Starting from Weishi County and arriving at Changshe County, Yingchuan County, it is only 47 kilometers, and it is only more than 100 miles in this era. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Rao is like this, the army also advanced for two days before arriving, the large-scale march is actually a very remarkable march of fifty miles a day, many thieves drag their families and mouths that are extremely slow, thirty miles a day is not bad.

The root cause of all this is the problem of baggage, which uses rickshaw carts, which are backward and slow to move, and are also prone to breakdowns. Lacking animal power, it can only be pulled by the combined force of the baggage soldiers, and the movement speed can be imagined. Even in the absence of carts, the food also needs to be carried directly by the baggage soldiers, which further affects the movement speed.

The main force must not be too far away from the baggage troops, otherwise it is easy to avoid the enemy's sneak attack. However, if the baggage troops were guarded, the speed of the transfer of the headquarters army would be greatly delayed, and fifty miles a day was almost the limit.

Two days later, the army arrived in Changshe County, which had not yet become the battlefield of the Battle of Changshe, and had not been broken by the Yellow Turban thieves for the time being, so Zhu Jun allowed the army to rest here for a day, and by the way, sent scouts to understand the situation of the surrounding Yellow Turbans.

Facts have proved that the Yellow Turban thieves who went to Weishi County earlier passed over on the Yingchuan side, and many of them also passed through Changshe County before they gathered together, forming a scale of tens of thousands. Fortunately, in the early days, they had not yet formed a scale, and they could not take advantage of Changshe and Yangzhai and other places, so they continued to go east.

TOEFL, several important county seats in Yingchuan County, are still in the hands of the Han army for the time being, but the surrounding towns and townships have basically all fallen, and there are not even a few living people in a radius of hundreds of miles. There were also some survivors who had survived earlier by hiding in the mountains and forests, but now they know that the Yellow Turban Thieves have not yet been pacified, and they do not dare to rush down the mountain.

Fortunately, they can at least distinguish between the official army and the thief army, and they are still willing to give some intelligence help to the official army. And the scouts also took out some of the supplies that accompanied the army and distributed them as intelligence expenses. No one is beneficial, and you can't expect others to give intelligence help for a long time, and even the scouts of the Eastern Han Dynasty understand this concept.

"To be sure, the group of yellow turbans in Weishi County earlier is already the largest group around, with 200,000 people, but fortunately, it has been completely pacified by us. The rest of the rest will not be a climate even if it is a disaster.

The only concern is that a small number of displaced people who have fled north from Runan County have said that there is a powerful group of Yellow Turban thieves in Runan who are heading north, and they are afraid that the number of them will already exceed one million, and it is very likely that they will meet us within a month. The scout reported the news he had detected, and the generals who were originally smiling because of the previous victory couldn't help but be solemn at this moment.

An army of millions of people, even if most of them are refugees, will always have an actual combat strength of two or three hundred thousand. There are only more than 30,000 of them, and even if Sun Jian comes back, it will only be more than 40,000, are they really sure to deal with these million enemy troops?

In addition to this Yellow Turban Army, according to the refugees who fled back from Nanyang, there is also a Yellow Turban Thief wreaking havoc on Nanyang's side, and even has broken through Nanyang County to govern Wancheng, killed Nanyang Taishou Chu Gong, occupied Wancheng, and began to expand outward with Wancheng as a stronghold.

Unlike other Yellow Turban Thieves, this Yellow Turban Thief has broken away from the category of rogue bandits and has begun to take the route of forming forces. However, its purpose is easy to guess, on the one hand, it is only to be used as a nail, so that Luoyang does not dare to send too many troops out to suppress the bandits, otherwise they can go north to attack the Sizhou area; The second is also to block the Han army reinforcements from Jingzhou and even Yizhou, after all, Nanyang is an important gateway to Jingzhou.

It can be seen that the generals of this army should be different from those ordinary thieves, and they are obviously the core existence of the Taiping Sect.

