IRA, Ministry of Intelligence. Inside Xu Dou's office.

"Scatter the wealth, and be a righteous soldier." Xu Dou said this as a telegram on his desk. This is the information sent by the Luoyang Intelligence Station of the Republican Army, and he is extremely concerned about Cao Cao and Shangwu. The Republican Army was not aware of Cao Cao's assassination. They believe that Cao Cao's assassination was triggered by a completely accidental event. It wasn't until the wanted warrant was issued that the IRA knew what had happened. Although Shang Wu did not blame him too much. But this made Xu Dou very dissatisfied. Because they had no control over the development of the situation, this naturally caused him to be dissatisfied.

And so. In order to prevent such a thing, the Luoyang Intelligence Station sent special personnel to follow the main figures to carry out relevant intelligence gathering work, and they hoped that such work could complete some of their important things. In this way, their situation can also become much more favorable.

"Yes, sir, a timely report based on what our people found in Chenliu." The intelligence officer said.

"What do you think?" Xu Dou asked.

When the Republican Army reacted accordingly, in fact, a lot happened to Cao Cao. But the IRA is not very clear about this, after all, they only then adjusted the relevant intelligence gathering. Otherwise, they would have made a change.

"Sir. We think that there may be other people responding, after all, Dong Zhuo's power is very strong, and if he can't deal with this situation, he will quickly lose his balance. At the same time, according to the intelligence of the smugglers we gathered in Luoyang, the military generals in various places also had great dissatisfaction, after all, Dong Zhuo's background and the way he controlled the overall situation caused their dissatisfaction, and Dong Zhuo did not divide a part of the interests to win them over. This is bound to cause unnecessary fighting between them. I think we should pay some attention to this matter. The intelligence officer said that they themselves did not know exactly how much attention there would be, but they could just do so. This is a very advantageous thing for them, and they can achieve their own goals through the activities of the relevant characters.

"Well, it sounds like something like that." Xu Dou nodded.

The War Department needs more information, but they need more information about future developments, not to make their situation more unfavorable.

"Pay attention to this information, and if there is any other movement, report it as soon as possible, so that we can also carry out other actions at any time." Xu Dou said.

"Yes, sir." The intelligence officer said.

Outside the Yanmen Pass, the people of the allied tribes gradually calmed down. Panic is starting to wane. Because they saw the army. The IRA formed a force of more than 5,000 men, which was temporarily organized into two mixed regiments.

Because most of them were nomads, the number of cavalry exceeded more than one thousand seven hundred. The rest were infantry.

The cavalry consisted of scattered, detached nomadic chieftains who became the main military commanders of the two mixed regiments of the Confederates. They served as company commanders and platoon commanders, respectively. Because their size usually consisted of only a hundred to thirty cavalry. The cavalry companies are all separate existences, and they cannot complete the synthesis of cavalry battalions. This is very troublesome.

Zhang Liao walked back and forth between the various tribes. He had a lot to move. For example, he needed to move the tribe as far as possible to the city walls, as well as before the wall netting. There, the herdsmen would build their own fortifications, where they lived, and they were the last place to live. Of course, the IRA will provide some of the supplies. As for how to deal with these people, Zhang Liao does not know, he is just an officer. Responsible for some of the initial establishment of the Confederate forces here.

"Damn, I have too few people in my hands." Zhang Liao said this to a sergeant major beside him.

He's busy, since the formation of the Confederates. He only gets three or four hours of sleep a day, and sometimes, he needs to rotate continuously, and he needs to set up officer training courses, non-commissioned officer training courses, and more operations on soldier weapons. The IRA has decided on plans to provide a fleet of firearms to the Allied infantry.

The infantry of the Confederate army came from the out-of-production, bankrupt herdsmen, and they had nothing left. There is nothing, only when they are soldiers fighting, they can have a way out, and the price offered by the Republican Army is still very objective. One month, two dollars. Two stone of grain is given every month, and if there is a war, it is calculated separately. If they are disabled on the battlefield, the Republican Army will treat them, arrange work, and give them a certain amount of subsidies. $300 living compensation. Eight hundred dollars were given to the war dead.

