After some inquiry, Fu Quan learned that the reason why Xu Fu fought with the barbarian soldier was because the two gambled, and the barbarian soldier lost too much money, and his mouth was not inferior, and his words insulted Xu Fu's mother.

Xu Fu's father died early, and now he is the only widowed mother, so his mother is extremely filial, even if he draws his sword angrily, he is bound to fight with this barbarian soldier who insults his mother, and he will have a life and death showdown, which will happen later.

After hearing this, Fu Quan couldn't help but sigh, Xu Fu would later kill people and change his name to Xu Shu, and it was not for no reason, after all, a ranger like him who used a knife without considering his family, and it was obviously common to avenge his friends. However, it is precisely because of this that he was not born very well, and after killing people and changing his name, he went to study and forge ahead, and it was strange that he could be looked down upon by those high-ranking families!

And for the matter of the private fight between the two, Fu Quan was also difficult to decide for a while, but these two people actually had their own faults.

The two Han Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and after the children became literate, the first book they read was "The Book of Filial Piety". The old mother was humiliated, and it would be strange if Xu Fu was not angry, and at this time, the wind of revenge was flourishing, because of the righteousness of "Spring and Autumn", the son did not take revenge, and the son was not the son.

When the world is not far from ancient times, the folk customs are simple, the wind of revenge prevails, revenge is not only limited to blood relatives, and even revenge for teachers, friends and killing, it is not uncommon.

More than 100 years ago, after the rise and fall of the two Han Dynasty, the famous man Huan Tan once said: "Today's people kill each other, although they have been subdued by the law, and the private grudges, the descendants reciprocate, and then the deep anger, as for the destruction of the household, and commonly known as Haojian, so although cowardly, still reluctant to do it." ”

The famous Xianggong feud, the ninth generation retribution, has a far-reaching impact on this, so there are often insults to parents, elders, relatives and friends, and are killed by the other party. Although by the time of this dynasty, although the wind of revenge has decreased, it is no longer the same, but it is still prevalent, not to mention that Fu Quan himself killed his people in anger because of Cao Poshi's humiliation of the ambush, that is, Su Buwei, Yang Qiu and others that Fu Quan knew, which one did not kill people with a knife because of the enmity of his parents?

Moreover, coupled with the society's sympathy and support for the avengers, if the officials commuted or even released the avengers, they would be appreciated by the people, so the avengers were rarely punished, so those who faced each other because of personal enmity could be said to have no fear. Even if someone fails to escape the punishment of the official office, after these people escape, there will be many people's homes who will take the initiative to shelter because of the deeds of the other party.

In view of this, one side is his own soldiers and horses, and the other side is the capable minister he wants, Fu Quan naturally does not favor anyone, otherwise favoring either side will embarrass him, and in the end, Fu Quan chose the most secure two sides to be punished.

After all, if only the Ban Yu barbarians are punished, it will undoubtedly make the soldiers under his command complain, after all, they are veterans who followed Fuquan Nan's expedition, and only punishing Xu Fu will also make this filial son have a grudge against Fuquan, and Fuquan's idea of wanting to accept him will fall short.

Fu Quan asked the barbarian soldier to apologize to Xu Fu first, and then ordered the sergeant to punish him with twenty rods, but thinking that the war was imminent, this crime would be punished after the battle. As for Xu Fu, since he has been conscripted into the army, he naturally has to obey military law, and now he is fighting privately in the army, although it is excusable, but it is inevitable to be punished, his crime is heavier than that of the barbarians, and it has reached the point of sword, Fu Quan has betrayed his staff fifty, but like the barbarian soldiers, after the war, he will be held responsible.

The two of them had no objection to this, the barbarian soldier had been in the army for a long time, so he naturally understood what Fu Quan meant, and Xu Fu was not a fool, and he also heard the deep meaning of Fu Quan's words.

After all, Fuquan just said that after the war, he would liquidate, but he didn't say that it was the big war, Yingchuan pacified Dingbo was a big war, but the Han army was not only pacifying Dingbo, there were also yellow turban moth thieves all over the world who needed to be pacified. Therefore, Fu Quan's words are equivalent to giving the two sides a step on the surface, and the barbarian soldier apologized to Xu Fu, which is equivalent to reconciling the matter and allowing the two to settle the matter peacefully.

Therefore, after some reconciliation on the surface, Xu Fu and the barbarian soldiers were all guilty, and the barbarian soldiers then returned to their own ranks. And Xu Fu was summoned by Fuquan and recruited him to his side with "Jun to filial piety, I respect him very much", and learned that he was also a scholar, but after he was usually a good ranger, he temporarily pressed him as a military official and let him accompany him.

In this way, Xu Fu was like getting a gift package from heaven, from a ranger who was forcibly recruited by the Han army in Changshe, to a Han army officer.

