Chapter 202: Hiding the weak and showing weakness

It was late at night, but it was difficult to calm down in Wancheng tonight. The sound of horse hooves was rushing, and the noise came one after another, and occasionally there were bursts of weapons impact.

Although the Yellow Turban Army surrendered, the small riots did not stop. Some people who were unwilling to accept the situation took advantage of the fact that the Zhenxi Army had not yet established a stable foothold and launched mutinies again and again. As a result, they had imagined that they fell under the iron hoof of the Zhenxi Army without exception. Although Huangfu Jian had the will to treat the surrendered Yellow Turban Army well, they still gave a head-on blow to these people who were stubborn.

We can't be afraid of killing them, so how can we have any prestige at all!

The temporary general's mansion was bright and he was on high alert. He was wearing armor when he saw him.

In the study room of the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion, the eighteen dragon cavalry guarded the sword. Without permission, no one could take a step. It was late at night, and the general Huangfu Jian, the west general, and the right military advisor Yan Zhong, were still discussing something in the study. Only Huang Xu and Guo Jia were standing beside him.

"Lord, the Yellow Turban Army in the South has been broken, and the war in Nanyang has been over. Although Wancheng has fallen into the hands of our army, our army cannot be held for a long time. I wonder what lord's plan is?" Military advisor Yan Zhong said helplessly under the light red candlelight.

After finally defeating the Yellow Turban Army, Yan Zhong was not a generous person. What's more, he followed Huangfu Jian for many years and knew that his lord was not just a powerful minister, but was determined to be the world.

"Wancheng, Luoyang, our army must be firmly controlled, which is particularly important for the subsequent development of our army and will not give up. The military advisors have any plans to ensure that these two places are legitimately controlled by the Zhenxi Army, and are not suspicious of the current emperor."

Huangfu Jian pondered slightly, and the tiger's eyes slowly opened, revealing a look of contempt for the world, and said slowly and firmly.

If the Emperor of Han does not die for a day, the world will be the Liu family. The Zhenxi Army cannot occupy whatever it wants without scruples! Moreover, after this battle, the powerful strength of the Zhenxi Army was completely exposed to the eyes of the world. It is impossible not to be jealous of the guesswork. Huangfu Jian did not want to become the second Zhang Jiao. Although the Han Dynasty was weak, it was still the common ruler of the world, and its potential power was still strong.

"It is not difficult to control these two places in the hands of the Zhenxi Army with justification! But it does not arouse suspicion from the emperor, but it is a bit difficult!" Yan Zhong frowned slightly and said leisurely.

"The military advisor first expresses your thoughts and then discusses." Huangfu Jian closed his eyes slightly and said lightly.

"Our army is victorious. The lord can take the opportunity to express his merits to the emperor. It should not be difficult to be named a reliable general as the prefect of Nanyang. In this way, you can take Nanyang with a legitimate command. After the Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang, the lord will seek credit and reward, and a powerful minister as the Henan Yin, which will indirectly control Luoyang. But in this way, the strength of Zhenxi Army has increased greatly. Nanyang and Luoyang are not within the scope of Zhenxi Army's guarding. Before the Yellow Turban Army is defeated, the lord may still be able to bear it, but once the Yellow Turban Army is defeated, the Zhenxi Army will be pushed to the forefront, which is a big problem!"

Yan Zhong said in a deep voice.

"Well! What the military advisor said is true. It is indeed a bit difficult to achieve both worlds."

After hearing this, Huangfu Jian frowned slightly and started to talk to himself.

"What's the difficulty? As long as the army in the west hides its weakness and shows its weakness in the world, it will definitely eliminate the suspicion of the people in the world."

As soon as Huangfu Jian finished speaking, Guo Jia, who was standing aside, replied casually.

"A good move to hide your weakness! I will tell you how our army should hide your weakness?"

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Huangfu Jian nodded slightly and said with a smile.

Guo Jia has been following Huangfu Jian for a while. On the surface, he is Huangfu Jian's book boy, but in fact he is Huangfu Jian's personal disciple. Huangfu Jian not only teaches Guigu's military strategy, but also takes him with him when discussing major political affairs, so that he can increase his knowledge and apply what he has learned.

Huangfu Jian has another purpose in doing this, which is to hide his eyes and ears.

Others don’t know about Guo Jia’s talent, but Huangfu Jian understands it. With the development of Zhenxi Army, some important figures will inevitably fall into the sight of those who are interested, and their strategic characteristics will gradually become familiar with them. However, Guo Jia is just a book boy who stays by Huangfu Jian’s side, and it is difficult for others to enter the eyes of others. However, he plays the role of a surprise weapon at critical moments.

It can also be regarded as a powerful trump card retained by Huangfu Jian.

Guo Jia is a smart man. He has been in charge of the Western Army for so long. Although he doesn't know Huangfu Jian's intentions, he is very clear that Huangfu Jian is cultivating him and treating him well.

