After the plan was determined, Zeng Yu sent someone to inform the unclothed army on Jinniu Mountain to go down the mountain. Zeng Yu arranged for people to expand Lingyun Village, and as for the name of the village in Lingyun Village, it had already been relocated.

Zeng Yu asked Liu Neng and Tian Feng to build new villages of different sizes around Anping County to arrange for displaced people from all over the country and tenants and domestic servants of the former Sun family and the Wang family. The fields around the county seat are allocated to the Tuntian soldiers led by Wei Feng, a total of 10,000 people, who are mainly engaged in reclaiming wasteland and farming, and will be used as the main food supply point for more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Anping County in the future.

Lingyunzhuang can be said to be a pure barracks at this time, and now there are only 3,000 cavalry stationed in the cavalry battalion, and they are training all day long in order to familiarize themselves with the new harness and sabre as soon as possible. In this expansion, Zeng Yu only asked to be able to let the shooter battalion settle in it, so after Zeng Yu ordered, the new camp was quickly completed.

As for the Ruishi Battalion and the Wushu Battalion, Zeng Yu's plan was to have them stationed in the east of the county, which happened to be guarding Anping County with Lingyunzhuang in the east and west.

Zeng Yu handed over this task to Tian Feng after Xie Jing returned, Tian Feng had experience in expanding the county seat before, and was very experienced in these project arrangements, and this time it was only a large military camp, so under the encouragement of providing food and meager wages, the people of the county participated one after another, and in just three days a military camp was built in the east of the county seat that was enough to accommodate 10,000 people.

The messenger sent the news to Jinniu Mountain that afternoon, and Pei Yuanshao was the first to learn the news, and at the same time arranged for the soldiers of the Wushu battalion to pack up their things, and escorted the messenger up the mountain to inform Wang Qing of them.

Zeng Yu's order was to let all the soldiers of the Wuyi Army move to the county seat except for the soldiers of the Wushu battalion who were left behind. In addition to the 1,000 soldiers of the Wushu battalion led by Zhou Cang who were responsible for guarding Jinniu Mountain, only the thousands of miners in charge of Li Li were left to mine iron ore on Jinniu Mountain, and the smelting craftsmen left behind after the relocation of the workshop.

Wang Qing and the others received the order, immediately stopped training, asked the soldiers to pack their things, and then went to the foot of the mountain first, joined Pei Yuanshao, and left for the county seat three days later. This is mentioned in Zeng Yu's order, in order to cooperate with him to deal with the support Cui Ming did not have an excuse within ten days.

Of course, Wang Qing and the others didn't know why Zeng Yu asked them to set off three days later, but since Zeng Yu had an order, they would not disobey.

However, Pei Yuanshao was a little impatient, his martial arts battalion could be said to have been training all the time and had not participated in a single battle, and he was eager to prove to Zeng Yu in the battle that he had lived up to his expectations. The last attack on Huanglongzhai originally wanted to do a big job, but because of the combination of inside and outside, he easily won the entire Huanglongzhai, which made Pei Yuanshao feel like a punch on the cotton, and now it is finally about to start, he can prove himself openly and prove the combat effectiveness of the martial arts battalion.

After sending a messenger to inform Wang Qing that they would go down the mountain, Zeng Yu informed Liu Neng and others in Anping County to come to the county government to discuss the issue of sending troops. Liu Neng, Gu De, Yin Zhuo, Sun Hao, Tian Feng, and Xie Jing received the order, knowing that this was Zeng Yu who needed to confirm the final preparations with them, and immediately put down the things in hand and went to the county government hall.

Except for Sun Hao and Tian Feng, who do not have a fixed office for the time being, and usually stay in the mansion next to the county office, the others themselves work in the county office, so everyone soon gathered.

Zeng Yu sat first, Sun Hao sat down in the closest position to him below him, and the others sat on both sides. Zeng Yu said straight to the point: "Half a month ago, the Yellow Turban Army occupied Huguan, and tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops entered Koushangdang County, and the county guard could not defend it, so I notified each county town to send troops to support, and I received an order from the county guard today. “

"When are we going to leave?" Sun Hao asked.

"Don't worry, although the order requires us to arrive within ten days, Anping County is the farthest away, and there are bandits raging around, so I plan to take the troops and set off in four days. Yachuan, can I prepare the food and grass that I asked you to equip earlier? After Zeng Yu finished speaking, he asked Liu Neng.

"Back to the lord, there are many businesses in the county, and the grain and grass have been prepared, in addition to enough to supply the army for three months, there is also enough food for 20,000 people to use for three months, if you save a little, you can last for another month." Ryu Neng replied.

Zeng Yu nodded in understanding, and then looked at Yin Zhuo. Seeing this, Yin Zhuo stood up and reported to Zeng Yu: "Lord Qi, there are more merchants who have applied for membership during this time, by requiring them to pay a certain deposit, plus President Zhang's business, don't worry about money, just wait for the lord to come back triumphantly." “

"Yes, you will be rewarded for your merits after this battle is over. In this expedition, Bo Yu led 2,000 county soldiers to stay in the county seat, and the others performed their duties, Zijin managed the entire county in place of me, and Fengxiao would go out with me. Zeng Yu ordered.

Everyone knows Sun Hao's position in Zeng Yu's heart, and there is no objection to him taking over his position after Zeng Yu leaves. Zeng Yu then discussed some details with everyone, and then asked them to return to their respective posts.

