Great Military Division

Chapter 455 Do something in advance!

Men are not ruthless, and their status is unstable.

Instead of sitting still, take the initiative.

Although the current form is not clear enough, if it continues, I guess I will become the ghost of Guan Cheng. In this way, not only will I lose my reputation, but I will even be unable to complete the task assigned to me by the master.

unfortunately
Guo Tu, the military advisor, was not in front of him, otherwise I could still have a discussion with him.

But now, you can only make your own decisions.

Yan Liang frowned, paced back and forth in the tent, thinking about how to avoid this disaster and control the team, and then let Xu Rong and Qingzhou Huangjin hand over smoothly.

As long as the two sides fight, even if only once, it can be regarded as weakening each other's strength, which is beneficial to the protagonist and has no harm.

"Damn!"

After thinking for a long time, Yan Liang finally cursed secretly, and decided to take the risk, otherwise the current good situation would be completely destroyed. As for Xu Rong's material hiding place, both sides fought together, and it would not be too late to find it.

Following that, Yan Liang immediately deduced various possibilities that would appear in the plan in his mind. After an unknown period of time, a fragrance suddenly floated into the big tent, and then a voice sounded:
"General, the rabbit meat is roasted, come and taste it."

It is Guan Cheng.

Yan Liang made a judgment at once.

He opened his eyes, trying to keep himself calm, with a faint smile on his face, and said softly: "General, I suddenly remembered something, and I need to explain it to my brothers."

"How about this? You gather all the military leaders to come to the big tent. While eating barbecue, we will talk about the next plan in detail, which will also facilitate our next actions."

Guan Cheng frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that something was not right. After all, before this, Yan Liangke had never found a general below him, and he passed on orders entirely through himself. Why did he suddenly have to summon all the generals? Woolen cloth?

"That's it"

However, Guan Cheng did not dare to act rashly, but asked tentatively: "General, could it be that we have found Xu Rong's material hiding place?"

"No."

After all, Yan Liang shook his head, so as not to be spotted by Guan Cheng, but he changed the subject and added: "But it should be soon. After hearing the report from the scouts, they found a large number of rut marks. This must be the grain for transporting supplies. car."

"Rut marks?"

Guan Cheng was stunned for a moment.

It's winter season, after a heavy snowfall, it's melting.

Some ruts on the road are extremely normal, so I don't suspect him, but I start to worry about the next plan.

The change in Guan Cheng's expression also made Yan Liang more certain that the person in front of him must have contacted Xu Rong's soldiers and horses through some means, or Xu Rong took the initiative to contact him, in short, he was no longer trustworthy.

Since this is the case, they can only take the risk, eradicate it, and strive to control this team by themselves. In this way, there may be some possibility of winning.

"Yes."

Yan Liang nodded affirmatively, and said with a long breath: "So, we must prepare with both hands, so that we can launch an attack as quickly as possible while finding the hiding place of the materials."

Have to admit.

The whole set of reasons is impeccable.

Guan Cheng had no reason to refuse, and immediately nodded, and said softly: "Okay, if that's the case, the general will come later, and I will immediately notify the commanders and generals of the army to come over."

"it is good."

Yan Liang nodded, "No problem, I'll wait for you."

Guan Cheng gave a simple acknowledgment, then turned and left the military tent.

And at the moment Guan Cheng left, Yan Liang's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately greeted the people beside him: "You, all the secret agents in the general quickly gathered near the military tent, listen to my signal, and prepare to attack."

The guard beside him bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Here."

Let's say that after Guan Cheng left the army account, he went straight to each army and notified them one by one.

After notifying more than a dozen people, Mo turned to Zu Mao's hiding place and found him: "General, something is wrong. Yan Liang suddenly wanted to call all the soldiers to announce his tactics, saying that he had found a lot of rut marks."

"impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Zu Mao denied it without hesitation: "I personally arranged the food and grass, and they are still hoarding in Langya. There is still some distance from General Xu's camp. How could we find the rut marks?"

"Yan Liang must be lying!"

Zu Mao gave the reason without hesitation.

"what?"

Guan Cheng was taken aback for a moment: "Then why is he like this?"

Zu Mao frowned: "Tell me about what happened after you returned to the camp."

Guan Cheng quickly nodded: "Okay."

Immediately, he told all the things that happened after he went back. Although it was relatively simple, he didn't leave any details.

hiss-!
Zu Mao frowned and took a deep breath.

He tried hard to think about the whole process, but he still didn't find anything suspicious: "Are you sure you were just roasting that hare, and nothing else happened?"

"Yes."

Guan Cheng nodded affirmatively: "I really didn't do anything else. Could it be that the hare made Yan Liang suspicious? But I have already followed what the general said, and it was hunted by the Orion. Isn't this normal? "

"I see."

