There are more than 10,000 wolf cavalry, 50,000 county soldiers, 20,000 soldiers returning south, plus the auxiliary troops responsible for logistics, it can be said that the army is 200,000.
As for the Yellow Turban thieves who attacked Taiyuan and other places, they probably numbered no less than 300,000.
Even the people in the head of Guizhou who don't know how to fight know that this kind of large-scale battle must not be fought in a swarm of swarms, but must be divided up in advance.
Because of this, Ding Yuan gathered generals to discuss matters this time, based on the intelligence sent by Lu Bu, analyzed the situation, and arranged the order of the army's advance.
"The end will come later, my lord, please forgive me."
At this time, Lu Li opened the curtain, and under the watchful eyes of the generals, he walked side by side to the empty seat with Zhao Yun. He said he wanted to apologize, but his steps were extremely brisk and the corners of his mouth could not stop rising, as if he knew about some great happy event. .
Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said, "Dong Gong."
"Hahaha, what's wrong?"
Ding Yuan saw Lu Li smiling and understood immediately. He happened to see a wine stain on Zhao Yun's sleeves and robe, and couldn't help but joked: "It's my fault that I disturbed you while you were drinking."
"When the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who caused rebellion have been pacified, I will host a banquet in honor of the generals, and I will ask the righteous men to spare no expense in honoring them."
"If you haven't accomplished anything yet, how can you have the dignity to attend the celebration banquet organized by Ding Gong?" Zhao Yun looked solemn and said with clasped hands: "If Ding Gong doesn't mind, Yun is willing to lead Qianqi as the vanguard to clear the way for the army."
From the place of loyalty.
In order to win the victory, he personally led the soldiers to rob the camp, regardless of the cost of his wealth, to guard the Han Dynasty and protect the peace of the country. This is loyalty.
Traveling thousands of miles to rescue Zhang Yi, although it backfired and someone secretly opened the city and the governor was killed, this loyalty could not be buried.
In Zhao Yun's view, Ding Yuan can indeed be called the Lord of Ming.
"Hahaha, I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear!"
Ding Yuan's hearty laughter sounded in the camp.
Zhang Liao on the side was also delighted. Heroes cherish heroes. This is true, just like when he met Lu Li.
Frankly speaking, as the first person to know Zhao Yun's decision, Lu Li still felt unsteady in his steps.
Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, plus the elite wolf cavalry and Bingzhou soldiers, who in the world can compete with them?
The same was true for the other generals. They were not as far ahead as Lu Li thought. They just felt that with the addition of a fierce general in the army, they would be more relaxed when suppressing the Yellow Turban thieves, with sincere smiles on their faces.
In an instant, the unique solemn atmosphere before the war was gone.
However, military information must not be delayed.
Lu Bu said in the letter:
Seeing no support for a long time, the morale of the local garrison was extremely weak. Most of the land in Hedong County was lost. The situation in Taiyuan County was slightly better, but it was not optimistic. There was a traitor named Zhou Tian who, after killing Shangguan, took the initiative to collude with the Qiang people. , and became an ally with the Yellow Turban thief Qu Shuai Guo Tai, claiming to have an army of 50,000, and had sent troops from Shilou in Xihe County to attack Taiyuan eastward.
Therefore, Ding Yuan decided to launch a battle and use the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves to stabilize the situation in Bingzhou.
Considering that this battle took place inside Bingzhou, the soldiers were familiar with the environment and did not need to act together as before. The confident Ding Yuan directly divided the troops except the baggage troops into four groups: dividing the troops, Xingjun, Heijun, Army.
As the name suggests, the army is the main offensive force.
The Hei army set out ahead of the main army, walking a hundred miles in front of the main army, bringing three days of rations with them, and making an appointment for a battle time. When the time came, they would have a big dinner and enter the battle-ready state.
The Xing army set out ahead of the Hei army, a hundred miles away from the Hei army, and brought six days' rations with them. They were responsible for investigating the situation and took the lead in reuniting with the large forces staying in the south.
If the troops are divided to occupy key points, the military advantage will be pursued northward. That is, the troops need to be divided into key points in advance. Firstly, it is easier to win when the army is fighting. Secondly, the troops can be commanded to quickly pursue the fleeing enemy. .
"Where is Zhao Yun?"
To show his attention, Ding Yuan took the lead in calling his name.
"The end will be here."
Zhao Yun calmed down his expression and stepped out from the crowd.
"Shilou City has high walls and thick walls, and it is located in an important border area. If you want to defeat the bandits in this battle, you must first cut off their retreat. You lead a thousand cavalry and go around the Qiang territory."
Perhaps he was worried about Zhao Yunchu getting involved in the army, so Ding Yuan explained kindly: "The Qiang people rob the border every year, and this time they will definitely take advantage of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans to cause trouble and go deep into the city, without caring about their own territory behind them. "
"The last general takes orders."
Zhao Yun seemed very adaptable. After accepting the military order, he immediately stood up and returned to his original position.
Seeing this, Ding Yuan did not hesitate, tilted his head and said, "Where is General Yamen Lu Li?"
————————
(anti-theft part)
The electric bell rang.
Lu Li walked into the examination room and found his seat according to the prompts on the blackboard. He silently took out his ID card, admission ticket, 2B pencil and other items from the transparent bag and waited patiently.
"Please invigilate the teacher to distribute the test papers and answer sheets, and guide the candidates to correctly fill in the school, name and admission ticket number."
A prompt sounded from the radio, but the empty lecture theater remained silent.
Lu Li, who prides himself on being calm, felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, but talking was taboo during the exam, so it was normal to be quiet.
Take a deep breath...don't be nervous...just treat it as a mock exam...
Unfortunately, the hand holding the pen is still a little shaky.
At this time, the invigilator came to Lu Li's side and handed over the test paper without saying a word——
The 9th Higher Warlock Academy Admissions Global Unified Examination (Volume I)
The black title on the first page of the test paper was clear and eye-catching. Lu Li rubbed the corners of his eyes, thinking that he was hallucinating due to being too nervous.
this? There's a typographical error!
Obviously, the title remains unchanged.
"Teacher, I..."
Lu Li raised his head and subconsciously wanted to ask the invigilator for feedback and see if he could get a new test paper.
In sight, a slender hand stretched out and pasted the barcode: "Don't worry, it won't affect your normal exam."
The pretty female invigilator said she didn't care at all and continued to walk towards the next candidate.
Whoever printed the test paper had such a big mistake? Aren't you afraid of being held accountable?
Cursing his luck secretly, Lu Li tried to move his gaze downwards and continued to read the test paper.
Precautions:
This exam is divided into two parts, Volume I and Volume II, with a total of ten pages. Volume I is a multiple-choice question, and Volume II is a written examination. The full score is 120 points. The examination lasts for 5 days.
5 days?
Play a prank!
Lu Li felt that he was being tricked, because in his understanding, it was extremely rare for test papers to have missing prints or missing pages, let alone this kind of situation.
"This exam has begun, and candidates have begun to answer their papers."
At this time, the beep sounded again, and the rustling sound coming from behind made Lu Li force himself to calm down and return his attention to the test questions.
