Chapter 176: West Garden Eight School (I)

I heard that the emperor wants to establish a new army, so I should take it.

The war in Liangzhou is coming to an end, and Xiping is planning for future events, and the new army is bound to win. I am afraid that my brother is not surrounded by people, so I sent Pang De to help him. De was my brother's confidant. If he was in Longxi for a long time, he would be suspicious. My son is quite talented and can help Xiping.

Li Ru's letter has no title or signature, but it has already explained everything.

Dong Qi put down his letter and thought to himself: I didn’t expect that even my brother-in-law would know about the emperor’s formation of a new army. I guess there is also the meaning of a father. It seems that what Guo Jia said yesterday was not just alarmist.

I picked up another letter and opened it but two letters fell out.

One letter was written by Chen Dao: Qu Yi has great talent and is proficient in military affairs, and he will win ten times more. The lord can be of great use...

Another letter was Jia Xu: There is no major event in Longxi, Xu has arrived in Zhangye. Shao is talented and the matter of garrisoning the army is complete, and there is no need to worry too much. Liangzhou is stable, and the lord must be in danger. If you hold the troops in your hand, you will be invincible. If the new army is established, the lord will definitely take it... If you get the new army, the lord will have no worries in the near future. Xu should look at it from the Western Regions and hope that the lord will take care of it.

A new army again!

Dong Qi took a deep breath and frowned.

Guo Jia said this, Li Ru said this, and even Jia Xu said this.

It seemed that they had noticed something, but they didn't say it clearly. However, Dong Qi was a little angry. Jia Xu's meaning clearly had a meaning of watching the fire from the other side of the river. He didn't understand what kind of thoughts Jia Xu had, but he always felt uneasy. Especially the sentence, if you get the new army, you will be worry-free in the near future. What should you do in the future?

Even though he was angry, Dong Qi understood that it seemed that he had to seek a new army position.

Although Jia Xu is in Zhangye, his reputation is not high, and many people don’t even know his existence, so they probably won’t cause any trouble. Chen Dao, Huang Shao and Dong Qi are friends of life and death, and they are also extremely wise, so Dong Qi is not worried. Pei Yuanshao and others can be said to be Dong Qi’s confidants, and their friendship through life and death is definitely not something that Jia Xu can shake. Regardless of what thoughts Jia Xu has, Dong Qi can understand more or less: this is Jia Xu’s test for him.

At that time, Dong Qi forced Jia Xu to surrender, but he had not shown enough ability to make him die.

This old fox seems to be preparing to take revenge, watch the fire from the other side of the river, and watch the show!

Although this is a bit unauthentic, if it is done well, Jia Xu will definitely have no reason not to fail to die.

People with ability probably have this problem.

Thinking of this, Dong Qi was no longer angry. Since he decided to test me, it means that he is still optimistic about me.

That night, Dong Qi held a banquet in the mansion to greet Pang De and Qu Yi.

At the banquet, they also arranged their positions.

There are five battalions in Beigong, among which Luanwei camp is full of female soldiers, and only Ren Hongchang can be the one. There are four battalions outside the palace, and one battalion has no chief general. Before that, Zhang Xiu came to take care of it. Chen Dao said that Qu Yi was good at military affairs, so he simply handed over this battalion to Qu Yi and was in charge of the goalkeeper. The other three battalions were three old men from the Beigong army. These three were still doing their best, and Dong Qi was not good at automating their positions, otherwise it would arouse suspicion from the above.

However, these third battalions have actually been controlled by Dian Wei and Zhang Xiu, so they are not worried about their rebellion.

After pondering for a while, Dong Qi ordered Pang De to take charge of Bo Langshi. After all, Zhang Xiu is now a military squad, and he handles many things in the Beigong Army. He really doesn't have much experience and care about Bo Langshi's training. Pang De is also a powerful general, and he is also an official goalkeeper. Although he is in the Beigong Army's sequence, he is actually in charge of Bo Langshi's training.

As soon as things were arranged, Dong Qi sighed.

"From today, all battalions must step up their training and do not slack off at all!"

"Here!"

The generals stood up to receive the order.

Whether it is Qu Yi or Pang De, he is obviously very satisfied with Dong Qi's arrangement.

Dong Qi also wanted to see. One was a stranger who was praised by Chen Dao, "I am not as good as him." The other was Pang De, who had played against Guan Erge in history. Although these two were still young, they probably wouldn't disappoint Dong Qi.

