Subsequently, Gao Shun ordered his troops to march towards Zhongshan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Fei led the 6 Tun cavalry to open the way in front, and Guan Yu led the 6 Tun cavalry to be responsible for the rear.

Among them were Gao Shun and Li Qiang, Li Qiang led 2,100 cavalry in front, followed by Gao Shun led 8 divisions of infantry, responsible for escorting grain and grass baggage.

At noon on the eighth day of the fourth month, the troops arrived at the city of Lunu in Zhongshan and set up camp outside the city.

Soon after arriving, Liu Zhi, the king of Zhongshan, led the minister of Zhongshan, the chief officials and others to reward the army.

During this time, he was frightened, the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou were everywhere, only Zhongshan was not occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, and even the kings of Ganling and Anping were captured by the Yellow Turban Thieves, and Zhang Bao, the general of the Yellow Turban Thieves, was stationed in Xiaquyang City, only a hundred miles away from here.

Guo Dian, the former giant deer Taishou, recruited 3,000 soldiers here, which was not enough to protect the safety of Zhongshan Kingdom; Now that the Youzhou army has arrived, he finally feels steady.

Liu Zhi sent five hundred fat sheep, a thousand stones of grain, and two hundred gold gold; In order to save his life, even if he asked him to take out all his property, he was very willing.

The prime minister invited Gao Shun to the palace in the evening, and Gao Shun readily agreed.

Subsequently, Guan Yu was in charge of garrisoning the barracks, Gao Shun led Li Qiang to receive the 3,000 infantry recruited by Guo Dian, and Zhang Fei led 6 cavalry to accompany him.

The military camp was located in the city of Lunu.

Gao Shun arrived at the gate of the barracks, and the soldiers on duty at the gate of the barracks immediately went to report, and two middle-aged men with black faces came out of the barracks to contact.

Li Qiang held the official seal and said to the comer: "This is the new Taishou of Julu County, who has come to take over the rebel army. ”

"Captain Zhao Fu, meet Taishou!"

"Jun Sima Chenghuan, meet Taishou!"

As he spoke, the two gave a military salute to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun was taken aback, weren't these two people the generals under Jizhou Mu Han Fu at the beginning? How did it end up here? Then after thinking about it, I understood that maybe like Lu Yi, he stayed in Jizhou as an official after quelling the Yellow Turban Uprising, and was only accepted by Han Fu later.

Busy looking at their attributes, Zhao Fu, 37 years old, force value 75, intelligence 81, politics 66; If the force value is not bad, the intelligence is very high, and it is enough to be a middle-level officer or a county too guarded.

Cheng Huan, 35 years old, force value 71, intelligence 59, politics 52; It's more than enough to be a mid-level officer.

Gao Shun said casually: "Haha, the two of you have worked hard. ”

"Taishou, please come in!"

In the big tent of the barracks, Zhao Fu introduced the situation of the army to Gao Shun, with a total of 2,500 infantry and 500 cavalry, with sufficient food and weapons, but the armor was not enough.

Gao Shun said: "My principle is to improve the treatment of soldiers, raise elite soldiers, and focus on the development of cavalry, I don't know what suggestions the two of you have." ”

Zhao Fu suggested: "Taishou, the recruitment of the rebels is hasty, the good and the bad are uneven, and the combat effectiveness is worrying, if it can be streamlined, it will be better; It's just that the big war is imminent, and now the reorganization is time-consuming, so it is better to wait for the occupation of Quyang and then reorganize; Otherwise, the Yellow Turban Thief will become more and more powerful and difficult to deal with. ”

Cheng Huan said: "Taishou, if you develop cavalry, there is a lack of war horses, even if the existing horses, many of them have won and are extremely weak, and they are useless." ”

Gao Shun didn't want those old and weak to go to the battlefield to die, besides, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were killing those small groups of Yellow Turban Army in Hejian Country and Bohai County, they would definitely concentrate on Quyang or Guangzong, he hoped that the Yellow Turban Army would concentrate more, so that they could be wiped out, so he decided: "The matter of war horses and armor is not enough to worry about, this official will solve it; Now you can get rid of the old and weak, reorganize the troops, form an army as soon as possible, and then go south. ”

"Yes, Taishou!"

