——————————————————————

Gutter Pavilion!

How do you hear this name, how do you feel weird.

Sewer?

I don't know if the cowman came up with such a weird name. Maybe it's because the gutter is located in the yin of the river, so it's called the gutter?

Anyway, Cao Peng doesn't like it very much.

The place where Cao Peng was stationed was called Duting

Located in the southwest of the sour jujube, the gutter water and the Jishui meet here, forming a singular cross shape.

From this to the southeast, the water is Fengqiu County. And after crossing the Duting, you can go straight to Zhongmu, which is where the Guandu battlefield is located.

At this time, the headquarters of Xudu was in full swing in Guandu.

For this reason, Xun Yu even arranged Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu in Guandu, just to be able to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao......

Cao Peng probably understood that Cao *** ordered him to garrison the Mansion, which was actually to hand over his family's retreat to Cao Peng.

It's a trust, but it's also a pressure. At least in Cao Peng's opinion, the pressure of being stationed in the Mansions was even greater than when he was in Baima. If there is a problem in the Mansion, not only will the more than 10,000 elites stationed in the sour jujube be finished, but even Cao *** will also face danger. Therefore, this desecrated pavilion must be guarded! Not only must we keep it, but we must also keep it well, and we must keep it foolproof, and there can be no mistakes.

"Guorang, how many soldiers and horses are there in the Mansion?"

Tian Yu immediately replied: "Four departments, a total of eight hundred people. ”

"Only eight hundred?"

Cao Peng was a little surprised, and looked at Tian Yu in amazement, "Isn't it the four people?" ”

According to the military system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is basically calculated by multiples of two and five. As I said before, the most basic unit of the Han army is Wu, one army with five people, two soldiers and one ti; Five Wu is fifty people, forming a team. Then the two teams formed a tun, with a tun chief, also known as Dubo. If you become a commander, you are basically a formal grassroots officer, and you are one level higher than the team rate.

Above Dubo, that is, the length of the song.

The two tuns are a song, and the song is also known as the military marquis; Two songs into one, that is, one for four hundred people, with a military horse.

According to the difference between the border army and the Gyeonggi army, the personnel of each department are also different. For example, the border army has about 800 to 1,000 people in one section, while the Gyeonggi army has only 400 troops at full strength. Usually five departments, that is, one battalion, are commanded by inspectors or captains.

According to this calculation, that is, the first battalion of the border army is between four thousand and five thousand.

And the Gyeonggi army is well-armed and far from being comparable to the border army, so a battalion with a full strength is 2,000 people. As for this combat effectiveness, it's really hard to say which is better or worse. The border army fought in the bitter cold all year round, and the Gyeonggi army defended Gyeonggi, which was also well-trained......

It's just that now I can't tell which one is more powerful.

After listening to Tian Yu's words, Cao Peng blurted out: "But the soldiers and horses of the Northern Army? ”

Tian Yu shook his head, "It's the border army." ”

At this time, the border army was probably said to be brave in the county.

Cao Peng frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

Tian Yu smiled bitterly: "This Xiangyong is Junyi's soldiers and horses, which originally belonged to General Miaocai. Later, General Miaocai was transferred away and returned to the Marquis of Guangchang Pavilion...... Some time ago, the lord had just recaptured Puyang and had not yet arrived at the sour dates. The Marquis of Guangchang Pavilion temporarily led Chen Liubing and clashed with Yuan's army several times. Outcome...... You know, that Wen Chou is not trivial, and after several confrontations, the loss of Guangchang Pavilion Marquis is not small. The original captain of this battalion was named Chen Pheasant, and he was killed by Wen Chou. The headquarters was defeated on the spot, and when they were later retracted, there were only so many people left. ”

It turned out to be a rout.

No wonder Tian Yu was a little hesitant when he mentioned this army of soldiers and horses.

In fact, in addition to the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army, the Tiger Ben Wuwei Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the rest of the soldiers and horses in Cao ***'s hands were basically composed of Xiangyong County soldiers. It is difficult to say how powerful these people are, but once they encounter a rout, a large number of deserters will immediately appear.

Generally speaking, when a team loses half of a team, there will be a large-scale rout.

If the main general is killed, then the phenomenon of desertion is inevitable. After these people fled from the battlefield, many did not return. Either surrender or become a rogue, it's hard to say exactly where you are. This is also one reason why it was difficult to conduct a census in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The more and more rogue bandits are killed, in fact, many rogue bandits are converted from the official army......

Eight hundred soldiers!

In other words, Junyi's military forces only have 20% of the troops left.

Cao Peng turned his head and looked at the soldiers and horses who followed him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This time, he went to the Mansion, and brought a total of 600 people.

