Until he returned to the official army camp outside Guangzong, Guo Bin was unable to break free from the meaning of "Kunlun" mentioned by Guan Fenglong. However, he also knew the origin and history of Plum Blossom Boxing, and knew that the Plum Blossom Boxing faction could be described as a school of martial arts that had a long history through Chinese history.

She is not only a boxing technique to enhance physical fitness and learn martial arts, but also an ideological concept integrated into Chinese Taoist culture, a legacy of our ancestors' highest pursuit of "the unity of heaven and man", and a way of thinking that melts into the blood of the Chinese nation. Countless kinds of boxing techniques in later generations are all based on plum blossom boxing.

However, after Guo Bin returned to the camp with this pilgrimage-like reverence, Fang remembered that he had forgotten to ask about the capture of Guangzong City. It's just that Guan Fenglong invited him to gather in Houmazhuang three days later.

Huangfu Song went north to take over the command of the official army, and because of a great victory outside the city of Changshe, he was named the marquis of the capital, and at this time it was the time of complacency and prestige. With this great victory, Huangfu Song, who came to take over the Northern Route Army, successfully took over the power without much effort. However, at this time, he could only besiege Guangzong City again, and if he wanted to fight a decisive battle, he could never do it.

When he first came to the North Road, although he brought with him many men who were accustomed to fighting, he did not have a firm foothold, and it took a lot of effort to control the 45,000 officers and soldiers. Moreover, at the beginning, Dong Zhuo was defeated repeatedly, and the Yellow Turban Army not only took advantage of the situation to break through many times, but also lost a lot of officers and soldiers, and the morale of the army was greatly depressed. Therefore, if Huangfu Song wants to fight a decisive battle with the Yellow Turbans in the city, he must not only complete the absolute control of the 45,000 officers and soldiers, but also boost the morale of the officers and soldiers.

Following Huangfu Song to the north, there were only nearly 1,000 personal guards and a cadre of shogunate members. Although the number of this personal guard is already considered to be very much more than the establishment, after all, Huangfu Song, as the commander of the three armies, is at the critical moment when Lu Zhi is questioning, it can be said that the safety of the world is at stake, and the importance of his personal safety is beyond doubt.

In addition, Huangfu Song came to take over, so he couldn't go to the post alone. The so-called "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven", although it is a metaphor for a person who has become an official, and the people who have a relationship with him have also followed the power, which is very ironic. However, this phenomenon was extremely common and necessary in ancient times.

Take Huangfu Song as an example, he was promoted to the commander of the Northern Route Army this time, it is impossible to do everything, right? Even the current township and county magistrates must also be equipped with a secretarial team, not to mention directly commanding tens of thousands of troops to fight, and the logistics troops may even involve hundreds of thousands of officers and army commanders.

Let's talk about the issue of grain and grass. The route of grain transportation needs to be arranged, right? You need to watch the handover of grain and grass, right? The team transporting grain and grass needs to send troops to protect it, right? The grain transport team picks up the horses, and they need to calculate their rations, right? The states and counties that the grain transport team passes through along the way need to say hello in advance, right? When the grain and grass arrive in the camp, you need to count and put it into storage, right? The army has two meals a day, and it is necessary to arrange for the people to get food and cook, right? With tens of thousands of troops and a large battalion stretching for more than ten miles, it is impossible for everyone to gather together for dinner, right? If the officers of each unit receive military rations, they need to calculate the number of food stamps, right? In addition, tens of thousands of troops of grain and grass need to be transported continuously, how can such a huge amount of grain be transported at one time and put in the granary to wait for collection? Therefore, the above work needs to be carried out on a regular basis.

This is only a matter of food and grass, but the distribution of military equipment, the liaison and patrol of various battalions, the change of passwords, and the reinforcement and maintenance of camps, which one does not need to be watched by one's own people?

Don't look at this as just a seemingly unimportant and trivial matter, but as long as one link goes wrong, it may trigger the collective collapse of tens of thousands of troops.

Or if it is not the commander's own people who count the grain and grass, then the officers who transport the grain and grass and the person who counts the grain and grass will deduct a little bit of military rations and report a little more losses on the road, and the lord will inevitably increase the frequency of transporting grain and grass from the rear. And once the incident occurs, although the person who withheld the military rations will not be able to escape the responsibility, as the commander-in-chief, he also bears extremely important responsibility. In the future, these may become an excuse for opponents to attack them.

If this is a long-term injury and not an immediate need, then if the officials who distribute the rations are shoddy, and distribute the sand mixed or even rotten grain to the battalions, it will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of the sergeants. It is inevitable that all the blame will be placed on the commander-in-chief, and this will inevitably damage the prestige of the commander-in-chief and result in ineffective execution of military orders. Such hidden dangers can easily erupt in a fierce battle, and at that time, the losses will be unpredictable. To be more serious, the soldiers could not eat enough, causing military chaos and even bombing the camp, and this responsibility could not be borne by Huangfu Song, who was the general of Zuo Zhonglang. The death penalty may be avoided, but the living sin is inescapable.

Therefore, the position of commander of the army is not something that anyone can sit in, nor can anyone who casually has no qualifications in the army be able to do it. This position requires not only the expertise necessary to be the head of the three armed forces, but also many invisible soft skills.

What does the so-called soft power refer to? In this case, it's networking.

As the commander of the three armed forces, you must have a group of extremely capable people at your disposal. In this day and age, you have to have a protégé. Because these people are basically both prosperous and humiliated with you, at least they will not have bad intentions to harm you, so you can basically trust them completely. However, not everyone is qualified for a job in the military, and many of the most important positions require specialized knowledge, such as arithmetic and bookkeeping.

