Xu Shu, as a former military advisor, is an assistant and student of Fu Zhu, but he has different opinions on Fu Zhu's words: "Lord, Mr. Fu, I have some superficial opinions, but I don't know whether to say it or not?" ā€

He smiled and said: "The lord is like a stream, Yuanzhi, why do you need to be restrained, you might as well say your opinion, if there is no change, you will be encouraged." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Xu Shu saw Jin Liang's magnanimous smile, and his heart was full of confidence, so he told his opinion: "Everyone, don't forget, we are in the present, if we only think about the future, but ignore the present, no matter how good the future is, it will be vain.

Now, what the lord lacks most is prestige, without prestige, he will not be able to convince the public, he will not be able to fully control the Xiangyang court, and he will not be able to make the will of the central army become the will of the court, and the crusade against Dong Zhuo is a rare opportunity to increase the prestige of the lord.

If the lord blindly avoided the war in order to facilitate the later confrontation with the Kwantung princes, fearing the enemy, what is the difference between him and those Kwantung princes, and how should the people of the world view the lord, is the lord running for months to conclude an alliance just to make a wedding dress for Yuan Shao? ! ā€

Fu Zhu smiled and patted Xu Shu's shoulder: "Yuan Zhi, you have entered the country a lot, which makes me very pleased!" ā€

Subsequently, Fu Zhu said to Jin Liang: "What Yuan Zhi said is extremely true, we must take care of the future as well as the present, and we must not be biased!" ā€

Guo Jia also said: "We must not only make the people of the world admire the loyalty and combat power of the Central Army, but also preserve our strength and weaken those Kwantung princes." How to handle it must be grasped by the lord! ā€

Jin Liang frowned. These advisers were under a few words. It's very thoughtful, but how feasible is it, this war hasn't been fought yet, so you can limit yourself so many conditions, so it's strange that you can fight the war beautifully!

Jin Liang turned his head and asked Gao Shun and other generals: "What suggestions do you have?" ā€

Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "My lord, I agree with the suggestions of several military advisors, but I have some questions. Did the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven issue an edict for our Central Army to send troops? Did the other auxiliary ministers of the cabinet exert pressure on the lord to let our central army send troops?! ā€

Jin Liang shook his head: "They just said as soon as possible, and they didn't say that they must send troops immediately." ā€

Gao Shun frowned: "Lord, then I don't quite understand, why is the lord still annoyed that those princes can send troops if they don't have it?" Our Central Army is not fully equipped with food and grass, weapons and armor are not yet complete, and training is still not satisfactory. ā€

Only then did Jin Liang realize that he was anxious for a moment of anger, and he only cared about discussing how to deal with those princes, and forgot to share the latest information that Guo Jia's secret department had with everyone in the first time, and hurriedly signaled Guo Jia to tell everyone the latest information.

Guo Jia has a super memory. I read all that information and told Jin Liang again and again, and I wrote it all down there. At this time, he talked eloquently: "Dong Zhuo has learned that our Central Army has united more than 20 princes to form an alliance against Dong to deal with him, so he will take the lead.

Dong Zhuo ordered the general Duan Xuan to lead the troops to hold Chang'an, Duan Xuan is the nephew of my famous Han general Duan Ying, cautious and serious, good at defense, the generals under his command are strictly disciplined, very different from the general Xiliang soldiers, responsible for attacking Chang'an to harass Dong Zhuo's rear of our army has the left car cavalry general Huangfu Song, the west general Ma Teng, Zhenxi general Han Sui, although the Huangfu general has 50,000 soldiers and horses, how can he lose troops and soldiers when he pacified the Qiang rebellion before, the soldiers are extremely tired, lack of food, although the Huangfu general crusaded against Dong Zhuo, but could not send troops for a while. Ma Teng and Han Sui were used by Li Ru to use a divisive strategy, they were suspicious of each other, and they refused to join forces, and they were all guarding the second county of Wuwei Jincheng and could not send troops.

Dong Zhuo also ordered the general Zhang Ji and his nephew Zhang Xiu to defend Hongnong and Wuguan together.

Dong Zhuo also ordered the general Xu Rong to capture Xingyang, attack Zhongmu, Zhongmu ordered Chen Gongbing to be outnumbered and unable to resist, and retreated to Chenliu with Zhongmu Gong Cao Renjun, temporarily attached to Chen Liujun under the command of Zhang Miao, the Taishou of Chenliu County.

Dong Zhuo ordered the general Hu Zhen to capture Yangcheng, but Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Yingchuan County, could not resist, and temporarily retreated to Yangzhai and waited for Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Runan, to ask for help. ā€

Gao Shun said disapprerovitically: "These are all diseases of scabies, which are not enough to worry about, as long as our Central Army has all the items, it can be gradually recovered." ā€

Guo Jia smiled faintly and said: "The military intelligence has not been finished yet, Zhong Ping, don't be in a hurry to express your position first."

