Zuo Feng's face was also flushed, and his mouth was so happy that he never closed it.
Dong Zhuo also kept flattering Zuo Feng, making Zuo Feng smile happily.
Jia Ronghuaxiong and others also followed Dong Zhuo to send the angel out of the camp. Before leaving, the angel said to Dong Zhuo: "Don't worry, Lord Dong. I will definitely speak good words for you in front of the Holy One. Lord Dong has made many contributions in the frontier."
"
Dong Zhuo kept thanking Zuo Feng.
After the angels had gone away and could no longer see their figures, Dong Zhuo's flattering expression immediately disappeared and was replaced by his usual dignified expression. He turned around and shouted to the generals behind him: "Go back to camp!"
Looking at Dong Zhuo's unkind expression, Jia Rong knew that Dong Zhuo must also be unhappy. He was also a general on the battlefield, but no one could stand the constant flattery of a eunuch.
Although Dong Zhuo was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo did not give up control of his original troops. In Dong Zhuo's view, all officials are empty, and only military power in the hands is the most real.
Dong Zhuo did not go to Bingzhou to serve. Although he was the governor of Bingzhou, the Han Dynasty's war against the Qiang people was not over. The battlefield was not just Gaoping County. This time the entire Western Qiang rebelled, and the Qiang people attacked and looted cities on the border of the Han Dynasty.
The people on the border were displaced; in order to quell the rebellion of the Qiang people, about 200,000 troops were stationed on the border.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, troops were stationed for the Qiang rebellion for more than ten years, and military expenditures reached more than 24 billion. The financial resources of Bingzhou Liangzhou were exhausted by military expenditures.
The army was stationed at the border to guard against the Qiang people. In the past ten years, the Qiang people had rebelled three times. The Han army fought with them hundreds of times, but they could not completely wipe out the Qiang people. Because the Qiang people were basically cavalry.
Mounted horses are soldiers, dismounted are civilians. The army is highly mobile and it is difficult for the Han army to find its main force for a decisive battle.
Although the Han Dynasty also had cavalry, they were in the minority after all. For officers like Dong Zhuo who were born and raised in Xiliang, although the cavalry was not in the minority, it could not be compared with the Qiang people.
As a result, this war became a protracted war.
Although the border is in chaos, it is an opportunity for military generals. What military generals hope to encounter is war. Only war can allow them to gain fame. The Qiang Rebellion lasted for ten years and produced many famous generals, such as Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan.
, Duan Ying, achieved fame all because of the Qiang rebellion.
The people at the lowest level are the ones who suffer the most. Not only do they have to send their young men to the army, but they also have to pay heavy taxes every year. Especially the people in Liang and Binzhou. After such a long war, their livelihood is even worse.
.
In the following days, the army was stationed in Gaoping County, and the daily routine was to train the troops.
During this period, Jia Rong expressed to Li Ru that he wanted to go back to Lijiacun, but Li Ru, citing the busy military affairs as an excuse, said that he could not go back until the army had completely settled down. Although Jia Rong was very dissatisfied with Li Ru's statement,
I still agreed respectfully, Li Ru, I can't afford to offend him.
Ever since Li Ru talked to me last time and found out his identity, I have been careful in everything I do, even my usual words.
Unable to return to Lijiacun, Jia Rong stopped thinking about it for the time being; in the subsequent training of soldiers, Jia Rong stepped up his pace. Compared with the soldiers of the other five divisions, his own soldiers had great shortcomings, and their experience in battle was not as good as that of others.
Those hundreds of soldiers from other tribes.
Soldiers will suffer great losses if they do not know how to form battle formations on the battlefield. While Jia Rong focused on training cavalry, he did not forget to teach infantry battle formation training.
During this period, Guo Bang continued to teach Jia Rong about war knowledge. Guo Bang taught Jia Rong the battle formations of soldiers on the battlefield. Jia Rong studied very seriously. Although he came from the future, he had a certain understanding of historical trends.
However, when it comes to war, I am just a beginner. After all, there is a big difference between what I learn in writing and how I apply it in practice.
Although the soldiers are still the young soldiers they were before, they have all grown up after experiencing two wars. Jia Rong is also constantly increasing the intensity of training, which is more demanding than the training of later generations of armies. It seems that these soldiers are not trained.
The attitude of becoming an elite soldier and a strong general will never give up.
The soldiers also followed Jia Rong's training silently, and were not disgusted with Jia Rong's behavior. They also knew that only by becoming stronger can they have an extra chance of survival on the battlefield. After seeing the cruelty of war, no one would
You are joking with your own life.
The cavalry also made great progress under Jiang Yu's training. After a period of hard training, Jia Rong was able to perform simple actions such as chopping on a fast-running horse.
Jia Rong did not return to Lijia Village in the end, and could only bury his endless longing for Xiu'er in his heart.
The New Year's bell rang again, and it was nearly two years since Jia Rong came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In this year, the Han Emperor issued a decree to change the name of the year to Zhongping. This year is the first year of Zhongping.
In the first year of Zhongping, there was a severe drought across the country, and people in many places had no harvest. Instead of reducing taxes, the Han emperor increased the burden on the people, because the Xiqiang War was not over, and the Han emperor continued to maintain the expenses of the battlefield.
