I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 235, Seeds of Fire

After Xu Wei reflected, he began to increase his support for the Yellow Turban Army. In addition to teaching them military skills, he also gave them lessons himself. Knowing how to do these things, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army may have learned enough to deal with feudal princes. After all, their enemies are not imperial soldiers.

And it was precisely because Lei Gong taught the class in person that the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who came here finally began to pay attention to internal affairs.

At the same time, in order to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army, Xu Wei also recruited experienced veterans from the Rattan Armor Army, and asked them to return to his own army with the Yellow Turban Army soldiers, and use these experienced veterans to help them form bases , form an army, and enhance combat effectiveness.

And the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army in various places did not have many rejections. If the gap between the two sides was not too big, these leaders would suspect that Lei Gong wanted to annex their army by such means.But now there is a state in Lei Gong's hands, with tens of millions of troops and 30 elites, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a prince.Everyone is asking for support in Bingzhou. The gap between the two sides is too big. Instead, they are not worried that their army will be annexed by the Fujika Army, and some people even want to let the Fujika Army annex it.

Because it is much better to be a military commander in the Tengjia Army than to be a handsome man in other places. Although they can rule 3 to 5 people in the Central Plains and look majestic, they can only live in the mountains. Usually, you have to be careful of being attacked by the Han army, and your life is worse than that of the most miserable victims in the Tengjia army.

It is like the Tengjia Army here, whether it is the treatment of soldiers or officers, it is on par with that of the Han Army, and the life in Bingzhou is much better than that in the mountains. The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army have been in Bingzhou for more than ten days, and many people are already reluctant to leave. .

In this way, most of the Yellow Turban Army received a month's training in Shangdang, and returned to their respective armies with the veterans and supplies supported by the Tengjia Army!
May of the first year of Chuping (190)!

Yu Du, commander of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, is leading the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army to surround Linzi, the largest city in Qingzhou. Unfortunately, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army do not have the equipment to attack the city. Even though he surrounded Linzi for more than a month, he still failed to break through Linzi!
And at this time, his personal guard came to report that Guan Hai had returned from Bingzhou.

Yu Du Daxi went out of the camp to meet Guan Hai in person!
Seeing Guan Hai, he was overjoyed and asked, "Did you bring the crowbar?"

Guan Hai smiled and said: "I brought five hundred, and Lei Gong Qu Shuai also supported our two hundred supervisors, saying that it helped us improve the combat effectiveness of our soldiers!"

At this time, Yu Du discovered that Guan Hai's team was a bit long. Originally, Guan Hai took 100 people to Bingzhou to keep Guan Hai safe, but now they have returned with more than 300 cavalry!
Bao Xin, the leader, cupped his hands and saluted: "Hi, Commander Yu Du, my name is Bao Xin, and I am a military commander of the Tengjia Army! I came here to help Commander Qu train the army and improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army! "

Yu Du asked, "Just like Zhang Yan back then?"

Bao Dao said: "That's right, and our Shuai Qu also brought a message saying that the princes of the Han Dynasty are now trying to find a way to fight against Dong Zhuo, which made Qu Shuai's army grow and grow to the current scale.

But now Qu Shuai's threat to the big Han and other princes has surpassed that of Dong Zhuo. I am afraid that those princes will lead troops to attack Qu Shuai soon. Will be wiped out by the princes of the Han Dynasty! "

Yu Du asked, "What suggestion does Shuai Lei have?"

Bao Channel: "Give up on attacking the big cities, and instead attack the Wubao of the nobles, accumulate food and other materials, build bases in weak mountainous areas under the rule of the Han Dynasty, occupy the countryside at the same time, and slowly accumulate strength! Accumulate food widely and build walls high." It is the words that our commander-in-chief brought to the commander-in-chief!"

Yu Du was still skeptical about giving up attacking Dacheng: "But there are millions of Yellow Turban soldiers in Qingzhou, and there are more than 30 Yellow Turban soldiers besieging Linzi. With so many people retreating to the mountainous area, I'm afraid that everyone will be killed." Are you starved to death?"

Yu Du came out of the mountains, and most of his subordinates died of starvation or freezing to death in the mountains, so he didn't want to go into the mountains anymore.

