Guo Jia slowly returned to his seat, speaking in a low and firm voice to his lord:

"My lord, now our vast grasslands in the north have been largely unified, and the deployment of the six legions is centered on Bingzhou and Yongzhou.

The territory of Yongzhou must be guarded by two powerful troops. On the one hand, this power can prevent Yuan Shao from acting rashly; on the other hand, it can also deter Ma Teng and the restless Qiang tribes to ensure the peace of our territory.

As for the northern grasslands, a strong army is also needed to garrison them. The grassland people are naturally fierce and brave. Once something happens, only an iron fist can tame them.

Bingzhou is our place of origin. Now the local garrison alone is enough to ensure the stability of the area."

Liu Yao nodded slightly, his tone calm and decisive.

"The Fourth Legion will still be held by Le Jin and Li Si. Their might is enough to scare the Qiang people and Ma Teng and make them dare not act rashly."

"The Fifth Legion will be led by Zhang He and Gao Lan to keep alert at all times. Once Yuan Shao makes any unusual moves, it will be time for them to strike with thunder."

"In addition, I want to dispatch two fierce generals, Xu Huang and Xu Chu, from the Third Legion to go north together and garrison the vast grassland to ensure the peace of the border."

Tian Feng nodded slightly when he heard this, with a flash of approval in his eyes:

"With this layout, we still have the elite of the First, Second, and Sixth Legions in our hands. As for the land of Zhuo County, we only need to send one legion there, and the remaining troops under Liu Yu only need to be assisted by the other two armies. The power of the army will surely wipe it out in one fell swoop and eradicate the hidden dangers. "

Guo Jia gently stroked his chin, his eyes flashing with wisdom, and slowly said:

"The Second Legion is the best choice to guard Zhuo County. On the other hand, the First and Sixth Legions are both famous for their bravery. As for the Second Legion, there are two tiger generals, Huang Zhong and Gao Shun, and the unstoppable trap camp under Gao Shun alone is enough to make the Jizhou Army anxious and headache. "

"As for the generals under Liu Yu, most of them are just drunkards with no combat power. There will be no shortage of surrenders. However..."

He paused slightly and turned his eyes to Liu Yao, who understood and nodded gently.

"For this group of people..."

Liu Yao's tone revealed a hint of determination.

"I will arrange for the people of Luowang to deal with them secretly. After all, if they hadn't interfered, Gongsun Zan might not have ended up like this. Gongsun Xu, what do you think?"

Gongsun Xu sat side by side with Tian Kai, his face flushed, his eyes flashing with uncontrollable anger.

"Brother! These thieves have my blood on their hands. I wish I could take their heads with my own hands right now!" Gongsun Xu gritted his teeth, and every word was like a knife.

Tian Kai was also emotional. He nodded heavily when he heard the words, as if he was also expressing his inner indignation and unwillingness in this way.

Seeing this, Guo Jia hurriedly stood up, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone.

"Absolutely not! If these people choose to surrender, as a general of the Bingzhou Army, privately executing the surrendered officials will undoubtedly cause immeasurable damage to the reputation of the lord!"

Guo Jia looked at Gongsun Xu with a sharp gaze, and his tone was full of earnestness.

"General Gongsun, for the sake of the overall situation, it is better to let Luowang take action secretly and create some false illusions of bandit robbery or other accidents."

"Don't worry, my dear brother, there is no way these people will survive! My Bingzhou Iron Cavalry vows to nip the crisis in the bud!" Seeing this, Liu Yao hurried forward and gently pressed Gongsun Xu's shoulder, his eyes full of admonition, indicating that he needs to stay calm.

Tian Kai hurriedly pulled Gongsun Xu's shoulder, indicating that he must stay calm.

"Everything depends on my brother's plan." Gongsun Xu whispered, revealing his absolute trust in his brother.

"Okay!" Liu Yao's eyes were like torches, and his tone was full of determination, "Ziyun, you wait patiently, when the time is right, I will personally tie Yuan Shao to you and let you deal with it!"

Liu Yao slowly returned to his seat, his voice like a bell, resounding through the hall.

"Pass my order! The First and Sixth Legions will be ready to go at dawn tomorrow!"

"If the counties in Youzhou are willing to surrender, I will forgive the past and promise peace."

"The heavy infantry brought by Guo Jia will be divided into two halves and temporarily handed over to the First and Sixth Legions."

"The First Army will focus on attacking Dai County. After taking Dai County, we will send troops to Guangyang and bring all its surroundings into our sphere of influence!"

"The Sixth Legion will go straight to Youbeiping and Liaoxi!"

"Gongsun Xu and Tian Kai! I need the two of you to come forward and persuade the soldiers under Gongsun Zan to join our army."

"Ziyun, you are my brother's son, they will definitely obey your orders!"

"I will also write a letter to my father-in-law immediately. This year, the scholars of Bingzhou AcademyThe students are about to graduate, and we urgently need a group of talented young people who can take on the responsibility of local governance. "

"Also issue a conscription order and a recruitment order!"

"Set up a ring! Dian Wei will guard the ring in person! As long as you can survive fifty moves in his hands, you will be rewarded with 100 taels! Survive a hundred moves! I will reward you with 1,000 taels!"

"In addition, order all corps to start conscription! The military supervisors of Zhongsi Academy will also graduate soon! Start conscription according to the previously set ratio!"

"Don't be stingy with money and food! The money we have accumulated now will not be spent in the next life!"

"Yes!"

Guo Jia gently counted the time, his eyes flashing with a glimmer of planning.

"My lord, if our army's journey is unimpeded and smooth, I think that in just one year, the entire Youzhou will fall firmly into our hands! ”

“When officials at all levels perform their duties, the economy of Youzhou will naturally grow like bamboo shoots in spring, rising steadily and rejuvenating.”

However, he changed the subject and frowned slightly, “As for Liaodong, the situation is a little more complicated.”

“Gongsun Du himself is not very powerful, but the land he controls is remote and isolated, with steep mountains and rivers and winding roads. If he forcibly leads an expedition, I am afraid that the cost will be an astronomical figure that is difficult to estimate, so people have to be cautious. "

Liu Yao nodded slightly, with a glimmer of recognition in his eyes.

Looking back on the past, whether it was Yuan Shao, who had been a minister for four generations, or Cao Cao, who was wise and prudent, after incorporating Youzhou into their territory, they all chose to appease Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang with the strategy of appeasement, striving for the stability of the border.

Until later, Liaodong was conquered under Sima Yi's iron fist, and this land finally completely surrendered to the embrace of the Central Plains.

But! When Sima Yi recovered Liaodong, he quietly planted a root of evil. When Sima Yi recovered Liaodong, he accidentally indulged in collusion with the northern nomadic peoples. Those foreign cavalrymen were like entering an unmanned land, trampling on them wantonly, and the people were in mourning in the shadow of swords and swords.

It also laid an indelible foreshadowing for the catastrophe of the Five Barbarians' Rebellion in the future.
