14. So very good
After the completion of the project, the brothers shouted, "Wizard! God's work! They followed suit, so the names of each house were varied, and finally Wang Bo couldn't stand it, so he made a unified production and unified the name "Bow Battalion" and "Cavalry Battalion...... That's it.
At this time, Wang Bo sat at one end of the long table, patted the table, and asked in a loud voice: "How are the brothers doing in the cottage these days?"
Yang Fengying said: "Everything is fine, the Flying Tiger has guided our army to clear out the two mountain bandits, and the evil people are all beheaded, and most of the people who do not harm the heavens and reason worship in my 'Xinghan Village'!"
"Hmmm! Very good! Be careful to screen, don't let the evil people or the court mix into my village! ”
"No!" The crowd answered. Yang Feng asked again: "Is the lord's trip smooth?"
Wang Bo smiled bitterly and said, "But all geniuses are those who are determined!" Now I have never looked at my 'Xinghan Village', it is difficult! ”
"Humph! What kind of bird is sour and stinky, and the second brother is also pretending to be in person, don't you want to compare yourself with Zhang Liang's strategy, and Xiao Gong's slightly? Huang Long spoke out in hatred. The crowd was also angry and shouted.
Wang Bo waved his hand gently: "Brothers, don't be impatient, if today's loyal and upright people still care about the Han Dynasty, they will also leave a trace of hope in the imperial court." We don't need to be too demanding, we should strengthen ourselves and wait for the future! After speaking, he paused and said: "Although Tian Feng's talent is not as good as Zhang Liang and Xiao He, it is not weaker than the Guan Zhong of the ancient Qi King, and if you make good use of it, it will definitely help me in the great cause of the Yellow Turban!" I will postpone it again in the future, and don't say it again! ”
"In the future, we will strengthen the training of soldiers and soldiers, increase the intensity, and we must not slack off! I have something to think about tonight, and tomorrow morning run is over, and I will discuss it with the brothers. Let's go down! ”
In the evening, Wang Bo discussed with Yang Feng and Xu Chu for a long time, until several people were sleepy and did not disperse.
The next day, everyone sat in the meeting room, and all the chiefs and above, including the passes, and the leaders of the old camp were also called.
Wang Bowei looked around and said: "It has been more than two months since the establishment of my 'Xinghan Village', I wonder if the brothers have ever thought about their future plans?"
Ping Han wondered, "Why do you need to plan? It's just to wait for the day when our soldiers are strong and strong, and then go down the mountain to kill the corrupt officials? ”
"What happens after that?"
Ping Han scratched his head: "After that?" ......" smiled and lowered his head.
Wang Bo swept around the crowd again and asked loudly: "Do the brothers have a belly case?" Everyone looked around and shook their heads.
"It's nothing more than leading the official army to take the strong to encircle and suppress, and the luck is good to escape into the mountains and forests, and the luck may be wiped out, and so on!" In the silence of everyone, he continued: "Rise and fall again, retreat and hibernation, and then rise again, what is the benefit of repeatedly doing this to the great cause of my Yellow Turban?"
Wang Bo paused for a while and then continued: "Why is this so? It's all because all our Yellow Turban brothers have no foundation, and there is no follow-up power to fight! ”
"Will there be enough grain and grass in this mountain?" The crowd shook their heads.
"This mountain can make fine armor?" The crowd shook their heads.
"If Han Ting sends a large army to besiege and cut off the four places, how will we deal with it?" Everyone was at a loss.
"There is no food and grass here, and there is no armor in this place, so why do we live here?" The crowd was still at a loss.
"I mean so! Brothers, please watch it! As he spoke, he motioned for Yang Feng to take out a large animal skin from the corner, unfold it and nail it to the wooden wall, Wang Bo held a thin stick and pointed it on it, "The foundation I am looking for by my brothers lies here." ”
I saw that the animal skin was dotted with stars, lines and roads, round and tortuous. It was covered with handwriting of different colors and sizes. Everyone watched it for a long time, and most of them didn't know what it was.
