Chapter 21: Xu Gongming, Hedong

On the day he entered Luoyang, he received the news of Dong Zhuo's defeat, which was indeed too much of a coincidence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

According to the battle report on the front, a part of the Baibo Army suddenly fought out of the rear of Dong Zhuo's army, from the vicinity of Wenxi County, and directly defeated Dong Zhuo's army with a north-south flank attack. Dong Zhuo's report pointed out that this army may have taken a path from the mountains to the back, but for some reason it did not directly attack Luoyang, but directly attacked the rear and suddenly killed.

This is also the strangest place in the war report, this army has more than 20,000 people, and it is well equipped, it is obviously able to directly attack Wenxi County and even Anyi County, but they did not do that, but directly attacked Dong Zhuojun from behind. The second is that the timing is too coincidental, Li Yu has just arrived in Luoyang, but there is a situation directly over there, isn't it too coincidental......

Li Yu even wondered if this unit was a 'volunteer army' in some sense. When necessary, it is the White Wave Army, and in peacetime, it appears in the form of a village warrior, and even if necessary, it can become a hero of the 'crusade' against the White Wave Army or something.

looked at Liu Hong out of the corner of his eye, and saw that his expression was very angry, and he knew that he had guessed correctly without thinking about it.

The family was directly involved in this operation, and it seems that they did not want to feast on themselves in Luoyang, nor did they want to have too much contact with themselves. One is unnecessary, and the other is not equal in status. The Li clan in Longxi has been under their suppression, but everyone is a gate valve, and it is inevitable to be hypocritical when they meet......

I have to say that their approach is also very much in line with Li Yu's meaning. At the end of the day, he didn't want to dwell too much on them.

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to raise funds, a large number of Guannei Hou were sold, and there was no practical benefit in itself. In the end, after the family's publicity, whoever bought this title would even be despised, so even those merchants would no longer buy it.

Naturally, Li Yu would not be too happy to get the title of Marquis of Guannei, and it would be better to directly expand the scope of the autonomous region by a few county seats.

Fortunately, it was not without practical benefits, and in order not to treat Li Yu badly, Liu Hong specially agreed to transfer 300 pairs of rhubarb crossbows. This thing was originally owned by the forbidden army, and the key is technology, and excellent craftsmen can imitate it by observing the finished product.

Liu Hong's meaning was to allow Li Yu to imitate and equip the rhubarb crossbow with a weapon. This thing is the real strong crossbow of this era, which is improved from Qin Qiang's crossbow, but the strongest ten-stone rhubarb crossbow was not given to Li Yu, only a five-stone rhubarb crossbow, but it can also kill the enemy within a hundred steps, and break the armor within fifty steps, which is a sharp weapon to restrain cavalry.

I also got a lot of military rations and armor, of which there were 5,000 sets of leather armor and 3,000 sets of iron armor, not that kind of tattered things, each set was a high-quality product made with fine workmanship. There are also a large number of ring-headed knives and simple knives, spears and shields, which are more than ninety percent new and good weapons.

However, Liu Hong also asked Li Yu for some high-yield crops as seeds, which he planned to popularize around Luoyang and even in the Sili area. Others dare not say it, but Huangzhuang must be planted on a large scale.

This is exactly what Li Yu wanted to do, so he not only left behind a lot of high-yield crops, but also left two agricultural technicians to teach and teach the techniques of planting and even processing these high-yield crops. Originally, Li Yu didn't plan to collect patent fees, but he didn't want Liu Hong to say that if he didn't take the lead in paying them, how could businessmen in other places pay them?

Looking at Liu Hong, who was so serious, Li Yu also had to admire. If it weren't for the family's readiness to change the dynasty, he might be a king of Zhongxing, right? It's a pity that he was born in the wrong era, and he may still have a role to do in the decades he was born earlier......

Returning to the forbidden army, Li Yu directly explained the will to go north. The soldiers who had just cleaned up this corner and planned to pay attention to it for the night here cheered.

They were ready to be wronged for a few days, but they didn't expect to be able to go north so soon, but they didn't want to stay even for a second.

After receiving military rations and armaments, it took half a day to carry out preparations in the real sense. Personnel should be selected clearly, and those who are qualified will be appointed as officers, and those who are not qualified will be eliminated from the logistics units. After a night of rectification, more than 18,000 elites were finally selected, and more than 1,000 unqualified logistics personnel were dismissed, and only 25,000 people were left in the end.

Those who have been eliminated mainly want to settle down in Luoyang. Although many people are grateful to Li Yu, they themselves do not want to continue fighting. This is true even if there is a single strength that can be a military marquis.

The next day, after a brief rest of two hours, the army quickly marched to the front.

Considering that Luoyang is close to the Yellow River and the north is full of mountains and forests, in order to facilitate the journey, we will advance directly from the west of Luoyang, pass through Henan County and go north after passing through Hangu Pass, and finally make supplies in Dongyuan and go to Anyi County or Wenxi County.

The exact location of the trip will be determined based on intelligence. This is also the safest decision, and it is a conclusion drawn by the General Staff based on the terrain around Luoyang.

