Chapter 494: Discipline

Three days later, there was a dock wall less than ten miles outside Zhu'a City.

At this time, Han Chang was lying leisurely on the hanging tower, watching a group of new soldiers being trained.

In particular, this leisure is even more precious after a bloody battle.

But Han Chang's leisurely is not easy to come by. In the siege three days earlier, they were the first to ascend the city, and they won the first victory.

It's just that the price behind this is heavy.

Before the war, they were full, and in order to ascend first, three people died, and when they were re-inspected after the war, they were left with Wang Jian, Han Chang, and Ma Zhi.

As for the others, they didn't know how they died, but the bodies were found after the war.

After the war, only three people were transferred to a dock wall outside the city, which was used to train new recruits nearby after the fall of the Tarzan army.

The people of Zhu have not had a good time these years. With the battle of the Taishou or Caotou King in the counties of Qingzhou, the transportation from the lower reaches of Jishui to Kyoto has been cut off.

If the luck does not continue, the business road will naturally not work, so the Zhu'a people who rely on this waterway to eat and make a living are more and more sad. In addition, in the past few years, after the Chen clan drove Zhu Aling and secessed it here, in order to expand its power, it was even more exploitative and blood-drawn.

As a result, the originally prosperous Zhu'a declined in this way.

Three days ago, these wandering wanderers heard that the famous Taishan army was coming, and they were all overjoyed. They dragged their families to Zhu'a, saying that they wanted to join the army.

At that time, Guo Shu saw that these crops were starving, and he didn't want to accept them at all, but his deputy generals and Minister Shi were all opposed.

Guo Shu later learned that in the Taishan military system, it was a right thing to accept the lonely and weak exiles, and no one wanted to let the long histories above feel that they were unconventional cold-blooded people.

Therefore, Guo Shu could only accept these people and choose the elite of the army as officials to teach them.

As for the grain and straw consumed in this process, Guo Shu is not worried, the Chen family of Zhu Ah doesn't know how to loot it, and the savings in the city warehouse are piled up. This is one of the few good news for Guo Shu.

After defeating Zhu A, Guo Shu did not relax, and he needed to make an offensive posture against the Jinan gateway to the east, Licheng, so that Cao Cao of Jinan could calm down.

In fact, this is basically the case with Guo Shu's combat mission.

Previously, because the Han army in the southern part of the plain took the initiative to attack the Taishan army defense army in Pingyuanjin, when Zhou Gui led his troops to help, it was only when this time it was a small conflict.

But when he arrived in Pingyuanjin, after seeing the offensive on the opposite side and the banner at the head of the battalion, Zhou Gui judged that the opposite side might launch a big offensive.

So, the follow-up captain Jin Quan came here.

As a middle-level and high-level military official, Jin Quan is very clear about the main strategy of the Taishan Army. Now the Taishan army is in the stage of deep roots, and does not want large-scale wars to occur during this period.

As the Taishan army brought out by Zhang Chong, the order and prohibition are the most important. In other systems, the generals below may go alone for their own interests, but you will not see them in the Tarzan army.

So after passing on the situation to Ding Sheng, who was stationed at the front line in Guangzong, Ding Sheng ordered:

"Hit."

So, on the one hand, Jinquan strengthened the river defense in Pingyuanjin, and on the other hand, Guo Shu took a detour across the river, interspersed all the way to Jishui.

Why?

This was made by Jinquan after analyzing the current situation in Qingzhou.

Today, the three largest princes of Qingzhou are Liu Yan of the Plains, Cao Cao of Jinan, and Sima He of Qi. Among them, the military newspapers in the army have the most information about Cao Cao.

At first, the generals of the Taishan Army did not know why the king valued Cao Cao, the Kwantung general, so much. But after looking at the information about Cao Cao compiled by the Feijun Foreign Army, everyone thought that the king had the right insight.

This Cao Cao really can't be underestimated.

He made many military exploits in the Han Dynasty, in the Kwantung Imperial Court, and in the Battle of Cuihan. Even if there are military exploits, this person is still quite indomitable, and this spirit makes these Taishan generals seem to see a trace of the shadow of the king.

No wonder the king thinks highly of this man.

After Cao Cao arrived in Jinan, he did not expect the Taishan army, as if it was a dragon going to sea.

First of all, it is to punish the strong and strong, gather talents, cooperate with external reinforcement, and rectify intelligence internally. After months of accumulation, it exploded in May, and its appearance caused the Kanto region to turn a blind eye.

Cao Cao left Xun Yu as the long historical food behind, and then personally led an army of 5,000 to attack the Qi State. Sima He of Qi claimed to have 200,000 soldiers, but he was turned into snow under Cao Cao's troops.

