I am a boss in the Three Kingdoms [System]

After discussing all the matters, Mi Yan walked slowly back to the room with the food box in hand, and found that the person on the bed was still in the same position as when he left the room, and it seemed that he hadn't woken up.

When Mi Yan put the food box on the table, she keenly noticed that the quilt moved slightly, but it was not lifted.

He got it.

"Could it be that I was too presumptuous last night," he said in a serious voice, "I can't, I'm obviously very restrained—it seems that our Wen Ruo's body is too weak, and we need to exercise with Mr. Guo Jia."

Xun Yu: "..."

This man is enough!He's in good health, and even if he doesn't know how other people are, he knows there's nothing wrong with him.

It is obvious that this person is very talented, but he still laughs at him?

Oh, I went to practice martial arts with Guo Jia for a run, and later people asked why.He replied: A few days ago, I was so sleepy that I couldn't get out of bed, so I was asked by the lord to exercise hard.

Does this still make him a man? !

He simply didn't pretend anymore, lifted the blanket and gritted his teeth: "I am clearly aware of the master's ability, so there is no need to underestimate yourself."

Mi Yan couldn't help laughing.

He laughed for a long time, seeing that Wen Ruo wasn't so thin-skinned anymore, he straightened his rarely messy black hair, and said with a smile: "I won't tease you, come quickly and have porridge."

The porridge is lean meat porridge with diced lamb, shredded cabbage, and a handful of mung beans.This will have been boiled until it is fragrant, soft and glutinous, and extremely delicious.

Xun Yu was indeed hungry, and ate gracefully and cheerfully, while listening to Mi Rian discussing the expedition matters they discussed.

On this expedition, he took Xun Yu, Xun You, Huang Zhong, and Zhong Yao with him, and played all these people with him.He first led the troops to station in Hanoi County, and then he led half of the soldiers and horses to travel through Taiyuan and arrive at Yangqu.

The remaining half of the soldiers and horses were led by Xun Yu and Zhong Yao who were stationed in Hanoi County, and they planted winter wheat in the fields.

After hearing this arrangement, Xun Yu did not object.

There is no way, the war is tight and there is not enough food and grass. At most, they can survive this winter, and the rest can only be self-sufficient.

It is also an expedient measure for him and Zhong Yao to farm the fields.

As for Mi Ren, when the soldiers arrived at Yangqu, he would guard there and confront Tu Gehu.

The main reason for this arrangement is that most of Tu Gehu's forces are concentrated in Taiyuan, and they want to take down Yangqu in one fell swoop.

Yangqu is the backbone of Taiyuan County, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.If they can take this place, the northern and eastern parts of Bingzhou will fall into their hands.

At that time, Tu Gehu can completely garrison here and unite with Liangzhou soldiers, easily capture the entire Bingzhou, and then go south to attack Sili where Jingluo is located.

So they must keep Yangqu.

After winter, when the next spring when the wheat is ripe, Zhong Yao led Huang Zhong and [-] soldiers and horses to set off from Shangjun to Dingyang.

Then the two armies went north together to resist Tu Gehu.

Zhong Yao has the ability to lead the army, and Huang Zhong is extremely brave. It is no problem for the two to cooperate to wipe out that part of the rebel army.

Xun Yu nodded repeatedly.

After finishing his warm porridge, he rinsed his mouth and asked, "Where's Ah Yun, aren't you taking him with you on this trip?"

Mi Yan said: "There are other arrangements."

Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, and Ren Gu were arranged by him to send Mi You back to Qu County with more than a hundred people.

Xun Yu agreed with this very much: "It is true that you should be sent back to Qu County."

All of them are not in Jingluo, and they may not come back for nearly a year.One year later, Mi You will be 13 years old, which is the age to marry here.And Liu Hong's spirit is getting crazy day by day, he doesn't know what to do to Mi You someday when he thinks about it.

It would be better to send her back to her hometown and let her family and Xuzhou Mu Lu Zhi look after her.

After the two said this, they fell silent.

Seeing Mi Ren staring at him with a smile, Xun Yu felt his face getting hot again.

He wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "...Then, shall I handle official business?"

Hearing this, Mi Ren laughed again.

