Yuan Shu died, but only one Yan was by his side to see him off and accompany him to the funeral. Yang Hong even opened the door of Pingyu to welcome the arrival of the royal department, and the generals and ministers who had flattered and flattered Yuan Shu in the past resolutely surrendered at this moment.

Now is the time to calm people's hearts, and the king will not bother with them. Many of them come from small families, and even many of them can become families because of Yuan Valve, in other words, they who have lost the protection of Yuan Valve, they are already like lost dogs, so there is nothing to worry about.

Li Ming advocates appointing people on the basis of merit, so select them according to this criterion. Among so many people, he Wenchen only took a fancy to Yan Xiang, but it was a pity that he had already buried Yuan Shu. The military general only took a fancy to Ji Ling, but when he settled down, he received the news that Ji Ling had gone north to join the imperial court, and the 50,000 army had become the imperial army.

Sun Jian has already accepted Ji Ling, and he has also accepted these 50,000 burdens. You must know that eating in the army is now a problem, and there are 50,000 more mouths, Sun Jian's pressure can be imagined.

"General Huang, as General Zhenbei, I ordered to be stationed in Runan County to guard against the Han Ting army in the north!" On the third day of the Pingyu campaign, Wang Yu, as the general of Zhenbei, issued an order to Huang Zhong.

"Whoa!" Huang Zhong happily accepted the order, Yuan Shu had already been ambushed, so it didn't matter whether Peijun fought or not. On the contrary, if the Han court in the north suddenly moves south, then it will be a tough battle.

Having said that, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is impossible for Hanting to go south. Even Bai Xin and Chen Gong analyzed that with Ji Ling's 50,000 army, they were afraid that Sun Jian would have a headache for a while, and if he didn't handle it well, he wouldn't be able to mutiny.

"Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Chen Lan and Lei Bo stayed behind, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, follow me to Peijun!" Wang Yu further ordered.

"Whoa!" Those who went out by name were naturally very happy, and it was nothing if they didn't get their name. Even for Chen Lan and Lei Bo, being able to avoid going to the front line is the best result.

"There is no enemy in front of us anymore, so we have to march a hundred miles every day, don't tell me no, which army is dragging its feet, tonight's dinner will be halved!" Wang Yu looked at the army that had been prepared and gave an order directly.

These soldiers eat three meals a day, and at the same time there is locust powder to supplement protein, fish and meat every day, and in a few years, their physical fitness is comparable to that of ordinary soldiers in later generations, and it is only 50 kilometers in a hundred miles, if they can't go like this, it would be too unreasonable.

"Whoa!" Of course, the soldiers understood this, and they had been trained for rapid marching many times, and had long been accustomed to continuous rapid marching.

"Logistics preparations, at dinner, prepare some solid Peiyuan decoction for each soldier!" Wang Yu continued to order.

"Whoa!" Xi Zhicai, who was in charge of logistics, gladly accepted the order, how many similar medicinal materials were needed in logistics, and even after the peace was laid, a lot of them were captured, which was completely enough for the supply of the whole army for several months.

When the soldiers heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they were also practicing Qi, but it was a pity that it was the acquired qi, or the lowest level of "Fighting Battle". Rao is like this, the longer the cultivation time, the greater the energy consumed, in other words, the more energy needs to be replenished.

If they only rely on food, then it is difficult to meet their needs, and a bowl of decoction is very important to them. In the final analysis, why it is difficult to form an army that is purely practiced Qi is actually nothing more than this.

The cost is too high, and after they retire, they will definitely pass on the method of practicing Qi to their descendants, resulting in the proliferation of the method of practicing Qi, which is difficult for the imperial court to control, not to mention, if their descendants do evil, the cost of arrest will increase a lot. As a feudal ruler, it is natural that you would not want to see the cost of maintaining stability increase several times.

I am even more unwilling to see that in order to train such an army, military spending will skyrocket dozens of times.

No matter how it is done, ordinary soldiers will still occupy the mainstream of future wars. At most, improvements will be made in armor and weapons, so that even if the military budget increases, it will only be several times, and it is still within the tolerance of the princes.

As for the soldiers who practice Qi, they will inevitably only occupy a few troops, about three or five thousand in number, mainly used for breakthroughs and surprise attacks, and will not be put into the conventional battlefield unless necessary.

From another point of view, Li Ming, who has more than 50,000 Qi soldiers in one breath, seems to make the princes of the world hurt. There is such a local tyrant opponent, and the pressure is very high!

That being said, as the territory occupied grew, these armies also began to disperse to various places. Ordinary soldiers will still become the main combat force, and the proportion of soldiers who practice Qi will continue to decrease, and eventually it will be on par with other princes.

Two days later, the army entered Peijun and began to sweep away from the south to the north.

At the same time, outside Pei County, Li Ming looked at Zang Ba and the others who were closed and couldn't come out, looked at Xu Huang boredly and asked, "Wang Yu and them, they should have entered the scope of Pei County, right?" ”

"According to the intelligence, they should have launched an attack on Qian County today, and the request sent by Wang Yu earlier also mentioned that Lu Bu would start the attack from Xuan County and sweep across the entire south of Pei County. Wang Yu started the attack from Qian County and came all the way to this side. Xu Huang stepped forward and replied.

"Five days, tell them that if they can't call in five days, then I won't wait for them!" Li Ming said.

Due to their containment, and the news from Yuan Shu's side has not yet arrived, Zang Ba has always meant that the rear is still safe, and he is using power to block Li Ming in Pei County. I have to say that he does have some ability, all the rivers are polluted, and Li Ming has to find water to drink from Pengcheng County in the rear.

This is very troublesome, and the process of transportation will also produce consumption, and now that the weather is very dry, the lack of water can easily cause heat stroke.

"My subordinates are going to send a letter to General Wang!" Guo Jia knew that Li Ming was talking to him, so he replied.

The next day, Wang Yu received the news, after all, Xu Huang also attached great importance to this, and the person who sent the letter was one person and three horses, set off lightly, galloped all the way, and delivered the letter to Wang Yu in one day, and a war horse was tired to death.

"Five days, it takes three days to march, do you want us to storm all the way?" Wang Yu looked at the letter and suddenly became depressed.

"General, that Zang Ba is in the strong wall of Pei County, and the waterways and water sources within a radius of dozens of miles have been destroyed by him. Our water is all transported through Pengcheng County, and the lord thinks that we should fight quickly, otherwise the army will be unstable if it drags on! The messenger replied.

"Got it!" Wang Yu naturally understood the arduousness of the situation, and nodded to show that he understood.

The army went north, but fortunately, many county commanders opened their doors and surrendered after knowing that Yuan Shu had fallen.

said that Peijun's situation was originally complicated, not to mention that it originally belonged to Yuzhou, but Tao Qian took it up, changed some people, and left some people; Then it was recaptured by Yuan Shu not long ago, and many people stayed in office, and many people were replaced by his people; Now that Yuan Shu is finished, Li Ming has killed him, and many county orders have surrendered twice, and they don't care about this time.

In troubled times, which side is strong and which side to take refuge in is already the way for these little people to survive. Unless they really can't get by, they will be like ostriches, silently enduring, regardless of whether he is Han orthodoxy or not.

In two days, Wang Yu went all the way east, and before the evening of the third day, he laid down the county of Pei County. Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Yu ordered Zhao Yun to clean up the law and order and temporarily spend the night here tonight.
