Chapter 566: Lu Bu Enters Bingzhou
Everyone can understand Gao Shun's words. In short, it is good to be trapped in the camp, but it would be better if the equipment can be customized. . .
At the end, Huangfu Chaobo gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and said: "If your trapped camp is really that strong, I would have recruited four master craftsmen from Luoshen Town to Luoyang to create a batch of equipment specifically for the trapped camp. Everything will be done according to your request.”
When Gao Shun heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately said: "General, don't worry, Shun will definitely not let you down."
"Okay, Gao Shun listens to the order. I will appoint you as Army Sima. Starting from tomorrow, you will use my general's order to select soldiers in the three counties of Luoyang, Hanoi and Hongnong. All the soldiers you see are below the rank of commander. All officers with military positions are not allowed to be stopped by the generals, and they can all be transferred into the trapped camp. After the selection is completed, for a period of three months, we will watch your soldiers' military exercises with the chief officers and military generals. If you are really trapped in the camp. As you say you are strong, I will not only agree to customize weapons and equipment for you, but I will also reward you heavily!"
When everyone heard this, they all became jealous, and the village chief and below were chosen at will. This support was not so great even when Shi A formed the Shadow Guard.
Gao Shun was overjoyed when he heard this and strode forward to accept the order. Later, after receiving the military order from Huangfu Chaobo, he exited the meeting hall.
After handling Gao Shun's matter, Huangfu Chaobo saw that it was already getting late, so he didn't say anything more to everyone. He just ordered to discuss things tomorrow morning, and then asked everyone to leave.
Early the next morning, Tian Feng, Xu Shu and generals Huang Zhong rushed to the governor's mansion. Nothing else. After the war, there were too many things in Luoyang. Although all the civil and military personnel were outstanding people, the family There are thousands of people but only one person in charge. Many things still need to be decided by the lord Huangfu Chaobo.
The most important thing here is the training of soldiers and horses. According to the arrangements for the reform of the military system, the training of soldiers and horses needed by Luoyang has been completed, but the next step is the soldiers and horses of Hongnong and Hanoi counties. But there is a problem. , Hongnong's soldiers were insufficient. Hongnong had been forcibly relocated twice by Dong Zhuo's army, and the number of people had been greatly reduced. After Lu Bu occupied Hongnong, he forcibly recruited several troops, which further led to a sharp decrease in the population.
Now Lu Bu is going to leave, and Hongnong's mess has been handed over to Huangfu Chaobo, but the population problem is an unavoidable obstacle. Insufficient population means insufficient soldiers, and if there are not enough soldiers, it may not be possible to defend it. . Moreover, there is another serious problem of insufficient population, the food problem. Luoyang was originally a big burden, but now it has to add a moderate burden like Hongnong, making it even more difficult for Huangfu Chaobo.
But you have to do it now. Once Lu Bu's army withdraws, Huangfu Chaobo must follow closely with his troops and horses. At least he must firmly control all the cities along the line.
After several discussions, several people decided to first use Luoyang soldiers and horses to fully equip the garrison of Hongnong's cities. As for the soldiers, they can only come step by step. So Huang Zhong immediately sent 15,000 garrison soldiers to Hangu Pass. Together with the 16,000 garrison soldiers at Hangu Pass, Huang Zhong also dispatched 5,000 garrison troops and 5,000 combat troops. A total of 25,000 soldiers entered Hong Kong. within the agricultural territory.
In the following days, every time Lu Bu's army ceded a county seat, Zhou Cang's army took over a county seat, and then arranged three thousand guards in the county seat to stabilize the county seat. As for the restoration of the administrative system in the county, it is estimated that it will take It took a while, because Huangfu Chaobo really didn't have the talent for internal affairs.
Five days later, Lu Bu's army boarded a boat at the ferry outside Hongnong County. Then the army went eastward along the river, preparing to disembark at Hanoi Port. Then it passed Huai County and went north along the Dan River from Shanyang County into Shangdang territory. The main reason why Lu Bu finally decided to join the Shangdang from Hanoi was to publicize the families of the generals and the grain purchased from Huangfu Chaobo.
It is said that Zhang Yang was already disheartened after surrendering. He thought that Huangfu Chaobo would not kill him now, but he would definitely not be able to tolerate him when Hanoi was stabilized.
Unexpectedly, within a few days, his friend actually exchanged 10,000 soldiers for him, along with his subordinates and family members who were willing to continue to follow him.
The army went down the river and arrived at the Port of Hanoi again. Zhang Yang couldn't help but be filled with emotion. A few days ago, he was the master of this place, but now everything has changed.
In the Hanoi water village where the navy soldiers were waiting, Lu Bu's army came ashore and headed towards Huai County under the leadership of a general of the navy. There, the families of Zhang Yang and others and the grain purchased by Lu Bu were prepared. After Lu Bu's army retrieved these things, they did not stay long, but continued to go north, towards Shangdang County in Bingzhou.
When Lu Bu's army withdrew from Hanoi, Huangfu Chaobo received a system notification that the seventh ring reconstruction task had been completed. Huangfu Chaobo once again obtained 80,000 task points. Immediately afterwards, the mission of the eighth ring of the system was released. The mission was relatively simple.
"The eighth link of the Rebuild Luoyang mission: Reorganize the Eight Passes of Luoyang. The counterattack of the princes made you realize that the early warning around Luoyang was not perfect enough, so you decided to reorganize the Eight Passes of Luoyang, reset the Eight Pass Captains, and protect Luoyang's safety. At the same time, Luoyang’s population reached more than 200,000.”
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the first year of Zhongping reign of Emperor Ling {184 AD}, Yin Hejin of Henan {governed in Luoyang} was appointed as the general, leading the left and right Yulinjun and the five school lieutenants to camp in the capital to guard the capital; Hangu Pass, Yique, Guangcheng, Dagu, Yuan, Xuanmen, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin were set up around Luoyang, and the eight pass commanders were appointed to manage the military and political affairs of the eight passes and guard the safety of the capital. The government was located in Hangu Pass.
Ten days later, Huangfu Chaobo received the news from the shadow. With the prestige of Lu Bu and Zhang Yang in Bingzhou, the army of Lu Bu passed the message all the way from Gaodu County and successfully captured the entire Shangdang territory. Finally, the army was settled before the first heavy snow in the second year of Chuping.
These had little to do with Huangfu Chaobo, who was far away in Luoyang. Since Lu Bu's army withdrew from Hongnong, Huangfu Chaobo and his subordinates once again devoted themselves to the complicated military and political affairs.
Several counties east of Tongguan in Hongnong County and Qin Hanguguan were successfully brought under control. Zhou Cang led 5,000 combat soldiers and 5,000 garrison soldiers to station at Qin Hanguguan. As for the county town of Huxian to the west of Hanguguan, because it faced Tongguan of Dong Zhuo's army, Huangfu Song, against all odds, arranged his own son Huangfu Jianshou as the garrison commander, with 5,000 garrison soldiers and 2,000 cavalry to garrison there. This city and this pass were the defense center of the entire western Sizhou. If both were not lost, Hongnong would be safe, and if Hongnong was safe, Luoyang would be safe.
