After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, adhering to the consistent style of the forces of Tianma City, everyone began to walk around, talk, laugh, and even fight wine at the banquet.

At this time, Wan Hao has been pulling Huang Zhong to pour wine, it is said that he heard that Huang Zhong is strong in martial arts yesterday, so he insisted on coming to the door to learn, but he was abused to the point that he was completely decent, and today I am afraid that he wants to make up for it in the wine field.

But more people with a heart are taking advantage of this rare opportunity for everyone to gather to inquire about all aspects of information.

After all, the forces of Tianma City are relatively scattered today, Yanmen County alone has county governance and subordinate eleven counties, as well as Tianma City, Jingcheng County, Qianbi Village, etc., many of the people attending the banquet tonight know little about certain areas.

Moreover, most of the people here are usually only responsible for a certain aspect, or squatting in a certain area, or joining late, and they know very little about many things, so they just take this opportunity to have an in-depth understanding, so the atmosphere is more warm.

Some other people, such as Chen Gong, Cai Hui, Zhao Qing, Cheng Xiao and others, got together to talk about the future development focus and development direction of Tianma City's forces. There were quite a few observers gathered next to him.

Ye Teng looked at it and walked over as well.

"This year is to suppress bandits, and next year I am afraid that we will have to fight on the grasslands, and the military will not have time to spare. Thousands of miles of grassland, wouldn't it be a pity not to make good use of it? Cheng Xiao smiled at Cai Hui and said.

Chen Gong nodded, thoughtful: "The ranch of thousands of miles, if we don't occupy the next part in front of others and make good use of it, it's not just a pity problem, in case other alien forces rush ahead of us and build a city on the north side of Yanmen, will we attack or not?" Let's fight, I'm afraid it is a precedent for starting a war with the forces of the Inhumans, and if the war can't end for a while, it will inevitably affect our development; Don't fight, with the development of his territory, small cities, and county seats, for us, it will be like a man's back, not unpleasant! ”

"Yes, the conquest of Yanbei seems to be not only imperative, but also has to be ahead of others, at least the 10,000-mile grassland directly north of Yanmen must be occupied first." Zhao Qing interjected.

"High Theory! Why don't we take this opportunity to talk about the plan to conquer the north? Ye Teng casually found a chair next to him and sat down, and said with a smile.

"No!" Chen Gongdao.

"The public station doesn't have to be too serious, on this occasion, feel free to discuss, it's not that the final conclusion has not been formed, just talk about it at will, and everyone can express their opinions." Ye Teng waved his hand and said casually.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhao Qing was the oldest, so he spoke first: "Some robes only listened to part of it just now, so I will summarize what everyone discussed just now for your reference and the lord's ruling."

First of all, there is a need! My Tianma City forces, the current pasture is small, which is also the reason why we can only sell most of the war horses in the previous epic plot, and Yanbei is thousands of miles, or even tens of thousands of miles, all of them are green grasslands, and it is a pity not to occupy them;

Secondly, capable! In today's Yanbei grassland, the nomads have broken their backbones, and now only the sparse small and medium-sized tribes remain, if we deploy elite soldiers and strong generals, it is not difficult to conquer there;

Again, there are benefits! Now that the world is gradually chaotic, wars will become more and more frequent, and war horses, as a strategic resource, if they can be manipulated by me, will naturally occupy the initiative in future wars;

Finally, there is urgency! If I don't act, next spring, there will be a strange action, and if someone else is allowed to set up a walled city first, we will definitely be passive.

As for how to fight, when to fight, who to send, and how to treat it, it is too late to discuss. ”

"The necessity of attacking the Yanbei grassland, Zhao Shaofu summed it up very thoroughly, I believe you will not have any doubts, there is no need to discuss it!

The question of when to fight is easy to solve, since the time is urgent, and the wind and snow winter is not a good opportunity to send troops, it is set for next year's spring when the flowers are in full bloom!

