Lang, the scorching sun hung high, there was not even a trace of wind, the scorching sun did not touch the earth, the ground seemed to be shrouded in a steamer, and the heat made people breathless. The weeds were yellowish in the green, as if they had been scorched, the dandelions were wilting and bowing their heads, and the leaves were curled up in the sun, only to know that they were tirelessly chirping, adding a layer of irritability to the sultry weather.

After more than a year of repair, the main roads in Jizhou have been changed to Sanhe soil pavement, which is much smoother, and there are no deep ruts anymore, and the wagons full of heavy supplies have only left shallow marks, which are long and stretch into the distance. With the sound of hurried horses' hooves, the wide gallop trembled gently, raising a cloud of flying dust that rolled in like an earth dragon. In an instant, the sound of horses' hooves was loud and roaring, like thunder.

"Who? It's ...... to have to go on this hot day."

Wang Ping was sleeping in Zhengxiang, but he was woken up by the sound of horses' hooves from afar, his eyes were sour, and he felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't help muttering. Ma Song couldn't care much about it, and when he went up, he kicked him in the ass:

"Less?! Get to work! Wang Ping and Sun Shan prepared clean water and went to the well to get more cold water; Liu He and Wang Gao prepared forage, prepared more, well, according to the preparation of three hundred servings; Song Yu prepared the firewood guy......"

Ma Song ordered one after another to go down and turn around the envoys of his small pawns. Ma Song is also a veteran, and the year before last he made meritorious contributions in the battle to exterminate the Black Mountain bandits. However, in that battle, Ma Song was also slightly injured. He was transferred to the river to recuperate. After recovering from his injury, just in time for the military service of the Hejian State and the formation of a new army, Ma Song was left behind, promoted to a chief, and led a new soldier to guard the pavilion next to the gallop.

It's hot today, and Ma Song thought it was noon. No one will be in a hurry, so they will go to a nap with these boys. Suddenly, so many people came, and they couldn't help but be a little busy.

With Zhang Han's efforts, Qingji and other places are planted all over the mountains, and the cost of raising cattle and horses has been greatly reduced. In addition, after the unification of the Northland. A large number of cattle and horses were purchased through the border market. Therefore, in the land of Hebei, horses are not uncommon. However, if you can carry hundreds of good horses in a group, then you are an important general in the army.

At this time, Ma Song had no intention of talking to his subordinates. Ma Song commanded as he walked outside the pavilion......

The sound of the horse's hooves sounded far away, and in a blink of an eye it was approaching, and as soon as Ma Song went out, a group of cavalry rushed in. After approaching, the cavalry neatly slowed down. Exactly ten steps away. An earth dragon also followed, swooping its head and covering its face and rolling Ma Song in it.

Ma Song held his breath. Squinting his eyes, he stood motionless, and waited for the dust to subside, then he gave a military salute with a sad face, and said loudly:

"Ma Song, the chief of the one hundred and two pavilions in the river, has seen the general!"

"Take a break!"

A clear shout, the cavalry turned over and dismounted, and flashed out of the road like waves. A man in his thirties walked briskly forward. Look at the dress, it is a general.

Zhang Huan's forehead was slightly sweaty. A thin layer of dust on his face resembles a mask, with only a pair of bright eyes exposed. That vision didn't see how sharp it was, Ma Song saw it, but he didn't feel that he raised his head with his chest up, and solemnly clasped his fists and saluted. However, Ma Song's busy face was sweaty, and he was wrapped in dirt, which looked quite funny.

"Take a break!"

Zhang Huan repeated the order, he held the ring knife on his waist with his left hand, and clenched his fist in front of his chest with his right hand, and returned the salute. This is a military salute designed by Zhang Han, when the subordinates want to salute the superiors, the superiors need to return the salute. This military salute can be performed with only one hand, and it can be done at all times.

……

Zhang Huan's personal guards quickly took over the vigilance of Weiting, the feeding of the horses, and the vigilance of the vigilance, each performing its own duties. The cavalry's war horse is the cavalry's leg, and after serving the war horse, the rest of the people gather around the well to enjoy the rare coolness.

"It's damn weather, it's only been hot like this in May......"

After freshening up, sitting under the tree, drinking the cool well water, I suddenly felt a cool inside and outside my body, and I was indescribably comfortable. I don't know which guard was complaining, and floated over, Zhang Huan ignored it, but secretly agreed with him. The weather was a bit strange, as it used to be so hot in June and July. I hope that this year will not be too drought, but I think it should not be a big problem, because water conservancy is a part of the land that has been highly valued, and all localities are trying to save themselves......

Scattered thoughts flickered, Zhang Huan didn't think about the drought in detail, he was transferred back to Xindu this time, and he didn't know where to go next, how could he care about this. Of course, Zhang Huan also has a little speculation about where he will go in the future.

Youzhou must be, Zhang Han ordered him to build a barracks in key areas. It can be seen from this that Zhang Han does not want to go north again in the short term. Also, from a strategic point of view, the wild land outside the fortress will not affect the final victory, Zhang Han is going to defend the north and attack the south. To the south, there are only Zhouzhou and Xuzhou - it must be Yanzhou. The state is located in the Central Plains, extending in all directions, the location is very important, and it has been a place of a hundred battles since ancient times.

As the saying goes, whoever wins the Central Plains wins the world.

The next target is definitely Yanzhou.

Zhang Heng, the general of Lu Guo, was in the east, Wang Wenxiang, the general of Dongjun, was in the middle, and Sun Chengliang, the general of the partial army, and Zhang Ying, the general of Hanoi, were in the west. In terms of geographical advantages, the direction of attack should be in the eastern part of Yanzhou, and both Lu and Jibei are land, which is easier than crossing the big river to fight. Most of the training exercises of ethnography were placed in the mountains, and the Qingzhou Army, which took this as the backbone, had more experience in mountain warfare. However, it is well known that the east is easy to attack, and Liu has put a lot of effort into the defense of the east. On the contrary, the south ships and the north horses. Zhang Han carefully organized the great river water army, and he had never encountered an opponent on the big river in the north, occupying an absolute advantage. It is not impossible to cross the river and attack it unprepared......

"General!"

A voice woke Zhang Huan up from his contemplation and started eating.

……

In May of the fourth year of Chuping (193), Zhang was recalled from Youzhou; Liu Wenbiao, the general of the court, succeeded him and commanded the entire army in Youzhou.

Like other places, Youzhou was exempt from taxes for the year. The resistance of the Youzhou Army was relatively stubborn, and the reorganization was much simpler, and there was no need to consider the placement of senior officers. Only on the basis of the actual situation, a very small number of officers with special talents were retained. The captives were pardoned, and the old and weak were eliminated to form a military cantonment; Junior officers and non-commissioned officers are scattered and assigned to various departments for new officer training, and their ranks are determined according to the results of the training. At the beginning of this year, Youzhou began its first conscription and formed a new army. Today, Youzhou has initially settled down, and it is enough to retain 50,000 troops, plus a new army. Starting in June, Zhang Han will withdraw his troops from Youzhou.

PS: Khan! Today, there is a lack of three and one, and I was arrested to fulfill my filial piety. So, that's all for today, sorry! Tomorrow my mother will be gone, and then I will have to wait for the Chinese New Year to come back, and the day after tomorrow I will start to pay off the debt, and I owe a total of five and a half chapters.
