There were hundreds of thousands of remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Zhao'an, and Yuan Yao selected 10,000 people from these remnants of the Yellow Turbans to form a new army.

Yuan Yao referred to them as Runan soldiers.

These people, Yuan Yao let Qiao Rui command, and after rectifying Runan for a while, he let them take them away from Runan, and then train troops in Lujiang.

Don't look at these Yellow Turban remnants have more than ten years of experience in the army, but in fact, these people are just some rabble, with more than ten years of experience, no different from mountain bandits.

In Yuan Yao's opinion, these people are no different from recruits.

Therefore, it needs to go through a series of rigorous training before it can be called a combatable soldier.

Yuan Yao asked Qiao Rui to train them as recruits, and they needed to go through a series of basic training to master basic military skills and combat skills, such as the marching, formation change, attack, retreat, etc. of the infantry, and the cavalry's horsemanship, archery, sword fighting, etc. In the basic training, it also includes physical training and psychological quality training.

Don't look at Yuan Yao's command there are not too many war horses, but there is still a need to train some cavalry, because a small number of war horses have to be trained for scouting, so it is necessary to select some people to train into cavalry.

Then, in order to become an elite division, you also need to have the ability to defend and siege cities, so it is necessary to learn the skills of city combat and the use of siege equipment.

After more than a month of training, these Runan soldiers have basically mastered some military skills and combat skills, after all, they have more than ten years of experience, but they have no effective guidance, and after being slightly corrected by those generals, they will soon be able to reach the point of being well-trained.

Finally, the success of the training also requires practical exercises. Recruits need to practice the skills and combat techniques they have trained in real combat, improve their combat skills and ability to deal with complex situations.

Originally, Qiao Rui's idea was to take these Runan soldiers to fight a dozen of those mountain bandits and rogues in Lujiang, which could also play a role in training, but before this opportunity could be practiced, he received the news that Yuan Yao had summoned them.

Yuan Yao needs them to go directly to the battlefield, go to the battlefield to sharpen, and grow faster!

In this regard, although Qiao Rui disagreed, but when Yuan Yao was employing people, he couldn't care so much, so he could only let him take people with him, and soon came to Moling County.

After meeting Yuan Yao, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they exchanged all kinds of greetings as soon as they met.

"Childe, it's a rush over, what's going on with you?"

Since receiving Yuan Yao's order, Qiao Rui has rushed to Danyang County with people non-stop, and he knows very little about the situation in Danyang County, but he learned from Yuan Yao's words that Sun Ce came to support with soldiers and horses, and now it is a stalemate.

A living force is needed to reinforce and upset this balance.

And Qiao Rui just hopes that his arrival can really help Yuan Yao.

"The current situation is okay, the day before yesterday, Sun Ce took the soldiers and horses and recaptured two county seats, but it doesn't hurt, in this Danyang County, we still occupy seven or eight county seats, he wants to fight these counties back, to say the least, it will take three months."

"That's great, at least the battle here isn't over yet, and the centaurs I brought will be able to play a role!"

"Childe, what do we need to do to reverse this situation?"

Qiao Rui was very excited, and he was quite looking forward to being able to fight Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce was still under Yuan Shu, Qiao Rui had a good relationship with him, but later after Sun Ce broke away from Yuan Shu and became independent, he had no friendship with these people.

Qiao Rui was also quite angry, and felt that Sun Ce was a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised.

This time, I was able to come and knock Sun Ce, and I was also excited.

"No, I don't plan to let you people and horses throw themselves into the battle in Danyang County."

Just when Qiao Rui was expecting Yuan Yao to take him to Sun Ce and start a big battle with Sun Ce, Yuan Yao changed his words and directly disappointed Qiao Rui's expectations.

"Not planning to participate in the battle in Danyang County? Does Childe have other plans? ”

Qiao Rui frowned, a little puzzled.

Yuan Yao nodded, revealing a confident look.

"Naturally, there is, I plan to take advantage of Sun Ce's delay in Danyang County to take you to attack his Wu County, at that time, he will definitely return to help Wu County, and the battle in Danyang County can be quelled."

Yuan Yao then told Qiao Rui in detail about his plan, and immediately stunned Qiao Rui for what he said, and praised him again and again.

"Childe, this plan is very good, but can Zheng Bao and Zu Lang alone really block Sun Ce's attack?"

"What if, these two people are not able to stop Sun Ce, but instead lose before we attack Wu County, wouldn't it be a failure?"

Qiao Rui first agreed with Yuan Yao's plan, but then quickly voiced his concerns.

Yuan Yao seemed to have thought that Qiao Rui would ask this question.

"Originally, I planned for you to lead a few thousand men and horses to stay here in Danyang to assist them, but now there is no need."

"Zheng Bao invited Zhang Duo and Xu Gan to help, and with the help of the two of them, thousands of soldiers and horses were added, and Danyang County should have no worries."

Yuan Yao replied calmly, if Zheng Bao relied on these people and couldn't hold Danyang County for ten days and half a month, then it would be in vain for him to help Zheng Bao capture Wu County.

With Yuan Yao's words, Qiao Rui had other questions, and he agreed.

In order not to expose Qiao Rui's 10,000 reinforcements, Yuan Yao didn't even let Qiao Rui enter the city with his men and horses, but after some greetings, he asked Qiao Rui to leave immediately, go back to lead the soldiers and horses, and divert to Jiangcheng County.

There are still hundreds of warships from Yuan Yao and Zheng Bao to Danyang in Jiangcheng County.

Using these warships, Yuan Yao's men and horses could quickly go from Jiangcheng County to Wu County downstream.

As long as the soldiers and horses arrive in Wu County and build a few cities in Wu County, the situation in Wu County changes, and Sun Ce of Danyang County will definitely be restless.

As short as more than ten days or as long as half a month, Sun Ce will definitely consider the safety of Wu County first.

As long as he withdraws his troops, then Danyang County can be captured by Zheng Bao's men.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yao didn't even stop too much in Danyang County, and the next day he quietly left Moling County with his men and horses, and went straight to Jiangcheng County.

After arriving in Jiangcheng County, this place has already been controlled by Zheng Bao's men and horses, and all the boats he took before have also docked here.

Qiao Rui and his men and horses have been waiting here for a long time, and they have already boarded the ship, just waiting for Yuan Yao to arrive, and they can set off.
