"If that's the case, then my subordinates will take the carriage instead." Guo Jia smiled when he heard this, and then went back to take the carriage.I didn't sit in the car before, it was because the bumps were absolutely terrible when I was on the road, but if I didn't go on the road, the carriage must be more comfortable!

"Did he come here to ask for confirmation?" Liu Tao began to feel that he had recruited a fake Guo Jia.

Or did you mean that after following him for three years, you managed to make a 'prodigal son' even more crooked?Forget it, just crooked, just don't bend...

Not only Guo Jia, but also Du Xi, who is the author of the book, also changed the carriage together, and Liu Tao was quite speechless.He simply announced that the team should prepare carriages for the scribes accompanying the army and older craftsmen.

Several of the medical craftsmen and craftsmen accompanying the army were in their 50s or 70s.Due to the food and living conditions of this era, he looks about [-] to [-] years old. Liu Tao can take care of him as much as he can. Who makes people really good at medicine and craftsmanship?

Going all the way south, on the evening of the third day, they finally arrived at Luo County.The defenders here saw a large army approaching, and at first they hurriedly closed the city gate.

It turned out that in less than 10 minutes, it was clearly recognized that it was a friendly army, and then hurriedly opened the city gate and went out of the city to meet them.

"Where is Inspector Zhang Yi now?" Liu Tao saw that there were Luo County magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant coming out to greet him, but he did not see Inspector Zhang Yi, so he thought he was just putting on airs.

"The governor is recuperating from his injuries and cannot stay here. Please don't be offended by the general." The county magistrate hastily stepped forward to explain.

It turned out that the day before yesterday, the rebel army came to harass Luo County, obviously it was a test.At that time, Zhang Yi personally boarded the city wall to direct the counterattack. Although the thieves didn't take advantage of anything, the arrows they shot hit Zhang Yi.

Originally, the arrow didn't penetrate deep into the flesh, so it wasn't a big problem, but since yesterday, Zhang Yi's injury began to deteriorate and swell and fester, and the situation began to develop towards the worst.This may also have something to do with Zhang Yi's age. It is normal for people in their 60s to have low immunity.

Wound Infection or Tetanus?Liu Tao felt thoughtful when he heard the words, and said that Zhang Yi was a civil servant with little military power and came to the front to command, which was considered a mess.Ordinarily, it is impossible to take the lead in charging, how could it be attacked and killed by thieves.

It turned out that he was commanding a counterattack on the city wall, and was injured by a stream arrow, and most likely died of tetanus or wound infection.

He can heal this thing, and it can be solved with a "light of purification". The question is, why does he need to heal?This is good, it saves him from playing tricks behind his back, at least his conscience won't hurt so much... Even if he doesn't know whether he still has it.

Having said that, I went to visit it that day.In the end, I was told that Zhang Yi had just passed out and could not visit him.So leave a few words of greeting, and then settle down here now.

It is necessary to ask about the supply of luggage, and there must be a fight, and he has to pay for it himself, and he has to pay for the compensation after the war, right?

Then I learned that the supplies were sent to Taiyuan and Shangdang one after another, and this was not a problem.It's just that the pension needs to be reported to the imperial court, and then waited for by the imperial court to distribute it.

The next day, reinforcements from Wuyuan County also came, led by Wang Shi, this time with [-] cavalry to support.As far as the number of defenders in Wuyuan County is concerned, the cavalry may have been mobilized.

After all, what they were facing was a group of rebels from the Southern Huns, basically cavalry, and it was useless to bring infantry over.As for Liu Tao, his infantry is mainly used to protect the supply troops.

"Captain Wang, long time no see!" Liu Tao stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

"General Liu, it's been a long time!" Wang Shi smiled reluctantly, and if possible, he hoped that he would never see each other again.

"Since Captain Wang is here, let me make an announcement..." Liu Tao didn't care, and immediately announced, "The governor is currently ill and has no command authority. Now, as General Zhenbei, I announce that everything here, Let me take over!"

Chapter 369 The Prologue Begins

"Isn't it a little too much for the general to do this?" Wang Shi didn't expect that Liu Tao would seize power just after he arrived.

"If Zhang Yi said that, then I might explain it a little bit, but for you..." Liu Tao motioned his subordinates to bring a box, opened it and handed him a seal, "Look at this What is it?"

Wang Shi was very puzzled, so he stepped forward to check it, and when he saw the words on the seal, his expression changed immediately.Just because this is the seal of the prefect of Wuyuan County!

"It seems that you understand..." Liu Tao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "In terms of military position, I am the general of Zhenbei, and all the ministries of the border town should be under my command; besides, I have the prefect of Wuyuan The official seal means that in the officialdom, you are also my subordinate, as far as your position is concerned, what qualifications do you have to question my decision?"

"This..." Wang Shi really has nothing to say, no matter whether it is military or official, Liu Tao is above Wang Shi.

"On the battlefield, the most taboo thing is that the command of the various ministries cannot be unified. The counter-rebellion army in Liangzhou has a similar situation, so it started the rebellion almost three years ago, and has not suppressed the rebellion so far.

I have personally been to the front line and know this situation best. Now that the governor is unable to take command, I will personally take over the command... Captain Wang, what doubts do you have? "Liu Tao just looked at Wang Shi like this.

"I... the last general dare not..." Wang Shi really wanted to refute. He had worked hard to guard the frontier for the court for more than ten years, but Liu Tao, a young general who had only been here in Yunzhong for a long time, actually wanted to take him away. military power.

