In more than a month, Liu Fan completed the division of the western Xianbei regions.

There were six Xianbei tribes along the Beihe River in the north of Shuofang and south of Wolf Mountain, and Liu Fan took away a large part of their cattle, sheep, livestock and war horses, and let them use the fertile land of Hetao to reclaim wasteland and plant grains, which were taught by students engaged in agriculture in the Tianxia Academy.

Each Xianbei was only allowed 2,000 cavalry, with the Xianbei Sima in charge of governing his own tribe and the Han lieutenant in charge of supervising the Xianbei Sima.

These six Xianbei are located in the north of Shuofang, which can also be regarded as the barrier of Shuofang.

In the south of Sanfeng County, south of Jilusai, there are two Xianbei stationed in it.

Around Helan Mountain, there are four Xianbei stationed in it.

So far, the entire Hetao land, there are Xianbei subordinate guards outside, and Han army and Jiansai inside.

As long as Liu Fan can control these Xianbei people, it will be his huge help.

The night raid on the Xiongnu royal court captured tens of thousands of Xiongnu people, Liu Fan ordered them to move to the southernmost Xiudu of Shuofang, where the territory of the former Xiongnu Huyan Department, north of Daze, abundant water and grass.

Liu Fan's fourth horse farm was born here. And the people who herd horses for him are no longer Xianbei, but the Huns.

Whether it is the Huns or the Xianbei people. Liu Fan has a warning: Those who keep to themselves will have no worries about food and clothing. Who would dare to make trouble? The army is headed, slaughter its troops, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!

……

When Liu Fan defeated Xianbei in the west, he sent people to Yanmen to inform the military advisor Jia Xu and launch a recruitment order.

This time, a large number of brave men from the countryside were recruited into the army.

Liu Fan planned to divide the four thousand Yinshan Iron Cavalry, the five thousand Dragon Cavalry, the three thousand Mo Sword Army, and the one thousand Trap Camp.

The number of troops was expanded from 70,000 to 120,000.

This meant that at least 60,000 more soldiers had to be recruited.

Because there were many casualties in this battle, it was necessary to make up for all the casualties.

The Yinshan Iron Cavalry is still 3,000 turquoise cavalry and 1,000 heavy cavalry.

Its supplementary personnel are the brave soldiers of the various armies.

Guan Yu still led the Yinshan Iron Cavalry, and led another 30,000 cavalry, of which 10,000 were beggar cavalry.

Xu Huang led 40,000 cavalry infantry.

Zhang Liao led 20,000 cavalry.

Huang Zhong led 20,000 cavalry.

Gao Shun led 1,000 trapped camps and 10,000 cavalry infantry.

Except for Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, the rest of the generals were appointed under the command of several generals.

As for the stationing place of Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and other generals, Liu Fan did not order the arrangement.

The entire Hetao and Yanmen have a population of more than 3 million. Liu Fan's recruitment order, in addition to Yanmen and Hetao, in the secluded land, countless strong men from Taiyuan and Shangdang came to visit.

In just three months, the recruitment of soldiers and horses from all over the country has been completed.

In the arsenal were weapons and armor that had been prepared long ago, and the horses were all prepared for them.

In mid-February, the recruits were transferred to Yunzhong County.

At this time, Yunzhong County, together with the new army, gathered a total of 100,000 troops. The dragon horse, the Yinshan iron horse, the Mo knife army, and the trapped camp are all there.

Jilusai and Gaoquesai were garrisoned by 5,000 cavalry led by Gao Kai to prevent the Southern Xiongnu.

In Shangjun and within the river, Jiang Jun led 5,000 beggar cavalry to garrison to prevent abnormalities in Liangzhou.

Yanmen stayed behind with 10,000 cavalry, which was mobilized by Jia Xu to prevent Xianbei in the east.

Liu Fan knew that the Hu people did not have the courage to come to the Han realm again. But still left heavy troops to guard the fortress, just in case.

"The last general, Zhang Liao, meet the general."

After Zhang Liao led the recruits to Yanmen, he knelt directly on the ground and knocked on the ground with his head.

Zhang Liao's injuries did not hurt his muscles and bones, and after several months of recuperation, he has healed.

"Wen Yuan, why is this? Hurry up, please! Liu Fan said knowingly.

