Chapter 390: Township Army

When the news of the Taishan army sent troops to Guangzong, the military officials in the city were very depressed.

In just half a year, there were two large-scale mutinies in the city of Guangzong, if the first was a spiritual blow to the church, then the last one was a blow to courage.

Except for his descendants, not many people are willing to give their lives to the unreasonable and illegal Left Bearded Zhangba.

And these left-haired Zhangba are naturally clear.

On the day he imprisoned Zhang Bao in the military mutiny, he began to take power. First, Huanglong, who was responsible for resisting the Han army in the north of Anping on the Xiabo front in the north, was transferred back to Guangzong.

Huang Long has a heavy army, and he can naturally threaten the position of Zuo Zhangba. But this person's family members are all in Guangzong, and they don't dare to resist at all. When his handwriting from Guangzong's son and the letter sent by the old servant of his own family were delivered to Huang Long, Huang Long hesitated for a long time and decided to go home.

Huang Long only took three or two personal soldiers to the south of Guangzong, and as soon as he entered the city, he was arrested by Zuo Zhangba without even seeing his family, and then imprisoned in a secret prison. Later, in the early morning of the next day, Huang Long and his own soldiers were escorted to the street corner and hastily beheaded on charges of ineffective soldiers.

Although Huang Long is not a military talent, he is not very brave and good at fighting. But he is an old man in the church, old and serious, belonging to the first batch of people to follow the Taiping Dao, this person was originally Zhang Jiao's descendant, and was later assigned to Zhang Bao to attack Quyang, and in such a short time, he was eliminated by the left bearded Zhangba as a dissident.

As soon as Huang Long died, there were no more veterans on the Xiabo front who could pacify the three armies.

But what's worse is that in order to strengthen the advantages of his own faction in Guangzong City, Zuo Zhangba also withdrew all the troops originally stationed in Linqing to Guangzong.

Linqing was in Qinghe and was the bridgehead of the Yellow Turban Army against the Han army in the direction of Ganling in the Qinghe Kingdom. In this way, the armies in this place were withdrawn, in other words, except for Guangzong, along the way from Linqing to Guangzong, all passes and important places lost their cover, and the defense system completely collapsed.

Perhaps it was the inaction of the Qinghe side for a long time that made Zuo Zhangba underestimate the Han army here. But in fact, as soon as he withdrew the troops of Linqing, the long-dormant Qinghe Han army moved.

As soon as the Qinghe Han army was dispatched this time, it was a shock, as fast as lightning.

The Yellow Turban Army on the front foot retreated from Linqing, and the Han Army on the Qinghe River on the back foot was killed from Ganling. Under the leadership of the commander, the Qinghe Han army marched twenty miles and intercepted the evacuated Yellow Turban Army west of Linqing.

After a great battle, 4,000 of the 30,000 Yellow Turbans were beheaded and 20,000 were captured.

It can be said that the First World War made Hebei all known and judged and his Qinghe Han army.

How did the Han army of Qinghe become reborn?

Originally from last year, with the Yecheng being attacked by the Taishan army. The trial knew that a storm was about to sweep across the river.

Most of his clans in Wei County began to migrate to Qinghe because of the wrong wind direction. And as more and more families came to the west, the whole Qinghe knew the policy of the Taishan Army.

Dividing the fields and households is simply digging their roots, and even Emperor Guangwu didn't dare to do this when he won the world, and you Taishan Army is also worthy?

But people of insight in Qinghe Country know that the soldiers of Qinghe County cannot fight. These people don't want to fight with the powerful Taishan Army, but they are enough to fight with the Yellow Turban Army, and before they see it, they let the sacrificial grandson take the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to penetrate the entire Qinghe country.

Therefore, Liu Yu, the prime minister of Qinghe, was unable to sleep and eat at that time, not only fearing the future, but also unwilling to accept the fall of the Han family, and even more angry about the fall of the well-dressed family. Even in Liu Yu's heart, the last item is more important than the Han family.

Clothing is civilization, and only when these families are there, can civilization continue. Even if the world has changed owners, it is still the same world.

At this time, Cui Yan, the leader of the Qinghe Cui clan, recommended the trial.

Cui Yan has a majestic physique, a handsome appearance, a beautiful beard, and studied under the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, so he is very valued by Liu Yu, who is good at writing.

Seeing that Cui Yan recommended the trial so much, he also summoned this person to enter to oppose him.

The trial immediately offered advice to Liu Yu and put forward a proposal to organize the township army and protect Sangzi.

In his words, the sea thief Zhang Bolu caused trouble in Qingxu, relying on the method of clearing the wilderness, so that Haoqiang's troops built a village and Junhao, strictly guarded the danger, and secretly took the traitor. Only then can it be wiped out by the imperial army in one fell swoop.

And now if Qinghe wants to resist the attack behind the Taishan army, he must also learn this set, and even more thoroughly.

It is not only necessary to build a fortress and a fortress, but also to use local money and grain to train an army belonging to their Qinghe.

