Everyone in the hall then discussed.

He Chen also bowed his head and groaned. If it goes well, it's a bad idea. It's just that the Xiangyang Shijia family is full of talents, and there is never a shortage of wise men, not to mention the far ones, in this period, there are Xiangyang famous people Pang Degong, Kuai family brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, Xiang Jia Xiang Lang, Xiang Shengchuan, the historical reputation is inferior to Pang Tong, but higher than Ma Liang's Xi family Xi Zhen and loyal and righteous Xi Zhen, there are also Zhuge Liang's father-in-law Huang Chengyan and so on, as for other people such as Pang Tong, Ma Liang, Yang Yi, are still wearing open crotch pants or not born at all. It's just such a simple way to drive the wolf and devour the tiger, and use the knife to kill people, with their ability, it is estimated that they can see through it at a glance. Guo Jia is known as a ghost, so he shouldn't come up with such a simple trick. He Chen looked at Guo Jia in confusion, wondering if he had a follower.

Sure enough, Guo Jia's next words dispelled He Chen's doubts, he smiled lightly, glanced at the people in the meeting with clear eyes, and then smiled mysteriously: "This matter is like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth, taking millet from the fire, so the law cannot be passed on to the six ears, and the heavenly machine cannot be leaked, just wait for everything to disperse, and Jia Xi will come to justice for the Lord." ”

"Okay." Although He Chen was itchy in his heart, he readily agreed.

Since Guo Jia was so confident and had a backup to prepare, He Chen didn't think about it, but continued to ask: "Gongming, how is the training progress of the 'Divine Spear Praetorian Guard' now, and can it catch up with this battle for Xiangyang?" ”

Xu Huang came out of the ranks, his face was extremely proud, and his voice was full of confidence: "Huizhou Mu, although the training of the "Sharpshooter Praetorian Guard" is short, but when it was recruited, the soldiers recruited were all one in a hundred, both in physical fitness and spiritual will, far beyond ordinary soldiers, and the training was even more than a thousand miles, and the progress was rapid, although there was a slight gap in experience and skills with the "Burning Legion" led by General Huang, but it is certain that once the front-line war needs, the "Sharpshooter Guard" will definitely be able to go up as soon as possible. Become a Hero of Victory. ”

When Xu Huang said this, he was envious of the generals in the hall. Even if Zhang Liao and Wen Pinggui are the leaders of the first army, they are also drooling at Xu Huang's 1,000 pikemen, strong physical fitness, high morale, strong individual combat ability, skilled small team combined attack level, impeccable overall formation attack and defense, plus special spears in their hands, wearing the latest armor, this is the fucking elite of the elite, born as the commander of the three armies The army that is most desired.

Although this Xu Huang is tall and burly, he can't beat Huang Zhong and Dian Wei in force, and he is not as handsome and elegant as Zhang Liao, and his command ability can't be seen to be stronger than Wen Ping in a short period of time, is it just because his appearance is a little similar to Zhou Mu? They are all powerful, full of meat, and they look like a rough goods, but they are actually insidious and cunning in their hearts, and they are full of tricks. That's why I was fortunate to have the state pastor treat him differently and lead this "Sharpshooter Guard" that will definitely be famous all over the world?

The generals will say no, envy, jealousy, and hatred.

He Chen nodded with satisfaction, and said to Li Yan: "Are all the strategic materials in place?" ”

Li Yan is a veteran of He Chen's family, and as He Chen rises step by step, he naturally rises to the top, and now He Chen has been listed as Nanyang Taishou, and the county is a matter of Tongjun County. Hearing He Chen's question, he respectfully stepped out and said: "Huizhou Mu, all the workshops of the Huang family and the Wen family have been fully opened, working overtime overnight, and the production of 50,000 marching bags is nearing completion, and it is estimated that it will not take ten years to equip the whole army." The lower officials also conducted spot checks on the samples, and their workmanship, materials, and quality were all good. The tents of the marching camp, clothes and quilts have been stockpiled. As for the grain depot, due to the influx of a large number of displaced people some time ago, the strategic grain storage was urgently opened, and the consumption was huge. Nowadays, grain storage cannot be lightly moved, and the state pastor must also prevent all kinds of natural disasters and floods. Therefore, the military rations can only wait for the autumn to enter the warehouse, and then deploy them in a unified manner. ”