Zhu Jun took out this matter for everyone to analyze, although Zhu Cheng also nodded repeatedly with others, in fact, he already knew the situation of this yellow turban thief in his heart. The leader is the 'divine envoy' Zhang Mancheng, who belongs to one of the commanders of the Taiping Sect, and is considered an old Taiping believer and one of the main generals of the Yellow Turban Thieves.

But there is no need to care about him at all, in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, that is, around the middle of July of the Gregorian calendar, he will be killed by the newly appointed Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie, but later his remnants elected Zhao Hong to the throne and beat Nanyang back. Speaking of which, now that it is the beginning of the fourth lunar month and the beginning of summer, is the battle of Changshe about to begin?

"Although a large number of yellow turban thieves have been assessed, there are still some stragglers of yellow turban thieves in several counties of Yingchuan County. You and the generals are divided into six routes, respectively to conquer the six counties of Xu, Yingyin, Yangzhai, Xiangcheng, Jiahe and Linying! Before the decisive battle with the Yellow Turban Thief Headquarters, Ben doesn't want to be bothered by those flies! Zhu Jun issued a military order.

In fact, it's a bit helpless, but it's not for strategic or tactical needs to extinguish these Yellow Turban Thieves.

The main reason is that the existence of these stragglers endangers the interests of the family on the Yingchuan side. Unfortunately, many of the families here in Yingchuan are very important families in China, such as Yingchuan Xun, Yingchuan Guo and Yingchuan Chen......

At the same time, the Yingchuan Academy, which was formed by several families in Yingchuan, is also known as the cradle of scholars. It means that as long as you study here, you will basically be able to get out of the school.

Among the courtiers, many of them once studied in Yingchuan Academy, and the world-famous Confucians such as Sima Hui and Zheng Xuan all served as the sacrificial wine of Yingchuan Academy, which is equivalent to the position of the dean, and now it is Xun Yu's uncle Xun Jian who is serving as a sacrificial wine.

The main purpose of this expedition against those stragglers was to ensure the stability of the hometowns of these families. For example, Xuxian Chen, such as Yingyin Xun, Yangzhai Guo and Xin, etc. Don't look at the civil and military affairs, the military attaches offended the civil officials and there is no good fruit to eat since ancient times, those guys are really the existence of people who can kill people with their mouths.

The reason why Zhu Jun cultivated Zhu Cheng is largely because Zhu Cheng's talent is good, and the key is that he is still a child of the Zhu family in Jiangdong. Let's not talk about whether he can catch up with the Jiangdong Zhu family, and if Zhu Cheng has a successful career, then naturally because of the help of the arms, the descendants of the two families can help each other, and they will be able to form a family of military generals, and then join the family club.

In these years, there were few people from the poor family, there was no way to serve the country, and the court and local defenders were almost monopolized by the family, until the emergence of the imperial examination, it was only a change, and it was not until modern times that this situation ended in a special period.

In this battle, Zhu Jun went to Yingyin, Zhu Cheng went to Yangzhai, and the other four captains went to other places. Compared with the other four roads, Zhu Jun and Zhu Cheng went to Yingyin and Yangzhai, the former is where the Yingchuan Xun clan is founded, and the latter is where Yingchuan Academy is located.

The time given by Zhu Jun is only five days, and he must complete the requisition and come back to gather within five days. At the same time, he also sent a letter to Sun Jian, asking him to come to the meeting quickly. Judging from the time, those thieves in Chenliu County should have been requisitioned, and it is said that Sun Jian and Huangfu Songbu should also come to converge.

As for Zhu Cheng, after preparing the people, he marched towards Yang Zhai in a mighty way. In his heart, he also already had a plan to poach a few talents from Yang Zhai for his use. It's great if you can dig up historical figures, but at least you can dig up a few talented people.

Now there are only two people under his command who can be used, Yang Lang and Ouyang Xing, although they are one scholar and one martial arts, they are not enough at all. Especially Ouyang Xing has to serve as the chief secretary and political commissar, it is okay for a short time, but it will inevitably be a mistake after a long time.

In such a hurry, in almost a day, the 5,000-strong army arrived at Yang Zhai's location.
