Chapter 475 I want to make progress so much!

"Is there anything we can't handle? Even if the angels tell you, we should fight to the death."

These powerful people were originally from well-off families, but they only had money and no power. Therefore, Zheng Hun ordered that even they had to move.

Both powerful people and powerful families have money, but powerful people have power while powerful people have no power. This is the difference.

A powerful man can only survive several lives without being ruined. If a few scholars appear in the family, and they slowly develop relationships with several poor families through marriage, a few generations later, they can become an aristocratic family.

Although they are now able to run rampant in the countryside, in the eyes of the aristocratic family, they are just bigger leeks that can be cut without fail.

"The Wei army will attack in Chongquan City soon. Chongquan will be empty by then. I will give you a hundred sets of armor. I want you to take advantage of the chaos to capture Chongquan. Do you have the courage?"

There are more than 10,000 Wei troops in Chongquan City. Even if they go to support, there will still be thousands left.

Taking over a city occupied by thousands of people was obviously not an easy task.

"When will the heavenly soldiers attack Chongquan?"

Ma Di smiled softly and said: "I, a big man, will attack Lian Shao and attract the troops in Chongquan City."

Guan Xing captured Guan and attracted the armies of Chongquan and Lianshao, while Zhang Fei's attack on Lianshao attracted the Wei army in Chongquan City. As a result, Chongquan City was empty.

Seeing everyone's hesitant look, Ma Di sneered and said: "Just now, you looked like you were not afraid of heaven and earth. Why are you afraid now? If Chongquan is captured, the children of your family will be qualified to enter the martial arts hall. If they are qualified, If so, you might as well become an official with two thousand stones. Some of those who entered the martial arts hall in the past few years have already become county guards. "

Everyone present has naturally heard of the name of the martial arts hall.

But to attack Chongquan as a refugee, even with a hundred sets of armor, I'm afraid it would still be a desperate effort.

Wang Zhang gritted his teeth and said immediately: "If we attack, we will attack. What are we afraid of? Wealth and honor are right in front of us, but if we don't dare to fight, then we deserve to be a servant."

Ma Su glanced at Wang Zhang approvingly.

If you want to get rich, how can you not work hard?

Could it be that your father and ancestor were high-ranking officials worth two thousand dan?
"Very good. From now on, it's up to you."

"Drive~"

"Drive~"

"drive!"

The messengers quickly rushed in from the official road to the east without encountering any obstacles along the way, and soon entered Chongquan City.

"Urgent report from Xiagui!"

All the way to the governor's house, the messenger met Zheng Hun, the governor of Zuo Fengyi.

"What happened?"

Zheng Hun was dealing with the messy affairs of the past few days and had not had a good night's sleep for several weeks.

Now that I saw the ordering soldiers huffing and puffing, the brows on their faces were frowning tightly.

"The Han army is besieging Xiagui. The situation is critical. Please send troops quickly!"

The Han army came to attack.

It’s better to capture Qiu first.

Zheng Hun just turned around in his mind and knew that this was the Han army trying to separate the Wei army on both sides of the Wei River.

The ferry between Xiagui and Zhengxian counties has gentle water flow and is connected by bridges. It is the link connecting the north and south sides of the Weishui River.

If this city is captured, Zhang Liao may not be able to rush to help quickly even if the Han army rushes to attack the cities of Zuo Fengyi on the north bank.

After thinking about this, Zheng Hun immediately said: "Send troops quickly to help Xiagui!"

Naturally, he couldn't leave Chongquan.

So he immediately called his good nephew Zheng Miao over.

"I will give you five thousand soldiers and horses to rush to Xiagui's aid. Remember, you must defend Xiagui City!"

There were originally 3,000 Wei troops in Xiaguang City, plus the 5,000 who rushed over to help, it should be possible to defend a small city with 8,000 people.

There was an embarrassed look on Zheng Miao's face.

"Uncle, I think it's better to choose someone else to help General Gui."

Seeing the submissive look on his nephew's face, Zheng Miao knew that he was afraid.

"How can you be the son of the Zheng family who is so afraid of death? Don't embarrass your last name."

After scolding him angrily, Zheng Hun's face showed some kindness again.

"Don't worry, although Xiagui City is not a fortified city, as long as you hold it for a few days, Zhang Wenyuan will immediately come to support you. He is a soldier, and the soldiers and weapons in his hands are elite. There is no need to be afraid. If you defend Xiagui City, you will be strong. It is not known yet whether he will be granted the title of Marquis by then due to his great achievements."

Zheng Miao had been training his troops for several days, but he didn't know what the soldiers in Chongquan City were like.

Just a rabble.

Such a sergeant may still be useful in defending the city, but if he is taken out of the city, his true colors may be revealed.

Facing Zheng Hun's hard and soft tactics, Zheng Miao had no choice but to step forward and said: "Uncle, it's not that my nephew is afraid of death, it's because the soldiers in the city can't be driven around. It's not a big deal if my nephew dies on the battlefield. If Zuo Feng is killed, If Yi is lost, it will be a big problem. How about letting the refugees from outside the city go to Xiagui to provide support? "

Aren't you afraid of death?

