Those who observe the distance have the troubles of those who observe the distance, and the short-sighted people also have the distress of the short-sighted.

Liu Pi didn't need to worry about the gains and losses of the strategy of secretly crossing the three levels as Yuan Shao, but he had to be afraid of the fall of the Yangkou Wall in front of him.

With the fall of Yangkou Wall, Yuan Shao's sharp arrows have reached the throat of Taiping Dao, and Taiping Dao's situation is becoming more and more dangerous.

At the same time, Yuan Shao adopted an alternative way of attacking the mountain.

At the same time as Xinbi attacked Yangkoubi, the generals of the various battalions of the Yuan army also launched an attack on the other peaks of the Tongbai Mountains, and their common strategy was to encircle the mountain on three sides, leaving the side leading to the Taiping Peak alone.

When the Yellow Turban Army in the mountain could not withstand the combined suppression of the Yuan army, they could only passively gather towards Taiping Peak.

In this way, with the fall of the outer peaks of Tongbai Mountain, there are more and more remnants of the Yellow Turban at the foot of Taiping Peak, and they are almost overflowing.

Naturally, the reserves of the Yellow Turban Army are depleted faster and faster, first the salt consumption is over, and then the firewood, only corn is still enough.

However, in order to achieve this, Yuan Jun did not pay a heavy price.

When Lieutenant Colonel Huan Dian of his army was crusading against Tongshan, he was ambushed by the people in the mountain and suffered heavy casualties. Although in the end, Huan Dian relied on the numerical advantage to complete the established military strategy, but he was still uneasy with heavy casualties.

He took the initiative to ask for guilt in the military newspaper that sent a letter to Yuan Shao, but who knew that Yuan Shao did not mention the crime in the slightest in his reply to him, but he greatly appreciated Huan Dian's laying of the copper mountain, and even he himself was comforting Huan Dian and telling him not to care.

Yuan Shao said that these deaths were inevitable in war, inevitable in ancient and modern times, and he said that he was a general who could not smell the dead, so he did not need to be upset and sad.

It is said that after Huan Dian received this letter, he couldn't cry, and faced Yuan Shao's direction and shouted for Yuan's death.

Yuan Shao can be seen.

You must know that Huan Dian is not an ordinary person, he is a typical general of the Han family.

His person is Peiguo Longkang, and after the Gong family, his grandfather is Taiwei Huanyan. When he was twelve, both his parents died, and he was raised by his uncle. After that, he served his uncle and mother like a parent, which can be described as pure filial piety.

Later, he was promoted by Wang Ji, the minister of Peiguo, as a lang official. This Wang Ji is none other than the adopted son of the eunuch Wang Fu, who is cruel and tyrannical and murderous. Later, he was killed by the Yang Ball Bat along with his father.

And after Wang Ji died, no one dared to collect the funeral for him, but Huan Dian did it. He directly abandoned the official to bury Wang Ji, and also mourned for him for three years, piled up soil to build a tomb, built an ancestral hall, and left only after fulfilling the rites of the people.

And what is it? This is loyalty.

Such a loyal and filial character is naturally a model of the Han family. Then he was dismissed by Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui and served as the imperial historian. At that time, the Yuan family was at its peak.

As soon as Huan Dian entered Kyoto, he immediately became the core of the Yuan Party, and his people often rode a green horse, and he was honored for not enforcing the law.

After the first noon blood hall, the Yuan family collapsed, and Yuan Shao ran to Runan. Na Huan Dian also lived up to his loyalty, and once again abandoned his official position and came to Runan to follow.

After that, Yuan Shao rose again, worshiped him as a captain, often led the army to conquer, and repeatedly made military exploits.

And now Yuan Shao has tears in his eyes just a few words, which shows that Yuan Shao treats his own people really well. But when Yuan Shao didn't care about the life and death of the soldiers, how could those people below care about military merits?

After that, the captain Sima Lang led the 1,000 Lang party to defeat the Qushan people, burned the mountain city, and captured 3,000 people, at the cost of Sima Lang's troops killed and wounded hundreds, and they could no longer fight, so he asked Yuan Shao for permission to allow him to absorb troops from the Qushan people.

Yuan Shao did not refuse, not only agreed, but also directly increased his number of troops by another five hundred.

Speaking of which, Yuan Shao still feels very sorry for Sima Lang, he knows this young man, and he used to be a good seedling among the boys.

After that, he left the family relationship and participated in the expedition of Huang Fu Song as a knight of Hanoi, and then this person disappeared.

Since then, there has been one less romantic figure in the circle of Kyoto. Not only them, but even the people in their family thought that Sima Lang had died in battle.

But they don't know that although the boy boy of the past has disappeared, there is one more breeder who is buried in the plumpness.

After Sima Lang was captured by the hunters near Yingyang, he has been squeezed for several years.

But Sima Lang is the top of the warrior circle in the end, and his ability and charm are not known to be stronger than those hunters.

Originally, he had been imprisoned, and only the women would secretly hand him some food. But soon Sima Lang's opportunity came, that is, the Central Plains began to be in chaos.

Naturally, the hunt brings a good harvest to the hunters, but it also increases the risk.

During a hunting session, they provoked the people of Yingchuan Taishou Kongling, and so their end came.

After being surrounded and suppressed several times in succession, this hunter team could no longer continue, and it was about to collapse.

At this time, Sima Lang stood up and led the team to win several battles, so everyone returned to their hearts. After that, Sima Lang continued to merge with similar hunter teams, and gradually pulled up his own arms.