At that time, after Liu Yu heard the news, he was quite unimpressed, and he also underestimated the trial.

Why?

Just because of this so-called township army, protecting Sangzi is the edict of Liu Hong to the heroes in Henan before the country. But what was the end result? Anyway, the Taishan army was not suppressed, but the local heroes rose up.

But the last sentence of the trial persuaded him, and he finally said this sentence:

"The home of Haoqiang has its own industry. Instead of migrating in a hurry, he abandoned his fields and was plundered by thieves. Why stick to the township, defend your father and brother with your children, and protect the party with your family's assets? ”

Yes, do these heroes have a choice now? Instead of giving this furniture to the Taishan Army, it is better to use it to train and fight.

As a result, Liu Yu, who had no other choice, could only agree to let the trial preside over the work of organizing and training the township soldiers.

The ability to review and match is very strong, and on the third day of Liu Yu's consent, a very detailed training program was sparsed.

There are three main points, one is that the strong are subsidized, and the heroes build the village Junhao. This is no different from the previous training in Henan. However, in the second article proposed by the trial, it is very different from that of Henan, that is, the trial and allocation proposes to organize and train a regimental training directly under the same as the standing formation, in addition to the township soldiers scattered in various places.

This regiment is directly under the county state, and from the township soldiers trained in each county, the strong, strong and simple ones are selected to join the army. And this new army will also be an important force for the Qinghe State to resist the Yellow Turban Army and the Taishan Army.

In terms of specific military training, the trial decided to follow the elite army policy of the Taishan Army and the Han Army of the North and South. That is to say, to seek its refinement, not to seek more, but to seek help, not to seek quick results. In half a year or a year, we will honestly train a well-trained, well-equipped, and well-disciplined elite armament.

In order to improve the cohesion of the army, the trial and matching directly used the sons and daughters of the powerful as military officials, which is to condense the organizational strength of the army with the blood and family affection of brothers, fathers, sons, uncles and nephews.

After that, Liu Yu reviewed the strategy and recruited thousands of brave people from all over Qinghe to go to Ganling to participate in the training of the new army. At that time, among the 1,000-strong new army, three generals stood out, namely Jiao Touch, Zhao Rong, and Jiang Yiqu, in addition to these three generals, there were also thousands of people who were trained when they were previously judged for Xia Jinling, and they were also three battalions and three generals, namely Xianrong, Zhang Qi, and Xu Xun.

After that, the trial and distribution will take these six battalions and six generals and 2,000 people as the core, and step up the training.

In order to obtain the support of Qinghe's Haoqiang in terms of money and food, the trial and match asked Cui Yan to be a Chinese person to coordinate and contact Haoqiang from all over the country.

With the coordination of Cui Yan, a prominent family from the county, and the external threat of the Yellow Turban and Taishan Army in Hebei, the powerful began to send money and grain to Ganling.

After some people had food, they began to practice diligently, and often went to quell the rebellion and suppress local bandits. These thieves were either the Yellow Turbans, the Han Army, or the landless exiles.

And there is only one way to judge these thieves, and that is to kill them all. According to his people, the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans is the connivance and connivance of these people who should be killed 20 years ago, such as the early eradication of such association bandits, how can there be today?

Therefore, the trial and matching of soldiers to quell the bandits is to kill without mercy.

The ruthlessness and decisiveness shown by the trial in the process of suppressing the bandits also won the recognition of the Qinghe heroes, who all believed that they could defend the land and settle down.

Therefore, it is even more strongly supportive of the trial.

Although Liu Yu, the boss of the trial, was very dissatisfied with the good killing, but at this moment, he still turned a blind eye to the general trend.

With the strong support of the local heroes, the new army in the hands of the trial and distribution was rapidly expanded, and there were already ten battalions of infantry and three battalions of horsemen, totaling 6,500 actual soldiers. The battalion of 500 people in each battalion is named the main general.

At this point, the new army of Qinghe was formed.

Originally, as soon as the new army was formed, the trial wanted to lead the troops out of Qinghe to attack the Yellow Turbans first. But with the news of the war between the two capitals, the heroes knew that for a long time, the imperial court would not care whether Hebei lived or died. In this way, how dare they let the trial go out to fight?

Several times, they all asked to only defend their own county, as long as they blocked the Yellow Turban Army.

The powerful people have control over the money and food of the new army, and even if they have the intention to suppress the thieves, they can only have no choice but to stay in Ganling.

And this stay was left until May of this year, when Zuo Zhangzhang killed Zhang Bao.

When the news of the Eighth Army Mutiny reached the ears of the judge, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity for the new army of Qinghe to come out of the abyss.

