"Woohoo, these annoying Yellow Turban Army are really troublesome, although the strength is not very good, but they can't stand up to the crowd. The full-text and ad-free novels are all on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info"
Zhang Fei muttered that he didn't know how many times he had repeated the complaints, but there was no way, he really couldn't do anything in the face of those attacks that were not numerous but extremely frequent, and because they could be mixed with ordinary people.
There was no way, at this time, the area where the three people and the five hundred Spartan reserve regiments they led were walking was the area that Li Shushi and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang had plowed when they went south. This Yellow Turban Army's southward corps not only uprooted many local tycoons, but also deepened the policy of "fighting local tyrants and dividing up land" founded by Li Shushi, more and more people who had lost their land gained valuable arable land, and these people immediately became the most staunch supporters of the Yellow Turban Army.
This kind of family may not be able to follow the Yellow Turban Army to make a revolution together, but it is still possible to provide one or two surplus strong men to join the Yellow Turban Army's troops. The rest became reservists of the Yellow Turbans. Of course, they are the ones who can only do farm work and do not receive military training. However, in order to protect their land, they will fight hard.
As a result, Liu Bei's troops, under the banner of the official army, tragically became the "homecoming group" in the eyes of many people.
And because Li Shushi was baptized by the revolutionary movies of the Celestial Empire, and he also knew the power of the return to his hometown, he scattered many of the eliminated weapons in the form of barter to the people who were transferred to the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, although the strength of a single person is not in the eyes of Zhang Sanye, the accumulated damage is also very considerable.
Of course, what made Liu Bei most helpless was not these attacks, but the lack of rest and supplies for the troops. Because Liu Bei's troops were just some of the villagers he recruited and the athletes under the original Zhang Fei. Although it has been slightly supplemented, it is only five hundred. In peacetime, even some large merchant groups have far more escort force than this number. Therefore, Haoqiang, who kept to himself behind closed doors, regarded them as disguised Yellow Turban soldiers, and the villagers stumbled everywhere because of their official status.
"Hey...... I want Liu Xuande to study under Master Lu, and I am determined to guard one side for the Han Dynasty and benefit the people. But what I have seen and heard in recent days, the people everywhere they have passed have deviated from morality, even if the Han can defeat the Taiping Dao demons, how should they rule the people of the Quartet in the future. ”
Seeing another subordinate who had followed him from Zhuo County die in an abandoned village because the well water in the village was poisonous, Liu Bei's originally proud heart was hit quite severely.
"Eunuchs are rampant, the famous people act for the interests of the family, and most of the officials are the ones who sell their official beards, so they are crazy about collecting money. It's a pity that the Yellow Turban Army is just a group of Taoist priests pretending to be gods, otherwise the Han would have split from the inside by now. ”
Zhang Fei looked a little depressed and cremated the corpses of his comrades who died in battle, collected the ashes, and heard Liu Bei's words. also picked up the conversation with some indignation. But although he was very dissatisfied, the third master knew in his heart that they couldn't change anything.
"Therefore, I, Liu Bei, swear that as long as I can be an official, I will benefit the people. Although I Liu Bei can't change anything, I must at least keep the people under my rule from being harassed and persecuted by those filthy officials. ”
Liu Bei, who was still a little depressed, listened to Zhang Fei's words, looked at the robe around him, and finally recalled his journey from Jizhou to Yuzhou, especially the hateful eyes of the people, and the young Liu Bei seemed to realize something. He spoke of his conviction with the firmest expression and tone, a belief that he never regretted even as he grew older and more mature. Just as his good friend Cao Cao once said in a letter to his son, "Think about what you do now, and have no regrets about the present." ”
"Big brother, you are not the only one who has such thoughts, but also me and the third brother."
Pan Gong, who went to investigate the way forward, was also quite excited when he heard Liu Bei's oath. After this period of observation, he felt more and more that his sworn brother was not simple. Although he doesn't talk much on weekdays, he is an ambitious person, and because of his years of experience in low-level life, he has his own unique insights into the analysis of human nature, even if there are some young people who are young and frivolous, but it cannot be denied that he has great potential. What's more, Pan Gong, who is also from the bottom, has a common language with him.
Therefore, Pan Gong really hopes that he can create an era that belongs to them with this eldest brother, so that these originally inconspicuous little people can also leave their own names on the green history, even if it is an inconspicuous position.
Zhang Fei didn't speak this time, but just gave Liu Bei a look of affirmation and trust, all without saying anything.
