Chapter 155: Naval Talents

The Yellow Turban Thief's tactics are the same as Jia Xu and other Western Liang soldiers to defeat Wang Yun and Lu Bu, this method was born from Sun Bin's siege of Wei to save Zhao during the Warring States Period, and it is very useful, and I don't want the Yellow Turban Thief to do this trick. That's right, Zhang Rao is a native of Beihai, Qingzhou, as long as he understands a little bit of history and legends, he will be clear about the case of Sun Bin, who is also the hometown of Qi in Qingzhou.

Now thinking of Zhang Rao and Guan Hai, He Bai has a headache. He Bai speculated through historical records that these two people are wise and brave, complementing each other, but I am afraid that they are the initiators of the millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and the controllers of the largest forces.

Later, Zhang Rao was first defeated by Gongsun Zhan, and then defeated by Cao Cao, perhaps he was killed in the chaos, and millions of Yellow Turban thieves surrendered to Cao Cao unconditionally, becoming Cao Cao's starting capital. Guan Hai was disobedient to Cao Cao, so he retreated to Qingzhou to continue the rebellion. Until the siege of Kong Rong, he was killed by Liu Beijun Guan Yu who came to the rescue.

Therefore, in October last year, He Bai wanted to break Zhang Rao first, drive him away from Beihai, and go to other counties in Qingzhou to cause harm, but he didn't want Zhang Rao to go to Donglai to join Guan Hai without firing a single arrow. Although He Bai wanted to drive Zhang Rao away, he definitely didn't want Zhang Rao to go to Donglai. Because in this case, he will not be able to secretly help himself to cause trouble in the entire Qingzhou land.

Coupled with the launch of the Beihai Rejuvenation Plan, He Bai couldn't help but forget about it for a while. In addition, the battle against Dong Zhuo has begun, if it weren't for Lu Zhi's envoy for help, He Bai was afraid that he would have forgotten about it. At this time, if these two people cannot be eliminated before the troops are sent to fight against Dong, Beihai County, which has no army to defend in the future, is afraid that it will also suffer from the scourge of the two of them.

Therefore, after the soldiers and horses gathered, He Bai led the Chinese army Sima Zhao Zhi and the rear army Sima Kongli and other 2,000 elite soldiers to go forward on horseback, and ordered Huang Zhong, Wu Anguo, Zong Bao to lead the 3,000 county soldiers and 1,000 new soldiers composed of Luoyang people to die in the rear, looking down to Mi County.

All the way to Duchang, there are thousands of soldiers blocking the road in front, He Bai was taken aback when he heard the report, hurriedly reined in the horse and sent a sentry to scout the scout, and when he closed the rear army of the galloping cavalry, suddenly four horsemen looked at He Bai's banner and rushed to him.

Not long after, I saw Guan Cheng leading three strong men to worship in front of He Bai, and bowed to the ground and said, "Servant Guan Cheng, meet the lord." The three major things delivered by the lord have been completed by the servants fortunately. This person's name is Hong Kuang, and he is a craftsman who can build a large ship of 3,000 materials. These two people are the two generals of Yangtze Jiang Zhoutai and Jiang Qin specially summoned by the sovereign. This time, there were still more than 2,000 water thieves of Yangzhou size who were summoned by the ministers to come to meet the lord together. ”

He Bai was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly jumped off the horse and walked towards the trio. Although Hong Kuang has exquisite skills, but he was only a rich and noble person before, when he heard that He Bai was summoned by the Beihai Minister, and hired the Lou ship officer who went to Beihai to serve as a thousand stones, he immediately summoned the clansmen to follow the management. As soon as he saw He Bai at this time, he immediately fell to the ground with his knees crisp, his buttocks cocked high, and bowed down in front of He Bai.

He Bai helped him up, asked him a few words, and asked him to wait by the side, and then turned to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. These two have been thieves for many years, with fierce faces, tall and stout, and quite brave. Both of them are from martial arts backgrounds, and they have not yet officially taken refuge, and they still have self-respect and self-love, but they are not as humble and respectful as Hong Kuang, but they just greet them with respect.

"Zhou Tai, Zhou Youping, Jiujiang Shouchun people, Jiang Qin, Jiang Gongyi, meet the Minister of Beihai."

