chapter Five
Time passes like a white horse, it seems that in just a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. The end of winter disappears, and the spring breeze gradually blows the green land of Huai and Chu.
People engaged in farming can be seen everywhere in all counties and places under the jurisdiction of Shouchun County. Over the past month, Sun Gan, Chen Zhen, Mi Zhu and other good officials who were good at government affairs worked hard and went around by themselves. Shouchun's farming and business gradually got on track. Due to the good reputation of being diligent and loving the people, some refugees from nearby prefectures and counties surrendered, greatly alleviating the problem of Shouchun's vast land and relatively sparse population. Many of the land that was originally farmed was redeveloped because no one had cultivated barren land.
However, the influx of refugees also brought another bad problem - Cao Cao, Sun Quan and even Liu Biao sent a large number of detailed works to mix among refugees into Shouchun. Chen Dao's patrol army captured six men who were suspicious in one day, as if they were interested in spying on our army's intelligence. After Xu Shu and Chen Dao personally interrogated, it was found that one of them was from Liu Biao in Jingzhou, the other one was from Sun Quan in Jiangdong, and the other four were sent by Jia Xu, the person in charge of spying on various intelligence.
These almost omnipresent detailed works, relying solely on sergeants to investigate and inspect the patrol, cannot solve the problem, which is quite difficult. After several discussions, Xu Shu proposed a more feasible method - re-implementing the previous "Tingli Law" and making some changes. (Note: "Tingli Law" is a grassroots people management system implemented since the Eastern Han Dynasty. The specific content is: every five households have a "troop", and there are troop leaders, and the five families are responsible for prosecuting them; above the "troop" There is "天", "天" and "天" are the main affairs of ten families; "天" are set up above, "天" are set up, and "天" are held by a mile and a hundred families; "天" are set up above, and there is a pavilion chief, which is the main person seeking to catch thieves; the pavilion is further upwards, and the county is also set up below the big county, which is bounded between "天" and "天". The "天" is equivalent to the Baojia system of later generations!) Due to the years of war in Shouchun, the people fled and moved in from time to time, and the original pavilion, li, and trench have almost been abandoned. Xu Shu proposed to restore the "Tingli Law", re-register the people of Shouchun County as naturalized, reset the Tingli, Li, Shi, and Wu, and arrange respected villagers to serve as the head of the Tingli, Shi, and Wu; the Tingli was sent by the county magistrate (note: the county magistrate is the assistant of the county magistrate, in charge of the military affairs of a county) to serve as the brave soldiers in the army. Each pavilion can recruit 10 township soldiers, and the county is equipped with weapons to be responsible for arresting thieves. All refugees who have newly entered Shouchun must be registered as naturalized by the county officials, and the rules are placed into the "Tingli" and "li". After that, it can be allocated to barren land for farming and living in households. Neighbor disputes between the people are mediated layer by layer by layer; if there is a large number of bandits plundering the people, the pavilion commander and the township soldiers cannot resist, they can directly ask the county magistrate for help. If the people find someone suspected of being a detailed work nearby, they can inform the people of the country. If it is verified that it is true, the whistleblower can receive a reward of money and food, but it is prohibited to commit personal revenge in the name of reporting. Violators will be responsible.
The improved "Tingli Law" was officially implemented in all counties under Shouchun County with the approval of my elder brother, but due to the short time and the specific effect, it has not yet been revealed. However, since this system can last for more than a thousand years since the Han Dynasty, it should naturally have its advantages!
In terms of military affairs, the overall situation of our army has been relatively calm this month. Cao Cao's army was busy with the wars in Chang'an and Hebei, and had no time to look south, so they were temporarily in peace with our army. In Shouchun, since I was still recovering from the wounds, the second brother was in charge of the training of the army, and Zhao Yun, Chen Dao and others helped. I was saddened by the gap in combat between our army and Cao's army in the Battle of Runan, the second brother made great efforts to train the soldiers himself, and kept going day by day. The newly surrendered 1,800 cavalry Cao's elite light cavalry have been included in the Fengqi camp, although many people were still interested in surrendering at first.
