Liu Zhang took Jia Xu back to the handsome tent and humbly asked him for a lot of advice, and the two talked happily.

The next day, after lunch, Liu Zhang ordered Hua Xiong, Zhang Xiu, and Hu Che'er to lead the first cavalry division as the lead of the whole army, open the interval to the martial arts search, and open the way for the army (Zhang Xiu brought more than 400 remnants, and persuaded some of the original Zhang Ji's henchmen to surrender among the prisoners, and the total strength was more than 1,700, according to Liu Zhang's rules, these soldiers could not be directly incorporated into the army, so Liu Zhang left them all in Weinan, and then scattered and incorporated into the armies after receiving complete training, and the soldiers could be temporarily idle, but Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er as generals could not, Considering that the two of them have been in the Xiliang Army for a long time, they are well versed in the cavalry method of warfare, and they know a lot about the Xiliang Army, and they will definitely be able to play an unexpected role in the enemy, Liu Zhang then put the two in Huaxiong's first cavalry division to assist Huaxiong in commanding the battle, Liu Zhang also hinted to Zhang Xiu that after Dong Zhuo was pacified, the cavalry would be expanded, and Zhang Xiu would definitely be allowed to lead a division of elite soldiers at that time. Zhang Xiu is familiar with military books, and what he hopes most is to follow Huo Quai's illness to chase the Huns and seal the wolf Juxu, but Zhang Ji out of love for his nephew, is unwilling to let him easily get into danger, so he has never had the opportunity to lead the troops to fight alone, Liu Zhang's hint immediately made him ecstatic, and Liu Zhang's request to let him temporarily be Huaxiong's deputy is also gladly accepted (not acceptable, who called others under the roof?). What's more, Hua Xiong is not an unknown person, of course he knew the name of the first fierce general of the Xiliang Army that year, although the halo was later suppressed by Lu Bu, but Lu Bu is an outsider, at the beginning, for Lu Bu, the Western Liang Army can be said to be fearful and disrespectful, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Western Liang, the name of the first fierce general of the Xiliang Army is still Hua Xiong), as for Jia Xu, Liu Zhang naturally kept him by his side to staff the military aircraft.

Half an hour after the cavalry set off, Hou Cheng's Fifth Division, Yang Ren's Fifth Brigade, Wu Ban's Sixth Brigade, half of the First Division (Li Yan led the other half of the division to stay in Weibei, and Gong Du to guard Weishui in the south and north), the first division of the Tiger Guard, and the division directly under the Fourth Field Corps, totaling 60,000 people, escorted Liu Zhang and 30,000 people to transport many supplies to leave the Weibei camp with the soldiers and civilians, and marched towards Wugong along the passage opened by the Third Cavalry Division.

Wugong county is on the edge of Weishui, if the cavalry gallops wildly, it can be reached in half an hour, even if the infantry moves slowly, it only takes more than one more than two hours to arrive, under the cover of the first cavalry division, the army arrived at the county seat without any danger.

Wugong is a small county, with a population of less than 10,000 households, so it can be seen that the scale of Wugong County will not be very large.

More than two miles north of Zhuma County, Liu Zhang looked at the narrow county town and low city walls not far away, if he launched an attack now, he was sure that at least seventy percent of them were sure to take it in one fell swoop, but it was not his goal to win martial arts!

Once the martial arts are breached, if Dong Zhuo thinks that Chang'an is not guaranteed, he leads his troops to evacuate Chang'an, converge with Li Dao and Guo Yan, and then use the advantage of his cavalry to attack Liu Zhang's army's long and difficult logistics supply line, or converge with Li Dao and Guo Yan, and hold heavy troops, fight steadily, and eat away at Liu Zhang's army step by step, Liu Zhang's Northern Expedition will undoubtedly be defeated. Only by letting Wugong in Dong Zhuo's hands will he give him an illusion, he will not easily make the decision to evacuate Chang'an, once he is unwilling to evacuate Chang'an, he will definitely send all the elite soldiers, even if he can't annihilate Liu Zhang's army, but also prevent them from leading the army to attack Chang'an, anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as Liu Zhang can't win quickly, with his fragile supply line, within three months, Liu Zhang will run out of food and retreat. Dong Zhuo has Dong Zhuo's calculations, how can Liu Zhang not have it? He is precisely to use his bait to attract Dong Zhuo's main force, so as to create an opportunity for Wei Yan, and when Wei Yan enters Guanzhong, he can take advantage of the opportunity of the empty garrison in Guanzhong to attack the city and seize the land, or lead the army to the east, and cooperate with Liu Zhangli and the outside, and defeat Dong Zhuo's main force in one fell swoop. Liu Zhang believed that with his troops, it would be impossible to attack Li Dao and Guo Yan, but he could still do it by entangling Li Dao and Guo Yan and preventing them from dividing their troops to extinguish the imminent war in Guanzhong.