Gao Shun also introduced: "I don't know how much salary Guo Taishou originally gave you, according to the unified treatment of our army, Captain Zhao can only serve as a cavalry waiter, lead 5 cavalry, and enjoy the treatment of 400 stones, and Cheng Jun Sima can only be appointed as an infantry army Sima and enjoy the treatment of 400 stones; Infantry officers are paid one level lower than cavalry officers; The promotion in the future depends entirely on the merits of the war, I don't know if the two of them are willing to stay in office? ”

The two thought for a while, this Taishou is so young, not yet to the weak crown, is the youngest Taishou of the Han Dynasty, the future is unlimited, follow him will definitely not suffer, and he can explain things openly and honestly, it is better than hiding it, and the time is ripe in the future, and there is still a chance to improve, so both of them accepted the treatment proposed by Gao Shun.

Gao Shun ordered that a meeting of the commander and officers of higher rank be convened immediately.

All the officers received the order and immediately arrived.

Gao Shun checked the force value of the officers in turn, there was no very outstanding, many military candidates were not even qualified to serve as the commander of the tun, disappointed, announced: "This officer is ready to reorganize the righteous army, eliminate the old and weak, there is no need for those who are not suitable for the army to go to the battlefield to lose their lives, or to cultivate and study in peace." In the ranks of the officers, regardless of their origins and abilities, all officers participate in the selection together. ”

A few people proposed: "Taishou, our family donated a thousand stones of grain in exchange for the position of tun chief, you can't say that we will be dismissed." ”

Gao Shun smiled: "Are you willing to keep your life?" Or would you rather go into battle and charge? If your level is insufficient, you will have to worry about your life when you charge, and if you retreat from the battle, you will be engaged in military law, and your life will also be lost; The battlefield is not child's play, and I hope you will think carefully. ”

Zhao Fu had long seen that some people were not pleasing to the eye, but now that he had the support of Taishou, he had the backbone in his heart, so he said: "Our army only has a few thousand people, and there are more than 100,000 yellow turban thieves in Quyang City alone, and there is a steady stream of yellow turban thieves from other places. It is not suitable for the military to quit if the order is too observed, this is for everyone's good, and I don't want everyone to lose their young lives; It's still too late to quit, and if you quit again when you get to the battlefield, you will be deserters, and military law will be engaged. ”

Gao Shun said secretly, Zhao Fu is good, he understood his intentions so quickly.

Everyone listened to Zhao Fu's advice, half of them chose to quit, Gao Shun did not stop them, let them leave, and then let Li Qiang and Zhao Fu go to select the existing rebel army.

In the end, more than 300 people met the cavalry requirements; 1200 people meet the infantry requirements; More than 1,500 people can be selected, Gao Shun is already very satisfied.

Equipped with 3 junior military attaches as the cavalry commander, and transferred 2 cavalry, enough for 5 tun, led by Zhao Fu.

Cheng Huan served as the Sima of the infantry army, which was divided into 3 divisions, 3 junior military attachés served as infantry soldiers, and each infantry commander led 4 infantry cantonments; Wu Chang, Shi Chang, Du Bo and Tun Chang were obtained through competition.

For those rebels who were eliminated, in addition to the back salary, each person was given one stone of food, and then they were sent home.

Gao Shun ordered the army to camp outside the city for training, and transferred all the supplies out of the city.

Answering the barracks outside the city, after camping, the new army was redressed, the cavalry and the infantry tun commander were equipped with two crotch armor, and the rest of the personnel were equipped with leather armor; The war horses were also screened, and those who were not suitable to continue to be war horses were transferred to the baggage team to be horses.

Gao Shun sent Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan each a first-class horse, each wearing Mingguang armor; The excited two immediately worshiped Gao Shun as the lord. When they came to the military camp outside the city, they were shocked by the strength of Gao Shun's army, and they had long intended to worship the Lord.

In the evening, the king of Zhongshan gave Gao Shun a curtain in the palace, and Gao Shun gave him a jar of wine to thank him, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
