Zhang Xiu reached out and took the white cloth, expanded it and looked at it. This was a newspaper in Malay. It was written in a hurry, and the handwriting looked a bit like macaque. If you hadn't read this font frequently, Zhang Xiu might not have recognized it.

After putting down the white cloth, Zhang Xiu raised his head and said to the Zhuge brothers who showed concern, "Yuan Shao appointed the high-ranking cavalry as the governor of Bingzhou. With Guo Tu and Wen Chou led 100,000 troops to guard Shangdang. With General Ma Yan led 20,000 elite troops to guard Yanmen Pass. With General Zang Hong led 20,000 troops to guard Xianggao. Cao Cao sent the general to recruit troops back to the Central Plains, and he defended Jinyang with 50,000 troops."

"Map." After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he immediately said to Ma Dai.

"No." Ma Dai responded to the noodle and turned around. Not long after, Ma Dai took the map and came in. Zhang Xiu spread the map on the table and greeted Zhuge Liang, who was thinking, Zhuge Jin came over and watched the map together.

Zhang Xiu looked down and saw that Bingzhou was Shanxi. Originally, the current governor of the Liang Kingdom Shuofang was north of Yanmen Pass, all of which were the territory of Bingzhou.

However, Bingzhou is now bounded to Yanmen in the north, and bounded with Jizhou in the east by the Taihang Mountains. The road is surrounded by Huguan and Hedong in the south and Henei County.

Such a place is blocked by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The cities in the state are all built on small plains. Now Yuan Shao and Cao Cao suppressed Shangdang, Yanmen, Jinyang, Xianggao with their army, and could radiate all Bingzhou cities and protect the entire Bingzhou.

Jinyang and Shangdang are all big cities, so let’s not talk about it for now. There were Pang De’s men and horses in the governor’s department outside Yanmen County. In order to prevent Pang De, Yuan Shao also kept his troops.

This Xianggao City looks like Qishan Fort. Although it is not a pass, it is a solid city on the main road.

If the attack on Xianggao, there will inevitably be a price. If the army bypasses Xianggao, the grain route will be harassed.

And this Zang Hong is not an ordinary person. In history books, this person is as famous as Chen Deng. His greatest ability is to unite his subordinates and fight hard.

In history, Lu Bu plagued Yanzhou and Cao Cao almost lost his home. The main reason for this is not that Lu Bu is so strong, but that Zhang Miao from Yanzhou. The Zhang Chao brothers had a foundation in Yanzhou, had a strong clan and strong army, and with many people like Chen Gong, Lu Bu was able to succeed.

Later, Cao Cao pacified Yanzhou and surrounded Zhang Chao. Zhang Chao was friends with Zang Hong and wrote a letter to Zang Hong for help. Zang Hong was alone and lonely, so he asked Yuan Shao for help, but Yuan Shao refused.

Zhang Chao was killed. Zang Hong made a grudge against Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao attacked Zang Hong.

At that time, Zang Hong was guarding the lonely city, and Yuan Shao sent a large army to siege it, but it didn't catch it for a year. Zang Hong's city had enough food, so he killed his beloved concubine and distributed it to the soldiers. The soldiers were grateful and no one betrayed Zang Hong.

Later, the city was broken, and there were only seven or eight thousand men and eight thousand men in the city, all of which were dead.

On the way, Zang Hong sent two Simas to break through the siege and seek help from Lu Bu. Later, the two Simas came back and killed themselves.

According to historical books, Zang Hong is heroic and heroic.

History is now beyond recognition, and Zang Hong is still a good subordinate of Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao asked Zang Hong to guard Xiang Gao, which was considered a knowledgeable person and good use.

This person is definitely a powerful character. As for Cao Cao's dispatch of most of his troops to return to the Central Plains, this was not beyond Zhang Xiu's expectations.

Everyone has selfish intentions. Now Cao Cao personally led 50,000 troops and helped Yuan Shao defend Bingzhou, which was already the most righteous.

