Huarong's reorganization was completed in only three days, and although the newly established Right Armed Guard Army was a new army, its combat effectiveness was not weak, after all, it was composed of elite soldiers, and now it was just a new name. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The full strength of the Right Armed Guard Army is 50,000 people, and the tentative personnel is 32,000. The staffing is one governor, two deputy governors, six generals, 12 captains, and 24 captains. There is also one governor Shi, one Cangcao master, and one Junzheng.

At the same time as the army was reorganized, because of Liu Pan's surrender, Han Lie also successfully recruited Wei Yan and other captured generals. In order to persuade Huang Zhong to submit to him, Han Lie not only agreed to Huang Zhong's request to see Liu Pan, but also personally accompanied him to visit Liu Pan at the post house where Liu Pan temporarily lived in Huarong City. Liu Pan, who had lived alone in the post house for many days, was surprised when he saw Han Lie and Huang Zhong coming together, he greeted Huang Zhong with a hint of surprise and said, "Is Han Sheng okay?" ”

The personal relationship between the two is undoubted, and Liu Pan's care for Huang Zhong is also a heartfelt performance. Huang Zhong nodded, held Liu Pan's hand, and said with affection: "Thank you for the general's concern, everything is okay with loyalty, but seeing that the general has a good complexion, Zhong can also rest assured." ”

"General Liu, you talk first, I'll go for a walk outside the house." Han Lie didn't bother the two of them and walked out of the post house alone, believing that giving them some space to talk at this time would play a better role than participating in it himself. To be honest, if Liu Pan really didn't want to use it for himself, Han Lie wouldn't force it, but Huang Zhong was determined to win, a general like Huang Zhong who was both wise and brave, if he couldn't be used by me, then he really had to get rid of it quickly, so as not to leave a strong enemy for himself.

As soon as Han Lie walked out of the post house, he saw a familiar figure riding towards him. Seeing Diao Chan's familiar shadow, Han Lie greeted him happily, and without waiting for Diao Chan to salute, he reached out to support Diao Chan's shoulders and said, "Cicada is not polite to me." ”

Although Diao Chan was wearing a Taoist robe at this moment, hiding his proud figure in it, but being held by Han Lie like this, coupled with the close distance, Diao Chan's pretty face couldn't help but change slightly, and he said calmly: "Thank you, General, this is the information we have collected from all over Jingnan recently." ”

After receiving the silk silk handed by Diao Chan, Han Lie could still smell the body fragrance on Diao Chan's body, it was obvious that this silk silk was carried by her, but at this time, Han Lie did not have too many thoughts, slowly unfolded the silk silk, and after looking at it for a while, Han Lie put away the silk silk and said: "Thank you for your hard work, this information is very timely, then you will stay with me to rest for a while, let your men and horses return to Jiangling to rest for some time, and then it will be a matter of the army to conquer." ”

"Whoa." Diao Chan's fair skin, recently obviously a little more wind and frost, obviously these days, she has been running around, but now she is in her twenties, obviously has a little bit of familiar charm, although she is still perfect, but she was born with a coquettish temperament, with the growth of age, it is indeed more charming.

Han Lie only looked at Diao Chan slightly, and then withdrew his gaze, for this woman, he had already regarded her as a relative, although he didn't mind giving Diao Chan a name, but if Diao Chan didn't mean this, he would definitely not have the slightest reluctance to her.

After inviting Diao Chan to sit down on the stone pier in the courtyard wall of the post house, Han Lie's mind drifted to the four counties of Jingnan, judging from the information brought back by Diao Chan, Wuling County has fallen into the hands of Sun Ce, and now only Liu Du and his son from Lingling County are still holding on to the city, but no one can be sure how long they can hold on to Zhou Yu, who is good at using strategies.

After Sun Ce captured Wuling, he left Han Dang to lead 10,000 horses to guard Wuling, and he himself led the main force back to Changsha County, now there are nearly 30,000 horses stationed in Changsha Sun Ce, and Sun Ben stationed in Luo County has more than 10,000 horses and horses because he surrendered more than 10,000 horses in Lusu at the beginning, and now there are more than 20,000 horses.

At the beginning, Sun Ben and Liu Pan attacked together and defeated Lu Su's 20,000 sailors, Liu Pan's choice of booty was mainly grain and warships, while Sun Ben chose soldiers.

In the southernmost Guiyang County, it was Sun Quan who held the position of Taishou, but Sun Quan had been in Jiaozhi, and Sun Ce's third brother Sun Yi temporarily replaced the Taishou and commanded 5,000 county soldiers to guard the town. Zhou Yu, who attacked Lingling, commanded the 15,000 sailors brought back from Yuzhang, and the 5,000 county soldiers handed over to him by Sun Ce, a total of more than 20,000 people to attack Lingling County.