Dong Zhuo ordered the general Yang Ding to hold Hedong, and the former Hedong guard general Niu Fu, assisted by the military advisor Jia Xu, led 30,000 Xiliang cavalry, took Zhang Yan's unpreparedness, and took Jiguan lightly, and then attacked Hanoi County, and several large counties in Hanoi County, including Huai County, the seat of Hanoi County, fell into the hands of Niu Fu! ā€

Gao Shun gasped: "Hanoi is too guarded by Sun Jian, a battle-hardened general, who is well versed in the art of war, and should not be able to defeat Niu Fu!" ā€

Guo Jia sighed: "It's a pity that Sun Jian was attacked by the Yellow Turban remnants on the way to Hanoi to take office, and was seriously injured, and stayed in Luyang to recuperate. ā€

Gao Shun frowned and asked: "Sun Jian has four fierce generals under his command: Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao, his own martial arts are even more superb, and he has eight thousand Jiangdong tiger and wolf soldiers under his command, I really can't think of that Yellow Turban Yu Party in the world can hurt him!" ā€

Jin Liang laughed and said, "Zhong Ping, do you know that the yellow turban under the territory of the princes in the world is the most rampant? ā€

Gao Shun thought for a while, and suddenly said, "You said that he sent someone to pretend to be the Yellow Turban Yu Party to assassinate Sun Jian?!" How can it be?! ā€

Jin Liang sneered: "How is it impossible, Sun Jian and that person's younger brother are very incompatible, and that person and his younger brother have always been incompatible, and Hanoi Taishou Han Lin is that person's sworn friend, and so on, it is determined that that person must be the mastermind behind the attack on Sun Jian." Fortunately, the man's younger brother had already sent troops to assist Sun Jian in defending Luyang, and when Sun Jian recovered from his injuries, he went to Hanoi. ā€

Huang Zhong on the side was confused, and hurriedly asked, "Which one are you talking about?" ā€

Jin Liang said with a smile: "It's the son of the family who gathers with his arms and echoes." ā€

Huang Zhong smiled: "I have already seen that that man is very scheming, but he has no foresight, and he can't plan for great things." Sure enough. The great cause of Dong is imminent. He assassinated his allies, if it was spread out, would it be necessary for the Dong Alliance to exist? ā€

Jin Liang said in a deep voice: "Therefore, we can't spread this information, just treat Sun Jian as if Sun Jian was injured by the Yellow Turban Yu Party, and after the victory of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, we will inform Sun Jian of the truth and let him settle accounts with that person." Now we still have to look at the big picture. ā€

Xu Huang Xu Gongming didn't care about Sun Jian's life or death, he was a native of Hedong, as soon as he heard that Niu Fu's army had occupied Hanoi, he was worried and said: "Hanoi is occupied by Niu Fu, our Central Army will lose contact and coordination with Zhu Jun's department in Hedong, if Dong Zhuo orders Yang Ding and Niu Fu to jointly attack Lord Zhu Jun, Hedong is not guaranteed, Hedong Yanchi is not guaranteed, if Hedong Yanchi is allowed to go, it will definitely be like a tiger with wings." It can quickly expand its troops by hundreds of thousands, and it will be even more impossible to contain it when the time comes. ā€

Jin Liang listened to Xu Huang. I was shocked: "I really didn't expect the Yanchi thing, I just think that Niu Fu's army controls Hanoi and is in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, and it can go down the river at any time, attack Liyang and then attack Jinliang, like a stab in the throat, it must be removed, now I hear Gongming say this, in case Dong Zhuo takes advantage of the salt pond, the voice is bound to increase greatly, and it will not be curbed in the future." For today's plan, it is necessary to quickly repel Niu Fu and help defend Hedong. ā€

Hedong Salt Pond, also known as Xie Chi, covers an area of hundreds of miles, the abundant salt can be eaten by one-third of the Han people, and the resulting tax income is a fixed financial income of the Han Dynasty, if Dong Zhuo incorporates the salt pond into the Xiliang military in one fell swoop, the annual salt sales in the salt pond are enough to generate billions, enough to feed hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops, so Jin Liang can not help but be anxious.

Gao Shun and other generals in the army have now understood why Jin Liang is in a hurry to send troops, he is indeed threatened by Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu's army has captured Hanoi, if the army marches eastward, it will enter Nanyang, and it will be in front of you, and you can no longer train and prepare slowly, you must take action.

The Central Army unanimously decided to send troops to Hanoi to attack Niufu.

Of course, in Jin Liang's eyes, Niu Fu, who is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, is just a wine bag and a rice bag, and all he really cares about is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe.

