Chapter Eighty-Eight: Many Disasters and Difficulties

In this era, the training of the army is practiced once a week, and there are even some lazy troops who practice once every two weeks, but Cao Xing is reforming the training standards with reference to later generations, and the soldiers he trained must be the best in the world. At the same time, this is also a goal that Cao Xing gave himself in his heart, the troubled times are coming, he must train a soldier and horse to sweep the world.

Although Cao Xing's training standards seemed normal in later generations, they looked a little inhumane during the Three Kingdoms period, which undoubtedly increased the burden on the soldiers.

However, Cao Xuan did launch another benefit, that is, at least one meal of meat a day, whether it is fish, chicken or pork, anyway, there is meat. In this era, if you can eat one meal of meat a day, it is definitely the standard of rich and noble families, but I never expected that ordinary soldiers can now enjoy this standard.

Maybe even Cao Xing didn't expect that it was precisely because of the launch of his restructuring that it set off a wave, because from Bianyun County to the increase in foreign population, many people have settled here, and the family has a relatively large population, such as a family with two or even three brothers, he is an adult male who works at home farming, and the other is very likely to choose to join the army, after all, there is meat every day, and everyone wants to.

Cao Xing took advantage of the situation and recruited 1,500 soldiers from the outside world, among them, Chen Hu also found a way to get 500 excellent horses from the outside world, these war horses are strong and full of endurance, and it is best to use combat horses.

Now the defensive strength of Bianyun County seems to be very sufficient, Cao Xuan began to distribute the training of soldiers, Chen Hu's current position is the county lieutenant, and all the soldiers naturally have to listen to his orders, but during peacetime, it is necessary to leave a thousand soldiers and horses to defend the city tower, so there are only 2,000 people who receive training every day, and these two thousand people, Chen Hu leads 1,000 people, and Zhong Qi also leads 1,000 people, as for the remaining 500 people, Cao Xuan himself commands.

However, Cao Xing still followed his original idea, in order to train the strongest soldiers and horses in this era, so he adopted a method of elimination at the end.

In units of 1,000 people, the daily training is divided into morning and afternoon, and in the morning I practice basic exercises, queue running, etc., but in the afternoon it is competition.

Whether it is shooting training or charging and stabbing, everyone has to show their real skills, and Zhong Qi and Chen Hu are responsible for assessing the condition of each soldier, and finally select the one hundred weakest soldiers from them, and the situation of the one hundred weakest soldiers is a bit miserable, because not only can they not get a sumptuous dinner, but they can only watch others eat on the side, and they are drooling on the side.

If you want to change this situation and let yourself eat hearty food at every meal, then you can only train hard, and when you compete the next day, you can show your strong strength and enter the nine hundred people, and no longer be the last hundred people.

Therefore, in Cao Xing's troops, the current training is very crazy, and the current crazy training of these soldiers will be their life-saving capital on the battlefield.

Seeing this, Cao Xuan finally nodded with satisfaction, and the military training in Bianyun County was gradually on the right track.

It was the middle of May, and on this day, Cao Xingben was practicing in the army, but Fengyun suddenly broke in.

Seeing Feng Yun come in, Cao Xuan knew that something was definitely wrong, these days when he was not in the county office, he threw all his official duties to Feng Yun, anyway, Duan Ke also turned a blind eye to these things, so these things were carried out in an orderly manner.

Cao Xuan threw the team to Zhou Cang, took off his armor, changed into official uniforms, and then hurriedly left the barracks with Fengyun and walked into the county office.

Seeing Duan Ke sitting on the main seat at the moment, looking at a piece of paper, his brows were tightly locked, Cao Xuan immediately walked up and asked, "Duan County Order, what happened!" ”

Duan Ke looked at Cao Xing and nodded, and without saying much, he directly handed the paper into Cao Xing's hand, Cao Xing quickly read the content on it, and the whole person was quite surprised.

This is an urgent message from the government, and the place that came was Xinxing County, Xinxing County is located in the east of Jiuyuan County, if Xinxing County goes a little further east, it will reach Changshan County, and Changshan County will be under the jurisdiction of Jizhou.

The reason why Xinxing County sent an urgent intelligence is also very simple, the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro have erupted again, and now there are more than 70,000 people, and they have begun to attack Jizhou and Bingzhou.

While Xinxing County sent urgent information to ask for help from the Assassin of the Prefecture, it also sent this information to the other major counties, so that the other major counties could also prepare in advance to prevent being raided by the Yellow Turbans.

Cao Xing slowly put down the information and took a deep breath, the Yellow Turban Uprising originated from Zhang Jiao, but after Zhang Jiao died of illness, most of the Yellow Turban Army was extinguished by the imperial court's Huangfu Song Zhu Jun and others, but there were still some people living all over the world.

