When the Yellow Turbans rioted, Liu Hong wanted to mobilize various troops to suppress it.

Because He Jin donated money to recruit troops and prepare supplies for the army, he was awarded the rank of general by Liu Hong. He led five battalions of elite soldiers to garrison Duting and guard Luoyang. At this point, He Jin had the military power and had unparalleled prestige in the army.

After three days of gathering troops, the Yellow Turban bandits have become a force. If the commanders from various places have formed an army, they will lead their troops to advance directly towards Luoyang.

Judging from the march route of the Yellow Turban troops, it is obvious that Zhang Jiao did not intend to start a peasant uprising with the Eastern Han Dynasty with less than 400,000 troops.

Instead, they prepared to concentrate their forces and launch a surprise attack on the imperial city of Luoyang, trying to reach Luoyang and behead the royal family before the Han army could react.

Regardless of whether it broke out or gathered together, the Yellow Turban Uprising was indeed swift and violent.

But similarly, everyone from the Luoyang royal family to the local aristocratic families were unusually quick in facing this sudden troop recruitment.

Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun, three warlike ministers in the court, were ordered by Liu Hong to go out to suppress the chaos in various places.

To the north of Luoyang, Lu Zhishan suppressed the troops and, as the commander of the North Road, led his troops across Henan and directly into Jizhou. Forcing Zhang Jiao to return to the army, the Jizhou Yellow Turbans gathered in the Julu area of ​​​​Guangzong to prepare for war in anticipation of Lu Zhi's main army.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's troops left Hulao and rushed to the east of Luoyang to conquer and suppress the Yuzhou and Yanzhou Yellow Turban troops.

To the east of Hulao is a vast plain area. The Yellow Turbans from the two states gathered hundreds of thousands of people. With the Yingchuan and Songyue Mountains as their support, the Yellow Turbans gathered their troops in Changshe, but they could no longer invade westward.

Nowadays, the three late Han Dynasty veterans are really depressed because Liu Hong's call to serve the country and the people has caused the local Yongqu tribes to have no discipline at all and join the official army unscrupulously.

Who has ever seen a coach who has to count the number of troops he has every day after going on an expedition?

Who has ever seen an army that is about to go into battle but has to make adjustments to lower-level commanders and officers every day?

The crusade legion indeed raised troops quickly, but at the beginning of this campaign, the three veteran generals did not feel any enthusiasm and passion. They spent the whole day in piles of documents and statistics.

The baggage and military rations can still be handed over to the lower officials and returned to the headquarters, but the war auxiliary troops, who can range from dozens to thousands, and even prepare their own military rations for war preparations, tell me, do you want it or not?

There was His Majesty the Emperor's banner in front of them, and most of these assisting troops were led by children of aristocratic families. In addition, there were also teams drawn by wealthy and prosperous families, and even some rangers who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

This crusade really did not cost the court much money and food, but when it came to the first battle with the Yellow Turbans, the deployment of the army was not even as rigorous and standardized as those of the Yellow Turbans.

Nowadays, Lu Zhi and the three of them swim in the ocean of official documents and data every day, and they want to jump and scold them.

Liu Cang wanted to go to Zhuoxian County. He originally wanted to go with Lu Zhi's army and see if he could get some military exploits on the way.

After looking at the situation in the army, are you talking nonsense? Lu Zhi lost his straight face when he looked at him. Lu Zhi was about to wave to him kindly with the official military report.

Well, not to mention Liu Cang, even Zou Jing, who wanted to recruit troops to Youzhou and had the same idea as Liu Cang, immediately left the main army and went straight into the Taihang Mountains.

"Military affairs are urgent, Mr. Lu, take care, I'll take the first step~!"

Well, Liu Cang and Zou Jing are running away, what the hell, the Yellow Turbans, how can conscription be a piece of cake, they have to go through the mountains and ridges, they should take shortcuts~!

Liu Cang was traveling with Zou Jing. Is it true that Liu Cang was following Zou Jing? But Liu Cang had no military position and was a righteous man who took it upon himself to fight against thieves.

This has to be said that Liu Hong's little calculation was exquisite. The Yellow Turbans captured the city and killed many local officials. However, Liu Hong called on the world to crusade against the Yellow Turbans on his own initiative.

As for military and official positions, they can be obtained first. After completing the Yellow Turbans, they will be rewarded based on their merits and then the vacancies will be made available. Doesn't this save another amount of 'expense'?

Zou Jing was an official and Liu Cang was a civilian, but there was no way to say that Liu Cang was fooling around with Zou Jing. The key was that Liu Cang also had 200 cavalry, but Zou Jing was a mere commander.

Alas~, this is another sad story, and it is Liu Hong’s fault.

In his early years, Zou Jing served as a Polu captain and fought at the border, so he was quite familiar with Youzhou.

Now, Zou Jing is the Lieutenant Commander of the Northern Army in charge of the Northern Army's Suwei Camp.

The Northern Army refers to the 5th Battalion of the Northern Army, but the Suwei Battalion and the Yueqi Battalion led by Zhang Feng are not the same thing.

