After Hu Yanshuo left, the two places in Youzhou and Bingzhou also entered a busy autumn harvest season. Due to the severe drought this year, this month became particularly important. Fortunately, the timely heavy rain, although the harvest in Youzhou this year does not need to be in previous years, the decline is still within the acceptable range of Liu Yu.

Youzhou's efficiency is reflected in the improvement of grassroots organizations in various counties and counties, and the cooperation between the upper and lower departments. Once it is fully operational, it really makes Liu Yu, the lord, an idle person! This is exactly the administrative structure he imagined; although Bingzhou is barren and has a weak foundation, this has formed an advantage in grassroots construction. After the efforts of three political talents, Shan Tianji and Er Zhang, the foundation has been completed. The large influx of people with a large amount of drought, bringing heavy burdens to the prefecture, and also making up for the labor lost in Bingzhou due to the war. Although Youzhou is still needed to allocate this year, Shan Tianji will be self-sufficient in his heart next year.[]

With the addition of Zhang Liao's leadership, the Bingzhou garrison had reached more than 40,000 troops. The direction they needed to be prepared for was Li Jue and Guo Si's Sili. At this point, the troops were sufficient. With the progress of the conscription work in Youzhou, there were nearly 100,000 troops. With the surplus grain in his hands, Liu Yu's vision began to move again. After inquiring in detail about the opinions of Guan Fei and Jian Yong, Liu Yu returned to Guan Fei with Tian Yu, and only 10,000 soldiers were left in Liaodong. Last time, Guan Fei wiped out Goguryeo and completely destroyed their military power. It would be fine to have Tian Yu in charge.

In November of the second year of Xingping, General Guan Fei of Pingdong led 20,000 Yanyun Camp soldiers to return to Peiping. Because this time it was the purpose of opening the border and splitting the land, the emperor personally went out to greet him and boasted about his military achievements. After the ceremony, Guan Fei followed Liu Yu and went straight to the governor's mansion of Youzhou, Beiping.

"Zhicai, after Changfeng returns to the army this time, how much troops can I use in the Chang'an direction?" Liu Yu's main generals and several military advisors were already in the hall. Although the use of troops may be about to begin spring, it takes time to mobilize people and arrange food and grass.

"Lord, if you follow Wenhe's plan to attack Sili, then General Guan's Yanyun Camp, Xu Huang and Zhang and Zhang Liao's three guards, and General Huaxiong's Western Liang cavalry, I can dispatch an army of 70,000. If Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have any movement after the beginning of spring, it can be increased. Li Jue and Guo Si of Chang'an are not soldiers, and our army will not be out, and it will be thunderous as soon as it goes out!" Xi Zhicai said that the three of them are also planning to seize Sili in the past few days.

"What Zhicai said is so great, and when he comes out, he will be thunderous. Although Li and Guo are not afraid, they are as dangerous as Hangu and Chang'an, and the strength of the troops must be more and more! What is the situation in Sili now?" Attacking Chang'an was one of Jia Xu's three-step plans at that time. Guo Jia, as the head of Longtian, had never relaxed the collection of information in the Sili area.

"According to the last letter from Chang'an, Yang Feng led 10,000 troops in Luoyang, Zhang Ji's 20,000 troops in Hulao Pass, and Zhang Xiu's 8,000 soldiers guarded by Hangu Pass. Li and Guo still had 30,000 troops in Chang'an, 20,000 of which were cavalry. The lord just said it was reasonable, and the more troops used for Sili were indeed better. I thought I could recruit 70,000 soldiers in Youzhou this year, but only half of them were recruited due to natural disasters. We discuss the military situation of Sili, which requires at least 100,000 troops!" Guo Jia made a good plan, but he was not unaware of calmness. The final decisive factor of the war was still strength.

"Li Guo and his two men are under 70,000 troops, plus a few dangerous places, so they should not be underestimated. The 100,000 troops... What is the movement of Yuan, Shao, and Cao Cao?" Liu Yu asked after pondering for a moment.

