"This is the rebel army? This is actually the rebel army?"
At this time, Zou Jing looked at Guan Yu and the thousands of rebels under his command who were walking slowly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Thousands of rebels, I can't say how distinctive their armor is, but at least they have some appearance.
It was completely different from the rebels he had seen before who looked like farmers who had changed their clothes.
This difference is not only due to the fact that the rebels under Guan Yu were supplemented by the arsenals of the Zhao family of Daijun and the Yamen of Daijunfu, but also because of their spirit...
The soldiers were trained by Guan Yu, and their retreat was filled by Gongsun Zhu.
Under the temptation of the land, the fields and even the mother-in-law, the rebels under Guan Yu can't say that they have changed their appearance, but at least they are useful.
And this Zou Jing... looking at the rebel army in front of him that should belong to his command, he didn't know what to say.
He could only open his mouth a few times, and then sighed silently.
"Why...."
A helpless sigh expressed his helplessness at this time.
The guard beside him seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, he saw Zou Jing waving his hands.
Zou Jing knew very well that since Gongsun Zhu protected Liu Bei like that before, it was to protect Liu Bei's military power.
He didn't know before, but now that he knows, he can't say anything more.
After all...he didn't want to fall out with Gongsun Zhu at this time.
In this short period of time, he had interacted with the uncle and nephew from the Gongsun family a lot, and he knew some of their characters very well.
To put it mildly, they treated the people really well, at least usually quite well, but over time Zou Jing also came to know how crazy they were.
If the time comes, I'm afraid Gongsun Zhu won't be stingy about letting his subordinates wear yellow scarves on their heads.
Then he took advantage of a dark and windy night to stab them. Why would he fall out with them?
After Zou Jing said nothing more, Gongsun Zhu naturally breathed a sigh of relief. He needed military power now, and of course he would not give up Liu Bei's army.
Especially now Liu Bei's thoughts are very pure. He wants to get ahead, but he doesn't want to... dominate.
This is crucial to Gongsun Zhu.
Therefore, when he saw how sensible Zou Jing was, he smiled in his heart, and he didn't mind giving this guy some credit so that he could get through the current difficulties.
The war in Guangping County is actually over.
Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, and Liu Wei, the governor of Guangping County, were killed one after another at the hands of the Yellow Turban rebels. From now on, Youzhou will no longer have soldiers who can confront the Yellow Turbans head-on.
But this was all before Gongsun Zhu appeared.
After reuniting with Guan Yu, Gongsun Zhu also took advantage of this time to take Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to clean up the Yellow Turbans around Guangyang County, creating a relatively safe area for himself.
Then he deliberately let go of part of the defeated Yellow Turban Army....
Regarding Gongsun Zhu's actions, Liu Bei initially felt that Gongsun Zhu had some benevolence and righteousness in his heart and was unwilling to kill excessively.
but...
"You are lucky. We in Guangyang City still have tens of thousands of stones of food. This cannot support the entire Guangping County, but it is enough to feed ourselves.
After you eat these meals... go find other ways to survive as soon as possible. "
Outside Guangyang County, "grain carts" were pulled in one after another from the outside. Some soldiers even accidentally knocked over the grain carts, and large amounts of grain were immediately scattered out of the carts.
Looking at the pieces of food, countless refugees immediately turned red-eyed.
Perhaps in order to calm the excitement of the people, or perhaps in order to prevent his conscience from being condemned, Gongsun Zhu ordered people to provide porridge outside the city that day.
Help the passing people, but only once.
In Gongsun Zhu's words, they don't have enough food and grass, and they have to use it for the army!
The refugees didn't care about this reason, and even sneered at it, but when hundreds of people wanted to take advantage of the large number of refugees to do something.
Gongsun Zhu directly led people to capture them, then stripped their skins and dropped them on the city wall.
The refugees with no skin, only flesh and blood and screams were floating in the wind on the city wall. This scene was more heartwarming than any words.
All the refugees put away their thoughts that they shouldn't have.
Even Liu Bei, after seeing this scene, could only criticize Gongsun Zhu for several days, saying that he was too murderous and that what he did was too cruel.
But...he had no intention of putting the person down.
Kindness doesn't mean stupid, he just doesn't want to get involved.
However, as these refugees came and went, the news that Guangyang County had tens of thousands of shi of food spread, and the entire Yellow Turban Army in Guangping County began to take action.
Tens of thousands of kilo of food, this is just a drop in the bucket for all the Yellow Turban Army.
But for some of the small troops of the Yellow Turban Army who were so hungry that they were about to eat people, this was simply a huge temptation.
Therefore, groups of Yellow Turban rebels and bandits gathered together with everyone, and came towards Guangyang County in groups.
There is no doubt about their purpose!
Seize food.
And Gongsun Zhu had no doubt when he saw them.
"kill!"
The cavalry surrounded them on both sides, and Guan Yu led the army to defeat them head-on.
The art of war is easy to learn, but the formation is simple and easy to understand once you understand it. At this time, Gongsun Zhu and Guan Yu were simply using these Yellow Turbans from Guangping County to hone their troops.
And it's becoming more and more familiar.
After hearing the news, the Yellow Turban Army in Guangping County sent them one after another almost like crazy.
Gongsun Zhu and Guan Yu also understood the art of war more and more thoroughly during the killings. Of course... they also became more and more tired.
Fortunately, they still have two generals, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.
Gongsun Zhu said that the method of "fighting and training" was called "fighting and training". With the cooperation of several people, they defeated tens of thousands of bandits from Guangping County in half a month.
They wiped out most of the newly growing Yellow Turban Army.
When they discovered Guangping County...and even the other Yellow Turbans behind them finally reacted and started to gather together.
Gongsun Zhu also immediately asked people to gather all the soldiers and horses, and at the same time no longer distributed any food and grass.
"Almost...this is the beginning of the decisive battle."
Looking at the excited soldiers behind him, Gongsun Zhu was also very excited.
At the same time, he looked at Tian Yu who was transferred to his side again and asked softly.
"Have you already contacted the person you were asked to contact?"
"Don't worry, Lieutenant Gongsun, we have contacted Na Tianchou, and he is willing to help us at the critical moment!"
After Tian Yu heard Gongsun Zhu's question, he immediately bowed to Gongsun Zhu and saluted, but after saying these words, he continued speaking softly to Gongsun Zhu.
"Captain Gongsun, it's not that the general is too talkative. That Tian Chou... is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if he has some reputation in this county, he is nothing more than that.
At fifteen or sixteen years old...can he really be able to help me?
In this troubled world, I'm afraid he can't even protect his own family. "
When Tian Yu said these words, he was obviously not convinced, and... it was very obvious.
Seeing Tian Yu's appearance, Gongsun Zhu couldn't help but laugh, and then shook his head helplessly.
"You guy...it is inevitable that Tian Chou will not be able to protect his family. Who can be immune to the chaos in this world?
But now that I am waiting in front, he is trying to find a way to help me wait on the flank. With his ability and the power of his family at this time, he can still do it.
As for age... fifteen or sixteen years old is indeed a bit young.
but..."
Gongsun Zhu couldn't help but glance at Tian Yu at this time. Although Tian Yu was wearing armor, he held his head high and chest out every day, looking like he was determined to be a general.
But those years still made him look quite immature.
"I said, Guorang, your age is not much different from that of Tian Chou.
And...it's hard to say who is bigger, Tian Guorang or Tian Zitai! "
