Cutting generals before the battle has always been a taboo in the army, but fortunately, now Qin Huajun is only on alert, and it is not the eve of the war.

Xu Huang led 5,000 people to walk in the Luoyang and Bingzhou barracks, spent two months, and brought back a total of more than 400 people.

Only a few of these people were on Qin Hua's list, and the rest were either their cronies or people who intended to help them escape.

Before the arrival of the New Year in the seventh year of Xingping, the prison in Chang'an City did not stop, and the screams inside were said to be heard within a kilometer, and the people were in a hurry when they passed by, not daring to stay too long.

Under the heavy punishment, things quickly became clear, and a chain of interests in the army was also dug up by Qin Hua.

These people join forces to deceive those above and exclude dissidents in order to profit from them.

Most of the soldiers who did not want to join were sent to the front by them, but they hid in the safety of the rear.

In addition to recruiting bandits to ransack the families that came to Chang'an, these people even slaughtered ordinary civilians during the war.

This kind of thing was common in Dong Zhuo's era, but Qin Hua would not allow it, and in a fit of anger, he came to a complete purge, wanting to eliminate all the hidden dangers in the general.

Originally, this kind of family ugliness could not be publicized, but Qin Hua openly searched for victims on bulletin boards in various places, asking civilians who had been injured by his own army to come and identify the murderers.

Dali Temple also specially prepared a group of officials to try this case, only if there is a report, all of them will be strictly investigated to the end.

But the problem soon arose, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the army has not been clean, many soldiers are temporarily recruited from the civilian population, or even bandits who surrendered directly, how can these people not have the slightest stain?

As the case progressed, more and more people were involved, and in the end, even Yang Qiu and other generals who followed Qin Hua first were involved.

Seeing that the matter is getting bigger and bigger, the commanders of the various armies can't sit idly by.

The generals of all the armies, led by Ma Teng and Han Sui, all sent letters to Qin Hua, hoping to put down the incident as soon as possible.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun also sent letters from the front, believing that if they continued, it might be detrimental to the upcoming war.

In the end, Guo Jia thought of a way to let these soldiers make up for their mistakes and use them to compensate for their mistakes.

All those found guilty must be rewarded for their mistakes in the subsequent wars, and until their sins are atonest, their salaries are halved, and they are not entitled to vacation, and they are required to remain in the army all the time.

Although Qin Hua was still very angry, he also knew that it was no longer possible to go on like this, because before this, he had already killed nearly a thousand people who had committed the most heinous crimes and had conclusive evidence of their crimes.

The new plan was rolled out, and the sergeants were relieved, especially those with evil intentions.

However, the effect is also obvious, the discipline in the army is clear, originally many soldiers will go to nearby towns to play in their spare time, but after this incident, they all stay in the army honestly and train hard every day.

Because they also understood one thing from the new policy, as long as they have enough military merits, then some minor mistakes can be avoided.

After this incident, Qin Hua also discovered a problem, that is, according to the current army policy, the non-commissioned officers and generals in the army are likely to form factions. It's okay now, I can still hold it down, but when I get old or die, will there be a situation like Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe and self-reliance?

"Lord, Yuan Shaojun has completed the whole army, and three days ago he set off from Wei County to take Liyang. Yan Liang led a vanguard army of 100,000 to besiege Baima. ”

"How many troops did Yuan Shaojun dispatch in total?"

"The whole army has 200,000 cavalry, 300,000 foot soldiers, and nearly 200,000 baggage troops, totaling 700,000 troops, known as one million."

"Oh, that's scary."

Although Qin Hua said this, there was not the slightest fear in his tone.

"Command all the armies, hold on, wait and see, wait for my order."

"Yes."

Ordered someone to take the sand table, and Qin Hua watched the current situation with Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Xun You.

"Gongda, what is Cao Jun's situation now?"

"The main force of Cao's army is 120,000, and it is still in the whole army, and there are 50,000 troops under the command of Cao Ren, the Taishou of Dongjun, and now they are in a stalemate with Yan Liang in Baima. Because Yuan Shu Chen had 100,000 soldiers, Cao Cao did not dare to transfer all the troops in Xuzhou, and Li Dian and Chen Deng's father and son led 30,000 troops to guard Yuan Shu. ”

"Does Cao Jun have any other reinforcements?"

"According to our tip, Cao Cao has persuaded Jiangdong Sun Ce to attack Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou also sent troops to attack Yuan Shu at the same time. This Liu Biao has always been at odds with Cao Cao, and I don't know why he is willing to send troops this time. ”

"Hmph, Liu Biao probably knows."

Qin Hua was very clear about Liu Biao's intentions.

"The lord knows?"

"Well, the jade seal of the country is in Yuan Shu."

Qin Hua didn't say much, but all the people here were smart people, and they understood it at once.

Now Liu Xie is almost Cao Cao's puppet, without the slightest real power, in case something happens to Liu Xie, with the jade seal in hand, he can be justified as the emperor, especially Liu Biao, a Han clansman.

"So there's nothing wrong with Cao Cao's rear."

"Well, the only variable should be Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, but Zhang Xiu only has less than 50,000 troops, and the impact is not very big. And Cao Cao's envoy has also been to Zhang Xiu's place, although Zhang Xiu has had a feud with Cao Cao before, but he should not be a person with a mouse's eyes, and he must also understand the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, if Cao Cao is defeated by Yuan Shao, it is impossible to resist Yuan Shao's army with his strength. ”

"By the way, how is Liu Bei now?"

Liu Bei hasn't moved much recently, and Qin Hua almost forgot about him.

"Wait a minute."

Jia Xu didn't care too much about Liu Bei, so when Qin Hua asked, he had to check the news sent by the Nighthawk first.

"Well, Liu Bei joined Cao Cao's command, and he had already led his headquarters of 8,000 troops to Xuchang ten days ago."

"Half of this Liu Bei's army was sent to him by Cao Cao, and it is estimated that Cao Cao recruited them. However, this Liu Bei is also a character, he only needs to return Cao Cao's soldiers, and he will be willing to take the initiative to participate in the war. ”

Xun You waited for Jia Xu to finish speaking, and then said.

"Haha, don't underestimate this Liu Bei, this person is definitely not an ordinary person."

One of the future overlords of the Three Kingdoms, Qin Hua believed that with Liu Bei's gaze, he must know that he had to stop Yuan Shao, which should be the reason why he joined Cao Cao's side.

Just as Qin Hua and the others were checking the sand table, a soldier suddenly walked in, and it turned out that there was information from Nighthawk again.

But this time it's not from Yanzhou, it's from Yizhou.

"Liu Yan died?"