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Zu Mao's mind, and he suddenly realized: "We hunted this hare, and the arrows of Nanyang soldiers are all three-edged arrows, and the wounds are different from ordinary double-edged arrows, and the wounds are even bigger. .”

"Perhaps ordinary soldiers can't notice the difference, but a fierce general like Yan Liang may not notice the difference. It's normal for him to think that you have betrayed."

Guan Cheng stared like a bell, his eyes were full of astonishment, and he couldn't believe it: "How is this possible? This kind of three-edged wound will be found? It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

"Don't be lucky!"

Zu Mao took a deep breath and remonstrated: "No matter what, we must think of the worst outcome, so as to keep the situation out of our control."

Guan Cheng agreed with this very much, and nodded: "General, tell me, what do I need to do?"

Zu Mao pondered for a long time, and immediately said: "General Xu once said that Nanyang is very good to the people, but it is relatively cruel to the yellow scarves above the middle class."

"Therefore, our advantage lies in the common people of the Yellow Turbans, while Yuan Shao's advantage lies in the generals above the middle level of the Yellow Turbans. If Yan Liang can subdue the generals above the middle level, it is equivalent to controlling the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou."

"I do."

Zu Mao hooked his hands, signaled Guan Chengfu to come over, and said in a low voice: "General, you can make a big announcement about your departure to Langya, so as to mobilize the emotions of the Yellow Turban soldiers and the common people."

"At the same time, we will mix with the common people and rush to the outskirts of the barracks. If you have something to do in the barracks, please send me a signal. Then we will destroy the enemy soldiers and horses as soon as possible, and rush over to support."

Guan Cheng nodded slowly: "Okay, after all, the generals of the yellow scarf are only a minority. If they can arouse the emotions of the soldiers and the people in the army, Yan Liang can only be dead even if there are thousands of people."

Zu Maoen said: "That's right, that's it."

Guan Cheng cupped his hands: "In that case, I will take my leave."

Zu Mao sincerely reminded: "Remember, be careful."

Guan Cheng nodded: "Don't worry."

*****
At this moment, the Yellow Turban camp in Qingzhou.

More and more generals came to wait in the military tent. They communicated with each other, with a touch of joy on their faces.

"I heard from Qu Shuai that we might have to act now, and we will finally wait until this day, and we won't have to worry about not being able to eat in the future."

"I don't want to live with such a day anymore. I heard that as long as the people of Hanting in Nanyang can share the fields."

"As long as there are fields to cultivate and food to eat, I am satisfied, and the days of fighting and killing are enough."

"That's right, I add blood to the head of the knife every day, I don't know when my head will fall off."

"But it's all right now, as long as you take refuge in the imperial court, you can live a good life."

"."

Listening to the voices of the generals in Qingzhou, Yan Liang always felt that something was wrong. This group of people had no ambitions, they only wanted to eat and drink enough, and they didn't have the slightest idea of ​​getting promoted and getting rich. This rhythm was obviously not good for him.

He tried to step forward, found a gap at random, and said, "Brothers, do you know Nanyang Hanting? They are really as good as you imagined?"

Although Yan Liang is dressed in coarse linen clothes like them, his overall temperament is obviously outstanding, especially his pair of star-like eyes, paired with his face like a knife and axe, gives people a kind of innocence. A close sense of sight.

"You are."

The yellow turban general beside him stared at Yan Liang, and asked tentatively, "Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"

The yellow turban general next to him nodded, and said kindly: "Yeah, I haven't seen you either, who are you?"

Yan Liang hurriedly explained: "Oh, I'm a newly promoted general under Guan Qushuai's command. It's normal that you haven't seen me, but you, I have."

The general of the Yellow Turban was relieved, heaved a sigh of relief, and said calmly: "We don't know Nanyang, so it's possible that you know Nanyang? The news from Xuzhou is definitely not wrong."

"Yes."

Someone else followed suit and said: "Nowadays, every household in Xuzhou has cultivated fields, and I heard that they all have more than [-] acres of farmland. This year, due to the use of chemical fertilizers, the output has increased significantly, with more than four stones, and some have reached Five stones."

"One mu of land can produce five stones of grain. Do you know what that means? It is more than three times the yield per mu before. The corn porridge that people drink at home can be stably inserted with chopsticks and stand up."

"It's not like being in Qingzhou, working hard every day, and after paying the rent, you still owe so much money to others, and drink all the water all year round, there is no comparison at all."

The Qing, Xu, and Yellow Turbans have always been one. They often wandered in Qingzhou and Xuzhou. It was only after Tao Qian entered Xuzhou that Xuzhou settled down, and a large number of Yellow Turbans entered Qingzhou for activities.

