Chapter 138: Frustration appears

After Jin Liang discussed with the generals of the Central Army, he submitted a request to change the military system and add a military rank system, and explained the reason very high-sounding: "In order to enhance the morale and combat effectiveness of the Central Army, and enhance the strength of the royal family, so as to deal with Dong Zhuo and other rebels." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info?"

Empress Dowager He didn't understand these things at all, Lu Zhi fell ill again, so she invited Ma Riyan, Liu Hong, Yang Biao, Huang Wan, Zheng Tai and others to come to discuss, these people don't understand the military affairs at all, listen to Jin Liang and Chen Lin quote scriptures, and talk about the Tao, and see that Jin Liang annihilated so many white wave thieves and black mountain thieves, it can be said that he has built a miracle of merit, and he is Lu Zhi's new disciple, it is inconvenient to blame too much, so he said: "Since there are classics to follow, there are evidences to check, and when this critical existential autumn, it is necessary to make appropriate changes in the army, General Jin also said that this is the internal military rank and rank system of the Central Army, which is only used internally, and has no impact on other officers and soldiers, and the Queen Mother might as well let General Jin give it a try. ”

Empress Dowager He issued an order to agree to Jin Liang's new military rank.

After resting in Yiyang for two days, Jin Liang's Central Army changed its military system, added military ranks, and replaced all the armor and equipment transported from the Luoyang Mansion Treasury, and the military appearance suddenly took on a new look.

Jin Liang rode on a red rabbit horse, inspecting the heavily arrayed Central Army. The Central Army now has two full armies under its jurisdiction and eight divisions.

The main body of the first division of the First Army was 8,000 Bingzhou cavalry, and later supplemented the elite of other teams, with a full amount of 10,000 people, which was Jin Liang's cronies and guards division, all cavalry equipment, all riding high-headed horses, carrying a long bow on their shoulders, two quivers across their waists, spears or halberds on the saddles, lassoes on the saddles, and short knives with rings around their waists. Wearing a leather helmet. The helmet has a mesh face shield. Dressed in black leather armor and wearing a red cloak.

Jin Liang concurrently led the commander of the 1st Division, and at the same time led the most elite 1st Brigade commander, and the other four brigades were led by Cheng Lian, Cao Xing, Wei Yue, and Xu Huang.

Except for Xu Huang's Fifth Hu Cavalry Brigade, the other four brigades were all enthusiastic when they saw the lord passing in front of them.

After Professor Jin Liang's arrow, Cao Xing was loyal to Jin Liang and saw Jin Liang riding a horse in front of him. Then he shouted loudly: "The red rabbit among the horses, the golden good among the people!" The general is mighty, invincible in the world! ”

The crossbowmen of the Fourth Ming Di Brigade under his command followed Cao Xuan and shouted: "Red rabbit among horses, Jin Liang among people!" The general is mighty, invincible in the world! ”

As soon as the Fourth Brigade of the First Division shouted like this, the other teams were not to be outdone, and shouted in unison: "Red rabbit among horses, Jin Liang among people!" The general is mighty, invincible in the world! ”

The joke of the fat man who dared to love Dong had been spread throughout the army by the gang of broken mouths of the Red Loyal Guards, and Jin Liang didn't mind. On the contrary, he rejoiced in his heart, he wanted to establish the worship of the officers and soldiers of the Central Army for him. Worship like a god! Jin Liang rode his horse and whipped while observing the weather in the army.

The first brigade of the first division is the original Flying Tiger Army, the first battalion is led by Dian Wei, guarding behind Jin Liang, the second battalion is also the personal guard battalion outside the formation, responsible for external vigilance, the third battalion as the teaching battalion and the fourth battalion as the Xuanfu battalion together to maintain the military appearance and military discipline during the review, especially for those newly surrendered white wave thieves and Shanyue barbarian cavalry, to supervise their movements.

The equipment of the 1st Brigade differed from the other brigades of the 1st Division in that they made not spears, but halberds, and they learned halberd techniques from Dian Wei, and each person carried a few small halberds behind them in order to throw wounded enemies at the right time, and the throwing technique was taught by Dian Wei.

