On the west bank of Yingshui, the last formed army of the Han army also retreated.

Half an hour ago, the rout of Huangfu Song's army swam across Yingshui and threw themselves into Zhu Jun's army. Zhu Jun and other generals finally knew the beginning and end of the Huangfu Song Army.

Huangfu Song doesn't know whether he is alive or dead? The Taishan army on the other side actually came?

After that, more and more rout soldiers arrived, and more details of the battlefield were known to Zhu Jun and others. In the end, the generals discussed it and admitted the battle, and it was impossible for the Han army to fight against the Taiping army in Yingyang.

But as for where to retreat, fierce clashes broke out among the generals, especially the protector Fu Xie, who insisted on getting closer to Zuo Zhonglang's generals. But the rest of the generals disagreed, so to speak, Huang Fu Song's lieutenant Zhao Rong's behavior of abandoning Zhu Jun's army alone had made Sun Jian and other fierce generals full of disbelief in Zuo Zhonglang's generals.

And Zhu Jun didn't want to return to the army, it was a failure. Instead of retreating to the rear to receive the court's appeal, it is better to continue to advance to Runan. There to connect with the local forces and directly attack the rear of the Yellow Turban Army. When the time comes, if you absorb the county soldiers in the Huaisi area, you can still kill them again.

Zhu Jun's decision, the generals did not object, especially Sun Jian knew the Huaisi area very well, and even more supported. As for the protector Fu Xie, he didn't disagree anymore, the boss decided to do so, and he could only obey the order.

In this way, half an hour later, Zhu Jun left the camp without even cleaning the battlefield.

After that, whether it was the Runan Yellow Turban on the west bank or the Yingchuan Yellow Turban on the east bank, everyone reacted. The Han soldiers retreated, leaving behind the burden of the battlefield.

So what are you waiting for? Grab it!

The battlefield baggage and prisoners on the east bank of Yingshui are naturally Yingchuan Yellow Turbans, so there is no doubt about this. But on the west bank of Yingshui, there is a bit of a scramble.

Although the Taishan army swept the Han army in the rear, it was small in number, and on the one hand, it had to continue to pursue the enemy, and most of the baggage was only left in place.

Originally, the Runan Yellow Turban was still faintly competing for the position of Qu Kui, but when He Man came out of Huang Shao, there was no suspense.

Huang Shao already had the last order of Peng Tuo, the commander of the first canal, and Peng Tuo confessed this matter in front of all the soldiers before he died, and it was very difficult to lie. He Yi, who arrived first before, didn't hint at a few soldiers and promised a lot, but in the end, he knew that all the soldiers knew about it, so he gave up.

There are many soldiers who have left evidence, and Huang Shao is nominally the new commander of the Yellow Turban in Runan. And in terms of strength, Huang Shao is not weak, first He Man stood firmly on his side, and then the two found Liu Bi and promised something, and Liu Bi also stood on Huang Shao's side.

It was He Yi and Gong Du who had ideas about Qu Shuai's position, but the two were not in harmony. As for the last strong general Wu Ba, he didn't come back at this time and was still staying on the east coast.

In this way, with the support of the old brothers of the Chinese army left behind by Peng Tuo, and then the position of more than half of the powerful marshals, Huang Shao became the new commander of Runan Qu.

And the first thing he did was to grab the baggage with the Taishan army. Of course, in the eyes of the Runan Yellow Turban, these burdens belong to them.

Millet, money, clothing, money, carts, war horses, the baggage left by the Han army on the battlefield is piled up. In order to sit in a secure position, Huang Shao directly used this way to buy Shixin. But what does this make the Tarzan Army think? ….

In Runan Yellow Turbans, dozens of war horses were snatched, and the conflict between the Taishan Army and the Runan Yellow Turbans broke out. These dozens of war horses were bothered to be collected from the battlefield by a team under Wang Zhang's command, because most of them continued to collect the war horses, and only one team of soldiers was responsible for guarding them.

Then the Runan Yellow Turban rushed up to grab these dozens of war horses, and they wasted their strength to collect them one by one, aren't these ready-made? Seeing the Yellow Turban Army rushing up to grab the horses, the five-member squad of the Taishan Army hurriedly went up to stop it, but they were all beaten.

Especially their captain, he was slapped six times in a row by a rough yellow turban young general opposite. His people scolded while fanning:

"Donkey ball, it's not to see that you are Taishan, so I will directly get you to the ball. This mouth is to make you have a long memory, and you dare to rob us with Ru Nan. It's against the sky!"

this

The chaos attracted Sun Yu, the general of the Taishan army who set up a flag in this vicinity.

Sun Yu took more than a dozen people and was rushing back with a few captured war horses, and then he saw that He Tie, the commander of the army who had left him to guard the horses, was drawn by the Runan Yellow Turban, and the others were still leading their horses.

His anger burned at once, and he ran over, and then with a whip, he knocked the young man of Runan Yellow Turban to the ground.

This whip directly hit the man's skin and flesh, but the Runan Yellow Turban behind him didn't dare to protect him.

