Han Pu led the army to stay in Jincheng for more than a month. Until the counties and counties of Hexi escorted the raised grain, grass and ordnance to Jincheng one after another and handed them over to the battalion treasurer, at the same time, Wuxing Taishou Xin Yan, Wuwei Taishou Dou Tao, Jincheng Taishou Zhang Lang, and Yanglie General Song Ji each led their troops to the east to meet Han Pu. The generals came with their armies, and the food, grass and ordnance were ready. Han Pu then ordered the camp to go south.

Since Zhang Lang, the Taishou of Jincheng, had already led the army forward, Jincheng County was guarded by more than 1,000 soldiers led by his subordinate Sima Liaoyong. Five troops totaling more than 30,000 people, marching towards the hinterland of Longxi. The barren fields along the way, and the sight of no one around, also made the generals feel palpitations. First Sima Bao, then Chen An, Yang Nandi, and Liu Yao. This part of Longxi has become so desolate after years of endless wars.

It is barren and unpreserved. The 30,000 army brought the grain and grass that the counties and counties in Hexi had put together, and who knows what kind of results they will be able to get in the future! As the chief general of the first army, Han Pu still muttered in his heart, not to mention the generals who came with him! From top to bottom, this army has fallen into a kind of confusion. No one can say for sure what they came to this land for.

The task given to Han Pu by Zhang Jun was very tricky: he asked Han Pu to march into Longxi, so that he could take Longxi County, Nan'an County or one of them as a basis, and then move the people of Longxi north to Liangzhou. In recent years, although many households have fled to Liangzhou intermittently, they have been sheltered by those large scholars, and secondly, they have been appointed to the counties and counties, and there are always many old and weak women and children. The number of Ding Zhuang, who is a precious labor force, is pitifully small.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Jun couldn't hold back, and took advantage of Liu Zhao's transfer of troops to the west to settle the dispute with Shi Zhao, and moved the idea of hollowing out Longxi.

In the previous Chen An era, Longxi, as a valuable buffer zone between Liangzhou and Liu Zhao, was basically not attacked by Liangzhou itself. However, since Chen Anbing was defeated and died, this land in Longxi has become a fish bone in the hearts of two generations of Liangzhou thorn history.

If a large army is dispatched to occupy the land of Longxi, Liu Zhao will definitely not give up. The war in the 11th year of Jianxing has undoubtedly illustrated this point. However, putting Longxi, a treasure land with weak defense but huge potential and coveted labor force in Liangzhou, undoubtedly made the envoys in the state feel quite unwilling.

After Zhang Jun stabilized the situation in the state, he began to think hard about how to deal with the place of Longxi. However, he didn't wait long, and the fire of war between Liu Zhao and Shi Zhao at the right time undoubtedly pushed him, making him no longer hesitate, but quickly began to deploy the operation against Longxi. And the compromise he thought of from the two was to send the most elite army in Liangzhou to Longxi, occupy one or two important places, and then defend them, and take the opportunity of Liu Zhao's dispatch of troops to move his people to Liang.

If this plan can be successful, it will also be a good idea for Liangzhou, which has received valuable households and labor to participate in the construction of the state. Before Liu Zhao reacted, the elite of Liangzhou could be withdrawn in batches, and then rely on Jincheng and Dahe to resist the enemy. Through his own analysis, Zhang Mao believes that Liu Zhao now needs to face a powerful threat from Shi Zhao on the east side, and it is absolutely impossible to send more than 100,000 troops to attack Liang as he did in the eleventh year of Jianxing. As long as his elite troops withdraw in time, and then defend Dahe and Jincheng, then Liu Zhao can only sigh at the river.

It's just that Zhang Jun thought about it, but ignored one point. That's the general.

"Sun Tzu" has clouds: Therefore, the scriptures are five, the school is calculated, and the feelings are asked: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law.

Maybe now in Liangzhou, the Tao, heaven, earth, and law may all be touched by the five things, but the generals are in a slightly green and yellow state.

Before and after Yongjia, there were first Song with 3,000 cavalry to break the rebellion of Xianbei Ruo Luo Ba Nengbu, and then there were 1,000 elite soldiers of Beigong Chun Liangzhou into Luo Gongwei, and 100,000 miscellaneous Hu of Shile and Wang Mi. In Liangzhou at that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was star-studded.

However, Song Pei died two years ago in Xiping. And Beigong Chun, with the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty and the fall of Liangjing, he also became a prisoner of the Hu people. In order to save the lives of more than 1,000 subordinates who followed him to defend the capital, he surrendered to Liu Zhao, and then in the first year of Hanchang, in the face of the rebellious Jin Zhun, he led his troops to resist desperately in Chang'an City, and finally died of defeat.

