Everyone was taken aback when they heard Chen Gong's proposal. Dong Ying said incomprehensibly: "Cao Cao is our great enemy, how can we unite with them?" Chen Gong looked at Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang pondered: "This is not necessarily! Cao Cao is more like a hero than Liu Bei, Sun Jian and the like! In his heart, the well-being of the entire Huaxia clan is only afraid to be higher than a qiē! He will not finally have imperial power, because imperial power cannot save the people of his family and country, so imperial power is only a tool in his hands that can be used; He could use his father's death to achieve his goals, because there was something more important in his heart than his father. Everyone in the world says Cao Cao is a traitor, but I say he is a hero! In this world, there are not too many people like Cao Cao, but too few! ”

Dong Ying and the others looked at Zhang Lang blankly, not understanding his words too much. Chen Gong looked at Zhang Lang excitedly, hugged his fists and said, "The lord's evaluation is really appropriate!" However, in the whereabouts of his subordinates, the lord is a hero who is better than Cao Cao! Although Cao Cao has extraordinary ambitions, he is too vicious! The lord is not, not only has extraordinary ambitions, but also attaches great importance to love and righteousness! ”

Zhang Lang smiled and thought: "The construction of the public platform is shocking, and it is difficult to realize!" For many years in the past few years, there has hardly been anyone who has been able to unite to fight against foreign enemies! ”

Chen Gong frowned and nodded, "That's true." Chao Zhang Lang hugged his fist, "Lord, although things are difficult, as long as you do it, there is still a possibility of success!" ”

Zhang Lang nodded, and instructed Dong Ying: "Yingying, immediately write three letters in accordance with the establishment of the public platform, and send someone to send them to Wenhe, Kong Ming, and Xiaozhi, and ask them to write their ideas and opinions into letters and send them to Luoyang, I want to read them." Dong Ying clenched her fists and promised, and ran down the beacon tower.

Zhang Lang said to Chen Gong: "Whether you can unite with Cao Cao or not, it is necessary to give up the Five Plains in the clouds, you start doing this immediately!" "No."

Zhang Lang turned his head to look at the inside of the Great Wall, and saw that the scenery of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains was picturesque, with handsome green mountains at the high place and endless grasslands and grain fields at the bottom place. Zhang Lang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "There are so many rivers and mountains, and countless heroes have bent their waists!" The people around me felt the same way, and they couldn't help but feel excited.

Zhang Lang smiled and said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai has governed the state very well, I think it is almost the level before the Yellow Turban Rebellion!" Chen Gong looked at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the distance and couldn't help but say: "This is far from enough, my subordinates want to turn Bingzhou into a rich area like Guanzhong!" Zhang Lang smiled: "This day will not be far away!" Chen Gong nodded heavily.

Zhang Lang pondered: "I think the ranks of the people's army in Bingzhou should be doubled, what does the public think of it?" ”

Chen Gong smiled and hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates are just trying to mention such a building." After a pause, he frowned and said: "Bingzhou is bound to become a battlefield full of flames, and my subordinates think that the military household system should be fully realized in the territory of Bingzhou, and all the young and middle-aged people who are said to be available should be incorporated into the civilian army sequence in case of emergency." ”

Zhang Lang nodded thoughtfully, "It's better to move the people in the Wuyuan Cloud to the territory of Bingzhou and settle them, and integrate them all into the military households!" Chen Gong nodded thoughtfully. Zhang Lang smiled: "As before, I don't have a penny for you, you have to find a way to get money to do this well for me!" Chen Gong hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, lord!" The subordinates will not be dishonored! ”

A general dressed in armor ran to the beacon tower and knelt down to Zhang Lang; "General Qiqi, the Dingxiang County People's Army has been ordered to come here, please review it!"

Zhang Lang glanced at the general and asked, "What's your name?" What was born? ”

"The villain Duan Hao, who was originally an officer of the Tiger Wing Legion, was ordered by the general half a year ago, and our thousand soldiers and horses broke away from the Tiger Wing Legion to serve as officers of all levels of the state people's army, and the villain was originally a general, and was appointed as the commander of the Dingxiang People's Army."

Zhang Lang nodded, "How many people are there in your Dingxiang People's Army?" ”

"Returning to the general, there are 25,000 people in the Dingxiang People's Army, including 5,000 horse troops and 20,000 infantry troops."

"Are you preparing your own weapons, armor, war horses, etc.?"

"Back to the general, the armor is issued by the Assassin Mansion, and the weapons and war horses are prepared by yourself."

"Is there enough equipment?"

"Returning to the general, everything else is enough, but the armor is really in short supply, there are 25,000 people in the Dingxiang People's Army under my command, and only 3,000 can be equipped with light leather armor, and there is no iron armor." Zhang Lang showed a thoughtful look. Duan Hao said that he knows that the people's army has been lacking armor since its inception, first, because armor and other materials must be given priority to ensure the use of the main army, and second, the production of armor is time-consuming, laborious, and valuable, Zhang Lang has not issued much money to the people's army at all, so the equipment of the people's army cannot be very good! Like the Dingxiang People's Army, it is still good among all the people's army, like the people's army in Guanzhong Xiliang, only officers can have it in leather armor, weapons cannot be done one person, and there is a shortage of war horses!

The People's Army, after all, is only a supplement and reserve force of the main army, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to use the People's Army as a pillar.

Zhang Lang came down from the beacon tower surrounded by everyone. Dong Ying came over to report: "Big brother, the letters have been sent. Zhang Lang nodded and said with a smile: "Come with me to see our Dingxiang people's army!" Dong Ying nodded.

A group of men mounted their horses and rode to a small hill. Hold the horse, look around, only to see the hillside, nearly 10,000 cavalry are neatly arrayed, 5,000 cavalry on the left, 5,000 infantry on the right, 10,000 horses only 3,000 people are wearing leather armor, the others are wearing green cloth shirts wrapped in green turbans, although these people's armor is not uniform, but the morale is high, the banner is hunting in the wind.

Duan Hao rode his horse to the front of the army and shouted: "Dingxiang People's Army, don't meet the general yet!" ”

10,000 soldiers bowed down in unison, and the black pressure was overwhelming, "Meet the general!" Meet the General! ”

Zhang Lang raised his right hand.

10,000 soldiers of the People's Army stood up. Duan Hao was the first to shout: "Long live the general!" 10,000 soldiers raised their weapons together and shouted: "Long live!" Banzai! ”

Zhang Langliu smiled with satisfaction. These militias are not comparable to any regular brigade, but they are always available forces. In fact, it is already very good that the civilian army can have such a appearance, and we cannot expect such a civilian army that lacks equipment and training to compete with the regular army! That's unrealistic! The People's Army is just a supplementary force!

Before nightfall, Zhang Lang and his entourage returned to Dingxiang County to govern the city of Shanwu. As soon as he sat down in the hotel, the guards came to report that Ma Teng, the general of the Eagle Yang Legion, had come to pay a visit. Ma Teng, the commander of the Eagle Yang Legion, the Eagle Yang Legion was still stationed in Bingzhou, when Zhang Lang and his party came to Dingxiang, Ma Teng was still in Huguan, and they came immediately after receiving the news, but they were still a little late.
