West bank of the Yellow River.

The sheep and eggs changed their clothes with the large group of prisoners of war, and then they walked across the iron pontoon bridge. Then they were placed on the west bank of the Yellow River. Then they either sit down, or lie down, in short, in a state of listlessness.

"The IRA won't kill us, will they?" A soldier asked, sitting on the ground worriedly.

". If I had killed him, I would have killed him a long time ago. Don't tie us up yet. Moreover, you can also eat dumplings, which are still minced with meat. Sheep Egg said. He is from the state of Merge. But this is the Hedong Army, and most of the Hedong Army is from Sili. Because most of the troops were recruited there, whether it was a war, most of the auxiliary personnel were from there, and Yang Dan was a foreigner.

Sheep Egg is just his nickname. I just know that his surname is Yang, but no one knows the specific name, and most people don't pay much attention to such a problem. They used to use nicknames, because in this big era, no one will remember the name of a small person.

But the little people also have their own worries, for example, their lives. The IRA seems to have been too good for them. The wounded ones came back one after another. Like sprains, or minor injuries from some trauma, they were sent back. They were treated and then sent back. This was a great stimulus for the Hedong Army.

The excitement is still to come, and they eat well. But the management is very strict, and the toilet must be in the designated position, and at the same time, it is necessary to shout a report. Count the number of people every time. This made them very uncomfortable.

However, the advantage is that the treatment that was not enjoyed in the Hedong Army was enjoyed in the Republican prisoner of war camp. For example, if one of them has a headache and brain fever, he will bring it up and then arrange treatment intensively. Will come back if it's good. If it's not good, you can continue to be treated, and the treatment is not bad, and it is said that there is milk to drink if you are sick. Sweet, it makes a lot of people wish they were sick. It's just that the medicine doesn't taste good, it's too bitter.

If it had been placed in the past, the sick would have been thrown out and waited for death. At first, although they were worried, even opposed, because they thought that the republican army would take the sick out and kill them alive, because this was the best and cheapest way to cure the disease, the outbreak of the plague was extremely terrible, even for the army, and if necessary, the necessary measures could be taken, and those who were quarantined were poor fellows.

In order to dispel their fears, the IRA set up a field hospital next to it, and the wounded knew what a field hospital meant, and they knew that a field hospital would give them a great deal of advantage. That's their most advantageous feature. Fortunately, many people have recovered. This dispelled the doubts of many prisoners of war of the Hedong Army, and among them there were even prisoners of war who were inclined to the Republican Army, who thought that they should join the Republican Army.

Unfortunately, the IRA had a very bad impression of them. Military discipline is corrupt, there are too many small actions, and even, many of them are too lazy, which directly leads to an overall decline in their combat effectiveness. Such a situation is really not a good result for them. So the Republican Army simply threw them to the west bank of the Yellow River, because next, they were going to have a show with Dong Zhuo's army. The Republican Army took the initiative to retreat, and these prisoners of war were their gifts, they would capture such prisoners of war, in fact, Dong Zhuo would have taken these people. Then everything will go towards the most favorable line of defense, and a new confrontation will be formed between the two sides with the Yellow River as the boundary. It's as simple as that. Because of secrecy, the Republican Army did not say anything. But this made the Hedong Army start to think cranky.

"If the Republicans wanted to kill you, they would have killed you. Why wait until now. It's simply impossible. A lot of people say that.

Sheep Dan just listened, he didn't know if the Republican Army would slaughter them, if you look at it according to the previous rules, this is a very possible thing, but the current situation, they don't know, and they don't know, because the Republican Army treats them really well, which gives them a chance. Such an opportunity forced them to consider a lot of practical questions, because if they were to be killed, why would the Republican Army treat their wounds and diseases and give them food, which obviously did not comply with all regulations. Such a situation is simply a huge problem for them.

Dong Zhuo's army was moving rapidly towards the east of the river, but they couldn't do it at all. Thirty miles in one day, and a maximum of sixty miles for cavalry troops. If you want to push more, basically the cavalry will sacrifice a lot. First of all, they must be prepared to have more horses to be replaced.

