Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 262 Hulao
The first year of Guangxi, August.

The summer is dull. Although Luoyang City has come out of the rainy season, a round of red sun hangs high on the top of the sky every day, reflecting the ground red, and the air is full of hot air waves, which makes people feel a little irritable. .

However, the civil and military ministers above the imperial court are still in a relatively good mood. Whether it is Mu Shan or Yuan Feng and Lu Zhi, they are all in a good mood at this time.

Ever since Yizhou Mu and Youzhou Mu expressed their opinions to Xinjun one after another.

Immediately afterwards, Yuzhou Mu Huangwan, Jingzhou Governor Wang Rui, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, Yangzhou Governor Chen Wen... and so on sent envoys to the imperial court to congratulate the new king on his succession.

When these big officials in one side of the frontier started to move, the prefects of all counties in the world naturally couldn't hold back, and immediately sent their confidants to send envoys to Beijing to congratulate the new king on his succession.

During the reign of Guangxi, it can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing the situation in the world.

The world is stable that day, and the court seems to be much calmer. Mu Shan is now busy figuring out the ways of the three lords and nine ministers. It is not possible to control the government by holding military power. There are many twists and turns in it. For a rough man like him, even with the assistance of Jiang Lu, Li Yan and others, it was still very difficult.

And Dong Zhuo is naturally busy now to hide his strength and bide his time. While flattering Mu Shan, he contacted Taiwei Lu Zhi, preparing to join forces with Taiwei, intervene in the world's military power, and stabilize his position as the chief minister.

And Yuan Feng, Wang Yun and the others are the backbone of governing the government. When taking power, they are also busy dealing with government affairs reported from various places, such as taxation, land disputes, promotion of officials, etc. It is really impossible to stabilize the government without them.

Therefore, the current imperial court has rarely ushered in a period of stability since the He Jin Rebellion.

Now that the court is stable, Mushan is naturally much more busy, and he doesn't care about Mujing anymore.

Fortunately for Mu Jing, he was finally lifted.

In order to cultivate his health, he was imprisoned in the mansion by Mushan for nearly a month, which almost bored him to death. After the ban was lifted, he did not wander around in Luoyang City, but prepared a carriage and left directly. After leaving Luoyang City, I went to Sishui Pass.

He wasn't very worried about Jing Pingjun, so after all, he had to go and see for himself before he could rest assured.

"Didn't you say that my health is almost finished? I'll just go for a few days. Why don't you worry?" Escorted by Jingping's personal guards, a carriage headed towards the east of Luoyang City. And go, inside the carriage, Mu Jing sat cross-legged, looking at Zhang Ning who was sitting across from him with a depressed gaze.

"I'm also Lieutenant General Jingping, so I'll go check on my son-in-law, okay?"

Zhang Ning was still dressed in men's clothes.

To be honest, sometimes Mu Jing really doesn't want to be in the same frame as her. When this girl dresses up in men's clothes, she does lose her masculinity and gain more femininity, but she can't hold back his beauty. As the saying goes, ninety-nine out of ten of those little fresh meats in the later generations will be given to him in seconds. Under the same frame, there is absolutely no room for his Mujing to exist.

"Row!"

Mu Jing said very consciously: "You can say whatever you want!"

"Tell you one thing!" Zhang Ning said.

"Say!"

"Uncle Huo said goodbye to me, he wants to reopen Jingping Wubei Hall!"

"Back to Nanyang?"

"It should be in the capital, and he is not willing to stand me too far away!" Zhang Ning flicked his hair, and a pair of black jade colored contact lenses sparkled.

"I'll arrange it!"

At the beginning, Jingping Wubei Hall was established by Mu Jing, but Mu Jing knew that Zhang Huo put the most effort into Jingping Wubei Hall, but because of the war, the first batch of students were sent to the battlefield in a hurry and sacrificed a lot , but those who survived were all the main officers of the Jingping Army, who were the skeleton of the entire Jingping Army today. It was their existence that allowed Mu Jing's Jingping Army to rebuild its combat effectiveness even after being defeated countless times.

Now it can be considered to have stabilized. The Jingping Military Equipment Hall has been reopened, and the training of Jingping officers can continue.

The speed of the carriage was not very slow, and they arrived at Sishui Pass in about a day and a night.

Sishui Pass is located in Xingyang City on the east side of Luoyang. It goes west from Sishui Town in Xingyang and crosses Sishui River. It is Sishui Pass. It is a barrier pass in the east of Luoyang. It is also connected to Chenggao County on the side, and it is also called Hulao Pass. It was named after King Mu of Zhou used to hold the tiger here.

The name of Sishuiguan is the official name of Guancheng today, but not many people in later generations may know it, but the name of Hulaoguan is well known in later generations. The first three heroes of Hulaoguan fought against Lu Bu, which will last forever things.

In fact, it is unknown whether there was a Sanying war against Lu Bu in history.

But the majesty and steepness of this pass is what Mu Jing personally saw.

In Guancheng, the surrounding walls are high and thick, at least four or five feet high, like a military town, surrounded by dangerous places, connected to Songyue Mountain in the south, and the Yellow River in the north, interlaced with mountains and rivers, making it a natural danger. There is a trend of "one man guards the gate, ten thousand men cannot open it".

"What a Hulao pass, the momentum of the Hulao is as stable as Mount Tai!"

At noon of this day, under the sunshine, Mu Jing was dressed in a white robe, standing tall and straight on the pass city of Sishui Pass, looking around at the surrounding terrain, he had to sigh.

If you haven't come to Sishui Pass in person, you still can't feel the precipitousness and majesty. No wonder Dong Zhuo was able to block many princes in the Kanto region with his own strength in history.

