At noon on the second day, Zhang Yan led the people of Montenegro to the camp in Jixian County to accept Yuan Xi's arrangement. Yuan Xi and his generals yesterday had a preliminary plan on how to arrange the Montenegrin army.

Although the Montenegrin army had 100,000 people, excluding the elderly, weak, women and children, and some members who did not want to join the army, there were only less than 50,000 left.

Youzhou is in ruins, and the most lacking thing is population and labor, and the eliminated Montenegrin Army is also very willing to stay in Youzhou and rebuild their homes.

The remaining more than 40,000 Montenegrin troops selected 10,000 strong young people who can like mountain life and are good at climbing rocks and walls to form a special force called the Montenegrin Field Army, and select members who are good at riding can be assessed to join the cavalry team, and members who are good at business and clever are assessed to join the intelligence team, and most of them can be assessed to participate in the infantry or Jixian reserves.

Zhang Yan and other Montenegrin people were very satisfied with Yuan Xi's arrangement, and their leader found a good way out for themselves.

After arranging Montenegro, Yuan Xi naturally turned his gaze to Zhao Yun, and invited very sincerely: "I heard that General Zilong was also the commander of the White Horse Yicong back then, I don't know if I can give guidance to the archers of our army?" Although Zhao Yun had no intention of joining Yuan Shao's camp, he still had a good impression of Yuan Xi and agreed to Yuan Xi's request, and he also wanted to know why the cavalry shooters under Yuan Xi were so stable and shot so easily?

After arranging everyone, the problem of Montenegro was successfully solved, and Yuan Xi ordered someone to arrange a simple dinner party that night, and everyone also spoke freely after drinking, indicating that only Yuan Xi would be the first to look forward to the future.

Yuan Xi looked at the oath of his generals, and his team was also beginning to take shape, and there were more than a dozen people, and he was a little proud in his heart.

However, years of experience in the Anti-Japanese War allowed Yuan Xi to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and quickly calmed down, and in addition to gratitude, he encouraged the generals to still be loyal to their duties, not to be the slightest slack, and there will be a life-and-death battle waiting for him soon.

Everyone also admired Yuan Xi's honor and disgrace, and was even more sure that he was following a master. The banquet dispersed that night, only Zhang Yan seemed to have something important to talk about, so Yuan Xi left Zhang Yan behind.

I saw Zhang Yan step forward and bowed: "Lord Qi, Zhang Yan, I still have a reluctant request, I don't know if I can agree?" Yuan Xi replied with a smile: "General Zhang, you and I are both my own family, and if you have any requests, you don't need to be polite." Zhang Yan is also a bold person, and said directly: "I have the daughter of a deceased person, entrusted by me on my deathbed, and now I want to go back to the barracks, and then I am afraid that it will be inconvenient, so I want her to find an errand in the Assassin's Mansion, which is worthy of her friends." What does the lord think? Yuan Xi praised: "General Zhang is really a loving and righteous person, this matter is easy, there is a shortage of people in my house, and the housekeeper will arrange it after he comes." After the incident, Zhang Yan also thanked him and said goodbye and went back to the barracks.

The successful acquisition of Montenegro this time has greatly improved Youzhou's strength. In terms of troops: there are 50,000 infantry, of which 5,000 are heavy infantry halberds; There were 10,000 cavalry, 5,000 pikes, 5,000 archers, and 10,000 the Black Mountain Field Army led by Zhang Yan.

Intelligence: In addition to relying on intelligence personnel to transmit intelligence, Yuan Xi also began to try to cultivate carrier pigeons.

Economically: Youzhou is in ruins, and the Montenegrin Army has been absorbed, and there is not much food in the treasury.

In addition to saving expenses, I still applied for help from Jizhou, and I had to sigh that money is not everything, but it can't be without money.

In terms of talents: Zhang He and Zhang Yan are in charge of the infantry, although Zhao Yun did not take refuge in himself, he also promised to help him train the cavalry for a short time, but Yuan Xi left it behind with confidence!

Xun Zhan is responsible for inspecting all parts of Youzhou, promoting useful talents, Tian Chou is responsible for running the restaurant, since Yuan Xi changed fermentation and liquor to distillation and liquor, the business is booming, as long as it is a period of time, Youzhou can be completely self-sufficient, and it is no longer suitable for the bitter cold place.

Tian Feng and Tian Yu were responsible for intelligence gathering and liaison work, and only by collecting more information and faster information in war years or in peacetime could they gain the initiative.

Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch, and Xian Yupu led the county soldiers to be stationed on the border to prevent a surprise attack by foreign Karasuma. Although Karasuma is now in charge of the pro-Yuan faction, but it is not my race, its heart is unpredictable, and if there is still a period of time in the battle of Guandu, Yuan Xi will definitely clean up Karasuma first.

It's a pity that time waits for no one, the battle report of Yuan Xi's subjugation of Montenegro has just been sent, and Tian Yu has sent the information that Liu Bei was defeated and surrendered to Yuan Shao.

It seems that the battle of Guandu is not far away, and Yuan Xi must go to Jizhou, which may not be able to change the situation of the battle, at least to preserve his strength and reduce casualties.

Yuan Xi didn't want his family to be cannon fodder, so he took Xun Zhan, Tian Yu, Zhao Yun and a small number of guards to Jizhou, so that Youzhou officials would abide by their duties, develop Youzhou, and wait for orders.