And if all your subordinates are "scribes" who only know how to lupine and scarf, and pretend to be handsome and cool, they will not be able to do these many jobs, because many tedious and heavy tasks are extremely important. Therefore, these people must be familiar with the affairs of the army, and if they dare to lead insiders in the army, it is a sign that death is not far off.

Therefore, in all dynasties and dynasties, all the commanders of the three armed forces who were ordered in danger must always have a reasonable military experience. Not only do you know the art of war, so you won't fall for the enemy's tricks, but more importantly, you can understand the disadvantages of the army, and you will make fewer low-level mistakes when fighting; If you can have someone to share the heavy work of the army for you, you will not be deceived by those below; If you have someone to help you control the army, you won't have the embarrassment of not being able to do it.

Therefore, whether it is a civil official or a military attaché, as long as you reach a certain level and position, the imperial court will allow you to appoint subordinate officials yourself. And these subordinate officials are your "old officials", and they will become the most trustworthy people in your office. And the source of these "old officials" naturally will not be just to catch a random person on the street. At this time, fellow villagers, protégés, relatives, friends, etc. will become the most important subordinate officials to help.

Some of these people are recommended by themselves, and some are recommended by relatives and friends, and if the matter is not extremely urgent, it is common for the world to arrange a few people in an inconsequential position as a favor. And although these subordinate officials come from different sources, they must have one thing in common, that is, their positions are not high, some are white, and some are directly the second ancestor. And once he became a high-ranking official, he could be said to have flown up the branches and made a phoenix, which became a typical in the eyes of many people: "One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven".

And like the situation of Huangfu Song at this time, he has recently taken over the North Road Army, although the new officials have arrived, they still need the run-in of personnel, they need to fully understand the affairs they are responsible for, and they need to think about the operation of their work and the familiarity of personnel, which will take time. It was during this period that many people were newly appointed and unfamiliar with them, and they were often described in history books as "unstable in the military's spirit".

In fact, the so-called "unstable morale of the military" often refers to this kind of personnel problem. The change of commander of the army will cause instability in the morale of the army; The defeat of the army and the heavy casualties in the army will also cause the morale of the army to be unstable. Although there are many reasons for the instability of the army's morale, the evil consequences are the same, that is, the army will be "embarrassed to fight".

Therefore, since ancient times, changing generals in battle has been a taboo in the army. If the new commander is unreliable, like Dong Zhuo, who is in a hurry, it will lead to a fiasco in the army; And if the new commander is reliable, like Huangfu Song, he will spend at least a month or two to stabilize the morale of the army.

This time, the Northern Route Army changed its commanders twice, and it was originally possible to gather and annihilate the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong for another month, but I know that now there is no eyebrows at all, and the strategic goal of "gathering and annihilating the main force of the Yellow Turban Army" may not be accomplished under any circumstances under the existing conditions.

This time, Guo Bin received the edict of the Son of Heaven and was transferred to the account of Zuo Zhonglang's general Huangfu Song, which was requested by Huangfu Song to Liu Hong. In an army, there must always be troops that are truly capable of fighting tough battles, and there must be troops that completely obey the commander's orders and can fulfill the tasks assigned by the commander to the letter, and only then can the army have combat effectiveness.

And Guo Bin's department, the excellent performance outside the city of Changshe was obviously recognized by Huangfu Song. In addition, the personal relationship with Guo Bin is extremely close, and it is reasonable for Huangfu Song to take office as a new official and ask the Son of Heaven for Guo Bin, a very capable cavalry captain, to be under his command. Guo Bin did not refuse, not to mention that as an official and soldier who eats imperial food, he has no reason to refuse, and because of his low status, he is not even qualified to refuse. Of course, in Guo Bin's plan, he was going to Guangzong City, which was exactly the result he wanted.

Because, he wants revenge, he wants revenge for Wei Zhongdao.

According to the Wei family, the reason why Wei Zhongdao died was because he encountered bandits when he took Cai Yan, his new wife, back to Hedong to complete the marriage. A group of guards fought to the death, although they kept most people and property safe, Wei Zhongdao was hit by an arrow in order to resist Cai Yan's stray arrows.

Because of the Yellow Turban military disasters along the way, it was not very peaceful, even after passing through several states and counties, and there was also a lack of medical treatment. After arriving in Hedong, although the Wei family visited famous doctors and tried their best to treat them, it was delayed for too long, and arrow sores recurred and died.

Wei Zhongdao's parents, whose beloved son died, naturally did not have a good face for Cai Yan, so the servants and maids of the Wei family did not look at this young master mother who had just passed in their eyes. What words like "hard life" and "Kefu" naturally came to Cai Yan's ears in a steady stream.

Cai Yan has been studying with her father since she was a child, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. And when she grows up, the people she meets will inevitably feel ashamed of herself in front of a woman like her, and she will be more cautious when interacting with her, for fear of abruptly abrupt the beauty. In this way, Cai Yan has developed an elegant and gentle personality on the outside and extreme self-esteem in his heart. Where can such Cai Yan stand the bullying of his servants and maids? So she was strong and returned to her mother's house in Beijing.

Wei Zhongdao's parents felt sorry for their son, so they sent someone to Beijing, set up a tablet for Wei Zhongdao, and held a mourning ceremony for him in Beijing. And Guo Bin happened to return to Beijing, and Fang caught up with such a play.

Later, it was confirmed by Wei's family that the bandits encountered by Wei Zhongdao were the Yellow Turban Army who went out to search for military food supplies. Therefore, Guo Bin was full of revenge for Wei Zhongdao at this time, and he was targeting the Yellow Turban army in Guangzong City, and even Zhang Jiao, the commander of Taiping Dao.
