While Qiao Ren was entangled in this woman named Lin Ji, Huainan Shouchun, the rear general Dai Gang, who was supposed to be in Huaiyin, suddenly appeared here. At the same time as Dai Gang arrived, there were also Song Qian, Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng, Zhu Huan, and Ding Feng generals scattered all over Huainan, that is to say, in addition to Liuzan with 3,000 soldiers stationed in Huaiyin, more than 30,000 troops in Huainan gathered here.

And this is all the main force, in the words of later generations, it is a full-time professional war, Dai Gangbing made a risky move, except for Hefei, Huaiyin and other important towns, the rest of the cities were basically handed over to the county soldiers.

"General Hou, do you really want to fight?" Xu Sheng was somewhat unconvinced that Huainan's troops had been evacuated, and it was also a battle of Huainan generals' own initiatives.

"Hmm!" Dai Gang also had a headache, although he was the highest military general in Huainan, but Sun Ce did not explicitly appoint him as the governor of the capital, but let him be the governor of the Xu military, a difference in name, but the actual position is very different, if the former governor (all kinds of governors) then the generals of Huainan are his subordinates, and the governor military is just like the literal, he is only the governor and not a direct subordinate.

Dai Gang was calm and calm, coughed lightly, and glanced at the ecology of the generals in the hall, I have to say that the foundation left by Qiao Ren is still very good, at least Dai Gang can be dispatched, and there is no opposition to the military order. "The intelligence of Yecheng shows that the King of Wei has already fallen into the mountains."

"King Wei died, this we know, but Shouchun's Xiahoudun still hasn't returned to Yecheng to mourn?" Xu Sheng persevered, this was not because he was against Dai Gang, on the contrary, Xu Sheng and Dai Gang had a very good relationship, and there was a little kinship. He is here to make sure that there will be no mistakes in Dai Gang's battle, so he has to ask all the questions clearly, so that he can check and fill in the gaps!

"Hehe, Wen Xiang is not in a hurry. The information of Yecheng is not as simple as the death of King Wei. You all know Qingzhou soldiers! ”

"I know." Zhu Huan, who was already at odds with Zhu Zhi, opened his mouth and said: "The Qingzhou soldiers are the main force of the Cao army's infantry, and the location of the Wei king's army. The elite is abnormal, although it is not as good as the five colonels and Xiaoguo of the Chinese army, but it is not inferior to the solution of troubles and stronger than the fourth army, and there are many people, as many as more than 80,000. ”

"Brother Hugh Mu, he is really knowledgeable. Qingzhou soldiers have been soldiers for generations, but the allegiance is not Wei but Wei King Cao Ying, according to intelligence, after the King of Wei went, the Qingzhou soldiers who were brought back to Yecheng by the King of Wei mutinied! Dai Gang smiled and said a news that shocked everyone, which was also Qiao Ren's biggest honor guard when he was in Jingzhou.

In that year, the Yellow Turban thieves who surrendered to Cao Ying totaled about one million, of which the number of Yellow Turban Army was about 300,000, not only young and strong men (that is, the main body of the later Qingzhou soldiers), but also old and weak soldiers and young "baby soldiers", in view of the previous failure to attack Xu Rong and the previous experience of the Yangzhou soldiers who were recruited to rebel, Cao Ying put the combat effectiveness and loyalty of the soldiers in the first place, and the Qingzhou soldiers were invincible and loyal to Cao Ying only like a tooth guard. It is conceivable that the Qingzhou soldiers must have undergone a rather strict selection, and in the end, tens of thousands of people were organized into a formal army system, and in order to dispel the worries of the soldiers and build a relatively stable logistics base at the same time, the rest of the people, including the families of the Qingzhou soldiers, were arranged to be stationed in the fields to provide food and grass for the military.

However, the success of Cao Ying's loyalty building and personality cult led to a serious consequence, as these Qingzhou soldiers were loyal to him alone, and did not recognize their successor Cao Pi as their lord. After Cao Ying's death, he mutinied in Yecheng and wanted to unload his armor and return to the field, the reason was also to make people laugh and cry, they thought that after Cao Ying's death, there was no one in the world worthy of their allegiance.

These Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were originally descendants of a group of anti-thieves and anti-thieves, what can they think of loyalty, what are they afraid of, they only believe, only trust, and only be loyal to Cao Ying, that's all.

At this time, the relieved deputy military captain (that is, the deputy general) Lu You (Lu Fan's eldest son) hurriedly said: "General Hou, there are 30,000 Cao troops in Shouchun City, and more than half of them are Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. ”

"Yes, that's right!" Seeing that someone understood, a smile flashed on Dai Gang's face, and then he talked eloquently: "The Qingzhou army in Yecheng asked to be disarmed and returned to the field, and the Qingzhou soldiers in Shouchun are also like Yecheng. ”

"Ahem, the general has received information?" The veteran Huang Zhong asked Dai Gang with a three-inch gray beauty, but he didn't want to fight all the time!

