The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

"Now?" Yuan Shao was stunned.

Xun Yu also explained for Liu Zhaoqing at this time: "Speed ​​is the essence of war."

-

Afterwards, Liu Zhaoqing discussed the details with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

It was actually not very dangerous for him and Cao Cao to lead troops to chase Dong Zhuo, because even if they were discovered, they could not just run away if they could not defeat him.

On the contrary, the main force left in front of Hulao Pass is the most worrying thing, otherwise Liu Zhaoqing would not have let Liu, Guan, Zhang, Gongsun Zan and others stay behind.

Although he knew that the news of his departure with Cao Cao's troops could not be concealed for long, it would be good if it could be covered up for even one day.

Yuan Shao also agreed not to tell the princes for the time being, and explained to them that Liu Zhaoqing and Cao Cao were only going to explore the traces of the previous Xianzhen Camp and train their troops to guard against possible dangers in the future.

"My lord, Cao Cao is ready!" In the tent, Liu Zhaoqing was looking at the map of Sili with Xun Yu when they heard Zhao Yun's voice coming from behind them.

Seeing her energetic look, Liu Zhaoqing understood that she must be ready to go.

Not only Zhao Yun, but even ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers became alert when they heard that they were going out, even though they were not told the real purpose of this trip.

"Then it's time for us to leave." Liu Zhaoqing said to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu nodded; "I'm ready."

"Hmm? Wen Ruo wants to come too?"

"Zhao Qing, do you think I can't help?" Xun Yu said with a smile.

Liu Zhaoqing waved his hand quickly, and Zhao Yun was also happy to hear that Xun Yu was going to join them, "Miss Xun is a great person, my lord, don't forget her."

After nodding, Liu Zhaoqing thought for a moment and said, "Zilong, we need to bring one more person with us."

"Ah? There's another person? Are you talking about Zhou Cang? Or my daughter? They are already organizing a team."

Xun Yu smiled: "Zhao Qing is talking about Gao Shun."

"Gao Shun?" Zhao Yun was surprised.

Afterwards, not long after Liu Zhaoqing rode on horseback and led the team to the rear of the garrison under the cover of moonlight, they saw Cao Cao's army of more than 2,000 in the distance.

"Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Xun Yu are three outstanding people. Liu Zhaoqing is much stronger than me." Cao Cao, who was riding on a horse, joked when he saw Liu Zhaoqing riding over.

Liu Zhaoqing said helplessly: "Why don't you look around you?"

Although Cao Cao, the Xiahou sisters, and the Cao Ren sisters are not all outstanding people, their overall strength is comparable to that of Liu Zhaoqing.

"By the way, why is this person not tied up?" Cao Cao looked behind Liu Zhaoqing. Gao Shun was riding on a horse, and beside her was Zhang Liao.

Gao Shun: “…”

Even Gao Shun herself didn't know why she was brought along, and she was still a little confused even now.

Not to mention Cao Cao and Cao Ren and others around him.

"All our soldiers have been dispatched, and we are not at ease leaving her alone in the base, and..." Liu Zhaoqing glanced at Gao Shun sideways.

"Since she has been appointed as a vanguard, she should have some understanding of the composition of Dong Zhuo's army and can provide us with some intelligence."

"But I don't think she is someone who is willing to provide this information." Cao Cao looked at Gao Shun and said lightly.

Although the look in those eyes was calm, Gao Shun could see coldness in them.

Cao Cao could see Gao Shun's stubbornness, but since Liu Zhaoqing insisted on taking her with him there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, Gao Shun herself is not very strong, and with Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang watching her, she will be discovered immediately if she wants to do other things.

After Liu Zhaoqing's troops were lined up side by side with Cao Cao's, a decision that was so important that it would affect the outcome of the raid appeared before them.

"So, which path should we choose?" asked Cao Cao.

The alliance army had three routes. Except for the one facing Hulao Pass, there was still the Hebei route led by Jizhou Mu Han Fu, and the Yuzhou route led by Yuzhou Governor Kong Rong.

The two routes start from the Yellow River near Bingzhou and from north of Wancheng near Chang'an.

The distance between the two routes is so huge that it is impossible to take care of them at the same time. According to the news, Dong Zhuo may only choose to lead the army in person.

So if you decide to move quickly and without waiting for accurate intelligence, you must choose one path.

"If you were Dong Zhuo, which path would you choose?" Liu Zhaoqing asked Cao Cao without answering.

"Of course, we choose the route that is easy to fight. After all, we want to establish our authority." Cao Cao replied.

After he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "It seems that the result is obvious."

