Up to now, Gao Shun's biggest enemy is no longer the Shi clan, but Dong Zhuo and the imperial court, and he must eliminate Dong Zhuo and complete the unification.

The north is stable and begins to deal with Dong Zhuo, and there is a four-year agreement with Dong Zhuo, it is inconvenient to make a direct move, Gao Shun is ready to let Qin Guan and Lu Su in Yangzhou deal with Dong Zhuo, I believe that with his support behind him, Lu Su and Qin Guan will definitely make a difference.

Dong Zhuo had strong cavalry, but the cavalry units of Qinguan and Lusu were very weak in comparison, so they had to restrain their cavalry units in order to get more results.

At this time, Gao Shun remembered the repeater, the craftsman has developed a repeater that can shoot three times, after years of improvement, the technology has been very mature, the power is great, and it is easy to install the arrow again, has the ability to continue fighting, very practical.

This kind of repeater can be shot in a single shot with the best hit rate, or it can be fired in a row, with three arrows fired at once; It can pierce leather armor within 80 steps, and it is extremely powerful; The more important advantage is that it is labor-saving, one person can easily operate, and it will not affect the level of continuous combat like a bow and arrow, shooting more than ten in a row; What Gao Shun valued most was that soldiers using repeaters were extremely easy to train, and did not need years of hard training like archers; And it can be produced in batches, the production cycle is short, and the yield is high, which is more advantageous than bows and arrows.

The advantage of this kind of repeater is also the disadvantage, that is, it is very easy to be imitated, if it falls into the hands of nomads, it will bring great harm to the farming people, so Gao Shun is extremely strict with the control of technology and repeater to avoid leakage.

Gao Shun planned to equip the crossbow to Qin Guan's army first.

To this end, Gao Shun specially synthesized 5,000 junior infantry, with a senior military attache serving as the military commander, ten middle-level generals serving as the military marquis, and junior military generals serving as the tun commander, which is definitely a high-level infantry.

Two thousand of them were equipped with war horses, which facilitated rapid movement over long distances.

In addition to a repeating crossbow, each soldier is also equipped with a bow and arrow, and a waist knife; Cavalry is equipped with shields, bows and spears.

It was secretly trained by Li Qiang, and then sent to the Jiangdong area after the training was qualified.

Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Judge, Feng Ji and others have become Gao Shun's close masterminds, and they are also planning Jingzhou's strategy at this time.

Xi Zhicai's point of view is that Lu Su will remain unmoved, and after Dong Zhuo and the imperial court cross the river, he will launch a war to recover the four counties of Jiangbei in Jingzhou; At present, the focus is on Jiangdong, and Qin Guan must eliminate the forces of Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, unify the counties of Jiangdong, and prepare to meet Dong Zhuo when Dong Zhuo's main force has not yet moved south and fights against Liu Pan.

Now Qin Guan is the pastor of Yangzhou, and he has the holy decree to eliminate Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, eliminate these two forces, and the division is famous.

Jia Xu took over Guo Jia's position, was in charge of intelligence work, knew the situation in Jiangdong well, and objected: "Although Sun Ce is young, he took over his father's old department, there are many generals, and the officers and soldiers are also veterans who have received actual battles. ”

Feng Ji learned that even Lu Su and Qin Guan in Yangzhou were chess pieces secretly arranged by Gao Shun, and felt that Yuan Shao was unjustly defeated, so he let go of his heart and prepared to assist Gao Shun with all his might. So he suggested: "Although Sun Ce is brave, but his background is insufficient, the financial resources are not enough to feed so many troops, the rampant conquest is tyrannical, and the people are miserable. But the battle against the Taishi is not enough. ”

Gao Shun listened to the opinions of the two of them, and both hoped to increase the strength of Qin Guan, but the senior generals could not be sent to Jiangdong, otherwise it would be more suspicious, Gao Shun believed that with the crossbow troops, it was easy to deal with Sun Ce, but Dong Zhuo's cavalry was more numerous, the combat power was stronger, and the five thousand crossbowmen were more than enough to defend, and the attack was insufficient, and Liu Ye praised: "The situation in Jiangdong is very good, this is all due to Ziyang's merits, take a pacification strategy, recruit the people of Shanyue, and recruit Shanyue warriors to join the army, it is not difficult to defeat Sun Ce, and it is difficult to deal with the Liangzhou iron cavalry of Taishi." , therefore, Qin Guan temporarily befriended the Taishi and stabilized Jiangdong. ”

