"Lord, we have rescued nearly a million people from Chang'an. In addition to old and weak prisoners, there are countless young and strong people. From these people, we can recruit 100,000 people into the militia."
Since Xun You raised the problem, he naturally had a solution in mind.
"Okay, let's recruit 100,000 militiamen from the people of Chang'an, and at the same time recruit 100,000 young people to form a Chang'an field army."
Yuan Shu nodded, now it's time for the people intercepted from Chang'an to come into play.
"promise."
One meeting not only decided on the battle of Youzhou, but also solved all the problems of prisoners and militia. It can be said that efficiency is paramount.
Yuan Shu's state pastoral order was sent to all counties in Jizhou, and the first people who went crazy were the prisoners.
Nearly half a million captives were overjoyed when they heard that they could exchange their labor for the status of free citizens. Except for the captured cavalry, the remaining prisoners began to form groups according to their respective abilities.
Among them, there are more than 20,000 people who can blacksmith, 30,000 carpenters, and 200,000 farmers. The remaining people who are strong but have no skills, about 150,000, choose the Ministry of Infrastructure, and 100,000 are determined to join the army.
Joined the field army.
As for the militia, it is even easier. The generous treatment directly set off a wave of registration among the people of Chang'an, because the treatment of the militia is only slightly worse than that of the main army, and it is completely comparable to the local regular army.
While these two things were being done, the entire Jizhou was also mobilizing troops and generals.
Pingyuan County, where Ji Linghu's fierce army is located, has added 30,000 militia groups. Counting the county soldiers, his overall strength reaches 60,000 people. With the addition of the 10,000 garrison troops in Leling County, he already has 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
Seventy thousand people.
Yan Liang's Polu Army and Wen Chou's Huwei Army quietly marched eastward to Hejian County.
Gao Lan's grassland cavalry went straight into the grassland and detoured around the Xianbei grassland.
Xu Rong led 20,000 Xiliang troops and 30,000 militiamen to the north of Zhongshan Kingdom and stationed in Fuping. Xun You also quietly rushed to Zhongshan Kingdom and was responsible for commanding the attack of the East Route Army.
Zhao Yunying quietly headed to Hejian with his army, marching slowly all the way, waiting for the fighter plane.
The Xianden Army also marched towards Zhangwu as quickly as possible under the leadership of Ju Yi.
Only Yuan Shu's central army was the slowest to set off, because he had to wait for the militia groups sent from various counties to Xindu to assemble before they could rush to the battlefield.
While Jizhou was secretly operating, Gongsun Zan was storming Yuyang.
As Liu Yu's first line of defense against Gongsun Zan, it is also the most important line of defense. The governor of Yuyang County, Yuyang, is known as the first fortified city under his command, and it is no less generous than Jixian County.
Gongsun Zan attacked fiercely for half a month, but suffered heavy casualties and still failed to capture it.
That night, a flying horse rode directly outside Gongsun Zan's camp.
"General, there is someone outside asking to see you, saying that they are coming from Jizhou."
The scout went into the camp to report.
"A person from Jizhou? Yuan Shu? He's missing."
"not see."
When he heard that he was from Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan became very angry.
The scouts were startled when they heard Gongsun Zan's words. You must know that Yuan Shu is not an ordinary person. Is it really okay to reject him so easily?
"Brother, although Yuan Shu has some troubles with us, these are extraordinary times. It would be bad if we offend him."
Gongsun Yue frowned and spoke to Gongsun Zan.
"Brother Yue, what I hate most in my life is that Yuan Shu is such a villain who breaks his promises and goes back on his word. Why do you want to see him?"
Gongsun Zan was still angry about what happened in Jizhou, so it was a minor matter for him to lose his troops and generals, but the important thing was to lose his face.
"I know that eldest brother hates evil and looks down on villains, but what's the harm in inviting his envoy to see him? Listen to what he wants to do?"
Gongsun Fan also opened his mouth to dissuade Gongsun Zan.
"My lord, it doesn't hurt to meet him. It's said that you don't hit the smiling person with your hand. Since Yuan Shu has sent someone here, let's hear what happened to him."
Yan Gang also spoke.
"In this case, let the swordsman and axe-man take his place, set up the big urn, and give him a show of strength first."
Gongsun Zan knew that he had a bad temper. Since all the generals tried to dissuade him, he could not disapprove of them.
"promise."
Two rows of swordsmen and axemen stood in front of the main tent door. At the same time, a huge iron pot was also propped up at the main tent door, rolling white waves in the raging flames.
This time the envoy was a tribesman brought by Xun Chen from the Xun family. His name was Xun Chi and his courtesy name was Zhongyou.
Xunchi has been clever and eloquent since he was a child, and his biggest characteristic is his great courage.
Facing the evil wolf Gongsun Zan, Xunchi was the most suitable candidate besides himself.
Xunchi, led by his scouts, walked through the huge camp and arrived outside the tent.
"Lord, the envoy from Jizhou has brought you."
"come in."
Gongsun Zan's cold words came from the big tent.
Kakakaka
The swordsmen and axes standing outside the door instantly dropped their swords and axes, and a passage made of swords and axes appeared in front of Xunchi.
"Messenger please."
Looking at the falling sword and axe, Xunchi smiled slightly. Before coming here, he had already foreseen that it would not be so smooth, but he did not expect that he would show off his power when he first arrived.
"good."
Xunchi walked towards the Daoxu Gate with his head held high and his chest held high.
The Daoxu Gate is very low. If you lower your head a little, you can easily pass through it, but Xunchi could not.
You must know that he now represents Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao, the lord of Jizhou. As the so-called leader humiliates his ministers and dies, he cannot lower his head even if he is attacked by swords and axes, because this bowing means that Yuan Shu bows his head.
Xunchi only felt the ax rubbing against his head, and the green hair fell directly to the ground along the edge of the ax, and even blood marks were drawn on it.
The Daoxu Gate was about fifty meters away, and all the way to the end Xunchi didn't even bend down or lower his head.
After leaving the last sword-axe door, Xunchi paused for a moment, because his hair had long become disheveled and his hair had long since disappeared.
"Tear."
Xunchi tore off a bunch of strips of cloth from the hem of her skirt, gently tied up her hair, and straightened her appearance.
He now represents Yuan Shu. He can be scarred, but he cannot be disheveled and make Gongsun Zan laugh at him.
After everything was settled, Xun Chi continued to move forward. At the entrance of the camp, he saw the large urn set up by Gongsun Zan. He gently walked around the urn and entered Gongsun Zan's camp.
"Xunchi of Jizhou, see Gongsun as the prefect."
Xun Chi gently cupped his fists and saluted Gongsun Zan.
Although Xunchi only tied his hair with a piece of cloth, and his head was covered with bloodstains, making him a little embarrassed, all the generals in the camp were shocked by his unyielding spirit.
The old god Gongsun Zan was sitting on the front seat, showing no intention of paying any attention to Xun Chi.
"Xunchi, right? May I ask what position you hold now?"
Yan Gang's eyes widened and he shouted at Xun Chi.
"I am a white servant and have never served in the government."
Xunchi frowned, then shook his head.
"If a mere white servant refuses to kneel down when he sees the prefect, we know that the law of the Han Dynasty punishes him with the death penalty of being cut in half."