With the population and land situation of the four counties of Jingnan, it is not a problem to support 80,000 horses, but all this needs to be built on time, and now it is a time when there is no success, Sun Ce's 70,000 or 80,000 troops consume a huge amount of food and grass every day, if he can't recuperate in time, his army will soon be short of food.

After learning about the situation in Jingnan, Han Lie thought about it, so he decided to take a two-pronged approach, send troops in two ways, feint to attack Changsha, mainly attack Wuling, and after opening up Wuling, he directly rushed to the aid of Liu Du of Lingling, forcing Zhou Yu to return in vain, and then concentrated the main force to besiege Changsha, further forcing Sun Ce to retreat to Jiaozhi, completely forcing Sun Ce into Jiaozhou, and letting this Jiangdong tiger go to the south to plague those small indigenous countries in Southeast Asia.

After Huang Zhong and Liu Pan in the post house had a heart-to-heart exchange, the two of them, who had figured it out, walked out of the post house together, although they didn't know what secret conversations the two had done, but when Han Lie saw the relaxed expressions of the two, he already knew that the two had made a decision.

"We will not give up, we are willing to die to serve the general." Huang Zhong and Liu Pan were a few steps away from Han Lie, and at the same time they bowed down to express their allegiance.

"Hurry up, please." Han Lie stepped forward to hold up the two of them, looked directly at Liu Pan and said: "General Liu raised troops to return to obedience this time, and he has made great contributions to the country and the people. ”

Giving a fief is a treatment that only a feudal marquis can have, but Han Lie is not the Son of Heaven now, and he has not established a country, so he naturally can't give Liu Pan as a wait, so he can only give him the actual fief first, and can't give him the title of marquis.

"Thank you for the kindness of the general, the last general will repay the general's kindness." Liu Pan didn't expect that Han Lie would give himself the treatment that only a marquis had, and give a county as a fief, which is also the treatment of the Hou country among the clan relatives of the Han family, one level higher than the liehou, it is a veritable princely treatment, no wonder Liu Pan is so excited.

"This is also what you deserve, no need to thank me, I have always rewarded and punished meritorious soldiers, and I will never bend the law for personal gain." Han Lie expressed his philosophy of governing the country according to the law, and turned to Huang Zhong and said: "Han Sheng, you can stay under my account for the time being, and you can only be wronged to serve as a partial general for the time being." ”

"It is an honor for the last general to be awarded such a generous reward without making an inch of merit." Huang replied earnestly.

Returning to the camp outside the city, Han Lie immediately summoned all the generals to the big tent to prepare for the intelligence of Jingnan and listen to everyone's opinions. However, when the generals arrived, the captain of the camp gate hurriedly reported: "My lord, Lu Dudu has returned. ”

"Zijing is back?" Han Lie stood up happily and said to the generals: "Later in the meeting, go and greet you first." ”

The generals in the camp got up one after another and walked out of the big tent with Han Lie, but before Han Lie reached the camp gate, Lu Su, Dong Xi, and Zhu Huan had already entered the camp with less than two thousand remnants.

"Sin will come to the Lord." Lu Su, Dong Xi, and Zhu Huan knelt in front of Han Lie with embarrassed faces, and knelt guilty on the ground to plead guilty.

With 20,000 of the 20,000 troops left, it can be said that Lu Su suffered a crushing defeat this time, and it was also the biggest defeat since Han Lie sent troops to Jingzhou. It stands to reason that such a defeat, as the main general, Lu Su and others should be severely punished, but this time their defeat is not entirely their culpability, mainly because of the news given by Han Lie, which misled them, making Lu Su mistakenly think that Liu Pan was a reinforcement, so that he was caught between Liu Pan and Sun Ben inside and outside the defenseless situation, which led to this fiasco.

"It's good to come back, this battle is also responsible, Zijing shouldn't blame himself." Han Lie stepped forward to help Lu Su, in the past half a month, Lu Su and the others have walked all the way out of Dazezhong, sleeping all day long, the whole person has lost most of his weight, and the clothes and armor on his body are also more damaged, like refugees.

"Although the lord is not guilty, Ran Su can't be sorry for the soldiers, and Su asks himself to be demoted and punished, otherwise the ministers will not dare to get up." Lu Su raised his head and replied with a firm face.

"Please punish the Lord, punish the guilty, how to serve the people in the future, please punish the Lord." Dong Xi and Zhu Huan also followed closely and asked for punishment.

There have always been only those who rush to attack and ask for rewards, such as Lu Su, there are not many generals who ask for punishment, when they see that the three of them insist on doing so, the generals who came with Han Lie originally had some contempt for their defeat, but gradually transformed into sympathy and respect.

Especially Huang Zhong, Wen Ping and other newly surrendered generals, it can be said that the opponent who caused Lu Su and others to defeat was them, but the situation was unpredictable, and in a blink of an eye, the two sides became their own people.