Xi Zhicai was very satisfied with the situation in Jiangdong, and praised: "Ziyang is a man who seeks the country, has the talent to govern the country, and now Jiangdong is strong and strong, the people are rich, and it is very easy to recover Yuzhou County and Xin'an County, although the lord can rest assured." ”

Jia Xu reminded: "Liu Ziyang is a benevolent gentleman, not Li Ru's opponent, so the lord should make a decision as soon as possible." ”

This made Gao Shun very difficult, Liu Ye was a relative of the Han family, in order to save the court, he would go all out to fight Dong Zhuo, even if he was defeated; And how could Liu Ye's strategy be Li Ru's opponent? It will be defeated, which is not in the interests of Gao Shun.

It's just that no one can replace Liu Ye's position at present, which makes people helpless.

Feng Ji said: "My lord, this matter is easy, after the main force of the Taishi crosses the river, Lu Zijing can attack the four counties of Jiangbei and contain the soldiers and horses of the Taishi; After Ziyang and Taishi start the war, Zijing can be allowed to take refuge in Jiangdong, and the strategy is based on Zijing, believing that the wisdom of the two of them is enough to fight against Li Ru. ”

Gao Shun thought about it for a while, and felt that Feng Ji's method was good; In order not to expose his strength at one time, Gao Shun decided to send only 3,000 crossbowmen to Qin Guan in the first batch, only for Sun Ce and Yuan Shu, to complete the unification of Jiangdong.

So, he ordered Xi Zhicai to give an order, let Lu Su defend himself, not to attack Dong Zhuo, so that he could rest assured that he would go south; Give Qin Guan and Liu Ye an order, ordering them to defeat Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, unify the Jiangdong counties, prepare for the confrontation with Dong Zhuo, and at the same time, continue to maintain friendly relations with Dong Zhuo for a short time and confuse Dong Zhuo.

In order not to expose the relationship with the Qinguan Pass in Jiangdong, the crossbow troops were not allocated to other armies, and even the troops guarding Yecheng were not equipped.

When Lu Su received the order, he was a little disappointed and had to develop internal affairs.

Qin Guan was very excited, he liked to fight.

Liu Ye secretly rejoiced in his heart that after completing the unification of the Jiangdong region, he could use Gao Shun's power to fight against Dong Zhuo, and it was best to defeat Dong Zhuo and save the imperial court, which was his mission as a royal clansman.

The three thousand crossbowmen from Gao Shun's aid made the two of them even more excited, with this secret force, as a killer weapon, it would definitely give Sun Jian and even Dong Zhuo a fatal blow.

Now the generals of the Jiangdong counties, if they want to improve their military ranks, they completely look at the military exploits, so that everyone is eager to try, and they have long had the idea of attacking Yuan Shu.

Now most of Jiangbei is very stable, the people have no desire to go south, in order to supplement the people, Liu Ye actively recruited the Shanyue and Fujian people, took them out of the mountainous areas, taught them advanced farming methods, promoted the development of productive forces, and replenished the population; Even the Shanyue and Min people who stayed in the mountains, Liu Ye also actively traded with them, recruited them into the army, let them get rich salaries, and gradually eliminated the contradictions with the Han people.

Fortunately, Qin Guan had expelled the local tyrants and scholars in the south of the Yangtze River before, and there was no restriction, and there was a large amount of land to settle these Shanyue and Min people.

Besides, Zhenrong has now completely surrendered to Qin Guan, temporarily giving up religious contradictions, and jointly dealing with Yuan Shu, otherwise, he would have been eliminated by Yuan Shu a long time ago.

Gao Shun praised their achievements.

Qin Guan and Liu Ye were very happy and had a sense of accomplishment, and now the time was ripe to eliminate Yuan Shu.
