Zhu Jun's aura was gone and summoned the generals to discuss matters. He canceled the plan to attack immediately, ordered the battalions to strengthen training, prepare for combat, and march towards Junyi City in turn. He was scheduled to launch an attack on Junyi City in ten days, and those who have made meritorious will be rewarded, and those who have lost will be punished. At this time, he showed off the war horses sent by Niu Fu and Jia Xu, and told the generals that in addition to the rewards they deserve, the generals who have made the most meritorious can also receive the rewards for war horses.

There must be a brave man under heavy rewards. These people didn't ask where Zhu Jun got the money he gave. When they heard that there was a reward, they became excited. When they saw those fat and strong war horses, they were even more salivating.

According to convention, a general or lieutenant can lead two or three thousand people, and can have two or three hundred guard battalions, including at least thirty or fifty guard knights. These people usually serve as ceremonial guards, and in wartime they are the general's killer weapon and amulets. When the situation is favorable, they can launch a charge and give a fatal blow to the opponent, and when the situation is unfavorable, they will hold the master and escape.

However, Luoyang has been fighting for years in recent years, and there are very few war horses. Even Zhu Jun cannot gather 100 guards. Most of them have only more than ten cavalry, and they are all ordinary war horses, even pack horses. There is nothing like Sun Ce who has established guards. It is precisely because of this that Zhu Jun is willing to replace Sun Jian with Sun Ce. There are only more than 300 knights under Sun Jian's command, less than one-third of Sun Ce. Because of this, although Sun Ce is not very obedient, Zhu Jun cannot bear to leave. Once Sun Ce leaves, his combat effectiveness is at least half.

If you can get three or five real war horses, whether you use them yourself or sell them to others, this is a considerable wealth. The best horse is worth at least 100 gold, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money.

After arousing the fighting spirit of the generals, Zhu Jun arranged the order of the generals to advance. Marines are also a technical job. Whoever is the vanguard, whoever is the rear guard, how to cover each other and how much distance is maintained, they are all very particular. They must be arranged according to the specific terrain, and not just talk about it. Fortunately, Zhu Jun has not had many theories on marching and combat, but has rich practical experience, so the arrangement is in order.

This time, Sun Ce became the queen of the palace, Cao Bao and Xu Jian became the forward.

After the meeting, Zhu Jun kept Sun Ce and Cao Bao and took care of him a few more words. Cao Bao accepted the task and left first. Finally, Sun Ce took care of him repeatedly and asked him to send Sun Jian a message immediately, asking him to send as much food as possible.

Sun Ce promised to provide another million stone of food after the war ended. He knew that Zhu Jun was unable to do so, and he knew that with his father Sun Jian's temper, even if he did not agree, Sun Jian would give it to him, including Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who would tend to support Zhu Jun and support the court. Fortunately, he could afford it with Yuzhou. As long as Zhang Zhao, the prefect of Runan, can do his best, with the more than 300,000 households with Runan's current household registration, even if they are under the ultra-low tax of 30 or 1, they can still collect more than one million stones a year. The entire Yuzhou can collect about two million stones. Although one million stones is very painful, they can still be given.

This is the benefit of a big province. If the population is large, the money and food will be more, and the economic strength will be strong, and it can support long-term wars. As long as you don’t fight locally, there will be no problem. Sun Ce helped Zhu Jun stabilize the situation in Luoyang and built a line of defense for Yuzhou and Jingzhou. If the war enters Yuzhou and Jingzhou, no matter how many people there were and how strong the economic strength was, it would be completely ruined after a few years of battle.

In history, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou were the same. After the Red Cliff, the Xiangyang area became the center of war. In a few years, the two major counties of Nanyang and Nanjun were all deserted and deserted. Guan Yu had to rely on the four counties in Jiangnan to provide supplies during the Northern Expedition.

Zhu Jun was very satisfied. With this million stone of grain, he could last for another half a year. If Tao Qian could be as generous as Sun Jian and his son, he could stabilize the situation in Luoyang and not deteriorate any further. Luoyang was stable, and the fleeing people came back one after another, and could slowly recover their vitality, reduce their dependence on others, and even achieve self-sufficiency.

Seeing that Zhu Jun became excited again, Sun Ce quickly left. Otherwise, the old man would not be able to leave when he mentioned topics like ZTE.

Jiang Gan followed Sun Ce back to the camp and explained the details of Hanoi along the way. As Sun Ce estimated, although Dong Yue was defeated by Yuan Shao, his losses were not great and he would soon recover. His biggest problem was that he did not have large weapons and could only rob some docks or ordinary people with weak defense capabilities. He was powerless to do anything to those manors with strict defense and had limited food. If support was not provided, it would be difficult for them to hold on for too long.

"Do you know how Yuan Shao defeated Dong Yue?"

"I know, I went to the battlefield to read it." Jiang Gan took out a roll of paper from his arms. "I wrote a report on the war for the general to refer to."

Sun Ce took the paper roll and said sincerely: "Ziyi, it's been a hard journey."

Jiang Gan smiled and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard, I enjoy such a life. Those who know it are not as good as those who like it, and those who like it are not as good as those who enjoy it. I am happy with it and don't feel it's hard."

"Then you have to pay attention to your health. If you don't pay attention when you are young, you will suffer when you are old. I hope you can achieve success and live a long life like Lu Jia."

Jiang Gan laughed loudly and bowed, "I hope to rely on the general's auspicious words to make me strive to live longer than Lu Jia."

The two of them were riding horses while joking. When they returned to the camp, Sun Ce asked Pang Tong to invite Zhang Hong and Guo Jia, and read Jiang Gan's report carefully with the lights. Jiang Gan was indeed very attentive. He not only recorded the story, but also depicted the terrain around the battlefield and even drew a picture. Compared with the picture, Sun Ce could easily see the essence of this battle.

The battle in Huai County was actually not the first time that Yuan Shao and Dong Yue fought with Dong Yue. After Dong Yue defeated Zhang Yang in Xi County, he advanced all the way east. The vanguard once arrived in Huojia. The first battle took place in Huojia. More than 3,000 people failed to attack Yuan Shao's battle formation and lost nearly 1,000 people. After receiving the news, Dong Yue personally led more than 20,000 main forces to fight Yuan Shao in Huai County. He was defeated by Yuan Shao again, losing more than 3,000 people. Seeing that the situation was not good, Dong Yue took the initiative to evacuate and used the advantages of the cavalry to escape the battlefield, which avoided greater losses, but the robbed goods and food were mostly lost.

The key to Yuan Shao's victory was actually not new, and it was almost the same as the plan prepared by Sun Ce: strong crossbows. He had a large number of strong crossbows. Before fighting, he first used a large number of strong crossbows to shoot and block the impact of the cavalry, causing a large amount of killing and injury. Then he sent elite cavalry to charge, and then covered with infantry to cover the killing on a large scale. What surprised Sun Ce was Yuan Shao's cavalry. Yuan Shao's cavalry was not many, only two or three hundred, but his equipment was excellent. Not only did people have armor, but also horses, he was not afraid of ordinary bows and arrows, and his impact was extremely strong.
