When Zhang Quan came, Luo Tong, Li Dingguo, Xie Jin, Jia Kui 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, Shi Jin, Luo Tong, Li Dingguo, on the right Xie Jin, Jia Kui and others bowed down together.

Zhang Quan 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 Quan cleared his throat, without too much nonsense.

"Luo Tong, how is the cavalry trained, can you fight?" Zhang Quan took the lead in asking what he was most concerned about.

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

"Okay, Captain Luo Duwei has made a lot of contributions, and this battle depends on you and the cavalry under your command", Zhang Quan 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", Luo Tong said loudly, the dark road can finally show his ambitions, and the cavalry is my Luo Tong's world.

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

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

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

"No" Shi Jindao.

"Li Dingguo, how is the recruitment and training of recruits progressing," Zhang Quan asked 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 Quan 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," Jia Kui 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 Quan said.

"Where is Luo Tong", Zhang Quan said loudly.

"Yes," Luo Tong said loudly with his fists clenched.

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

"No"

"Where is Li Dingguo?"

"In"

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

"No"

"Where is Jia Kui?"

"In"

"You are responsible for all the grain and grass dispatch during the war," Zhang Quan said

"The remaining 1,500 people have you to take charge of the safety of the eldest son, and at the same time ensure the absolute safety of the grain road", think about Jia Kui still has a certain ability to command the army, and in history it is even more brilliant in Bingzhou, Xie Jin is a proper Wenchen, and it is very restrictive to hand it over to him, it is better to hand it over to Jia Kui directly, with these 1,500 people in hand, Jia Kui 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 Quan 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, Jia Kui and others, surrounded by Shi Jin, 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 Quan and others rushed to Huguan, everyone greeted each other, and after greeting each other, Zhang Quan went straight to the topic.

Knowing that he was invincible, he understood himself clearly, Zhang Quan 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 Quan 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 battle with certainty, so let's hear what you have to say," Zhang Quan 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 Quan said that he would be ready to defend against the counterattack of the Black Mountain thieves, Li Dingguo was already studying 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." Luo Tong 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," Luo Tong 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 Montenegrin cavalry is not vegetarian, and only here can Zhang Yan's Montenegrin cavalry be restricted to the greatest extent," Luo Tong 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, and it's a big deal that we will go into the mountains again," Luo Tong said.

'It's just tens of thousands of people, what Luo Duwei said is good, that's tens of thousands of fresh lives", Yang Zhi was very dissatisfied with Luo Tong'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's stupid," Luo Tong 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 Quan came out in time and said.

Hearing Zhang Quan's words, Luo Tong. Yang Zhi and the two looked at each other and knelt down quietly.

"Dingguo, what you proposed first, tell me your opinion," Zhang Quan 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 Quan's first battle, it is the moment to show his muscles, and it is also a label battle.

"Li Duwei, why are you also this kind of woman's opinion", Luo Tong 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.
