Yang Xuanmo and Cai Yan, who had sworn an oath of love, separated. Cai Yan's departure also made Yang Xuanmo temporarily fall into lovesickness. After feeling sad for a while, Yang Xuanmo began to work hard to heal. Yang Xuanmo sent an envoy with his letter to Wuchuan City to discuss with Wang Meng. First, he began to reorganize his own army. Now Yang Xuanmo's Anbei Protectorate has three armies, one is Guanjuejin's Shangmu Army led by Xu Huang, one is the Mountain Shaking Army, and the other is the Begging Army. Yang Xuanmo decided to set up a Beifu Army in addition to these three armies. The Beifu Army was composed of two parts. One was the outstanding personnel of the Begging Army and the begging soldiers who wanted absolute loyalty and loyalty to the Anbei Protectorate. obey. The second is to select strong and grateful people from the slaves contributed by the northern nomads. The number of Beifu soldiers composed of these two types of people was set at 10,000.
There are three teams under the Shanshan Army. Gao Shun is in charge of the trapped camp, Yang Xuanba is in charge of the Tiger Roar Camp, and Gao Aocao is in charge of the forward camp. The main general is still Xiong Kuohai, and his deputy is Pei Yuanqing. Pei Yuanqing was temporarily seconded to Yang Xuanmo. The Shanshan Army has a strength of 20,000.
The begging army originally consisted of 60,000 people divided into six brigades, with Ma Yuan as the chief general and Cen Peng as the deputy general. From now on, the beggar army will start to implement the strategy of supporting war with war, and they cannot let these people idle. Ma Yuan is going to lead this group of hungry wolves to thresh grain and grass in the north. Yang Xuanmo ordered, "I don't care how you fight. While training elite soldiers, you also need to feed these wild wolves and harass the nomadic tribes in the north. I only want 30% of the spoils. At the same time, don't use the banner of the Anbei Protectorate. Pay attention to the impact." . The beggar army must target all foreign races and not allow them to grow stronger, nor can they be eliminated. Control this speed."
The general's camp stepped up the production of weapons, armor, bows and crossbows, and also continued to accelerate the research and development of new equipment. Yang Xuanmo drew a new type of knife based on Cen Peng's three-pointed two-edged sword combined with the horse-killing sword. Yang Xuanmo called it Mo Dao, and Yang Xuanmo drew The sketches of the pedals and saddle were also handed over to Ma Jun, the general in charge of the camp. It is classified as a top military secret and is strictly prohibited from being spread to outsiders. The outer perimeter of the general camp will be monitored by the newly established Tianshen.
Yang Xuanmo and Wang Meng agreed that in the future, foreigners who surrendered or were captured and surrendered would be treated the same as those in the Beggar Army. They must go through three stages: waiting for an examination, returning, and being a formal member of the Shanshan Army. After the examination, they would be arranged to swear an oath of allegiance to the Shanshan Army. , and then used special artifacts to make a mark on the back with the characters "Shake the Mountain Mighty, Follow Us to the Death".
Wang Meng was still worried about the foreigners who had surrendered, but he didn't expect Yang Xuanmo to solve it directly. A stroke of genius is not an exaggeration.
Twenty thousand people from the Shanshan Army were stationed in Wuchuan City. Excluding the regular army from the Beggar Army, there were tens of thousands of slaves evenly distributed among the six towns. Corresponding management personnel have been assigned. There were so many captured cattle and sheep that these slaves could graze.
Wuchuan is located in a grassland that is not suitable for farming in the Central Plains, but the rich horse resources can be exchanged for a continuous supply of iron, salt, grain and other materials. All transactions are under the unified control of Wang Mang, and Tianyan personnel are deployed to collect intelligence from all parties.
Yang Xuanmo wrote a letter to Xu Huang detailing his future plans.
"Second brother, you have a younger brother and sister. She is also the daughter of the contemporary great scholar Cai Yong. However, it is not easy to become him. Three conditions need to be met. I have to agree. I hope that the second brother will understand the difficulty of the third brother."
Xu Huang took the letter from Yang Xuanmo and said to Hao Zhao: "The third brother is too far-sighted. It is a good thing to take a wife. Although the second brother hates this court, he cannot let the third brother miss a good match because of this. The third brother is both a brother and a master." , and even specifically explained to me how embarrassing it was for me.”
"It is gratifying that the daughter of a contemporary great scholar who is the hero of our lord is also a perfect match."
