(Thanks to book friend Raxlo.)

Cast a valuable monthly pass. )

Sizhou Anping, here five years ago was just a small village with a population of dozens of households, after Liu Yi's army took Luoyang, but because of its geographical location and became the key point of the north and south, at this time a total of six main roads gathered here, the village has become a radius of ten miles, there are thousands of households in the town, the development of commercial facilities makes Anping sparrow although small and complete, but his small is only for Liu Yi under the rule, in the late Han Dynasty can be regarded as a small and medium-sized city.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the criterion for judging whether a region is well developed is extremely simple, that is, the number of population, here compared to five years ago, it can be said that the difference is a world, the number of households has increased nearly 100 times, in addition to Zhang Hu's political achievements, the prosperity of commerce and geographical conditions are the biggest reasons! The surrounding area of Anping County and other towns are generally vast farmland, the only difference is that the general fertile land here belongs to the military tun, in this traffic artery is resident in Zhang Liao Yanyun Battalion a soldier and horses, many Sizhou County soldiers and people are also in this place tuntian, showing its important strategic position.

After the start of the Sizhou War, Zhang Liao transferred all the soldiers here to the front line, and the task of defense was on the two thousand counties here, but three days ago, a pair of foreign cavalry troops with a large number came to camp outside the city, and the leader was Zhang Wenyuan, the commander of the Yanyun battalion! During this period, Liu Yi sat in Luoyang to resist the troops of the coalition army, and Zhang Liao and Fan Chou led the Wuhuan and Xiongnu cavalry to hide everywhere, waiting for the military order of the lord to attack in the accelerated familiarization exercise.

After the meeting in the camp that day, Liu Yi set a strategic framework to consume the enemy's sharp spirit in Luoyang Jiancheng, and the two cavalry troops waited for the opportunity to move, and the good relationship between the Youzhou army and the people and the support of the people of Sizhou for Liu Yi made the cavalry of the two clans in any place in Sizhou like a fish in water, without the slightest worries, and the geographical advantage plus people made the movements of the coalition army unpredictable for these two groups of men and horses In fact, every time a station is changed, there will be local officials leading the people to give great cooperation!

There are four major grain reserves in Sizhou, Hangu Tiger Prison, Luoyang Anping, this time due to the enemy's surprise attack led to the fall of Hangu, Yang Ming, the commander of the Qinglong Battalion, had ordered the soldiers to burn the grain in the city before he died in battle, but the time left for him was too little, so there was still most of the grain and grass in the hands of the coalition army, so that Han Sui Zhang Wei was very big gained, and also coveted the wealth of Sizhou, the grain storage in Hangu is not to say that it is a cold and bitter cold place in the west, but it is also an extremely huge number for the rich Hanzhong, It has also strengthened the coalition's long-lasting combat capability.

Now that the coalition army is under the city of Luoyang, the connection between the tiger prison and Sizhou has been temporarily cut off, and at this time, it is slightly stretched to bear tens of thousands of troops only by relying on the grain stocks in Anping and the reserves of various counties and counties, but it is also in the wartime Liu Yi's ability to adapt everywhere is also shown. First of all, Zhang Hong's vigorous mobilization of Bingzhou, personnel, materials, grain and grass were continuously transported from all over Bingzhou to Sizhou, and officials from all over the country also made a collection in the people according to the wartime law! If this kind of collection is placed ten years ago, it will cause anger and resentment, and even a lot of tragic situations will occur, but the collection work in the land of Sizhou is progressing very smoothly, many people are spontaneously responding to the call of the government, and send the surplus grain to the government in groups, where they will get a bamboo card issued by the local government, indicating the amount of grain and grass collected, and will be compensated after the war. At this time, they all hoped that General Liu's army would soon be victorious, in addition to the support of grain and grass, the recruitment of the people was also enthusiastic, and the success of Sizhou's governance was greatly reflected in this war, and it was also an extremely important part of the war.

This point is the deepest for Yu Jian, in the past, the people of the Han Dynasty saw the Huns soldiers all heard the wind and fled far away, and the places where they went were often ten rooms and nine empty, and this time it can be said that it was a pot pulp, and they took good care of it, and the food and grass in the camp where they went were properly arranged, and the people of the alien race who helped General Liu to fight showed great goodwill, and Liu Yi changed their psychology in the past ten years, and the propaganda of the state capital also played a great role, of course, for the Tuge brothers, They have long experienced the friendliness of the Han people.

For Liu Yi, this battle in Sizhou is a very rare defensive battle in his military career, the trust and support of the people in the war against their own army makes him feel a sense of achievement, Liu Yi has always been extremely confident but never arrogant, let alone despise the opponent, this time when the army is at a great disadvantage, he still wants to annihilate the enemy, a large part of the source of confidence is the full cooperation of the people of Sizhou, in his eyes enough to 100,000 troops!

There is a place called Beiwangpo in the north of Anping, where there are several roads in the north of Anping, at this time Zhang Liao led a group of generals to wait here, this Anping is the military order issued by the lord and the military division half a month ago, and its content makes him excited, the reinforcements of Jizhou Youzhou two places are on the way, and they are all elite generals, which undoubtedly greatly enhances the combat power of Liu Yi's army in Sizhou, and also makes the lord have more room for the deployment of troops, according to the analysis in his heart, the reinforcements of Yan Gang Gaolan arrive, The Sizhou War has tended to be balanced in terms of military strength, coupled with the geographical advantages and the convenience of people, the balance of victory is slowly tilting towards their own side, and the passion of the people during the war is not only the foreign cavalry, Zhang Wenyuan is also among them, the excellence of the lord is not only in the military strategy, but also the ability to govern is also admirable.

