Yang's County, which has gradually recovered the bustle of the past, suddenly put on a solemn atmosphere, and the people in the city who have just seen a new life, at this time, basically everyone is busy, with a slightly frightened and angry mentality, obeying the command of the officials and soldiers, the entire Yang's County is moving.

Yang's County is indeed completely in the hands of Liu Xian, and these people are generally grateful to Liu Xian, and basically most of the people can now be said to be peripheral members of Liulin Village's Liu Mansion, and they are all dependent on Liulin Village's Liu Mansion to have a better livelihood. Therefore, as long as it is Liu Xian's order, they will basically subconsciously and unconditionally obey.

In the notice sent by Wen Shen to the people of Yangshi County, it was specifically indicated that it was Liu Xian's request order from the young master of Liulin Village.

For Yang's County's preparations to welcome the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army. This is also a planned strategy, not to say that this preparation is done in a hurry.

First of all, the government officers and soldiers were first sent to guard the various city gates of Yangshi County, although the city gates were not closed, but from this moment on, the people of Yangshi County were all allowed to enter and not leave. Those who leave the city must have a certificate issued by the government to leave the city, otherwise, they are not allowed to leave the city.

Why? This is mainly because the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army must have sent spies to infiltrate Yang's County. Xu is not allowed to enter or leave, just to completely control Yang's County and prevent some news and intelligence from leaking out of Yang's County. At this time, the attacking Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army could not be let know that Yang County had prepared against them.

Let's put it this way, if the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army knew that Yang County was ready to defend the city and was waiting for them to attack the city, would they still come?

This clearly shows that it is necessary to storm a city that is prepared to defend it, and as long as the stupid people will continue to attack.

In addition, a certain number of government officers and soldiers were also dispatched to set up patrols on some major traffic arteries outside the city. They are mainly dark sentinels, and they mainly observe those passing pedestrians on the main traffic arteries, and if there are suspicious people, they arrest them, especially those who want to leave.

This is to let the people in Yang County begin to prepare for the affairs of defending the city.

How to defend the city? You'll definitely have to prepare a lot of rolling stones. In order to ensure the safety of Yangshi County and prevent the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro from breaking through, it is necessary to make full preparations, which can be related to the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city.

Therefore, even if the people are demolishing the house and taking the beams, it is necessary to take their roof beams and use them as sasswood.

If the men and horses of the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro are killed under the city of Yang's county, then even if they see that Yang's county is prepared, they will definitely be unwilling and will definitely carry out a fierce attack. If Yang County can't block this wave of attacks, then Yang County will be finished, and if that wave of attacks is blocked, then it will be difficult for the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army to threaten Yang County anymore.

This is also a relationship of one boom and then decline.

Therefore, it is necessary to withstand the first wave of attacks of the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army before it is possible to carry out the subsequent plan to defeat the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army.

At the same time, Liu Xian sent those scholars who served him, and used them as if they were propaganda of the military industrial corps. Let them publicize the ferocity of the Yellow Turban Army among the people, and let the people know that once the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army breaks through the wall of Yang County, then all of them will die. If you obey the order and defend the city with the whole people, then it is still possible to defend your own family group.

In addition, the relatively able-bodied people among the people were called on to form a temporary city guard. A total of about 3,000 people were recruited, and then the guards of the landlords and wealthy families in the city were forcibly recruited, including the guards of the former county commander Yang Jie, a total of 1,000 people.

That adds up to 4,000 men. In this way, after the 4,000 men and horses were mixed and organized, 1,000 men and horses were assigned to each wall, and then the original 400 official officials and soldiers and hundreds of reserve officers and soldiers were assigned to supervise and command these horses.

Thousands of government officers and soldiers have been trained for a period of time, and it is certainly impossible to say that they are already elite, but they are already a disciplined team that is forbidden by order.

Of these 1,000 men and horses, most of them were left as mobile officers and soldiers, and hundreds of men and horses were sent to each city wall as the main battle force.

