Chapter 261 7.17 Soldiers Arrive in the Capital to Calm Chaos Arrangements
Chapter 7 I forged the soul of Han in the Three Kingdoms
7.17 Troops arrive in the capital and make arrangements to quell the chaos

If your plan goes wrong, you will have to pay the price.

Deng Feng didn't remember the exact time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, but according to his estimation, it would be around the middle of the year anyway.

According to the plan, when he and Xiao Longnu completed pregnancy preparations and successfully conceived, there should be a buffer period of about half a year, just in time for the fetus to stabilize and arrange follow-up protection.

Unfortunately, the actual time of this uprising was obviously too early. Xiao Longnu was only a little over two months pregnant, which was the most dangerous time. But under the current situation, Deng Feng had nothing to do, and he could not change. Come out with a master.

As for keeping Xiao Zhao or Xiao Fox, it is not possible. The main reason is that the front line also needs experts. Zhang Jiao started his career by pretending to be a ghost. This aspect is definitely indispensable. If he cannot prevent it at the first time, taking a step back may lead to an abyss.

The only good news is that with Xiao Longnu's current level of cultivation, no one in this world should be able to really hurt her. In fact, everyone is worried about the same problem, which is how to ensure the absolute safety of the child.

After the army set off, the overall itinerary was in line with the plan, and there were no surprises. The most surprising thing was that there were 3600 elite cavalry in the capital. They regarded the mounted infantry and crossbowmen as cavalry.

It was a very shocking thing to see more than 4500 war horses in front of them at the same time, because they just habitually exaggerated the problem and deliberately raised the requirements, but they did not expect that anyone would actually achieve it.

"General Deng Feng, meet the general!" At the residence of General He Jin, Deng Feng paid homage to He Jin in a very formal manner according to the standard etiquette of junior officers.

Nominally, the general is the general in charge of the world's troops, and he is also the person in charge of quelling the rebellion appointed by the emperor during the Yellow Turban Uprising. As a local army member who was ordered to join King Qin in Beijing, Deng Feng had to report to him no matter what.What's more, Deng Feng is still his person in private.

"Haha, Zifeng is worthy of the title of 'knowing soldiers, being good at training soldiers, and being able to use them'. So far, you are the only one who has arrived in the capital." He Jin was very satisfied with Deng Feng's performance, especially this One of my own, "Tell me, do you still have any difficulties?"

"Back to the general, in order to arrive on time, the general brought all the cavalry with him, and relied on local support along the way. Now that we have arrived in the capital, I am afraid we have to rely on the court for logistical supplies for the time being." Deng Feng simply explained his difficulties, This is also true.

"Haha, there are only less than 5000 soldiers and horses, but the imperial court can still afford them. Two armies have been dispatched, and the camp is empty. You can bring people to settle in. I will order the supplies to be distributed according to the standard configuration of [-] cavalry. "He Jin waved his hand very generously.

"Thank you, General!" Deng Feng quickly knelt down to express his thanks.

"As long as you suppress thieves well, rewards are a matter of course." He Jin's performance so far has been very impressive. "I'm going to court tomorrow, and you happen to be attending.

Think carefully about what you should and shouldn't say today. It's best to have a reasonable strategy to suppress thieves. You are the only foreign army entering Beijing so far, so His Majesty will definitely ask. "

"Thank you, General, for your advice." Deng Feng was really grateful to He Jin for this reminder. Although he had already considered the relevant issues, He Jin was so active and it seemed that he really regarded him as one of his own. One point is very important.

Of course, when meeting the boss, one cannot just talk about work issues and then chat over a cup of tea. He Jincai finally served the guests tea.

That night, in the Queen's palace, after a long chant, everything finally returned to calm.

"You bitch, you don't know how to come and see me." Queen He, who was very satisfied with everything, said in a very stiff tone.

"Your Majesty is aware that the last general is a foreign minister and cannot enter the capital unless ordered to do so." Deng Feng said in an official tone.

"Oh? What about now?"

