Chapter 50: Troubled Times Are Coming
For Xu Chu's expression, Long Jun only had contempt in his heart, everyone had sneaked into your lord's tent and pointed at his throat, you were still stupidly guarding the door outside, quietly raised his middle finger at Xu Chu, coughed lightly and said, "Zhongkang, don't be stupid here, hurry up and order someone to prepare food, besides..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, who heard Xu Chu shouting, had already come to Long Jun's tent, and before he could do anything, Long Jun explained again, and when Long Jun finished speaking, the two of them also looked at Long Jun and Liu Aya with a blinded face.
Long Jun, who was already immune to their IQ, rolled his eyes and said quietly, "Okay, the three of you are stupid here, Zhong Kang hurry up and prepare to eat, you two come here, I have something to explain to you!" ”
The two glanced at Liu Aya, who seemed to be a well-behaved girl, and hurriedly walked to Long Jun's side, Ma Chao asked directly in a low voice, "Master, are you two sure... What's that??? ”
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Afraid that these two boys were asking something embarrassing, Long Jun immediately said, "After dinner, Zilong hurriedly took people to Qijia Village in Zhuxian County to pull things back, remember that the section from Zhuxian to Dongwu must march at night, and the rest of the time after waiting for Dongwu for fifty miles, just be cautious!" ”
"Uncle Shi, don't you need me to go over there?"
"Don't be in a hurry over there, just let Meng Qi pick out two people who are excited to go over by land, and the ship won't leave for the time being. If Tobu's side exposes weapons and equipment that have something to do with us, it will be too dangerous on his side! ”
"Whoa!"
Liu Aya stood aside and listened to Long Jun's mission, and she didn't say much, and she didn't even say anything about Long Jun sending people to mention those military equipment! Of course, Long Jun was happy about this, after all, she was eyeing herself because of that batch of equipment, as well as the master behind her.
After a while, Xu Chu sent the meal to Long Jun's account, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun were also left by Long Jun to eat together, it is worth mentioning that Xu Chu did not prepare Liu Aya's dishes and chopsticks, but Liu Aya didn't care about the other three's looks at all, and sat directly next to Long Jun and picked up the dishes and chopsticks belonging to Long Jun and ate them directly, Long Jun could only sigh that Xu Chu's IQ was not enough.
After the five of them had breakfast in Long Jun's tent, Zhao Yun immediately left, preparing to take people to Zhuxian County, and Ma Chao also followed Long Jun's instructions to prepare people to go to Zhu County.
originally thought that Liu Aya would continue to stay here, but when Ma Chao left, she also left, and she didn't say a word to Long Jun from beginning to end.
After half a month, all the weapons and equipment of the counties were transported back to the county, and the county also sent people to restore the life, Long Jun saw that the soldiers were now in order, and immediately implemented the previous plan, ordering Ma Chao and Zhao Yun to lead 600 men and horses each in the name of protecting the industry, and went to Beihai and Donglai to find small groups of mountain bandits to train soldiers, and he took the remaining 600 people to garrison it.
For three months in a row, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao came with good news, and Yin Zhao also promoted the new wine to Chengyang, Beihai, Donglai and the three places with the promotion of Dazhai and the army, and the good news that followed made Long Jun's heart reassured, now just wait for the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising in the coming year.
At the end of November, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, as well as Yin Zhao who was in Linzi, all returned to their camp, at this time the new wine had covered the entire Qingxu and Xu Prefectures, and even the surrounding Yanzhou and Yuzhou were also sold, and Ma Chao and Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses had more than doubled from the initial six hundred, which was still their mindful of Long Jun's entrustment of the elite soldier policy, otherwise with the progress of the bandit suppression in the past six months, the Long family army could have surged to 10,000.
Looking around at the people in the tent, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun have been out for half a year, their bodies have developed like young men of sixteen or seventeen, and there is a light in their eyes, Xu Chu has spent the past six months by Long Jun's side, although he lacks Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's killing spirit, but he is less immature and more calm, but Long Jun still has a small regret in his heart, there are no ministers, only generals, and they are all teenagers.
