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

At this moment, the platform on the top of the base has not been built yet, and things like guardrails have not been installed.Therefore, Wei Xian could only sit down on a corner with a wide view on the edge of the platform, resting like this, while sweeping his eyes over the people in the entire construction site.

Up to now, the construction site in Luoyang is no longer what it was when Zhang Yangang left.At the moment, in the spacious site, at least tens of thousands of strong workers are busy, and among them are many professional stonemasons and jade craftsmen who are doing their best to carve.The whole scene can be said to be full of voices and excitement.

After taking another sip of some warm water, Wei Xian glanced over the edges of the field, the women and children who were helping their husbands and fathers with their work, and couldn't help but smile on their faces.

These people came here voluntarily to help, and they didn't need to pay the same wages as those young and strong, they just had a meal with Wei Xian.

Seeing this group of people behaving positively, Wei Xian was glad that they came to help.

At this time, it was the end of spring. In fact, since a few days ago, some people and Wei Xian gradually proposed to suspend work and go home to farm. Wei Xian naturally understood this very well, but there was really no good solution.

This situation continued until the little eunuch who was the messenger of the Han Dynasty appeared in front of Wei Xian again, and then gradually improved.

……

"What? Is that thing going to be postponed?"

"No! Isn't it just a matter of wages? Let him recruit people to rush to work, and we will figure out the solution!"

On that day, Zhang Rang, who had just come out of Hanling Emperor Liu Hong's dormitory, heard the little eunuch's report, and suddenly became angry. He waved his hand and added a large amount of budget to Wei Xian, who was still worrying about others. .

"If there are not enough people in Luoyang, expand it to the entire Yin of Henan! If there are not enough people in Henan, expand it to the entire Sili!"

After all, he had just boasted to Emperor Han Ling, saying that his adopted son would present a gift to Emperor Han Ling on his birthday.If the time was delayed because of such a trivial matter, although Liu Hong would not blame him, if he wanted to rely on this matter to ask the other party for title in the future, it would be even more difficult!

Zhang Rang, who knew what was more important, almost didn't use his brain, and immediately made the most correct decision for him.

At the same time, a wave of "migrant workers" quickly swept across Henan, and even Sili.

……

"Leader, how is the progress today?"

Just as Wei Xian was scanning the crowd, trying to supervise them not to be lazy, a crisp voice came from behind him, and then he saw a small figure sitting beside him, looking down at the crowd together with him .

It was the little eunuch who was instigated by Zhang Rang and gave him a few extra boxes of money.

"Progress? It's okay..."

It seemed that he was already familiar with the other party, Wei Xian didn't show any surprise, just moved his butt to the side, and continued:

"At present, the most time-consuming and labor-intensive base part has been completed, and the next step is to lay the platform where we are now."

"After that, just find a way to transport the stone sundial carved in advance."

This little eunuch was just acquainted with him some time ago, and he sent him four or five budgets. After the last time he sent money, this person stayed here.Neither help nor trouble.

At the beginning, Wei Xian thought that the other party was someone sent by Zhang Yan to supervise him, but after careful understanding, he realized that behind the other party was Zhang Rang, the powerful Zhong Chang Servant.

It was also from the mouth of this little eunuch that Wei Xian learned that the huge sundial he led the team to build was actually a birthday gift that Zhang Yan planned to present to Hanling Emperor Liu Hong.

Secretly clenching his fists, Wei Xian kept telling himself in his heart that this time he must not fail easily like before.

As of today, he has spent more than 3000 million, nearly 4000 million pieces of silver on this sundial, which has far exceeded the sum of all the funds that Wei Xian spent in the previous failed spectacle.

If he fails again, not to mention whether Zhang Yan will blame him, even he himself will have no face to stand in front of the other party.

"In that case, that's the best."

"Leader, then our family will go back to the palace to find Zhang Changshi to return. If you encounter any difficulties, don't procrastinate, and send someone to find Miss Ye'er as soon as possible, and Miss Ye'er will notify Chang Shi."

"Remember not to miss a major event!"

The little eunuch patted the dust off his body, got up and walked down the steps.

……

The sun gradually deviated towards the west, and soon it was evening.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty still did not go to court today.

"Father, what's the matter? I'm not feeling well today..."

