Chapter XIV: Reorganization of the Army

This is going to run, when! ”

With a heavy "whirring" gasp, Tian Laoqi was full of resentment and couldn't help complaining.

"Less? Suck...... Lord Thorn Shi, all in front, lead, you, complain about a fart! ”

Tun Chang Zheng Wanyou shouted loudly, but he gasped heavily, and his words were fragmented and had no momentum. provoked a burst of laughter, if it was usual, Zheng Wanyou would have rushed up for a whipped - when he was training, he complained about a fart!

After a moment's work, there was not a single murmur in the procession, only the sound of "stampeding" footsteps and heavy breathing. If you have the strength to complain, it is better to take a breath. To the state soldiers on the side, Zheng Wanyou couldn't help but raise a trace of respect, this running looks simple, but it's really not easy to run. Without paying attention, Zheng Wanyou stepped on a small pit, and his body slanted, and he was about to fall to the ground.

A hand stretched out from the side and helped him strongly, it was a state soldier.

"Thanks, brother."

"It's okay," the state soldier spoke much more fluently, "pay attention to your breathing, take a deep breath, pay attention to the rhythm, and take it slowly." Engaged adults often tell us that if you run well, if you win a battle, you have to catch up with others, and if you lose a battle, you can't catch up with others......"

Zheng Wanyou, who heard this, smiled, "Running as an adult? ”

The state soldier also smiled, "Yes! We are engaged in adults. ”

After Wu Zifang led the state soldiers, he still used weight-bearing running and other methods to train the soldiers' physical fitness according to the training methods learned in ethnology. Speaking of which. There was also marching training, but the soldiers were very dissatisfied with running every day, but Wu Zifang personally led the team, and the soldiers couldn't say anything else, so they gave him a nickname, called "running". In the past three years, Wu Zifang has never deducted his salary. Eating and sleeping with the state soldiers, although the training was strict, they were all the first to complete it by themselves, and the state soldiers unconsciously brought out a trace of pride when they talked about him.

"Keep up! Come on! Watch your breathing! ”

Zhang Han took a deep breath as he ordered, the cool air of the morning lifted his spirits. In a trance, it seems that he has returned to the training of the clan led by the team. Zhang Han, 27 years old this year, has never stopped exercising, and he always carries a weight on his body, which is the best time for his body. Zhang Handing is in armor, fully armed, the upper body is a fine fish scale armor, below the belt and the shawl is still with armor, wearing a pocket on his head, and a four-foot-long ring head knife on his waist, the whole person glows with a vigorous and heroic posture. It's like a long-hidden treasure knife out of its sheath. Of course, Zhang Han's body is one hundred and ten pounds. It is much heavier than the armor that the soldiers only wear on their chests and backs.

The soldiers were uneven, and Zhang Han deliberately reduced the intensity of training. After running for five miles, I returned, and once I came and went, it was only ten miles. Despite this, after the disbandment was announced, many of the county soldiers squatted on the ground and did not move. These soldiers, father and son, have good physical and tactical qualities. Most of them persevered, and Zhang Han was satisfied. These Taishou and state ministers didn't dare to fool him.

The army of the Western Han Dynasty was conscripted, and the soldiers served in the counties. One of the main tasks during the service period is to receive regular military technical and tactical training, and there is also a set of strict assessment systems for the technical and tactical training of various branches of the armed forces. After retiring, he naturally became a reserve. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the system of capital examinations for regular training and regular assessment was abolished. The Eastern Han army was dominated by recruited standing troops, and its number was much smaller than that of the Western Han Dynasty. This greatly reduced the burden on the population, however, once there was a war, the newly recruited young men were completely untrained. In this way, it is very unfavorable to replenish the troops, and Zhang Han's recruitment work is not going smoothly...... can run the whole distance fully armed, and the soldiers of the county who come are undoubtedly regular soldiers.

"Your Excellency!"

