"The spirit of the contract? The way of the republic? Jia Xu didn't have any interest in the changes on the battlefield, he knew that Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu would inevitably lose, and if they were lucky, they might leave here. But there was something in the other party's password that he didn't know.

Jia Xu silently watched the changes on the battlefield. He now knows that those who are fighting sharply are the Red Turban Army, and the Red Turban Army is composed of two major departments, one part is the so-called main force, and their establishment is also different, using the so-called company platoon, and the other part, that is, those so-called militias, are to seize this part of themselves, they seem to be very weak in combat ability, but if they are organized, they are also a large military force. The existence of such a military force is also terrifying.

"The mobilization here is so extensive, and it is said that the defeat of the two generals is in the past." Jia Xu thought secretly. It's just that what he doesn't know is why this Red Turban Army is looking for a scholar like himself, with such questions. He followed militiamen like Yang Laosan into the core area of the battlefield.

At this time, the entire battlefield of Chenzhuang was full of prisoners who were escorted. Their weapons, armor, were taken away and then pooled for education.

The so-called education is very peculiar. That is, to say some bad things that are missing from the government, and then explain some big truths, such as the words of the government forcing the people to rebel, some Jia Xu still can't understand it.

Shang Wu's command returned to Chenzhuang again, and Shang Wu was directing the personnel to clean up the battlefield.

"The people have to compensate for the damaged things, and look at the casualties, for the dead, we have to give pensions, and the injured should be sent to the hospital for treatment." Shang Wu arranged to.

"It's compensation. Sir. Little Beans recorded.

"That's how it is to fight, those explosive weapons, explosions everywhere, it is natural to do such things." Shang Wu said.

"These are the things to do." Shang Wu said.

"Yes, sir." Little Beans recorded.

"Tell me about the results, shall we?" Shangwu asked.

"Sir, our losses this time are not very large, there are no casualties, most of them are slightly injured, the other side has more casualties, and they are more scattered, we only captured more than 1,200 people, and many people escaped. Neither did the main generals. Little Beans reported. The officers they captured were all junior officers, and none of the senior generals were any. This annoyed them.

"Who is leading the other party's march?" Shang Wu asked about the specifics.

"After the captives confessed, it was a military general named Dong Zhuo who led them forward, as if he was a lieutenant general." Little Beans reported.

"It's a pity that when they entered Chenzhuang, they ran away. Therefore, we can't find it, most of our militia are gathered here, and in the process of eviction, we will encounter some special circumstances, so in this case, they will run away. We can't help it. Little Beans said.

"It seems that we will have to summarize and see if there is anything we can add to the situation." Shang Wu said. After all, this is also a kind of sports warfare, and it is very good to be able to have such a result.

"Sir, those officers?" Little Bean asked.

"According to the old rules, those who are willing to stay, make up, and if they are not willing to stay, give them some dry food, and let them walk away by themselves." Shang Wu said. In this battle, they captured a bit richer. There were more than seven or eight horses among them, so that they could form their own cavalry regiments. There is also a lot of armor, because the opponent is an elite army, and the equipment is also very sufficient, and there are a lot of weapons. These are important iron resources, as well as bronze resources.

"Report sir. Yang Laosan, the captain of the Yangzhuang militia, came to report. Yang Laosan reported excitedly. One of the guards smiled. Because the etiquette of the other party is very standardized. The norm made him feel a little funny.

"Don't be nervous." Shang Wu smiled and motioned for the other party to relax.

"In this battle, I would like to thank you Yangzhuang militia team for coming to support, and I will send them a trophy back, by the way. Give them some farming tools and produce more. Shang Wu turned back to Xiaodouzi and said.

"Sir, sir, we don't want those farm tools, we want some weapons, we also want to fight the officers and soldiers, and we want to fight the yellow turban thieves." Yang Laosan said excitedly.

"Hehe, that's fine." Shang Wu said with a smile.

"That's right. Sir, we caught a scholar on the way here, so you can take a look. "Yang Laosan's main purpose here is to report this matter, and he hopes that through such a thing, his desire to enter the Red Turban Army can be realized.

"Oh." Shang Wu felt a little surprised, he didn't expect that the other party would be able to capture a scholar, which was obviously beyond his expectations.