But he didn't tease this person anymore, and he was afraid that if he teased him hard, he would get angry, and that would be bad.

Why don't you behave well tonight and let Wen Ruo get used to it earlier.

"Go," he said casually, "if you're tired, come back earlier and rest."

The one who answered him was Xun Yu's strange eyes with unclear meaning.

Three days later, Mi Ren led the troops to leave Jingluo amidst the attention of all the people; and seven days later, they arrived in Hanoi County at the border with Bingzhou.

It is the eighth day of September.

Autumn in Hanoi County is withered and bleak. The green grass on the campsite has long been withered and yellow, and it has fallen into the soil and rotted from the roots.This year seems to be cold earlier, and it will be a hard winter.

On such a day, going north to conquer Tu Gehu seemed particularly miserable.

Some soldiers were recruited from Taiyuan, and they knew the winter in Bingzhou very well.

The treasury was empty, and the soldiers were only given a set of sackcloth and winter clothes stuffed with straw.Even in Jingluo, this kind of equipment will freeze half your life to death in three or nine days, not to mention going north to Yangqu!

They were terrified in their hearts, they couldn't help but told a few comrades about this, and within two days, it was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and people were already in panic before they went to the battle.

Xi Zhong listened, and said: "This winter is very cold, our army going north will be exhausted and unable to fight against Tu Gehu in the north. If things go on like this, it will be difficult to win. Can my lord have a solution?"

Compared with the north, the Central Plains area is much warmer after all.In the counties of Bingzhou to the north of Yangqu, snow has been falling continuously since October, and the field of vision is all white, which is not conducive to soldiers fighting at all.

And it is impossible for them to fight Tu Gehu back to their territory within October, and they will inevitably stretch the battle line across the entire winter, and they will not be able to attack until spring.

In this way, the first problem faced is whether the soldiers can survive the winter in the north.

Mi Ren is currently practicing soldiers and horses in front of the sand table, and she smiled when she heard this: "Zhicai doesn't have to worry, I have already made arrangements."

After he finished speaking, all the soldiers waited here for three days.Afterwards, someone brought cart after cart of clothes, which filled the open space in the camp, and all the counselors were so surprised that they all raised their heads to watch.

When I opened it, there were jackets made of linen.It looks very rough, but it feels soft and warm to the touch.

All the counselors were stunned, Xun You wondered, "The clothes are extremely warm, what kind of fabric are they made of?"

Xun Yu, who already knew Mi Ren's industry well, explained: "The outside is made of linen, and something called cotton is stuffed inside."

In this era, the common people did not grow cotton. When Mi Ren was studying, he invited a caravan to go west along the Silk Road and found cotton after a year.Later, he sent people to plant and weave it into cotton cloth for sale to the gentry. Although it was not as expensive as silk, it was also a fabric favored by the rich and powerful.

After earning money, they have expanded their planting in recent years, and have industries in Xuzhou, Yizhou, Western Regions and other places.Over the past five years, the inexhaustible amount of cotton has been piled up in the cellar and occasionally turned to dry.

——As long as it is stored properly, cotton can be preserved for decades without decay.

This will distribute more than 2 cotton-padded clothes to the soldiers one after another, and only use up more than [-]% of the improperly stored items in the inventory.

Now, the entire barracks is boiling!

The counselors were shocked by Mi Rian's generosity: they were all gentry, so they naturally knew how popular cotton, a new cloth, was among the gentry.

Although I don't know how much cotton is needed for a piece of cotton cloth, and how much cotton is needed for a cotton coat, but this is too expensive, right? !

As for the [-] soldiers who received cotton clothes, they couldn't believe it.

They stayed for a long time, and then carefully stroked the cotton-padded clothes that had been handed out, feeling the warmth and softness of their palms.Those who reacted hurriedly put on and tried them on.

It's not the right size, but it's extremely warm.After only wearing it for a while, they were so hot that they sweated, so they hurriedly took it off and put it away carefully.

Then he stared at the padded coat with a smirk, and suddenly burst into tears and wailed for a long time.

They are just ordinary people, not even human beings in the eyes of many gentry!But grass mustard, cattle and horses, and slaves!Even if Bingzhou is severely cold, they will freeze to death, but what does it matter?

