Chapter 1306 Joint Military Deployment (Part 1)

Zhao Zilong's idea was soon told to Huangfu Chaobo by Lao Du. After listening to Lao Du's words, Huangfu Chaobo agreed to his idea without much thought. In his opinion, Zhao Zilong actually thought of proposing to join the Tang Kingdom. , this is what he did not expect. You must know that even if he is in control of the world, he is still flying his own banner instead of appearing in front of everyone under the banner of the Tang Army. In the eyes of other princes and players, he is still an ally of the Tang State. Rather than a subordinate, Zhao Zilong wants to become his subordinate, which may also be an inspiration to Zongheng Tianxia.

Zhao Zilong's speed is a bit suspicious, but for Huangfu Chaobo, this may not be an attempt by Huangfu Chaobo to treat several allies such as Zongheng Tianxia and Xiaowen, so Huangfu Chaobo is very happy He agreed to his request, and at the same time said that he could also support him with a batch of large yellow crossbows.

After getting Lao Du's reply, Zhao Zilong got in touch with Huangfu Chaobo. After some further communication, the two officially confirmed the cooperative relationship.

After solving the problem of Zhao Zilong, Huangfu Chaobo focused his energy on the direction of Shangjun. According to Xu Rong's suggestion and the results of discussions with Guo Jia and others, Huangfu Chaobo decided to resolve the matters of Shangjun and Hetao first before sending troops. Deal with Lu Bu, and then decide whether it is Wei or Qi.

Now due to the loss of Shanyang County, Pang Shanmin and several people are waiting for posts in Luoyang, so Huangfu Chaobo decided to appoint Pang Shanmin as the prefect of Shangjun. The county magistrate should still be Liu Yixun and the captain Li Ling. As for the military camp, Huangfu Chaobo originally wanted Xu Huang The general wanted to reorganize a battalion of soldiers and horses, but considering that Xu Huang was a new recruit, although he was very capable, his sudden rise to a high position might be detrimental to the unity within the Tang army, so he decided to move Tian Yu's Yingyang camp The expansion was from the original four steps, one crossbow and one cavalry to six steps, one crossbow and one cavalry. The lieutenants were Yang Feng and Xu Huang.

Yang Feng led three schools of infantry to guard the east of the river, while Xu Huang and Tian Yu were in Shangjun, preparing to capture all other areas within the bends of the river in the Hetao area and bring them under the control of Shangjun. As for Liu Bao, Huangfu Chaobo included him in the Guards and ordered him and Xu Huang to rush to Shangjun to prepare for the formation of a 10,000-strong Huns cavalry force.

In addition to the arrangements for Shangjun, Huangfu Chaobo also arranged for Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Hu Yandu to take turns going to Yanbei County to select soldiers and complete the three troops as soon as possible.

After arranging these things, Huangfu Chaobo was troubled by another matter. Originally, the arrangement of the Tang army was divided into several levels. From the garrison, that is, the county soldiers were divided into units of a thousand people, while the battle camp was based on The school is the unit, and the higher level is the battalion, and the higher level is the army.

Originally, only Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Xu Rong were able to command an army in the Tang army. They were barely able to command the various battalions of soldiers under the Tang army. However, Xu Rong was defeated now, making Huangfu Chaobo's generals even more stretched. Elbow. There are still a few generals among the remaining generals who can shoulder the important task, but they are either new generals like Ji Ling and Xu Huang, or they are like Zhang He, Tian Yu, and Huang Xu who have not achieved the level of experience and merit.

Now that Xu Rong is dead, Huangfu Chaobo must arrange for someone to coordinate and manage the various troops in Yanzhou. Otherwise, when facing Qi, there may be a situation where the coordination between the various troops is not in place. Facing Cao Cao plus Cheng Yu and Sima Yi With this combination, Huangfu Chaobo would not dare to be careless for a moment. Once Qi State caught the opportunity, Yanzhou would probably be defeated in a daze.

It's just that Huangfu Chaobo really had a hard time making a decision about this personnel arrangement.

After much consideration, Huangfu Chaobo decided to arrange for Lu Su to go to Jiyin to take charge. The reason why he chose Lu Su was because among the four of Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Lu Su and Fazheng, only Lu Su was the most stable.

It is different from the good intentions of the other three. Facing the threat from Qi, Huangfu Chaobo hoped that stability could be maintained on the eastern front battlefield before pacifying Zhao.

However, Lu Su's situation was different from Xu Rong's. Xu Rong commanded several troops, while Lu Su only represented Huangfu Chaobo to coordinate the dispatch of various troops and counsel the military.

After arranging all these things, Huangfu Chaobo felt a little relieved. The Tang State had always had the advantage of cavalry against the princes of the world, but now Huangfu Chaobo's elite cavalry suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, Zhao and Wei The country's cavalry has almost been wiped out, otherwise Huangfu Chaobo would probably have trouble sleeping and eating, so after the cavalry is replenished, the Tang army will make no other moves for the time being.

At the beginning of June, the people of Pangshan Mountain went to Shangjun to perform their duties, escorted by a group of personal guards. They also set off with Xu Huang and Liu Bao. At the same time, Lao Du and Xiao Jiejie, leading dozens of personal guards and several generals under their command, began to embark on the ship heading south to the Central Plains.

Zhao Zilong was still reorganizing his troops. He left Bingzhou with more than 10,000 troops. During the two months of his escape, he and his subordinates had been training these 10,000 troops and brought them all together. Trained to become a cavalry, but although it has barely taken shape now, it is still not strong in terms of combat effectiveness, so Zhao Zilong plans to train for a while before setting off south.

Another thing is that he has sent people to Zhending to evacuate all the people in Zhaojiacheng. However, when he was colluding with Huangfu Chaobo, he never mentioned this incident at all, so he didn't know about Zhang Yan at all. Now he has secretly defected to Tang State.

If the negotiation with Zhang Yan goes smoothly, the more than 20,000 people and thousands of soldiers in Zhending will also withdraw and go to Yuzhou to join Zhao Zilong's army. According to Zhao Zilong's arrangement, he plans to lead the army to Yingxi County around September to join Zongheng Tianxia, ​​and then occupy two or three county towns before the New Year, and then find a way to expand the territory to five or six cities next year.

…

Three months later, Zhao Zilong finally appeared in Wuyang with 15,000 soldiers. Among these 15,000 soldiers, in addition to the 10,000 cavalry carefully trained by Qian Zhao, there are also 5,000 infantry trained from Zhaojia City in Zhending and Pingyin City in Luoyang. These are the capital for Zhao Zilong to turn over. As for the tens of thousands of ordinary people, they are still in Pingyin and Yanbei. They will only move here after Zhao Zilong captures one or two cities.

Outside Wuyang City, Zongheng Tianxia led a group of players of Tianxia Wuze and Chen Dao and other subordinates to welcome Zhao Zilong and his party. Zong Heng Tian Xia agreed wholeheartedly to Zhao Zilong's suggestion of jointly sending troops to Nanyang. Although he had been preparing to send troops to Nanyang, he still did not dare to act rashly in the face of Zhang Jijun's 20,000 Western Liang cavalry. Now that someone was willing to share some of the risks, he would definitely not object.
