Chapter 367 Yangzhou surrenders its troops

Xi Zhicai was lucky that Liu Cang had no time to care about him for the time being.

First of all, Xi Zhicai's body was severely depleted and needed to be recuperated.

Next, Luoyang's war machine was activated, and Liu Cang wanted to send troops out of Yanmen to prepare for war. He usually trained Zhou Yu in a hurry and took his time, not caring about Xi Zhicai.

So Xi Zhicai is very lucky, at least that's what Zhu Fu thinks.

Zhu Fu did not dare to tell Xi Zhicai this understanding, because he was afraid that Xi Zhicai would give up his own life and escape from the two kind-hearted doctors.

During the Battle of Xuancheng, Liu Cang escorted nearly 40,000 prisoners back to Luoyang. Almost most of these prisoners were conscripted from Yangzhou. They lost their respect when they were freed, and the soldiers who were included in Yangzhou had no military morale. If they failed, they would surrender, and they could easily be incited to rebel.

.

The fastest way to unite the morale of the army is undoubtedly to pick an enemy who will not cause psychological pressure to fight. It is autumn, and this is the time when the grassland is rich and fertile.

Nomads like to plunder Han lands during this season to minimize their baggage burden. They can fight and run until winter comes. Faced with the harsh weather, the Han people are unable to pursue and counterattack them.

After one winter, the Han people's excitement about plundering also subsided greatly. As long as they showed a friendly attitude, the Han army was mostly unwilling to risk going deep into the grasslands to fight.

Repeating this cycle over and over again, the nomads maintained this rhythm and constantly tested the bottom line of the border areas, and gradually found out the safer experience of plundering the Han Dynasty.

At this time of year, Xianbei's fighting power is at its strongest, they can run and fight, and the Han people usually do not attack them at this time of year.

However, Liu Cang has been training troops for many years and has made many preparations. He originally meant Xianbei and was prepared to fight against them in the harsh weather.

And now that they have obtained another 40,000 surrendered troops, since they want to build military morale, it is time to have a head-on fight with Xianbei.

"Gongyi, Youping, I have sent ten thousand of your horses to the Yangzhou Army to form a cavalry army, which will also serve as a supervisor. Do you have any questions?" Liu Cang asked the two generals in the Jianzhang Palace.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will save the last general to ensure that there will be no chaos in the Yangzhou army." The two of them clasped their fists solemnly.

Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Liu Cang were the two generals who were picked out from the defeated prisoners. There was originally one Song Qian, but he should have joined Sun Jian's army earlier. He insulted Liu Cang and destroyed the Sun family, and was killed by Liu Cang.

Already.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were originally engaged in their activities of water banditry, but they just left Taihu Lake and were surrounded and suppressed by the army before they could establish a foothold in Jiujiang. Faced with the precarious situation, they simply joined Yuan's army.

The two men had not been in the army for long, and Liu Cang entrusted them with important responsibilities. The two worshiped Liu Cang and became generals with heavy troops under Liu Cang's command.

The prisoners of Yuan's army were named Yangzhou Army by Liu Cang, and were handed over to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. They selected and appointed generals and captains from the Yangzhou Army. Before completing the Xianbei campaign, Liu Cang was not prepared to take care of this army.

.

"Wen He, how do you think we should arrange the left officials for them?" Liu Cang asked Jia Xu who was accompanying him after passing the front hall.

"Gong Jin has great talents, and when it comes to the future military affairs in Yangzhou, Gong Jin is a good candidate." Jia Xu said with a smile. Zhou Yu, who has often been with Liu Cang recently, was dazzled.

It doesn't matter whether he is the leader or the left official, as long as he doesn't have to follow Liu Cang. Zhou Yu looked thoughtful on his face and was full of expectations in his heart.

"Gongjin, um.

It's better to stay alone for a while. Gong Jin is a national scholar, so he should take care of his body first before talking about anything else." Liu Cang looked at Zhou Yu and shook his head for a moment.

".

"Zhou Yu's eyes twitched, what a high praise, can you give it up?

"Haha, my lord has been thinking for a long time." Jia Xu looked at Zhou Yu, who had a somewhat uneasy expression, and said with a smile.

Jia Xu was a veteran under Liu Cang, and he was the advisor. At any rate, Liu Cang knew how to take care of his prestige, and the training plan he arranged for him was relatively mild. He didn't seek short-term reinforcement, and that was all.

Zhou Yu was young, so it would be okay to work hard.

"Lord, this is the preparation.

To what extent?" Zhou Yu had a bad feeling in his heart and asked softly.