He Chen nodded, indicating that he understood, and asked Lou Gui again: "Are all guns, halberds, swords, arrows, armor, and siege aids in place?" ”

"Back to the lord, 3,000 chain mail, 5,000 leather armor, 100,000 arrows, and various weapons have been received." Lou Gui said.

He Chen nodded with satisfaction and asked many more questions, and then disbanded, allowing everyone to speed up preparations for going south. Only Guo Jia was left behind, and the two talked secretly for a long time, and then dispersed.

Now everything is ready, just wait for the grain and grass to ripen, and send troops south to Xiangyang.

In October 190 A.D., the first year of the first peace, all the counties of Nanyang enjoyed a bumper year, the newly launched rice yield was extremely high, and the farmers' harvest increased by several percent compared with previous years. Subsequently, the Nanyang county government issued a decree allowing counties to buy grain and grass at regular prices and hoard warehouses. For a time, the barns of corn grains in various places were full and piled up like mountains. The tenant farmers also smiled, and so on.

In mid-October, He Chen ordered Humen Zhonglang to take He Man's "Dark Night Army" as the advance force, and Liao Hua as the vanguard and set off for Xiangyang. Later, he led the Chinese army, starting with a total of 10,000 horses, more than 10 generals such as Wenpin and Ji Ling, among which the "Sharpshooter Guard" embarked on the journey for the first time. Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao and his "Burning Legion" were stationed in Wancheng to prevent some changes in Yuan's technique.

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

Deng Zhi led five hundred grain carts full of Musu grains and drove towards Xiangyang in a majestic way.

Seven days later, He Chen led the army to Dengcheng to camp, only ten miles to Fancheng, across the Han River and Xiangyang.

At this time, Xiangyang had already exploded into a nest and was in a mess.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the development of the landlord's pastoral economy, a number of wealthy surnames were formed. Not only did they own a large amount of land and numerous dependent tenant farmers, but they also owned their own tribes; They colluded with local warlords to strengthen their military power and accelerate the development of separatist forces. Some of them are representatives of the intellectual class of society, with prominent social status and prestige. This situation was extremely obvious in Xiangyang at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It can be said politely that a small Xiangyang city is almost the epitome of the warlords of the Han Dynasty.

According to the "Jingzhou Chronicle" in the "Taiping Yulan" records: Xiangyang Xian Mountain south to Yicheng short a hundred miles of land, to the end of the Han Ling Emperor, there are four county guards, seven captains, two Qing, two servants, a yellow gate squire, three Shangshu, six thorn history, Zhu Xuan Gao Gai will be under the mountain, and then because of the name of the crown cover mountain, called the crown Geli. It can be said that it was the concentration of bureaucratic landlords and social upper-class groups in the late Han Dynasty, and there are countless famous surnames here.

In the south of Xiangyang County, one mile southeast of Da Xian Mountain, there is Cai Zhou in the river, which is the residence of Cai Mao, the captain of Changshui of the Han Dynasty.

Speaking of Cai Mao, he can be regarded as a leader with the surname Xiangyang. His father Cai Wei was an official in the service, his aunt was the wife of the former Taiwei Zhang Wen, and the eldest sister was married to Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Cannan. A remarkable one. Although Cai Mao is arrogant and complacent, he also has some real skills in his hands, and he has thousands of private soldiers under his clan, and it is convenient for Cai Zhou to practice when he has nothing to do.