The five battalions of Tunqi, Yueqi, Changshui, Infantry, and Shesheng each have their own lieutenants. They command the fifth battalion of the Forbidden Army. In addition to guarding the imperial city, they are also responsible for external campaigns.

Zou Jing, a lieutenant of the Northern Army, selected a group of elites from the Northern Army to be supervised by him. This group of elites was called the Suwei camp. Their function was to protect the palace. Under normal circumstances, anything happened in the outer city of Luoyang.

Don't let them take care of it.

Later generations often confused the Northern Army with the Northern Army's Suwei, making people confused about the relationship between the Northern Army's Zhonghou and the Fifth Battalion Colonel.

Essentially, the two have nothing to do with each other. The Northern Army Zhonghou is said to be the commander of the Fifth Battalion Suwei, but in fact the rank is much lower than that of the Fifth Battalion Colonel. The Northern Army and Suwei Camp are probably the Han Imperial Guards and the Imperial Imperial Guards.

the difference.

As for some experts in later generations who said that the number of forbidden troops in the fifth battalion of the Han Dynasty was more than 3,000, haha.

Because Zou Jing was familiar with the situation in Youzhou, he was sent out by Liu Hong to recruit troops.

Other prefectures and counties also sent people. On the one hand, they were fighting against the Yellow Turbans. On the other hand, they seemed to want to select elite soldiers to take back to Luoyang and serve as the forbidden army.

This is probably because Liu Hong is not willing to let He Jin, the new general, take over the military power. Liu Cang estimates that he has already begun to think about the matter of the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan.

Just let Zou Jing recruit troops and write the recruitment list. The power has been granted, and the rest depends on Zou Jing's own ability.

Firstly, he refused to give money, and secondly, he refused to give anyone, so he ordered local officials to cooperate. Then, Zou Jing wanted to scold his mother but did not dare to. Perhaps he could only sigh in his heart: 'Why don't we make things so perfect~!'

The two of them walked all the way, and the trivial matters were over on the way. The city of Zhao State was occupied, and the Yellow Turbans had a huge momentum. Liu Cang led his troops non-stop. Two hundred cavalry avoided the Yellow Turbans and escaped from the Zhao State. After arriving at Changshan, the number of Yellow Turban rebels was obviously much smaller.

.

Now, if the Jizhou Yellow Turbans have not occupied the city, they are all concentrating in the direction of Guangzong. They arrived at the border of Gaoyang without any danger. Liu Cang wanted to go to Zhuojun, while Zou Jing planned to go to Guangyang first, and first went to the governor's office to confirm his position.

identity function.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is no other way, the shameless commander, why should you go to an official like the governor first to make things happen?

The two of them separated at Gaoyang, and Liu Cang lent Zou Jing a hundred cavalrymen "to increase the number of troops". The dignified Northern Army Lieutenant was almost moved to tears on the spot.

Anyway, Zou Jing came here to write recruitment notices all over the city and county, and agreed to meet up in Zhuo County later, and the two of them led their troops and went their separate ways.

When leaving Jizhou, entering Youzhou, and Zhuojun, although the atmosphere of vigilance among the people can be clearly felt, the people's livelihood has not been greatly affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

At most, there are more forts in villages, and city inspections are a bit stricter than before.

It is said that the Yellow Turban army gathered in the Hejian and Renqiu areas, and seemed to have the intention of invading the border of Youzhou. There were many traveling merchants stationed in Youzhou County. Wherever Liu Cang passed, what he saw and heard made the Han people have a lot of hatred for the Yellow Turbans.

There is disgust and resistance.

After riding a bicycle to Lousang, the five-meter stone wall seemed to have turned Lousang into a genuine dock. Liu Cang came from the east, and the prototype of the dock had also been built in the East Village.

The two villages stand at the corner, with a smooth road connecting them. It seems that the relationship between the two villages is much closer now than when Liu Cang left.

Liu Cang's return attracted a flurry of greetings and inquiries from the villagers, and he sent letters and money to the homes of the ten people of the same clan who had followed him earlier.

Liu Cang's station did not intend to engage in a collective life of big pot rice. He wanted to reorganize the servants into villages and establish clans to multiply. As the land for growing food crops has not yet been reclaimed, Liu Cang will regularly give them some money and grain according to their abilities and functions.

After entering the village to rest his horse, there was nothing unusual in the turtle pond. This time, Liu Cang only had a flying bear with him. He sent the flying bear to Dongshan to look for the badgers. Liu Cang spent a while beating the water before he called Banzhuan out of the turtle pond.

After cleaning the turtle pond and loading the turtle onto the truck, Liu Cang ordered Pan Feng to lead a team and Baiqi to escort the turtle back to Luoyang while the Yellow Turbans were still scattered and gathering. Later, he asked Pan Feng to go find Huangfu Song and obey his orders.

Maybe it won't be long before a large group of Yellow Turbans invades Zhuo County. Now that they are back, he has no intention of letting go of this victory.
