Time passed by mid-March, and with Liu Jing's continuous training, his troops were able to work as a team.
I have to say that the modern army's method of "if one person makes a mistake, punishes the whole team" is really effective. Every squad under his command can be integrated into one, and can be commanded like an arm after forming a square formation. It is not like a newly recruited army at all.
As for the formations, the progress is relatively slow. The square formation is undoubtedly the most proficient formation at present, and the rest have mastered a circular formation. They are not very familiar with the battlefield fighting method of the circular formation.
During this period, I also conducted courage training and found a lot of livestock for my troops to slaughter. Although it was not as good as fighting on the real battlefield, it could still let them feel the blood in advance, at least they would not be stunned in place when they saw the blood.
Zhu Jun's troops, who set off early, arrived at Xingyang in mid-March, and Liu Jing was stationed at Zhongmou, which was not too far from Xingyang.
After receiving the news, he planned to go to Xingyang to visit Zhu Jun and inquire about the march of Huangfu Song's army.
After arriving at Duting outside Xingyang City, Liu Jing couldn't help but lamented that the gap between himself and Zhu Jun was too big!
Liu Jing and Liu Da looked from a distance on horseback. A huge square formation was stationed on the ground. The squares were layered inward, like a "city". The soldiers' uniform black armor made the city look like a city. It's like hell, terrifying!
Before approaching the army station, Liu Jing was intercepted by the outpost.
"Dismount! Who is coming?" A rough voice came from behind the big tree on the side.
Liu Jing turned his head and saw the figure under the shadow, wearing a standard black iron armor, holding a spear, and the spearhead was faintly pointed towards Liu Jing.
"I am the Sima of another department under General Huangfu Song Zhonglang. I know that General Zhu is stationed here, so I came here to pay a visit!" Liu Jing said after gesturing to General Liu to put away his weapons.
"You wait here until I go to report to General Zhu." After saying this, the sentry signaled in the other direction and ran towards the camp.
I saw another sentry appear in the shadow, staring closely at Liu Jing and Liu Da.
Liu Jing couldn't help but sigh that the military quality of Zhu Jun's troops was really high, and they were so mature in all aspects, and then he and Liu Da dismounted and stopped where they were waiting.
After a while, the sentry from before came back, "Sir, please follow me."
Liu Jing and Liu Da followed the sentry and walked towards the camp. As they approached the camp, the detailed deployment of the camp came into view.
The outermost layer is the deployment of elite infantry, and behind it are the infantry camps. There are marching trails at the four corners of the square that lead directly to the center, like four isosceles trapezoids distributed in all directions.
Further inside, a mobile cavalry force was deployed. Half of the cavalry had dismounted and rested, while the other half were still on alert and could be mobilized at any time.
To the inside of the cavalry is a baggage convoy, which is full of auxiliary troops and baggage vehicles, and is guarded by infantry and cavalry troops.
Needless to say, the importance of baggage in war is of course a factor in military morale and morale. An army without food will eventually collapse on the spot. Who would be willing to fight with you if they don’t even have food to eat?
The center is where the Chinese army's tent and flags and drums are located. The commander of the first army and the flags and drums are also the foundation of the army. The commander issues orders in the formation, and the soldiers receive the commander's instructions and respond accordingly according to the different changes of flags and drums. Actions.
After entering the Chinese army's tent, Liu Jing finally met Zhu Jun. The first thing he did was naturally look at Zhu Jun's specific attributes.
"Check the system!" Liu Jing looked at Zhu Jun and thought to himself.
The energy panel in the void that only Liu Jing could see unfolded:
【Name】Zhu Jun
【Age】35
【Command】84
【Force】63
【Intelligence】70
【Politics】71
【Charm】75
[Characteristics] Crush (all abilities of the troops are improved when attacking building fortifications, except cities)
See through (not easily disturbed by fake intelligence)
Fire attack (success rate increases when using fire attack)
Recruitment (it is easier to attract people to join the army when recruiting)
Soothing (there will be no rebellion in the service area)
【Bond】Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song
Seeing this, Liu Jing became greedy again. [Command] and [Characteristics] were very good. It would be great if he could get them.
After a quick inspection, Liu Jing saluted Zhu Jun: "General Huangfu Zhonglang's subordinate Sima Liu Jing comes to see General Zhu!"
"Prince Chen, you don't need to be polite." Zhu Jun stood up to greet Liu Jing. He did not address Liu Jing by his identity as a commander in another department, but called him Prince Chen, which gave Liu Jing enough face.
"General Zhu is so polite. I heard that General Zhu has arrived in Xingyang, so I thought of coming to see General Zhu. I came privately without informing you first, and disturbed General Zhu!"
"It's okay." Zhu Jun waved his hand. He was much younger than Huangfu Song and came from a poor family. He paid great attention to making friends with others and didn't have so many airs.
"When I entered the camp just now, I visited General Zhu's marching formation. It was really brilliant." Liu Jing couldn't help but sigh when he thought about Zhu Jun's camp formation. "I also hope to have the opportunity to learn from General Zhu."
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously! You are Guang Luxun's disciple, how can I talk about teaching? I can only learn from each other and confirm what I have learned." Zhu Jun's words put his status very low.
In fact, there are traces of his mentality. Back in Jiaozhi, Zhu Jun was so high-spirited that he defeated the Jiaozhi rebellion with only five thousand soldiers, and then allowed the people to recuperate and restore peace to Jiaozhi.