However, in his heart, Xu Fu was very pleased, after all, he was just a poor scholar, his family was not wealthy, although he was fortunate to have studied scriptures, and his talent was gradually revealed in the county, but there is no doubt that a poor scholar like him is not welcomed in the eyes of those big families. Otherwise, if his background was a little better, Xu Fu would not have lived a half-literate and half-martial ranger life now, I am afraid that he would have been promoted by the county because of filial piety, filial piety and filial piety, so now he is naturally very happy to be promoted by Fuquan, and even forgot all about the rude barbarian and Fuquan's punishment in his heart.

After that, Fuquan was afraid that there would be any more moths in the army, so he ordered the whole army to pack up, organize weapons, and send troops straight to Yangzhai, and at this time, Yingchuan County was already bloody.

It was noon, and Yingchuan County's Taishou Yin Xiu stood at the head of the city and peeked out of the city. After several sieges and bloody battles, outside Yangzhai County, all of them are boundless yellow, dense yellow ants are moving, and occasionally there is still red, these people are all yellow turban moth thieves.

The entire county town of Yangzhai was surrounded, far away, near, east and west, on the official road, in the open space outside the city, in the wilderness, in the forest, except for the Yingshui side in the distance, in addition to the dead corpses, there were most of the ragged yellow turban moth thieves with various weapons.

For a moment, Yin Xiu felt that if each of those Yellow Turban Moth thieves outside the city spat at the foam, I was afraid that the entire Yangzhai County would be swallowed by them.

"Don't worry about Ming Gong, the long society has come to report, Fu Pingkou has led the army to quell the chaos, with the ability of Pingkou, plus the defeat of the previous wave of thieves, we only need to hold on for a few days, and we will be able to wait for Fu Pingkou to break the thief!" Beside him, Zhang Zhong saluted and said, he is a henchman of Yin Xiu, and naturally understands why his own county guard is like this, after all, as a royal prince, his own county guard is obviously the same as most of the royal relatives now, only through the scriptures, not military affairs, and was stupid by the yellow turban moth thieves dense outside the city.

"Good, good, good...... Everything in the city is entrusted to the public! Yin Xiu spoke quickly, looking at a loss, and hurriedly asked Zhang Zhong to take over the defense of the city on his behalf again, this was the first time that Yin Xiu didn't know about it since Bocai besieged the city.

"No!" Zhang Zhong replied with a straight salute, the county guard is his master, the lord has an order, and he should receive the order. Later, he observed the Yellow Turban Army outside the city again and said: "Although there are many demon thieves, they are scattered, and there is no military discipline, so there is no need to be afraid. ”

Seeing that Yin Xiu was a little quiet, Zhang Zhong said again: "Sun Ziyun: 'The teaching is unknown, the officials are impermanent, the Chen soldiers are vertical and horizontal, and they are chaotic'. The soldiers of the wave thieves, all homeless and landless, gathered in a hurry, did not practice, did not have complete armor, no discipline, did not know the way of the battle formation, and lost the previous battle, why be afraid? ”

"Sun Bin said: 'The time, the place, and the people, the three are not allowed, although there is a victory.'" Therefore, in today's situation, there is no time for the wave thief. Moreover, Yang Zhai is a big city in Yingchuan, the city is strong and the people are strong, there is no shortage of armor, and there are few soldiers in the city, but only need to recruit strong men, distribute weapons, and swear to defend the city. Therefore, the thieves have no land, and our army has it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhong pointed out of the city again, and said to the yellow turban moth thieves besieging the city: "Ming Gong, please watch, most of the moth thieves outside the city are hungry, their eyes are green, and their steps are vain and weak, which must be caused by hunger, and it should be due to the defeat of the previous thieves and the loss of soldiers, armor, grain and grass." Sun Ziyun: 'Treat the near and far, wait for the work with ease, wait for the work, wait for the hungry with the full, and the one who governs the power is also.'" 'We are fighting at these four points, and the people of the city know that the thief is poisonous, and they will not obey the thief, and attach our army to fight the thief, and this person will be won by our army! ”

"In today's situation, our army is sitting in a fortified city, the soldiers are well fed, and the weapons and armor are excellent; Their hoes and shovels braved the cold and the cold, and gathered in the wilderness, hungry and cold. This is the time, the place, the people, the three, the thief army is not allowed, although the thief is small and resourceful, what can I do? Therefore, in this battle, his troops will be defeated. ”

After listening to what Zhang Zhong said, Yin Xiu nodded again and again, and said happily: "Very much! Very much! And his originally panicked face is also a lot better-looking, he was born in the Nanyang Yin clan, the top gate valve of the Han Dynasty, the famous "Emperor's Family", one of the four surnamed Xiaohou, and not a branch of the Yin family, it can be said that he has enjoyed glory and wealth since birth. You only need to study the scriptures, wait until you become an adult, rely on your family background, and rise to the top, how have you ever seen such a bloody and cruel situation?

