News of the victory quickly spread throughout Kao City.
Members of the local gentry who came to discuss the matter had different opinions, but overall they still held an encouraging attitude.
When Shao Xun was discussing matters with others, he also praised Liu Hezhu for his victory in the first battle.
But in private, he had a different attitude: "The time for the war was not chosen well. There was a lot of rain in summer and the water rose badly, which was not conducive to the cavalry's movement, but was conducive to the navy. If the battle continues like this, it seems
Training for Sima Rui."
He never looked down upon the Jiangdong regime.
The combat effectiveness of an army is determined by many factors. Supplies, training, equipment, tactics, morale, ethos, etc., may all have an impact.
When Cao Cao first raised his army in the past, the army could no longer be described as bad, but very bad, extremely bad.
As far as bombing the camp every three days is concerned, even among the rabble, it is considered relatively unsophisticated.
When fighting against a Yellow Turban refugee, Boss Cao's soldiers did not dare to attack, so he was forced to take the lead.
To put it bluntly, with this kind of army, Wang Mi, who had just started to rebel, could torture Cao Cao, at least his troops would not blow up the camp.
This is caused by poor training levels.
In the early days of the Eight Kings Rebellion, after many years of peace, many troops were pretty bad. At that time, Shao Xun even used Wushuang more than once. If you ask him to use Wushuang again now, it is not impossible, but the risk has increased sharply.
To put it bluntly, after more than ten years of fighting in the north, the combat effectiveness has generally improved - not only Shao Xun's troops have improved, but also Shi Le, Wang Mi, Zhao Gu, Cao Yi, the Xiongnu, etc., all "passively" followed
Promotion, commonly known as "volume".
Even the tactics have been innovated to a certain extent!
Is it a roll of Southern troops? Not really a roll.
Are the soldiers in the south good? In fact, they are pretty good. Some of the private soldiers of wealthy families who are more capable of fighting have quite good combat effectiveness. For example, during the Qi Wannian Rebellion in Guanzhong, Zhou Chu killed more than 10,000 Guanzhong rebels with 5,000 soldiers.
The pacification of Zhang Chang, Shi Bing, and Feng Yun's rebellion, as well as the pacification of Chen Min's and Du Tao's rebellions, relied on the private soldiers of Jiangnan's wealthy families.
They had combat experience, and at least they fought effectively in battles involving less than ten thousand people. After all, this was an era when barbarians existed widely. Historically, until the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were still barbarian chiefs recruited to official positions in Jiangxi.
Southern soldiers often had to fight barbarians and had certain military qualities, but the scale of the battles was generally small.
Generally speaking, the combat effectiveness of the southern soldiers is not as good as that of the Huns, especially because they lack experience in large-scale battles.
For now, the soldiers with the most combat experience of more than 10,000 people in the entire South are undoubtedly the Jingzhou soldiers trained by Liu Hong and Tao Kan. The long-term counter-insurgency war has also given them considerable combat experience. They need to be reorganized.
, the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Army is second to none in the south.
This is Shao Xun's judgment based on the current situation in the south.
As for Zu Ti's troops, he believed that they were not as capable as the Jingzhou army. To fight them, he had to strive for a large-scale battle with more than ten thousand people. The larger the scale, the less able the southern soldiers were to adapt and the easier it was to be defeated.
But what is the current war situation in Xuzhou...
"If we don't send troops now, Mi Zihui's possession of the East China Sea and Lanling County may not be able to be saved. The later we send troops, the more dangerous it will be." Pei Lingyan stepped forward, straightened Shao Xun's robe, and said softly: "If after the autumn harvest,
If we go further south, Pengcheng may not be able to be saved. When the Xun group sees that the situation is not right, they may surrender to Zuti half-heartedly."
"That's alright." Shao Xun said: "At least the first battle didn't embarrass me. Then it depends on Xi Daohui's ability. I want to see how he can defeat Pi."