Later, when Yuan Shao rose to Runan and sent troops to attack Yingchuan, Sima Lang took his own troops and thousands of people to join the army, and was directly appointed as a captain.

That's why Sima Lang has stayed in this hunter team, he had several chances to escape, but he took a fancy to this armed force.

Intelligent, he understands that with the advent of troubled times, the personality of the family has become a chicken rib, and whoever has a trilogy can have a future.

So, he pulled out a piece of music with his heart, and after throwing Yuan Shao, sure enough, he became a captain. This year, Sima Lang has not yet reached eighteen.

The misery of being oppressed by the hunters in the past relied on his own ability, but it became a gift of fate.

The dialectic between gains and losses can be seen.

However, even if the losses of Yuan's army were not small, by now, all armies had completed their set goal, that is, to besiege most of the Yellow Turbans in the Taiping Mountain area.

So by now, discerning people know that if those Yellow Turban Army don't fight a decisive battle with Yuan Jun, the Yellow Turban Army itself will be chronically committed.

So, Liu Pi and the others had no choice but to fight against the mountain.

……

On September 18, in the morning, at the foot of Taiping Mountain, it was raining lightly.

The sky wasn't very bright, but it was enough for a fight.

On the periphery of Taiping Mountain, the camp of the Yuan army beat the drum 300 times, and the officials of the battalion were excited and clamoured to attack the wall.

At this time, it was raining lightly, the ground was wet, and the barrier was slippery, but it did not affect Yuan Jun's fighting spirit at all.

It can be said that the current Yuan army is in a period of soaring combat power, since Runan advocated the army, Yuan army can be said to fight every three days, five days to fight, either to the battlefield or still on the battlefield bloody fight.

Ordinary people can become elite soldiers in such a high-intensity battle, not to mention that a large number of officials in Cao's army are from Fumin households, these are the veterans of the battlefield back then, and they are even more vigorous after such a cruel elimination.

In fact, what Yuan Shao now adopts is a typical way of building the army by using war to nourish war and training troops by war.

The reason why Yuan Shao was able to practice this cruel training method of war was that there were enough people in Yuzhou, and a large number of Dingkou had been conscripted into the army by their respective counties and counties, so that at the peak, many soldiers in Yuzhou added up to 200,000.

This is what Yuzhou, which has 8 million Dingkou, can do, but after so many years of exile and consumption, no one knows how much the population of Yuzhou is.

After Yuan Shao annexed Yuzhou Qunxiong, his troops once reached 150,000, but Yuan Shao couldn't use and couldn't afford to raise so many soldiers.

So after some reduction, Yuan Shao finally got 50,000 core elite soldiers and 30,000 soldiers from peripheral states and counties, with a total of 80,000 troops.

It can be said that at this time, Yuan Shao was almost the first in Kanto in terms of hard power, and Cao Cao also had to subdue him.

Another reason why Yuan Bing dared to fight was that Yuan Shao organized all his 50,000 elite soldiers into a separate household and was a martial artist.

The military registration in his hand is not the insulting household registration that he later had, but on the contrary, he is the same group as the scholar, with special political and economic privileges.

It is not a simple identity, but is linked to the land system.

As early as the dormant period of Runan, Yuan Shao and his chief strategist Xu You discussed what they would rely on in the future to stand out from the crowd.

Among them, Xu You's analysis was the most enlightening to Yuan Shao.

He first pointed out from a commanding position that in order for any force to survive for a long time, it must have its own ruling class. is like the Taishan Army in the middle of the day, he relies on the Qianshou and Taishan Army.

As for Cao Cao, he also has his own ideas, he is to win over the wisdom of the world, that is, the class of scripture scribes as his ruling class, of which the Qian Peiwu people are the core, and the Qingzhou local scholars and Yingchuan scholars are the two wings.

So what is Yuan Shao's core?

The current Yuan family is thin because of the tragedy of the previous bloody wedding, and the family is no longer able to become the core support of the rule, and half of the Yingchuan scholars have gathered under Cao Cao because of Xun Yu, and they don't care that Yingchuan is now in Yuan Shao's hands.

So, in such a situation, Xu You suggested that Yuan Shao pull up a separate force, that is, the martial arts.

This kind of martial artist is very different from the generals of the past, their profession is martial arts, that is, to make a living from war and take war as a profession.

Xu You is a native of Nanyang, so he has no scruples about the entanglement of interests in these places in Yuzhou, and he can paint wildly.

He said that since a martial artist wants to become a profession, or even a core, he must be given land. This point was learned from the Taishan Army, and the Taishan Army absorbed many people's hearts by giving people a lot, and now Xu You plans to follow suit.

And now Yuzhou also has this condition.

Because of the successive wars, Yuzhou's current registers and fields have been burned, many people have died, and a lot of land has been vacated.

And now it is possible to divide these lands among the warriors and let them occupy the land.

The land is not for these warriors to farm, but for them to set up a manor, and then let the landowners and heads of the manor support them.

According to Xu You's plan, the 50,000 elite warriors in the core of the Yuan family, according to the standard of ten households to raise one soldier, that is, 500,000 households, a full 3 million people.

And with such a huge amount of human resources, the Yuan clan has not yet gathered them, so they promised these elite warriors early on that the population of the Yellow Turban Army this time would be given priority to replenish their estates.

In this way, how can these Yuan Junwu warriors not fight like fire, and their fighting spirit is like iron.
