I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 279 Liu Deran Recruits Six Generals

Seven days later, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived in Yecheng.

The day Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived coincided with the seven-day period for Liu Jian to guard Yuan Ji's spirit.

The two brothers also went to the mourning hall, worshiped Yuan Ji, and then came to Liu Jian's study.

In the study, apart from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, there are Zhao Yun and Yan Liang.

Liu Jian glanced at the two people back and forth, and said, "How is the arrangement with the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou?"

Zhang Fei said frankly: "This winter has been extremely difficult. It is not so easy to properly resettle nearly 200 million people. During this period, there have been several mutinies, which were suppressed by me and my fourth brother, but it was also a loss." Liu Qingzhou is a good ruler. At the end of last month, the matter of resettling Qingzhou Yellow Turbans was settled. Now, whether it is farming, building water conservancy, planting mulberry trees, raising silkworms, making salt, printing books... Anyway, as long as there is a shortage of people Put these yellow scarves on top of the place, and now I look back, hey! I found that this person is not enough!"

The four brothers that Zhang Fei said were Guan Yu, that is, recently, Zhang Fei insisted on ranking these brothers in order of age, Liu Bei was the eldest, Jian Yong was the second, Liu Jian was the third, and Guan Yu was the fourth.

Liu Jian nodded and said, "It's a good thing that there are not enough people. I'm afraid that if there are enough people and many people are idle, it will be troublesome for the industry of a state."

Guan Yu said to Liu Jian: "According to my brother's order, select the strongest and strongest soldiers from the millions of Yellow Turbans, implement military settlements, and reclaim the wasteland in Jizhou and Qingzhou. You can go to battle in every battle, and you can farm without a battle!"

Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction: "Your Liaodong vassal state can also adopt this method of military settlement."

Guan Yu nodded in agreement.

Guan Yu has never rejected the advanced techniques created by his elder brother Liu Jian, and everything takes Liu Jian as an example.

"How many pawns of the Qingzhou army that can be mobilized now, if they are soldiers?"

Zhang Fei said: "As much as you want to adjust, even if you draw [-] people, it is enough. It's just that the fourth brother said that if too many Qingzhou soldiers are recruited into battle, the follow-up food burden will be too heavy, and it will consume too much wealth in Qingzhou and Jizhou." Big, but also to mobilize civilian transportation to ensure logistics..."

Liu Jian nodded and said: "What Yun Chang said is very true. It is not the number of people that is fought in war, but the main thing is money and food. It is meaningless to raise more troops. It is better to raise them better."

Guan Yu said: "Someone and Yide formed the most elite Qingzhou army of [-] from the yellow scarves for my brother to use."

Liu Jian was very satisfied with Guan Yu's way of handling affairs.

Now the Jizhou soldiers and horses under his direct control are less than [-]. In addition to the [-] Qingzhou soldiers, the [-] main force is just within the burden range for him. The number of soldiers was stretched.

As for the soldiers and horses raised by the princes and kings in various places, it does not involve Liu Jian's local finances, and at critical moments, Liu Jian can also use Xu Rong as his captain and control their subordinates for his own use.

Now, let the soldiers of the princes and kings replace the county soldiers, and perform the tasks of defending the security of the county and the country and suppressing bandits.

Liu Jian looked at Guan Yu and said: "This time to attack Dong Zhuo, among the [-] Qingzhou soldiers, I took [-] to practice in actual combat. You Yunchang has three thousand Liaodong elites in your hands, and Zilong’s Bai Mu soldiers will be with the army, and I will bring another five thousand for the Jizhou army, so there will be more than [-] troops!"

"As for Brother Bogui's soldiers and horses, let him bring them back to Youzhou by himself, and unite with Huang Zhong to prevent the Hu people from northern Xinjiang from taking the opportunity to attack."

"Here in Jizhou, I will keep Xu Rong and Xia Houlan, as well as the [-] elites from Jizhou, who will sit in Yecheng and cooperate with Master Lu to keep an eye on Youzhou. If Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun make a move, they can be picked up immediately! "

Zhang Fei counted with his fingers for a long time, and wondered: "Then, there are still more than [-] Qingzhou soldiers, [-] Jizhou soldiers, and Gao Shun's [-] trapped camps. Where do you plan to place your brother?"

"Of course it will be handed over to Xuande. The industry in Qingzhou is booming, and it may be our economic center in the future. Xuande must have soldiers available! In addition, Cheng Pu and Han Dangwo will also send them to Qingzhou to assist Xuande, the stability of Qingzhou is very important to us."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei said with some regret: "Han Yigong is my deputy..."

