Chapter Seventy-One: The Weakest?
"I'm afraid this incident is really caused by myself."
After thinking about it carefully, Wei Tao still found that it was probably really his own sake.
"All the reasons are because the Yellow Turban Army is rioting in Luoyang, and there will be this riot, but because the Yellow Turban Army's arrangement in Luoyang has not been completely destroyed."
In fact, if it were like history, there would not be such a thing.
Because at that time, Tang Zhou had already learned about Ma Yuanyi's arrangements in Luoyang, although Ma Yuanyi also did not open his mouth to join the imperial court, but Tang Zhou was able to remove all the arrangements of the yellow scarf in Luoyang.
But now it is different, Tang Zhou was captured by Wei Tao just after he arrived in Luoyang, and then took refuge in the imperial court.
Even if Tang Zhouzai was Zhang Jiao's confidant, when he had never done this, it was still impossible to have a comprehensive understanding of the layout of the yellow scarf in Luoyang.
Coupled with Tang Zhou's earnestness, it was natural that after capturing all the known Yellow Turban Cultists, he reported that all the Yellow Turbans had been captured.
As a result, He Jin relaxed his mind and let this riot happen in Luoyang.
Of course, this riot happened at this time, and I am afraid that there may not be no factors such as Zhang Jiao's defeat and Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's beheading.
It's just that after the previous blow, the Yellow Turban Army has already weakened, and even if it is resurrected, it will not be as powerful as before.
"Fortunately, the result is also good, the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, I didn't expect that I could be among them."
The official position of the school captain does not seem to be big, but it is also a school captain, and the school captain in Luoyang is much higher than the local generals.
What's more, the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, it is very obvious, this is the military power that Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty is preparing to pinch in his own hands while strengthening the defense of Luoyang, and he will naturally get Liu Hong's attention, although he is only a captain, but his power is very great.
It's just that at this time, Wei Tao only got an empty shelf in his hands, and at most, the private soldiers he led could join it.
After several major battles, there were actually only more than 30 private soldiers left in Wei Tao's hands.
"Recruitment......"
Wei Tao tapped lightly on the table, recruiting soldiers is a top priority, but compared to others, Wei Tao wants to recruit soldiers but it is not easy to do.
The others are all very deep-rooted, and it is naturally not difficult to recruit soldiers.
However, it may be difficult to recruit excellent soldiers by recruiting troops by yourself, not to mention what talents can be used to assist you, and the foundation is not thick!
Now Wei Tao's official position is actually only a few points inferior to Cao Cao, and Wei Tao naturally can't live in Cao's house anymore, but buys another mansion in Luoyang.
After thinking about it for a while, Wei Tao just found Zhang Liao.
"Wen Yuan, Your Majesty has granted me the position of Captain Zuo of Xiyuan, and you and Dian Wei should be my lieutenants. But now you know the situation. Your Majesty must be concerned about this matter, and I must recruit into an army as quickly as possible, but I don't know what you want? ”
"General Ziyu, there are a lot of people around Luoyang, but it is not easy to recruit the best of them with our strength."
Now Wei Tao is already a lieutenant, and he is talking about official business, so Zhang Liao consciously added the word 'general' to his title.
"In fact, the best thing is to choose directly among the Yellow Turban captives, among those captives are quite capable, and they have all been on the battlefield, as long as they are strictly controlled by military law, they can be described as first-class soldiers."
"Wen Yuan, you should know that the position of captain of Xiyuan is probably concerned by the princes of the imperial court, don't say that it directly absorbs the Yellow Turban Thief, even if the Yellow Turban Thief is re-transformed into a homeless person, and he is reckless, I am afraid it will be criticized."
Regarding this, Wei Tao can only smile bitterly, although the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan has great powers, but the recruited soldiers are not to mention the others, and the innocence of the net worth is always wanted.
"There are eight captains in Xiyuan, and it may not be appropriate to recruit troops in Luoyang. And the position of captain of Xiyuan has the responsibility of guarding Gyeonggi, if so, it is impossible to really stay away from Luoyang to recruit troops. It's quite difficult. ”
Zhang Liao is also talented, but he is speaking slowly at the moment.
"It's not okay to make a quick move, but if you are like before, you can recruit auxiliaries."
"Auxiliaries?"
Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Wei Tao frowned slightly.
The so-called auxiliaries seem to be close to labor, and all logistical chores are handled by the auxiliaries.
Compared with the regular soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the auxiliary soldiers can almost not be counted in it, Zhang Liao said this, which made Wei Tao can't help frowning.
"Isn't that going to be caused by the armies?"
"Otherwise, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, if it is an auxiliary army, it is naturally in charge of logistics, not to mention that the auxiliary soldiers are just an expedient measure, and what they really do is to choose the best from them and enrich the regular army, so that they can barely become an army within a few months."