"Even if we can't defeat Xiapi for a while." Pei Lingyan put his arm around Shao Xun's waist, looked into his eyes, and said: "With such a preemptive battle, Zu Ti will be frightened, and then use his troops prudently, but the battle line is maintained. You
What we need to worry about now is Hebei."
"Wu people are easy-going. What's the benefit of going north to them? If they need land and wealth, they can just open up wasteland in the south of the Yangtze River. If they need to rule the world, should they move the capital to Luoyang? They won't be willing."
"Lang Jun, if you push too hard, you will actually make them unite, give Sima Rui money, food, soldiers and horses to support him in going north. If you let go a little, they will start to quarrel. If you stay in a corner, you can separat one side at most.
It won’t accomplish great things.”
"Hua Nu, you have seen through all the princes in Jiangdong." Shao Xun said with a smile.
"I'm not thinking about you yet." Pei Lingyan looked at him and said.
Shao Xun hugged her and whispered: "Our child must be as smart as you."
After saying that, he gently stroked her belly and said, "I've been working hard for a month, maybe I'm pregnant now."
Pei Lingyan blushed and said, "You know how to torment me."
Shao Xun came close to her ear and whispered something.
Pei Lingyan rolled her eyes at him.
Shao Xun chuckled and left the bedroom.
"When you return to Luoyang, don't be careless," Pei Lingyan reminded.
Shao Xun stopped, turned around and said, "Even if it's ugly, I won't give anyone a chance, don't worry."
****
Shao Xun quickly left Kaocheng and drove to the manor where the shogunate was located.
He is the military chief of the Yanzhou shogunate, so of course he has his own government office.
As soon as they arrived, the two soldiers consulted and offered wine to Lu Qiuchong, and Bian Dun immediately stepped forward to salute.
After returning the gift, Shao Xun entered the room and said in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Yu Wenjun first looked at him with a worried look. After seeing that her husband did not blame her, she immediately pounced on him.
Lu Qiuchong and Bian Dun had already left, chatting with Yu Chen outside.
In the room, Shao Xun felt Yu Wenjun hugging him tightly, and his delicate body was trembling slightly.
The scumbag couldn't stand it any longer. He gently hugged his beloved wife and sat down, saying: "Hebei Ding, the situation is complicated and we can't leave for a moment. You don't know how shameless those capricious people are. As long as you show your love a little bit,
I’ll give you the color of the decline right away.”
"The Xuzhou side is also quite tricky. Princess Donghai has an old relationship with Sima Jingwen. I've been thinking about it to see if I can stabilize the south side first and concentrate on dealing with the Huns."
"Yanzhou has raised 800,000 hu of grain and grass. I compiled the list of grain recipients, visited them one by one, and encouraged them a lot. Alas, it's so annoying with so many things."
"There are still many people in Henan who are both heads and rats..."
"I didn't ask you." Yu Wenjun said softly in his arms.
Shao Xun was suffocated and looked carefully at his beloved wife whom he had not seen for a long time.
Yu Wenjun, why - have you become more powerful?
"I miss you a little, and my daughter misses you too." Yu Wenjun raised his head and looked at Shao Xun.
Shao Xun was a little overwhelmed and even began to reflect for a moment.
Playing tricks with him often doesn't produce any good results, but Yu Wenjun's straight-ball style of play, and the arms that still hug him tightly, made the scumbag defeated.
"I..." Shao Xun gently stroked her face.
Yu Wenjun raised his face and looked at him with wide eyes.
When she first got married, her eyes were full of joy, admiration and sweetness, but now there is a hint of resentment and even sadness.
Shao Xun turned his head and subconsciously hugged his wife.
"The manor in Runan has been built, and 6,500 households have been resettled." Yu Wenjun said: "The Yu family, the Yin family, and the Guanqiu family collected the money. We originally planned to use the income from the Yingchuan, Runan, and Nandun farms.