The price of eight hundred dollars is from the latest slave price. This is also the final price of the Republican Army's death compensation.

Although the price does not seem to be much, it can do a lot of things, fifty yuan can be used to have a war horse, three hundred yuan can buy endless food, a lot of salt. and the ability to build a car made of iron. These things are definitely not things that herders can get.

Of course. A lot of things can get out of hand.

Zhang Liao doesn't care a lot about money, he cares about the fact that there are too few talents available in his hands.

He needs nomads who know the Central Plains dialect, whether he is a Xiongnu, Wuhuan, or Xianbei, as long as he can understand their words. Soldiers and the like basically don't understand, they naturally don't understand the meaning of training, arming them, but they know what kind of benefits they can get, and these are enough.

Those who can speak some Central Plains dialect will pull it out. They either become the object of officer training or become non-commissioned officers. For the original officers. Zhang Liao didn't use too much, and had a certain wariness of them, for example, those cavalry officers, they were basically such people, they had their own subordinates, and their original meaning was to save themselves.

They won't have much affection for the newly formed Confederate army. They get involved, just to survive.

"I need them to dig more trenches there, and then more barbed wire. These defenses have to be done well, and I need them to establish at least three defenses, three. There must be three defenses to do such a thing well. Zhang Liao said to a sergeant, who took it down and left with his interpreter.

The situation with the establishment of the new Allied forces was very bad. First of all, cavalry and infantry belong to two completely different systems, and those cavalry officers are unruly. There is a possibility of rebellion at any time, Zhou Cang thinks. And the infantry is mostly made up of civilians. They need to learn how to operate firearms in the shortest possible time. Learn to shoot and maintain a strong will to fight. They face a lot of difficulties, the language barrier, and whether they will accept this weapon in a short time, many soldiers say that they will not accept such weapons, and they are completely lacking in firearms.

Finally, firepower. Their firepower is extremely weak. In this regard, Zhang Liao's plan was to strengthen the depth configuration and consolidate their defenses by building as many defensive lines as possible.

They had to face a greater degree of offensive operations when they had just established an alliance. Zhang Liao was not sure that they had too much experience to deal with such a situation.

The latest intelligence shows. The northern nomadic cavalry was sweeping through more tribes, and they wanted more loot. No more attention has been focused on this yet. After all, it's too difficult to attack here. For difficult passes. It's better for them not to get too involved. This gave the IRA more time to prepare.

Chen Liu. Cao Cao is recruiting troops on a large scale. He knew that the assassination could no longer be completed, and if he lost a chance, he would not be able to have such a chance again, and there was only one way to fight Dong Zhuo. That is the confrontation of force, although he is still very weak, however, he still hopes to be able to fight Dong Zhuo. Only in this way can you clearly express your resolute willpower. That's what Cao Cao thought.

But Cao Cao was still worried. Because they will not be able to improve their combat effectiveness for a short time. Especially in terms of Dong Zhuo's weapons and equipment, Cao Cao has a very good experience, Dong Zhuo has a strong artillery, as well as a phalanx of firearms, and he has no advantage in this regard, and it is no advantage to expand the formation of cold weapons again, although he is currently equipped with the most spearmen. But doing so is a pure waste of money, and Cao Cao hopes to find a better way to solve this problem.

The best thing to do is to borrow money, borrow money from the IRA, get what they need, and then grow and grow.

But it doesn't seem to be easy to do such a thing. He needs to get in touch with the IRA before he can have a bigger development.

Handan.

There was a lot of news in the newspapers, including the chaos suffered by the Northern Alliance, as well as the various domineering behaviors of Dong Zhuo in Luoyang. Some newspapers played a role in fueling the fire. They portrayed Dong Zhuo as a hero. A very inspirational hero.

From a bottom, rise recklessly, and then control the overall situation of Luoyang, so that those nobles who can only come out of the gate valve become a kind of vassal. Dong Zhuo has done a lot of things that civilians never dare to think of.

Perhaps the Republican Army is also a kind of reckless origin, and there is a great commonality between the two, which is also an extremely favorable situation.

In fact, the people of the Republican Army still have a great impression of Dong Zhuo, not just inspirational.
