what kind of expression did they have when we started to leave yesterday?" Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing.

As for how he feels about Li Ming, Yuan Shao doesn't dislike him at most, and at the same time, he thinks that he might not be able to fight for Li Ming a little bit, and take Li Ming under Yuan Clan's sect.But regarding Li Ming's identity, Yuan Shao actually never took a high look at him from the beginning to the end.

Coming from a poor family, if he hadn't been lucky enough to join Zhu Jun's command, then Li Ming would have been blessed by his ancestors to become a school lieutenant in his life.But his background is still his shortcoming, even if he later married the Xun family.

The key point is still a little jealous, just because the first to open the gate of Guangzong County and kill Zhang Liang, the one who got the most credit was not Cao Cao, nor Huangfusong, or even him, but this humble family!
"With Li Pianjiang's character, if we act together with him, we must take the lead when we reach Julu County. If we let him kill Zhang Bao at that time, won't the young master lose any credit?" Yesterday In the early morning, the counselors sent by the Yuan Clan privately suggested to him that they should dispatch a day earlier.

In this way, you can enter the battle first and defeat Zhang Bao first.As for Li Ming, he could just watch him make meritorious deeds from behind.

Yuan Shao felt that this made sense, so he took his troops with him and set off yesterday afternoon.From yesterday to now, not counting the rest time, I have only driven more than 30 miles, which is considered within the normal range.

After driving all morning, the soldiers were already tired.However, Zhang Baobu was hiding in Julu County and did not dare to come out, so naturally he did not need to consider the issue of being attacked.According to this route, they will be able to arrive outside Julu County in the afternoon, and then attack the city after a night's rest.Even if Li Ming arrives in time, he can only drink some soup behind him!

Yuan Shao was thinking about Li Ming's gloomy expression, secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't want to hear the sound of rumbling horseshoes in the distance.There was little doubt that it must be the sound of a troop of cavalry moving.

It's just that the two armies of Yueqi and Tunqi have been beaten and disabled, and only Li Ming has a thousand cavalry under his command, and many of them are still prisoners.
"Enemy attack!" Yuan Shao shouted, and the soldiers quickly made preparations for defense.I have to say that this is indeed an elite unit, and the officers are all veterans, so they are very experienced in forming troops and dealing with the enemy.

At this moment, a cavalry unit appeared on the horizon and charged directly towards where they were.

"The previous disgrace, now I will collect some interest and come back!" As the commander, Chu Feiyan said lightly, and led the cavalry unit rushing from Taihang Mountain, and killed Yuan Shao's troops in a mighty way.

 The four chapters are not saved manuscripts, all of them are coded directly before publishing the four chapters!To be honest, I don't like to keep too many archives. One is that once a BUG appears, it needs to be overhauled, and the other is that it is not easy to improve after accepting your suggestions, so generally less than 8 to 10 chapters are left. The draft is fine.
