Chapter 128 Arrangements for joining the army
"Boom!" The giant tree collided, and a section of the Wubao gate wall collapsed.
"Yiyang Erlang! Follow me to beg the thief!" shouted excitedly, a strong man with a knife ripped off the iron helmet on his head, and a large number of swordsmen followed him towards Wubao.
"Okay! Okay!" They clapped their hands and cheered. Behind the battlefield, a young man wearing light armor cheered repeatedly. Next to him, Liu Cang was holding a halberd and sitting on a horse.
"Haoxuan is really awesome. This badger is very effective. I will visit Haoxuan one day and I will definitely ask Haoxuan Haosheng for advice on how to raise badgers." Seeing his soldiers rushing into Wubao, the overall situation seems to be settled, the young man praised Liu Cang.
.
But the scene at this time was that Liu Cang was about to march to Huangfu Song's army, and along the way he encountered volunteers encircling Wubao, which was occupied by the Yellow Turbans.
This group of volunteers was limited in number, and seeing that the opponent could not attack the fort for a while, Liu Cang ordered his badgers to dig up the ground near the gate wall of Wubao, charge into the city and break through the wall with one blow, and this was how he launched his attack.
"It's not of great use, it's just that the walls of this Wubao are crude." Liu Cang shook his head and chuckled.
"Since there is nothing to do here, Cang will leave first." Liu Cang said to the young man as the rear cavalry changed formation.
"Why should Haoxuan be in a hurry? There is a Yellow Turban Fort within less than a hundred miles here. Why don't you and I brothers defeat it and increase our military exploits?" The young man invited Liu Cang.
"Haha, thank you for your kindness, brother, Cang Shang has some generals waiting in General Huangfu's army." Liu Cang cupped his fists and smiled, preparing to lead his army to leave.
The young man in front of him knew Liu Cang, but Liu Cang didn't know him. He heard that he was a descendant of the Han family in Yiyang, and his uncle was serving as a middle marquis under Zhi Jinwu. Liu Cang conveniently helped him break the city, but he had no intention of benefiting from it.
"It's a pity that Hao Xuan went first. Hao Xuan will be credited with the great military achievements here." Young Han Chang was slightly disappointed.
"Then I'll help you, brother. Take care, brother!" Liu Cang said goodbye to him, and all the riders turned away with him.
The so-called military merits, for a volunteer like Han Chang who did not eat military rations and did not return to the unified battle arrangements of the official army, if he did not surrender the prisoners, the Yellow Turbans' military exploits would be counted by the number of heads.
There was great chaos in Yuzhou, and when we reached the northern foot of Songshan Mountain, there were no more refugees here.
Those in counties, cities and towns are either officials or bandits.
Outside the city, soldiers and armor are on their bodies, and those who hold the bandits' tokens and flags are the army.
Live in concentrated villages, where women, children, and elders are all present, and those who uphold peace and promulgation for the people are the people.
In addition, those who roam the wilderness, gather in groups of ten, and hold iron weapons are all Yellow Turban rebels.
In June, Liu Cang led his troops to Yingchuan to surrender to Huangfu Song. What he saw along the way made Liu Cang very suspicious whether Huangfu Song had an affair with the Yellow Turban.
In the first battle of Changshe against Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun dispersed the Yellow Turbans, and the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou was defeated by two points.
Going all the way south, detouring around Songshan Xuanyuan in search of Yellow Turban Zhang Mancheng wanted to occupy Nanyang Wancheng.
They gathered all the way and fled north, taking advantage of the waterway, hoping to enter Yanzhou and reorganize.
When the Yellow Turbans went south, Zhu Jun led his troops to pursue them. Huangfu Song took command of the central army. After clearing away the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou, they would go north again to fight against the thieves.
Everything has been normal up to this point, but the current situation regarding the suppression of Yuzhou is not normal.
Huangfu Songtong's imperial court had tens of thousands of elite troops, including the infantry battalion Shesheng battalion and other northern army forbidden troops. There were countless volunteers from all over the country who were willing to eat military rations and obey his orders.
However, Liu Cang looked along and saw that Huangfu Song did not have a large army to sweep away the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou. Instead, the volunteer regiments who had brought their own equipment, received tokens to defeat thieves, and accumulated military exploits were encircling and suppressing the defeated Yellow Turbans.
At first glance, wars are raging all over Yuzhou, so the progress of the war should not be too lively.
But in essence, this is definitely stragglers versus stragglers, and the whole thing is just novices pecking each other.
Huangfu Song refused to suppress the bandits, and did not advance northward. His army was stationed in Yingchuan and could not leave. Liu Cang was really confused.
With his head full of doubts, Liu Cang finally arrived at the station of Huangfu Song's army. The Songshan Mountains were on the side. If the weather was clear, he could also see the top of Xuanyuan Mountain in the southwest. This was the place where many talents from Yingchuan were born.
There are military camps scattered along the way, checkpoints one after another, Chinese military company camps, and numerous military tents on an unknown low mountain to the north of the main camp.
There was the garrison of volunteer regiments that provided their own equipment and led independently. Most of them were led by children of wealthy families. Because they were worried that there would be no hope of distributing military merits among the army, they received the thief-defeating token as a volunteer and independently pursued the Yellow Turban soldiers to accumulate military merits.

