018
In March of the seventh year of Guanghe, in the governor's office of Youzhou, Lu Qing sat high above the emperor.
Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were all sitting below. The other officials of Youzhou were not qualified to come here because Lu Qing did not have any civil officials available, so he temporarily used the former officials.
When he had more talents in his hands, Youzhou's officialdom would definitely be changed.
The four of them looked at Lu Qing nervously because Lu Qing had told them to wait here for something big to happen today.
"Report! Urgent report from the Imperial Court!"
At this moment, a messenger rushed in. Lu Qing immediately stood up.
"It's finally here!"
Lu Qing laughed loudly and took the urgent report to read. As expected, it was about the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
With the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, half of the Han Dynasty was conquered in a short period of time, and the imperial court was completely alarmed.
Therefore, he directly ordered all the wealthy clans and local officials to recruit troops to suppress the bandits. This was a golden age of greed!
It was because of this Yellow Turban Rebellion that countless dukes were born.
Regardless of whether it was Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo, or anyone else, they had all risen to prominence in this war.
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the Great Han Empire was in imminent danger. Now is the time for our Youzhou to show its brilliance.”
Lu Qing said. The battle with Gongsun Zan before was ultimately an internal conflict in Youzhou. The world would only be surprised by Lu Qing's strength, but they would not respect him.
In this Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu Qing not only wanted to make contributions, but he also wanted to announce to the world how powerful Youzhou was.
Although Lu Qing was the provincial governor, he had to spend money to get the position. Hence, if he wanted to obtain real prestige, he needed to have battle achievements.
The four of them suddenly stood up, their eyes filled with excitement. Didn't they train the army for half a year just for this day?
Only they knew how powerful the Youzhou Army was. If they could lead such an army, they would definitely be famous in history!
"Pass down the order!"
Lu Qing stood up abruptly.
Gongsun Zan and the others looked solemn.
"In this battle, our Youzhou army is like a dragon. We will definitely make a contribution, Zhao Yun! Gongsun Zan, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei! Each of them will lead 10,000 cavalrymen, and with my 10,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry, we will have a total of 50,000 troops. We will let the world see what the Youzhou Army is like!”
Currently, Youzhou had 100,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry. The rest were the 10,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry that Lu Qing had established himself.
The name was taken from a famous cavalry in a modern novel, but the strength of this army was real.
This was because Lu Qing had gotten many modern weapons for the Snow Dragon Knights.
Up until now, Lu Qingkui's army had used modern weapons, but they were all made with local techniques.
Only the Snow Dragon Knights were equipped with advanced technology! For example, their armor was made of a special type of steel, which was very expensive.
However, it could even block bullets and was very light.
It was made into armor for soldiers and warhorses. It could be said that it was truly invulnerable!
He even added high-strength lenses to the eyes of the Snow Dragon Riders, and bulletproof fibers to the joints.
It could be said that they were armed to the teeth! The cost of forging these equipment was no less than the cost of a modern soldier, but Lu Qing used it to build an ancient cavalry of tens of thousands of people.
One could imagine how extravagant it was!
However, it was also because of this that the Snow Dragon Cavalry was extremely powerful. Even the ten thousand soldiers of the Snow Dragon Cavalry were chosen from the best of the two hundred thousand soldiers.
They would only listen to him, and each of them had the combat strength to fight against ten.
With ten thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalry and forty thousand Youzhou Cavalry, a total of fifty thousand cavalrymen, this kind of strength would definitely shock the world.
It must be known that the army sent by the Imperial Court was only 200,000, and most of them were infantry, the old, the weak, the sick, and new recruits.
Lu Qing was even certain that the combined strength of his 50,000 cavalry could crush the 200,000 soldiers sent by the imperial court.
Therefore, Lu Qing was full of confidence in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. This battle would be his battle to make a name for himself.
Following Lu Qing's order, Zhao Yun and the other three went to do the chores. As for guarding the house, it was left to Yan Gang and Tian Yu.
These two were Gongsun Zan's generals, so they definitely had the ability. They didn't dare to say anything else, but at least they were fully qualified to defend one side.
Youzhou still had 160,000 troops left. Even if the foreign tribes invaded, they would not be able to threaten Youzhou's safety in a short period of time, so they could go to the Central Plains to eliminate the Yellow Turban bandits with peace of mind.
After the troops were gathered, Lu Qing led the 50,000 cavalry south.
The first place they went to was Bingzhou. Although the influence of Bingzhou was not as great as the hinterland of the Central Plains, there were still hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban bandits.
One had to know that the Yellow Turban rebels had swept across the world this time. There were millions, even millions!
Therefore, even if Bingzhou was remote, it was normal for there to be hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves.
Lu Qing's idea was actually very simple. He wanted to start from Youzhou and push all the way south. He wanted to rely on his own strength to kill all the Yellow Turban bandits.
In the territory of Wuyuan County, Bing Province, a carriage was speeding forward, and behind it were countless Yellow Turban bandits chasing after it with ferocious laughter.
"Fight!"
The coachman was covered in cold sweat as he whipped his horse. However, since he was dragging the carriage, how could his speed compare to the cavalry behind him?
At this moment, there were three people in the carriage, an old man and two young girls.
"Wenji, I've let you down. If you hadn't followed me out to visit friends, you would have been in Wuyuan County right now. At least you could have lasted until the imperial court's army arrived.”
Cai Yong said. It seemed like they were doomed.
