Command on the battlefield is a very complicated matter with a very high delay. Suppose the left-wing infantry is rushed by cavalry and can no longer hold on, the messenger has to ride for five minutes to get to the central army tent. The commander will think for a while and then issue a new order, asking the messenger to ride back to the left front line after another five minutes to convey the commander's will.
In other words, the orders on the ancient battlefield could not be like those in real-time strategy games, where the troops would start moving with a click of the mouse. It was normal for there to be a delay of five or six minutes between issuing an order and the soldiers executing it. If it was a large-scale battle involving hundreds of thousands of people and a battlefield spanning several kilometers, it was possible for the delay to be as long as half an hour.
However, Guo Huai's Tianwen can directly make a psychic call to the front-line commander, reducing the delay time of communication command from ten minutes to just three seconds required for casting!
This is still used on the battlefield. If Guo Huai is willing, even if she is in Jingxing now, she can use psychic communication to call Hedong thousands of miles away to inquire about the situation there.
With this ability, it is no surprise that she was able to make detailed plans, consult Qin Yong, and even block Zhuge Liang's sneak attack in the future.
The only weakness of this dragon blood talent is that only Guo Huai himself can initiate communication. Others can only wait and cannot actively ask Guo Huai. The intensity of communication is directly proportional to the intensity of the individual's work.
Under Guo Huai's command, the huge Han army obeyed her command as if it were their own arm, launching wave after wave of extremely fierce attacks on Jingxing! Zhang Yan found that her command could not keep up with the speed of Guo Huai's mobilization. She could always find her weaknesses and launch an attack at the fastest speed. In commanding the army, she was always half a beat slower than Guo Huai, one step slower, and she could not keep up with the rhythm of the Han army at all, and was beaten back step by step.
Under Guo Huai's command, the Han army's offensive was as fierce as a ghost, and they were unable to defend themselves! They were completely outgunned by Guo Huai at the tactical level!
Zhang Yan could have held out longer. After all, no matter how strong Guo Huai's command was, or how strong Lu Bu's individual combat power was, he would not be able to fly. He had air superiority, and Jingxing's geographical location and the degree of protection of the city walls were really good.
But when she found out that the Murong Xianbei were stuck in the Pingcheng Basin and had no way of going south to support her, their morale collapsed in despair.
Zhang Yan knew that no matter what he did, he was just struggling in his death throes. No matter how long he held on, one month or half a year, Jingxing was doomed to fall. There was no point in dragging it out. Murong Xianbei could no longer save him, and the Han army would not withdraw its troops to rescue the north. They would fight him to the death.
The people in the city had long remained neutral in the face of Liu Zhuang's attack. Facing the attack from the Bingzhou military households, they were far from being as determined to fight to the death as they were when facing the attack from the Jizhou aristocratic families.
Therefore, on December 15th of the fifth year of Zhongping, Zhang Yan abandoned Jingxing with his army, completely gave up the plan to attack Taiyuan, and hurriedly fled back to the borders of Jizhou and Youzhou with his remaining troops, trying to stay as far away from Liu Zhuang and his gang as possible.
At this point, Jingxing, the eastern gate of Bingzhou, completely belonged to Liu Zhuang.
Chapter 198: The Battle of the
After capturing Jingxing, Guo Huai immediately contacted Liu Zhuang who was far away in Yanmen Pass. Now that the New Year was approaching, all the assembled soldiers were disbanded and went home to celebrate the New Year, fulfilling Liu Zhuang's promise to all soldiers to end the war before New Year's Eve and go home to celebrate the New Year. On January 16th of the next year, these soldiers would be mobilized for a month of winter military exercises, and then prepare for spring plowing in March.
This autumn counterattack against the Montenegrin Army ended with a complete victory in Liuzhuang.
The Northern Army captured the Qin people and evacuated the people of Yinguan and Loufan back to the safety of the inland.
The central army captured the three cities of Guangmu, Shangai and Jingxing.
The situation of the southern army was a little more complicated. Lu Bu and Zhang Yang took down the two cities of Zhan County and Leping together, and participated in the final Battle of Jingxing. After the two of them made a plan, Zhan County would belong to Zhang Yang, and Leping would belong to Lu Bu.