Those men and horses who have been temporarily conscripted do not need them to have much combat effectiveness, nor do they need to be able to do what they can do, and they are forbidden to obey commands. They only need to not panic when facing the army of the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, if the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro really wants to forcibly attack the city, then they must have the courage to throw those rolling stones and trees outside the city wall to kill and injure the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro.

In fact, these people have seen many Yellow Turban thieves commit murder, and they can be said to be afraid and angry, they all know the consequences of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army once they break through Yang County. If the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, who stood on the top of the city and climbed outside the city, did not dare to throw out the rolling stones and rafts to attack the enemy, they really deserved to die.

Liu Xian believes that each city wall is basically enough to send more than 1,000 men and horses to defend the city. What's more, there are so many other people, in addition to replenishing the city in time of wartime with rolling stones and hot soup with night incense, they can actually participate in the defense of the city. There are so many people, all of them are united, Liu Xian really doesn't believe that he will not be able to defend Yang's County.

What's more, Liu Xian specially sent people to publicize among the people, cheer them up, and tell them about the brutality of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, and they must fight hard in order to survive.

Anyway, Liu Xian thinks that what to do in Yang's County is to mobilize the blood of the people to resist desperately, and it is enough for the people to share the same hatred. After all, this is not a direct face-to-face tearing with those Yellow Turban Army.

But Liu Xian also asked Wenshen to send people to pay attention to those landlords and tyrants, although if the city is broken, they will definitely be unable to avoid being burned and plundered by the Yellow Turban thieves, but it is difficult to guarantee that some people will be dizzy and will be bought by the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro and do things that damage Yang's County.

After Liu Xian passed through the battle of Shimen Pass, he saw very intuitively that there is no castle in this world that cannot be breached, and the castle is the easiest to be attacked internally. Therefore, we must be extremely vigilant against the situation of spies doing things internally.

It can be said that Liu Xian deliberately told him to beware of the possibility that the castle would be attacked from within at any time. Anyone who slackens off on their vigilance will be severely punished, especially those who are in charge of guarding the city gates, if something goes wrong, they are basically dead, and they can be beheaded.

Liu Xian's vigilance really benefited a lot later, and in many battles to defend the city, he successfully thwarted the enemy's conspiracy to cooperate with the outside and the outside, so that the enemy could not capture the city in the end.

The people of Liulin Village, under the arrangement of Liang Ji and others, also went to Yangshi County, temporarily settled in Yangshi County, and then immediately participated in the preparations for defending the city.

It is also worth mentioning that the Yellow Turban captives they held earlier were exchanged with some nearby counties for horses and cattle and farm tools, as well as the 2,000 Yellow Turban captives that Liu Xian had obtained from Quyang City earlier. All that adds up, there are actually almost 5,000 Yellow Turban captives.

Of these Yellow Turban captives, one or two thousand have been absorbed into the secret camp of the criminal army. Of course, among these 2,000 people, only about 500 people have been inspected and examined, and these 500 people have to be transferred out and let them officially join the secret camp of the criminal army, and they have already undergone a certain amount of regular militarized training. Of course, this training has not been fully trained, but these 500 people, basically all of whom are elite yellow turbans, have strong combat effectiveness in themselves, and after a short period of training, their overall combat effectiveness has also been improved to a certain extent. It can be said that they have moved away from the definition of a rabble.

The remaining more than 1,000 people, they are considered to be the source of soldiers in the secret camp of the criminal army, and it was originally planned to let them participate in labor service temporarily with those Yellow Turban prisoners, and if they perform well, they will be transferred out and thrown into the secret camp of the criminal army for formal training.

These more than 1,000 people, plus the 3,000 Yellow Turbans who were not officially used as reserve soldiers, will also be temporarily imprisoned in the official prison of Yangshi County. When necessary, the more than 1,000 Yellow Turban captives can also be used to participate in the battle.

These are selected from those Yellow Turban captives according to the method and plan formulated by Liu Xian, and they are defined by grade.

The Yellow Turban Army is indeed notorious, but most of the Yellow Turban soldiers are indeed drifting with the tide, and not everyone has their hands stained with the blood of innocent people.