"Since I formed an army of 10,000 people, I have never experienced the test of the battlefield. Although the training is rigorous, I can't help but feel unsure. I plan to conquer the large group of bandits nearby, and I can't let my brother and the others compete with us. "
Xu Huang led the Shangmu army to conquer the bandits, leaving Hao Zhao to guard the mountain stronghold. Daniu, Gou Shengzi, Er Gou, and Shi Tou also all have their own new names. Daniu's surname is Zhou Xuhuang and he named him Zhou Tai, Er Gou is called Xu Sheng, Gou Shengzi is named Ding Feng, and Shi Tou is named Lu Meng. All four are now leading battalion officers. Xu Huang led Zhou Tai, Ding Feng, Xu Sheng, and Lu Meng to conquer another group of bandits located in the south of Luliang Mountain. Zhang Man became the big leader, and Sun Qing, Wang Dang, and Du Chang were promoted to Xiao Shuai. The remnants of the Yellow Turban.
Three days later, Xu Huang led five thousand soldiers and horses to the foot of Tianlang Village and sent people to call for formation.
"Is there anyone out of breath on the mountain? One of them came out. We, the second leader of Jinding Village, came to pay homage to the mountain."
A quarter of an hour later, only three gunshots were heard on the mountain, and a group of people rushed out of Tianlang Village. There were probably more than a thousand people. The leaders were wearing helmets and carrying armor. Their minions were wearing everything and had strange weapons. .
Xu Huang urged his horse on his hip, held up the Bagua Jinzhuan Mountain Yue with one hand, and came to the battlefield between the two armies.
Tianlang Village Dazhai advocated Manchester City and said loudly: "I don't know what Mr. Xu Er has to do to come to our Tianlang Village?"
"Without him, I will just destroy you."
The heads of Tianlang Village were so angry that they almost went crazy. "Why are you destroying us? Who gave you the courage? He is so fucking overbearing. We are all bandits who dominate the mountain. What do you want to do? You are an official and a soldier."
Xu Huang was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and said directly: "If you are not convinced, feel free to come. I will not refuse anyone who comes today."
Upon hearing this, Sun Qing, the little leader of Tianlang Village, slapped his horse and brandished his sword and went straight for Xu Huang. Xu Huang waved the Eight Trigrams Golden Seal Opening Mountain Yue with one hand and struck the axe, which opened the world, and went straight to Sun Qing's top door. Sun Qing held the iron doorbolt across his body and tried to fight out, but Sun Qing thought too simply. Xu Huang's big ax split Sun Qing's sword shaft like a bamboo, and the Bagua Jinzhuan mountain ax continued to split Sun Qing's head into two pieces. Two halves. The war horse carried the corpse with its head split in two and walked away.
The leaders of Tianlang Village took a breath of cold air. Xu Huang continued to challenge Wang Dang, and the two leaders Du Chang came out. Wang Dang had the best relationship with Sun Qing among all the village leaders. Wang Dang, who was eager for revenge, urged the cooked copper stick in his horse's hand to hang the sound of wind and go straight to Xu Huang. Xu Huang swung his big ax to parry, and the sound of the ax and stick clashing made the ears of the two groups of men and horses buzz.
"Young man is indeed very strong. If you surrender to me, I can protect you from death."
"Bah, fuck your grandma, I will never surrender even if I die."
"Okay, then go die."
The two horses circled for five or six rounds. The two horses made a mistake and kicked Xu Huang, Bagua Jinzhuan and Kaishan Yue, and used Rhinoceros Mochizuki to kill Wang Dang with his backhand.
When Du Chang saw that Wang Dang had been killed, he turned his horse and ran back. Xu Huang took out his bow and arrow without saying a word and shot Du Chang to death with one arrow. The big leader of Tianlang Village raised his horns and looked bad. If you turn your horse, you have to go back to the village. Suddenly a group of men and horses emerged from behind. The leader of the group was a general who went into battle shirtless. He was holding a big sword and slashed at everyone he encountered. He was extremely brave.
"Zhou Tai is here, whoever surrenders will avoid death."
In the blink of an eye, most of the minions in the village were killed, and the rest knelt down and surrendered. Zhang Niujiao was thinking about whether to escape or surrender. There were killing cries from the back of Tianlang Village, and fire broke out everywhere. Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, and Lu Meng came out from the back mountain to sneak attack on Tianlang Village. Seeing that the situation was over, Zhang Niujiao had no choice but to dismount and surrender with Tao Sheng.
After breaking through Tianlang Village, they seized 50,000 jins of grain, 6,000 jins of pig iron, more than 1,000 jins of gold and silver, and captured 1,500 people. It was a great victory.
Xu Huang selected 300 strong men to be incorporated into the baggage train, and they would be incorporated into the upper curtain army after passing the inspection. Zhang Niujiao and Tao Sheng listened under the tent. Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, and Lu Meng have become more and more understanding through actual cooperation.
Shangmu's army gradually eliminated all the bandit forces in Luliang Mountain, and Guanjuejin, the road south from Bingzhou, was completely in his hands.
