Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Since Ma Teng and Han Sui have already retired from their respective troops, they will have no worries this year.

The entire Luoyang County, under the coordination of Xi Zhicai, was fully engaged in the autumn harvest. Acres of wheat and grain were harvested, and the people's homes were full of grain and smiles.

The tax revenue of Luoyang County is also full of money. The granary, which had already bottomed out, was suddenly sufficient, and there was too much grain, so we had to build a few more granaries.

It was a sunny day.

Outside Xiangping, the wheat fields have been harvested. Under the mountain city of Xiangping City, the corpse has been collected and the blood stains have been washed away.

Except for a few traces, there are not many traces of war on this newly built wall.

Outside the North City Gate, Liu Pixiang sent Zhao Yun and Xiahoulan. To the north of the city gate are the soldiers and horses under the command of Zhao Yun. In the battle of Xiangping, they lost a lot of people, and there were about 2,000 left.

But Zhao Yun's pension is very powerful, and the morale of the people is very high.

Zhao Yun got Zhang Xiu's order and prepared to go to Shangtai City.

"Zhao Sima had a good trip. Liu Bi bowed to Zhao Yun with gratitude. If it weren't for Zhao Yun's help, Xiangping would have fought a battle, and he might not be able to hold it.

"Thank you, County Lieutenant Liu. Zhao Yun thanked him, then turned over and said to Liu Bi: "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end." County Lieutenant Liu doesn't have to send it anymore.

After that, Zhao Yun drove the war horse and commanded the headquarters with Xiahou Lan and went to the north.

"General Zhao Sima Zhen is also. The general ordered him to go to Shangtai, and he must be entrusted with a heavy task. Liu Pi stood with his sword in his hand, watching Zhao Yun and his men leave.

He guessed that Zhang Xiu would let Zhao Yun guard Shangqi. And before that, Xiangping was the front line. Shangtai and Xiangping are not far away, and they can support each other. Shangtai is on the front line, and the city is taller, bigger and stronger.

Zhao Yun is a general again.

If Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked again, Zhao Yun could share a lot of military pressure on him.

Thinking of this, Liu Bi smiled knowingly. said: "The general is a true god, others are getting weaker and weaker the more they fight, but the general is getting stronger and stronger."

Liu Bi was in a good mood, and he couldn't help but return to the habit of yellow scarves. swayed and swayed, and walked sideways like a king.

...........................

Shangtai City.

Because of the small population, there is little farmland developed outside the city. Things in the city are pitiful. Jia Xu has already selected a county order, let the county order manage the city by itself, and in terms of government affairs, it can run on its own.

Now there is a lack of a general to guard the important city.

At present, the generals in the city include Dian Wei, Gongdu, and Hu Che'er.

For these people, Zhang Xiu also has arrangements.

On the morning of this day, Zhang Xiu was in the study of the original Li Dao's mansion and met with Gongdu.

Li Dao's heirs and fellow clansmen have been killed by Zhang Xiu, and many people have died in this mansion, but Zhang Xiu is now not alarmed, and he can sleep peacefully in the pile of dead people, and he doesn't mind at all.

Inside the study. Zhang Xiu sat cross-legged in good spirits, he preferred this posture, although kneeling and sitting looked good, it was easy to be sore.

"Lieutenant of the county. I have ordered Zhao Yun to go north and take over Shangqi City. There are enough troops here. And you lead your troops back to select Chengyi to surrender and restore your troops. Also, this is my handwritten letter to Pound, and you can bring it back to him.

Zhang Xiu picked up a rolled white cloth from the desk, raised his hand, and signaled to Gongdudao.

Gongdu, who was still sick, naturally came up very intimately, carefully picked up the white cloth, bowed down, and turned around and walked out.

The capital went to prepare the men and horses and returned to Linwei City. Zhang Xiu took out a map and looked at the terrain.

There are four cities in a county of Luoyang, Xiangping, Qingshui, Luoyang, and Linwei. Xiangping is in the north, Linwei is second, and the other two cities, the geographical location is not important.

It's just that when Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops pressed the border, they divided their troops to attack, so he sent Wang Shi and Zhang Long to each lead 3,000 troops to defend the city.

Now that Shangtai City is already in hand, the defensive pressure of Luoyang County will be much less. However, Zhang Xiu's vision is not Luoyang County? Is it Liangzhou?

Now that he has won the attack and accepted the surrendered troops, he is naturally expanding his troops.

He not only restored the total capital to 5,000 troops, but also wrote a letter asking Pang De, the commander of the capital of Luoyang, to expand his strength to 10,000 and increase the cavalry part as appropriate.

In Liangzhou, this is the benefit, and there is no pressure to expand the cavalry. Zhang Xiu has gone through battles and grabbed a lot of good horses, and almost everyone in Liangzhou can ride a horse.

In this way, the number of troops under the system of Luoyang County is already very large.

Captain Pang Dema's infantry army of 10,000 people was mobilized in the middle of the Linwei residence.

The lieutenants of Linwei County had a total of 5,000 infantry troops.

The lieutenant of Qingshui County, the lieutenant of Luoyang County, Wang Shi and Zhang Long each had 3,000 soldiers and horses.

Liu Pi, the lieutenant of Xiangping County, and Zhang Xiu also asked him to expand his army to 5,000 people.

In this way, there are 26,000 county soldiers under the system of Luoyang County. The leading general is Pang De, and the auxiliary wings are Liu Pi, Gongdu, Wang Shi, and Zhang Long.

The strength of the Qiang Guard Captain Department has Hu Che'er as the Qiang Protector Sima, and 15,000 cavalry.