He said to Liu Yu:

"The left beard is also eight mediocre talents, and it will not last long if he usurps power and seizes the throne by chance. He is willing to lead the new army of Qinghe out of bounds and eradicate Guangping. ”

Liu Yu asked rhetorically at the time:

"Wouldn't it be good for the thieves to kill each other? And why let the new army be at risk? ”

The judge took a deep breath and tried to advise:

"If there is only a thief in Hebei, it is naturally good for the thief to be in chaos. But on the bank of the Yellow Turban in Hebei is the Taishan Army. Once their yellow turbans have civil strife, they will inevitably lead the Taishan army to the east. The Taishan army is already strong, if you get the manpower and material resources of the Hebei Yellow Turban, how can I refuse? ”

At this moment, Liu Yu was silent, he knew that what the judge said was right.

In this world of great contention, if you don't fight, then the gap between you and the enemy will become wider and wider. When the time comes, even the so-called struggle to resist is a joke.

With Liu Yu's consent, the trial finally began to let go of his hands and feet, preparing to target the chaotic Yellow Turban Army. After that, there was the result that he led 6,500 new troops to run 20 miles and break the Yellow Turban of Linqing.

In this battle, 6,500 people were able to annihilate 30,000 Yellow Turbans in Hebei, and it can be said that the Qinghe New Army tested their training results on the battlefield.

At this moment, Liu Yu didn't say anything more, and began to let the trial match do it.

Because of the recklessness of Zuo Zhangba, the defense line south of Guangzong completely collapsed, so that the trial with 6,500 people all the way to the city of Guangzong.

Zuo Zhangzhang never imagined that the first to kill under Guangzong City was not the Taishan army in the west, but the Qinghe Han army that he had always looked down on.

Since then, Guangzong has been besieged for the third time, the first two times as the main force of the Han army, and this time as a local county soldier. The drama of the changing situation is nothing more than that.

After the trial and deployment of the troops in Guangzong, it was found that Guangzong's defense line was very tight, and from time to time reinforcements from the Yellow Turban Army were seen coming from the east and north.

What worries the judge even more is that it was reported from the detailed sentry that the Taishan army had also gone to war, and at this moment it was blocked by the Yellow Turban Army to the west of Zhangshui.

After repeated deliberations, the trial decided to withdraw troops from the city of Gwangjong and stationed them at the boundary bridge south of Gwangjong. Obviously, it was done with clear water as a line of defense.

Although the trial was retired, it did not let go of Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army.

He ordered his brother Shen Rong to lead three battalions of cavalry to continuously plunder the walled city and supplies near Guangzong, which made Guangzong complain in the city.

And the left bearded shohachi was also frightened.

It's not that he is afraid of the Han army outside, in terms of strength, the opposing army is less than 10,000, and how many Yellow Turban troops are there in the city?

Originally, there were 300,000 followers at the peak of the Yellow Turban Uprising in Hebei. Later, after several major wars, especially after Wei Shu's split and escape, the number of troops once dropped to the current 160,000.

Of these 160,000, about 20,000 were stationed in Quzhou to resist the Taishan army, and 20,000 were stationed in Xiabo in the north to resist the Han alliance between Anping and He. Another 30,000 were placed on the southern front, but they had been annihilated by the rations. Finally, to the east, 10,000 men were stationed at Tobu Castle.

And the remaining 80,000 were guarded inside and outside Guangzong. With so many hedgehogs gathered in Guangzong, it can be said that there are all soldiers with yellow turbans in their eyes.

However, none of these small commanders with troops in their hands were willing to take the initiative to go out of the city or go out to fight in the field. It can be seen how low the morale has been at this time.

On the other hand, Zuo Zhangba also knew that he was unpopular, and he didn't dare to let the soldiers and horses out of the city, for fear that once he was released, he would no longer be able to control it.

But seeing that the Han army was constantly attacking nearby supplies, Zuo Zhangba couldn't ignore it.

Guangzong of Anping State is located in the middle of the Hebei Plain, and it is densely populated. Later, after the Hebei Yellow Turban moved the main road to Guangzong, all the families of the Taoist sect gathered in Guangzong, once more than 100,000, plus the current more than 80,000 Yellow Turban Army, the entire Guangzong is about 180,000 people.

What is the concept of these 180,000 people? At this time, the population of Luoyang City was only about 200,000, and it was still necessary for the world to support grain and millet.

Therefore, when a large number of yellow turban turtles shrank in Guangzong, the amount of grain and straw consumed was simply incalculable. Originally, the grain and millet seized by the Yellow Turban Army from various prefectures and counties in Hebei were transported to Guangzong Reserve, so it was enough for these people to eat.

But as the power of the Yellow Turbans in Hebei became smaller and smaller, this food supply began to be stretched. And now that the Han army has begun to roam all over the city, constantly harassing the only remaining supply routes, the lack in the city is inevitable.

Therefore, Zuo Zhangba knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and decided to lead the main force out of the city and annihilate the hateful Qinghe Han army.

As a fighting general, once he decides to go out, he will be resolute.

The sound of war drums released from the city continued all night, penetrating the clear water outside the city, penetrating the boundary bridge on the clear water, and reaching the boundary bridge camp of the Qinghe New Han Army.

Everyone knows that the thieves are coming.