Liu Jian said angrily: "What deputy, can I keep hanging around with you in the future? Yigong is also what I want to focus on training, and I will use him to be alone in the future!"

Zhang Fei sighed regretfully.

"By the way, Wu Cen, the inmate of the Liyang camp, Yide will find some time to have a good talk with him later, let him resign from his position in the prison and go back to his hometown to retire.

The Liyang Camp has always been controlled by the camp supervisor and the school lieutenant, but now the world has changed. Dong Zhuo, who represents the central government of Luoyang, has had a fierce conflict with the local government, similar to the prison camp in the Liyang Camp. Those who belonged to the eunuch forces in the past, but now the Liyang camp has become Liu Jian's private soldier through Zhang Fei, so Wu Cen has no role in the Liyang camp.

If you stay any longer, you will die sooner or later.

Zhang Fei sneered and said, "This eunuch has taken a lot of our property! And let him take care of himself? Why don't you kill him to relieve your anger!"

Zhang Fei has always valued scholars and bureaucrats and despised low-level soldiers, but since he was educated and guided by Liu Jian, he has changed a lot. However, although he does not provoke eunuchs on the surface, he still hates them in his heart and wishes to kill them. Then fast.

"Hey!"

Liu Jian stretched out his hand and blocked Zhang Fei's words: "It can't be like this. We must be honest when we behave and do things. We cooperated with the eunuch to control the Liyang Camp at the beginning. We took the initiative. Although the other party took our money, he did not deny it. , Wu Cen has been relying on you for everything in the Liyang camp all these years, and he has not done anything wrong to us, if you kill him now, what is the difference between our brothers and the gangsters?"

Guan Yu stroked his beard, but did not say a word.

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm joking with my brother! Don't worry, I'll go and persuade him later!"

Liu Jian looked back and forth at several people and said, "The four of you will fight with me, and I will send Zhang He and Gao Lan to go with me. This time, you six will be the main force in the battle against Dong Zhuo."

Zhang Fei said: "It's not like we didn't fight the Xiliang Army last time, and they're not as powerful as the rumors say!"

Zhao Yun said calmly: "You can't be careless about Yide. The Xiliang army is a powerful army in the world, and Dong Zhuo's [-] people are also under Dong Zhuo's command. Looking at the world, no matter the number of soldiers and horses or the elite level of soldiers, they are all at the top of the Han Dynasty. Once we fight against each other, neither of us has the heart to fight to the death, and most of the opponents are partial teachers. This time, it is a life-and-death fight, which cannot be compared!"

Guan Yu stopped stroking his beard.

He suddenly opened his Danfeng eyes, and said proudly: "I have heard for a long time that in the Xiliang army, there are not many generals who are accustomed to fighting. It is really a blessing to have the opportunity to compete with them."

Liu Jian looked at Yan Liang again.

As a frugal fan, Yan Liang's fighting spirit is also high at the moment, and he is eager to establish his position in Jizhou by virtue of this war.

After all, the previous battle in Qingzhou did not give Yan Liang a chance to fully play.

"My lord, Yan Liang is willing to be the vanguard!"

Seeing that everyone was full of fighting spirit, Liu Jian felt very comforted in his heart.

Although the Xiliang army is very powerful, as long as their morale does not drop, they will have the strength to fight.

And if the morale of one's own side is not to drop, the key lies in these generals who command the troops.

They are the courage of the three armies, they are the soul of the three armies.

"Okay, since you brothers are not afraid of the Xiliang army, then this battle, as a brother, I know it well!"

"At the beginning of next month, it will be an auspicious day. Our army will go to Luoyang! At that time, it will be up to you!"

"No, I will fight to the death and live up to my lord!"

.........

In the third year of Chuping in the Han Dynasty, in July, it was midsummer, Jizhou Mu Liu Jian sent [-] troops, with Guan Yu and Zhao Yun as the vanguard, Gao Lan as the rear army, supervising the grain road, and a core team of six fierce generals, marched to Luoyang .

The accompanying people this time include jushou and trial.

On the other side of Yecheng, he handed it over to Tian Feng, but he deliberately left Xun Yu to assist Tian Feng in governing Yecheng.

At that time, Han Fu, the governor of Youzhou, also went to Luoyang with soldiers and horses from the governor's department of Youzhou. He sent someone to inquire about Liu Jian, hoping to join forces with Liu Jian, but was severely rejected by Liu Jian.

Liu Jian did not embarrass Han Fu, but he made it clear that he would not join forces with Yuan Shao.

He sent troops for only one purpose, to avenge Yuan Ji!

Liu Jian's soldiers and horses were all wearing white clothes and white armor, holding high the white flag of "revenge", and more than [-] mourners marched towards the south bank of the Yellow River!