"Humph!"

Zheng Hun snorted coldly, his dissatisfaction directly showing on his face.

"The refugees outside the city are indeed a problem. Let's give them some food and grass, promise some benefits, and let them go with you to help Xiagui."

Why do you still want to go?
And take those refugees there with you?

Could it be that in his uncle's eyes, a few more people would increase his chances of winning?
Those refugees who followed the army would be thankful if they didn't hold them back.

Seeing that he could not evade, Zheng Miao could only smile bitterly and said: "There is no need to follow the refugees outside the city. My nephew can just lead the troops to help."

Zheng Hun enthusiastically stepped forward and took Zheng Miao's hand, saying softly: "Be careful along the way and don't take any risks."

Hearing Zheng Hun's words, Zheng Miao almost lost his temper.

Am I in danger?
It's obviously you, uncle!

But Zheng Miao had followed Zheng Hun since he was a child. Zheng Hun said he was his uncle, but in fact he was no different from his father. Naturally, he did not dare to disobey him, so he could only nodded with a dark face and said, "Nephew, be careful."

After saying that, he went out to lead the troops.

One day later, Zheng Mian selected the strongest men in the city, and under the leadership of three hundred tribesmen, rushed towards Xiagui for reinforcements.

From going to the military camp to selecting soldiers, which took a day, we can also see the quality of the Wei troops in the city.

There are only a few who can fight.

In fact, as Zheng Miao thought, they could still be fine in the city, but once they left the city, their true colors were revealed.

There is no such thing as neatness in the team.

It was okay to march crookedly. When leaving the city, there were still soldiers who dared to rush into the refugee tents and plunder and wreak havoc before they were willing to continue marching.

If Zheng Qian hadn't killed ten people in a row, he might not have been able to leave the Chongquan Refugee Area today.

Tired!
What kind of soldiers did I bring?
In the refugee area outside Chongquan City, Wang Zhang watched coldly as a large number of Wei troops left.

Just now, Wei Jun rushed into the refugee area, and his big tent was the first to be patronized. The property, food and grass inside, as well as the beautiful women collected in the past few days, were all taken away by the officers and soldiers.

But he remained calm.

But the fists hidden in the cuffs were already tightly clenched.

Losing some money, food and women, what does it matter?
When I capture Chongquan, how much food will I not be able to get, and how many beauties will I not be able to possess?
Just bear with it!

"The Wei army did not go towards Lianshao, but towards Xiagui. Looking at the number of Wei army, at least half of the city was gone. When the news came that Lianshao was besieged by the Han army, we would take Chongquan. opportunity!”

Most of the small refugee leaders present, headed by Wang Zhang, nodded after hearing this.

Each of them is already sharpening their knives.

Just as Wang Zhang expected, just one day later, another messenger quickly rushed into Chongquan City.

The direction of this messenger was coming from the direction of Lian Shao.

In Chongquan City.

Zheng Hun was paralyzed when he received the news that Lian Shao was besieged by the Han army. This Han army really didn't want to give him any time to rest!

"Did you see clearly that the banner of the Han army is the Chariot and Cavalry General Zhang?"

The messenger nodded solemnly and said: "The main force of the Han army is besieging Lianshao. When the villain rushed out of Lianshao City at the risk of death, he saw the banners of the Han army covering the sun. He could not see the end at a glance. There were at least tens of thousands of people. ”

Tens of thousands of people?
In other words, the Han army focused all its main forces on attacking the Lotus Spoon.

"It's a lie to capture Gui, and it's true to attack Lotus Spoon, but my nephew has already brought the city's elite to Xia Gui."

Zheng Hun was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the hall, sighing from time to time.

"Your Majesty, please relax, Xiagui is the most important thing. It is not important to send troops to rush for reinforcements. When Zhang Wenyuan comes with his troops, he will defeat the Han army in Xiagui and bring Uncle Lin's five thousand elites to rush for reinforcements. "

The speaker was Zuo Fengyi's chief secretary Jicheng. He was from Chongquan, and his ancestors were considered to have had a good time.

Ji Bu, the general of Xiang Yu's tribe, the overlord of Western Chu, was his ancestor.

"Master Chief, the situation is like this now, what should we do?"

Zheng Hun didn't understand military matters, so hearing about being attacked everywhere made his brain turn to mush.

"The top priority is to rush to the aid of Lotus Spoon."

rush to the rescue?

"There are not many soldiers in the city. If we send them out, what should we do if the Han army comes to attack Chongquan?"

Zheng Hun doesn't understand military affairs, but he is not stupid!

"Perhaps we can let the refugees outside the city grow stronger to help defend the city."

Let the refugees defend the city?
Zheng Hun immediately rejected this.

"Those refugees outside the city are disobedient to discipline. How can they be repaid if they enter the city?"

The chief bookkeeper Jicheng immediately said: "If you select young and strong refugees outside the city to enter the city, you don't need to let too many people into the city. Three thousand people will be enough. Put them outside the city. After some training, let them go to Lianshao for reinforcements." ”

It turned out that they were used as cannon fodder.

Zheng Hun felt slightly at peace.

