Liu Zhang had decided that if Cai Mao could not produce the grain and grass by then, he would let Zhao Yun and others go to Jingzhou to plunder.
As much as you can grab!
Deng Zhi very much agreed with Liu Zhang's arrangement. After all, there were 20,000 war horses, so we couldn't be careless!
"Qin Gong, Cai Mao is afraid of Liu Bei's pressure and wants Qin Gong to attack Liu Bei together with him. I can just prevaricate him."
"Liu Bei..."
Liu Zhang frowned slightly, feeling extremely depressed at the thought of allowing Liu Bei to take advantage of this loophole.
"Let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it together later!"
"Bo Miao, your task is to keep an eye on the transaction of grain, grass and war horses. These grains and grass are vital to us, and will even affect us for several years to come!"
“Make sure nothing goes wrong!”
Deng Zhi's eyes were firm and he nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I will go find General Zhao immediately later. When I am ready, I will go to Wuguan with the army!"
"Okay, with you two, I can rest assured about this!"
The combination of Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi, tsk tsk...
After all, they were two people who had collaborated in history, so Liu Zhang was very relieved.
"Bo Miao, the people must be properly resettled to minimize casualties."
"As you command!"
After making arrangements for Wuguan, Liu Zhang looked at Wei Qian again.
"Boxi, it's October soon. You should work harder and start the migration as early as possible."
Wei Jian had no objection and immediately accepted the order.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, there will definitely be no mistakes in the immigration matter! It's just..."
"Just what? If you have any difficulties, just ask!"
Liu Zhang knew Wei Qian's character, so there must be something he couldn't solve.
"Qin Gong, winter is approaching soon. Every year at this time, the Southern Huns will plunder the counties east of Hedong."
"When I was worried about immigration, I happened to encounter the marauding Huns."
"They are cruel by nature. As long as they meet, they will definitely cause huge casualties!"
After Wei Qian reminded Liu Zhang, he finally remembered.
The Huns who occupied Hetao had shown their ambitions, and all the cities along the Yellow River were captured by them.
Hetao is divided into three plains: Xitao, Backtao and Qiantao.
Among them, Xitao is near Lian County in Beidi County, which Liu Zhang just captured.
Since there are many Huns in Xitao, the Yizhou Army has only recovered Fuping County at the junction of Beidi County and Anding County.
Qiantao Plain is close to Bingzhou, and then you can go deep into Bingzhou.
And Houtao Plain is directly above Hedong County.
In fact, the Southern Huns could survive the winter smoothly without plundering prefectures and counties.
But since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court was unable to control them, and Yuan Shao had united with them, making these Huns even more unscrupulous!
Liu Zhang wanted to completely destroy this bullshit Southern Huns, but the current conditions did not allow it!
"Bo Xi, how many Huns are there in general who plunder Hedong?"
Wei Jian thought about it carefully and knew that this number was very important to Liu Zhang.
"Mr. Qin, based on our experience over the years, the number ranges from two to three thousand to nearly ten thousand."
Liu Zhang nodded and began to think about countermeasures.
These people are very important and must not die at the hands of the Huns.
"Someone is coming!"
Liu Zhang gave the order, and the soldiers at the door immediately walked into the hall.
"Lord!"
"Tai Shi Ci, Ma Chao, and Pang De are here."
"As you command!"
"By the way, find Pang Tong too!"
"As you command!"
Hedong County has a population of 450,000, which is worthy enough for Liu Zhang to send out his luxurious lineup.
It is a pity that the troops and horses of each battalion have been severely damaged and there is no time to replenish them. Otherwise, it would not be a bad idea to go deep into the territory of Hedong to confront the Xiongnu head-on.
"Mr. Qin, is General Taishi Ci the commander-in-chief of Wufeng Camp?"
Seeing Wei Qian's excited expression, Liu Zhang smiled and nodded.
"Yes, it's Wu Feng Camp!"
Wufeng Camp has been established for more than ten years and has already gained a great reputation!
Especially in this confrontation with the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, they frequently defeated the enemy with less and more hits, which once again enhanced the power of the Wufeng Battalion.
Through this battle of Yongliang, Wufeng Camp, which had been dormant in Yizhou for many years, completely announced its comeback, and once again showed its ferocious fangs to the princes of the world.
However, Wu Feng Camp experienced successive bloody battles and lost nearly 3,000 men.
Liu Zhang felt heartbroken every time he thought about the loss.
Nowadays, it is easy to replenish troops, but it may take several years to form new combat capabilities.
Especially the Chexuan Formation, if it doesn't last three to five years, it will definitely not be able to use its arms as well as its fingers.
Not long after, Taishi Ci, Ma Chao, and Pang De arrived one after another, and Pang Tong also came to Weiyang Palace.
"Meet Qin Gong!"
After Liu Zhang moved into Chang'an and Weiyang Palace, everyone's etiquette became more numerous.
Even the wild and untamable Ma Chao was very cautious in front of Liu Zhang at this moment.
Especially in Weiyang Palace, everyone felt a solemn atmosphere.
"No need to be polite!"
"I have brought you all here because I have a very important thing to entrust to you!"
The four people stared intently and listened to Liu Zhang's instructions with their ears raised.
"This is Wei Ji, who is about to take up the post of Jing Zhaoyin. He will be responsible for all the population migration in Hedong County and Hongnong County."
After Liu Zhang made a brief introduction, the five people waved their hands to each other.
"Mr. Qin, do you want me to go and help with the migration?"
"no."
Liu Zhang put his hands on his chest and shook his head gently.
"There are 450,000 people in Hedong County, and migration will be very difficult."
"It is now the end of September. Every winter, the Huns come to Hedong County to plunder."
"If the Huns are allowed to encounter the migrating people, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Pang Tong nodded with some understanding, and immediately understood what Liu Zhang meant.
Just as he was about to speak, Ma Chao on the side suddenly became furious.
"What! How dare these damn Huns act so boldly!"
"Don't worry, Duke Qin, the general will immediately lead the fine cavalry to pick out these Xiongnu bastards, so that the Xianbei people can serve as a lesson for them!"
Ma Chao is still as irritable as ever, but this brave and fierce momentum is also very rare.
The Southern Xiongnu now occupy three Hetao areas. After more than a hundred years of stable development, the population has reached more than 300,000.
However, the Huns, Xianbei and Han people are different. All their people are soldiers, and men are taught to ride and shoot from birth.
Therefore, the Southern Xiongnu were able to mobilize quickly during wartime and had at least more than 100,000 string control men.
Nowadays, there are only more than 10,000 Liangzhou elite cavalry remaining. Even if Ma Chao descends to earth, there is absolutely nothing he can do to defeat the Xiongnu.
"Meng Qiyong is brave, but now is not the time for us to show off with the Xiongnu."
"This time Wu Fengying and Jingqi followed Bo Xi to Hedong. Their main task is to protect the people from being killed by the Huns and successfully reach Guanzhong!"
After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he turned to look at Pang Tong.
When the situation of the enemy is uncertain, Pang Tong, who often has strange tricks, is undoubtedly the most useful.
"Shi Yuan, this is not a combat mission, and I don't ask for the annihilation of many Huns. I only have two requests."
"The first is to ensure the safety of the people, and the second is to preserve our soldiers as much as possible."
"It would be great if the Huns didn't show up!"
Pang Tong understood what Liu Zhang meant and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, but I will act with caution!"
With Pang Tong around, Liu Zhang felt much more at ease, and then he turned to look at Tai Shici and the others.
"Ziyi, Meng Qi, Lingming, the three of you must obey Shiyuan's instructions, and remember not to act rashly!"