Seeing that Lu Su insisted on this, Han Lie thought about it and said: "In the first battle of Luo County, Lu Su was misled by this general, resulting in the loss of soldiers and generals, although it is excusable, but it must not be punished, and he is specially removed from the post of governor of the navy, reappointed as a general, and fined him for one year, Zhu Huan and Dong Xi were removed from the post of captain, reappointed as a military commander, and fined him for half a year. As a great general, I am responsible for dereliction of duty, and I should be dealt with by the warlords, so I will be beaten with fifty military sticks. ”

"General, no. The general must not be ......" As soon as he heard that Han Lie was going to punish himself with fifty military sticks, all the generals on the left and right suddenly bowed down and shouted.

"There is no need to persuade again, the matter is settled." Han Lie waved his hand in a deep voice and said, "Ding Feng, you take General Lu and the soldiers to settle down, General Zilan, please immediately enforce military law on me." ”

"Huh?" Although Xia Houlan is proficient in the law, he has been mainly responsible for the registration of military merits and the implementation of military law in the army over the years, because he enforces the law fairly and strictly, and is also quite respected by the soldiers in the army, but if he wants to enforce the military law to Han Lie, he really doesn't know how to deal with himself for a while.

"Two military advisors, there is no precedent for this?" Xiahou Lan, who had a bitter face, hurriedly set her eyes on Guo Jia Xunyou, if you want to say who has the most influence on Han Lie in the army, it is naturally the two military advisors.

Xun You hesitated for a moment, and just wanted to speak, but Guo Jia gestured to him with his eyes, and said: "The ancient Son of Heaven, legislating and serving the public, and then there is the "Book of Rites" containing: 'The rope is not twisted, the law is not noble', the lord legislates, it is the style of the ancient virtuous monarch, we are the ministers, we should follow the law, and General Zilan will not implement it until when." ”

"Huh?" Xiahou Lan was stunned for a moment, his mouth opened into a shape again, and after a while, he fell to the ground and shouted: "Please remove the lord from the post of the subordinate military chief, and forgive the subordinate for not being able to obey the lord's order." ”

Although what Guo Jia said was reasonable, Xiahou Lan also understood Han Lie's good intentions to maintain law and order, but as a military leader, he did not dare to carry it out, once this thing was done, then for him, it would be a mark that could not be washed away for generations, whether this was a benefit or a disadvantage, he really couldn't measure it.

"Bold Xiahoulan, do you have to disobey?" Han Lie's eyes lit up, and he looked at him and said, "Military law is like a mountain, how can you not be followed, now General Ben orders you to execute it immediately." ”

"Zilong ......" Xiahou Lan glanced at Zhao Yun aggrievedly, expecting Zhao Yun to ask for a favor for herself. Zhao Yun was also against Han Lie's self-punishment at first, but when Guo Jia opened his mouth, he had already seen that Han Lie had obviously made up his mind about this matter, no matter what the purpose of this military stick was, it must be carried out.

"Zilan, execute it." Zhao Yun looked at the distress gaze of this fellow countryman, and said with his head persuaded.

Seeing that Zhao Yun had persuaded himself, Xia Houlan had to grit his teeth and stand up, and shouted: "The law supervision team will come out and enforce the military law." ”

"Hit!" When Han Lie took off his armor and lay on the longboard in a green robe, Xia Houlan closed his eyes and sighed, letting out an angry roar.

"Smack! Syllable! ......" With the sound of the sticks falling, the huge camp suddenly became quiet, as if breathing had stopped. The soldiers of the middle battalion near the big camp all looked at Han Lie who was punished with empathy, and the generals who were in a circle on the left and right all bowed their heads with solemn expressions.

Especially the generals of the Jingzhou department were deeply shocked. They never thought that in Han Lie's army, not only the generals, but also the lords would put the law and discipline first, dare to face their mistakes, and accept the punishment of laws and regulations.

Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, Wei Yan and other talented generals saw from this incident what the unity of the monarch and the minister was, and at this moment they were in awe of Han Lie and the Jiangdong group.

Even if Han Lie is as physically fit, the fifty military sticks have been beaten to the flesh, and the clothes on his buttocks are also bloodstained, but Han Lie's expression is always the same, after the execution of the military law, Han Lie still pushed away the two Dian Wei and Xu Chu who stepped forward to support, looked directly at Xiahou Lan and grinned: "Zilan enforces the law fairly, and can be ranked as a court lieutenant." ”

"The subordinate is guilty." Xia Houlan knelt down and kowtowed with sweat on his forehead, but at this moment, he directly ignored Han Lie's words of praise for him.

"Zhongkang Fuzilan, get up." Han Lie waved his hand, walked to the big tent with one foot deep and one foot shallow, looked back at the generals and said: "The meeting continues, you guys will take care of the wound for a while, and then it will come." (To be continued.) )