After ventilating his own experience, Long Jun said with a serious expression on his face, "Now that the dynasty has collapsed, according to the news brought by Zibo from Xuzhou a while ago, now the ten permanent servants have completely controlled the emperor's daily life, and the ministers will not see our majesty at all." Qingzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yanzhou because of last year's drought, the imperial court disaster relief is unfavorable, and now there are hungry people everywhere, and bandits are rampant! I'm sure you've already discovered this problem. ”
Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Yin Zhao nodded one after another, today's world is simply that people are cheaper than dogs, the common people are in rags, and the rich people have wine ponds and meat forests, so that many people have to fall into the grass.
Taking everyone's expressions in his eyes, Long Jun continued, "Now our team has reached 3,000 people, with sufficient soldiers and horses, and strong morale, we are already a division of a hundred battles, but don't be complacent because of this, in the face of future difficulties, our soldiers and horses can only protect themselves!" So your task may be a little heavier in the near future than before! ”
"My lord, please speak!"
"Zilong, Meng Qi, Zhongkang and the three of them will start to integrate the soldiers and horses tomorrow, unify training, and eliminate the estrangement between the soldiers, don't worry about it, just send something over every month, and try to build an iron army at the beginning of next year!"
The three of them joined hands and clasped their fists and responded, "No!" ”
Turning his head to look at Yin Zhao, Long Jun continued, "Zibo has more tasks! ”
Yin Zhao knew that if things were according to what Long Jun said, then he would need to prepare both food and military supplies in the future. So he replied, "My lord, please speak!" ”
"First, you immediately find a way to promote the new wine to all parts of Dahan, and establish a base in Luoyang to guard there, until we go to Luoyang, you don't easily pass on the news to us, so as not to be noticed! Second, prepare a year's worth of food for the army before you set off and send it here, and third, you need to find a way to find a way to buy war horses during your stay in Luoyang, and the rest just wait for my news! ”
"Whoa!"
After receiving their respective tasks, several people left the main tent one after another, looking at the back of everyone leaving, Long Jun is now full of confidence, although he has not led the troops to fight so far, but in the past six months, he has summarized the art of war he learned in his previous life, and even when Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were fighting outside, he also gave excellent advice.
In this way, in the eager preparation of everyone, it finally reached the end of 183 AD, because of the preparation for war, Long Jun and the others did not return to Guangling for the festival. First toasted a glass of wine to Nan Yao, and when the four of them had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they all entered the camp to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers. When the Long Jiajun learned that the lord personally accompanied them to celebrate the New Year, their morale was even higher.
On a whim, everyone from the Long family army came to the stage one after another to perform a stunt, and even Long Jun also performed the magic of his previous life, which made them stunned.
At the same time, in Luoyang City, Feng Yuanyi, who was celebrating the New Year, received an order from Zhang Jiao, ordering him to quickly transfer to Bazhou, so that Zhongqu Shuai could prepare for the official action on the fifth day of the first month of March.
Just half a month after the news was transmitted, Tang Zhou couldn't stand the pressure, so he personally came out to report Zhang Jiao and Feng Yuanyi to the government, and the court was shocked, and he quickly arrested Feng Yuanyi and cracked the car, and sent people to vigorously hunt down Taiping Dao and arrest Zhang Jiao's family at the same time.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, Zhang Jiao hurriedly activated the emergency contact method and notified the eight states of the early uprising, and in early February, there were uprisings wearing yellow turbans in various parts of the world. And shouted out the slogan of "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the year is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious", within a month, there were wars in 28 counties in seven states across the country, the government was burned, the officials were killed, the Yellow Turban Army was like a broken bamboo, the state and county were lost, the officials fled, and Luoyang was shaken.
Seeing that the Yellow Turban thieves were so powerful, the emperor hurriedly took He Jin as the general, led the five battalions of Yulin to be stationed in the capital pavilion, ordered weapons on the hour, and guarded Luoyang, and set up a garrison at the Kyoto Pass such as Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuyuan, Xuanmen, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin, and at the same time issued an edict to strictly defend all localities, and ordered all prefectures and counties to prepare for battle on their own, train soldiers, order weapons, and gather the righteous army to fight against the Yellow Turban.