"On the first day of the Chinese New Year, the two people fought with Yuan Shu in Qingzhou, and both were injured, but they also received the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. The drought this year also had a great impact on them. It is difficult to use weapons within half a year. However, military affairs cannot be speculated, and they still need to be considered thoroughly." Guo Jia said seriously.

"Lord, when he was the master of the lord, he went straight to Sili after going to Bingzhou to occupy the natural danger of Hulao to cut off Cao Mengde's way to march into Sili. However, he was far-sighted and intelligent people on the left and right. They may not be unaware of our strategy. Although the troops were insufficient due to natural disasters, the attack on Sili was still on the string, and it would change later." Jia Xu said.

"Wenhe's words are deeply loved by me. Wenlong still has 40,000 troops in his hands. Even if Yuan Shao suddenly stumbles, I am not afraid of it. The one who is worried is Cao Cao. If our army attacks Sili, he will not sit idly by his own eyes. If one is not careful, he will be a few enemies!" Liu Yu said, as Jia Xu's plan is the best strategy, but Cao Mengde will ignore it? Even if he and Li Guo are enemies, there are only benefits in the chaos. Even if the revenge of killing his father can be put aside, the transformation of allies and enemies will change with the situation. This time, it is not as good as going to Bingzhou. You need to be very cautious.

"So, if our army is sent to the Sili, its first priority is to conquer the Hulao. As long as this is in hand, it will be fine even if it cannot be stopped for a while!" Jia Xu said.

"Hulao Pass! When the princes attacked Dong, I fought with Lu Fengxian at the foot of the pass. This pass was built on the mountain. The city was high and the ditches were deep, which was indeed a powerful pass in the world. The day it was seized because Dong Zhuo used Li Ru's legacy strategy and obtained it without fighting. Now the pass was 20,000 defenders, and Zhang Ji was also quite frustrated. If it was a strong attack... Liu Yu said that he was hesitant here. The way of military strategists was to attack the city at the bottom.

"Jiazhi's lord is concerned that the military strategy is above the top of the army and the plan to attack the city, and the current situation can be achieved. Capturing Hulao is the best strategy. Although Hulao is a hero, the lord has the great righteousness of the emperor and has elite troops under his command. He has great confidence in attacking and taking it. If he goes to Hulao, Yang Feng in Luoyang will surrender or retreat and will not dare to attack our army's back. Even if there is any loss, it will be beneficial to the overall situation." Guo Jia saw Liu Yu's expression, and then he knew that the military strategy is military strategy, and the beauty of using it lies in one's heart.

"Even if you use a large number of people, you must go to the Huzhu first, otherwise it may be difficult to successfully attack Sili." Jia Xu said coldly. Such a strong attack will inevitably suffer heavy losses, but it is worth it if it is for the overall situation.

"General Gao, if we are the general in our army, we have known these people under the tent of the Marquis Wen. If we are the general, how much does it take to capture Hulao?" Several military advisors consider the overall strategic situation, and Liu Yu also knew the meaning. Now what he has to do is to do is actually operate. Siege Hulao is not just empty words, it will definitely be a sea of ​​corpses and blood, extremely tragic. If the losses can be minimized, it is the best strategy. Gao Shun's attack can make a name for the world, so he asked about it.

Gao Shun was silent when he heard this, frowned, and said that he could encounter this world's great barrier. According to what he had just discussed, the key to tackling the key points is the overall focus. Now that the lord personally inquired, it shows that he should consider his importance to him. Of course, he should carefully consider it. When everyone looked at his expression, he knew his intentions and did not disturb him. For a moment, the hall was silent.