In the palace, a middle-aged man was lying on the bed with a sick look.Beside him, a young court lady in tulle nervously kneaded his shoulders, as if she was very afraid.

Liu Hong is 33 years old this year.

It stands to reason that in the era of relatively poor medical treatment in the Eastern Han Dynasty, people's life expectancy was generally relatively short. He who was over 30 years old and had two children was already qualified to call himself an old man.

But Liu Hong, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, obviously has not experienced the hard work of the people at the bottom in these years. At the age of 33, he still has a fair face, thin skin and tender flesh.

Tightening the dragon robe on his body, Liu Hong only felt that the recent weather was getting colder and colder, and he felt an unspeakable sense of powerlessness all over his body.If it wasn't for Zhang Rang, his extremely trusted servant, looking for him today, he wouldn't even want to step out of the palace gate of the harem.

After a while, a weak voice came out of his mouth.

"If it's a matter of court, let father handle it by yourself."

"I'm so tired..."

……

Hearing this, Zhang Rang frowned, and walked out of the shadow behind Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty, it's not a court affair, but a military report from the front line."

"According to the news from Colonel Sili today, General Bao Hong has led his troops to Chenliu territory and had an encounter with the Yellow Turban bandits."

"If the information is correct, General Bao defeated a bandit team of more than [-] people in this battle and killed more than [-] people. He must have already stationed in Chenliu City by now."

Zhang Kou reported the military information sent back from the front to Hanling Emperor Liu Hong. Zhang Rang glanced at the other party who was huddled on the bed, and at the sunny weather outside the door, and couldn't help thinking.

"The Son of Heaven was in good health when he was young, why has he lost so much energy and blood recently?"

It seemed that Zhang Rang had some bad idea, and Zhang Rang's face became a little gloomy.

……

"Oh? That's really satisfying..."

"Speaking of which, I remember that a few days ago, there seemed to be another team that was sent to Taiyuan to suppress the bandits..."

Chapter 11 Changes

"One-two-one!"

"One-two-one!"

In Taiyuan, accompanied by loud slogans, a neat army is advancing along the rugged mountain road towards the east of the river.Although the young soldiers didn't step forward, the sound of thousands of people stepping at the same time made the mountains rumble.

In front of the army, a middle-aged general in his 40s and [-]s was wearing a yellow scarf around his head and riding a handsome white horse. It was Pei Yuanshao, the former yellow scarf general who had served Zhang Yan for more than a month.

"One-two-one!"

The loud slogans did not sound all the time, but whenever the team's footsteps were chaotic, a few team leaders who were responsible for controlling the rhythm took the lead in shouting.After the team's pace returned to order and the rhythm was consistent, they stopped making any noise.

Walking right in front of the team, Pei Yuanshao's body was no longer the heavy plate armor like an iron barrel, but was replaced by a thin chain mail lined with a leather jacket, and the yellow scarf soldiers beside him They also have more or less changes in their clothes.

Counting from the day when Zhang Yan successfully persuaded Pei Yuanshao to surrender, they had been wandering around the land of Taiyuan for more than a month.Now the whole of Taiyuan, and even the nearby Henan and Hedong Yellow Turbans already know that there is such a group of colleagues who do not play cards according to the routine not far from him, who eat when they see people, and run away after eating.

For a month, the whole team has been snowballing like this, and until today, there are more than 2000 yellow scarves who have been newly gathered after arriving in Taiyuan just by Pei Yuanshao's side.

In addition to the 7000 soldiers who had followed Zhang Yan when he set off from Luoyang, Zhang Yan had gathered more than [-] armed forces at this moment.

Sighing slightly, Pei Yuanshao turned around to look at the more than 2000 young and strong men who followed him, and then thought of how dilapidated he was when he was with more than 1000 people, he couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed.

In today's Taiyuan territory, there are almost no established yellow scarves, and even bandits and bandits have been wiped out by Zhang Yan and others.Now Pei Yuanshao's chain mail was taken off from the leader of a group of bandits in Wo Niu Mountain.

In addition to the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Jinyang City, which is guarding the seat of Taiyuan County, it can be said that the towns and villages around Taiyuan have fallen into a state where there is no bandit to suppress.

