Qiao Zhiyong stayed in the Yin Pavilion to study the "joint-stock company", and Liu Mang was busy with other things.

The system continued to grind, and Liu Mang didn't care about it for the time being. entrusted the affairs of the Yin Pavilion to the eldest grandson Wuji and Yang Yanzhao, and Liu Mang took Liu Bowen's high favor and rushed to Mayi.

There are more soldiers and horses, and the territory under his jurisdiction is also larger. The team of nearly 6,000 was scattered in Yinguan, Mayi, Pingcheng and several places. How to effectively manage and train, Liu Mang needs to discuss with Su Dingfang.

In addition to this, there is one more thing.

How to prepare for entering Taiyuan County, Liu Mang also wanted to hear Su Dingfang's opinion.

The group walked about three miles away from Ma Yi and ran into Hu Luguang, who was leading the team to patrol outside.

The two sides met, and while they were talking, they suddenly heard a few high-pitched chirps from the sky.

From the introduction of the system, Liu Mang learned that Hu Luguang had the name of "Governor of Luodiao". The first time he met Hu Lvguang, the feather arrow shot by Liu Mang was shot down by Hu Lvguang's arrow, which shows that the name of "Falling Eagle Governor" is worthy of its name.

Archery is the only martial art that Liu Mang can master, and he has seen Hu Luguang archery, which is very different from the way he practiced.

It's rare to have leisure, just ask for advice, and the flying eagles in the sky are just in time.

"General Mingyue's archery skills are exquisite, can you give me some advice?"

The young master Liu Mang spoke, Hu Luguang knew that Liu Mang was practicing archery, and he was not hypocritical, he opened his bow and arrows, raised his hand to shoot, and the arrow fell down.

"It's amazing!"

Liu Mang praised it, and finally understood.

Hu Luguang is a high-chariot man, and the bow used is shorter than the longbow commonly used by the Han people, but the bow body is harder, and when the feather arrow is shot, the sound of breaking the sky is more intimidating, and the speed and strength of the feather arrow are also more sufficient.

Liu Mang was both envious and disappointed.

There is no end to the arts!

Hu Luguang comforted: "What the young master has learned is the way of arrows in the Central Plains, and he pays more attention to skills and has his own strengths. ”

Hu Luguang explained his experience in archery, and Liu Mang had a lot of feelings.

It happened that another flock of birds flew in, and Liu Mang was ready to try it according to Hu Luguang's instructions.

Bow and arrow......

Everyone held their breath, ready to appreciate the young master's archery skills, but Liu Mang suddenly withdrew his bow and arrows and looked up at the birds in a daze.

Flying in the sky is not an ordinary bird, but a pigeon!

Since crossing into this era, Liu Mang has seen pigeons for the first time.

The pigeons circled three times and faded away, leaving only a long whistle......

Pigeon whistle? This flock of pigeons is raised?!

Liu Mang's heart moved, and immediately instructed Hu Luguang to send someone to inquire who raised this group of pigeons.

Liu Mang suddenly became interested in a group of birds, and everyone didn't know why. It is no wonder that in this era, pigeons have not yet been raised, and people do not even know the names of these birds.

……

When Liu Mang entered the house, Su Dingfang was drafting documents, the content of which was exactly what Liu Mang was concerned about, and matters related to the garrisons in various parts of Yanmen.

Su Dingfang's opinion was that Yinguan, Mayi, Huren and other places are located in the south of Yanmen, and the conditions are relatively good, and the garrisons in these places only need to maintain daily drills.

And Pingcheng and Baideng, located in the extreme north of Yanmen, are real outposts of border fortresses. Not only is it the most dangerous, but the living conditions are far worse than those in the Yin Pavilion and other places, and the soldiers stationed there are even harder.

Su Dingfang suggested that the soldiers stationed in Pingcheng Baideng should be rotated regularly to avoid excessive fatigue of the soldiers on the border and to maintain the stability of the border passes.

Liu Mang ordered Cao Peng to accompany him, and according to Su Dingfang's opinion, he drew up specific methods for the rotation of soldiers on the border areas.

And Liu Mang is more concerned about the problem of Taiyuan County.

