Chapter 992: Huang Zhong
Theoretically, in the feudal era, when the productive forces were not developed, it was impossible to carry out large-scale military operations one after another. The first recommendation is to go to the eye and read the book quickly
There are a number of reasons that affect the ability to fight continuously. These include logistical supplies, complex roads, weather changes, infectious and endemic diseases, and the homesickness of sergeants who have been fighting abroad for a long time.
If the battle is won, the impact on all sides will be much smaller, because the morale of the victorious army is high. And if you win in a short period of time, and you win cleanly, there is not much loss. Then as long as the supply of materials is sufficient, it is still possible to make another large-scale attack in a short period of time. Because morale can be maintained at a very high level.
Gao Yang marched south to conquer Jingzhou, dispatching a total of more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. After more than a month of crushing attacks, he took the entire land of Jingzhou in one fell swoop. In this process, the total number of soldiers and horses really lost because of the war was only a few thousand. A strong army with advanced weapons and armor greatly reduced battle losses.
And the number of other soldiers in the army who lost more troops due to southern disease, miasma, marching and other reasons even exceeded the number of soldiers and horses killed in battle. This is still under the condition that Gaoyang has provided a large number of specific drugs for the prevention and treatment of diseases.
If there is no special medicine for Gaoyang, the Gaoyang Division, which is dominated by the Northern Army, really doesn't know how many people will be able to go back alive. Jingzhou at this time was not the land of fish and rice in later generations.
This is also the main reason why many princes have not been able to react quickly to what Gao Yang has done. None of them thought that Gao Yang would be able to solve Jingzhou so quickly. There's still plenty of time.
But, it's that fast!
After Sun Jian surrendered, he received official appointments from the imperial court and the emperor and a large amount of material assistance. After having the reputation of righteousness and a large number of grain and straw equipment, Sun Jian's strength expanded rapidly, and he soon achieved an overwhelming advantage in the four counties of Jingnan. According to Jia Xu's judgment, in more than two months at most, Sun Jian will be able to pacify the four counties of Jingnan.
As for the possibility that Sun Jian will take advantage of this opportunity, Gao Yang will not be worried.
First of all, Sun Jian's rapidly expanding army was crammed with a large number of biochemical warriors, who controlled the grassroots forces. Secondly, although Sun Jian's army was very large, he did not have the possibility of obtaining grain and materials from the local area. There is Xun Yu here. It is impossible for Sun Jian to have the opportunity to meddle in Jingzhou's local government affairs. As a result, Sun Jian's logistics could only rely on the supply of the imperial court. Once Gao Yang cut off supplies, Sun Jian's army would soon collapse.
And most importantly, Sun Jian knew very well in his heart that there was a huge gap in strength between himself and Gao Yang. is not only a desperate iron ship, but more importantly, Sun Jian saw that the two sides were not on the same weight class at all. Face the real strong who far surpass yourself. The arrogant Sun Jian was convinced from the bottom of his heart.
On the way back to Sili with Gao Yang's army, Sun Jian had already sent more than a dozen lobbyist heads as soon as possible to prove his loyalty.
When Gao Yang returned to Sili, he left Xun Yu with a force of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses led by biochemical warriors. Although Xun Yu could not directly mobilize this army, once something happened that was important enough to require the dispatch of troops. You can give him cards to play.
Jingzhou's local powerful families such as Cai Mao, Huang Zu, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others tried their best to resist Gaoyang's southward movement, and finally all of them were killed. Only the same local powerful family, but took the initiative to choose to return to the Shun Wenpin, was able to protect the full door.
In fact, the powerful people in those places are not without the vision to see that they would rather die than surrender, and they also took the initiative to find Gao Yang and expressed their willingness to surrender. It's just that Gao Yang's demand that they hand over all the fields and tenants is a demand that they can't accept at all.
Although Gao Yang said that he could subsidize them with goods. But what could be more important in an agrarian society than the fields? And. Without tenants, who will farm? Can't they go down to work in the fields, right?
In the end, only a small group of Haoqiang led by Wen Ping in the whole Jingzhou wisely chose the right path. Most of the rest of the heroes chose to burn jade in despair.
Wen Ping was stationed in Jiangxia with a group of soldiers and horses, and the rest of the local garrison was mainly composed of local soldiers in Jingzhou.
The loyalty of these soldiers, who had obtained the land and the new life from Gao Yang, was absolutely unquestionable. Under the command of a large number of biochemical warriors, they stabilized the local law and order in Jingzhou. Become an important help for Xun Yu.
It didn't take long for Gao Yang to return to Luoyang City and receive good news. Sun Jian persuaded Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, the guards of Changsha Youxian County, whom Gao Yang had named. This made Gao Yang very satisfied, and ordered Huang Zhong to quickly go north to Luoyang City, and at the same time take his seriously ill son Huang Xu with him.
Like most of the people who travel through the country, Gao Yang also has a habit of collecting famous generals. If you want to say that Gao Yang was the most satisfied military general in the Three Kingdoms era, it must be Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong has a strong personality and is brave and resolute. When fighting, he often takes the lead and is brave and fearless. Huang Zhong's reputation in his early years was not obvious. Mainly because there is no opportunity to show your talents. And his ability to kill the battle-hardened general Xiahou Yuan in front of the battle when he was more than seventy years old is enough to prove his martial bravery. Moreover, Huang Zhong is not only strong in martial arts, but also powerful in bow and arrow skills, which is comparable to the peerless Lu Fengxian.