In order to continue the training and at the same time adjust the cooperation between old and new soldiers, Zhang Yan has decided that everyone will leave Taiyuan immediately and enter the territory of Hedong.

And such a large-scale army marched from Taiyuan to Hedong, which naturally attracted the attention of countless surrounding forces.

If they hadn't been under the banner of the Yellow Turbans in Taiyuan, they would have obeyed the orders of Baibo and the Yellow Turbans in name, and Mrs. Guo would have led the main Yellow Turbans back to help immediately.

At the rear of the team, a troop of hundreds of people hurried forward under the leadership of the newly promoted Chief Qu. It was the young men Zhang Yan had just selected from the new batch of prisoners of war, and all of them were filled into Pei Yuanshao's at this moment. Under his command, 3000 people were assembled for him.

As for the remaining "old, weak, sick and disabled", they were filled into the supply team according to the usual practice.

"Hehe... A general with 3000 troops?"

After settling the newly joined young and strong, and explaining the rules of marching and camping to them, Pei Yuanshao asked them to go to the training queue for the time being like other yellow scarves, and then grinned as he watched his newly promoted trilogy. Voice.

"I've never heard of any general who can lead a team of [-] soldiers. This is probably happier than ordinary generals."

Pei Yuanshao knew that his lord, Zhang Yan, was currently only the General of the Xiyuan Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and belonged to the group of the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan, with only 1000 soldiers in charge in name.

Of course, this is also the limit of power that most generals can touch.

If it is higher, it can only be achieved by senior generals such as school lieutenants in the army, or even generals who lead the army alone.

After all, in this era, not everyone has the financial strength to support thousands or even nearly ten thousand private soldiers, and no one would assign a young and strong army of 3000 to a small general now.

From this point of view, Pei Yuanshao already knew how correct his choice was.

It has been a month since he officially served as Zhang Yan's general. During this month, Zhang Yan did not give him any specific tasks or requirements, but only gave him a training method that made him feel very strange. Let him train the selected young and strong into an army for later use.

Although Pei Yuanshao is not famous among the Yellow Turbans for his commanding ability, he is also the commander of the Yellow Turban Daqu who once led thousands of people. Naturally, he understands that this training method is completely different from the training methods of ordinary soldiers in this era. place.

If it is a normal training of soldiers, the general should first train the combat skills of the group, and then stimulate the courage of the soldiers. When the time is sufficient, the generals should train the soldiers to form various battle formations. However, the training method Zhang Yan gave him is completely different. different.

First there is discipline, then obedience, and finally honor.

The three words that Pei Yuanshao didn't understand made him hesitate a lot about this training method at first, but when he really trained the soldiers under his command in this way for a month, a huge change occurred. on the soldiers.

For example, there were more than 2000 people under his command, but Pei Yuanshao knew the virtues of each of them when they first followed the banner of the Yellow Turban.

Although the Yellow Turban Army has never been greedy for life and fear of death, and has always been famous for its bravery in combat and its soldiers are not afraid of death, but similarly, the shortcomings of the Yellow Turban Army are as obvious as their advantages, or even more serious.

That is birth.

Among the 48 Yellow Turbans who responded to the call of the great virtuous and good teachers, none of them had received orthodox military education from top to bottom, and none of them had received orthodox education.

Every soldier in the Yellow Turban Army has the same poverty, and everyone has suffered the same suffering in the past.And when such a group of people are integrated together and have the power to resist fate, let alone maintain basic military discipline...

Even keeping them from being blinded by hatred and venting their anger on ordinary people like them is already quite difficult.

It can be said that some military regulations and disciplines do not exist in the Yellow Turban.The reason why they were able to rely on such an army to continuously capture the city and defeat the encirclement and suppression of the Han Dynasty was all because of the ruthlessness of the people.

Once back to normal times without fighting, most of the Yellow Turbans can only be described as simple armed thugs.

Up to now, with the help of that seemingly extremely simple but effective training method, these more than 2000 soldiers have initially established a basic foundation from that thug-like state in just one month. Discipline and order.

Although it seemed that everyone was not quite used to it, with the original [-] soldiers, Pei Yuanshao believed that they would soon turn from an armed thug into a real army.

And once the Yellow Turban Army, which was already extremely brave in combat, has order, then Pei Yuanshao is sure that their strength will far exceed the current regular army of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
