Chapter 359: Killing the Thief
As for the details of the Hedong war, Zhang Chong naturally could not know it from the military newspaper.
But no matter how history changes, Zhang Chong has never ignored Dong Zhuoqi, knowing that no matter where this person is, he will roll up a thousand feet of huge waves and shock everyone.
And now, this person has joined the Kwanti Army with the Hedong Army. No matter what his reason is, he can know that the current war between the two capitals is still fighting.
There was the Hedong Army threatening the north of Luoyang, and Luoyang did not dare to attack Hangu Pass in front with all its might.
After this judgment, Zhang Chong was even more determined to take action this time. This time, he not only has to break the siege of Handan, but also take down the giant deer. Now that the confrontation between the East and the West is intensifying, it is time for him to step up the integration of Hebei forces.
With this in mind, Zhang Chong called the generals and made the following arrangements for the offensive on the second day.
The next day, the drums beat 300 times.
This was the first all-out attack after the main force of the Taishan army went north to Handan. As soon as the battle began, the Taishan army launched a full-line attack on the ten-mile sandwich road built by the Julu army.
Handan City was built with the main structure of Handan, the capital city of Zhao in those years, and the city was composed of two parts: Miyagi and Guocheng. Miyagi is formed by three small square cities in the shape of a character, and Guocheng is six miles long from east to west and ten miles wide from north to south.
The four major camps before the Julu Army were divided into four gates in Handan, and its sandwich road was naturally built around these four camps, with a circumference of thirty miles.
Such a long sandwich road is naturally not something that the Julu Army can build in such a short time, but they don't need to build such a long one, as long as they build three or four miles on each side as a military station, and then the military stations are directly connected by a horse rejection trench.
But even so, this sandwich road is ten miles long.
Once Zhang Chong decided to launch a general attack, it was naturally a thunderous blow.
He took Yu Ban as the former army commander, and was responsible for the siege of the Taishan army on all sides, and then appointed Cai Qu as the chief general in the east, Chen Huan as the chief general in the south, Zhang Da as the main general in the north, and Xu Zhong as the chief general in the west, each leading two battalions of 1,000 soldiers.
As the crown of the whole army, once the Central Protector Army fights, it is naturally not something that the Julu Army can match.
The Julu Army is also a strong force of the Hebei Han Army, and its officers and soldiers have generally accumulated rich experience in the battle with the Hebei Yellow Turban.
But again, no matter how much low-level experience is accumulated, it is still vulnerable in front of real masters. After only three moments of fierce fighting, there was a loud shout from the camp west of the Julu Army.
"The enemy general Guo Xun was killed by my Han Hao!"
Sure enough, as soon as these words fell, the military flag of the Julu Army floating on the road to the west was cut and fell.
When Xu Zhong, who was in charge of the command outside Yongdao at that time, heard this, he was half happy and half envious:
"This Han Hao is really lucky, it's not that I can't be a general, how can I make this kid beautiful."
Han Hao was a member of Xu Zhong's subordinate Qu General, who turned out to be a local hero recruited by the Han army in Hanoi.
Later, after the Han army in Henan sued for peace with the Taishan army and gave up everything in Hanoi, these Han troops went south in embarrassment.
At that time, Han Hao was the commander of hundreds of people, and as soon as the Han army left, what could they do? I can only surrender.
As a result, Hanoi heroes Han Hao, Yang Chou, and Hao Meng all led their troops to surrender.
After these three people studied in the military academy, they were sent to the Zhonghu Army as team generals.
However, this Han Hao is indeed extraordinary, when Yang Chou and Hao Meng are still in the team and will continue to spin, Han Hao has taken the lead in accumulating merit to become a general.
And this time, he was the first to capture the flag in front of the general who rushed to the sky, and it can be said that he has a bright future.
Sure enough, when Han Hao killed Guo Xun of the Han army, he was surrounded by three battalions of assault cavalry not far away, and Zhang Chong obviously noticed the progress here.
So Zhang Chong asked Dong Zhao on the side curiously:
"Who's that, a good man."
Dong Zhao is now the commander of the internal battalion of the Flying Military Academy, commanding the internal affairs flying army of 500 people, so he is naturally clear about the details of the army.
So he got the news of this person from the report of the First Flying Army, and turned to Zhang Chong:
"Qu Shuai, this person is Han Hao, the former general of the front of the left lieutenant department of the Central Guard Army,
He led a thousand men to join the army after the battle of Chaoge."
Zhang Chong bowed his head, saying that he had a little impression of this Han Hao, as if he was a general under Cao Cao in history, and it was not clear what the specifics were.
But these are all in the past, and the way out depends on the person's present.
After keeping Han Hao in mind, Zhang Chong continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.
With the fall of the Taishan army in the west, the other Taishan generals obviously accelerated the pace of the attack, and it was obvious that Han Hao's slashing and capturing the flag stimulated the main attackers of other roads.
