Chapter IV Deployment

After the North Gate military exercise and the killing of Wang Kuang, Hanoi gradually returned to peace. Ye Zhao, under the repeated invitation of a group of gentry in Hanoi, stated that the court temporarily took over the position of prefect of Hanoi. Liu Xie was reluctant to do so, but what if he was reluctant? Now the person who was the real ruler of the court is Dong Zhuo, and Ye Zhao's army is stationed in Hanoi. It would be useless if anyone sent to Hanoi without Ye Zhao's nod.

As for the direction of Jizhou, there was no large-scale mobilization of troops, but Han Fu had more troops at the junction of Jizhou and Hanoi. It can be seen that Han Fu did not want to have a conflict with Ye Zhao. Ye Zhao spent most of his time with his beloved son except for the military camp every day.

When I first became a father, the feeling of blood connection was something others could not understand.

Few people will find that Ye Zhao's troops stationed in Hanoi are decreasing little by little, and the military generals around him are also missing a few during this period.

"Why haven't you seen Mr. Xi Zhicai recently? The two generals Guan Hai and Xiahou Lan have disappeared." Liu Wei lay in Ye Zhao's arms, enjoying Ye Zhao's tenderness, and looked at Ye Zhao in confusion.

These three are relatively important people around Ye Zhao. In fact, there are not only these three people around Ye Zhao during this period. The agreement reached with Li Ru at the foot of Beim Mountain that day has been approved by Dong Zhuo. The first batch of people sent to Hanzhong are all elites around Ye Zhao, just to worry that Dong Zhuo will change his mind. These people also have the ability to fight back, and they will not go to Hanzhong directly, but are preparing to receive the second batch of people sent by Ye Zhao.

This second batch is the group that Ye Zhao attaches most importance to, including his wife and children, Liu Bian and his son, Cai Yan, and many craftsmen who have control over Ye Zhao's secrets and his family members will be sent to Hanzhong in this second batch, and will be escorted away by the Nefan Camp. Then the rest will be discussed. Let Xi Zhicai accompany him, in order to avoid being plotted against others. With Xi Zhicai in charge of the overall situation, Ye Zhao can also feel more at ease. After all, the secret alliance between him and Dong Zhuo is forced by the situation, and both sides have no basis for trust. If Dong Zhuo changes his mind, Ye Zhao will have no way to deal with him at this moment. But that is the same as completely pushing Ye Zhao to the coalition side. Dong Zhuo is unlikely to fight with Ye Zhao at this time.

"Well, they have been sent to Sili to open the way first and are ready to pick you up." Ye Zhao nodded and said. At this time, there is no need to hide Liu Wei.

"Come on us?" Liu Wei looked at Ye Zhao in confusion and said in confusion: "Where are you going? Husband wants to separate from me and my mother and son?"

"This time won't be too long." Ye Zhao touched Liu Wei's smooth back and comforted her with a low mood and said with a smile: "Hanoi is not a place for a long time. For the husband, he should seek a way out early. Wherever he goes this time is also a place for his husband to settle down. Mrs. Don't worry, Mrs., I have to transport these troops and many supplies secretly away, so I will be separated from her husband for a few months."

"Will there be danger?" Liu Wei looked at Ye Zhao worriedly. She was so cautious and she had to hide her eyes. Even if she didn't understand these things, she could guess that Ye Zhao's destination was not close this time. They were easy to say, but Ye Zhao was probably not easy to bring tens of thousands of troops to come over.

"There are dangers, but it is not easy for the world to plot against your husband." Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing when he heard this and comforted him: "After going over, guard your home and wait for me."

"Yeah~"

Liu Wei murmured like a cat. She was very well-behaved and obsessed that night.

The next day, Ye Zhao came out of the room with a tired look on his face. Just as he was about to go to the schoolyard after breakfast, he met Zhang Liao who followed Dian Wei.

"I will meet the lord at the end." Zhang Liao bowed to Ye Zhao and said.

"Wenyuan hasn't eaten breakfast yet, so it's just right, eat with us!" Ye Zhao said with a smile. His breakfast food was either with his wives and concubines, or with Dian Wei and Zhao Yun.

Regarding Zhao Yun, Ye Zhao actually wanted to use him as a general in command, but after a while, and with Xi Zhicai's evaluation when Zhao Yun was guarding Hulao Pass, Ye Zhao found that although Zhao Yun had good martial arts skills, perhaps because he was only devoted to martial arts in his early years, his attainments in military tactics were mediocre and even a little low. According to Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yun lacked foundation in this regard and was not suitable for being the leader of the first army for the time being, but his learning ability was quite strong and he could be well trained.

In other words, although Zhao Yun is a family tradition of military generals, he is different from his brother Zhao Rong. He has never experienced systematic military strategy learning and does not have much experience in leading troops. When he was in Hulao Pass, military affairs were mostly hosted by Ji Ling, and Zhao Yun learned from the side. However, in such a short time, even if Zhao Yun is eager to learn, he would not be able to directly make him a famous general. Therefore, Ye Zhao brought Zhao Yun by his side, temporarily filling He Man's vacancy and being his own guard with Dian Wei, which also facilitates his own teaching of military strategy.

