Chapter 55 Explain the reason (please recommend, please collect)

"I see Your Majesty" After hearing Huangfusong's words, Lu Bu followed suit.

When Huangfusong and Lu Bu came to Zhang Ming, Zhang Ming could see that Lu Bu was still stained with blood, exuding some bloody smell. Although the blood had solidified, he could still feel the murderous aura.But Huangfusong was slightly different, his clothes were clean, as if he had never been on the battlefield in person, Zhang Ming knew that this was Huangfusong's safe embodiment of siege strategy.

"General Huangfu, General Lu, what is the outcome of the Battle of Lantian?" Zhang Ming asked after Huangfusong and Lu Bu stopped.

"Your Majesty, this time our army dispatched a total of more than 2000 people to attack from the north city wall of Lantian County. It took about a moment to break into the city. At about Maoshi, Lantian City was completely captured. A total of more than 5000 soldiers were killed and wounded. More than 5000 people, more than [-] people were captured, and one of the more than a hundred generals was not killed. Hu Zhen has fled from the west gate, and all the food and grass in the city have been stopped, but due to the chaos of the battle, the food is everywhere, and the soldiers are still counting. " Huangfu Song told the results of the battle one by one.

"Your Majesty, this time our army dispatched a total of more than 4000 people to attack from the southern city wall of Lantian County. It took about half an hour to successfully enter the city. Later, I led a light cavalry to the General's Mansion in Lantian. However, Hu Zhen has already fled, and in this battle, the minister's troops suffered 10000 casualties, killed [-] enemies, killed two hundred generals, and survived one general." Lu Bu also reported his results.

Hearing Huangfusong and Lu Bu's report, Zhang Ming was already happy. After all, this battle has far exceeded his expectations. His initial expectation was that Huangfusong and Lu Bu's army would take Lantian County with difficulty, but Hu Zhen's army still took away part of the food. Although some troops would be lost, compared to getting the food, it was still very cost-effective.And now the result is naturally better.

"General Huangfu, General Lu, you have worked hard. When you return to Chang'an, I will definitely call a group of ministers to hold a banquet to celebrate the victory." Zhang Ming said calmly on the surface, without changing his face.

Zhang Ming then turned to look at Li Kang, the leader of the imperial army president, and said to him, "Lead the imperial army and wait here. I will go to the Lantian granary with General Huangfu and General Lu. Without my order, you are not allowed to move."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Kang, the President of the Imperial Army, said.

Zhang Ming asked all the guards except Zhang Da to stay where they were, while he and Zhang Da planned to follow Huangfu Song and Lu Bu to visit the granary in Lantian County.

The area of ​​Lantian County is very small, and the granary is roughly located in the northeast of Lantian City, about 1.5 kilometers away from Zhang Ming's current location, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk.

On both sides of the road, Huangfusong's troops were maintaining order in the streets, and some soldiers were carrying corpses. Among them, the corpses of our army were separated from those of the enemy army. Zhang Ming knew that this was to find a place to bury them. After all, with the productivity of this era , It is impossible to take the corpse back to the ancestral home for burial, but even if they are buried in situ, the specifications of our army and the enemy army are also different.

When these soldiers pull the corpses of the same camp, they will help the corpses clean up their appearance. This is the basic requirement of Huangfusong's army. Zhang Ming once asked this question when he played chess with Huangfusong. Huangfusong said that this can improve the army. The sense of belonging of soldiers, after all, in this era, it is also a blessing to be buried in the soil with good appearance.

As for the enemy's corpse, no one could expect the soldiers to remain calm. Even if the enemy was already dead, it was still unavoidable that some soldiers would strike again with the ring-sword in their hands.

Zhang Ming and his group arrived at the Lantian Granary after walking for about a quarter of an hour. He saw that the guards outside the granary were all from Huangfusong. When the guard saw Huangfusong coming, he shouted "General!"

These people did not know that Zhang Ming was His Majesty today, when Huangfusong was about to explain to the guards, Zhang Ming stopped him in time.

Entering the Lantian granary, Zhang Ming glanced over and saw that there were bags of millet all over the warehouse. Huangfusong's troops were making statistics, and every once in a while, one or two grain trucks would come in from outside the granary. He knew , this is the grain scattered outside.

Looking at the grain, Zhang Ming roughly estimated that it was no less than 100 shi of grain. He and Cui Ming had gone to see the 80 shi of grain Lu Bu looted from Meiwu before. That time even more.

"General Huangfu, General Lu, I have something to discuss with you. There is no one at the granary. Let's go over there." Zhang Ming pointed to the south side of the granary. place to rest.

"Yes, Your Majesty" Huangfusong and Lu Bu said in unison, and then led the way towards the hut.

After arriving at the hut, Zhang Ming blurted out, "I want the imperial army to transport food back. I don't know the two generals, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? In this battle, our army also brought a group of grain transportation officers, and they can directly transport the grain back to Chang'an." Huangfusong was a little puzzled. He didn't know the purpose of His Majesty's coming here, logically speaking. , with him and General Lu around, it is enough to take down Lantian County, and if you want to transport food, your majesty is also not needed.

"Your Majesty, if you are worried, I can station 100 troops on the east side of Lantian County to Chang'an Road. If there are enemy troops coming, I will not let them get close to the grain transportation team." Lu Bu also expressed his thoughts Sure enough, Lu Bu with a loyalty of [-] is more considerate than before.

"No, no, the two generals heard from me that the reason why I brought the forbidden army here this time is to let them come here to transport food. Of course, I believe that the two generals will be able to transport all the food in Lantian City back smoothly. , but do the two generals know the source of the imperial guards in the palace?"

"Before Dong Zhuo moved east to Luoyang, Chang'an's palace was in a semi-abandoned state, and most of the imperial guards in Luoyang's palace before had been subordinated to Dong Zhuo's subordinates. Huangfu may have served in Luoyang's palace before he had soldiers under him now. Pass the Praetorian Guard."

"As for the current imperial army in Chang'an, most of them were recruited by Dong Zhuo from Chang'an City. These people have only received military training in the palace for a period of time. Even Li Kang, the president of the imperial army, is far inferior to your subordinates in terms of combat experience. low-level generals, so I need to bring them out to meet the world."

"Of course, this is not the main reason. The real reason is that they still have a small family living in Chang'an City. Because Dong Zhuo often raided the people, the people in the city lived in dire straits. Although they were the imperial guards, their families Life is still very difficult, and I want to use them, through their families, to harvest a wave of people's hearts, and the hearts of the people in Chang'an City are still not stable, and I need to make more efforts."

Zhang Ming expressed all the thoughts in his mind in one breath.For him, Huangfusong and Lu Bu are now his right-hand men.