In the final analysis, these Runan Yellow Turbans still know that if the Taishan Army did not arrive at the battlefield in time, they might have died in this war. In other words, the Tarzan Army is their savior.

Originally, following this little handsome to grab a horse, that mentality was sneaky, and it was also a fluke. But now that the owner of the family is here, not to say that he will leave immediately, he will also beat up others, which is unreasonable.

The little handsome was disfigured by this whip, and he had to find it again, but looking at the appearance of the companions behind him, he knew in his heart that this could not be done, and finally he said two cruel words and left in embarrassment.

Team general Sun Yu looked at the Runan Yellow Turban in the distance with disdain, spit on the ground with a mouthful of thick phlegm, and then pulled up the beaten Wu Chang He Tie and scolded:

"If you encounter this, fight back, turtle, don't think about being my soldier."

--------------------

On the edge of the battlefield, the original Han army was a bulwark.

The Tarzan army is here now. Constant squads led prisoners into the camp and sent into the newly fenced fence.

Because Zhang Chong decided to stay in Yingyang for a little longer, he wanted to meet with the Yellow Turban Qu Marshals in Yingchuan and Runan to discuss the next strategy together.

Therefore, at this time, many military officials were commanding the followers of the original Han army to follow the strong men and rebuild the damaged barracks. It's not to guard against anyone, but it's always a good idea to be cautious.

At this time, Yan Zhuang, the chief secretary of the army, was following Qu Kui Zhang Chong to inspect the camp.

Yan Zhuang has been a little proud recently, his brother Yan Gang has won many feats in the commando cavalry, and now he has achieved the rank of deputy of Tun, it can be said that their Yan brothers, one is inside, one is outside, and two are blooming.

But he was happy to try again, Yan Zhuang was still doing what he was doing, he knew where his foundation was, and he was meticulously reporting the latest statistics at this time:

"Qu Shuai, aside from the 800 Han cavalry captured in the previous battle, there are now 400 cavalry, 1,400 Han armor soldiers, 600 halberd soldiers, and 12,000 vacancies. In addition, the most important war horses are still being gathered, and there are currently 600 of them in the barn. In addition, there are six camps of the Han army, and three of our army battles, including 6,000 military uniforms, and 100,000 stones of corn left, and countless money and silk." ….

Zhang Chong was walking to a larger fence, which was full of ragged clothes and people of all stripes.

Zhang Chong pointed to Yan Zhuang behind him and said:

"Are these the vacancies of the Han army?"

Yan Zhuang nodded.

Previously, the Han army had 40,000 soldiers, but there were 40,000 followers alone. After several major battles, many people escaped one after another, but in the end, there were 12,000 people captured by the Taishan army, which was a lot.

"How many people are in this column?"

"That's five hundred. There were twenty-four such fences in all, divided into four fields."

Looking at these scrawny men and women, Zhang Chong couldn't bear it, these people were poor people who were forcibly recruited by the Han soldiers, and now they had to be locked up like livestock.

So Zhang Chong said:

"These Dingkou are our greatest treasure in this war, these people generally have hatred for the Han soldiers, and a little propaganda can stand on our side. So, don't slack off on your food. We must settle the hearts of these people as soon as possible."

Yan Zhuang hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Aren't you sending these people back to their hometowns as they used to?"

Obviously, Yan Zhuang didn't want to raise these people, after all, more than 10,000 people eat, and the daily cost of corn is a decimal.

Of course, Zhang Chong understood what Yan Zhuang meant. Previously, all the Han soldiers they captured were sent food and sent back to their hometowns. Because at that time, the army implemented the strategy of elite soldiers, bring

These people can only drag down the mobility of the troops.

But looking at the old and weak men and women in the bar, Zhang Chong sighed and asked rhetorically:

"Do you still think these people have a home?"

Yan Zhuang heard this and fell silent.

They were killed all the way from Fengqiu, and the large and small dock walls in the middle were either broken by the Han soldiers or looted by the Taiping Road, so how could there be any people.

Zhang Chong continued:

"This time we are different, we will stay near Yingchuan for a while, during this time, we can do further investigation of these 12,000 people, to see which of them are craftsmen, which are farmers, and which are skilled people. In short, people are born to come and must have their uses. We're going to use more than 10,000 people."

Yan Zhuang was bitter in his heart, and secretly said that this was not a simple errand, but Qu Kui had made up his mind, and they could only do it with their hearts.

At this time, the Taishan sergeants who came back from the battlefield successively told Zhang Chong about the domineering behavior of the Yellow Turban in Runan, and all the soldiers were resentful, and they were the wolves of Zhongshan and ungrateful.

Zhang Chong listened to these words that were not conducive to unity, but he did not stop them, although there is an old saying that "do not say things that are not conducive to unity." But if you don't do some means, how can people be willing to be united by you. People want to unite you.

--------------

July 24, 6th year of light and the 24th.

On the west bank of Yingshui, the battlefield that was originally full of corpses has been cleaned up one after another, followed by a huge military market, where countless people are trading with each other at this time.

