Ma Qiang looked at the generals below, thinking about the military strength gathered here.

Here, the cavalry includes Yan Rou's cavalry battalion, Zhao Yun's Beiwei battalion, Tai Shici's Xuanjia battalion, and 2,000 Anton cavalry originally belonging to the Anton Army, totaling about 10,000 cavalry.

Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were the whole army here, and Yan Rou was divided into a part led by Xian Yuyin to go to the Hejian battlefield to fight with Huaxiong.

The infantry generals included Huang Zhong, Pan Feng, Tian Kai, Wang Weng, Sima Ju, Sun Kang, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Guo Yin and other generals, with a total of 50,000 infantry.

That is to say, the main battlefield in Jizhou at this time, even if it does not count the Montenegrin army that is possible, is 100,000 against 60,000.

The reason why Ma Qiang's troops are so small is that on the one hand, the food problem in Qingzhou has not been solved, so that not only did he not recruit troops on a large scale, but let the soldiers of Guan Hai, Xu He and other departments who were originally the Yellow Turban Army unload their armor for the people, on the other hand, Ma Qiang could not concentrate all his forces on the Jizhou battlefield, at this time in Qingzhou, there were actually twenty or thirty thousand soldiers, but they were all guarding on all sides and could not move.

Yuan Shao is different, he doesn't have to leave a single soldier in the local area now, and those scholars who don't want Ma Qiang to enter Jizhou will take the initiative to help him maintain the ruling order, and even take the initiative to spit out his soldiers to Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao can concentrate all his forces to fight Ma Qiang.

This is quite similar to the battle of Guandu in history, in history, Yuan Shao because of his advantage, the four states of Hebei not only did not give Yuan Shao trouble, but sent troops to contribute, on the other hand, Cao Cao's side, Liu Bei captured Xuzhou, Yuzhou Yellow Turban resurrection, Liu Biao harassed the border counties, forced to fight more with less, so that the repeated victories, repeated victories and retreats, almost retreated to Xuchang, and was crushed alive.

Guo Jia continued to speak, "The key to our army's victory in this battle lies in the first battle, and the first battle is crossing the river!" ”

As he spoke, Guo Jia pointed to the boundary bridge and said, "Although the boundary bridge is a stone bridge with a wide bridge deck, it is still too narrow for such a big battle, and our army must build a pontoon bridge for the sergeants to cross the river." ”

Ma Qiang interrupted Guo Jia's words, looked at Yue Yang and said, "Yue Yang, if you can ensure that your engineering battalion is not disturbed, how wide can you build a pontoon bridge in half an hour?" ”

Yue Yang thought for a while and said, "If all the materials are ready, in half an hour, you can build three pontoon bridges with a width of three feet!" ”

Ma Qiang nodded and motioned for Guo Jia to continue.

Guo Jia continued, "Before the battle between General Anton and Yuan Shaojun, it was because the boundary bridge was too narrow and it was difficult for soldiers and horses to travel, so that the cavalry and infantry were separated, and finally they were broken, so our army should give full play to the advantages of our army's excellent armament, step by step, and break the enemy with strength!"

To build a pontoon bridge, on the one hand, it is necessary to have bows and crossbows to cover in the east of the river, and on the other hand, it is necessary to have a strong army in the west of the river to block Yuan Shao's possible attack. ”

Ma Qiang looked at everyone and asked, "Who dares to be the first?" ”

"Yuan Shao almost killed me and Ming Gong, I wanted to kill him for a long time! Please let the last general go first! ”

Ma Qiang saw that it was Pan Feng, nodded and smiled, "Okay, General Pan will be the first to fight!" ”

At this time, Yue Yang stood up and said, "It's just to build a pontoon bridge, why do you need to go first, Brother Xiaoma, you give me some more sergeants, within three days, I promise that not only can the pontoon bridge be built, but also let Yuan Shao lose his troops!" ”

"Yue Yang, there is no joke in the army, don't talk nonsense!" When Guo Yin heard this, he hurriedly wanted to stop Yue Yang, but Yue Yang wiped his nose with his thumb and said, "I just said okay!" I dare to make a military order! But the time starts when I get the supplies ready. ”

Ma Qiang didn't expect Yue Yang to be so active this time, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious, but he still nodded and said, "In this case, you have full authority to build the pontoon bridge, and you can mobilize the whole army!" ”

"No!"

