Chapter 160: Prepare for war, and add more talents

After pacifying Cheng Yu, Su Chen returned to the barracks where Zhang Fei and the two knelt, and saw the two people kneeling honestly in front of him, Su Chen's feelings were quite complicated, and he should be grateful to Zhang Fei for being reasonable, if it weren't for Zhang Fei's troubles, he might not have been able to get Cheng Yu's talent.

However, Zhang Fei's reckless behavior cannot be connived at, otherwise he may not be able to make some moths in the future, so he plans to take this opportunity to rectify Zhang Fei's temper.

Thinking of this, he pretended to be majestic and asked, "Yide, are you guilty?" ”

"Lord, I ......" Zhang Fei was still about to argue, but when he raised his head and saw Su Chen's stern gaze, he was suddenly weak, so he had to say: "My subordinates are guilty." ”

"Tell me, then, what did you do wrong?"

"This ...... The subordinates don't know! ”

"Humph!" Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Su Chen didn't know where he was, he didn't realize his problem at all, so he reprimanded: "You are very short-tempered on weekdays, and often beat and scold the soldiers, if it weren't for the supervision of Gongyou, I don't know what kind of chaos will be made, and now even Mr. Cheng has been tied up, although Ben Hou knows that you are loyal, but your move is too Meng Lang, do you understand?" ”

"My subordinates understand, my lord, I will never do it again in the future!" When Zhang Fei heard his words, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in his heart that the lord would finally not punish him.

said that Zhang Fei fell, and he said to Sun Gan again: "Gongyou, as a member of the army, you usually have to supervise Yide's behavior, this time you did not dissuade in time, and you are also guilty of dereliction of duty, it is understandable to read you, forget it this time, don't you take it as an example, do you understand?" ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Sun Qian is an honest man and does not distinguish.

"As for Yide...... Su Chen thought about it, if he didn't leave a memory, he was afraid that he would forget the pain after his scars, so he said: "Yide, punish you for not drinking alcohol for three months, supervised by Gongyou, if you dare to drink secretly, Benhou will never spare it!" ”

"Huh? Lord, if you don't change the punishment, I can't live without wine. Hearing that he was going to cut off his wine for three months, Zhang Fei was reluctant, but because they were called master servants and were actually brothers in robes, Zhang Fei dared to speak like this.

"You still dare to bargain? Do you want to add another three months? ”

Seeing the other party's ill-intentioned eyes, Zhang Fei subconsciously replied: "No need, March is March, it's a big deal, I don't drink for three months." ”

"Well, Yide, you must know that now that you are the commander of an army, if you can't control your desires, it will cause very serious consequences, so don't mess around like before, Ben Hou has high expectations for you, I hope you will not live up to Ben Hou's expectations."

"The subordinates obeyed the order, thank you lord!"

"Go ahead!"

After the two went down, they rested for half a day, and Su Chen ordered the camp to start, and a month later, the army arrived in Gaotang, which was not far from Julu.

After arriving in Gaotang, Su Chen did not continue to advance, more than two hundred miles northwest of Gaotang is the base camp of the Yellow Turbans Guangzong, the three brothers of Zhang Jiao have two million troops entrenched here, and there are millions of Yellow Turbans raging in the surrounding counties, such a huge force is not something that can be disintegrated in a short period of time, so the top priority is to practice with Dong Zhuo first.

Fortunately, Yang Aruo did not disappoint him, just when he stayed in Gaotang, Yang Aruo soon came to the barracks, and when he saw Yang Aruo, Su Chen immediately asked: "Boyang, where is Dong Zhonglang's department now?" ”

After Yang Aruo received Su Chen's order, he hurried to Jizhou, with the help of the power of the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce, he quickly figured out the situation of the Yellow Turban in Jizhou, and when he heard Su Chen ask about Dong Zhuo, he immediately replied: "Back to the lord, after Dong Zhonglang arrived in Julu, he was in a stalemate with the Yellow Turban for several months, frequently lost, and lost his troops, the original 200,000 army has now gone to half of it, and is retreating to Guangping to station, I don't know why, Zhang Jiao, who is in Guangzong, has not taken any action against him, and Zhang Bao is also responsible for guarding the city on weekdays, The Yellow Turban Army in the surrounding counties all respected a thief named Chu Feiyan, who was rumored to be Zhang Jiao's personal disciple. ”

"I didn't expect Dong Zhonglang to be beaten to the ground, but Zhang Jiao's army is dozens of times larger than our army, and it is not easy to gnaw this hard bone." Su Chen sighed and asked, "Zhang Jiao claims to have two million soldiers in Guangzong, do you know how many real soldiers are available?" ”

"This ......" Yang Aruo replied hesitantly: "Lord, we don't have an exact number, but the reason why Zhang Jiao claims to be two million male soldiers is mainly because he coerced the people of Julu County from the surrounding Qinghe Kingdom, Anping Kingdom, Zhao County and Zhongshan Kingdom, and Zhang Jiao relied on a large number of manpower and material resources to build Guangzong into a water, and it seems that he intends to entrench himself in Jizhou for a long time. ”

"That's the case, so to speak, these two million male soldiers are only afraid of not much water, and this battle is not easy to fight. By the way, you may contact Dong Zhonglang's department? ”

"Absolutely! What does the lord command? ”

Su Chen immediately wrote a letter, handed it to him, and said, "If you give this letter to Dong Zhonglang, you must hand it over to him in person." ”

"No!"

