In late July 190, the soldiers began to assemble, the war materials were ready, and they went to the Sujube Alliance one after another.

"This time you go north, you have to pay attention to protect yourself, you can't just fight and rush towards the enemy formation!" Xun Cai hugged Xiao Li Mei, looked at her husband who was making final preparations, and reminded him tirelessly.

"Peace of mind, take care of the children, and wait for me to come back!" Li Ming picked up Li Chong and kissed him, then came to Xun Cai, kissed her and Xiao Li Mei respectively, and then went out, turned over on the back of Broken Moon, and then moved towards the school field.

"Sister, don't worry, I will protect my husband!" Compared with three years ago, Peng Die has become very peugeot. The body has grown up completely, perhaps because of the relationship between the Yue people, and the whole body exudes a wild beauty.

Peng Die is already an eighteen-year-old girl this year, and she is ready to become a mother. It's just that now Li Ming is about to go north, and she also wants to see the prosperity of the Central Plains. Pan Bao was already in charge of guarding Zhuji County, so Peng Die temporarily replaced him in commanding the Shanyue troops, and I have to say that the concept of 'the more people rule the more' can indeed better command these Yue soldiers.

Five hundred strong archers, one thousand cavalry, one thousand pikemen and five hundred personal guards, this is the main lineup. In addition, there were 1,000 baggage troops, 400 engineers, 300 firehead troops, and 300 medical troops. A total of 5,000 troops have been assembled on the school grounds.

Huang Zhong, Zhang Mo, Xu Huang, Dian Jie and Yan Xing were ready, Xu Huang and Yan Xing were in command of the cavalry troops, Dian Jie was still in charge of the pro-guard army, and Huang Zhong and Zhang Mo were in charge of the pikemen. On the logistics side, Zhang Ying and Chen Heng are the mainstays, and as for Yu Mi, he has been transferred to Zhang'an County to assist Xiao Yaohe in building a defensive line against the remnants of South Vietnam.

In the three years under Li Ming's command, Chen Heng has rapidly improved his strength by virtue of hard training, and he is already a qualified deputy general. It's only because of talent that the speed of progress is not fast. In Li Ming's view, it is estimated that it is unlikely that Yu Mi will become a general, and the deputy general is also very reluctant. Generally speaking, with Yu Mi's talent, he can serve as a general or captain at most.

With his own consent, he was transferred to Zhang'an County as a county lieutenant to see how well the situation was further improved. Yu Mi knew that his martial arts talent had reached the limit, and began to learn the knowledge of governing the army and the people, intending to fill the lack of force in terms of culture.

Recommended by the two of them, Zhang Ying, who joined his command, already has the talent to lead an army alone, regardless of the factor of data, Zhang Ying can already compete with Xiao Yao, so Li Ming plans to focus on training and see where his limits are.

"Expedition!" Li Ming raised his gun and raised his arms.

"Yes!" The soldiers responded one after another, in the end, they had been idle for three years, and each time it was a continuous simulation exercise, which made them eager to go to the actual battle to test their results.

Now about 20% of this batch of soldiers have been replaced, and the soldiers who are over 35 years old have gone to the thief Cao to report after receiving a discharge fee. This money is enough for their families to adjust to their new jobs and then gradually settle down.

There are also people who choose to go to the countryside to farm, or become hunters, Li Ming does not stop them, and has the right to hide soldiers for the people. The rest of the soldiers are almost no more than thirty-five years old, which is the age of strong and healthy, and as for the officers, the generals can be postponed to the age of forty in the future, and the military marquis and military horses will be promoted to the age of fifty and will be discharged naturally.

During this period, many people also sent their adult children to the army. However, Li Ming did not intend to play hereditary, and he was not the guard of the Ming Dynasty, nor did he want the guard system to appear in his hands, even if it had a certain positive significance in the early stage.