What's next depends on when the new army will be established.

*******

In the fourth year of Zhongping, seeing the world's situation in great shape, the city of Luoyang sings and dances to peace.

Just when people thought that a peaceful and prosperous era was coming, something major happened suddenly in Changsha County, Jingzhou, which once again made the Han Dynasty, which had become stable, in a turbulent and turbulent state.

The Changsha people's Quxing was originally a Taiping Taoist sect. Because he was dissatisfied with the exploitation of the new Changsha prefect under his rule, he summoned 300 Taiping Taoists to kill the Changsha prefect, and then gathered a group to rebel, and soon gathered thousands of people to occupy Changsha.

Qu Xing claimed to be a general, and within ten months he conquered the cities and occupied the counties around Changsha, which was a huge momentum.

Compared with Zhang Ju's rebellion, Qu Xing seemed very smart.

But later, Qu Xing revealed his identity as a Taiping Cult, claiming to be inheriting Zhang Jiao's mantra, attracting all the Taiping Cults to surrender. In just one month, the number of rebels soared from a few thousand to 50,000, and the tiger was looking at Jingzhou.

"Feiyan, have you ever heard of this district star?"

Located in the deep foot of Rang Mountain in Runan, there is also a group of people, with a number of only about 8,000, but it is extremely powerful.

The Dazhai is built along the mountain, divided into two villages inside and outside. The inside is the old, young, women and children, responsible for farming and textiles; the outer village is divided into three villages, with 4,000 people from the Central Army. One village on the left is built on the hill, and the village on the right is standing in the open space.

The three villages form a corner and can support each other.

The commander of the Dazhai was Zhang Yan who had withdrawn from Wan County. The leader of the camp on the left was Liu Pi and Gong Du; the leader of the camp on the right was Zhang Baiqi, who was originally part of the Black Mountain Army.

Zhang Baiqi was once a general under Zhang Niujiao and had always had brotherhood with Zhang Yan.

When Zhang Niujiao died, Zhang Baiqi was responsible for guarding Gaoyi. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo was caught off guard, and he lost Gaoyi and led his troops to Jizhou. Guan Hai formed an army in Heishan, and was favored and helped him, and his momentum was huge.

Zhang Baiqi then went to surrender, but Guan Hai was just a young general under Zhang Niujiao, but now he suddenly became Zhang Baiqi's boss, so he naturally felt uncomfortable. In addition, Guan Hai listened to Man Chong's opinion and focused on his own development and continued to strengthen his strength, but never mentioned revenge for Zhang Niujiao or Zhang Jiao, which made Zhang Baiqi even more dissatisfied.

Guan Hai raised troops and only plundered but not occupied the city, which finally broke out.

And at this time, he got the news about Zhang Yan. Zhang Baiqi was not convinced by Guan Hai, but was very convinced by Zhang Yan.

So he suddenly took his troops to retreat and rushed to Runan to surrender. It was precisely because of his sudden retreat that a gap was revealed in the defense line established by Guan Hai. He was defeated and fled in one day, and had to retreat back to Heishan.

Similarly, Bai Luo and the other two had to leave Jizhou and go to Sili area to survive.

Zhang Baiqi learned the news only after he arrived in Rangshan, and felt very ashamed. Fortunately, Zhang Yan advised him, which made him feel a little more comfortable. Now that he heard that Qu Xing raised the Yellow Turban Banner, Zhang Baiqi suddenly felt extremely excited and came to the Central Army to inquire.

Zhang Yan also received the news and was about to inform Zhang Baiqi and the other two.

After hearing Zhang Baiqi's question, Zhang Yan couldn't help but say, "Why, have you never heard of Qu Xing?"

"First I heard of it!"

At this time, Gong Du and Liu Pi arrived, and Zhang Yan hurriedly asked the two of them.

No wonder he and Zhang Baiqi were originally under the command of the northern commander Zhang Niujiao, and they did not know much about the affairs of the Taiping Road in the South.

But Liu Pi and Gong Du also looked confused.

"Who is Qu Xing? I have never heard of it before..."

Gong Du said: "Feiyan, the church members in southern states, and even Jiaozhou and other places, even if they are just little coaches, I have heard of it more or less. But I really don't know about this district star... I guess I'm not even a little party, I don't know."

"How dare you, a damn villain, claim to be the general's mantle?"