He Bai laughed and stepped forward to take the hands of the two and said: "When I passed through Xuzhou last year, I heard that the people of Guangling in Xuzhou said that there are two heroic warriors in the Yangtze River, one is Zhou Tai and Zhou Youping, and the other is Jiang Qin and Jiang Gongyi. Although these two men lost their lives as thieves, they were both loyal and righteous people. When I heard this, I was overjoyed, and I wanted to pray again and invite them to come and follow me. It's just that he was in a hurry to go to Beihai to serve as An Min at that time, and he couldn't go to the Yangtze River to invite the two in person. ”

So soon after taking office, he specially sent Guan Cheng to the Yangtze River to summon him. I am very happy that the two of you can come from thousands of miles to vote. Originally, I was going to set up a banquet for the two heroes to catch the wind, but at this time there was an emergency military situation, I want to go to Donglai Huang County to rescue the king of Donglai, I'm afraid I can't have a banquet, and I hope you two will forgive me. ”

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were very excited when they saw that He Bai really valued themselves as Guan Cheng said. No matter who a thief can be summoned by a local high-ranking official in the court, no matter who is moved, he immediately knelt down to formally meet He Bai, and shouted: "But the country of Mongolia will not give up, and I will be called thousands of miles away, and the two of us are grateful, and I dare to look at the banquet again." Please accept the courtesy of the two of us, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin will visit the lord. ”

After speaking, the two bowed to He Bai three times in a dignified manner. He Bai was overjoyed, this courtesy was much more effective than the subordinate courtesy of Sun Shao, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan and others. A subordinate is just a subordinate, and he can go at any time if he is not happy. After worshipping the ministers and setting the righteousness of the master and slave, it is different, basically until death will follow one person, and he is a real subordinate.

It seems that with the difference in identity and fame, it will be relatively easy to recruit talents. I think that when I was in Taiyuan County, it was difficult for a mere Hou CD to be subdued, and Yu Hua, Cheng Qi and other subordinates were even more selfish than truly selfless loyalty. Now he is only slightly assuming the meaning of Corporal Lixian, and he has the loyal refuge of first-class generals such as Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. It feels so good.

Thinking about it, Liu Bei is still powerful, when he has no power and no power in the early stage, he can get the loyalty of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two super fierce generals. It seems that the name of the Han clan who doesn't know the truth can indeed give him a lot of help. Although the scholars and scholars who attached importance to practical interests, Liu Bei was still a little confused in the early days. But at least in the ordinary people's class, Liu Bei is still very good.

In the society at this time, it is still very important to pay attention to family background. It doesn't matter what money is not rich, and there is no power. Even if he is a beggar, as long as he has the blood of the emperor of the Han family, he will ask for more money than others.

This is different from the mainstream view of later generations, at this time, people still prefer to pay attention to their background and show off their family background. Chen Shi's "prince and prince will have a kind of Xiangning" has never been the mainstream view of society.

Therefore, different origins will still have different effects on the results. For example, Liu Bei was later called emperor, which was justified. Cao Pi and Sun Quan are called emperors, and they are rebels and thieves. At this time, I think about it, should I make it clear that I am impersonating the same clan of Nanyang He. He Jin, the first generation, may still be laughed at and eat soft rice, but when it comes to his own second generation, he will be a righteous nobleman. At least it's better than after Cao Cao, the eunuch.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin bowed and said: "Since there is an emergency military situation, the two of us are willing to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to be the vanguard of the main public." ”

He Bai is very satisfied with the volunteering of the two, but He Bai has passed history, and the positioning of the two is very clear. Both of them are generals who are good at naval forces, and their ability in foot combat may be average. Moreover, Qingzhou is located in the north, and the naval army is afraid that it will not be used for a while, so it can only be used as a technical arm for storage.

