After the first day of marching, Wang Zheng truly understood the meaning of the saying "Soldiers are more valuable and faster".
In ancient times, a strong army could travel hundreds of miles a day.
However, Wang Zheng's army only advanced ten miles to Zhao County for several hours.
This was beyond Wang Zheng's expectation.
He remembered that the last time he robbed the road to seize food, there were even thousands of people marching in the night. Although the movement was not fast, it was by no means so slow.
Most of the ancients suffered from night blindness due to their poor diet and insufficient nutrition. For the regular army, the difficulty of marching during the day and at night was not the same, not to mention the Qingzhou Army.
Wang Zheng deduced based on this at that time that when the incident occurred, it would be enough to attack Zhao County and march to the city within one day.
As a result, he made a mistake again.
Could it be that the word "rob" at that time fully mobilized the potential and enthusiasm of this group of thieves?
Wang Zheng was a little dumbfounded, and a comment came to his mind.
Of course, the real reason is naturally not this.
It was he who missed the team following Tianfu's Third Division.
This is a team of old, weak, women and children. Rather than following Wang Zheng closely, it is better to say that they reluctantly left the heavenly army.
Because their relatives and husbands are all in this heavenly army.
There are nearly 3,000 of them. Not only are their physical strength incomparable to that of young and strong men, but more importantly, when the total number of women, children, and the elderly exceeds a thousand, too many problems arise, and accidents occur more frequently.
Getting separated, getting lost, and falling behind in all kinds of ways.
Dropping packages, dropping household items, picking them up and looking for them again and again.
Falls, fights, lots of crying and yelling.
These trivial matters became more and more numerous as time went by, like a swarm of flies buzzing around Wang Zheng's ears.
What's even more helpless is that the Tianfu Department and even the Tiangang Department cannot sit idly by and ignore it. Wang Zheng... can only curse secretly and cannot sit idly by.
The connection between the two parties is too close, and both prosper and lose.
Once slow...it's natural to be slow.
In desperation, in the afternoon, Wang Zheng had to order the heavenly army to stop and set up camp and set up sentries.
He had to give the "aunt's team" behind him some breathing room.
Smoke curls from the kitchen.
Women and children buried pots to make rice.
Looking at the increasingly chaotic team that was mingling back and forth, Wang Zheng could only comfort himself.
"Actually, there is still progress." He smiled bitterly, thinking about comparing it to the team he had never seen before, the Qingzhou 300,000 Yellow Turbans.
If Cao's army were to attack at this time, they would probably be defeated in one blow. Even with the systematic presence of 2,000 Tiangang troops, they would be unable to save the day.
Although it was impossible for the opponent to be so fast, Wang Zheng still deliberately divided the two teams into three camps just in case.
The Qinggu Nai team and the Tianfu army are outside, and the Tiangang army is inside. If there is an attack, at least they can play a delaying role, allowing the Tiangang army to respond and prepare, and even store all the food, grass, weapons, etc.
In the camp of Tiangang Army.
The National People's Congress is very sensitive when it comes to differential treatment.
In his previous life, Wang Zheng was just an ordinary person, and his skills in dealing with people were not advanced. These days, many people can vaguely feel the difference in his attitude towards those who join the army and those who do not. There are even subtle differences between the Tiangang Army and the Tianfu Army.
Some of the people left in the military camp were dissatisfied because of this.
Wang Zheng didn't mind at all. Although he didn't advertise it widely, he never deliberately covered it up.
Equality for all is just a slogan.
As a modern person, he understands better than anyone else that there will never be equality in this world, forever!
It is best to be fair to those at the bottom of the class.
Give platforms and opportunities fairly, so that the lowest level can make a comeback and make progress.
And Wang Zheng thought he could do it.
The system is the most fair and objective existence, giving everyone equal opportunities and assessments.
If you sincerely trust me and serve me, you will naturally apply to join the team. If you are not strong enough, there is nothing you can do.
