Everything was in Guo Jia and Li Jing's jihua, the only thing that surprised the two was the speed of Yan Baihu's march, Yan Baihu, who set off from Yangzhou City, had not been able to walk out of Yangzhou a hundred miles away from Yangzhou until now. This made Liu Fan and Guo Jia frown, what is the situation? When he Yan Baihu rushed over with a large army, he didn't know that he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue, which would seriously hinder Liu Fan's follow-up.

"City Lord Wang, General Cai, General Zhang, you are also very clear about the current situation, and now Zhang Rang is still integrating the Empire's Praetorian Guards, so there is no strength left to attack us. So from now on, Jianye City will be our main city, I don't know if the three of you have any suggestions?" Liu Fan took Guo Jia and Zhu Mingyu to sit on the main seat of the City Lord's Mansion, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and Wang Cang, Wang Tong broke up and stood on both sides.

Wang Cang has now worked wholeheartedly for Liu Fan after some exchanges with Liu Fan, for Liu Fan, he does need an expert in governance now, Guo Jiasheng is planning, Li Jingsheng is handsome, and now Liu Fan's hands are only missing a person who governs, and now Wang Cang's addition just makes up for Liu Fan's shortcomings in this regard. Wang Cang may not be a great talent, but he is the talent that Liu Fan needs the most.

"My lord, now our strength is very weak, the total strength is only more than 300,000, and we still have to defend three cities, so for today's plan, we can only recruit troops on a large scale, train capable soldiers, and deal with Zhang Rang's attack at any time. Wang Cang looked at Liu Fan and said: "Now I have a lot of grain and grass in Jianye City, which is enough to supply the needs of 500,000 troops for half a year, and it is easy to feed 500,000 troops with money in the treasury." ”

"Yes, my lord. We continue to have a large number of troops now, and Zhang Rang has twelve Praetorian Guard legions in his hands, even if we only send three Praetorian Legions, our current strength is far from his opponent, so conscription has become our top priority. Zhang Yun and Cai Mao also said on the side. Now they are all Liu Fan tied to a rope, one is prosperous, one is lost, and in the face of Zhang Rang's army, naturally every idea is to replenish sufficient troops.

Liu Fan nodded and said: "The problem of replenishing troops is not a big problem, the problem that is bothering us now is the problem of weapons and equipment, the 200,000 garrison troops we brought out from the Tiger Pass, and the Yangzhou garrison that was incorporated into it, although they are also equipped with the standard weapons of the empire." But it is far less sophisticated than the Empire's Praetorian Guards, and even many soldiers are still wearing the iron armor that the Empire has eliminated. ”

"There are also bows and arrows, Yangzhou is not a military Liliang Chongzhou, and the only weapon manufacturing workshop is also in Yangzhou City. Moreover, Yangzhou does not produce iron and charcoal, and even if we can collect enough craftsmen, we will not be able to produce weapons on a large scale. Wang Cang frowned, the armory factory in Yangzhou City can also produce large equipment, but it is limited to Yangzhou not producing coal and iron. The scale has not been large, and it can only maintain the normal supply of local garrisons in Yangzhou.

Everyone frowned, not having weapons is indeed a headache, and the martial arts of the empire prevail. Soldiers can be recruited easily, but without weapons, there is not much that everyone can do. Jiaozhou. And the state, Liangzhou. There are weapons workshops in Yizhou, but it's a pity that Liu Fan's current forces can't attack these places. If there is one person who can preside over the military, the Marquis of Tianwu, the Marquis of Liewu or the Marquis of Fengwu, the armor is not a problem, but unfortunately the three of them were seriously injured and were relieved of their military power, and the other five Wuhou are all wanted criminals now, and they have not yet appeared.

"My lord, I have in mind a place where we can replenish enough armor. Wang Cang suddenly thought of something, and quickly walked to the side of the map, pointed to the location of a mountain in Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, and said: "Here, this is the location where the imperial supply Jiaozhou armor is located." The Jingzhou garrison is responsible for guarding here, and the general of the town guard is Kuaitong, who is directly under the same command as the Jingzhou general. ”...,