Zeng Yu left Sun Hao behind and said to him: "Zijin, this time we will all leave, and Anping County will be handed over to you as our base." “

"Big brother, rest assured, after the expansion of Anping County, the city wall is tall and does not belong to the county seat, and you have left Bo Yu and 2,000 county soldiers, and there are more than 10,000 Tuntian soldiers outside the city. If the Yellow Turban Army really attacks, it will definitely not be able to get benefits, so big brother can rest assured that he will go on the expedition, we have been waiting for this day for more than a year. Sun Hao confidently assured.

"Yes, it's been more than a year before we know it, and we have the strength we have now, and the next step is our chance to rise. The Nine Heavens Dragon chant is shocking, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters the wind and clouds, and I can't wait. Zeng Yu stood up, looked into the distance and muttered in a low voice.

"Big brother, be careful!" Sun Hao stood up, walked behind Zeng Yu, and said to Zeng Yu.

"Haha, Zijin rest assured, the Yellow Turban Army can't kill me." Zeng Yu laughed and said, this is his confidence in the unclothed army and the cavalry battalion under his command.

"Also, I'm here to wish my eldest brother a speedy victory." Sun Hao thought about it, and also smiled, he didn't continue to remind Zeng Yu, because he knew that Zeng Yu would definitely think of this, strategically despise the enemy, tactically attach importance to the enemy, this is what Zeng Yu emphasized to him and Wang Qing before.

"Haha, it seems that we haven't played against each other for a long time, and we happen to be free today, how about we play a game?" Zeng Yu suddenly proposed, they used to play against each other when they were in Qianlong Village, the two sides can be said to be evenly matched, Zeng Yu is slightly stronger but also strong is limited, the two can be said to be rare chess friends, and a large part of the friendship between them can be said to be based on the daily game.

When Sun Hao heard Zeng Yu's proposal, his eyes lit up, and he hadn't played against Zeng Yu for a long time. Especially before he has been in Jinniu Mountain, the mountain does not have the existence of chess skills as his opponent, or after following Zeng Yu down the mountain before the Chinese New Year, he played against Guo Jia a few times, but later Guo Jia temporarily replaced Xie Jing in charge of the collection and sorting of intelligence, so Sun Hao lost a good opponent.

Zeng Yu asked his soldiers to bring the chessboard, and the two of them were burning charcoal in this hall while playing against each other, as if they had returned to the time in Qianlong Village in the past.

Time flies quickly, since Zeng Yu ordered Anping County to enter combat preparations, the entire county began to enter a state of martial law, and county soldiers can be seen patrolling all over the city at every time. However, considering the prosperity of business in Anping County, Zeng Yu adopted a policy of tightening inside and loosening outside, although there are also checks in and out of the county, but it is not particularly strict, and people are not prohibited from entering and leaving the county.

On the afternoon of the third day, the three battalions of the Wuyi Army rushed to the county seat, including 5,000 people from the Ruishi battalion, 3,000 people from the shooter battalion and 4,000 people from the Wushu battalion, and the commanders of the three battalions were Wang Qing, Wu Shi and Pei Yuanshao. Zeng Yu personally received them and asked them to go to the military camps in the east and west of the county seat.

Wu Qin, the former commander of the shooter battalion, and Qin Fen, the deputy commander of the Ruishi battalion, led 2,000 men and horses to Youzhou, and now the two battalions have selected new deputy commanders. The new deputy commander of the Rui Shi battalion is called Xu Shi, the other deputy commander of the archer battalion is Dai Rui, and the Wushu battalion has also elected two deputy commanders, Tang Gang and Li Yi.

These deputy commanders were all meeting Zeng Yu for the first time as officers of the unclothed army, and they all looked very excited. Although Zeng Yu had known their names for a long time, and they were also commanders or centurions in the army before, Zeng Yu called out their names one by one this time, and encouraged them to fight hard and make contributions in the future.

Because they were going to go on the expedition tomorrow, they did not prepare a dinner party to entertain them in the county seat, but just let the soldiers have a meal and set off for Changzi County early tomorrow morning.

Under Zeng Yu's order, Liu Neng also summoned 3,000 people to be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass. Originally, if he only relied on these 3,000 people, it would definitely not be enough to support the supply of grain and grass for this army of more than 10,000 people, but Zeng Yu originally did not plan to rely on Anping County to provide all the grain and grass himself, and when he arrived at the front line, he would naturally go to the local county town for supplies.

At the same time that Zeng Yu and the others were preparing to set off, the Yellow Turban Army led by Zuo Zhangba had already arrived in Changzi County. The Yellow Turban Army, which had plundered the six counties in the north of Shangdang, looked stronger than ever, and the elite men and horses in the core had expanded to 6,000, plus more people had been coerced, and now it had really reached the 50,000 people they claimed to be. Therefore, although they left 1,000 men and horses in each county to garrison, there were still more than 40,000 people who arrived in Changzi County.

As the saying goes, if there are more than 10,000 people, there is no boundary. At this time, there were more than 40,000 people in the Yellow Turban Army, lined up below Changzi County, and the pressure on the soldiers defending the city in Changzi County was huge, and many people who were temporarily recruited to defend the city were even trembling, and even some soldiers were nervous in their hearts. On the side of the Yellow Turban Army, with a winning streak, everyone's morale is high, especially the core of the 6,000 soldiers, all of whom are fanatical believers in the Taiping Dao, as soon as they appeared, they already had a great upper hand before they fought.