It is precisely because of this that many yellow scarves from Qingzhou finally returned to live in Xuzhou because of Xuzhou's stability and became ordinary people. Their news reached the ears of Qingzhou yellow scarves and naturally won the trust of many people.

Yan Liang is naturally very aware of this point, he knows that he can't do anything in this direction, so he can only turn to higher-level development issues:
"Of course that's true."

"but."

Yan Liang first affirmed their thoughts, but then changed the subject and asked, "That's only for ordinary people, but for you general, do you know?"

"this."

General Yellow Turban frowned, not knowing.

Yan Liang smiled, he likes to see this kind of expression the most: "Once we submit to Nanyang, the common people will naturally return to the farmland to cultivate, but I believe that a large part of the soldiers will continue to serve as soldiers."

"If you want to come to the general, you should also know that the benefits of serving as a soldier in Nanyang are very good. Ordinary soldiers can receive a certain amount of military pay, and higher-ranking military ranks have higher military pay. And once you have military exploits such as beheading generals and capturing the flag, you will be rewarded." It’s more like a cow’s hair.”

"hey-hey-!"

Speaking of this, a look of joy appeared on the face of the general of the yellow scarf.

This person proudly said: "That's right, if we submit to Nanyang Hanting, I'm afraid no matter how bad it is, we can be a military commander or something. Not only is the military salary high, but the benefits are also good. It can be regarded as the glory of the ancestors."

"Yes."

The man next to him also echoed: "My request is not high, as long as I can give it to a military commander. I heard that the annual salary of the military is tens of thousands of dollars, and it is stored in the bank, and the money can make money."

"The most important thing is that if you have a child in the future, the child will go to school for free. The court will cover everything. If you can be promoted in the future, you can become a general and pay more for the army. At that time, you can buy a three-entry courtyard. You can have a good time too.”

Ha ha.

Yan Liang could only hehe.

These guys always only have military pay and other things in their eyes, and they have no ideals and ambitions at all. Seeing this, they still want to be generals in Nanyang Hanting?

Bullshit!

Yan Liang let out a long breath, and said softly: "You know, the officers of Hanting in Nanyang have to sign a letter of responsibility for the performance of military duties with the chief general in the army."

"Oh?"

The yellow scarf next to him was stunned: "A soldier's responsibility statement? What is this?"

Yan Liang smiled lightly: "It's very simple. It is to stipulate how many training sessions you must complete this year, how many military books you must read, and even the death rate of the teams under your command should be controlled after a certain amount."

"what?"

The man's face twitched slightly: "What if it can't be done?"

Yan Liang shrugged: "That's easier, pay a fine, or demote."

"Damn it, I can't even write, how can I sign a letter of responsibility?"

"Can't even write? Then you can only be a little soldier running errands."

"Soldier?"

"Of course!"

Yan Liang nodded affirmatively: "You don't even know this? The Nanyang court, whether it is a county government official or a general in the army, all have to sign a letter of responsibility."

"Moreover, the imperial court also has a special supervision department that checks the completion status of these people every year. If they fail to complete, they will be demoted or even persuaded to quit."

"what?"

Huang Jin was stunned: "I don't know that at all."

Yan Liang was very satisfied with the other party's expression, and tentatively asked: "Do you still want to submit to Nanyang Hanting?"

"This"

Yellow Turban hesitated.

After all, this matter involves one's own vital interests, and no one can really not care about it, especially when there is a big gap with one's own psychological expectations, one will be even more hesitant.

Although the welfare of ordinary soldiers and common people in Nanyang is also very good, but compared with the military Sima in my impression, they are still very aware of it. Compared with it, they are naturally unwilling to accept it.

In the final analysis, these yellow turban generals subconsciously fantasized that they deserved the benefits of General Sima, but they didn't realize that these things did not belong to them at all.

What's more, the yellow scarf next to him sighed: "If this goes on, aren't we just like ordinary soldiers? We have to be like them, charging forward and attacking the city?"

In fact, everyone knows that the casualty rate of soldiers is very high. For the Yellow Turban General, the significance of being in this position is not at all how much benefits he can get, but in commanding soldiers and horses, without having to go to the front line in person and raining arrows on his head.

In short, the advantage of being a yellow turban general is that the hope of survival is far greater than that of ordinary soldiers, followed by added value such as identity and status.

Now, it is hard for them to accept that the yellow turban general who has finally climbed up has to be a pawn who needs to go to the front line in person and rain arrows on his head like the previous people.

"What? We surrendered to Nanyang, will we become soldiers? No military posts? This is impossible."

"If you are educated and educated, you will naturally become a military officer. If you are not, you may only be a pawn."

"Ah? No way, the general we became so hard to become, now we don't even give him an army commander?"

