Three Kingdoms King of the North

"Gongda," Han Zhan waited for Xun You to finish speaking, and added, "What you said is somewhat reasonable. But the reason why the Marquis sent Tai Shici to Danyang County to recruit troops is not only because there are elite soldiers there, but also because Yuan Shu and Liu Yao and Liu Yao are competing for Yangzhou, and there are many places that cannot be taken care of for the time being, so this Marquis ordered Ziyi to go to Danyang County to recruit troops."

Huang Zhong couldn't get in on what the few people were talking about, so he could only wait for them to finish talking, and then promptly changed the topic: "My lord, the two vanguards Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have captured two consecutive battles in recent days. A city, but their soldiers and horses are worth a lot, you can see if you can supplement them."

"Han Sheng." Han Zhan looked at Huang Zhong and said, "If the soldiers and horses of Guan and Zhang are too damaged, you can immediately adjust the yellow scarves of Tugu to supplement their lost soldiers and horses. Anyway, there are more than 30 soldiers and horses there. The Marquis thinks it will be no problem to select tens of thousands of usable soldiers from among them."

"My lord is right." As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Xun You echoed: "The yellow scarf thieves in Tugu have nothing to do every day. In addition to consuming huge amounts of food and grass, they are also an unstable factor. No one can tell. What are they doing?" Things were not in a good mood, and the flag was raised again to rebel. Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in one place, even if our army is brave and good at fighting, if we want to put them down, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. At that time, it will affect the plan to capture Qingzhou. "

"This place is too far away from Tugu, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to go back and forth." Zhao Yun put forward a different view on Han Zhan's use of the yellow scarf army to supplement the vanguard of Guan and Zhang: "We will send the soldiers of Tugu Adding horses to the vanguard battalion will inevitably dilute the combat effectiveness of the vanguard, and I think this method is not advisable."

Huang Zhong retorted: "Should we supplement the soldiers and horses of Jizhou to Guan and Zhang? You know, they only surrendered to Jizhou to save Liu Bei's life, but they always have two hearts."

"Zilong," Han Zhan waited for Huang Zhong to finish speaking, and paused for a moment. Seeing that Zhao Yun did not argue with the other party, he asked curiously, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"The [-] yellow scarves under Guan Hai have already been trained to be quite powerful." Zhao Yun said unhurriedly, "We can select enough people from them to fill the ranks of the left and right vanguards. As for Guan Hai The vacancies in the army will be filled by the yellow turban bandits."

"Good way, really good way." Before Zhao Yun could finish speaking, Xun You clapped his hands and applauded, and said first: "The yellow turban bandits transferred from Tugu will be added to Guan Hai's army, because the whole army is full of yellow turbans. Getting up will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Zilong's suggestion is really good."

"Since the military adviser also thinks that this proposal is good," Zhao Yun asked Xun You, "Then shall we send an order immediately to ask Guan Hai to dispatch 1 troops to supplement Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's troops?"

Xun You didn't answer immediately, but turned to Han Zhan for help.Han Zhan waved his hand and said, "Gongda, Zilong is the commander of Dongzheng, and you are his military adviser. All the transfers in the army are decided by you, regardless of the opinions behind it."

Seeing that Han Zhan didn't intend to overstep the bounds, Xun You finally put his heart back in his stomach.What an army is most afraid of is that the government has multiple branches, making the soldiers below at a loss. If this happens on the battlefield, it may lead to a disastrous defeat.Thinking of this, Xun You shouted outside: "Come here!"

Following the shout, a military commander strode in, clasped his fists at Xun You, and said loudly, "I don't know what orders the military commander has?"

Xun You took out a command arrow from the command box, and said to the commander of the army, "You immediately take the order and rush to Guan Hai's army, and send [-] soldiers to the left and right vanguards. By the way, tell Guan Hai that the soldiers and horses he lacks, Our army division will draw from the yellow scarf bandits in Tugu, and let him stay calm."

"Here!" Jun Sima agreed, stepped forward to take the command arrow in Xun You's hand, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Guan Hai's camp was to the north of Han Zhan's camp. When he saw the military commander walking in with an arrow in his hand, Guan Hai quickly got up and asked respectfully, "Dare to ask the military commander, the master has orders?"

"My lord has an order!" The army commander raised the arrow in his hand high and said loudly: "Immediately dispatch [-] soldiers and horses to replenish the vanguard battalion."

Guan Hai never discounted Han Zhan's orders. After the army Sima delivered the order, he immediately called Qing Niujiao and said to him: "Niujiao, my lord asked my department to dispatch 1 horses to reinforce Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's troops. Troops. I think it's up to you to lead the troops."