At the same time, Huangfu Song asked for the lifting of the party ban on the party, and gave money and food and good horses in the West Garden to the sergeants to improve morale, and the Zhongchang servant Lu Yi also complained about the disaster of the party in Emperor Ling's words for a long time, if the party ban is not lifted, this group of people conspires with the yellow scarf, then the world will be in real danger.
Liu Hong accepted the proposal of the two, granted amnesty to the party members, returned the migrants, and asked the ministers to donate horses and crossbows, and recommended the children and grandchildren of the generals and people with deep strategies to the bus bureau for interviews.
For a while, the world was shaken, and powerful families from all over the country recruited private soldiers.
In mid-April, Long Jun, who was hiding in his training, finally got the news that the imperial court lifted the ban on the party. After ordering someone to report the number of troops to the county order, he immediately ordered someone to gather the Long family's army.
Standing on the platform, Long Jun shouted loudly, "If there is chaos today, the Yellow Turban thieves burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil under the name of serving the people, how can we, as the people of the Han Dynasty, let the thieves run rampant!" Now that the court has given us an official status, it's time for us to serve the court! ”
"Song Feng listens to orders!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Order you to lead a hundred people to garrison the camp, and wait for our good news!"
"Whoa!"
"The rest of the soldiers will be led by me personally, and they will immediately pack up their luggage and set off to Beihai to participate in the suppression of bandits!"
"Whoa!"
"Where is Zhao Yun?"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Order you to take three hundred soldiers as the vanguard first to clear the way for the army!"
"Whoa!"
A flurry of orders caused a large cacophony of people in the camp.
"Are you going to exterminate the Yellow Turban?"
As soon as he returned to the main tent, Long Jun saw Liu Aya, dressed in snow-white, appear in his tent, standing in front of his couch and asking himself.
"Huh. When did you get here? ”
"Answer me, are you going to participate in the extermination of the Yellow Turban?"
Faced with Liu Aya's question, Long Jun was a little confused by the second monk, what did the extermination of the yellow scarf have to do with her, knowing that he couldn't afford to provoke this woman, so he put away his curiosity and replied with a straight face, "Yes!" Without their exploits, the people of my Long family would never be able to stand in the sun! ”
Hearing Long Jun's answer, Liu Ayaxiu frowned slightly, as if she was very entangled, took a deep look at Long Jun and disappeared into Long Jun's tent.
Long Jun is no longer surprised by this, since the forced marriage, Liu Aya has appeared here several times, every time like a ghost, quietly coming, and then suddenly disappearing!
He sighed, "I hope you're okay with them!" ”
After leaving, Liu Aya, before she could walk out of the forest, saw a person standing in the forest who was covered in bandages and only leaked out one eye, his face turned cold, and he asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?" ”
The man couldn't see his expression at all, but replied in a hoarse voice, "The master asked you to kill him, not to save him!" ”
Liu Aya said without any expression on her face: "You are too much!" ”
"I am your senior brother, and no one can disobey what the master has explained! What's more, this son actually started preparing soldiers and horses a year ago to collect money! Now that the senior brother is in a hurry to revolt, it would be better to have fewer such characters! ”
"You're in too much control!"
Knowing that his little junior sister was not good at oil and salt, the bandage man planned to assassinate Long Jun by himself, and sneered and was just about to raise his feet to go to the camp, when the soft sword in Liu Aya's waist had already stabbed at him!
With a soft snort, the bandaged man dodged sideways, and Liu Aya seemed to be able to predict his movements, turning stabbing into slashing. Seeing this, the bandage man directly took out the big knife behind his back and slashed at the soft sword.
The two sides fought fiercely in the forest, all of which were fatal moves, compared to the previous fight with Long Jun, Liu Aya at this time completely showed her martial arts, and her body was like a dancing fairy, which made people incomprehensible.
After a fierce battle for half an hour, neither of the two could help anyone, the bandage man saw this, held the knife with both hands and shook Liu Aya's soft sword, fought his chest and received Liu Aya's palm, turned around and ran.
Looking at the bandage man who had escaped, Liu Aya didn't pursue, but just glanced back at the direction of the Long family's army camp and muttered
"You are going to live to marry me!"
