Chapter 491 Newly Recruited Four Generals

Gao Shun is very satisfied with the results achieved in Jiangdong, and now he can stabilize, absorb the people, and develop with peace of mind, after all, there are still bandits such as Yan Baihu and Fujian and Yue natives in the territory.

Besides, if all the south of the Yangtze River is unified, how can Dong Zhuo dare to go south? Therefore, for the time being, keep Yuan Shu as a buffer; Therefore, he took the initiative to send an envoy to make friends with Yuan Shu, agreeing not to attack each other and maintain a stable and friendly situation.

Yuan Shu is now very contradictory, there is a Rong Rong in the west, there is a newly rising Yellow Turban Army in the east, Sun Jian's old army is making slow progress in Yuzhang County, and his orders are disobeyed; The Yellow Turban Army is the enemy of the family, if he can destroy the Yellow Turban Army, he can win the hearts of the people and gain the support of the scholars, but he has a sense of fear; The Yellow Turbans are developing too fast.

Military advisor Yang Hong suggested that it is better to take Yuzhang County first, otherwise, there is no territory, how to fight with the Yellow Turban Army? Besides, now that the internal situation is unstable, how to send troops? If you go outside, you must first settle inside!

Yuan Shu adopted Yang Hong's suggestion and agreed with the envoy of Qin Guan that the two sides would not attack each other and maintain their existing territory.

Qin Guan was overjoyed when he heard the news, and on the one hand he sent someone to contact Xu Zhao, the Taishou of Yuzhang County, while actively training new soldiers.

Xu Zhaoming, who was disgusted with the Yellow Turban Army's killing of scholars and local tyrants, was also full of hatred for Yuan Shu's continuous attacks, and the only thing he could do was to go west to Liu Biao.

Occupying Wu County and Danyang County, incorporating the troops of the four major families, Xue Li's troops, and the troops of Zhang Ying and others under Liu Xuan, plus the soldiers recruited in Huiji County and Qiantang County, Qin Guan gained a total of 80,000 new officers and soldiers in Yangzhou.

Coupled with the officers and soldiers of the system, the total strength of Qinguan exceeded 100,000, which can be described as a strong soldier and a strong strength.

The stronger the strength, the easier it is to get the support of the people; Only when the strength is strong can the fruits of the victory of the Yellow Turban Army be protected, and the people will have no worries.

These armies, after reorganization, must go through a period of training before they can become an army, and only then can they have a certain combat effectiveness, otherwise, Qin Guan does not want to easily throw them into the battlefield.

Fortunately, there are systematic military attachés, and the training is much easier, and it only takes time to train a strong army.

Among these soldiers, there are not only Han people who have lived in the local area for several generations, but also Han people who have just fled from Jiangbei and Danyang County, as well as a small number of Min and Yue people who have been subjugated.

The army still follows the old traditions, and junior officers need to be challenged, which stimulates the enthusiasm of the soldiers for training.

Besides, now they have enough rice, greens and broth to eat, and occasionally a large piece of meat to improve as a reward, such a life is unimaginable for them before.

Eat and drink enough, full of energy, naturally vent into training, no matter how tired the training, you can't feel bitter.

As long as you can become an officer, your salary will be doubled, and you will become a military officer and above, as well as a special officer canteen, which is a supreme honor, so no one wants to fall behind, and the training is active, the challenge is fierce, lest you fall behind.

What's more, this kind of policy will not bury their talents, and for those who have the ability, this is the best policy.

After more than two months of training and challenges, suitable junior officers were selected from each unit.

Gao Shun doesn't pay much attention to officers at the level of Duber and below, and he values officers at the level of Tun Chang the most.

Now junior officers serve as military marquies, and the highest challenge is even the tun commander; Military marquis and officers of higher rank need to have military merits, otherwise they are still held by intermediate military attachés or senior military attachés, which is also to strengthen control over the troops.

Even if it was a person at the level of a tun chief, there were more than 800 people, and Gao Shun didn't have the time and energy to check everyone's physiognomy one by one.

So he asked Qin Guan to take the list of tun chiefs and check them one by one to see if there were any historical celebrities he was familiar with or had an impression.

Sure enough, Gao Shun found four people in the list of eight hundred that he still remembered, and the ones that impressed him the most were Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong, followed by Ling Cao, and Dong Xi who couldn't make up his mind.

Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong became famous for capturing Guan Yu.

Gao Shun has a deep memory of Ma Zhong, he is simply a general killer in the Three Kingdoms period, in the Three Kingdoms, the generals are like clouds, and there are many heroes on the stage, this is an unnoticeable little person, but the five tiger generals actually have two of them to forget, and the courage to fight with the young generals of Shu and win the battle, so that many Wei generals died under their bows and arrows, it is really superb martial arts, courage, amazing!

As for Ling Cao, it is because there are too few people with the surname Ling, and in my memory, Ling Cao and Ling Tong's father and son are all rare talents.

As for Dong Xi, in Gao Shun's impression, people surnamed Dong at the end of the Han Dynasty had two sons.

So, let Qin Guan meet them separately, and he could review their attributes after the curtain and confirm what he thought in his heart.

After reviewing their attributes, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong and Ling Cao should all be historical figures, especially Ling Cao, with a force value of 85 and an intelligence of 69, he is already a rare military general in Jiangdong.

Dong Xi, eight feet long, powerful and powerful, very wonderful, with a force value of 87 and an intelligence of 64, Gao Shun thought to himself, even if he is not a historical celebrity, he is also a rare general.

Qin Guan learned about their experiences from them.

Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong lived in Jiangnan from the north, their families were poor, and they were born as rangers; It is said that the ranger is good, but in fact, he is a ruffian bully, a fierce and ruthless person.

Dong attacked Yuyao people, with a little family capital, but he is not a local tyrant.

Ling Cao, a native of Yuhang, came from a declining family of local tyrants.

According to their specialties, Gao Shun appointed Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong as military marquises, and ordered the two of them to select warriors who were familiar with both water warfare and mountain and forest warfare from the whole army, and each set up a special unit, including Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong, and all officers and soldiers enjoyed cavalry treatment.

Gao Shun was going to train them to be all-round soldiers, and after that, they would take on surprise missions or secret missions, and become sharp blades in the hands of Qin Guan.

Dong Xi and Ling Cao were both exceptionally promoted to military commanders, each leading five tribes and 2,500 people.

Dong Xi was responsible for exterminating the bandits in Huiji County, and Ling Cao was responsible for clearing the bandits in Qiantang County.

The four of them were very happy with the appointment of their posts, and the Yellow Turban Army was indeed the army of the people.

Jiangdong counties, there are many mountainous areas, the local people who can't survive, gather as thieves, occupy dangerous places to defend themselves, often plunder the Quartet, the harm is great, and even some people collude with the Fujian and Yue people, the inside should be combined with the outside, the harm is greater; If they are not exterminated, it will be difficult to stabilize the jurisdiction, the people will be fearful, and business travel will be hindered; However, the local counties were unable to clear them, so they had to be sent by Qin Guan to send strong troops.

For the independent forces in the jurisdiction, the most powerful is the bandit Yan Baihu, with more than 10,000 thieves; It occupies Yangxian County as the center, north to the Maoshan Mountains, south to the Huangding Mountains (including the later Yili Mountains), and the northern plains of Wusheng County.

His territory has high mountains and plains, relying on the mountainous areas to organize defense, county towns to organize production, plains and fertile soil to provide money and grain, and high mountains and dangerous villages to defend themselves, which are difficult to deal with.

And he can plunder Danyang County to the north, Xin'an County to the west, and Wu County to the east and south; In addition, he occupies a site with excellent transportation location, which allows him to collect tolls from passing caravans and give priority to the purchase of supplies they need.

Therefore, Yan Baihu's forces not only have land and money, but also attract a large number of people; For those people who took the initiative to vote, if their strength was acceptable, they would be arranged to join the army to eat salaries, and if they were old, weak, women and children, they would be arranged for the people to provide them with taxes.

The strength of the bandits in Huiji County and Qiantang County is small, but they are easy to unite with the natives, and the harm should not be underestimated, such as the habitual thieves Huang Longluo and Zhou Bo gathered thousands of people as thieves in Shanyin, the strength is not strong, but the harm is not small, it must be exterminated, and the place is stable.

Dong Xi and Ling Cao gladly accepted Qin Guan's order, and their hearts were even more excited, they could lead the troops alone to exterminate the bandits, and they were all locals, so they should not only be the common people, but also regarded Qin Guan's test of their ability.
