Chapter 308: Battle with Guiyang

Huangfu Jian personally conquered Xiakou. Although he did not care about specific matters, he was like a Dinghai Dingkei. He could stabilize people's hearts by putting it in the prefect's mansion like this. Even the local tyrants in Xiakou City dared not make any changes.

After Huangfu Jian met, the generals acted immediately. Li Jue and Han Dang ordered their troops and led 10,000 troops to leave Xiakou City. After all, the war was important, and they did not dare to slack off. After these two generals led their troops to leave, there were only 10,000 troops left in Zhenxi Army in Xiakou City, but the number of surrendered troops was as many as 40,000.

Under this severe disparity in proportion, Zu Mao's burden suddenly became heavier. On the one hand, he had to handle Sun Jian's funeral, on the other hand, he had to maintain order in the city, and on the other hand, he had to select elite troops from these surrendered soldiers to join the Zhenxi Army. Fortunately, Huangfu Jian sent Guo Jia to help, otherwise Zu Mao would have been busy and sick.

The next day, Gu Yong, the prefect of Changsha, came, and more than a dozen followers came with him.

"Meet the lord!" Gu Yong met Huangfu Jian for the first time in the study of the Xiakou Prefect's Mansion.

"No gift! Please sit down!"

Huangfu Jian sat in the upper position, looked at the young man with great interest and said lightly.

"Thank you lord!" Gu Yong knelt down and sat down beside the tables.

"Our army in Xiakou has just been taken down, and people's hearts are still a little unstable. You should take responsibility for the government affairs here first, and make arrangements after the officials assigned by the Ministry of Personnel arrive." Huangfu Jian said straight to the point.

"No!" Gu Yong replied loudly.

Only then did Gu Yong have time to take a closer look at the person who was sitting on his head, a godlike figure. What he never expected was that Huangfu Jian was still so young and not much older than him, but he had such power, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Huangfu Jian seemed to know that Gu Yong was observing him, with a calm look on his fair face. It was no big deal if the sky fell, which made Gu Yong on the side feel at ease.

"The four counties of Changsha, Jiangxia, Guiyang and Lingling have vast land and sparse populations and backward economy, but have fertile land and abundant water sources, which are suitable for planting rice. I hope that Lord Gu can organize the people to build water conservancy, cultivate land and open up land, turn this thousand miles of fertile soil into a real grain field, produce a large amount of grain, and build it into our army's largest grain production base." Huangfu Jian looked at this young man who had been the Prime Minister of the Eastern Wu in his previous life and said slowly.

"The population here is already small, and most of them control the hands of those wealthy families. The number of self-cultivated farmers is seriously insufficient." Gu Yong said slowly with helpless expression on his face.

Of course, Gu Yong knew that Huangfu Jian was right, but he had no choice but to no one, so he almost reached out to ask Huangfu Jian for someone.

"We can't touch these wealthy families for the time being. The population is not enough, so we will find a way. Now that the Central Plains is in wars and refugees are everywhere, we will transfer some of the refugees here. Then you will discuss with Zumao and Su Fei to form a military farmer to pick up the remaining surrendered soldiers and build a military farmer in Xiakou." Huangfu Jian thought for a while and said.

"As for the order!" Gu Yong heard that the army in the town had tens of thousands of laborers, and he immediately turned to joy.

At this time, Jiangnan was not only backward in its economy, but also had many mountains in the south. Most of the people from Shanyue lived here, and wars broke out frequently, so no one was willing to settle in such a place. At this time, Jiangnan was somewhat similar to Xiliang in the past.

"There is another thing. I will ask you to establish a recruitment hall and recruit talents from Jingxiang for my own use. Then the Ministry of Personnel will send officials to come over to assess them. Generally, those with real talents and scholars will be highly valued." Huangfu Jian said to Gu Yong again.

"As for your order!" Gu Yong replied.

Huangfu Jian gave Gu Yong another order, and Gu Yong said goodbye and left. After all, Xiakou has just been taken down and is still in a mess. Gu Yong has too many things to do, so he doesn't want to waste time on Huangfu Jian.

The people in Xiakou were busy here without mentioning it, but said that Li Jue led 10,000 elite soldiers to Guiyang County.

On this day, in the prefect of Guiyang County, the prefect Zhao Fan was recruiting his subordinates to discuss political affairs.

"Report!" Suddenly, a panicked voice came from outside the mansion.

"What's the matter with panic!" Zhao Fan frowned and shouted unhappily.

"Sir, the big thing is wrong. A large army is coming to our Guiyang." The whistle cavalry entered the mansion, knelt on the ground, and said in panic.

"A large army came to us? Do you know where the army came from?" Zhao Fan frowned deeper and asked in a deep voice. He couldn't think of anyone else who would think of remote areas like Guiyang, not to mention that there was no powerful army nearby except for the local armed forces organized by the mountain villagers.

"Just investigating the Ma Lai report, this army has about 10,000 people, under the banner of Zhenxi Army." The whistle cavalry replied.

"Zhenxi Army? How is it possible! How did they run until our officers were brought under control?" Zhao Fan's expression changed and his heart sank when he heard the words "Zhenxi Army".

Although Zhao Fanyuan avoided Nanzon and had never seen a soldier in Zhenxi Army, let alone how powerful they were, the words "Huangfu Jian" in Zhenxi Army were so famous that they had left a deep mark in his heart.