According to the latest information, after Niu Fu's army captured Hanoi, because he was afraid that he would not be able to resist Jin Liang, Niu Fu ignored Jia Xu's advice, and frantically recruited soldiers in Hanoi, and those Montenegrin bandits who were defeated by Zhang Yan went down the mountain to Hanoi to rely on Niu Fu, and within half a month, Niu Fu's department has expanded from 30,000 to more than 60,000 people, plus some old and weak auxiliary soldiers, which can barely be called 100,000 soldiers.

Jin Liang did not have a high evaluation of the combat strength of the Central Army, which had only been trained for two months, and this time he went to attack Niu Fu, he did not underestimate the enemy, and decided to bring 100,000 soldiers, 50,000 soldiers, and 50,000 auxiliary soldiers, respectively, Jin Liang, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Zhang Jaw, and Zhenggu five divisions, Gao Shun and Lu Chong stayed in Xiangyang, Zhang Liao still guarded Liyang, Gao Ran, Ju Yi's divisions were mostly Jingzhou disciples, and the enthusiasm for guarding their homeland was high, and the enthusiasm for fighting abroad was low, so Jin Liang scattered the ten brigades of these two divisions and regiments, and separately defended the ten counties in the Sili area. Prevent other hostile forces from intruding.

Jin Liang did not overestimate the Central Army, but his Central Army has indeed improved rapidly in the past two months, and it has become a rare elite soldier in the world.

Because the regular military training of the Central Army is the actual combat training that Jin Liang actively advocates, the easiest one is to run 20 miles cross-country with a full suit of armor and heavy weapons, and there is no strictest training project, only more stringent, the officers and men of the Central Army struggle every day on the edge of desperate survival, and from time to time they have to rotate, enter and suppress the Yellow Turban remnants in the Sili area and those families who have collusion with the Black Mountain thieves and the grassland aliens, in order to hone the officers and men of the Central Army, every time they enter and suppress, they win more with less, and never win less with more.

The officers and men of the Central Army were not very accustomed to the harsh actual combat training at the beginning, and they were about to make a mutiny, Jin Liang first set an example and completed the training items based on the special forces training of later generations one by one, and the officers and men of the Central Army present were all dumbfounded, Jin Liang issued a military order, stipulating that the soldiers who completed the training items ahead of schedule could enter the Red Powder Battalion, the soldiers who completed the training items on time had meat to eat, the soldiers who could not complete the training items could only drink soup, and the soldiers who refused to complete the training items could be expelled from the Central Army and demoted to Tuntian soldiers. Soldiers who dare to make a mutiny can be killed to correct military discipline.

Most of the officers and men of the Central Army were born in poor families, and before entering the Central Army, they were hungry and precarious, and they could be fed and clothed all day long after entering the Central Army. Perform well and have meat to eat. There are women to play with better performance. If you don't perform well, you will be kicked out of the Central Army and go to Tuntian to be ridiculed, dare to resist the local law, most of the soldiers encourage each other, what is the point of a manly husband to suffer a little bit of hardship, it is better than not being fed and clothed and being ridiculed, and besides, the lord leads by example and finishes those training projects, what else can we say.

And so on and so forth. The actual combat training of the Central Army was carried out rapidly, coupled with the strong support of the Tuntian Corps and the Taifu Division Horse Ranch, after the soldiers trained hard, they had pork, beef, mutton, and dog meat to eat, and milk and goat's milk to drink, and the nutrition was completely able to keep up.

When Jin Liang was leaving, he warned Gao Shun, Tian Feng, and Lu Chong, who were left behind in Xiangyang, that they must be careful to be vigilant against the counterattack of those big families. warned Wang Yue and Wu Chong, who stayed in the palace, that they must be careful that hostile forces are not good for the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven. And all the people were awe-inspired.

Jin Liangsui confidently led 100,000 central troops to Hanoi, preparing to defeat Niu Fu and capture Jia Xu alive.

Two days later, the army passed through Huangze Lake, and Han Hao, the farmer general, Bo Changlin, and Shi Tao, the captain of the farmer, walked out of the Huangze Castle and came to greet them.

In the places where Jin Liang passed along the way, you could see the towering castle built by the Tuntian Corps every dozen miles, see the hard-working Tun people on the fields, see the herds of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep running around, see the curling smoke rising, and everywhere is full of strong fireworks in the world.

Jin Liang looked up at Huangze Castle, which was the base camp of the Tuntian Corps, which was very different from the previous cities, no longer boxy, but concave polygons, which looked very strange and not beautiful at all.