The second brigade of the first division was adapted from the Bingzhou cavalry, also known as the Xiao Cavalry Brigade, which was led by Cheng Lian, a general under Jin Liang who was good at leading cavalry and good at charging into battle. After Cheng Lian followed Jin Liang, he often led the cavalry to follow Jin Liang into battle, and he was loyal to Jin Liang, but he had a reckless personality and was good at drinking, and being a brigade commander was already his limit.

The 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division is the same as the 2nd Brigade, both of which were adapted from the Bingzhou Cavalry, named the Yue Cavalry Brigade, and were led by Wei Yue, who had good martial arts and was good at charging into battle under Jin Liang. Wei Yue's martial arts were stronger than his cousin Wei Xu, and his way of using troops was also a few points stronger, and he was simple by nature, so Jin Liang instructed him to put him in charge of these two thousand cavalry.

The Fourth Brigade of the First Division was selected from among the soldiers who were good at archery, also known as the Ming Di Brigade, and was commanded by Cao Xing. Originally, the first division was fully cavalry and archery equipment, and a special Mingdi brigade was set up, one was because they were stronger in archery, and the other was because they did not have to charge hand-to-hand combat, they carried three quivers on their backs, and also carried crossbows, which were purer and more elite cavalry and archery brigades, specializing in fire support for other hand-to-hand combat regiments, and only when they had to pull out their ring-headed waist knives to go hand-to-hand combat.

The Fifth Brigade of the First Division had dumb eyes and numb expressions, and they also needed to be vigorously sinicized, so that they could be integrated into the Central Army, otherwise no matter how powerful their riding and archery skills were, they would be ornamental and ineffective. It is necessary to quickly train a group of people to join the army to help Xu Huang transform this group of Shanyue soldiers, otherwise Xu Huang's generals will be killed by these barbarians.

Xu Huang has the talent of a general, but he is young now, and he has experienced less battles than Zhang Liao, Jin Liang is not at ease to send him to be a division commander, so he takes him with him to be a brigade commander first, and at the same time let him concurrently serve as the deputy commander of the first division and be his deputy.

The next to review is Huang Zhong's second division, the second division with He Jin and He Miao remnants as the core, under the jurisdiction of a cavalry brigade, two archery brigades, two infantry brigades, can be regarded as a mixed infantry and cavalry division, is a pull out can fight independently without the support of other divisions, unlike Lu Bu's First Army, the first division of the first army, although elite, but all cavalry can not attack the city, unlike Gao Shun's first army, although the first division is elite but all infantry, can not pursue the enemy.

The first brigade of Huang Zhong's second division is an archery brigade commanded by Huang Zhong, the second brigade is also an archery brigade led by Song Xian, the third brigade is a cavalry brigade commanded by Wei Xu, and the fourth brigade and the fifth brigade are infantry brigades, which are respectively commanded by the generals Li Sheng and Wang Du in these troops.

Zhang Liao's third division, except for the generals above the captain level who wore black scale armor and red cloaks were very energetic, the rest of the soldiers were almost all yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and their morale was low, and their main body was the White Wave Thieves, which was worse than the Black Mountain Thieves in the Wuthering Mountains and Forests, in fact, this kind of Yellow Turban Yu Party was coerced by Guo Tai and other careerists, and it was often tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. Don't farm. Specialized in looting. Now all over the country has been built high Wu fort defense, they can't grab anything, they are hungry all day long, originally they don't want to surrender the official army, but they can't stand Jin Liang let the official army shout "There is food in the belly, don't panic in your heart, join the officers and soldiers, and take care of your fill." Many of the white-wave thieves whose eyes were blue with hunger heard this, and they fell to their knees. Although the 10,000 people selected have yellow faces and thin muscles, they have large skeletons, and as long as the nutrition can keep up, they can recover their muscles and strength for a long time, and they will be reborn in a few months.

