In the face of General Zhenbei's sudden high position, Jiang Qi's mind was not overwhelmed. After receiving the seal of the commander of the army, Jiang Qi did not immediately go north according to the requirements of the holy decree and attack the last stronghold of the Yellow Turban Army, 'Xiaquyang', but began to repair the troops.

The reason why Jiang Qi rested was because he had his thoughts, now that the weather was slowly starting to get cold, it was not suitable for marching, and the Han army, which was completely dominant at the moment, did not need to force Zhang Baogou to jump over the wall in a hurry.

Immediately, Jiang Qi sent spies to inquire about the situation in Quyang, and at the same time let Xizuo disturb the enemy's military morale.

After defeating Guangzong and killing Zhang Liang, Jiang Qi knew that the battle in Xia Quyang would not be as difficult as Guangzong, and the most important thing to do at this moment should be to clear the remaining enemies around him and give Zhang Bao a deterrent.

Of course, now that the Yellow Turban is gone, even if Zhang Bao wants to carry it to the death, his subordinates may not have such determination, after all, they can see the fate of Guangzong's 100,000 army clearly.

Jiang Qi took over the Great Seal, and now although he has an army of 100,000 under his command, he can't take them all away at the moment. In the rectification of the army, in addition to the thousands of Bingzhou infantry cavalry that Dong Zhuo wanted to take away, there were also some light and strong soldiers from all over the country who could not form an army, and finally Jiang Qi planned to form an army of 30,000 people.

Maybe others don't understand why Jiang Qi vigorously reduced his troops before the big war, but how do they know Jiang Qi's ambitions.

The reason why this is the case, Jiang Qi hopes that this army will become his own strength in the future, and he has already felt that after this yellow turban chaos, although it seems to have subsided, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the foundation of the Han Dynasty has been shaken.

Whether it was for self-preservation or for the sake of his brothers, Jiang Qi could not let go of the opportunity to expand his strength in front of him.

In this reorganization, Jiang Qi plans to recruit 5,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry, the oldest of these elite infantry cavalry is no more than 25 years old, and the weak crown is preferred.

And this time in the whole army, Jiang Qi decided that all subordinates, no generals above the team rate will be left, and as for the new generals, they will be promoted from the subordinates who originally followed him. When the army was reorganized, except for the 30,000 elites selected, the rest of the men and horses would be divided into dozens of battalions, ready to take over the counties of Jizhou and turn them into county soldiers at any time.

Among the 5,000 cavalry, Jiang Qi transferred the soldiers of Jiang Xing's 300 Yue cavalry battalion in Naqu, plus his own personal soldiers and hundreds of outstanding knights from various cavalry battalions, to form a pro-soldier battalion of nearly 1,000 people, named Qilin Wei.

The other 4,000 cavalry were divided into three battalions, of which Guan Yu used a song from the original Yue cavalry to reorganize the Yue cavalry battalion and personally serve as the commander, and the number remained the original nearly 1,000 people.

The other two battalions of cavalry were led by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun respectively, but the number increased to 1,005, and they were named Leopard Cavalry and Cloud Cavalry respectively. The two battalions were light cavalry compared to the Yue cavalry, not only the war horses had lost their armor, but the soldiers' iron armor had also been replaced with leather armor.

Such cavalry has weakened its protection, but its speed has become more agile and changeable, which is similar to that of the steppe cavalry.

Of course, the 5,000 cavalry were mainly used as personal soldiers, and several people had to lead the infantry in wartime.

Naturally, Tong Fei and Xu Huang, who have been the commanders of the infantry and the three of them, are called the Five Tigers, have also formed a pro-military battalion of Qianwu. The soldiers in the battalion were all personally selected by the two of them, and Jiang Qi also named them backers and broken formations respectively.

As for Jiang Qi's two brothers, Jiang Xing and Jiang Feng, although they are still recuperating from their injuries, they have been confirmed as captains of an infantry battalion, but they are only a thousand-person battalion.

Their infantry battalions do not have names but numbers, they are the third and seventh battalions of infantry, and the official positions of the commanders of each battalion are all captains, of course, the captains of these infantry battalions are much different from the captains of Zhao Yun and several cavalry who were rewarded by the imperial court.

At the end of October after seven days of rest, Jiang Qi's army finally dispatched again, first Jiang Qi took Guan Yu as the general, led the cavalry headquarters, 5,000 infantry, and another five battalions of county soldiers, totaling more than 10,000, and went to Guangping to clear the remnants of the enemy in Guangping County.

Then Xu Huang led the same men and horses to Qinghe County, and Tong Fei went to Anping County. In the end, Zhao Yun accompanied Julu to guard Guo Dian and led 30,000 troops to recover Julu for the front army.

As for Jiang Qi, he led Zhang Fei and the rest of nearly 30,000 horses as the rear army to escort grain and grass.

On this march, why didn't Jiang Qi lead the troops to recruit in person, in addition to exercising a few brothers, it was also because of the miscellaneous things in the camp these days, which annoyed him and didn't even have time to breathe.

