The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Zhou Liang went so far as to sow discord and sow discord.レm♠思♥Road♣客レ

Xun Zhen was unaware of this.

After meeting Zhou Liang and Li Cang, Lu Guang went to Xiangguo County with Zuli County, two hundred daring counties selected by lottery.

Before he left, Xun Zhen wrote a letter to Yao Sheng, the commander of Xiang State, asking him to assist Lu Guang in capturing Huangyuling.

Chen Wu is a native of Huangyuling, and he himself has the responsibility of compiling Xintun and coaching him. Although he cannot go to Huangyuling with Lu Guang, he has chosen two or three young people from his hometown who are familiar with Huangyuling's mountain shape. Yes, let him be Lu Guang's guide.

With the assistance of Yao Sheng and the people of Chen Wu Township, Lu Guang's trip would have been a complete victory as long as there were no accidents.

Lu Guangzhi first seized Huangyuling, which was the prelude to Xunzhen's massive attack on Huangbeard.

After sending him away, Xun Zhen first controlled the law and order in Handan County through Xizhi, and then put all his thoughts on compiling Xintun and cāo Lianyi.

Xintun was compiled very quickly. Although Cheng Jia and Chen Wu had never brought soldiers, Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin and others under Xun Zhen's command had been "hardened in battle". As early as in Xixiang, Xun Zhen used the Ministry of War to restrain them. They were very familiar with the affairs of the army, and with their guidance and assistance, and Cheng Jia and Chen Wu were also talented, it only took more than a day. , the two new villages will be declared complete.

Of course, this "compiling completion" is only a formal compilation completion.

The hundreds of "bandits" that Cheng Jia brought back, and the hundreds of officials and soldiers from Xiangguo County that Yao Sheng gave to Xunzhen, all had no experience in the army, and most of them were inexperienced in battle formations. In order to form combat effectiveness in the military, it will take a certain amount of time.

For a "new army", the most important thing is not to teach them how to fight, but to let them know the martial arts first. Only when you know the military law and obey the military law can you have discipline and organization; only when you have discipline and organization can you learn battle formations.

Although at this stage, Xunzhen did not need these two new colonies to immediately form a fighting force, and mainly used them to teach the headquarter Yicong how to conduct mountain warfare, it was also necessary for them to know the "military law".

Cheng Jia and Chen Wu were both unfamiliar with military techniques, so Xun Zhen sent Xiahoulan to their village, and Xiahoulan was in charge of the matter.

In this way, in the daytime, the soldiers of the two Xintuns taught the righteous followers of Xunzhen's headquarters to walk and fight in the mountains; in the evening, Xiahoulan gathered them together again and taught them the martial arts.

Xiahoulan was recommended by Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun said that Xiahoulan was familiar with military law and was proficient in law. This recommendation was not false at all. During the period of contact with Xiahoulan, Xunzhen often asked about military matters, and he answered them fluently and rationally. Xun Zhen felt that she had picked up a talent.

Li Bo, Xuan Kang and others were responsible for the military affairs in Xun Zhen's army. What Li Bo, Xuankang and others studied was not military law, but civil law. In civil law, Xiahoulan was inferior to Li and Xuan, and in military law, Li and Xuan were inferior to Xiahoulan.

The four words "Xiaoxiu" seem to be easy and simple to say, but in ancient times such illiterates accounted for the vast majority, and professional knowledge was often in the hands of a few people, only taught to disciples and disciples, and even called "family learning" In the overall context of the situation, a person who is familiar with military law is rare. Especially compared to the civil law that Xuan Kang and Li Bo studied, the military law profession is stronger and fewer people study it.

Therefore, Xun Zhen admired and relied on Xia Houlan very much.

——How important is military law to an army, there is no need to say more, the so-called military law person, "establishing martial arts to be powerful, punishing evil to ban evil", an army with lax military law can definitely become an army. To support a victorious army that is good at fighting, only by making the soldiers "fear me", that is, fear of the military law more than fear of the enemy, can the troops be ordered and banned, and they will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.

——Therefore, a military judge of an army may not have the bravery of a vanguard and a general, and may not have a good reputation, but it is actually a binding criterion for an army. When discussing its importance, an excellent military judge is even far better than a brave one. 's general school.

——The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the military was specially set up with the post of "military officer". The military is the military judge, "the master of military law". The army is in a special position in the army. Although the position is under the chief general, it is not under the command of the chief general. The law enforcement is "strictly according to the military law", only based on the military law, and has a certain judicial power. Those who violate the law can directly enforce the law. Those with more than 2,000 stone, such as generals, if there are illegal acts, the military can report it to the court and ask the emperor to rule.

