Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Outside Xiapi City.
Green seedlings are already growing in the fields.
Some farmers are working hard.
On the plain grassland, there were shouts and killing sounds one after another.
The rumble of the horse's hooves is shocking.
In the past, when hearing this kind of sound, all the soldiers in the camp would raise their hearts in their throats, which meant that a life-and-death fight was imminent.
It is very likely that the next moment, you will no longer breathe the air in this world.
No one knows whether it is his opponent or himself who will die in the battle formation.
Facing the unpredictable fate.
Most people can only live with it and don't have much hope for life.
But.
Today I heard the killing cry and the sound of horse hooves again.
There were more than a thousand soldiers in the wounded barracks, but they were not worried or afraid at all. There were even some smiles on many faces.
Although the wounds on his body were still aching, there was no hindrance.
Except for a few wounded soldiers whose hands and feet were broken, who were still frowning and worried about their future livelihood, the wounded soldiers whose hands and feet were intact and bandaged did not have too much worry.
"Third uncle, do you want to join the county guard this time, or do you want to sign up to join the army? You escaped and saved your life this time. You must be scared to death, right?"
"Black boy, how dare you laugh at your third uncle? When your third uncle went to the battlefield, you were still peeing your pants?"
The older wounded soldier touched the clean cloth on his head. At this time, the wound was no longer bleeding, and his head was no longer dizzy. He smiled rarely, and some of the fine wrinkles on his face disappeared. Melted: "What's the point of the county guard? Have you heard from General Lingqi? We are elites, veterans who have experienced bloody battles. Once we recruit a large number of new soldiers, we can serve as corps commanders or chief commanders. If you perform meritorious service on the battlefield, you can still get an official position. If that happens, my ancestors of the Shuijing Huang family may wake up from the underground laughing. "
"Hush, please call me General Lu. Don't call people by their maiden names. Third uncle, you can't hold back your words. Be careful not to speak too much."
The black-faced boy was winking, but now he was a little panicked.
"Look at how timid you are? Bah..."
The third uncle shook his head.
"You also have to look at who she is. This General Lu, it doesn't matter if you call her by any name, as long as you have respect in your heart. Moreover, the lord who follows you this time is completely different from those in the past. Xiao Hei, you Not only since you joined the army, but you have heard people talk about ancient times in the village, have you ever heard that as a lord, he would personally help heal the soldiers' illnesses and bandage their wounds?"
"And General Lu Lingqi is also kind. He also asked his maid to come to the wounded camp to wash everyone's wounds and apply medicine. How can you not be grateful?
However, you kid is not good at it. When I saw the female soldiers accompanying me, I shed tears all over the floor, and even I was embarrassed. "
"Uncle Third, please stop bragging. I make you sound like you are very powerful. I remember that when the female doctor wrapped your headband, you almost choked to death on your own saliva. You looked at... …”
"Shut up, shut up, you don't want your life..."
The third uncle rushed to the sheep like a hungry tiger and quickly pressed the black boy's mouth.
Stopping him from continuing.
This boy was only fifteen years old, his body had not yet fully grown, and his arm was injured. He could not move at this time, so he could only laugh while being held down.
The two laughed for a while and then shed tears.
After a long time, the black-faced boy let out a long sigh, with vicissitudes that were inappropriate for his age: "It would be great if my lord could always win battles and remain undefeated. After I recover from my injury, I will join the war camp and die for him." Fight, rush into battle and kill the enemy."
"Yes, as long as you don't die on the spot, even if you are injured or disabled, you will be cured, and you will always be able to have enough food and clothing in the future."
There were also people nearby who responded.
Listening to the words of the black-faced boy, everyone was deeply touched.
"Don't worry, no matter who loses, the Lord will not lose."
In the corner of Camp No. 39, a wounded soldier answered loudly.
This man had been lowering his head and looking depressed. At this time, he finally couldn't help it anymore: "You are also ignorant. Do you know how long we, the eight hundred dragon cavalrymen, have been practicing? One month, only more than one month." A few days ago...when I followed the lord, I was even weaker than you, and I was just a low-level soldier of the Chen family."
