Chapter 136 The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat
Let us turn our attention from Luoyang, which is in chaos, back to the more chaotic Julu.
On March 5, Dian Wei, the "Pioneering General of the True God of the Yellow Emperor, led tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops to surround the city Tao of Julu County, preparing to capture the county magistrate, occupy the county government, and welcome the great wise and good teacher Zhang Jiao into the city. So what was Zhao Xing doing at this time?
Zhao Xing was sweating profusely encouraging the thousands of newly recruited soldiers!
Didn’t Zhao Xing and his confidants abandon Julu and enter Huguan west? Why did it come to arouse morale with great enthusiasm? In fact, Zhao Xing’s plan has not changed, but Zhao Xing has always liked to act in a full set of operas and plans to confront the Yellow Turban Army for a few days. First, he will hone the new team that he had finally started, second, he will not catch too many handles for the opponents in the court, and third, help Dian Wei further obtain Zhang Jiao’s new job.
On the city wall, Zhao Xing shouted to the soldiers guarding the city: "Brothers, don't panic, the thief army under the city cannot do anything to us! As long as we share the same hatred of the enemy and cooperate with each other, we will definitely be able to defeat the thief army! As long as we use our lives, I guarantee that after the defense of the city, we will reward each person with a hundred acres of fertile land and ten cents of charity money!"
"Swear to guard the county city to the death and protect the peace of the people!" Lu Xiang, who was mixed in the crowd, shouted loudly. Then, more than 600 old masters of Julu who were incorporated by Zhao Xing at the beginning followed Lu Xiang and shouted loudly, "Swear to guard the county city to the death and protect the peace of the people!"
I have to say that many people shout loudly, and shouting a few times can really enhance your courage. Seeing that some soldiers around you are energetic and confident, the newly recruited county soldiers mustered up their courage and no longer feared the black and yellow turban troops under the city.
Morale is rising, that's not enough. Zhao Xing is preparing to let his team, which belongs to the city, openly and secretly, fight and training with real swords and guns. The problem is that once the real swords and guns fight, there will be a large number of casualties. Zhao Xing is still a little unbearable at present. What should I do?
Zhao Xing thought for a long time and finally came up with an agreement with Dian Wei, the leader of the Yellow Turban City under the city: each round, everyone sent a team of troops, with a number of 100 people, and fought with wooden swords and guns. The loser drew a mark on his forehead and could not fight in the next round until all soldiers on one side had their foreheads turned red. If the soldiers guarding the city failed, they would take the initiative to give up the county city and become the captive of the Yellow Turban Army; if the Yellow Turban Army failed, they would hand over the bandit leader, and the rest would be dismissed back to the village, and they would not cause trouble from then on!
This kind of a playful agreement was actually reached with the unanimous approval of the leaders of both sides! Zhao Xing's explanation to his subordinates was: "If we can't even defeat the Yellow Turban Army from Mud Legs, it proves that the Han family has exhausted its energy. It's better to go there early and find a wife and son in the future." The county soldiers were moved to tears when they heard that their commanders cherish everyone's lives so much and care about everyone's future.
Dian Wei's explanation to the Yellow Turban Rebel Army was: "If more than 10,000 of us could not defeat the more than 4,000 people who went out of the city to fight, it proved that the Han family had not been exhausted. How could we go against the will of heaven and sacrifice in vain? Everyone should return to the village to continue praying for blessings and worship the true gods and accumulate strength!" The Taoists were moved when they heard the vanguard general's voice and emotion, and they all expressed that they would win no matter what.
A battle of officials and bandits who should have been killed in a bloody way like other counties was resolved invisibly with Zhao Xing's wonderful ideas and Dian Wei's strong cooperation, and it also became a proud thing that the future "Xinghe" emperor often talked about.
In the next few days, the Yellow Turban Rebels in various prefectures and counties fought with the officers and soldiers, and their eyes were red, but the Tao City was actually peaceful and peaceful. According to the agreement, the offensive and defensive sides sent ten teams of troops every day, fighting from morning to evening, and resting once in the middle, allowing everyone to have lunch. During the battle, the rest of the troops on both sides cheered for the brothers in the city and under the city respectively. When they were in full swing, Dian Wei, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun also improvised to compete for everyone, showing their martial arts skills and explaining their skills!
This is not a battlefield battle? It is clearly a large-scale training and individual technical and tactical training!
Zhao Xing often said: "The palms and backs of hands are all flesh, and the Yellow Turban Army and the county soldiers are all from Julu. If you look up, you will see each other. Why do you have to kill your relatives so that you will not recognize your relatives? The emperor is not a thing. You can go and cause trouble for the emperor. Why bother brothers and brothers and sisters to fight each other?"
In order to express his unwillingness to see the tragic situation of Han people fighting each other, Zhao Xing also stood on the city gate tower and wrote an impromptu poem: "Cook beans and boil them into soup, and filter them into juice. The firewood burns under the pot, and the beans cry in the pot. They were born with the same roots, so why not fry them too quickly!" This guy who had been planning to plagiarize the poems of the old Cao family finally succeeded and stole the poems of Cao Zhi, who had not yet been born!
When the battle between the two sides reached the fifth day, more than half of the people guarding the city had red dots on their foreheads, but only one-quarter of the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban Army had more people and fewer people lost. If this continues, the county soldiers would definitely lose. For this result, it was strictly according to the intention of Zhao Xing's "director", so the county soldiers had no ideological burden, and Dian Wei was not under pressure from Zhang Jiao. For Zhang Jiao, he could not get a Taoist city without any harm to the Taoist people. Such good things could not be found with lanterns, and that was just like Zhao Xing's stupidity.
In order to get the soldiers to exercise more, Zhao Xing actually instructed Lu Xiang. The two brothers Lu Kuang quietly arranged for people to wipe off the red dots on the foreheads of soldiers who had already been on the stage. The order was disrupted and they went on the stage again. This obvious act of cheating was actually acquiesced by the Yellow Turban Army under the city.
What did Dian Wei say at that time? "It is rare to have such a good training. Everyone should seize the opportunity to study hard! We are the vanguard army. Once we attack other county towns in the future, we will not be so lucky and we will not have to bleed and sacrifice! We sweat more in daily life and we will only bleed less in wartime. Can they cheat and stump you?"
Well, with Dian Wei's words, the battle that should have been seen on the ninth day was delayed by the two sides' cheating on each other for six days. On March 20th, after the Shadow Force sent the latest information in Luoyang City, this protracted large-scale military training activity was finally over.
In the county magistrate's mansion, Zhao Xing made the final explanation to Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Tian Feng and others before running away.
"Leave all the excess food to Dian Wei, and combine the soldiers guarding the city and the Dian Wei's people together, and try to avoid burning, killing and looting before retreating!" Zhao Xing said in a deep voice.
"There has been a huge change in Luoyang. The emperor will soon be on his way to Chang'an. I want to sneak back to Shangdang and plan the Bingzhou plan. You should follow the previously agreed plan and try to lead the people through Huguan as much as possible. Wenyuan has already gained a foothold in the north. You can take advantage of the warm spring to resettle a large number of refugees and cultivate land and sow seeds..." Zhao Xing untiringly introduced the overall situation to everyone.
"Guochang sneaked back to Shangdang alone this time, be careful on the road!" Tian Feng said with some concern.
"You don't have to worry about Xing. With my skills now, as long as I don't want to fight, I'm afraid Brother Guan and Zilong will not be able to stay!" Zhao Xing said confidently.
"Okay, let's leave today. Xing Zai Shangdang is waiting for you to come back soon!" After saying that, Zhao Xing, dressed in night clothes, disappeared into the vast night...
