Chapter 846

Liu Zhang has already decided that if Cai Mao can't get the food and grass by then, he will let Zhao Yun and others go to Jingzhou to plunder.

How much can you grab!

Deng Zhi agrees with Liu Zhang's arrangement very much. After all, there are 20,000 war horses, so you can't be careless!

"Duke Qin, Cai Hao is afraid of Liu Bei's pressure, and wants Duke Qin to flank Liu Bei with him, so I will prevaricate casually."

"Liu Bei..."

Liu Zhang frowned slightly, and he was extremely depressed when he thought of letting Liu Bei take advantage of his loopholes.

"Let's put this matter on hold for now, let's discuss it together later!"

"Bo Miao, your task is to keep an eye on the trade of grain and war horses. These grains are very important to us, and will even affect us for years to come!"

"Be sure to be safe!"

With firm eyes, Deng Zhi nodded heavily.

"Duke Qin, don't worry, I'll go to General Zhao immediately, and when I'm ready, I'll go to Wuguan with the army!"

"Okay, with the two of you, I can rest assured about this matter!"

The combination of Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi, tsk tsk...

After all, they are two people who have cooperated in history, Liu Zhang is still very relieved.

"Bo Miao, the common people must be properly resettled to minimize casualties."

"Obey!"

After arranging the matter of Wuguan, Liu Zhang looked at Wei Ke again.

"Bo Yu, it will be October soon, you should work harder and start the migration as early as possible."

Wei Ke didn't have any objections, and immediately surrendered.

"Duke Qin, don't worry, the emigration will never go wrong! It's just..."

"Just what? Just say it if you have any difficulties!"

Liu Zhang knew that Wei Ke was a man, so there must be something that couldn't be resolved.

"Duke Qin, winter is approaching soon. Every year at this time, the Southern Huns will plunder the counties in Hedong."

"When I was worried about immigration, I happened to meet the plundering Huns."

"They are ferocious by nature. As long as they meet, they will definitely cause huge casualties!"

After Wei Ke reminded him, Liu Zhang remembered.

The Xiongnu occupying Hetao have shown their ambitions, and they have seized all the cities along the Yellow River.

Hetao is divided into three plains: Xitao, Houtao and Qiantao.

Among them, Xitao is near Lian County in Beidi County, which Liu Zhang just won.

Because there are many Huns in Xitao, the Yizhou Army has only recovered Fuping County at the junction of Beidi County and Anding County.

The Qiantao Plain is on the verge of Bingzhou, and then it can go deep into the territory of Bingzhou.

Then Houtao Plain is just above Hedong County.

In fact, the Southern Huns did not plunder the states and counties, and they could survive the winter smoothly.

But since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court has been unable to control them, and Yuan Shao once united with them, making these Huns even more unscrupulous!

Liu Zhang really wanted to completely wipe out this shit Southern Huns, but the current conditions did not allow it!

"Bo Yu, how many Huns usually plunder the east of the river?"

Wei Ji thought about it carefully, and he knew that this number was very important to Liu Zhang.

"Duke Qin, according to the experience of these years, the number ranges from two to three thousand to nearly ten thousand."

Liu Zhang nodded, and began to think about countermeasures in his mind.

These people are very important and must not die at the hands of the Huns.

"Come on!"

Liu Zhang gave an order, and the soldiers at the gate immediately walked into the hall.

"My lord!"

"Tell Tai Shici, Ma Chao, and Pang De to come."

"Obey!"

"By the way, get Pang Tong too!"

"Obey!"

With a population of 450,000 in Hedong County, it is worthwhile for Liu Zhang to send out his luxurious lineup.

It's a pity that the soldiers and horses of the battalions are seriously damaged at present, and there is no time to replenish them. Otherwise, it would not be impossible to go deep into the territory of Hedong and confront the Xiongnu head-on.

"Duke Qin, is General Tai Shici the head of the Wufeng Battalion?"

Seeing Wei Ke's excited expression, Liu Zhang smiled and nodded.

"That's right, it's Wufeng Camp!"

Wufengying has been established for more than ten years, and has already gained a great reputation!

Especially in this battle against the Liangzhou iron cavalry, they frequently defeated the enemy with fewer hits and more, and once again enhanced the power of Wufeng battalion.

Through this battle of Yongliang, Wufengying, which had been silent for many years in Yizhou, completely announced its comeback, and showed its fierce fangs to the princes of the world again.

However, the Wufeng Battalion lost nearly 3,000 people after a series of bloody battles.

Every time Liu Zhang thought of the loss, his heart ached.

It is easy to replenish soldiers now, but it may take several years to form a new combat force.

Especially the Chexuan Formation, within three to five years, it will definitely not be able to use its arms like a finger.

Not long after, Tai Shici, Ma Chao, and Pound arrived one after another, and Pang Tong also came to Weiyang Palace immediately.

"Meet Duke Qin!"

Since moving into Chang'an and Liu Zhang moved into Weiyang Palace, everyone's etiquette has also increased.

Even Ma Chao, who is wild and unruly, is very cautious in front of Liu Zhang at the moment.

Especially in this Weiyang Palace, everyone felt a solemn atmosphere.

"Don't be too polite!"

"I have brought you here because I have a very important matter to entrust to you!"

The four of them kept their eyes on each other, and listened to Liu Zhang's orders with their ears up.

"This is Wei Ji, who is about to take up the post of Jing Zhaoyin. He is responsible for all the population migration in Hedong County and Hongnong County."

After Liu Zhang made a brief introduction, the five people bowed their hands to each other.

"Duke 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 slightly.

"Hedong County has a total of 450,000 people, and migration will be very difficult."

"It is now the end of September. Every winter, the Xiongnu will go to Hedong County to plunder."

"If the Huns meet the migrating people, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Pang Tong nodded with a little understanding, and immediately understood what Liu Zhang meant.

Just as he was about to speak, Ma Chao beside him suddenly became furious.

"What! These damned Huns dare to act so boldly!"

"Duke Qin, don't worry, the general will immediately lead the Jingqi to pick up these Huns' offal, and let the Xianbei people become a lesson for them!"

Ma Chao is still as irritable as ever, but this brave and fierce aura is also very rare.

The Southern Huns now occupy three Hetao areas. After more than 100 years of stable development, the population has reached more than 300,000.

However, the Huns and Xianbei are not the same as the Han people. They are all soldiers, and men are taught to ride and shoot from birth.

Therefore, the Southern Huns were able to mobilize quickly in the state of war, and there were at least more than 100,000 people who controlled the strings.

Now there are only more than 10,000 Liangzhou Jingqi remaining. Even if Ma Chao descended to earth, he would definitely not be able to do anything to the Xiongnu.

"Meng Qiyong is brave, but now is not the time for us to compete with the Huns."

"This time Wufengying and Jingqi followed Bocuo to Hedong. The main task is to protect the people from being killed by the Huns and reach Guanzhong smoothly!"

After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he turned to look at Pang Tong.

In such a time when the enemy's situation is uncertain, Pang Tong, who often has tricks, is undoubtedly the most useful.

"Shiyuan, this time is not a combat mission. I don't want to wipe out many Huns. I only have two requests."

"One is to ensure the safety of the people, and the other is to save 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.

"Duke Qin, don't worry, I must be careful!"

With Pang Tong around, Liu Zhang felt much more at ease, and then turned to look at Tai Shici and the other three.

"Zi Yi, Meng Qi, Ling Ming, the three of you must obey Shi Yuan's orders, and remember not to act rashly!"

"The general obeys orders!"