After a moment, Gao Shun showed a firm look on his face. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Shun dare not boast about his ability in front of the lord's military advisor, but the lord in front of him is an important military matter, so he must do his best; if the lord gives all the fourth battalion and the personal guard camp, plus 30,000 elite infantrymen, with these 60,000 troops led by Shun, regardless of losses, he will be placed in the Huzhu within ten days! But the enemy on the side still needs to be equipped with another force to protect it." Gao Shun said in the end, his tone was extremely firm. Since it was the lord's important matter, he decided to win the pass for him after comprehensive consideration.

"What a magnificent saying! Jing Fang is worthy of the talent of a good general. If so, according to the general's words, Liu will be responsible for the dispatch of the troops. Gong Mingjunyi's second battalion of Longxiang Huwei is also an elite force in our army. At that time, he will be temporarily transferred to the general's command. Everything will be arranged by Jing Fang." Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this and said with emotion.

"Don't worry, lord, Shun will win the tiger prison for lord even if he swears to die! I am willing to make a military order before the case with lord." Gao Shun stood up and knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Yu, saying loudly, with gratitude in his words. He surrendered to the general, Xu Huang and Zhang He are Liu Yu's last general. Now that lord can say this, it shows his trust in himself. A scholar who dies as a confidant. As a general, who doesn't want to create a fame and fortune?

"Jing Fang has always been calm and has certainty since he has such words. It seems that the mobilization of troops still needs to be arranged. Since the lord wants General Gao to take on this task, the troops must be mobilized earlier. It will be a while until the beginning of spring, and it will be beneficial for General Gao to rule it." Xi Zhicai immediately spoke.

"Jing Fang sat down, what Zhi Cai said was my heart. The mobilization matter was immediately carried out. I inform Tianji to find a secret enemy in Bingzhou to let General Gao station troops. I will personally write to General Lu, Xu and Zhang to explain this matter in detail. Jing Fang, this is Liu's sword, and now he will be in charge of military law with Jing Fang! After going to Bingzhou, you must practice well. If anyone is not convinced, use this sword to kill him!" Liu Yu, a famous man, sent his sword to Gao Shun. This is not a rash move. The way to attack the city, if you practice more, you can reduce casualties. Now there are good generals, and he should use it. But he also needs to consider that Gao Shun is new, and the soldiers he led this time have been fought with him for a long time. If he is not like this, he may not be able to suppress them.

When Gao Shun took the sword, his hands trembled slightly, and the tiger's eyes were tears. He no longer spoke. The lord was so kind that if he could not conquer the tiger prison, he would never survive!

"Once our army attacks Hulao, Li and Guo will definitely send troops, but let Liu personally lead the army to attack Hulao to ensure the smooth progress of the attack on Hulao." Liu Yu said.

"Lord, Ma Teng Han Sui and others in Xiliang have always been incompatible with Li Guo. If they can go and talk about it and promise fame and fortune, they can be attacked on both sides. At that time, the two will not be able to take full care of it. The lord can attack Hulao with all his strength. Jia is willing to go to Xiliang and persuade the two to send troops for the lord. It is best to get the emperor's imperial edict and give Ma Shoucheng a more title!" Guo Jia said, this was also the case that the three of them had discussed for a long time. If Ma could free up their troops, they would be more help. According to the idea at that time, even if Chang'an was willing to go with him, Ma Teng was brave, but he was not a person who fought for the world.

"I just rely on filial piety, but I must be accompanied by Mr. Hua Tuo. Long Si and Long Qi must also follow you. Ma Quan has a strong army. It is important to filial piety and care about your health!" Liu Yu thought for a long time and said, "What he was most worried about when he was traveling through mountains and rivers."

"Thank you for your kindness. Since you have been with your lord, Jia has been practicing martial arts every day. Now he is strong and healthy. Don't worry, lord." Although Guo Jia was joking, he was also moved.

"Arranging what we are discussing today is immediately. Everyone still needs to keep the secret in mind. If there is any leakage, Liu will never show mercy. Changfeng and the three military advisors will stay and disperse!" Liu Yu said seriously.
