Thirty miles outside Waihuang County, "Taiwei, Waihuang County has been conquered by our army." A Yellow Turban general, carrying a dead head, walked into the big tent of the Yellow Turban Army, the head was still in the big tent, and shouted at Jia Long, who was studying the map.

Turning his head, he saw that Jia Long was a young man with clear eyebrows, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in purple, very handsome, glanced at the head on the ground, Jia Long smiled faintly and said: "The general has outstanding military achievements, and this Taiwei will ask His Majesty for merit." ”

When the general heard Jia Long's words, he bowed down with a happy face and said: "Thank you for the great kindness of the Taiwei, the last general is willing to follow the Taiwei to the death!" ”

"Take a seat." Jia Long looked very plain, glanced around at the fifty-six generals in the tent, and said: "The next stop of our army is Xiaohuang County, Xiaohuang County is dangerous, although it has long been occupied by my Dajin Dynasty, but more than 100,000 Tianci troops have been stationed in Baimajin in the north, it is difficult to guarantee what ambush will be set up in Xiaohuang County, who wants to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, go to inspect first?" ”

Recently, Jia Long is a little uneasy, always feeling that something will happen, Yanzhou has long been occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, although it has lost Baimajin and Baima County, but Jia Long believes that it is impossible for the Tianci Army to go south so quickly to set up an ambush in Xiaohuang County, but the most important thing for the march is to march step by step, and now the 600,000 army in Jia Long's hands, but it is the most important army that determines Luoyang's belonging, although he thinks that he is not as good as the Tianci Army, but at least he can drag the footsteps of the Tianci Army.

The more than one million yellow scarves under the Tiger Prison Pass are just eleven rabbles in Jia Long's eyes, and they can't even attack the Tiger Prison Pass for such a long time, what use do you want them? According to the latest news, Jia Long learned that the Tiger Prison Pass was in tatters, and he could take it as long as he worked a little harder, but the army besieging the city couldn't take it, so it could be said that it was a waste of waste!

"Captain, the last general is willing to go!" A lean-looking man stood up and shouted at Jia Long on one knee.

The southerners are very short, and most of the Northern Expeditionary Army are young and strong in Yangzhou, so most of the generals are about seven feet, and there are no eight-foot or nine-foot big men, but even so, these lean men should not be underestimated, after all, those who can become generals always have some ability.

"Okay, then General Wang will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, remember, no matter whether there is an ambush in Xiaohuang County or not, someone must be sent to report at night, and our army has no time to delay." Yangzhou Northern Expeditionary Army followed by Zhu Jun, this is Jia Long's heart disease, if it weren't for Jia Long's superior wisdom, I am afraid that Zhu Jun would have been held to death, the most important thing is that the supply of military food is getting less and less during this period of time, and it is impossible to transport military food from Shouchun, most of them are transported to Xuzhou by water, and then transported from Xuzhou to Jia Long's army, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also laborious and costly, and the Yellow Turban Army is already very tired.

"No!" The general surnamed Wang didn't talk nonsense, and after bowing to Jia Long, he hurriedly bowed down and retreated to the camp tent, preparing to order troops to Xiaohuang County.

Watching the general surnamed Wang leave, Jia Long glanced around at the people in the camp tent, and said in a heavy tone: "There is new news from Yangzhou"

"Huh??" Hearing Jia Long's headless words, most of them couldn't help frowning, what made Jia Long's tone heavy, it was definitely a problem in the rear, for a period of time, these generals didn't hear gossip, they just believed it, after all, it was impossible to hide such a big thing in Yangzhou.

The people in the south are the most homesick, this is a problem since ancient times, in the past, because of this drawback, Liu Bang sang a Chu song, and the momentum of the Chu overlord army hit the freezing point, and now when he heard the news from the rear, the hearts of most of the golden generals were tightened.

"There is a Liu Bei in Huiji County, this person has bravery, and he has made trouble all over Yangzhou, and now most of the counties in Yangzhou have been captured by Liu Bei, and the situation is very critical." Jia Long didn't want to say it, but there were already rumors in the army, if he didn't come forward to express his position, the army's morale would be in chaos.

These generals, almost all of them have human lives on their backs, and according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, they will all be arrested, not to mention that they still have the name of anti-thieves on their heads now? Homesick, yes! Then you have to leave the big army, let's not talk about whether you can leave, if most of the generals run away, the army will be dispersed, and when the time comes, the Han will re-establish its authority, and these people are not afraid of being settled by the autumn queen?

Therefore, when the matter is announced, Jia Long is not worried at all, and he can borrow the hands of these yellow turban generals to stabilize the general's heart, Jia Long knows that although on the surface, these yellow turban generals are all men who stand up to the sky, but in private, who is not afraid of death? Who wants to die?

In the army, they can drink a lot of wine, eat a lot of meat, and have countless men and horses under their command to serve them, but as soon as they leave the army, they are nothing, and even become fugitives, how can it be cost-effective? Fools understand.

"Captain, now that there is a problem in the rear, won't the grain and grass be supplied?" A more wise-looking general stood up and asked Jia Long, what this general thought of was not to return to the south to keep his family, but to consider the problem of the army first, if there was no supply of military rations, wouldn't an army be half dead?