"Well, the sir, is there." Yang Laosan excitedly guided Shangwu. Shangwu hurried over, no matter who the other party was, Shangwu needed people with knowledge, and there was no way to cultivate it too slowly. Reading books can teach them a great deal of knowledge.

"Sir is guilty." Shang Wu stepped forward quickly. A bow with both hands. It's a salute.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Jia is just a scholar, passing by here, I don't want to, I encountered a war." Jia Xu said. He felt that there was something strange everywhere in these places. He found that Chenzhuang was the last place to eliminate the official army, but he really couldn't figure out why the official army was defeated in Chenzhuang, and how did the other party do this? Not only that, but there were many strange questions for him to explore.

"There are some things that need to be left behind, we lack some teaching gentlemen here, I hope Sir can teach us some one or two, most of our students are some village farmers, women, children, it may be a little troublesome to learn. I also hope that the gentleman will stay. Shang Wu hopes that the other party can understand this.

"Little things, little things. Jia is willing to stay. Jia Xu decided to stay here to see what was strange here. A lot of quirky places must reveal something different. In this way, the first meeting between Shangwu and Jia Xu passed like this. Jia Xu did not reveal his identity, and Shangwu did not pursue it, after all, such a thing, Shangwu thought it was a trivial matter.

After Jia Xu stayed, he came to the place where the prisoners of war gathered, he was not worried about those prisoners of war recognizing, after all, he was just a scholar, and if he recognized it, if the other party needed him, he would naturally come, everything was casual, and it was like Jiang Taigong fishing. Those who wish take the bait.

In fact, Shang Wu really didn't know Jia Xu, although he knew a lot of classic battles and studied the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms, but there were many characters in the Three Kingdoms, and he really knew relatively little. He is a person who knows the classic war examples in ancient and modern China and abroad, but he has not studied too much in terms of characters, Jia Xu's name may be familiar to him, but it is only familiar, because he is unlikely to know the important role of the other party in history. It may take time to move further.

"Sir, after this battle, we are really poor." Ergou said when he met Shangwu after the battle.

"The chief said that this battle is over. We really can't get by. Ergou said in great distress. Then he took out the account book and handed it to Shang Wu.

The food is exhausted. **The reserves are all empty. Although the troops below still have some stocks, the problem is that their logistics are completely unsustainable. The whole war has completely depleted them.

"It looks like we have to issue bonds." Shang Wu said. The bond must first be printed, which is not a big problem, and the engraving is already being engraved. In addition to these, there is also ink, and ink is the key, and even, Shangwu plans to add some three-color overprinting methods, because only in this way can the security of his bonds be further improved.

The ink may seem difficult, but it is actually quite simple, because there is an important ingredient in it that can be extracted now, starch. No one would have imagined that starch would be a key binder. I'm afraid they won't even be able to figure out this secret themselves. Just do it.

"Da-da-da-da." Just then, there was the sound of horses' hooves. Little Beanzi jumped off the horse extremely nervously.

"Sir, look at this. Intelligence from Luoyang. Xiaodouzi excitedly handed over the information to Shang Wu, and Shang Wu quickly opened it, maybe Zuo Feng could bring some good news.

"Hahaha." Shang Wu laughed out loud after seeing it.

"Great. That's great. Shang Wu laughed.

"Sir, what are you so stingy?" Little Bean asked.

"Hehe, it's Zuo Feng, I gave him some fireworks last time, but I didn't expect that this guy was actually dedicated to their Emperor Majesty, and as a result, their Emperor Majesty liked it very much and needed more fireworks. They are willing to purchase at a high price, so that our fireworks can be regarded as the first order. Shang Wu said.

"Sir, this." Little Beans couldn't believe that their chief had sold the fireworks.

"Don't worry, we have our own military weapons, with this fund, we can do a lot of things, besides, we have a lot of new ones being studied, you don't have to worry about these, the problem is, without such a fund, we can't turn around at all." Shang Wu put the order away as he spoke, he was going to hand it over to Ergou, didn't he say that there was no money? The money will come right away. This is the order that Shangwu needs the most, and it would be better if he could join forces with other troops and solve all the problems. Shang Wu thought for a moment and said. For example, doing business with the Yellow Turbans, this might be a good idea.
