Even though Deng Dang made great determination, he would like to live and die with Liyang.

But Yuan Yao was still not relieved, because he knew that Jiujiang had appeared south, but it was just calm on the surface, but in fact there was undercurrents in the secret. All forces were like evil dragons that chose people to eat, and they would jump out and bite them at some point.

During this period, the rule was stable, and it was also because Yuan Yao personally led the main force to deter all parties, which led to the forces of various ministries not daring to act rashly.

But if Yuan Yao leads his troops north, the specific situation will be unknown.

Liyang will also be completely exposed to the war.

It is still unknown whether all forces will take advantage of the situation to attack.

only.

As the commander of the country, all Yuan Yao needs to do is to prepare for the future. It is a big deal to settle the defense after leaving.

"Please give me advice!"

Hearing this, he looked at Yuan Yao saying seriously, Deng Dang's heart sank, and felt the difficulty of sticking to Liyang, so he bowed and asked.

After the words are finished.

Yuan Yao pondered for a while and then responded slowly: "General Deng, after you take over the defense, in addition to strengthening the city defense, what you should pay more attention to is to build more trench machines and prepare enough stones to defend the city."

"Take the Stone? Defend the City?"

As soon as these words were said, Deng Dang was a little confused. Aren’t the catapults used to attack the city? How can they still be used to defend the city?

It's not his fault that he can't understand.

The main reason is that the catapult machine has a large volume of space. If it is placed several frames, it will probably be able to fill the city walls, which will lead to insufficient space.

Moreover, trenchers are used to cover multiple attacks, and they must have dozens of trenchers to produce powerful output. One or two have no use at all.

Under the influence of these factors, it is difficult for the defender to use the stone-treating machine to defend the city.

Based on this idea, Yuan Yao smiled and refused to answer, and led Deng Dang directly to a high ground on the flank of the city wall.

After reaching the destination, Deng Dang was slightly shocked.

This place is wide and has a very high terrain. Many stomping walls have been built to facilitate the stacking of trenchers and stones. Standing here, you can stand high and see the situation outside the city.

Deng Dang is a talented general!

Seeing this scene, he naturally realized Yuan Yao's intention.

Seeing this, Deng Dang showed his resolute expression in front of him and bowed and said loudly: "The young master has made so many preparations to defend against Liyang, so please relax. Of course, he will use all advantages such as the advantage of the geographical advantage to protect the city."

After he had a clear mind, his expression on his face became calm and composed.

Seeing this expression, Yuan Yao gradually relaxed.

Just as Yuan Yao left, Deng Dang suddenly whispered: "Young Master, should I recommend someone to go north with your son to fight against the Yellow Turbans, I wonder if it is possible?"

"Who?"

Seeing Deng Dang's look of anticipation, Yuan Yao couldn't bear to refuse, so he asked.

"Young Master, this person is only over 17 years old this year. He is a year younger than his son. His surname is Lu, his name is Meng, and he is from Fupi in Runan."

"Last year, crossing the Huai River south to join me, was my wife's younger brother. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is quite brave. He has been pestering me that he wants to go into battle and kill the enemy and make meritorious."

"The young master happened to have a northward journey to pacify the Yellow Turban thief. I wonder if he would take him with him and let him experience it?"

Slowly finished speaking.

Deng Dang slowly introduced and recommended.

When he finished speaking, Yuan Yao slapped his forehead and realized that Lu Meng and Deng Dang were close relatives.

"Since I am the general who recommends it, I can trust you."

After saying that, Yuan Yao pondered: "General Deng, please let Lu Meng come to meet me first, okay?"

"Thank you for your respect. You should thank your brother for your great kindness and virtue first, but you have no way to repay me. You have to stick to Liyang, fight back against the invading enemy, and repay the prince with all your rewards."

Seeing Yuan Yao full of joy and not showing any refusal, Deng Dang's heart was instantly boiling.

...

Liyang Prefecture.

At this moment, a person who is only over 17 years old, eight feet tall, has a little restrained face, and has extremely obvious muscles in his arms. It is obvious that he is a person who has been practicing martial arts all year round.

This person is his younger brother Lu Meng, elected by Deng Dang.

Seeing his honest expression, Yuan Yao was in the throne and couldn't help but smile: "Lu Meng, your brother-in-law recommends you to go north with the army and I to fight against the chaos. I wonder if you are afraid of blood splashing?"

Yuan Yao slowly examined Lu Meng's words and deeds.

This is also a forced solution.

Since Lu Meng in the original history was just a martial artist at first, he had no strategy in his chest, and his real transformation came from Sun Quan's encouragement to learn.

From then on, Lu Meng's military strategy, his ability to control soldiers and other aspects gradually grew, and he finally completed a counterattack, helping the Sun family to occupy the counties of Jingxiang.