"My lord, we have made an agreement with the Republican Army, if we can completely open up trade, we can get more than thirty battalions equipped with firearms, they will provide us with greater support, and in addition, we can build ten artillery battalions." Li Dao said to Dong Zhuo in the carriage.

"Well, I've agreed to their terms. As long as such a goal can be achieved, all conditions can be agreed, including what they call it, diplomatic ambassadors, military advisers, etc., I can agree to everything. Dong Zhuo said.

Li Dao was very satisfied, and Dong Zhuo was naturally very satisfied, the reason was very simple, Dong Zhuo wanted to expand his military power in a relatively short period of time. Therefore, as soon as he came up, he put forward a large-scale military expansion plan, thirty infantry battalions equipped with firearms, established according to the combat methods of the Republican Army, thirty is not much, but the cost of firearms equipment is too large. In addition to this, there were ten artillery battalions. Equip at least 180 cannons. Of course, the exact number needs to be further reduced.

But this massive arms expansion is already underway. Dong Zhuo is ambitious. Naturally, his ambitions were great. Only by attaining such a massive ambition can his situation become extremely favorable.

"General, there are still too many requirements for us with such equipment. Are we trying to find a way to add it from somewhere else? "Li Wei is worried about money, and their only way is to borrow money to expand their armaments, and although they have mortgaged most of their taxes, this is still not enough. They still need quite a lot of things.

"This situation still requires a lot of things for us. Have a good talk with the IRA, and if we can't negotiate better, we can make some concessions. Dong Zhuo said.

To expand the armament war, a large amount of military spending is needed to do such a thing, but the problem is that Dong Zhuo does not have such military spending capabilities, and the only way is to borrow money, borrow money from the Republican Army Bank, because they have the money and the ability to do such a thing.

Therefore, Dong Zhuocai said such a thing and talked to them well, in fact, it was to help the Republican Army expand its armament warfare, develop to a greater extent, and solve most of the problems, because only in this way can they completely solve all things.

Li Wei naturally understands this, but this kind of thing is really not easy. He's running back and forth right now. It is precisely in order to do such a thing well, and not everyone can do the thing of arms expansion. Li Wei believes in this.

However, their army was still approaching the east of the river, which was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor. His goal is to merge the state, but Dong Zhuo believes that it is impossible for him to do such a thing.

Fortunately, this time, their recovery of the west bank of the Yellow River was a show, and if they really wanted to fight, they couldn't beat each other at all.

Jingshi, Luoyang.

Emperor Han Ling's condition was stable. But he was too weak. It's hard for him to get off the ground now. There aren't too many hours of talking in a day. This weak man is gradually losing the last control of the country, he is a little unwilling, but there is no way.

"I hope Dong Zhuo can regain the lost ground." Emperor Ling of Han pinned his last hope on Dong Zhuo. The fiasco of the Hedong Army made them go to the last to contain the strength of the republican army, and the security of the Jingshi Luoyang suffered the greatest threat, and the only way was to rely on Dong Zhuo to contain it, so that the threat of the republican army to the Jingshi Luoyang could be reduced. Otherwise, the whole time will suffer a great disaster.

"Your Majesty, take a break." Zhang Rang whispered, and then motioned for Jian Shuo to leave here, His Majesty's body is not as good as before, and the medicine of the tiger and wolf has hollowed out the last of some essence, in fact, these are the results of tossing himself.

Emperor Han Ling nodded helplessly, because he had to do this, his body was not as good as before, which he knew very well, and at the same time, he himself could not control such a situation. The empire is entering a critical period of change.

Cao Cao's residence. Cao Cao could only judge the development of the situation by relying on the news obtained from newspapers and limited letters.

"Dong Zhuo is an ambitious person, and he won't fight too much at all." Cao Cao said.

"I also think so, after all, such a situation, let Dong Zhuo and the Republican Army fight wildly, it will seriously damage their military strength, but how can we avoid such a situation?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"Hehe, acting. The Republican Army, which I know, every unit conducts exercises in addition to combat missions, and they are constantly practicing how to fight. And this reconquest operation, I think, most of them should be able to do something like this, and they will become the same thing as acting to solve such a problem. Cao Cao said.

"This." It's the first time Xi Zhicai has encountered such a thing.

"There is no way. They will definitely do it. Cao Cao said.
