Chapter 307: News from the North
Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were many times larger than the scale in history, but the population and economy of Jizhou were there, and Jizhou at this time was about to be seven or eight million, and it was still increasing.
Yuan Shao has this capital.
He has the support of the Zhen family behind him, and the economic strength of the Zhen family is amazing.
And the scale of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses is also much larger, it can be said that the princes, including Dong Zhuo, have changed a lot from the original history.
The difference is Gongsun Zhan, at this time Gongsun Chan did not occupy Liaodong, but in Youbeiping.
Ten days later, Dong Zhuo also received the news.
"Damn Zhang Yu, and Cao Cao, who was stabbed with a thousand knives, actually raised an army to crusade against me." Dong Zhuo was so angry that he scolded.
"Prime Minister, according to the news we received, Yuan Shao's family alone has hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and if the other people and horses really attack together, the number of troops may reach more than one million, so please give the Prime Minister an order to recruit more soldiers and horses immediately." Li Ru said.
"Hmph, what about the million-strong army, just a group of clowns jumping off the beam, my 500,000 Xiliang army, unparalleled in combat power, how can they compare."
Although Dong Zhuo was tough in words, he finally agreed to the decision to recruit 200,000 soldiers and horses from Xiliang and Luoyang.
People from all walks of life are urgently recruiting and preparing for a big battle.
And Zhang Yu also began to prepare.
After coming back from going out to help set up the county, Zhang Yu began to reorganize.
First of all, his own Iron Wall Army replenished 10,000 soldiers and horses.
The armor of the Iron Wall Legion is excellent, and it can fight on horseback, and it can also fight when dismounted, and it is skilled in arching horses.
The Iron Wall Legion is Zhang Yu's personal guard legion, and the requirements of the soldiers are very high, if they are all-powerful.
And the Flame Legion, positioning the archers, was also equipped with all the weapons and equipment at this time.
Coupled with Zhao Yun's Swift Wind Legion, three legions, 30,000 horses, and weapons and equipment are extremely sophisticated.
In addition, Zhang Yu also established a new legion, Ling Cao's Dreadnought Legion.
The difference is that Ling Cao is led by infantry.
A legion wants to attack the city, and it is more convenient for the infantry, and Ling Cao's army is not 10,000 people, but 20,000 people.
With the 50,000 soldiers and horses in reserve, Zhang Yu's attack force has reached 100,000.
The garrison of 10,000 soldiers and horses has also expanded to 20,000, 10,000 guarding Huiji County and 10,000 guarding Wu County.
The legion is in place, and then the training.
The time of dispatch is less than a month, and each corps also has to undergo half a month of high-intensity training.
However, Zhang Yu did not participate, he has an important thing now, that is, getting married.
At this time, his power is already very large, and if he is not married, his subordinates are also very anxious.
The date had been chosen, just three days before the departure of the troops.
This time Zhang Yu's wedding was very low-key, and he didn't invite anyone else, all of them were people in his sphere of influence.
Originally, according to Zhang Yu's current status, it should be greatly managed.
But Zhang Yu didn't have that time, and he didn't have that thought.
The preparation for the battle of Dong and the development of the territory involved too much of his energy.
After more than ten days of preparation, everything was ready.
"Lord, your hundred-county strategy has been completed, but it is said that the county seat has been established, but only a few thousand people are gathered there, and most of the surrounding areas are a wasteland." Zhang Zhao reported.
"Don't worry, as long as the county seat is established, I will naturally have a way to let them develop quickly."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said to Zhang Zhao: "In the future, there will be no such large-scale establishment of county seats, but in addition to developing the existing county seats, if you find where suitable for development, you must also establish a county seat and develop it." ”
Zhang Zhao received the order.
There are soon five days left before the time to send out the troops, and Zhang Yu's wedding is approaching.
On this day, Guo Jia happily walked into the county guard mansion with a few people to find Zhang Yu.
"Lord, look who's coming." Guo Jia said happily to Zhang Yu.
"Yuan sigh, why are you here?" What Zhang Yu saw turned out to be Gu Yong.
"Haha, lord, you are about to get married, how can I not come, now it is quite convenient to travel between the north and the south, and now the north is closed by heavy snow, Wuhuan cannot attack, and the minister also has some things to report, so I will come in person." Gu Yong said.
"Okay, great, please sit down and tell me about the current situation in Liaodong." Zhang Yu said.
"My lord, there are three main situations that my subordinates want to report." Gu Yong said.
First, the Wuhuan civil strife in the north had just subsided, and the Xianbei in the north and the Xiongnu in the west showed signs of invasion because of the population surge, so Wuhuan did not dare to attack at this time.
Second, the lord proposed to establish Shenyang City, at this time has been preparing for half a year, but has not yet started, please tell the lord when to establish Shenyang City.
Thirdly, we have found some information on the Mahan Peninsula that the lord mentioned, they have a population of hundreds of thousands, and their strength is not small, and now there are signs of an invasion of Liaodong.
Gu Yong reported three situations in a row.
The first situation is neither good nor bad, the threat of Wuhuan can be ignored for the time being, but in the long run, it may also face the threat of Xianbei and Xiongnu.
The third news made Zhang Yu pay attention to it.
In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, the small states in the Mahan region often invaded, and were later destroyed by Cao Cao.
Now, Zhang Yu has started the population boom mode, and the population in the Mahan area was originally only a few hundred thousand, but now it has swelled to hundreds of thousands.
The huge population makes them more offensive attributes.
Therefore, Zhang Yu should pay attention to it.
"Yuan sigh, these news are very important. Now Liaodong and Xuansu County are short of troops, and after returning to increase 10,000 horses, and the construction of Shenyang City will begin next summer, and Shenyang City will be larger in scale, at least able to accommodate a million people. Zhang Yu said.
Of course, you don't need to deal with Wuhuan, but a Mahan has a population of hundreds of thousands, so the population size of Xianbei and Xiongnu at this time must also exceed Zhang Yu's expectations.
So Zhang Yu plans to build a super big city.
At the same time, Zhang Yu also asked Gu Yong to pay attention to Ma Han's news.
The news from the north is very important, but Zhang Yu can't take care of it at this time, fortunately, Gu Yong is here, how can Gu Yong be a prime minister-level talent.
Zhang Yu also asked Gu Yong to establish a few more counties in Liaodong after he went back, but Xuanwu County was too close to the grassland, and Zhang Yu didn't let him establish it, so he couldn't take care of it when the time came.
After arranging all the things in the north, Zhang Yu felt that when the battle against Dong was over, he must focus on solving the problems in the north.
In the north, the enemy is even stronger, and once it can't stop the steppe peoples, then it will be catastrophic.
Zhang Yu can't let the five chaos of later generations appear, so he will solve it after the battle against Dong.
Now, what Zhang Yu has to do is to get married and solve his marriage.
His marriage is not a trivial matter, and it is related to the stability of the entire force.
The big wedding is approaching, although I don't plan to make a big deal, but it is also more grand.
There is only one bride, Xiang Xin, this is something that Zhang Yu can't change, although several other people have the same status in Zhang Yu's heart, but this is ancient, and there are still rules.
