Chapter 587

At present, there are only two battalions and three schools in Sizhou, namely Huben camp and Longxiang camp, and one school in Zhoucang, Huaxiong and mushun's hands. However, such forces can not meet the needs of Sizhou, so Huang Zhongcai came to Huangfu Chaobo to discuss the establishment of combat troops.

After listening to Huang Zhong's words, both Huangfu Chaobo and Tian Feng fell into deep meditation. A moment later, Huangfu Chaobo stood up and said, "since the three of us can't make up our minds, we'd better invite Zilong and Yuanzhi, and we'll discuss this matter together and finally settle it down." With that, they were invited to discuss business.

Before long, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and Lou GUI arrived at the general's residence one after another. After everyone sat down, Huangfu Chaobo told the reason why they were invited.

After listening to Huangfu Chaobo's words, Xu Shu pondered a little and said, "recently, I'm also thinking about the layout of the whole department. Now I have some immature ideas. I just want to discuss with the Lord and you."

With that, Xu Shu explained his idea to the public in detail. In Xu Shu's opinion, although the whole Sizhou was said to be more than 80 cities in four counties, only half of the cities in Henan county (Luoyang county), Hongnong county and Hanoi county were in the hands of Pingdong general's house.

So in terms of the layout of troops and horses, Xu Shu's idea is to focus on Luoyang, stabilize Luoyang first, and then take into account the other two counties. The specific way is to arrange two battalions in Luoyang and Xingyang, respectively, to frighten the cities of Henan County on the East and west sides of Hulao pass. Hanoi County arranged a battalion of soldiers to frighten the cities in Hanoi, and cooperated with Hanoi prefecture to gradually control the cities to the east of Huai county.

As for Hongnong City, there are few people in Hongnong City, and there are not many people in the county. It takes a long time to recover. Therefore, it only needs to garrison two or three school soldiers, stick to the Guandong passage, and prevent the Xiliang army from entering the East.

Xu Shu also had some preliminary ideas about the layout of troops in Hanoi. As a county, Hanoi used to have 10000 to 20000 garrisons under the command of the prefect. If there are 20000 to 25000 soldiers, now there are 5000 soldiers under the command of Mu Shun stationed in dangyin. Then Huai county needs three schools of soldiers and one school of cavalry.

As for the general of this battalion, Xu Shu skilfully avoided this question and turned to Huangfu Chaobo.

After listening to Xu Shu's idea, everyone felt that it was feasible. In this way, there were plenty of troops everywhere, but there were no overstaffed troops. Huangfu Chaobo looked at the crowd and saw that everyone thought it was feasible. Just as he was about to mention the candidate of Hanoi general, he heard a voice outside the door.

"Elder martial brother, this is feasible, but it is unnecessary to divide the two battalions of Henan County into two places."

As soon as they heard it, they couldn't hear Pang Tong's voice. They looked up outside the door and saw Pang Tong walking towards the hall. Huangfu was overjoyed and said, "didn't Shiyuan go back to Jingzhou? Why did you return to Luoyang so soon? "

"General Tong Zhi has returned to Luoyang, and he will have a feast for all the officers and generals under his command, so he hurried to Luoyang. Fortunately, he was in time, otherwise all the good wine would be drunk up." Pang Tong said with a smile;

when they heard this, they all burst into laughter.

"Shiyuan is joking," said Huangfu Chaobo with a laugh. For Pang Tong, except that he has not yet recognized his master, people basically don't regard him as an outsider. In particular, Huangfu Chaobo has ordered that Pang tong can travel freely in all parts of the prefecture, even in Pingdong general's residence. That's why Pang Tong entered the assembly hall of the general's residence at the end of the notice.

When everyone was almost laughing, Huangfu Chao said, "what is the truth of what Shiyuan just said?"

"General, everybody, please look," Pang Tong went to the front of the case table, pointed to the map of Sizhou on it and said, "where are all the cities in Henan to the east of hulaoguan? Hanoi in the north, Chenliu in the East and Yingchuan in the south. What's the use of a battalion of soldiers in Hanoi? If Dong Zhuo's army invades Hongnong by land and water, then Luoyang's soldiers must go west to support Hongnong. Then Luoyang will defend the emptiness. If other troops take advantage of the emptiness, what should we do? "

After hearing this, Huangfu Chaobo said in a low voice, "once Huben camp is transferred away, I can transfer Longxiang camp to Luoyang as soon as possible, and Luoyang defense will be free."

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "it will take three or two days for the army of longxiangying to go from Xingyang to Luoyang. The battlefield will change in a flash. No one can tell how the war situation will change in three or two days."

With that, Pang Tong left the table, walked slowly in the hall, and said in a soft voice: "when he returned to Xiangyang this time, my uncle, Mr. Shuijing and Mr. Huang all inquired about the Luoyang war in detail, and then explained it to Tong carefully. Tong suddenly found out how lucky we were to win this Luoyang war."

Later, Pang Tong told the public what he had discussed with Pang Degong and his party when he returned to Xiangyang.

After returning to Xiangyang, Pang Tong was very proud that he was able to solve the siege of Luoyang. He showed off several times in front of his uncle, just like a child who did something terrible and kept showing off in front of adults, hoping to get everyone's praise. Pang Degong did praise Pang Tong, but his subsequent questions calmed him down.They didn't ask him anything else. They just asked him if Yuan Shu's army didn't attack Luoyang directly after entering the boundary of Luoyang, but returned to attack Hangu pass, how many days could Huangfu Chaobo's army hold on?

Once Hangu pass is not defended, tens of thousands of Lu Bu's army and hundreds of thousands of Yuan Shu's army together with tens of thousands of Zhang Yang's army attack Luoyang, can Huangfu Chaobo really defend Luoyang?

A question down, let Pang Tong sweat dripping, suddenly wake up. It turned out that he was able to win not entirely because of his profound strategy, but because LV Bujun found a pig teammate. It is undeniable that Pang Tong did a good job in "gathering sand to form a tower, guarding the inside and working outside", but Yuan Shu's arrogance and contempt was the reason why the whole war was doomed to fail.

If Yuan Shu is not so proud, even if he has a trace of sincere cooperation instead of using the thoughts of Lu Bu, Zhang Yang and the two armies, he will attack Hangu first instead of Luoyang.

In this way, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Luoyang, and Huangfu Chaobo had no choice but to retreat to the inner city at the beginning. Moreover, even if they retreated to the inner city, if there were no reinforcements, they would be able to stay for ten days and a half months. Therefore, the reinforcements arranged by Pang Tong were very necessary.
