Subtle changes began to appear in the entire Yunzhong County. On the outside, it looks the same as usual, the people are still living and working in peace and contentment, and the market has been prosperous for a long time. There was a faint sound of flipping books and writing in the library, and in the academy, there was a loud sound of reading.

If you look closely, you will see that the number of caravans is starting to increase, and a lot of supplies are starting to be stored. At the same time, in the barracks, the intensity of training has increased.

The number of regular troops in Yunzhong County was increased to 20,000, and 10,000 town guards were guarding the five military towns of Xianyang, Wujin, Dingxiang, Beiyu and Wuquan County.

In addition, the five counties themselves have 500 to 1,000 county soldiers, after all, they are military fortress-type cities. Relying on these five counties to ensure the safety of the entire Yunzhong County, the main thing is to defend against the Hu people from the grassland.

Even if he reached a border trade relationship with Bu Dugen, Liu Tao still would not pin his safety on the goodwill of others. Besides, where does the goodwill come from on the grassland, it only follows the law of the jungle (grassland) of the jungle (grassland).

Seeing that around July, just after the summer heat, the people of Yunzhong County could feel that the atmosphere had become a little tense. Two months ago, Zhang Wen sent the Southern Xiongnu to beg for thieves, and Yu Fuluo, the king of Youxian, led thousands of elite cavalry to support.

Just last month, news came that the Southern Xiongnu were in civil strife, and the rebels had killed Yu Fuluo's father, that is, Qiangqu Shan Yu. At the same time, the elders of the tribe elected the bone capital Hou Xubu as the new Shan Yu.

The rebel army did not intend to be in a corner of peace, and the Southern Xiongnu in the entire Xihe County were mobilizing. Wuyuan, Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Dingxiang may all become battlefields, and may even affect Yunzhong and Hedong counties.

"Four thousand foot soldiers, two thousand crossbowmen, and four thousand cavalry...... Enough, right? Liu Tao looked at Xun Yu beside him.

"If it's not enough, we won't be able to afford it." Xun Yu replied honestly.

"When there were only 10,000 people, you said the same......" Liu Tao couldn't help but complain, Xun Yu was like a housekeeper who picked the door, always feeling that nothing was enough. Unless the supplies are abundant enough to give him peace of mind.

Initial website: m.

"The lord should understand that his subordinates are only trying to better deal with various situations." Xun Yu retorted.

According to Xun Yu's habits, military consumption will not really reach the maximum. He took into account possible natural disasters that would lead to reduced yields in the fields, as well as a number of other emergencies that would lead to sudden food shortages.

Then he comes up with a safe value, if it is greater than that, then it is generous, and below this value, he will be very nervous. If he reaches the red line, he will definitely stop it, even if the real limit is in the black line.

"Haha, I've always been at ease with you." Liu Tao smiled, "It's almost time......"

The Southern Xiongnu in Xihe County have begun to move, and they have obviously begun to contact the Hu people on the other side of Xiutu, and have begun to unite to do a big deal.

Yu Fuluo, who has no home to return to, has become a wandering army. Liu Tao wanted to try to make contact, mainly to see if he could accept it. I was worried that it would offend the bottom line of some big people, so I could only press down on this idea first, and I didn't need to wait too long anyway.

Zhang Wen is destined to pay the price for his repeated wrong decisions, and the dismissal and investigation are the inevitable result. Huangfu Song is expected to return to power, but the battle situation in Liangzhou has little to do with Liu Tao.

Sun Jian also led 1,000 elite soldiers to Changsha last year to crusade against the district star, and at the same time served as the Changsha Taishou. is different from history, there is a civilian official named Sima Fang by his side.

It is said that Sima Fang's eldest son, Sima Lang, also joined the army and helped deal with some paperwork, which was probably an internship. After all, Sima Lang is only eighteen years old this year.

When he learned the news from Shangguan Yu, Liu Tao was still in a trance for a while, Sun Jian found himself a military advisor? The question is why Sima Fang, not Zhou Yi, that is, Zhou Yu's father?

After thinking about it, I felt that it might be because Zhou Yi was currently the Luoyang Order, so it was impossible for him to resign and follow Sun Jian to Changsha. During this time, Sima Fang was at home, so he was invited out of the mountain by Sun Jian, right?

In fact, even if he is not invited, Sima Fang will serve as a cavalry lieutenant in the future, and it can only be said that he has picked up a cheap price for Sun Jian at all. I don't know what kind of new changes will occur in history at this moment......

The elite army of the imperial court is basically quelling the rebellion, and the counterinsurgency on the side of Bingzhou falls on the head of Zhang Yi, the assassin. There is a high probability that the border army will be used to defend against the enemy.

After waiting like this for a few days, Zhang Yi sent a document as an assassin and transferred Liu Tao to the front line, and together with Wang Xi, the governor of Wuyuan County, he was lower than the Southern Xiongnu who came to attack.

"Do we want to be late, for example, to sit and watch Zhang Yi be killed, and then come forward to sweep the tail?" Liu Tao summoned all the military advisers, including all the civil officials, of course.

"There are means on the battlefield that can make him die in vain. But we don't hurry up and go to the front now, it's easy to get real. At present, the integration of the soldiers and horses of Wuyuan County is the first priority. Guo Jia reminded.

"What's so troublesome, find an opportunity for my brother to secretly give him an arrow, no one can see it, no one knows, and afterwards it is at most a blood hole, and there is no evidence." Zhang Fei teased.

Everyone was also thoughtful when they heard this, Liu Tao's invisible arrow was indeed amazingly powerful, and the armor of fine iron could penetrate it, the key was that it was shadowless, formless and silent, and it was suddenly used and could not be prevented. Or it's useless to defend, this thing can only dodge, but you can't see it, how to dodge?!

"Don't talk about killing people at every turn, okay?" Liu Tao said angrily, although he had thought about using this trick when necessary. For example, when the princes of the Eighteenth Route gathered, they secretly gave Liu Bei or Yuan Shao, or even Cao Cao a visit or something.

"It's just that this trick requires the lord to raise his hand and then point in one direction to release, which is too obvious." Guo Jia reminded, "If you want to do it, you must do a good job of concealment. ”

In fact, it is the eyes that guide the magic arrows, not the fingers, just to show off like this...... This is a flaw deliberately left by Liu Tao. If someone betrays him in the future, he points to the other party and actually looks elsewhere, so that the other party has a high probability of being hit. Keeping a hand is the most basic principle of self-preservation.

"When there are so many people, there is always a way to act in secret." Liu Tao smiled, "As for you, you won't say it, right?" ”

Everyone nodded in response, although it is not impossible if the interests are enough, but it is obviously more beneficial to follow Liu Tao.

After all, a boss who can let you wave casually, and there is a high probability that you don't need to worry about dying on the battlefield, is really hard to find!

"Okay, since that's the case, then don't delay!" Liu Tao clapped his hands, "Ready, ready, let's do something!" ”

"Whoa!" Everyone responded, then disbanded and returned to their respective posts and began to get busy.

"Second brother, Yunzhong County wants to ask you and the third brother to take care of it again!" Liu Tao then looked at Lu Yan.

"Brother, don't worry, we will definitely ensure that the clouds are safe!" Lu Yan came forward to guarantee.
