"Today, we will speed up the marching speed. We will go all the way. If we encounter thieves again, we will ignore it for the time being unless we actively attack us!" The next morning, the army gathered and Liu Tao officially announced.

Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu were a little puzzled. They just said yesterday that they wanted to eat the enemy, so why did they change their mind today? Jian Yong nodded slightly when he heard this. He was able to listen to the advice. This was a good lord!

But he didn't know that Liu Tao and his three brothers made their open and honest statements last night and made clear the direction, so today's arrangements were made.

Let those small groups of thieves go, and specifically target the small groups of Yellow Turban thieves to guerrilla warfare, and at the same time try to go south to meet with Lu Zhi. Of course, he actually has another choice, which is to detour Changshan, where there are not many Yellow Turban thieves there, and at the same time, you can try to recruit Zhao Yun along the way.

But he rejected this idea in the end. He took too far to take a detour and consumed too much supplies. If the thief was too little, it would be a problem to eat in the end. It would be better to meet with Lu Zhi quickly and be more secure.

Perhaps, when Lu Zhi gives him a task and goes to Changshan to suppress bandits, it will be harmless if he passes by the way.

After walking like this for a day, he started to cross the border of the county from Beixincheng County in Zhuo County and entered Zhongshan County. The moment he came here, Liu Tao felt a little moved. The original Liu Deran was the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. The predecessor of Zhongshan County, Zhongshan Kingdom, was the fief of King Jing of Zhongshan. Unfortunately, there was no King of Zhongshan in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so there was no Zhongshan Kingdom.

But he wouldn't be happy to really give him the Zhongshan Kingdom. It is almost in the central part of Bingzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou. The key is that there are almost plains everywhere, with no danger to defend, which is worse than Jingzhou.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Seeing Liu Tao begin to ponder, Lu Yan next to him asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking, if this battle ends, where should we seek as a place to establish ourselves. First, we need military power, and then it's better to have the power of governing around a county..." Liu Tao did not hide it.

"Of course, you need a border town, but you can choose a county near the border in Youzhou, Bingzhou, or even Liangzhou. But this is also dangerous. If you are in Bingzhou, you have to face the harassment of the Southern Xiongnu and the Xianbei at any time; if you are in Youzhou, you have to face the harassment of the Xianbei Wuhuan people; if you are in Liangzhou, you have to face the harassment of the Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei and Qiang people..." Lu Yan replied.

"Border town..." Liu Tao was thinking, because it was the border, almost only officials or prisoners would be moved here. Although there was a county town, it was basically military control, and no one would come here to take office.

Therefore, while taking into account military power, it is also equivalent to having governance power. The problem is that there is almost no population here.

Unless the population of the Hu tribes who went north to plunder the north, or migrated some from the mainland. The former is risky, while others are unwilling to do so. I always feel that if I go to the border town, it will be a bit of a loss...

"After deducting the border town, where can we take into account both governance and military power?" Liu Tao continued to ask.

"Unless the local bandits are in chaos, or the barbarians are in trouble... For example, Kuaiji County, Yuzhang County, Changsha County, Wuling County and Ba County will retain some military power so that local governments can suppress the bandits themselves." Lu Yan thought for a while this time before answering.

I remember that there was a rebellion in Changsha. Sun Jian led his army to fight as the prefect of Changsha. I remember that he had no military position at that time. It may have taken advantage of the loopholes in this year's edict. After all, Liu Hong did not seem to have taken back the right to allow local counties to recruit soldiers to defend the enemy.

Therefore, as the prefect of Changsha at that time, Sun Quan should still have military power. In this way, the prefect of Wuling, the prefect of Ba County, the prefect of Kuaiji and the prefect of Yuzhang should also have certain military power. If we extend it, the prefects of the county magistrates in various places probably have military power...

Slowly, there is actually no need to focus on the south. There is a similar place in the north, that is Shangdang County!

In the second year of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Niujiao rebelled in Taihang Mountains, and was later put down. Zhang Niujiao was also shot and killed. However, his subordinate and adopted son Zhang Yan (Chu Feiyan), gathered the remaining troops and established the Black Mountain Army, and has been active in the Taihang Mountains.

When the imperial court calmed down, they went down the mountain to plunder and attack the enemy. When the imperial court came to conquer, they fled into the Taihang Mountains, leaving the court helpless. Just say, Yuan Shao, from the time he seized Jizhou to the time he was destroyed by Cao Cao, he failed to eliminate the Heishan Army several times.

Changshan and Weijun said that they would not go to anything, so Shangdang County should be the best choice! Yes, it's here!

"Brother seems to have thought of something?" Seeing Liu Tao's face changing constantly and finally showing a happy expression, Lu Yan knew that Liu Tao had already made plans.

"I did think of some things, but the Yellow Turban Rebellion was not settled, so why bother to consider it so far. I heard that geniuses who are half ahead of others are geniuses, and those who are one step ahead of others are fools." Liu Tao shook his head. Booking is booking, but for such a long time, who knows if there are any changes during the period.

"What brother said is very much..." Lu Yan nodded, it was still too early to say this.

"Report! Twenty miles ahead is Puyin County!" The detective cavalry came back to report. Of course, the detective cavalry did not really walk twenty miles, and the scope of the formal marching was only ten miles. This detective cavalry must have known only after asking the people in the village.

"Is there a Yellow Turban Thief active in this area?" Liu Tao asked, which was also what he asked the detective to investigate.

"There is a group of Yellow Turban thieves with about two thousand people entrenched on Xu Ting's side and set up a camp, about fifteen miles away from here." The detective cavalry replied quickly, "Xu Ting is the only way to Puyin County!"

In other words, if you walk along the official road and want to go to Puyin County, you will not be able to avoid the location of Xu Ting.

Liu Tao immediately recorded the two information "fifteen miles away" and "Xu Ting" and secretly used the "Fenglong's Insight".

This is a magic that novices can master at Qi magic. In the game, the content of the game's shadow part is revealed. It is an adventure magic. It can only be cast once a day and consume 10 magic points each time. In the novice stage, you can explore the range of 5 radius and increase the master's radius to 7 radius.

After he traveled through the magic tower, the magic also changed slightly, and the exploration range changed from the so-called "5 radius grid" to "5 miles". In other words, he had already cast this magic, and everything around Xu Ting had a radius of 5 miles was in his senses.

It was like opening the satellite eye, or the "Sky Eye", and everything around Xu Ting, including houses, cattle, sheep, farmland, and Yellow Turban thieves, was in his sight.

Within the "Line of Sight", two thousand thieves with yellow turbans tied to their heads were stationed in the temporary camp. This was to drive away all the people from a mile and then occupy the camps built here, so most of the houses inside were the original houses of the people.

Unfortunately, there was no sound and I couldn't hear what they were saying, but the defense situation was clear at a glance.

"Brother?" Seeing Liu Tao suddenly closed his eyes and remained motionless, Lu Yan asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, I just think of something..." Liu Tao looked around and replied, then rode his horse to Lu Yan and whispered, "I just opened the 'Sky Eye' to check Xu Ting's situation. Sure enough, there is a Yellow Turban Thieves Camp, and there are really about two thousand Yellow Turban Thieves inside! The key is that these two thousand people should be the war soldiers of the Yellow Turban Thieves!"

"Brother has new magical powers?" Lu Yan was excited when he heard this. This heavenly eye is really powerful, so there is nowhere to hide from the thief!