One cavalry army of 200 men, one infantry army of four hundred. Half of them were his old subordinates, and the rest were filled by Cao *** who sent three hundred elite soldiers from his hands. Even if you add the 800 defeated troops of Na Shuting, it is not enough to make up a full battalion.

"There are only 800 people, why are they divided into four parts?"

Tian Yu smiled bitterly: "The four armies are all here, and each has its own people.

The largest one has more than 300 people, and the smallest one has less than 100 people...... The problem is that no one wants to bow their heads, so they have to temporarily follow the original placement. Sikong has always wanted to rein in these routs, but Yuan Jun pressed too tightly and couldn't pull out. ”

Cao Peng probably understood the reason.

They are all military horses, even if there is no part, they don't want to be annexed by others.

To be annexed represents a reduction in one's own status...... As a result, none of the four military commanders refused to bow their heads, so they were stuck here.

It is estimated that there are quite a few routs similar to this situation.

However, because Cao *** couldn't pull out, he was temporarily placed aside.

Cao *** sent himself in the hope that Cao Peng would be able to gather this rout. He is not required to be able to charge into battle, as long as he ensures that the retreat is continuous before retreating. There is a pontoon bridge in the pavilion, which is more than 60 meters long, and it is a necessary way for Cao's army to retreat.

Since the Han Dynasty, bridges have developed rapidly.

The most popular bridge building in the Eastern Han Dynasty is mainly based on stone pillar pier bridges, and its representative bridge is the Baqiao Bridge in Chang'an.

However, during the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, that is, in 34 AD, the first pontoon bridge appeared on the river between Yidu and Yichang in later generations. The Duting pontoon bridge is basically built in the form of a Yidu pontoon bridge, which can accommodate two carriages passing at the same time.

Cao Peng reined in his horse and pointed to a sparse forest in front of him, "Guorang, let's take a break." ”

The sour jujube is not far from the Duting Pavilion, and it is easy to arrive at the two-hour journey.

Cao Peng stopped suddenly, obviously after hearing about the situation in the Mansion, he had some ideas, hoping to stop and discuss.

Tian Yu could roughly understand Cao Peng's thoughts, so he nodded in response.

The soldiers and horses rested on the side of the road, and after Cao Peng and the others entered the sparse forest, they found an open space to sit down.

"Guorang, what else is the situation, you can tell me together."

Tian Yu, as a Si Air Force strategist, is very familiar with the situation here. Almost all military intelligence reports will be handled by him, and Cao Peng asked him, but he really asked the right person.

After thinking about it, Tian Yu Zhengse said: "Among the four army Simas, the most powerful is Shu Qiang. ”

"Shu Qiang?"

"This person is a member of the Chen Liushu clan, and his uncle is Shu Shao, the head of Fuling under Yuan Shu.

Most of the subordinates are the children of the Shu family, so they are extremely arrogant. When General Miaocai was there, he also praised this person for his good martial arts, so he ...... Although he had less than 200 men, he was the most united. Often Shu Qiang's words, no one in the camp dared to argue with him. If there is resistance, they will rise up and attack it. General Le just saw that this person was too arrogant, so he refused to accept it, afraid that this person would break military discipline in the army. ”

Or a family?

Cao Peng scratched his head, his face a little ugly.

I'm afraid that this kind of clan children who form a group will easily cause trouble.

"What else?"

"Chen Liuwu class, the character Yuanxiong, has the most soldiers and horses in his hands, with nearly 300 people.

This person is known for being heroic, he is not very old, but his skills are extremely tough. He is also a disciple of Chen Liudawang's clan, and after Chen Pheasant was killed, only his soldiers and horses suffered the smallest losses, and they were the most intact. However, Wu Ban doesn't like to be silent very much, and is relatively silent most of the time. Although Shu Qiang was arrogant, he didn't dare to provoke Wu Ban...... Therefore, if Wu Ban can be made to bow his head, the lieutenant can control the desecration pavilion. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Yu suddenly said in a low voice: "I heard that Sikong and Chen Liuwu seem to be related. ”

Chen Liuwu?

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted to the meaning of Tian Yu's words.

Cao ***'s grandmother, the old lady Wu, seems to be the clansman of the Chen Liuwu clan......

After a year, Cao Peng almost forgot Mrs. Wu. She rarely came forward in Xudu, and never interfered in Cao ***'s government affairs.

It seems that he just said a few good words for Cao Ji when he returned to the sect.

In addition, Wu Laofu *** spends part of his time in Sikong Mansion, except for a few henchmen, he rarely has contact with outsiders.

Tian Yu said: "The other two, it's not a big deal.

If the captain can solve Wu Ban and Shu Qiang, then the Duting Pavilion can be stabilized...... The situation of the Ranting Pavilion is roughly like this, and it depends on the decision of the captain. ”

Cao Peng wandered in the forest and did not give an immediate answer.

