Yuan Shao raised his arms and shouted, and more than a dozen princes rose up. Even though the Luoyang Imperial Court and the local county had long foreseen that this would happen, after the incident really happened, it was still Shenzhou who was shaken. Within a few days, thousands of troops and horses swept through most of the Central Plains, and both the people of Li and the Shishu people were shocked and commotioned. Those light heroes and heroic people in the countryside are even more eager to try, and under the rush to tell each other, many people who attract the crowd to join the crowd appear.

Yangzhou is okay.

After learning that Xu Chu was about to go on an expedition, he was stunned for a long time, and then said to the left and right: "Dong Zhuo acted rebelliously, Yuan Benchu raised troops in accordance with the mandate of heaven, and Zhaowu Hou was fortunate to be among them, but I only sighed that my heart longed for it and I couldn't reach it." ”

Chen Wen also had an idea about raising troops to fight against Dong, Guangling County, Xuzhou in the north, which borders the Yangzhou Thorn History Department, and its Taishou Zhang Chao is the younger brother of Chen Liu's Taishou Zhang Miao, and this time he also took the soldiers and horses in the county to Ben Chenliu. Half a month ago, Zhang Chao had sent Cao Zanghong, a county gong, to Liyang to persuade Chen Wen to raise troops together.

Chen Wen finally declined Zhang Chao's invitation for many reasons, and at this point, he could only regret it.

After Zhou Xin heard that Xu Chu was about to start the army in the near future, he couldn't help but show a little surprise in front of the full hall of county officials. He stroked the case and said: "Hugh Mu, Dong Zhuo sits in Shenjing, has 100,000 elites under his command, and has the Son of Heaven in his hand to call the four seas, and his momentum is not small. In the past, I thought that Xu Zhongkang Peiguo was a rough country hero, and what he relied on was just a brute and the elite soldiers under his command. ”

Humu is the expression of Zhu Huan, who has just come out of Danyang County. Zhu Huan didn't say a word after hearing this, but he was thinking in his heart: After Zhou Danyang's famous clan, there are also half 10,000 elites under his account, and he can be regarded as an overlord in Yangzhou. It's a pity that he doesn't have big ambitions after all, and his ambitions are only in Yangzhou, which is indeed inferior to Zhaowuhou's ambition of 'aiming at the world'.

For example, He Qi, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others were also very surprised. But in their surprise, the element of joy was a little greater.

The smoke of the Han Dynasty is everywhere, it is a good time for these brave people to make contributions, and Xu Chu can become a prince of a town to crusade against Dong Zhuo, which is also extremely beneficial to their future development. Especially He Qi, he just got Xu Chu's promise to raise him as filial piety, he Xu Chu returned to the county in the future, if he can communicate with each other and have an alliance, don't say that it is filial piety, it is not impossible to get the position of lieutenant and county in Huiji County.

All parties in Yangzhou were waiting for Xu Chu to leave Lujiang, but Xu Chu couldn't go so fast. Before we set out, there are two more things that need to be arranged.

Two things, one is a county affair and the other is a military affair.

The expedition is imminent, Lujiang is now Xu Chu's rear, and it can't be placed here casually, and the corresponding arrangements still have to be made. After several considerations, Xu Chu finally decided to let Xie Zhen and Zhou Yi act as the county affairs, and Shi Lu, He Zhen, Zhao Zhao, and Li Ping provided his assistance.

At the beginning, Xu Chu's priority candidates to stay in Lujiang were one of the three of Xi Zhong, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu, the three of them were their most trusted henchmen, and there was no need to worry about their abilities, the reason why they still didn't let them stay was because Xu Chu not only needed the three of them to give advice, but also how strong their ability was, after all, they were outsiders, and they were outsiders from poor families. Therefore, Xu Chu set the principals on Zhou Yi and Xie Zhen, two Yangzhou celebrities.

The six people were all summoned to the county government to play right, and after Xu Chu explained his intentions, Zhou Yi took the lead in raising a question: political affairs are easy to say, what should I do if there is a military incident in the county?

Xu Chu's answer was: He would leave 1,000 newly recruited soldiers to be led by Zhao and He Zhen, and Shi Lu would be supplemented by 500 people to be stationed in Xiang'an County; He Zhen was the main one, and Li Ping was the assistant with 500 people who stayed in the county.

These two arrangements can be regarded as dispensable, just to prevent anyone from doing something disgusting. If there really is any county that wants to attack Lujiang, it is useless to keep more people.

That is, to deter the powerful and thieves in the county.