In May, Cao Cao fought against Sima and the 34th Campaign, and the campaign was victorious.

His troops swept across the entire Qi country, and the Qi country dock lords who had originally landed in the countryside responded to Cao Cao. Even Sima and his heavy general, Yin Li, surrendered to Cao Cao.

The original Cao Cao only led the land of Jinan and a county, but after that, the Le'an Kingdom in the east was hung because the county chief was empty, and the domestic tycoons invited Cao Cao to join Le'an.

But Cao Cao refused on the grounds that he had not received the edict of the Han family. It's just that he borrowed the way from the lord of the Wuwu wall to destroy the Qi country.

These dock masters of Le'an Country are actually snakes and rats at both ends, repeatedly jumping sideways on both sides of Cao Cao and Sima He. So Cao Cao didn't trust them in the first place.

On the contrary, after borrowing the passage, Cao Cao almost crushed Sima He's forces to powder with the power of a thunderbolt.

After Yin Li surrendered to Cao Cao, Sima He's forces in Qi collapsed. In the end, he could only take a few horsemen to the north from the south.

There, Sima He still had a part of the elite troops.

But unfortunately, this rout was hunted by the mountain liao people lurking among the hills, and Sima and his own head were given to Cao Cao in this way.

Once the state of Qi was pacified, Cao Cao directly inspected 30,000 troops from the surrendered 150,000 Sima and troops, and then returned to Le'an and won the country of Le'an with the power of great victory.

So far, Cao Cao, who had been dormant for half a year, expanded two counties in just one month, won 40,000 victories, and became the largest prince in Qingzhou.

It was also because of the major changes in the pattern of Qingzhou in May that the Han soldiers in Pingyuan County moved their minds.

Among them, the trial was secretly in private contact with Cao Cao's envoys, and their side provoked the Taishan army on the border and provoked a counteroffensive from the opposite side.

When the time comes, Liu Yu, who is unable to resist the Taishan army, will naturally ask Cao Cao, who is strong and strong, to send troops to rescue. And once Cao Cao came with his troops, he would naturally unify his command for the sake of the two defenses.

And the plain of that meeting and its elite soldiers are not Cao Cao's?

These are Cao Cao's thoughts, but it's a pity that Jinquan in Pingyuanjin doesn't know.

His plan was very simple, that is, to use a flank that would return to Jinan to make it dare not send troops north. When the time comes, the Plains Army, which has no reinforcements, will naturally reduce the intensity of the conflict.

And he Jinquan will be able to achieve a situation where he wants to fight without affecting stability.

And the place chosen by Jinquan is Zhu'a.

This city can directly threaten the gateway of Jinan, and it will not directly attack Cao Cao's territory, so it is really suitable.

And the people selected by Jinquan are also good, Guo Shu is indeed an excellent general, and he successfully completed the task when he first took charge.

So far, Jinquan doesn't seem to have done anything wrong, and he has done a good job.

It's just a pity that he couldn't see Cao Cao's deep meaning, which made Guo Shu, who he let go out, became a lonely teacher.

At this moment, Guo Shu did not know the danger he was about to encounter.

……

Han Chang's military exploits came down.

Although Han Chang and the others paid a tragic price, they also gained the first merit that everyone envied.

As one of the four major military feats, Xian Denggong can be said to be the fastest way for countless ordinary soldiers to change their fate.

A soldier from the head of the Qian, who has served for twenty years, cannot change his fate, but as long as you stand first in a battle, as long as you survive, you will be promoted to the rank of military officer.

The change from pawn to official not only means a change in identity, but also a great improvement in battlefield survivability.

As an official, as long as you don't die, you can rise higher and higher with military progress.

Although there will also be a ceiling, it is no different from the previous one.

So that's why the siege is so dangerous, but there are still so many soldiers who have played with their lives to rush up.

And now, it is the harvest time for Shitou Wang Jian, Han Chang, and Ma Zhi.

After the assessment of the Gong Cao officials, Wang Jian, the head of the front team of the Ganling Battalion Zuoqu, was brave and fast, and took the lead in leading the city to leap into the city.

Wang Jian, the chief of the special team, is the general of the front team, Shiwu Han Chang is the left chief of the front team, and Ma Zhi is the head of the right team of the front team. And allow it to rebuild the establishment in Zhua.

As a result, Wang Jian, Han Chang, and Ma Zhi jumped to the third level, which can be described as special.

As for now, the three of them didn't have much to celebrate, and they had to devote all their energy to training the soldiers in front of them.

……

When the first batch of Zhu Azi's disciples who were recruited into the army arrived at the training camp wall.

What they saw was an open barracks that had been converted.