When Qing Niujiao heard Guan Hai's order, he hesitated and said, "We only have [-] soldiers and horses in total. We will transfer [-] today, and another [-] tomorrow. In less than a month, we will have no troops." Soldiers are available."

"Don't worry, Captain Guan." Fortunately, Guan Hai's attitude has long been in Xun You's guess, so the army commander who sent the order went on to say: "My lord will send troops from the yellow scarf bandits in Tugu to supplement you." missing soldiers."

"That's really great." Guan Hai was overjoyed when he learned that Han Zhan planned to use the yellow turban bandits from Tugu to replenish his troops.You must know that there are about [-] soldiers and horses in Tugu, too many to dare to say, and it is not a problem to pick out [-] to [-] soldiers who can fight.When these soldiers and horses arrive in their battalion, they can become a good force with a little training.

As soon as they came out of the county office, the county lieutenant and the head secretary rushed to the conscription point to help.Many people who were still on the sidelines, saw the county lieutenant and master book that they knew came to the conscription office, chatting and laughing with the military master who recruited recruits, so they dispelled their doubts and began to join the registration team.

As the sky was getting darker, the people around the conscription office finally gradually became thinner. Seeing that they were almost busy, the county lieutenant and the chief secretary bid farewell to Tai Shici and left with the yamen servants who helped him.

As soon as the county lieutenant and the master left, Tai Shici couldn't wait to ask the team leader: "How many recruits have you recruited today?"

After a quick inventory of the team rate, he said to Tai Shici emotionally: "If we go back to the vanguard, we have recruited a total of 920 five recruits today. If we can maintain this momentum tomorrow, we will, at least within one month Tens of thousands of recruits can be recruited."

"The county magistrate here is an acquaintance with someone, and he will soon be dismissed by Yuan Shu, so we are recruiting here, and he is fully assisting." Seeing that the team rate was a little overwhelmed, Tai Shici poured cold water on him: " If we change to another place, where we don’t know each other well, how many people do you think can trust us?”

The team leader, who was a bit complacent, couldn't help but sink when he heard Tai Shici say that, he knew very well that it was all true.Without the help of the yamen servants, even if his conscription flag was set up, few people would come to sign up.Later, it was the yamen servants who went to the streets to attract people, and people signed up one after another.

The leader of the team, who became distraught, hurriedly asked Tai Shici: "Pioneer, if we are not allowed to conscript in other places, what should we do?"

In fact, the problems that the team leader was worried about also bothered Tai Shici.Although he used to be Liu Yao's subordinate, stayed in Yangzhou for a long time, and knew many county magistrates and prefects, but now he is Jizhou Muhan Zhan's subordinate.As a member of the Jizhou Army, it is somewhat unreasonable to go to Danyang County to recruit soldiers.

If Yuan Shu hadn't squeezed Liu Yao away and tried to replace the county magistrates in these areas with his own people, presumably the Danyang magistrate would not have been so quick to let him conscript in Danyang County.But in this way, it is also an opportunity for myself. According to the county captain, they have sent yamen servants to the four townships and eight villages outside the city to inform the villagers of the recruiting in the city, and strive to recruit enough soldiers in Danyang County. As for other places, if you can recruit, you can recruit, if you can't recruit, just forget it, don't force it.

In addition to recruiting troops, there is another important thing now, which is to train recruits.If the recruits did not have much combat power when they returned, let alone the Yangzhou soldiers and Xuzhou soldiers they met along the way, they might not be able to deal with ordinary bandits or yellow scarves.

Thinking of this, Tai Shici said to the team leader: "Tomorrow's conscription, you don't have to go."

Hearing what Tai Shici said, the team leader asked in bewilderment: "Pioneer, did you do something wrong?"

"No." Tai Shici shook his head, "You did a good job with the conscription today."

"Since the little one has done a good job," the team leader said aggrievedly, "then why doesn't the pioneer let the little one be in charge of conscription?"

Chapter 433

"Open the gate!" Seeing that Du Bo didn't realize that it was him who called the door, Guan Yu raised his voice and shouted again.

Hearing the voice seemed familiar, Du Bo couldn't help turning his head to look back instinctively. When he saw clearly that the person speaking was Guan Yu, he let out an "ah" and said respectfully, "Young fellow, see Guan Xianfeng!"

Guan Yu didn't talk nonsense with him, but pointed at the Yuanmen with the hand holding Qinglong Yanyue Dao, and ordered coldly: "Open the Yuanmen!"

"Guan Xianfeng." Seeing that Guan Yu was about to leave the camp, Du Bo hurriedly persuaded him, "There are a lot of soldiers and horses coming from outside, and it is not clear whether they are friends or enemies. Xianfeng must not take risks."

"It doesn't matter." Guan Yu twisted his long beard with his hands, and said carefully: "Wait for someone to go and see where the soldiers and horses are coming."