The people were desperate, and it was common to see people selling their children for food. In order to survive, many people sold their fields to wealthy noble families at low prices.
In February of the first year of Zhongping, Zhang Jiao, a Taiping Taoist, falsely said, "The sky is dead, and the Yellow Sky will stand; if you are born in Jiazi, the world will be auspicious." He led his followers to revolt. The rebels all wore yellow scarves on their heads, so they were also called the Yellow Turbans.
soldiers.
Zhang Jiao has been the founder of the Taiping Sect for a long time. He often travels around to draw symbols and treat diseases for the people, and the treatment for the people is free. He has a high prestige among the poor people, with hundreds of thousands of followers. He uses his influence among the people to
The right to speak in the heart divides the believers in the eight states of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Yu into thirty-six parties, with more than 10,000 people in Dafang and six to seven thousand people in Xiaofang. Each party has a canal.
, under his unified command.
Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong", and his younger brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were respectively "General Digong" and "General Renggong". They led the believers to attack various states and counties.
The poor people who had no way to go joined the uprising army one after another. The Yellow Turban soldiers snowballed and became stronger and stronger. In just one month, the number of Yellow Turban soldiers increased from more than 300,000 to more than 700,000.
The Yellow Turban soldiers burned down government offices, killed officials, and robbed everywhere. Within one month, fighting broke out in seven states and twenty-eight counties across the country.
The Han Emperor hurriedly summoned General He Jin and asked him to organize troops to garrison the passes around Luoyang to protect the capital and set up passes all around Luoyang City.
At the same time, an edict was issued, asking all states and counties to recruit soldiers to eliminate the Yellow Turban rebels.
The news reached Gaoping City, and Jia Rong was discussing with Guo Si how to train cavalry for combat. When he heard the news of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Jia Rong sighed in his heart that what was supposed to come had come. The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping was as recorded in history.
If it breaks out like that, people's lives will not be peaceful in the future.
Guo Si was shocked when he heard about the Yellow Turban Uprising. He did not expect that anyone would dare to openly challenge the majesty of the Han court.
One month later, the Han Emperor's decree came, appointing Dong Zhuo as Zhonglang General and Hedong Governor, and sent troops to the Yingchuan area to suppress the Yellow Turban soldiers.
The governor of Hedong was naturally more practical than the governor of Bingzhou before Dong Zhuo. The governor of the Han Dynasty at this time was just a false position. To put it bluntly, he did not even have the rights of a governor. It was not until the Yellow Turban Uprising that the Han court strengthened the control of every state and county.
In order to rule the country, the post of Zhou Mu (the evolved version of the governor) was established to have full authority over the affairs of a state, so that the governor had real power.
After Dong Zhuo received the order, he immediately reorganized his troops and appointed Hua Xiong, Guo Bang, Niu Jin, Li Cui, and Jia Rong as captains. He commanded five troops and sent out troops as soon as possible.
Jia Rong also became a lieutenant. He recalled how many ups and downs he had gone through from having nothing in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to becoming a lieutenant in the First Army. Now the soldiers he leads have grown up. What they lack is just the ability to fight on the battlefield.
Through continuous training, the teenagers in Lijiacun have also matured, and they are no longer the lively teenagers who surrounded him on the training ground in Lijiacun two years ago.
Three days later, Dong Zhuo led his army to Yingchuan, where the Yellow Turbans were rampant.
On the way to Yingchuan, Jia Rong saw that many people's houses were burned down along the way, and the fields were ruined and turned into wasteland. In many places, there was no human habitation for dozens of miles. The entire Han Dynasty revealed the decline of the Han Dynasty.
.
The three armies marched slowly towards Yingchuan. At this time, a horse galloped towards the central army. The sentinel dismounted, saluted Dong Zhuo and said: "General, the Yellow Turbans were found ten miles ahead. There are about ten thousand people."
After hearing the news reported by the sentry, Dong Zhuo immediately sent an order to stop the advance of the three armies, and then summoned Hua Xiong, Guo Si and other generals.
After the five captains arrived, Dong Zhuo said: "There are more than 10,000 Yellow Turban thieves ahead. I don't know who among the generals dares to fight. They will knock out the majesty of our army and let the Yellow Turban thieves see the power of our Xiliang army."
After Hua Xiong heard Dong Zhuo's words, he immediately stepped forward and said without any thought: "General, I am willing to go."
Listening to Hua Xiong's powerful and confident voice, Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and said: "General Hua is worthy of being the number one man in our army."
After receiving Dong Zhuo's praise, Hua Xiong scratched his head happily and didn't know where to put his hands.
Seeing Dong Zhuo's eyes looking at him, Jia Rong stepped forward and raised his hands to Dong Zhuo and said: "General, I am willing to take this humble position and wear the yellow turban to make my army famous."
Seeing Jia Rong come forward to ask for orders, Guo Si also expressed his willingness to go and fight the Yellow Turbans to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo saw the generals' enthusiasm and laughed loudly and said: "With the help of all the generals, it will be easy to defeat the Yellow Turban Thief."
However, Dong Zhuo did not give an order. Instead, he asked Li Ru behind him: "What do you think of the virtuous son-in-law?"
