Chapter 926: Yulou Reorganizes the Army

Ji Ling led the army back to Liao County, handed over 10,000 soldiers to Li Feng, and ordered them to continue to station in Qisi to defend the coalition forces from advancing eastward along the Huai River. He also ordered Li Gui to guard Liao County and Ji Bao to guard Anfeng. In addition to the 5,000 soldiers and 5,000 foreign soldiers originally stationed in Anfeng County, he also withdrew 10,000 soldiers and transferred them to each of them to lead a school of soldiers, and they formed a horn with Li Feng's army to jointly defend against the coalition forces from advancing eastward.

Ji Ling himself and Lei Bo led the reorganized 30,000 heavy infantry and 20,000 soldiers to return to Shouchun to prepare for the next battle.

After Huang Zhong's army arrived in Yulou, Huangfu Chaobo handed the entire army to him. Zhang He's war arrangements in the past few days have been unanimously recognized by the generals of the Andong Army, and Huangfu Chaobo also asked him to assist Huang Zhong in reorganizing the army.

Huangfu Chaobo has been discussing the reorganization of the army with Pang Tong and Guo Jia these days. For this expedition, the Andong Army originally drew two infantry battalions from Huang Wudie's Huben Battalion, one infantry battalion from Wang Yong's Shenwu Battalion, and one infantry battalion from Zhang He's Xiongqu Battalion, a total of four battalions of soldiers. In addition, there were four battalions of infantry and one cavalry battalion from Huang Zhong and Han Xian from Jianwu Battalion in Runan County of Yuzhou Army, and two battalions of soldiers and horses from Wang Ran from Fenwu Battalion in Yingchuan County, a total of seven battalions of soldiers. Now the cavalry battalion is still in Geyang without any losses. The remaining ten battalions of 50,000 soldiers have now been reduced to only 20,000.

In the subsequent reinforcements, Huangfu Chaobo simply drew out all the Yuzhou Army's battalions. Now, Yingchuan and Chen County in the three counties of Yuzhou have only one cavalry battalion, while Runan still has two infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion left by Li Le to defend Ruyin. Now the battalion in Yulou County should have 16 battalions with a total of 80,000 people, but now all of them add up to only 55,000 people.

Huangfu Chaobo's idea is to disband all these soldiers and reorganize them, mix the more than 20,000 soldiers who have gone through this battle with the 35,000 new soldiers, and then consider the issue of subsequent dispatch after a period of training.

The soldiers who have gone through this battle are definitely the backbone of the army, which is of great benefit to the combat effectiveness of the battle camp. Huang Zhong and Zhang He and other Andong Army generals also agreed with this, so there was a mix of soldiers in the entire battle camp.

After such reorganization, except for Zhang He's halberd soldiers with more than 4,000 people, the number of soldiers in the remaining schools is about 3,500. As for the number of soldiers not being fully staffed, Huangfu Chaobo is not in a hurry at all. There will be a lot of battles in the future, and they can be selected from the surviving guards in the later battles. Huangfu Chaobo believes that after a few battles, these battle camps will be able to be quickly replenished.

Since Anfeng has been incorporated into the hands of the Andong Army, there is no need to arrange the 10,000 guards in the irrigation camp, so 10,000 guards were also transferred to Yulou. In this way, there were 15,000 guards of Huangfu Chaobo in Yulou and Anfeng, 56,000 soldiers in the battle camp, 70,000 guards, and 20,000 civilians, totaling more than 140,000 soldiers and 20,000 civilian craftsmen.

Huangfu Chaobo prepared eight to ten days for the reorganization of the army, and then continued to march south to attack Lu'an.

Lu'an is a central city, and its location is quite special, because once Lu'an is occupied, it can directly threaten the safety of Shouchun, the capital of Yuan Shu's army, because the two places are less than 200 miles apart. However, because there are several rivers and lakes between the two places, if you want to attack Shouchun, you only need to capture Chengde City in Jiujiang County, and then go north for less than 100 miles, and you can be at the foot of Shouchun.

But the Andong Army had to capture Lu'an again, because Lu'an was stuck on the road where the Andong Army went south to the southern part of Lujiang County. So if you want to control the entire Lujiang area, then Lu'an must be controlled by the Andong Army.

After handing over the army affairs to Huang Zhong and others, Huangfu Chaobo had other things to do. Now that the war was over, Huangfu Chaobo's communication had been unlocked, so he had to deal with the affairs of Xi'anyang in Bingzhou.

Let Zongheng Tianxia notify the people in Bingzhou, and after agreeing on a time, Huangfu Chaobo also entered the alliance channel.

As soon as he entered, Huangfu Chaobo first heard the heartless voice of Xiao Jiejie: ​​"Boss, you finally showed up. I thought you were fighting with Ji Ling again!"

"You kid,

Are you so eager for Ji Ling and I to fight to the death?" Huangfu Chaobo laughed and scolded;

"Boss, I heard that your army suffered heavy losses this time. What are you going to do? Stop for a while or..." Lao Du said on the side;

"You can't stop for too long. It's already June. If Yuan Shu can't be solved before winter this year, it will be delayed until next year, which will be more troublesome." Huangfu Chaobo shook his head: "I am now reinforcing my troops with Kong Rong. Now, with the garrison in Lujiang, there are nearly 200,000 troops. In one or two months, we must capture Shu County, the seat of Lujiang."

As he said, he said, "I estimate that Cao Cao and Sun Ce should start to mobilize troops in the next few days, After all, they have watched the show for so long, and both Ji Ling and I have lost many soldiers and generals. Tens of thousands of casualties are also a serious blow to Yuan Shu's army, so I guess they will continue to mobilize again soon. "

After saying this, Huangfu Chaobo turned to look at the knight and Zhao Zilong and said, "How are you preparing now?"

The two looked at each other, and Zhao Zilong said, "We discussed it and didn't want to give up easily, so we have been preparing. I will upgrade Qiyang to a small city in two days. In this way, it should be able to meet the conditions for becoming a vassal as you said, right?"

Huangfu Chaobo nodded. He had already learned clearly from Kong Jun and others about the conditions for becoming a prince. The most important aspects are two aspects. One is the official position, and the other is the number of city-level territories in the controlled territory. Of course, there are many other conditions, such as the number of people under the jurisdiction, the number of high-level talents, the type of buildings, etc., but these are all details.

For players, official positions are no longer the most important restriction. The biggest factor limiting everyone is the number of territories and cities. If a player is awesome and builds five small cities, then oh Kai, as long as you meet other conditions, you can successfully become a county governor. Of course, there is another small condition that one of the five cities can reach the scale of a county city. In the eyes of the system aunt, since you can build five small cities, then building a middle city should not be a problem.

Another situation is that you are powerful enough to control five counties out of a large county with more than a dozen or even dozens of counties. If other conditions are met, the state government where the county is located has a good enough relationship with you and is willing to recommend you as a county governor and make these five counties a separate county.