Ping Han frowned and scratched his head and asked, "Second brother! What kind of ghost is drawn on this hide? Why can't I understand it? ”
Wang Bo scolded with a smile: "Get aside, don't know and talk nonsense!" After everyone laughed, Zhengse said: "This is for me and my eldest brother to rush in a few days!" He also pointed to a few big characters above and said: "The name of this thing is 'Thirteen Prefectures of the Great Han', which is the whole picture of the territory of the Great Han Dynasty." This place is the mountain of 'Xinghan Village' where we are located, this is Julu County, this is Jizhou, this is Sili, and Luoyang, the center of the Han Dynasty. Next to Liang, Jing, Yi, Yan Prefecture, the top is Hugou Xianbei, Xiongnu, Karasuma and other nomadic vast grasslands, and the lower is Merge Zhou, Youzhou! ”
"Oh! I see! Wonderful! A few who understood couldn't help but admire.
"This picture is made by me according to the treasure book of Tian Toyoda Yuanhao! Holding this picture, you can see the world of my great man! After speaking, Wang Bo explained the method of recognizing the map, what is up, north and south, left and west, right and east, mountains and rivers...... Wait a minute
After everyone had an impression, Zhengse said: "We are now in the mountains of Jizhou Zhao State, to the east is Zhongqiu County to Julu, to the south is Wu'an County to Wei County, to the north is House County to Changshan Country, and to the west over the mountains is to merge the state!"
"This place is the place where Guangzong is the 'great sage and good teacher' and 'general of the people' ascended to immortals; This Qingzhou is the place where Bu has become a big canal; This is Yingchuan, the place where Huang Shao and Bo Cai started their troubles! …… It's a pity that now my Yellow Turban brothers are like people! Saying that, everyone was also gloomy.
After waiting for a while, Wang Bo clapped his hands: "Brothers don't need to be sad!" The deceased is gone, and we should follow the unfulfilled wish of the 'great sage and good teacher', and the banner of the Yellow Turban will not fall! Can the brothers save this ambition? ”
"Respect the will of the Heavenly Master! For the livelihood of the people who have suffered for a long time in the world, I have no regrets! Yellow scarves don't fall! Xinghan Wansheng! Yang Feng took the lead and roared.
Everyone also responded loudly: "The yellow scarf does not fall!" Xinghan Wansheng! ”
"Very good!" Wang Bo roared, pointed to the top of the animal skin with the thin stick in his hand, and said: "This place is the place where my yellow turban is reborn!" The brothers looked at it closely: this place is Hengyin Mountain in the north, 100,000 Guji Mountain in the west, and the east obliquely according to the important place, only need to defend the southeast and northeast! It can be used as a place for my Yellow Turban Sect to rest and recuperate! ”
After everyone was silent for a while, Huang Long stood up and said, "Lord! When I was in Youzhou, I heard that this place was called Yanmen County. However, it was abandoned and reduced to a Hu Dog Paradise, and the Han Dynasty soldiers and civilians retreated to the Gouzhu Fortress, which was able to resist the raids of Hu Dogs. There are also breakthroughs from time to time, and there are very few Han people north of Gouzhu Mountain, almost extinct! The thieves have been burning, killing, and plundering year after year, and this is the place of death, how can we survive here? ”
"Brother Huanglong's suspicions are very good, and I will answer. It is precisely because of the retreat of the Han Ting that the thieves retreat every time they taste the plunder, this is a good opportunity for my yellow turban to take advantage of the void, if we live here at this time, the Han Ting will not make a big move, but can only ignore it! ”
"We only need to defend against the thieves in the mountains and gather the cult members, and then we can get a chance to breathe. Besides, the thieves are all bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, don't you hear that the 'Champion Hou' was out of the plug with thousands of elites, and the Hu Dog who killed them fled west with their heads in their arms, bowing their heads and claiming to be subordinate? Now Gongsun Zhan has killed Xianbei with a few thousand horsemen, shocking the Wuhuan tribes, don't dare to commit it! Our Yellow Turban warriors are all hot-blooded men, wouldn't it be better to be a little cavalry captain? ”
"Brothers look at it again: the northwest of this place is a natural and fertile land formed by the alluvial water of the great river, and we can expel the Hu Dog, and we can have both grain production and horse grazing! Such a wide collection of grain and grass, the formation of cavalry, refining armor, less than three years, then the Han soldiers of Wuxing are strong and strong, why worry about the great cause? In the end, Wang Bo was already full of voice, almost shouting.
