Chapter 319
There are four counties around Changshan County, all of which are small counties. The more representative one is Zhao County in the south of Changshan County. A small county on the plain has no dangers to guard, with about 30,000 to 40,000 people, making it the largest county in Changshan County.
Zhao Xin led his troops to set off before dawn. The autumn morning was a little cold. Xuzhou army was well treated, and the iron armor was covered with cowhide armor, so the soldiers could not feel the chill.
Almost seventy miles from Changshan to Zhao County, the Xuzhou Army's banner appeared at the north gate of Zhao County at noon.
Hundreds of soldiers were sparsely spread on the city wall more than two meters high.
The flags are not waving, and the weapons are not bright.
Zhao Xin ordered: "Go to rest and have a meal, and attack the city after dinner."
The HuoTou Army removed the pot from the horse's back and started to cook some hot soup, while the soldiers took the horse's pockets to serve the war horses first.
Saddle the riding horse and let the horse rest and roll.
Zhao Xin looked at Zhao County. As the county was named, there were many people with the surname Zhao in this county. Why did Zhao Yun send so many deputy generals to come here because they were worried that other deputy generals would kill the people indiscriminately?
The high-flying Zhao flag was flying in the air. After a simple lunch, the horses were resting.
The whimpering horn sounded, and the cavalry boarded their horses, running back and forth in the open wilderness, raising dust all over the sky. Although there were only one thousand cavalry, there were two thousand horses, which looked quite large. I don’t know how many cavalrymen came to the city wall, and they were trembling one by one.
After a while, the city gate opened wide and an old man with white beard came out, and he came over with a few soldiers.
The old man bowed: "Do you dare to ask if it's General Zhao Yun and Zhao on the other side?"
Zhao Xin said: "General Zhao is in Changshan, and I am Deputy General Zhao Xin. How dare you ask the old man who is?"
"I am a big family in this county town, and my surname is Zhao, so I am still my family. I came to plead with the mercy of the county magistrate and hoped that Deputy General Zhao would not hurt the people after entering the city."
Zhao Xin Canglang drew out his sword, which scared the old man, and thought Zhao Xin was going to chop him up.
"General Zhao has an order that those who dare to kill people will die, and those who rob the people will die. Don't worry, I am also from Changshan. Many of the people in the army are children of Jizhou. We have no reason to kill innocent people, but if the soldiers in the city dare to do anything, it is impossible to guarantee."
The old man said repeatedly: "Don't worry, Deputy General Zhao has only two thousand militias in the city."
Zhao Xin led his army into the city, proud and proud.
The action was quick and cautious, and the first thing he controlled was the city gates, the city walls, and the archers controlled the commanding heights.
The cavalry entered the city, restrained the horses, and walked steadily on the narrow streets of the county town.
Zhao Xin understood why the two thousand soldiers in the county surrendered without fighting. They only wore coarse clothes, and had simple weapons such as spears and spears, and were exposed. At best, they were considered strong men. They could not eat enough or wear warm clothes. How could they have combat effectiveness? If it was an invasion of foreign races, they would still resist, but now it was just a dispute between the princes, so there was no need to kill them.
Zhao Xin took over the county town, and two thousand infantry gathered in the military camp.
"Do you want to join the Xuzhou Army? You can eat three meals a day, often have fish and meat, three sets of clothes a year, cotton coats and shoes during winter, and thin clothes during summer, so you can stand up."
As soon as he finished speaking, more than 600 people came out to fight and served as soldiers to eat food, so that they could have a round belly, eat a bite, and wear a whole body.
Zhao Xin looked at everyone and continued:
"I have a military pay of 100 cents a month. I will get double when fighting, and I will have military merits and rewards."
There were about 800 people standing up, and only about 400 people were left.
"After three years, three wars were fought. As long as you do not violate serious military discipline, you will be given five houses and ten acres of land to settle down and marry a wife."
Hugh, it's so boiling, the conditions are so good.
The last four hundred people passed.
"Okay, okay, very good. But not everyone in our Xuzhou army can be the one. Both father and son are in the army, so one can only stay. The only child is not good, the only child is not good, the one over fifty years old is not good, the one who is weak is not good, and the one who runs slowly is not good."
No other tests were conducted. There were more than 200 father and son and only son who went there.
Why did Lu Bu and Chen Gong think about it repeatedly, which is more humane. War is cruel and casualties may occur at any time.
If you only sons at home, you will be afraid of war when you are fighting, so don’t want to do so.
"Okay, kill pigs and sheep tonight and reward the three armies."
Zhao Xin did not rob the people, but he did not say that he could not touch the government. The county government treasury was controlled. Another large household supplied dozens of pigs and a lot of forage.
That night, Zhao Xin rewarded the three armies and ate a meal of meat, and more than a thousand infantry soldiers in the county became the Xuzhou army.
Zhao Xinbing did not plan to eliminate him again, because Youzhou needed a large number of soldiers, even if he was almost in good health, he could feed his horses as auxiliary soldiers.
You can use military farming as a military farmer, but if it really doesn't work, you should be a farmer.
At this time, Yuan Shao's office in Jizhou was discussing the issue of sending troops. Yuan Shao was furious: "Lu Bu's common man is too bullying, so he dared to attack Changshan. I am telling me that I will order Yan Liang, Guandu, and the Wen Chou army will 30,000 elite troops, and quickly wipe out these thousands of cavalry."
"Get orders."
The messenger was about to go out, and at this time Tian Feng hurried in.
He bowed and bowed: "Don't worry, it's a bit inappropriate to do this. I think Lu Bu's goal is not very mountain, but Jizhou City."
All the generals next to him laughed: "How is this possible? The military strategists are not allowed to go deep into the army alone. If they want to attack Jizhou, they have to take down more than a dozen counties around them. Otherwise, Lu Bu could come in and could not get out. Lu Bu is an expert in war and would definitely not make such mistakes."
Tian Feng was still very determined and took out a picture of an iron horse with a brush from his arms. A soldier was riding a bicycle on the picture.
"There is such an iron horse in Lu Bu's army that can travel 200 miles a day. If you come from Jinan County, you can reach Jizhou in just two days."
Everyone laughed, and someone said, "Mr. Tian has filtered it. These are just things like children's things. How many can they have? And it's impossible to go on such a long journey on an iron horse, and it's impossible."
Tian Feng looked straight at Yuan Shao: "Lord, quickly dispatch elite troops to Jizhou, otherwise it would be too late."
Yuan Shao was not willing to believe that there were many rangers and horses in Jizhou. The Xuzhou army immediately reported it as soon as it entered the territory. There is no news now, so we will send troops to Jizhou. You must know that it costs a lot of money to mobilize troops.
"It shouldn't be that this kind of iron horse is just a fooling thing made by Lu Bu. It's not that useful. In this way, Ju Yi led 15,000 troops to encircle and suppress Zhao Yun. Yan Liang led 5,000 cavalry to Jizhou."
Seeing Yuan Shao’s arrangement like this, Tian Feng had nothing to say, because it was really difficult to explain some people who were stubborn. They didn’t understand technology and didn’t believe in technology.
