Chapter 739: Commanding the troops against the rebels
Chapter 739: Unite the troops to defeat the rebels
The middle-aged Confucian scholar smiled kindly at Zuo Aoran, and Li Wenhou introduced with a smile: "This gentleman's surname is Tian Mingchou and his courtesy name is Zitai.
Zang Hong, Chen Rong, and Zhang Chao were all talented in civil and military affairs and had deep personal relationships, so they were collectively called the "Four Friends of the North"!"
Zuo Aoran was secretly shocked and hurriedly bowed: "I have heard of Mr. Mister's name for a long time. I am honored to be able to meet him!"
Zuo Aoran's words were just polite words, but now his mind was full of doubts. He didn't remember Tian Chou's name well, and he didn't know what his abilities were, but the name of the righteous Zang Hong was like thunder to Zuo Aoran's ears. It's a pity.
He died outside the Sishui Pass. This person seemed to be with Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, right? Why did he come to join Marquis Li Wen? This made Zuo Aoran confused!
Tian Chou smiled slightly, stood up and said: "Chou, I have been studying ancient books since childhood, in order to do my best for the people of the world. In the past, Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, recruited people to go to the imperial court. Chou was recommended and granted the title of engaged. Chou Lin
Before leaving, he had told the governor that Gongsun Zan was a serious problem and should be eliminated as soon as possible. However, the governor ignored him and chose to go out to Shuofang instead of using the domestic road. He successfully reached Chang'an and the imperial court appointed Chou as the Cavalry Commander, but Chou refused.
The government jointly recommended me, but he was also rejected by Chou. When Chou returned to Youzhou, Master Zhou Mu had been killed. Chou held a memorial ceremony and cried loudly. The Gongsun clan was afraid of my reputation and did not dare to harm me. The Chou leader clan lived in seclusion in Xu Wushan, where they bowed and worshiped.
He cultivated the land to support his parents and attracted the people. Within a few years, he had more than 5,000 families. After he was elected as a leader by the people, he made laws, established etiquette systems, opened schools and preached. Wuwan and Xianbei each sent envoys to pay tribute and surrender. During this period, Chou refused Yuan Shao.
As for the appointment, a few days ago, I met a man in the mountains. The Taoist said that Chou should surrender to the Ming Lord and contribute to the people. He heard what he said, but the Taoist did not answer. Chou only saw a flash of white light in his eyes, and he had already arrived outside Chang'an City.
Knowing that he had met an immortal, he entered Chang'an City and took up a temporary position, waiting for the arrival of the lord, joining his account and serving the people!"
Zuo Aoran smiled slightly and thought to himself: "Xu Wushan! A fellow! He must be one of the three Zhang Jiao brothers! I didn't expect that when these three people were living in seclusion to avoid disaster, they didn't forget to look for talents for me! Haha! Yes!
It's time to reward Xu Wushan's yellow turban Taoist priests!" He thought in his heart, but said: "Whether he is loyal or traitorous, future generations will decide for themselves. A hundred years ago, the Marquis of Huaiyin just abandoned his secrets and turned to fame in exchange for a lifetime.
Ying Ming, sir, there is no need to filter too much! We are about to go on an expedition in the near future, and now we are pressed for time, so sir, I will temporarily join the army, and when I return in triumph, I will be rewarded!"
"Thank you, Lord!" Tian Chou bowed.
Zuo Aoran suddenly looked at everyone and said seriously: "The four generals Gao Lan, Ju Hu, Gao Tanglong, and Zhang Chun will take orders."
The four generals Gao Lan, Ju Hu, Gao Tanglong, and Zhang Chun were suddenly shocked. They stood up quickly and said, "The last general is here!"
Zuo Aoran didn't know why he was filled with a surrendering aura at this time, and said loudly: "The four of you will be the vanguard officers of the front seal of the fourth line, and Gao Lan will be the vanguard officer of the general seal of the fourth line. I order the four of you to be the vanguard officers of the front seal of the fourth line.
At the front, we will lead an army of 20,000 men to attack the rebellious minister Yuan Shu. We will win and not lose along the way. The losers will come to see us with their heads raised."
"Yes! Lan (Long, Chun, Hu) is willing to issue a military order!" The four generals Gao Lan, Ju Hu, Gao Tanglong and Zhang Chun looked at Zuo Aoran and said with secret joy in their hearts.
"Tian Feng and Chen Deng are the military advisors on the left and right, Tian Chou is joining the army, Chen Yu is the commander-in-chief, and I Zuo Aoran personally leads an army of 30,000 people. Xu Chu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Lei Xu, Wen Pin, Han Aluminum, Lu Kuang, Lu
Xiang, Shamoke, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Zulang, Guan Cheng, Jiang Yiqu, Hu Cheer, He Yi, and He Man were the generals accompanying the army. Li Shi and Liu Quan were the grain and grass transport officers, and there were two vanguards in the late period.
