Chapter 7 I forged the soul of Han in the Three Kingdoms
7.16 Yellow Turban outbreak, Dragon Girl is pregnant

In the seventh year of Guanghe, AD 184, on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival, or the Lantern Festival as it was called in this era, had just passed, and most people were still immersed in the festival. In joy.

"Lord, you can't be so hasty in training!" Chen Gong couldn't help but advise as he looked at the county soldiers who were still training enthusiastically in the cold north wind.

"Gongtai, time waits for no one!" Deng Feng said with a wry smile.He did not remember the specific time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, but he also knew that it was the first year of Zhongping, or the seventh year of Guanghe!
"Lord, why are you so anxious?" Chen Gong still didn't understand.

"Have you seen the intelligence summary of the public broadcaster in the past few months? Have you paid attention to a religious organization called Taiping Dao?" Deng Feng could only use another method to "predict the situation".

"It's just a folk religious organization. There are so many such organizations in the world. What worries my lord?" Chen Gong, as a scholar, has always looked down on the magicians.

"The leader of Taiping Dao is Zhang Jiao, who is known as the 'Great Virtuous Teacher'. He has been preaching for more than ten years, and now has hundreds of thousands of followers. The world is divided into 36 parties. The leader of each party is Qu Shuai. The bigger Qu Shuai It can even mobilize thousands of people at any time and control tens of thousands of people!

Zhang Jiao also likes to preach everywhere, apply talisman water and cure diseases, and many people believe in him.In prosperous places like Youzhou, Jizhou and Nanyang County, Taipingdao is extremely powerful. Does Gongtai still think it's okay? "Deng Feng continued to be "prescient".

"Ah—" Chen Gong had an unbelievable look on his face, "Since my lord knows this, why didn't you report it first and let the court deal with it in a timely manner."

"Well -" Deng Feng showed an awkward but polite smile at the right time, "I think the public should still remember how I got this official position, right?"

"What's the problem? With my lord's ability - no, it's not!" Chen Gong was shocked. "My lord, you mean that Zhang Jiao is also the one who castrated the dog?"

"It's not such an exaggeration. What I mean is that Zhang Jiao sent people to give Zhang Rang more money than I did, and he not only gave it to Zhang Rang, but also to several others."

Deng Feng explained with a "wry smile", "If I report it, you can imagine the effect for yourself, not to mention offending my nominal 'benefactor', which is not worth it anyway!"

"That's why my lord is so impatient and wants to build a strong army?" Zhang Liao, who didn't know when he came over, asked.

"More than that. I remember saying that our family is all practitioners?" Deng Feng turned the topic in another direction.

"My lord has mentioned it." Chen Gong's expression clearly showed the attitude of "I don't believe it." "My lord, is he saying that this Zhang Jiao is also a cultivator?"

"How is your practice? Can you still defeat the imperial court's thousands of troops?" Zhang Liao also didn't take it seriously.

"Zhang Jiao is not alone. He has more than 50 followers in his hands. What do you think when the time comes to cooperate with his spells?" Deng Feng asked with a smile, not forgetting to take out an old-fashioned bronze talisman in his hand. , "Like this."

The bronze talisman was accurately thrown into the middle of a row of old barracks. These barracks were originally planned to be demolished and rebuilt. The current county military camp has been expanded more than five times than before. These old buildings have long been decommissioned and are just used for props.

"Boom -" A huge roar silenced the whole place, and three rows of 10 barracks each collapsed in a huge fireball.
Like meaningless garbage, it was blown everywhere by the powerful impact, and some of the debris even flew into the military formation, causing all the sergeants to panic.

"Lord, you-" Everyone was frightened and looked at Deng Feng completely at a loss.

"This is a copper talisman, and it's an old-fashioned version. I don't have 100, but I have 80. The new copper talisman I commonly use now is at least three times as powerful as this one. If it were an iron talisman, it would be more than ten times as powerful as before. .”

Deng Feng was not bragging, he did have this thing, "I dare not say what Zhang Jiao's cultivation level is, but as long as he has half the power of me just now, if he comes like this in a large army battle, can you imagine?" What's the result?"

