Chapter 141 Liu Bei wants to attack

The area with the widest and densest distribution of Taiping Taoists was targeted by the three Zhonglang generals who divided them into war zones.

General He Jin, as the immediate superior of the three Zhonglang generals, commanded and led the three.

The initial military preparations have been made, and the next step is the specific division of responsibilities and the formation of the army.

The difference between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty is that at the beginning of the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to practical considerations and the rise of local separatist forces, Liu Xiu ordered to stop the formation and training of the Western Han County Guobing, and did not allow locals to have the County Guobing.

The Eastern Han Dynasty only set up a central army in Luoyang, and set up camps at border gates and local key points. When encountering wars, they were more accustomed to temporarily recruiting and forming an army. The Luoyang Central Army was used as the backbone to fill in, and then went to war. abolished in order to save military expenditures.

Regardless of whether the temporarily recruited army can fight, the army controlled by the Luoyang central court is a serious professional army, and its professional skills are still leveraged, not weak at all.

Moreover, although the machine of the Eastern Han Empire is old and decayed, if it really wants to work, it can still move forward a few steps.

On the first day of March in the seventh year of Guanghe, the emperor Liu Hong came to the stage to pay homage to the general, and he took Henan Yin Hejin as the general, and ordered him to take charge of the Taipingdao rebellion.

He Jin was grateful and expressed his willingness to work hard for Liu Hong.

So He Jin personally led the left and right Habayashi five battalions to station in Duting, armed with weapons, and guarded the capital.

He also ordered the establishment of captains to garrison at Luoyang Baguan to further strengthen the defense of the capital to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from the Kanto region from fleeing to the capital in case of emergency, threatening the heart of the Eastern Han Empire.

At the same time, the three Zhonglang generals who were about to go to the battlefield in a serious manner divided the Luoyang court's army almost.

General Lu Zhi, General Lu Zhi of Beizhong Lang, led the five school soldiers of the Northern Army to take charge of the Hebei battlefield, and confronted the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army that had already started an incident, striving to eliminate it and pacify Jizhou.

In addition, South Zhonglang General Zhu Jun and Dong Zhonglang General Huangfusong each lead an army, leading the five schools, Sanhe Knights and newly recruited elite warriors, respectively in charge of the two theaters of Yanzhou in Yuzhou and Xuzhou in Qingzhou.

In terms of the distribution of troops, the strength of the three commanders is not far apart.

The five schools of the Northern Army led by Lu Zhi had a total of more than 2 soldiers. Including the soldiers recruited during this period, there were about [-] soldiers who could give Lu Zhi command. Huangfusong and Zhu Jun The number of soldiers commanded was about the same.

It means that the three Zhonglang will each lead an army of 2 people, and they will face the Yellow Turban Army of Taiping Road all over the country.

As a Confucian general with rich combat experience, Lu Zhi completed the reorganization of the army as quickly as possible.

He scattered the elites of the Fifth Northern Army School as grassroots officers among the newly recruited recruits, set up the skeleton of the army, conveyed military orders, and let the recruits learn the military orders and conduct emergency drills.

They were just recruits, but none of the troops recruited by the imperial court in Luoyang and Sanhe areas could be regarded as recruits in the strict sense, because most of them were not recruited for the first time.

Recruiting and training once, and recruiting and training once, they themselves are actually more like reserve soldiers, and their military skills and military slogans have not been forgotten.

It's not hard at all to train them.

As long as the loot is enough and the food is full, the combat power they can display is definitely not to be underestimated.

During this intense and exciting preparation process, Liu Bei only did one thing.

Take the initiative to volunteer and fight for the big man.

Lu Zhi refused.

"Xuande, your wife and concubine are already pregnant, this battle won't be over for a while, if you go to the battlefield with me, if it's delayed for a long time, you may not be there when the child is born, that's not good. "

Lu Zhi was unwilling to let Liu Bei go out with him.

But Liu Bei has already made a lot of preparations for this.

Not only did he call Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Yong, Liu Sheng, and some strong men from the cottage to Luo Yangguang to join the Han army lineup openly in the morning, but he also wrote to his best friend again to invite him, hoping that he could come together with Luo Yang joined the army and made great achievements.

Before, Qianzhao was still thinking about whether he should come to Liu Bei after graduating from all studies, but this time, Qianzhao couldn't bear it anymore. He said goodbye to his teacher Le Yin and came to join Liu Bei.

It can be said that everything is ready and only the east wind is owed. How can it be suddenly powerless at this moment?
"Teacher, all the wives and concubines in the disciple's family have been sent to the father-in-law's home, and the father-in-law will take care of them on his behalf. They will watch over the whole day, and they will be safe. The home is safe, so how can the country not be safe?"