As long as the nobles are fine, Jingluo is fine, and Tu Gehu can't get in, that's fine!

But Mi Guoshi——Mi Guoshi actually took them into consideration and gave them such warm clothes!

And I heard that the thing called cotton in it was originally used to make clothes for the gentry!

All of a sudden, the entire barracks was filled with sobs, and almost everyone held their cotton coats and refused to let go, their gratitude to Mi Ren reached the peak!

This is Master Mi!No wonder all those who have received his favor say that he is a god-like figure!

What does it matter if you do things like cows and horses, or even sacrifice your life, for such a person? !

As for the [-] soldiers who did not receive the cotton clothes and would be left in Hanoi County to grow winter wheat, they were also envious.

ah!They also really want new cotton clothes! !I still want to follow Mi Guoshi to the north, but I don't want to stay in Hanoi County to farm the fields at all! ! !

All of a sudden, the centurions in each battalion received this request from the soldiers one after another, and even many of them were left in the camp to plant, and they reacted emotionally to their superiors.

Then there was a step-by-step response from the commander-in-chief. In the end, several school lieutenants went into Mi Rian's camp to discuss the number of expeditions together, and almost fought over it.

Seeing the lieutenants fighting, the counselors who were blushing: "..."

Well, morale is fully up, don't worry anymore.

As for the counselors and school lieutenants, the cotton coats they got were naturally better than those of the soldiers. They were wrapped in cotton cloth, and there were two more in rotation.Although it wasn't some rare clothes, everyone was very happy and felt that the lord/national teacher was good to them!

After solving this trivial matter, Mi Ren led the troops to Yangqu.

When parting, he hugged Xun Yu who was staying here.Then, at an angle that no one could see, I kissed him on the ear, and said softly but firmly, "Wait for me to come back, Wen Ruo."

So Xun Yu's tense and worried heart in the past few days suddenly calmed down.

On another ten days, the army arrived at Yangqu.

The imperial edict had just been received a day ago, and the newly appointed governor of Bingzhou led more than ten people to welcome Mi Ren.

In today's state shepherd's time, it is abolished, and in Bingzhou, only the governor is set up.The difference between state herdsmen and governors is that state shepherds can raise troops and lead them to expeditions, while governors are only for supervision and management.

That's why Mi Eun asked Liu Hong to make Lu Zhi the shepherd of Xuzhou.

Seeing Mi Ren, the new governor of Bingzhou finally relaxed his complexion, raised a sincere smile and saluted: "Official Ding Yuan, pay homage to Guoshi Mi!"

The new governor's name is Ding Yuan, and his style name is Jianyang. He is from Nancheng County, Taishan County, Yanzhou.He is tall and tall, and although his face is ordinary, he is very upright and kind, and he makes people feel good when he looks at him.

Mi Yan naturally returned a salute: "Inspector Ding, I have just arrived in Yangqu and I don't know how the battle is going, so I need your guidance."

Ding Yuan hurriedly said, "Master Mi Guo speaks seriously", the two exchanged a few words along the way, and then explained the current situation in detail.

After Zhang Yi, the former governor of Bingzhou, was killed by Tu Gehu, Ding Yuan led more than [-] soldiers and horses, fighting while retreating with difficulty, fighting against Tu Gehu.He originally wanted to retreat to Hanoi County and wait for the imperial court to rescue him. After all, Liangzhou is now in rebellion, and the imperial court can't take care of it.But when he heard that the imperial court had sent Mi Ren over, he immediately gained confidence.

After the first battle of the Yellow Turban Army, Mi Yan's reputation among the generals was greatly enhanced. Many people believed that he had the ability to lead the army, and they were very optimistic about this young general.

At present, Tu Gehu is stationed in the basin north of the Taihang Mountains where Yangqu is located, because they are all cavalry, and it will take a huge price to capture the rugged Yangqu; The soldiers and horses can't go out to fight with them.

After listening to Ding Yuan's explanation, Mi Yan ordered people to make a sand table, planning to get out the topographic map first.

At this moment, there was a sound of beating drums outside, resounding in Yangqu City.

Ding Yuan's complexion changed: "Not good, Hu Yanhao, Tu Gehu's fierce general, came to the gate of the city again to shout!"