"ah!"
There were exclamations all around.
Half of it was envy of the injured soldier with a broken leg in the corner.
The other half was surprised by the efficiency of their martial arts training.
This man's body is full of energy, and he can exert hundreds of kilograms of strength by raising his hands and feet. He is already a general among the weaker county soldiers.
Unexpectedly, a month ago he was nothing but a miscellaneous soldier.
"My lord is not only very good at healing wounds, but he is also very good at teaching martial arts and training soldiers. Of course, his most powerful thing is his martial arts and sword skills. Cao Cao has so many fierce generals, but he alone has beaten him so much that he dare not accept the challenge. Even Liu Xuande, forget it, This one is one of our own...even Lu...this one is one of our own, anyway, there is no one in the world that he can't defeat."
When the soldier talked about Zhang Kun's abilities, he was very excited. He vividly recounted the scene of following Zhang Kun out of the city that day and challenging the generals with extraordinary power. Hearing the wounded soldiers exclaim from time to time, they couldn't stop for a while.
I wish I could recover from my injuries as soon as possible, and immediately join the army, fight with the army, and find a wife and son.
Following such a powerful lord, are you still worried about losing?
of course not.
…
"Huh!"
Zhang Kun trained his troops and horses for a while.
After the military training, they were about to ride back to the city. For some reason, they felt tired, and they raised their heads and let out a long yawn.
"sleepy."
"You didn't sleep for the rest of the night, okay?"
Lu Lingqi looked curiously.
This was the first time she had seen this person look like this.
In the past, even if I practiced martial arts and studied all night, I would still be energetic the next day, and my eyes would be so bright that people would not dare to look directly at them.
But today, like a lazy big cat, I yawned five times.
What kind of exertion is required to tire him out like this?
Miss Lu lowered her head and thought carefully, not daring to think too much.
"No, even if I stay up for three to five days, with my current energy..."
Zhang Kun answered casually, but as soon as the words came out, he was slightly stunned.
Guo Jia, who was following quietly and taking a sip of wine from time to time, his face flushed with alcohol, suddenly pulled the horse back and looked back with a frown.
"wrong……"
Zhang Kun looked at his attribute column, and there were no changes elsewhere.
Only the mental column, with a mental value of 48 points, caught his attention for a long time.
'Remember, it was 48 o'clock five days ago. There has been no improvement in the past five days, and I have not stopped reciting the Huangting Sutra. Why is this? '
He turned to look at his only counselor and suddenly asked: "Fengxiao, is there anything weird if a person always wants to sleep?"
"Besides wanting to sleep?"
Guo Jia's expression became heavy.
"Also, there is nothing else wrong..." Zhang Kun shook his head, his eyes touched Lu Lingqi beside him, and when he saw the traces of red clouds rising on the other person's face, he suddenly felt shocked and remembered something.
"The seven emotions and six desires suddenly became stronger. Is this wrong?"
These days, I feel more compassion for others, especially when I don’t see anyone dying of pain or illness...
Of course, there are also some ridiculous things with Lu Lingqi.
Lu Lingqi's martial arts skills improved greatly, and she thought she could compete with Zhang Kun. As a result, every time she came with great interest, she was killed without leaving any trace of her armor.
She felt deeply that she was not strong enough, so she selected seven or eight elite soldiers from the 300 female soldiers with her to join forces with Zhang Kun. Only then could she survive...
The taste of this is really hard to describe in words.
"It's a spell. Lord, do you still remember what I said that day?" Guo Jia's expression changed drastically.
"You mean, Yu Ji?"
Zhang Kun was slightly shocked.
Cao Cao finally took action.
As expected, revenge does not last overnight, Boss Cao is a ruthless person.
If you can't play the obvious game, you will immediately realize your shame and become brave, and start looking for people to play dirty tricks.