Therefore, after recruiting enough places, the final admission quota is determined by means of competition. If the conditions are not met, they will obediently give way to those who meet the standards. All recruits must start with recruits, and at most they are only recruits and battalion generals.

"Huang Xu, the first time you acted with the army, were you very nervous?" The army went out, but Li Ming still found Huang Xu.

Huang Xu graduated from Huiji Academy last year, and then rejected Li Ming's proposal to promote him into officialdom, and resolutely joined the army and became a civilian officer in the army.

"The first time I participated in the show, I was a little nervous!" Huang Xu didn't have to hold it up, and I have to say that the feeling of actual combat is completely different from the exercise, even if it's just the marching stage. The psychological pressure has skyrocketed, and there is always a fear that there will be a sudden appearance of enemy troops along the way.

"We won't face any enemies until the alliance is over!" Li Ming reminded, "We must look farther, we are a crusading army, representing the great righteousness, whoever dares to attack us at this time is Dong Zhuo's fellow party!" ”

That being said, it may not be that no one will do that, but the army is full of veterans, and they know how to avoid being attacked. The early warning mechanism in the army has also been gradually improved in recent years, especially when the night blindness of the non-commissioned officers has been cured.

"Riyao, after the war, I plan to go to Wu County to help!" Bai Xince stepped forward immediately, Zhang'an County was already safe, and he naturally didn't need to continue to stay in that remote mountainous area, and now he was the chief secretary and deputy military division of the army.

"Wu County and Huiji County must be in our hands, you can go and help Ling Xing!" Li Ming nodded, the Bai family and the Wang family further strengthened cooperation, and Bai Xin married Wang Yu's sister some time ago, and the two parties are also in-laws.

It is reasonable for Bai Xin to help in the past, and it is also a matter of course.

"With your words, I'm relieved!" Bai Xin nodded, he was very worried that Li Ming would not let him go. In fact, what was more worried was that Li Ming was suspicious and wary of Wang Yu, in his opinion, Wang Yu and Li Ming were just allies.

In fact, in private, Wang Yu has become independent from the Wang family, and at the same time worships Li Ming as the lord, but the two sides do not say anything on the surface.

The die-hard program is not a hypnosis program, there is no way to make the subordinates unconditionally mechanically accept orders, this program maintains the thinking ability of the implanters to the greatest extent, but only guides them to get close to Li Ming, and will never think about things that harm Li Ming's interests, or even do it.

Therefore, including Zhang Mo, Xi Zhicai, Xiao Yao and Wang Yu, they all have a strong sense of independence and autonomy, not robots that can only execute orders or some other cold existence......

Three days later, the army entered the county of Wu and came to the county of Wu. The prince had already prepared for the crusade, and Han Meng, the commander of the county capital, was the main general, commanding 3,000 troops, and another 2,000 heavy battalions with the army. is also 5,000 people, but it gives people the feeling that the strength of the soldiers is far inferior to that of Li Ming.

"Riyao, this time I went north to attack Dong Zhuo, what I said to Han Meng is that Yuan Shao is the mainstay, and we will fight together. The officers in the army are almost all his cronies, I mean take advantage of this Northern Expedition to drive him away or get rid of him! Wang Yu set up a banquet in the mansion that night to entertain Li Ming and others, and after everyone was drunk, he took Li Ming to the study and whispered to him.

"I have this idea too!" Li Ming smiled, "We are in Yangzhou, and this is not Yuan Valve's sphere of influence. Not to mention the new Taishou Chen Wen, and Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin, or the pure imperial party, this time Lao Cao raised fewer soldiers, and the two supported Lao Cao with 4,000 elites, both of whom were the best in the Danyang soldiers.

With the two of them in front, whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, they can't help us at all! Not to mention, now Yuan Kui has a faint tendency to split into two factions, if it weren't for Yuan Kui still pressing, I'm afraid it would have been divided long ago. A split gate valve, no longer a cause for concern! ”

"So, let's discuss how to get rid of Han Meng!" Wang Yu said with a smile.