"It doesn't matter, grain and grass can be plundered on the spot, Yanzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, although it has suffered from war, but there are still many gate lords, we can get enough grain and grass." Jia Long glanced at the general who spoke, nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Captain, the family members of the sergeants are all in Yangzhou, if Yangzhou falls, won't we be able to go back?" A soldier with a worried face stood up and asked Jia Long.

"Huh?" Jia Long frowned, if no one takes the lead, this matter can be put aside, but if someone takes the lead, he can't help but answer: "As long as Luoyang is captured, the Han Dynasty will be destroyed, and when the time comes, where is not our home?" ”

"Don't worry, even if the Han army attacks the city, it will definitely not do anything to our family, after all, there are 600,000 soldiers in my crusading army, they don't dare to act rashly, as long as Si Li's battle is won, we can withdraw to Yangzhou at any time and kill all these thieves." Jia Long put his hands behind his back, looking like he was holding a wisdom bead, very confident, just like Liu Bei and the others were just a few ants.

"Tai Lieutenant, since ancient times, the Southern Army and the Northern Expedition have almost never succeeded, during this period of time, due to the lack of adaptation to water and soil, at least one percent of the soldiers have no combat effectiveness, and now the rear is unstable, how can they fight a decisive battle with the Tianci Army? Did the last general think that he would consider withdrawing the troops first and then talk about it after pacifying Yangzhou? Although Jia Long's explanation is very good, the tradition of homesickness in the south is the inheritance of blood, and it is impossible to change it because of Jia Long's few words.

After all, from the south to the north, the weather is getting colder and colder, because of the weather, most of the soldiers will get all kinds of diseases, the most of them are typhoid fever, in this era, if they have typhoid fever, they are almost useless, so during this period of time, the non-combat attrition is as high as more than 10,000 people, Jia Long is very heartbroken, and the Yellow Turban generals are also anxious like ants on a hot pot, and if it goes on like this, they dare not guarantee, Will the army mutiny.

"Retirement?" Jia Long frowned, his face was ugly, he stared at the general who spoke, and said gloomily: "Captain Ben issued a decree before the Northern Expedition, and anyone who disturbs the heart of our army will be killed!" ”

When the "Tai Lieutenant" general heard Jia Long's gloomy words, his face suddenly changed greatly, although he was suspected of disturbing the army's heart, but after all, this general said the hearts of many generals in the camp, but he didn't want to offend Jia Long.

"Where's the magistrate? dragged down this rebel who disturbed the morale of the army and beheaded him. Jia Long turned around with a gloomy face, and shouted loudly without looking at the warlord's frightened look.

"The captain spares his life, the last general will never dare to disturb the morale of the army, and I hope that the captain will be gracious." Hearing that he was about to be beheaded, the general was immediately at a loss, knelt on the ground and shouted.

"Captain, General Chen is a first-time offender after all, please bypass him." A warrior who was more than seven feet tall stood up, knelt on the ground in front of Jia Long, and pleaded.

"Those who disturb the hearts of the army will die!" Jia Long showed no room for mercy, although some people pleaded, Jia Long didn't really want to kill, but unfortunately, someone had to die, otherwise how could he stabilize the crumbling military heart?

"Taiwei, since the uprising of the Dajin Dynasty, General Chen has repeatedly made military exploits and laid a lot of territory for my Dajin Dynasty. At the lower left of Jia Long, a young general who looked very handsome stood up and said to Jia Long.

"Huh?" Jia Long was stunned, looked at the general who spoke, and couldn't help asking, "General Zhou, do you also think that you shouldn't be killed?" ”

How can a warrior cause Jia Long to change color? Could it be that this person has any great skills? In fact, this talking general, is really not an ordinary person, although young, but in the Yellow Turban Army is very status, very respected, originally when Zhang Bao was in charge, Zhou General and Jia Long controlled the entire Yangzhou, if it were not for Zhang Jiao's holy decree, the army was actually in the hands of Zhou generals.

"General Chen has meritorious service to my Dajin Dynasty!" The general surnamed Zhou didn't say anything, just said something lightly to Jia Long, and then glanced at the general surnamed Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at him gratefully, and nodded.

Before the general surnamed Zhou was put into the Yellow Turban Army, he was a water thief, and his water kung fu was very strong, and the water thieves led by him were very famous in the major lakes in Jiangdong, and all of them were invested in the Yellow Turban Army, or Zhang Bao personally went to recruit them, after entering the Yellow Turban Army, the Zhou generals relied on their own bravery, and their status in the army continued to rise, and even became Zhang Bao's deputy general for a period of time, and actually controlled the soldiers and horses of the entire Yangzhou.

As soon as the general surnamed Zhou spoke, most of the generals couldn't help but stand up and plead, it seems that the general surnamed Chen, the popularity in the army is still good, seeing such a scene, Jia Long was entangled, killing the general surnamed Chen, although it was a temporary idea, but it was also to stabilize the army's heart, but the general surnamed Zhou moved his feet sideways, and suddenly disrupted Jia Long's abacus, in order not to cause a mutiny, Jia Long could only reluctantly agree to the generals' request, the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime cannot be escaped, and finally the general surnamed Chen fell into a punishment of responsibility, which is depressed enough.