Waving the reins, Liu Zhaoqing looked towards the north and said, "Let's go. Before that guy collapses, let's find Dong Zhuo and go around him."

“Isn’t it an exaggeration to say that it will collapse at the first touch?”

"It seems that Meng De has never seen me when I was in Mobei. He saw how the people of Beihu behaved when they surrendered to me."

"That's true, I didn't see it, but this time, I was finally able to see it with my own eyes, haha."

Chapter 275 Han Fu Crosses the River, Tian Feng's Worry 5K

Four days ago, Jizhou, located in the southeast of Shangdang County of Bingzhou, was the area that was once famous throughout the world but has now become a forgotten county - Chaoge.

As the former capital of the Shang Dynasty, Chaoge, located west of Wei County, has many myths and legends. People also often see auspicious beasts riding on auspicious clouds and various strange and spiritual beasts here.

Some people say that this is a legacy left by the Shang Dynasty's fortune, but more people think that it is only because it is close to the mountainous Bingzhou, and the spiritual beasts that like to live deep in the mountains can be seen by more people.

However, not everyone can learn from the past by looking at the present. At this moment, in the western part of Chaoge, in a large military camp, there is someone who does not care how glorious the history of this place is. He just wants to leave here as soon as possible.

The purpose of leaving here is not to return to Wei County, but to go to Luoyang as soon as possible.

"Do we need to wait another two days?" Han Fu frowned. "We have already waited for four or five days. If we wait any longer, not only will Kong Jun's army rush into Chang'an, but even Liu Zhaoqing's army may defeat Lu Bu."

In response to Han Fu's words, the soldiers on both sides of the tent did not respond for a while.

Only Tian Feng bowed and said, "My lord, we have a large number of troops. Together with the princes of Hebei and Qingzhou, plus a group of new soldiers you have recruited, the total number is close to 120,000."

"So many soldiers come from different places, and it takes time to train them, and the supplies have to keep up."

"Wei County is less than a hundred miles to the rear. Is it difficult to get supplies?" Han Fu asked again.

"If food and fodder are really not difficult, Jizhou has no shortage of food and fodder. But my lord, the newly recruited soldiers need to be armed with armor and weapons, and you also said that you want to expand the cavalry by two thousand, so war horses are also a big problem." Tian Feng said.

"Whether it's weapons, armor, or war horses, we'll need to wait at least two days before they can be replenished."

"Continuously? Does that mean it may take more than two days?" Han Fu frowned.

Tian Feng bowed his head and responded. At this time, Shen Pei beside him also stood up and said, "My lord, don't worry. This period of time is just enough to train the soldiers and get to know each other, and to find out the news from Dong Zhuo, keep in touch with the other two groups, and even wait until Sun Jian arrives."

"How long do we have to wait for Sun Jian?"

"Sun Jian... I really don't know what happened. Logically, he should have reached Yuzhou by now." Shen Pei frowned.

Then he bowed and said, "But please think clearly, my lord. If the soldiers are not well trained and have no armor, weapons or horses, they will be no different from the Jiazi Army."

"My lord, you have participated in suppressing rebellions before, and you should know how vulnerable ordinary soldiers are without any system, formation, or weapons. If we want to attack Luoyang, we will definitely face Dong Zhuo's elite troops guarding the city. If we are not well prepared, we will be like thin paper meeting a sharp sword."

Shen Pei's sincere advice also made Han Fu gradually change his mind.

The Jiazi Army was so powerful at the time that it almost occupied the entire Jizhou. At that time, Han Fu was not even the governor of Jizhou.

But later, when the imperial court sent troops to quell the rebellion, led by Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and the regular troops from various states and counties, just one outstanding person was able to defeat thousands of soldiers. The speed of suppressing the rebellion can be said to be faster than pouring water on a fire.

At least the equipment is indispensable.

"Then, is there no way to speed it up?" Han Fu said, "I'm willing to pay more money to get their armor and horses shipped over faster, isn't that possible?"

"After the rebellion against Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo has already ordered a ban on providing weapons to us. The weapons and horses in other places have long been bought by other princes. Although Jizhou is not short of money, it is not a place to raise horses, and weapons and horses are not stored in large quantities like Youzhou and Bingzhou due to years of fighting with the Hu people." Shen Pei said.

"So, we can only send a large number of officials to other places such as Qingzhou to find and purchase them temporarily."

"What about Jizhou? Is there no place to train weapons in Jizhou?" Han Fu asked again.

"Yes, but..." Shen Pei paused for a moment, then continued, "My lord, do you still remember the Yellow River Rebellion?"

"A large number of forging sites were destroyed by the floods caused by the Yellow River Rebellion. Ju... Tian Feng and I once proposed to the Lord to provide relief, but..."