Chen Gong and Zhang Liao's faces turned pale with fright.

"By the way, our family's cultivation level is not too high. At least there are three people I know whose cultivation level is not lower than ours." Deng Feng deliberately left a nail here.

"Zhang Jiao seems to be taught by one of them named Nan Hua Lao Xian. He is only a registered disciple. The other two are Yu Ji and Zuo Ci. These three are the real masters."

"Lord, our people." Chen Gong pointed to the soldiers who were all frightened and knelt down to Deng Feng. "Lord, can you explain?"

"Take these and explain to them. We just demolished those old barracks and gave everyone a demonstration to prepare everyone." Deng Feng didn't intend to explain himself, and handed two copper coins to Chen Gong and Zhang Liao each. symbol.

"You also have zhenqi, right? Use zhenqi infusion to activate it, and just throw it out when the copper talisman turns red."

In this world of "Three Kingdoms" with a high concentration of spiritual energy, all generals are masters of cultivation. Most of the famous military generals have innate cultivation or above, such as Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong and Wang Yue. .

Just because of unknown reasons, the spiritual energy in this world is very violent and does not nourish the body at all. Even if you are not careful, it will cause great harm. It is the same regardless of nature and nurture. That's why Wang Yue, a master who is well-known in the capital, has Hidden injury, life will not be long.

Even civil servants, in fact, most of them have quite good cultivation. For example, Chen Gong is also a half-step innate master. In the world of "Heroes", he is also at the level of a leader. Once here, he can just practice casually. .

Speaking of cultivation, Deng Feng thought of his own family, and his expression became helpless again.

In the past year or so, except for the little fox, the Deng Feng family's magic cultivation level has not improved much, but they have become more stable in the golden elixir realm.

The amount of mana increased a lot, but it was just like that. Deng Feng was not at ease at all anyway.

The little fox, on the other hand, had made a breakthrough years ago and was now at the peak of the three-tailed realm, but could not break through to the four-tailed level. Now he could only stabilize his cultivation and make no further progress.

Only in terms of physical training, Deng Feng and the three girls are now at the thirteenth level of the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu". This technique has officially come to an end. Everyone's body strength has reached a terrifying 27000 kilograms, and the real human form is violent. dragon!
Moreover, Deng Feng now has a feeling that if he cannot solve the Three Immortals of the Late Han Dynasty, the Deng family will not make any progress in this world of high martial arts "Three Kingdoms", and it will be useless even until death.

The only thing that Deng Feng could not confirm now was the cultivation level of the three enemies.

The Yellow Turban Uprising that broke out this year can be used as a reference, because Zhang Jiao happened to practice the "Essential Art of Peace" taught by the old immortal Nanhua. Even if his level is not good, he can still see the methods.

Shortly after receiving the imperial edict of awarding him two years ago, Deng Feng officially taught the first level of "Dragon and Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" to all his subordinates, namely Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Zhao Feng, and Shi A. Originally, it also included Wang Yue.

As a result, he found out helplessly that his body could no longer support his practice.

The most fundamental reason why Deng Feng did this was to improve the combat effectiveness of his men and to have enough men to serve as shields when necessary, but the effect was obviously not that simple.

After these people obtained the exercises and confirmed that the practice was effective, they collectively knelt down to Deng Feng at the Spring Festival banquet and swore lifelong loyalty to Deng Feng.

During this period, there were more and more news about Taiping Road in the intelligence, and it became more and more serious. Deng Feng was anxious and took advantage of the beginning of spring to get a group of cattle and sheep from the grassland to ensure that everyone had a meal every three days. If you eat meat, you will see meat and fish smell every day.

At the same time, the training intensity was greatly increased to ensure the formation of an army as quickly as possible.

After more than a month, although these newly recruited sergeants are far worse than the veterans, they can be considered to have initially formed combat effectiveness.

Deng Feng specially dispersed the personnel for this purpose, allowing each department to lead the new with the old, so as to ensure the best possible use of combat effectiveness.