"Zhang Liao is ashamed of the general, and he doesn't dare to see the general's face."

Zhang Liao faced the ground and said to Liu Fan.

He didn't expect that he would be besieged because of his recklessness. The general also added military merits to himself. He used to command 10,000 cavalry, but now he is in command of 20,000 cavalry.

"But you lost because of the raid on Xianbei?" Liu Fan asked Zhang Liao.

"Exactly! Zhang Liao was reckless and killed countless soldiers. ”

Zhang Liao replied, still facing the loess.

"Wen Yuan's tactic is not a reckless move, but it has to be done, but Xianbei is too cunning. It is said that Wenyuan annihilated 10,000 enemies with a division of 5,000. Seize its sharpness and tire our army to victory. It's just that although it is good to be bold in using troops, it is also necessary to win steadily. ”

Liu Fan helped Zhang Liao up and said to him solemnly.

More than 5,000 against 50,000, not chaotic in the face of danger, and 10,000 people in battle, it is already comparable to the famous generals of the ancients.

In all fairness, if he were Zhang Liao, maybe he would also take away the Xianbei baggage. Xianbei food was robbed, and he could only return with a feather. The Yanmen crisis was self-solving.

When he hadn't seen the power of the Mo Dao Army, even if Zhang Liao knew that there was an ambush, he would gamble.

The Modao Army is very powerful, and the whole army knows it, but it has never been in actual combat, and it is unstable in his heart.

"The general added Zhang Liao's military merits to four silver leaves. He also let Zhang Liao command 20,000 cavalry, which is really deserved. The last general is willing to erase military exploits and start from a small pawn. Charge into battle for the general. ”

Zhang Liao said guiltily.

"Alas! I have lost a thousand troops, do I want to lose another general? Liu Fan said with a sigh.

"Zhang Wenyuan, what are you doing? Training the new army is a reward for the general, and you are disobeying military orders! ”

As soon as Liu Fan's words fell, Huang Zhong stepped forward and scolded Zhang Liao.

Don't look at Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao's leading troops, but Huang Zhong is a golden leaf of military merit, and his official position is far greater than Zhang Liao's, and he has been Zhang Liao's general.

Even if Huang Zhong pointed at Zhang Liao's nose and scolded, Zhang Liao didn't dare to refute.

"Zhang Liao is rude! The last general will give the soldiers courage with all their heart and soul in the future. Train an elite division for the generals. ”

Zhang Liao bowed to Liu Fan.

"This is my Zhang Wenyuan." Liu Fan patted Zhang Liao's shoulder, looking like he was optimistic about you.

In the clouds, Wuquan County.

Hundreds of miles away, you can hear the roaring sound of Wuquan County's war horses.

50,000 recruits, 50,000 veterans. A total of 100,000 troops were camped for dozens of miles and stationed in Wuquan County.

Liu Fan led Xun You, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and other generals to the high slope to observe the camps.

"The Great General's vigorous construction of the Iron City has finally come into play. Armor and weapons that were damaged after the Great War can be replaced at any time. Recruit 50,000 recruits, and in just a few months, they are fully armed. ”

Xun You said to Liu Fan, admiring Liu Fan's foresight.

Liu Fan's efforts in iron mines and blacksmiths are obvious to all.

Xun You was originally temporarily led to the county guard, and Liu Fan transferred Xun You back last month. Appointed Hua Xin as the Taishou of Shangjun.

"Ordinary two-tier armor is not enough to give the soldiers a comprehensive defense. When all our troops put on the armor of bright light, it is the time to be invincible. Liu Fan looked at the training figure below and said.

"Mingguang armor is too difficult to make, it is accumulated with skilled craftsmen and time. It has been more than three years since the establishment of the Iron City, and only more than 10,000 sets of Mingguang armor have been cast. In recent years, the campaign has also lost a lot of Mingguang armor, and only Yinshan Iron Cavalry, Longxiang Cavalry, and Dragon Bird are wearing Mingguang armor in the current army. If you want to speed up the casting of the Mingguang Armor, you must have a few more iron cities. ”

Xun You's tone was very regretful.

"Iron cities are easy to build, blacksmiths are too hard to find."

In this regard, Liu Fan shook his head.

Unless he can gather the world's blacksmiths, but that's not realistic.