"The general will lead troops to Beijing according to the order."

"Hmph!" Queen He turned over and sat astride Deng Feng, "You have passed the test. You must perform well this time to suppress the bandits. I cannot do without your benefits."

"Mother, I'm afraid it's not that simple for the Taiping Dao rebels this time." Deng Feng deliberately mentioned this aspect, mainly to light the fire.

"They are just those unfed hungry wolves from the Yuan family." Empress He's intelligence source was obviously more prominent than Deng Feng's. "All the means to capture the Zhang brothers had been arranged. It was the Yuan family who deliberately leaked the information and let them go. Take them away."

"That's no wonder!" Deng Feng "suddenly realized", "Although the Taiping Road bandits this time are mainly ordinary people, the core elite soldiers are all well-equipped, at least not weaker than ordinary county soldiers.

And these seem to have been trained. With such a huge consumption, I have always wondered how to supplement them. If the Yuan family takes action, it would be understandable.However, if they relied solely on the Yuan family, they might not be willing to invest such a large amount of money. "

"There are just hungry wolves on the left and right, so don't worry about it." Queen He was quite impatient, or she was so angry with these aristocratic families that she didn't want to mention it anymore, "I'm afraid it will take a long time for you to put down the rebellion this time. Bar?"

"It's hard to say. Although they are ordinary people with only wooden guns and farm tools in their hands, there are still tens of millions of people. I'm afraid they won't be able to pacify them in a short time." Even according to real history, the Yellow Turban Army fought for nearly a year. .

"Then behave well—" Empress He obviously made a pun, and adjusted her posture while speaking.

"The last will obey!"

Early the next morning, hundreds of officials went to court in the palace hall of the capital.First some standard etiquette, then a bunch of meaningless trivia, the topic finally came to the eradication of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Your Majesty, General Zhenwei Zhonglang and Shangdang Governor Deng Feng are the first to lead troops to the capital Qinwang. Governor Deng has been guarding the north for many years and has many interactions with the Qiang and Hus. He has rich experience. I think your Majesty might as well ask ." A eunuch official suddenly opened his mouth and brought the topic to Deng Feng.

"Your Majesty, I don't think a border prefect can know much." A young-looking man objected.Regardless of his appearance and temperament, he seemed to be from a high family, but for some unknown reason, his face looked sinister no matter how he looked at it.

"Oh? What do Prefect Deng think?" Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty asked with an interested expression.

"Your Majesty, I would like to report that a general who does not know astronomy, geography, and human feelings and uses weapons rashly is a mediocre person." Deng Feng first said something about the art of war, which made the young man's face change with anger, because this was obviously Ironically, he speaks indiscriminately without knowing anything.

"I wonder what Taishou Deng has to say?" the Yinwu young man said in a cold tone.

"Who are you?" Deng Feng asked disdainfully.

"I'm Yuan Shu, yes."

"It turns out that he is a descendant of the Runan Yuan family of the 'Fourth Generation and Three Dukes'. It's a pity that he has such a good background." As soon as Yuan Shu said his name, Deng Feng immediately knew why he didn't like her.

This time the Yellow Turban Uprising, to put it bluntly, was that the oppression from the upper class was so severe that the people at the bottom could no longer survive.

The so-called "oppression from above" is ultimately caused by the major families who only care about their own interests and fail to care about the people of the world. On the contrary, the main problem on the court's part is inaction, or in other words, the inability to act even if it wants to.

However, the historical positioning of the Yellow Turban Uprising was that it "shaked the foundation of the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty", but it actually had no substantial impact on the family.

Based on yesterday's exchange with Queen He, Deng Feng understood that these aristocratic families wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail the imperial court for greater benefits, while the imperial court was eager to put down the rebellion and restore order.

Deng Feng was so active in going to Beijing to serve the king, obviously because he wanted to suppress the Yellow Turban Army. No matter what the purpose was, it was against the interests of the family.As the representative of the aristocratic family in the court, the Runan Yuan family will definitely show their own attitude, or the attitude of the aristocratic family.

