Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

……

Entering the house, looking at the middle-aged man who looked faintly old, Qiao Ying had already made her own decision.

"Father, let me go with the angel."

Chapter 2 Reorganizing the Army

"Zhang... Qu Shuai, do we have to dress like this?"

Near a small hill in Taiyuan County, thousands of soldiers wearing elite leather armor and steel knives across their waists are lined up in several columns, winding forward along a mountain path.

In the middle of the team, several senior soldiers in battle robes were playing with a bright yellow square scarf in their hands, looking at the snow-white figure not far away with a little helplessness in their eyes.

Zhang Yan didn't wear his white robe this time, but he still rode the white horse, which was particularly eye-catching in the dense crowd.

Wrapping the yellow scarf around his head, a general in the army couldn't help asking Zhang Yan.

"Anyway, we are also officers and soldiers, right? If my father finds out that I have become a Yellow Turban Bandit, he will definitely beat me with a pole."

It's no wonder that the general thought too much, but after Zhang Yan led them all the way from Luoyang to the vicinity of Taiyuan County, he didn't order them to attack the camp of Baibo Yellow Turban immediately. Instead, he took out the yellow scarf that he had prepared in advance. Head scarves, each of them gave them a piece.

"Don't worry, let the soldiers under your command wrap their headscarves around, and don't take them off if you have nothing to do. One or two seem to be really thieves, can't they behave more naturally?"

Waving his hand, Zhang Yan, who was wearing a black leather armor with a layer of plate armor on the outside, said nonchalantly, his words were full of confidence.

"Bandits are rampant in Taiyuan County right now. There are probably tens of thousands of bandits in the Yellow Turbans and all kinds of mess. If we directly clash with them as soon as we go, then the whole of Taiyuan, and even Hedong will know about the big man." The imperial court sent a team of thousands of men to exterminate them."

"Maybe we can take down all the Yellow Turban forces in Taiyuan, but if the bandit leader Guo Tai gets the news and lets Chen Liurunan not fight, and brings tens of thousands of people back to fight us, will you be able to bear it then? Can I handle it?"

Seems to be in a good mood, Zhang Yan didn't put on an expression of "you don't understand, just listen to it" just because the other party is just a small general, but explained to the other party carefully.

Recently, he is keen to instill all kinds of fancy combat skills and unpopular knowledge into these soldiers from 2000 years ago. It seems that he intends to enlighten the group of people under his command.

Therefore, Zhang Yan not only did not feel impatient because of the general's inquiry, but when he talked about the key points, he did not forget to call the middle and low-level generals from the surrounding villages together, intending to give them a good job. class.

"You see, it's definitely not okay to fight directly. But if we wear turbans and pretend to be comrades who have defected from Sili. When we encounter small yellow scarves, we will quietly eat them for training. Pretend not to see."

"As long as we walk a few laps in this area of ​​Taiyuan, don't we know all about the power distribution and general terrain of the Taiyuan Yellow Turbans?"

"At that time, whether to fight, where to fight, how to fight, these things will all be decided by us."

Stretching out his hand for a gesture, Zhang Yan saw that everyone had understood, so he continued to talk to them.

Compared with the previous state, Zhang Yan is much more active now than when he was in Luoyang, whether it is his expression or his actions.Qu Zhang and Tun Jiang, who had been in contact with him when he first took over the soldiers, were even more obvious.

It is probably the difference between "being driven by certain reasons" and "taking the initiative out of one's own ideas".

It can be said that the night before the departure, the changes for Zhang Yan were indeed very huge.Although Ye'er only wanted Zhang Yan to be more emotionally confident in the end, self-confidence was never simply attached to a certain behavior.

Zhang Yan before, although he had a lot of obsession with Xiao Qiao in the Three Kingdoms period, but based on his own inferiority complex as an ordinary person, or the screw of the 21st century, even if he wanted to fight for it, but Always use words to imply yourself in the bottom of my heart.

"It's best if you have it, it doesn't matter if you don't..."

"You're just an ordinary person, it's normal if you don't get it..."

"If it fails..."

……

It can be said that the more persistent Zhang Yan is in his daily behavior, the more he exposes his inner self-confidence.Although he didn't mention it to others, Zhang Yan's thought of "I'm not worthy" has almost taken root in the depths of his mind.

It wasn't until that night that Ye'er broke through this inferiority complex.