No matter what, life has to go on, and in the midst of the busyness, the time has arrived in February of the seventh year of Guanghe.

"Report—general, urgent report from the capital!" The eight hundred miles urgent report from the capital officially arrived at the Shangdang Prefect's Mansion. "Lord, what is going on?" Chen Gong happened to be reporting at the Prefect's Mansion. Seeing Deng Feng's increasingly gloomy expression, he asked with some uncertainty.

"Zhang Jiao rebelled!" Deng Feng sighed. He knew that the Yellow Turban Uprising was this year, but he didn't expect it to be so early. "It was about half a month ago.

A Taiping Dao disciple named Tang Zhou, who was said to be a disciple of Zhang Jiao, reported to the court that Zhang Jiao was planning to launch a uprising among the Taiping Dao disciples in March.

Ma Yuanyi, the internal leader of the capital, was also revealed. The slogan at that time was "The sky is dead, Huang Tiandang is standing, the age of Jiazi will be good for the world."

Originally, the imperial court broke up Ma Yuanyi's car, planned to keep it a secret, and then raided the three Zhang Jiao brothers, leaving the group of thieves leaderless. Even if they wanted to pacify them, the difficulty would be much reduced.

Unexpectedly, the secret was not kept. Zhang Jiao knew about Tang Zhou's informant and chose to launch an early attack. Just a few days ago, the world was shocked. "

"How come we don't know?" Chen Gong asked in confusion as he put down the emergency report, not knowing whether he was stunned by the news.

"How many times have we raided Shangdang in the past two years? Even the larger gangs have not been left behind. Taipingdao has no foundation here at all, so it was not moved this time.

But Jizhou, Youzhou and Nanyang are now in chaos. These areas happen to be around the capital, so that there are now three shocks in the capital every day. "Deng Feng was very disdainful of the court's response.

Such big information related to the Taiping Dao Incident was leaked very easily.

Considering that the foundation of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was completely destroyed after the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the influence and strength of the aristocratic family further expanded, according to the reverse derivation practice of "whoever wins in the end is the biggest suspect", if there is no shadow of the aristocratic family, it is simply It's an insult to intelligence.

"So, the imperial court ordered us to complete preparations within three days, report to the capital within ten days, and consolidate our forces to put down the rebellion?" Chen Gong really couldn't understand the brain circuits of the group of pigs in the court.

"Let's not talk about the army going out. We can't complete the preparations in three days. Even if we set off regardless of the cost, we don't have to go to the capital anymore, right? How about just marching directly to the place where reinforcements are most needed?"

"Who knows? What we have to do is to set off as soon as possible. Fortunately, in the past six months, I have been preparing for war. Three days is still enough. We will talk about the rest when we get to the capital." Deng Feng was speechless at such an order.

The late Eastern Han Dynasty was not like real society. All armies were ready for war 24 hours a day. They could set off immediately if necessary, and subsequent supplies could be airlifted and dropped directly.

For the troops to set off these days, just preparing supplies cannot be solved in three to five days. The above number of party and county soldiers can set off within half a month because they are well-trained.

It is indeed not far from Shangdang to the east of the capital. At the level of this era, it will definitely take less than a week for the cavalry to arrive, three days is enough, but the infantry will not march more than 50 miles a day, even for the most elite troops. , it would take a forced march to get there in 10 days.

"My lord, what do you mean, we still only need cavalry?" Chen Gong said hesitantly, "This Taiping Dao uprising, the number of people may not reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. We only have three thousand cavalry, which will be a drop in the bucket on the battlefield! "

"It's not three thousand, it's two thousand four hundred." Deng Feng was also helpless. The total force still couldn't keep up. "At that time, there will be [-] cavalry left to look after the house. Otherwise, who can guarantee that we will lead the troops to leave and merge with the state?" The Taiping Road doesn’t know how to take action!”

"What about other arrangements?" Chen Gong also understood what Deng Feng meant.