"Thank you lord!" Zhang Liao hurriedly bowed.

His servants added bowls and chopsticks to Zhang Liao. The four of them sat down accordingly. Ye Zhao took a sip of the broth and said with a smile: "Wenyuan is still used to it during this period."

Zhang Liao quickly stood up and said, "Mong's lord value..."

"Sit down, this place is just a family dinner, not a military rule, let it go." Ye Zhao stretched out his hand and pressed it quietly, smiling at Zhang Liao.

"Here!" Zhang Liao sat down again and said, "In the lord's army, the military rules are strict and the law enforcement is strict. Liao admires it very much."

"There is no need to say these flattering words." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Wenyuan is also a person who knows the military. You should know that the military law is important in this army. It is fundamental to be able to implement military law."

"It's not flattery. Although military law is the foundation, if it cannot be implemented, it's better not to have it." Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Looking at the army in the world, how many troops can implement military law like the lord?"

At the beginning, Zhang Liao was won by Ye Zhao as a bet, and he was a little resistant. However, after this period of time, Zhang Liao could see Ye Zhao's extraordinaryness. Just in terms of military governance, not to mention training, but just the implementation of military law was the strictest one that Zhang Liao knew.

In addition, Ye Zhao also attached great importance to Zhang Liao, and was always invited and never stingy in rewards. Over time, he naturally adapted to this heart.

"This is not bad." Ye Zhao nodded. The army paid attention to military discipline so that it would not become a beast that could only kill.

"Wen Yuan hasn't said that he came to the mansion so early, but there is something wrong in the army?" Ye Zhao asked while signaling Zhang Liao to have a meal.

"There is no longer enough food in the Hanoi treasury. According to the lord's instructions, our army's training has been strengthened, and the supply of food and grass has continued to increase. The food in the treasury may be less than our army's consumption for two months." Zhang Liao nodded.

After all, Hanoi is just a county. If Ye Zhao does not strengthen training, the grain stored in the treasury will be barely enough to maintain military use. However, this time, the battle of the Nefan Camp during the military exercises aroused the competitiveness of the soldiers. After all, although the training intensity of the Nefan Camp is shocking, they are all big men and no one wants to be compared by a group of women. It is precisely because of this that during this period after the military exercise, the troops in Ye Zhao's army have been fully trained almost every day. Although the combat power of the army will change qualitatively in a short period of time, the food and grass consumed for maintaining training will increase significantly, especially the supply of meat minced meat. The meat minced meat in the treasury has been almost eaten up.

In addition to training his own troops, Zhang Liao is also responsible for the distribution of food and grass with Xu Rong, so he came to Ye Zhao early in the morning to discuss the matter.

"Don't worry about food and grass. The grain in Ye's private warehouse is enough to support it." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

A few years ago, under Ye Zhao's instruction, Liang Uncle Liang used some profits to purchase grain in various places every year. Over the years, the grain accumulated in Ye's private warehouse, not to mention a county in Hanoi, may not be much smaller than the inventory of the State Prefecture. This is still the reason why some of it has been shipped to Hanzhong. Otherwise, the grain of the Ye family would be enough to support the army for three years.

"I will ask Uncle Liang to take Wen fare to get food and grass later." Ye Zhao took a bite of the bread and thought for a while and said, "If the year is over this year, it is spring. The princes of Kanto have now secretly reached an alliance to attack Dong Zhuo. This Hanoi land is adjacent to Luoyang, and it is already a dangerous place. I have found another foundation. The craftsmen and soldiers of the army will be sent away one after another. If Wen Yuan is willing, he can bring his family away in these days."

I see!

Zhang Liao's heart moved. During this period, he had already noticed that several troops in the army had disappeared. Originally, Ye Zhao brought back 27,000 troops, and then he also organized the Ye family's private soldiers into the army. In addition, the Hanoi County soldiers who were later subdued, there were 40,000. However, although the food and grass consumption increased during this period, according to Zhang Liao's calculations, at least 10,000 people disappeared, and they were all the most elite part of Ye Zhao's army.

"This..." Zhang Liao looked at Ye Zhao. This was not only about caring about him, but also about whether Zhang Liao was completely back. After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "Can you tell me where to go?"

"It's hard to say for the time being, but Wen Yuan can rest assured that the next group of people sent away, including my wife and concubine, youngest son and King Hongnong, will also go with the Empress Dowager. In addition, there are already soldiers who go to the road, so there should be no danger." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"In this way, I will send someone to bring my mother and wife at home." Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and nodded.

"That's great." Ye Zhao smiled when he heard this. This also means that Zhang Liao is ready to fight him completely. After all, it's easy to call him lord these days. It's a joke to win people's hearts with this title. Zhang Liao is willing to hand over his family's safety to him. Basically, this general will be Ye Zhao's future.