"Even if it is given, it is temporary. They will be assessed. If they fail the assessment, they will be demoted. Sooner or later, they will be a soldier."

"How is this possible? We are just farmers, how can we compare to soldiers in Nanyang."

"I'm already 35 years old, and I can't learn more than those people."

"Damn! Soldiers are well paid, but if that's the case, it's better to go back and farm."

"."

After a while, discussions about this matter rang out in the entire military tent. Everyone rejected the end of being a soldier, as if they had classified themselves and the Yellow Turban soldiers into two different levels.

Only a few yellow turban generals spoke up and said, "Even if I'm allowed to farm in Nanyang Hanting, I'm willing. As long as I can fill my stomach and have two houses to shelter from wind and rain, that's enough."

"No."

Someone else echoed, "We were originally farmers, and we had no choice but to join the army to rebel. Now that we have the opportunity to farm again, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing, who would want to be a soldier?"

"That's right, I'd love to be a farmer."

"I don't know how to be an official, and I don't want to be an official."

"Nanyang has high requirements for soldiers, and even higher requirements for generals. We are all farmers, so why not join in the fun?"

"Really think that I am a general in the team, and I can be a general anywhere? I am overestimated!"

"."

Yan Liang glanced over these people in a hurry, they were only a small part, only about seven or eight people, and their proportion in the entire general team was not worth mentioning, even if they were eliminated, it would not affect the overall situation.

That's right!

In this team of 20 people, there are at least hundreds of generals, which is the characteristic of the Yellow Turban team.

They are assembled from various small parties. No matter how many people there are in each party, even if there are only a few hundred people, there will be a general in charge of commanding the team.

Guan Hai is the largest branch of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou Beihai, so he is the commander in chief. All the other generals depend on him for their survival. Guan Cheng is the commander in chief of the party next to Guan Hai.

The general of Dafang is stronger, so he is particularly concerned about his status. Once he submits to Nanyang, he thinks that he can soar into the sky with this, and even if he can't, he must go further.

Xiao Fang's chief general was no different from a soldier, even in the whole team, they were just vassals, so they didn't care whether they were chief generals or peasants, what they were after was just food and clothing.

Yan Liang, who had been in the Yellow Turban Army for a while, quickly realized this. Originally, he also wanted to win over the powerful Yellow Turban generals. As for the small Yellow Turban troops with hundreds or thousands of people, he didn't care at all.

call-

Yan Liang heaved a sigh of relief, just when he thought he could handle all the generals in the Yellow Turban, suddenly, someone from outside the tent opened the curtain and came in hastily.

It was his own bodyguard, and he looked panic-stricken.

Yan Liang frowned and lowered his voice: "What happened?"

The guard replied softly: "General, something is wrong. There are a large number of yellow scarf people outside the tent. According to visual estimation, there are at least ten thousand people."

Yan Liang was stunned for a moment: "What's going on? Why is this happening? Where's Guan Cheng?"

The guard shook his head: "I don't know."

"Damn!"

Yan Liang gritted his steel teeth, resentful in his heart.

If there was a mutiny in the army tent, and it was because of the matter of returning to Nanyang, it would definitely arouse the anger of the common people. At that time, even if they had more than a hundred elites, they might not be able to withstand the anger of the common people.

"quick!"

Yan Liang made a decisive decision: "Get Guan Cheng back immediately, let him drive out the common people, and say that we can't leave for the time being, but we just want to announce some plans."

The guard bowed his body and bowed his hands: "Here."

Just when he was about to turn around and leave.

Guan Cheng lifted the curtain and entered with a smile on his face, "Oh, everyone's here, just in time, I have something to announce."

At this moment, Guan Cheng completely lost his humble attitude, which was quite different from before. Even Yan Liang himself felt something was wrong. He always felt that the next thing would definitely not be as he imagined.

Beside him, there was a man with a burly figure, a torch-like gaze, a steel knife hanging from his waist, and steady and vigorous footsteps.

"Qu handsome!"

"Qu handsome!"

"."

All the generals greeted Guan Cheng one after another.

Although Guan Cheng is not as prestige in the army as Guan Hai, but after all, he is already Commander Qu, and in the army, his prestige is naturally stronger than before, and he has gained the trust of all the soldiers.

Guan Cheng waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and then he walked forward, his eyes flicked past Yan Liang: "Everyone, I have called you here to gather today because there is an important announcement to be made."

"The general next to me is Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang. The death of Commander Guan Hai Qu was forced to death by them, not the sudden death as I said before."

"Now they want us to become enemies with Nanyang Hanting, and cut off our way to return to Nanyang Hanting. We have been silent these days, but it is because they have not found Nanyang's supplies!"