Fortunately, he still has a Xun Yu who has just become a long history, so he is worried, otherwise he will not be able to finish sleeping. This also made Jiang Qi desperately hope that Xun You's letter would be replied to, and someone could be found to help him share his worries. But the letter seemed to sink into the sea, and did not stir up the slightest splash.

Of course, compared with these chores, there is one person who bothers Jiang Qi more, and that is Liu Xuande, the 'imperial relative' who must go to the Chinese army in the morning, noon, and evening.

But you say you're Liu Xuande, come if you come! I didn't know that there were so many tears from him, and he cried every time he came. Later, as long as Jiang Qi heard his voice, his whole body trembled.

Today's Jiang Qi would rather face thousands of troops than face the crying Liu Xuande, it can be said that Jiang Qi has avoided him as a tiger wolf.

Later, Jiang Qi's three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry outside the big tent of the Chinese army were all prepared for Liu Bei, as long as he heard that Liu Bei was coming, Jiang Qi would definitely slip away from behind the big tent. Jiang Qi, who is known as tearing the tiger alive, has never been afraid of people to such a degree.

In the end, there was really no way, Jiang Qi paid out of his own pocket and paid 10,000 yuan for someone to buy him a position as a county magistrate, and then sent him away.

Seeing the big seal of Anxi County Commander appear in front of him, Liu Bei finally felt that he had not done it in vain, and he happily led more than 100 young people from the township to leave. Looking at Liu Bei who was far away, Jiang Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and swore in his heart that this kid would not fall into his hands, otherwise he would take care of it and avenge today's revenge.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

Donglai County is located in the northernmost corner of Donglai, close to the sea, and because of its proximity to the sea, Huang County has become one of the wealthier counties in Qingzhou.

Half a year after Tai Shici, who was about to reach the crown in the city, returned home, because of his fame in the township, he became the envoy of the county, with a rank of two hundred. Mainly responsible for the clerks sent to Luoyang by the county, of course, this position is an idle position for a remote county like them, Tai Shici has been in office for almost half a year, and he has not been to Luoyang once.

When the sun set on this day, Tai Shici was depressed and unhappy in the past, as soon as he got off work, he went to the tavern to get a pound of wine, and then bought some dried meat and roast chicken, and walked home in a good mood.

On the way back to the house, as long as the Tai Shi Ci he knew, he would say hello, and even throw a few copper coins to the beggar at the street entrance. Seeing the enthusiastic Tai Shici, the neighbors were all speculating about what good things Ziyi had encountered today.

Tai Shi Ci's house is not far from the mansion, just three streets away, and it is very easy to arrive on horseback. Compared with the mansions of the big families, the Taishi family is relatively shivering, but despite this, it is still much stronger than most people, and the courtyard of the two entrances is still quite spacious for the mother and son, as well as a maid ring and two old servants.

"Mother and child are back in 、、、、," Tai Shici said loudly as soon as he entered the open door.

"The young master is back, it's good today!" Hearing Tai Shici's voice, an old servant who was over half a hundred years old greeted him first.

"All is well, Faber please feed the horses!" Tai Shi Ci still has great respect for this servant who has watched him grow up and served his family for two generations, and immediately responded enthusiastically.

"Young master, rest assured, the best forage has been prepared," the old servant said with a smile, he knew how much he cherished the war horse that his young master rode back a few days ago.

"Ci'er is back, why are you so happy today??" Tai Shi Ci was talking to the servant, and around forty years, the woman who looked very kind walked out, accompanied by an old servant. Perhaps it was because she was worried about housework, but the woman's temples were already gray.

"Mother, why did you come out, hurry back to the house and it's windy here, don't get caught in the cold." Tai Shi Ci said to his mother with a worried face.

"Hehe, look at how serious it is, my mother is not old." Taishi's mother smiled and pulled her son and said.

"Of course, how can my mother be old, but the temperature is a little cold these days, and my mother is still careful. The mother came into the house and bought some food and drink, and told the mother good news. Tai Shi Ci smiled and handed the wine and food in his hand to the old servant Aunt Fu on the side and said.

Soon a few small dishes were put on the table, and after the two old servants retreated, only a little maid was left to serve the two mothers and sons.

The well-informed Tai Shi Mu has always focused on cultivating her only son, and Tai Shi Ci has always been very humble in his mother's disguise, but today he looks more like a martial artist. Naturally, the impression of her son, Tai Shi's mother is just wishful thinking, as a martial artist, she is Tai Shici's true face at the moment.

"Is Ci'er okay??" Taishi's mother asked worriedly, her son has been back for half a year, even if he later came to the county to take up an official position, but in her eyes, he looked depressed. At the moment, I can't help but wonder what happened today to make my son happy like this.

"Mother and child are so happy today, today the child saw a message from the letter sent by the state government yamen, and the mother knows what it is!" Tai Shi Ci said with a smile after taking another drink.

"What is it that makes my son so happy that I want my mother to know a thing or two?" Tai Shi Mu asked with some surprise.

"Mother should know that there is a lot of trouble in Taiping Road outside." Tai Shi Ci asked rhetorically.