Sun Chengliang felt that he was about to die, he had never run such a long way, and he found a stone to sit down, so he just gasped. Finding a pair of leather boots slowly pacing, Sun Chengliang looked up, Lord Shi! Sun Chengliang immediately jumped up and hugged his fist at Zhang Han. Zhang Han accepted the salute and immediately returned the salute.

"You are Sun ......"

"Sun Chengliang, my lord!"

"Okay, Marquis Sun, give the order to go down and order the soldiers to get up and move around, don't stay put, it's not good for your health......"

"Yes!"

"Let's go to dinner with the soldiers! Today's dish is nice. ”

"Yes!"

In fact, the dish is still the tofu that the state soldiers eat daily, that is, the stewed tofu and the sea fish have been replaced with pork. Zhang Han didn't want to give money to the soldiers, it was just a customary thing to give money, and after a long time, the soldiers didn't remember it. And when the time comes, as soon as the soldiers pick up their rice bowls, they will think of the days when they ate meat every day at his place. To put it bluntly, this is the spirit of the army -- when a soldier eats food, someone gives meat to eat every day, and he can remember it for a lifetime.

"There is an order to assassinate Shi, get up and walk around, hurry up and go to eat......"

What kind of order is this, Zhang Han laughed when he heard it, this Sun Chengliang knew that he ordered people to shout orders, but he shouted something messy. In chaos, orders were quickly conveyed and immediately executed.

The night in the barracks was quiet with a bit of solemnity.

All the defense was taken over by the state soldiers, and the non-commissioned officers, who had worked hard all day, had eaten dinner, and fell asleep as soon as they touched their pillows. I'm so tired today. In the morning, the armor and the soldiers ran for a full ten miles, and that's it; He just said that he couldn't do vigorous activity after eating, so he stood in the sun for a morning, and then, forward, backward, left, and right, turned these soldiers dizzyβ€”it was better to go for a run. At the end of this day, everyone realized that Zhang Tingshi and the others looked kind, but they were actually smiling tigers. If he violated the order at all, Mr. Zhang did not beat or curse, but directly ordered the brothers to accompany him to be punished......

The soldiers were asleep, but the generals were not blessed. In the tent, the candles hung high, and the light in the tent was as bright as day. All the generals gathered in the tent, I don't know why, today I saw that Zhang Thorn is powerful, and I don't dare to speak casually, and there is no sound in the military tent.

The maps of the Han Dynasty were inherited from the pre-Qin period and were already very mature. The map in front of Zhang Han is a military map with high accuracy, and on the four-foot square white silk, it depicts the terrain of the western part of Qingzhou in detail and accurately, such as mountains, rivers, settlements, roads, forests and tree species, etc., which are specific and subtle, and clear at a glance.

"Come on, come on," Zhang Han summoned all the generals to the front, pointed to the map, and began to inquire about the situation in front of him, and assumed various situations and asked how to deal with them.

"......, if the Yellow Turban besieges the plains......"

Zhang Han assumed that the Yellow Turbans would attack in March, and he led the Yellow Turban Army to attack again and again, while the generals were on the defensive side. From these answers, Zhang Han not only knew the abilities of each person, but also showed his own military quality. Zhang Han deliberately selected a few capable ones from among them and sent them to the plains to strengthen the defense first. Maybe some people saw Zhang Han's sinister intentions, maybe the people who came were all low-level officers - the highest was only a military marquis, maybe everyone was too tired, and Zhang Han didn't find any talents. The Yellow Turban Army easily conquered Guoxian County, and took advantage of the opportunity to besiege Pingyuan County to besiege the city and send reinforcements, severely damaged the Qingzhou reinforcements who crossed the river, and also captured a number of ships...... Zhang Han was a little disappointed, this kind of command ability was not even as good as his personal guards. This requirement is a bit high, Zhang Han's personal guard has practiced martial arts since childhood, learned the art of war, and has been trained in war games for a long time. And these county generals in the inner counties have commanded a few times to suppress bandits, which is a big operation.