The idea of ​​"actively chasing what you want" began to appear in Zhang Yan's mind.

He began to take the initiative to express his emotions to others, instead of always pretending to be indifferent.

He began to take the initiative to help more poor people, instead of just starting to do it when they appeared in front of his eyes.

He began to actively think about how to use his knowledge and system to gain higher status and power, instead of gaining power just out of a mentality of ensuring the existing quality of life.

The word "active" is like a habit. When Zhang Yan consciously became active emotionally and received considerable positive encouragement, he also began to subconsciously become active in other aspects.

Just like now, Zhang Yan intends to do his best to get as many soldiers and generals from the Yellow Turban team as possible during this bandit suppression process. For this reason, he even spent his reputation points to exchange for a book of Yellow Turbans from the system mall. Qu Shuai's map, intending to find suitable generals in Baibo Yellow Turban to include under his command according to the map.

And before that night, he really only planned to come to Taiyuan to upgrade his force value, and he would never think about competing with the heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty, let alone gaining strength for his future in advance.

It can only be said that a suitable emotional experience can bring a man quite strong confidence and change.

……

He explained to the surrounding Qu Chang and the generals why he ordered more than 5000 soldiers to disguise themselves as yellow scarves, and then Zhang Yan told the crowd to disperse, while secretly thinking about his plans for the future.

It has been more than ten days since he set off from Luoyang to reorganize the army. As soon as the [-] veterans from Xiyuan merged with the [-] recruits Zhang Rang recruited for him, he raised all the [-] veterans level one.

They were originally Tuen generals, but now they are all Qu Chang.

It was originally very long, but now it has all become team rates.

It was originally an ordinary soldier, but now they are all assigned four recruits and become an honorable corps leader.

Although this kind of mixed formation can only be used when you go out for an expedition, and when you return to Luoyang, all the veterans will be transferred back to the West Garden for training, but in order to adapt the four thousand recruits to military life as soon as possible, and at the same time make up for their serious lack of grassroots With a shortage of officers, Zhang Yan could only fill his team with veterans as officers.

Although these ordinary soldiers in Xiyuan have no actual experience as officers, through the veterans' way of bringing in new ones, new recruits can be trained in the same way as veterans. On the other hand, these veterans can also try Practice the knowledge that can only be accessed as an army manager.

In this way, after I go to Lujiang in the future, I can immediately have an elite army of 5000 people, not just 1000 veterans plus [-] armed farmers who have no combat effectiveness.

This bandit suppression is the key for Zhang Yan to bring the two teams together.

Chapter 3 Who will be a yellow scarf if he is rich?

In addition to the reorganization of the army, Zhang Yan also took the time to complete the dressing for the five thousand soldiers under him in his spare time.

When Zhang Rang initially recruited these [-] recruits for Zhang Yan, he didn't consider letting Zhang Yan really rely on these people to kill all the yellow scarves in Taiyuan and Hedong. He just planned to use them as meat shields and bait to protect them. It's just for Zhang Yan's safety.

Naturally, he equipped these four thousand recruits with only the most basic weapons and equipment.

After all, in Zhang Rang's view, these four thousand recruits were just simple consumables.If they waited until Zhang Yan returned to Luoyang, or even entrusted to Lujiang, they would be useless, so even if there were a few casualties, it didn't matter.

But unlike Zhang Rang, Zhang Yan knew that in the next few years, the entire land of China would be a mess after the decline of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, in his eyes, these 4000 people are all his future team members, and naturally he should die as little as possible.

In order to save the lives of these soldiers as much as possible, Zhang Yan spent a lot of money to upgrade and replace the equipment of the [-] recruits under his command, and even some veterans from Xiyuan who were not fully equipped.

First is the weapon.

At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, because the first emperor collected all the weapons in the world and cast swords into plows, the army of the Han Dynasty generally used spears or long spears.After the Pan-Eastern Han Dynasty, especially after the emergence of weapons made of pure iron such as the "Huan Shou Dao", the defects of wooden weapons gradually emerged.

If you stab me with a spear, I can block it with the back of my sword.

I slashed over with a knife, and if you block with a wooden spear, you will only be split in half by me with the spear.

Under such overwhelming disadvantages, the official army of the Eastern Han Dynasty naturally all switched to metal knives as weapons.

Seeing that his [-] recruits were all just a wooden spear each, Zhang Yan also changed their outfits at his own expense.