In fact, after being appointed as a soldier Cao Rafter, Xun Zhen dispatched people out of the city, cut down the trees near the city, cut the frozen moat, and prepared to defend the city; While going down to the barracks, it took a few days to familiarize himself with the situation of the county soldiers. The art of war: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent" is about to usher in a big war, and soldiers can not know the generals, and they will not know the soldiers.

There are more than 3,000 soldiers in this county, because it is located in the interior of the plain, not near the northern frontier, nor near the sea, and there is no big river in the county, so there is no cavalry, and there are no building boat soldiers, all of them are "material officers", that is, infantry.

Generally speaking, there are three types of "material officials". One is the "armor soldiers", that is, the hoplites, the soldiers are strong and brave, the armor is complete, and they are equipped with heavy sharp weapons such as halberds, ge, spears, etc. One is the light infantry, which does not wear armor and uses light short-handled weapons such as spears, swords, and shields. One type is the "Kick Zhangshi", that is, the crossbowmen, who use bows and crossbows.

Among the more than 3,000 county soldiers in Yingchuan County, the largest number were lightly armed infantry, accounting for more than half, 17,800 people. Crossbowmen followed, about seven or eight hundred. The number of armor soldiers was the least, only four or five hundred.

The armor and light infantry were mixed together, and more than 2,000 people were organized into a "department". According to the convention, the crossbowmen were organized independently and composed into two "songs".

Xun Zhen personally went down to the various departments and songs, and walked over one team after another, carefully verifying the number of soldiers, carefully inspecting the equipment of the soldiers, and at the same time carefully inquiring about the training situation on weekdays.

After verification, the number of people is not bad, and the soldiers of various departments and Qujun are added together, with a total of more than 3,100 people, but not every one of these 3,100 people can go into battle to kill the enemy. Xun Zhen found a lot of white-haired old soldiers in various songs and teams, when I asked the age, the older ones were in their sixties, and the younger ones were in their fifties, and they couldn't wear armor or weapons, so how could they go into battle to kill the enemy?

In the Han Dynasty, especially since the present dynasty, "recruitment" is divided into two categories, one is temporary recruitment, which was disbanded after the war; One category is long-serving professional soldiers. Yuefu poem sang: "Fifteen from the army, eighty to return", is talking about the latter kind of recruitment, and those fifty or sixty veterans in the Yingchuan County soldiers also belong to the latter.

However, there are differences between the two. The poem of Yuefu sings the story of a veteran who went out with the army, couldn't help himself, and wanted to go home but couldn't go back, but these veterans in Yingchuan County stayed in the army because their families were poor and they wanted to eat. It is not easy to live in the people, and it is better to stay in the army and have food and clothing than to be hungry and full.

There are such veterans in each song, and according to statistics, there are more than 100 people. At this juncture, it is not appropriate to dismiss him, in case he provokes someone wronged, it is not beautiful. Xun Zhen simply organized them into a tun and was responsible for logistics and supply.

Yingchuan is close to the capital, with convenient transportation, good economy, and a large population, it is a rich county, and the equipment of the county soldiers is good, so the training situation is not optimistic.

Since Emperor Guangwu deposed the county "capital test", most of the county soldiers in the interior were lax in training. The so-called "all tests" are annual military exercises

Fortunately, with Zhang Zhong's introduction, he knew that he would not die and the situation was not dangerous. After a few moments, Yin Xiu also regained his previous great family bearing, so that Zhang Zhong, who was born in the Yingchuan small clan around him, couldn't help but be ashamed when he saw it, and secretly said that although he was too guarded by the middle of the talent, but this big family background, and the bearing that he was born with is not comparable to himself or others, sure enough, Yin Lihua's afterglow is not ordinary thick!

Not long after, Yin Xiu thought of the Fuquan who came to rescue him, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's weird! That Fuliuchuan can also be called my distant relative, and the family is from a Confucian background, but I don't know why I know the soldiers so well? Repeatedly pacified the civil strife, and conquered the outside world, expanding tens of thousands of miles for the Han Dynasty, I really envy others! ”

Before Yin Xiu finished speaking, there was a noise outside the city, but it was the moth thieves who attacked the city in a trance, the boundless white and boundless yellow seemed to have become a vast sea, and Yang Zhai City seemed to be a small boat sailing alone, the wind and clouds changed color, and the rainstorm was coming.

Bocai drew his sword, pointed diagonally at the head of the city, and shouted casually.

The armor soldiers, light pawns, and knights standing behind him, on the left and right, then raised their weapons and shouted in unison: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" ”

Outside the city, 10,000 or 20,000 people danced weapons of various colors at the same time, and shouted wildly: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand!" ”
