Guo Jia saw the pure white horses at a glance, and hurried over and stroked them with his hand. Zhang Liao couldn't put it down and took the black and yellow horse in his hand.
When they heard Xiang Kunlun's words, the two of them nodded wildly to express how much they liked the gift, "My lord, you really gave Liao a big surprise."
Zhang Liao touched the tame horse, with a silly smile on his face that could not be concealed. Xiang Kunlun looked at the two of them, "You two let go of your mounts first. There are 2,000 horses over there."
"What??"
When Guo Jia and Zhang Liao heard that there were still 2,000 horses, they immediately felt bad, especially Zhang Liao, who turned around and looked at Xiang Kunlun with resentment. "Lord, can we speak without being so breathless? But where are the 2,000 horses? Liao can't wait."
Guo Jia, on the other hand, covered his head with a headache on his face, "With so many horses, where should I put them?"
In the end, Zhang Liao had already prepared a natural horse farm not far between Zhongling County and Mayi County, so Xiang Kunlun sent Zhang Liao to lead 2,000 carefully selected Xiang soldiers. The horses went to the natural racecourse, and Zhang Liao was finally able to officially start training the white horse Yi Cong.
Xiang Kunlun came back at this time and brought back the iron ore that the Zhen family gave to Xiang Kunlun after careful selection, as well as the new share ratio.
This news made Guo Jia immediately overjoyed. You must know that it is a bit difficult for the two counties to support the current 7,000 Xiang Jiajun, but fortunately, refined sugar and refined salt have brought a lot of income, and Recently, the refined iron smelting method that Guo Jia sent people to research has also achieved great results.
Xiang Kunlun made a difficult decision, which was to first use fine iron to build a batch of farm tools to increase productivity in the territory, and then start to build weapons and armor to equip his Xiang family army.
In this way, under the conditions that Guo Jia had prepared long ago, the farmers in Zhongling County and Mayi County took the lead in using more advanced agricultural tools, which greatly improved the productivity of the two counties.
In March of the first year of Zhongping, Huangfu Chong wrote to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to end the feud between the parties.
Lu Zhi led the deputy general Zong Yuan and led the five northern army sergeants to take charge of the northern front and deal with Zhang Jiao's main force. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led an army and controlled more than 40,000 people in total from the five schools, the Three Rivers Knights and the newly recruited elite warriors. , crusade against the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan area.
Zhu Jun also recruited Sun Jian from Xiapi to serve as Sima of the army. He led the young men from his hometown and recruited merchants from various brigades and elite soldiers from Huai River and Surabaya. A total of more than a thousand people set out to join Zhu Jun's army.
Soon Zhang Mancheng attacked and killed Chu Gong, the governor of Nanyang County, in response to Zhang Jiao's prestige. However, the Han army did not win in the first battle. In April, Zhu Jun's army was defeated by Huangjin Bocai and retreated. Huangfu Song had no choice but to join him. They stationed themselves in Changshe for defense, but were surrounded by a large army led by Bocai. The Han army was small and morale was low.
The Runan Yellow Turban Army defeated the prefect Zhao Qian in Shaoling, and the Guangyang Yellow Turban Army killed Youzhou Governor Guo Xun and the prefect Liu Wei. The Yellow Turban Army showed no signs of retreat due to the actions of the Han Dynasty.
Xiang Kunlun looked at the battle report sent by Guo Jia and couldn't help but frown. At this moment, Xiang Kunlun heard a system notification sound in his ear.
[Ding, Huangfu Song from Changshe County, Yingchuan County, Yuzhou has been detected. Zhu Jun is in trouble in the war, and the mission "Support Changshe" has been activated.]
[Mission introduction: The Yellow Turban Rebellion has reached its peak. As the overlord, how can you be absent from this prosperous battle? Please send troops quickly to win a share of fame.]
[Task description: Ask the host to help Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun defeat the Yellow Turban Army in Changshe.]
[Task reward: 3000 soldiers, general Xu Chu, famous official Lu Su.]
Xiang Kunlun's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the names of the two people in the mission reward. These two people really made Xiang Kunlun jealous, so Xiang Kunlun quickly called for a personal guard.
"Go, quickly invite Fengxiao and order the three generals Wenyuan, Boping and Yuanfu to come see me!"
"promise,"
The bodyguards took the order and hurried out. Xiang Kunlun looked at the leaving bodyguards, and then turned his eyes back to the map of prefectures and counties behind him.
Not long after, Guo Jia walked in first, followed by Gao Shun. However, Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang could not arrive for a while because one was training white horse Yi Cong at the racecourse and the other was stationed in Mayi County.
Xiang Kunlun looked at Guo Jia and Gao Shun, with a warm smile on his face, "Fengxiao, Boping, you are here, sit down quickly, someone will serve tea to Fengxiao and Boping!"
As Guo Jia and Gao Shun sat down in confusion, the attendant brought two cups of hot tea. After taking the tea, Guo Jia did not drink it in a hurry, but put it on the small table at hand, and then He bowed his hands to Xiang Kunlun.
"I wonder what General Jiang Jia and General Gao have called for urgently?"
"I have been recuperating for several months, and the Yellow Turban thieves are becoming more and more rampant. I want to lead an army to attack, contribute to the people in this troubled time, and end this chaos as soon as possible."
Xiang Kunlun looked at Guo Jia and spoke his plan in a leisurely manner. Hearing this, Guo Jia frowned and pondered for a moment before Guo Jiacai said, "Now, after the efforts of General Wen Yuan and General Boping, the general's The soldiers are considered capable of fighting, but after the general is gone, there will be no one to advise the general. I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
Xiang Kunlun also thought of this, but looked at Guo Jia helplessly, "Mr. Fengxiao, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Hahaha, general, Jia has a friend who happened to come to visit recently. Perhaps he can give advice to the general when he sends troops this time."
Upon hearing Guo Jia's words, Xiang Kunlun quickly asked, "I wonder what the name of this person recommended by Fengxiao is?"
"This person is Jia Zhi's good friend, Xi Jun."
As soon as he heard this name, Xiang Kunlun immediately thought of a name in his mind, "Is it Xi Zhicai?"
"Huh? General, have you ever heard of Zhicai?"
Upon hearing Xiang Kunlun say his friend's name, Guo Jia looked at Xiang Kunlun in surprise. Then Xiang Kunlun hurriedly remembered that he didn't know Xi Zhicai, and hurriedly explained, "Didn't Fengxiao mention it to a certain person before? Come on, this person is your classmate and friend when you were in school."
"Oh, I see, Jia somewhat can't remember..."
Guo Jia wondered in her heart, could it be that she really remembered it wrong
At this time, Gao Shun beside him couldn't sit still and spoke directly. "My lord, I don't know if Wen Yuan can go with me this time. If it is possible, Shun will voluntarily stay behind and give up his position so that Wen Yuan can accompany the lord in the battle."
"Hahaha, this time, neither you nor Wenyuan will stay behind. I will take you to send troops together!"
