Chapter 261: The Princes Respond
"Then we will ignore it! Sit back and watch Yuan Benchu make a fool of himself! Yuan Shu said.
"Nope! Contrary! Not only can the lord not ignore it, but he must support Yuan Benchu and fight Dong Thief together! At least nominally! “
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Yuan Shuyi was interested when he heard it.
"The lord can take this opportunity to send people to Shouchun, Lujiang and other places to recruit soldiers and make friends with county officials. Take the opportunity to expand its influence in Yangzhou and Yuzhou...... In addition, the lord can also recruit Sun Jian, the shou of Changsha County, to come to him. Sun Wentai has long been attached to the Yuan family, and owes the lord a recommendation, so he will definitely not refuse. Sun Wentai's vote is tantamount to setting an example for other county guards! At that time, the wise men and generals who defected to the lord will surely be in an endless stream! “
"What a plan! Zishan is talented, not under Zhang Zifang! After Yuan Shu heard Yan Xiang's idea, he smiled happily.
"The lord praised it!" Yan Xiang said modestly, "The lord is famous far and wide, and he will be able to shoulder the heavy task of reviving the Han Dynasty!" “
"Congratulations! Congratulations to my lord! The rest of the generals congratulated Yuan Shudao.
……
Nanyang Wancheng, the county guard, He Xian, He Miao also convened a cadre of civil servants and military generals to discuss countermeasures. Liu Wei, Tang Wan and Empress Dowager He are now based in Hejiabao, but they do not participate in the operation of Nanyang County. Under Zhang Ji's acupuncture treatment, Liu Wei's condition has improved, but the damaged consciousness has not yet awakened, Zhang Ji said that it will take time to recover slowly, as for whether he can recover in the end, he can only resign himself to fate. For the sake of Liu Wei's safety, with the consent of Empress Dowager He, He Xian decided not to announce the whereabouts of the two for the time being. It is equivalent to acquiescing to Dong Zhuo's rhetoric, and the two have passed away.
Under He Xian, there are three strategists Guo Jia, Li Yan, and Huang Yueying; There are military generals Wen Xiang, Wei He, Zhao Yun, Wen Ping, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, Gao Shun, Li Feng (a gust of wind), Wang Xiaoxiao, Feng Wuji and others, commanding more than 30,000 people in the Nanyang army and county soldiers, which can be regarded as a prince.
Among them, the 1,000 Black Mountain and Zhongshan cavalry under Zhao Yun were unified under the command of Zhang Liao. That is, the Bingzhou flying cavalry under Zhang Liao's command, the number of people and horses increased to 3,000. This is also the only pure cavalry team under He Xian's command.
Gao Shun's camp was expanded from 800 to 3,000. Gao Shun is good at using military formations, and his idea of building an army is to take 500 people as a unit, or all use hooks, or all use swords and shields, and the offensive and defensive are integrated, and the power is amazing in small-scale battles. When He Miao took Gao Shun to quell the rebellion in Xingyang, Gao Shun used his 500 soldiers to resist several waves of attacks by thousands of rebels, and after the enemy's morale declined, he waited for an opportunity to launch a counterattack, broke into the rebels' Chinese army in one fell swoop, destroyed the thief leader, and was led by He Miao who watched the battle as a celestial.
Wen Ping and Wei Yan each led 3,000 Nanyang soldiers. Wen Ping continued the idea of building an army with a crossbow and a long spear. Wei Yan prefers broadswords, so the soldiers he chooses are all tall types. He Xian specially ordered people to build 500 sets of full-body armor and set up 500 heavy infantry with Wei Yan, which made Wei Yan overjoyed.
The Mask Armor Army, which had previously suffered heavy casualties, was replenished and adjusted and returned to the full strength of 500 people. Together with He Gan's special operations squad that returned from Luoyang, a total of 588 people, He Xian's personal guard battalion was commanded by Zhao Yun.
