Swords and guns are like a forest, and war horses are neighing.

The 35,000 officers and men of the Qingzhou Army with high morale and the 8,000 selected prisoners of the Baibo Army lined up in an array, neatly and solemnly stretching for five miles.

Liu Cun, the commander of the Gao Dazhan horse, was fully armored, and six generals including Xu Sheng, Guan Hai, Liu Pi, and Xu Huang rode horses to follow, slowly inspecting the whole army, and every time they walked in front of an array, the fanatical Qingzhou army officers and soldiers would look up to their marshal Liu Cun excitedly, and shouted earth-shattering slogans with all their might:

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wan Sheng—"

Under the scorching sun, Liu Cun, who was riding a horse, waved frequently, and from time to time shouted to his soldiers "Brothers have worked hard", such encouraging and heart-warming words, followed by Xu Sheng, Guan Hai and other generals with pride on their faces.

Xu Huang, who saw this kind of scene for the first time, was not much better than the eight thousand Baibo soldiers who were lined up in four arrays alone, and their faces were full of emotion and shock.

Liu Cun inspected a circle, rode his horse back to the Chinese army's platform, twenty-four war drums suddenly sounded, and the 10,000 cavalry of the Qingzhou Army, which was once again fully replenished, took the lead in setting off, and the 5,000 elite infantry soldiers of the Fourth Division and the newly attached 8,000 Baibo soldiers followed.

"Take this with you and see when you get to the road."

Liu Cun handed over the two secret orders to Xu Sheng and Guan Hai, who led their troops to set off.

The two majestic generals took it with both hands, carefully put it into the delicate leather bag on their waists, and looked at each other and saluted the lord Liu Cun. Under Liu Cun's eyes, he walked quickly off the high platform. Turned over and got on the horse in high spirits. Catch up with your own team.

The half-vacated camp was still busy.

The more than 10,000 soldiers who stayed behind under the command of Liu Pi performed their own duties, and nearly 10,000 prisoners and tens of thousands of people who were not accepted by the Qingzhou Army began to dismantle the camp tents, and the captured more than 500 carriages and mules and horses were divided into more than ten teams, and the packed and piled up of grain and grass were constantly sent to the wharf.

In the spacious and luxurious tent behind the Chinese army's generals, more than a dozen young soldiers were busy again, and the heralds temporarily served by the soldiers of the personal guard battalion kept coming in and out, but none of them dared to make a loud noise. Everything is so well organized.

After signing his name, Liu Cun handed the letter to a personal guard and told him to send it to Cui Yan, the military advisor who led 6,000 foot soldiers to guard the wharf on the south bank as soon as possible.

Liu Cun smiled slightly, stood up and walked to the side, waved his hand to the guards who came forward, and personally poured a cup of tea for Xu Huang: "Gongming." Come on, sit down and let's talk. ”

Xu Huang hurriedly agreed. After a few steps to the left front of the main seat, he saw that Liu Cun actually handed him a cup of tea, and he was immediately terrified: "My subordinates dare not be ashamed." ”

Liu Cun put the teacup into Xu Huang's hand: "Sit down, there are not so many complicated etiquettes in our army, Gongming doesn't need to be restrained, I think you will get used to all this soon." ”

"Thank you, lord!"

Xu Huang held the heavy teacup, sat on the low stool brought by the guards, silently drank the tea and raised his head, his lips moved, but he didn't say a word in the end.

Seeing this, Liu Cun smiled and said: "If you have something to say, where did you get so many scruples?" ”

Xu Huang was no longer polite, took a deep breath, and calmly expressed the doubts in his heart: "After receiving the good news an hour ago, my subordinates have been thinking, since General Zhai Chao's 5,000 strange soldiers and the tiger and leopard battalion have successfully occupied Anyi City, General Wei Yan also captured Han Xian alive, and led his elite cavalry to join General Zhai Chao, the purpose of this battle has been achieved, but why did the lord send more than 20,000 troops to Anyi?" ”

"I heard what the lord said before, even if the Baibo army was completely annihilated, our army would not occupy Anyi for a long time under the watchful eye of all the princes, but now it ......"