Calling the formation is also the so-called "one horse fight". Although it is not the mainstream way of fighting at present, provoking the enemy in front of the formation can damage the morale of the opponent to a certain extent.

There is a similar method in Sun Tzu's Art of War: against a brave and easily provoked enemy, provocation can easily make the opponent lose his mind.Applying this method to siege or tug-of-war can play an extremely effective role.

Mi Yan pondered and said: "This Hu Yanhao, does he come here often to call for battle?"

Ding Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, then Hu Yanhao leads more than ten thousand soldiers and horses every time, and leads a few fierce generals under his command to insult our army under the city gate! If our army fights, we will hit the opponent directly!"

He was furious: "Tu Gehu is extremely shameless and does not abide by morality at all! Once our soldiers go out of the city to fight, they will send three or five people to fight against him until they kill him! During this time, the officer Three good generals have been lost!"

Even he himself was almost beheaded in front of the battle.

But if you don't leave the city and let the other party yell and scold, the morale of the army in the city will decrease day by day, and the pressure and despair will increase day by day.

During the conversation between the two, they had already reached the city wall.

Mi Yan saw a burly man holding a gun, wearing armor and fur, sitting on a tall maroon horse, laughing and cursing at them.

Although the sound transmitted to the ears was very weak, everyone could still hear some of it.Judging from his actions, he can probably guess eight or nine.

The eyes of all the soldiers in the city were shattered, they wished they could open the city gate and rush down to fight.A soldier guarding the city was furious: "Master Mi, since you have brought troops here, can you open the city gate to fight?!"

Ding Yuan scolded: "Shut up, how can you be disrespectful to the national teacher! The national teacher has his own arrangements!"

"Jianyang doesn't have to be like this, I understand the grief of the officers and men." Mi Ren said, "They dare to provoke our army like this, they must be fully prepared, and want to take advantage of our army's arrival here and don't understand the battle situation. Our army has wiped out everything."

The eight-foot man heard the words, his eyes turned red: "Then let this man insult us in front of the battle?!"

Mi Yan didn't answer, but turned to look at the man.

He estimated the distance, and then asked, "Han Sheng, can you hit the opponent at this distance?"

Among them, he had a higher aim than Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong's range was farther than his.Just before the expedition, he also gave Huang Zhong a bow and arrow improved by later generations, which allowed him to shoot farther without affecting strength and accuracy.

Whether there is a loudspeaker in this era, it is generally not more than a hundred steps to hear the opponent's call. Even if it is shot obliquely, it should be within Huang Zhong's range.

Hearing this, the officers and men of Yangqu City all looked at Mi Ren with different expressions.

...No, does Guoshi Mi have any experience in defending the city?Wouldn't it be too much to take for granted to want to shoot the caller to death?

You must know that no matter how good a shooter is, it is impossible to hit the opponent from such a long distance!

Huang Zhong said respectfully, "You can give it a try."

After finishing speaking, he took out the longbow on his back and pointed it at Hu Yanhao.

Everyone felt suffocated when they saw it.

One dares to ask, the other dares to answer!Did he think he was Yang Youji, the rumored sharpshooter of the Warring States Period, who could penetrate Yang with a hundred steps when he co-authored it?

Everyone looked at each other in silence.Seeing this, Hu Yanhao on the opposite side also burst out laughing.

He pointed at his head and mocked, "Is it possible that your Han army is sick here, and you even shoot arrows at this general?! Hahahahahaha, this general is here, you can shoot this general if you have the ability!"

The Tu Gehu soldiers behind him also laughed, mocking the new face on the city wall for his overreach.

But at this moment!

A sharp arrow, surrounded by the sound of wind and howling, shot in front of Hu Yanhao with lightning speed!If Hu Yanhao hadn't subconsciously tilted his body, the arrow would have pierced his vitals, seeing him shoot and kill him in front of the formation!

Even so, he was still shot in the left shoulder!But the sharp arrow's trend continued unabated, and he was pushed back a bit, almost falling off his horse!

There was a sharp pain in his left shoulder, and Hu Yanhao's pupils suddenly constricted.

The laughter of the soldiers behind him also stopped abruptly.