Among the Yellow Turban captives, when Liu Xian selected the captives in Quyang at that time, he himself had a certain rough selection first.

Therefore, on the whole, there are not many truly vicious Yellow Turban captives, and even if there are, they are all deeply hidden.

Liu Xian needed labor, and he couldn't clearly develop too many private troops at once, so he specially selected 500 people first.

Those Yellow Turban captives were escorted back to Yangshi County until now, in fact, there have always been people who have been brainwashing them to carry out brainwashing ideological work, let them introspect themselves, and make them realize their mistakes.

In this way, they have actually changed a lot, and they no longer have a good impression of the identity of the Yellow Turban Army. Most of them hope to be reformed through labor, and then enter the secret camp of the criminal army and regain their lives.

Therefore, the people and horses led by Liu Xian and Huang Zhong who stayed in Liulin Village were actually 2,500 people.

The 2,000 men and horses were the real caravan escorts of Liufu, and after Liu Xian took thousands of caravan guards to Youzhou to conduct business, during this time, Liulin Village recruited more than 1,000 people and trained them.

Liu Xian left some caravans to guard the Plains Palace, but now there are still caravan guards of more than 2,000 people in Liulin Village.

The reason why Liu Xian decided to let the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army kill under the city of Yangshi County, instead of leading the army directly to ambush and stop the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army. This is mainly due to the question of the combat effectiveness of the caravan escort.

The intelligence provided by Zhang Ning shows that although the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army that came to attack this time is more than 50,000 horses, these 50,000 Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army are the elite of hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army. Even if the morale of the 50,000 Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army will not be too high, the elite is the elite, and they are all thieves who have been torn and killed on the battlefield and seen blood. Liu Xian was not as confident as Huang Xu, thinking that his current caravan guards could fight the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro head-on.

Among Liu Xian's 2,500 people, the people in the secret camp of the 500 Sin Army are the real elites who can handle it, as long as they are able to fight with the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro. This refers to the single quality aspect of the soldier.

Then, there were the two or three hundred caravan guards at Shimen Pass. These three hundred caravan guards have been on the battlefield and have seen blood. It can be said that it is the most elite people in the Liu Mansion caravan.

But no matter how elite they are, they have only fought a big battle, and they are not really veterans of a hundred battles.

Therefore, even the elite estimate is limited.

As for the remaining more than 1,000 caravan guards, their combat effectiveness is really very limited. Therefore, Liu Xian thought that it was better to stay in Liulin Village, wait for the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army to kill under Yangshi County, and when they divided their troops to cross the river to plunder Liulin Village, they would attack and eliminate this division of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Xian believes that this is the safest.

Yangshi County and Liulin Village were in full swing to prepare for the enemy.

A Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army of about 5,000 people quietly came out of the mountains.

This was the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, commanded by a Yellow Turban commander.

Their task is to explore the way for the Montenegrin army behind.

They were indeed a little afraid of the court officers and soldiers, and they were worried that they would be discovered by the court officers and soldiers. So, they marched carefully.

This time, they left the safe Taihang Mountains and came outside, and their goal was to plunder Yangshi County and Liulin Village, loot grain, and solve the food problem of their hundreds of thousands of troops.

Therefore, Zhang Niujiao had a strict order, telling the advance troops not to startle the snake, and try not to let the officers and soldiers of the court find out.

Liu Xian's worries were right. Or maybe Huang Xu's statement is correct.

If you directly lead the army to ambush the advance troops of the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, regardless of whether they are their opponents or not, and whether they can be eliminated in the end, this is actually equivalent to indicating that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court have discovered them and are waiting for them. In this way, their Montenegrin army behind them will definitely not dare to come out again.

Even if they came out, they would first send people to reconnoiter the situation, and to make sure that it was not the imperial officers and soldiers who came to attack them, they could continue to go out of the mountain again.

However, their targets may not be Yangshi County and Liulin Village, and they may attack some other towns that are not prepared for the enemy.

Anyway, the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro didn't want to attract the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. Liu Xian didn't want to scare them.
