Seeing Xu Shu's eagerness, Wang Xu smiled and slowly said the plan in his heart.

"Since you have decided to go to war, of course you have to make a name for yourself! Moreover, being able to contribute his own strength to assist the imperial court in suppressing the Yellow Turbans can also make this war less dangerous to all places. After all, although the Yellow Turban was a peasant uprising, his uprising was doomed to fail from the beginning, especially when the nature gradually changed, and he robbed homes and houses, which was no different from thieves. It is the ordinary people who suffer. ”

"Therefore, together with the Yellow Turbans in February next year, we will first assist Taishou Yuan to pacify the small Yellow Turbans in Shanyang County. This Yuan legacy, the word Boye. It is one of the eighteen princes of the princes in the future, of course, there are only thirteen roads in the official history, but this is not the scope of our consideration now. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu's tone paused, and he recalled the historical classics a little, and then continued: "Yuan Yi is Yuan Shao's brother, and in history Cao Cao once said, 'I grow up and can be diligent scholars, but I am with Yuan Boye'!" It can be seen that this Yuan Yi still has some talent, but it is not a big deal on the big stage of the Three Kingdoms. But it was more than enough to eliminate the small Yellow Turban Army. And the turning point of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Battle of the Long Society, took place in April next year. So before burning down the Changshe, we must rush to Huangfu Song's army! ”

Wang Xu said so much, but Xu Shu said with some interest: "Actually, whether the Yellow Turban Rebellion is the result of us is not the same, I want to know what to do after the Yellow Turban Rebellion?" Did you rely on your military exploits to ask someone to donate some money to the eunuchs, and then give some to the wealthy Emperor Han Ling, and then buy a Taishou or a state assassin or something? ”

"Nope! After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, those 3,000 soldiers who were willing to stay continued to be our family's guards. If you drag your child and mother, and you are an only child or don't want to do it, in addition to the salary and rewards given according to merit, you should pay extra money to dismiss you. Wang Xu quickly shook his head and simply denied Xu Shu's suggestion.

"Huh?"

It seemed that Wang Xu's idea was quite surprised, Xu Shu immediately asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

Wang Xu smiled and tapped the tip of Xu Shu's nose with his finger, and explained earnestly: "You, it's too easy to think. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the eunuchs were in power, and the imperial court still had actual power, so if you don't pay attention to it, it will cause a big disaster! ”

"That's not easy, as long as you please the Spirit Emperor and the eunuchs, isn't it?" Obviously, Xu Shu couldn't understand the key, and she was puzzled at the moment.

"Nope! There are two reasons why this doesn't work. First, if you become a eunuch now, your reputation will be very stinky, which is very detrimental to winning talents in the future. If there is no talent, will I be left alone to fight the world? Second, if you really do this, then you will definitely be very favored by the emperor. And with the favor of Emperor Ling, it is very likely that you will be transferred to the capital to be a big official, and it may not be as you want to be wherever you want, then it will be really bad! Third, the transfer of officials during this period was very frequent, and even if you were to get their favor, it was very likely that you would be transferred around, and in the end there would be nothing. ”

After explaining the three reasons in one breath, Wang Xu thought about it and continued: "Therefore, this is completely worth the loss, and there is no need to gamble on this." The real place to find a place to live should be before and after the princes begging for Dong, and what you get at that time is really yours. ”

"Oh! So that's the case, then why did you disband those three thousand soldiers again? Wouldn't it be good to keep them as future members? ”

Hearing such a childish question, Wang Xu couldn't help but pat Xu Shu's cheek and sneered: "Little fool, what do you have in your head?" These soldiers are now in their twenties and thirties, in the prime of life, and it is normal for you to take them to war. But after training them for several years, and then letting them fight, are you really a machine? It's only 184 A.D., and many of them are starting to get older. Moreover, such a long period of military service will also make them extremely war-weary, who gets a lot of money and does not want to go home to marry a daughter-in-law or reunite with their families? If you force them to stay, it is not the team, but the legendary old and weak soldiers, what is the use of using them? ”

Hearing Wang Xu's explanation, Xu Shu suddenly realized. "Yes! After all, we are recruited soldiers, and we are not recruited like the imperial court. ”

"Who told you that the soldiers of the imperial court were recruited?" Wang Xu squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Shu, and explained helplessly: "In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, it was true that the conscription system was pursued, but by the time of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, normal conscription could no longer meet the needs of guarding the frontier, so Emperor Wen accepted the construction of his subordinate ministers. It was to recruit the resident people of the border counties and merge them with the soldiers of the border counties, so the situation of recruiting soldiers appeared for the first time in the Han Dynasty. ”

"By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, land annexation was becoming more and more strict, a large number of small peasants went bankrupt and went into exile, and it was impossible to determine the household registration at all, and many families of the gate lords had the privilege of being exempted from military service. However, the country had frequent wars and a large demand for soldiers, so of course the conscription system that had been effective in the past could not be carried out normally and could not meet the needs of the war, so the conscription system began to be implemented concurrently. At that time, soldiers, slave soldiers, and ethnic minority soldiers were also widely used. By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the conscription system had become the main way to gather troops, especially in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, and there was no way to achieve a systematic conscription system. Of course, conscription has not been abolished either! ”

Xu Shu, who was speechless by Wang Xu's words, blinked her eyes, but she was not angry. Instead, he smiled in amazement: "Why didn't you see that you had so many things in your head before?" ”

Wang Xu didn't want to pick her up, if he took it, he would definitely be in the trap. Wang Xu knows Xu Shu very well, and he is completely a master who does not suffer losses!

"Don't talk about that. I ask you, do you really plan to go to war with me next year? As he spoke, Wang Xu also refolded the map on the table and put it away.

"Of course! I told you I wouldn't leave you! ”

Wang Xu hesitated for a moment, but still persuaded: "My past and future wives, you will only be 14 years old next year!" Is it a little early to go to war? I think we'll talk about it in a few years! Besides, this Yellow Turban Rebellion is not a big deal, and it is not very dangerous! ”

"No! Don't forget, you and I were born on the same day in this life. Besides, I'm still taller than you, so why don't you want me to go! After speaking, Xu Shu also glared at Wang Xu with great dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "It's not a question of whether it's high or not, I'm also worried about you, and besides, you can't beat me!" ”