"Although the tiger prison is dangerous, it is useless without strong soldiers!"

Xi Zhicai stood next to Mujing and said in a deep voice.

"So we need a strong army to guard here!" Mu Jing said proudly: "One day, I will let the world know that Jing Ping's army is here, and the world cannot go beyond it!"

"Good ambition!"

Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes slightly, he saw the flamboyant and arrogant temperament of the young Mujing, and there was a slight change.

"How is Jingping's reorganization going?"

Mu Jing walked on the wall, asking questions as he walked, getting into the theme of coming to Sishui Pass this time.

After Jing Ping's army went south to Sishuiguan, Mu Jing was entrusted to Xi Zhicai. With Xi Zhicai and Chen Dao's ability, he would not be afraid of Zhang Liao's rebellion. Now it depends on how to deal with Shuofang's camp.

"Zhang Wenyuan is very assertive!" Xi Zhicai said.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Mu Jing stopped in his tracks, staring at Xi Zhicai.

"He convinced me!" Xi Zhicai shrugged and said, "That's why I didn't split Shuofang Camp!"

The plan they had agreed at the beginning was that after arriving at Sishuiguan, they would dismantle the Shuofang camp and replenish the strength of each battalion, which would also save the Shuofang camp from causing future troubles to Jingping's army.

"Tell me!"

Mu Jing knew that Xi Zhi would not release it for no reason, but Zhang Liao was able to persuade him, which was a bit unexpected.

"Shuofang battalion is not cavalry, but heavily armored infantry, heavy defense, more attention to formation coordination, training is not easy, split up, although it can avoid the hidden danger of Shuofang's infidelity, but it is also tantamount to abolishing martial arts!"

Xi Zhicai said: "It's not necessarily a bad thing to keep the Fang camp. As long as we firmly control Zhang Liao, we can guarantee the loyalty of the Shuofang camp!"

"Are you confident?"

"No!"

"Then what you said is really nice!" Mu Jing curled his lips.

"Although I don't have much confidence in the Bingzhou Army, I think Zhang Wenyuan can still use it!" Xi Zhicai said.

"Feeling?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"Intuition!" Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

"You made me trust your intuition!"

"You don't have to believe it!"

Xi Zhicai didn't ask for this: "It's not too late to carve up, as long as you give an order, Jingping belongs, and there is no one who will not obey orders!"

Mu Jing looked at him deeply, and said: "You have already made up your mind, so I naturally believe you, listen to you, and keep him in the camp!"

In the afternoon, Mujing inspected the drills of each battalion. Currently, there are six battalions in the Jingping Army, of which five battalions are direct descendants, and one battalion is Shuofang. The combat effectiveness of each battalion has recovered a lot. Even the Lengfang battalion has a lot of medicinal herbs With medical treatment, many people have recovered from the wounds left on the battlefield.

"How many soldiers are there in our army now?"

At night, in the Guancheng, there is a barracks. This is the meeting hall established by the Jingping Army. Mu Jing is looking through the roster of the Jingping Army in his hand.

Every soldier who becomes a soldier of the Jingping Army will register his name, indicate his region, add his age, and serial number, and then issue a military badge. The front is the name and number, the back is the Jingping logo, and the black mandala flower pattern.

"Nine thousand seven hundred and sixty seven soldiers!"

Huo Yu reported respectfully.

He was in charge of Jingping's internal affairs, established a Jingping internal affairs battalion under his command, was responsible for the logistics of the soldiers, and the statistics of various ministries. All matters related to casualties and pensions were under his management. Naturally, these things are the most clear.

"I want to expand the army!"

Mujing Road.

"Army expansion?"

In the barracks, Xi Zhicai, the military advisor, Zhang Ning, the deputy general, and Chen Dao Zhang Liao, the school lieutenants, all looked at each other when they heard Mujing's words.

"Is it too urgent!"

Xi Zhicai frowned.

Now the Jingping army has not been rectified. If it expands the army, it will take a long time to restore its combat effectiveness.

"You've also seen the situation at Sishui Pass. With our current Jingping troops numbering less than [-], do you think we can complete the defense of the entire Sishui Pass?"

"I'm afraid not!" Xi Zhicai shook his head.

"So it is imperative for us to expand our military!"

Mu Jing's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of persistence in his expression, and he said: "I always have a feeling that in the future, there will always be a bloody battle above the Sishui Pass. Since Jing Ping's army is guarding here, it will bear the brunt of it. We must plan ahead. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the army and have enough troops to guard it, so as to be as stable as Mount Tai!"

"The imperial court's establishment for Jingping's army is only [-]. Now that we have received the Lifang camp, we have exceeded half of the establishment. The imperial court will definitely not provide us with food and rations, and some people will even use it as an excuse to attack Mr. Tai Tuo!"

"Then I'll raise it myself!"

Mu Jing said confidently: "Let's not talk about many, I am capable of raising [-] soldiers. I have a workshop in Nanyang that can provide us with weapons and equipment. As for the others, take your time!"

Behind him is the entire Jingping Commercial Firm, not to mention more, there is absolutely no problem with [-] to [-] soldiers and horses.

"Do you want to expand more than 1 troops?" Xi Zhicai gasped.

"Hmm!" Mu Mu nodded.

"But son, where do we recruit soldiers?" Huo Yu frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Naturally the best place is Nanyang, but Nanyang is too far away from Guanzhong, and my father's Violent Bear Army and the Southern Army under Huang Shao's command are all planning to recruit troops from Nanyang. Go join in the fun, get materials locally, Guanzhong is not acceptable, then go to Chenliu, Dongjun, under the heavy money, there must be brave men!"