"No, that's just Ben's estimate." Dai Gang didn't say anything to death, because he really didn't receive the news of the mutiny of the Qingzhou Army in Shouchun. And Qiao Ren's letter to him is even more nonsense, Qiao Ren said in the letter that he watched the sky at night, saw Ziwei three points, Gou Chen was bleak, there was a sign of the world's top standing, Gou Chen Gongwei Ziwei Emperor Star, and Gou Chen was dim, and one of the three families must have a heavy minister die, according to his Qiao Ren's expectations, Wu Zhi Zhou Yu, Han Zhi Fazheng, and Wei Zhi Xia Hou Dun are this bleak Gou Chen.

Isn't this pure nonsense, although Dai Gang believes that Qiao Ren will not harm him, I am afraid that Xiahoudun will really die this year, but how can he convince the generals in the hall!

"There are absolutes, but if you are 50% sure, it is worth trying." Unexpectedly, but it was reasonable, Huang Zhong finally stood up. "The old man thinks that General Hou is worth a try."

"Good! What General Huang said is very true, what do you think? ”

"The Empress General's Order!" All the generals glanced at each other in unison, and they all saw the eagerness to try and the burning battle intent in each other's eyes.

Huainan and Jingzhou marched hand in hand to be the base of the northward movement of the Eastern Wu, Hefei and Jiangling were the places of logistics, the bridgehead of the Eastern Wu in the north of the Yangtze River, and Xiangyang and Shouchun were the places where the troops went north. In the battle of Jingzhou, Lü Meng and Lu Xun recovered Nanjun Jiangling from the Han army and Xiangyang from the Wei army.

After the Wu-Han alliance was negotiated, Lü Meng only brought 20,000 soldiers and horses to defend Jiangling, and the rest of the soldiers were all handed over to Lu Xun for training. And the Eastern Front, which has always been competing, was strangled in Shouchun and could not go north. Can the Huainan generals, who have always been in front of the Western Front, not be aggrieved? Therefore, these generals all wanted to take Shouchun and regain the glory belonging to the Eastern Front, so that the armament, grain, and policies of the small court of Jianye would not deviate to the Western Front. After all, the strength of the Western Front is now soaring, both soldiers and horses, and generals are better than the Eastern Front, and the former Metropolitan Governor of the Western Front is also brilliant.

"Good! All colleagues work together, why not worry about the longevity of the spring. The generals obey their orders! Dai Gang was also excited, and changed his appearance to a steady and passionate manner

"In!"

"Order, the partial general Huang Zhong and the Yangwu captain Zhu Huan soldiers to go out of Shaobei and control the west."

"Whoa!"

"Order, Zhenbei General Sun Shao sent Jiujiang Yinling to cut off the threat of the Xuzhou Army to our army's flank."

"Whoa!"

Sun Shao has always had the title of Jiujiang Taishou, but Jiujiang County was divided, Hefei became Huainan County (Hefei County), Liyang and other places established Linchuan County, his nominal territory of Jiujiang County is only two counties near Chaisang and five counties around Shouchun, it can be said that there is enough nothingness, this time he was asked to take the original place of Jiujiang County, Sun Shao was full of energy.

"Deputy Military Captain Governor Liu Xun assists, and the rest of the generals will follow me to attack Shouchun!"

"Whoa!"

There is another person in the tent, but Jingzhou came back just now, and it is Liu Xun, who was originally under Sun Shao. Now he is an official and a partial general, and he has the qualifications to lead an army alone, and he has also recruited 3,000 soldiers from Changsha County, plus 1,000 soldiers of Danyang Xinmu given by Qiao Ren, and he is training with an old low-level officer in the original Shu army, so Dai Gang did not give him any task, that is, to cooperate with Lu You to charge grain, and managing the rear army can be regarded as honing this seedling.

After all, grain is the foundation of the army, and the protection of grain routes by famous generals has always reached an outrageous level, which is what generals must learn. The defeat of Yuan Shaoguandu is still in the dust of history not far away, waiting for the next peer.

After all, Liu Xun is still Liu Zhang's son, although Liu Zhang is incompetent, but Sun Ce in order to appease him, or to blackmail Liu Bei, Liu Zhang was appointed as the chief farmer, maybe he is still more suitable for this position, because Liu Zhang seems to have such a hand in agriculture, at least the governance is qualified. In this way, Liu Xun is also a high-ranking official, but their family is rootless, the only one they can rely on is Qiao Ren, Dai Gang is not afraid of the disaster of raising tigers, and the most important thing is that he is also a good material and beautiful jade.