That year, the Xiongnu Han and Zhao changed three emperors in one year, and the country name also changed from the previous Han to the current Zhao. And Jin Zhun was in turmoil, and it was not only the Xiongnu Han Kingdom that died with it, but also the immortal war spirit that belonged to Liangzhou.

Although in the eleventh year of Jianxing, Liangzhou encountered another war that almost decided life and death. In this war, many emerging young generals represented by Chen Zhen also appeared. However, what worries Zhang Jun is that as a political leader who relies on the power of the Shi clan to sit in Liangzhou. He can't kick the high gate of the nobles open at this stage, so as to appoint young generals who are talented but will cause dissatisfaction among the nobles.

Moreover, Han Pu, in the impression of Zhang Mao and Zhang Jun, is a veteran and respectful veteran. Maybe he's not aggressive enough. However, Zhang Jun felt that Han Pu's ability to complete the tactical goals he had explained was enough.

It is different from Zhang Yuanjun in the state governance. Li Sima in Lingju County showed an extremely anxious view of Han Pu's expedition. Last time, Han Pu and Yin Jian led the elite of the state to Longxi, and the situation was very good at first. However, after capturing Jicheng and Sangbi, the two were stuck and lost their ground. In the end, it also led to the erosion of the war situation in the eleventh year of Jianxing.

If it weren't for Chen Zhen's mobilization and the attack on the logistics of the Zhao army, plus Zhang Envoy's decision, he immediately decided to make peace with the Zhao envoy. Liangzhou, which had no support this time, did not know whether it could hold the Dahe defense line. And if the river is not protected, Guangwu and Guzang are in danger.

Li Yanzhi stood at the head of the city, watching the auxiliary soldiers escorting the long grain convoy from the treasury to the barracks, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the south again, and sighed faintly. Now, it seems to have returned to the situation of 11 years of Jianxing. The elite troops in Liangzhou are already in Longxi, and the leading general is still Han Pu. And his identity is very different from that year. However, it still does not have the strength to influence the overall situation.

Li Yanzhi, whose sense of crisis is becoming more and more urgent, has begun to take precautions. He went down the tower and marched into the camp. The grain depot in the camp could not hold the grain he had transferred from the treasury. Zhou Xing led the soldiers to build two temporary granaries, so that the grain that was enough for the soldiers and auxiliaries in the battalion to support half a year was stored.

Li Yanzhi walked into the granary and watched the soldiers pile up the grain properly. Then he carefully took the oilcloth and covered it over the mountain of grain.

Seeing that all this was done with his own eyes, Li Yanzhi watched the scribes register all the grain in the warehouse and check that it was correct, before turning around and leaving the grain depot. Watching the scribe lock the grain depot, he then went to the stable to lead his horse, slowly walked out of the camp, got on his horse and walked slowly to the school yard outside the city.

Nowadays, the school field outside the city is more lively than before. Previously, personal opinions were consulted from among the auxiliaries, and 1,000 people were selected to be recruited into the regular army. The transition to a wartime system requires the necessary training of these auxiliaries.

As for the weapons and equipment of these auxiliaries, they were made by the county government workshop. Because of the small number of materials, the simple production and low price of the spear, it became the standard equipment of these auxiliaries. In terms of protection, the armor rate is still less than half, and it is all leather armor. The production capacity of Rao is workshop has been greatly increased now, and it can't meet the sudden large amount of demand, and Li Yanzhi, who has carried out all the arsenals, can only barely piece together more than 300 pairs of leather armor and hurriedly arm these auxiliaries.

These selected auxiliaries are no longer involved in the work of the rest of the auxiliaries. Li Yanzhi transferred a number of county soldiers to serve as grass-roots officers among these auxiliary soldiers, and then promoted some non-commissioned officers to fill the vacancy of grass-roots officers in the headquarters. Considering that after these auxiliaries joined, the proportion of each branch of the county army was slightly unbalanced, Li Yanzhi ordered the county infantry battalion to select 200 people, move the Han crossbows made in the previous workshop from the arsenal, and train these foot soldiers to prepare to become crossbowmen.

The training ground for the crossbowmen was on the south side of the hill on the south side of the newly selected auxiliaries. At the foot of the hill, dozens of scarecrows were placed as targets, and the crossbowmen took turns shooting at these targets on one side. The crossbow of this era was very close to the shooting principle of later firearms, and the crossbow was equipped with a lookout mountain, and the height of the lookout mountain could be adjusted according to the target distance. After personally test-firing this kind of crossbow, Li Yanzhi was amazed, but he had more respect for the labor wisdom of ancient craftsmen.

