In fact, at this time, Zhang Liao's strength in the party had far exceeded 10,000, reaching nearly 20,000, and they were all young and elite soldiers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mingli, Huguan and his eldest son have stationed 12,000 soldiers and horses, including the original 3,000 Danyang soldiers of Biqiu Yi, the 2,000 county soldiers led by Zhaozhao, and the 2,000 elite and powerful troops who were recruited and selected, and 5,000 elite Black Mountain thieves and 5,000 prisoners.

Zhang Liao then set up a broken army, the establishment of 5,000 people, composed of 3,000 Danyang soldiers and 2,000 integrated Black Mountain thieves and prisoners, he forcibly invited out of the Biqiu Yi alias Qiu Yi to lead the army, as the captain of the broken captivity, and transferred Yang Han from Hedong to assist Biqiu Yi, and promoted to other Sima.

As for the scout battalion originally led by Yang Han, it has been disbanded and set up separately by each army, and with the expansion of Zhang Liao's troops and territory, the separate scout battalion is no longer applicable, and must be set up separately by each army, so that it can be called in time in wartime.

In addition, Zhang Liao also transferred Guo Cheng, selected good archers from the captives and powerful tribes, expanded the sharpshooter battalion to 3,400 people, and promoted Guo to become the Sima of other departments.

He also selected from these captives who could ride horses, and expanded the cavalry battalion from 800 horsemen after Zhao Wu left to 4,800 horsemen, which he personally led.

The people of Bingzhou are close to Saibei, and there are more people who can shoot arrows on horseback, which is much higher than the proportion of cavalry and archers selected from Yingchuan at the beginning.

This is just Zhang Liaoming's power, and in secret, Dian Wei copied Yang Feng's lair, plus the annexation of the other three thieves, the strength of the ghost face army also exceeded 8,000, this is still the number after removing the turnips, you must know that Yang Feng's strength was originally more than 30,000, Zhang Liao captured tens of thousands, Dian Wei also captured tens of thousands, not counting the thieves captured from several other thieves.

These Black Mountain thieves have been crisscrossing the Taihang Mountains for several years, and their combat effectiveness is not bad, and the proportion of this intake is close to fifty percent, all of them are the elite of the elite, as long as they practice again, their combat effectiveness is definitely not bad.

After the expansion of Dian Wei's Ghost Face Army, the Ghost Face Army was divided into two battalions, the inner camp was 3,000 warriors, based on the original 800 Tiger Battalion, and the selection was the elite of the elite. The 5,000 people in the outer battalion, although they are also elite, are much worse than the inner battalion, but even so, the combat effectiveness of these outer battalions should not be underestimated, because they were originally selected from all kinds of bandits.

Zhang Liao appointed Dian Wei as the captain of the Tiger, but he took over his original position, and Dian Wei appointed him, which was also justified.

In addition to the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Shangdang, plus the soldiers and horses of Hedong and Yingchuan, Zhang Liao's troops now exceed 30,000, and the territory under his actual control has also reached three counties, Hedong, Shangdang and Yingchuan.

This is inseparable from Guo Jia's clever plan, whether it is a pit or a forcible occupation, anyway, the strength is constantly expanding.

It's just that Yingchuan is too far away, and it is still difficult to control it now, so Gao Shun and Tang Xiang can only develop independently. And the strength of the party cannot be clearly displayed, and it can only make a fortune in a muffled voice.

For Zhang He, who stayed in Hedong, and Gao Shun, who was far away in Yingchuan, Zhang Liao also passed on the appointment of promotion, Zhang He was the captain of Huaiyi, and Gao Shun was the captain of Jianzhong. The rest of the soldiers such as Han Ke and Mu Han were also promoted to Sima.

As for his killing of Yang Feng and the incorporation of the Montenegrin Army under his command, it will inevitably attract the hostility of other Montenegrin troops, but Zhang Liao doesn't care.

