Chapter 1131

Outside Chifeng City, Huangfu Chaobo, Gongsun Zan and Xiaoqiang all appeared outside the west gate. More than 30000 cavalry of Tang army were ready. At the command of Huangfu Chaobo, more than 10000 cavalry of Yanbei County of Tang army escorted 20000 prisoners, 100000 cattle and sheep, and hundreds of vehicles. Beside Huangfu Chaobo, there were guards and Baima Yicong About 20000 people.

"Thank you, brother Chaobo. If it wasn't for my help again, Lu Long's Xianbei army would not have been defeated so easily. What's more, I have gained a lot of horses, cattle and sheep. Thank you very much!" Gongsun Zan stood in front of Huangfu Chaobo, his face solemnly arched his hand;

"brother Bogui is polite, you and I depend on each other. If Lu long is uncertain, Yanbei will be restless. Helping brother Bogui is also helping myself, not to mention the harvest of Yanbei county." Huangfu Chaobo said with a smile;

Gongsun Zan also said with a smile: "in any case, I will remember Chaobo's help." Then he turned to Xiaoqiang and said, "there is also general Zhenglu. Gongsun Zan is also very grateful for his help this time."

Xiaoqiang quickly bowed himself and said, "the Duke of Yan is very kind. Leting has been under the protection of the Duke of Yan for many years. This time, the Duke of Yan has something to do, so it should be his intention to give him a share."

Huangfu Chaobo was stunned. He didn't expect that this young man could speak so well. Then he thought that it must be Yu fan who had expected this in advance, so he explained it.

As for Xiaoqiang's attitude, Gongsun Zan was indeed very advanced, and said, "I don't know when general Zhenglu will send troops to Liaodong?"

Both of them were in a daze. You should know that Gongsun Zan didn't have this attitude towards leting's sending troops to Liaodong. Although he didn't explicitly oppose it, he didn't agree with it. Now this question suddenly appeared. It was obvious that leting had already recognized that he had sent troops to attack gongsundu in Liaodong.

Zhou Qiang didn't know how to answer. He looked up at Huangfu Chaobo. Huangfu Chaobo nodded to him imperceptibly. Zhou Qiang knew what he was thinking and quickly replied, "the army has won three cities. Wuhuan's troops are not in full control. Besides, it's snowing now, so we need to wait until next year's spring ploughing."

Gongsun Zan nodded and stopped talking. Instead, he looked at Huangfu Chaobo and said, "are you going to return to Luoyang or stay in Yanbei

"So that my elder brother can know that I have handed over the matter of Yanbei to Meng Yi, so after I return to Longhua, I will return to Luoyang as soon as I tell you. And the faster, the more. It's going to snow, and the road will be more difficult." Huangfu Chaobo didn't want to hide from them, so he answered straightforwardly.

he did arrange that. The reason why he gave more than ten thousand prisoners and all the cattle and sheep supplies to the cavalry of Yanbei County for escort was that he could return to Longhua as soon as possible. After explaining the affairs of Yanbei County, he and Zhao Yun led more than twenty thousand troops to ride back to the Central Plains.

"Well, after you leave, you must return to Jicheng. See you later!" Gongsun said, "see you later!"

"See you later!"

Each of them saluted himself, and then led his army away, one to the west, one to the south, and the other to the southeast.

Two days later, Huangfu Chaobo led the army to escort more than 20000 prisoners to Yixun Town, and Meng Yi was also here. After handing over all the prisoners to the garrison of Yixun Town, Huangfu Chaobo called Meng Yi to the zhengzhengzhengguan in the town.

"Congratulations, my Lord, you have won a great victory!" As soon as he went to the government hall, Meng Yi said with a smile to Huangfu Chaobo;

"Tongxi, these things are not all for Yanbei county. By the way, there are more than 10000 cavalry escorting a large number of cattle, sheep and materials on the way back. You should send soldiers to meet them immediately."

"No, I'll arrange it right away." With that, he was ready to go out and arrange for the soldiers to meet the supplies behind.

"Wait a minute!" Huangfu Chaobo stopped and said, "wait a minute, I have something to say. I came to Yanbei for the purpose of setting up a new county. I was only going to stay for a month, but I didn't expect that I was invaded by Xianbei people for several months. Now it's the end of the new year, and the snow is coming soon, so I have to arrange things here as soon as possible, and then I'll talk with you The cavalry returned to Luoyang together, so the matter of Yanbei will be entrusted to you. "

"Please give me instructions!"

"In fact, there is nothing else. Now Xianbei is defeated. It is estimated that it will be unable to invade the south in one or two years. Therefore, Yanbei will have two rare years to develop. During this period of time, in addition to strengthening the construction of internal affairs and striving for complete self-sufficiency, you also need to enhance the strength of Yanbei army."

"Huang Xu is still in Longhua, and I will communicate with him at that time. The strength of the crane control army must be increased, from two steps, one riding and three schools to four steps and four riding, with a total of 40000 troops."

"Ah Hearing that the crane control army was going to increase to 40000, Meng Yi was shocked. Just as he was about to speak, Huangfu Chaobo reached out to stop him and said, "listen to me first."

"No!"

"The reason for this arrangement is because of the Yanjun army. We can't place all our hopes on them. Whether it's Yanbei county or Liaodong County, I will stabilize the layout here. In the next few years, I don't think I will have much time to take Yanbei into consideration, so we will finally rely on Yanbei, Lulong, Liaoxi and Liaodong counties. This is my responsibility If these four prefectures are not protected, then our Tang army's war horses will be cut off. I will not explain the consequences to you any more. I believe you can see it. "Meng Yi nodded, and Huangfu Chaobo continued: "in addition to being able to resist the attack of Xianbei people, 40000 soldiers need to be ready to send troops to support Yan army or Liaodong Xiaoqiang. Gongsunzan is headstrong. If I can't say it here, I can still persuade him, but it's hard for others to persuade him. That's why I hope the crane control army can enhance its combat power. ”

"in addition to the need to increase the strength of the crane control army, the garrison of Yanbei county also needs to increase the strength, according to the strength of 10000 counties, 5000 counties and no less than 1000 passes." Looking at Meng Yi with a bitter face, Huang Fu Chao Bo said with a smile, "you don't have to do this. When all the people in Qingzhou arrive, plus more than 100000 Xianbei people captured this time, the population of Yanbei county should reach 700000. In this way, although there is some pressure to raise 700000 troops, it's not impossible."

After listening to Huangfu Chaobo's words, Meng Yi couldn't help complaining: "Lord, Yanbei county is a new County, not like the prosperous old county in the Central Plains. Ten to one, the pressure is not a little bit."

"A lot of cattle and sheep have been harvested this time. I won't bring them back to the Central Plains at all. I'll give them all to you, OK?" Huangfu Chaobo looks at Meng Yi with a smile, where he doesn't know what he's thinking, and says,

"it's so good!" Meng Yi was overjoyed.