Because the Third Division was originally the weakest division, Lu Bu installed the guards Qin Yi, Chen Wei, and Xu Meng as brigade commanders, and the other generals did not object, but under the command of Zhang Liao, it would become an elite soldier sooner or later.

The Fourth Division of the First Army was the Fifth School of the Northern Army under the command of Lu Chong, Lu Zhi's nephew, and the Fifth School of the Northern Army suffered serious losses in the three major battles against Guo Tai, Zhang Yan, and Yu Poison Thieves. Jin Liang took the opportunity to add nearly half of the elite Black Mountain thieves, and most of the generals above the captain were replaced by Jin Liang's descendants of the Flying Tiger Army. Lu Chong did not serve Jin Liang for the time being due to the existence of his uncle Lu Zhi, but looking at his words and deeds, he was also in awe of Jin Liang.

Because Lu Zhi commanded it some time ago, the overall situation of the fourth division is still very good, at least it can be pulled up to fight.

After reviewing the First Army, the next review was the First Division of the Second Army under the command of Gao Shun, this division took the Bingzhou infantry as the core, and incorporated the elite infantry of other troops, because of Gao Shun's commander and Jin Liang's deliberate build, it may be the most elite infantry division of the Central Army.

The first brigade of the second division is Gao Shun's trap camp, 2,000 people are tall and burly, wearing iron helmets, covered with black scale armor, holding a horse sword, with a few javelins stuck in their backs. Because of the strict personality of the master Gao Shun, these two thousand people were also infected by him, and they all became expressionless cold men, Jin Liang Cema smiled at them in the past, they were still holding their breath, expressionless, not at all like the thunderous laughter in other camps, Jin Liang couldn't help but sigh secretly that Gao Shun governed the army solemnly.

The second brigade of the first division is also an elite infantry selected from various teams, led by Hao Zhao, which is completely different from the first brigade, the training of this brigade tends to be defensive, especially to defend the city, after escorting the Empress Dowager Tianzi to Yecheng, this brigade will go under the command of Hao Zhao to recover Keiguan.

The main body of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division is the Xiyuan Left Army, which is still under the command of Xia Mu, the former captain of the Xiyuan Left Army.

The main body of the 4th Brigade of the 1st Division is the unit of Feng Fang, the right lieutenant of the Xiyuan Auxiliary Army, which is still under the command of Feng Fang. Since Xia Mu and Feng Fang took the initiative to serve Jin Liang, they were regarded as descendants, and Zheng Hun, who was in charge of the baggage equipment, gave them new equipment.

The main body of the Fifth Brigade of the First Division is the original Xiyuan Military Academy Captain Jian Shuo's division, after Jian Shuo's death, the dragons were leaderless, and they were reorganized by Jin Liang, and the generals above the captain were replaced by the people of the Flying Tiger Army, and then selected a veteran general Zhang Kui as the brigade commander from there, Zhang Kui is the distant nephew of Zhang Rang, the tenth permanent servant Zhang Rang, his ability is very mediocre, and he is only in a high position based on Zhang Rang's relationship, and he will be replaced when there is a suitable candidate in the future.

The second division was led by Zheng Gu, the third division was led by Zhang Jaw, and the fourth division was led by Gao Ran. These three divisions were all adapted from Montenegrin thieves, and for the time being, they could not be talked about having combat effectiveness. Li Feng, Xue Lan and Jin Liangbu scattered Zhao Shu, Li Zou, Liu He and others in these divisions as brigade commanders, and Li Feng, Xue Lan, and Zhao Shu were also deputy division commanders of the three divisions.

Jin Liang looked at the dark black armor, the big red robe, the neat military appearance, and the majestic Central Army, he couldn't help but be full of pride, raised the Fang Tian painting halberd, and shouted loudly: "Black is iron, red is blood, only iron and blood can revive the Han Dynasty!" Iron-blooded Han, only my Central Army! ”

The 160,000 Central Army looked at the god of war in their hearts, and couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and shouted in unison: "Iron and blood prosper the Han, only my Central Army!" "Murderous, shouting earth-shattering!