But when Zhao Yun first met them, he gave these cavalry a warning. Zhao Yun, who seemed weak, challenged the 100 most powerful cavalrymen with a single cavalry. The result was completely beyond the expectations of these cavalry. In less than two cups of tea, all 100 cavalrymen were shot down by Zhao Yun. If they had not used only wooden sticks without gun heads, no one could escape the fate of death and injury. After this battle, all the surrendered cavalrymen realized that the new commander of the new owner, the bravery of Zhang was definitely not Zhang.
Under the Liao General. Subsequently, under Zhao Yun's huge personal charm, these cavalry gradually accepted their own destiny from fear to respect, from respect to obedience. In Hefei, with the strong help of Wei Yan, Gan Ning officially formed his naval camp. Gan Ning carefully selected nearly 1,400 people from the 3,000 people for him to select, plus more than 300 "Jinfan soldiers" of his original self, as well as more than 500 "Jiangfan bandits" and "Hu thieves" recently recruited from Jianghuai, forming the "Jinfan camp" with 2,300 people. The rest were Taobao.
Under the leadership of Wei Yan, the soldiers who were eliminated followed the "Zhenfan Camp" with the "Tiger Gun Camp", "Bear Gun Camp" and "Wolf Fang Camp" to carry out the most basic water war training. According to Wei Yan's return, Gan Ning guaranteed that within three months, the "Jinfan Camp" could be trained into a water-powered army that was not inferior to the Jiangdong Navy and Jingzhou Navy. Unfortunately, due to financial resources, time, ship workers and other issues, the navy still lacked large warships. However, Mi Zhu had tried his best to recruit skilled shipbuilders from Jiangdong and Jingzhou to prepare to build a marching battleship in Chaohu for the use of the navy.
In terms of making foreign aid, Jian Yong tried his best to finally help his elder brother form an offensive and defensive alliance with Liu Biao. In terms of defense, once Cao Cao and Sun Quan attacked Shouchun or Jingzhou, the other side needed to provide military assistance. In terms of offense, both sides agreed to attack Sun Quan and divide the six counties in Jiangdong evenly in the future. The two powerful families in Jingzhou had different attitudes towards the alliance. The Cai clan, led by Cai Mao, tried his best to oppose the Kuai clan, and the Kuai clan, was headed by Kuai Yue, did not object, but they were somewhat supportive, while Liu Biao himself was a little hesitant. However, when Jian Yong presented the letter to Pang Degong, Liu Biao, who had always been respectful to Pang Degong's character and talent and knowledge, made up his mind to form an alliance with our army.
In the past month, two major events happened in the world, which were good and bad for our army. The good thing was that Yuan Tan finally stopped defeat and resisted the attack of Cao's army. Under the fierce attack of Cao's general Xiahou Dun, Yuan Tan's army successively lost Guangping, Qinghe, Pingyuan, Xindu and other places. Finally, even Nanpi was captured and retreated to Bohai County. Bohai County was the place where Yuan Shao made his fortune. The Yuan family's power was deeply rooted. A large amount of military supplies and food were stored in the county city. Moreover, the Bohai City was built several times by Yuan Shao, which was called solid. Yuan Tan himself abandoned his past grudges at the critical moment of life and death and worshipped Shen Pei, who had always supported Yuan Shang, as a preacher.
Military advisors. Under the dispatch of Shen Pei, the Yuan army gathered in the Bohai Sea and fought fiercely with Xiahou Dun's army and successfully blocked Cao's army from the city of Bohai. Although Xiahou Dun attacked the city in various ways under Cheng Yu's plan, they were all resolved by Shen Pei. The Cao army's partial army, which attacked Zhending, was attacked by 3,000 light cavalry of Yuan's general Tian Yu, was defeated and returned. Only more than 1,000 people escaped. The general Xia Houde, the general of the army, was almost captured. With countless soldiers and generals being damaged, Bohai remained unmoved, and Xiahou Dun had no choice but to lead the army back to Nanpi. Since then, the Cao and Yuan army have been stalemate at the Bohai Sea-Boling-Zhending line.
