In this era, transportation is inconvenient, communication and communication are even more inconvenient, and it often takes three months or even half a year to learn the news when there is something at home for a wanderer, and Ji Ping comes from later generations, and he is well aware of the importance of information, especially in the military, and the urgency of information often determines the success or failure of the war.

So Ji Ping deliberately found the Shadow Ranger who was proficient in taming the eagle to learn the skills of taming the eagle, and spent half a month teaching the Golden Eagle Tianya to send a message, he came out this time, and let the end of the world go back to Hedong every three or five days, and send the message back and forth, at the speed of the end of the world, it is only a day to go back and forth for thousands of miles.

In this way, it was much more convenient, no matter where he was, Hedong's letters could be delivered quickly, and there would be no delay in urgent military information or other important matters.

When I opened the scroll of paper, it was the news from Lu Zhi, and after reading it carefully, the smile on Ji Ping's face disappeared, and he sighed suddenly, his face slightly gloomy.

The letter wrote about the battle between Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and the alien coalition army, which was indeed a rare victory for the alien race in decades, and gave a basin of cold water to the alien race who despised the Han and became more and more presumptuous.

Defeating 30,000 Hu soldiers, if this achievement falls on Emperor Ling, I am afraid it will already be a song of merit, and the soldiers will also be proud of the foreign race.

But what saddened him was that he killed more than 10,000 enemies and lost 8,000 of his own troops, and the casualties of his soldiers and horses exceeded 3,000, which was an unprecedented casualty.

It is impossible to fight without dying, but he took the route of elite soldiers, and the officers and men in the army were all warriors from a thousand, and the loss of 3,000 in a war was enough to make his heart ache to the extreme.

Although he had not personally experienced the battle, Ji Pingtong Guò could imagine the brutality of the battle, and he was once again aware of the strength of the alien army. Its combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to that of those Kwantung princes. You must know that Shi A's Shadow Division has already infiltrated Taiyuan County, so when the alien alliance army went south. They got the message and got the head start. Be prepared to fight for the enemy, otherwise the casualties in this battle may be even greater.

In addition to the soldiers who died in battle, the alien coalition army went south to plunder, and the people in Yanmen, Taiyuan, and Hexi counties died under the iron hooves are also innumerable.

Therefore, as soon as Ji Ping learned that Zhang Liao had the advantage, he asked Tianya to send an order, ordering Zhang Liao and Xu Huang to lead the army to the north to seize Hexi County and Taiyuan County.

It is now believed that Zhang Liao has occupied several counties in the southern part of Taiyuan County. After all, the county and the state, Jinyang.

In this letter, Lu Zhi also asked Ji Ping about his next plan.

After a while, Ji Ping sighed, touched Tianya, and let Tianya go to rest, while he took Zhen Dao to the study.

There was already a maid in the study who picked up the lamp, and Zhen Dao neatly took a pen and paper for Ji Ping, and began to study the ink again. During this time, she has been following Ji Ping and is very familiar with Ji Ping's habits.

Ji Ping looked at Zhen Dao, who was grinding seriously with his head down, and a hint of softness flashed in his eyes. This little girl, in addition to being beautiful and a little shy, has a serious energy that he likes very much.

After Zhen Dao finished studying the ink, Ji Ping picked up the pen and replied to Lu Zhi.

First thing. It is to let Zhang Liao and Lu Zhi work together to do a good job of compensating the fallen soldiers and settling their families.

The second thing. It was a military operation, and Xu Huang was ordered to continue to assist Xun Yu in the party. To guard against the Montenegrin army, he ordered Zhang Liao to continue to march north with 20,000 foot cavalry, capture Taiyuan County, and transferred Eagle Harrier Captain Sun Meng and Jianyi Captain Zhang Yang from Hanoi County to the north to assist Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang were originally generals of the state, and the resistance to entering Taiyuan County was naturally much smaller, and Shisun Meng was originally in Guanzhong with Huangfu Song to conquer the Qiang people, and he was also quite familiar with fighting with foreign races.