At this time, Han Chang and Ma Zhi were already standing outside the camp wall and waiting.

But what the two of them gave to these Zhu Ah disciples was not any warmth. These Zhu'a people didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, and they were already taken by Han Chang for a run.

At this time, Han Chang put on a military uniform, and led the way with an expressionless face.

For Han Chang, running is already a part of daily life, but for these Zhu A's children, they can't bear it at all.

As they ran, more and more people began to fall behind and vomit on the ridges. They complained to each other about why they came here to join the army.

But Han Chang barely gave these people more thought, and called for them to keep running.

At the end of this path, the broth has already been cooked.

Now, the strength returned to these people again.

By the time everyone arrived at the camp out of breath, everyone was hungry.

Han Chang didn't lie to them, there really is broth here.

Several women in the vicinity were busy with firewood, and the broth stewed on it was full of fragrance.

Seeing that these people were eager to wear it, Han Chang smiled and ordered everyone to eat meat and drink soup.

When everyone gathers around the bonfire and eats big meat. These Zhu Ah disciples, who were still strangers, became acquainted one after another, and in the process, their understanding of Han Chang also changed.

This guy isn't bad.

Of course, many people think that this Taishan army is really generous, and there is meat to eat at the first meal.

How did they know that this pig was bought by Han Yong with his own blood money and nearby farmers.

After a full stomach, these newly-naïve soldiers happily entered the camp under the leadership of Han Chang.

In the process, they even sang a military song with Han Changxue.

One thing to say, the talent of these Zhu Ah disciples in singing is far higher than their military ability.

But they are not to blame, most of them were just hungry outcasts until then.

And so it was, the first day of these new pawns was over.

They were laughing in their sleep, and they felt that they had come to a good place.

……

In the days that followed, I ran over and over again, ate corn one by one, and then went back to the camp to sleep.

Zhu Azi already knew that he had been deceived, but even so, they still fell in love with this place and that Han Chang.

Within the walls of this camp they watched as the soldiers who had finished their training marched eastward under the guidance of the officers.

There, Guo Shu of the Taishan Army was stepping up the construction of Zhu'a's city defense.

These people will be thrown into the walls outside the city as the fulcrum of the Tarzan army's defense on the periphery. Guo Shu is still quite aware of the strength of these new pawns, these people can't expect them to be able to fight in the field, but under the protection of full food and strong walls, it is still no problem to defend.

Guo Shu didn't want to make things so rough, but there was no way, he was very anxious now.

As a front-line general, he has clearly sensed that something is wrong with the atmosphere on the front line.

As Zhang Chong's hometown, the opposite side of the calendar naturally has no shortage of underlying foundations.

In fact, not long after Guo Shu laid down Zhu A, a father who claimed to be Da Sangli came to see Guo Shu secretly, hoping that Guo Shu could return to his hometown.

In the words of those fathers, as the king's hometown, other places have been taken, and there is no reason why they have been left out.

Guo Shu couldn't do this, but let these people go back to do local liaison and report the situation in Jinan to the east.

It was in this chaotic intelligence that Guo Shu discovered that the Dongpingling Tomb in Jinan did not take the west seriously, and was still sending supplies to the plains to the north.

This kind of abnormal behavior made Guo Shu very vigilant.

But there is no way, he can only do what he has done now, which is to absorb the local people's strength as much as possible. As for the higher strategic considerations, he can only report the situation here.

This sense of powerlessness made Guo Shu very anxious.

Guo Shu did this, and Han Chang, one of the training officials, naturally knew it very well.

He was well aware of the above position on these Zhu'a people, but he couldn't change that, because this was war. He knew that these new soldiers who had just eaten for a long time were sent to the front line like this, and whether they survived depended on whether this battle could be fought.

But as Han Chang from among them, he still did his best to help them.

For this reason, Han Chang spent all his bounties and selected ten people from these new pawns as his own.

No matter how much it is, Han Chang can't do it.

The day has finally come.

A warning signal came from the front line, and all the Zhu Ah soldiers who were trained in the rear went to the front line.

It was raining lightly on this day, and Han Chang personally sent his soldiers.

These people also understood that the war was coming, and the optimistic and open-minded Zhu soldiers would no longer sing, and they stood silently outside the camp, looking at Han Chang.

Han Chang would also walk with them, and he would stand in front of the queue with the ten officials he had chosen.

In this way, quietly, as the trainers not far away set off loudly, Han Chang's branch also opened.

At this time, the entire road was a sea of apricots, and as many as 2,000 Zhu soldiers joined the war in order to be fed.

A big war is coming.

After catching up on the way, attach a photo of Tianchi to thank you for your support.