Seeing that Guan Yu was stubborn, Du Bo didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly turned around and shouted to his subordinates, "Open the gate and let the vanguard out of the camp!"

When the soldiers heard Du Bo's shout, they hurriedly opened the gate.Before the door was fully opened, Guan Yu rode his horse out of the camp and headed towards the soldiers and horses in the distance.

Watching Guan Yu's back going away, a soldier asked Du Bo secretly: "Is there any danger for Guan Xianfeng to go out?"

"Who knows who is here!" After Du Bo said to himself, he said to his subordinates: "Keep your eyes open for me, and once Guan Xianfeng escapes, give him back immediately." Open the gate."

The soldiers agreed with a bang, and after closing the gate, they all held weapons and stared at Guan Yu who was going away, ready to open the gate to let Guan Yu into the camp as soon as they found something wrong, and then close the gate to fight the enemy who attacked the camp.

Guan Yu walked towards the soldiers and horses of unknown origin. When he was a hundred steps away, he saw clearly that the soldiers on the other side were wearing military uniforms, but ordinary people's clothes. There were no yellow scarves on their heads, so they should not be yellow scarves. commit.He clamped the horse's belly with his legs and rushed up quickly. When there were still twenty steps away, he reined in the horse and shouted at the opposite side: "Who is your general, come out and speak!"

As soon as Guan Yu finished speaking, he jumped out of the queue. The other party held a rake and said loudly to him, "I am Qing Niujiao, the captain of Jizhou Mu. Who is it, sign up quickly!"

Hearing that the other party said they were Han Zhan's men, Guan Yu immediately guessed that the soldiers in front of him might be from the [-] yellow scarf bandits. The lieutenant has led his troops here, what is the matter?"

"So you are Guan Xianfeng!" When Qing Niujiao knew that the general in front of him was Guan Yu, he hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "I was ordered by General Zhao to lead my troops to obey Guan Xianfeng and Zhang Xianfeng. dispatch."

"According to a certain and third younger brother?" Guan Yu asked in confusion, "I don't understand what you mean, how can you obey our orders at the same time?"

Qing Niujiao laughed twice, and then said: "Guan Xianfeng, I didn't make it clear. Jizhou Mu heard that you lost a lot of soldiers and horses after attacking the city, so he ordered me to bring [-] soldiers and horses to the second dispatched by a pioneer."

After figuring out what was going on, Guan Yu couldn't help being overjoyed. He and Zhang Fei had lost a lot of troops in the recent siege. Han Zhan added [-] troops to his brothers at once. A strong Yellow Turban thief, but better than nothing.

Guan Yu clasped his fists and said to Qingniujiao: "Captain Qingniujiao, Zhang Fei, the third younger brother of a certain, is in a certain camp. If you don't give up, please go back to the camp with a certain one."

Du Bo, who was guarding behind the gate, saw Guan Yu and a man walking side by side, followed by a dozen cavalrymen. He was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that it must be his own people, otherwise why would Guan Yu go back to the camp with the other party.Therefore, without waiting for Guan Yu to return to the camp, he ordered his subordinates: "Open the gate!"

Hearing that the gate was about to be opened, soldiers immediately came out to stop it and said, "Du Bo, if it is the enemy who comes, we open the stockade, and they will take the opportunity to come in?"

Du Bo raised his hand and slapped the other party on the back of the head, and said angrily: "Didn't you see that Guan Xianfeng and the other party walked side by side? If it was the enemy who came, do you think Guan Xianfeng will come back with the other party?" ?”

Guan Yu came to his tent with Qingniujiao, and saw Zhang Fei was still drinking in the tent, so he said to him, "Yide, let me introduce you to Captain Qingniujiao." Zhang Fei heard that the other party It's just a school lieutenant, and judging by his attire, he is obviously a surrendered yellow scarf thief, so he didn't even get up, but just sat on his seat and hugged the opponent.

Fortunately, Qingniujiao didn't care about Zhang Fei's attitude towards him, so he hugged his fists together, and it was right to return the courtesy.Seeing Zhang Fei's indifferent attitude towards Qingniujiao, Guan Yu said to Zhang Fei with a stern face: "Yide, Jizhou Mu knew that our soldiers and horses had suffered a lot in the recent siege, so he ordered Qingniujiao to take it." Ten thousand soldiers and horses came and said they wanted to supplement us."

Hearing what Guan Yu said behind him, Zhang Fei stood up abruptly from his seat, walked quickly to Qingniujiao, bowed to salute him, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Captain Qingniujiao, what a disrespect. Come, I must be sleepy and tired, come, sit down and drink two bowls with me, Lao Zhang."
