Chapter 967: Dogfight (2)

Gao Yang slowly stood up, pursed the corners of his mouth and looked around at the generals present, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he said in a deep voice, "What do we want now, why do you give this kind of great opportunity to Lu Bu and them?" Now you go to the city to recruit troops, don't be stingy with money and food. Now that the situation in the city is chaotic and all kinds of materials, especially food, are extremely scarce, it is a good time for us to expand in a big way. The people live on food. As long as they are qualified, all of them are recruited, issued with armor, and formed into an army. If you recruit enough 50 people, you will form a team, if you recruit enough 100 people, you will make a song, if you recruit enough 1,000 people, you will make a song! As many people as you can recruit, I will give you whatever official position I will give! ”

Gao Yang's words immediately detonated the enthusiasm of these generals in the military tent.

The military position in this era was not as depreciated as it was during the warlord melee in the later period, and anyone dared to call himself a general.

On the spot, some generals jumped up and screamed. Looking at that posture, these generals may be pulling all the humanoid creatures that can walk on two legs in the entire Luoyang City into the army.

"Don't do anything indiscriminate." Gao Yang poured some cold water on these screaming generals at the right time, "Whoever dares to pull people to fill the number casually, then deduct it according to the number of unqualified people who are picked." The more you charge, the more you deduct. More than one song will directly demote you to the head of the fire. ”

The excited generals responded one after another, and one by one they were eager to rush to the street to pull the strong man at this moment. People live for a lifetime, isn't it just to try for fame and fortune? For people of this era, being able to leave a name in history books is the greatest pursuit.

If you want to leave your name in the history books, how can ordinary people be? You have to be a general. Now who can not be excited about this kind of thing that can be promoted by pulling a group of people into the army?

"Wenhe." Gao Yang looked at Jia Xu, who looked respectful, nodded slightly, and said, "Pay attention to protecting the granary and the treasury." Be sure to garrison it heavily. Whoever dares to use any crooked brains, absolutely don't be soft, kill me! ”

"Command." Jia Xu saluted respectfully.

Although Gao Yang no longer lacks these materials at the moment. However, he didn't want these things to fall into the hands of Lu Bu and others.

These people are all murderous fast knife hands, and they are the stumbling blocks for Gao Yang to end the troubled times. Let them get a lot of money and food, that is, give them the opportunity to expand their forces. This can greatly increase unnecessary casualties.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion of Guanghe in seven years dealt a great blow to the foundations of the Han Empire. Violent social unrest and large-scale indiscriminate killings, combined with the ensuing famine and epidemic, greatly reduced the population of the Han Empire.

However, at this moment, the Han Empire has not yet experienced tens or hundreds of years of war, although it lost millions of people during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. However, the huge demographic dividend and advantages are still strongly crushing all the surrounding ethnic groups.

At the end of the Three Kingdoms. Combined, the official population statistics of all three countries are less than 10 million. Although there are still a large number of people who are hidden by the wealthy families, this is too much different from the 56 million statistics before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Gao Yang was unwilling to let the Chinese nation in this time and space suffer this kind of hellish tragic scene again, and the ensuing thing that happened that the Chinese nation was reduced to a minority after being massively slaughtered by aliens into the heart of the Central Plains for the first time in history. Gao Yang is determined to use the power in his hands to bring the troubled times to an early end.

"Although I'm sorry for the prestige of those peerless generals. However, for the sake of this country and nation, I can only tear down the stage on which you show yourself. Gao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the excited generals in the military tent with a cold expression, and thought to himself.

Gao Yang's actions quickly attracted the attention of most of the people in Luoyang City. No way. Tens of thousands of troops pulled people into the streets, and even went directly to smash doors to pull people. It's hard to keep people knowing.

On an ordinary day, the people in Luoyang City would either hide and walk over the wall everywhere, or pick up the guys and fight with the bastards who pulled the strong ding. There are absolutely very few people who are really willing to enlist in the army.

Yet at this moment. When Luoyang City was in dire straits. When the city was besieged, the imperial court lost its administrative capacity. After this period of brutal exploitation and rule of the Xiliang Army, especially after the horrific burning, killing and looting in the previous two days. When the vast majority of families are freezing and hungry in this cold season. A sergeant with a grain bag in one hand and a copper coin in the other came to the door. As long as the men of the family go to enlist. Then the family will have food to eat, money to buy salt, and money to buy coal for heating. Faced with this situation. How many Chinese men who are willing to die for their families can resist this temptation?

When Lu Bu and Wang Yun received the news, Gao Yang's recruit had more than 10,000 soldiers. These are not cannon fodder for a large number of people, they are all strong men. No military general was willing to be punished by Gao Yang.

"Lord Situ, that Gao Zihou is so ruthless, how should we deal with it?" In Wang Yun's mansion, Lu Bu, who had an ugly face, clenched the wine glass in his hand vigorously, and his handsome face was full of anger. This kind of scene of watching the opponent rapidly increase his strength made Lu Bu unacceptable at all.