I saw that some of the people below responded enthusiastically, and some of them were thoughtful. Wang Bo was not in a hurry, and continued: "This is the great plan of my Han army, brothers go down and think about it!" We'll talk about it another day! With that, he turned and left.
Xu Chu and Ping Han followed, and the Niu brothers also went out, and after a while, some of them walked out one after another, and finally only Chen Rong, Tian Chou, Du Yuan and Yang Feng were left. Yang Feng looked at the other three, while Du Yuan and the others stared intently at the map on the wall, thoughtful.
After a long time, Tian Chou and Chen Rong looked at each other, and Tian Chou said: "Let's go! Cease! Cease! What fear do I have of this old bone! Rescued by the Lord, being able to be fed and clothed has been a gift from God, and I will always follow the Lord in this life! With that, they both stepped out of the house.
Seeing that there was no one in the house, Du Yuan asked, "Brother Yang!" The younger brother is not unwilling to follow the master, but the 'great sage and good teacher' is entrusted by him on his deathbed, and I dare not forget it one day! I don't know where the 'holy woman' is now, so I don't know where I ......."
Yang Feng patted Du Yuan on the shoulder and interrupted him: "Brother Xian's Yifeng already knows that the lord is leading the people to the north, and he also needs powerful people to stay here, so as to contact the sect members of my Yellow Turban who are scattered in Ji, Qing, Jing and other places, you can take on this important task!" Besides, it is still early to go north this time, and it is unknown whether the 'holy woman' may be welcomed back during this period, so there is no need to think about it! ”
"So good! So much better! Du Yuan smiled, and the two walked out together.
The next day, everyone came to the "party room" early, and when Wang Bo came in, they all bowed down and saluted: "Lord! We are willing to go! Wang Bo clapped his hands and praised. The crowd was also in high spirits.
After Wang Bo and the others calmed down, he ordered: "Chen Rong and Tian Chou listen to the order: From tomorrow, we will build a wheelbarrow cart and collect materials to facilitate the trek!" We need to travel more mountain roads to the north, and you are responsible for planning what you need! ”
"Yang Feng and Niu Feihu obeyed the order: You are responsible for training our people and making them refine into an army, and the cavalry army is the most important thing! When we go north, we walk along the mountain dust, and we also have the responsibility of exploring the way and escorting, so we must not take it lightly! ”
"Niu Da and Zhang Baiqi listened to the order: You and the two of them will choose dozens of people in the army to explore the north first, or consult the nearby mountain people, or go to investigate in person, and make all preparations for the path of our army to the north!"
"The rest of the people, each doing their duty, don't slack off!"
The crowd agreed.
After the meeting ended, Chen Rong came to the door: "Lord! I want to go to Zhongqiu to inquire about my nephew, but I don't know ......."
Wang Bo patted his head and hurriedly said, "Oops! I was negligent! He complained to Chen Rong again: "You are a little old man! I don't know how to remind Yu Bo of such a major human affairs? ”
Chen Rong said: "Rong knows that the lord is planning for my brothers day and night, and he is exhausted, and he can't bear to look at it, so he ......."
"Don't say much! No matter how busy I am, how can I be in vain! Cow big! Cow big! ”
Niu Da came in and ordered: "Call Niu Er tomorrow, Brother Ru will pick up some mountain goods, follow Mr. Chen to Zhongqiu to visit his nephew, bring more money, don't protect Mr. Thorough!"
"No!" "Thank you, lord!" Wang Bo waved his hand, "Go!" ”
After sitting down, I thought of Tian Feng again, alas! This dead old man is so hard to deal with! I'm afraid it's a chicken and egg fight! Deflated for a while, lying on the soft cushion of the fire kang, I began to think crankily again!
Shouldn't I be looking for another cowman? You can't hang yourself from a crooked-necked tree, can you? Think about the celebrities produced in Jizhou, it seems that they are all from the scholar family, right? I guess I don't look down on my little moth thief! At least not now. Youzhou doesn't have it, right? Except that savages are rough men. And the state? Lu Bu is Niu Bi, but I am afraid that now is the time to be arrogant, and besides, the official fan and the white-eyed wolf, I don't want to give it to anyone, and my subordinates Zhang Liao and Gao Shun ...... Well, let's wait until we get to Yanmen!