——The importance of military law to an army can also be seen from the power of a military officer.

Xiahoulan lived up to Xunzhen's high expectations and made "three orders and five applications" in a short period of time, so that the soldiers in Xintun had a general understanding of the law of the army.

There are many provisions on the law of the military. The two Han Dynasties have a special "Military Law", which stipulates various laws in detail, ranging from restraining generals and colonels to restraining soldiers and soldiers. Although the soldiers in Xintun had a general understanding of these terms, the officers and soldiers in Xiangguo County were better. Those "bandits" were used to it, but it was difficult for them to do it for a while, and they sometimes violated the law. At the moment when he was employing people, when he was not in power, Xiahou Lan obtained Xun Zhen's consent to turn a blind eye to these new soldiers who violated the law, and ignored them for the time being.

Instructor Yicong is divided into two steps: the first step is to teach the "theory" by the soldiers in Xintun, and the "theory" has been taught, and the second step is to pull the Yicong to nearby places outside the county in batches. "Practice" in the mountains. In order to be more realistic, Xun Zhen also ordered Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, etc. to divide the parts participating in the practice into two teams: black and red, one team defending the mountain, the other team attacking the mountain, and practiced alternately.

At the beginning of October, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the Yi Cong and the army soldiers all changed into thick clothes.

The intense coaching work went on for half a month, and in the middle of October, it started to rain, and the wind and rain continued.

The weather is cold, and the wind and rain make it even colder.

...

At this time, Xun Zhen and Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Handan Rong, Xuan Kang, Li Bo, Cheng Jia, Cen Rong, Chen Wu and others climbed high and had a long view. Under the heavy wind and rain, the distant mountains were vast.

Xi Zhicai watched for a long time, and said to Xun Zhen, "The wind and rain are blowing, and the mountains are cold and lacking in food and clothing. Lieutenant, when the rain stops, the bandits in the mountains may come out to invade the counties."

Xun Zhen thought so.

"Through these rì coaches, all of our ministers already know the technique of mountain fighting. Although they are not proficient, they are enough to fight. Rather than waiting for the thief to attack, it is better to strike the yellow beard first."

Xun You agreed with him and said, "What Zhicai said is very true." After a pause, he added, "Lu Guang led the two hundred commanders to guard Huangyuling, and it is not appropriate for him to be left alone for a long time."

Xun Zhen stretched his hand out of the eaves to catch the raindrops falling from the sky. He frowned and said, "Why does the mountain slip after the rain?"

His followers were beginners in the art of mountain fighting, and they were not very skilled at all. After it rained, the mountain road was bound to be slippery, but it was even more difficult.

Cheng Jia said with a smile, "I have a plan, it can be slippery."

"Oh? What is it?"

"In the past, when I was studying abroad, I went to Jingzhou, and I saw that the local people often wore a kind of black lacquer shoes after the rain. This thing is extremely anti-slip. The lieutenant can pass on Wen Xiangjun, ask him to make thousands of pairs, and distribute them to righteous servants and soldiers, enough to climb mountains and mountains, like leveling the ground."

Yuzhou and Jizhou are in the north, and Jingzhou is in the south. It is rainy in the south, so there are rain boots like black lacquer shoes.

Xun Zhen was overjoyed and said, "Okay! With this shoe, I will have no worries."

A decision was made at the moment, while sending a message to Liu Heng, asking him to organize manpower to make rain boots, while sending orders to Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, etc. to prepare for the battle, as long as the shoes were made and the rain stopped, they would attack Huangbeard.

Previously, Xun Zhen asked Liu Heng to prepare the food, ordnance and other items needed for logistics, as well as the recruitment of civilians. Liu Heng had already done it, not to mention thousands of pairs of rain boots. He assigned the task, and made a few pairs of shoes according to the shoes drawn by Cheng Jia. Xun Zhen put them on and tried them on herself. It was really slippery and decided to use them. As a result, the whole county rushed to build, and in less than two days, two thousand pairs were made.

There were more than 2,000 followers of Xun Zhen's subordinates. It was impossible for him to bring all the men and horses to fight the yellow beard. 2,000 pairs of rain boots were enough.

On October 22, the rain stopped.

That night, Xun Zhen went out of the city, stayed in the camp, summoned the generals, and arranged for the dispatch of troops.

He left behind Xi Zhicai, Xu Zhongtong and 800 people to guard Handan, and brought the rest of the main force, as well as Handan Rong, Xun You, Dian Wei, Liu Deng, Jiang Qin, Chen Da, He Yi, Li Xiang, Xin A, Cheng Jia, Chen Wu, Cen Rong and others attacked.

...

