[Comprehensive martial arts] I fall into the city

After Zhang Chao left, Li Che checked the map again.

Maps are usually incomplete. The map that Zhang Chao brought has been used for at least a hundred years. It is engraved on a wooden board. It only has the approximate location of a few counties near Guangling. As for the complete map that Li Che wants, it is only about Luoyang. Only in the palace.

But that's enough.

In Li Che's view, the location of Guangling County is unique. The nearby counties are either close to the state capital or have many powerful people. There are no powerful people in Guangling County, but the food production is abundant. Fighting is about brains, and it is enough for a few people to stand in front and play tricks.

Li Che wanted Zhang Chao not to get involved in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and it was enough for Zhang Miao next door to join in the fun. It was real to prepare for the battle and wait for an opportunity to seize the territory.

The thirteen prefectures of the Han family, Guangling County is located in Xuzhou, Zhang Chao’s elder brother Zhang Miao is not far away, in Chenliu, belonging to Yanzhou, the situation is not as good as that of Guangling, but the probability of winning Yanzhou is not small. At that time, the soldiers of the two counties became the soldiers of the two states. As long as the two brothers did not split up, their power would always be higher than others.

But Zhang Chao didn't think so.

He was still very excited when Li Che persuaded him to get ready for battle, but after the next sentence, he became unhappy, and even his face turned cold. Before Li Che finished speaking, he said: "I, Zhang Chao, have no skills. Lumi, work for the Han family, sir, don't mention this in the future."

Li Che realized that he was wrong.

He never expected that in the autumn of troubled times, there would be such a foolish and loyal person. When Zhang Chao disconnected, all the plans he had planned were disrupted, so he had to slow down and straighten his train of thought.

What Zhang Chao said was filled with righteous indignation, and there was also a kind of sadness that he misjudged the person. He didn't have many people available under his account. Before Li Che came, the person he used the most was a gentleman named Zang Hong. Mr. Zang might not be as smart as Mr. Li , but no one can match the heart of being loyal to the Han family.

Li Che suddenly sighed.

Zhang Chao was already about to walk away, but when he heard him sigh, he seemed to have all sorts of difficulties, so he asked subconsciously, "Sir, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Che shook his head and said, "Since the Fujun has already made a conclusion, what else can I say?"

Zhang Chao was startled.

Li Che sighed: "The decline of the Han Dynasty did not happen overnight. It was not caused by Emperor Huan or Emperor Ling. It was because people had their own selfish intentions and formed cliques. The same township is the same party, the same family is the same party, one surname is one party, the monarch has no authority, and the local self-improvement , just like the emperor of Zhou, who wanted to support the Han Dynasty, unless there is someone who can imitate Duke Zhou and cleanse the world!"

Zhang Chao's breath suddenly became chaotic.

Li Che said again: "Is it a big deal to ask for Dong? If you ask for Dong today, who will come tomorrow? If the root cause of the disease is not removed, it will always recur. The opportunity is rare. If you don't take advantage of the heroes of the world, do you think that you will wait for those people?" After the gentry get involved, can they still be expected to be as loyal as the Fujun?"

Zhang Chao was a little hesitant when he was told.

The eight-foot man has a beard, and his emotions are not obvious. He looks a little hesitant in the eyes of others, but he is actually very tempted.

Zang Hong watched coldly and didn't interrupt.

He has already seen through his master, and knows that even if he speaks, he won't get any favors, and instead will be brought into a rhythm.

Zhang Chao was moved.

The so-called war preparations, one is to stockpile food and the other is to stockpile soldiers. Stockpiling troops and stockpiling food are two conflicts. Serving soldiers eat food, which consumes quickly, so there are no forces at this time to raise soldiers. Basically, they are temporarily assembled in wartime However, Li Che asked Zhang Chao to do the opposite, stockpiling food and soldiers.

Even Zang Hong couldn't sit still now. He doubted Li Che's intentions. Autumn was coming soon, and it was the busy farming season. The nine thousand recruits had already recruited all the idlers in Guangling County. How many adult men who can work are willing to put down their livelihoods to serve as soldiers?Forced expropriation is a must, no matter how you look at it, the harm outweighs the benefit.

Li Che waited for Zang Hong to finish, and then slowly said: "Soldiers are trained. A group of farmers who only know how to farm can't go to the battlefield, but they can't say that they give up the autumn harvest. In this way, we should recruit people first, and wait for the busy season. The army uniformly organizes to go to the fields, three shifts rotate, one day of farm work is done every three days of drill, and the more people work, the faster it is done.”

Everyone was stunned.

At the moment, people's brains are still very rigid. A soldier is a soldier, and a farmer is a farmer. If you become a soldier and eat the food of the master's family, how can there be any reason to return to farm?

But when Li Che said that, it seems... that's okay?

At least Zhang Chao was very convinced and immediately sent someone to organize the matter.

Ever since I followed Mr. Li, no, ever since Mr. Li followed him, even his work efficiency has also increased. Basically, nothing will be delayed until the next day.

Li Che thought for a while, and then said: "In addition, Mr. Laofu should pay more attention to some neighboring state capitals. People who know soldiers are rare. If you can find them, don't neglect them."