And this is Zhang Chong's suggestion, Zhang Chong wants to exchange the captured baggage with the small marshals of the battalions in Runan.

Two days ago, Zhang Chong met with the divine envoy Ma Yuanyi and Huang Shao of the Runan Yellow Turban. In Ma Yuanyi's big tent, Zhang Chong greeted Ma Yuanyi for his rescue many years ago, and Huang Shao also expressed to Zhang Chong his kindness of saving each other for hundreds of miles, and the atmosphere was still relatively relaxed and warm. ….

No matter how great the damage to Taiping Dao is, everyone in this big tent at this time is the winner of this war.

The main purpose of Zhang Chong's meeting with Ma Yuanyi and Huang Shao this time was to determine their strategic views on the next step.

But this first thing, everyone talked about it.

Whether Ma Yuanyi wanted to continue to lead people north, or attack Luoyang, Kyoto, according to the original plan. After escaping from Luoyang, what he always thought about was to bring people back to Luoyang, slaughter the Manchu Dynasty ministers, and avenge the death of his comrades.

However, Huang Shao of Runan was reluctant to go north. Unlike Qianqu Kui Peng Tuo, Huang Shao and a group of other handsome people generally do not have much sense of identity with Hebei Taiping Road. Because they are all developing in their hometowns, their roots are all left in the local area. The original first-generation Qu Kui can still be connected with each other because of the overall strategy of Taiping Dao, and when Huang Shao arrives, it is inevitable that they will be divided.

Huang Shao ignored Ma Yuanyi's embarrassed expression, and said directly that he would return to Runan with his brothers. The old brothers who were originally left behind were seriously reduced in force under the attack of the Haoqiang army of Yuzhou Muwang Yuntan. Now, Zhu Jun, the general of the Han Right Zhonglang, is still taking the main force of more than 10,000 Han troops south to Runan, if Huang Shao does not bring people back, then the old brothers of Runan will inevitably suffer a fatal blow.

This is unacceptable to Huang Shao. Fighting for the children of his hometown or fighting for Sanzhang who is far away in Hebei, Huang Shao, who was born at the bottom, is very clear.

The huge split between Runan and Yingchuan Yellow Turbans was directly in front of Zhang Chong, and he originally wanted to suggest that the two armies go north with him to attack Aocang. As long as the logistics of Beizhong Lang General Lu Zhi are cut off, the three main forces of the Han army will really be either crippled or dead.

And the current situation was something that Zhang Chong had not expected before the war. But in the end, Zhang Chong still gave the suggestion.

Sure enough, not only Huang Shao shook his head, but even the divine envoy Ma Yuanyi rejected Zhang Chong after thinking about it repeatedly. Ma Yuanyi means that if you have to divide the army. He tended to go to Nanyang, where there were still 100,000 Yellow Turban troops, and Ma Yuanyi now only had more than 10,000 people in his hands, so he was not very relieved. And many handsome people in Nanyang are his old subordinates, as long as he goes to Nanyang, Zhang Mancheng has his own opinions, and he can only be annexed by Ma Yuanyi.

That's right, it's a merger. In Zhang Chong's view, Ma Yuan

The true intention of righteousness is to annex friendly forces and restore strength.

Regarding the next step of the coalition strategy, although everyone did not reach a consensus at the beginning, it was necessary to talk about it a few more times. And now that Yingyang has captured a large amount of corn from the Han army, they can rest and digest the prisoners here while continuing to talk.

In the end, Zhang Chong suggested that such a military market should be built. He just took a fancy to the prisoners of Runan and Yingchuan. Before, he was not very clear about the population quality of Runan and Yingchuan.

But when the main bookkeeper Yan Zhuang handed over a new batch of thin books with detailed investigation of the apprentices to Zhang Chong, Zhang Chong knew how hidden dragons and crouching tigers were in Runan and Yingchuan.

The combined population of Runan and Yingchuan is nearly 3.5 million, and in addition to a large number of well-dressed and powerful, there are more Qiantou. And the general quality of these Qianshou is very good, such as Zhang Chong's more than 10,000 apprentices, and one-tenth of the men know Braille, which is very terrifying. You must know that in the late Qing Dynasty, when the cultural popularization was so high, there was only a literacy rate of less than 20%.

In fact, Zhang Chong did not know the origin of these apprentices. They are not really attached to each other, and how many generations they count up, they are more or less powerful. These people have grown from generation to generation, and the social class has become more and more downward, but the flow from top to bottom has more or less brought down the previous cultural literacy. This has created the terrifying literacy rate in Ying, Ying, and Ru. Moreover, compared with the uselessness of local literacy, the Ruying area has developed commerce and trade, and literacy skills are more practical than those in other regions.

After obtaining this data, Zhang Chong made up his mind to build a military market, and at a great cost, he also wanted to absorb this group of high-quality Qiantou. At this point, he understood why the later generation of Cao Thief said that he would rely on the intelligence of the world, and then chose Yingchuan and Runan. These two places are the real think tanks in the world.