"Just waiting for it to be practiced, wouldn't the Lotus Spoon be defeated by the Han army?"

The chief secretary, Ji Cheng, shook his head and said: "There are more than ten thousand soldiers in Lianshao City. If they can last for ten days and a half, there will be no problem at all."

In ten days and a half, Zhang Wenyuan also came with his troops. By then, these three thousand refugee troops would not be able to make any trouble.

Zheng Hun nodded immediately.

"The matter will be left to the chief register."

Ji Cheng's eyes flashed, but he said: "Please give me some grain, grass and cloth, so that I can recruit three thousand soldiers."

Recruiting soldiers must give them some benefits.

Three thousand more mouths are a big drain.

"I will give you three thousand pieces of cloth and three thousand hu of grain and grass."

Three thousand bolts of cloth and three thousand grains are quite a lot.

Ji Cheng immediately nodded and agreed.

"The Master is just waiting for the good news from me."

After Ji Cheng left, he immediately summoned Wang Zhang and other small refugee leaders.

Jicheng is a local nobleman in Chongquan, and his control over Chongquan may be much stronger than that of Zheng Hun, who is the prefect.

Zheng Hun can be said to have a dark eye on the situation of the refugees.

But Ji Cheng knew the general situation of the refugee army.

"The Lord wants to recruit three thousand soldiers. If you recruit ten people, you will be a captain. If you recruit a hundred people, you will be a centurion. If you recruit a thousand people, you will be a captain."

Selecting young men outside the city?
Stop being funny.

Taking the lead in the selection, these refugees outside the city are young and strong, and all of them were originally good people, but no one knows their current situation.

There is no way to choose.

He just wanted to take this opportunity to raise three thousand soldiers.

In a chaotic situation, only weapons can give people a sense of security.

Hearing this, Wang Zhang and others showed surprise at first, and then, only ecstasy remained on their faces.

If you really feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow.

Before, they thought that one hundred pieces of armor was not enough. Now that the Wei army has directly integrated them, will there still be a shortage of weapons and armor?

Wang Zhang stood up immediately and said: "Ming Gong is willing to take us in during the chaos, and we will swear to serve Ming Gong to the death."

Wang Zhang himself is also powerful and has a relatively high vision.

Ji Cheng's real purpose of recruiting soldiers has been guessed by him.

"Good good!"

Seeing Wang Zhang so eye-catching, the smile on Ji Cheng's face was bright.

"You are the first lieutenant of this refugee army."

Hearing this, Wang Zhang was even more impressed.

"Thank you Ming Gong!"

When the others saw this, their eyes had different expressions, but they still complimented Ji Cheng in a decent manner:
"We are also willing to die for Duke Ming!"

"I will go up to the sword and go down to the sea of ​​fire for my lordship, no matter what!"

"I have been wandering for half my life, and I would like to worship Mr. Ming as my adoptive father!"

The next few people who expressed their opinions were not appointed by Ji Cheng.

Especially the one who worshiped his adoptive father made his face darken a lot.

The story of Lu Bu is not far behind. How dare he accept his adopted son?
Furthermore, are these refugees worthy of being his adopted sons?
After rewarding everyone with armor, weapons, cloth, money and food, Jicheng asked them to recruit young refugees.

In just one day, Wang Zhang recruited more than a thousand young refugees.

Half of them were refugees who had followed him before, and the rest, under the temptation of the establishment, threw themselves into Wang Zhang's tent.

In just one day, the three thousand troops were full.

There were even more than a thousand people.

Jicheng came to the "military camp" outside the city.

But it is said to be a military camp, and there are no military camp facilities, only a few tents.

Ji Cheng's entourage consisted of hundreds of people, all of whom were well-armored. At first glance, they were not easy to deal with.

They were carrying grain, grass and cloth, and what they revealed inadvertently made the young refugees' eyes light up.

"The strength of our army is only three thousand, but you have more than four thousand. We are well trained. More than a thousand of them will be eliminated. Don't make the mistake of yourself. These grains, grass, cloth and silk are to reward those who can stay in the army. Yes, everyone will be rewarded with a piece of grain and a piece of cloth!"

Wang Zhang, who was wearing Qu Wei's armor, stepped forward and said to Ji Cheng: "Thank you very much, Duke Ming for your generous gift. We will definitely practice well and live up to Duke Ming's trust!"

Ji Cheng's eyes flashed and he nodded slightly.

"After you form an army, you will have a mission soon. Don't lose your life because of your lack of skills."

Wang Zhang said immediately: "We have prepared some wine and food in the tent. The brothers all want to thank Duke Ming for his support and hope that Duke Ming will show his favor."

This Wang Zhang used to be Zuo Fengyi's famous tyrant, so it seems that he is indeed a good man.

Such a flexible and flexible man will achieve success no matter where he is.

"If that's the case, then let's meet him!"

Looking at Wang Zhang's expression of "I want to make progress", Ji Cheng didn't want to chill Wang Zhang's heart, so he immediately walked to the tent first, and Wang Zhang and others followed closely behind him. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he directly pushed Ji Cheng into the tent. The tribesmen stayed outside the tent