Therefore, in this autumn counterattack, Liu Zhuang captured five cities and fortresses in one go. The population of Yanmen County increased by an additional two thousand households, and the population of Taiyuan County increased by an additional ten thousand households: some were taken from the Black Mountain Army, and the residents near the fortresses such as Jingxing and Shangai, who were theoretically considered people from Jizhou, were now considered people from Bingzhou.
Liu Zhuang's act of recovering the lost territory of Jizhou moved the governor of Jizhou.
However, after Liu Zhuang recovered Shangai and Jingxing, he occupied these places himself and was unwilling to leave. This behavior made the governor of Jizhou very angry, but there was nothing he could do. Liu Zhuang directly wrote a letter to the emperor, appointing the commander of the road army, Guo Huai, as the magistrate of Shangai County, and Guo Huai's younger brother Guo Pei as the magistrate of Jingxing County. He also bribed a group of eunuchs. After gaining actual control of the two places, he also gained legal rule over the two counties.
As for how much it would cost to buy these two county magistrates, according to the old rules, the money for buying an official position is divided into six installments. I will give you one sixth first, and the remaining five installments will be repaid at the autumn harvest in the next five years. I will definitely pay it back, and I will never be a deadbeat.
The garrison here is directly guarded by the Taiyuan aristocratic family army led by Guo Pei and Wang Yan.
Guo Pei was Guo Huai's younger brother from the same father and mother, and was born in the Yangqu Guo family.
Wang Yan is Guo Pei's wife. She was born in the Wang family of Qi County. She is also Wang Yun's niece and Wang Ling's biological sister. Wang Ling is now the county magistrate of Hedong County and the second-in-command of civil affairs, which was Jia Xu's previous position.
Both of them are very outstanding second-generation figures in Taiyuan's aristocratic families, and they are even married. It is perfect for them to lead Taiyuan's aristocratic family army and guard this place.
First of all, the combat effectiveness of the Taiyuan aristocratic family army is not weak. It can even be said that because of the long-term residents of Bingzhou frontier with tough folk customs, they are obviously stronger than the aristocratic families in other places. The two of them are also the best among the second generation of aristocratic families.
Secondly, the couple had no reason to betray Liu Zhuang. After Guo Huai gave birth to Liu Zhuang's child, the interests of the Liu and Guo families were completely tied together. They were all relatives with blood thicker than water. Besides, if the two gave up Jingxing, the first to be attacked would be the Guo and Wang families' foundations, not Liu Zhuang's Hedong County further away.
Finally, your family occupies so many people and does not have to pay taxes. Can you also share my defense pressure?
After sending Guo Pei and Wang Yan to guard Jingxing with the Taiyuan aristocratic army and seal the east gate, Liu Zhuang continued to fight with Murong Xianbei in the north. Even during the New Year, when the conscripted laborers all went home to celebrate the New Year, he personally led 2,400 personal soldiers to block the unfinished Yanmen Pass and refused to retreat. All the soldiers who guarded here during the New Year were paid ten times their salary.
Seeing that there was a large amount of money to be made and the prefect himself was on the front line, the two thousand plus soldiers had no complaints. They continued to follow Liu Zhuang to defend Yanmen, and repelled several shameless sneak attacks launched by Murong Xianbei during the New Year, completely cutting off Murong Jun's idea of using Liu Zhuang to gain military merits for his daughter.
After the New Year, the corvées once again gathered in large numbers at the foot of Yanmen Pass and began to repair this extremely dangerous and magnificent pass. Others helped the people who retreated from Yinguan to burn down the forests and open up new fields.
At this moment, the gears of time have turned to the fateful sixth year of Zhongping.
Spring is coming soon, and the Han people must hurry up to start spring ploughing. The importance of spring ploughing to agricultural civilization is self-evident.
The Murong Xianbei were unwilling to fight either. The cattle, sheep and horses had been eating hay in the barn for a whole winter and were all starving. All of them had lost their fat. In addition, spring was the estrus and mating season for sheep, and everyone was busy grazing to fatten the livestock, and then to mate and give birth. Who had time to fight?