So, Zhang Han changed his position and commanded the Qingzhou Army by himself, and the generals commanded the Yellow Turban

I was engrossed, and the resentment in my heart disappeared - Zhang Tingshi's training method was a little strange, but Zhang Tingshi had real talent and real learning, maybe it was Master Zhang's ancestral stunt...... Seizing this rare opportunity, the generals and officials consulted attentively. Zhang Han didn't hide his personal interests, and explained them one by one. Sooner or later, these people will be useful, and it will certainly be good to give some favor now. Although Zhang Han commanded the Qingzhou Army to cook everyone again, everyone was elated. was grateful, and when everyone looked at Zhang Han, there was a little less fear, but more reverence.

When the yellow scarf first appeared, Zhang Han and several people did sand table deduction in private. The situation in Qingzhou is not optimistic, and the key is that Zhang Han is a miser -- reluctant to Pingyuan County. Otherwise, relying on the defense of the big river, there are lookouts and beacon fires along the river, and Qingzhou is as stable as Mount Tai. However, Qingzhou has a population of only 5.1 million, and Zhang Han has worked hard for more than three years, and only recruited 370,000 displaced people. With a population of more than one million people in the plains, Zhang Han is 10,000 points reluctant. Therefore, Zhang Han made up his mind that even if he fought a battle with the Yellow Turban Army, he would defend the two cities of Pingyuan County and Guoxian without losing. As long as the two cities are in hand, Plains County will not have much to lose.

However, the situation in Qingzhou was undecided, Qingzhuang had not been trained, Zhang Han was shocked three times a day, and every time he received information from the Yellow Turban Army, he was worried that the Yellow Turban Army had attacked, but he was so anxious that he could only endure himself, and he could not withdraw his troops, and no one could do anything -- he could not compensate Qingzhou for the sake of the plain.

By March. Things took a turn for the better, and Bei Zhonglang commanded Lu Zhi and surrounded the main force of Zhang Jiaodi in Guangzong. Lu Zhi commanded the five colonels of the Northern Army, and recruited several county soldiers along the way, with more than 35,000 soldiers, and the main force of the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao exceeded 100,000 young and strong. With one-third of the troops, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao surrounded Guangzong, forcing the other party to defend the fortified city and not dare to fight. Even if the Yellow Turbans lacked training. The Northern Army and the county soldiers are well-trained, and Lu Zhi's ability to command troops should also be ranked in the middle.

Lu Zhijun formed a strong pressure on the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, Zhang Jiao defended with all his might, and did not dare to go out of the city to fight in the field, and the situation in the plain was greatly improved. Zhang Han put down his burden and let out a sigh of relief. Start figuring out how to take advantage of it right away.

Zhang Han could lead the army across the river, wave his army westward, and go straight behind the Yellow Turban Army of Guangzong, forming a two-sided attack with the army led by Lu Zhisuo. No matter what the result is, as long as Qingzhou sends troops, he will always get a little credit in the end. But this is not in the interests of Zhang Handi, if Zhang Han is brave and good at fighting, Emperor Ling is happy and promotes him to Yang, Zhang Han will not have time to cry.

Since I am not ready to fight for this merit. Zhang Han has more choices. How long Lu Zhi surrounded Guangzong, Zhang Han couldn't remember. But. Lu Zhi was convicted for this, and the time will definitely not be short. Zhang Han calmly reorganized his armament. in order to establish his prestige in the Qingzhou Army.

Zhang Han led the officers and soldiers to train during the day and taught the officers and soldiers the law at night. In a hurry, 20 days passed, Zhang Han traveled all over the army, and also became familiar with all these generals, successfully established his prestige, and completed the initial integration of the whole army, and was barely able to carry out the order and prohibit. At noon that day, Zhang Han was chatting with Sun Chengliang and other generals. The pro-soldier Gao Shun walked over quickly. Without speaking, Gao Shun gave a military salute first.

"My lord. Screening is back! ”

"Oh," Zhang Han stood up, "when?" ”

"Back to the lord, less than an hour after I came back, the government just sent someone to inform me. Screening said that everything was safe and sound in the plains, and he saw that the adults were not there, so he went home first. ”

Zhang Han took two steps, "Well, then don't bother him first, you go and inform Screening to drive, come to the house in the evening to discuss matters, and rest at home in the afternoon!" In addition, other engaged in and Hua Zhubo must be notified. ”

"Yes!" Gao complied, and then repeated Zhang Han's words.