I am rebelling, not doing charity.
Join my team and enjoy better treatment. Those who have not joined will naturally not have the same treatment.
A group of more than 7,000 people who rebelled have been divided into two classes by Wang Zhengzhong.
Contradictions and opposition will inevitably occur at some point in the future.
But Wang Zheng must do this.
During the time travel, I witnessed the defeat of 300,000 Yellow Turbans with my own eyes, which actually left a strong psychological implication to Wang Zheng, who was completely ignorant of military affairs at that time.
No matter how many peasant rebel armies there are, it's useless!
So he was naturally completely inclined towards the elite soldier route.
This kind of rebellion at the bottom is in opposition to the aristocratic noble families. In terms of obtaining resources, there is no other way to obtain resources except plundering by force. It is very slow in the short term. It is even more necessary to concentrate resources to build elites.
It is impossible to move on today, he thought as he looked at everyone eating.
It's so slow during the day, do I still expect Grandma to accompany me on a night walk?
The next day, the rebels who had finished packing up set off again.
The speed still didn't change much. Wang Zheng's plan was disrupted and he felt anxious. The thought of abandoning these old, young, women and children flashed through his mind several times.
But he didn't lose his mind after all, because he would still need these elders in the future.
Elderly people had a unique status among the common people in the Han Dynasty, especially among the Yellow Turban bandits. Many of them had been the main force of the previous group.
After all, the journey was not far, and in the afternoon of that day, Zhao County finally appeared in front of us.
.....
Zhaoxian County Government.
Cui Xixi, the county monarch with a reputation as an official, was currently studying an official document carefully at his desk and couldn't help but play with a jade inkstone in his hand.
People who are familiar with him can tell that he is in a good mood at the moment just from his movements.
He has read this official document three times, and it contains:
On the fifth day, Chen Duwei was trapped in Jin and Guangwei was captured.
On the 9th, Cao Cao, the governor of Xuzhou, personally led the army and defeated Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, in Pengcheng.
On the 13th, the Yanzhou army defeated Fu Yang again.
"Okay, okay!" Cui Xun slapped the table and laughed, saying in agreement: "The troops are heading towards the front, and they will attack three cities in ten days. Zhou Mu is really Han Xin in the world, and he knows that soldiers are valuable and quick!"
He was born in a branch of the Cui family in Qinghe, and he was able to serve as a county magistrate with a salary of 600 shi, which was largely due to the good relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou in the name of avenging his father, but in reality it was a struggle between the interests of two groups, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Cui Xixi, who was both a Jizhou native and an official in Qingzhou, was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news that he had won consecutive battles.
Self-victory is the same as having glory.
Just for a moment, there was still a hint of gloom on his face despite the joy.
The forts outside the city owned by the two most powerful people in the county were burned down one after another overnight, and the head of the Zhao family was even killed on the spot, which made him feel strange and even more frightened.
Qingzhou is a ghost place. It’s not just a big group of refugees gathering to rebel, right?
He was afraid of another turmoil in the county he governed. In the past few days, he had told the city gate guards to step up their defense and be more vigilant. He also sent people to search the surrounding areas and found that there were no large groups of refugees, and he had not received any news of natural disasters or famines.
, I finally felt a little more at ease.
If it is a small group of bandits, no matter how fierce they are, they will not pose a threat to the county town with high walls guarding them, right?
He thought about it, but he didn't know why, but he always felt uneasy in his heart.
After thinking about it, I couldn't come up with an answer, so I called the officials and ordered: "Send a few people with quick hands and feet to the military camp and ask Captain Gong to send some men and horses to garrison the county town. Go quickly!"
After the order was issued, Cui Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
I probably thought too much, but I was prepared.
Small stocks are less than worthy of exposure, but big stocks...
Nowadays, the state's animal husbandry army is in full swing and is powerful throughout the world. Who would dare to make trouble in our Qingzhou without foresight?
