When Zhang Yuan came, Zu Li, Li Dingguo, Xie Jin, Zhao Pu and others were already waiting in the conference hall, stepping to the first place. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The subordinates greeted the lord", on the left, Yang Zhi, Zu Ti, Li Dingguo, and on the right, Xie Jin, Zhao Pu and others bowed down together.

Zhang Yuan made a gesture of support with both hands, his face was full of relief, there are so many capable people under his command gathered together, why worry about Taihang Zhang Yan, "You don't have to be polite, please get up quickly",

"Thank you"

"Okay, everyone is here, then I'll talk about today's purpose", looking around, Zhang Yuan cleared his throat without too much nonsense.

"Zu Ti, how is the cavalry trained, can you fight", Zhang Yuan took the lead in asking what he was most concerned about.

Zu Ti stood up and hugged his fists and said confidently, "My lord, everything is going well, just wait for the lord's order."

"Okay, Captain Zu Du has made a great contribution, and this battle depends on you and the cavalry under your command", Zhang Yuan was relieved, with the cavalry, he could hold the initiative in his hands, and not be passive defense from beginning to end.

"I will live up to the high expectations of the lord", Zu Ti said loudly, the secret road can finally show his ambitions, and the cavalry is the world of my Zu Ti.

Zhang Yuan turned his head and asked, this is related to the development and growth of the cavalry in the future, "Yang Zhi, how is the matter of horse purchase related?"

"Gai Tong hasn't heard from him yet, but he just sent a message to say that another batch has been raised, this time about three or four thousand horses," Yang Zhi said with his fists cupped.

"You reassure him that even if you get the horses, the more the better, and money is not a problem," Zhang said.

"No" Yang Zhidao.

"Li Dingguo, how is the recruitment and training of recruits going?" asked Zhang Yuan to Li Dingguo, who was sitting at the end of the general.

"So far, 3,500 soldiers have been recruited, 2,000 can go to the battlefield, and the remaining 1,500 still need to be trained shortly after being recruited," Li Dingguo reported. Except for the time when Li Dingguo led the troops alone, he stayed in his eldest son to train soldiers the rest of the time, which was a bit condescending, but there has been no chance to release it at present.

"Well, that's good," Zhang Yuan nodded and said affirmatively.

"Master Jia, how to prepare the grain and grass on the front line, weapons and armor, bows, crossbows and arrows", the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the logistics support is very important.

"It's ready," Zhao Pu said.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and now Zhang Yan is about to go south, it is time for us to test the results of your efforts these days," Zhang Yuan said.

"Where is Zu Li", Zhang Yuan said loudly.

"Yes," Zu Ti said loudly, clenching his fists.

"With you leading the cavalry to Huguan, let Yang Zhi prepare for battle," Zhang Yuan said.

"No"

"Where is Li Dingguo?"

"In"

"Allow you to command two thousand combatable soldiers and set off with us," Zhang Yuan said.

"No"

"Where is Zhao Pu?"

"In"

"You are in charge of all the grain and grass dispatches during the war," Zhang Yuan said

"The remaining 1,500 people have your commander responsible for the safety of the eldest son, and at the same time ensure the absolute safety of the grain road", think about Zhao Pu still has a certain ability to command troops, and in history it is even more brilliant in Bingzhou, Xie Jin is a proper Wenchen, and it is very constrained, it is better to hand it over to Zhao Pu directly, with these 1,500 people in hand, Zhao Pu can adapt to the situation and solve some basic emergencies.

"No"

"Where is Xie Jin?"

"In"

"After I leave, You'er will sit in charge of the eldest son and make overall arrangements,"

"No"

"Okay, everyone should perform their duties, fulfill their responsibilities, be respectful of their duties, and be ready to stop." Zhang Yuan said loudly.

The clouds of war hung over the eldest son in an instant, and the pedestrians on the street also felt this oppressive atmosphere, hurriedly returned to their homes, locked their doors and windows, and the vendors who set up their stalls hurriedly packed up their stalls, carried their burdens, and pushed their carts to their homes. The neat soldiers, holding spears under the command of Captain Li Dingguo, slowly passed through the long street, and the sound of the friction of armor played a passionate marching song.

Farewell to Xie Jin, Zhao Pu and others, surrounded by Yang Zhi, Zhou Cang, and Li Dingguo, as the large army gradually moved away, and finally the majestic and majestic eldest son city gate disappeared in the eyes of everyone.

Huguan Chamber

After a day and a half of marching, Zhang Yuan and others rushed to Huguan, everyone greeted each other, and after greetings, Zhang Yuan went straight to the topic.

Knowing that he was invincible, he understood himself clearly, and Zhang Yuan asked, "Yang Duwei, how is the progress of Huguan."

