"Woohoo, finally came out. The full-text and ad-free novels are all on Aishang Novel Network biquge.info speaking of which, it is clear that Henan, Nanyang and Yingchuan are all large counties with a population of more than 500,000 households, why is there no easier road for each other? This won't be able to catch up with the battle of Yingchuan. ”

Cao Cao, who had always maintained a general's demeanor in front of his subordinates, saw that his troops had finally walked out of the mountains and secretly rushed to a village under Dingling County, Yingchuan County, and he couldn't recognize the exit, complaining like a young man next to him who looked very ordinary.

"There's no way around it, isn't it? Even if the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army were stupid, they should know that Changshe, which was so close to Henan, would be very easy if the imperial court wanted to send reinforcements. Presumably, even when they were fighting and sleeping, they must have had one eye on the threat from the north. And we have been walking for so long and not being discovered, doesn't it mean that we have made the right choice, right? Think about the shocked appearance of the Yellow Turban Army when General Cao's divine soldiers descended from the sky. ”

The young man smiled lightly, as if the previous hard trek was just a spring amusement.

"Then borrow Mr. Lou's auspicious words, and Cao will say goodbye to Mr. again, hoping that Mr. can also achieve his wish."

After speaking, Cao Cao bowed his hand slightly like a young man on his horse, then turned his horse's head and returned to the place where his soldiers were resting. The young man surnamed Lou smiled disapprerovingly, turned away, and disappeared from the eyes of the soldiers who had been looking at this side after a while.

"Captain Cao, that ...... That man...... All of a sudden, all of a sudden...... Gone......"

"Don't be so surprised, that Mr. Lou Gui is the beloved disciple of Mr. Xu Shao Xu Zijiang, and it is also a blessing for us to be able to walk with such a person this time. I think we will be blessed by the heavens, and this battle will be won. ”

Although the words of the speaker Cao Cao were not impassioned, the officers and soldiers who listened to them were enthusiastic. After all, even in this naughty era of holy beasts, such wonderful things as immortals are not something that can be seen in leisure. Therefore, at this time, getting the help of the immortals, even if it is just a passing path, is a great honor for the officers and soldiers.

"The military heart is available." Cao Cao, who was still in a slightly impatient mood, suddenly calmed down at this time, perhaps infected by the smiling faces full of confidence around him, Cao Cao felt that he seemed to be able to make contributions with his subordinates this time.

"Alright, rest for another quarter of an hour, and then we'll rush to the Changsha to teach those who have no court a profound lesson."

Cao Cao, who calmed down, immediately exerted his usual level, and both his momentum and orders returned to his usual level. And the rest of the officers and soldiers who saw that their commander had recovered their state also broke out into huge cheers at this time. For ordinary soldiers, they don't think much about victory and defeat, strategy, and they care more about whether they can get out of the battlefield alive and whether their hard work can be duly rewarded. Now Cao Cao's expression makes them feel that their expectations can be realized. This, for a leader before the war, Cao Cao did not bad.

If Cao Cao's side was physically tired, but mentally happy, then the crowd standing outside Anyi, the seat of Hedong County, was a scene of slaughter. And the source of this atmosphere was a burly man and the somewhat emaciated figure across from him, and behind the two of them stood a young man dressed as a literati and another as a martial artist.

"Ding Thorn History, the old man was ordered to go east to Jiguan to fight for thieves, and the defense of this state will be taken over by Ding Thorn Shi, and I think Ding Thorn Shi and the state Thorn History will not look down on me in this area east of the river. By the way, I heard that there is a brave general named Lu Bu in the Yellow Turban Army, and he seems to have the same name as the beloved general under Ding Tingshi, but I don't know if Ding Tingshi can let him come out to meet with us. ”

"Mrs. Dong has been guarding the border for the imperial court for many years, and I have thanked the elders and villagers on behalf of the state, and at the same time, I also wish Mrs. Dong a victory in guarding the flag and raising the prestige of my Han army. As for the Lu Bu mentioned by Dong Taishou, he has now defected from me and joined the state army. Lu Bu Xiao'er was just a horse thief in the border area at the beginning, but he couldn't bear to waste his martial arts in the next place, so he let him atone for his sins under his command. It's a pity that his wolf nature hasn't gone, and he can't stand the rules in the army. Originally, I didn't chase after me in the love that I followed, but I didn't think about it, but I followed the demon road to make trouble, and Mrs. Dong had to work hard to help me clean it up. By the way, Dong Taishou just said that this land east of the river belongs to you Dong Taishou, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, you said yes, Dong Taishou. ”

It turned out that these two people were Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhongying, who was the Taishou of Hedong but had been fighting on the front line of the Xiongnu and Xianbei invasions in Bingzhou, and Ding Yuan and Ding Jianyang, who had been staying in Hedong County, which was subordinate to Sili, and Ding Yuan and Ding Jianyang, who had been fighting in Bingzhou to fight against the Xiongnu and Xianbei invasions.

"Ding Thorn Shi Yan is serious, my family Taishou was originally holding on to the Hu people, and I heard that His Majesty's edict was originally about to leave, but the battle on the front line was unknown, so I didn't dare to move lightly. Originally, it was planned to retire with reinforcements from the imperial court, but there is still no news of Nai to this day. If it weren't for the local people who spontaneously formed a volunteer team to serve the country, I am afraid that even His Majesty's edict would not have been able to be completed. However, I heard that this general Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiao next to you seems to be quite famous in Biansaiwei, and even if I lose my Han land because of the lack of reinforcements, it will be easy for Ding Tingshi to be subdued after he arrives. Moreover, Dong Taishou is the Taishou of Hedong, and he should take the people of Hedong as his children and guard Hedong for the Son of Heaven, but I don't know what Ding Tingshi's opinion is? Could it be that Ding Thorn Shi thinks that this Hedong County should be under the jurisdiction of the Department of Thorn History? ”

After receiving the order, Ding Yuan did not go to the front line to hand over to Dong Zhuo, but went to the place where Dong Zhuo was about to take up his post to recruit troops and win over the children of the state, but did not go north to support. Such behavior caused great indignation among Dong Zhuo's subordinates. And now Li Ru is grasping this point and chasing hard, after all, the place where the two of them are still under the jurisdiction of Captain Sili.