"Yuan Shao, Cao Cao has set up such a formation, and I am not able to defeat Bingzhou," Zhang Xiu sighed and said.

Zhuge Jin did not dare to comment on the lack of war. Zhuge Liang said, "Your Majesty. Although the enemy is strong, we also have an advantage. Now Zhang Yan is on the Taihang Mountains and has recovered some troops. He can cut off the food route. Bingzhou does not produce much grain. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have nearly 200,000 troops guarding Bingzhou. Most of the grain is transported from Jizhou, which is very difficult."

"Yes." Zhang Xiu nodded. Zhang Yan is indeed our sharp blade and can play a great role.

The black bandits on the Taihang Mountains will make full use of them.

Zhang Xiu then calculated his troops arrangements.

Taishici had 20,000 soldiers in Huaicheng, many of whom were newly recruited new recruits.

Chen Deng and Ma Chao each have ten thousand people.

Fan Chou, Hu Zhen, Gao Shun and other generals, with 50,000 people.

Huaxiong and Hucheer had 60,000 Qiang, Xiongnu, Huhan cavalry, of which 20,000 were heavily armored cavalry.

Xu Huang had 20,000 people, more than half of them were recruits.

In the battle of Hedong and Hanoi, Cao Cao attacked Xu Huang the most fiercely.

He commanded the imperial guards of Qimen, Yulin, and Huben, and 10,000 people.

Outside Yanmen Pass, Pang De led 20,000 elite soldiers.

The governor of Shuofang, Meng Gongwei, also had tens of thousands of Han and Xiongnu cavalry.

Zhang Yan is on the Taihang Mountains and has about 10,000 troops.

The total number of troops from all aspects of the Liang Dynasty was more than 200,000. However, it was impossible for these more than 200,000 troops to be devoted to the war.

First of all, cavalry cannot be used to attack cities, and secondly, Hanoi County and Jizhou border. Hanoi County must leave enough troops to defend, otherwise Hanoi will be attacked and the rear route will be encircled, and the whole market will be lost.

"Ziyu, you have drafted an edict. You ordered Taishici, Chen Deng and Hu Cheer to lead 60,000 horse and infantry troops to defend in Henei County. The rest of the people and horses all went to Anyi to station, and together with Xu Huang, and returned to Xu Huang's control. You ordered the court to allocate sufficient supplies to supply them to the two cities of Huai County and Anyi. After our autumn harvest, we attacked Bingzhou."

Zhang Xiu raised his head and said to Zhuge Jin.

"promise."

Zhuge Jin responded to the promise and immediately ordered people to send the four treasures of the study and began to draft an edict. Although it was just a transfer of troops and a transfer of food, the edict was divided into many pieces and given to the generals who led the army.

Zhuge Liang's heart was distracted.

"Chen Deng is the governor of Xuzhou, but he helps Taishi Ci guard Huaicheng. Although Chen Deng is brave and resourceful, he is weak in charge and is not as useful as Ma Chao."

"Your Majesty asked Hu Cheer to lead the cavalry to stay in Hanoi at a critical moment. Also, because Hua Xiong's cavalry had 20,000 Xiongnu light cavalry. Are they more adaptable to the water and soil of Bingzhou?"

Zhang Xiu couldn't care what Zhuge Liang was thinking.

The matter of agriculture and technology tree is the future, not the present. After he issued the edict, he brought his men and horses back to Huaicheng Palace.

Zhuge Liang personally sent it out of the yamen and watched Zhang Xiu leave.

After returning to the palace, Zhang Xiu planned to sit in the Da Cai family, enjoy the superb massage skills of Da Cai family, and have a sleep.

"Your Majesty, Sima Yi, the Minister of Attendance."

Ma Dai suddenly caught up and reported.

"Is there anything wrong with this guy?" Zhang Xiu pinched his chin, nodded, and turned toward the side hall.

Sima Yi doesn't speak often, but he just starts to the point.