In this way, under his two official positions, the number of troops already has 41,000.

Not to mention that Zhao Yun will go north, and he will accept Li Wei's surrender, which will be more than 50,000 people by then.

At first glance. That's a lot of troops. He Zhang Xiu suddenly became one of the few generals in the world with heavy troops, and he could keep pace with Dong Zhuo.

But judging from this reference, this force can only be regarded as a barely strong force.

Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou, together with miscellaneous traitors such as Zhang Heng and Hou Xuan, had more than 200,000 soldiers and horses?

"It's coming, it's coming. Next year will be Dong Zhuo's natal year. Shoot the first bird, let Dong Zhuo start the troubled times. When the time comes, he can take his place. Then I can coerce the Son of Heaven to command the world.

Zhang Xiu looked at the map and smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the calculation in his heart was extremely clear, that is, follow Dong Zhuogan, and then replace him.

Zhang Xiu has nothing to do when he is idle, he is in a good mood, and he doesn't want to practice martial arts. So he stretched, yawned, and went to rest in a hut behind the study.

He didn't sleep long before he was woken up by Dian Wei coming in.

"General. Zhao Sima came. Dian Wei stood in front of the bed and bowed.

"Hmm. Zhang Xiu was a little angry when she got up, she didn't react for a while, and after a while, she hummed, lifted the quilt and stood up.

That's what it's called getting it, and that's it. If Zhao Yun didn't get it, Zhang Xiu would be naked and hurriedly went to see Zhao Yun.

However, Zhang Xiu didn't say anything about Zhao Yun's care. The reward of gold and silver is unambiguous. The attitude has always been Corporal Lixian.

After coming to the study in front, Zhang Xiu saw Zhao Yun sitting in a precarious position.

"General. Zhao Yun clasped his hands into fists and saluted meticulously.

"Zilong. Zhang Xiu also changed kindly. Immediately, he didn't talk about the fortifications immediately, but asked for warmth, and then asked Zhao Yun about the experience of guarding Xiangping, and finally said. "Zilong works hard", that's it.

Zhang Xiu had a faint smile on his face and said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong." For example, today Shuijun is in the hands of Ma Teng, and the imperial court does not set up a county guard. I plan to ask the imperial court for a title with the merits of the crusade against Cheng Yi. Ordered you to be the captain of Tianshui, gather Li Dao to ride on foot, and gather 10,000 people. The civil and military power of Shangtai City will be in your hands.

Speaking of this, the smile on Zhang Xiu's face was even bigger, and he said: "If Zilong doesn't like to govern the people, it doesn't matter. I have already chosen the county order, and there are few people inside and outside the city, so there will be no chaos. "

Thank you, General, for cultivating. Zhao Yun didn't have any surprise, and saluted calmly.

What kind of person is Zhang Xiu? Praise inside and outside, corporal Lixian, and a very powerful person who cares for his subordinates.

Zhao Yun is by no means arrogant. However, it is advisable to crusade against old thieves, which is a genuine feat. With Zhang Xiu's character, how could he not be rewarded

? Moreover, Zhang Xiu's transfer of him to

Shangtai was not a joke? Now that he is a captain of Tianshui and leads 10,000 troops to guard Shangtai City, it is not surprising.

There's one thing, though. Zhang Xiu's official position is to protect the Qiang school captain and the county guard of Luoyang. The generals under his command are all subordinates of these two official positions.

Hu Che'er is the deputy general of Huqiang Sima and Huqiang Lieutenant.

Pang De is the governor of Luoyang County, and Liu Pi, Gongdu, Wang Shi, and Zhang Long are all county lieutenants. If he became the captain of Tianshui, he would automatically break away from Zhang Xiu's subordinates.

But he was deeply favored by Zhang Xiu and would never betray Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu has a life, and he will not give up.

Zhang Xiu is not a roundworm in Zhao Yun's stomach, of course he doesn't know what Zhao Yun thinks. He glanced up at Zhao Yun and said with a smile: "Although Zilong has worked hard all the way. But Ma Teng and Han Sui were on the side of the couch. We can't slack off, so we ask Zilong to immediately lead the people of the headquarters into the city and incorporate Li Wei's old department.

"When you are safe, I will lead my troops out of Shangqi and return to Linwei City. "

No. Zhao Yun was not ambiguous, and immediately bowed down and promised. After leaving the city, he led Xiahoulan and other soldiers and horses into the city and began to incorporate Li Wei's old department.

These surrenders have all been sorted out. With the abilities of Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan, plus the two or three thousand people in Zhao Yun's headquarters, it is naturally appropriate to integrate them.

In just ten days, Zhao Yun has already been integrated. In another February or March, defending the city will not be a problem. In another half a year, it's okay to go out of the city and fight.

And Ma Teng and Han Sui have gone through this toss, if nothing else, they will at least wait for next autumn harvest before they will move their troops. Zhao Yun has time to refine his soldiers and horses.

It was a sunny morning.

In front of the South City Gate. Zhang Xiu ordered Hu Che'er to prepare 15,000 cavalry and return to Linwei City together.

In front of the city gate, Zhao Yun led Xiahoulan and the officials in the city to see Zhang Xiu off.

"General, take care. Zhao Yun bowed and saluted.

"Zilong also take care. Zhang Xiu had nothing to explain to a steady general like Zhao Yun, so he hugged his fists and saluted, then turned over and got on his horse with Dian Wei, beckoned the cavalry together, rolled up the dust, and went to Linwei City in the south.

Zhao Yun stopped and stood until Zhang Xiu's men and horses had become a black spot, and then disappeared in the south, and then led people back to train the soldiers and horses.