Last year's invasion of Yanmen County during the spring plowing season was because the Murong Xianbei could, by plundering the Han people's wealth, pass on the huge losses caused by not grazing and breeding their cattle and sheep in the spring.
This year you asked us not to graze the cattle and sheep, but to follow you on a 50-kilometer mountain road to fight the mighty and majestic Yanmen Pass, which is already half completed?! Don’t let my cattle and sheep starve to death before we get anything by then!!!
If we want to fight, we should do it in the autumn after the cattle, sheep and horses are fat and strong!
Therefore, in the spring of the sixth year of Zhongping, both the Han and the Hu people fell into a busy calm, busy with production and development, and the two sides temporarily restored peace.

Chapter 199: Ever-changing
Seeing that the war was over, Liu Zhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. In March, he took some time out from his busy schedule to marry Gao Huan as his concubine, fulfilling his previous promise.
This succubus is simply an annoying little goblin. Not only is she familiar with all kinds of normal books like Jia Xu and Guo Huai, she has also collected a bunch of irregular books. She has only had practical experience once, but her theoretical experience is frighteningly rich. Last time she had horse sex, this time she wants to have air sex.
On the wedding night, under the cover of darkness, Gao Huan's charming face was heavily made up, her sexy body was covered with a phoenix crown and a bridal robe. She couldn't wait to lift up her bright red wedding dress embroidered with gold, gradually exposing her snow-white and delicate feet, slender ankles, round and long legs, and even her pink and tender valley when she was naked, to Liu Zhuang.
Then, she gently bit the edge of her skirt with her alluring red lips, so that the wedding dress, which was lifted up high and exposed a lot of alluring spring scenery, would never come down. She stayed in this coquettish and revealing state and gently hugged Liu Zhuang.
Liu Zhuang and Murong Xianbei had been in a stalemate for the entire winter, and they really needed to vent at this moment. He hugged Gao Huan tightly, one hand around her slender waist and the other hand holding her plump and firm buttocks. The long spear that had been erected for a long time slid into the valley among the mountains with almost no hindrance.
The body of this succubus was extremely hot. Not only was it scorching hot, but as she saw the spear thrust into her, thousands of wrinkles on her skin even trembled as her body shook, grinding every inch of the spear and continuously sucking it in, as if she wanted to suck the spear, and even Liu Zhuang's entire body, into her.
Gao Huan wrapped his arms around Liu Zhuang's neck, and his two beautiful legs crossed and wrapped around Liu Zhuang's sturdy waist. The delicate succubus, meters tall, was hanging directly on Liu Zhuang's tall body that was more than 2 meters tall. Even the succubus's dragon tail was like a poisonous snake, entwining Liu Zhuang's thighs layer by layer.
Then, a pair of wings as black as night spread out, and she flew high into the sky holding Liu Zhuang!
At high altitude, his legs had no fulcrum and he could not exert force, so Liu Zhuang held Gao Huan's soft and tender buttocks like peaches with both hands, lifting it high up again and again, and putting it down heavily again and again. The long spear under his crotch first left the valley with a series of obscene water lines and the sound of flesh and water splashes, and then he watched Gao Huan fall back onto the long spear under the action of gravity.
The pink and attractive little mouth below swallowed the long spear completely, and the tip of the spear pierced the center of the flower fiercely, making Gao Huan scream in the night! Every time he fell heavily into the long spear, waves of happiness would quickly spread from his lower body to his whole body.
After repeating this several times, not only did she lose her body in the ocean of bliss, but even her brain lost its soul. She remembered nothing except enjoying happiness. She even forgot to flap her wings and plummeted downwards into the sky.
The horrifying feeling of weightlessness instantly awakened Gao Huan, who had fainted in ecstasy. She was so frightened that she flapped her wings again in a panic to regain her balance in the sky. Then she lost her soul again in the next round of attacks and fell down once again. Then she woke up from her fear again and flapped her wings again. She switched back and forth between happiness and fear. The extreme emotions made her brain tremble. Countless lustful body fluids dripped into the deserted grassland in the air where the two were having sex.
After a while, although Gao Huan still wanted to play, his physical strength had reached its limit and he could no longer fly. He lay on the early spring grassland, resting his head on a pair of black wings, gasping for breath.