Knowing the general situation, Su Chen gathered the generals to discuss countermeasures, and in the face of the locust-like Yellow Turban army, the generals had no good way, and they all looked at Hua Xin and the three of them.

Hua Xin, as a person from the Gaotang Dynasty, knows a lot about this place, and said: "My lord, if our army wants to break Zhangjiao, I am afraid we have to rely on the family of Jizhou, west of the Gaotang Dynasty is the Qinghe country, and the Qinghe Cui family is the largest family in the county, why don't the lords come to visit?" ”

"Qinghe Cui's clan?" At the mention of this name, Su Chen was like a fish in his throat, thinking that he had killed a side branch of the Cui clan at the beginning, although the Qinghe Cui clan did not make a move on him at that time, but now he wants to come to the door to ask for advice, I am afraid that the other party will not give him any good face.

He didn't want to put a hot face on his cold butt, and the reason for this was not easy to say directly, and only the six generals here knew a lot about it.

"I don't know what other families can use in the background?"

Hearing Su Chen's words, Hua Xin was like a few family treasures, and said: "Wei County Shen Clan, Julu Guo Clan, Qinghe Cui Clan, Zhongshan Zhen Clan are all a big family, Jizhou celebrities have a large number of people, and there are many great talents in the countryside, such as Guangping Fuzhu, Julu Tianfeng, Qinghe Cui Yan, Anping Leyin, etc., this is a well-known Magi in the state county, if the lord wants to break the yellow scarf, in addition to the assistance of the Jizhou family, but also need to rely on the prestige of the local celebrities to make a difference. ”

"Hmm!" Hua Xin said that he thought it was true, it seems that it is necessary to rely on the local family, if not, to destroy Zhang Jiao is just an empty word, after thinking about it, he said: "Ziyu, from now on, you will search for talents in the state and county for Ben Hou, Ben Hou is here to wait, as for the local family of Lian Nuo, how about Mr. Zibu come forward in this matter?" ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Hua Xin and Zhang Zhao all lined up to respond.

Su Chen reorganized the army in Gaotang, trained the soldiers, and Hua Xin actively ran outside, and there were results in a few days.

Lejin, a native of Yangping Weiguo, the word Wenqian, this is the first talent to come to the barracks, this person heard that Su Chen gathered troops to fight thieves in Gaotang and recruited talents from all over the world.

His addition directly made four of Cao Cao's five good generals in the future have been collected by Su Chen, only one is forbidden, and the rest Zhang He, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao have now become generals under his command.

Su Chen asked Zhang Fei to try Lejin's force, and found that he was now also a cultivator of the Qi Sea Realm, and had broken through the innate nature, Su Chen immediately appointed him as Sima, temporarily classified into the Qingzhou soldier sequence, and commanded the five thousand soldiers who had joined before.

A few days later, another person came to the barracks, this person's name is Zhu Ling, the word Wenbo, a native of Qinghe, Jizhou, and a famous general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. In history, he was named the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty and the Marquis of Wei. It can also be regarded as a famous general of the Three Kingdoms.

Zhu Ling's cultivation is similar to Lejin, Su Chen still appointed him as Sima, classified into the Qingzhou soldier sequence, and commanded 5,000 Qingzhou soldiers.

Half a month later, Hua Xin found several talents for Su Chen, namely Le Jin, Zhu Ling, Zhaozhao, Le Yin, and Cui Yan.

Le Yin is a hermit in Anping State, teaching as a profession, similar to Wang Lie, after Hua Xin came to visit, Le Yin bluntly said that he had no interest in the career, but he agreed to go to Taihang Academy to teach, and recommended his students to Hua Xin.

As for Cui Yan, it was after Zhang Zhao visited Cui Mi, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, that Cui Mi promised to help Su Chen, on the condition that his second son Cui Yan serve under Su Chen.

It is worth mentioning that the most powerful of the Cui clan is now the Boling Cui clan, and the current head of the Boling Cui clan is Cui Lie, that is, the brother of Cui Yu, the former Wuyuan County Shou Cui Yu, the Boling Cui clan was already a big family in the Eastern Han Dynasty, as for the Qinghe Cui clan, the real rise began with Cui Yan's generation.

Cui Mi has two sons, the eldest son Cui Ba, the second son Cui Yan, the real development of the Qinghe Cui clan in the later generations is also Cui Yan's branch, and Cui Yan's younger brother Cui Lin once served as the Sikong during the Cao Wei period.

Cui Yan is only in his twenties now, with a simple personality, slow speech, fond of fencing, and advocating martial arts.

As for Lejin Zhu Ling recruited three people, all of them were appointed as Sima, under the command of Zhang Fei, each leading a 5,000 troops, and now Zhang Fei has Zhou Cang, Sima Ju, Tang Zhou, Guan Cheng, Xu Sheng, Lu Dai, Zhu Ling, Le Jin, and nine generals, which can be described as a star-studded gathering, and the nine Sima each led 5,000 troops, Zhang Fei himself commanded 10,000 troops, and 55,000 Qingzhou soldiers, both in terms of numbers and generals, they were already the largest military force under his command.

Just when he was preparing for the war, Dong Zhuo's reply came quickly, after reading the letter, he discussed with the generals, immediately pulled out the camp, prepared to join forces with Dong Zhuo, and was interviewing to explore the reality of the yellow scarf.
