Liu Zhang kept scanning the generals in the room, wondering how to allocate his army.
These people were all top generals, and Liu Zhang was really reluctant to send any of them out.
In the end, Liu Zhang set his sights on Zhang Liao.
"Wenyuan."
Zhang Liao immediately walked up to Liu Zhang and obeyed the order with his hands raised.
"The end is here!"
"I order you to lead the Han camp to Pingxiang to replace Huang Zhong."
Zhang Liao was a little disappointed when he heard that it was a defensive mission, but he still had no objections.
"The general will obey your orders!"
Liu Zhang had already seen Zhang Liao's heart and chuckled.
"Wenyuan, I didn't send you to guard Pingxiang."
Zhang Liao was slightly stunned and immediately asked Liu Zhang for advice.
"Please let me know, Lord."
"Ma Teng led his army from Zuli to raid Pingxiang. Now we might as well raid Zuli from Pingxiang!"
Wuwei County lost all its troops and horses, so Liu Zhang naturally could not let go of such a good opportunity.
"After returning to Huang Zhong, you can lead the army to attack Wuwei directly. I will lead the army to attack Yuzhong as your support."
Although Wuwei County and Jincheng County border Hanyang County, due to the mountains separating them, there are only two roads that can be used as attack routes.
If Liu Zhang marches into Yuzhong, he can control all the soldiers and horses of Jincheng County. In the same way, if Zhang Liao attacks Zuli, the soldiers and horses of Wuwei County cannot pass by.
Zhang Liao was immediately overjoyed when he heard that he had an offensive mission. For a military general, only by attacking a city can one reflect one's own value.
"The general will obey your orders!"
Fearing that Zhang Liao's army and horses would make any mistakes, Liu Zhang quickly gave instructions.
"Wenyuan, you and Han Xingying are the only ones attacking Wuwei County this time. Don't rush in because of greed for credit!"
"As long as you guard Zu Li, you can block all mighty enemies."
"Your mission is not to attack the city, but to protect Hanyang County from the flanks."
After years of strength, Zhang Liao has grown from the centurion he was before to a level where he can stand alone.
However, there is still a certain gap between Zhang Wenyuan and Zhang Wenyuan, who was so powerful in Jiangdong in history.
Greed for merit and rash advancement is always the most fatal problem, but it is also the most difficult temptation for military officers to resist.
"Please rest assured, my lord, I will always remember my lord's name!"
Liu Zhang nodded and didn't say much more. Generally speaking, he had great trust in Zhang Liao.
"Wenyuan, after arriving in Pingxiang, ask Huang Zhong to lead the army to Jieting immediately. There must be no mistake!"
The biggest threat at present is not Han Sui, Ma Chao, or the Qiang people who are about to become hostile. Only the Xianbei cavalry is the biggest threat.
Anding County was not under Liu Zhang's control, so the information could not be passed to Liu Zhang without time lag.
Now that Xiao Pass is destroyed, the Xianbei cavalry may pass through Xiao Pass and raid Jieting at any time.
Once the street pavilion is destroyed, just like Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition to Qishan in history, the Yizhou Army's Northern Expedition will immediately fail.
At that time, the retreat routes of all armies will be cut off, and the entire Yizhou Group will face a disaster.
Liu Zhang would never allow Ma Di's incident to happen again. He would use street pavilions to announce the success of the first Northern Expedition.
"The last general will definitely bring the Lord's orders to General Huang!"
Zhang Liao knew the importance of the street pavilion and immediately made a promise to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang once again glanced at the generals, preparing to select others who would go to the street pavilion.
Huang Zhong was appointed by Lu Su, and Liu Zhang had to arrange the rest by himself.
"Gao Shun obeys the order!"
In the end, Liu Zhang was determined and called out Gao Shun's name.
"The end is here!"
"Gao Shun, I order you to lead the trapped camp and go to Jieting to resist the Xianbei army!"
"The general will obey your orders!"
Gao Shun is a typical soldier. He always has only one attitude towards Liu Zhang's orders, and that is to resolutely implement them!
Even if he knew he was going to die, he would still have no complaints.
Liu Zhang was quite reluctant to give up. Gao Shun was currently the strongest offensive and defensive unit under his command.
The Five Thousand Traps camp relies on the blessing of heavy armor and iron shield array, which is enough to withstand the impact of any type of troops.
If there were no troops to dispatch, Liu Zhang would have wanted to keep Gao Shun and let him follow him to Yuzhong to deal with the Qiang people.
However, the street pavilion was so important that Liu Zhang had no choice but to reluctantly part with it.
"Busy Ya, Wu Gu listens to the order!"
The two barbarian generals reacted very quickly and immediately walked out of the team, waiting for Liu Zhang's order.
"The end is here!"
"Wugu and Mangya, you two each select five thousand barbarian warriors and go to the street pavilion to defend the enemy together!"
"The general will obey your orders!"
For the defense of the Longshan Mountains on both sides mentioned by Lu Su, the best defenders are undoubtedly barbarian soldiers who are good at mountain warfare.
Liu Zhang believed that with Lu Su's proper arrangements, at least the Xianbei people would not dare to climb Longshan Mountain and cross the street pavilion.
After everything was arranged, Liu Zhang turned to look at Dian Wei.
"Ele, hand over the defense force that the Wuwei Battalion was previously responsible for to Yang Lin, and then immediately assemble the Wuwei Battalion!"
"As you command!"
All the soldiers and horses were sent out, and those who followed Liu Zhang to Yuzhong to attack were Zhao Yun and Huwei camp, Taishi Ci and Wufeng camp, Dianwei and Wuwei camp, and Zhu Meng's barbarians.
The first three battalions of soldiers and horses were not fully organized after the battle, especially Wufeng Battalion, which lost nearly 2,000 men in the battle with Han Sui. Currently, there are only more than 7,500 combatable soldiers left in the entire battalion.
After the 10,000 barbarians were transferred, Zhu Meng only had more than 18,000 people under his command.
Now Liu Zhang could mobilize only 45,000 troops!
In other words, no matter how many troops Ma Chao, Han Sui or the Qiang gathered in the next three months, Liu Zhang would only have 45,000 troops.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhang suddenly became more stressed, especially when he didn't know how many enemy troops he would face in Jincheng County!
"Evil comes, now we are the worst of the worst. Do you have the will to fight?"
Liu Zhang glanced at Dian Wei angrily, and now his wish came true.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, my lord, this time I go to Yuzhong, no matter who Ma Chao, Han Sui or Qiang, I will twist off their heads and use them as chamber pots!"
Dian Wei's fearless and forthright character actually added a lot of morale to everyone in the room.
What the Yizhou Army is about to face may be the biggest crisis since the war, but the generals are still confident.
Everyone believes that under the leadership of Liu Zhang, the enemy will be defeated! Victory will eventually belong to Yizhou.
"Two military advisors, do you have anything else to add?"
There is currently no clear war, let alone a clear enemy, so Xun You and Pang Tong have very little room for action.
Out of respect for Xun You and Pang Tong, Liu Zhang still asked.
"My Lord, the arrangement is extremely appropriate. I have no objections."
Pang Tong, who always liked to put forward different ideas, didn't have anything to say. Instead, Xun You frowned, as if he had something to say.
"Gongda, feel free to speak your mind."
"Lord, we still have more than 20,000 Liangzhou cavalry prisoners. If we can surrender Ma Teng, it will be a help!"