"Dong Taishou deeply admires Liao, and our soldiers will definitely not disappoint Dong Taishou and the soldiers who fought for our Han court and people on the front line. Dong Taishou can do it, and we will naturally not be willing to be left behind. ”

Compared with Li Ru's aggressiveness, although Zhang Liao's answer was full of momentum, it actually admitted that Ding Yuan's actions were unkind. Perhaps for this fierce general who dared to go deep into the grassland at a young age, he still preferred a famous general like Dong Zhuo who had repeatedly made military exploits for the Han Dynasty than a Shangguan like Ding Yuan, who was good at scheming.

Of course, his reaction also made Ding Yuan in front of him frown, as if he was a little dissatisfied and wary of Zhang Liao's admission of his own mistakes so happily, and the heart that was already very jealous of Dong Zhuo jumped even more at this time.

"Hahahaha, okay, you Zhang Wenyuan is a man, I, Dong Zhongying, remember you. Wen You, there is no need to bother with words here, Meng Ke said it well, 'born in sorrow and died in peace', as long as the hearts of the people of Bingzhou do not die, why should we worry about a group of wolves that have already begun to be held? Let's go, I've seen an interesting merger today, and I hope that the other merger that guy said won't disappoint me. I'm really happy today, I'm not alone. Hahahaha......"

With hearty laughter, Dong Zhuo left in stride, and left with a wild laugh without looking back, leaving only Ding Yuan, who was a little pale, and Zhang Liao, who was saluting.

"Wen Yuan, why are you like this, Dong Zhuo is just a horseman, if it weren't for the fact that the imperial court still needed such a knife, where would it be his turn to be rampant here. If you do this to him, you are not afraid that you will be despised by those scholars? ”

Seeing Dong Zhuo go away, Ding Yuan turned around and settled accounts with Zhang Liao. However, considering Zhang Liao's background, Ding Yuan didn't dare to say how ruthless the words were. Moreover, although Ding Yuan was not excellent in marching and fighting, he had quite a set of judgments on the situation in the court.

He knew very well that the Yellow Turban Rebellion exposed a very big flaw to the Han Dynasty, that is, the problem of the military system.

The army of the Great Han can be said to be divided into several parts. One is the border army, which is mainly to guard against the surrounding aliens; the second is the Northern Army, including the newly established Baguan Lieutenant, which is mainly used to defend the Beijing Division; The third is the local army, which is used to garrison the place.

This part of the border army did not dare to act lightly, and there was no interest in it, except for a few careerists or poor-born guys, few ministers would like to go there for promotion.

As for the Central Army, due to the scourge of the party for many years, this place, which was originally one of the most gilded places for the promotion of the scholars, is now withering talents. Taking advantage of this opportunity to open the party ban, the Central Army will inevitably be reorganized after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. But the top of this army must be controlled by the emperor and the powerful warriors, and Ding Yuan didn't plan to join in the excitement.

Then in the end, there is the local army. The system of the local army was originally divided into two parts, one was the thousands of county soldiers under the jurisdiction of each county according to their size, although the number was large but very scattered; The other part is the tens of thousands of combat troops under the command of the chief officer of the various assassin history departments.

And the reason why the Yellow Turban Rebellion was able to cause such a big loss was that the counties were not subordinate to each other and each was the battle leader, and the Yellow Turban Army used superior forces to defeat each of them. The small and scattered county soldiers can't do enough, so what about the soldiers under the assassin's command?

This is to talk about the usefulness of the history of the assassin, the word "thorn" in the history of the assassin is the meaning of checking and asking about things, so the role of the position of the history of the assassin at the beginning of the establishment was to "investigate and govern the situation, whether the dethronement can be deposed, and judge the unjust prison". As for leading troops to fight, it is just a project that has gradually increased later, but fundamentally speaking, the assassin is not the governor, but the president of the provincial procuratorate + the chairman of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Because when the Thorn History was first established, Yulu was only 600 stones, which was far less than the Taishou who was 2,000 stones, but their greatest power was to play beyond the ranks. In other words, the position of Assassin is actually no different from the Jinyi Wei of the Ming Dynasty.

Then, such a position, except for special circumstances, can be said to be mostly led by a group of civil servants who are good at mouth artillery. And these people have some difficulty in exterminating even some of the slightly trickier bandits, let alone such a large-scale rebellion of the Yellow Turbans.

As a result, Ding Yuan sensed that an opportunity had come to make the Department of Thorn History a first-level administrative level of the country.

The new position is like a modern provincial governor who directs the affairs of the whole province, and although he is not specifically in charge of the local government, he can make overall plans. And even if he lacks military ability, he can appoint a general to lead the army, such as Zhang Liao, who he is now cultivating.

So although Zhang Liao's attitude towards Dong Zhuo made him dissatisfied, he was really unwilling to turn his face with him for such a trivial matter. But......

"Ding Tingshi, you are wandering in the territory of the captain of Sili like this, do you think Your Majesty doesn't know? If there are no problems, that's a blessing for you. If there is a city for the Hu people to break through, then what will happen to your assassin history, you don't need to remind the assassin history of you. ”

Just when Ding Yuan YY was in the midst of his brilliant prospects, a soft voice immediately made him fall into an ice cellar.
