Chapter 66
After the New Year, the first large-scale meeting of the Yellow Turban Army was held. Except for Zhang Jue, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, Pei Yuanshao, Jia Sixie, Shen Wansan, Du Kang, Zhu Fu, Shi Qian, and Zhang Yajiu, all others were present.
Cheng Yu was the first on the right, followed by Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Mao Jie, Xu Wei, Guan Jing, and Dian Wei standing behind Guo Jia.
Yang Zaixing was the first on the left, followed by Huang Chao, Gongsun Zan, Guan Hai, Zhang Mancheng, Bo Cai, Fu Cunshen, Shan Xiongxin, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Taishi Ci, Xu Rong, Li Cunxiao, Zhang Dingbian and other generals.
"Huang Chao was appointed as the governor of Zhuo County, Mao Jie was appointed as the governor of Youbeiping County and concurrently the governor of Yuyang County, Xu Wei was appointed as the governor of Dai County, Li Jin was appointed as the governor of Lelang County, and Liao Hua was appointed as the governor of Liaoxi County."
"Yan Rou was appointed as the governor of Shanggu County, Guan Jing was appointed as the governor of Xuantu County, Li Qian was appointed as the governor of Changli County, Gongsun Du is still the governor of Liaodong County, and my father is temporarily the governor of Guangyang County."
Zhang Fu also discussed with Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Cheng Yu for a long time before deciding on the candidates for these governors. Although Guan Jing and Li Qian were not as capable, they could still execute the requirements.
Huang Chao, Mao Jie, Xu Wei, Liao Hua, Li Jin, Li Qian, Guan Jing, and Yan Rou all thanked him in unison: "Thank you, lord!"
As for Gongsun Du, he was still in Liaodong County. Because it took too long to go back and forth, Zhang Fu did not call Gongsun Du to come.
"Zhou Cang, you will be responsible for leading the Yellow Turban Warriors, and Pei Yuanshao will be your deputy, mainly responsible for protecting the safety of my father and others!"
Zhang Fu believed in the strength of the Yellow Turban Warriors. According to Cheng Yu and others' speculation, it is very likely that someone will ask the assassin organizations in the rivers and lakes or the dead warriors raised by the aristocratic families to assassinate, so the Yellow Turban Warriors need to protect my father, second uncle, third uncle and others at all times.
"Yes, lord!" Zhou Cang immediately accepted the order, which was a promotion for Zhou Cang.
Zhang Fu opened his mouth and continued to make arrangements: "The White Tiger Army, the White Horse Volunteers, and the Beiwei Army remain unchanged for the time being, and the main generals are still Shan Xiongxin, Fu Cunshen, and Yang Zaixing!"
"Zhang Dingbian was transferred to the Xuanwu Army as deputy general, and Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng were transferred to the Taiping Army as deputy generals."
Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng were originally the Yellow Turban Army, so it was good to let them follow Guan Hai. As for Zhang Dingbian, it was because he did have the ability to fight on water.
Zhang Dingbian, Bo Cai, and Zhang Mancheng said in unison: "Yes, lord!"
"Xu Rong will be the commander of the Wuhuan cavalry, and Qiu Liju will be the deputy commander!" Then Zhang Fu's eyes were on Qiu Liju.
He was suddenly changed from the commander to the deputy commander, and there must be dissatisfaction in his heart, but Qiu Liju's ability was indeed not enough to lead the Wuhuan cavalry well.
"Yes, lord!" Qiu Liju was the first to stand up and accept the order.
Xu Rong thanked: "Thank you for your trust, lord, I will definitely not let you down!"
Because the cavalry under his command was temporarily sufficient, Zhang Fu directly let Li Cunxiao serve as the garrison commander of Ji County.
Li Cunxiao was also very happy about this. After all, he had just joined, and he was very satisfied to be able to lead the Ji County garrison.
Mainly because Zhang Fu himself would go to recruit talents in person, so someone must be in charge of Ji County.
Although it was not a problem with Yang Zaixing in Ding, Zhang Fu was more relieved with Li Cunxiao in charge.
The last thing to discuss was the strength of each army. There were many casualties in the previous battle in Youzhou.
So after a series of discussions, the White Tiger Army, Beiwei Army, and Yellow Turban Warriors selected personnel from each army to supplement to 3,000 people.
The White Horse Volunteers also had 3,000 people, the Black Tortoise Army had to recruit 20,000 people, the Blue Dragon Army also maintained at 20,000 people, and the Taiping Army recruited 30,000 people.
The Wuhuan cavalry was finally selected from various Wuhuan tribes to supplement to 15,000 people, mainly because there were Xianbei and Xiongnu people on the grassland, and there was a Buyeo country next to it.
So some people had to be left to protect the safety of each tribe, otherwise Zhang Fu was ready to recruit 20,000 people directly.
Now Zhang Fu also calculated that if the county soldiers and county soldiers from various places were counted, the strength of the entire Youzhou would have exceeded 100,000.
In the afternoon, Zhang Ning appeared in front of Zhang Fu.
"Sister, you want to train soldiers, this is not appropriate, I will go to other places to find talents, sister, you should take care of father, second uncle, third uncle and others for the time being."
"After all, if this kind of thing is left to Pei Yuanshao and others, I am afraid they can't do it as well as you, so let's do it for the time being before you come back."
"If you still want to train soldiers at that time, I will select some women for you and let you train a female army."
Zhang Fu couldn't bear to refuse when he saw the look in his sister's eyes, so he could only delay it for a while.
Although the elder sisterMy sister also has certain abilities, at least she can train 1,800 soldiers, but when I am not here, there are still some problems.
Zhang Ning heard that his younger brother agreed, so he smiled and said, "Hehe, then it's settled!" Although it takes a while, it doesn't matter, as long as things can be accomplished in the end.
"There is another thing I want to remind my elder sister, because we have unified Youzhou, we can be said to be the largest rebel force in the world, so if we can't defeat them in a frontal attack, I'm afraid someone will come to assassinate us."
"Although we have the protection of the Yellow Turban Warriors, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and the bad guys in secret, we are still a little worried, so you have to stay with your father every day."
Zhang Fu thought about it, and his second uncle and third uncle both have martial arts skills, and the protection is enough.
Only my father is still recovering, so there are still some problems, and my elder sister Zhang Ning has second-rate martial arts, so close protection is the only way to be safe.
"Father has mentioned this a long time ago. Don't worry, little brother. Nothing will go wrong with me here!" Zhang Ning patted his chest and promised.
Zhang Fu nodded, and then pulled Zhang Ning to talk about some things that happened to Zhang Ning outside, and then let Zhang Ning leave.
Then Zhang Fu called Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu over.
"My Lord!" The three said in unison.
Zhang Fu spoke directly to the point: "Well, I'm going to leave tomorrow. This time Zhongde will accompany me. Zhicai and Fengxiao, you guys stay for the time being. Youzhou and the Bad People need you."
Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia stayed, and Cheng Yu followed him to leave. It was also discussed early, but the time had not been set at that time.
This trip was considered to have completely set the time.
Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu said in unison: "Yes, my Lord!"
Before leaving, he explained again, asking them to do a good job in promoting seeds, curved plows, and barrel carts, and then left with Cheng Yu.
