"From today, you practice three times a day, and change one meat every seven days to one meat every three days. Eat well and eat well, practice it for me!"

As soon as Yuan Fang finished speaking, the two thousand soldiers present cheered excitedly.

You should know that only the core elites in Yuan’s army like Xiandengying can eat meat every three days, while second-line soldiers like Pingyangying can practice every three days, and only one meal of meat can be eaten in seven days.

Yuan Fang knew that if the soldiers could not eat meat and practiced a lot, they would have problems with their health. Not to mention going to fight to kill the enemy, they would have trained themselves first.

Yuan Fang pointed his hand and the cheering soldiers soon calmed down and listened to his words.

"Those three military guards and two Simas not only gathered gambling in the army, but also collected money and deliberately made things difficult for me. I blamed them and removed their military status. I was to teach them a lesson! From now on, whoever makes things difficult for me, Yuan Fang, and dare not listen to my orders, I will take his life!"

After a murderous words popped out of Yuan Fang's mouth, the two thousand soldiers suddenly mentioned it in their hearts and became afraid.

Although Yuan Fang had never brought troops, he was familiar with military tactics and knew that he would be kind and powerful to lead troops.

Fang Xianliang paid money to win people's hearts, that's kindness. Now he is using his power to speak ruthlessly.

Hao Zhao, behind him, looked at Yuan Fang's actions and couldn't help but nodded slightly, secretly calling himself a surprise to Yuan Fang.

"Distribute this money as their reward, each person will give you two hundred coins to suppress your wallet!" Yuan Fang waved his hand and swept his eyes to Hao Zhao.

"No!" Hao Zhao waved his knife and roared.

The money he had sent was sent down and the sound of nailing it in his hand made a sound. The soldiers were all happy and grateful, and their momentum also increased to the extreme.

Yuan Fang took advantage of this momentum and shouted loudly: "These money is just a little bit! You practice hard, make meritorious and kill the enemy, and capture Qingzhou for me, it is no problem. I, Yuan Fang, don't feel sorry for these money, do you feel sorry for your life?"

"Working for the young master, I don't feel sorry for my life!" Hao Zhao raised his fist and took the lead in roaring.

More than two thousand soldiers all shouted, their waists straight and their eyes were bloodshot, and they were eager to fight.

Yuan Fangxun spoke and won the service of his soldiers. When he returned to the camp, he arranged some personnel and several other confidants, including Yuan Gui, to the army to manage the accounts, food and money, and to keep these lifelines under control.

Then, he asked Hao Zhaobao to join several people to promote these people as vacant military waiters.

Since Hao Zhao is upright, Yuan Fang believes that the people he recommends must be available talents, and there is no need to interrogate and investigate, and they all appoint them.

When all this is done, it is already evening.

Yuan Fang was about to rest, but when he saw Hao Zhao seemed to have something to say, he asked, "Bo Dao, I like to listen to blunt words. If you have anything to say, just say it."

A hint of surprise flashed in Hao Zhao's eyes, as if he was surprised by Yuan Fang's insight, and he actually saw that he had something to say.

"The young master has a sharp vision, and I admire him."

Hao Zhao bowed, "I want to say that the young master's method of boosting morale is really great. It seems that the price of meat per day is a bit too high. I am afraid that over time, the expenses will be a little unsalable."

Hao Zhao was very careful and did not blindly compliment Yuan Fang, and also saw the hidden dangers of Yuan Fang's methods.

"Don't worry about money, I have my own way." Hao Zhao has not become his confidant yet, so Yuan Fang certainly would not tell him about the robbery of Yuan Xi's million yuan.

Seeing that Yuan Fang was so confident, Hao Zhao no longer worried and bowed down.

Watching Hao Zhao leave, his reminder lingered in his ears.

Yuan Fang knew very well that fighting wars was just money. If two thousand soldiers didn’t go to the battlefield, the consumption in a year would cost tens of millions of dollars. If a war was fought, the consumption would increase even more.

One million yuan seems to be quite a lot, but it is useless if you use it.

However, as long as you can win battles, constantly seize territory and population, these are not problems.

"At this point, I have no way out, I can only try my best to win this Qingzhou!"

Yuan Fang clenched his fists secretly and his will became stronger.

Two days later, Yuan Fang led two thousand troops to officially set off, heading towards Qinghe Country, which borders Qingzhou.

As soon as Yuan Fang left, he soon had a suspicion and sent the news.

Yecheng, Yuan Mansion.

"This bastard, who dares to beat me, and even dares to remove them from military positions. He is so brave!" Yuan Tan roared in anger.

Yuan Fangbing blamed the five military officers for using thunder to eliminate dissidents and collect the morale of Pingyang Camp. His eyes were sent to the hands of the two Yuans.

