At dawn, the residents of Anqiu County, who had been restless for the entire night, finally had the courage to go out and inquire about the news. Soon, the news of the arrival of the soldiers spread throughout the small county.”Soon, Bing Yuan's placating notice was pasted all over the city's main roads, and the restless people began to calm down. During the battle of Anqiu, due to the sudden attack of the Beihai Army, Bing Yuan decisively closed the door and beat the dogs. Among the 6000 Yellow Turban soldiers in Anqiu City, except for the thousand or so who were guarding the city, most of the captives, including the Yellow Turban soldiers who had fled in the chaos, were also captured. In terms of wealth, this group of Yellow Turban had been operating for many years and had accumulated a lot. They had seized more than 100,000 stones of grain, dozens of catties of gold and silver, and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Our army had less than 100 casualties. The battle of Anqiu could be said to have been a complete victory.
Anqiu County Yamen. "General Zhao is indeed brave! I have already reported the victory to Lord Kong.”Bing Yuan praised. After all, to be able to fly up the city wall required not only courage but also skill. The Wanderers in the Tiger Infantry Battalion were all unruly and unruly when they were mixed into the original team. Who knew that after I reorganized them, coupled with my strict military law and good reward and punishment system, they could erupt with such powerful combat strength? It should be known that these people had only been reorganized for less than a month.
"Lord Bing is too kind. This time, it was all thanks to Lord Bing's quick decision and all the soldiers 'ability that we were able to achieve this. However, Sir Bing will have to worry about how to deal with the captives and how to rebuild the county office.”Zhao Qing didn't take off his battle robe, and he was discussing the post-war matters with Bing Yuan. "This general has already checked the Yellow Turban captives. There are only two to three out of ten strong ones. According to the Lord of Confucius's method of handling, nearly four thousand Yellow Turban captives need to be reorganized and opened up. However, there is a difficulty now. Our army cannot stay here for long. If the reorganized Yellow Turban captives stay here, they will be a hot potato for the newly built Anqiu County Yamen.”
"No worries." Bing Yuan smiled. "An Qiu is less than a hundred miles away from our North Sea. The transportation is convenient. Our North Sea Cavalry will arrive in half a day. Even if our New 5th Battalion's elites are lightly armed, they will arrive in less than a day.”Bing Yuan continued. "Moreover, this part of the Yellow Turban's courage has already been taken away by the general. With the preferential policies of Lord Kong's garrison, they can't be unconvinced.”Bing Yuan analyzed.
Zhao Qing suddenly understood. After all, he was born in a poor family and had an unavoidable flaw in politics. After his natural military strategy gradually matured after many battles, he did not make much progress in politics due to his lack of education. "General Zhao, if you don't mind, I'll share with you the ways of governing the country and the army in the future.”Bing Yuan saw that Zhao Qing was eager to learn and had a quick mind, so he probed.
"Thank you so much, Lord Bing. No, Mister Bing, you've troubled me.”Zhao Qing was overjoyed. He stood up and gave Bing Yuan a big bow. It was the bow of a disciple. His family was poor since he was young, and his parents died early. He had no chance to study and became a wanderer. In today's words, he was a local ruffian. If Kong Rong hadn't gathered an army in the North Sea, he wouldn't have joined the army. Without my unexpected selection method, he wouldn't have had the chance to stand out. Bing Yuan was a wise man that was praised by the world. If it was him in the past, he wouldn't have had the chance to be recognized. Now that Bing Yuan was willing to teach him, it was a great joy for him. Although he was still clueless about his future, judging from the recent development of the Beihai Army and the importance of the Lord of Confucius, he might be able to become a marquis in the future.
Bing Yuan was excited to see that this young man could be taught. He was very knowledgeable and was especially good at governing the country. However, he had been in a chaotic world for many years. It was not until he met Kong Rong that he had a chance to use what he had learned. Unfortunately, Kong Rong seemed to be too ambitious. When the North Sea was in turmoil, a thunderbolt seemed to have split Kong Rong's seven orifices. From then on, his mind was clear and he had endless strange ideas. He had defeated nearly 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers with a flip of his hand, and built a strong and capable army at an astonishing speed. He had also obtained the help of Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and other strategists, as well as Taishi Ci, Zhao Qing, Xu Sheng, and other fierce generals. The North Sea had already risen. With Bing Yuan's foresight, he naturally saw further than Zhao Qing. Although I didn't elaborate on Guo Jia's plan, even if others couldn't see it, how could Bing Yuan not see his intention to rule the world?
It was Bing Yuan's wish to be able to display what he had learned in his life and benefit a region. Now that I had vaguely given him this hope and given him the opportunity to take charge of a region, Bing Yuan would certainly not let it go. Therefore, Bing Yuan valued this young general beside him very much. He would be a great help to him in the future. There were still many things to do after the grain road was opened. The south of Beihai County was not peaceful. Various forces occupied it. The Tibetan Tyrant Yellow Turban was watching fiercely by the side and wanted to rebuild the local regime. Whether it was military or political battles of wits and strength, it was a good thing for Bing Yuan to improve Zhao Qing's military strategy and political ability as soon as possible, not to mention Zhao Qing was so smart. "General Zhao, you're too kind.”Bing Yuan said politely. Zhao Qing insisted on being a disciple. Bing Yuan was also a free and easy person. Moreover, Zhao Qing was only in his twenties, so it was not strange for him to become his disciple.
