Chapter 971

Hearing Huangfu Chaobo's inquiry, Xie county magistrate quickly bowed himself and said, "report back to the general. After receiving Li Yang's notice, the lower officer has already started to prepare. It is estimated that he will arrive in the evening, so he has already prepared food in the barracks outside the city. Please rest assured."

"Well," Huang Fu Chao Bo nodded and began to eat instead of talking more. A group of civil and military officials will see that he has already begun to eat, and they all start to eat in silence.

Soon after everyone had finished eating, Huangfu Chaobo put down his bowl and chopsticks, took another bowl of tea, and drank two mouthfuls of it. Then he stopped contentedly. Seeing that Huangfu Chaobo had finished eating, for a moment, all the people put down their bowls and chopsticks no matter whether they were full or not.

Seeing this, a few children were ready to put down their chopsticks. Huangfu chaobolian said busily, "if you continue to eat, you should be satisfied. Don't worry about me. I guess you've never been so tired!" Then he turned to all the people in Wei county and signaled that they would continue to eat. They all showed that they were full, and Huangfu Chaobo didn't insist.

After a short rest, Huangfu Chaobo said: "this tour of Hebei has no other meaning. It's just that in the past two years, our Anton army, oh, now it should be said that the East army has been fighting constantly, and there will not be much time for internal affairs to take care of it. Therefore, we have to make use of this period of time two years ago and two years later to make a tour of various places, so you don't have to be nervous Any problems and difficulties can be put forward to Ben Jiang, who will solve them as appropriate. If they can't be solved, they will be given a reason. "

Wei Prefecture is Zhu Hao. After Cheng Huan was transferred to Beihai prime minister, he took over the post of Wei Prefecture. It has been one or two years now, but he has also dealt with the whole county affairs in an orderly way. Wei Prefecture was originally a big county in Jizhou, and Han Fu has withdrawn hundreds of thousands of people from other parts of Jizhou before and after his previous confrontation with Yuan Shao But the city had a population of one and a half million.

Hearing that, Huang Fu Chao Bo shook his head and replied, "there is nothing else important about the affairs in the county. Since Wei Jun left Jizhou and came under the rule of our eastern army, after the World War I with Yuan Shaojun, there has not been much conflict between the two sides, but small friction has been constant."

"Did the soldiers lose much?" Huangfu Chaobo asked;

"the soldiers didn't lose much, but the people in the four outer cities were slightly affected."

Huangfu Chaobo discovered that it was a troublesome thing to have too many people. However, it seems that under his own rule, except for Donglai in Qingzhou and Hongnong in Sizhou, the population of other counties is about one million, but it seems that the population of those two counties can not be increased too much. It seems that it is time to speed up the pace of expansion.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo looked at Zhao Yun again: "how is the army?"

"In Longxiang camp, Zuo Xiao, a deputy general, led a school soldier to Handan, and Liao Du, another school captain, led a school soldier to Weixian county. The other three schools soldiers were stationed in Yecheng, led by their own generals. They thought that they would be back-up, but Liao Du's ability was limited. He was not afraid that he would be able to face yuan Shaojun's attack alone, so he wanted to ask the general to send another deputy general." Zhao yundao;

as soon as Huangfu Chaobo heard about it, he knew that Liao should be a transferred general trained by himself, and his ability was limited. That's why Zhao yundao said so. After thinking about it, Lu Zhong, Lu Zhi's eldest son, is now under Xu Shu's command, and his ability is not bad. His command of force and intelligence has reached 70 plus, so he said: "Shi ah, send a decree to Luoyang, and transfer Lu Zhong to Wei county He will be the Deputy General of Longxiang camp. Let him guard Weixian county. "

"How are the guards?"

Geng Wu, the commander of Wei County, got up and said, "report back to the general, because Wei county is close to Yuan Shaojun, so the guards of Wu'an, Handan, Chiqiu and Wei county are all 5000 soldiers and 200 cavalry, the guards of Ye City are 20000 soldiers and 5000 cavalry, and the guards of other cities are 3000 soldiers and 100 cavalry."

After thinking about it, Huangfu Chaobo said: "the cavalry of the four cities of Wu'an has increased to 1000, and the infantry of the other cities have expanded to 5000. It must be expanded before the end of this year."

All the people present except Zhu Hao, Zhao Yun and Ju Shu were surprised. Could Jizhou go to war again? Everyone's face changed when they thought about it. However, Huangfu Chaobo didn't say anything, and the others didn't have the courage to ask.

The changes of all the people present were in the eyes of Huangfu Chaobo, but there were many people here, and now is not the time to tell them.

"Is there anything else? If there is nothing wrong, let's all step back and have a rest. Tomorrow we will start to inspect the cities. "

After hearing this, they all got up to answer the promise. After a salute, they all left the hall. But Zhu Hao quietly fell to the last to leave, waiting for the hall most left Huangfu Chaobo and pangtong several military strategists, and to Huangfu Chaobo said: "Lord, I still have something to report!"

Huangfu Chaobo was about to look at a group of children and wanted to ask them how they felt in the past two days. After listening to Zhu Hao's words, he quickly looked back at him and said, "elder martial brother, what else can I do for you?"

"Lord Hui, yesterday I met the envoy of general Ying in the disaster. I want to ask him to come to Weijun for a talk. I think they want to make an alliance with our army. Because I have received the news of general Ying's inspection of Hebei, I didn't send it to Luoyang. Would you like to meet Zhang Yan?"Huangfu Chaobo a listen, Zhang Yan want to see himself, want to alliance?

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo looked at Guo Jia and said, "what's the situation of Zhang Yanjun now?"

As a military strategist in charge of intelligence, Guo Jia was quite clear about the situation of the major forces in the world. When he saw Huangfu Chaobo and asked himself, he immediately asked Shi a to help open the map of Jizhou and introduced him to Huangfu Chaobo: "Zhang Yanjun is still in the north with his back on the Taihang Mountains. He sticks to Zhending, Gaoyi, Luancheng and Bairen. As for Jiumen and Pingji, they are in yuanshaojun and Pingji Zhang Yanjun and his two armies kept changing hands, and almost all of them were in white. "

"Today, Zhang Yanjun has nine cities with a population of about 1.5 million, of which the number of soldiers and horses ranges from 150000 to 200000."

"Nine counties can support 1.5 million people and 200000 troops?" Huangfu Chaobo could not help but be surprised and asked: "fengxiao, do you remember correctly?"

It's no wonder that Huangfu Chaobo was surprised to know that these counties of Zhang Yan are basically located in the back of Taihang Mountain. Except Zhending four cities belong to the plain area, the other five cities are basically in the hilly area. Zhending four cities are behind the front lines of the two armies. If you don't pay attention, they will be covered by war. I really don't know how Zhang Yan feeds so many people and soldiers.