Not long after, the Taishan army passed on the good news again:
"The Eastern Road general Cai Qu's subordinate general Zhang Min first ascended and killed the Han general Wei Liang."
This time, there is no need for Dong Zhao to introduce, Zhang Chong knows Zhang Min. This person was the Yellow Turban General who killed Cao Cao's father in history, and in this life he joined the army when he led the Taishan Army to Wugudi.
At that time, Zhang Chong also recorded the name of this person in his "Dian General Record", which specifically recorded some military officials who he felt had a future in the future.
Most of them are military officials who have made a mark in history, or who have mastered martial arts at a young age.
Zhang Min has always been the confidant of Wang Han of Heji, and when Zhang Min was transferred to the Central Protector Army by the Central Protector Army, Wang Han was still unwilling to let go of his life or death.
But later knowing that this was what Qu Shuai meant, Wang Han didn't dare to shout more.
This time, Zhang Chong remembered it again when he heard Zhang Min's name.
After Zhang Chong realized that there was gradually a crooked wind in the Heji base area, he successively transferred out the generals of Heji.
Originally, the four generals of Heji were Xi Shen, Wang Han, Heifu, and Ma Wu. Now Xi Shen has been transferred to the Flying Leopard Army as the military master, and Ma Wu has been transferred to the Tiande Army as the military master.
The four generals were left with Heifu and Wang Han. Although these two generals were not transferred, their heavy generals such as Guo Yu and Zhang Min were all transferred, and the establishment was assigned to the Central Protector Army.
Is there any dissatisfaction in the Heji area with this operation? There must be.
But now that everything is going well with the Taishan army, and his authority and prestige are becoming more and more powerful, these transfers are very smooth.
And Zhang Chong also scattered the mountains that loomed in one place.
Returning to Zhang Min in front of him to capture the flag, Zhang Chong had a different meaning.
He said to Li Huan in the comptroller's office next to him:
"Give credit to Han Hao, Zhang Min, etc., who ascended first."
Li Huan then wrote two works on Yima and wrote them with a pen.
This Li Huan defected to the Taishan army after the Taishan army took root in the land of Wei and Zhao. It turned out that this person was a member of the Li clan in the northern part of Zhao Di.
It's just that this Li Huan is just a side line in the clan, and he is not studious, and he relies on his own firewood market to learn the art of occupying the phase. Later, he studied under the Cui family of Qinghe Kingdom.
It's just that similar to Duman's experience, Li Huan did not have any opportunity to be an official after receiving school, and could only return to his hometown to cultivate the land for a living.
After the Taishan army defeated Handan, this person took a few classmates to the south on foot to join the Taishan army.
At that time, it was Zhang Dan who was stationed in Handan.
Li Huan is also lucky, when he appeared in Zhang Dan when he was dusty, full of mud and sand, and even the straw sandals on his feet were torn, he said that he was a scholar and wanted to join the army.
Zhang Dan immediately liked the simplicity of this person, so he recommended it to Zhang Chong.
At that time, Zhang Chong had a passage to teach Li Huan, and Zhang Chong asked at that time:
"Where are you?"
Li Huan replied:
"The servant is Zhao Guoping, who is a thorny man, and he is cultivating and reading in the wild."
Zhang Chong asked directly:
"Do you know me?"
Li Huan bowed down:
"The great general's holy virtue is bestowed, Ze is in all directions, the dragon walks and the tiger walks, how can the servant not know?"
Zhang Chong now believes that this person is a scholar.
If you don't read some books, you can't say such things.
So Zhang Chong taught Li Huan's talent and knowledge:
"Since you are a scholar and a doer, what are you good at?"
Li Huan knew that this answer was very important, and he would do it well
The manuscript says:
"The servant is stupid and dark, he rarely learns the scriptures and history, and he forgets the years of waste, and he is still six out of ten."
Zhang Chong bowed his head, and asked a few related ones at random, looking at his level, seeing that he said it well, he felt that he could be a scribe.
At that time, there happened to be a handwritten book to write, so Zhang Chong asked Li Huan to try it, he dictated, and Li Huan made the pen.
After Zhang Chong finished speaking, Li Huan also wrote a handwritten letter.
After Zhang Chong read it, he felt very satisfied, the style of writing was simple, the expression was clear, and there was no flowery rhetoric, but this was what he wanted.
So, Zhang Chong asked Li Huan to be the scribe next to him, of course, Li Huan was not the only scribe next to Zhang Chong.
In fact, as the Taishan army really took root between Wei and Zhao, no one in the north could ignore this new force entrenched in the great river.
Although the policies of the Taishan Army were bad for the powerful, they were very attractive to the middle and lower classes.
At the bottom, there are bloody rangers who are powerful, and they have left their hometowns to go to Yecheng. And some of the shabby scholars also joined the Taishan army on foot or on mules and donkeys for the sake of their ambitions.
For these people, they have knowledge but no power, ambition and no opportunity. In the original world, they could only die of old age in the mountains and wilderness, or die tragically in the fire. But the appearance of the Taishan Army allowed them to see a new path.