The bad news is that Ma Teng's army was defeated and retreated to Xiliang. Although Ma Teng commanded the Xiliang army to forcibly conquer Chang'an, he was successfully escaped by the Chang'an prefect. Then, Ma Teng, who intended to continue attacking east, was nailed to Tongguan by Xu Huang's army who arrived in time, and could not move forward. A few days later, Cao Cao personally led the army to Tongguan. After seeing the strong combat power of the Xiliang army, Cao Cao gave up his plan to fight to the death with Ma Teng's army and chose to use a strategy to defeat the enemy. Under Guo Jia's plan, Cao Cao set up a plan to disagree with Ma Teng and Han Sui. Although Ma Teng and Han Sui did not fall into the trap, Ma Teng's son, Ma Chaonian
The young man was full of energy and mistakenly thought that Han Sui really planned to betray their father and son to surrender to Cao Cao. So he led his army to rush into Han Sui's camp, killed several Han Sui's generals, and almost stabbed Han Sui to death. Fortunately, Ma Teng arrived in time to stop Ma Chao, so he rescued Han Sui. Cao Cao took advantage of the opportunity of civil strife between the two armies of Ma and Han to take the opportunity to lead the army to attack wildly and defeat the Xiliang army. In the end, the 100,000 Xiliang army and Qiang army who went to Chang'an were able to retreat to Xiliang. Although Ma Teng and Han Sui both returned to Xiliang safely, Ma Chao rushed to the camp and killed the generals, and the defeat of the army laid a huge shadow between the Ma and Han families.
On the eighth day of April 19th, Jian'an, Shouchun City, the schoolyard.
Since most of the soldiers had been led outside the city to practice by Chen Dao, the school ground seemed empty. In the middle of the school ground, my second brother and I stood facing each other forty steps apart.
"Second brother, please forgive me for being polite!" I shouted fiercely and rushed forward quickly. The Snake Spear in my right hand stabbed towards my second brother with a stirring fighting intention.
"Third brother, come on!" The second brother shouted in a deep voice, then waved the Qinglong sword to greet him.
In a blink of an eye, the two were less than 10 steps apart, and the twelve spear and the Qinglong sword were only a slight distance away. "Swish~!" The weapons had not yet been handed over, but the strong murderous aura had collided violently, making a harsh sound.
"Bon!" The spears collided, bringing out dazzling star flowers, and the loud noise echoed throughout the school ground. The weapons separated, and the wings and the Snake Spear and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword seemed to each make a whisper - the sound of a confrontation of the divine weapons will be induced!
"Okay!" My second brother and I took three steps in a row, shouted softly at the same time, and jumped forward again to fight.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang..." The spear knife was raised together, and more than a hundred rounds had passed without realizing it. The pressure of the twelve snake spear and the Qinglong Yanyue sword caused a strong airflow to form within forty steps, and it kept circling.
When the battle was about to rise, I shouted loudly: "Second brother, the last move! This time we must decide the winner!"
"It's just my wish, come on!" The second brother showed a faint smile on his face, and he raised his sword in his hands as if he was about to slash the sky and the earth. Then, he cooperated with the forward-line body and the Azure Dragon Sword suddenly slashed down. For a moment, the blade body turned into a soaring blue dragon and headed straight for me.
Qinglong Yanyue beheads!
At this time, the air around the twelve snake spear began to rotate abnormally, quickly forming a horizontal columnar whirlwind with a diameter of half a meter, just like a giant snake swallowing straight towards the "green dragon".
The unique skills of the Lord Huan———Thousands of troops defeated!
Seeing that two extremely strong airflows were about to collide, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from the side.
"Second brother, third brother, stop! Once you fight, it seems like you want to separate life and death!"
When I heard the eldest brother's voice, my second brother and I forced back the weapons in our hands at the same time. Then we burst into laughter.
"Hahaha...Second brother, it's so good to fight!"
The second brother held a knife in his left hand and gently stroked his long beard under his chin with his right hand. He smiled and said, "Third brother, congratulations, your injury has finally healed!"
Chapter completed!