The road that everyone stands on is a post road that runs through the three places of Youzhou and Sizhou, and it is also the channel designated by Tian Yu for Yan Gang and Gao Lan, Zhang Liao immediately after receiving the order of the lord and the general, the police station department was on guard against a section of Sizhou, as a general, he can deeply understand the importance of the secret arrival of reinforcements! Although there was no sound of people and horses at this time, the dust and smoke raised in front and the slight vibration on the road already indicated that reinforcements were not far away.

"General Zhang, are you here from General Yan Gang's White Horse Battalion and Jun Gang's Tiger Guard Battalion? The eldest brother can also afford to look up to those thieves. Soon after, the first batch of soldiers of the reinforcements finally appeared in everyone's sight, and he was very familiar with the clothes and armor of the Youzhou Army, Ge Biao, through this period of time, he admired Zhang Liao very much, so the words were also full of affection, Yan Gang and Zhang He were all familiar with him, especially the latter's personal relationship with him was also good.

"Hehe, the main public soldiers have always planned to move, and as soon as they come out, they are all out, this Sizhou war is related to the overall situation, and they should be the elite of our army, and the two leaders will go to meet them together with Zhang!" Because of his personality, Tu Gebiao also has an excellent popularity among Liu Yijun, and Zhang Liao also has a good impression of this honest brother, so he smiled and said something at the moment.

He led the generals here to greet each other, and Yan Gang Gao Lan Hou Cheng and other generals also greeted him under the leadership of the guide, and both sides saw each other with joy in their eyes, although Yan Gang and Zhang Liao were not familiar with each other, but this time they were going to fight side by side in one place and Zhang Wenyuan's reputation for his ability to use soldiers, and now he saw him come to greet him in person, and his heart was also quite happy, and a smile immediately appeared on his face!

"General Yan, General Gao, Zhong Ping has worked hard from afar, Liao has prepared a thin banquet in the military camp for several generals and soldiers from afar, and the required camps have also been arranged, the brothers just need to rest in peace, but the lord has a strict order not to drink alcohol during wartime, otherwise he will have a drink with the two of you today." Zhang Liao first dismounted and smiled to greet him, and said loudly in his mouth, he respected Yan Gang, a veteran general in Liu Yi's army, in his heart, and Lu Bu had been stationed in Jizhou under Yuan Shao for a while, although Gao Tingxuan had no deep friendship, he was not a stranger, and Hou Cheng was an old acquaintance.

"Hahaha, there is General Lao Zhang personally out to greet him, I waited in a hurry, fortunately I arrived three days early, not entrusted by the lord, what General Zhang said is very true, the strict outline of the lord's army has always been admired, that is, here...hehe, I can only think about it, after this big victory, I have the opportunity to drink with the general." Seeing Zhang Liao dismount, Yan Gang and the others also flew down and stepped forward quickly, clasping their fists with both hands and saying, Yan Zhongfu's personality is similar to Gan Ning, and they are also good drinkers, he has always been straightforward and fast-talking, but he still doesn't dare to let him defy the law, because this battle is related to the success or failure of the lord, and there is no room for negligence!

"General Yan's quick words are really worthy of his reputation, I heard that the general is second only to the second general in the army, so according to the general's words, wait for the victory of this battle and then drink freely, presumably as soon as the generals arrive, the lord will soon show his strength." Obviously, the bold Yan Gang left an excellent first impression on Zhang Liao, and he also reciprocated with hearty speeches, in which the confidence was revealed to be the same as that of the general.

"What is second only to the second general, the second most alcoholic is me Tu Ge Biao, hello General Yan!" Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Tu Ge Biao stepped forward and patted Yan Gang's chest affectionately.

"Ah Biao, you're just afraid that others won't know, what's so proud, isn't it the second? It's not the first, and I don't know who was drowned like a dead pig by the second general last time! Yan Gang seemed to be dissatisfied with his words, but he also stretched out his palm to pat Tu Gebiao's chest, looking very familiar, and the words between them naturally attracted laughter from everyone.

"General Gao, I didn't expect you and I to meet here, and now we both work for the lord, and this time Sizhou is also a place for us to make contributions." Zhang Liao bowed his hand to Gao Ran again, his words were very polite, and now Liu Yi is sitting in Luoyang, Yan Gang and Gao Lan's second general's actions are to temporarily listen to General Wen Yuan's orders, and he must be in harmony with the generals in order to work together to exert the greatest combat power.

"What General Zhang said is also what Gao thinks in his heart, and it has been a long time since he heard of General Zhang's name." Gao Ran returned the salute with his fists, and in the words of Zhang Liao and Yan Gang, they all regarded hundreds of thousands of coalition troops as if they were nothing, if there was really a master, there must be a subordinate, and the pride of the two generals naturally infected him.

"I haven't seen it for a few years, Wenyuan's demeanor is still the same, and he has made many meritorious contributions to the lord, and he is happy to be successful." Without waiting for Zhang Liao to speak, Hou Cheng had already come to the front and said, the two of them didn't have to be too polite.

"Zhong Ping's words are heavy, the loss of Hangu, the shock of Sizhou, Liao is the general of the unified army, how can he say the words of meritorious service, I hope that this war can make up for the merits, and live up to the trust of the lord, now the generals come to help, we will work together to help the lord break the enemy!" Zhang Liao waved his hand and said with a straight face, this performance of responsibility and humility made everyone nod secretly in their hearts.

After a meeting, all the generals got on their horses and went to Anping City, and with their arrival, the battle of Sizhou will make waves again!