Let's set off at the hour! Marquis Li Wen and Cheliji are still guarding Chang'an and providing logistical supplies without any mistakes!" Zuo Aoran said.
"Yes!" everyone stood up and said.
Zuo Aoran and all the civil and military officials set out from Chang'an with the determination to win. It was the early winter. What was rare was that the sun was shining brightly on the day of the expedition, which warmed the hearts of the soldiers.
Zuo Aoran was currently wearing a set of gleaming silver-white armor, holding a pair of double hammers (mountain-shaking hammer, mountain-driving hammer) in his hands. Under his crotch, he was riding a lai Qilin with one-character ink carved ribs and a black head.
The shiny hair is draped on the shoulders, and the face is handsome and extraordinary, like a fairy in a painting, elegant and extraordinary!
At this time, Zuo Aoran was outside the city, listening to his adopted sister Xu Jiao telling him to be careful over and over again. Although she had said it a thousand times, Zuo Aoran did not feel any boredom, and the children beside him were all worried.
Tired of hearing this, he stepped forward and pulled Xue Jiao back, and gave Zuo Aoran a soft mouth, meaning to ask Zuo Aoran to leave quickly. (They all came to Chang'an with Zuo Aoran, saying that they wanted to gain knowledge.
)
Zuo Aoran understood, came to Liu Ming, and said softly: "Help me take care of my mother and wait until I come back."
Liu Ming blushed, nodded, and said softly: "You have to take care."
"My lord, leave early and come back early. I am waiting in Chang'an for news of my lord's victory." Marquis Li Wen, who came out of the city gate to see him off, said sincerely.
Zuo Aoran said confidently: "Yuan Shu is a fool, everyone, please rest assured, there is no reason why we cannot win this battle!"
This is not Zuo Aoran's bragging. With Yuan Shu's little ability, Zuo Aoran didn't take it to heart at all. At most, Yuan Shu had more soldiers, which was more troublesome. But now not only did he have someone to replace Cao Cao,
, as well as "Jiangdong Little Overlord - Sun Ce" and "Meizhou Lang - Zhou Yu", together with half of their senior brothers, Wenhou Lu Bu, Lv Fengxian, the best in the world, and Han Emperor uncle Liu Bei Liu Xuande, etc. jointly attacked, and others
Speaking of Yuan Shu, even if there are ten Yuan Shus coming, they may not necessarily be opponents!
The time to dispatch troops has come. Zuo Aoran gave an order and the 30,000-strong army slowly marched towards Huainan. In this expedition, Zuo's army can be said to be an elite force. The 5,000 Feibao Battalion and 5,000 Xiliang troops led by Gao Tanglong
Surrender the army and take 10,000 Zuo's troops as the vanguard.
Zuo Aoran still has 30,000 troops, including 5,000 Taiping troops led by Lei Xu, 5,000 Tengjia Divine Hammer Battalion by Jiang Yiqu, and 3,000 personal guards - the Red Turban Army! Li Shi led
Five thousand Flying Bear Army, the Assault Battalion and the Hengsheng Battalion of the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, and finally the newly formed Huben Battalion formed by Wenpin and Han Aluminum, Samoko's Wuxi Barbarians, Zhou Tai, and Chiang Kai-shek
The troops of Qin, Zulang, Guan Cheng, and Hu Cheer's troops were not included. If their troops were included, it would be an army of fifty thousand.
Speaking of Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Guan Cheng, Zuo Aoran is also very helpless. Based on the strategic policy in Zuo Aoran's mind, the navy is not of much use to our own future development trend. If it is long-term
If the three of them are allowed to train the navy and not be allowed to go to the battlefield, over time, the three of them will probably give up and join a prince who can show their talents!
Zuo Aoran naturally would not let Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Guan Cheng have this idea. According to historical records, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were both top talents who could use both water and land. Both of them were from the Sun family of Jiangdong.
general!
After a series of trials, Zuo Aoran discovered that the talents of the two of them were indeed extraordinary. Although the land in Guanzhong was fertile, with crisscrossing rivers, a mild climate, and a large amount of grain, raising an army of 200,000 people was almost the limit.
There was no way to replenish the troops, so they had to let Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Guan Cheng take on two roles. One was to train the 3,000 navy troops under them on the Weishui River, and the other was to serve as land generals accompanying the army on expeditions!
As long as there is a battle for these four people, the four of them will never leave easily. At the same time, Zuo Aoran also plans to use the four of them more on the battlefield in the future, giving them the opportunity to show their talents!
