On a small mound outside Puyang City, Liu Bei stood on it, looking at the Black Mountain Army that was in chaos below, and he liked night battles more and more in his heart.

Night battles, even in the twentieth century, are the most test of an army's true skills. If the morale is not good, if you start a night fight, you are afraid that before you fight, you will run first, and even if you don't run, you will only paddle there, and you will not fight to the death at all. An army with high morale but poor organization will be a swarm when it fights, and in the end, it can only be defeated by others.

And Liu Bei's Qingzhou Army, the degree of organization is not to say, five people have a captain, ten people have a captain, fifty people are a team with a pawn commander and team rate, two teams and one hundred people, there are tun chiefs, deputy tun chiefs, two tun for a song, two hundred people have a qu chief, deputy qu chief, a thousand people have a military Sima, deputy Sima, and then to the captain and lieutenant general above, there is a complete and strict chain of command.

As for the morale of the Qingzhou Army, there is nothing to say, this is a military merit, the generals above may also have to think about it, the soldiers below, who cares who fights, killing a person, or catching a person is a hundred acres of land, or tax-free land, such a good thing, where to find it, this kind of morale is simply the Black Mountain Army, an army that relies on robbery to maintain the morale of the army, can be compared.

Looking at the battle below, Liu Bei's mind has flown to the point where he doesn't know where to go, and at least hundreds of thousands, millions of acres of land, are about to be divided.

For Haoqiang, the more land the better, without paying taxes. But in the case of paying taxes, more land is not always better, because the labor force is limited, and the land that a family can cultivate is limited. If you are given 10,000 acres of land, even if it is only 30 taxes and 1, you will have to pay 100,000 catties of grain, but you can only cultivate 1 or 200 acres, and you will die of exhaustion, and the grain you grow is not enough to pay taxes.

Therefore, this time, Qingzhou broke off the land, engaged in "adding Ding into the mu", and found out a large amount of land, which gave Liu Bei the confidence to continue to use military merits, otherwise, Liu Bei could really only send troops to other states and counties to grab land. The problem is that the current Han dynasty has not completely disintegrated, and the ruling order has not completely collapsed.

The original shouting and killing sound came, earth-shattering, at this time, it has gradually become the sound of surrender, and the sound of "those who surrender will not die" came. The die is cast!

By dawn, the Montenegrin army had been completely defeated, and Bai Rao had also died in the chaos.

In Puyang City, Liu Dai appointed the Dongjun Taishou Wang Qiu, who was awakened by the shouts of killing outside, and climbed to the city wall to watch all night, frightened and trembling. During the day, seeing that the Black Mountain Army was defeated by Liu Bei, and order was slowly restored, he led the officials, Haoqiang, and big clans in the city out of the city to welcome Liu Bei.

Seeing Liu Bei, Wang Qiu bowed down and said: "The prince has come to help, please accept the bow to thank the prince and the marquis for his righteousness." ”

Everyone bowed down with Wang Qiu and said, "Xie Junhou Gaoyi." ”

Liu Bei held his hands and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare." My father-in-law is a native of Yanzhou, and I and the people of Yanzhou are really not outsiders, seeing that the Yanzhou father was ravaged by the Montenegrin army, how dare he not do his best to save the Yanzhou father. I am afraid that I will come late, and I will not be able to take credit to the elders of Yanzhou. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Yanzhou present was happy, Cai Yong is a native of Yanzhou Chenliu, Liu Bei is Cai Yong's son-in-law, and he is also half of Yanzhou, and everyone is half of the same country, and the heroes and big families in Dongjun are also close to Liu Bei. This is the case in this era, and the sense of identity between regions is extremely strong.

Wang Qiu and everyone invited Liu Bei into the city for a banquet and rewarded the three armies. Where does Liu Bei have this thought, he is afraid that if he is not careful, Cao Cao will jump out to pick peaches and send troops by himself, originally to block Cao Cao's way, if he makes a wedding dress for Cao Cao, I am afraid that Liu Bei will be angry with himself.

At that moment, Liu Bei just said: "Although the Black Mountain Army under Puyang City has been defeated now, the Black Mountain Army is still raging in the north of the river. The fathers and elders of Dongjun are still in dire straits, and they really dare not be negligent, and they are willing to lead their headquarters to cross the Yellow River and break the Black Mountain, and wait until they are done, and then drink the celebration wine with the princes. ”

When everyone heard this, they were full of admiration, and ordered people to kill pigs and sheep, and prepared more than 100,000 Hu cakes to reward Liu Bei's men. After the army had finished eating and drinking, Liu Bei ordered to repair in Puyang for a day, and then Liu Bei ordered the men and horses to turn around, cross the river by boat, and go straight to Weiguo County. Weiguo County and Puyang are opposite each other across the big river, and Liu Bei's men and horses crossed the river by boat, and appeared directly in the north of the big river.

In this battle of Weiguo County, there was no suspense, the Montenegrin Army was still wary of Liu Bei's arrival, and when they saw that Liu Bei went to the south of the river, they relaxed again, and they didn't want Liu Bei to command their soldiers and horses, and suddenly appeared in Weiguo County. Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are well-trained, strong in combat power, and the stimulation of military merits, everyone fights bravely, and there is more Lejin as the internal response, not only there are hundreds of personal soldiers as pioneers, but also more than 1,000 people from Lejin's clan and township party to help. The Montenegrin army is just a bandit level, most of the men and horses were taken across the river by Bai Rao, and were defeated by Liu Bei's Qingzhou army, how can they resist, naturally they will be defeated again.

In the first battle of Dongjun, only four days before and after, Liu Bei had already won a complete victory, captured and beheaded most of the Montenegrin army, and collected more than 30,000 soldiers, of which 10,000 were strong.

At this point, the land of Dongjun was completely restored, and Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, didn't even have time to lead the troops to set off, let alone rush to join Liu Bei.

Dongjun Taishou Wang Qiu, after learning that Liu Bei had recovered the land of Dongjun, was shocked, and said to the left and right: "Liu Zhengdong's courage will not reduce Xiang Yu's back then." ”

Left and right heard the words, but they were silent. When Wang Qiu saw it, he simply picked it out and said: "What if Liu Zhengdong relies on his own soldiers to be strong and wants to meddle in the affairs of my Dongjun." Gentlemen, don't mention the rest, if Liu Zhengdong wants to meddle in the affairs of Dongjun, or simply recommend another Dongjun Taishou to the imperial court, with Liu Zhengdong's exploits in breaking the Black Mountain Army, will the imperial court not allow it, I am afraid that the imperial court will admit it. When the time comes, the monarchs still want to be officials in the county government, but how can they get it? ”

The people on the left and right listened to it, but there was still no reaction, the court or something, it was just a fig leaf. Liu Bei defeated Dongjun, and it is not unacceptable to appoint a Dongjun Taishou in his hand. Even, everyone hopes that a strongman like Liu Bei will be stationed in Dongjun, so as to protect everyone from being harassed by rogues and robbers.

Only Wang Qiu's henchmen listened, this was moved, one of them, called Wang Da, is Wang Qiu's own confidant, knowing that if the new Taishou comes, no one will use himself, so he said: "Fu Jun, don't you hear that there is a master in Dong'e County, this person is far-reaching, and the state knows his name, so that Jun Jun has not yet arrived in the public car, so that Jun also often sends people to ask about current affairs, why doesn't Fu Jun invite this person to meet, ask him how to change it." ”

After listening to Wang Da's words, Wang Qiu's heart moved, and asked: "The person you are talking about is Cheng Li and Cheng Zhongde!" ”

"That's the man."