As for what Taishan army collects the land? The more than ten acres of thin fields in the mountains were directly given to the Taishan army.
In fact, after 200 years of peaceful development of the Han Dynasty, it is not difficult to read and write the Bible, and there are many poor scholars in the world, who have learned a lesson or two from their lonely parents.
It is not difficult to pass on knowledge, but it is difficult to be an official.
At this time, the scriptures were not a scholarly scripture, but an internal selection of the family itself. These wild fox Zen who have read and read the scriptures are no matter how good their knowledge is, it is impossible to become officials.
And the appearance of the Taishan Army just positioned them as poor scholars. Taishanjun couldn't attract those scholars from the family, but it just happened to hit the hearts of poor scholars.
These people have nothing but some insight and knowledge in their brains. I still care if your Taishan army is strong and strong, and the fields are ?..
Take it, take it all, just give me a chance.
Therefore, in a short period of time, Zhang Chong's shogunate absorbed more than ten good scribes and staff such as Li Rong, Huang Quan, Guo Tao, Wu Rui, Zhang Yun, and Feng Xi, which greatly enriched his shogunate.
And this Li Huan is just one of them.
Li Huan leaned on his horse, and before the ink was dry, there were two people carrying the military newspaper and distributing it to the east and west battalions.
The two flags were held high in one hand, and the war horses were controlled in the other, and the army shouted:
"The song general Han Hao will capture the flag and have meritorious, and he will be remembered as a second class."
"The subordinate general Zhang Min has made meritorious contributions to capturing the flag, and he is specially remembered as the second class."
As this sound of singing spread throughout the military formations along the road, the military formations shouted and cheered.
And Han Hao and Zhang Min, who had just withdrawn on both sides, received their own military merits before they rested, and then they trembled when they heard the army shouting.
The two had only one thought:
"The eldest husband should fight such a battle, with someone like Qu Shuai."
This is the role of timely meritorious service.
In Zhang Chong's way of employing people, there is a six-character mantra:
"The punishment must be exhausted, and the reward must be swift."
He told everyone in the army with his practical actions.
As long as you have made meritorious service, the army will repay you for meritorious service. No one can rob it, no one dares to press it.
In the final analysis, military discipline is dead and dogmatic. If you want to continue to implement military discipline, you must rely on Zhang Chong to practice and speak with practical actions.
And as the commander of the whole army, he can do one thing more effectively than 10,000 below, and of course the reverse is also true.
In this era when we can only pay attention to the rule of man, Zhang Chong's own words and deeds have never been his own, but the whole army.
The action of motivating the former military officers on the spot really caused a chain reaction.
With Xu Zhongbu in the west and Cai Qubu in the east falling into the wall successively, Chen Huan in the south and Zhang Da in the north were under great pressure.
They stepped up the speed of attacking the wall, but the south and north of the Julu Army were the main attack directions of the siege of Handan, and their main generals Zhao Fu and Cheng Jian were all brave for a while.
That Zhao Fu had an elite halberd in his hand, and he was condescending on the road, and Zhang Dabu attacked several times, but was repelled by his troops.
And Cheng Lian's department is also extraordinary, there is a 600-person bow and crossbow team, lined up on the road, and the arrows are like locusts. Fortunately, it was Chen Huan, a few bow and crossbow generals of the Taishan Army, who attacked this side, so he did not lose many troops.
Time passed minute by minute, and the Taishan army had already changed two rounds of soldiers, but the northwest two-sided road was still in the hands of the Julu Han army.
At this moment, from the middle wall of the road, a man with a Han flag came out, and ran all the way along the outside of the barrier and shouted:
"It's too orderly. Those who kill the enemy will be given 100 acres of land by the sergeant, 100 hectares by the corporal, and the head of the Qianren will be appointed as an official with merit, and he will be exempted from accompanying the army, and 100 acres of land will be awarded."
Xu was inspired by Zhang Chong's actions before the battle, and Julu Taishou Guo Dian also began to excite himself, and the conditions were so tempting.
Sure enough, as the Chinese army began to march in front of the road, the morale of the Han army on the north and south walls was greatly encouraged.
In particular, Cheng Jian had received an arrow because he had been guarding the front line of the road, and at this time he beat the drum with one hand and shouted:
"Kill the thief! Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"
In this situation, how can they be heroic.
And under Cheng Lian's example, all the sergeants under his command also shouted:
"Kill the thief!"
The sound of the giant deer army in the nearby road brought the soldiers of the Julu Army to the road, and they also chanted:
"Kill the thief!"
So, the army drummed in the sky, and the Han army shouted to kill the thief, which reached Zhang Chong's ears in the distance.
Zhang Chong leaned on his horse and looked at the Han army in front of him, and sighed:
"In the two hundred years of the Han family, there are still a few people who die in righteousness."
But he then ordered:
"But that's it, so that Chen Huanbu will break the wall in half an hour! Let them know who the thief is!"
"Whoa!"
