"How much does the lord plan to lead troops?" Guo Jia asked.

Hearing this, the generals standing on the right side looked forward to it and looked at Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu glanced at the generals on the right, and his heart fell into deep thought.

During this period of time, Yuan Shu has not been idle at all, and it can even be said that he is very busy. Select the officials and soldiers in Liangzhou, reorganize the army under Ma Teng and Li Wei, formulate and approve many political policies and policies of Xiliang, and "borrow grain" from the wealthy families of Xiliang and rectify these people. If it weren't for the assistance of Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others, Yuan Shu would probably be tired and paralyzed.

Yuan Shu is very lazy, but he also has a certain obsessive-compulsive disorder. Either don't do anything, or try to do the best, let alone the big thing that is competing for domination in the world. So although he was tired, he never chose to give up, and even took Jia Xu and others around the clock during this time, and lost a lot of weight.

Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Xun You, the three lazy people, are finally lazy and lazy. The other strategists under Yuan Shu were busy with political affairs, so the three of them followed Yuan Shu to Xiliang, but in the face of so many political affairs, they were all piled up on them, and the three of them were tired into dogs. It wasn't until Fa Zheng, Yang Xiu, and Zhuge Jin arrived that they were a little more relaxed.

During this period of time, the hard work has also gained a lot, but after more than a month, the hearts of the people of Xiliang have been initially attached.

Yuan Shu "borrowed grain", except for a small number of brainless wealthy families who still dreamed of their own soil emperors and did not "borrow", most of the Xiliang families chose to give in. A large amount of grain was borrowed by Yuan Shu to offer flowers to the Buddha and distributed in the form of work-for-relief, which not only built and improved many villages and cities, but also cleaned up Xiliang's household registration. Other land reclamation, legal publicity and reconstruction, and the construction of academies and medical centers have all been put on the agenda, and many talented officials in Jiangdong have also been transferred. The set of Jiangdong's governance has been thoroughly understood by everyone, and the reconstruction and restoration of Xiliang have been easily completed by those who are familiar with the way.

Under the deterrence of Yuan Shu, a fierce dragon crossing the river, the wealthy family of Xiliang basically did not make any sound, and the hundreds of thousands of elites in Jincheng were clearly displayed! Many families in Hanzhong who can't wait have also rushed to "grab food", in the face of so many big guys, how dare they make a move? If you say something bad about Yuan Shu today, you may be completely bulldozed tomorrow by those families who want to curry favor with Yuan Shu. Under these circumstances, the situation in Xiliang quickly returned to stability within a month.

Of the 60,000 iron cavalry under Li Dao's command, Yuan Shu handed over 3,000 flying bear troops and 20,000 iron cavalry to Li Dao Guo Yan. The remaining 40,000 iron cavalry were handed over to Hua Xiong, Zhang Ji and others and sent to Jingzhou. And Ma Teng's army of more than 50,000 was also retained by Yuan Shu and 30,000 were returned to Ma Teng's commander, and the rest of the army was collected under the command of other main generals to supplement the shortcomings of the cavalry of the Jiangdong Army.

Yuan Shu's weakening of Li Dao and Ma Teng's military power made the two of them a little stunned, but they were relieved in their hearts. Yuan Shu cut nearly half of their military power, showing Yuan Shu's trust in them, at least this life must be saved. This is already the best ending in their hearts, and they are afraid that Yuan Shu will directly elevate them or take no action against them.

Although the selection of soldiers and soldiers was completed and the military power was re-divided, the loyalty of the Xiliang soldiers led by Li Dao and Ma Teng was still difficult to guarantee, so Yuan Shu had to prepare enough troops to stay in Jiangdong.

After thinking for a moment, he first looked at Huang Zhong. Attacking Tongguan, the archers are the most important, and most of the troops under Huang Zhong are elite archers, and with his legion talent, they are definitely the best candidates for siege, and they must definitely be brought.

