~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the end of October, the wind was cold and the sky was cloudy and snowy. At this time, Tian Yu returned to White Wolf City with three thousand stone military rations and five hundred stone grain and grass in the first season. In addition to more than 300 servants, there were 1,200 newly recruited soldiers.

These soldiers were all recruited from Liaodong, and most of them were young men who fled from the Yellow Turban Disaster and the warlords' most severe warlord chaos in Qing, Yan, Hebei, and Henan. Liaodong County is not small in area and has many county seats, but with the sudden influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees, how can there be any livelihood to speak of? The best way out for young people is to become a soldier. If so many young people poured into the territory of the princes of the Central Plains, they were afraid that their mouths would be crooked, and they would all be pulled to become soldiers. But Gongsun Du is different, his ambition is only in the Liaodong region - it's not that he is so ambitious, but Gongsun Chan blocked his way south, unless he defeats Gongsun Chan, don't want to get involved in the Central Plains.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan was still a fierce tiger that made the princes of the world look sideways, although he was defeated by Yuan Shao, but the tiger could not fall down, not to mention that he was only injured. Gongsun Du asked himself if he was not the opponent of Baima Gongsun, this place in Liaodong, except for the occasional Xianbei and Karasuma harassment, has always been very peaceful, and there are no natural opponents, so it is impossible for him to raise so many soldiers. In these years, military spending is the number one headache for any state or county.

Of course, Gongsun Du has a large number of troops on hand, which does not mean that he will let Ma Han recruit troops without restrictions, his purpose is to recruit a guard dog, not a vicious wolf. The difference between a wolf and a dog is only a chain, and he can't let go of it.

The upper limit of Gongsun Du's quota for the soldiers of White Wolf City is 2,000 people, and the White Wolf City originally had 800 cavalry infantry, plus 1,200 recruits, which is exactly 2,000.

The recruitment plan that Ma Han asked Tian Yu to bring was 2,000 people, but he only got 1,200, barely more than half. Although it is a little regrettable, seeing that these recruits are all strong and healthy, with standard weapons and equipment of the county soldiers: spears, wooden shields, bows and arrows, waist knives, and some thin armor and horses, it is interesting to think about Gongsun Du. Of course, if Ma Han wants to recruit more soldiers, it is not impossible, but first, he can't go to Liaodong to recruit, and second, Gongsun Du is only in charge of the expenses of 2,000 people. And there is also a tacit problem, even if the White Wolf Battalion is a guest army, there are some hidden rules that should not be broken too quickly - the sensitive issue of the number of garrisons is one of them.

Therefore, in the current situation of immature conditions, two thousand garrisons is the upper limit of the White Wolf battalion.

When Tian Yu recruited, he had tested the abilities of the recruits, and selected six hundred recruits who knew a little about cavalry and archery, and classified them as cavalry, and the other half were infantry. In this way, the White Wolf battalion will have 1,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, for a total of 2,000 men and horses.

The White Wolf Battalion had already built enough tents and earthen huts for 3,000 soldiers to live in, and as soon as the recruits arrived, they were immediately led and settled by battalion officers at all levels. Three days later, Ma Han held a military and political meeting in the main hall of the city guard mansion, in addition to the officials at all levels of White Wolf City, the elders of the Han Ge Department, Tai Shici also attended as a guest secretary.

The main hall of the city guard mansion is not big, and the structure is also simple, just a rectangular hall, which is divided into four columns to kneel and sit on both sides of the military and government, and can accommodate about twenty or thirty people, which is enough.

Ma Han officially presided over the meeting as the cavalry captain of Liaodong County and the guard of the White Wolf City. On the left are the officers of the White Wolf Battalion, such as Tang Nu, Wu Chai, Han Xi, etc.; On the right is the White Wolf City official headed by Tian Yu, and the elders of the Hange Department, such as Muji, Yu De, Tao Liang, Meng Yuan, Ma Jun and others are all present.

The horse stands in the center, and behind him hangs a sketchy map of silk the size of a bed. This map is a combination of Ma Han's original maps of Youbei and Hebei states obtained from Yuan Shao and his own hand-drawn maps, as well as various maps drawn by Tian Yu who accompanied him to Liaodong on his way. There are two distinct red circles on the map, one is White Wolf City and the other is Xiangping City. At this moment, Ma Han held a long whip in his hand and explained the current situation to the military and political leaders of White Wolf City for the first time.

