Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 456 The Game of Heroes 2
Although Cao Cao suffered such a loss, he had nowhere to reason.If it weren't for Gongsun Xu not being able to free up manpower, Zhao Yun led seven thousand cavalry to intercept, I am afraid that whether the two Xiahou brothers can return safely would be a problem. Cao Cao didn't think Gongsun Xu was a kind person. There is no reason to get back on the field.

Cao Cao has already seen this from the behavior of the Northern Xinjiang Army.Besides, the [-] cavalry on Zhao Yun's side can't be regarded as ruthless. The cavalry that the Xiahou brothers managed to form and the yellow turban army that they recruited were almost half lost, especially the cavalry. Cao Cao's cavalry is really good Not many.

Fortunately, Gongsun Xu only gave Cao Cao such a blow. Now the Northern Frontier Army is busy dealing with the Yellow Turban Army, and they don't have so much energy to entangle Cao Cao. Otherwise, the [-] cavalry led by Zhao Yun can continue to pursue Xia Houyuan The two of them will fight until Cao Cao comes to the rescue.

After Zhao Yun received his troops, he went north from the border of Yanzhou. He still had another task, which was to take all the stragglers and scattered Yellow Turbans to Le'an. Gongsun Xu built a rather large transfer station there, and all surrendered. All the Yellow Turbans will turn north from here.

Many people didn't understand that Gongsun Xu wanted to gather all the Yellow Turbans to Le'an.Kong Rong suggested to Gongsun Xu more than once that the Yellow Turban Army should be relocated as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Yellow Turban Army rebelled again, it would be difficult to end the matter. He wondered if he wanted to cause Gongsun Xu some trouble at this juncture.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has no less than one million people, and the number of refugees gathered in the north of Qingzhou is no less than 60. Except for those refugees who were surrendered by other princes, I am afraid that there will not be many refugees who will continue to flock here.It is not a good thing to gather so many Yellow Turbans north of Qingzhou. Even if they have surrendered, the danger has not been lifted.

Kong Rong is still providing him with a certain amount of food and grass as discussed with Gongsun Xu in advance. Fortunately, Beihai can afford it now.However, Kong Rong was still quite worried about Gongsun Xu's method of gathering refugees together.

Le'an still had a long way to go from Youzhou, and had to pass through Jizhou. When Gongsun Xu came here, he borrowed from Yuan Shao. If he went back this time, he had to discuss it with Yuan Shao.Perhaps Yuan Shao was afraid of the fighting power of the Northern Frontier Army and would not make things difficult for him, but who can guarantee that Yuan Shao will not trouble the Yellow Turban Army prisoners?In other words, if the captives of the Yellow Turban Army harmed certain places within Yuan Shao's jurisdiction on the way, Gongsun Xu would be responsible.

Of course, this is not to say that it was wrong for Gongsun Xu to gather the captives together.After all, there were too many captives, and many of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. Even if Gongsun Xu sent people to escort the refugees to the north in batches, he had to worry all the time that some forces would secretly plot against him.

Outsiders don't understand what Gongsun Xu is busy with. The senior management of the Northern Border Army is different. They are all very busy now. The pier in Le'an is almost built, enough for large warships to dock and unload.

Before Gongsun Xu went south, he sent people to choose a place near the sea in Yuyang to build a pier. Le'an has now started to use sea boats to transport refugees north.

The warships of the Beijiang Army Navy have experienced the test of wind and waves. As long as they are in the offshore area and the weather is good, these warships are unlikely to have accidents. Even when the weather is bad and the safety of navigation cannot be guaranteed, some ships You can choose to find the nearest dock to stop.You must know that before Gongsun Xu came here, he had already built temporary docks in Zhangwu, Bohai and other places close to the sea, which ensured the absolute safety of seagoing ships.

The first group to be transported was [-] young and strong, and they had to go to work at the Yuyang Wharf. Next, a large number of old and weak women and children would be transported to Yuyang by sea boat, which also required a lot of manpower.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner. Although most of the prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army saw the sea for the first time, and it was also the first time they saw the ships of the Northern Xinjiang Army, this did not affect their plan to go north by boat. Plan, in the face of starvation and survival, these people are very wise to choose to go north by boat, even at sea, there are many risks, but this is not escorted by the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Besides, the captives of the Yellow Turban Army have witnessed a large amount of marine products being dragged from the deep sea to the coast by warships these days, and many people have participated in the process of processing seafood. Coming and going, I haven't heard of anything happening, which is enough to comfort these refugees who survived the death.

After nearly a month, most of the captives of the Yellow Turban Army have been transported away by sea ships. At this time, all the princes who are still staring at Le'an are still waiting to see Gongsun Xu's joke After all, Gongsun Xu gathered so many people in one place, it is indeed easy for accidents.