Such a fierce general has a helpless fate. In the early years, his reputation was not obvious. Missed a great opportunity to make a name for yourself. By the time he really came out, he was already a self-proclaimed veteran. What's even more regrettable is that such a peerless general has only one only son, named Huang Xu. But he died early when he was young, and Huang Zhong finally had no queen.
Now that Gao Yang has subdued this peerless general, he will inevitably change his fate!
......
"Father, have we arrived in Luoyang City?" One was pale. The emaciated young man lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the magnificent Luoyang City Gate with a look of envy on his face, and asked with anticipation.
"Xu'er, we've arrived in Luoyang." Huang Zhong, who was majestic and wearing a robe, rode on a war horse, looked at his only son with a loving face, and said in response.
"Ahem, cough, cough~~~" Huang Xu, whose face was flushed, opened his mouth, obviously wanting to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden cough. Huang Zhong, who was next to the carriage, hurriedly dismounted, came to Huang Xu's side, and patted him on the back to smooth Huang Xu.
After a while, Huang Xu finally stopped coughing, picked up the silk cloth and wiped his mouth, and a touch of red was imprinted on the silk cloth.
Huang Zhong's face was extremely ugly. He had only one son, but he was suffering from tuberculosis. No matter how many doctors you see or how many medicines you take, it doesn't work. Seeing his son weaken day by day, Huang Zhong, who had the power to capture the dragon and subdue the tiger, had no choice, which made this brave general extremely sad in his heart.
"Xu'er doesn't have to worry, Lord Taiwei said that he would let the imperial doctor treat you, and this time he will definitely be able to cure the disease." Even if he was aggrieved in his heart, Huang Zhong looked at Huang Xu with a desperate and miserable face at the moment, and he could only endure his grief and persuade with good words.
"Father doesn't have to comfort me." Huang Xu put away the blood-stained silk cloth and smiled miserably. said, "Even Zhang Taishou (Zhang Zhongjing) said that my medicine stone is useless, and it can only be delayed." Even if it's an imperial doctor, what can it be? ”
"Don't worry about the children, let's go into the city now!" Huang Zhong, who was determined, did not want to see his children suffer, so he immediately ordered the servants to drive the carriage into the city. He didn't want to delay for a moment. As long as he can save Huang Xu, let him do anything.
Not only is mother's love great, but father's love is also great.
......
"This is a miracle medicine from a country in the Western Regions, and it has the effect of reviving the dead. There is only this one in the world, and I specially asked for it from His Majesty, so I will give it to you to treat your son's condition. "In Luoyang City, Gao Yang arranged a residence for Huang Zhong. Gao Yang, who was smiling, handed Huang Zhong a beautiful-looking pill box.
Huang Xu got tuberculosis, that is, tuberculosis. This disease is completely curable using modern medicine, it just takes some time.
And in order to highlight the shock, Gao Yang took out the all-purpose potion prepared by the Interstellar Federation for the natural man sergeants from the origin. A magic pill disguised as a tribute from a small country in the Western Regions was given to Huang Zhong. As for what there is only one in the world, it has the effect of resurrecting the dead is nonsense. Among other things, curing tuberculosis is very simple.
The reason why Gao Yang came to do this kind of thing by himself is mainly because Gao Yang wants to feel the joy of subduing talents. The strength is so strong that it is difficult for him to find something meaningful to do.
“...... Thank you!! Huang Zhong, who was tearful in his eyes, bowed and thanked him heavily. For Huang Zhong at this age, there is nothing more important than the only son under his knees. If the magic medicine given by Gao Yang can really save Huang Xu, then Huang Zhong's loyalty to Gao Yang will definitely reach the level of explosion.
A few days later, an infamous Southern Army General was suddenly promoted by Gao Yang to a high-ranking general!
This incident caused a heated discussion among the government and the opposition and the entire Luoyang City. Everyone was speculating about what kind of ability this military general named Huang Zhong had to be so used by Lord Taiwei?
Huang Zhong's only son's illness was finally cured. Although his body is weak due to perennial illness, it is impossible to inherit Huang Zhong's peerless martial arts. But being able to leave a life behind is already a blessing to the heavens. The excited Huang Zhong loyally bowed to Gao Yang's command.
"Hansheng." Gao Yang, who was smiling lightly, looked at Huang Zhong, who was standing respectfully in the hall, and said with a smile, "There are rumors that you are a nobody, but you suddenly became a general, and many people are suspicious of you." ”
"Lord!" Huang Zhong, whose mental state was obviously completely different from when he first arrived in Luoyang, bowed confidently and replied loudly: "The last general is willing to use the sharp blade in his hand to justify his name!" ”
"Good!" Gao Yang put down the wine glass in his hand and slapped his palm vigorously. stood up and said loudly, "Then Yuan Shao sent his general Yan Liang to lead his troops across the river to attack Guandu, and Han Sheng, you led your troops to destroy him." Can it be done? ”
When Huang Zhong heard this, a resolute bright color suddenly flashed in his eyes. Taking a deep breath, he shouted loudly with a resolute gaze: "The last general will take his head and sacrifice it to the lord!" (To be continued.) )xh118
