"Cao and I would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; Messing with the palace ban and mutilating living beings; Wolves are unkind, and sins are accumulated! Today, under the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers were gathered, vowing to sweep away China and kill the murderers. Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger; Support the royal family and save the people. When the text arrives, it can be pursued quickly! ”
Because of this inscription, the sour jujube has become very lively recently, and it is common to see vehicles carrying various materials passing by the wide official road, and it is also common to see a large number of workers and soldiers coming and going.
The people in the thirty-mile area west of Suozao County have been completely emptied, and huge company camps have risen from the ground, although there is not much popularity inside, but just looking at the continuous scale, ordinary people can have an irresistible mind.
It's just that their opponents are obviously not ordinary people, and perhaps in the eyes of their opponents, these endless company camps are just a bluff, and no matter how many there are, the rabble cannot make those warriors who are accustomed to life and death and bloody battles frown. What's more, no matter how you look at the forces gathered by the princes, they can't reach the level of "ants bite elephants to death", and they can't even besiege them.
Not far from the north of the company camp is the Yellow River, which flows eastward. It should be noted that unlike the Yellow River course of the modern Celestial Empire, the Yellow River at this time did not flow eastward when it passed through the Henan of the Sili River, but gradually turned to the north, so in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Suozao County, which was located on the south bank of the Yellow River, reached the north of the Yellow River in the modern Celestial Empire.
The frequent diversions of the Yellow River show that it is general.
As the landlord of Chen Liu, Zhang Miao left Chen Liu's office early and came here, on the one hand, he presided over the construction of the company camp here and the deployment of various military materials, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent Dong Zhuo from suddenly sending troops east out of the revolving gate pass to carry out a surprise attack here. Even if Zhang Miao can't resist, he must pass the news to all the princes, and beware of being broken by Dong Zhuo.
It's just that I don't know if Dong Zhuo looks down on the Kwantung Coalition Army or if Dong Zhuo intends to wipe out the Kwantung Coalition Army, anyway, Zhang Miao, who has been worried all the time, didn't see Dong Zhuo's soldiers until the end, and only arrested some guys who should be spies.
The spies are all spies who are not in the stream, not only the level of the people they contact is not high, but at most they are no more than the level of the captain, that is, the level of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and the task is just to watch the progress of their own camp construction.
Maybe it's planning to catch them all.
Regarding the collected information, Zhang Miao can only make such a judgment. This also made him still worried and reluctant in the days that followed the construction of the camp, but he was also mentally relaxed. If he wasn't afraid that Dong Zhuo would suddenly change his mind or simply set a trap waiting for the Kwantung princes to jump, Zhang Miao might have gone directly back to Chen Liu's Taishou Mansion Gao Wo.
However, it was precisely because he was worried about the safety of the camp that Zhang Miao heard that Cao Cao's army recruitment and training was almost completed, so he directly wrote to ask him to come to Suojube to help him. How to say that compared to him, a person who has little experience in marching and fighting, Cao Cao has been on the battlefield anyway, and he has had a pretty good appearance by the side of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song.
Of course, the most important point is that Cao Cao now has a lot of soldiers and horses, although it is not as good as Zhang Miao, but it is not a small number.
Compared with the situation in history where only 5,000 people could be made up, the current Cao Cao can be called "wealthy". The Xiahou brothers recruited soldiers from Bingzhou to Chenliu at Cao Cao's request, and by the time they arrived at Jiwu, they had gathered more than 3,000 people. Cao Ren and Cao Hong also used the old troops brought back by Cao Ren from Bingzhou, plus Cao Hong's private soldiers and recruited rangers, and also organized a force of more than 3,000 people. In this way, coupled with the soldiers recruited with the funds funded by Wei Zi and his old man, as well as the powerful private soldiers of Yanzhou who admired Cao Cao and defected to him, the number of soldiers and horses under Cao Cao's command has now reached 10,000 and can still be a fraction of them, directly ending the poor scene in history.
Although Cao Cao, the soldiers and horses of Cao Cao, who could casually gather twenty or thirty thousand people, seemed to be insufficient, but there were also few advantages - it was easier to popularize, better equipment was also easier to practice, and it was easier to quickly form basic combat effectiveness.
Wei Zi is very optimistic about Cao Cao's future, so he responds to Cao Cao's needs, and other heroes who joined Cao Cao's army naturally responded positively, coupled with Zhang Miao's bold stroke of the pen and the accumulation of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, although the equipment of Cao Cao's subordinates did not dare to compare with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who were more expensive than Cao Cao. However, the equipment of the troops under the command of Kong Ling and others, who only knew Qing talk, and Sun Jian, who worked in areas where the economy had been greatly affected for many years, was much better, not to mention that the Xiahou brothers and Cao Ren also returned with 2,000 war horses.
Of course, it was originally three thousand horses, but after all, Cao Cao was on Zhang Miao's territory, and Zhang Miao took good care of Cao Cao, if he didn't give anything to show it, it would be a very rude thing, not to mention that Zhang Miao was already drooling.
Another advantage of Cao Cao's army was the suzhì of the troops.
Cao Cao's army was small in number, and the more experienced soldiers accounted for nearly one-third. At the same time, there are also many private soldiers who have participated in the battle against the Yellow Turban Army and have made some achievements, such as the troops led by Li Qian and Li Dian are examples of this. These are invaluable resources.
Breaking up part of the Xiahou brothers and Cao Ren's troops, making them grassroots officers, and guiding the recruits not only allows the recruits to quickly master combat skills and battlefield experience, but also makes it easier to control the entire army.
