The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

phone-reading

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month of the second year of Chuping, on this day, martial law was imposed in Dongyang County.

Not only has the gate of the city been strengthened, and only people are allowed in, but not out, the streets are also full of soldiers with spears and swords, and cavalry on horses roaring past from time to time.

First, due to the strict military discipline of the garrison in the county, since it was stationed in Dongyang, there have been very few disturbances to the people. Second, it is also because the people in the county have been affected by the war for a long time. Not to mention the intrusion of small groups of thieves. A few years ago The two Yellow Turban incidents that followed made the local people no longer accustomed to war. Therefore, although martial law was imposed in the city, the people in the county did not panic because of it. "Li" looked at the door, pointed, and the daring one approached the soldiers on duty and asked about the reason for the martial law.

Some of the soldiers who were questioned ignored them, and some answered, all for the same reason: the Colonel of the Chinese Army was approaching, so martial law was imposed.

This reason is not wrong. Zhao Yun, the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, is indeed coming today, but the real reason for martial law is not actually this.

The real reason for martial law was because Xun Zhen was about to launch an attack on Xiapi.

Moreover, Zhao Yun is not the only one who is coming today, Xu Zhong and Le Jin are also coming today. —Xu Zhong and Le Jin are from Guangling County, Zhao Yun is from Ling County. Among the three of them, Xu Zhong and Le Jin left earlier. They left Guangling the night before, and Zhao Yun left late last night. I have only left Ling County, but I have already walked more than half of the way, and I will be able to arrive separately before the evening at the latest.

In this battle of attacking Pi and Xu, the main general of the western front was Xu Zhong, and the lieutenant was Le Jin. In addition to the two of them, the main officers who were placed on this front by Xun Zhen were Zhao Yun, Liu Bei, Liu Deng, Jiang Hu, Pan Zhang, Gao Jia, Gao Bing, etc., as well as Zhang Fei of the cavalry army, etc., now, Liu Bei, Liu Deng, etc. have been deployed in Dongyang, or in Lingxian, and Zhang Fei has also brought with him some time ago. A cavalry entered Dongyang, and at the same time, Handan Rong and Shi Shi, who were in charge of logistics transportation and supplies on the western front, were also in place. It can be said that the only thing missing from the "advance to Xiapi" now is Xu Zhong and Xu Zhong. Le Jin, the two main generals and deputy generals, arrived.

As mentioned above, this time the use of troops in Xiapi, that is, the front line in the west, can be divided into two routes, Qizheng and Zhengzheng. Jin and the two were tasked with commanding the main force in Dongyang, while Zhao Yun was tasked with commanding the side divisions in Lingxian County. Therefore, when they heard that Xu Zhong and Le Jin had left Guangling and were approaching the Dongyang front line, Zhao Yun also left Lingxian and came to Dongyang. The reason for this is precisely for the main force and the partial division to hold another military meeting before the war.

There was martial law in Dongyang County, and several barracks outside Dongyang County were also strictly fighting against each other.

There was originally only one barracks outside Dongyang County, namely Liu Bei's military camp. With the arrival of Liu Deng, Zhang Fei, etc., some of these later soldiers and horses were stationed in Liu Bei's camp, temporarily living in the same camp with Liu Bei's troops. Some have built additional camps. So far, there are five military camps around Dongyang County, four infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion.

Of these five military camps, only one is in the east of Dongyang County, and the remaining four are in the west of Dongyang County.

Of the four military camps in the west of Dongyang County, the ones farthest from Dongyang were Liu Deng and Pan Zhang’s camp. Pan Zhang’s troops were few in number, so he was transferred to Dongyang. He begged Xun Zhen to let him be the vanguard of this battle, so Xun Zhen arranged for him and Liu Deng's team to be in the same place. Their camp was about twenty-four or five miles away from Dongyang, and Zhang Fei's was the closest to Dongyang. The cavalry battalion is said to be the closest to Dongyang, and it is also 15 or 6 miles away from Dongyang. Less than 50 miles to the west of Dongyang is Xutai County in the State of Xiapi. That is to say, Liu Deng and Pan Zhang Centaurs are now only twenty miles away from the border of Xiapi, even closer than Dongyang.

Liu Deng and Pan Zhang knew about the arrival of Xu Zhong, Le Jin and Zhao Yun yesterday.

After lunch, Liu Deng looked at the sundial outside the tent and saw that it was past noon, so he ordered his own soldiers to invite Pan Zhang to see him.

Not long after, Pan Zhang came.

"Wen Gui, it's past noon, I'm going to Dongyang County to welcome General Xu and Le Xiang. The barracks matters will be left to you for the time being."

Pan Zhang, clad in armor and a sword on his waist, stood in front of Liu Deng's seat, gave a military salute, and answered loudly, "The captain of the school has invited him to go, and there is Zhang in the camp, so there will be no loss."