But he didn't dare to refute. He knew better that as long as he refuted even one word, he would be taken down.

"Very good, from now on, the two armies will be merged into one. The supplies and supplies on your side will be kept and distributed in a unified way." Liu Tao was not polite, and directly took the bottom line.

"Yes..." Wang Shi gritted his teeth, and the supplies were taken away, so he could only obediently obey the dispatch.

The real concern is that Liu Tao will deliberately target him. Before meeting him, he knew very well that Liu Tao is not a kind person.

Just say that this kind person will openly poach all the capable officers under his command?Look at the officers behind Liu Tao, they are familiar enough...

It's just that now one or two are obviously in high positions, even in charge of an army alone.Wang Shi couldn't help but admire Liu Tao's courage. This kind of general who dug out halfway can be used so reassuringly.What makes him most helpless is that Liu Tao can give them what he can't give at all...

On the same day, Liu Tao strongly took over the command of the [-] cavalry under Wang Shi's command, and began to reorganize.The three cavalry broke up as soon as they said they would break up, and then they were led by Zhang He, Wei Xu and Wen Chou.As for the original school lieutenants or other Sima, they were assigned to Zhang He and the Wen Chou Department, whose main duty was to protect the supplies.

What depressed the three school lieutenants (Biebu Sima) the most was that the soldiers didn't listen to them, and the three of them were completely dismissed.

As for Wei Xu's original position as a military marshal in Lu Bu's army, he promoted Pang De to command, and he could be regarded as learning from Lu Bu nearby.It's a pity that Ma Dai is still young, let him go to the academy to study for a few years, and didn't plan to let him go to the battlefield so soon.

"For this reorganization, there is no way to fight for at least ten days. The thieves will bypass here at any time and enter Taiyuan and Shangdang to plunder. Is this really good?" Wang Shi gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Tao.

"As long as those Xiongnu cross the border, I will naturally send troops to deal with it. Three to five thousand Huns are nothing to worry about." Liu Tao replied.

Wang Shi didn't know it at all, he had already opened the "wind dragon's insight" on the only way from Xihe County to Luo County in advance.Within this range, he can at least notice whether there is a large enemy army passing by.

Small groups of looting troops can be ignored. If a large group of troops comes, as long as they are less than [-], only [-] cavalry and [-] cavalry archers are needed, which is actually enough to deal with it.

He didn't even know that Liu Tao was waiting here, on the one hand, waiting for Zhang Yi to die, and on the other hand, taking the opportunity to send an order to Zhang Fei in Xianyang, asking him to quickly take over the defense of Wuyuan County.

The cavalry in Wuyuan County should all be brought out by Wang Shi, and the remaining infantry and local defenders are nothing to worry about!

"This subordinate has reminded me that I hope the general will not regret it in the future." Wang Shi tried his best to pretend to be calm, but Liu Tao knew very well that he must be gnashing his teeth in his heart.

"Relax, since I have taken over the military power here, I will be solely responsible for what happens. But I don't want our army to fight with each other at the critical moment when foreign enemies invade. If If such a thing happens, they will definitely be punished severely, so don't let it happen!" Liu Tao looked at Wang Shi.

"Of course my subordinates understand..." Wang Shi nodded, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: I just took away all other people's songs when I first came, and I have the nerve to say that internally, don't fight each other?

In this way, Liu Tao really stayed in Luo County for more than ten days, until the three thousand cavalry completely resigned to their fate, and then accepted the command of Zhang He, Wen Chou and Wei Xu.

Wei Xu was originally an officer of the frontier army. He persuaded these cavalrymen to be obedient and obedient because Lu Bu had already been named General Pingdi, and they would be named generals in the future... More than half of the soldiers and a small number of officers changed orders in a short time.

Zhang He and Wen Chou have their own methods in commanding the army.After ten days, train the soldiers under his command to be obedient.Soldiers admire capable people, and when they found out that these two lieutenants were more capable than the previous superior, they naturally knew how to choose.

One general is incompetent and affects thousands of troops. No matter in terms of ability or future, the former captains are not comparable.

On the night of the tenth day, Zhang Yi finally died.In the past ten days, his injury has been deteriorating, and finally he has a fever, which cannot be lowered no matter what.Finally at night, when the servant who took care of him was about to wipe his body, he realized that Zhang Yi hadn't breathed.

Zhang Yi passed away, and Wang Shi's last straw was gone.Now that Liu Tao is justifiably taking over the military power, there is no one who is capable and qualified to question him.

Liu Tao was kind enough to take care of Zhang Yi's funeral. Due to the special situation at present, he couldn't have a grand burial, but if he could help, he did his best.The old slave of Zhang Yi's family knelt down to thank Liu Tao when he saw this, saying that he was benevolent and righteous.

"I feel like I've turned bad..." Liu Tao sighed while looking at the starry sky alone at night.He had a chance to cure Zhang Yi, but he never did it.

"My lord is only focusing on the overall situation, and my subordinates are still worried that in the ten days, the lord will give birth to a woman again, so he will come forward to treat Zhang Yi." Guo Jia stepped forward to comfort him.

"Everything is for Sanxing Yanhan, everything is for the future of Huaxia!" Liu Tao closed his eyes and kept chanting.This is a kind of self-hypnosis, but he really needs to strengthen his heart.

"Feng Xiao..." After a while, Liu Tao looked at Guo Jia, "The mobilization will start tomorrow, and it may last until next year!"