Liu Cun smiled at Xu Huang, who wanted to speak but stopped: "If you have something to say in the future, you have to finish it, don't suffocate yourself, haha!" Since Gongming asked, then I will say it bluntly, among the more than 20,000 soldiers who went north to Anyi, only General Xu Wenxiang led 5,000 cavalry to Anyi for reinforcements, because Anyi is the nest of Han Xian for many years, and there must be a large amount of grain, grass, salt, iron, ordnance and other materials, which we must transport back to make up for the consumption of our army in this battle. ”

Xu Huang suddenly understood, grinning and secretly blaming himself, why can't he see this simple truth?

Liu Cun smiled and continued: "Gongming must know that Anyi, which is famous for its rich salt, iron and grain, is rich in the world, but does Gongming remember that in addition to Siyancheng (now Yuncheng, Shanxi), which occupies 30% of the salt output of the Han Dynasty, there are also three large ironware workshops controlled in the hands of several major families in Hedong......

"These three major workshops have been famous all over the world a hundred years ago, even the smallest Wang family ironware workshop has thousands of craftsmen and more than 50 years of history, and these three major workshops can be called the best in the world in terms of craftsman skills and the number of craftsmen!"

"Therefore, I asked Guan Hai and other generals to lead most of the infantry to Siyancheng, and at the same time collect craftsmen for my major iron factories in Qingzhou as much as possible, and at the same time requisition and send people's husbands to transport back all the iron tools and smelting equipment that can be moved."

Xu Huang was taken aback when he heard this, several major families in Hedong are strong, which one does not have thousands of family members who take care of the family?

Even Han Xian, who has been flying and domineering and entrenched in Hedong for several years, did not dare to easily touch the interests of these families, but he did not expect that his lord would not hesitate to start after the victory, and the potential harm involved a wide range of aspects, so Xu Huang could not persuade him directly:

"My lord, in this way, it will not only lead to the resistance of many families in Hedong, but also may cause the anger of the imperial court and the criticism of the people of the world!"

Because Xu Huang's voice was too loud, more than ten soldiers in the account stopped working, and the guards who stood around also looked over.

I saw Liu Cun smile calmly, put down the teacup unhurriedly, and looked at Xu Huang: "Gongming is very clear about the strong power of the Hedong family, and he must also understand all the major events that have happened in Hedong County in the past few years, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, from the princes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and then to the rapid rise of the Baibo Army to dominate Hedong. ”

"In the past few years, the banks of the great river have been in drought for many years, starving for thousands of miles, and the bones are in the wilderness. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the imperial court have been repeatedly held hostage by warlords such as Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan, and are still in dire straits at this moment. ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Liu Cun said that his face became more and more ugly, and finally stood up and shouted loudly:

"In my opinion, these family lords have long lost the country and all living beings in their hearts, and their children are all over the government and the opposition to control the government and government, but they have lost the minimum loyalty and morality, and they have controlled the local military and government for many years to do whatever they want, and they have dominated the career and manipulated the road to promotion, and suppressed the poor and the civilian class in every possible way......"

"They occupy more than eighty percent of the land, workshops and businesses in Hedong, but do not pay any taxes, live a life of poverty and luxury, but they also have to exploit and oppress the common people, knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow at the same time, they are still devouring the vitality of the Han Dynasty. How to inspire the morale of the military and the people? ”

"As for how the gate valve of the world thinks of me Liu Cun, how the Han Shilin criticizes me Liu Cun, to be honest, I don't care at all, I Liu Cun cares about the people of the world, and I care about the soldiers who shed their blood for the Han Dynasty, as long as thousands of people can live a stable and well-fed life, and let the Han nation reproduce and rejuvenate for thousands of years, I Liu Cun will unswervingly go on, and I will not hesitate to pay for my life!"

"My lord—"

"My subordinates are willing to die for the Lord!"

Fu Hong and more than a dozen other soldiers knelt down together, all of them excited, and their blood was boiling.