Lu Zhiqiang stood aside with his sick body and looked out, and when he saw such a scene, he couldn't help sighing: "Jin Liang is so popular with the army, and he is expected to be popular, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fall in the future, and he will become another Dong Zhuo!" ”

Huang Wan on the side said with a smile: "Why should Duke Lu worry too much, as long as Duke Lu teaches more, Jin Liang will be able to be loyal and righteous, and will not do anything like Dong Zhuo that defies the world's disapproval." ”

Lu Zhi nodded: "I just hope that things can be as ideal as Huang Gong said." ”

After the reorganization of the Central Army, Chen Lin told Jin Liang: "My lord, Nanyang is the gateway to Jingzhou, and it is also the key point of the Yellow River waterway, and Mr. Tang Long has put millions of stones of grain in Nanyang. General Wei Xu also transported the treasures of the Ten Standing Servants to Nanyang in a steady stream. Then it was delivered to Xiangyang. The weight of Nanyang, only 2,000 people of General Song Xian is not enough, in case Yanzhou and Qingzhou Yellow Turbans hear that Nanyang has a large amount of grain, gold and silver, and they will set out their nests, and nearly a million Yellow Turban thieves will besiege Liyang, so what can they do? Please send elite troops to defend Liyang as soon as possible. ”

Jin Liang did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked Zhang Liao to lead his third division with 20,000 auxiliary troops to defend Liyang. Wei Xu and Song Xian were responsible for the transportation, and at the same time ordered the Diannong Zhonglang of Tunju Neihuang to select 20,000 elites from Han Hao from the 200,000 tun people, actively train, and support immediately in case there was a change in Liyang.

Han Hao's 200,000 tun residents began to distribute along the shores of Huangluo Lake, building embankments, enclosing the lake to create fields, raising fish and shrimp, ducks, geese and lotus roots in the lake, and planting trees around the lake to consolidate the water and soil. He also ordered people to dig ditches and build water conservancy. Rice is planted near the lake, while wheat is planted far from the lake. Fruit trees and pastures were planted on the vast barren mountains at the foot of the Black Mountain, cattle and horses were grazing on the pastures at the foot of the mountains, and the land with tight water and soil began to be cultivated.

At present, the most I have done is to open a kiln to burn bricks, build a house, and then build a Wu Fort.

A few months later, from Montenegro to Huangluo to Xiangyang, dozens of Wu forts were built, especially around Xiangyang, more than a dozen Wu forts were built tall and majestic, stronger than some county seats, these Wu forts were given a safe place for the people to shelter and prevent the invasion of the Black Mountain thieves and the Yellow Turban remnants, and the other was to resist the attacks of the clan's armed forces.

Based on these 200,000 people, Han Hao fought steadily, centered on the place where Huangluo arrived in Xiangyang, slowly encroached on the wasteland of the surrounding counties and counties, and occupied all the mountains, forests, rivers, lakes and nearby wasteland on the grounds that there was no owner.

If there is a small family in the big family to provoke, they will organize the elite soldiers to fight, and even pretend to be a black mountain thief to loot the other party's property, but at first they did not take the initiative to provoke the big families in the family, and waited for the stability of the Jinliang Xiangyang regime before they would make a big move.

This large area of Jingzhou was able to cultivate 90 million mu of fields in later generations, but now only 50 million mu has been cultivated, and even if the water and soil are protected, and grass is planted as pasture where the water and soil are not solid, there are still 20 million mu of wasteland that can be cultivated, plus more than 10 million mu of wasteland abandoned by the displaced people, and the Tuntian army can have 30 million mu of wasteland to be reclaimed, and 10 mu of land per person can be used to collect 3 million displaced people.

Of course, most of those displaced people are now attached to the Black Mountain Bandits, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and the Yanzhou Yellow Turbans, and there are still many small groups of Yellow Turban Remnants in Jingzhou.

The army set up camp and marched to Xiangyang, and four days later, arrived in Xiangyang.