With a lot of less burden, the speed of the army going north has been greatly improved. Military discipline was constantly emphasized, and even the speed of the march was much higher than when it was first reorganized. That night, everyone still had a hearty dinner, not to mention that there was enough oil and water, and no one handed out two chocolate candies after the meal.

The soldiers were still very satisfied with this kind of life, after all, even in other armies, it was still very rare to have a dinner as rich as oil and water. Lack of oil and water, hungry, so can only keep eating, which will eventually further increase the consumption rate of military rations. In Li Yu's place, there is plenty of oil and water, but one and a half bowls per person can be eaten. Not to mention, there are also vegetables and meat to supplement.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, they arrived at Hangu Pass, and after exchanging official documents, they were quickly cleared to go north. At about eight o'clock that night, we arrived in Xin'an County, which was later known as Shengchi County.

The arrival of the army almost frightened the county order of Xin'an County at that time, but fortunately, there was no danger. After knowing that it was an army sent by the imperial court, the county order sent a lot of pigs and sheep to reward the army. Originally, he planned to send some drinks, but Li Yu refused. Li Yu also took the opportunity to send a lot of seeds for high-yield crops, leaving people to impart this knowledge.

The latter was a little embarrassed, but he still accepted it, and when he learned that His Majesty had also accepted it, and it was about to be popularized in Sili, he became a little excited. He knew very well that if he popularized it as soon as possible, it would be a good political achievement.

In the early morning of the next day, the army set off, wasting most of the day because of the need to cross the river, and finally reluctantly arrived in Dongyuan County at about nine o'clock in the evening to rest and receive supplies.

Like the county order of Xin'an County, the county order of Dongyuan County also took out a lot of pigs and sheep to reward the soldiers of the autonomous region. They were able to get a large amount of meat to supplement it for two days in a row, and the soldiers were naturally very satisfied.

On the one hand, Li Yu needed to know the dynamics of the Bai Bo Army, and on the other hand, he also needed to negotiate with the county order of Dongyuan County to promote high-yield crops. It is even necessary to deal with the allocation of materials, understand the consumption and supply situation, etc.

Of course, there is also the help of the General Staff Department, but you have to ask about it anyway.

Finally finished all this, and in a blink of an eye, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and under the exhaustion, Li Yu just wanted to sleep well.

But I didn't want to go back to the periphery of the camp, but I saw two figures competing in the dark.

One of them is armed with a Xuanhua axe, and the slashing sweep is full of violent aesthetics; The other person was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and he actually didn't let it go at all, and even began to press the former to fight, but it wasn't Guan Yu, who was it!

"Who's this guy? Quite capable! Li Yu found Li Wen, who was watching the battle, and asked.

"He is the official who assisted in delivering the last batch of military rations to our army. It seems to be called Xu Huang, not to mention anything else, just look at his martial arts, it's too condescending to be a small official! Li Wen briefly explained and introduced, and finally hinted that Li Yu might as well recruit him to his command.

In fact, there is no need for Li Wen to hint, only to hear that it is Hedong Xu Huang, where can Li Yu be calm? One of Cao Wei's five good generals is right in front of him, and with this force value, no matter how you look at it, there is no doubt about me! Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't take refuge in Yang Feng, or even Cao Cao, if he didn't start at this time, when would he wait? !

In a trance, the two people over there also divided the winner and loser. Guan Yu is born with divine power in the end, and he has a systematic training, so he is completely pressed against Xu Huang in terms of martial arts. The latter also knew this, and he didn't work hard, but after twenty moves, he gave up and threw himself in.

This year's Xu Huang is only eighteen years old, he has not yet reached the championship, and his body has not yet grown up completely, it is not easy to hold on to twenty moves in Guan Yu's hands, not to mention that they are not desperate.

"Good skills, Xu Zhuangshi is so skilled, but he doesn't know where to be?" Li Yu stepped forward and pretended not to know each other.

"Where can I be a general, I am a county official, and I have nothing to worry ......about," Xu Huang replied embarrassed when he heard this.

"With Xu Zhuangshi's skills, he can only be a small official? No, this is simply Qu Cai, if Xu Zhuangshi doesn't dislike it, a certain military marquis official position with you, I don't know if you can give in? If you make military achievements in the future, being promoted to captain is just around the corner! Li Yu solemnly invited.

In fact, earlier, Guan Yu had also invited, but Xu Huang was a little embarrassed, and immediately replied: "The second elder in the family needs to be taken care of, and he doesn't dare to travel far......

"This is not simple, I will come from the autonomous region. If you apply, you will naturally send someone to escort Xu Zhuangshi's family to settle in the autonomous region! The treatment of officers is not cheap, and the conditions of the autonomous region are no less than those in Luoyang, it is rare that there are no officials who can bully them, Xu Zhuangshi may wish to consider it! Li Yu proposed.

"So ......" Xu Huang hesitated, after all, the old father and mother were already a little old, and they were afraid that there would be a meaning of returning to their roots.

"We will stay in Dongyuan County for a day, and if Xu Zhuangshi has a decision, he can answer it early tomorrow morning." Li Yu also knew that he couldn't let him make a decision immediately, so he gave him a one-night lens.

"In this way, if there is a decision tomorrow, it will definitely serve the army!" Xu Huang breathed a sigh of relief and left with his fists clenched. (To be continued.) )