The third thing is the personnel transfer accompanied by the expansion of the territory, the personnel of Hedong County remains unchanged, Lu Zhi is the Taishou of Hedong, and Zhonglang will Guan Yu still guard Hedong County.

For the newly occupied Hexi County, administratively, Ji Ping transferred the former Hexi Taishou and Siyan Zhonglang General Cui Jun to Hexi County to continue to serve as the Hexi Taishou, Hexi County was chaotic, and Ji Ping was not at ease when he was replaced by someone else, and Cui Jun had already been a county guard here, so he was naturally familiar with handling affairs.

In the military of Hexi County, Ji Ping transferred the commander Gai Shun and the loyal captain Yang Feng to lead the men and horses of the department to guard Hexi County.

As for the general of Si Yan Zhonglang who was vacant after Cui Jun was transferred, Ji Ping promoted Emperor Fu Li of Hedong County to serve as him. Huangfu Li is one of the earliest talents to take refuge in him, Ji Ping trusts him very much, and always lets him silently participate in the most core affairs, first let him manage Shao Ting, then manage Anyi Palace, and then serve as Hedong County Cheng, and deal with government affairs is also honed by the old way, so that he can take care of Yanchi affairs is naturally not a problem.

The military and politics expanded with the expansion of territory, and the most important agriculture was no exception.

Ji Pingba, who originally assisted Yuan Ji, was the lieutenant of the Diannong School, Wu Qiong, as the general of the Diannong Zhonglang, and was responsible for the affairs of the Tuntian of Hedong County on behalf of Yuan Ji, and Zhou Yu, the captain of the Diandian Agricultural School, was the general of the Diannong Zhonglang, responsible for the affairs of the Tuntian of Hexi County.

For Yuan Ji, the general of the original Nongzhonglang, he was appointed as the Taiyuan Taishou and followed Zhang Liao's army north into Taiyuan.

Taiyuan County, as the seat of the state, is also an important strategic gateway to the north of the Han Dynasty, where although the alien race is raging, but there is also a lot of family power, and most of these family forces are compromised with the foreign race or secretly colluded, and Yuan Ji is the eldest son of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, with his reputation as the Taiyuan County Guard, and Zhang Liao is a literary and martial arts, should be able to subdue the family there.

After writing the order, Ji Ping fed the golden eagle Tianya and let it fly back to Hedong County.

Before Ji Ping could breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Zihui hurried to Zhen's mansion with a solemn face, bringing bad news: Jihou Gongsun Zan led 10,000 foot horses, from the right Beiping to the south, has arrived in Zhuo County, the name of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the soldiers pointed directly at Jizhou.

When Ji Ping heard the news, his face changed slightly.

In recent years, Gongsun Zhan has been in Youzhou in the north, quelling the rebellion of Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and Wuhuan Qiu Liju in Liaoxi, and defeated Wuhuan and Xianbei many times, and has trained a hundred battles of elite soldiers, and there are white horses and righteous followers, invincible, and now it is the strongest actual strength among the princes.

Gongsun Zan went south, whether it was to crusade against Dong Zhuo or to capture Jizhou, Zhongshan County was the first to bear the brunt.

Fortunately, Wuji County, where Ji Ping is now located, is in the southernmost part of Zhongshan County, connecting Changshan Country to the west and Julu County to the south, and it is at least two days away from Zhuo County in the north of Zhuo County.

Zhen Dao knew that Ji Ping was about to discuss matters, so he hurriedly retreated, and Ji Ping immediately invited Geng Zhong, Dian Wei, Li Ru, Fu Zhu, and Zhang He to come to discuss.

Comparable to Ji Ping's speculation, Li Ru and Fu Zhu agreed that Gongsun Zhan's move was intended in the land of Jizhou, and as for the crusade against Dong Zhuo, it was just a cover, otherwise Gongsun Chan should have responded when the Kwantung princes raised troops.

