Due to disarmament, and there was no war for the time being, the situation was stable, and Gao Shun took the opportunity to form the Western Regions Army and the Mobei Army to prepare for the attack on the barbarians, and therefore made personnel adjustments.

Tiaoyi was stationed from Jincheng County to Ji County, Hanyang County, to facilitate the support of the Quartet; Transferred Pang De from Yuzhou to Jincheng County to station.

Transferred Cao Shan and Sun Cheng back to Yecheng.

The general Huang Zhong was appointed as the pastor of Pingzhou, and Xu Ding and Huang Shu accompanied him.

Transferred Tai Shi Ci as the Zhonglang general and the Anzhou Assassin History, under the jurisdiction of Zhao Xiong.

Ma Gui was appointed as the right general, the commander of the Western Regions Army, and the deputy of Cao Shan, the general of Zhenxi; Sun Ping, the general of Zhenbei, took over Ma Gui's position as the pastor of Jizhou.

Li Qiang was appointed as the rear general and the commander of the Mobei Army.

Originally, Gao Shun was going to serve as the commander of the Mobei Army, but Li Qiang and Ma Gui were opposed, so they served as the two of them, and Sun Cheng and Cao Shan were transferred back.

The Western Regions County has Zhonglang generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Cao Ren, Han Sui and Ma Chao, five people each with 3,000 cavalry, Ma Gui and Cao Shan each with 5,000 cavalry, a total of 25,000 cavalry; There is a shortage of water in the Western Regions, and it is difficult to replenish the logistical baggage, so it is impossible to send more troops; Ma Gui and Cao Shan's space rings can carry large amounts of food and water.

The Mobei Army has four Zhonglang generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Li Su, and Chu Yan, each with 5,000 cavalry, and Li Qiang with 10,000 cavalry, a total of 30,000 people.

When the time comes, Gao Shun will go out of Mobei with Li Qiang, Jia Xu will be the military advisor, and Xi Zhicai will stay behind.

Sun Cheng stayed in Jizhou, and Dian Wei's trapping camp assisted in defending the city, and transferred Zhang Liaohe, Lu Min and Xu Huang to lead troops back to Jizhou to garrison Yecheng.

In order to strengthen Xiang Rong's power, Zhang Meng was transferred to Xiang Rong's jurisdiction; Transferred Zhou Tai to Yangzhou, as the general of the navy.

The officers selected for the two armies were extremely happy, and perhaps this was their last chance to make a meritorious deed, and they were carefully selected for the officers and men under their jurisdiction.

Xi Zhicai also saw Gao Shun's plan and asked, "Lord, do you want to attack on two fronts?" ”

Gao Shun didn't hide it, and said: "Yes, Meng Zhen will attack the Western Regions, and Meng Wen will attack Mobei." ”

Xi Zhicai suggested: "My lord, if you concentrate your forces in Mobei first, and then march into the Western Regions after sweeping away the Xianbei people in Mobei, then the war in the Western Regions will be much simpler." ”

Gao Shun's plan was to strike at the Xianbei people in two steps, the first step was to attack the Xianbei people outside Yinshan, expel them to Mobei, cut off the Xianbei people from the Western Regions, and isolate the Murong tribe, Yuwen tribe and Duan tribe on the periphery of Pingzhou, etc., according to memory, these tribes were the tribes that Gao Shun feared the most.

Xi Zhicai suggested: "My lord, if the Western Regions Army strikes first, and then attacks Mobei after integrating the Western Regions countries, then it can encircle Mobei Xianbei."

Gao Shun objected: "This move is inappropriate, if the Western Regions Army strikes first, it will be easy to be cut off by the Xianbei people, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army; If it is a two-line attack, the Xianbei people can't take care of it. ”

"When the lord attacks Mobei, Yuwen and other tribes flank the rear flank of the lord, and a similar situation will occur."

Gao Shun said with a smile: "If this is the case, Han Sheng can send troops to directly occupy their lair, which is why I have not reduced the Pingzhou garrison." ”

"Haha, the lord is too cautious, Murong and the others are far away in the alpine land, and it is good that the strength can protect themselves."

Gao Shun doesn't think so, the barbarian's ability to survive is very strong, even in the area north of Lake Baikal, let alone the northeast, which is already a very rare good pasture, and there are mountains to block it, the northeast is not as cold as Baikal, which makes Gao Shun have to be cautious.

Gao Shun wanted to personally take Ma Gui to Mobei, so he said: "It's okay, when the time comes, I will lead 20,000 troops to fight Mobei with Meng Wen, and 50,000 troops are enough to sweep away the Xianbei people in Mobei." ”

At this time, not only Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu and others saw Gao Shun's motives, but those big clans also saw the opportunity, attacking the alien race is different from the civil war, it is a battle that will leave a name in history, and now Gao Shun's soldiers are strong and strong, and only a small number of officers and soldiers can defeat the barbarians, this is the best opportunity to achieve military exploits, otherwise it will be difficult to have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in a short period of time.

