After speaking, Bai Liu immediately turned around, lowered his head and hurriedly left the banquet hall.

A few attentive people found that when Bai Liu's guy left, there were tears in his eyes. Those who know him understand that this is the first time that the superior attaches so much importance to Bai Liu, a person who is not good-looking, and it is no wonder that he is so moved.

Seeing that Bai Liu was gone, Fu Tong just wanted to leave, and suddenly, he saw Zhang An's father and son beside him, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he moved other thoughts, and he pondered for a moment, and he asked: "Zhang County Order, if I only give you the 4,000 defenders in Luyang City, and you personally lead the troops to seize the county seat of Lixian County, do you have the confidence to complete this task?" ”

"My lord, if Na Bai Liu's words are true, the lower officials will be completely sure to take Lixian County. Please give your order, sir! When Fu Tong said this suddenly, Zhang An was stunned at first, and then he replied with great joy.

can make this veteran who is used to being a guard and deputy general so excited, it can be seen that Fu Tong's sudden decision made Zhang An surprised and full of expectations.

It can be said that this is the first time that Zhang An has sat in the position of chief general since he took up the military position.

"That's good! So decided! Hurry up and gather your troops and horses and join Bai Liu! After listening to Zhang An's answer, Fu Tong nodded and ordered, but when he finished speaking, he stopped Zhang An and said, "Wait! Zhang An, you go this time and let your son stay here. And, well! In this way, Ma Han Sima, you pick out 4,000 people from your own subordinates and hand them over to Zhang Xian Ling. ”

After speaking, Fu Tong gave another look in secret.

When Ma Han heard this, he also saw the hint that Fu Tong gave him, and immediately understood, obviously, the meaning of Fu Tong's words was to let him hand over all the 4,000 Nanyang soldiers under his command who originally belonged to Zhang Xiu's army to Zhang An.

"No!"

"No!"

Zhang An and Ma Han replied at the same time.

Zhang Ying was still young after all, after listening to Fu Tong's instructions, his face was still happy just now, and he immediately showed an extremely unhappy look, and his father Zhang An glared at him fiercely when he saw his son like this.

The reason why Fu Tong asked Zhang An to keep his son Zhang Ying was that Zhang Ying's performance was a little too carried away.

Second, Zhang An is cautious and cautious, old and serious, if Bai Liu really didn't lie, it would not be a big problem for him to complete the task of capturing Li County. However, if he takes Zhang Ying to Lixian County, Zhang An is very likely to be pitted by his son Zhang Ying.

In Childe's words, this is called a strength pit father.

Now, Yuan Shao, the strongest prince in the Han world, and his eldest son Yuan Tan are such a powerful master.

Fu Tong didn't want to ruin his own big things because of an arrogant young man, and besides, he was the chief guard of a county, so he didn't have to look at the face of a small county lieutenant to act.

After receiving the order, Zhang An and Ma Han Lianque left the banquet room.

Fu Tong suddenly changed his decision and handed over the task of capturing Li County to Zhang An, because he had two more important things to do:

First, build a defense system in Luyang County.

This time, Fu Tong's northern expedition to the northern part of Nanyang County will sooner or later be known by the Cao army, and the main general of the Cao army leading the army to attack Nanyang County is very likely to be Cao Ren stationed in Xu County.

Jin Jue commented that Cao Ren, a general, is extremely brave and good at defending but not very good at attacking, and his characteristics are very similar to Fu Tong. However, in comparison with the characteristics and abilities of the two, the current Cao Ren is superior.

First, Cao Ren's personal martial arts are much higher than Fu Tong's, which is an indisputable fact.

In Jin Jue's army, only Wei Yan's martial arts have been recognized by Lu Bu, not to mention Cheng Lian.

Second, since Cao Cao started his army, Cao Ren has been by his side, and has fought countless battles large and small, and in terms of experience, Fu Tong is also far behind him.

However, Fu Tong also has his own strengths, that is, he is good at defense, especially from Jin Jue, he learned a lot of positional defense and methods of city peace. When Jin Jue formulated the Nanyang strategy for Fu Tong, he had predicted that in the middle of the strategy, there would be a battle between Fu Tong and Cao Ren.

At that time, Fu Tong will make use of the existing forces in his hands, the geographical advantages of Luyang County, and the advantage of time as much as possible to build strong fortifications in and outside Luyang County in advance and prepare in advance.

This is also the reason why Fu Tong directly attacked Luyang County directly from the Xinye County Commandery. Once Luyang County is captured, and then attack other counties occupied by Cao's army, it is possible to intercept as many informants as possible who report bad news to Yingchuan.

And once Fu Tong's army and Cao's army fought in Luyang County, he should not think about how he should retreat, he must be like an iron nail, nailed to Luyang County, and blocked Cao's army in Luyang County. At that time, even if Liu Biao did not send troops to rescue Fu Tong, after Wei Yan took the entire Runan County, he would try his best to get the handsome army to help Fu Tong repel the incoming enemy from the flank.

Of course, Fu Tong did this in order to accumulate his personal combat experience, especially in the field, taking advantage of the dangers of mountains and rivers to fight a dynamic defensive battle with the enemy, rather than a passive defensive battle to defend the city.

In the latter method of warfare, Fu Tong had the time and opportunity to continue to fight with Cao Jun in the newly built Xinye City. In the boundary of Nanyang County, except for Wudang County, which borders Hanzhong County in the west, there is no better preset battlefield with mountains and rivers than Luyang County, which is extremely suitable for fighting dynamic defensive warfare.

In the sixth chapter of "The Art of War", "Fiction and Reality", it is said that those who are on the battlefield first and wait for the enemy will be discouraged, and those who will be on the battlefield and tend to fight will work. Therefore, those who are good at fighting will cause others but not others.

The gist of this sentence is roughly the same as the situation that Fu Tong is in now, in which the word '佚' is the 'Yi' of work and rest, and 'Zhi' is the meaning of transfer.

Second, immigration work.

It's a pity that in this work, the only two people who can help Fu Tong, Fu Gan and Yi Ji, now have their own tasks to do.

Fu Gan was busy helping Wei Yan capture Yang'an County, and then seize the entire Runan County, don't look at the establishment of Runan County is just a county, but in fact, this county, like Nanyang County, is the two largest counties in the world, and it is also the two counties with the most counties, it is not an exaggeration to say that Runan County alone accounts for about one-third of the territory of the entire Yuzhou Thorn History Department, and even, in the land of the fourteen states of the Han Dynasty, the inhabited territory of individual states is not as large as these two counties.

And the Iraqi nationality is busy recruiting people to build the new city according to the construction map of Xinyecheng New City drawn by Fu Tong, in fact, Jin Jue.

The matter of recruiting Jingzhou celebrities is still difficult for Fu Tong to do.