When the last batch of warships left the dock, Gongsun Xu looked at the sea and remained silent. Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others stood behind Gongsun Xu, and they all admired their lord now.Even Zhao Yun, the veterans who have followed Gongsunxu for so many years, did not expect that the navy would play such a big role one day.

At the very beginning, Gongsun Xu's plan to form a navy was not favored by anyone. Almost all the generals suggested not forming or delaying the formation of a navy. It would be best to develop the cavalry first.However, Gongsun Xu insisted on implementing the plan to form a navy against all opinions. For this, Gongsun Xu invested a lot of money and energy.

Zhao Yun and others once discussed that if the navy is not formed, the Northern Xinjiang Army will have at least 20 more elite cavalry, and the Hetao side will not wait until now to be taken down.

In the first few years, Gongsun Xu poured money into the navy almost every year, and he could not see the benefits at all. At the beginning, the role of the navy was limited to being able to catch fish, until it gradually developed, The navy's ocean-going capabilities have increased, and Gongsun Xu sent people to investigate the situation on the other side of the ocean. Everyone has a different view of the navy.

At the end of the Northern Expedition to Hetao, Huang Zhong was hurriedly transferred to Lelang, and then it was reported that Huang Zhong led [-] navy, [-] cavalry, and [-] infantry to go to sea to fight.No one knew where Huang Zhong had gone, no one knew who Huang Zhong was going to fight, and no one knew what the consequences of the navy going to war would be.However, those veterans involved in the construction of the Northern Xinjiang Army understand one thing. From now on, the Navy will become a force independent of the Army.

But this time, the navy only participated in the forced landing of the [-] Yellow Turban Army in Le'an. Not powerful enough to board a ship and fight.

In addition, the navy was only busy fishing, transporting food and grass, and then transporting refugees. Five thousand naval officers and soldiers stayed on board every day to practice tactics such as landing operations and raiding beaches.Until most of the refugees were transported away and the last batch of the navy had to leave, the sailors did not take part in any actual combat.

But the generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army have seen the role and power of the navy. Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents during the long-distance migration of more than 60 refugees? Inconvenient or tired and fell halfway.

Such a large-scale migration, if there is no comprehensive plan in advance and the necessary safety measures such as sufficient food and grass supply, the 60 refugees may lose less than half. There will be no one out of ten of the people.Dong Zhuo's forcible relocation of Luoyang people to Chang'an is a bloody lesson. How many people will lie on the road of migration forever, and how many families will never be reunited.

It wasn't until there were no more shadows of warships on the sea that Gongsun Xu turned his head and said, "The people are all going to Yuyang, and someone will arrange for the refugees to migrate to the grassland in batches. We will stay here for another four days, and then we will leave the camp. go back.

Zilong, go to Beihai to say hello, and say that the last batch of food and grass should be delivered, and our army plans to leave in four days. In addition, we will withdraw the outlying sentries, so we don't have to stare at others now. If they want to come over to inquire Let them come over for the news, anyway, I only have soldiers left here, so I'm not afraid of them making trouble. "

After a pause, Gongsun Xu looked at Guan Hai who was standing at the back and said: "Guan Hai, you selected the [-] Qingzhou Army, I don't want anything to happen at this time, you have to understand what I mean.

The Qingzhou Army continues to train, and will come in batches to dismantle the docks here starting tomorrow.Oh, by the way, there is also the seafood that has just been delivered. You should also hurry up and deal with it, and leave a copy for my uncle Kong Rong, and treat it as a gift from me. I have stayed here for so long. He asked for so much food and grass, I was a little embarrassed.

After this period of training, I think the officers I arranged before should have been integrated with the Qingzhou Army. The next key training direction of the Qingzhou Army is military discipline. You have to pay close attention to this matter.I am not worried about the combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou Army, and I also believe in the loyalty of the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, but this military discipline must be the top priority, understand? "

"The general understands." Guan Hai clasped his hands and replied, "The general will let all the soldiers understand their identity. We are already part of the Northern Frontier Army."

"That's good." Gongsun Xu nodded in satisfaction and replied, "Let's leave it like this for the time being, Ziyi, send someone to inform Yuan Shao, saying that my northern border army is going to make excuses again. Find a way for us to go home. Needless to say, let’s see how Yuan Shao will react, if he has a wrong mind, hehe, my Northern Border Army is always waiting."

"The last general will do it." Tai Shici went to work immediately after receiving the order, and the other generals were also busy with their own affairs. After Gongsun Xu arranged things, he discussed with Guo Jia how to rectify the Qingzhou Army.Qingzhou Yellow Turban is finally over.

Few of the world's princes knew that Gongsun Xu had transported a large number of refugees away, and many people were still waiting to do something wrong. This time, Gongsun Xu might give them another surprise.
