The wind in July is hotter than the wind in June, and a vague sense of chill fills the sky.
On a wall of Jingjing City, Zhang Ji and Yu Jin were sitting comfortably on the pavilion facing the hot wind blowing by.
"The big noble families in the city really have a profound background. They even presented the three-day banquet for the whole army without the slightest regret!" Zhang Ji said with emotion.
"Haha...those guys are also drinking the blood of the people of the world!" Yu Jin sneered.
"Moreover, they dare to complain? Prefect Dong is the emperor's army. Recovering Jingjing City is a great achievement. Those nobles are still safe and sound in the city occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. If Prefect Dong finds an excuse to kill them, so will they. A mute cannot tell how hard it is to eat Coptis chinensis." Yu Jin said quietly.
"The Yellow Turban Army did not attack them, probably for the sake of the world. If they attacked the Yellow Turban Army, it would be justice, but if they did not attack, it would also be a sin. It was because Dong Taishou occupied this point that he opened the lion's mouth so wide. Now the Yellow Turban Army is defeated. , our officers and soldiers are in charge, if they dare to attack us, they are treason!"
"They're in a dilemma!"
"Moreover, the Xiliang army's rampage in the city also scared them. Secretly, they must have bribed Governor Dong and Military Advisor Li Ru early!"
"Brother Wen Ze's insights are indeed unique!" Zhang Ji couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.
Yu Jin's insights were quite profound, which made him deeply moved.
"Wen Ze, I heard from Military Advisor Li Ru that you took the initiative to ask for a battle and led your troops to raid Zhending City?" Zhang Jin asked in a solemn voice.
"Yes! After two days of rest and the food and grass are ready, we will march to Zhending, and then go around and attack Lingshou City with you." Yu Jin nodded.
After the fortress city of Jingjing City was captured, the city of Changshan Kingdom could basically travel unhindered. Even if you don't take the official road, there will be some small roads leading to Zhending, Gaoyi and other cities.
"It's a pity that we don't have a share in this!" Zhang Ji whispered.
Yu Jin smiled softly when he heard the words. He knew what Zhang Ji meant.
Because his status in Dong Zhuo's army was not high, he basically did not have the chance to lead the army. Although Hua Xiong, Li Jue, Guo Si and others killed tens of thousands of elites, their status in Dong Zhuo's heart was still not reduced. The title of commanding the army still rests with them.
"Brother Zhang, there is no need to be depressed, there will be opportunities in the future." Yu Jin encouraged.
"Why did you give up the credit for Zhang Yuan's work this time to your nephew Zhang Xiu?!" Yu Jin thought of this and asked in a low voice. It was not convenient for him to ask before, so he asked now.
"Hehe... Do we really want him to stay in the logistics department for the rest of his life?"
"Now that he has been promoted to general, he can command thirty thousand troops, which is not bad." Zhang Ji smiled.
Zhang Ji really had nothing to say to his nephew Zhang Xiu.
"That's just a verbal promise from Governor Dong. Now the Xiliang cavalry in Jingjing City, including the 100,000 troops under your command, is only 400,000. They have basically been divided. Where can Zhang Xiu get 30,000 cavalry? !" Yu Jin shook his head and said helplessly.
"Hehe...Originally this is a secret and cannot be told to outsiders, but Wen Ze and I are quite close, so I will tell you about it. In fact, there are more than just these soldiers under the command of Governor Dong..." Zhang Ji looked around Outside, whispered.
"Moreover, that guy Xu Rong has been ordered to return to the rear to gather troops and horses! There may be hundreds of thousands of Xiliang cavalry coming!" Zhang Ji whispered.
"Hiss!!!" Yu Jin took a breath when he heard the words.
This Dong Zhuo has such a profound military background? ! !
You know, Dong Zhuo is not a player lord. There are limits to the soldiers and horses he has. Otherwise, if some people find out and stab the emperor Liu Hong, it will be a crime of beheading!
"I know what Brother Wen Ze wants to ask!" Zhang Ji interrupted Yu Jin, who was about to ask, and said in a low voice: "These Xiliang cavalry are just farmers in ordinary times, but in wartime they wear armor and go to the front line. No way. There’s a big problem.”
"That's it!" Yu Jin suddenly realized.
This routine is actually the same as that of many ambitious princes. Basically, many great nobles in the Han Dynasty followed this routine.