Although the powerful private troops cannot be completely penetrated, it is still possible to mix a little sand into their ranks, especially if they are still experienced veterans. When Cao Cao wanted to master these troops, he was afraid that those powerful people also hoped that those soldiers could integrate into his own troops. Again, experienced soldiers are a very valuable resource in these years.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao's troops formed combat effectiveness much faster than ordinary princes, although they were still not as good as Yuan Shao, who had obtained a large number of veterans who had returned from the northwest battlefield, and Sun Jian's subordinates, who took the battle as food, but compared to Kong Ling and Zhang Miao, there was still no problem. Even if it is one enemy two or three enemies, it can be defeated in battle.
Of course, the generals under Cao Cao are also very good, which naturally allows the troops to exert higher combat effectiveness. It's just that the Han Dynasty has a vast territory and a prosperous population, so no one can say how many talents are buried in it. If one day, if you accidentally encounter a few meteors, suddenly burning, the small universe becomes a star, it is not uncommon and strange.
With such a force, coupled with the tens of thousands of soldiers under Zhang Miao's own command, Zhang Miao finally felt a lot more relieved, at least he could find time to read books, talk with the children of Chen Liu's family and Shilin Confucian students, and then simply ask Cao Cao to go out hunting activities to exercise his muscles or watch the heavy rugby match between the two armies.
Speaking of which, this highly confrontational sport "invented" by Li Shushi has gradually spread to all directions and become popular after Liu Hong brought it back to the capital for a performance. Especially for those veteran generals who are still quite attached to the battlefield career and young people who are at the peak of hormone secretion, it is a very appetizing activity for them.
For the ancient people who were not rich in entertainment activities, even if two strong men with the upper body or a strong man with the upper body had a philosophical ♂ hand-to-hand fight with the beast, it could arouse the calm and elegant old ministers on weekdays, and the madness of young men and women, so this kind of collision between muscles and muscles, the contest between iron and blood, and the movement with the characteristics of primitive animal impulses naturally attracted many eyeballs once it appeared, and the related industries it drove were naturally very numerous.
Catering, armor, real estate and even gambling...... Even though Liu Hong's interest in it is limited, he is very interested in the benefits of the sport. If there is something good on the top, it will be effective on the bottom, and this advertising effect is just now.
Although Zhang Miao is also a literati, he was also a fat and light-furred ranger when he was young, and even had various incidents with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, otherwise his relationship with Cao Cao would not be so iron. So he also liked this sport that could make him recall the indulgent life of his youth, and laughed at the troubles of himself, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others.
Of course, an important reason why Zhang Miao can often ask Cao Cao out to play with him is that Cao Cao is really free enough now.
Patrolling with troops naturally does not need Cao Cao to do it, the Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others can complete it, and it can also allow those who have never been on the battlefield to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield a little.
So what does Cao Cao need to do?
His mission was to receive the princes who had come to the coalition camp and guide them to their respective camps.
This time, the princes of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others had a total of seventeen town princes, including:
The first town, Jiaoyou Haojun, the hero of the marriage, the later general, Nanyang Taishou (self-collared) Yuan Shuzi Highway.
The second town, through the sons, the Nine Classics, Jizhou Thorn History Han Fu character festival.
The third town, talking about it, knowing the present Bogu, Yuzhou Thorn History Kong Lingzi Gongxu.
The fourth town, filial piety and benevolence, condescending to the soldiers, Yanzhou Thorn History Liu Dai Zi Gongshan.
The fifth town, fighting righteousness and squandering money, spending money like dirt, Hanoi County Taishou (although abolished but still self-proclaimed) Wang Kuang Zi Gong Festival.
The sixth town, the poor and the urgent, the ambition is high, and Chen Liutai guards Zhang Miao's character Meng Zhuo.
The seventh town, benevolent and human, smart and learned, Dongjun is too shou Qiao Mao word Yuanwei.
The eighth town, loyal to Yuan Liang, Xiuqi Wenhua, Shanyang Taishou Yuan's legacy Boye.
The ninth town, resourceful and wise, good at martial arts, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin word Yuncheng.
The tenth town, the sect of saints, hospitality and sage, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong character literary ju.
The eleventh town, the martial arts are outstanding, the prestige is outstanding, and Guangling is too guarded by Zhang Chao's character Meng Gao.
The twelfth town, benevolent gentleman, virtuous and gentle, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian word Gongzu.
The thirteenth town, Hongyi is generous, the majestic posture is outstanding, and Yuyang is too guarded by Liu Bei's word Xuande.
The fourteenth town, the sound is like a giant bell, the abundance is majestic, and the Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zan is the word Bo Jue.
The fifteenth town, improvised, brave in the face of things, Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, Mengde.
The sixteenth town, the hero crowns the world, the brave and brilliant, Wucheng Hou Changsha is too guarded by Sun Jian's character Wentai.
The seventeenth town, the fourth and third dukes, the old officials of the door, the Hou Bohai of Qixiang guarded Yuan Shao's character at the beginning.
There are 30,000 people, there are 120,000 people, and the civil officials and military generals of each road are thrown into the sour dates. It's just that now except for Zhang Miao and Cao Cao, who are in Chenliu, the others have not yet come, so it doesn't hurt for the two of them to be lazy on weekdays.
However, as time goes by, this kind of life that steals half a day is coming to an end.
ps: I forgot the time, and it turned out to be a little late today......