- When discussing Dong, in order to boost morale, Xun Zhen once listed seventeen civil and military subordinates as school captains. Then it was over. Until the end of the war, Liu Deng was still a Marquis of Qu Jun. After the war, he was rewarded for his merits. Liu Deng deserved to be promoted.

- Xun Zhen's post-war merit-discussion performance was not as much as the previous "seventeen people were listed as captains in one breath", but it was quite a lot. Besides Liu Deng, there were four other people who were awarded, respectively. It was Chen Wu, Jiang Hu, Chen Rong and Chen Bao. Among them, the three Chen Wu were commended for their military exploits, and Chen Bao was commended for their merits in staying in Guangling. Chen Wu was represented as Colonel Pinglu, Jiang Hu was represented as Colonel Jiangong, Chen Rong was represented as Colonel Anmin, and Chen Bao was represented as Colonel Jianwei. In addition to the troops and horses of the headquarters, Liu Deng and the other four also allocated the troops from Yuzhou that had been acquired from the annexation to them. As for Chen Bao, he was led by the two thousand soldiers originally stationed in Guangling.

- Of course, these soldiers and horses were the soldiers and horses when they were first promoted as captains. Later, Xun Zhen abolished the tribes and only retained the elite of 15,000 or 6,000 people. It is inevitable that the number of soldiers will decrease, and now there are thousands or hundreds of soldiers and horses.

- If the census during the meeting of the board of directors is called the first citation, and the citation of the empress of the board of directors is called the second stature, then between the "after the arraignment of the director" and "before the war", the Xun Zhen carried out some citations one after another. These citations can be summarized as the third citations. The third citations were mainly aimed at the civil servants, and they were within the scope of the civil servants. The purpose is firstly to attract talents, and secondly, to enable these civil servants who have been honored to be able to perform their responsibilities in a better way. Before and after the third election, a total of seven people have been honored. They are: Zhengyi Captain Zhang Hong, Zanjun Captain Chen Qun, Diannong Captain Yao Sheng, Tuntian Captain Zao Zhi, Du Branch Captain Qin Song, Duye Captain Pu Hu, and Jiang, who was changed to High Production Captain birds.

- Among these seven people, Zhang Hong was the latest to be put under Xun Zhen's account, Chen Qun was in charge of military resources, Yao Sheng was in charge of agricultural affairs in the county, Zao Zhi was promoted from the position of Sima of the field, assisting Jiang Qinzhang in fielding, Qin Song was in charge of the county capital, and Puhu was in charge of the smelting of weapons.

- Adding up the three citations, Xun Zhen has a total of twenty-nine civil and military commanders in his residence and under his tent.

Liu Deng is now the captain of the school, and Pan Zhang is now the Sima of the other department. In the room between the two, Liu Deng is the honorable person. Therefore, Liu Deng is the one who went to Dongyang to participate in the military conference. Pan Zhang needs to stay in the camp. After all, this place is too close to the country of Xiapi. There must be no one in the camp.

Liu Deng and Pan Zhang were both rough-hearted, and both of them had courage. During the few days they lived together in the camp, they couldn't say they were very affectionate with each other, but they were able to get along.

Liu Deng got up from the table, went outside the tent, called his own soldiers to prepare horses, and Pan Zhang followed him.

When the horses were brought in, they walked to Yuanmen, Liu Deng got on his horse, and Pan Zhang, who was on the side of the horse, smiled and said, "General Xu and Le Xiang are coming from the prefecture, I Wen Zilong will come to Dongyang today, and I want to come to this military meeting. It must be discussing the matter of advancing troops to Xiapi...Wen Gui, you have already asked the lord to fight and be the vanguard. This time, you will make great achievements with your bravery. When the battle is over, you and I may be seated together. And sit!"

"Sit side by side", UU Reading www.uukanshu.com means that the seats of the two are not divided. This is Liu Deng wishing Pan Zhang's promotion after the war.

Pan Zhang was arrogant and brave, and had this expectation in his heart. Hearing Liu Deng's words, he knew that Liu Deng was Xun Zhen's favorite general, but he was not arrogant. Is it within your reach?"

Liu Deng laughed, nodded at Pan Zhang, and said with a smile, "Too modest!"

He saluted on the horse, then said goodbye to Pan Zhang for a while, took a few personal soldiers and entourages, and went straight to Dongyang.

Watching Liu Dengyuan go, Pan Zhang returned to the camp and returned to his tent. While ordering the soldiers to be on guard, he ordered the soldiers to be sent in.

"Soldiers" are ordnance, so the military book is not a roster of soldiers, but a book that records the ordnance of the headquarters.

Pan Zhang agreed with Liu Deng's judgment, and also believed that the arrival of Xu Zhong, Le Jin, and Zhao Yun must mean that the attack on Xiapi was about to start. There is a loss.

He didn't mention Pan Zhang, but only Liu Deng. After leaving the barracks, he went all the way east and arrived outside Dongyang County in less than an hour.