"Huh?" Liu Cang looked at Zhou Yu with a thoughtful expression, then looked at Taishi Ci, then at Zhang Xiu, and then his eyes turned to Wei Yan and Hua Xiong, as if he was thinking about the standards, which made Zhou Yu jump with fear.

"Well, that's pretty much it." After a moment, Liu Cang said calmly.

Zhou Yu cried out sadly in his heart, his lord has not thought about it at all, he is afraid that he will do whatever he wants? Zhou Yu wanted to refute, but thinking about the consequences of annoying Liu Cang, he swallowed his saliva and became dejected.

"Pa, pa." Huangfu Heng patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and gave Zhou Yu a big smile. Zhou Yu rolled his eyes, annoyed, and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"If Gong Jin doesn't come out, Zhu Zhi and Xu Sheng can also be qualified. They also have roots in Yangzhou, which will facilitate the formation of an army in Yangzhou in the future." Jia Xu recommended to Liu Cang again.

"Well, just them, you two should work together with them." Liu Cang nodded and said to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.

"Here!" the two agreed.

Zhu Zhi was already middle-aged and had some relationship with Zhu Jun. He also followed Sun Jian in his early years. After Zhu Hao's death, he returned to his hometown of Danyang. However, he broke up with Sun Jian because of Yuan Shu's attack on Danyang.

Zhu Zhi was recommended to Liu Cang by Zhou Shang, the prefect of Danyang, and Xu Sheng was recommended to Liu Cang by Ji Ling. As his family grew bigger, Liu Cang would be "falling into a trap" when he accepted his subordinates.

It’s hard to say what the future development of these people will be. As of now, Zhu Zhi and Xu Sheng may be at a higher level than Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. However, if Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are lucky, they will directly worship Liu Cang.

Especially now that the Yangzhou Army is in a special situation, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are more suitable as chief generals than Zhu Zhi and Xu Sheng.

"After leaving the customs this time, we can identify good talents in the army, which will prepare us for governing Yangzhou in the future." Liu Cang said to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.

"We can save it," Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin said seriously.

"Although the Yangzhou Army is a surrendered army, they will not be short of their military gains. If they carry out their military exploits, they will also be able to complete their family assets. Whether they return home in glory or rebel, it all depends on themselves, and they will explain it to the army in detail.

"Liu Cang spoke to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin again.

"Here! We, on behalf of the lieutenant generals of the army, would like to express our gratitude to Your Highness." The two of them were more accustomed to gangsterism. They raised their chests and clasped their fists, and their momentum was even higher than before.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Cang nodded silently, Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu, and Tai Shici shook their heads secretly. They heard that these two people were also favored by their lords. Zhou Yu and Huangfu Heng looked at each other. , there was quite a bit of joy in his expression.

"Wen He, how is Jia Mu's situation?" After explaining the situation of the Yangzhou Army, Liu Cang's tone seemed a little lighter and he asked Jia Xu.

"The bad boy doesn't have any special skills, but he is very cautious. He has taken over all the trivial matters in his hands and made no mistakes in a short period of time." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"It's just right that you will go out with me this time to see how it goes without you. If there is no serious problem, you will always be with me from now on." When Liu Cang said this, his tone was slightly envious.

"Haha, that's how it should be." Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled.

Of the people around them, only Huangfu Heng knew roughly what the two said. Huangfu Heng curled his lips secretly. Liu Cang, as old as a cat, wants to have fun all day long, and may even want to retire.

Well, yes, Liu Cang wants to retire, and he is also instigating the retirement of his own men. Many of Liu Cang’s old team members are now assigned to various places. He wants to take a group of old guys around, and Jia Xu is considered Liu Cang’s current boss. The only person under his command who has the conditions to accompany him everywhere.

Why? Cai Yong and Huangfu Song followed, Liu Canglang couldn't get up, and Jia Xu had a son who could be used as a "coolie".

Jia Mu, Jia Xu's eldest son, Jia Xu has taught his son everything at hand in the past two years.

They are a faction of princes and warlords. They want to prosper their family business, but they are not nomadic bandits. The rear foundation is still very important.

There are too many things involved in governing one party. If you want to have fun, you want to be wild, but you can't have no one to take care of the logistics and political affairs.

Not only did Liu Cang like to let himself go, Jia Xu was also led to some extent by Liu Cang, leaving all military and political affairs in his hands to Jia Mu. At most, Jia Xu could only control major matters.

The reason why Huangfu Heng curled his lips was that Huangfu Song also started to do this. And he actually wanted to do this, but his son.

The hair hasn't grown all the way yet.

Judging from the current situation, my son is scratching his head and doing the work, and I am enjoying the credit. Liu Cang is destined to have a group of masters who will deceive his son in the future.