In the early morning of the second day, state minister Liu Heng, state minister Huang Zong, Lang Zhongling Duan Cong, servant Hefa and other county officials all came to see them off.

Nearly 2,000 tigers and bens who were about to attack from Xunzhen gathered in the open space in the camp. The formation was neat, the lineup was bright, the flags were fluttering, and the guns were like a forest. Liu Heng and Huang Zong boarded the battalion lieutenant's platform and looked at the high morale of the troops, Liu Heng praised sincerely: "It's a real tiger." He said to Xun Zhen, "The lieutenant has such a strong army, this attack Huang Beard, I will definitely succeed, and I will wait for the good news of the lieutenant in Handan."

Duan Cong is also full of praise. ——Duan Cong is an honest person after all. Although he has been slandered by the Yang family’s parents and Zhou Liang, at least for now, he has not had any bad thoughts about Xun Zhen.

He also wished Xun Zhen a victory.

Huang Zong is a native of Runan and shares the same state with Xunzhen. He also thanked Xunzhen for following Huangfu Song to pacify the Yellow Turbans in Runan. Since Xunzhen arrived in Zhao State, he and Xunzhen have always been very friendly, and he is also generous with his wishes. words.

rì went up three poles, and Handan Rong came to the stage to report: "The time to start has come."

Xun Zhen rushed to Liu Heng, Huang Zong, Duan Cong, and He Fa to give a military salute, and said, "Huang Beard and Wang Dang are my Zhao Guo's confidants. If these two thieves are not eliminated, then Zhao Guo will have no peace! Zhen's attack this time. Yellow beard, invincible, do not return to Handan!"

Liu Heng's people complimented their words, and they all returned their salutes, saying: "In this way, I will wait long enough to wait for the lieutenant's good news."

Xun Zhen gave an order, and all the tribes came out and left the camp one after another.

The weather after the rain is very good, the sun is shining, the air is warm and the air is fresh.

Although the ground was muddy, it did not hinder the marching footsteps.

Nearly 2,000 righteous soldiers walked out of the barracks and turned to the official road.

Viewers along the way were blocked.

Xun Zhen's military discipline was extremely strict, and his subordinates seldom left the camp. The last time the people of Handan saw them marching on such a large scale was after Xun Zhen defeated Zuo Xu. , The smart has guessed that this must be Xun Zhen who is going to attack the thief again. Of course, the people hoped that Xun Zhen could wipe out the thieves in the county, and many people shouted and wished Xun Zhen a victory.

With the cheers and support of the people, the morale of Xun Zhen's followers grew even higher.

After leaving Handan County at noon, after a short rest, we set off again, crossing the river, and arriving at Xiangguo County in the afternoon.

Yao Sheng got the message early, and brought the gentry from Xiangguo County to meet him at the county boundary. With him, there were hundreds of civilian husbands from Xiangguo County, carrying grain and pulp, and all they brought with them to reward the army.

Xun Zhen ordered the three armies to stop, dismounted, brought Xun You and Handan Rong to the front, and met Yao Sheng and others.

Yao Sheng took the lead to bow down, and many Xiangguo County gentry bowed down.

Yao Sheng said: "The yellow-bearded man~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is a giant thief. This county has been plagued by it for a long time, and the people are often harmed by it. Today, the lieutenant personally led Xiong Zhan's men to come to pacify the thief, which is a blessing for the people of our county. !"

Xun Zhen helped him up, and then the gentlemen, and looked back at the nearly 2,000-paced cavalry parked on the road, and looked at the distant mountains in the west, and then looked at Handan Rong, Cheng Jia, Chen Wu, Cen Rong and others. A native of Zhao State, he smiled and said to Yao Sheng and the gentry of Zhuxiang State County: "Zhenyi is a lieutenant of the country, and it is my job to pacify the thieves and bring peace to the people. This time I strike the yellow beard, and I shall build it together with the scholars and officials of Zhao County. Military merit!"

...

Xiangguo County is not far from Handan, but it is not close. The troops have marched here and need to be repaired.

That night, Xun Zhen rewarded the three armies with the wine, meat, and rice food sent by Yao Sheng, and ordered the officers of various tribes to force their troops and horses. Go to bed early that night, rest for a night, wake up at the third watch in the next morning, eat, and before the fifth watch, the whole army has already set off towards the mountains in the west.

Yao Sheng and the gentry of Xiangguo County sent Xun Zhen ten miles away.

Watching this mighty division head for the distant mountains in the still dark night, Yao Sheng said with a sigh: "Yesterday I arrived in the county, and today it is less than five watch to pull out the battalion and attack. The wind, the aggression is like fire, I see it now!"