At present, except for the [-] veterans who are using the steel swords uniformly equipped by the army, the [-] recruits have all been replaced by Zhang Yan with cast iron swords.Although the sharpness and toughness are not as good as those of steel knives, fortunately, cast iron is strong, thick and easy to maintain.This kind of treatment is actually much better than that of ordinary local troops.

In addition to weapons, Zhang Yan also made simple upgrades to everyone's armor.

You must know that there has always been a debate among history buffs about whether it was necessary for the ancient army to equip large-scale defensive equipment.

On the one hand, even if equipped with a large number of protective gear, soldiers can easily collapse on the battlefield when the overall battle situation is unfavorable.

Under such circumstances, not only the protective gear cannot become a barrier to protect the soldiers, but it will cause the collapsed army to be unable to retreat quickly due to the increased load, resulting in negative effects.

On the other hand, the price of buying a set of full-body armor is far from being as simple as buying a pure metal weapon.

Take the heyday of the Eastern Han Dynasty as an example, an ordinary material officer, that is, an army soldier, was usually equipped with a full-body leather armor, a chain mail like a vest, and a helmet with metal embedded in it.This whole set will cost at least a dozen catties of iron.

If it was soldiers directly under the emperor, such as the central guards protecting the palace, the upper and lower body chain mail and a metal patch around the waist like a dynamite bag would add up to tens of kilograms.

If there are so many metals available, they can be directly used to build more weapons and equip more soldiers.In this way, on the battlefield, the effect of the numerical advantage of the crowd is likely to be more obvious than simply improving the elite level of a small number of soldiers.

After all, "quantity" is shameful, but useful.

It has to be said that the views of netizens on these two aspects are very reasonable.It's just that Zhang Yan, after considering these two points, thought carefully for a long time, and finally chose to equip all the soldiers under his command with a full set of protective gear.

As for the reason, it's simple.

He has a lot of money, and he doesn't think his 4000 people will be dispersed by the Yellow Turbans.

……

"Report!"

Just as Zhang Yan was secretly comparing the strength gap between the soldiers under his command and the Yellow Turban, the voice of the messenger in front suddenly woke him up.

"Three miles away from the fork in the road ahead, I found a group of remnants of the Yellow Turban advancing towards the east of the river, about a thousand people."

"They...they're going to meet us soon!"

I saw a young soldier galloping from the front row of the team on a gray horse. Before he rushed to Zhang Yan's side, he couldn't help reporting loudly.

"Oh? After traveling for so long, I finally met the real master once."

The corner of his mouth raised an arc, and Zhang Yan clicked on a few guards around him who were temporarily screened out through the system, who were "nearly equal" or even "slightly better" than him, clamped his horse's belly hard, and ran towards the front of the team .

"The whole army speeds up! You guys, accompany me to the front."

The army array winding like a long snake suddenly increased its speed and rushed towards the target not far away.

……

"What? You said there are four or five thousand well-equipped Yellow Turbans heading towards us?"

"Bullshit!"

At the same time, among the crowd of yellow scarves on the opposite side, a middle-aged man in his thirties and 40s was the leader when he heard the news from his scouts, he laughed and cursed and gave the other party a slap on the head, slapping the teenager The little scout couldn't help being a little dazed.

"When I was fighting in all directions with General Tiangong, which one of the 48 yellow scarves in the world have you never seen?"

"Don't say that now General Tiangong died of illness, brothers are all dead, surrendered..."

"Even when hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves gathered in Julu to fight against those gangsters, I have never seen four or five thousand 'well-equipped' yellow scarves!"

The middle-aged man had short and hard beards like steel needles, and his expression was wanton and wild. Instead of wrapping his head like other people, a yellow scarf handkerchief was folded and wrapped around his forehead in a long strip.At first glance, he doesn't look like a yellow scarf general leading an army in battle, but looks like an old farmer with his face facing the loess and his back facing the sky.

"If there are four or five thousand well-equipped yellow scarves, they are still yellow scarves. I'm afraid we have met the regular army of the Han court!"

Laughing, he patted the plate armor nailed with a row of iron sheets on his chest. The middle-aged man held a short-handled broadsword in one hand, and the other hand was stuck on his waist, motioning the scout to take a good look at himself. , Look at the group of yellow turban brothers around you.

There was a burst of good-natured laughter all around.