Zhou Yi pursed his lips and acquiesced to this arrangement. He Zhen has a good relationship with him, he is shrewd and talented, although he is not from the army, it is more than enough to deal with public security and thieves. He also understands it, and I heard that it was he who rode into the enemy camp alone, saying that he had retreated from the nine ** who invaded Yangquan County, and that there was such a brave person sitting in Xiang'an County, which was enough to ensure that it was difficult for Zhou Xin to make any small moves.

After Zhou Yi and Xie Zhen agreed, Xu Chu immediately submitted a letter, citing Zhou Yi as the county prince of Lujiang, and then deposed Xie Zhen as the county gongcao in the court, replacing Zhang Yun, who had gone to Danyang County.

Then he played the show to invite him to be a family member, and to use the history road as the right history of the county soldier Cao.

In fact, now the above table is just a formality, and it doesn't matter whether the court agrees or not. After a few appointments, the two of them were excited.

The reason for the joy is that the family is often a person close to the marquis, which is specially performed by Xu Chu in order to show his relatives and let him better control the soldiers, needless to say, his future should be extremely bright.

Shi Lu simply felt valued. He came to Lujiang with Zhaozhao, and the two were made county officials at the same time. After that, because the lead move was much higher than him in terms of ability and performance, Shi Lu was originally a little disheartened, but today he was suddenly mentioned to Cao Shi's position, which made his heart eager again.

"Not an inch of merit has been made, and even Cao Shi ...... Zijing, I am very frightened! Shi Lu said to the lead.

He patted Shi Lu's shoulder heavily, "Encourage him!" ”

After the affairs of the county were roughly arranged, Xu Chu discussed the establishment with Guo Jia and them in the remaining time.

When Yuan Shao raised his troops, he gave himself the title of 'General Che Cai'. It seems like an extra move, but it is actually very important to Yuan Shao. In the Han family system, the soldiers of the county are not allowed to go out without an edict, which is also the reason why Zhou Xin intends to dominate Yangzhou, but he can only make small moves behind his back first. This time, in order to curry favor with Dong and in order to 'justify his name', Yuan Shao had no choice but to appoint himself the general of the chariot cavalry, and gave Cao Cao, Xu Chu, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin and others the title of general of Xing XX to facilitate their actions. There is another factor, in order to suppress Yuan Shu's rear general, Yuan Shao can change his name to become the leader of the alliance, and he must also give himself the title of general of the chariot cavalry.

It's the same with Xu Chu.

The army is about to be marched, and the troops will be used, and the civil ministers and military generals under the account have not been officially appointed, which is obviously not easy to do. At the same time, in order to unify and coordinate the armed forces and facilitate command and operations, this system must be done well.

There are nearly 10,000 soldiers under Xu Chu's command, including troops recruited from Yingchuan, righteous servants brought by military generals from all over the country, young and county soldiers recruited in Lujiang County, and Danyang soldiers recruited from Danyang County. In the case of complex composition, Xu Chu based on the five military commanders and five military marquis appointed before, and integrated the 6,000 newly arrived Lujiang soldiers and Danyang soldiers into a department.

In the Han military system, 'one army' is divided into five departments: front, center, rear, left, and right, and in addition to the five departments, there may be other departments in varying numbers.

Xu Chu then made up 2,000 soldiers and horses of Le Jin and Li Quan, with Le Jin as the captain of the ministry and Li Cheng as the Sima, which was the front army. Among the former army, Lejin's 'first camp', Li Quan's cavalry, and Shanyang Yicong were the main forces of soldiers and horses.

After the front army, the troops of Gan Ning and Zhou Yu were made up to 2,000, Gan Ning was the captain of the department, and Zhou Yu was Sima, which was for the rear army. This part of the people is also the main force with the heroes of Shu County.

The Chinese army was led by Xu Chu himself, so he took the tiger guards led by Dian Wei as the backbone, and expanded to 1,500 people, half of whom were tiger guards, and the other 1,000 people were selected from the righteousness brought by Yingchuan. Dian Wei is the lieutenant of the department, and Zuo Heng is Sima.

There are a total of 4,000 people in the left and right departments, Wang Yan and Li Tong are school captains, and Chen Gong and Zifan are Sima.

In addition to the five departments, there are two other departments: Fei Liang is the captain of the grain school, and the palace is strict; With Gong Su as the other Sima, Huang Shao Zuozhi - this can be regarded as a fulfillment of the promise to Huang Shao. Most of these two other departments are conscripted people, as reserve soldiers and horses, and only Gong Su and Huang Shao have 400 Yingchuan Yicong guards.