Guo Jia shook his head to dissipate some of the drunkenness and tried to sober up: "It is said that the art of Taiping covers a wide range of things, such as Fuluan please account, the small art of making wind and rain, etc., and it also contains various fates. Traction, the way of increasing and decreasing Qi, is also the legendary art of victory and the way of curse, one of which has a branch called witchcraft..."
“In the early Western Han Dynasty, the witchcraft disaster was extremely tragic, not only causing the death of Prince Liu Zhi and Queen Wei Zifu, but also implicating many royal relatives and dignitaries, and a total of tens of thousands of people died.
Therefore, emperors of all dynasties have a deep hatred for witchcraft, and will severely punish them once they are discovered."
Guo Jiasheng was afraid that Zhang Kun would not pay attention to this matter, so he also told the old story about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposing Chen Ajiao.
"It's indeed amazing."
Zhang Kun nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
My current physical strength is beyond the imagination of outsiders.
It has almost completely surpassed the ordinary world. From blood to flesh and blood, everything is incredibly tough and powerful.
With such a physical body, he can still make himself feel tired. One can imagine how far the opponent's spell can go.
However, Zhang Kun thought that this kind of spell would mostly target fate and spirit.
This is what Guo Jia calls suppressed Qi.
The impact on his physical body is approximately nil.
But no matter how little impact it has, it has restrained and offset my own spiritual practice. This is already a huge loss.
"Acting in a hazy manner, advancing and retreating at a loss...Advancing without hesitation and going his own way!" Guo Jia's eyes were full of determination, "If I guess correctly, the next step is to lead the lord to send troops north and fall into an ambush...However, Now that we have seen through the other party’s purpose, it is not difficult to defeat this plan.”
"What's the plan?"
"Regulate the army, stabilize the people, open up borders, expand the territory..."
Guo Jia said solemnly: "We can't develop Xuzhou slowly. Originally, it would be best to wait for the first half to a year to straighten out everything in Xuzhou before sending troops.
However, since the opponent has already made his move, he cannot wait any longer. He must attack Yuan Shu as quickly as possible, gather the territory and the people, and increase his energy. In this way, the victory of this unit will no longer be possible. And self-destructive. "
Why attack Yuan Shu?
Because he proclaimed himself emperor early.
The most disgusting thing is that all the princes in the world are disgusted.
It is also the easiest to fight.
Basically there is no resistance, just a weak persimmon.
Whoever attacks him first and seizes the territory and population will be able to eat to their heart's content.
In the original trajectory, Cao Cao got part of it and Sun Ce got part of it.
Therefore, the foundation of Wei and Wu was laid, allowing them to earn the crucial first pot of gold.
From this aspect, Yuan Shu is a good comrade.
"It's okay to fight. Now that we have eliminated the weak and retained the strong, there are still 80,000 troops left, which can be regarded as a powerful force. It is already a bit difficult to raise troops in Xuzhou alone. It is the right time to expand outwards."
"Calling together the governors of all counties to prepare food, fodder and weapons, and in seven days, assemble the army and prepare for war."
…
Seven days passed quickly.
This time, the governors of various counties were extremely enthusiastic, and their work efficiency was many times faster than when Lu Bu was still in charge of Xuzhou.
The reasons are complex yet simple.
These prefects have been keeping their duties since the Tao Qian period. During the Liu Bei and Lu Bu periods, because everything was still uncertain, it was not easy to replace senior officials. Therefore, such as Donghai Prefect Xu Mengping, Langye Prefect Zang Ba, and Pengcheng Prefect Liu Ai , Xiapi Prefect Zuo Rong, Dongguan Prefect Yin Li, plus Guangling Prefect Zhang Liao.
Except for Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, who were Zhang Kun's new governors, the rest were all from the original team.
Xuzhou was newly settled, and Zhang Kun's subordinates did not have that many close civil and military officials. At this time, it was better to remain silent than to move, so he simply let the chief officials of the counties continue to serve, and Xiao Gui Cao followed.