Ren Zhong reorganized a group of 100 embroidered messengers as personal guards to protect the safety of Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He, but did not participate in the overall operation of the Nanyang army.
Ren Hongchang doesn't like martial arts, but he is very interested in medical skills, and he soaks in Zhongjing Medical College every day, sticking to Zhang Ji to learn medical skills. According to Zhang Ji, her talent is still above Xiaoyuer, and she has the potential to become a famous doctor. Whether he can become a famous doctor, He Xian is not sure, but this "Diao Chan" is estimated to have no entanglement with Lu Bu, and there is no need to entertain people with sex, and he is torn between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.
After He Xian returned to Nanyang, Zhang Ji took the burden and returned to Zhongjing Medical College to do medical research work, and occasionally gave a few lectures on incurable diseases to students.
Wang Yue changed his haunting habits, haunted the Water Mirror Academy every day, drank tea and read books, and occasionally came to Yaxing and showed a few peerless swordsmanship, which won the worship of Nanyang students. Dean Sima specially hired him as a guest teacher of Shuijing Academy, and he could open interest courses from time to time to teach the students of the academy swordsmanship. Under the auspices of Sima Hui, Shuijing Academy has become the largest and most prestigious academy in Nanyang, and its influence directly follows that of Xiangyang Lumenshan Academy and Yingchuan Academy. The first batch of students who graduated from Shuijing Academy have gone to Nanyang counties to take up jobs and become the new force of Nanyang County. Of course, the reason why Wang Yue is interested in the academy is because the academy has hired a new female teacher, who has a deep research in "ink studies".
"Moxue" was once banned by the Han Dynasty, and all major academies avoided it. However, Shuijing Academy wants to take an unusual path, and even medicine, arithmetic, including Huang Yueying's organ science, these unheard of disciplines are taught in a grand manner, why can't there be one more "ink science"? This female teacher who is proficient in ink studies, surnamed He Mingying, is said to be the distant cousin of He Xian, the general of Wei......
After everyone sat down, He Xian handed the text to He Qiang and asked him to circulate it to everyone.
"Bonghyo, what do you think?"
Guo Jia glanced at it hurriedly and chuckled: "Yuan Benchu is shrewd!" It is expected that Dong Zhuo has established Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng as traitors, and the next step will inevitably be to send troops to attack Bohai and Runan. So he took the lead and issued a call to support the Han family in the name of the three princes, which is indeed a good move! ”
"Among the murderers who killed the general, the mastermind is Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shao can't get out of it! Shall we still heed its call? "Zhao Yun has always been obsessed with the failure to save He Jin, so he has a strong hostility towards the Yuan family.
Guo Jia glanced at Zhao Yun helplessly and said, "This time and that time!" The general's revenge must be avenged, but to defeat Dong Zhuo, my Nanyang army must also participate! ”
He Xian agreed with Guo Jia's opinion, nodded and said: "Crusading against Dong Thief is a state affair, and killing Yuan Shu is a personal vendetta." We must not influence state affairs because of personal enmity. What's more, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge! Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao thought that we didn't know that they were the murderers of the general, so we could pretend to welcome them, and after the crusade against Dong Zhuo, let them pay for their blood debts! ”
Since He Xian said so, Zhao Yun no longer had any objections. The rest of the people also nodded their heads and agreed with He Xian's argument.
"This time the princes will join the alliance, and the general wants to lead the division Guo Jia, Captain Wen Pingling, Captain Wei Yan of Changshui, Captain Gao Shun of the Infantry, Captain Zhang Liao of the Tun Cavalry, Captain Zhao Yun of the Yue Cavalry and more than 12,000 sergeants under his command to fight. During the general's absence, the affairs of Nanyang County were decided by the hussar general He Miao, assisted by Li Yan, Wen Xiang, Wei He, Li Feng, and Wang Xiaoxiao! Do you have any doubts? ”
"The last general obeys the general's orders!" The crowd stood up and spoke in unison.
