In fact, the arrival of Queen Zhurong's reinforcements means that Dong Huang has to launch the Northern Expedition, otherwise, just so many people eat horses and chew horses, it is enough to hollow out Dong Huang's family funds, especially Jingzhou and Jiangdong, which have a weak foundation, not to mention the reserves of logistics grain and grass to undertake Dong Huang's second Northern Expedition, even this Northern Expedition is not enough!

Of course, it's too late.

Even in the current situation, Dong Huang has already prepared to grab grain all the way to the Northern Expedition.

As for the backing of the people's hearts, Dong Huang doesn't need to think about it at all.

After Pingnanman, Jingzhou and Jiangdong, Dong Huang's troops increased sharply again, and the total number of troops exceeded the planned million army by too much, so in extraordinary times, extraordinary methods had to be used.

At present, Dong Huang's troop layout is divided into three major theaters.

Among them, there are about 500,000 troops in the Yizhou and Liangzhou theaters, and at least half of these people have experience in major battles.

This part was personally commanded by Jia Xu, and there were many generals such as Huang Zhong, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Hua Xiong, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Yan Xing, Pang De, etc., and they were strong in strength, and in wartime, they were able to recruit Qianghu to support.

The only thing to worry about along the way is that Liangzhou is barren and the pressure on military rations is high.

The Jingzhou Legion has about 250,000 people, of which 100,000 are Jingzhou soldiers, and some of them need to maintain local law and order or act as auxiliaries, and the real core elite has 150,000, including Dong Huang's strongest infantry legion.

The commander-in-chief of this legion is Gao Shun, the military division is Xi Zhicai and the newly dug Xu Shu, and the commanders are Jiang Qin, Gan Ning, Huo Du, Huo Jun, Cai Brothers, Wen Ping, Huang Zu, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Xu Ding and other generals, Jia Xu also sent Tai Shici as a cavalry general to lead Ma Dai and others to support; In addition, there are reinforcements from Wuxi along the way.

The biggest weakness of this road is that the Jingzhou soldiers are overwhelmed; At the same time, it is also facing pressure from the three directions of Nanyang, Xuchang and Runan.

As for Dong Huang's side, he is naturally the most powerful. The pioneers include Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Wu Yi, Wu Tugu, Han Hao, Chen Wu, Ling Cao and others, while Dong Huang is surrounded by Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhou Tai, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Zhu Ling, Hao Zhao, Guo Huai, Jia Kui, Chen Dao, Fu Wei, Wu Yi, Wang Ping, most of the Jiangdong Huchen, most of the Nanban generals, etc., the number is as high as 800,000.

It's the first time I've personally commanded so many armies, so excited!

So, how do you march......

Dong Huang was a muggle all of a sudden.

If you can't command, you can't command.

This is not a game, the mouse will automatically march to fight and attack the city with a million troops, Dong Huang is not a soldier immortal, nor is he from a family of generals who received military knowledge since he was a child, and even compared to Zhao Kuo, who became the laughing stock of later generations, it is far inferior.

With Dong Huang's current ability, there is no problem for him to command the march of 100,000 Tiger Ben Guards, and the generals will be assisted in the battle, let alone a million troops......

Fu Jian knows, right?

If you really let him command a million troops, I'm afraid it's not as good as Fu Jian!

The most valuable thing about Dong Huang is that he is self-aware.

He can't resist soldiers, but he can...... General, Dong Huang found Fa Zheng.

As a result, the burden on Fa Xiaozhi's body was heavy again.

However, after discussing the arrangement with Fazheng, Dong Huang found a problem, that is, Fazheng didn't seem to be very good.

At this moment, Dong Huang realized that Fa Zheng was just a teenager who was helped by his own seedlings, and his ability to command more than 100,000 people in Jiangdong does not necessarily mean that he can command millions of people.

Maybe the future Fa Zheng has such strength, but he is not qualified now.

In fact, not only Fa Zheng, but even Zhang Liao, whom Dong Huang had high hopes for, is not yet thirty years old, not to mention Wei Yanzhi and others.

Although age does not represent ability, it represents experience and experience, and without experience, who would dare to command a million troops as soon as they come up!

Not to mention anything else, just a logistics can drive people crazy!

I really want an army that doesn't need logistics!

It's a pity that it's hard to find an army that doesn't use logistics, and fantasies don't help solve current problems.

What to do?

Dong Huang's demand for handsome ministers has never been so strong.

Fortunately, there are still a lot of talents in Jiangdong or living in Jiangdong, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong and others are under the heavy use of Dong Huang, and they can well undertake the important task of maintaining the place and preparing logistics.

Dong Huang was overjoyed, and directly asked Zhang Zhao, Zhang Ji, and Zhen Yan to be in charge of the logistics of the army, and let Zhang Hong and Gu Yong follow the army counselors, and finally solved the problem of logistics scheduling of the army before reluctantly.

After that, Dong Huang and Fa Zheng discussed that they wanted to break it into pieces, add burdens to the generals, and let them bring more troops.

It is certainly not possible to command an army of a million in person, but if you only command a few armies, it is much simpler.

As a result, the Jiangbei camp in the south of the Yangtze River was formally established, and Zhou Tai was once again entrusted with an important task and became the governor of the navy, commanding the navy to ensure the transportation of troops across the river, and to ensure the logistics of the troops crossing the river and the water safety of Jinling.

As Zhang Liao's deputy general, Lejin, who has been following Dong Huang since the sour date period, was urgently transferred back, temporarily added the burden, and became the pioneer of the middle road, with Li Tong, Yu Ban, Xu Sheng, Hao Zhao, etc. as deputy generals, commanding an army of 100,000, crossing the river with the cooperation of Zhou Tai and attacking Hefei.

Zhao Yun also got the opportunity to take charge of himself and commanded 100,000 people to attack Guangling County.

In addition, the Nanban soldiers were also divided into two, the most elite remained, and the rest went to attack Shanyue. He also sent Zhu Ling to command 50,000 people under the command of Gao Shun, focusing on strengthening the defense of the first line of Runan, and freely deciding whether to capture Runan.

After this operation, the army of the Moling battalion was only 300,000 people left.

These people, Fa Zheng thinks that he can still operate them.

And the other legions, except for these 300,000 people, actually entered the stage of free operations with only strategic objectives and no specific instructions.

When Dong Huang was preparing for the Northern Expedition, the princes in the north could not sit still.

In fact, since Dong Huang's division occupied Jiangdong, the northern princes could not sit still.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao formed close allies, went to the front line to defeat Yuan Shu, and were bound to defeat Yuan Shu and build a defense line on the Huai River before Dong Huang digested Jiangdong.

In this process, not only Liu Bei and Guan Yu brothers performed well, but what made Yuan Shao even more pleased was that Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others, who had recently defected, also showed extraordinary bravery and wisdom. The Liu brothers and the Sun Ce brothers are like two sharp swords, killing Yuan Shujun crying for his father and mother.

"Giving birth to a son should be like a grandson!"

The more Yuan Shao looked at the handsome and brave Sun Ce, the more he liked it, and he only hated that he didn't give birth to a daughter.

At this moment, Yan Liangwen, the Hebei general who received a boxed lunch on the appearance, was not fragrant.

Yuan Shao grabbed Sun Ce's hand: "Bo Fu lost his father, I also lost my wife, Bo Fu is willing to worship me as his father, and when Yuan Shu is pacified, I will do my best to avenge Bo Fu!" ”