Liu Bei said this lightly, but it was not an easy task to convince Han Ning and Han Xiaodie to accept the fact that he was going to fight while pregnant, and Liu Bei himself was a little bit reluctant.

But this situation really can't allow him to indulge in his children's affair, so he can only endure his worries and ask his father-in-law and mother-in-law to take care of Han Ning and Han Xiaodie.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the old father-in-law and mother-in-law taking care of Han Ning and Han Xiaodie, but they are also worried about Liu Bei's choice in this matter.

It was difficult to convince them, but in the end they were persuaded.

Faced with Liu Bei's challenge, Lu Zhi had nothing to say, and could only pat Liu Bei on the shoulder.

"Xuande is dedicated to the country, and there are people in the big man."

So Lu Zhi accepted Liu Bei to join the sequence of crusade against the Yellow Turban Army just like a few years ago, and according to Liu Bei's ability and previous military exploits, he appointed Liu Bei as the army commander to lead an army with a staff of 1000. Follow him left and right.

After Liu Bei took over the military post, he packed up his team and stuffed all 1000 members of Liu's personal soldiers into the [-] people to become his military team.

But apart from Liu Bei's own original power, after learning the news of Liu Bei's expedition, many people became restless.

For example, Zhen Yan, who was able to take up a position at Shangshutai because of Liu Bei's care and promise, was very anxious when he learned that Liu Bei was going to fight, and went directly to the table to ask for a fight.

After getting permission, he set aside his position, put on his armor, brought twenty skilled knights from his family to prepare his own weapons and equipment, and joined Liu Bei's army. Protect Liu Bei's safety.

"You will never be in any danger until you die in battle!"

He gritted his teeth and swore to Liu Bei.

In addition, Luoyang and Liu Bei have a good relationship and the children of the six families that Liu Bei promised, Zhao, Li, Wang, Zheng, Yin, and Han, are also collectively agitated.

Now that the future has been promised, how can the present threaten the future?
When Liu Bei went to the battlefield, they had no reason not to follow him.

They reported to their families and parents one after another, prepared their own weapons, horses, bows and crossbows, and led some or a dozen soldiers who were brave and good at riding and shooting, and joined Liu Bei's army, willing to protect Liu Bei to the death.

In addition to the core circle around the Liu family in Zhuo County, Zhuo County in the future, more than 100 heroes who admired Liu Bei's prestige in Luoyang and Sanhe also came to Liu Bei's mansion, asking Liu Bei to follow him in battle and willing to protect his safety. He did not hesitate to risk his life for this.

They all said that if someone wants to harm Liu Bei, they must step over their corpses. Before their entire army is wiped out, Liu Bei's life will be unshakable!
So back and forth, relying on his own appeal and influence, Liu Bei directly recruited more than 400 skilled knights who joined the army just to protect him. A high-end skill.

These people did not join the army to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army. Their highest or only mission was to protect Liu Bei so that not even a hair on him would be harmed.

Of course Lu Zhi was happy about this, and thought it was a good thing that Liu Bei had so many people to protect him, so he accepted their joining the army, prepared rations for them, and provided logistical help.

In addition to these people who are willing to follow Liu Bei to the battlefield, Yuan Shao, as Liu Bei's "close friend", quietly sent Liu Bei some high-quality swords, bows and crossbows, as well as ten good horses, hoping to help Liu Bei go to the battlefield Things add to the boost.

"These things are not enough for outsiders, but if I don't give them to Xuande, I really can't rest assured. Xuande must cherish himself. When Xuande returns triumphantly, I will definitely hold a celebration banquet for Xuande."

Yuan Shao looked reluctant to let Liu Bei leave.

Of course, he was still a bit reluctant to leave Liu Bei, because although the battle was about to be fought, the political whirlpool in Luoyang City was still fierce, and Yuan Shao felt that without Liu Bei's counselor, he really couldn't grasp it.

But Liu Bei insisted on leaving, so he had no choice but to quietly obtain these contraband through his own channels and hand them over to Liu Bei, so that he could protect himself.

Liu Bei expressed his deep gratitude for this—see, I said that it is useful to have a good relationship with Yuan Shao. Although he is not particularly rich now, he can get some cash from him no matter what.

Compared with Yuan Shao, the Cao family, which directly received Liu Bei's favor and could change the fate of the next generation of the family, was more direct.

When Liu Bei was nervously preparing for the expedition, Cao Cao directly brought two strong men to Liu Bei's residence.
