Chapter XXIX

Annexed the armies of Shuofang County and Wuyuan County, and joined the army that came later, a total of 120,000 troops marched towards Yunzhong City, where the Yunzhong County Administration was located. Zhang Lang had already prepared for the worst, if Yunzhong County was too protective of Feng Zhong and resisted stubbornly, he would forcibly attack the city, and he must pull out this last nail in one go.

When the army was still more than ten miles away from the county town of Yunzhong, the scout galloped to report, "The commander of Yunzhong County, Feng Zhong and General Gao Shun, are waiting for the general outside the city!" ”

Zhang Lang pondered for a moment, and divided the army into two parts, with himself personally commanding 60,000 horses to walk in front, and Zang Ba and others leading another 60,000 horses to follow a few miles away. Zhang Lang arranged this arrangement in order to deal with possible unexpected situations.

Half an hour later, the army drove to the outside of Yunzhong City, and saw tens of thousands of horses and horses from Yunzhong County waiting in a neat line outside the city, waving flags, the scene was very spectacular, but neither soldiers nor generals carried weapons. Gao Shun's thousands of men and horses were at the front, but they were all fully armed.

When Zhang Lang saw this scene, he was immediately relieved.

Gao Shun and Feng Zhong got off their horses and bowed: "The last general (subordinate) greets the general!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Get up." ”

"General Xie." The two stood up. Feng Zhong hugged his fists extremely respectfully and said: "The subordinates have prepared drinks and food for the general to wash the dust!" ”

Zhang Lang glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Let's go!" He drove his horse toward the city, and the army followed.

The lobby of the government office.

Feng Zhong led his subordinates to raise a glass to congratulate Zhang Lang on his victory. Zhang Lang drank a full cup with them. Putting down the wine glass, Zhang Lang looked at Feng Zhong and said with a smile: "Yuan Shao's army is pressing the realm this time, and the shape is very critical for a while, and the strictest of them is that Wuyuan County, Shuofang County and other Taishou secretly colluded with Yuan Shao!" He paused deliberately, "Lord Taishou, didn't Yuan Shao look for you?" As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became tense.

Feng Zhong hurriedly avoided the table and kowtowed to the hall: "Ten thousand deaths to my subordinates!" Yuan Shao did send a secret envoy to find his subordinates, trying to persuade his subordinates to attack the general together with Wuyuan County and Shuofang County! Gao Shun, who was sitting on the side, changed his face greatly, he had been preparing grain and grass for Zhang Lang in Cloud City, but he had never found anything abnormal.

Zhang Lang took out the letter he had obtained earlier, "This is a handwritten letter written by Yuan Shao to the Taishou of Xiangjun and the Taishou of Yanmen County, and you are mentioned many times!" ……”

Feng Zhongzhong was frightened, not knowing what to do. Gao Shun Zang Ba and the others stared at Feng Zhong with unkind eyes.

Zhang Lang burned the candle that had put the letter aside. Everyone present was amazed. Zhang Lang glanced at Feng Zhong, who was still kneeling on the ground, "I won't believe these words that sow discord!" ”

Feng Zhong was grateful, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The subordinates are determined to report to the general!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Get up." ”

"General Xie." He stood up and sat back in his place.

Zhang Lang raised his wine glass and said, "This glass of wine is for the soldiers who died on the battlefield!" Everyone raised their glasses, and an indescribable feeling rose in their hearts. Zhang Lang raised his head and drank the glass of wine, and everyone drank it all.

After the banquet, Zhang Lang threw everything to his subordinates and went back to sleep by himself. These days, he has hardly rested, and the treacherous situation has made him tense at all times, and he does not dare to slack off at all!

In the days that followed, Zhang Lang managed the five counties while reorganizing the army. The internal affairs were basically handed over to Feng Zhong, Feng Zhong handled it properly, and Zhang Lang basically didn't have to worry too much; Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Shuofang County, Dingxiang County, Yanmen County, originally each had 30,000 troops, a total of 150,000, Zhang Lang will go to the 150,000 army to get 90,000 strong men, plus Zhang Lang's original troops, the total strength of the 120,000 people, these 120,000 horses are all elite and brave people, in the 120,000 troops, including 70,000 infantry troops, 50,000 horse troops, because the five northern counties and the grassland are connected, there are a lot of good horses, Therefore, the ratio of cavalry to infantry in Zhang Lang's army was much higher than that of other princes!

Zhang Lang began to train the army using modern methods. Zhang Liao and the others were amazed by Zhang Lang's training methods.

In addition to training methods, Zhang Lang also introduced his unique insights in other aspects, such as the structure and equipment of the troops. At the request of Zhang Lang, there were heavy armored soldiers in the real sense in the infantry army and cavalry, and before that, the Han army had no heavy armored soldiers in real sense whether it was infantry or cavalry.

According to Zhang Lang's requirements, the blacksmiths created special heavy armor for the infantry and cavalry, which almost covered the body, and even the face was covered by a face armor, and the armor of this life looked extremely majestic and powerful when worn on the body. Zhang Lang handed over the 5,000 heavy armored infantry to Gao Shun and named it the trap camp, while the 5,000 heavy armored iron cavalry was commanded by himself and was named the Ta camp.

Zhang Lang actually wants to equip more heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, but this seems to be impossible, first of all, the cost of building heavy armor, this 10,000 heavy armor army almost consumes most of the reserves of the five counties, and the soldiers who can wear dozens of pounds of heavy armor to fight are also very limited, Zhang Lang can barely select 10,000 people in the 120,000 army.

Eyes turned to Chang'an.

"Eun Xiang, Wen Hou has won a big victory! Not only defeated Yuan Shao, but also completely controlled the five northern counties, and the number of soldiers under his command expanded to 120,000, and all of them were brave and strong! In addition, I also heard that Wen Hou spent a lot of effort to train a trapping camp and a stepping camp, and it is said that the combat power is extremely strong! Li Ru said worriedly.

Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "My son Fengxian disobeys my entrustment!" ”

Li Ru hurriedly reminded: "Enxiang, I'm worried that Feng Xian has a heart of disobedience!" ”

Dong Zhuo frowned, "Where do you say that?" ”

Li Ru frowned and said, "Feng Xian let the army be loyal to him alone!" In Fengxian's army, I only know that there is Fengxian but I don't know that there is a prime minister! ”

Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru: "Do you think Feng Xian should be opposed?" ”

Li Ru hurriedly said: "That's not it!" I'm just a little worried! Feng Xian may not have any objections now, but there is no guarantee that he will not have such thoughts in the future! Grace, we should take precautions! ”

Dong Zhuoshen nodded approvingly, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Enxiang, we can recall Fengxian back to Chang'an, and call it Gongwei Chang'an to defend the imperial court and Enxiang, in fact, to separate it from the army. On the other hand, give him the gold, silver, pearls and jade of the beautiful women in the mansion, so that he can enjoy the pleasures of the world, so as to consume his ambition. Over time, the armies of the north will surely become disillusioned with him and abandon him, and he himself will no longer have any great ambitions! In this way, Enxiang will be worry-free! ”

Dong Zhuo laughed, "This strategy is very good! You immediately send my order to Fengxian and let him return to Chang'an. "No!"
