Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 63 Zhang Miao: The advantage lies with me!
The current commander of the Royal Guard Battalion is Gao Shun, but given Gao Shun's ability, it is a waste of his talent to just let him be the commander of the Royal Guard Battalion.

Ji Qiu will release him sooner or later and lead the army on his own.

But there must be someone in charge in the Royal Guard Camp.

It’s better to give it to Dian Wei.

This was the commander of Prime Minister Cao's personal guard in history, who saved Boss Cao's life in Wancheng.

I think he must be able to do this position very well.

Of course, letting Dian Wei become the commander of the Royal Guard Battalion and take charge of the Royal Guard Battalion is a long-term plan for the future.

At present, Dian Wei is a newcomer after all, and his previous status is too low. If he is suddenly promoted to the position of commander of the Royal Guard Battalion, not to mention that he has no idea about the situation, he cannot adapt to the position immediately.

Even if he could adapt, this extraordinary promotion would not be a good thing for him or his other subordinates.

The healthy development of a force depends on a complete system.

And the act of making extraordinary promotions is itself a destruction of the existing system.

It’s okay to use it occasionally, but it must not be abused!

Therefore, let him gain experience as a deputy general for a while.

Fortunately, for Dian Wei at the moment, even if he was just appointed as the deputy general of the Royal Guard Battalion, it would already be a great grace.

Dian Wei immediately knelt on the ground, thanking the emperor with a joyful expression, "I obey your orders, my lord. Please rest assured that I will not let you down and will definitely complete the task you have assigned me!"

……

At the same time, in the prefectural government office in Chenliu City.

Just when Dian Wei was appointed as the deputy general of the personal guard camp by Ji Qiu and was happily taking up the post, Zhang Miao also received the news that Ji Qiu had poached his personal army soldier Dian Wei.

When Zhang Miao heard the news, he was angry at first, but then he was happy.

He was angry because Ji Qiu poached Dian Wei without even saying hello.

This was undoubtedly a provocation to him.

Although he did not value Dian Wei, Dian Wei was his man after all.

He can use it, but others can’t dig it!

Of course, he would not reflect on the fact that he was the one who humiliated Ji Qiu first.

In his opinion, isn't it natural for a poor boy like Ji Qiu, who was lucky enough to be scolded and insulted by a famous scholar and gentleman like him?
After being scolded by him, Ji Qiu should have come to him with a sincere apology and asked him to calm down.

Not only did he not apologize, but he also dared to make targeted provocations?

It’s really contrary to Tiangang!

As for the joy that followed, it was because he was originally looking for an excuse to teach Ji Qiu a lesson.

When Ji Qiu came to visit him, he instructed the doorman to provoke Ji Qiu and try to anger him.

Unfortunately, it didn't work, and Ji Qiu managed to escape.

I originally thought that the idea of ​​teaching Ji Qiu a lesson would not be achieved.

But I didn't expect Ji Qiu to come up with an excuse again.

This is really a case of him refusing to take the road to heaven and rushing into hell without a door!

Zhang Miao couldn't help but laugh loudly and said, "Ji Qiu, little boy, let's see how you die this time!"

"What you said is exactly right. Ji Qiu is dead this time!"

"Ming sir, be blessed with great fortune. Ji Qiu, that little brat, is offering himself as evidence and courting his own destruction!"

"After this battle, you will surely be highly valued by Lord Situ!"

The several retainers surrounding him all offered him endless flattery.

Like Zhang Miao, they all thought this was a godsend opportunity.

Able to destroy Ji Qiu's army with completely reasonable reasons.

Well, just destroy Ji Qiu’s army.

After all, Ji Qiu was the Taishan County Magistrate appointed by Liu Hong himself.

We still have to give Liu Hong some face.

So let's save Ji Qiu's life. But as long as his army is destroyed, what else can he do in Taishan County?

Like the previous county lieutenant, dying at the hands of the Yellow Turbans in Mount Tai is already the best ending for him!
Zhang Miao, who completes this task, will surely receive a generous reward from Yuan Wei!
Just the one thing they all seemed to ignore.

The question is whether they can eliminate Ji Qiu?

In fact, it cannot be said to be ignored.

Although Zhang Miao was a famous official and his ability to govern the army and maintain public order was average, he was not a complete fool.

So he really thought about this matter.

Then he thought, this shouldn't be a problem.

He thought about comparing his pros and cons with Ji Qiu.

He has three wins and Ji Qiu has three losses.

First, he was fighting on his home turf and had the support of local powerful families.

Ji Qiu was fighting as a guest army, alone, without any backup or support.

Second, his personal soldiers were all recruited from good families in Chenliu.

Chenliu is a martial arts country, and almost all the good family boys here practice martial arts, so the foundation of the royal army soldiers is very strong.

In addition, they are well-equipped, well-trained, well-rested and have high morale.

This combat effectiveness is even stronger.

Ji Qiu had only three thousand soldiers and horses, and it was said that the soldiers were mainly from the wanderers in Luoyang City.

What kind of fighting power can those street rangers have? I’m afraid they can’t even get enough food every day!
Moreover, they came from a long distance and were exhausted, so their fighting capacity was even lower!

Third, he came from a noble family and had studied military tactics since childhood, so he was very proficient in the art of war.

Ji Qiu was a child from a poor family with no inheritance in his family, so how could he know how to use troops?
Although I heard that he had some small victories in Luoyang, he only wiped out a few rebels.

It must be the strong attacking the weak, and it is obtained by luck, which does not count.

With this analysis of three wins and three losses, Zhang Miao believes that he has the advantage and will definitely win this battle!

So he immediately sent out an order: "Come here, tell Zhang Tao to send the personal troops to fight and completely destroy Ji Qiu's camp outside the city!"

Zhang Tao was Zhang Miao's cousin. He was good at flattery and won Zhang Miao's favor, so he was appointed as the commander of Zhang Miao's personal army.

Among Zhang Miao's 5,000-man personal army, not only was the chief commander his cousin, but more than half of the other officers at all levels were from his clansmen.

The famous officials who came from aristocratic families either appointed members of their own family or children of other aristocratic families to form their armies.

This is the norm.

As Zhang Miao gave the order, the gate of Chenliu City rumbled open, and five thousand personal soldiers walked out of the city.

At this time, Ji Qiu had just settled Dian Wei.

Xi Zhong hurried over and said happily, "My lord, Zhang Miao's personal troops have left the city!"

"You, please be more restrained. Are you so happy just because Zhang Miao's personal army left the city?" Ji Qiu pointed at Xi Zhong and teased.

Zhang Miao thought he had caught Ji Qiu's handle and wanted to give Ji Qiu a thundering blow.

Little did he know that all his actions were predicted by Ji Qiu and Xi Zhong.

It can even be said that he made this decision because of the deliberate guidance of these two people!

Xi Zhong had the secret art of star deduction. How could he not know that recruiting Dian Wei would only lead to Zhang Miao taking advantage of the situation when Zhang Miao was already looking for an opportunity and excuse?

But he knew it, but still did it.

He even volunteered to do it himself!
He just wanted to lure Zhang Miao out.

Generally speaking, a good hunter first appears in the form of prey.

Zhang Miao had his eyes on Ji Qiu, but he didn't know that Ji Qiu had also his eyes on him.

Even if we ignore their grudges from yesterday, Zhang Miao's personal army alone is worth Ji Qiu's effort.

Xi Zhong laughed and said, "Zhang Miao's personal army is incredibly wealthy, and all of them are equipped with Xiliang horses. Isn't that something your lord would be envious of?"