Suddenly, he asked, "Bo Dao, how are the people sent by the lord how powerful are they?" ”

"It's okay, if you fight with the black eyes, you can resist it for a while."

"What is the name of the marquis?"

"Han De?"

"Uh...... Give him to me, how? ”

Hao Zhao said with a smile: "This is the son's trilogy, if the son needs it, there will be no problem in the end." ”

"Then I'll tell you, the number of your troops and horses will not increase. Black is the one I rely on the most, and I don't want to be overwhelmed. ”

Hao Zhao said: "The last general understands. ”

"The captain has a countermeasure?"

Cao Peng smiled, "I can't say what to do, but I do have some ideas, and I have to act when I get to the Randolph Pavilion." ”

"It's good!"

Tian Yu didn't ask Cao Peng what he thought.

He is very clear about his responsibilities as a soldier in the army, and to put it bluntly, he is to introduce the situation to Cao Peng.

The purpose of Cao *** sending him here was not to ask him to give Cao Peng much help, but actually to let him observe Cao Peng's specific responses.

Tian Yu knew that Cao *** valued Cao Peng very much.

Although Cao Peng has a lot of fame, he has made many meritorious achievements.

But when it comes to great use, if there is no careful observation and school examination, Cao *** will not be easily appointed. After all, Cao Peng's age is there, and Cao *** is always a little worried. With this desecration of the army, it was also a test for Cao Peng. Test his ability to govern the army and test his ability to change...... Whether it is a white horse or a ten-mile camp, they can't see Cao Peng's true talent.

If it is really out of control, Tian Yu will naturally help.

But as long as things don't develop into an uncontrollable situation, Tian Yu will not make any moves.

To put it bluntly, Cao *** gave Tian Yu another task to assess Cao Peng.

It seems that Cao Peng also knew this, and did not ask Tian Yu too much. He ordered Hao Zhao to call that Han De over, and Tian Yu got up and left.

"Your name is Han De?"

"Exactly."

Cao Peng felt that this name seemed a little familiar.

"Where?"

"The last general is the Wuwei clan of Liangzhou."

"Liangzhou Wuwei? Isn't that the same townsman as Du Tinghou? ”

"Du Tinghou? What did the captain say about Jia Wen and Mr. Jia? I know he'...... I am from Wuwei, he is from Guzang, and he is also a fellow villager. ”

"So, didn't you come to the Central Plains with the capital pavilion?"

Han De shook his head, and the slightly immature hand in hand showed a look of embarrassment.

He said softly: "My father was originally a general under Dong Taishi, and he came to Luoyang with Dong Taishi. Later, Dong Taishi moved the capital to Chang'an, and his father was ordered to break off and died outside the city of Luoyang. When I was young, I went to Luoyang with my father, and then stayed in Luoyang. When Sikong greeted the Son of Heaven, the last general joined the army in Luoyang, and then traveled to Xudu...... Later, General Xiahou was important, and in September last year, he became a military marquis. ”

It turned out that he grew up in Luoyang, so it's no wonder that the Liangzhou accent is not strong.

Cao Pengqi said: "Which Xiahou general?" ”

"It's General Changshui Sima Xiahou Shang."

"You're from the Changshui Camp?"

Han De scratched his head and nodded yes.

"And you recognize me?"

"The last general recognizes the captain...... When the captain was in Changshui Camp to quell the chaos, the last general was behind Xiahou Sima, so he saw the captain. ”

I see!

There were indeed a few people behind Xiahou Shang that day, but Cao Peng didn't pay attention.

He thought for a moment, "Han De, I have something to explain to you, I don't know if you have the guts?" ”

"Sent by the captain alone."

"Very well, you come here."

Cao Peng waved his hand, motioned for Han De to come to him, and whispered a few words in his ear. After hearing this, Han De didn't look surprised, but nodded again and again.

"Alright, ready to go."

After Cao Peng finished his order, he waved his hand and motioned for Han De to retreat.

He turned his face with both hands, turned his head to Kan Ze and said, "Derun, how is this Tian Yu?" ”

Kan Ze smiled and replied: "This person is not simple, Ze does not dare to judge." However, since Cao Gong sent him to Gongzi, he thought that he was not just to assist Gongzi. He didn't stand up, and he did the military strategy, and it can be seen that Cao Gong also attaches great importance to this Tian Guorang. ”

Oh, yes!

But the problem is that Cao Peng's impression of Tian Yu is almost none.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, did he appear on the stage? Cao Peng can't remember!

However, listening to his accent, it seems that it is not the Central Plains accent...... There are too many omissions or fabrications in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it is impossible for Cao Peng to remember them all.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go."

Just as Cao Peng was about to walk out of the sparse forest, Xia Houlan, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke.

"Childe, I remember who this Tian Yu is!"

Cao Peng stopped and looked at Xiahou Lan in amazement.
