Chapter 125: The Great War (1)
Now that the Zhongshan Army has captured a large amount of military resources in the enemy-occupied areas, it is imperative to turn the pieces into a whole and gather superior forces.
The fresh red flag hunted in the wind, like a flame burning momentum, which soon affected the young people in the village.
Most of them were soldiers who had served in the military and received basic military training, and they were extremely dissatisfied with the forced relocation of the Xiliang Army, and once wanted to resist.
Now, when they saw the "Wang Shi" easily killing these rebels who were harming the people, they couldn't help but be a little moved, and secretly found the sergeants of the Zhongshan Army, and asked about the conditions for joining the army.
In fact, Liu Bei, the Duke of Xuande, led this army from one victory to another, and even defeated the world's No. 1 military general Lu Bu in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and there was no need to hide it.
These waterless achievements made the young Zhuang in the village stand stunned at the moment, and his face not only showed a look of yearning.
Now that the Zhongshan army is about to pull out, go to the capital Luoyang to fight a decisive battle with the Xiliang army, the young Zhuang in the village can no longer hold back, and desperately rush to Zhongshan Taishou Liu Bei's mount, arm in hand to form a line, and tell the determination of the army bluntly.
Liu Bei was naturally pleasantly surprised, originally he was still worried about fighting with the elite of the Xiliang Army, and the casualties of the soldiers under his command were probably very large, but now if there are additional soldiers to replenish, then the defeat of the rebels, so that the capital Luoyang can get rid of the poisonous hands of Dong thieves, it is estimated that it will be able to do it.
However, after all, he is a member of the Han clan with "benevolence and righteousness", not a strong prince who acts without scruples, so he cherishes his feathers and does not want to take all the young and strong labor in the village, so as not to miss the agricultural time and delay the harvest for a year.
With Ye Zhiqiu's current cultivation, his ability to observe words and colors has long been different from what he used to be, and from Liu Bei's subtle change in expression, it can be seen that he wants to accept the young people in the village into the army, and he does not want to disturb the people's dilemma because of his own personality.
"I'll do this white-faced villain! Anyway, in their minds, I'm already a ruthless character who kills people!"
Ye Zhiqiu had already made up his mind in his heart, and immediately rode his horse forward: "What kind of system will you make if you are secretly connecting in tandem and blocking the way of the righteous army?
The young man in the village remembered Ye Zhiqiu's ruthless methods when he saw the "killing talent" coming out, and he couldn't help but retreat and retreat.
Ye Zhiqiu's heart was cold, and the hand that grabbed the reins turned white, and secretly sighed that the clansmen of the Gyeonggi Territory were killed by the butcher's knife of the Xiliang Army.
Unexpectedly, there were people who retreated, and there were many people with strengths, and the young people in the village, who were not afraid of Ye Zhiqiu's killing intent, stepped forward in unison and bluntly said their decision to join the army.
Seeing this, Liu Bei was quite satisfied with their performance, and asked the villagers why they joined the army, mostly because they wanted to follow Xuande Gong, a clan relative of the Han family, and avenge their relatives and friends who died under the Xiliang saber.
When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he sighed in his heart: "The revenge of the tenth world can still be avenged! The great revenge spirit of my great man is really terrifying and respectable!"
Despite this, Ye Zhiqiu still wanted to be a "villain", and came forward again at the moment: "The battlefield battle is the business of our soldiers, if you want to join the army, you can stay in the rear army and be responsible for transporting the heavy, rescuing the wounded, cleaning the battlefield and other chores!"
Liu Bei also thinks so, after all, the soldiers under his command have finished running-in, and now that new recruits are being inserted, not to mention anything else, it will definitely affect the combat effectiveness. Since it is not possible to join the army in one place, it is also a common practice to simply resettle in another place!
Ye Zhiqiu saw Xuande Gong nodding in agreement, and added unhurriedly: "This trip to Luoyang, the capital to fight the Xiliang rebels, is really a life of nine deaths, if one of you is the only son in the family, please leave." Got it?"
The young people in the village glanced at each other, and immediately knew that Ye Zhiqiu was a disgusting and kind person, and among them, there were only sons or people who were "only children", and in the eyes of everyone, they naturally retreated unwillingly.
Even after screening a few times, there are still more than fifty young people in the village who are willing to join the army, all of whom bring their own knives, guns, clubs, leather armor, armor, and even ancestral armor.
Ye Zhiqiu only understood after Liu Bei's guidance that these villagers were probably all meritorious deeds of the Guangwu Revival Han Dynasty, so they had the privilege to keep the family heirloom iron armor, and they would have been dealt with a long time ago if they were replaced by others!
Moreover, after this village was carefully closed, there were only three pairs of iron armor, and they were still untidy remnants, rusty and harmful, and the Xiliang Army was not rare, but the villagers regarded it as a treasure.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but shake his head, secretly thinking that such an iron armor might not be able to block a few carved arrows of the Xiliang Army, but Liu Bei nodded again and again with great satisfaction, and whispered.
"The hearts of the people are available!"
Ye Zhiqiu thought about it carefully, the villagers had just been saved, and they enthusiastically signed up for the army, no matter their heart and courage, they were commendable, so they didn't have to be too demanding.