As for how to fight and how to treat it after the fight, let's wait until we determine the person who will lead the troops. Let's talk about it, who wants to be the chief general of the Northern Army? I explained in advance that Cai Chengye and Huang Hansheng must stay behind and do not need to sign up. Ye Teng guided the discussion.

Next, Xie Gengxin, Zhou Tai, Zhang Liao, Wan Hao, Xu Huang and others who thought they had certain qualifications all signed up to be the commander of the Northern Army.

Everyone knows that as long as you make military achievements, the future is by no means comparable to that of suppressing bandits under the command of Cai Hui.

Looking at the five people in front of him who were eagerly eyed, Ye Teng felt a little embarrassed.

Wan Hao is a fierce general, but he is not a famous general, and he is not suitable for a single party. Although Zhou Tai is a famous historical general, he still focuses on charging into battle, which is not suitable. Xie Gengxin, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang are all suitable, but Xu Huang has the least qualifications, if Xu Huang's generals are ordered, Xie Gengxin and Zhang Liao will definitely not be convinced.

As for the remaining two, Zhang Liao has higher qualifications and a more ambitious future, so he should be trained more intensively. Thinking about it, Ye Teng smiled:

"It seems that there are also troubles about talents, but don't forget, my Tianma City's top priority next year is the great cause of suppressing bandits in Yanmen County.

If the farmers still don't dare to go out of the city to farm next year, the power of Tianma City will definitely go bankrupt, and no one can afford to feed tens of millions of people who have no food.

Therefore, everyone still has to focus on next year's great cause of suppressing bandits, and as for the conquest of Yanmen, only a partial division needs to be dispatched.

I intend that Zhang Liao will no longer serve as the lieutenant of Pingcheng County, and will be transferred to the chief general of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Gong Du as the deputy general, and Guo Jia as the military advisor. Starting tomorrow, we will make every effort to form a corps to conquer the north.

The Northern Expeditionary Army, temporarily using Pingcheng as a temporary station, allocated 2,000 Tuhu troops, 4,000 Han army iron cavalry, and 10,000 third-order soldiers, a total of 16,000 cavalry! After Ye Teng finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Liao, Guo Jia, and Gong Du.

"No!" The three of them led in unison. Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment and continued: "My lord, can 10,000 third-order cavalry be selected in Pingcheng?" ”

"Yes!" Ye Teng naturally agreed to this small request neatly, and then said to Cai Hui: "The Tuhu Army and the Han Army Iron Cavalry have also transferred elite soldiers and strong generals to the past, and at the same time, 30,000 troops will be allocated from the Yin Pavilion to the new Pingcheng County Lieutenant as a supplement!" After all, Pingcheng was originally short of troops, and if 10,000 elite soldiers were transferred, it would definitely affect the next step of the plan to suppress bandits, and if it affected the development of commerce and agriculture, the gains would outweigh the losses. ”

"No!" Cai Hui took the order.

Next, Ye Teng told Zhang Liao, Guo Jia and others that they must form a good legion this winter, be familiar with the troops, train strictly, form a joint force, and sometimes go out of the city to exterminate the horse bandits who have fled from the grassland to the wilderness of Yanmen County.

Since Zhang Liao, Guo Jia, Gong Du and others did not have much experience in leading a large army to fight alone, Guo Jia was even a rookie directly, so Ye Teng specially explained that the three of them should pay attention to logistics. And assert that doing a good job in logistics is half the success!

At the end of the banquet, many generals began to congratulate Zhang Liao, although tonight's banquet was to welcome Guo Jia, but it was Zhang Liao who won the lot, and even Cheng Xiao, Zhao Qing, Xiahou Xiu, etc. congratulated Zhang Qing!

This scene, Ye Teng was a little worried, although Zhang Liao has excellent qualifications and good abilities, but after all, he is still young, will he help the seedlings to grow?

Ye Teng's worried eyes were captured by the keen Guo Jia, he swallowed a glass of wine in one gulp, and replied with a reassuring look, which made Ye Teng feel a lot more at ease.
