The first battle of Yangzhai County, with Guo Binsheng's capture of He Man as the turning point, everything was much simpler after that. Guo Bin led the army to press, and gradually compressed the living space of the Yellow Turban Army with the huge suppressive force of the longbow array, forcing it to disperse, while Guan Yu led the cavalry of his department to intersperse the pursuit, and after breaking through the Yellow Turban camp outside Yangzhai City in one fell swoop, he drove the deserters into the Yellow Turban Army camp on the periphery of Fulong Villa. The army followed the defeated army, and the battalion of more than 10,000 people was directly dispersed.

Guan Yu's department did not stop, but passed through the camp, and did not give the other party the slightest chance to reorganize the army. Seeing this, Guan Hai, who had already received the news from the flying pigeon, led 500 sergeants and 500 young men out of the village to assist in accepting the prisoners.

According to later statistics, in addition to capturing He Man alive, more than 20,000 prisoners were taken in this battle, and more than 20 middle-level generals of the Yellow Turban Army were captured, excluding those who were killed in the chaotic army.

The elite of the five hundred Yellow Turban Army in the tunnel, although they heard the shouting of killing outside, thought that He Man was leading the army to cover for everyone, so they entered Yangzhai City according to the plan in advance, and were made dumplings by the sergeants who had been ambushed around for a long time. Except for a few who resisted stubbornly and were shot by Zhao Yun with a longbow, all of them were captured.

In this way, the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army that came to Yangzhai was completely annihilated, and the Yellow Turban Army's plan to occupy Yangzhai County was completely bankrupt.

After the war, Guo Bin ordered the Yue cavalry battalion to continue to be stationed in the Beida Battalion, and used the 5,000 people who came to support to expand the scale of the battalion, so that the longbowmen in the Beida Battalion could cover the enemy troops entering Yangzhai County from the east, and become a powerful barrier to enter Yangzhai by land.

Of the nearly 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who were captured, nearly half of them were young and strong, and the rest were old, weak, women and children. The so-called 30,000 troops, 10,000 combat troops are considered elite, and the rest are all civilians responsible for transporting materials and building camps. Sometimes, in order to increase the momentum, they will exaggerate the military power. For example, if there are 10,000 combat troops, plus 20,000 logistics troops, and a total of 30,000 troops, they dare to claim to be 100,000 troops. And in most cases, even the ordinary soldiers in the battalion are difficult to distinguish.

The so-called people are ten thousand, boundless. Only an extremely experienced general can make an approximate estimate if he climbs high and looks far away. Perhaps many times, in this kind of grass-terraced Yellow Turban Army camp, even the generals who lead the army only know the number of troops they lead. Because it was too chaotic, there were a few homeless people here, and a few soldiers slipped there, and with an extremely inefficient unit like the Yellow Turban Army, it was extremely difficult to transmit information, let alone a rather professional number count.

Therefore, "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles" was written into the "Art of War". Most generals' so-called "confidants" may only stop at knowing the number of elites they can fight.

The tactical level shown by the Yellow Turban Army in this battle is not fundamentally different from the "group ~ fight" on the rivers and lakes, otherwise it will not care about the head and tail, and repeatedly fell into Guo Bin's scheme, lost food and grass, and the advantage of numbers became a huge burden, so Guo Bin was forced to hurriedly seek a decisive battle.

And because of the bargaining chips of 500 elites infiltrating Yangzhai City, and the impression that Guo Bin's soldiers were extremely elite, He Man, who did not want to cause too many casualties, tried his best to avoid a decisive battle with Guo Bin's army in advance. Otherwise, there is no need to cover the 500 elites to enter the tunnel, only 5,000 soldiers will hold the camp, and 15,000 people will attack Guo Bin's camp, which will be a loss of a few thousand people, capture Guo Bin's camp, and capture or even kill Guo Bin, Yang Zhai City will really have no last support.

Even if Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Zhi and others are amazingly brave, and Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu are extremely intelligent, none of them can replace Guo Bin's status. Unconsciously, whether in the army, or in the hearts of the wealthy families and ordinary people in Yangzhai County, Guo Bin has become the Dinghai Divine Needle for stabilizing Yangzhai, if Guo Bin falls, all the prosperity and power of Yangzhai will disappear. This is also the reason why Guo Bin has been working hard all along: the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The burden on his body is too heavy.

Most of the more than 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who were captured were just young men who were coerced by Taiping Dao, and were scattered by Guo Bin and placed in Yangzhai City and Fulong Villa.

In addition, Guo Bin rebuilt the masonry buildings at the old camp of the Yellow Turban Army that He Man had built, including the East Wharf. The standard highway that runs through Yangzhai City was built and connected here, forming a highway system that runs through Fulong Villa - Guojiazhuang - Yangzhai County - East Wharf Town (the old camp of the Yellow Turban Army), which greatly accelerated the flow of materials in the east-west direction of Yangzhai County, and laid a solid foundation for the development and growth of Yangzhai County in the future.

As for the nearly 500 elites who were sent to infiltrate Yangzhai County with the intention of stealing the city, Guo Bin decided to send them to Chen Zhi for training. With one hundred special soldiers as officers, one with five, strive to form combat effectiveness in the fastest time. Most of these people are famous and famous heroes in the rivers and lakes, and they came to Taiping Dao to help at the invitation of He Man.

Because it coincides with a disaster year, the rivers and lakes are also very difficult to mix, and it is not easy to find a rice rut, where are everyone still hesitating? This is also the most important reason why most people do not have much desire to fight~ after seeing that they are under siege, and raise their hands to surrender. If these 500 people were die-hard members of Taiping Dao, Zhao Yun would have to pay a lot of price if he wanted to subdue or annihilate them. It's just that the Taiping Daoists have to play the role of officers in the army, so they are very scattered.