"It's a big deal to go back to the furnace and rebuild! Our army now has abundant reserves, and a few pairs of iron armor are still not a problem. ”
Liu Bei nodded again and again when he heard this, anyway, these villagers are considered to be prepared supplementary soldiers, and it is estimated that by the time they are used, the Zhongshan army has already run out of water.
However, when the troops who had spread out like a net gathered together, they were followed by long tails.
Ye Zhiqiu immediately found that he still underestimated the consciousness of the people of the Han Empire, and the number of recruits who took the initiative to join the army was too many.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at it at a glance, and it was simply a sea of people. After counting the accumulation of new recruits, the strength of the Zhongshan Army was at least doubled.
"This is the remnant of the glory of the two Han Dynasty and the 400-year-old empire, the appeal of the Han dynasty in the middle and lower echelons of the empire, and there are many people who want to revive the Han dynasty! This is the norm, this is the mainstream! The people's aspirations, the destiny of heaven is in the Han! Wansheng!"
Ye Zhiqiu suddenly became excited, stood up on the mount, used the Taoist method to amplify his voice, and issued a slogan that affected the whole army!
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers and civilians who reacted immediately followed: "Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories! The Han Empire is invincible and invincible!"
Recruits from different places quickly got rid of their short-term confusion and strangeness in the neat and uniform slogan, and quickly integrated into this "Wang Shi".
Even if he was as calm as Liu Bei, he was emotionally infected by this big scene made by Ye Zhiqiu, and leisurely remembered the words of strangers who passed by the door of his house when he was a child.
"The tree is like a canopy, be a nobleman!"
After Liu Bei raised troops to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he still wanted to revitalize his family with his meritorious deeds, and after becoming a legitimate clan member by naturalizing his genealogy, he didn't expect to come step by step to the present, and he actually got a glimpse of the supreme emperor!
Fortunately, his city is extremely deep, and even in the midst of the raging army, he still does not forget his original intention, just smiling and looking at everything that is happening around him.
When Ye Zhiqiu saw Liu Bei who was so calm and composed, he immediately believed that he had not seen the wrong person.
In this situation, other people would have been unable to control themselves for a long time, but Liu Bei was able to hold the ground, and it was really magnificent.
The two looked at each other tacitly across the human wall, and both saw each other's expectations and recognition, and the former estrangement suddenly disappeared.
Wild and unrestrained enthusiasm is like a tide, slowly rising and then slowly fading.
The Zhongshan army has achieved a general trend, so it swept towards the capital Luoyang, and encountered a small force of Xiliang army on the way, even if it was a fast horse ride, it was solved by Ye Zhiqiu himself.
The extraordinary methods of the Taoist generals, especially the use of military spirit, made the Zhongshan army smack, and the recruits were even more interested.
From one victory to the next, not only inspires morale, but even a large number of recruits are inspired by Ye Zhiqiu's methods!
When the Zhongshan army arrived close to the border of the capital Luoyang, the huge army could no longer be hidden, and the Xiliang army had already seen the edge of the army under Liu Bei in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and immediately there were unconvinced generals who led troops to intercept it!
It's a pity that Lu Bu, the world's number one flying general, is not here, and the elite flying bear soldiers of the Xiliang Army have just defeated Wucheng Hou Sun Jian, and the Jiangdong army that scattered this crazy tiger is now resting and preparing to return to the army to escort Dong Xiang to Chang'an.
Ye Zhiqiu knew that the flying general Lu Bu personally led the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry to wait for an opportunity to move near the left, and Cao Cao's loyal army and Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous army who were put into the Tiger Prison Pass, as well as Qiao Mao's Dongjun army, didn't know where to go now, but he still did not hesitate to make a move.
The Xiliang army is now eaten by the dragon qi and disgusted by the people, all the military generals who belong to the rebel camp are better, and the monks and Taoists are afraid that their luck is very low, and they will be defeated on the spot if they are not careful.
For example, Xu Rong, a true disciple of Jiulong Island who was born in the Xuanmen Great Sect, improved his way after escaping death and learned new exercises, which can be regarded as an enhanced version of "Xu Rong 2.0", and he should have made new contributions with high spirits!
As a result, his fortune was dragged down by the Xiliang Army, but he was fascinated by the dragon qi, he couldn't see the situation clearly, and died in the hands of Ye Zhiqiu in a blink of an eye, marrying others with everything he learned!
The Xiliang Army Group does not have a Taoist general comparable to Ye Zhiqiu, and the army that went out of the city to meet the battle is delivering food!
After lurking in the Gyeonggi territory for a long time, Ye Zhiqiu had already figured out the bottom of the high-level leaders of the Xiliang Army, but the technique of the left path was "calling for names and falling off the horse", and there was no one enemy.
The other soldiers of the Xiliang Army, in front of the invulnerable Five Poison Dao soldiers, did not have any resistance, and were swept away by them chopping vegetables and melons!
Ye Zhiqiu and the Taoist soldiers under his command stood still unscathed, and there were corpses and remains of the rebels everywhere, the scene was extremely bloody, even the veterans of the Xiliang Army were stunned, and their hearts were terrified.
"Who else?"