This is also one of the manifestations of the weakness of Emperor Liu Hong's control over the Han Dynasty.
This is like a certain family in the Great Wilderness Territory secretly raising hundreds of thousands of farmers. These farmers usually farm and cut trees, but when needed, they transform into elite warriors. This situation represents Lin Mu's influence on the Great Wilderness Territory. Take control of signs of weakness!
However, Lin Mu's wilderness territory was not like this at all. All military power was controlled by those who should be controlled, such as Lin Mu, Huang Zhong, and Yu Jin. In their hands, it is equivalent to the soldiers of the Han Dynasty in the hands of Huangfu Songlu Zhi and others. There is no fatal harm to the Han Dynasty, and there are also benefits.
"No wonder I didn't see General Xu Rong when I went to talk to him about military strategy. It turned out that he had returned to the rear." Yu Jin said with emotion.
The two of them pondered for a while without speaking, as if they were digesting something.
"By the way, Brother Zhang, you want to find a great scholar to give you some gifts. I have a channel here. Do you want to try it?" Yu Jin said in a mysterious voice, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Oh? Does Brother Wen Ze know any great scholars?" Zhang Ji asked in surprise.
"I originally wanted to find Master Duan Jiong, one of the Three Mings of Liangzhou, but it's a pity that he passed away a few years ago." Zhang Ji murmured.
"Xun Shuang, a great scholar! He is a great scholar who is famous all over the world! He should have reached the level of Molong Dianfu." Yu Jin took Zhang Ji's hand and whispered.
"Have you interacted with the Xun people in Yingchuan? Or are you Xun Shuang, a great scholar of the time?" Zhang Ji looked surprised.
You know, there are very few great scholars born in Liangzhou, unlike Yingchuan, the most famous place in the world!
"Of course, but if you want Master Xun Shuang to give you some gifts, you still have to pay a price." Yu Jin said with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Gold? Ancient books? Or what?" Zhang Ji grabbed Yu Jin's hand and asked excitedly.
He is just a common military officer. Although he has a little ink in his chest, he learns casually. Moreover, he is also a proud and arrogant person, and believes that he must choose a higher-level pseudonym.
When Yu Jin heard this, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After that, the two had an in-depth conversation. As for the specific content, only certain people can know.
…
…
"That Yu Wenze, guarding the city with Zhang Ji on the city wall?" In the palace of the city lord of Jingjing City, Dong Zhuo hugged the beauty on his left and right, enjoying the gentle countryside, and asked Li Ru softly next to him.
"Yes." Li Ru nodded.
"This Yu Wenze is jumping up and down, often going to the camps of Zhang Ji, Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu." Li Ruruo pointed out.
"Fortunately, I didn't go to Hua Xiong's place, otherwise I would have punished him!" Dong Zhuo said in a solemn voice with a hint of evil energy in his wide eyes.
"This Yu Wenze is a smart man with a bit of military strategy. He should not be so reckless." Li Ru commented.
"A smart man... haha... can only be clever. This time he leads an army to attack Zhending and other cities. I'll see how he does! If he can't get 400,000 prisoners, I'll kill him!" Dong Zhuo thought of his conversation with Yu Jin. Promise, sneered.
The heavy casualties in Jingjing City this time were like a thorn in his side, irritating him and making him impatient with the ban.
Originally, Yu Jin's men should be the ones taking the lead. In this way, even if all of Yu Jin's 200,000 troops died, he wouldn't feel bad.
Unfortunately, he was careless.
"Are the restrictions placed on you by Heaven still so huge?" Dong Zhuo asked as the phone changed.
"Well! I can only use another identity..." Li Ru nodded, indicating something.
"What a pity! If you had the power of God, how could Jingjing City dare to bury hundreds of thousands of my Xiliang warriors!"
"It's my son-in-law who is incompetent!" Li Ru nodded and said calmly.
"I don't blame you! Has Xu Rong already set off?"
"We've already set off. When the troops arrive, Yu Jin will be able to get 400,000 'yellow turban prisoners'!" Li Ru said firmly.
"Haha... Wen You, you really think so highly of him!" Dong Zhuo smiled strangely.
"There's something about this Yu Jin..." Li Ru said quietly.
While Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were chatting, Xinye City, the hub city of Nanyang County in Jingzhou, suddenly burst out with a roar: "I am Zhang Huozhu."
(Xi Zhicai appears!)