There are many people in Guangling Liang, but there are no generals, and the few ostentatious soldiers in the army are not as good as Zhang Chao himself. This is also a very helpless thing.

Zhang Chao has practiced martial arts himself, and he respects literati and advisers very much, but he doesn't like to see generals, which may be because Guangling doesn't have many powerful generals.

At the end of a meeting, Zhang Chao left with satisfaction, and only Zang Hong stayed.

Li Che smiled and said, "Brother Ziyuan, do you have anything to say?"

Zang Hong said coldly: "Master felt that the crusade against Dong Zhuo would not be successful, so he instigated the master to seek personal gain, but if someone else succeeds, he will offend the master at that time, I hope the master will not shrink back."

Li Che didn't even bat an eye, he just said: "Qin loses its deer, and the Han Dynasty will fall."

Zang Hong choked with anger and walked away.

Li Che ignored him, picked up the cold teacup on the table, and suddenly remembered that when Zang Hongyi spoke sternly just now, he seemed to be standing next to his teacup.

Li Che immediately put down the teacup. After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, so he smashed it casually.

Li Ning showed her head from behind the curtain, seeing that everyone had really left, she strode out.

There was broken porcelain all over the place, Li Ning couldn't help but said: "If you want to smash good things, you can smash them. Next time, I should replace them all with rough pottery. No matter how much you smash them, you don't feel bad."

Li Che smiled and said, "Okay, change next time."

Li Ning asked: "I heard it just now, if there is no one leading the army, I..."

Li Che took her hand, brought her into his arms, and patted her on the back.

"Okay, this is not something you should think about. Fighting in the rivers and lakes is different from the battlefield. I promise you that if you are needed, I will let you go."

Li Ning could only nod her head.

She is not tall now, and her martial arts are at most equal to Zhang Chao's. It will take at least five or six years to practice to return to the previous level. After five or six years, I don't know what it will be like.

Guangling is a large county, and with the guarantee of autumn harvest, even Zhang Chao did not expect to recruit [-] recruits in just over a month, plus the previous [-] and Guangling's previous troops, the integration was [-].

Fifty thousand troops sounds like a lot, but Guangling's armaments can't keep up. Many people don't even have any iron tools in their hands. I remembered that Zhang Chao had an elder brother in Yanzhou.

Zhang Miao had just heard about his younger brother's conscription in Xuzhou, and received a letter from his family. Zhang Chao expounded on Li Che's theory, encouraged his elder brother to join him, and at the end he embarrassedly offered to borrow money.

Zhang Miao: "..."

Money still needs to be borrowed, even [-] pigs can swallow Zhang Chao alive, and it is easy to get into trouble if he can't pay for the army. At this time, he didn't think much about Guangling's wealth. Can't make money.

It's just that Zhang Miao seriously thought about it for a few days, but he still felt that this matter could not be done. He is not Zhang Chao, and he has no friendship with the nearby state capital or even Xuzhou Mu. He has a good relationship with the governor of Yanzhou and the governor of Yuzhou. Because, and now there is a tendency to challenge Dong in various places, if Zhang Chao does not go, he must go, people say it is terrible.

But Zhang Chao doesn't care about his brother's mental journey.

As soon as the money from Zhang Miao's side was in place, he happily replaced the [-] army with armor and weapons. Seeing that he had made up his mind, several counselors had no choice but to obey. After a short discussion, they decided to attack Tangyi.

Tangyi is not far from Guangling, and it is also a big county, but there are a few powerful families, and after the quick battle, not even a word of it was revealed.

At this time, everyone would be ashamed, and Zhang Chao didn't have the nerve to fly his own flag. It happened that the equipment gathered by the [-] army was all miscellaneous, so he didn't register his number and went directly to the city. The communication between the neighboring state capitals was inconvenient, so many people believed that It was done by the Yellow Turban Army.

Although the leader of the Yellow Turban Army is dead, there are remnants everywhere. When Zhang Chao took action, it was already past the autumn harvest. , but most people are not in favor of returning to aid at this time. Under the general situation, only the county guard of Tangyi refused to lose his territory, and led his troops back to the city for rescue on the day he received the news.

Then he was stunned.

The Yellow Turban Army has been fighting for many years, and its combat strength is not inferior to that of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. However, in recent years, it has become worse than before. The veterans have suffered a lot of casualties, and some of them have become soldiers. Most of the new recruits are peasants, so the Yellow Turban Army has become more and more The easier it is to fight, but this group of yellow turban thieves occupying the town is different. They have ruddy complexions, sufficient physical strength, complete armor, and all weapons are iron, as if they have robbed some big county!

The governor of Tangyi led 1 troops in an attempt to besiege the county where [-] Guangling soldiers had hoarded. Obviously, they were dumped, and most of the troops turned against him. The governor of Tangyi himself was captured alive.

Zhang Chao was a little embarrassed to see him, so he locked him up and served him with food and drink.

After acquiring two large counties, Li Che immediately set his sights on the whole of Xuzhou.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian did not participate in the Kwantung Allied Forces, and there are many remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou. Tao Qian thought that he should not act rashly, but Li Che wanted to move him.