"Lord, I am only here to borrow food, the guards are only eight hundred, Gongsun Chan has always been brave and good at fighting, there are tens of thousands of elite cavalry, the soldiers are sharp, it is advisable to quickly inform Han Jizhou, so that he can lead the troops to the north to resist, and the lord must quickly withdraw to Shangdang County, in order to be safe." As for how to deal with Gongsun Zhan, Li Ru and Jian Yiyi of Fu Zhu were the same, because the difference in strength was too large, and they didn't think about resistance at all.

The two strategists both considered the safety of Ji Ping, the lord, and their strategies were relatively conservative, and Ji Ping could naturally understand.

However, he came to Zhongshan Zhen to borrow grain, and when he encountered danger, he retreated alone, and he couldn't do such a thing. What's more, even if it is a retreat, it is not safe, because Gongsun Chan and the Montenegrin army are quickly friendly, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not encounter the Montenegrin army on the way south.

After groaning, Ji Ping decided to stay in this Zhen Mansion, the Zhen Mansion is very large, and it is close to foreign races, the gate and courtyard walls are wide and tall, and there is also a rough defense system, which is equivalent to a fort, and they should not have a problem staying in the Zhen Mansion.

What's more, according to his judgment, Gongsun Chan is a person from Zhuo County, and it is connected to Zhongshan County, which is equivalent to half of his hometown, and if he wants to seize Jizhou, he will not kill in Zhongshan County, let alone offend the family, and in history, the Zhen family has gone through Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and has never fallen, which illustrates this point.

"Lord, don't hesitate, it is advisable to retreat to Shangdang County as soon as possible, and watch from the wall, wait for Han Fu and Gongsun Zhan to compete with the clam and the lord, and the lord can take the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman." Li Ru looked at Ji Ping and groaned, and hurriedly advised again.

Hearing Li Ru say this, his face changed slightly, he was born in Jizhou, but it was difficult to sit back and watch Jizhou face great difficulties.

Ji Ping shook his hand and said slowly: "I will wait and respond to all changes with the same, Gongsun Chan does not know my identity, his purpose is only in Han Fu, and he will not attack the Jizhou family for no reason, I will stay in this Zhen Mansion, like a drop of water hidden in the sea, I can be safe." ”

Li Ru said: "I'm afraid that under the crisis of Han Fu, I will report the identity of the lord." ”

Ji Ping said with a smile: "Gongsun Chan is still nominally a courtier of the Han Dynasty, and my identity is useless in the Han Wenjie report, although he is cowardly, he is not confused." ”

Frustrated and said: "The lord retreats to the party, and grants a wish to go to Yecheng to persuade Han Jizhou to send troops quickly, and also prevent changes in Han Jizhou." ”

Ji Ping nodded and said: "Gongsun Zhan's soldiers are sharp, I am afraid that the Korean Festival will retreat, and it is good for Gongsun to go to Yecheng, and there will be a captain with three hundred men and horses to escort him." ”

"My lord." When he heard that Ji Ping was going to send the most powerful guard Dian Wei to escort him, regardless of his own safety, he was extremely grateful, but he strongly objected: "The captain of the school wants to protect the lord, how can he ignore the lord's public security because of his body!" ”

Dian Wei on the side was about to object, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't say anything more.

Ji Ping looked at Dian Wei and Fu Zhu, and said in a deep voice: "This is an order, I will stay in Zhen Mansion, if Gongsun Chan comes to attack, it is useless for the captain and three hundred guards to be there, if Gongsun Chan does not come to attack, the captain naturally does not have to stay here to guard, Gonghe has a bumpy road, and there must be no accidents." ”

He fell to the ground in frustration, but was silent.

Ji Ping helped him up, but he saw that he was already in tears. (To be continued......)