Regarding the invitation of the two to fight, He Bai didn't want to consume the already scarce water army, so he didn't want to agree. It's just that the expectations of the two are very strong, and they don't want to discourage their enthusiasm. So he said: "You have waited thousands of miles away, and you have not rested yet, how can I bear to send you to fight immediately." In this way, Guan Cheng will lead Jiang Gongyi and the others to rest first, and Zhou Youping can go out with me, how about following me? ”

This arrangement is because Jiang Qin in history is better at leading troops to fight, while Zhou Tai's ability to command troops is slightly weaker, but his personal force is quite strong, and he is better at conflict and battle, protecting the main general, so Zhou Tai's companions were singled out. Zhou Tai immediately surrendered his hand excitedly, got on the horse and fought with Ye Xun from He Bai's side, while Jiang Qin stood aside with some loss.

He Bai couldn't bear it for a while, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Guan Cheng, how many ships does the navy have now?" ”

Guan Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "Back to the lord, it turns out that the servants have twenty-four large and small warships, and the two generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin have come to Beihai with two thousand-material bucket ships, seven five- and six-hundred-material three-wing ships, and twenty-three Mengchong. The others had eight ships on three wings, and twenty-five ships on Meng Chong. There were 89 ships of all sizes, with a total of 27,600 materials. ”

He Bai remembered that Guan Cheng once said that if it was just to transport people, the ship could transport one person per material. If it is to transport troops, because there are all kinds of weapons, it can only be transported by two materials. Then eighty-nine ships, with a load of more than 27,000 materials, were enough to transport an army of 13,000 men. Moreover, Guan Cheng, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin led the naval army to and from the sea route of thousands of miles in Qingyang and Yangzhou, and it was absolutely feasible to use the sea troops.

He Bai couldn't help laughing and said, "Gongyi, after you rest for a day, I still have important tasks entrusted to you." ”

Jiang Qin was overjoyed and asked, "I don't know what important tasks the lord has entrusted to his subordinates?" ”

He Bai said with a smile: "There will be 8,000 foot soldiers coming to Duchang Port to stand by tomorrow, most of these foot soldiers are new soldiers who have not gone through the battle formation, but I want to use them to train the main force of this battle." Your task and Guan Cheng's task is to put them down in the open sea of Donglaihuang County safely. Remember, try to stay close to the shore as much as possible, and do not force yourself to ensure the safety of the lives of these 8,000 foot soldiers. ”

Jiang Qin and Guan Cheng were overjoyed when they heard this, only the people who the lord needs from time to time can have the value of being a man. It would be very sad if the sovereign left it aside. Although this time it was just a ship to transport troops, it was a great need, and the two immediately gave up excitedly.

Then, He Bai ordered Huang Zhong's department, which was slowing down behind him, to gather at Duchang Port, take a boat from the sea to Donglai Huang County, and lead the cavalry to look at the secret city. After arriving at Xiami City, he ordered the 4,000 new troops that had been assembled to assemble at Duchang Port, and they all obeyed the orders of the three generals Huang Zhong, Wu Anguo, and Zong Bao.

After arriving off the coast of Huangxian County, he secretly went ashore in the middle of the night. If he has not yet arrived, it will be up to Huang Zhong, as the commander-in-chief, to decide when to launch a surprise attack, depending on the situation. This battle will be dominated by faster foot soldiers.

The order was given, He Bai immediately led 5,000 cavalry, and the logistics materials were carried by 4,000 pack horses, and the whole army quickly looked at Donglai Huang County and rushed to serve as a reserve support force for Huang Zhongsan's general in case of defeat.

After entering Donglai Kingdom, I saw that there were no people in Lu Township and Dangli County for hundreds of miles, including Xiami County in Beihai, and the people were all coerced by the Yellow Turban thieves. Originally, there were 850,000 people in Beihai State, which was more than the people of one state. After Zhang Rao's Yellow Turban Rebellion, more than 20,000 people died and nearly 50,000 people were taken hostage. More than 70,000 people in these two counties who don't want to Donglai have all been persecuted and coerced by the Yellow Turban thieves.

originally wanted to indulge Zhang Rao and Guan Hai to bring disaster to the entire Qingzhou, but they began to waver. If he took over such an empty Ruoda Qingzhou, and there were millions of yellow turban thieves looking at him to eat, he was afraid that he would be driven crazy. If you want to restore the agricultural production of the entire Qingzhou, I am afraid that you will take great pains, and it will never be easier than Cao Cao, who was often short of food in the early days.