Liu Zhuang lifted her soft and delicate legs on his shoulders, lifted her hips and slender waist slightly, and launched a second round of fierce attack on the succubus in front of him on the vast grassland. Gao Huan's eyes were drunk and blurred. Since he wanted to pursue happiness, he naturally had to pursue it to the end and began to display his dragon blood ability.
Tuoba Yun's demon dragon painted skin allows her to transform into any beast at will, or even hybridize between two beasts, but she cannot transform into a human. She can just transform into a tiger, bear or something like that to maximize her combat power.
Gao Huan's ability to change into any humanoid creature at will, even into humanoid monsters such as centaurs and orcs, but she cannot turn into ferocious beasts. Her concealment and deceptiveness are at their best. The two of them are just the opposite.
At this moment, Gao Huan started his own fancy moves. Under Liu Zhuang's powerful output again and again, he first turned into Lu Bu, Guo Huai, and then into Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang and others, which shocked Liu Zhuang greatly. Obviously, it was only Gao Huan who was in trouble, but now he felt like he was using a super big silver gun. The beautiful woman who was pressed under him and was enjoying her love was undergoing drastic changes every minute and every second.
"Husband, why don't we try something exciting? For example, your little attendant, the loyal little dog you put on a collar? The way that little girl looks at you is not innocent."
Gao Huan smiled slightly, and when Liu Zhuang charged, he suddenly changed from Zhang Bao to look like Zhao Yun. Not only did their faces look similar, but their figures were exactly the same. He changed from the curvy Huang Tian Fairy to the slender and graceful Wu Ding Flying Dragon.
Zhao Yun is almost twenty years old at this moment. She has left behind her youthful and tender girlhood. Her serious face, as white and flawless as ice and snow, has become more mature and beautiful. She has also grown taller, but it may be because of her martial arts training since childhood. Her chest was extremely flat at the age of sixteen and it was still extremely flat at the age of twenty. Her slender and charming body looks a little fragile, but it contains explosive power.
Seeing Gao Huan suddenly turned into someone other than his wives and concubines, Liu Zhuang felt a huge stimulation rushing straight to his brain. The long spear also became a little bigger along with his heavy breathing, which made Gao Huan scream with numbness.
"Oh? My dear husband, you are so excited about other women in front of me. I will be jealous."
Gao Huan smiled charmingly and turned into the shape of Xu Huang's busty dragon girl. Her huge and proud figure instantly supported Liu Zhuang up. Before Liu Zhuang could react, the busty dragon girl under her turned into Zhang Liao, who had also just reached adulthood.
It may be because Shanxi has a large number of pastoral areas and people here often eat meat and drink milk. The figures of Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Lu Bu, Guan Yu and other generals from Hedong and Bingzhou are more exaggerated than each other. Zhang Liao is twenty years old, and his breasts have quickly grown from green fruits into a pair of ripe peaches, waiting to be picked.
On the other hand, those people in the traditional farming areas of Jizhou, whether it’s Zhao Yun, Zhang He, or the enemy’s Zhang Yan - well, their breasts are quite cute. Even the three sisters Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang can only be described as medium to small.
Seeing Gao Huan, who was pressed under him, constantly changing his body shape like a magic trick, Liu Zhuang's heartbeat, breathing became more rapid, and the movements of his waist became more violent. The repeated thrusts almost made Gao Huan's soul come out. After she had orgasms several times, her graceful body was as soft as a puddle of water, unable to resist, and could only be taken as he pleased.
In the end, Gao Huan suddenly disappeared from Liu Zhuang's sight. No, she did not disappear, but turned into a very young girl. The suddenly shrunken lower body squeezed Liu Zhuang so tightly that he almost couldn't control himself. When he lowered his head and saw Gao Huan's transformed face clearly, he immediately ejaculated like a torrent. The hot and turbid stream rushed through the tender flower heart and rushed into the Taiyin palace, causing Diao Chan, who was transformed by Gao Huan, to reach an orgasm instantly. Her slender waist spasmed and arched upward, and at the same time, she had a mixture of the girl's youthfulness and the sexy and enchanting face of a fox demon, and she let out bursts of charming gasps and screams that were deep in her bones.