"This matter can only be confronted face to face with that Gao Zihou." Wang Yun also said helplessly.

Gao Yang used those city fox society rats to completely stink their reputation. and also put the pot that killed Dong Zhuo on the heads of the two of them. Although it is said that this makes them have a very high position in the eyes of Liu Xiehe and those family gate valves. However, it completely annoyed the Xiliang Army.

News came from outside the city, and the Xiliang Legion was clamoring all day long to kill the two of them to avenge Dong Zhuo. even set a rule, whoever can break into Luoyang City and kill the two of them can succeed Dong Zhuo as the new commander of the Xiliang Army. And in this matter of killing Dong Zhuo, Gao Yang, who made a lot of efforts, didn't even mention it.

In this case, Wang Yun and Lu Bu had no other choice at all.

They can't reconcile with those Xiliang troops outside the city, and the other party can't wait to eat their flesh, whether public or private. As for the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung coalition troops in Tiger Prison Pass, Wang Yun did not send someone to contact them. It's a pity that starting from Yuan Shao, none of the powerful princes in their hands are willing to lend a hand. They all plan to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait until the matter has a result.

"Bong-first." After Wang Yun pondered slightly for a moment, a touch of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I'll go and see that Gao Zihou in person." You prepare soldiers and horses, once good words and persuasion fail, then it can only be a sword and soldiers. ”

Wang Yun was also forced to have no choice. How can you recruit soldiers if you have no money or food? Can you still mix without soldiers and horses in troubled times?

And they really had to go out on the street to pull the strong men. Let's not talk about morale, flee on the battlefield, stab a knife in the back and put a cold arrow or something. Even the problem of feeding the army alone cannot be solved. What's more, there are no weapons and armor, because the arsenal is in Gao Yang's hands. You can't take a stick and wear sackcloth clothes and go to battle, right? They are not the Yellow Turbans.

"That's it." Lu Bu raised his head in annoyance and drank the wine in the toast, and waved his hand helplessly.

He is now warm, and he has achieved a high position that he never thought of when he was young. However, when he really had all this, he suddenly realized that there was no real meaning at this moment except for a nice sound.

The black cauldron that killed Dong Zhuo was carried by him. No matter how he explains it, no one will believe that this has nothing to do with him. After all, communication in this era still relies more on word of mouth. and also took over a mortal feud with the powerful Xiliang Army. At the same time, the credibility is discredited. In the end, the strength of his subordinates did not increase much. Now even the food and wages are about to go into trouble. If you have no money or food, who can follow you? Without soldiers and horses, what kind of general is he?

Thinking of this, Lu Bu smiled helplessly.

At this moment, he finally admitted in his heart that he was far inferior to that tall man. It's not just a matter of martial arts. People don't fight with you at all in the court, and they quietly take the most important things.

When you realize that something is wrong and want to snatch it. only to realize that Gao Zihou's strength had swelled rapidly, and Lu Bu didn't have the strength to turn his face at all.

As for what Wang Yun said, let him prepare his soldiers and horses to fight. Lu Bu didn't even think about it. He had fought with Gao Yang. Wu Yong, who he was most proud of, was not enough in front of Gao Yang at all. The strength of his soldiers and horses is even more different, coupled with the fear of Gao Yang's means and plans, Lu Bu has no intention of confronting Gao Yang at all.

As for Xu Rong and Duan Xuan and others. If you don't have the same mind, you can't work together to deal with Gao Yang. If it is really a large-scale firefight, it is even very likely that after losing both with Gao Yang, it will be taken advantage of by the Xiliang army outside the city.

And what made Lu Bu feel speechless the most was that there was more than one person who was ready to be a yellow sparrow. The more powerful Kwantung Coalition Army is still watching at Tiger Pass. Like a man's back, a dilemma. is talking about Lu Bu's situation at the moment.

The current situation made Lu Bu secretly regret it in his heart. He participated in the killing of Dong Zhuo and turned against the Xiliang Army. In the end, I got nothing but some nice official titles. These are things that his father-in-law could have given him in the past!

At this time, Lu Bu not only lost what he had in the past, but also fell into a situation where enemies were everywhere, which made Lu Bu's heart very dissatisfied. He's already thinking about how to get out of this situation. He was a cavalry commander, and defending the city was not something he was good at at all.

Wang Yun first went to the palace before going to the Gaoyang military camp. got the official title and title of rewarding Gao Yang from Liu Xie. The title of the captain in charge of the world's soldiers and horses and the marquis of Guannai! This is not insignificant.

In fact, Wang Yun also regretted it in his heart, he knew that it was this kind of scene, and it was better to vigorously win over Gao Yang when he killed Dong Zhuo before. (To be continued......)