Although the Taihang Black Mountain Army claims to be one million, like the Yellow Turban Army, it drags families with mouths, and in fact, there are only about 200,000 soldiers who can fight, and most of the rest are family members.

And the Montenegrin army is not a well-organized whole, but a scattered combination, according to Zhang Liao's understanding, today's Taihang Montenegrin army has Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, Huang Long, Zuo Xiao, Yu Yigen, Qingniujiao, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Shi, Zuo Zhangba, Pinghan, Daji, Yu Poison, Bai Huan, Sui Gu and other forces of more than 30 sizes, tens of thousands of people, thousands of people, and the thief Zhang Yan can not be completely controlled.

Where there are people, there will be fights, not to mention unruly thieves, Zhang Liao learned through the captives that there is also a secret fight between Zhang Yan and Yang Feng, the two largest forces of the Montenegrin Army, just because Yang Feng's strength is second only to Zhang Yan, and he acts aggressively, which makes Zhang Yan jealous.

In this way, Zhang Liao's extermination of Yang Feng will only make Zhang Yan secretly relieved, and the idea of revenge may be there, but Zhang Yan's Montenegro base camp is at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, close to the Jizhou area, and Yang Feng is at the western foot of Taihang Mountain, close to the Shangdang area, and they are not familiar with the terrain with each other.

Even though Zhang Liao is constantly collecting talents, he still feels that there is a lack of available talents under his command, and as for the two juniors, Dianman and Guan Ping, they are really a little young, and it takes two or three years to enter the army for training.

In the next month or two, he mainly stayed in Shangdang, trained soldiers and horses, sent Dian Wei to explore the terrain of Taihang Mountain, and described the terrain of Shangdang by Shangdang, and established a sand table in Shangdang, Taihang, Taiyuan and Jizhou, and would return to Hedong from time to time, so as not to be found abnormal, but the daily affairs have been entrusted to Wangyi, and he said that he was training troops outside to prevent the attack of Kanto.

In fact, his main target has turned to Taiyuan County, and all the shadows under Zhang Jian have been scattered, and once the Shangdang soldiers and horses are successfully purged, he will seek an opportunity to occupy Taiyuan.

And Taiyuan is also Zhang Liao's hometown, and he is very familiar with it, which is a big advantage for him.

Just when Zhang Liao was concentrating on training and sharpening his sword to Taiyuan, the Kanto region was also surging.

In Youzhou, Jixian County, and in the Jihou Mansion, a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows and a high nose, a cold and angular face looked angry, he was Gongsun Zhan.

In the rebellion of Saibei, he joined hands with Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and a soft and rigid one, and successively quelled the rebellion of Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and Wuhuan Qiu Liju in Liaoxi, and defeated Wuhuan and Xianbei many times, and surrendered the Wuhuan leader Greedy to the king, and was promoted to the general of Fenwu and named the Marquis of Ji.

Because the alien race had killed Gongsun Zhan's benefactor, Liu Taishou of Zhuojun, and repeatedly violated the border, Gongsun Zhan hated Wuhuan and Xianbei very much, and every time he fought fiercely, he never stopped.

He has trained an elite soldier in the battlefield of a hundred battles, and because he likes to charge into battle on a white horse, he selected dozens of his most brave and good subordinates, riding white horses as escorts, and calling himself "White Horse Righteous Servant".

After the Kwantung princes raised troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and the Son of Heaven lost control of the Kwantung Prefecture, Gongsun Chan did not follow the crusade against Dong Zhuo, but took the opportunity to rapidly expand his strength, and now he has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses under his control, plus 3,000 white horses, invincible, and is the strongest among the princes, far above Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

At this time, Gongsun Chan was boiling with anger.

Seeing that the lord was angry, Guan Jing, the chief historian below, hurriedly asked, "But I don't know why the prince is angry?" ”

Gongsun Chan snorted: "Liu Bo'an is extremely confused! (To be continued.) )