Yuan Tan originally thought that with this method, he could give Yuan Fang a warning, saying that he could not convince the public and could not send troops.

Who would have thought that Yuan Fang's tricks were so cruel that he could easily break the secret stumbling block.

"This kind of bastard even dares to move the elder brother. He is really brave. Brother, what should we do now?" Yuan Xi said hatefully.

Yuan Tan pondered for a moment and said, "No need to delay, you should lead the army to fight quickly. As for that low-class person, I will send someone to call Zhu Ling, the governor of Qinghe, so that he deliberately disobeys the command of the low-class person. I think that low-class person can do anything with two thousand soldiers."

Yuan Xi nodded repeatedly, but said with concern: "But Zhu Ling is not your and my direct descendant. Will he listen to the elder brother?"

"If he is a smart person, he should know my weight in the Yuan family. He dares not listen!" Yuan Tan snorted coldly, extremely confident.

Only then did Yuan Xi feel relieved and hurriedly prepared to set off and head to Bingzhou.

...

A few days later, Yuan Fang led his army to Qinghe Kingdom.

The Han Dynasty was below the prefecture, and counties and states ran in parallel. Qinghe State was actually equal to Qinghe County, but the county chief was called the prefect, while the state chief was called the prime minister.

The Qinghe Kingdom is located in the easternmost part of Jizhou, adjacent to the Pingyuan County to which Qingzhou belongs. Yuan Fang wanted to take Qingzhou and sent troops from Qinghe.

"The Qinghe State Government is located in Ganling City. Its country's subordinates are Ganling, Dongwu and Beiqiu counties. The garrison Zhu Ling has three thousand soldiers and is stationed in Ganling City..."

Hao Zhao talked endlessly about the situation in Qinghe Country. He was like a master of everything. Nothing could escape his unforgettable memory. This saved Yuan Fang the effort of collecting intelligence.

"What's the story about Zhu Ling?" Yuan Fang asked.

"Zhu Ling's name is Wenbo, and was a local family in Qinghe Kingdom. He was originally a powerful man in Zheng County. At that time, the county magistrate Ji Yong betrayed Yuan Gong and surrendered Gongsun Zan. Yuan Gong sent Zhu Ling to lead troops to quell the rebellion. Ji Yong took the Zhu family as hostage to threaten Zhu Ling, but Zhu Ling still attacked the city, and the clan was destroyed. Yuan Gong promoted Zhu Ling to the commander and ordered him to defend Qinghe Kingdom."

Hao Zhao clearly explained Zhu Ling’s background clearly.

After hearing this, Yuan Fang was quite surprised.

He only knew that Zhu Ling was originally a general of Yuan Shao, but later defected to Cao Cao. Although he was not as good as a general like Zhang Liao, he was also a good general in Cao's camp.

But Yuan Fang didn't know that Zhu Ling could still have such a tragic past.

"Well, it seems that Zhu Ling is also a person who refuses to abolish public for personal gain..."

Yuan Fang secretly exclaimed, but said, "I don't know whose person Zhu Ling is?"

"As far as the last general knows, Zhu Ling did not make any good master. Perhaps because of this, with his talent and achievements, his military position has always been the chief lieutenant."

Hao Zhao's tone was a little regretful, as if he was sighing that Zhu Ling was not valued like him.

"If I have dismissed Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, they will definitely not give up. They will probably hint Zhu Ling not to obey my orders. However, after Hao Zhao said this, Zhu Ling may not be a person who is easily bribed. I have to know him..."

Yuan Fang nodded slightly, already had an idea in his mind.

In the afternoon of that day, Yuan Fang's army arrived in Ganling and set foot on the south side of the city.

Before he could get off the camp, Yuan Jian led several cavalry straight into Ganling City and rushed to Zhu Lingjun's barracks.

Yuan Fang entered the camp with a tiger talisman in his hand and went straight to Zhu Lingzhong's tent.

Zhu Ling was about to go to see Yuan Fang, but before he got up, he heard that Yuan Fang had arrived and hurriedly came out to greet him, Yuan Fang was already a few steps away.

"Last general Zhu Ling, pay homage to the third son." Zhu Ling hurriedly bowed slightly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"General Zhu, I have heard of your name for a long time. Let's talk inside." Yuan Fang didn't see him and walked into the tent with a smile.

Zhu Ling followed in, and Yuan Fang, as the chief general, became the superior.

When the two sat down, Zhu Ling wanted to make some polite words, Yuan Fang said, "General Zhu, to be honest, did my elder brother call you and tell you not to listen to my orders and make things difficult for me?"

When Zhu Ling heard this, his expression changed.