"After so many days of running-in training, the soldiers have taken off their gangsterism and are full of fighting spirit", Yang Zhi said proudly, the lord handed over such a big burden to himself is a trust in himself, Yang Zhi used all his heart to complete the integration as quickly as possible.

"How many soldiers are there now?" , Zhang Yuan continued to ask.

"There are 11,000 men, all soldiers who can fight."

"Together with the soldiers and horses brought by the eldest son, we have a total of fourteen thousand soldiers who can be used for battle, including thirteen thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry, and the enemy we face will be several times our men and horses, do you have the confidence to fight this counterattack?

"Yes," the generals said in unison.

"It's good to have confidence, and we also have to fight a sure battle, so let's hear what you have to say," Zhang Yuan asked.

"Lord, now that the party is under the rule of the lord, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they look prosperous, we can't destroy everything that is good, I think the battlefield should be selected in the area of Zhan County, and there is a Zhangshui barrier, so that I can not only ensure that the party is not damaged by the Montenegrin bandits, but also narrow the scope of the battlefield and narrow the gap between the forces and the Montenegrin bandits." Li Dingguo took the lead in standing up and said that since Zhang Yuan said that he would prepare to defend against the counterattack of the Black Mountain thieves, Li Dingguo had time to study how to win.

"I think it is more appropriate to choose the battlefield here in Que and Ju, which is at the junction of Zhihe and Zhangshui, which can not only reduce the difference in strength, but also effectively weaken Zhang Yan's elite Black Mountain cavalry." Zu Ti said.

Que and Ju are located at the junction of Zhihe and Zhangshui, at the source of Zhihe, with a large number of quagmire and swamps in the murmuring water, which can block the footsteps of Zhang Yan Feiyan and prevent them from unscrupulously attacking the flanks and rears of the Shangdang and the grain road, so as to ensure that the Shangdang army can fight Zhang Yan head-on with peace of mind.

"Que and Ju, this place is indeed a good place for us to block the Black Mountain thieves, but the battlefield is placed here, then it means that we will give up Zhan County." Yang Zhi said.

A Zhanghe River separates Zhan County from the hinterland of Shangdang, retreating to Que and Ju, and Zhan County is the fat in the mouth of Taihang thieves.

"How can you give up such a unique geographical advantage for the sake of a small county," Zu Ti said dissatisfiedly.

"What is a small Zhan County, how can tens of thousands of people there say throw it, you don't know, the virtue of the Black Mountain thieves, burning, killing and looting are all evil, this time it is with a revenge mentality, if Zhan County falls into their hands, will Zhan County still exist? Yang Zhidao couldn't bear it, and the unarmed people were wantonly ruined by the Black Mountain thieves.

"Zhang Yan's elite Black Mountain cavalry is not vegetarian, and only here can Zhang Yan's Black Mountain cavalry be restricted to the greatest extent," Zu Ti said.

"Fang Zheng, I don't agree to give up Zhan County so easily, for the sake of tens of thousands of people, we went deep into Taihang Mountain, angered Zhang Yan, and now we have to give up tens of thousands of people for Zhang Yan's revenge, then what we did before was not to take off our pants and fart", Yang Zhi said angrily.

"It's only tens of thousands of people, as long as we win this war, are we afraid that there will be no one, it's a big deal that we will go into the mountains again," Zu Ti said.

'It's just tens of thousands of people, Zu Duwei said it well, that's tens of thousands of fresh lives", Yang Zhi was very dissatisfied with Zu Ti's thinking and practice of treating human life as a mustard,

"Yang Duwei, as a military general, how can you have such a woman's kind idea, it is foolish," Zu Ti said-for-tat.

"Okay, let's be quiet, there's no point in arguing, everyone brainstorms, why not listen to other people's ideas? , as the lord, Zhang Yuan came out in time and said.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Zu Ti. Yang Zhi and the two looked at each other and knelt down quietly.

"Dingguo, you proposed it first, tell me your opinion," Zhang Yuan asked, since Li Dingguo could think of fighting in Zhan County, he would definitely think of various other issues.

"Now everyone's eyes will be focused here, if we abandon the county, it will definitely leave a brutal and unkind impression to the world, leave a stain on the lord, and it is easy to be criticized by the world, so the county must not be lost, even if we pay a big price", Li Dingguo said.

Zhanxian must not give up easily, even if it is not good, this is Zhang Yuan's first battle, it is the moment to show off his muscles, and it is also a label battle.

"Li Duwei, why are you also this kind of woman's opinion", Zu Ti said dissatisfiedly.

"I'm just talking about things", Li Dingguo said lightly, I don't want to get entangled in this matter, if in other cases, Li Dingguo did not hesitate to give up the county in exchange for the biggest bargaining chips, now, as the first battle of the lord, so many people in the party watched, if you give up like this, how to block the mouth of the world.