"What suggestions do you have for the invasion of the Zhenxi Army?" After a while, Zhao Fan calmed down and looked at the ministers in the mansion and asked. He had no idea now and had to place his hope on others.

The name of Zhenxi Army was not only Zhao Fan knew, but also Zhao Fan knew who was the ministers in the palace, and they were so famous. General Huangfu Jian of Zhenxi was even more amazing. After hearing that the Zhenxi Army was invading, these people were not only taciturn, but also thought about various thoughts, and some even began to surrender.

"Tell me! Aren't you all very capable on weekdays? Why are you all mute now?"

When Yue Fan saw that there were dozens of people in the mansion, none of them dared to speak out. He was angry, and his official power was great. He roared loudly, venting the horror and anxiety in his heart.

Zhao Fan had heard that General Huangfu Jian of Zhenxi was a murderer without blinking. I don’t know how many corrupt officials died at his hands. Almost all the powerful officials in Guanzhong were killed by him. Therefore, when he heard that the Zhenxi Army was coming, Zhao Fan felt fear first, an irresistible fear.

Just kidding, the powerful Zhenxi Army, even the Xianbei Iron Cavalry and Yellow Turban thieves, were defeated by them, not to mention that he was a small Guiyang County, hitting stones with eggs, and completely hitting stones with eggs. However, Zhao Fan did not dare to surrender, because he was afraid that Zhenxi Army would kill him. He seemed to have done a lot of bad things over the years, greedy for a lot of money, and forced many innocent people to death.

Amid Zhao Fan's roar, two people who were not afraid of death stood up.

"The last general is willing to lead his troops to fight against the Zhenxi Army!" The two great men stood up and shouted loudly.

Zhao Fan looked down and found that it was Chen Ying and Bao Long, the captain of the military under his tent. These two were originally hunters from Guiyang Mountain Township and had outstanding martial arts. Chen Ying would fly fork, and Bao Long had shot and killed the twin tigers. The two of them were brave and short-sighted people, but they didn't know how powerful Zhenxi Army was.

"Two generals, the two generals, defeat the Xianbei, destroy the Yellow Turbans, and force Dong Zhuo to death, are not earth-shaking events. They are very powerful. You two are afraid they are not their opponents." Zhao Fan was happy when he saw the two of them standing up, but then he thought about it and said in a deep voice.

Both of them have been in the mountains since childhood, so they didn't know what Xianbei, Yellow Turbans, Dong Zhuo and the like. Now, when they heard Zhao Fan's words, they were even more dissatisfied and furious, and they spoke loudly: "My lord only needs to give a certain three thousand soldiers, and they must capture the enemy general."

He is soaring, but he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick! A typical arrogant man!

"Good! I have two generals, so why worry about Guiyang's failure to protect you. I ordered you to lead 3,000 troops as vanguards and go out of the city to fight the western army. I personally lead the army and support you."

Seeing Chen Ying and the two generals Bao Long were full of fighting spirit and murderous aura, Zhao Fan seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

The next day, Chen Ying and Bao Long led a three thousand army out of the north city gate and headed north along the official road. As soon as the army reached twenty miles outside the north city, they encountered a 10,000 army of Li Jue who was rushing towards Guiyang.

The two armies met and each formed a formation.

Li Jue slapped his horse and speared, came to the two armies, and shouted loudly: "Ha! Who is coming? Sign up quickly and die!"

In Huangfu Jian's previous life, Li Jue's position in Dong Zhuo's army was only lower than Dong Zhuo, ranking second, and his martial arts were also above Hua Xiong, and he was considered a master. Although Hua Xiong was very lucky in this life, he met Huangfu Jian very early, and his martial arts were much more powerful than his previous life, Li Jue was still a rare general, otherwise Huangfu Jian would not have sent him to Changsha and served as deputy general of the Silver Fox Camp.

The 10,000 soldiers of the Silver Fox Camp led by Li Jue were mostly Dong Zhuo's subordinates. These northerners were tall and looked like cheetahs standing there. Coupled with the spears in their hands, they gave people a strong pressure.

Li Jue's ten thousand army had only 500 cavalry, and the rest were infantry. The regular infantry of Zhenxi Army was configured in proportion to 334, that is, there were three thousand swords, shield soldiers, three thousand archers, and four thousand spear soldiers in the 10,000 army.

"This general is Chen Ying (Bao Long), the garrison general of Guiyang. Why did the enemy thieves invade our Guiyang border?"

Chen Ying and Bao Long were also unwilling to be outdone. They raised their weapons, slapped their horses to greet them, and replied loudly.

"I am under the command of the general of the Western Army, Li Jue, the chief general of the Silver Fox Camp! I will take you Guiyang by my lord's order. My lord General Huangfu has fallen in love with you Guiyang, so he looks down on you, why are you still obsessed with you? Surrender quickly! I am under the command of you and have some martial arts, so I can barely become a famous general under my lord!" Li Jue waved his spear in his hand and shouted.

When Li Jue saw that Chen Ying and Bao Long were both tall and big, with a burly appearance, they looked honest and honest. Even the weapons in their hands were very special. Chen Ying was carrying a five-stranded iron fork, and Bao Long even carried a pair of big iron hammers, which looked very powerful. He liked them now, so he wanted to surrender them.