However, Lu Lingqi was ordered to send a secret guard to each county to collect information and see who was eating the common people's flesh and whose corpses were eating nothing. Once discovered, they would be immediately rectified and replaced.
Now, there is still no action.
These people did not discount Zhang Kun's first order after taking office.
With the arrival of grain and grass and the arrival of soldiers and weapons, Zhang Kun's southward army was ready.
…
"Wenyuan, you have a stable character and meticulous work. I am relieved to have you serve as the governor of Guangling. Don't worry about the instability of the rear during this expedition. Just drive straight in. If you are not sure, you can consult the military advisors."
Yes, Zhang Kun spent a lot of time to help Guo Jia take good care of his body. After more than twenty days, the military advisor drank wine and his health was in excellent condition. At least, there would be no chance of serious illness in a few years.
As for a radical cure, wait until later and then slowly nurse it back to health.
Anyway, no matter how much he drinks like water or stays up late to cultivate immortality... Zhang Kun can always save him with his medical skills.
Thinking that the southward attack on Yangzhou was of great importance, Zhang Kun sent Guo Jia out to prevent any mistakes.
On the Guangling side, Zhang Liao led 3,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry.
Moreover, Zhang Kun also sent Liu Bei and Guan Yu out.
Each of them also assigned 15,000 troops and horses, giving a total of 30,000 to his two brothers.
After Liu Bei bowed to Liu Bei last time and gained dragon energy points to join him, Zhang Kun had some changes in his mind. He thought that in this era, even an opponent like Zhang Xiu, who had killed his own son and general, could be surrendered and reused by Cao Cao.
It seems that there is not much need for me to defend myself in this way.
Therefore, I decided to let it go once and see what happened.
Anyway, as long as you stay strong, you don't have to worry about anything that will end badly.
"Xuande, I'm well aware of your great talent. I hope you can make great achievements as soon as possible. The world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits. To clean up the mountains and rivers and restore peace to the world, we still need the joint efforts of you and me."
"My lord, please relax your mind. Yuan Jiujiang is at the end of his powerful crossbow at this time and can be easily defeated... The post of Jiujiang Governor is ready to be taken."
Liu Bei burst into tears of gratitude, his eyes were red, and he promised again and again.
"Yun Chang, your injury hasn't healed for long. Please proceed with caution and don't force yourself."
"The general will save more time and worry more about the Lord."
Guan Yu was in a complicated mood and bowed his head respectfully.
Zhang Kun nodded and helped the two of them up. He seemed to have no grudges at all.
He appointed Liu Bei as the governor of Jiujiang, but he would only be able to fulfill his duties after the Yangzhou governorship was captured.
Then, they made Guan Yu the governor of Lujiang. In the same way, they had to wait until their troops captured Lujiang County.
At that time, Guangling, Jiujiang and Lujiang are all in his own hands, and his troops are directed towards Runan to the west, threatening Cao Cao's Yuzhou territory; pointing to Yuzhang to the south, threatening Jiangdong, and firmly blocking Sun Ce's troops in Wu.
After taking Yangzhou, there is another advantage. You can enter Yuzhou at any time, attack Nanyang, break Cao Cao's south passage, and completely seal him in the north.
If this plan succeeds, Boss Cao will have no choice but to fight Yuan Shao to the death.
Of course, the most important thing is not the strategic advantage.
What is important to Zhang Kun is that his territory can expand rapidly again.
With Xu Yang's two states in hand, the people under his rule doubled, and his military strength doubled. He was not much weaker than Cao Cao.
If we can attract Sun Ce to attack, then the two sides will fight decisively...
A smile flashed in Zhang Kun's eyes. There are more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in total, which can be called an army of 100,000. There are three generals and a world-renowned strategist...
No need to ask, Yuan Shu is definitely defeated.
As for myself, my anger is so strong that it is even harder to contain it.
The art of victory will gradually become ineffective.
Under this situation, the 'master' who secretly used despicable means should be unable to sit still.
I don’t know where the battlefield he will choose will be?
How will the attack be carried out?
…
Asking for a monthly ticket.