Liu Cang marched to the central army, which was a regular army barracks that was completely obeyed by Huangfu Song, and military merits were uniformly distributed by Huangfu Song. The regular army was the main force in the battle, and if the barracks were open, volunteers would be brave enough to avoid them.
The Chinese military camps are in a row, and there are many regiments stationed in separate camps.
"Shh~~" Liu Cang walked all the way, whistling and laughing around him.
However, it was because Liu Cang was accompanied by a female rider, which caused ridicule from the policemen along the way. The female rider was angry. Bian was worried and peeked at Liu Cang. Seeing that Liu Cang was ignoring him and was lazy, she followed Liu Cang with a cold face and silence.
"Stop, who is coming!" Liu Cang was stopped by the soldiers outside the camp again. When asked, laughter could be heard in the camp.
"Hahahahaha, General Huangfu said that there are strong generals joining the army, Haoxuan is here okay?" He laughed boldly and got close to him. He saw several armored men rushing towards the camp gate, led by Cao Cao, and many strong young men beside him.
"Congratulations to Meng De for your promotion. Liu Cang, a common man, has met the Cavalry Commander, haha." Cao Cao said with a smile, and Liu Cang followed suit. In a blink of an eye, Cao Cao was approaching.
"General Huangfu has an order, let him go." When he got close, Cao Cao said to the guards, and then looked at Liu Cang.
The guards put away their spears and spears, and Liu Cang dismounted to greet Cao Cao. The cavalry behind Liu Cang also dismounted.
"This Cavalry Captain can't compare to your majesty in defeating thousands of armies with a hundred cavalry. Today I know that Haoxuan is brave. I am ashamed to be my brother." Seeing Liu Cang's mighty armor and terrifying halberd, Cao Cao's eyes were filled with strange colors.
"Haha, the moth thieves in Zhuo County are short of soldiers and armor, and there are many old, weak, women and children. The theory of an army is not true." Liu Cang smiled and shook his head, and the Bian family beside him stood up to help him lead the horse, and there were others.
Xu Qun stepped forward to help Liu Cang carry the halberd.
Bian's cloth armor, her figure is not very unusual, but she is very eye-catching with four strong women beside her. These four women are guarding Liu Cang with shields on the battlefield. Liu Cang named them "Sifu", and he was more fond of them.
He was valued by Liu Cang.
"Huo~, there are four female warriors here, Haoxuan is still so informal." Seeing the four female soldiers, Cao Cao was startled, and then he realized that there were many women among the cavalry behind Liu Cang, something strange flashed across his face, for a moment
Wry smile and ridicule.
"It's a helpless move, why should I say it casually? Cang Ke can't compare to Meng De, Da Fu, let me bring my sisters to see Captain Cao." Cao Cao looked at Liu Cang's soldiers, and Liu Cang also looked at the people around Cao Cao.
The cold-faced and arrogant Xia Houdun, the half-grown Cao Ren, the bratty Xia Houyuan, the smiling Qin Yilu, and the others Liu Cang didn't know much about. Now that Cao Cao was leading the troops in the first battle, he immediately pulled out a group of generals.
"I've seen the Cavalry Commander." The four girls clasped their fists and saluted.
"A strong woman doesn't need to be polite." Cao Cao said with a smile, but saw that the man holding the horse next to Liu Cang seemed to have a kind face.
"This is the commander of a certain female soldier." Liu Cang gave way to the Bian family.
"I've seen Captain Cavalry. Captain Cao is fine." Bian clasped his fists solemnly, and the smile on Cao Cao's face suddenly stiffened.
"Bian Ji.
"Cao Cao stared at Bian's eyebrows under his iron helmet in disbelief. Isn't this the girl who was invited by Wang Yun to choreograph?
"Hahaha, where is the young master? Pan Feng is here!" Cao Cao stiffly twisted his neck and looked at Liu Cang. Pan Feng's voice suddenly came from the camp.
I saw Pan Feng leading his troops and attracted Liu Cang's attention, making Cao Cao look lonely with questions in his eyes.
"Haha, sir, Pan Feng has returned to camp." When he came to Liu Cang, Pan Feng knelt down and bowed. Liu Cang nodded and helped him up. Several people around Cao Cao looked at Liu Cang with even more solemnity.
Pan Feng, in the first battle of Changshe, he obeyed General Huangfu and fought with great majesty. This man is actually a general of Liu Cang's family?
Under Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun's attributes are not as good as those of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but he is worse than Pan Feng. Pan Feng has been trained by Liu Cang for several months. Now among Cao Cao's group, Xiahou Dun is the only one who can defeat Pan Feng in a single fight.
Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan are still young men. Now Pan Feng is following Huangfu Song. In the battle of Changshe, he really looked like a general. But I don't know if he will be killed by Hua Xiong again when he meets Hua Xiong.
.'
Wait, wait, everyone commented and speculated on Liu Cang's combat power, and Cao Cao was already going crazy.
You guys, your focus is wrong, right? Bian Ji? Is this Bian Ji?
This girl is very beautiful, someone told Liu Haoxuan, this guy is unreasonable! How could he strike so quickly?!
