At this time, Yan Pu was standing there full of envy for Ma Chao, Liu Feng had great ambitions in his heart, how could Yan Pu not see it, but he was a minister rather than a general, naturally he did not have the record that Ma Chao could do, and once he took the initiative to ask for surrender, his status in Liu Feng's camp would definitely not be high. Or maybe you can do a little bit for the general! ”

Liu Feng helped Yan Pu up again, and then his face showed a relaxed look, Ma Chao and Yan Pu are talents that Liu Feng has already looked at, and now that he has these two people, his task is half completed.

Yan Pu is not very famous in the Central Plains, but Liu Feng had a relationship with Yan Pu when he guarded Jia Mengguan for Liu Zhang last time, when Yan Pu dared to come to Liu Feng's camp alone without knowing Liu Feng's life, and negotiated with Liu Feng with reasonable evidence, which left a very deep impression on Liu Feng.

Liu Feng didn't know what Yan Pu's strategy was, but he knew that a person who could have such courage would definitely not be a mediocre person, and if Liu Feng wanted to take charge of Hanzhong, he would definitely need to be assisted by someone who was very familiar with the affairs of Hanzhong, and this Yan Pu was naturally the best candidate for this matter.

"The land of a county in Nanzhong, I have been handed over to Liu Zhang, south of Qiqi, there is no one in charge of the county of Yizhou County, General Gongqi will go to the county of Yizhou to serve as a guard, this Hanzhong sergeant, the general can carry five thousand to go, Zhang Wei will accompany him, then he will be like Liu Zhang, the affairs of the county, Feng will no longer interfere, what does the general think?"

After taking the two into his command, Liu Feng directly announced that Zhang Lu would be assigned to Yizhou County, which was a little farther away than the Qiqi, and the population was more scarce, and Liu Feng only gave Zhang Lu 5,000 military horses, because Zhang Lu was quite good at demagoguery, and Liu Feng knew very well what he did in the land of Hanzhong, so he found such a place for him.

Even if Zhang Lu does Hanzhong things in Yizhou County, it will not have much impact, and Yizhou County is adjacent to Qiqi County, Liu Feng believes that once Zhang Lu makes a move, with Liu Zhang's bad relationship with Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang will definitely secretly inform Liu Feng of these things, therefore, Liu Feng put Zhang Lu in Nanzhong, one has fulfilled his name of benevolence, righteousness and generosity, and the other has Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, and most of the heroes in Nanzhong will be suppressed by the two, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

"Lu Duo thanks General Ziwei for his gift, I can have this pure land for me to control, Lu is grateful!" Zhang Lu is naturally not unhappy with this result, in this era of success and defeat, it is already a good ending to be able to save a life, and according to Liu Feng's words, that is, as long as he lives in Yizhou County in peace, Liu Feng will never interfere in the internal affairs of his Yizhou County, although Yizhou County is far away in the hinterland of Nanzhong, but it can also be a leisure, and can stay away from the war, Zhang Lu thought about it in his heart, but he was also very satisfied, so he almost bowed to Liu Feng at the moment to thank Liu Feng for his generosity.

In less than an hour, Liu Feng distributed the people under Zhang Lu's command, in addition to Yan Pu and Ma Chao, Liu Feng asked Ma Chao to identify some generals to join Liu Feng's army, and the rest of the people, Liu Feng simply left it to Zhang Lu, what he lacked at this time is a general like Ma Chao who can take charge alone, not those partial generals who are not in the stream, if the truth is compared, everyone in the Feiyu Guard is only stronger than Zhang Lu, the so-called generals, Therefore, Liu Feng has little interest in these people whose loyalty is not clear.

After the matter was over, Liu Feng put the 50,000 Jiameng Pass army outside the pass into the Yangping Pass, Ma Chao looked from afar, only to see that the sergeants under Liu Feng were all well-armored, tiger-backed and full of spirit, and couldn't help but be confident in the formation of a cavalry comparable to the tiger and leopard cavalry in Liu Feng's army, Liu Feng's sergeant, the hardware is no longer any problem, what is lacking, only excellent war horses and skilled riding skills, and these, is exactly what Ma Chao can provide.

After the 50,000 Jiamengguan army entered the customs, Liu Feng first picked out the remaining 40,000 Hanzhong sergeants out of 30,000, who were more worthy of a war, and picked out all the old or infirm soldiers, and ordered Zhang Lu to select 5,000 of these people to take to Yizhou County, Zhang Lu looked at the nearly 10,000 remnants of the soldiers, and felt a little miserable, but helplessly this was the sergeant under his command, at this time he couldn't go to Liu Feng's command to pick out 5,000 elites to take away, so although he was helpless, he could only secretly swallow the bitter fruit he planted.

After selecting 30,000 sergeants, Liu Feng temporarily incorporated them into the Jiameng Pass garrison led by Huang Zhong, the reason for this, Liu Feng was also a little helpless, just because this Hanzhong land is not like the previous Jingzhou, this steep pass, need to be guarded by elite soldiers day by day, and there is no time for it to practice all day, so Liu Feng can only break it up, and then mix it in the reassigned Yangping Pass defenders, so that they can gradually keep up with the strength of Liu Feng's original sergeants.

Looking at the large number of arrows and city defense things that Liu Feng carried in Jiameng Pass, Zhang Lu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that Cao Pi's wishful thinking could not be beaten.

After all the generals were settled, Liu Feng did not rest, but summoned Ma Chao, Fa Zheng, and Huang Zhong to the front to discuss the next day's battle against Cao Pi.

"General Meng Qi has been guarding this Yangping Pass with Zhang Lu for a long time, can you know what is the combat strength of the troops led by Cao Pi?" What Liu Feng is most concerned about is naturally the strength of the sergeants led by Cao Pi this time, which will also determine how he defuses Cao Pi's attack.

Ma Chao had already led the army out of the city to face Cao Pi head-on the previous time, so Ma Chao naturally knew about the quality of Cao Pi's sergeants, so he replied after a little thought: "In all fairness, Cao Pi did bring a lot of elite soldiers this time, and he also served as Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen, Cao Hong and other brave generals, and according to my guess, there are also many ministers in Cao Pi's array." ”

"In that case...... I think Cao Pi wants to finish his work in a battle tomorrow, take Yangping Pass, and then take the whole territory of Hanzhong, I will wait for his arrival here tomorrow, and give him a big gift! ”

That night, Liu Feng issued several military orders, and after all the sergeants made preparations, they hurried to rest, Ma Chao saw it in his eyes, and his admiration for Liu Feng couldn't help but deepen a little.