After several years of adjustment, a group of the older generation of Taishou has retired, and the position of Taishou has been monopolized by the senior civil officials of the system.

For example, the Guo family, which was very popular before, after the three old people retired, the juniors did not grow up, and there was a fault, which made them very anxious, so Guo Dian, who was still alive, went to Yecheng in person to fight for opportunities for the juniors.

Gongsun Du, who left his post due to illness, could not go to Yecheng, so he wrote a letter to Gao Shun to fight for his son's opportunity.

The family had Cao Ren selected for the Western Regions Army, and Cao Cao was very satisfied, but Madame Ding tried her best to let Cao Cao come forward and begged Gao Shun to allow Cao Ang to go on the expedition.

Cao Cao objected: "Staying in Yecheng is the value that Duke Wei values him, and it is more important than going on an expedition. ”

Mrs. Ding did not allow it, and Cao Cao had to write a letter to beg Gao Shun.

Cao Ang is the eldest son, his biological mother died early, and was raised by Mrs. Ding, and now Cao Ang is hostage in Yecheng for the family, she feels guilty and feels wronged Cao Ang, so Mrs. Ding tries her best to fight for Cao Ang's opportunity.

Lu Zhi also recommended a number of disciples to Gao Shun.

Although Zhuge Xuan did not retreat, the position of the juniors was not high, and the two nephews were only county orders, and this time he also wrote to Gao Shun and recommended his nephew to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun did not get tired of it, so he had to make Zhuge Xuan's nephew Zhuge Liang, Guo Dian's nephew Guo Huai, and Fu Hu, the son of Fu Zhu, all join the army for Li Qiang; Zhonglang led Gongsun Kang and Yan Rou with 5,000 cavalry each, under the command of Li Qiang.

Cao Ang was the commander of Wu Meng, and he brought 2,000 cavalry under the command of Ma Gui; and ordered Cao Ren to protect Cao Ang; This move was also to satisfy Cao Cao's desire to be a general in the west when he was young.

After Gao Shun considered it, in order to save trouble, he decided to follow his sons Gao Rui and Gao Xiang, Chu Yan's son Chu Fang, Dian Wei's son Dian Man, Guan Yu's son Guan Ping, and the sons of Fang Liang, Zhou Fei, Zhao Xiong and others, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Han Dang and others.

Later, the scope was expanded, as long as the eldest son of the person who held the position above the assassin Shi, Taishou or Zhonglang general, and was over 15 years old and under 20 years old, he could join the Mobei Youth Army according to his personal wishes.

Guan Yu and other military generals were very happy, they thought that if their juniors were valued by Gao Shun or the prince this time, they would definitely get the opportunity to soar in the future.

Gao Shun's move was also an opportunity for his son to establish a good relationship with the juniors of the military generals of Wenchen and prepare for the succession in the future; It is also to appease those who do not have the opportunity to go on the expedition, such as Xue Yin, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Wu Anguo and others.

Xi Zhicai laughed and said that Gao Shun was not going to fight, but to go on an outing.

Gao Shun is not worried about their safety, and now his system has 2,000 officers and soldiers in the camp, nearly 10,000 senior cavalry, 40,000 junior cavalry, and tens of thousands of senior infantry and primary infantry, and there are sufficient points, there is no lack of logistics baggage, even if he encounters hundreds of thousands of Xianbei cavalry, he is not afraid, and will even annihilate them all.

Seeing that Gao Shun attaches so much importance to the expedition, those families who have never been out of office are also actively looking for opportunities, looking for a way, dragging relationships, recommending the descendants of the family to Gao Shun, and seizing this last opportunity.

Kong Rong, Cai Yong and other Confucians recognized by Gao Shun, military advisors, state pastors, assassins, etc. from all over the country have become the objects of the big family's active solicitation, and through their recommendation, the probability of success will be much higher, and it will be easier to gain Gao Shun's trust.

Kong Rong recommended Sima Lang and Sima Yi; Lu Su recommended Zhou Yu; Liu Ye recommended Lu Xun, and as for the other recommenders, none of them attracted Gao Shun's attention.

Gao Shun had no good impression of the Sima family, and only made Sima Lang and Sima Yi county officials, and it was more reassuring to put them in the open than to let them be in the dark.

Gao Shun attached great importance to Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, appointed Zhou Yu as the military advisor of Zhou Tai, the lieutenant general of the Yangzhou Water Army, and ordered Lu Xun to serve as Lu Su's army; Although they did not get the opportunity to follow the expedition, Gao Shun arranged it so that they were very satisfied, which was much better than the position they obtained because of their military exploits after following the expedition.