After the meeting, Ma Qiang stopped Yue Yang and asked strangely, "I said Yue Yang, you are not a positive person, why did you take the initiative to fight today?" ”

Yue Yang scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said, "Didn't the lady say before I came, asking me to make some military achievements and prepare for the future?" ”

"What preparation?"

"O marquis! Isn't it true that our Han Dynasty can only be crowned a marquis by military merits? Brother Xiaoma, you see, I now have dolls with Lu Yun, I don't care about myself, anyway, I have Brother Xiaoma to cover you, but what about the doll, what about the doll's doll, I want to make more military achievements, in the future, Brother Xiaoma, you will give me a Hou, give Lu Yun a lady, and then I will give Hou to my doll, and I am worthy of their mother. ”

"I'm not the emperor, where did I get the power to be a marquis? Go, go, go! If the pontoon bridge can't be built, the military order is no joke! ”

"Little Pony, just take a look!"

Seal your wife and son...

Ma Qiang looked at Yue Yang's departing back, and the expression on his face gradually became solemn.

Indeed, it is now the second century AD, not the twentieth century, and it is impossible for me to have the luxury of thinking that these brothers' subordinates are thinking about the liberation of all mankind and the planting of the red flag all over the world.

But if he defeats the Shi clan and cultivates a group of new Shi clans, then what are you tossing about?

But what Yue Yang said is right, who of them will not be a large group of children in the future, let this group of children all go to be farmers and craftsmen, so what are they fighting for life and death.

They don't have the consciousness to liberate all of humanity.

Hey, the problem is still a large group of children, if there are only one or two offspring, it will be much more convenient, even if you give some political resources, you can't become a clan family.

Ma Qiang suddenly understood some of the policies of later generations, perhaps... There is a deeper connotation in that policy.

It seems that after the unification of China in the future, it must be expanded externally, and only by learning from the former Zhou Tianzi can we change the doom of the Chinese millennium spiral dynasty.

But these are all things for the future, what we have to do now is to defeat Yuan Shao, otherwise, not to mention Yueyang's wife Yinzi, the lives of Ma Qiang and others are all a problem.

A few days later

On this day, Yuan Shao had just gotten up when he heard bad news.

There was an abnormal movement in the Qingzhou army on the opposite side.

Yuan Shao came to the Qingshui River with his clothes draped and saw four or five hot air balloons floating on the opposite side, which he was very familiar with.

It was this thing that saved Han Fu.

"Ming Gong, give!" Fu Zhu took out the binoculars and handed them to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao took out the hot air balloon and looked at it, and found that there were also people on the hot air balloon who were looking at him with a telescope.

"There are people on the flying ball holding binoculars to check the reality of our army, and the attack on Qingzhou is coming in the near future."

"Look at the other side, there are sergeants gathering!"

Someone shouted again, Yuan Shao looked down, and sure enough, he saw a sergeant measuring on the ground with something, and a sergeant began to dig the soil, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Since it was by the bridge, it should have been to cross the river.

If you cross the river, you will cross the river, and I will not stop you, what are you doing?

Yuan Shao's plan is still to attack halfway, he is not in a hurry at all, the more time passes, the more his military strength will be, Guo Tu has already arrived at Zhang Yan, and the message is that Zhang Yan really has a grit of teeth against Ma Qiang, just because the Black Mountain Army is not Zhang Yan's alone, so it will take some time.

The longer the time, the more Yuan Shao's military strength will only increase.