Count those from poor families in other places: Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Dian Wei、...... Forget it! They are all fierce people, and now they are half-pulling bodyguards around them, and they are born moth thieves! In case you find a disagreement with the door, what will happen to the master with a knife? Forget it, let's not touch this moldy head......
This time, it was Du Yuan who interrupted Wang Bo's fugue journey, and after coming in to give a salute, he said, "Lord! I...... I want to go down the mountain to find the 'holy woman', so I ......"
Wang Bo stared at Du Yuan with burning eyes for a while, then nodded, "When does Brother Du want to leave?"
"Tomorrow! Far away this trip is as early as January, as late as February, whether it is successful or not, I will return! ”
"In this case, I let Wu Huan and Ping Han accompany you, and the journey can be regarded as taking care of each other!"
"Your lord, no! Only one person and one horse far away, the lord doesn't need to say any more, my mind has been decided! ”
"This ...... That's it! This is a long way to go to the mountains, and the world is sinister! Brother Du is cautious! If you can't do anything, return quickly, and my brothers will help you! ”
"Thank you, Lord! Take care! Far from tomorrow when you are ugly, you will leave, and you will not be bothered to send each other! Du Yuan knelt down on one knee and said goodbye.
When the next day was ugly, Du Yuan led the horse out of the village, and when he turned around and saw a large group of people following behind, Du Yuan turned around and hugged his fists, and said to Wang Bo and others: "The lord is waiting for me to return!" Take care, brothers! After saying that, he turned over and got on the horse, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and disappeared into a white world.
Busy and busy, everything continues, and after the snow melts under the mountain, it is half a month later, and in more than ten days it will enter the second year of Zhongping.
"Xinghan Village" has increased its population a lot compared with before, and the mountains with various large and small forces within a radius of 100 miles have almost been swept away by Yang Feng and others. Wang Bo also sent Tian Chou and Zhou Xiu down the mountain to recruit the hungry and cold displaced people in several nearby counties, and the county magistrate and the gentry were so happy that they closed their eyes and ignored them when they saw that someone was taking in beggars.
The mountains were closed due to heavy snowfall, but the hunting team had a lot of harvest, a large number of dried meat was pickled out and stored, and the earthen dried vegetables left behind in the past were not willing to eat, and they kept making dried fruits, anyway, they were edible in the mountains, and all of them were dehydrated to make dry food. Deer carts, flat poles, and bamboo baskets kept rushing out, and even dozens of load-bearing donkeys and mules were found from the west, which made Wang Bo very happy.
The entire Xinghanzhai wooden house doubled in size, but it still couldn't accommodate everyone, so Wang Bo had to let some people live in the cave first and use smokeless charcoal to keep warm. There is no way to build wooden houses again, the school field is not enough, it is not good to level the ground in other places, and the ground is as hard as stone, and the fire can not be planed for half a day, and finally I had to go to the old camp to build a batch of wooden houses, so that the later generations will not be frozen, and all the latecomers are also grateful to Xinghanzhai and have returned to their hearts.
The population exceeded the 5,000 mark, and the number of soldiers increased slowly, less than 500, but there were more than 3,000 reserve auxiliaries, and in addition to women, children, the old and weak, there were 4 or 500 captives who served as coolies. In the past, many prisoners of war were obedient, and they were basically unconcerned, but Xinghanzhai, a family man, promised to accompany him home every ten days, and when the army went north, he was free to choose whether to go or stay, and then with a sufficient supply of food, so that the prisoners would be grateful to Dade and work harder.
On this day, Wang Bo was on the school field, sweating like rain with Yang Feng and others, Niu Feihu and Wu Huan led a few people to rush over, and dozens of people followed a hundred steps away, all of them were ragged and tattered*** The homeless people under the mountain are not much stronger, but their footsteps are vigorous, and they can feel the killing momentum they exude from a distance. Especially the three people who accompanied Wu Huan were even more dazzling, powerful and powerful, and they knew at a glance that they were strong.