Taiyuan County is the center of the state and the focus of attention of various forces.

Wang Rou, the keeper of Taiyuan County, is nearly seventy years old, has been in office for many years, and is a well-known benevolent elder.

Wang Rou and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu are somewhat similar, caring for the people, but lacking control over the army. His virtuous name is even greater than Liu Yu, and his cowardice is even worse than Liu Yu.

It is precisely because Wang Rou is quite virtuous and famous, that all forces are worried about being infamous, and no one dares to take Jinyang for a long time.

However, although Lu Bu, Zhang Yang and others did not dare to forcibly occupy Wang Rou's Jinyang, they secretly made a big move.

In the southern part of Taiyuan County, the eight counties headed by the most important Daling and Qi counties, although nominally under the control of Wang Rou, were actually controlled by Lü Bu and Zhang Yang respectively, and the county orders of these counties were basically not controlled by Wang Rou.

"Eight counties in the south, what's so special?"

Liu Bowen is the chief planner of the layout and merger of the state, and he knows the situation of the merger of the state best, and he gave a detailed explanation.

Wang Rou was cowardly, and although he was named Taiyuan County Shou, he actually controlled only the northern part of Taiyuan.

Taiyuan County, a total of 15 counties.

What Wang Rou actually controlled was Jinyang, the Taiyuan Governance Office, as well as Yangyi, Yuci, Langmeng, Yuxian, Yangqu and Xianyu (虒, now Wutai; 虒, sound private).

In the south, the eight counties, mainly Qi County and Daling, tend to be Lü Bu and Zhang Yang, respectively.

Although Jinyang is the seat of Taiyuan County, in terms of geographical location, there are three county towns that are far more important than Jinyang. They are Yu County, Daling County and Qi County.

"Yuxian? I know. "Yu County, located in Jingcheng Road. Liu Mang came from Jizhou to the west and passed by. "Yu County is located in the key place of Jingcheng, why are Daling and Qi County important?"

"There are nine servals in the world, and there is one more than one!"

Serval (音叟), the Great Lake Daze. There are nine large lakes in the world, and Zhao Yuze is one of them, which is comparable to Chu Zhiyunmeng (Dongting Lake) and Wu Zhigu District (Taihu Lake). And Zhao Yu Ze is also known as Zhao Yu Qi, Qi County got its name from this.

Eight southern counties, including Daling in Qi County, are all located along the coast of Zhaoyuze. Because of the existence of Daze, this area has become the richest place in Taiyuan County and even the entire state.

Not only that, Qi County and Daling are also located on the main traffic roads.

Between Taiyuan County and Shangdang County, there is Taiyue Mountain to block, and the road must pass through Qi County.

Between Taiyuan County and Xihe County, there is Luliang Mountain, and Daling is the passage between the two counties.

"Zhang Yang and Lu Bu, how many troops are stationed here?" Liu Mang already had the idea of using troops to seize the two counties.

"The Great Tomb of Qi County, located in Taiyuan County, is the hinterland of Bingzhou, there are few wars, and Shangdang and Xihe are not stationed in the two places. However, the two places are very close to Shangdang and Xihe, and once our department is stationed in Taiyuan, Shangdang Xihe will be the first to move and seize the two places. ”

After some analysis, the idea is generally clear.

In order to lay out Taiyuan, we must first control the three important places of Yuxian, Qixian and Daling.

However, Zhang Yang and Lu Bu, and even Yuan Shao of Jizhou, must have eyes and ears in Yanmen, and Yanmen mobilized troops on a large scale and couldn't hide from their sight.

The distance between others is close, and the distance between oneself is far. If you are not careful, once Yuan Shao and other soldiers and horses enter Taiyuan, it will inevitably lead to conflicts.

In war, Liu Mang is not afraid.

However, facing the enemy on three sides is not the way to use troops. Moreover, Liu Mang did not want to bring unwarranted disasters to the people of Taiyuan County, the base camp in the future.

Carefully deliberate and carefully planned.

As soon as the discussion was over, someone came to report, and the young master ordered to find it, and the owner of the flock of birds found it......
