Chapter 19 Heading south to Yingchuan

The coalition army eventually dispersed, and the princes of the Eighteenth Route also returned to their own territory, and Liu Zhi also followed Cao Cao to the east, he wanted to go to Yingchuan first, Yingchuan was the place where talents were produced at the end of the Han Dynasty, including Yingyin Guanshi; Yang Zhai Xue, Yuan, Chu, Zhao, Li, Guo; Yingyang Wang, Yao; Wuyang Han; Chosha Chung; Many wealthy families, including the Jia Zang clan and the Shen clan, are here, and it can be said that this is the place where the most wealthy families in the Kanto region gather.

Yingchuan has not been seriously damaged by the war at this time, so a large number of scholars have not escaped, so that education here is prosperous, private schools are everywhere, and the style of learning is prevalent.

Liu Zhi was a cultural worker in later generations, so he was very interested in the culture of this era, especially the popular literature among the scholars, and if he wanted to understand this, he was bound to enter the two places of Yingchuan and Xiangyang, of which Yingchuan was about to suffer from the invasion of the Yellow Turban Army, so his actions must be fast, if he waited until the Yellow Turban Army swept and then went, Yingchuan would become a scorched earth.

Sun Jian left his guards with a total of only fifty people, the leader of the team is a tooth general, he is very young, Liu Zhi knows his name, his name is Xu Zeng, and he is only twenty years old this year.

Originally, according to the military system of the Han Dynasty army, from bottom to top, it was Wu Chang - Shi Chang - Du Bo - Hundred Generals - Yamen General, Cavalry Governor, Ministry Governor, etc. - Other Sima (Military Sima) - Miscellaneous Duwei (Riding Du Wei) - Miscellaneous Captain (but the five schools have almost become Qing Gui Wu Rank, partial text) - Miscellaneous Zhonglang General (Wuguan, left, right, Tiger Ben Zhonglang will be similar to the five schools) - General Pi - Partial General - Miscellaneous General (General Pi, partial general should be the end of the miscellaneous general, but the status of the other two-word generals is different) - Four Signs, There is a system of generals on the front and back - generals - hussars, chariot generals - generals, and a team of fifty people is at most assigned to a Dubo or a hundred generals, and Sun Jian arranged a tooth general for him, which can be regarded as special care for him.

Although there are few people in the guard, they are all cavalry, and they have been killed by real knives and guns on the battlefield, so there should not be much problem in ensuring basic security.

Considering that Liu Zhi can't ride a horse, so Xu Zeng specially got him a carriage and asked him to sit on the carriage to hurry, Liu Zhi did not refuse, the war horses of the Jiangdong Army are all one meter three or four high, it is very difficult to ride, and riding a horse is not a simple matter, this requires the rider to have a very strong leg strength, to be able to stabilize on the horseback, at this time there is no such smooth road as in later generations, even if you ride a war horse, it is also bumpy, very bumpy, which is a bit difficult for Liu Zhi, So I will take a look at the carriage first, and then study it later when I have time.

The group traveled south, Yingchuan was only more than 500 miles away from Luoyang, and they traveled 70 or 80 miles a day, and they could arrive in less than seven days.

Along the way, Liu Zhicai saw the profound impact of the Yellow Turban Uprising on the Eastern Han Dynasty, full of dilapidated houses and broken walls, although the villages everywhere are not ten rooms and nine empty, but they are also sparsely populated, there are dead trees and white bones everywhere, and from time to time you can still see a few broken military flags and some rusted weapons, obviously this is the ancient battlefield.

Liu Zhi was very surprised, because Luoyang was the capital of the Han Dynasty, although the Yellow Turban Army launched the Yellow Turban Uprising in 184, but they did not really threaten Luoyang, and the farthest was precisely to Yingchuan, and then Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun joined forces to repel them in Yingchuan, and although the Yellow Turban Army made a comeback after that, the influence was not as great as the first time, the main reason was because Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty accepted Sima Liu Yan's suggestion after the first Yellow Turban Army uprising, Set up the official position of state pastor in various places, the state pastor is not only a civil official in various places, but even can control the military power, which is more beneficial to the suppression of bandits in various places, but it has laid the groundwork for the simultaneous development of heroes and warlords in various places, and Liu Yan also left Luoyang smoothly and came to Shuzhong, becoming the first Yizhou state pastor.

In Liu Zhi's memory, there was no large-scale Yellow Turban Army in the area around Luoyang, and only a small group of Yellow Turban Army appeared here, or the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army that were defeated after the Battle of Yingchuan, but even so, these places were still dilapidated because of the war.

The Yellow Turban Army is the same as the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, they all like to wrap the people around and advance together, such as the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, which is known as one million to the outside world, but in fact their number is indeed more than one million, but there are a large number of old and weak women and children, and there are less than 200,000 people who really have combat effectiveness.

Even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was defeated, there were still remnants of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, including Black Mountain, Baibo, Huanglong, Zuoxiao, Qingniujiao, Wulu, Qigen, Li Damu, Zuo Zhangba, Kushi, Liu Shi, Pinghan, Dahong, Baihuan, Sili, Yuancheng, Luoshi, Lei Gong, Fuyun, Feiyan, Baijue, Yang Feng, Yu Poison, etc., and there were 20,000 or 30,000 powerful among them. There are also six or seven thousand people in the small force. And the Black Mountain thieves led by Zhang Yan are even known as millions of followers.

"Sir, the brothers have found something unusual in front of you, would you like to come and take a look."

Just when Liu Zhi was still deep in thought in the carriage, Xu Zeng came over and said, Liu Zhi saw that his expression was abnormal, and it seemed that there was indeed an abnormal situation in front of him, so he lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked, "What is the situation, take me to see it." ”

The carriage continued to move forward, and after walking forward for about a mile, a village appeared in front of it, such a village Liu Zhi had seen countless times along the way, and this village was no different from the village he had seen before in appearance, it was the same tattered and lifeless.

Xu Zeng signaled them to arrive, Liu Zhi saw a group of soldiers standing at the edge of the village, he walked over, and saw that the village was full of corpses, which surprised him, these people were all dressed in civilian clothes, and judging from the blood clotting on the ground, it was obvious that they had not been dead for a long time, and the blood had not completely dried up.

"General Xu, what's going on, who killed them?"

Although Liu Zhi has experienced the war, he has always stayed in the rear of the army as a strategist of the Jiangdong Army, so he has never been on the battlefield, this is still the time he saw the dead at such a close distance, and the dead are civilians, which makes him feel very angry and even forget his fear.