Wei Tao didn't know what to say for a while.
It is true that what Zhang Liao said is indeed somewhat feasible, but how much of it is feasible, Wei Tao just doesn't know.
Wei Tao was a little worried, if he really lined up his own army to the logistics department, then it would be extremely bad.
Logistics may be extremely important for other armies, but in this Luoyang, it really doesn't matter much, it's just a miscellaneous official.
If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu themselves were already fighting, how could Wei Tao think about it so much?
At the same time, the captain of the West Garden, among them, I am afraid that there will be a competition!
"What Wen Yuan said is okay, after all, he is innocent, and he is in the prime of life, and he is probably not a little difficult. However, Wen Yuan can do it first. ”
With Wei Tao's appointment, Zhang Liao naturally opened the list to recruit soldiers.
In fact, in the past few days, the establishment of the eighth lieutenant of the West Park has already spread throughout Luoyang, and even Chang'an has heard of it.
There are also superior and inferior soldiers, such as the soldiers and horses led by the captain of Xiyuan are almost directly under the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, so this soldiers and horses can be regarded as first-class soldiers and horses.
Under such circumstances, ordinary people will naturally no longer be afraid of this situation, but some people will rush to apply.
Under such circumstances, the quality of this group of soldiers is much better than Wei Tao expected.
But that's just it, because compared to Jian Shuo, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, Wei Tao's strength is undoubtedly the weakest in the hands of the captains.
Each of them relied on their own connections, but they asked for people from various families, or they were directly transferred from the army, but they got the strength of the soldiers, but they were stronger.
Even so, as Zhang Liao said, a few months later, Wei Tao was also organized into an army, with thousands of people, strict discipline, and naturally there was a law between the marches, which was extraordinary at first sight.
Of course, I have to mention that even so, Wei Tao's strength is still not strong among the eight captains, and the other people's teams are not only the same, but also their own quality is much higher.
At this point, Wei Tao can only be secretly helpless in his heart, which is the lack of foundation.
Chen Liuwei's family is wealthy, but the connections are insufficient, if so, it is naturally inferior to several other people.
But after a few months, Wei Tao still felt a burst of joy.
Liu Hong really paid enough attention to the captain of Xiyuan, and more importantly, in order to grasp this army, in addition to sufficient supplies, Liu Hong strictly forbade others to interfere.
In other words, this army, in addition to the orders of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, obeyed Wei Tao's orders.
"Historically, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others fled from Luoyang, and this army was dispersed? My army is like this, could it be that with the wisdom of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, will this army be left out of thin air? ”
Idle, Wei Tao also thought about this, but soon Wei Tao thought that after Dong Zhuo dominated the dynasty, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were able to quickly pull up a team, and I am afraid that there are also reasons why they once mastered this army.
Anyway, Wei Tao will not hand over this thousand-person team at will.
A year passed in the blink of an eye, and from time to time there were good news from places throughout the year, and the Yellow Turban Army was defeated and retreated towards the mountains and forests.
But what worries everyone is that until now, there has been no news of Zhang Jiao's death.
Among the captured Yellow Turban captives, after interrogation, there were many people who swore that they had seen Zhang Jiao.
According to rumors, Zhang Jiao now knows why, although his hair is gray and his old appearance is more visible, his speech and demeanor are very energetic.
And with Zhang Jiao, although the yellow scarves in various places have been defeated again and again, they have never been weak, which is why even Wei Tao was surprised.
If that Zhang Jiao really has such a way, then why did he still die of illness in Guangzong?
Even Wei Tao doubted in his heart, could it be because of how to change history and extend Zhang Jiao's life?
The Yellow Turban Army will not be extinguished for a day, and Liu Hong, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, is difficult to sleep and eat for a day, in fact, this year, Liu Hong has been seriously ill several times, and his face is very pale every day.
Even the arrival of the New Year in the second year of Zhongping was not able to bring Liu Hong the slightest joy, on this festival, the yellow scarf that was originally pacified in Jizhou was a riot, although there was no trace of Zhang Jiao, but everyone can understand that Zhang Jiao must be involved.
Zhang Jiao's big trouble is not eliminated, how can Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling, be at ease?
On this day, Cui Ying, the little yellow door, came to Wei Tao's mansion again to make an edict.
"Your Majesty has an edict saying: It has been a year since the establishment of the captain of the West Garden, and after ten days, it should be a martial arts exercise in front of the emperor, if there are those who are not satisfied, they will be dismissed and investigated, and they will not be tolerated!"
And in such a situation, a decree was promulgated, which surprised many people, but felt that it was reasonable.
The Han Dynasty was so turbulent, so the captain of Xiyuan, who was pinned on by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, should naturally work hard to train elite soldiers.
If not, it is difficult to say what the result will be.
Now is the time for Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty to see the results.