One of the most famous of these is the Black Mountain Yellow Turban. Since the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, many of the generals of the Yellow Turban Army have begun to hide in Tibet with their own troops.

At the junction of Bingzhou and Jizhou, there is a Taihang Mountain, the mountain range stretches endlessly, and it happens to be a place where the mountain is king, so there are many Yellow Turban generals, so they hid in the Taihang Mountain, and started their business of killing people and goods, in fact, it is almost the same as ordinary bandits.

But because these people are from the Yellow Turban Army, so there are more or less traces of the Yellow Turban Army, they began to get closer, huddle together for warmth, according to the historical records of later generations, the Yellow Turbans in Montenegro are as many as one million, which is a huge force.

The Yellow Turban of Montenegro lives on the Taihang Mountain all the year round, because the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the government has encircled and suppressed many times in vain, and the Yellow Turban soldiers are numerous, so this Yellow Turban of Montenegro has not been exterminated for a long time, but is still developing and growing.

If Cao Xing is not mistaken, the current leader of the Yellow Turban in Montenegro should be called Zhang Yan. What is this Zhang Yan's ability? Cao Xing doesn't remember very clearly, but he still inherited the essence of the previous Yellow Turban Army, and if he wants to obtain resources, he will rely on burning, killing and looting. It was not until Cao Cao unified the north that Zhang Yan finally surrendered to Cao Cao, and the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro were all destroyed.

But that's all in the future, Cao Xing now has to consider the top priority, the Montenegrin Yellow Turbans are tens of thousands of people, this time they came to Bingzhou, it is nothing more than looting everywhere, and according to the intelligence, a group of Montenegrin Yellow Turbans are now rapidly advancing westward, and it is very likely that they are coming in the direction of Bianyun County.

Seeing this, Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Bingzhou is really a place of many disasters, he just repelled Xianbei a few days ago, and now what is the Yellow Turban Army. It is no wonder that the population of the state has withered and the economy has been underdeveloped.

Duan Ke asked Cao Xuan what he thought about this matter, and Cao Xuan thought for a moment before saying.

"Duan County Order, the intelligence shows that the Black Mountain Yellow Turban has at least tens of thousands of people who have come to loot this time, and if you want to extinguish it, you may have to rely on the strength of the assassin side, and our few small counties can't resist it!"

The intelligence said that the Yellow Turban Army had 70,000 people this time, but the intelligence was not necessarily accurate, after all, the Yellow Turbans in Montenegro were all from poor backgrounds, and they may only have 50,000 or even 30,000, but in any case, these numbers are more than the total population of Bianyun County combined, and if you want to completely extinguish this Yellow Turban Army, you may only have to let the Thorn Shi bring people to eliminate it.

However, what Duan Ke was worried about was here, although Xinxing County had already sent urgent information to Thorn Shi's side, but Duan Ke didn't know what their Bianyun County would be like when Thorn Shi rushed over with his troops?

Cao Xuan seemed to see Duan Ke's thoughts, he patted Duan Ke on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Duan County Order, you can rest assured, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, although it is impossible for me Cao Xuan to defeat all the Yellow Turban Army, but to keep our Bianyun County, there is absolutely no problem!" ”

With Cao Xing's words, Duan Ke's heart also felt a little more stable.

Just two days later, the news that the Yellow Turban Army had broken through Xinxing County and had reached Jiuyuan County spread throughout Jiuyuan County with the momentum of beacon fire, and many people were so frightened that they fled in a hurry when they heard the news.

Cao Xing also made full preparations for this, he asked Fengyun to take many officials to the street every day to publicize, so that the people in remote counties should not panic, and now Bianyun County has finally recovered a little vitality, if everyone just walks away like this, then everyone's previous efforts will be in vain.

"The Yellow Turban of Montenegro is not as terrible as imagined, even if they are numerous, they will not be able to enter our Bianyun County, even if you don't believe me, you still believe in Cao Xiancheng!"

When Fengyun's words came out, the people who were still a little panicked finally settled down, although they didn't understand military affairs, but they were obvious to all before, Cao Xing led people to fight Xianbei, and swore to survive with Bianyun County.

At that time, Cao Xing relied on less than 1,000 people, guarded for four days and four nights, and repelled more than 10,000 people.

It is true that as Feng Yun said, everyone finally got enough land, as long as they work hard, I believe that the coming year will be a bumper harvest, and then everyone will not have to live this kind of life of running around. Everything is going in a good direction, and it would be a shame to take a few steps now.

So someone immediately stood up and said that they chose to believe in Cao Xing, there was the first and the second, and in the end, nine out of ten people in Bianyun County chose to stay.

However, the stability of Bianyun County is in stark contrast to the surrounding counties, and the people in the surrounding counties are not as calm and relaxed as the people of Bianyun County, because the government in them seems to have begun to run away, and the people of Pingtou have no reason not to run, just run, where can they run?