Coming from a poor family, he thought he would become famous at a young age, so the imperial court summoned him to Luoyang with an imperial edict and entrusted him with the post of admonishing doctor.
The admonishment doctor was actually a minor official. Compared with his previous job as governor in Jiaozhi, he was in a different place.
The admonishment doctor is not an independent official position, but a subordinate official under Guang Luxun, with a salary of only 600 dan.
The person currently serving as Guang Luxun is Liu Jing's teacher Liu Kuan, so Zhu Jun has always placed his status very low when treating Liu Jing.
This admonishment official lasted for three years. Ling Emperor Liu Hong was also known as the hedonistic emperor. The position of admonishment official was in name only, so Zhu Jun lost all his energy in Yong'an Palace.
It was a rare opportunity to counter the rebellion this time, and his plans for himself were different from before. He was born in a poor family and didn’t have a network of connections? Then he had to create a network of connections himself!
"Does General Zhu know about General Huangfu's march?" Liu Jing began to inquire about his own business.
"General Huangfu should arrive in Xingyang in three or four days. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry." Zhu Jun has a very close relationship with Huangfu Song. Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song are the commanders in charge of this rebellion.
When they were in Luoyang, the three of them had discussed the strategic situation in detail, informed Liu Hong of the plan, and received Liu Hong's approval.
The rebels are currently surrounding Luoyang, but Luoyang has a special geographical location. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is a natural military base.
Zhang Mancheng's army in Nanyang seems to be close to Luoyang, but in fact it is blocked by mountains and poses no threat for the time being.
The Yuzhou Yellow Turbans only need to march north to attack Hulao Pass, or they can go north to join forces with the Jizhou Yellow Turbans.
Jizhou Zhang Jiao is the leader and soul core of the entire Yellow Turban Taiping Road.
The strategy of the three generals is for Lu Zhi to lead an army north to attack Zhangjiao. Because Lu Zhi himself is from Youzhou and is more familiar with the terrain of Youzhou, Jizhou and other areas than the other two, it is a better choice for him to lead it. .
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun left Hulao Pass and went south to attack Yingchuan and Runan Yellow Turbans. After success, they attacked Nanyang Yellow Turbans.
While the two were talking, a soldier quickly ran into the camp.
"General! Come report from Runan!" After the soldier finished speaking, he panted heavily and glanced at Liu Jing.
"Liu Sima also went to quell the rebellion, but it doesn't matter." When Zhu Jun heard this, his expression became serious.
After receiving Zhu Jun's permission, the soldiers began to tell: "Runan has reported that Zhao Qian, the governor of Runan, led the army to fight the Yellow Turbans of Runan at Zhaoling. Governor Zhao's army has been defeated and is currently missing."
This news shocked both people in the tent!
The combined troops led by Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were only over 40,000, while the Yingchuan and Runan Yellow Turbans combined totaled 150,000.
The situation was unfavorable. The original strategy was to use the imperial army as the main force, with the local army as the auxiliary to divide the Yellow Turban rebels and defeat them one by one. Now that the Runan army has been defeated, the Yingchuan army has been blocked by the Yingchuan army and cannot leave the city.
The local army can no longer be counted on. If Yingchuan Bocai and Runan Pengtuo join forces, it will be in vain for Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song to join the army together.
Liu Jing was worried about the situation in Chen State. He left Chen State for Luoyang early and had no idea what the current situation in Chen State was.
The place of Zhaoling is very close to Yingchuan and not far from Chen State. If the Yellow Turbans of Runan turn around and attack Chen State, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Your Majesty, it seems I can't entertain you anymore." Zhu Jun smiled bitterly.
"What are you talking about, General Zhu? When we come out to suppress the rebellion, we naturally put the war first and your Majesty first." Liu Jing cupped his fists and bowed in the direction of Luoyang.
"The incident happened suddenly. I have to get there before the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan and Runan meet up." The defeat of the Runan army poured cold water on Zhu Jun, and his voice became a little dull.
"Understood! General Zhu has worked tirelessly for the sake of the country. After the victory, he will personally host a banquet to entertain him!" Liu Jing said very sincerely.
"Okay! It's a deal!"
After saying that, Liu Jing exited the tent and headed towards Zhongmou along the way he came.
Zhu Jun wanted to make friends with Liu Jing, but in fact Liu Jing also wanted to make friends with Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun seemed to have less achievements and development than Huangfu Song, but in fact he was also a hidden boss.
Not long after Zhu Junping rebelled and returned to Beijing, he was sent to Hanoi as a governor. During this period, he defeated Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army. He has always been a figure with military power.
Later, Dong Zhuo went to Beijing and summoned him to Luoyang. During this period, he wanted to collude with the Allied Forces. Later, when things failed, he fled to Jingzhou, and then led the army to Zhongmou, where Liu Jing is currently stationed.
Relying on his reputation, he lured many soldiers from various princes and led his army to fight against Dong Zhuo. However, he was defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si. Later, he entered Chang'an and died in the rebellion of Li Jue and Guo Si. .
Zhu Jun is very powerful and loyal to the Han Dynasty. He is definitely a handsome man. Liu Jing is a Han Dynasty and a disciple of Liu Kuan. Zhu Jun will definitely not harm him. Besides, he can learn a lot of attribute points from him, so why not.
