Chapter 202 Xiyuan Li Eighth School ([-])

I heard that now Shangyi will set up a new army, and my brother should take it.

The war in Liangzhou is coming to an end, Xiping should plan for the future, and the new army is bound to win.Fearing that there are not enough people around my brother, I sent Pang De to help.Virtue is my brother's confidant, and if I have been in Longxi for a long time, my brother must be suspicious.The son is quite talented and can help Xiping.

Li Ru's letter has no title or signature, but it has already explained everything.

Dong Bi put down the letter and said in his heart: The emperor formed a new army, I didn't expect that even my brother-in-law already knew about it.Presumably, there is also the meaning of father in it.It seems that what Guo Jia said yesterday was not just alarmist talk.

He picked up another letter and opened it, but two pieces of the letter fell out.

One is written by Chen Daosuo: Qu Yi has a great talent, and is good at military affairs, winning ten times.The lord can be of great use...

The other letter was from Jia Xu: There is nothing serious in Longxi, and Xu has arrived in Zhangye.Shao has talent, and the matter of stationing troops is complete, so there is no need to worry too much.Liangzhou is stable, and the lord must be in danger. When you hold soldiers and horses in your hands, you will be invincible.The new army will be established, and the lord will definitely take it... If the new army is won, the lord will have no worries in the near future.Xu should look at it from the Western Regions, and hope that the Lord will cherish it a lot.

Another new army!

Dong Chuan took a deep breath and frowned.

Guo Jia said so, Li Ru said so, even Jia Xu said so.

It seemed that they had already noticed something, but they didn't make it clear.However, Dong Bi was a little angry, and the meaning in Jia Xu's heart clearly meant to watch the fire from the other side.He didn't understand what Jia Xu was thinking, but he always felt a little uneasy.Especially that sentence, if you win a new army, you will have no worries in the near future.What about the future?
Anger comes back to anger, Dong Bi also understands that it seems that he must seek a position in the new army.

Although Jia Xu is in Zhangye, his prestige is not high, and even many people don't know his existence, so it is estimated that there will be no disturbance.Chen Dao and Huang Shao had life-and-death acquaintances with Dong Bi, and they were also extremely intelligent, so Dong Bi was not worried.And Pei Yuanshao and others can be said to be Dong Bi's confidantes, and the friendship between life and death cannot be shaken by Jia Xu.Regardless of Jia Xu's intentions, Dong Bi can more or less understand: this is Jia Xu's test for him.

At the beginning, Dong Bi forced Jia Xu to submit to him with death, but he hadn't shown enough ability to make him do his best.

This old fox seems to be planning to take revenge, watching the fire from the other side, watching a good show!
Although it's a little unethical to do so, if it's done well, Jia Xu will definitely have no reason not to try his best.

Those who are capable probably have this problem.

Thinking of this, Dong Bi was not angry anymore.Since he decided to test me, it shows that he is optimistic about me to some extent.

That night, Dong Bi held a banquet in the mansion to welcome Pang De and Qu Yi.

At the banquet, the duties of the two of them were also arranged by the way.

There are currently five battalions in Beigong, among which the Luanwei battalion is all female soldiers, and Ren Hongchang can only be in charge.There are four battalions of guards outside the palace, and there is one battalion without a general, which was taken care of by Zhang Xiu before.Chen Dao said that Qu Yi was good at military affairs, so he simply handed over this battalion to Qu Yi to be in charge, and the official worshiped the general Yamen.The other three battalions are each served by three old men from the Beigong Army.These three people are still doing their best, and it's not good for Dong Zhuo to assume their positions without authorization, otherwise it will arouse suspicion from above.

However, these three battalions have actually been controlled by Dian Wei and Zhang Xiu, so they are not worried about their rebellion.

After contemplating for a moment, Dong Bi ordered Pang De to take charge of Bolangshi.After all, Zhang Xiu is now the commander of the army, and he handles many things in the Beigong army. He really doesn't have much experience to worry about Bo Langshi's training.Pang De is also a fierce general, and also the official Baiya goalkeeper. Although he is in the sequence of the Beigong Army, he is actually in charge of the training of Bo Langshi.

Once things were arranged properly, Dong Bi let out a sigh of relief.

"From today onwards, all battalions must step up their training and not slack off in the slightest!"

"Here!"

The generals stood up and took orders.

Both Qu Yi and Pound were obviously very satisfied with Dong Bi's arrangement.

And Dong Bi also wanted to see, one was a stranger who was praised by Chen Dao as "I am not as good as him", and the other was Pang De, who had a close match with Guan Erge in history.Although these two are still young, they must not disappoint Dong Bi.

