On the same day, Li Ming sent Zhang Mo out and brought back those prisoners who were innocent and had no bad deeds.

Atonement for their sins is their only way out. In fact, if you look closely at their backgrounds, you will find that many of them are still the original gentry or children of the family, so why these people were selected is obvious.

Rao is so, from the identity of a thief, it has become a stigma for their life. In addition, their home has been destroyed, and the only thing they can do now is to use their lives to obtain a chance to atone for their sins.

"My lord, is it a separate camp, or is it directly integrated into the army?" Zhang Mo asked in a low voice.

"Since they will all eat in the same marching pot in the future, naturally they cannot be treated differently!" Li Ming shook his head and said, "Increase their training intensity, at least fifty percent more training tasks than ordinary soldiers!" Wash the soldier's clothes for another ten days! ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Mo nodded, if they set up a camp alone, it would basically drive them to the front line of the battlefield, and they would be consumed as soon as possible. It's really nothing compared to training or housekeeping.

The intensity of the drill under Li Ming's command was much stronger than that of ordinary troops. Strengthening on this foundation, these hundreds of captives almost collapsed on the ground from exhaustion when they returned from training every day. However, Zhang Mo still brandished the leather whip and instructed them to wash the clothes for the soldiers.

Fortunately, Li Ming did not withhold their military rations, and the supply of corn was almost open. The captives are not the kind of vulgar people, they naturally have knowledge, and they have nothing to complain about when they see this.

Being a thief is not fun, but if you don't follow a thief at that time, then the family will completely lose its inheritance. It was because he had to let one of his children join the Yellow Turban Thief, but the others would rather die than give in. Anyway, I left a root!

Huangfu Song naturally investigated, and for this reason, the family of thieves or the children of wealthy gentry would give them a chance.

By the sixth day, the large forces began to assemble, and the captives barely kept up with the training. The children of the family are the children of the family, and their physical fitness is better than those soldiers from the homeless people, the key is that many of them have one or two martial arts, and even three or four people have practiced "Fighting Duel". Just because of his status, he can only start from a low-level officer.

"What about Yuan Sima?" After the troops were assembled, but they didn't see Yuan Shao, Li Ming couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Dawn!" Cao Mengde ran over in a panic, "Shuguang set off directly, he had already set off in advance yesterday, and he should be about to arrive in Julu County at this moment!" ”

"Didn't the general say that he left today?" Li Ming suddenly felt depressed, could it be that he had misremembered the time?

"It's really today, but I said at the beginning, I didn't care about the dawn and set out at the same time, and yesterday afternoon I set out early. At that time, Shuguang was still conducting training, and it was too late, so there was no announcement. Cao Cao arched his hand, which was regarded as an accusation.

"Hmph, why don't you disdain my lord to go on the expedition together, is that simply the lord not going out, how about giving him all the credit?" Zhang Mo suddenly complained unhappily.

"Zhang Mo can't talk nonsense!" Li Ming turned around and shouted, then turned to Cao Cao and asked, "What did the general say?" ”

"With the original identity, the general is not good at interfering so much. Anyway, the overall situation has been decided, and the dawn will go west to meet it. Cao Cao shook his head helplessly, no matter how good Huangfu Song is, he is only a medium-sized family, how can he compete with the behemoth of Yuan Valve.

The key is that Huangfu Songming is a eunuch on the surface, which can easily become an excuse for the family to attack him.

"Alright, let's go!" Li Ming shook his head. He understands this feeling, it is nothing more than the provincial leader son to the grassroots level gilded, the county or even the township level leader in front of him, even if this son is a section member, who dares to offend?

It's a good thing to have no Yuan Shao, at least there are no constraints. The army had already been assembled, and with Li Ming's order, it directly began to dispatch. Perhaps in order to earn some dignity for Li Ming, the soldiers almost marched forward in unison.

Looking at the neat phalanx, looking at the neat pace, even Cao Cao knew how difficult it was to train. The key is the spirit of the army, which can make the soldiers think about it wholeheartedly, what kind of general can do it? At least, Cao Cao didn't have the confidence to let his soldiers treat him like this!

At the same time, thirty miles west of Guangzong County, Yuan Shao walked on the road with 2,000 troops from his headquarters.

"Hahaha, if you guess correctly, Li Ming's house should have already started to set off, right? I wonder what they looked like when we started our journey yesterday? Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing.

If you want to talk about Li Ming's feelings, Yuan Shao doesn't hate it at most, and at the same time, he feels that he may not be able to fight for it a little bit and bring Li Ming into Yuan Valve's door. But as for Li Ming's identity, in fact, Yuan Shao didn't look at it from beginning to end.

Born in a poor family, if it weren't for the luck of joining Zhu Jun's command, then this Li Ming would have been blessed by his ancestors to become a school captain in his life. But his background is still his shortcoming, even if he later marries the Xun family.

The key is still a little jealous, just because he was the first to open the gate of Guangzong County and kill Zhang Liang, it was not Cao Cao or Huangfu Song who got the biggest credit, not even him, it was actually this poor family!

"With General Li's character, if we act with him and arrive in Julu County, we will inevitably take the lead. At that time, if he kills Zhang Bao again, then won't the young master be able to earn any credit? "Early yesterday morning, the strategists sent by Yuan Valve privately suggested to him, saying that they should simply go out one day in advance.

In this way, you can enter the battle first and defeat Zhang Bao first. As for Li Ming, just watch himself make meritorious service from behind.

Yuan Shao felt that this made sense, so he took the people of his headquarters and started his journey yesterday afternoon. From yesterday to now, not counting the time to rest, it has been more than 30 miles to make do, which is also within the normal range.

After a morning's journey, the soldiers were already tired. However, Zhang Baobu hid in Julu County and did not dare to come out, so naturally he did not need to consider the problem of being attacked. According to this route, you can reach the outside of Julu County in the afternoon, rest for a night, and then attack the city. At that time, even if Li Ming arrives in time, he can only drink some soup behind his back!

Yuan Shaozheng was thinking about Li Ming's depressed expression, secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't want to hear the rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance. There was little doubt that it must have been the sound of a cavalry force moving.

It's just that the two armies of Yue Cai and Tun Cai have been disabled, and only Li Ming has a thousand cavalry, many of whom are still prisoners, and it is impossible for them to run out of such a momentum...... In this way, there is only one truth!

"Enemy attack!" Yuan Shao shouted, and the soldiers quickly prepared for defense. I have to say that this is indeed an elite unit, and the officers are all veterans, so they are very experienced in arranging troops and dealing with enemy troops.

It was at this time that a cavalry unit appeared on the horizon and charged directly towards where they were.

"The previous shame, now collect some interest and come back!" As the commander, Chu Feiyan said lightly, led the cavalry unit that rushed from Taihang Mountain, and killed Yuan Shao's department in a mighty way.