Afterwards, it is said that the dozen or so stubborn people who resisted were the hardcore Taiping Road who led the team this time.

After everything was settled, Guo Bin, who was idle, sat in the lobby of Yangzhai County, preparing to deal with the affairs of the captured leaders of the Yellow Turban Army.

He Man was the first to be brought up by Zhang Fei.

Guo Bin raised his eyes and saw that his face was ruddy, and he walked vigorously, without even binding his hands. If he hadn't been wearing leather armor and carrying a sword, it would have been hard to imagine that he was a captive.

As soon as he arrived in the lobby, He Man saw Guo Bin who was sitting upright, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "He Man pays a visit to the Captain of the Cavalry." ”

How did Guo Bin not know that in the past few days, he was busy placing the Yellow Turban Army prisoners, and Zhang Fei often dragged Guan Yu to He Man to drink and compete in skills? As soon as this war ended, everyone was so busy that they hit the back of their heads with their heels, only Zhang Fei had nothing to do all day long, and Guan Yu was so worn out by him that he couldn't do anything, so he accompanied him to find He Man to drink.

Zhang Fei had also trained the sergeants in the Yue Cavalry Battalion under the guidance of Guan Yu, but in terms of his impatience, where was the person who could train the recruits? Now that the war is over, the new recruits are only the five hundred Taiping Dao elites, and Zhang Fei has pushed the work of training soldiers to Chen Zhi.

How do you know that Chen Zhiyu is quite talented in teaching soldiers, and some training methods can be understood as long as Guan Yu says it, and even put forward many constructive suggestions, which are very valued by Guo Bin. Therefore, after careful consideration and consultation with Xi Zhicai and others, Guo Bin made a major decision.

He decided to give Chen Dao all the tasks of training recruits, and the other generals would no longer be responsible for training recruits. Since then, whenever a recruit enters Guo Bin's army, he must first go to Chen Zhi's hand and receive a half-month boot camp training before he can officially go to the battlefield. In this way, a few years later, the prototype of the world-famous Yangzhai Military Academy was officially formed.

After this decision was made, Guo Bin patted Chen Zhi on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Shuzhi, from now on, the task of recruit training will be handed over to you." As many soldiers as there are under my Guo Qianyang's command, you will train as many soldiers as you want. Now I am the captain of the cavalry, commanding the Yue cavalry battalion, and you are the military commander of my Yue cavalry battalion; If I have to be the county guard, on one side will be the military commander of a county; If one day, I have to be the general, you will be the Sima of the Imperial Forest Army! ”

Chen was so excited that he clenched his fists fiercely, with tears in his eyes, and he couldn't say a word. It turned out that although his family background was not very good, he liked to read military books since he was a child, and he was especially interested in arranging troops, building large camps, and training soldiers.

A few years ago, he once helped a strange man in the rivers and lakes, and in order to repay his kindness, he taught him all his martial arts and gave him a copy of "Wu Qi".

This book is written by Wu Qi, a military strategist, a politician, a reformer, and a representative of the military family in the early Warring States period, and the book includes a total of 48 articles such as drawing the country, anticipating the enemy, managing the army, discussing generals, adapting to the situation, and giving inspiration, etc., and is known as "Wu Zi's Art of War" by the world. Later generations called "The Art of War" and "The Art of War" together as "The Art of War of Sun and Wu", and the "Art of War" was included in the "Seven Books of Wujing" in the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, in modern times, "Wu Zi's Art of War" has been lost, and only six articles remain, so it is difficult for modern people to see the original appearance of "Wu Zi's Art of War".

If you want to say that Wu Qi's most well-known deeds are the training of Wei Wushu. Wu Qi led Wei Wushu to conquer the north and south, and achieved the miraculous feat of "seventy-two battles, sixty-four victories, and the rest were evenly resolved (regardless of victory or defeat)".

After Chen Zhi obtained the "Art of War of Wu Zi", he regarded it as a treasure, studied it day and night, and was determined to train an elite army comparable to Wei Wushu. thought that there was no hope in this life, but now that he has met Guo Bin, he can be regarded as having to meet Bole.

And Zhao Yun, as the commander of Yangzhai County, has a lot of things on his shoulders, to expand Beidaying, to rebuild East Wharf Town, to arrange road repairs, and to be busy reporting news to the major villages in Yangzhai County to arrest the remnants of the Yellow Turban. Although the matter of building the road and expanding Beidaying and rebuilding the East Wharf is in charge of the people of Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd., and at the same time, Xu Shu is responsible for the dispatch of materials and the contact with the major giants, but there are still many major matters that Zhao Yun needs to decide, which makes Zhao Yun very busy.

Although I was a little busy, I also got a lot of exercise. Regarding the changes in Zhao Yun these days, Guo Bin saw it in his eyes, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.

Zhao Yun, who originally didn't like words, and was even a little dull, now acted decisively and neatly, and people can really be exercised under pressure. Today's Zhao Yun has become the only general under Guo Bin who can take charge of himself after this month's training, and Guan Yu is slightly inferior.

He Man, who had long been involved with Zhang Fei and others, did not work Guo Bin to talk too much. came out to mingle with the rivers and lakes, just to beg for a bite to eat, although He Man was valued by Bocai, but if he really went back, he would lose 30,000 elite crimes, and Bocai would not be able to spare him. And now that he has joined Guo Bin, not only does he not have to bear the responsibility for the defeat of the army, but he has become a regular army, which can be blown. Although his position is not high, he is recognized by the imperial court. The self-proclaimed so-called general of the Yellow Turban Army to conquer the west, now that I think about it, there are many ridiculous elements.