Han Hao saw Jin Liang staring at Wubao, and said with a smile: "The lord is really a great talent, and he actually knows how to build a city. Ever since the lord gave me the sketch of the building called the fortress, I took advantage of the leisure time to gather all the people and concentrate on building this fortress. This kind of fortress is very easy to build, and it is also convenient to expand, as long as you keep building the same shape of the city wall along the prismatic city wall, and form a sandwich between the walls, you can expand it, and the defensive ability will not only not weaken, but will be enhanced! ā€

The marching commander Shi Fuzhu pointed to the angular city walls and asked, "Yuan Hei, why did you build so many angular city walls?" ā€

Han Hao replied with a smile: "This is the beauty of the fortress, protruding many angular city walls, in order to allow the defender to carry out multiple blows to the attacker, no matter which city wall the attacker attacks from, the back will be exposed to the defenders on the side wall on the other side, and each side is within the range of the bow and arrow, so that the attacker has almost no chance to climb the city wall, either killed by the defenders in front or shot to death by the guards behind!"

In the past two months, there have been several bands of thieves who know that there is a large amount of grain in this fort and want to capture Huangze Fort, but I only have 2,000 tuntian soldiers on this fort, but they are shot and killed all over the field, and they fled in embarrassment. ā€

Jin Liang laughed and said: "Yuan Hei, don't pat me on the back, I also heard from the Hu people who came to Wuyuan County in the Western Regions that the Great Qin State in the west of the Western Regions has this style of castle, and the defense is very secure, so I wrote it down, this fortress is really not my creation." By the way, Yuanhei, I've been busy with other things lately, and I haven't asked about the Tuntian Corps, so you can give me a brief report now. ā€

Han Hao didn't go back to check the records, and with his memory, he told the current development of the Tuntian Corps: "Now there are 320,000 people in the Tuntian Corps, including 280,000 men, 40,000 women, more than 20,000 men who have felonies and want to mine, and the fields below the Tuntian Corps have more than 3 million mu, which is equivalent to 20 mu per person. ā€

Jin Liang vaguely remembered that in later generations, there were more than 100 million mu of fertile land in Hebei, while less than 60 million mu were reclaimed by the seven million Han people in the Sili area, and even if 10 million mu were left to consolidate the water and soil, there were still 30 million mu of wasteland to be reclaimed.

Han Hao then reported on some autumn harvest and winter planting, what interested Jin Liang the most was that under the leadership of Chang Lin and Shi Tao, the two agronomists, the Tuntian Corps selected excellent seeds, intensively cultivated, rotated crops, and greatly promoted water conservancy.

Jin Liang saw that the grain had been sown and was now in the slack season, so he asked Han Hao to recruit 100,000 Tuntian soldiers to be responsible for transporting grain to the 100,000 army.

With the support of the Tuntian Corps, Jin Liang's army no longer had to worry about logistics and could prepare for war wholeheartedly.

Four days passed, and the army passed through Chaoge, and Jin Liang pointed to a strange-looking and curved mountain in the distance, and asked the locals: "White rabbit, what kind of mountain is this, and why is it so strange?" ā€

He gritted his teeth and smiled: "Back to the lord, this mountain is twisted and twisted, and it is somewhat similar to the intestines of a deer, and people call it the deer intestine mountain." ā€

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "The lord had flooded more than 200,000 troops in Huangze Lake before, and his lair was on this Lugu Mountain. Yu poison fell into the master's clever plan, was flooded by Huangze Lake, and then collapsed, and now there are only more than 2,000 people left under his command, relying on his old nest cottage to survive. Zhang Yan has tried to attack a few times, but the poisonous cottage only has the Cangyan Valley Pass in the south to lead to the top of the village, and the other three sides are cliffs, plus the four high walls, it is very easy to defend and difficult to attack. Lord, when we pass by here this time, can we take advantage of the situation to sweep away Yu Poison, so that he can rest and recuperate, and then come to disturb us. ā€

Jin Liang heard that there were only more than 2,000 people in Yu Poison, and he was too lazy to do it himself, so he sent Wei Gu to lead 4,000 elite soldiers and carry ten thunderbolts to attack Yu Poison's cottage.

The 4,000 elite soldiers of Zhenggu arrived at the mouth of Cangyan Valley, the 4,000 elite soldiers cut stones into shape, and supplied the thunderbolt car to bomb the gate of the village, only half a day, the people and horses of Zhenggu broke through the cottage of Yu Poison, more than 1,000 thieves died on the spot, more than 2,000 thieves were frightened by the thunderbolt car, disarmed and surrendered on the spot, and Yu Poison escaped from a tunnel behind the cottage under the protection of hundreds of thieves.

Yu Poison escaped from Lugu Mountain, at a loss, not knowing where to go, one of his cronies said: "Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu is recruiting troops in Hanoi, and everyone wants it, so let's go to him if you don't join us." Yu Poison was cornered, and there was no way out, so he had to lead hundreds of thieves to join the Niu Auxiliary Army.