"Young Master, Meng admires military life since childhood. This time he will definitely follow the young master to kill the thief and make contributions, and he will never take a step back."

After saying that, the young Lu Meng replied seriously, without any fear or timidity in his words.

"good!"

"Lu Meng, that young master will temporarily arrange it in the personal guard camp and be under the command of Xu Chu. When the achievements are made, he will be enthroned."

...

One or two days later.

In Liyang, after completing the defense handover with Deng Dang, Fang Yuanyao had just joined the main army and rushed north along the waterway to Shouchun.

When he arrived at Shouchun, Yuan Yao ordered his troops to temporarily station in the suburbs of the city, and he went to the city alone to pay homage to his father.

In Yuan Mansion.

Yuan Shu, Yuan Yao and his son met and exchanged some greetings. Then Yuan Yao went straight to the point and said, "Father, you have carefully read the letter you wrote."

"Whether there are any signs of conscripts and signs of the Yellow Turban Rebels in Runan? How much information does our army have in place at present?"

In the war, the most important thing is naturally the intelligence issue.

Therefore, although the situation in Runan Yidong became increasingly difficult to control, for the sake of stability, he went to the city first to consult the detailed battle report.

As the saying goes, "If you know yourself and your enemy, you will be able to win a hundred battles."

Since Yuan Yao coordinated the army, he has always studied military books and war strategies, and asked and discussed with his aide Cui Zhouping. He also had an active mind and was often able to learn from one example.

In recent days, he has also made great progress.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu took a sip of tea and replied in a deep voice: "Yaoer, the news about the Yellow Turban thieves has not yet received much reliable information. Even if it is the news that the bandits intend to rebel, it is because Zhou Cang, the leader of the Yellow Turban thief, is willing to join our army, which has caused the war report to be received by our army."

"But according to the news provided by Zhou Cang two days ago, if nothing unexpected happens, the Yellow Turban thieves Liu Pi, Gong Du and other troops should be divided into troops from the base camp Ruyin to plunder nearby areas, and then approach the central part of Runan again to threaten the location of our Yuan family's ancestral home, Ruyang."

Speaking of this, Yuan Shu paused a little and said, "So, according to my father's opinion, Yao'er, after you bring your people north to Runan, you should first station troops in Ruyang to prevent the Yellow Turban bandits from defeating the defense of Ruyang, causing heavy losses to our Yuan family."

"After stationed in Ruyang, Yaoer can send envoys to contact Zhou Cang to try to find out whether it is conducive to defeating the Yellow Turban Army."

With a lot of words, Yuan Shu slowly told his son.

After saying that, Yuan Yaozheng nodded and bowed his hand to respond: "Don't worry, father, the child knows how to make a decision. This time, he will destroy the Yellow Turban thieves in one fell swoop to completely eliminate the disaster of Runan."

"Okay, Yao'er has such ambition, and I am very comforted to my father!"

"That is the father who will wait for your good news to come in Shouchun."

"I will definitely live up to my father's expectations."

After a while, Yuan Yao bowed solemnly and said.

Following closely behind, the later general Yuan Shu and his civil and military personnel together sent Yuan's main force to set off for Runan to suppress the rebellion.

At this moment, there are crowds of people at the gate of Shouchun City.

After hearing that Yuan's army went north to quell the rebellion, the people also came to see him off spontaneously.

Since the Yuan army pacified Shouchun and the entire Jiujiang area, under Yuan Yao's advice, Yuan Shu has appointed a large number of honest people as officials and dismissed a large number of corrupt people.

In just a short period of time, the public security in Jiujiang County was in a good position.

The lives of all people are also thriving.

Compared with the taxes between them in the past, the officials who were embezzled were infinitely exploited, but now they are gone, wouldn’t everyone be happy?

The Yuan family naturally easily gained the hearts of the people in Jiujiang County, and the Yuan army's reputation was gradually spreading towards the surrounding areas and counties in Jiangbei.

Therefore, the people also hoped to quell the Yellow Turban thieves in their hearts, and they couldn't help but come to see the king's father spontaneously.

On the flat road in the north, each of the Yuan army formed a formation, holding heavy weapons such as long spears and spears, and was equipped with close-fitting fighting weapons such as swords and swords.

I saw a group of Yuan soldiers walking extremely firm steps, showing a determined look on their faces, as if they were full of heroic expressions of "a hero who never returns."

Amid the warm welcomes, Yuan Jun'erlang gradually became farther and farther away from the outline of Shouchun City, and his back became more and more blurred until he disappeared into the vast road.

Due to an emergency, Yuan Yao and his troops accelerated their marching speed and marched quickly by twice the road.

Cross the Huai River and enter Runan.