After a round of lovemaking, Liu Zhuang felt that there was some strange sexual switch in his heart, which was turned on by Gao Huan, the charming little goblin.
After returning to the camp, he saw Zhao Yun, who was following him loyally with an energy-storing collar around his neck, Diao Chan, who was throwing herself on him and acting coquettishly, and Zhang Liao, who was reporting his work seriously. His thoughts instantly recalled the erotic scene of Gao Huan turning into them and enjoying himself under him.
Chapter 200: Roman Guards
When the news that Liu Zhuang married Gao Huan as his concubine spread throughout Bingzhou, there was a great shock in the army.
I'm just wondering why Gao Huan is the commander of the Northern Army this time. He must be the deputy of the Lord of the Palace. Zhang Junyi, who has made great military achievements, or Xu Gongming, who has recently emerged, led the Northern Army. It turns out that Gao Huan, a little cousin who has betrayed twice in a row, sold his body! He would rather be a concubine of the Lord of the Palace than climb up!
However, considering that Gao Huan won the battle of Qinren and his record was very good, no one else could say anything - Gao Huan did use a backdoor, but he was indeed capable.
However, Gao Huan's actions also opened up a new idea for everyone.
Liu Fujun was from Dingxiang. He fled back to Yanmen from the occupied area. His parents died early, leaving him alone. It is estimated that his entire clan was killed by the Xianbei people, and he was the only one left in the family.
The only people he can trust are his wife's family.
It was very normal to appoint people based on personal connections in the late Han Dynasty. In such a chaotic world, without blood ties, who would trust you?
Yuan Shao's family was slaughtered by Dong Zhuo, leaving only Yuan Shu. Therefore, Yuan Shao had to appoint his three biological sons and one nephew to manage Youzhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou and Jizhou respectively.
Although this would lead to an extremely brutal battle for succession, there was no other way. If I didn't give these key positions to my own blood relatives, would I give the positions of Youzhou Mu and Qingzhou Mu to Xu You and Guo Tu? Are you kidding me?
The same was true for Cao Cao, but his situation was better. His clan was not massacred by Dong Zhuo, and he had a large number of reliable brothers and sisters, so there was no problem of a war for succession. The commanders-in-chief who were in charge of the military power of Cao Wei were Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan. These were all Cao Cao's clan brothers with close blood ties, each one was more capable in fighting than the other, and they had no inheritance rights, so it would not affect their children's inheritance of the family business.
However, Liu Zhuang's situation was even worse than Yuan Shao's. He would have to wait at least twenty years for his children to grow up; and as for those who traveled through time, they did not even have a clan.
Therefore, he chose the third way: he married crazily and had three concubines. He cultivated his wives and their clans as his own.
At this moment, some women in Liu Zhuang's camp could no longer sit still. Gao Huan used practical actions to point out a new track for them: Sisters, in addition to our military merits on the battlefield, we can also show our skills in bed.
So that's how it is. Because the Lord had no clan, he got married crazily and took concubines. Through marriage, he tied the interests of these families to his own, created a new clan, and made people like Lu Bu, Gao Huan, and Tuoba Yun his most trusted clan members.
Since I'm not married, why can't I try to become a member of the clan of the Lord? Being a concubine is very humiliating, but being the concubine of Lord Liu can make you a commander! You already have this right, so what's wrong with being a concubine? ? ?
My Lord, I don’t want to work hard anymore.
At one time, countless marriage proposal teams trampled down Liu Zhuang's door, leaving Liu Zhuang speechless - please, I agreed because I could see Gao Huan's terrifyingly high intelligence and charm through my pupils, and knew she could be a qualified candidate for the commander-in-chief, not because she slept with me!
Liu Zhuang politely refused one after another and explained the matter of Gao Huan, saying that you have mixed up the cause and effect and it is causing a lot of trouble.
However, it would be very embarrassing if someone came to propose marriage.
That was Zhang Ji, who had been with him since he started his army and was now the commander of his personal troops. He came to propose marriage on behalf of his sister and requested Liu Zhuang to marry his sister and Zhang Liao as a concubine.
