Wang Xu is sincere in his heart, his only idea now is indeed to break the Yellow Turban with this army, so he is especially eager to get the support of these generals!

The reason why he couldn't sleep that night after accepting the appointment was because he was worried about his young age, lack of seniority, and the special situation of being in a high position after a short time in the army. In particular, it is an army that has changed its commanders several times in succession and has different orders. Therefore, it is even more difficult to successfully get them to obey themselves.

And the battlefield is no better than others, and if you don't get the sincere support of your subordinate generals, no matter what kind of plan you come up with, you will also suffer defeat. That's why he thought of simply calmly leading the army with sincerity, and rallying this army with a common goal and determination to destroy the enemy. Of course, these are not enough, not only to move it, but also to coerce it, so he declared military discipline again, and asked the deputy general, who has been in charge of the army since Lu Zhi started the army, and has a great prestige in the army, to assist in the execution.

At this moment, seeing the strong support of the sect members, he was also relieved in his heart, and immediately smiled and waved his hand, sat back in his place and said, "Everyone sit down!" ”

When the crowd sat down again, Wang Xu also changed the smile just now, and his face gradually became stricter. After glancing around, he spoke: "Everyone, the current situation is very clear to everyone, so I won't say more. The first question now is, what do you think should be done with the more than 10,000 sturdy Yellow Turban soldiers? ”

As soon as the words fell, a general on the left arched his hand and said: "General, the last general believes that at present, the establishment of our army is not neat, and it is best for this batch of yellow turbans to be dispersed to all departments of our army and supplement the establishment of various departments, so as to avoid the yellow turbans from gathering people and change, but also enrich the combat strength of each department!" ”

"Hmm!" Nodding slightly, Wang Xu smiled and agreed: "This is a very good construction, but have you ever thought that if all the yellow turbans are dismantled and incorporated into various departments, it will also make the soldiers have no sense of belonging, and their hearts will inevitably be suspicious, but it will be unfavorable to the morale of the army?" As he spoke, Wang Xu glanced at Gao Shun and Xu Huang again.

The two of them had already heard the conversation between the sect member and Wang Xu in the hall just now, and they already had a heart-to-heart with Wang Xu, so of course they understood the meaning at this moment. After glancing at each other, Gao Shun immediately replied: "General, the last general thinks that it is completely possible to integrate most of its troops into various departments to enrich their combat strength, and at the same time divide one or two separate Yellow Turban troops, which can not only prevent a large number of Yellow Turbans from gathering and causing changes, but also calm their hearts and not be uneasy!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu did not answer in a hurry, and pretended to ponder for a moment before nodding and saying, "Hmm! Not bad idea. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the sect member beside him and Guo Dian who was under him and asked, "I don't know what General Zong and Guo Taishou think?" ”

Facing Wang Xu's words, Guo Dian smiled meaningfully, but he also nodded immediately: "That's very good!" ”

Of course, the sect member who had already discussed with Wang Xu would not refuse, and immediately echoed: "I also think this is better." ”

"Hmm!" nodded, but Wang Xu did not rush to propose who would lead the army, but asked hesitantly: "Then I don't know who the two of you think is better to let lead the Yellow Turban Army?" ”

In fact, Wang Xu went around like this, in fact, to dispel the doubts of the generals, if he directly opened his mouth to appoint. Without understanding him, the generals will more or less think that he is cronyistic and dissatisfied.

However, both the sect member and Guo Dian obviously saw the mystery, but both of them were senior officials who had been in the officialdom for many years, and they both knew in their hearts who was the best to appoint, so of course they knew very well how to deal with this kind of thing. Therefore, the sect member still pretended not to know Wang Xu's intentions, and just said truthfully: "I think Zhang Jing is good, he used to be a high-level Yellow Turban, and it is easy to control the Yellow Turban soldiers." Moreover, it has been a long time to follow General Wang, and his loyalty has also been tested, so it is the most suitable. In addition, in this battle, he made great contributions to the rebellion and the surrender of the Yellow Turban Tribe, and had previously publicly exposed the bad behavior of the Yellow Turban Zhang Lie and others. Therefore, I think it should be promoted, not only to quickly calm down the hearts of the Yellow Turbans, but also to show the kindness of our emperor, and to disintegrate the fighting spirit of other Yellow Turbans! ”

After hearing this, Guo Dian was not ambiguous, and immediately echoed with a smile: "Hmm! General Zong's words are very true, and I also think that it should be so, but in the end, I hope that you will decide, General Wang! ”

Seeing that Guo Dian recognized it and added a sentence to raise his prestige, Wang Xu couldn't help but glance at him gratefully. You must know that nominally he is slightly higher than the rank of the sect member and the taishou, but he, a thief lieutenant general who does not have a direct army, is worse in status than the general who guards the frontier and the taishou who is in charge of the military administration of a county. It's just because it's wartime, so he can lead the army and rank above it.