Yes, but you want to fight, forget it. I sent someone to make a plan, and together with Guangcheng Zecaiguan Erzhuang and Liang County Luliuyuan, we can allocate 500,000 dendrobium of grain. The meeting has already started."
Shao Xun couldn't help but look at his wife again.
We haven’t seen each other for a year, how come you have become so capable?
The newly built manor in Runan is located in northern Yichun County, and the 6,500 households resettled are the Hu Han people that Shao Xun redeemed from Anping.
As for the farmland in Yingchuan, Runan, and Nandun mentioned by Yu Wenjun, they were her dowry and produced a large amount every year.
In fact, she is also a little rich woman. Her uncle Yu Zhi was very good at amassing money, but he was also very generous when preparing a dowry for his niece. In the end, it was converted into farm land, and Yu Wenjun currently sends people to take care of it.
Of course, he could just listen to this and get over it.
However, in just one year, his wife has become more mature and capable, which makes him a little uncomfortable.
Where is the little fan girl from before?
What about the clingy, ignorant person who used to throw herself into his arms when she saw him?
What about the girl who used to love to smile so much that her eyes curled up like little crescent moons?
Shao Xun felt a little disappointed.
"I don't have to go to war this year, so I can spend more time at home." Shao Xun didn't know why he said this.
"Yes." Yu Wenjun changed into a comfortable position in his arms.
"I'm going to Luoyang in a while. Please come with me. The houses in the city have been unoccupied for a long time."
"Um."
"I will go to Hebei in the second half of the year. As Mrs. Chen Guo, you should go with me."
Yu Wenjun finally sat up, put his arms around Shao Xun's neck, with a smile on his face, and said: "Husband, I really missed you during the year you were away at war."
Shao Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Is he afraid of Yu Wenjun? Of course not.
Among all the armies, what can frighten a man who is unparalleled?
Is he afraid of the Yu family? Of course not.
To put it bluntly, doesn't my father-in-law know that he got involved with the Wang sisters at Tongque Terrace? But Yu Chen didn't dare to mention it for fear that Shao Xun would be unhappy.
The only person who can cure Thief Shao is this nineteen-year-old girl who cares about him wholeheartedly.
Because what he owes her has nothing to do with interests, only love.
"I heard that your husband won the battle in Xuzhou?" Yu Wenjun's mood obviously improved a lot. After getting up from his arms, he curiously looked at his husband's military office.
Next door should be one of the residences of Princess Donghai, right? There is actually a small door, where does it lead to?
"Oh? What did Xuchang say?" Shao Xun came over and hugged his wife, covering her sight.
Yu Wenjun rubbed his arms for a while, then sniffed gently, and said: "The Xun family has sent people eastward to Xuzhou to persuade Xun Taizhang to offer Pengcheng."
"If the Xun family doesn't do this, I will 'remind' them." Shao Xun said, "Some people from Yanzhou have returned to Xuzhou, including Liu Chou and He Sui. I will ask Sima Rui this time
Let’s see whose words are more effective in Xuzhou. Well, I’ve been busy in Kaocheng these past few days with this matter, weighing it over and over again, and giving many instructions.”
Yu Wenjun pinched him lightly.
Shao Xun breathed a sigh of relief again, feeling secretly happy.
"On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, I summoned the scholars and sent my family on a trip." Yu Wenjun added, "I let out the rumor that my husband wanted to raise food. Grandpa told me yesterday that more than 600,000 dendrobiums had been raised, and we started to start the operation.
After the wheat harvest, we should still be able to raise 800,000 dendrobium."
"It really helped me a lot." Shao Xun said happily.
"I'm no worse than others." Yu Wenjun buried his head in his arms and said in an inaudible voice, "I want to help you."
Shao Thief's "Chinese Army Camp" was completely defeated.
There were heavy footsteps outside the door and a few coughs.
Yu Chen came, followed by Yu Min, Yu Gun and others.