The next thing will depend on when the new army will be established.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, seeing the world is in good shape, in Luoyang City, people are singing and dancing.

Just when people thought that a peaceful and prosperous age was about to come, a major event suddenly happened in Changsha County, Jingzhou, which once again put the Han Dynasty, which had stabilized, in turmoil.

Ou Xing, a native of Changsha, was originally a Taiping Taoist. Dissatisfied with the exploitation of the new Changsha prefect, he summoned [-] Taiping Taoists to kill the Changsha prefect, and then gathered a crowd to rebel, and quickly gathered thousands of people to occupy Changsha. .

Ou Xing claimed to be a general, and he attacked the city and occupied the counties around Changsha in ten months, with great momentum.

Compared with Zhang Ju's original rebellion, Ou Xing is very smart.

But afterwards, Ou Xing revealed his identity as a Taiping believer, claiming to inherit Zhang Jiao's mantle, which attracted people from all over the world to vote.In just one month, the number of rebels soared from a few thousand to 5, and Jingzhou was viewed as a tiger.

"Feiyan, have you ever heard of this star?"

Located at the deep foot of Rang Mountain in Runan, there is also a team of people, only about [-] in number, but they are extremely capable.

Dazhai is built on the mountain, divided into inner and outer villages.Inside are old and young women and children, who are in charge of farming and weaving; the outer village is divided into three villages, and the Chinese Army Dazhai has 4000 people. The left village is built on a hill, and the right village stands in the open ground.

The three villages are in the shape of a corner, and they can support each other.

The commander-in-chief of Dazhai was Zhang Yan who had withdrawn from Wan County. The commanders of the camp on the left were Liu Pi and Gong Du; the commander of the camp on the right was Zhang Baiqi, who was originally part of the Black Mountain Army.

Zhang Baiqi used to be a general under Zhang Niujiao, and he had a brotherly relationship with Zhang Yansu.

When Zhang Niujiao died, Zhang Baiqi was in charge of guarding Gaoyi, but he was caught off guard by Dong Zhuo, so that he lost Gaoyi and took his troops to Jizhou.Guan Hai formed an army in Montenegro, and was favored and assisted, with great momentum.

Zhang Baiqi then went to seek refuge, but Guan Hai was just a young general under Zhang Niujiao at the beginning, but now he suddenly became Zhang Baiqi's boss, so naturally he felt uncomfortable.In addition, Guan Hai listened to Man Chong's opinion, focused on his own development, and continued to grow his strength, but never mentioned revenge for Zhang Niujiao or Zhang Jiao, which made Zhang Baiqi even more dissatisfied.

Guan Hai raised his troops, only looting but not occupying the city, and Zhang Baiqi's dissatisfaction finally broke out.

At this time, he got news from Zhang Yan.Zhang Baiqi refused to accept Guan Hai, but he was very convinced by Zhang Yan.

So before the battle, he suddenly retreated with his troops and rushed to Runan to seek refuge.It was also because of his sudden retreat that a gap appeared in Guan Hai's defense line. He was defeated and fled within a day, and had to retreat to Montenegro.

Similarly, the three of Bai Rao had to leave Jizhou and go to the Sili area to survive.

Zhang Baiqi didn't know the news until he arrived at Rangshan, so he felt ashamed.Fortunately, Zhang Yan persuaded him, which made him feel better.Now hearing that Ou Xing raised the yellow scarf banner, Zhang Baiqi felt extremely excited and came to the Chinese Army Dazhai to inquire.

Zhang Yan also got the news and was about to let someone inform Zhang Baiqi and the three of them.

Hearing Zhang Baiqi's question, Zhang Yan couldn't help but said: "Why, haven't you heard of Ou Xing?"

"It's the first time I've heard of it!"

At this time, Gong Du and Liu Pi rushed over, and Zhang Yan hurriedly asked them.

It's no wonder that he and Zhang Baiqi were originally under the command of the northern commander Zhang Niujiao, and they didn't know much about the Taiping Road in the south.

Unexpectedly, Liu Pi and Gong Du also looked confused.

"Who is Ou Xing? I've never heard of it..."

Gong Du said: "Feiyan, the church members in the southern states, even Jiaozhou and other places, even if it's just a handsome guy, the two of us have heard of it more or less. But the star in this area really doesn't know... probably even a Neither is Xiaofang, I don’t know.”

"Damn villain, how dare you pretend to be a general?"

