Zhu Kui asked the young emperor Liu Bian to issue a manifesto to the eighteen princes to fight against Dong Zhuo and conduct the king's mission, and took away nearly half of Jiangxia's elite troops, even the two thousand knights left, and two-thirds of the crossbow.
car.
He served as the prefect of Jiangxia for two years. What he did was to persuade farmers was the first, the second was to make money, followed by scientific research, academic research, etc., and finally the recruitment. In fact, the Yellow Turban soldiers surrendered by Zhao Ci's rebellion were almost all transformed by him.
The matter of storing the people and secretly training the fields is a secret trick to hide the troops from the people.
Farming is the foundation of food and grass, and wealth is the blood of war. When conscription, it must be based on a city with a prosperous population and economy, otherwise it will only waste people and damage the foundation. When Zhu Kui, Jiangxia and Zhu Kui first took over, it was when the rebellion had just stopped, and the foundation was very fragile.
After several years of hard work, Zhu Kui finally restored the confidence to flourish in Jiangxia County, which was damaged by rebellion.
This is why there are 30,000 elite troops in the county magistrates, all concentrated in the county magistrates, training only for war, and not doing other tasks. It is somewhat similar to the model of the imperial guards in the capital of the Song Dynasty, and was born for war.
Of course, it is not appropriate to use the Iron Blood Defender to describe Jiangxia's soldiers, but it still has the level of the Emperor's Army of the Great Han Yulin.
The 30,000 soldiers were taken away by Zhu Kui, and the remaining 10,000 were concentrated in Jiangxia City. In the remaining county towns, Zhang Hong naturally maintained Zhu Kui's fixed policy, so he naturally did not add troops and sought the county.
Soldiers, regardless of whether they are concerned, only collect taxes.
Jiangxia County has strong external forces and can get down to the main city of Jiangxia, so other counties are naturally not worth worrying about.
But if we don’t divide the troops to capture other county towns first and stay there, it will eventually be a hidden danger in our hearts. We have been there. Whether we consume more troops, these are just a little trouble that day. For the commander who knows the army and is good at formation, it is very easy.
Ear!
When two armies are fighting, a head-on decisive battle is the focus of victory or defeat.
After Zhu Kui left Jiangxia, the generals who were guarding the city were Wang Cheng, the deputy generals were Zhou Tai, Chen Gong, Hua Xin and others. Among them, Wang Cheng was his brother, who grew up wearing his crotch together and trusted him the most.
He was naturally given the right to act as a county magistrate, and Zhu Kui also valued him the most.
Unfortunately, Wang Cheng's general's temperament is often related to literature. He is unfavorable to the complex people's livelihood and government affairs. Therefore, he always carries new novels sent from Moling, Jiangdong, or some military books and strategies books that Zhu Kui repeatedly advised.
, read it repeatedly, waiting for Zhu Kui to review it when he comes back tomorrow.
Wang Cheng sat on Zhu Kui's previous office seat and case, supporting his chin with one hand, holding the book with the other hand, slanting his eyes, reading page by page.
After a while, outside the lobby, Zhang Hong, wearing a black Confucian uniform, walked in with a stack of documents.
I saw Wang Cheng's look of reading, frowned, and then said in a reprimanding tone: "Jizu, your chin is about to fall off. Be careful that your saliva will stain the book. You must know that these are all the words of the saint."
Hearing Zhang Hong's slanderous accountability, Wang Cheng replied in disregarded tone: Mr. Zigang's words are too outdated. Since my brother made a new white paper, the words of the saint have long been vivid.
On paper, the price of five pieces of paper is only a few words. If this book can help me understand the saint's words, what is the use of keeping it? It will no longer be a pity to destroy it."
It is obviously not the first time Zhang Hong has heard Wang Cheng's misunderstandings, but every time he listens again, he always has to let the excitement flow up and he has to refute it with all his lips and tongue.
"How can the words of a sage be discussed by the words of the slander of the stinky value? They are priceless things. Your brother also has words. Using valuable papers to carry the words of priceless sages, it is the most important thing for us descendants to do.
What you do is also the most glorious thing."
"It can be seen that the lord respects his ancestors. You should treat the saint's book as nothing. This... is really..."...
Zhang Hong began to speak more and more and more and more and more and more and more, he became more and more unable to stop talking. Wang Cheng was immediately afraid, how dare he argue more? Literati debated the most annoying thing in the world, can he stand up? Just as before, he sued the crime and comforted him:
"Sir, don't be angry! Sir, don't be angry! I'll remember it."
Having said that, it is really unknown how much I remember it.
