Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters prepare for war
Chapter 834 Preparing for War
Seeing Jushu turn around and leave, Yuan Shu couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Could it be that he really had a problem?
However, Yuan Shu had a son in the Three Kingdoms. It was probably not because of his health, but because the bids were not issued accurately, so he decided to go back quickly and continue to work.
In Yuzhou, Sun Jian returned with an army of 50,000. Yan Xiang, who had been on the defensive, also started a counterattack. Tian Feng did not hesitate after learning about the additional troops and directly gave up attacking Runan. Even Yingchuan also gave up and withdrew his army.
Liang Guo was stationed.
After Xu Rong returned to Youzhou with his troops, Xun Chen directly launched a new battle and invaded Liaodong County in one fell swoop. Gongsun Du failed to resist and withdrew his remaining troops to Lelang County. After repelling Gongsun Du, Xun Chen sent Zhu
Jun led 40,000 troops to the north to attack Xuantu County, while he led Xu Rong and 30,000 militiamen to the east to pursue Gongsun Du.
After Zhao Yun led his army to march eastward in Liangzhou, Xun You also started his own performance.
First, he used a trick to alienate the alliance of the four tribes, and then divided his troops to attack, annihilating them in one night, annihilating 40,000 enemies and capturing nearly 70,000 prisoners. Then he marched straight in and directly captured the entire Hanyang County.
Then he cooperated with Gao Lan of Beidi County to attack from the north and south, and directly invaded Anding County, beheading 30,000 people and capturing 60,000 prisoners.
At this point, the Qiangdi tribe in Liangzhou has basically been beaten to pieces, and it is only a matter of time before it is pacified.
As the weather gets colder and colder, the war within the Han Dynasty has basically entered a calm period. Everyone is licking their wounds, especially Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, who are frantically expanding their troops to make up for the losses in the original war.
Just when winter came, good news finally came from Yuan Shu. Cai Wenji, Xiao Qiao and Linglong all received pregnancy news at the same time.
After receiving this news, the letters were filled with excitement. Although I didn’t know whether the three women were pregnant with a boy or a girl, it was always a good sign. Yuan Shu’s future would be his greatest support for the Jizhou Army. For a time, counselors and generals stationed in various places sent messages to Jizhou.
Went to give gifts.
Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he got the news. He was finally going to have a wife, he was finally going to get rid of Ju Shou and Yuan Ji's verbosity, and he was finally taking root in the Eastern Han Dynasty and truly becoming a man of this era.
Jushu was responsible for arranging the distribution of winter clothes and supplies in various places. As Yuan Shu said, there was always a good situation for moths to harm the Jizhou army. Dozens of officials, big and small, were uprooted, and hundreds of perpetrators were killed. These people were killed.
After that, military discipline became clear.
At the beginning of spring, the good news finally came. With the participation of Zhao Yun, Liangzhou was finally restored to peace. The Qiangdi tribe was decimated. Except for the tribe that had just surrendered, all other tribes were wiped out.
Hundreds of thousands of Qiang and Di prisoners were escorted by the army to Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou and other places. At this point, the Qiang and Di tribe that had troubled the Han Dynasty for a long time was ended under Yuan Shu.
After taking Liangzhou, Xun You did not let the army return. Instead, he ordered the army to station in Jincheng County to wait for the battle between Sizhou and Yongzhou that would begin next year.
Time passes day by day, and it is already the season when spring flowers bloom and everything revives. Yuan Shu, who has been accompanying him every day for these three big-bellied heroes, does not dare to make any mistakes.
During this period of time, she was devoted to doting on Da Qiao. She also discovered signs of pregnancy during the Chinese New Year. Either not, or four times, who could bear four times the happiness.
"My lord, we have enough soldiers and supplies, and we have prepared food and grass. Now that the war in Liangzhou is over, it is time to send troops to capture Sizhou and Yongzhou."
Jushou looked at Yuan Shu and directly clasped his fists and suggested to Yuan Shu that the battle between Sizhou and Yongzhou could start long ago.
"Well, it's time. Li Jue, Guo Si and others threw the Han Emperor out and caused me such heavy losses in Yangzhou and Jingzhou. It's time to capture them.
Xun You was ordered to pastor in Liangzhou, and Gao Lan, Yan Xing, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Ju Yi and others were placed under his control.
Ma Teng and Han Sui were ordered to return to Jizhou to report on their duties.
Gao Lan was ordered to reorganize the Weilu army, and the soldiers could be supplemented first from the Xiliang cavalry.
Ju Yizhi was ordered to expand the army to 20,000 people first, and the soldiers would be first deployed from the Xiliang army.
Ordered the Xihe cavalry to be expanded to 20,000, with additional troops from Bingzhou.