At this time, Cai Mao's mansion was full of friends, and many Xiangyang celebrities and celebrities were seated.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Cai Mao, as the host, took the lead in opening her mouth and cut to the point: "I invite you to come today, there is a major matter to discuss, all of you are well-informed, and it is estimated that you can also guess Cai's intentions, and you can speak freely if you have any ideas." ”

After Cai Mao's words fell, one person said in a loud voice: "Why do you need to work so hard in this matter, whether He Chen is angry and kills the middle attendant, or crusades against Dong Zhuo, he shows his determination to support the Han family; Since his debut, this person has won all battles and has been known as the world's tiger general, and if he can enter Xiangyang, it will be a good talk. ”

Everyone sees it as a preach to the family and to the saints. Xiang Shengchuan may not be familiar to everyone, but if you want to say that the famous general of Sichuan and Shu is favored, everyone should know it. And Xiang Shengchuan is the father of Xiang Pet.

"No, you can't. Although He Chen is a state pastor, this person was born in cloth, and he was attached to the He family and ascended to the throne, and he has always been disrespectful to the Shi family. After returning from the previous pursuit of Dong Zhuo, he immediately crossed the river and demolished the bridge and promulgated the tenant system. It is obviously to weaken the power of the scholars. Easy to control. If this person enters Xiangyang, I am afraid that it will be almost the end of your waiting days. It was Xi Zhen who spoke, and everyone nodded frequently when they listened, feeling that it made a lot of sense.

"They are all small-headed and short-sighted. Although He Chen promulgated the tenant system, he still attracted the help of the Shi family, Huang Zhong and Wen Ping were both after the Nanyang Wang clan, and now they are in charge of the strength of the Nanyang elite army. If we support the army to resist, there is Sun Hu and Chen Sheng's wolf in the front, and there is the tiger of Wanbing in the back, in this case, do you still think you can hold Xiangyang? I think it's just the opposite, if you are honestly attached, you can save the foundation, and maybe you can be cited as arm strength. Otherwise, even with the solidity of Xiangyang, it will be difficult to stop He Chen's tiger and wolf army, if you don't believe it, you can open it and check how Wanbing is under the leadership of He Chen, tossing and turning for hundreds of miles, stealing Luoyang; How did Dong Zhuo attack Huiluo in the vast net opened by Dong Zhuo, and finally brewed the withdrawal of troops from the Tiger Prison, and Luoyang was defeated. This person is not only brave in the three armies, but also full of scheming, unable to prevent it. I can tell you for sure that once He Chen is rejected to enter Xiangyang, Chen Sheng and Sun Hu will inevitably be the vanguard of his cleanup of the Xiangyang Shi clan. Another person attended, cutting nails and iron, and said in a tough tone.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly looked at it, it was after the famous ministers of the Western Han Dynasty, Kuaiyue.

Cai Mao was in a dilemma, and when she saw Kuai Liang's words, her heart couldn't help but light up, and she hurriedly asked: "Xenodu once served as Dong Cao Peng under the command of the great general He Jin, I don't know if I can understand He Chen?" ”

Kuai Yue is a deep and wise person, burly, and majestic, he groaned slightly: "When He Chen entered Beijing, a certain has been established as the Ruyang Order, and I don't know much about it, but there are two things that can be certain. First, this person seems to be brute, but in fact he is very wise; Second, this person is a hero in the prosperous era and a hero in troubled times. ”

"Brother Xenodu, you couldn't help He Jin before, do you want to help He Chen this time? Wancheng He family, what makes you so highly respected, from a certain point of view, He Chen is simply a jackal, tiger and leopard, ambitious. In just a few years, the east and the west, the south and the north war, the army and the army, if he is allowed to lead Xiangyang, I am afraid that when the time comes, everyone here will either be a foreign land, or die on the battlefield. Moreover, this person is a cloth cloth, born in the army, such a humble identity, it is even more ashamed to be in company, if this person is allowed to lead Xiangyang, is he really not afraid of losing your Shi clan identity? Make the world laugh? ”