In addition to the simple leather armor and spears of the auxiliaries, the hundreds of medals and long medals in the arsenal were all distributed. These poorly protected auxiliaries can easily be covered by enemy long-range arrows on the battlefield, causing heavy casualties. Or collapse without a fight. The existence of these shields is very important.

The assassination actions of the auxiliaries on the school field are already in order. Cao Jian gave the command over and over again at the head of the team, and his loud voice floated over the school field, and with the voice of the herald, it was transmitted to every corner of the formation. These auxiliaries, who already had the initial quality of an army, quickly acted according to the orders. Sometimes they form a phalanx, sometimes they form a circle. The licensed soldier always stood at the front of the line, raising his shield to protect the robe behind him. And the soldiers in the array, no matter how the formation changes, the spears in their hands are always pointing out of the formation.

Liu Jiwu walked up to the point of the generals between the changes in the soldiers' formation, and as the command flag in his hand waved, Cao Jian ordered the group of auxiliaries to sit down and rest. Liu Jiwu walked to Li Yanzhi's side and whispered: "Sima, I just received the sentry to report." Han Duhu led the army to Longxi, and Liu Yin, the king of Zhao Nanyang, led the army to hoard in Didao, and the advance advanced to Woganling. Han Governor ordered the army to form a fortress and hold on to the Zhao army...... In addition, Han supervised and escorted his subordinate horsemen, who have escorted more than 1,000 households in Longxi, crossed the river this morning, and will arrive at the county border later......"

Li Yanzhi was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted and asked: "If the households enter the country, I am afraid that the relief will not be enough, so I will immediately report to the Xinming Mansion, count the grain stored in the government, and prepare for relief." Pegasus galloped to the county government, and when the government order arrived, he decided how to settle his people. Send more sentry cavalry, and always pay attention to Woganling. Monitor the roads in case the Zhao army takes a detour to sneak attack. ”

After Li Yanzhi gave the order, he patted Liu Jiwu on the back again: "Later, after you finish arranging, you will come to me immediately." In the current situation, we have to do our best. ”

Looking up at the slightly gloomy sky, Li Yanzhi said to himself as if he was emotional: "The mountain rain is coming, and the sky is about to change." ”

Although Liu Jiwu didn't understand this very well, he still hugged his fists and took the order, then turned around and got on his horse and galloped towards the camp. Since the auxiliary soldiers were recruited for training, the cavalry who occupied the school grounds have come out of the sentry to ride. And the horsemen, who did not have their turn, rested in the camp.

With Liu Jiwu's military order issued, the cavalry in the camp all had their own errands. Except for the two men and horses who were ready to rotate the sentry horses, the rest were sent out to the camp to carry out the mission.

At dusk, more than 1,000 households who had trekked from Longxi had benefited from the work of the soldiers and built shacks in a depression in the south of Lingju County, near the backwater. Due to the limited space, these shacks are built together in households, and from the distant mountaintop, they look dense.

The households who moved to Liangzhou looked panicked and sad. Liu Jiwu stood on the hillside and looked at these travelers from afar. They looked around warily, apparently that the soldiers around them who had just built their shacks did not give them enough security. Their trepidation and vigilance seemed to tell that even under the migration of the Liangzhou army, they still did not receive the treatment that made them feel comfortable and at ease.

Although Liu Jiwu was surprised by this, he did not take it for granted. He knew in his heart that in the process of migration, the soldiers under Han Pu's command would definitely not strictly abide by military discipline. Things like looting and killing people should have been done, which is why these homeless households are so frightened and vigilant about the Liangzhou army.

Liu Jiwu was unable to correct the mistakes caused by Han Pu's subordinates. He could only follow Li Yanzhi's instructions and do his best to give some meager compensation to these displaced people who had gone through countless hardships and countless persecutions to get here. However, the number of these households is somewhat unexpected, and the land that can be reclaimed in the county has been reclaimed, and it is difficult to find vacant land that can accommodate thousands of people to build shacks. Therefore, this depression had to be temporarily designated for these households to shelter.

Liu Jiwu watched the chaotic households settle down one after another on the hillside, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart. Just as he turned around and was about to walk down the hillside, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the camp. In the camp, which had just been basically settled, people suddenly began to flee in all directions.

Liu Jiwu instantly felt his scalp tingle, he looked intently, and saw that in the center of the crowd of escapes, a homeless young man was holding the Liangzhou cavalry in front of him. The horseman was caught off guard, and was stabbed into the chest by a knife in Qing Zhuang's hand, until it reached the handle.

Liu Jiwu was in a hurry and hurriedly rushed towards the place of the incident. The four horsemen beside him did not bother to take care of the horses tied to the bottom of the slope, and galloped with him into the depression......