Another candidate, Yuan Shu lingered between Wei Yan and Pan Feng for a while, and finally stayed on Pan Feng's body. Wei Yan's legion talent is really wasted for siege, and it is more appropriate to take Pan Feng's panacea army. As for Tai Shici's Southern Barbarian Army, Yuan Shu didn't consider it at all, attacking the city with large-scale heavy infantry was a complete loser, and the number of Southern Barbarian soldiers was too small, so it was better to save some use.

"This operation is to jointly take Tongguan and Sili with Liu Bei, so it is not appropriate to lead too many troops and not too little, more than 50,000 and less than 100,000." Yuan Shu said first, and then looked at Huang Zhong.

"Most of Han Sheng's subordinates are archers, the best at attacking cities, and he led an army of 50,000 to go out with a certain one."

"No!" Huang Zhong stood up and knelt down on one knee in response, and all the generals around him looked at him with envy.

Yuan Shu nodded, and then looked at Pan Feng: "The foot soldiers under the command of Wushuang have the strongest will, and they lead an army of 30,000 to go out with a certain one." ”

"No!" Pan Feng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said excitedly. Since he came to Jiangdong, he has basically not made an inch, because his legion talent is relatively weak, and he mostly does some tiring work such as logistics. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu asked him to accompany him on the expedition this time, which really surprised him.

Tai Shi Ci has a gentle temperament, and his family knows his own affairs, so although he is slightly disappointed in his heart, he has already been mentally prepared. The same is true for Guo Yan and Ma Teng, they are both new pitchers, and their subordinates are all cavalry, so Yuan Shu naturally will not choose them.

But what is surprising is that Wei Yan, who has always been war-like, did not stand up as usual. Yuan Shu glanced at Wei Yan in surprise, and found the perseverance in Wei Yan's eyes, and he knew it in his heart.

In the previous battle with Han Sui, Wei Yan's army suffered a lot of losses, and he suffered a lot of blows, so it seems that he is indeed vigilant this time. The combat power of the army led by Wei Yan is not outstanding under Yuan Shu's command, but he is very arrogant, if this continues, Yuan Shu can only gradually hide it. But now that he has a sober tendency, Yuan Shu is a little pleased.

"In addition, Gao Shun led a thousand traps to accompany him, and Dian Wei and Ma Chao escorted Yu together."

"Lord!" Xu Chu saw that Yuan Shu did not mention his name, and said anxiously.

"Zhong Kang is not in a hurry, I left you and the three thousand tiger guards behind, hoping that you can quickly rebuild the tiger army of the year." Yuan Shu looked at the loyal and honest Xu Chu, and hurriedly smiled and comforted.

"But what about the safety of the lord?" Xu Chu was still uneasy.

"Isn't there an evil to come and Meng Qi?" Yuan Shu said with a smile. Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, and raised his forehead slightly with pride.

Who knew that Xu Chu said: "Liu Bei has Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by his side, and no one can stop it." Lao Dian's strength is assured, but Meng Qi is this kid. ”

Xu Chu's unintentional contempt directly made Ma Chao jump up angrily: "Big fat man, what are you talking about?" What's wrong with my strength? ”

Xu Chu didn't even look at him, and continued: "Meng Qi is still young, he hasn't grown up, and he can't stop Guan Zhang's move at all, how can he ensure the safety of the lord?" ”

Ma Chao was extremely ashamed and angry when he heard this, looked at Xu Chu viciously, and shouted angrily without thinking: "Bah! You have what it takes to fight a certain battle! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone present looked at Ma Chao strangely, and then glanced at Ma Teng sympathetically.

"How did you raise such a wonderful son?" Li Wei, who was beside Ma Teng, couldn't help but whisper.

Ma Teng was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. It's a shame to have such a son!

He didn't know that in history, his son not only made him embarrassed, but directly made him lose his life. When it comes to pit dad and brother pit, Ma Chao is definitely the first person in the late Han Dynasty.

Facing Ma Chao's words, he couldn't help but look at him strangely: "Are you sure?" ”

Ma Chao realized what he had said, his face turned red, and he shouted angrily: "If you have the ability, you stand and let me stab for two hours, I don't believe that stabbing will not hurt you!" ”

Ma Chao, who had just been taught a hard lesson before, wisely chose to follow his heart (cowardice).