Zhang Baiqi respected Zhang Jiao the most in his life, followed by Zhang Niujiao. As for Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, Shangpai was after Zhang Mancheng. How could he not be angry when he heard that a little girl used Zhang Jiao’s name? In his opinion, Zhang Yan is now the most authentic successor of Zhang Jiao. When was that little person's turn? When did he leave Jizhou, he couldn't stand Guan Hai as the leader.

Instead, Zhang Yan calmed down, pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled.

"Well, since this guy wants to use the name of General God, we might as well help him... In the past two years, the government has also begun to pay attention to us, which is not conducive to development. Why not take this opportunity to raid Runan and plunder all the food, grass, gold and silver in Runan... There are two generals Liu and Gong in charge of this matter. Remember to emptie Runan's Ku Mansion."

Gong Du smiled and said, "I am just thinking about this and will definitely live up to the general's high hopes. Hehe, I heard that Runan has a bumper harvest this year, and the grain and grass will accumulate like mountains. If the Ku Mansion is empty, our Rangshan Army can expand to more than 10,000 people, and there is no need to worry about grain and grass for two years."

Zhang Baiqi said, "What about me?"

"Brother Bai Qi followed me to attack Xuzhou... At the same time, we want to create momentum. We want to support the small thief in that district. Bai Qi, I know you want to revive the great cause of your adoptive father and others, but it is not time, it is not time. Guan Hai did a good job in Jizhou. He did not occupy prefectures and counties, but only plunder. In this way, it is difficult for the official army to finish it. But once he occupied prefectures and counties, it is equivalent to exposing all our strength to the official army... We are still too weak now."

"Feiyan, don't worry, I will never make the same mistake a second time. I will go with you this time. If you say you will fight, we will fight as much as you want!"

*******

In July, Runan fell.

The remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou responded to the District Star, and the Flying Yan Army passed through Xuzhou and plundered them all the way.

Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian ordered his cavalry commander Zang Ba to send troops to intercept him, but he was led into the Jedi by the Feiyan Army and almost wiped out the entire army.

Tao Qian was furious and wanted to kill Zang Ba.

Zang Ba, who was also aggrieved, was also angry and led his generals Sun Guan and Wu Dun to rebel from Xuzhou and established himself on Mount Tai.

Zang Ba, whose courtesy name was Xuangao, was originally from Hua County, Taishan, Qingzhou, and had few strategies.

His father Zang Jie was once a prison officer in Hua County. He was detained because he refused to obey the orders of Taishan Prefect to kill people for personal gain.

Zang Ba was furious and kidnapped his father on the way to escort with dozens of people. Later, he fled to the East China Sea and became famous for his bravery. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Tao Qian took over Xuzhou, and Zang Ba surrendered to Tao Qian, defeating the enemy several times, which was outstanding in his achievements.

But for this reason, Zang Ba was quite famous in Xuzhou, so that Tao Qian became skeptical.

The crime of governing Zang Ba this time was not so much because Zang Ba's conquests and the loss of troops and generals, but rather to eliminate dissidents. Tao Gongzu was originally a very profitable person, but as the officials became bigger, they became more careful.

When he heard Zang Ba rebelled from Xuzhou, Tao Qian was furious.

Immediately sent Cao Bao, a powerful general under his command, to lead 8,000 troops to Mount Tai to destroy Zang Ba.

Cao Bao was born in Xuzhou and had strategies. But although he had many soldiers and generals, Mount Tai was Zang Ba's territory. The terrain was unfamiliar, and was attacked by Zang Ba along the way, causing losses to his generals. After the battle in Huaxian City, Cao Bao, who was already exhausted, fled in a panic. When the eight thousand men returned to Xuzhou, there were less than two thousand.

This is not the end. While Cao Bao went on the war, Tao Qian received a request for help from Qingzhou.

A Yellow Turban Rebel He Man rebelled in Qingzhou and asked Tao Qian to send troops to provide assistance.

When Tao Qian received the news of Cao Bao's defeat, he couldn't help but take a breath. Then Zang Ba, is he so capable?

Qingzhou is powerless to rescue, and the fire at his doorstep has not yet been extinguished.

After hesitating, Tao Qian followed the advice of the new leader Mi Zhu and wrote a letter to Luoyang, asking the court to send troops to quell the rebellion.

In mid-July, Tao Qian's letter of help arrived in Luoyang.