Xiangyang's richness and magnificence, second only to Luoyang, and because Liu Bei took Xiangyang as the capital in history, Jin Liang did not hesitate to choose Xiangyang as the temporary capital of Dong Zhuo to temporarily avoid Dong Zhuo, the Empress Dowager He Lian and the Son of Heaven Liu Wei had no objection, and the army marched to Xiangyang. When he arrived outside the south gate of Xiangyang, Jin Liang only saw dozens of generals leading thousands of troops to greet him outside the south gate, and there were only two scholars and doctors with Eguanbo.

Jin Liang was very angry, why only so few people came to greet him, didn't I send someone to inform the Taishou of Xiangyang County and the county guards and county orders of several nearby counties? How did it only get two.

Jin Liang led 10,000 Flying Tiger Army to escort the current army, because the Flying Tiger Army was all cavalry, galloping vertically and horizontally, arrayed outside Xiangyang, the army was neat and orderly, majestic and mighty.

Jin Liang took the lead, Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran followed, arrived at the south gate of Xiangyang, flew off the horse, and walked in front of the two scribes, Jin Liang bowed and said: "The two have a unique vision, alienate Dong Zhuo and Yuan Kui, are loyal to the Han family, and support the Son of Heaven, Jin Liang deeply admires!" ”

The two of them also bowed down and said, "We all know that the Son of Heaven has the protection of Taifu Lu and General Jin, and he will definitely be able to destroy Dong Zhuo's rebels and welcome the Son of Heaven back to the old capital." ”

Zhang Jaw introduced: "These two are Jizhou celebrities, this is Guangping people frustrated with the frustration of the Gonghe, the current Yiyang County Order, this is the Jiyin Ding pottery Dong Zhao Dong Gongren, the current Xinye County Order. ”

He was thirty-five or sixteen years old, eight feet tall, emaciated, with a clear countenance, and his eyes full of wisdom, except for the Sichuan characters on his forehead and slightly lowered eyebrows, which seemed to hint at his sad fate.

Jin Liang looked at Zhang Jaw back, and he was also a sad general who was given up to Cao Cao by Yuan Shao, who was blind.

In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao attacked Wuchao, and Zhang He said: "Cao Gong's soldiers are fine, and he will break Qiong and so on; If Qiong and the others are broken, the military will be removed, and it is advisable to urgently lead troops to rescue him. But Guo Tu said: "It's not a plan." It is better to attack its base camp, and it is bound to return, which is self-extricating without saving. Zhang He retorted: "Cao Gong's camp is solid, and the attack will not be pulled, if Qiong and others see the birds, I will be taken prisoner." As a result, Yuan Shao listened to Guo Tu, did not listen to Zhang He's dissuasion, and sent him to attack Cao Cao's military camp, but not only did he not capture it, but the black nest that lacked rescue was also robbed. Speaking of Zhang Jaw's tragic death, "Wei Luo" records it very clearly: "The Liang army retreated, Sima Xuan Wang envoy, and he said: 'Military law, the siege of the city will open a way out, and the army will not chase. King Xuan did not listen. As a last resort, he entered. The Shu army rode high and ambushed, the bow and crossbow were messy, and the arrow was in the middle of the hair. At that time, only Zhang Jaw was the only famous general who was highly respected by Wei Guode, and Sima Yi had to get rid of the old ministers loyal to the Cao group in order to take power in the future, so Zhang Jaw died tragically. This time, these two people should not be so sad.

Jin Liang also asked Xuanyuan Xue this question when he was resting before, if he saved many people who had died in the original history, would it lead to the confusion of historical time and space or the so-called intolerable situation of providence, but Xuanyuan Xue said the original words: "If God had to interfere with his life and death, he would have died of exhaustion." So you just put your heart in your stomach. ”

Dong Zhao is much younger, in his early thirties, seven feet three inches, slightly fat, ruddy complexion, without the slightest wrinkles, bright eyes, and a happy expression, which forms a sharp contrast with the old society next to him. (To be continued.) )
