Chapter 44: Serial Schemes (2)

Watching Ji Ling's back gradually move away, Gong Du said with some concern: "Lord, will it be too risky for us to let him go like this?" ”

Liu Zhi saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, as if he had not said anything yet, so he said: "Are you worried that after he returns to Yuan Shu, he will lead troops to attack us again, and after the lesson of the last time, Ji Ling will definitely bring more people this time, and he will be more careful than last time, so it is difficult for us to deal with it, right?" ”

Gong Du nodded: "Lord Mingjian, the humble mind really can't hide from your eyes at all!" ”

Gong Du, this guy, inadvertently slapped Liu Zhi a little sycophant, but this guy is also affectionate and righteous in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in order to cover Uncle Liu Huang's retreat, he led the army to resist the Cao army, but his strength was not good, and he was killed by Gao Lan, the general of the Cao army, and Gao Ran was then beheaded by Zhao Yunzhen, who was sent by Liu Bei to rescue Gong Du, and it can be regarded as revenge for him.

At first, Liu Zhi wanted to go south to Jingzhou directly, he was eager to unlock the secret of the compass on his body, and then so that he could return to ancient times, but after the Yellow Turban Army sent someone to ask him for help, he changed his mind, and he would definitely go back if he went back, but he was not in a hurry, this era was the most serious period of warlord melee in Chinese history, if he could do something, then Liu Zhi was very willing to do it.

And Gong Du's plea for help gave him hope to change history.

The number of the Runan Yellow Turban Army is actually not much, but it is not only the 20,000 or 30,000 people in the hands of Gong Du and Liu Pi, but also a large number of other small Yellow Turban troops scattered in a forest, and Gong Du took the initiative to hand over his military power to Liu Zhi after inviting Liu Zhi over, although this is just a group of rabble for Liu Zhi, but it also makes more than 20,000 people in his hands out of thin air.

In fact, the quality of the army during the Three Kingdoms period is generally not very high, it is difficult to compare with the morale of the late Qin and early Han dynasties, the war was fought to the end, the population of the whole world plummeted by 9 percent, and the lack of population made it very difficult to recruit soldiers, therefore, as long as they were at least sixteen years old and less than fifty years old, they would be included in the scope of conscription, and although the princes were all exhausted, the power of a place was limited after all, and it was very difficult to pay for huge grain and grass, not to mention any sophisticated equipment and rigorous training.

This influence lasted until the Western Jin Dynasty, and this is why after the unification of the Three Kingdoms in the Western Jin Dynasty, they could not resist militarily in the face of the harassment of the nomads in the north, and after the outbreak of the Eight Kings Rebellion, the Western Jin Dynasty finally fell apart, and the Central Plains fell into a dark period of chaos and chaos.

So today, as long as you have enough people in your hands and a large enough area of territory to occupy, then you have the ability to win the world.

Runan belongs to Yuzhou, and Yuzhou is the granary of the world, although in recent years because of the impact of the Yellow River drought, the grain output has been greatly reduced, and the population has also been inevitable, but the potential here is huge after all, not only the plains are numerous, but also rely on the Yellow River, as long as the water conservancy is built, then the development is also promising, just like now, the northern princes want to compete for Jizhou, it is because Jizhou is affected by the war is small, the grain harvest, the population gathers, so it has become the princes in the eyes of the fragrant bait, the same, Yuzhou also has this potential.

And Yuan Shu, who is entrenched in Nanyang, has no ability at all, except for a little more resources in his hands, he has no other advantages, so Liu Zhi decided to calculate Yuan Shu once and let him let him bleed, after all, the job of the transport captain is his duty!

"Have you done what you were told?"

Liu Zhi retracted his train of thought and said to Gong Du.

Gong Du nodded, "I have asked all the people in the village to be counted, and they have been registered according to your orders, in addition, the information of the colonels and generals in the army has also been recorded, and it must have been sent to your study at this time." ”

Liu Zhi nodded, since it has been sent, let's go and take a look, he remembers that there are a lot of available talents in the Yellow Turban Army in Runan.

After detailed statistics, Gong Du's subordinates have a total of 22,427 people, of which more than 12,000 can fight, that is to say, half of these people are old and weak women and children.

Among the more than 12,000 combat troops, the number of people who can really be called elite soldiers is less than 5,000, which coincides with the number of the army that Liu Zhi selected from here before.

In addition to the soldiers, there are more than 100 generals in the Yellow Turban Army, most of them are low-level generals such as Dubo, Hundred Generals, and Yamen Generals, and there are also some miscellaneous generals, of course, these are self-appointed by the Yellow Turban Army, and the imperial court will definitely not recognize them.

In the list of these people, Liu Zhi really found some more famous generals in later generations, such as Guan Yu's deputy general Zhou Cang, Shuzhong general Liao Hua, and Pei Yuanshao and others who started an incident with Zhou Cang.

Among these people, Zhou Cang should belong to the second-rate generals, and his martial arts are similar to the four generals of Eastern Wu (Cheng Huang Hanzu), in romance, he often plays the role of Guan Yu's dragger, helping Guan Yu to hold his heavy Qinglong Yanyue knife, and also has a brilliant performance in the water to capture Pang De, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue knife weighs 9981 pounds, and it is one of the top several heavy weapons in the Three Kingdoms period, and Zhou Cang can carry Guan Yu's knife very easily, which even Guan Yu's eldest son Guan Ping can't do, saying that he doesn't have two brushes, That's obviously impossible.

As for Pei Yuanshao, this person is tragic, he and Zhou Cang have already planned to take refuge in Guan Yu and act as Guan Yu's retainer, but Zhou Cang went to contact Guan Yu first, and Pei Yuanshao was waiting in the village, but he happened to meet Zhao Yun who was passing through this place during this time, Zhao Yun's mount was a snow-white BMW, named Chasing the Wind, which means that when he runs, it is as fast as the wind.

Pei Yuanshao has been in the grass for a long time, and of course he was excited to see BMW, and when he saw that the horse rider was a Confucian young general, he was very contemptuous, so he came forward to challenge Zhao Yun and wanted to take away Zhao Yun's chasing wind.

Zhao Yun is one of the best generals in the world, even a first-class military general like Gao Ran was stabbed under his horse with a shot, how could Pei Yuanshao be an opponent, after three or five moves, Pei Yuanshao was in a different place.

And Liao Hua is also a third-rate general, and his force value is not very outstanding.