"Hmmm! Go ahead! ”

As soon as Gao Shun left, Zhang Han looked at the majestic Lincheng and thought thoughtfully.

"Great, sir!" Sun Chengliang hesitated and shouted.

"What? As the saying goes, I'm not a tiger. Zhang Han looked back and smiled.

"My lord, ...... that night" Sun Chengliang's face was a little red, and Lord Zhang didn't owe anyone, isn't it a bit ...... to ask

"Well, I have something to do at night, so I can't discuss military affairs with you, don't worry, the future will be long!"

"Yes! My lord. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Han really answered, Sun Chengliang's chest was hot, his face was red, and he happily got up and hugged his fists and gave a military salute before answering loudly. Seeing Sun Chengliang solemn, Zhang Han couldn't help but bow, returned the salute, and fell into contemplation again.

Donnie Yen went to the plains with the reinforcements, but he didn't need to go. But the reinforcements are drawn from the monarchies, not under each other's control, although Zhang Ying's ability is not bad, but he is too young, just a military marquis transferred from the head of the Dou Shan Pavilion, any general who leads the team is higher than his grade, Zhang Han is afraid that he will not be able to command, and he will delay the big event, so he assigned Donnie Yen to suppress the formation. With his identity as a don't drive, even the Plains Taishou has to be a little scrupulous.

In fact, Zhang Ying is better at attacking, and Gao Shun is more suitable for defense than him. It's a pity that Gao Shun performed well, Zhang Han cherished him and didn't let him be an official, but just ordered him to lead the guards. At this moment, it is not good to let the captain of his own guard command the troops. Therefore, Zhang Han specially assigned a few thoughtful, excellent staff officers, and good at defense from his own personal guards to Zhang Ying as personal soldiers, and he would not make a mistake in thinking about it.

However, what happened to the plains, after Donnie Yen left, can Zhang Ying command the army, whether to wave the army across the river next, or wait a little longer...... With a lot of clues, Zhang Han thought a lot for a while.

In the first year of Zhongping (April and May 184, when Zhang Han was working hard and planning to divide Qingzhou, the court of the Han Kingdom did its best and sent a three-way army to fight fiercely with the Yellow Turban. Among them, the North Road is the North Zhonglang General Lu Zhijun, who suppressed Zhang Jiao's department; Another Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army? The knights of the three rivers and the recruitment of Jingyong, a total of more than 40,000 people, the middle road is led by the left middle lang general Huangfu Song, and the south road is the right middle lang general Zhu Jun, each of whom leads an army of about 20,000 people.

Yingchuan County is only 500 miles away from Yang, just in Baguan Duyi? Outside the pass, once you enter the pass, you can reach the sun on the tenth day. Therefore, the Yingchuan Yellow Turban is the most threatening. Huangfu Songjun and Zhu Jun fought together against the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army.

The conquest of the two armies in Yingchuan did not go well, and out of some political considerations, Emperor Ling divided the 40,000 troops into two, so that either one would not have an advantage in the face of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army. And the cooperation between two armies that are not subordinate to each other will not be so tacit. However, Qu Shuai Bo of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army is brave and good at fighting. In late April, Bo Caitong led the army to defeat Zhu Junbu in one fell swoop, and took advantage of the situation to encircle Huangfu Song's troops in the county seat of Changshe.

The number of yellow turbans in Yingchuan was five times that of Huangfu Song's army, and the officers and soldiers heard that Zhu Junjun was defeated by Bocai, and in the chaos, no one knew the exact situation of Zhu Junjun's army, and some people even said that Zhu Jun was dead and the entire army was wiped out. With the same soldiers, Zhu Jun's army has more troops than Huangfu Song's army. As a result, the whole army of Huangfu Song was terrified, the people were panicked, and their morale was extremely low.