"Order the army to camp three miles away from the city, the fifth division is in the north, the fifth brigade and the sixth brigade are in the left and right, the first division is in the south, and the cavalry division, the tiger guard division, the first brigade, and the division directly under the fourth field army are in the center, and tell all departments that we will face a strong attack by the enemy army several times our own, and the construction of the camp must be improved, and tell the soldiers that if you want to return to Yizhou alive, you must repair the camp as strong as it is, because that is the talisman for all of us!"

"The last general obeys!" Gao complied and personally went to command the army to set up camp.

"Let's go back too!" Liu Zhang said, turned the horse's head and left.

Two hours later, the barracks had begun to take shape, the rooms were ready for a sumptuous dinner, the soldiers and the soldiers and civilians hurriedly had dinner and then lit thousands of torches, and continued the construction, the sky-high fire made the Wugong county not far away seem to be shrouded in the sunset.

Looking at the lively construction scene, Liu Zhang was worried that Li Le would take the opportunity to attack, so he ordered the Third Cavalry Division to be ready to go, and once there was a situation, the Third Division would be dispatched immediately.

After fighting for two hours, Liu Zhang was worried that the serious physical wear and tear of the soldiers would affect the battle behind, so he ordered the first brigade to be on guard, and all the other soldiers returned to the camp to rest.

In the early hours of the next morning, the soldiers went to work again after breakfast. By noon that day, the entire camp had been built.

The whole camp is more than six miles in radius, composed of five relatively independent camps in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, a trench that surrounds the entire camp is two zhang wide and one zhang deep, and is the first line of defense of the camp, and behind the trench is the second line of defense composed of countless deer, and then the third and last one, the strongest one is built with an earthen ram, reinforced with logs with a high two zhang and half a zhang wide earthen wall, and the outside of the earthen wall is set up every half a zhang wide fence made of logs, and the soldiers can hide behind to avoid the enemy's attack. When the enemy approaches, you can counterattack the enemy from the space left on the earthen wall, and every twenty zhang on the earthen wall is built an all-wooden arrow tower about five zhang high, which can be used as a lookout post or a sharp weapon to defend against the enemy, and each arrow tower is equipped with a bed crossbow and five operators, and five archers. On the inside of the camp, there are fifty captured trebuchets in the east, south, west, and north, which can effectively strike at the enemy.

In Liu Zhang's view, as far as the defensive strength of this battalion is concerned, it is already above the ordinary county town, as long as the soldiers are attentive to resist Li Dao and Guo Yan for a month, you must know that Li Dao's main force is cavalry, and he is not good at attacking fortifications. However, Liu Zhang's grain and grass were not enough to support 60,000 troops and 30,000 people to eat for a month, in order to reduce the loss of soldiers' food and reduce the sacrifice of the people, Liu Zhang sent Hua Xiong to escort 20,000 people back to Weibei, and asked Li Yan to arrange for them to return to Weinan, which was safer, leaving only 10,000 people in the camp to be responsible for food and transporting supplies, and 20,000 mouths were less to eat, and Liu Zhang's food was enough for a month.

When Liu Zhang was quietly marquish Li Dao and Guo Yan outside Wugong County, another army quietly set off from Hanzhong under the leadership of Wei Yan and Zhang Fei, and advanced to Guanzhong through Chencang Road.

Yizhou soldiers are known all over the world, but when it comes to the most elite are nothing more than three, the first is an independent infantry division expanded by the former Yingwu Army of Liu Zhang's starting unit, which is now part of the Second Field Army, and it is also the only division-level independent combat unit in Liu Zhang's army, don't look at his deployment in the Second Field Army, but it is directly under the jurisdiction of Liu Zhang, the commander of this division can directly talk to Liu Zhang, if the commander of this division thinks that the military order of the commander of the Second Field Army is unrealistic, he has the right to refuse to execute it, and look at the entire Liu Zhang's army, This is the only unit to receive this distinction; Even Liu Zhang's pro-army Tiger Guard Division can only rank second in terms of combat power; the third is naturally the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade trained by Gao Shun; Behind this are the 4th and 5th Independent Brigades of the Infantry that were adapted from the original Dongzhou Army and the Jinfan Army of Gan Ning, which was formed soon after the formation of the Navy Army.

This time, Liu Zhang handed over the task of conquering Luoyukou to the First Independent Infantry Brigade, so who will gnaw on the hard bone of Chencang Daokou Sanguan? Liu Zhang knew very well that there was only one chance to attack Sanguan, and once it was defeated, the enemy army was prepared, and it was completely possible to rely on the dangerous terrain to block several times or even ten times the enemy army, and if Guanzhong supported in time, I am afraid that the troops 100 times larger than the enemy might not be able to capture Sanguan. Liu Zhang thought about it for a long time, thinking that whether it was Yang Ren's Fifth Brigade or Zhang Fei's Seventh Division or Yu Ban's Twelfth Division, he had to divide his pro-army Tiger Guard Division into two, with Wu Ming and Zhou Cang leading 7,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry to follow him, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei leading 10,000 infantry as the pioneers to take the Sanguan for the Western Route Army.
