Chapter 807

Although Cao Cao had a large territory, his population was almost the same as that of Anton's army, about 800 people. But a large site means that there are more cities to defend and more soldiers to be allocated.

Different from Cao Cao, Huangfu Chaobo was always thinking about how to get more people. From the beginning of Luoyang serial mission, he kept trying to increase the population under his rule.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been fished from Nanyang of Yuan Shu, hundreds of thousands from Huangjin of Qingzhou, and more than one million from all over Jizhou. In addition, people have been fished from the grasslands outside the great wall and people have been migrating from other places from time to time in recent years.

After several years of development, the population under anton'an's rule has reached a staggering 8 million, while Anton's army has only eight counties, that is to say, each county has a population of more than 1 million, which is very rare for the whole Han Dynasty.

So although the number of Cao Cao's troops was large, the troops that could be used in the end were not as good as the Anton's troops of Huangfu Chaobo.

Although Lu Bu in the North was not as strong as the two preceding families, his fighting power was extremely strong. Huangfu Chaobo had just sent Lu Bu to Bingzhou with the purpose of sending the God of plague, but now he has raised a fierce tiger.

In addition to Guanzhong in the West and Nanyang in the south, which direction the Anton army should develop in the future, they were unable to determine after several months of discussion. So Huangfu Chaobo takes this opportunity to speak out his doubts. I hope everyone can think about it.

It's just that this question can't be considered clearly for a while. So when Huangfu Chaobo raised it, people didn't answer it immediately, but Huangfu Chaobo had to let everyone go. However, he repeatedly told everyone to think about it carefully, and later he invited people to discuss it carefully.

After the discussion, Huangfu Chaobo went back to the backyard, only stayed for less than half a moment. Because of something in his heart, Huangfu Chaobo decided that he couldn't calm down. So he simply led Dianwei and some bodyguards to leave the Marquis's house and went around the city.

Although it has been decided to go to Huainan, the army will not be ready in a moment and a half. It will take time for troops and horses to be mobilized and food and grass to be mobilized. Moreover, it will take time for emperor zhaoshu to be sent to Luoyang and other Guandong princes. Therefore, Huangfu Chaobo still needs to wait patiently for a while before he can start.

In the next few days, all the food and grass needed for the expedition were ready. According to Xu Shu's arrangement, the army only prepared one month's food and grass to accompany, and the rest of the food and grass were ready to be purchased from Kong in Yuzhou.

Huang Zhong and Wang Ran led the troops of Huben camp to March. Dong Xun, the Deputy General of baotao camp, also led a group of school soldiers to Luoyang to join. As for the Shenwu army, Zhang Ying led a group of school soldiers to March. However, because the army was going south, Zhang Ying sent a general to Xinzheng and other Hou troops, but he only led his own pro guard camp to Luoyang.

On May 30, all the troops and supplies for the expedition were ready, and the imperial edict of Chang'an was sent to all the princes in Kanto.

At the end of the morning, general Anton cangting Hou Huangfu Chaobo paid homage to the heaven in the northern suburb of Luoyang, and issued a proclamation, sending troops to denounce the puppet and rebellious Zhongshi Dynasty.

At the same time, the emperor of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an announced to the world, which probably means that Yuan Shu did not want to serve the imperial court after the fourth generation and the third Duke of the Han Dynasty. Instead, he wanted to claim the title of emperor by blasphemy. Obviously, it was treacherous. Therefore, the imperial court called on the people who knew the world to beg for thieves, pacify the rebels, and return the world to heaven and earth.

After sun CE and Huangfu Chaobo, Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Kong Bi of Yuzhou successively wrote that they would send troops to beg for thieves, while Li Guosi of Guandong, Zhang Ji of Nanyang and Dong Huang of Liangzhou, who were farther away, also came out to wave the flag.

After the memorial ceremony, Huangfu Chaobo personally led Anton's army to send troops all the way east toward hulaoguan. After the confluence of the army in Xincheng County with a school of Shenwu army of Zhang Ying, they entered the territory of Yuzhou to join the army of Yuzhou.

When all the princes in Kanto said they were going to send troops to beg for thieves or wave flags to shout, Yuan Shu, the emperor of Zhong's family, got the news in Shouchun palace in Huainan. He was calling a court meeting to discuss how to deal with the attack of all the princes.

In Shouchun palace, Yuan Shu, wearing a crown and a uniform, sits under the main hall. On both sides of the hall, there are hundreds of civil and military officials. It looks really magnificent. Unfortunately, although the new dynasty is not prosperous, even the things discussed in the court meeting are like this.

On the main hall, Yuan Huan, who is in charge of Yuan Shu's intelligence, is reporting the recent intelligence collected by his subordinates. "

" Your Majesty qicuo, in addition to sun CE's announcement against your Majesty in Jiangdong, the princes of Luoyang Huangfu Chaobo, Yanzhou Caocao, Yuzhou Kongyu, Nanyang Zhangji, Chang'an Li Guosi, Xiliang Donghuang and so on successively issued an address, saying that our Zhongshi Dynasty was rebellious and did not recognize our emperor. "

"Pa!" On the throne, Yuan Shu slapped the arm of the Dragon chair with his hand and said angrily, "son of the sun family, if he hadn't jumped out first to oppose me, where would so many clowns have jumped out of this world?"

"Did Ai Qing ever find out who was going to send troops?"

"At present, apart from sun CE, Huangfu Chaobo, Cao Cao and Kong Bi all have signs of moving troops. The Anton army and Yanzhou army have begun to gather forces. It is estimated that they will move southward in the next month or two. Your majesty, please make arrangements early. ""Hum, a little clown, do you really think my hundreds of thousands of elite troops are made of mud? When I was in Nanyang, if Lv Bu and Zhang Yang had not won the battle, my 100000 elite troops would have been defeated in Luoyang. "

"If it wasn't for the loss of 100000 troops in Luoyang, how could I have the shame of being surrounded in Nanyang? If they don't come this time, I'll let the world see my strong soldiers. "

Speaking of this, Yuan Shu loudly ordered: "where is the general?"

"Weichen is here."

In the palace of Chinese martial arts, one of the top generals came out, who was Ji Ling, the number one general under Yuan Shu. After Luoyang was captured that year, Ji Ling was redeemed by Yuan Shu, and then he was still reused. After Ji Ling returned to Nanyang from Luoyang, he immediately trained tens of thousands of heavy infantry for Yuan Shu, and in the subsequent battle of Nanyang, he led his troops to defeat Liu Biao and Zhang Ji, which made him more valued by Yuan Shu.

Later, Yuan Shu ran to Huainan, and Ji Ling captured PI and Guangling counties for him, which almost doubled Yuan Shu's practice. We should know that the population of Xuzhou was originally concentrated in the East China Sea. Who knows that Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou twice, making many people in the East China Sea and Pengcheng flee to the south. As a result, when Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to attack the two counties, the population of the two counties almost doubled.