General Yan Xingxing was ordered to form a suppressing army with 20,000 cavalry. The soldiers would be first deployed from the Xiliang cavalry.
In addition, the Zhenxi Army was formed, with a tentative number of 30,000 troops and horses, and Xun You as the general to guard Liangzhou.
Hao Zhao was ordered to form a Bingzhou cavalry, with a strength of 20,000, and to supplement them on the spot in Bingzhou.
Zhao Yunzhiying was ordered to raise the army and allocate 10,000 cavalry to Commander Gao Lan. In terms of replenishing troops and horses, priority was given to the Xiliang cavalry army.
At the same time, he was conferred the title of Commander-in-Chief of the West Route Army. Under his jurisdiction were Zhang Liao's only bandit army, Xianbei's servant army, Liang Xing, and others. He commanded 120,000 troops and stationed them in Jincheng County.
Ma Chao was ordered to repair General Xuanwei and form the Xuanwei Army, with a strength of 20,000, with priority given to Bingzhou for replenishment.
Yan Liangzhi was ordered to expand the Polu Army to 30,000 men, with priority given to the Jizhou Militia Group for reinforcement.
Xianbei was ordered to form an army of 10,000 servants, and the Xiongnu was ordered to form an army of 10,000 servants. They would follow the army and obey orders.
Order the remaining ministries to replenish troops and horses, giving priority to replenishing troops from the local area. If there are any difficulties, report them to Jizhou, who will ask you to make unified deployment.
Tian Feng is ordered to serve as the military advisor and be on standby in Yanzhou. When I go over for my turn and all the troops are ready, it will be time for us to send troops to Sizhou."
Hearing Ju Shou's words, Yuan Shu also nodded. To be honest, what Han Emperor threw out this time really disrupted his plan. It was really time to deal with them now, and he also announced in one breath what he had been brewing in his heart.
A long-term military expansion and preparation strategy.
This time, the main ones involved are the generals from Xiliang. After all, in the Battle of Xiliang, although the various tribes surrendered, their forces were scattered and not subordinate to each other. Now that Liangzhou has been decided, those Xiliang troops will be dispersed and reorganized into their own.
It was imperative for his subordinates to act, and he would not allow Xiliang to remain the same after he conquered it.
In the process of conquering Liangzhou, Yan Xing performed most outstandingly and had the highest loyalty. Yuan Shu was also willing to let him lead the army alone and serve as a general to ensure the safety of Liangzhou.
"Jushou receives the order."
Telegrams were sent from Jizhou to Tian Feng and Xun You. After receiving the military order, Liangzhou was the first to start preparations.
Gao Lan used the 10,000 Yingyang Army as the backbone and transferred 20,000 elite cavalry from Xiliang's surrendered generals to form a new Weilu Army.
Yan Xing also used Han Sui's cavalry as the basis and absorbed the subordinates of the eight generals of Xiliang and the surrendered Qiang tribe cavalry to form a complete army to suppress the captives.
Ju Yi's first advance army was originally no more than 10,000 people. This time, it finally got Yuan Shu's permission and began to expand into a regular army of 20,000 people. Even crossbows belonging to them were continuously transported from Jizhou to Liangzhou.
Xun You used the 15,000 militia as the foundation and absorbed 15,000 Xiliang surrender troops to form the Western Suppressing Army.
After receiving the order, Bingzhou began to recruit troops again. First, they sent 13,000 cavalry into Liangzhou to fill up the Xihe Cavalry. Then they sent nearly 10,000 people to Jizhou to help Ma Chao form the Xuanwei Army. Finally, they expanded the army by 20,000 to form the Bingzhou Cavalry.
, under the command of Hao Zhao.
Yan Liang's replenishment was very easy. The elite Jizhou militia was no worse than the regular armies of other princes, and they could easily make up the 30,000 men.
At the same time, Tian Feng left 50,000 militiamen to guard the Liang Kingdom to guard against possible attacks by Yuan Shao. He led an army of 40,000 people back to Yanzhou to wait for Yuan Shu's arrival.
Other places also recruit troops to supplement their own losses, and the main places for recruiting troops are Yangzhou and Jingzhou.
For a time, the surrendered soldiers from Yangzhou and Jingzhou were added to the Huwei Army, the Trap Army, the Tiger Army, and the Hengye Army. The losses of the armies in the original battle also began to be made up.
Although these new troops cannot be considered elites now, in time they will definitely become a qualified Jizhou elite army.
"Lord, when will the Guards be able to expand its troops?"
Now the main force under Yuan Shu's command has become an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people. Only Dian Wei's guard still has a strength of 10,000 people, so he has to bite the bullet and ask Yuan Shu for an organization.
"Haha, my General Wei has also come to ask for officers and staff."