Bao Xin said confidently: "According to our experience in Jizhou, there will be 20 to 30 shi of grain in each Wubao. As long as we can conquer more than a dozen Wubao, the grain we get will be enough for us to survive the winter, and we have Enough food and supplies to train soldiers."

After finishing speaking, Bao Xin glanced at the yellow turban military camp like a beggar camp and said: "I may be a bit straightforward, but Qu Shuai's place is really not like a military camp, even worse than our refugee camp in Bingzhou, the commander's men have to go through Only after a period of training can you have combat effectiveness! Like now, you can only be slaughtered by a big man!"

Yu Du was a little embarrassed to hear this, his current subordinates are worse than those he had in Jizhou at the beginning, because most of his people now are ordinary people who were oppressed by Yuan Shao and the others this year and couldn't survive, so they took refuge in him .

Not to mention that they don't have any military skills, everyone is still pale and thin, if they can't survive, they won't come to him.The fighting power of such troops can be imagined.

The bitter chief next to Yu Du smiled wryly: "If they survived, they would not come to join us. Now people die every day in this camp. It is already very difficult for everyone to live, and they have no energy to do other things at all!"

The bitter chieftain's words reminded Bao Xin of his previous life in Jizhou, and he said with red eyes: "Even if this is the case, the commander-in-chief must organize his troops instead of sending them to death like now."

Yu Du said helplessly: "But we can't find food. Only the big city has food. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to attack Linzi. This is an ancient city with a thousand years old. The city wall alone is 10 feet high. Many of us died. There are tens of thousands of people, but they haven't even climbed the city wall!"

Bao Xin thought for a while and said: "If Qu Shuai believes in us, he can find a Wubao and let us lead people to break through it. The food inside should be enough for everyone to eat for more than half a month!"

Yu Du thought for a while and said: "There is a Zhao family castle not far from Linzi. Although this Wubao is small but extremely strong, it is also full of people from the Zhao family. There are probably more than 1000 private soldiers, but no one is fierce. We are afraid of death, we have attacked several times without success, and tens of thousands of people died instead!"

Bao Xin nodded and said, "Okay, let's take this Zhaojiabao! Commander Qu, please give me 1000 men and 3 shi of food. I promise to conquer Zhaojiabao within [-] days!"

After thinking about it, Yu Du handed over Guan Hai's subordinates to Bao Xin!
Then more than 2 Yellow Turban Army followed Bao Xin to Zhaojiabao!
On the first day, Baoxin didn't attack at all, but let more than [-] people eat porridge for a day, so that these people could eat as much as they wanted!
Looking at these weak bodies, Bao Xin shook his head!

Guan Hai said in embarrassment: "Everyone can't eat enough, so that's the only way!"

Bao Dao said: "But at least you have to have a whole body of equipment. If you can't afford leather armor, you have to get rattan armor. It's better than using your body to block the knife! We Shuai Qu said that no armor is better than no armor!"

But Guan Hai said: "We also tried it, but everyone couldn't eat enough, and they didn't have the energy to make rattan armor. We also made some rattan armor, but basically they couldn't be used after a few knives. No more made!"

Bao Xin said helplessly: "After all, it's still a matter of food. Our Tengjia Army has never been short of food since it was established, and Qu Shuai also made them eat three meals a day in order to make them stronger. Build strength!"

Guan Hai said helplessly: "We don't have the ability of Lei Gong Qu Shuai. To put it bluntly, Lei Gong Qu Shuai can lead the Tengjia Army to grow under the oppression of the big man. This is a skill that even great virtuous teachers don't have. Follow Lei Gong Qu Shuai is a blessing!"

Bao Dao said, "Then you have to learn it well. As long as you learn how to use a crowbar, every fort in the world will be your granary!"

The next day!

Bao Xin ordered the 2 Yellow Turban soldiers to surround Wubao, while Zhaojiabao only had 1000 private soldiers, and they didn't dare to take the initiative to attack. They just took the wall of Wubao and watched Bao Xin and their actions!

Then Bao Xin ordered the soldiers to start digging trenches beyond the range of bows and arrows, laying wooden boards for defense every time they dug a section. The distance of 100 steps was less than half a day, and they dug to the wall of the Wubao. Dig the trench horizontally to dig out the base of the dock!
In the end, he led Guan Hai and other 300 soldiers who came out of Bingzhou to pry off the bricks of the city wall with crowbars. In less than a stick of incense, a huge hole appeared in the city wall of Wubao. Go deep, and soon the entire Wubao will be dug through!
Guan Hai waved the crowbar excitedly and shouted: "Go in! Kill all the enemies!"