And now that the attitude of the sect member and Guo Dian is obviously to support himself, Wang Xu is also relieved in his heart, at least the high-level has been united, and there is no need to rack his brains to find a way to deal with it. So he also said with a little ease: "Okay, since General Zong and Guo Taishou have this intention, then let's do it!" Zhang Jing was promoted to military commander, and led the Yellow Turban to 3,000 soldiers. In addition, I myself will personally command three thousand. The rest of the people are divided into different parts, and they must complete the whole reorganization within three days! ”

After giving the order, all the generals in the hall did not dare to slack off, and immediately responded with their hands: "No! ”

Seeing that everyone was receiving orders, Wang Xu opened his mouth again: "Okay! Now that the matter of the Yellow Turban's surrender has been resolved, let's discuss the next battle! Saying that, Wang Xu paused, sorted out his thoughts, and immediately added: "But I want to state one thing first, due to the defeat of Zhang Liang's troops the day before yesterday, General Huangfu and Zhang Jiao's main force fought in the east, echoing our army from afar. So our entire army has an advantage. Therefore, the future strategy will be to focus on stability, slowly advance, and be sure to uproot the yellow scarf. If you have any good plans for this, then bring it up now! ”

But as Wang Xu's voice fell, the hall fell silent, and no one spoke first. Seeing this, the sect member coughed, and then took the lead in breaking the deadlock and said: "General Wang, at present, the remnants of Zhang Liang have retreated to Nanhe and Pingxiang in the central part of Julu County, while we are in Guangnian County in the southwest of Julu County. In the east, Zhang Jiao fought against General Huangfu in the western part of Qinghe Kingdom, and his base camp was Guangzong City, the easternmost part of Julu County. Therefore, according to the following, we can divide a general to go north, take Jize City, and contain the Zhang Liang Department of Nanhe and Pingxiang. Then the main force marched eastward, captured Guangping and Quzhou counties, and went straight to Guangzong. At that time, he will attack the left and right with General Huangfu, and Zhang Jiao will not be able to care about each other. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu immediately buried his head and looked at the map on the table. This is a map of central Jizhou, but unfortunately it is very sketchy.

After watching it for a while, Wang Xu suddenly nodded: "Hmm! General Zong is right, as long as Ji Ze City is taken, Zhang Liang will not dare to go south, and if our main force steadily advances eastward, it will indeed be a fatal threat to Zhang Jiao. But I guess Ji Ze is not easy to take, and the generals stationed here after taking it also need to be cautious. Otherwise, when our army marches eastward, Ji Ze will be lost, and Zhang Liang will go south to cut off the rear road of our army, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

However, as soon as Wang Xu finished speaking, Guo Dian had already said: "General Wang, although I am not talented in the next place, if our army takes Ji Ze, I dare to make a military order to go to the town to guard, and I will never let Zhang Liang take a step forward." ”

As soon as these words came out, the sect member also nodded and said, "Hmm! Mrs. Guo is old and serious, he knows the time and place of this Julu County well, and he has been fighting with the Yellow Turban for several months, and he knows that the enemy and me are the most suitable! ”

But hearing the words of the two, Wang Xu looked at the map in silence. After a long time, he slowly said under the gaze of everyone: "I believe in Guo Taishou's ability, but this place is too important, Taishou is old, and he needs to send a brave general for his dispatch." And maybe the yellow scarf will bypass Jize and go straight to Guangnian County in our rear, and then a big general will need to go back and forth between Jize and Guangnian. ”

I thought that this problem would be difficult to solve, but when Guo Dian heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing. "General Wang should not be worried, if there is such negligence on the part of the subordinates, how can he say that he has made a military order? To tell you the truth, I have two generals under my account, and they can be sent by me to break the enemy. The two of them are fierce and fierce, although they are still inexperienced in strategic battles, but they are rare good generals, and the reason why I was able to fight with the Yellow Turban for months is also thanks to the two of them. ”

"Oh? I don't know who it is? "Wang Xu is really a little strange, is there a strange person under this Guo Dian's account?

"Huh! These two people are right behind me, and General Wang can take a closer look! ”

Hearing Guo Dian's words, Wang Xu's eyes immediately fell behind him. This was a big surprise, because there were more generals, and Wang Xu couldn't remember it all at once, so he didn't look at the young generals standing behind these generals just now. Looking over at this moment, I found that the two behind Guo Dian were really extraordinary. The person on the left is holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with his backhand, handsome and handsome, his eyes are sharp, and in the face of Wang Xu's gaze, he nods very calmly and salutes, very generous. The other person, although he has a rough face, is quite a man and has an outstanding temperament.

These two are obviously different from some other young generals, so Wang Xu immediately couldn't help asking, "I don't know the names of these two people?" ”

Guo Dian saw Wang Xu's surprised face, and couldn't help but smile proudly, before he opened his mouth to introduce: "On the left is Zhang He, the character is handsome. On the right is Gao Lan, the word gimbal. Both of them are from Hejian, and they have been recruited into the army when the Yellow Turban first started, and they have both made great achievements, and they are currently the military Sima under my account. Saying that, Guo Dian couldn't help but praise again: "With these two people, I will be able to keep Ji Ze alive!" ”

Although Wang Xu's face remained unchanged at this moment, his heart was actually beating "bang". Zhang He, Gao Ran! There are two of the four courtyard pillars in Hebei at a time! In particular, Zhang He, in the official history, is one of Cao Cao's later five good generals, brave and good at fighting, brilliant in battle, and one of the few generals that Zhuge Liang is extremely afraid of, but unfortunately because of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu and Cao's thoughts are not known by most people. What a general!

Thinking of these, the records in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms also flashed in his mind. "Zhang He, the word is handsome, and the people of Hejian are also. At the end of the Han Dynasty, he was recruited for the Yellow Turban, and he was the military Sima, and later belonged to Han Fu......"