"Tell me, Prefect Deng." The person who spoke this time was Zhang Rang, who was standing in front of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. He completely ignored Yuan Shu, whose face was livid with anger and wanted to refute. Zhang Rang's attitude was actually that of Han Ling. Lingdi's attitude.

"The Yellow Turban Army is said to be an army. In fact, except for a small number of core elites, the vast majority of the rest are farmers who have just put down their hoes. These people have just started to cause trouble, and they will definitely not escape three characteristics." Deng Feng was sure at this time. Be serious about your performance.

"Deng Aiqing might as well say it straight." Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said with interest, and even changed his title. "First of all, the morale is high. The rebels at this time are all old believers of Xinyang Taiping Demon Dao for many years. After the incident, there was no defense in various places, so they fought many victorious battles.

The so-called victory without pride and defeat without discouragement, these people can't do it at all. At this time, they must have an attitude of being the second child of the world. "Deng Feng pointed out the state of the rebel army.

"It makes sense!"

"It must be so!"

There was a sound of approval among the officials, making Yuan Shu's expression even worse.

"Prefect Deng continued," Zhang Rang said with a smile on his face.

"The second is mental confusion. These people were just a group of farmers not long ago, and now they have become so-called rebels in the blink of an eye. It is difficult to change their minds in a short period of time.

Especially when facing bloody battles on the battlefield, they often appear fearless on the surface but extremely panicked on the inside.Once they are defeated, they will often find ways to vent their panic, typically to face former rich people."

Deng Feng looked at Yuan Shu indifferently, "Master Yuan, you must be so agitated because there are not many wealthy families left in the areas that have been recently invaded.

Among them, Nanyang is the hardest hit area by the Yellow Turban thieves, and it is very close to Runan. After the bandits swept away, the losses to your Yuan family must have been too great, right? "

"You——" Yuan Shu held it in for a long time but didn't say a word, because Deng Feng's inference was completely correct.

This young master obviously hasn't learned how cunning and cunning the head of the Yuan family is, Yuan Wei, and he can't hide anything on his face.Naturally, there was another "buzzing" in the court hall, and it was not until Zhang Rang whipped the whip twice that the scene became quiet.

"In the end, there was internal chaos and no order at all. In a short period of time, they blindly expanded and threatened the people, so that they quickly reached a huge number, but there was no training at all, and no one really knew how to manage, let alone Military order.

Such a so-called army can survive a smooth battle, but it may collapse at the slightest setback. "Deng Feng pointed out the biggest problem of the peasant uprising in feudal society.

"Okay! Now that Deng Aiqing has awakened, do you have any suggestions for countering the rebellion?" Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was already beaming with joy.

"It's difficult to say it's difficult, but it's really easy to say it's simple. Organize an absolutely powerful army and knock down the most powerful Yellow Turban bandit with a thunderbolt. The rest of the counter-insurgency work is basically It’s a matter of time.”

The momentum of Deng Feng's suggestions was also based on real history. Since all three Zhang Jiao brothers were killed in a short period of time, the massive Yellow Turban Uprising lasted less than a year and ended.

"Okay, very good!" Han Lingdi's expression was obviously relaxed, "Since Deng Aiqing is so sure, he must have his own ideas, right?"

"No matter which adult leads the army, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" Deng Feng bowed and made a statement on the spot.

"Haha, the soldiers dared to fight like this, why worry about the Yellow Turban injustice!" Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty laughed, but he did not accept Deng Feng's "forward" suggestion, but continued to arrange the counter-rebellion according to the plan in real history.

After that, Deng Feng's cavalry troops were placed in the existing military camps, but they never received the order to set off.

Deng Feng didn't take it seriously. On the one hand, General He Jin kept his promise and distributed supplies in full according to the standard of 5000 cavalry. Although Zhao Feng's supply camp arrived late, it did not affect daily maintenance training.