Liu Zhuang scratched his head, his thoughts returning to the erotic scene of Gao Huan turning into Zhang Liao and enjoying himself under his crotch, and he nodded in agreement.
In an instant, the information that Liu Zhuang was going to marry Zhang Liao as a concubine spread throughout the camp, and everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
Oh, it’s not that you can become a commander just by sleeping with the Lord, but the Lord’s sexual fetish is being a super capable female general, that’s it.
Zhang Liao had nothing to say about this. In ancient times, there was no breeding ground for free love. Marriage was arranged by parents and matchmakers. It was normal to find someone of equal status to marry first, and then fall in love.
And in Zhang Liao's circle of friends, which man of appropriate age dares to say that he is more successful than Liu Zhuang?
She thought about it and realized that she was almost twenty years old and it would be too late if she didn't get married, so she nodded in agreement.
Others didn't feel anything about Liu Zhuang taking another concubine, but Zhao Yun was furious.
The first time she encountered Liu Zhuang's army, she fought a bloody battle with Zhang Liao. One used Thunder Assault and the other used Instant Teleport. The two girls of similar age, speed, and tactics were like flashes of silver and purple. The fight was hard to tell. Although the misunderstanding was later clarified, they had been competing with each other since then. They wanted to compete in everything to see who was stronger. Their relationship was rather delicate. They were both friends and enemies.
Until now, he was the chief guard of all Han soldiers of Liu Zhuang, and Zhang Liao was the captain in charge of a battalion, and their official positions were still inseparable.
But now, you want to be your husband's wife, and let me stand guard outside your husband's door and listen to you two having sex? Guard you two???
Zhao Yun was extremely furious. What girl doesn't have love in her heart? As the chief of Liu Zhuang's guards, she had followed Liu Zhuang for four years and watched him grow from a Sima of a separate department to a warlord who controlled four counties, making people's lives better bit by bit. It would be a lie to say that she had no interest in Liu Zhuang.
However, she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child and had no idea about this matter. She also didn't know how to express her feelings. She was too kind-hearted and was unwilling to do anything that would embarrass the Lord of the Mansion.
But now I can't care so much. What the hell, Zhang Liao is my mistress? When I want to sleep with the Lord of the Mansion, I have to be fully armed and guard outside the door? Dream on!
The next day, Liu Zhuang and his personal bodyguard Zhao Yun, as usual, patrolled back and forth at the Yanmen Pass which was about to be completed to supervise the construction work of Yanmen Pass. When they walked into a remote street, suddenly a huge force came from behind Liu Zhuang, and directly threw him against the wall!
Liu Zhuang was extremely shocked. How could someone bypass Zhao Yun's alert defense and suddenly attack him? Whose general was this? How could he be so brave?
However, when he came to his senses, he discovered that the person who had attacked him was Zhao Yun. Zilong, who was half a head shorter than him and only meters tall, blushed. He stood on tiptoe, stretched out his arms, and slapped the wall on both sides of his head. He had actually knocked himself against the wall in broad daylight.
Aren't you from Changshan? How come you are the same as the Romans? The duty of the guards is to ensure that no one other than themselves can attack the lord, right?
The two of them were almost sticking together at this moment, and could even hear each other's heartbeats and feel each other's hot breath. After Zhao Yun suddenly did such a bold thing, her snow-white face quickly began to turn red and heat up. She even stuttered when she spoke. Her slender neck, like a swan, was wearing the energy storage necklace given to her by Liu Zhuang. The necklace was forged from silver and white jade, decorating and embellishing her beautiful jade neck.
"I... Lord... this... which one..."
Zhao Yun's beautiful face was as white as ice. Even in such a shy situation, her expression did not change much. However, her cheeks were so red that they seemed to be burning. Proposing in public was still too embarrassing for a traditional Han woman, so it was usually conveyed through a matchmaker or relatives.
She tried several times but just couldn't finish saying such embarrassing words. At this moment, she was anxious and angry, her eyes were misty, and she looked pitiful. At this moment, looking at Zhao Yun's beautiful face, Liu Zhuang recalled the madness of that night with Gao Huan. She turned into Zhao Yun, and under her crotch, she was like Chen Huan. She couldn't help but kiss Zhao Yun's eyes and wiped away her tears.
