Chapter 1096

After the news of Xianbei's invasion to the south spread, for a moment, the two states were in seclusion, and the wind was fierce. After Lv Bu's military order was issued, people in the three counties in the north of Bingzhou were even more worried. Under the surface, undercurrents were surging violently, but now people have no heart to observe these, so no one paid attention to them at all.

Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, Guangyang, Jixian and the government of the state of Yan is also very busy. He is very busy because of the relocation of the rich families in the four counties of Youzhou. I didn't expect that at this critical time, Xianbei people should join forces to send out troops. There are millions of them. It can be said that there is a leak in the house and there is a continuous rain in the night.

Today's Yan army can be said to be the weakest in strength. Just after a big defeat, Gongsun Zan has broken his bones and muscles. I didn't expect that his strength has not recovered, and there are foreign enemies invading. Can Gongsun Zan not be in a mess?

Gongsun Zan is gathering people to discuss affairs in the government of Yan state. In addition to the three righteous brothers, there are Shi guanjing, commander of Gongsun Ji, Du Wei Zou Dan and Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Zan's son.

There was a moment of silence in the assembly hall, and even the three righteous brothers, who were most active in jumping up and down, saw that the situation was not good, and they all shrank in the corner and kept silent.

Just as everyone was silent, Gongsun Hao, Gongsun Zan's personal commander, knocked on the door and came in from the outside. He handed a pigeon letter to Gongsun Zan, and then whispered a few words beside him. Then he left the chamber and closed the door again.

Looking at the pigeon letter from beginning to end, he seemed a little relieved. Then he gently looked up and looked at the people: "Tang Gong sent pigeon letter, saying that he had ordered his guards and General Zhao Yun's white horse Yi to be transferred from the Central Plains to Yanbei county. At the same time, he also ordered 50000 soldiers to be transferred from Qingzhou to support Youzhou. In addition, leting has started to recruit soldiers and horses. Tang Gong means to increase the number of soldiers and horses in leting to 10000 soldiers and 5000 cavalry. In this way, the army we can mobilize will be much more relaxed. "

When they heard this, they were all relieved. Guan Jing quickly asked, "Lord, what does Tang Gong mean to use the army of leting? Yanbei county or Lulong County? "

Gongsun Zan shook his head and said, "none of them. The Duke of Tang estimated that the Wuhuan people in Liaodong would fish in troubled waters, so the troops in leting would not move for the time being. Their role is to ensure the security of Liaoxi. As for Yanbei of Tang army and Lulong of our army, we must rely on our own troops. "

"Yes, it's a mature move. However, I don't have enough troops for Lulong. I think it will be more difficult to keep him. So Jing asked the Lord to order General Wang to increase his troops. It was difficult for him to train cavalry for a while, but the infantry was not so common. If he wanted to keep the troops for a year and a half, he would need to increase the infantry to 20000 at least. In order to avoid the shortage of troops at that time, and then recruit troops, it is inevitable that there will be some haste. " Guan Jing suggests;

Gongsun Zan thinks that's true. If Chifeng wants to hold on, it's hard to rely on the original 10000 soldiers, so now it's time to recruit 10000 soldiers first, so he won't be in a hurry. However, Chifeng has less than 100000 people in total, but it is difficult to support 20000 soldiers and 5000 cavalry.

Knowing what Gongsun Zan thought, Guan Jing said, "now there are 80000 people in Chifeng City. You can order General Wang to send nearly 30000 old and weak women and Confucians back to western Liaoning, and then recruit 5000 soldiers from the remaining population in Chifeng City, and transfer 5000 soldiers from western Liaoning. In this way, there are 20000 soldiers, 5000 cavalry, and nearly 30000 people in Chifeng City It's not impossible for Chifeng City to keep its guard for a year and a half. "

"It's just about the migration of the people in the four counties. What should we do?"

"No matter, since it is not suitable for Lulong to move people any more, they should be settled in youbeiping and Liaoxi."

"Well, according to Shiqi's arrangement, the rest of the counties also need to increase troops to guard against the attack of Xianbei people. However, we still need to defend the Wei army in Hebei. It's not suitable for Zhuo county to move lightly." Gongsun Zan immediately clapped the board and ordered,

Gongsun Ji next to him said: "Lord, there will be no word!"

Gongsun Zan was stunned and motioned Gongsun Ji to go on.

"Tang Gong said in his letter that the army of Tang came under the banner of going north to support Youzhou and fight against Xianbei's invasion to the south. Yuan Shao was sure to be afraid of the devil. According to discipline, the army of Zhuo County could be arranged in the same way. All the soldiers and horses in Zhuo county were transferred to most of the cities, leaving only a few hundred soldiers to guard the city. The rest of the soldiers and horses went north in the name of fighting against Xianbei, but secretly left a number of soldiers and horses To strengthen the defense of Zhuoxian, the rest of the troops were sent to western Liaoning. "

"And Zhuo county's cities will use these hundreds of old soldiers to recruit heavily, and increase the number of soldiers to 3000. If the Wei army really attacks, I believe that even if we leave thousands of old soldiers, we will not be able to defend the county. But if he really casts a rat's fear, the nearly ten thousand elite soldiers will be able to stop him."

Gongsun praises that it's true. His army has gone north to resist Xianbei people. If yuan Shaozhen sent troops to attack, there would be nothing he can do. At least Zhuo county can't defend it in nine cases out of ten. Rather than that, it's better to take a gamble and move the elite away. All the new recruits are left in the city. In addition, a large number of rich families have moved away, even if Zhuo is lost Most of the county cities, as long as the county city Zhuoxian is still in hand, their own losses will be small. If Yuan Shao did not attack, he would have more than ten thousand elite. In order to defend Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan directly sent 20000 elite soldiers to Tian Kai. This is the most elite soldier in his hand except his three brothers."Yes, it's a good plan." Gongsun Zan laughed and said, "well, you all start to prepare separately. Jicheng soldiers will leave for western Liaoning in five days."

"I'll take orders!"

"The end will take orders!"

All of them bowed to the promise.

In Hebei, Jizhou, Bohai State and Nanpi City, Yuan Shao was also gathering counsellors to discuss the matter. In the conference hall, Yuan Shaoan sat on the throne, looked at his advisers, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yuantu is a talented man who drives away the wolves and swallows the tigers. He let Lv Bu and Gongsun Zan be at a loss. After they fight with Xianbei people, we can just sit and reap the benefits of yuweng."

"Lord Xie's praise depends on his prestige. Otherwise, those Xianbei people would be so willing to join forces." Guo Tu stood up triumphantly. Although he took the credit to Yuan Shao's head, the expression on his face showed his inner pride at this time.