Zhang Baiqi respected Zhang Jiao the most in his life, followed by Zhang Niujiao.As for Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, they were filmed after Zhang Mancheng.Hearing that You Xiaoxiao falsely used Zhang Jiao's name, how could he not be angry?In his opinion, Zhang Yan is now the most authentic descendant of Zhang Jiao. When will it be the turn of that little man?When he left Jizhou, he couldn't get used to Guan Hai being the leader.

On the contrary, Zhang Yan calmed down, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly smiled.

"Forget it, since this guy wants to use the name of General Tiangong, we might as well give him a chance... The government has also started to pay attention to us in the past two years, which is really not conducive to development. Why don't we take this opportunity to raid Runan and kill the people from Runan?" All food, grass, gold and silver were looted... Generals Liu and Gong are in charge of this matter, remember to evacuate the treasury in Runan for me."

Gong Du laughed and said: "I have this intention, and I will live up to the general's expectations. Hehe, I heard that this year's Runan has a bumper harvest, and the grain and grass are piled up like a mountain. If the treasury is emptied, our Rangshan Army can expand to more than [-] people , there is no need to worry about food and grass for two years."

Zhang Baiqi said: "What about me?"

"Brother Baiqi followed me to attack and harass Xuzhou... At the same time, we need to create momentum. We want to support the star thief in that area. Baiqi, I know that you want to revive the great cause of foster father and the others, but it won't be time, really won't come Time. Guan Hai did a good job in Jizhou. He didn't occupy the prefectures and counties, but only plundered them. In this way, the official army will end up in a difficult situation. But once they occupy the prefectures and counties, it is tantamount to exposing our strength to the public. The officers and soldiers...we are still too weak now."

"Feiyan, don't worry, I will never make the same mistake a second time. This time I will go with you, we will fight as you say!"

In July, Runan fell.

The remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou all over the country responded to Ou Xing one after another, and the Feiyan army passed through Xuzhou and plundered all the way.

Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou, ordered Zang Ba, the captain of cavalry under his command, to send troops to intercept, but he was drawn into the desperate situation by the Feiyan army, and the entire army was almost wiped out.

Tao Qian was furious and wanted to kill Zang Ba.

Zang Ba, who also felt aggrieved, was also in a rage, and led his generals Sun Guan and Wu Dun to leave Xuzhou and stand according to Mount Tai.

Zang Ba, courtesy name Xuan Gao, was originally from Hua County, Mount Tai, Qingzhou, and he had little strategy.

His father, Zang Jie, once served as a jailer in Hua County, but was taken into custody because he refused to obey the order of Taishan prefect to kill people for personal gain.

In a rage, Zang Ba took dozens of people and robbed his father during the escort, and later fled for his life in the East China Sea, known for his bravery.During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Tao Qian took over Xuzhou, and Zang Ba was attached to Tao Qian. He defeated the enemy several times, which can be described as outstanding achievements.

But because of this, Zang Ba is quite famous in Xuzhou, so that Tao Qian has scruples.

The crime of punishing Zang Ba this time is not so much because Zang Ba's conquest is unfavorable and the loss of soldiers and generals is more to eradicate dissidents.Tao Gongzu was originally a very neat person, but as the official got bigger, he became more and more cautious.

Hearing that Zang Ba had left Xuzhou instead, Tao Qian was furious.

Immediately, he sent Cao Bao, a fierce general under his command, with [-] troops, to Mount Tai to destroy Zang Ba.

Cao Bao, who was born in a local rich family in Xuzhou, also has strategies.But although he has many soldiers and generals, Mount Tai is Zang Ba's territory.Unfamiliar with the terrain, he was attacked by Zang Ba along the way, losing troops and generals.In the next battle in Huaxian City, Cao Bao, who was already exhausted, was beaten and fled in embarrassment. When the 8000 troops returned to Xuzhou, they were already less than [-].

This is not the end. While Cao Bao was on the expedition, Tao Qian received a request for help from Qingzhou.

There was a Yellow Turban rebel He Man who rebelled in Qingzhou and asked Tao Qian to send troops to help.

When Tao Qian received the news of Cao Bao's defeat, he couldn't help but gasp.Then Zang Ba, actually has such ability?

Qingzhou is powerless to rescue, and the fire in front of his house has not been extinguished.

After hesitating again and again, Tao Qian followed the suggestion of the new Bie Jia Mi Zhu, and wrote to Luo Yang, requesting the imperial court to send troops to quell the rebellion.

In mid-July, Tao Qian's request for help arrived in Luoyang.

On the same day, Yuan Shao, who quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jizhou, rode his horse from Zhengyangmen into Luoyang City complacently.