During the Yellow River Rebellion, it can be said that except for the only Pingyuan County, the counties on both sides of the river suffered great destruction. Although Jizhou was wealthy, due to the lack of attention to disaster prevention and relief, not only did it produce a large number of refugees, but it also did not recover as fast as Yanzhou.

The previous lack of attention ultimately caused the aftermath of the Yellow River Rebellion to still affect us today.

But Han Fu certainly could not admit this. In his opinion, the other counties did the same as he did.

Pingyuan County is the only exception. After all, if we really want to rescue those ordinary people, considering the extent of the disaster in Jizhou, the amount of money that needs to be paid can be said to be an unimaginable figure.

"However, if the lord is really eager to set off early, there are other ways to quickly purchase the weapons and horses." Tian Feng on the side said at this time.

"Oh?" Han Fu's eyes lit up, "Yuan Hao, please speak quickly."

"Not only are there many places for forging weapons in Youzhou, but also because Marquis Changping brought back the stars during his previous northern expedition to the Xianbei, there are now extremely precious and extremely durable meteorite iron weapons and armor." Tian Feng said.

"Meteorite armor?" These words surprised the generals below.

Even Gao Lan and Zhang He were interested.

As commanders, they certainly knew how precious meteorite iron was. If that thing could be made into weapons and armor, an ordinary soldier with great power could even fight against a powerful hero.

Ordinary arrows and machetes can hardly leave scratches on armor.

Thinking about the scene of the meteorites at that time, everyone had no doubt about Tian Feng's words. With so many meteorites, the meteorite iron that fell was probably enough to equip a million-strong army with a set of meteorite armor.

Of course, the premise is that there is enough time to build it.

"What Yuan Hao said is indeed correct..." Shen Pei thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Most of the troops led by Leader Liu are cavalry, who are not suitable for wearing heavy meteorite armor, so he must have a lot of them left."

"And I heard from merchants in the northern Hu that the various Xianbei kings respected him as Mohe Chanyu and not only contributed a large number of cattle, sheep, and jewelry, but also provided a large number of war horses."

"The war horses of the Northern Hu? They are comparable to the horses from the Western Regions." said a general.

"Yes, although it is a little shorter than other species, it has enough explosive power. If it charges, it will be unstoppable."

"Although the Marquis of Changping doesn't like cavalry, we need to use the cavalry wearing meteorite armor and riding Hu horses to attack the enemy head-on..."

It’s scary to think about it.

It can be seen that everyone is very interested in the good things in Youzhou, or Changping.

However, when Shen Pei and others said this, they also noticed that Han Fu's expression was not very good.

They also understand why.

"My lord, now is the time for us to work together to fight against Dong. We should put aside the past for the time being." Tian Feng said with a bow.

"And the Marquis of Changping is not such a stingy person. If the lord sends someone to Changping to explain the reason, I think there is a great chance that we can get help, and the money will even be less than purchasing from other places..."

"That's enough!" Han Fu suddenly shouted, then waved his hand and said, "Just wait for two days."

The implication is that the proposal of Shen Pei and Tian Feng was rejected.

Seeing Han Fu's unhappy face, the generals and soldiers tactfully did not mention it again.

After Han Fu asked everyone to leave, Tian Feng walked out of the tent and happened to meet Shen Pei.

The two men bowed to each other.

"Does Yuan Hao have any news about Ju Su?" Shen Pei asked as they walked with Tian Feng.

"Does Zhengnan want her to come back here again?" Tian Feng looked at Shen Pei.

"Yes, after all, such a young and outstanding person also has a very long-term vision, which is rare." Shen Pei sighed: "It's just that she is too upright."

"This is also an advantage," said Tian Feng.

"Indeed." Shen Pei nodded, then stroked his beard and said, "So Yuan Hao has no news about her?"

Tian Feng shook his head: "Since she was driven out... from the Han Mansion, she returned to her hometown. Before she left, she told me that she might go to Youzhou to take a look. She may be in Youzhou now."

"Youzhou..." Shen Pei suddenly sighed.

"Although it is a desolate place, it has many wonderful sights."

Tian Feng nodded, and then said: "But even if Tian Feng is found, she probably won't be willing to come back, although now the anti-Dong movement needs more people to participate, especially rare talents like Tianzi Renjie."

"However, given the Lord's personality... it is impossible for Ju Shou to be willing to come to Jizhou again."

"pity."

Shen Pei shook his head and said something.

Then the two of them came to a corner, and Shen Pei said to Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao should have nothing else to do, right? How about going to my tent for a cup of tea?"

"My tea was bought from Youzhou by my servant."
