What Yuan Shu said was clear and logical, and he, Xun You, had nothing to argue with. He had to fight anyway, and there was a difference between fighting first and then fighting later.
Although Tian Feng agreed with Yuan Shu's statement, his eyes were always fixed on Yanzhou.
"Yuan Hao, do you have any objections?"
Seeing Tian Feng's silence and looking at his eyes, Yuan Shu knew that he also had his own thoughts.
"Lord, I have no objection to attacking Montenegro first, but there is one thing we should pay attention to."
Since Yuan Shu asked a question, Tian Feng took the opportunity to speak.
"Speaking."
"Look, my lord, Yanzhou is rampant from east to west, and there are many celebrities and military officials. If we want to go south, no matter where we go, Yanzhou will be a strong backbone."
Tian Feng's words made Yuan Shu and Xun You frown.
Yanzhou, what kind of place is that? It has outstanding people, not to mention Yingchuan, it is the place that people all over the world yearn for.
Not only that, this place will become very lively in the future. Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Zhang Miao are all the protagonists, with open swords and open spears, and countless hidden arrows to hurt people.
"Yuan Hao's words are very true. Yanzhou is the place where the Four Wars were fought. It connects Jizhou to the north, Xuzhou to the east, and Jingzhou to the south, and Sizhou to the west. No matter where we want to go, Yanzhou is an important place, but now Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, is in the limelight.
It’s really not easy to make enemies when you’re in prosperity.”
Xun You could also see the Yanzhou pointed out by Tian Feng.
"Yanzhou, let's wait and see for the time being. The most urgent task is to concentrate all our efforts on defeating the Black Mountain bandits first."
Yanzhou has historically been the stronghold of Boss Cao. Although his power has not yet risen, Liu Dai is not a good person. If he provokes him rashly, he may lose more than he gains. Instead of thinking about what is there and what is not, it is better to take down his own power first.
.
"My lord, the Black Mountain bandit army is huge, claiming to be one million. Our 50,000 new soldiers have not yet left the camp. The main force is only 30,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. We also need to reserve troops and horses in the two counties of Bohai and Hejian to guard against Gongsun Zan. This way
At first, we can only send 20,000 troops, which is a drop in the bucket."
The tone has been set, and now it's up to the counselors.
"It's just a yellow scarf, it's not worth mentioning. I'm willing to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to wipe out the Black Mountain bandits."
Hearing Tian Feng's words, Wen Chou couldn't help but sneer, and jumped out directly, asking Yuan Shu for orders.
"Uncle evil, step aside, you will be there everywhere."
Looking at Wen Chou and Yuan Shu, he couldn't help but scratch his head. When he was smart, he was smarter than a monkey. When he should be dumbfounded, he was also the dumbest.
"promise."
Wen Chou couldn't help but shook his head.
"What's so difficult about this? You have a plan that allows the lord to get fifty thousand elite soldiers."
Looking at Tian Feng, Xun You nodded.
"If you have anything to say, Gongda, just say it. There's no need to be rigid."
The people of the Three Kingdoms pay attention to modesty and humility. If Tian Feng can raise this problem, he will naturally have a solution. The reason why he does not say it is just humility.
"My lord has newly settled in Jizhou, and he can issue a state pastoral order, saying that he will review the armies of various places, and order the governors and ministers of various places to send out elite soldiers and fierce generals to review all the letters.
At that time, the number and eliteness of the soldiers and horses will be determined. Those with few soldiers and horses and poor quality can be removed from their posts. Those with strong soldiers and horses can write to the court and be rewarded.
In this way, the problem of insufficient troops and horses is solved, secondly, it can be seen whether each county has surrendered, and thirdly, it has left an upper hand for itself. If there are any people who disobey, they can be directly eliminated."
Xun You's plan is actually a conspiracy worthy of the name. Now it depends on what the prefects of each county and the prime minister should do, whether they will obediently send troops and horses, or whether they will act in a secretive way and be clever.