Other soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army rushed in from this cave with their spears excitedly. The Zhaojiabao people couldn't resist at all, and were quickly killed. Afterwards, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army happily carried the food and other supplies inside. .

Guan Hai even went to the granary of Wupu excitedly, and then excitedly told Bao Bao: "This Wubao has about 15 shi of grain, which is enough for our entire Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to eat for a month!"

Bao Xin said with a smile: "So we only need to lay down 12 such forts, and the food we get is enough to feed us for a year, and the world with this year is enough for us to train an elite team. You must know that we cannot fight in the field." To defeat the main force of the Han army, the vast territory you occupy is useless, and once the Han army comes, you can only flee to the mountains!"

Guan Hai smiled and said: "As long as we can eat enough, the Han army may not be our opponent. Now that we have these crowbars, we can break through the Wubao of Qingzhou one by one. With food and equipment, the strength of our army It will become stronger and stronger!"

Bao Xin said regretfully: "The process shouldn't be like this. You can't kill innocent people indiscriminately like this. It's right to keep some people behind and call the people around to have a public trial of the people in Zhaojiabao. There is no public trial, and there is no hanging of the elites. There is no soul in attacking Wubao like this!"

Guan Hai said disapprovingly, "I'm going to kill them anyway, so it would be better to kill them all now!"

But Bao Xin said: "The name is not right, the words are not right. We kill them like this, which is not much different from the bandits and bandits. But if we catch them and announce their crimes in front of the people, we are doing justice for the sky, and the people around us are doing justice." People will support us only when they know that we are a team to help them. We want to establish a base in Qingzhou, and the support of the people is very important!"

"Our commander-in-chief attaches great importance to the support of the people. When the Tengjia Army was first established, our commander-in-chief formulated very strict military discipline and strictly prohibited us from disturbing the people. However, our Tengjia Army can develop and grow into what it is today. Thanks to the people for their support!"

Although Guan Hai didn't know the way, he still said, "Since Lei Gongqushuai left behind the method, then we will use this method in the future. Lei Gongqushuai is so capable, there must be nothing wrong with listening to him!"

After conquering Zhaojiabao, Bao Xin and Guan Hai returned to Yudu's camp with the loot, and the huge amount of food caused a commotion in the entire Yudu camp!

Yu Du even came out to greet him in person. After seeing Bao Xin, he said excitedly: "As expected of Lei Gongqu Shuai's subordinates, every attack must be conquered, and the battle must be won. It only took two days for the world to break through the Zhaojiabao. incredible!"

Bao Channel: "As long as the crowbar is used reasonably, the world's docks are not difficult to conquer!"

Yu Du looked at the grain and grass that kept entering the camp, thought for a while and said, "I have seen Brother Bao Xin's ability, I want to appoint you, Brother Bao Xin, as the chief coach of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, to help us train our soldiers and teach them how to attack. Wubao's tactics!"

Bao Xin nodded and said, "Yes!"

After gaining the trust of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Bao Xin connected with Yu Po and other senior officials of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to reorganize the Yellow Turban Army. Don't look at the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army's million-dollar army, but it does include the old, weak, women, children and the whole family. There are no more than 20 young and strong who can really fight, and the real combat effectiveness may only be Yu Du's first few thousand veterans.

The others were joined by the common people, not to mention that they didn’t have much fighting power, and they looked like they were going to starve to death at any time. Such an army would have fighting power, which is why the princes at the end of Han Dynasty swept hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans at every turn. , because the Yellow Turban Army can really fight only tens of thousands of people, and their combat effectiveness is not strong at all!
And Bao Xin's first step was to select the young and strong of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and got about 20 main forces of the Yellow Turban Army, all of whom were hungry and thin with a sharpened wooden stick!
80 old and weak women and children were divided into 80 teams, managed by the head of the ten thousand, and then they were arranged by Bao Xin to enter Guishan Mountain, and asked them to cut down some rattan to make some rattan armor, rattan shields, wooden spears, and wooden traps. Give them all the logistics of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, let them do what they can, and at the same time let them set up a camp on Mount Gui, which will be the base of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the future!
