Chapter 923: The Situation in Bingzhou
Huangfu Chaobo and Huangfu Chaobo both had wry smiles on their faces when they heard what they said about killing the wrong wolf. It would be better not to do this kind of training. Zongheng Tianxia lost more than half, and Huangfu Chaobo lost even more, reaching 60%. Tens of thousands of troops were just gone. How much food and supplies and how much time would it take to organize and train this tens of thousands of troops?
Not to mention anything else, if these tens of thousands of troops are trained, the number of casualties will be astonishing.
Huangfu Chaobo stopped talking to the two about this content and changed the topic: "Brother Zongheng, does he know what the situation is like in Bingzhou?"
Zongheng Tian was stunned, wondering why Huangfu Chaobo turned the topic to Bingzhou again. Is there something going to happen in Bingzhou? However, he did not continue to ask, but replied: "I heard Xiaoying talk about something, and prompted by your intelligence last year, they in Bingzhou are stepping up their reserves of supplies and strengthening city defenses."
At this point, Zongheng Tianxia asked a curious question: "Is Lu Bu's army ready to send troops?"
Huangfu Chaobo nodded and said: "The information I got is that Lu Bu is mobilizing food and grass to Yanmen, and there are also signs that Bingzhou's troops and horses are also mobilizing to Yanmen."
Zongheng Tianxia nodded and continued to introduce what he knew to Huangfu Chaobo. After being reminded by Huangfu Chaobo, everyone in Bingzhou was preparing for the war with all their strength. In addition to stockpiling supplies and strengthening city defenses, several people were training their troops with all their strength. In addition, in the past two years, everyone had successively received the support of historical generals, which made Everyone's situation is much better.
There is also the opening of dungeon missions, which has greatly increased the strength of the generals on hand. For example, Zhao Zilong, after receiving Huangfu Chaobo's prompt, immediately brought Feiyang Town under its control and is currently developing it at full capacity. According to Zhao Zilong, the earliest Feiyang should be upgraded to a small town is next month. By then, He will become Guan Jian who resists Lu Bu's army from advancing westward.
What Zhao Zilong has been struggling with is that he has not yet obtained the official position of Wuyuan Prefect, which makes him extremely depressed. In order to defend Wuyuan, Zhao Zilong also specially mobilized thousands of soldiers and horses from Zhao County and Pingyin to Wuyuan, and then transferred most of Zilonghui's combat power to Wuyuan. It seems that he wanted to defend Wuyuan. , and encountered Lu Bu's army.
If Zhao Zilong's Zilonghui still has a way out, then Shuofang's knights have been completely forced to a dead end. Although they have completely controlled the entire Shuofang, the knights only occupied the southernmost county town of Dacheng without making any further arrangements. As for other cities, the same is true. He has now focused all his energy on Guangmu City, and even the county government is set in Guangmu City.
Today, Guangmu City has reached a population of 100,000, and its military strength has reached 20,000, including two schools of infantry soldiers, one school of garrison soldiers, and one school of Huns cavalry. In addition, Guangmu City is close to a river and has no shortage of water resources. There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses gathered in the city, enough to meet the needs of a year.
In addition to Guangmu City, the knights also arranged an army of 10,000 to defend Shuofang City on the other side of the river. The other cities were basically defended by only about 10,000 people and about 3,000 soldiers. After discussing with his subordinates, the knights all agreed that Lu Bu's army would not let the Guangmu City Guards go, but would first attack the unimportant cities. The city is occupied, so Guangmu and Shuofang will be the top priority.
Of course, the prerequisite for Guangmu to fall into a war is that Wuyuan County in the east was captured by Lu Bu. Otherwise, Lu Bu would not attack like this under normal circumstances. Regarding Lu Bu's westward march, several people have been discussing since last year about joining forces to fight against the Bingzhou army. It's just that when Lu Bu's army will send troops and where they will go from, these are all unclear things, so everyone has not discussed a reason.
After listening to Zongheng Tianxia's words, Huangfu Chaobo was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "According to our inference, Lu Bu's army should be dispatched this year, but the current war situation in Huainan is not optimistic, so Xianyang..."
Zongheng Tianxia was able to reach the position of the prefect of a county. Although Huangfu Chaobo contributed a lot, he was not stupid. Hearing his close friend, he immediately said: "Boss Chaobo means.
. . "
As soon as the words came out, Huangfu Chaobo stood up and said angrily: "Brother Zongheng, do you mean that we are not even friends?"
Zongheng Tianxia was stunned, and immediately realized what was going on. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. As Huangfu Chaobo's territory grew larger, his power became stronger, so Zongheng Tianxia also paid attention to this aspect intentionally or unintentionally, every time he wanted to see Huangfu Chaobo. They all sent people to inform them first, but they were not as free and easy as before.
Just like other players, the title was no longer as casual as before. When Zongheng Tianxia was about to explain, Huangfu Chaobo said: "Brother Zongheng, this is just a game, no matter how it develops in it , we have to leave here eventually, I don’t want to end up without even a single friend.”
As he said that, he looked at Sha Wong Lang again and said: "Old Wolf, you are the same way. Although we don't know each other in real life, I can see that you are not a person who is difficult to communicate with. I also have a very good attitude towards others. If possible, I hope we can become true friends.”
After listening to Huangfu Chaobo's words, both of them felt very comfortable. Zongheng Tianxia shook his head and said: "Yes, no matter what, we are still friends. However, I don't dare to be presumptuous in front of a bunch of your subordinates. I know that old man Tian can do it for three days without repeating it."
All three of them smiled.
After laughing, Zongheng Tianxia restrained his smile and asked tentatively: "Chaobo, what do you mean... you might give up Xi'anyang?"
Huangfu Chaobo looked tangled, nodded and shook his head: "I don't know what to do. For the sake of several brothers, Xi'anyang should be defended to the death, or at least help them to defend it, but in this way, there will definitely be a big battle between me and Lu Bu's army, and it is estimated that it will not be over in a year or two."
"But with my current strength, it is absolutely impossible to start a war in two directions at the same time, and both are battles with tens of thousands of people. So I discussed with Pang Tong and Guo Jia for a long time and didn't make a final decision." After saying that, he looked at the two with a wry smile.
The two nodded thoughtfully, it was true, especially in this battle, Huangfu Chaobo and the Yuzhou Army lost tens of thousands of elite troops, and the follow-up army was also rushing to Huainan. There must be several more battles later. In terms of the situation of the Andong Army, it is indeed very stressful to start a war against two princes in two directions at the same time.