Wang Cheng started talking and quickly helped Zhang Hong hold the heavy official documents in his hand. He asked: "Are these documents that need to be stamped in the past few days? Leave them all to me. I will definitely do it.
Is it good to apologize to the sir?"
Looking at such a laughing face, Zhang Hong gave him a look, knowing that this guy was helpless, and hummed: "The son is not taught!"
Then he called the official document in his hand heavily to Wang Cheng's hand.
However, this strength was like a feather in Wang Cheng's eyes. He yelled for a moment, and was not annoyed. He was not confused at all in his hand. He read every volume carefully. After passing it, he took it.
He put up the seal of the county magistrate on the table and pressed it neatly.
Such solemnity, perhaps Wang Cheng had the meaning of checking his brother's appearance. This thought was related to his growing environment. Compared to this, he had not been able to listen to him nagging at Zhu Kui: "The aristocratic family is available, it is not trustworthy!
You must observe it!"
Not long after the seal was stamped, Zhang Hong was about to take it away. At that time, a county soldier rushed into the conference hall. Seeing that he looked, he didn't wait for the other party to speak. Zhang Hong was from a literary family because he was from a family of scholars.
Because of this, it was a famous scholar, and they all had the idea of strong ethics and rules. They immediately asked: "How can such a rash person be so concise in the lobby!"
The county soldier was gasping for breath, and when he was drunk, he couldn't help but pause and got stuck there.
At this time, Wang Cheng spoke for him. He was a military general, so he naturally didn't value these things. Seeing the soldiers coming in in a hurry, he knew that something big must have happened. He rescued him: "Sir, just kidding you, don't worry, just say it slowly
, What exactly happened?"
But thinking of the urgent matter, the county soldier dared not say slowly: "General, it's not good. A large number of soldiers appeared outside the city. General Guanhai came to our territory and had already gone up to the city tower and closed the four doors.
”
"What? Now it is the time when all the princes are fighting against Dong Zhuo's alliance, who dares to be so bold and openly destroy the Dong Zhuo alliance?"
"Is it a bandit in the mountains in the county?" After hearing this news, Zhang Hong first disbelief, and then made a guess: "No, even if there are bandits in the county, it will not be very large, and there will be no one who dares to attack the county town.
courage!"
Wang Cheng, who was beside him, snorted coldly and stood up.
"Let's go! Go up the city tower, I want to see who bullies my brother no longer, underestimate me and dare to offend me Jiangxia!"
Wang Cheng was like a tiger and rushed out. Zhang Hong's voice came again: "Jizu is waiting for a moment!"
Zhang Hong chased him out. As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly thought of an important matter and said, "Jizu, now the enemy is invading the territory again. In Lin'an Palace, your Majesty's safety still needs good care of his life."
Wang Cheng then calmed down and said in surprise: "Is the other party coming for the Emperor?"
Zhang Hong nodded and explained as he walked: "I just thought about it for a while, remembering that military information was transmitted back a few days ago. He said that Liu Biao in Xiangyang had repeated mobilizations, but his intentions were unknown. I guess there were ten invading soldiers and horses.
Eighty or ninety are from Liu Biao, Xiangyang."
"It was Liu Biao who wanted to plot against me, Jiang Xia!"
After hearing Zhang Hong's inference, Wang Cheng thought it was very likely, but what he thought was that if he hit, he would be the same as everyone else. Liu Biao also heard that the third brother admired him a little, and maybe he could make him.
Command a great battle well.
He said, "Hmph, you will know it at first sight!"
When the two of them arrived downstairs of Xicheng together, they immediately met Chen Gong, Hua Xin and Jiang Wan who also received the news. At that time, the three of them were staying at their homes to rest. Who would have woken up after getting the news from the soldiers?
, I was anxious and arrived.
Nowadays, the man who is in charge of Jiangxia is Wang Cheng appointed by Zhu Kui. He showed off and greeted him calmly, and without saying much, he went up to the city tower first.
On the top, Guan Hai, who had a knife mark on his face, had already been wearing armor and looked at the distance with a strict face. The crowds of people were closed, and the city gate below was placed down, and the iron bars of defense were placed.
After wave after wave, half of them set up camp behind, and half of them came forward in a formation in a formation. Wang Cheng looked at the number and situation of the blocks in the queue, and thought that the county soldiers who reported the news did not say anything, there were more than 100,000 soldiers.
.
The flags were indeed flying among the crowd, and the words in the center of the army were big: "Liu!" Only Liu Biao was the only soldiers with Liu as the banner, but Zhang Hong did not expect that the seventh floor of soldiers were here in Jingzhou.