"Only half of the infantry and crossbowmen, that is, a total of 1200 people; the main purpose of sending troops this time is to quell the rebellion. There should be no siege warfare, so all the engineering soldiers will be left, and half of the crossbowmen will be left in the county. Others are distributed to subordinate counties.

Half of the remaining infantry was stationed in the county, and the remaining half cooperated with the 600 cavalry as a mobile force just in case. "Deng Feng is not too relieved about this, but there is nothing he can do.

"In this case, it will be difficult for the infantry to keep up with the cavalry, and we may not be able to reach the capital within the specified time." Chen Gong realized another problem.

"It's not just them. I plan to bring half of the medical soldiers to the combat troops, that is, a total of 30, and leave it to Feng Yatou. All starting troops will be equipped with war horses. When necessary, all except the medical soldiers will be used as cavalry." Deng Fengzhen He got angry.

In these years of training, equestrian training has been one of the basic subjects for all arms. However, except for cavalry, the requirements for equestrian skills for other arms are mainly proficient control and long-distance maneuvering.

It was only this month that some basic cavalry combat subjects were added to them, but the effect can only be said to be better than nothing.

It’s just that the targets of this battle are mainly the Taiping Dao rebels. Their fighting quality can only be described as garbage, otherwise they would not be dispersed like in history, where tens of millions of people persisted for less than a year.

The remaining troops can only make trouble, but they are gradually eliminated on the territory of each warlord. To deal with such enemies, even the basic level of cavalry is enough.

"In this case, the supplies may not be able to keep up." Chen Gong said with a frown. Zhao Feng's heavy supply camp would not be able to keep up with the cavalry with carriages, no matter how good the carriages were.

"It doesn't matter, just let them catch up slowly. It's hard to say anything else in the capital. There is still no shortage of sufficient supplies. We have nearly 4000 elite cavalry. It shouldn't be difficult to get supplies." Deng Feng also considered this aspect.

"I will ask everyone to bring five days' supplies, and the war horses will have to go to the county town passing by to fight in the autumn wind."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle." Chen Gong's understanding of the following county is far better than Deng Feng's.

"Tell them directly when the time comes. Either they will provide supplies, or I will go to the city to get them myself." Deng Feng understood the urinary nature of civil servants very well.

Just like in the late Ming Dynasty, he forced his troops to fight on an empty stomach and waited until the Tatars came to cut their hair and leave braids.

"In that case, Gong has nothing to say." Chen Gong nodded and understood what Deng Feng meant, "What about the personnel allocation?"

"You are still the military advisor. Bring Wen Yuan, Han Sheng, Hong Lin, and Mingyuan with you. Zi Ming will follow behind to ensure the logistics, and the housekeeping will be left to Ling Yatou." With Xiao Zhao's performance on the front line, Deng Feng is now responsible for the family. Things are no longer hidden.

"If Mrs. Cheng comes forward in person, the palace will have nothing to say." Cheng Lingsu is now the absolute manager of the Deng family, and even Deng Feng has to listen to her arrangements on many matters. "It's just that if this happens, there will be no one to take care of Madam."

"Leave this to me, and you don't have to worry about it." Deng Feng also had a headache about this.

"Gong excuses himself." Chen Gong clasped his fists in salute and went down to prepare for departure.

The backyard of the prefect's mansion.

"Long'er, after I leave this time, you must be careful and take care of yourself. Girl Ling will be very busy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have much time." Deng Feng gently held his lover in his arms and said emotionally.

"Don't worry, husband, we are not ordinary people. Even if this little guy makes trouble, I will definitely add to the Deng family." Xiao Longnu was more relaxed than Deng Feng.

"I didn't hear anything?" Xiao Zhao pressed his ear against Xiao Longnu's belly for a long time, then raised his head helplessly and said, "Sister Ling, are you not mistaken?"

"Stupid girl, it's only been more than two months. It would be strange if you could hear it." Although he knew it was Xiao Zhao who was making the mistake, Cheng Lingsu still gave her a silent shock.

Yes, there is one difficulty in Deng Feng's dispatch of troops this time, that is, there are not enough people to stay with Xiao Longnu because she is pregnant!