“…… In the past month, the tent under the root of Yanmen Budu has been in the north of Danhan Mountain, and there have been repeated clashes with the tent of Kebineng, causing thousands of deaths and injuries. However, judging from the current situation of the two sides, there will be a battle in the summer and autumn of next year. And at that time, the Xianbei Jiji of Liaodong, Xianbei Suli and Mijia of Liaoxi will not be willing to be lonely. The three Xianbei competed, and this civil strife had to be fought. At present, Kebi can be riddled with injuries and difficult to see, and he can't take care of us at all, so the evil wolf in our north is no longer able to stretch out its claws, and the threat from the north will not be eliminated. ”

Tang Nu, Wu Chai, Han Xi and the others glanced at each other, and their faces couldn't stop being happy. And Mu Ji, Yu De, Tao Liang, Meng Yuan and others let out a long sigh of relief, with a happy face.

Ma Han's faint gaze swept over everyone's faces, coughed lightly, and the long whip in his hand slammed towards a certain part of the map, and the wooden boards supporting the map made a crackling sound: "Gentlemen, don't be happy too early, the northern wolf doesn't bite, it doesn't mean that the western dog doesn't show its teeth, here - Pinggang!" is our real threat. ”

"U-Yan-" Two words came out of Tang Nu's teeth.

Ma Han's face was grim, and the whip drew a circle in Hiraoka's position: "That's right, it's this Wuyan who stabbed us in the back." You see, from Pinggang to the southeast, down the White Wolf Valley, less than 300 miles, is the White Wolf City. In other words, if Wuyan wants to be unfavorable to us, he can attack quickly, and he can kill the White Wolf City in two days and nights at the earliest. ”

Donnu almost jumped up: "What? Wuyan still dares to come to this crumb! ”

The old man Mu Ji on the opposite side glared at him, Tang Nu was still in awe of this master, and he also realized that he was out of shape, so he quickly knelt down and sat down.

Ma Han said lightly: "I'm not sure if Wuyan will dare to come this year, but I can conclude that he will definitely come next year." I have received news that he has sworn before the tribe that he will cut off the head of his son's murderer with his own hands, so he will come. ”

Folding arrows and swearing, this is the heavy oath of the Hu people, and they must be fulfilled. The hearts of the people were heavy.

Ma Han's eyes were cold, and he slowly looked around, and spit out word by word: "So, I don't wait for him to come with a knife, but kill the door first!" ”

Tian Yu's eyes lit up: "Preemptive, good!" Good spirit. ”

Ma Han said with a smile: "Without the 1,200 soldiers brought back by the country, I don't dare to play this preemptive strategy." ”

Donnu slapped his thigh: "Yes! Strike first, fuck it! ”

Ma Han pointed to a certain place on the map: "At the same time as doing Wuyan, we must take this city - Wencheng." This is the old nest of the right Marquis Neng Chen of the Wuyan Tribe, and now it is his uncle Neng Chen who is in charge of the subordinates. This is Uyan's eyes, ears and backhand, once Uyan attacks White Wolf City, or my White Wolf Battalion attacks Pinggang, Nengchenwu will pounce from behind, contain us, and even severely damage us. This thorn must be pulled out.

Old Man Mu Ji couldn't help but say, "Wouldn't it be too ...... to divide troops to attack at the same time?" Too hasty? ”

Ma Han said categorically: "We must attack at the same time, otherwise it is easy to leak the news, and ......" Ma Han smiled playfully, "We are not alone, this land in western Liaoxi, there is no shortage of helpers." ”

Helper? Everyone looked at each other, only Ma Han and Tian Yu looked calm.

Tai Shici, who had not been angry, suddenly said: "If you want to do it, you have to do your best, look at this sky, within ten days, there will be heavy snow." ”

Ma Han nodded heavily, and the long whip struck the case, making a crackling sound: "Now I order!" ”

Everyone stood up.

"Tomorrow I will take three hundred white wolf horsemen to assault Pinggang. Leaving 500 foot soldiers to defend the city, 100 cavalry divided into two teams in the north and south, respectively entered the Guangcheng Black Mountain in the south and the Mashou Mountain Road in the north, and monitored the direction of Liucheng and Youbeiping. The remaining 100 white wolf cavalry and 1,000 cavalry infantry were handed over to Tian Chang to lead and capture Wencheng. ”

Tao Liang said uneasily: "The city guard only led three hundred horsemen, is it a little less?" Moreover, there are a lot of Karasuma people in Wencheng, and it is said that there are nearly a thousand people who control the strings. ”

Ma Han waved his hand indifferently: "The soldiers are more expensive than the fine, and besides, as I just said, we have helpers." If it weren't for the fear of insufficient troops, I would have done it a long time ago if I couldn't hold Wencheng. This battle, I have been preparing for this battle since the first day I entered White Wolf City, I dare not say that I am completely sure, I am still seven or eight points sure, please don't worry. ”

Since Ma Han said so, with his prestige, naturally no one objected.

Ma Han looked around, his eyes were sharp, and his voice was more chilling than the cold wind outside: "I will use this battle to make the Xianbei people and Karasuma people understand one thing - I have been bitten in autumn, and I will not save my revenge until winter!" ”