"There are rumors in the market about how powerful those disciples are, and I heard that everywhere I went, the people joined them, didn't I have them in Qingzhou? Why did you hit Donglai! Tai Shimu said worriedly.

"Of course, but those people in my Donglai were suppressed by the Yamen as soon as they came out, so there was nothing to do, but Beihai was quite fierce, those thieves were robbing the rich and helping the poor under the banner of Taiping Road at the beginning, but later they became bandits, burning and looting everywhere, and doing all kinds of evil、、、、

As soon as he talked about the Yellow Turban Sect, Tai Shici thought that he had asked for his life several times, and wanted to take Qingzhuang to support Beihai but was not allowed, and in anger, he smashed his fist on the table, and the dishes splashed everywhere.

Seeing her son's appearance of worrying about the country and the people, Taishi's mother rushed to comfort her, thinking that she had always been strict with her son and it was not in vain, of course, she knew her son's thoughts in her heart, and then thought about the sullen appearance of these sons, Taishi's mother sighed and looked at her tall and strong son, she knew that her son was older, and he was no longer a child playing under his knees

"Ci'er, are you going to go on an expedition?"

"If only that were the case!" Hearing his mother's words, Tai Shi Ci felt rude, and hurriedly sorted out the stains on his robe, shook his head and sighed.

"Why is that Ci'er so happy today?" Since it is not as she wishes, Taishi's mother doesn't know what will make her son happy at the moment.

Tai Shici took the wine cup that the maid brought newly, the smile returned to his face, and said: "Mother still remembers that the child said that she worshipped a few brothers during her study tour? ”

"Brother、、、 oh! Come to think of it, it's the Taoyuan knot that I often talked about as a child! Remember that one of the brothers you often said was called Jiang and Qilin, right? Tai Shi Mu thought about it and said.

"It's not Jiang Qilin, it's Jiang Qi! He is Ci'er's fourth brother、、、、 as well as the second brother Guan Yu, the fifth brother Zhao Yun, the sixth brother Zhang Fei, and the seventh brother Tong Fei. Tai Shi Ci said like a few treasures.

"Then the young master is the eldest brother?" The maid who had just finished cleaning up Tai Shici and knocked over the dishes and chopsticks said curiously.

"Yes, I'm the third, and at that time, everyone couldn't discuss who would be the eldest brother, so they worshiped heaven and earth as the eldest brother, and then ranked in order of age." Tai Shi Ci remembered the mutual humility at that time and said with a smile.

"Heaven and earth are the eldest brothers, and the young master's brothers are all heroes like the young master!" The maid continued.

"Of course, my brothers are naturally heroes, but Ci doesn't dare to call himself a hero." Tai Shi Ci said with a dark face.

"How can Ci'er be arrogant, isn't the county guard very optimistic about you?" Taishi's mother doesn't know what's wrong with her son, where has the previous arrogance gone? actually reminded of himself.

"Isn't the mother asking the child why she is so happy today? That's because Ci saw the news of the fourth brother on the official document、、、" Tai Shi Ci continued after sorting out his emotions.

"When I first met my fourth brother in Liaodong, he was still a young man who had just graduated from school, and I was ready to go to Luoyang to establish some merits when I had a chance, but we were separated in Handan."

Ci was like a deserter, and although the brothers didn't say anything at the time, Ci knew they were sad. I didn't think that although Ci left, the fourth brother did not forget the oath of the day, and now the brothers have become heroes for the country and the people. ”

"Today, in the official document, the child learned that the fourth brother had led troops to fight in the Quartet since the beginning of the year to pacify the troubled times of the Yellow Turban, and now the fourth brother has become the general of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Yiyang, and the other brothers are also famous, and a general who the child does not know is called the Five Tiger Generals、、、、、、"

Seeing Tai Shi Ci slowly say that Tai Shi Mu was silent, she clearly knew that her son returned home to guard because she was worried about her, and gave up her brother's righteousness for the sake of filial piety, and saw that her son regained his confidence in the narration, Tai Shi Mu got up and pulled her son up and asked, "Does Ci'er know why your mother named you Ziyi?" ”

"Mother hopes that the child will be a good man who stands up to the sky and is loyal and righteous in the future." Tai Shi Ci looked at his mother's eyes and said firmly, not just a sentence, but also the standard of his life.

Seeing her son's sonorous answer, Taishi's mother patted her son's heavy spine comfortingly, and said, "Then tomorrow my son will go to your brothers and be loyal to the country!" After saying that, Taishi's mother turned around and left, she didn't dare to look at her son again, she didn't know if she would be reluctant to give up her son in the next moment.

"Mother and child can't leave you!!" Tai Shici fell to his knees when he heard his mother's words.

"Get up, wipe away your tears, my son has grown up, only outside can there be a sky for my son to soar like an eagle, Ci'er remember, don't live up to the martial arts passed on by your father." After speaking, Taishi's mother stepped out of the door without looking back.

Looking at the empty door, Tai Shici kowtowed three times, and walked towards his future without hesitation, when he took this step, he was destined to be famous for all eternity.