The army stayed in Anqiu for three days, completing the tasks of annexation and reconstruction of the county government. They settled the 4000 Yellow Turban farmers and the household registration of several thousand households in Anqiu County. At the same time, the 1500 selected Yellow Turban elites were scattered and incorporated into the city defense army. The original 15 city defense troops were now expanded to three troops. Bing Yuan and Zhao Qing left two more troops to promote one of them to be the commander of another department to guard Anqiu County with the newly appointed county magistrate. The excess food was reported to Beihai to send troops to transport it to solve the urgent shortage of food in Beihai. After completing these tasks, he appointed a military commander as the commander of another division. He ordered him to lead two divisions to take over Chunyu County, which had no major forces in the east, and rebuild the county government. The army continued to move south. Chang 'an, Pingchang, and the other counties were far weaker than the Anqiu Yellow Turban. They only had two to three thousand soldiers, and they all surrendered when they heard the news. However, they did not seize much money and food. They only had twenty to thirty thousand stone of food and tens of thousands of money. However, everyone was already familiar with the work of reorganizing and rebuilding the county government. They completed it in a few days, leaving two thousand-odd City Defense Army troops to stay behind and continue south.
The army heading south met the local tycoon Wu Qinyuan's troops in Gaomi. Wu Qinyuan was a famous family in the south of Beihai County. Almost half of Gaomi County belonged to the Wu family. He had thousands of servants and troops. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the fall of Beihai County, Wu Qinyuan had seized the opportunity to rise. Relying on his wealth and power, he had gathered nearly ten thousand people in a few years. He called himself the bandit pacifying lieutenant and was a local independent force in Beihai County that could not be underestimated. Thus, when our army arrived outside Gaomi County, Wu Qinyuan relied on his strength and familiarity with the place to not allow our army to enter the city. " Mister Bing, what should we do now?" Zhao Qing asked worriedly. Gaomi County was not Bi 'anqiu, and there was a moat around it. Moreover, the strength and movement of our army had already been detected by the enemy scouts. The defense in the city was tight, and a sneak attack could no longer be carried out. Moreover, there were many people in the city. It was said that Wu Qinyuan was skilled in martial arts and was well-versed in military strategies. Our army came from afar and lacked siege weapons. If we attacked forcefully, our army would definitely suffer heavy losses. Bing Yuan also felt that this was a thorny problem. Although he was also skilled in military tactics, he was still slightly inferior to a genius like Guo Jia. They had to attack, but how could they take down Gaomi at the lowest price? Bing Yuan fell into deep thought. "Tomorrow, I will challenge him and see what is so special about this Wu Qinyuan.”Zhao Qing couldn't bear to see this and decided to test it out head-on.
The next day, Zhao Qing gathered 2000 Tiger Infantry Battalion troops and arrived at the city to fight, forming a corner with Bing Yuan's 2 divisions of Vermillion Bird Camp and 2000 City Defense Army troops. Wu Qinyuan didn't show any weakness, seeing the other side open up their weapons, he also gathered 5000 troops out of the city, forming a 2 Dragons Out of Water Formation, just in time to face Zhao Qing and Bing Yuan. "My Gaomi has nothing to do with your Beihai County. Why did you attack?”Wu Qinyuan was the first to ask sternly! Zhao Qing brandished his silver spear." The Imperial Court has entrusted the Northern Sea Confucian Manor with the task of governing an area. You are just one of the major families in Gaomi County. To raise an army in this county without permission is tantamount to rebelling. If you surrender as soon as possible and accept the Imperial Court's control, you can still ensure the safety of your family. Otherwise, when the army breaks through the city, your three clans will be wiped out!”Zhao Qing said proudly. He was an upright soldier, so he was naturally full of confidence. " Hahaha!" Wu Qinyuan laughed heartily." Ridiculous, extremely ridiculous! If you want to fight, bring it on!”He picked up his white horse and flashed his saber as he came out of the formation. Zhao Qing saw that they were not on the same page, so he did not reply. He rode his horse and raised his spear. After more than 30 rounds of fighting, Zhao Qing finally found an opening and stabbed Wu Qinyuan in the thigh.”Wu Qinyuan let out a blood-curdling scream and rode his horse back to the main formation. Zhao Qing raised his spear and wanted to give chase, but a rain of arrows shot out from the Wuqin Yuan Formation to stop him.
"Wu Qinyuan is only defending and not coming out. Our army has already been blocked here for many days.”After returning to the camp, Zhao Qing didn't feel excited. On the contrary, he had a bad premonition. As expected, Wu Qinyuan didn't come out when he saw that he couldn't fight the enemy. He tried to make the Beihai Army retreat after running out of food. Today was already the fifth day." If there's no other plan, why don't we go around Gaomi and clear other places first? We'll make plans later.”Zhao Qing summoned the 3rd Battalion Lieutenant and Bing Yuan to discuss countermeasures. Seeing that they had been unable to do anything for several days, he said angrily. "If we bypass Gaomi, our connection with the North Sea will be cut off. It will be extremely difficult to provide food and fodder.”Bing Yuan said. "Wait a minute... Did you just say to bypass Gaomi?" Bing Yuan's heart skipped a beat as if he had thought of something. "It's a detour. Is there a problem with Mister Bing?”Zhao Qing answered curiously. "Maybe we can do this…”Bing Yuan explained the plan that he had just come up with in detail. Zhao Qing and the others agreed that the plan was feasible, so they discussed the details in detail and went their separate ways the next day.
