NOVEL NEXT Chapter 18
After agreeing on the destination, Zhang Fu reorganized his army. The White Tiger Army was still composed of the 1,000 light cavalry, with Shan Xiongxin as the main general and Suo Chao as the deputy general.
As for the Yellow Turban Warriors, some stronger men were selected from the Yellow Turban Army to supplement the number of Yellow Turban Warriors to 1,000. Huang Chao was the main general, Zhou Cang and Zhang Guiba were the deputy generals.
The Qinglong Army had 10,000 men, formed by the surrendered soldiers of the former Han Dynasty and the former Yijun. There were also some young and strong Yellow Turbans, with Fu Cunshen as the main general.
The 3,000 Beiwei Army was an all-round cavalry, which could be light cavalry with light armor and heavy cavalry with heavy armor, with Yang Zaixing as the main general.
Then there was the craftsman team, with Zhang Yajiu as the boss, and Zhang Yajiu also won the hearts of those craftsmen with his superb forging skills.
Shi Qian began to develop the intelligence organization under Zhang Fu, while Xu Wei served as Zhang Fu's staff, making plans during wartime and handling local affairs during peacetime.
In order to prevent Xu Wei from being tired of handling government affairs alone, Zhang Fu kindly asked Huang Chao to assist Xu Wei after training the Yellow Turban Warriors.
As for Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, they continued to lead the more than 300,000 Yellow Turban Army. As long as there was no chaos, everything would be fine. They would slowly turn the tens of thousands of young and strong among them into their own troops.
After everything was ready, they set off for Youzhou, and encountered many Yellow Turban Army soldiers who fled after being defeated on the way.
Finally, before arriving at Guangyang County in Youzhou, the number of Yellow Turban Army reached 350,000. Although the number increased by 30,000 to 40,000, the number of young and strong only increased by 2,000 to 3,000.
[Ding, system task triggered: the host needs to capture the entire Guangyang County within 30 days. After completion, the system will issue the next stage of tasks! 】
【Task Reward: The system will rate the host based on the quality and time of completing the task, with Grade A being the highest and Grade D being the lowest】
Zhang Fu saw that the task came in time, and it was exactly the same as what he had planned.
"My Lord, I just asked someone on the road. Youzhou Governor Guo Xun was killed a few months ago, and Guangyang County Governor Liu Wei was also killed."
"Guangyang County is now controlled by the local noble families, and there is no new governor or governor for the time being."
"Those noble families have completely controlled Guangyang County, and the strongest of them are the Zang, Lu, and Lu families."
"These three noble families took advantage of the uprising of our Yellow Turban Army to recruit private soldiers. Now each family has at least five or six thousand private soldiers!" Shi Qian reported.
Zhang Fu nodded. The noble families are still easy to deal with. The private soldiers recruited during the chaos have only been three or four months from the very beginning to now.
With this amount of time, with the training ability of these noble families, they may not even be able to match the ordinary army of the Han Dynasty, so if they resist, they will die.
Zhang Fu called everyone over, and then discussed a strategy, and finally determined that the Yellow Turban Army would be the auxiliary, and the Blue Dragon Army and the Yellow Turban Warriors would be the main ones.
The White Tiger Army and the Beiwei Army were responsible for chasing and killing those who escaped after the war.
If the Yellow Turban Army had cavalry, the noble families in Guangzong City would not have been able to escape successfully.
The three major noble families were basically in Ji County, and Anci County in front of Ji County basically encountered no resistance and was captured.
"Son, except for the few noble families who resisted fiercely in the city, I slaughtered them directly, and the remaining seven noble families were all imprisoned."
"But because the county jail was too small, I took people to expand it, and then locked up more than a thousand people from the seven noble families!" Huang Chao said.
Huang Chao's main goal was to be reliable, which made Zhang Fu feel relieved. Especially in terms of targeting the noble families, he seemed to be very good at it, and everything was done very smoothly.
"Shi Qian, you will be responsible for leading people to investigate. We don't want to kill all the noble families. If there are good noble families, we can cooperate with them."
"But if they are noble families that have done evil, they must be dealt with. Their evidence of crimes must be found out one by one. It is best to have witnesses or physical evidence. After all, our Yellow Turban Army cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Zhang Fu is preparing to take charge of the world. Although it doesn't matter if there is any handle left for infamy, he still has to investigate it carefully.
This is not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, only to kill the sinners and those who resist fiercely.
"Yes, Holy Son!" Shi Qian took the order and left quickly with Qinggong.
"This Anci County needs someone to sit in charge, otherwise Shi Qian alone can't find out anything." Zhang Jiao said.
When Zhang Jiao said this, Zhang Fu understood. He thought that he had just recovered and needed to rest well.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Dad!"Zhang Fu thought that with Shi Qian and Pei Yuanshao, it should be safe to leave some young and strong Yellow Turbans.
"Don't worry, I will be in charge of the rear in the future, and you will fight for the world yourself!"
Zang Jiao had a very clear position for him, that is, to stabilize the situation in the rear.
After arranging the affairs of Anci County, Zhang Fu left with the army, leaving 5,000 Yellow Turbans to Zhang Jiao, and Shi Qian had 20 to 30 Jianghu Rangers, which was enough.
......
In Ji County.
Although it was only a day since Anci County was captured, the three major families had received the news, so the core members of the three major families gathered together.
"This group of Yellow Turban bandits was finally wiped out, but I didn't expect them to come back again, and this time it seems very different!"
Zang Tu, the head of the Zang family, spoke first. Zang Tu's strength in Ji County can be ranked among the top five, even if some people in the army are not as good as Zang Tu.
"What's the difference? They still looted every time they conquered a city. I heard that the noble families in Anci County were either killed or imprisoned. The only difference from before is that it is a little gentler."
Lu Pin, the head of the Lu family, felt that there was no problem. The Yellow Turban Army was now a lost dog, not as arrogant as before.
Zang Tu was speechless. Is this gentle? Killing, looting and imprisoning, this is also called gentle, you Lu Pin are really as stupid as a pig.
"Haha, our Ji County is different from Anci County. Anci County only has hundreds of garrisons and private soldiers."
"And our Ji County has nearly 20,000 private soldiers and garrisons. Even if the number of his Yellow Turban bandits is large, what's the use? They are just old, weak and sick!"
Lu Chong, the head of the Lu family, is the most astute person among the three major families, but sometimes he feels that he is too astute and thinks he can calculate everything, so he does not take the Yellow Turban Army seriously.