Huangfu Jian not only taught him the military tactics of Guigu, but also urged him to practice swords. Over time, his body became much stronger. In addition, although Princess Jieyou, the "Ganjie" was very strict with him, her concern for him came from the heart, allowing him, a prodigal son, to feel family affection and find a sense of family.

"It's very simple! First, falsely report casualties, but others report casualties underreport the casualties, and we report the losses in war, making others think that although we have fought through the Yellow Turban Army, our army has also been crippled and has no power to fight."

"Secondly, the Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang City only surrounds and does not fight. On the one hand, it makes people mistakenly believe that our army is not capable of combating and cannot defeat the Yellow Turban Army. On the other hand, we can also sit and watch the world's storm, and the people in the world's attention to the Zhenxi Army."

Guo Jia didn't understand what modesty was, and he was used to it casually in front of Huangfu Jian, and he said whatever he thought of.

"Military advisor, what do you think of filial piety?" Huangfu Jian smiled slightly, obviously agreeing with Guo Jia's statement.

"Congratulations to the lord, you have another amazing talent." Yan Zhong looked at the young man in front of him in surprise and praised.

"Since that's the case, the news of the Nanyang Victory will not be spread for the time being. It's just that the Zhenxi Army is fighting bloody battles with the Southern Yellow Turban Army, with heavy casualties, and General Ju Yi is the prefect of Nanyang." Huangfu Jian thought for a while and said.

Blocking news and falsely reporting the situation of the war is not difficult for the current Zhenxi Army.

Besides, who would have thought that the arrogant Southern Yellow Turban Army would be completely defeated in one day! If it was really reported, it would have attracted people to suspect that Huangfu Jian was falsely reporting his military achievements.

"About tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pass the orders of this general, saying that the Yellow Turban Army in the East is urgently attacking Runan, and Runan is in danger. I ordered the prefect of Wancheng Qin Jie, and the lower-level chief Sun Jian immediately led his troops to rescue him, and there must be no mistakes." Huangfu Jian ordered Yan Zhong again.

According to Xinbao, tomorrow, Qin Jie, the former prefect of Wancheng, and Sun Jian, the subordinates of the lower-level chief, will arrive in Nanyang, so Huangfu Jian will send them away early.

This matter was settled like this. As for the effect, it was all up to the matter. Besides, the Zhenxi Army is now in great strength. As long as it does not rebel openly, the Emperor of Han will have no choice but to do anything to him.

Next is the problem of handling the Yellow Turban Army prisoners. The 70,000 to 80,000 Yellow Turban Army prisoners are not a small number. If they are not handled well, the consequences will be very serious. Of course, Huangfu Jian does not want to leave any troubles.

"The captives of the Yellow Turban Army were divided into three divisions, and the real elites were selected to supplement the army's army in Zhenxi, part of which was supplemented by the war losses of each division, and part of them entered General Huang Zhong's Golden Eagle Camp. The remaining young and strong Yellow Turban Army formed a military farmer. After the war in Nanyang, the population was not ten, and there were a large number of barren fields. They were arranged to conduct military training while farming, and strictly managed it, and were also a reserve force. For those old, weak and disabled soldiers, like the people of Guanzhong, they were asked to rent official fields and return to the fields."

The Yellow Turban Army itself is a peasant who has no choice but to live without a living. This arrangement can not only turn waste into treasure, but also ensure their survival problems. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

"The military advisor is temporarily staying in Nanyang Ju Ju to hold the overall situation. Ju Yi and Xu Rong's Hu Xiao Camp are stationed in Wancheng, and the other generals return to the front line of Luoyang. Does the military advisor have any objections?" Huangfu Jian looked at Yan Zhong and asked.

"What the lord said is very much, but Nanyang has just been calmed down and there are still many unstable factors. The battle in Luoyang cannot be fought yet. It is better to let Canglang Camp stay in Nanyang. After everything is stable, Canglang Camp will enter Luoyang again. I wonder what the lord wants?" Yan Zhong thought for a while and replied.

"It's good that Nanyang will be handed over to the military advisor. Remember, no matter what, Nanyang must not be lost, let alone given up!"

Huangfu Jian finally emphasized.

"Subordinate to obey the order!" Yan Zhong accepted the order respectfully.

Everything was agreed and nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, Yan Zhong ordered people to take Huangfu Jian's general order to send Qin Jie and Sun Jian to Runan. Although Qin Jie and Sun Jian did not know the intention, the military orders should not be violated, so they had to obey the orders.

At noon, Ju Yi and Gao Shun led 40,000 infantrymen and more than 50,000 Yellow Turban Army prisoners back to Wancheng. Hu Xiao Camp took over to learn about Wancheng's defense, Canglang Camp, and the Yellow Turban Army prisoners were stationed outside the city, and the Yellow Turban Army began to rectify.

After the two camps of Tiger Roar and Canglang returned to defense, Huangfu Jian immediately ordered the three cavalry of Long, Tiger and Leopard to return to Luoyang, and he had five thousand personal guards to temporarily live in Wancheng.