"Okay, just follow what Gongda said and issue a state pastoral order."
Yuan Shuzhou issued a pastoral order, and the whole Jizhou was in a rage. The prefects of all counties scratched their heads after receiving the state pastoral order.
They only have so many elite soldiers under their command, ranging from ten thousand to twenty or thirty thousand at most. Only with soldiers can you have the strength to survive in troubled times. Yuan Shu's actions clearly let them stand in line and make their own choice whether to surrender or perish.
In the end, relying on the reputation of the four sects and three princes of the Yuan family and the illustrious name Yuan Shu gained during his campaign against Dong, the prefects and prime ministers of each county responded to the call by writing letters and dispatching their best troops and generals to gather in Xindu City.
When soldiers and horses from various counties went to Xindu, Jushou had already learned about Yuan Shu's next plan through telegrams, and Changshan County also became active under his command.
Thirty thousand new soldiers of the militia, escorting countless supplies, ordnance, and war horses, gathered in Shiyi.
The two counties of Yundong, Hejian and Bohai in Jizhou received orders to clear the fields and guard their troops in the big city to defend against the invasion of Gongsun Zan's troops.
Zhao Yun and Gao Lan reunited their troops, then bypassed Hejian County and attacked Gongsun Zan's base camp at Youbeiping. At the same time, Yuan Shu signaled that Xianchou led the first army and the second army to Bohai County, and Yan Liang led the army.
The Polu army rushed to Hejian County.
In Xindu City, only Ju Yi and the Xianden Army who were trained based on his original troops and horses were left.
"Lord, it's time to open your jaws."
Everything is ready, let’s open our jaws first.
"Okay, let him come to see me at the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion."
Hearing Zhang Jia coming, Yuan Shu put away the bamboo slips in his hand. He wanted to see what kind of existence this five-son general of Cao Wei would be.
"promise."
After a while, a warrior led by the guards came to Yuan Shu.
"Opening one's jaw in a humble position, see Mr. Zhou Mu."
When the warrior enters the room, he bows to him. This is the etiquette that a subordinate should do.
"I have long heard that Zhang Jiao and Zhang Junyi are the greatest tiger generals in the world, with courage that no man can match. Now that I have seen him, it is indeed better to meet him than to be famous."
Yuan Shu came directly to Zhang Jia and carefully looked at the tiger minister of Wei.
"Sir, this is too much praise."
Hearing Yuan Shu's praise, he opened his jaw and blushed. As an honest man, he really couldn't bear such praise.
"Okay, regardless of whether you are praised or not, I just ask you if you are willing to serve me as your master and kill the enemy for me."
What kind of person is Yuan Shu? He is the legitimate son of the fourth and third princes. He is the general governor of the Dong alliance. Now he has Han Fu's Zen throne in Jizhou. He is a real prince.
Faced with the recruitment of such a person, if he hesitates, he is not opening his jaw, but acting like a fool.
"Master Meng has taken a fancy to me, and I dare not give up to you. My lord, if you come again, please accept me and bow to me."
He opened his jaw and kowtowed directly without hesitation.
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for regaining the famous general Zhang Jaw, and getting a chance to draw a lottery."
"Okay, okay, Zhang Jia, I will appoint you as the Lieutenant of the Jieyou Military Academy, and you will be responsible for organizing and training the first army."
Unexpectedly, I really didn't expect that the open jaw would be so easy to recover, and Yuan Shu laughed excitedly.
"promise."
Zhang Jia was also happy. Although the former Sima from other divisions also led troops, they were only commanders. Now the captain of the Jieyou Army means that all affairs of this army are under his control. It can be said that he is now the leader of the unified army.
General.
Zhang Jia and Ju Yi in Jizhou have been recovered, and now it's up to Gongsun Zan. Only by forcing him back to Youzhou can we attack the Black Mountain Army properly.
There is no shortage of horses in Changshan County. All the troops and horses led by Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Yan Liang were driven by carriages.