"Big brother, according to the information I have discovered, we have now reached the boundary of Yingchuan County, and we only need to walk a short distance west to reach Changshe. It's just that it is said that the city of Changshe has been surrounded by the Yellow Turban Legion, and we are afraid that we will have to find a way. ”
After some emotion, Pan Gong reported the results of his investigation to Liu Bei. Among the three brothers Liu Pan and Zhang, Zhang Fei, who is knowledgeable, I am afraid that Zhang Fei, who has read a lot, should be the first. But in terms of social experience, then Pan Gong is definitely stronger than his two brothers. So the work of finding out intelligence is basically handed over to him, especially in this place where everyone is not familiar with life.
"Anyway, we have to get there quickly, and as for what strategy to use in the future, we don't know anything and can't figure it out. In addition, I tell everyone that you must rest well now, otherwise you will not have the strength to kill the enemy on the battlefield. ”
After a few months of fighting, these people under Liu Bei's command have grown from ordinary people or rangers who are not ordinary but are also rookies on the battlefield to basically qualified soldiers. Even without Liu Bei's instructions, they would consciously seize the time to recover every bit of body and adjust their mood to prevent the negative spirit from crushing themselves.
As for those who died, they had already seen too much, and they were all pressed in their hearts except for a little sadness, because there was no time for you to remember anything on the battlefield, and a person who was accidentally sent to the Hades Hall for tea by a weapon or spell that came out of nowhere. Of course, those officers who are protected by layers still have the conditions to pretend.
"Set off, the target is Changshe City in the fierce battle." Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Bei gave the order to march.
At the same time, another army was also rapidly approaching Changshe City, and it was Cao Cao who was secretly marching all the way to Changshe. Although Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang despised Cao Cao's name, they thought that it was just Wang Yun and his ilk, and they were not to be afraid. But considering that Cao Cao led a large number of cavalry after all, it was still very impactful on the vast plain of Changshe.
Considering the threat posed by Cao Cao's cavalry force, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang even moved the location of their own camp, moving the camp from the original plain to a slightly higher terrain. And what satisfies Zhang Liang the most is that it is a vast swamp except for the two directions of due west and due east. Although the swamp does not have a lot of water, the muddy soil makes it difficult for humans and horses to move here. If you are not careful, you will sink into a thick layer of mud.
At the entrance of the passage on both sides, two camps modeled after Li Shushi's construction were coated with two wooden walls. It can be said that the weeds here are a little too lush, but everything else is perfect. Even those weeds, with the water source of the nearby swamp, Erzhang didn't think that so many Yellow Turban soldiers couldn't put out those flames.
Of course, the two of them obviously didn't know the outcome of the 800-mile company camp set up by someone who participated in this battle in the future, otherwise the two of them would definitely not have the lax love they have now.
However, the consequence of this was that Cao Cao, who had received the news, had to take a detour to avoid the swamps that were more of a headache for the cavalry than the mountains, otherwise they would not be able to attack from behind the Yellow Turbans.
Also not idle are the soldiers in the city of Changshe. Cinnabar? He Huangfu Song had already received the exact news from the Feng Shui priest that tonight was a good day for arson, so the troops that had been ready for a long time were once again up and running, and began to prepare to show his long-hidden fangs.
"Lord, aren't you a little unwilling, those bastards beat us so hard but they didn't do anything."
Looking at Sun Jian, who was sitting alone in the shadows, Zu Mao, who had recovered, looked at Sun Jian's increasingly gloomy back with some worry. Ever since Sun Jian returned from the government office in Changshe City, he has been in that state. Hiding in the shadow of the barrier, he silently wiped the ancient ingot knife in his hand, without saying a word, and did not enter the rice. The whole person gives others a sense of gloom. This made Zu Mao, who had followed Sun Jian very early, very worried. However, what puzzled him was that the rest of the people such as Huang Gai and Cheng Pu didn't care at all.
"Da Rong, although it is right for you to follow the lord at the earliest, but you can't say that you understand the heart of a top general. Although it is true that the lord is a little depressed that he can't avenge his dead brother, but war is like this, how can there be immortals, and I'm afraid it's not that chess piece, I believe that we can't crack those demon laws so easily that night. ”
Huang Gai, who didn't care much about it, was really furious when he was stared at by Zu Mao's resentful eyes, and finally had to explain out loud.
"Yes, that's why the lord is so depressed because he can't wash away his shame on the battlefield."
Cheng Pu on the side did not hesitate to join in the ridicule of his master, because it seemed that this would calm their beating hearts a little.
"Okay, you tiger cubs, as long as you take down those Yellow Turban Army, you will have time to talk to them. What we need to do now is to write our great names into the history of the Han Dynasty, instead of becoming a bunch of garbage buried in the dust of history. ”
"Oh!"
Sun Jian was greeted by a room full of shouts full of fighting spirit.