In particular, the original infantry and crossbowmen who "pretended" to be cavalry spent more time practicing fighting on the spot.

After Zhao Feng's supplies arrived, Deng Feng specially added a lot of money to ensure nutritious food and took the opportunity to increase the intensity of training, effectively ensuring the improvement of combat effectiveness.

During this period, for safety reasons, Deng Feng specially transferred 30 wheeled crossbows from Shangdang's hometown and placed them in the military camp to prevent accidents.

Of course, Deng Feng did not forget to go to the Queen's palace every now and then to "serve" her. Although Queen He's influence on the court was still very limited, she could contact He Jin.With her repeated support, Deng Feng is now fully recognized by He Jin.

Exactly more than a month later, time entered April of the seventh year of light, and things finally took a turn for the better.

"Zifeng, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song are two old losers who are not doing well in the battle. They are surrounded by yellow scarf thieves in Changsha. You should go to the rescue as quickly as possible." At the general's house, He Jin said that when he was defeated, he did not No tension or concern.

"Does the general have any other explanation?" Deng Feng decided to ask more, what if He Jin wanted to kill these two people?
"We must win, and we must win beautifully, so that those blind things can take a good look." He Jin's tone suddenly became gloomy, and he didn't have any bad thoughts.

"Yes, General!" Deng Feng cupped his fists and accepted the order.

Deng Feng led such a tyrannical cavalry, and under the critical situation everywhere, he stayed in the capital for more than a month in embarrassment to train troops. If there is no problem here, a fool would not believe it.

However, Deng Feng didn't care. He just took the opportunity to strengthen training for his troops. He was not from this era. He never believed that a few farmers could be given weapons and trained a little to become a strong army. He also believed in a famous saying in real society. , "Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime."

Since He Jin mentioned Changshe, Deng Feng immediately thought of the famous battle in the original work.Therefore, I specially brought the wheeled bed crossbow and the fire attack powder bag, and then launched a fire attack surprise at night to solve the immediate battle at once.

Changshe is not far from the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the "not far" here is based on the standards of real society. In this era, 500 miles away is not within easy reach, even by the standards of Deng Feng's entire cavalry. It also took a full 7 days to arrive.

It's not that it can't be faster, with the speed of the horse, it's not difficult to arrive in four days. The problem is that the consumption of the horse is too great, and Deng Feng is not willing to be so prodigal.

Anyway, historically the Battle of Changshe took place at least in early May, and now it is only late April, so there is plenty of time.

Supplies are easy to say. Anyway, Deng Feng's war horses have enough backup. They have prepared dry food, dried meat and other things with the army in advance. On the one hand, they need to carry an appropriate amount of soybeans with them, and on the other hand, the counties they pass by are responsible for them.

But if this happens, I'm afraid there will be a bunch of impeachment memorials.

"Wenyuan, what's going on?" Deng Feng asked Zhang Liao, the person in charge of the investigation, about 30 miles outside the Yellow Turban Army camp in Changshe.

"These bandits don't know how to march and fight at all." Zhang Liao curled his lips disdainfully, "The camp guards are guarding the entrance. The surrounding area is less than five miles away. Our people easily eliminated them. There is currently no substantial defense in the camp. If you follow the plan, you won’t be defeated.”

"Have Master Zhu and Master Huangfu been contacted?"

"The two adults don't trust our communication, but agreed to flank the Yellow Turban Army depending on the situation." Speaking of this, Zhang Liao's expression was not very good-looking.

"It's understandable. We don't know each other at all. Who knows if it's the bait thrown by the Yellow Turban Army?" Deng Feng didn't take it seriously. "As long as the fire breaks out, I believe those two are not fools - Gongtai, are the fire starters ready?"

"The 300 fire attack powder packs are all loaded with fuses, so these yellow scarf thieves will definitely have a good time." Chen Gong replied with a big smile.

"Very good, Mingyuan, I'll leave the Yellow Turban's perimeter security to you."

"Lord, don't worry!" Shi A personally set off with his elite soldiers.
