The battle of Donglai, almost made the originally unknown Houqian completely known to the world, at least his name is well known to many princes, people know that he defeated the Jizhou army, and they know that Liu Lan has suppressed him several times over the years, and there is no way to take him, more and more people began to pay attention to Yuan Shao's intelligence on the bandits in Qingzhou, especially Cao Cao.

However, compared to Cao Cao, Liu Lan had a sense of schadenfreude, he originally wanted to spend the money from the mountains, but he didn't expect to be blessed by misfortune. According to Liu Lan's original idea, in fact, although the damage that the internal guard can cause in Qingzhou will also have some momentum, it is definitely not comparable to the current Houqian joining, if there is no Houqian, Liu Lan's initial decision can only make the Jizhou Army disgusting at most, but now with the addition of Houqian, it will make the Jizhou Army become anxious.

The purpose far exceeded Liu Lan's expectations, and even because of the appearance of Houqian, Jizhou indefinitely postponed the pace of the attack on Xuzhou, on this one, Liu Lan even considered whether he could let the internal guards get in touch with him, he could give them some help in materials, of course, only in terms of food, grass and clothing, weapons are absolutely impossible.

However, after Qian hid in the mountains, this hope was completely shattered, he could only continue to be his spectator, paying attention to the Donglai battlefield, but the Liaodong battlefield, Liu Lan's order has been conveyed, and Xu Huang has actually had a lot of pressure over the years, he always felt that it was because he failed to arrive in time that Gongsun Chan was defeated, this matter made him linger, plus he is now two lieutenants, Yan Zhi is fine, but Tian Yu has been waiting for the opportunity to avenge Gongsun Zhan, and now Liu Lan's order is conveyed, However, no matter how many difficulties there are, no matter whether Donghu has made any changes or not, it is impossible to change the determination of Xu Huang and even Tian Yu.

For this reason, Tian Yu even canceled the matter of preparing for Kou in the autumn and handed it over to the deputy general Wu Ke, and he found Xu Huang and asked him to follow Xu Huang to Youbeiping, Xu Huang did not immediately agree, but he did not refuse, many things need to be considered, but one thing is very clear in his heart, that is, the trip to Youbeiping is bound to win.

But how to fight this battle, how big the scale should be, this matter needs to be considered, if he can make decisions about such things by himself in the past, then the current situation is obviously different from the past, there is already a military general of the same level as him in Liaodong.

Although in terms of commanding operations, General Chen Duan did not have any right to speak, but his existence was first of all before the war, and he had great rights in the deployment of the campaign, and secondly, when the war was in progress, he accompanied the army as a staff officer, so his identity seemed to be very large, but it seemed insignificant, at least he had no rights during the battle, but when formulating the battle plan, he had the same rights as him, the governor of Liaodong.

Fortunately, the two have not had any disagreements so far, to be honest, Xu Huang is still very capable in dealing with interpersonal relationships, if it were Guan Yu, I am afraid that there would have been a problem a long time ago, but it can be replaced by Xu Huang, a person who can work with Guan Yu peacefully, and even become a mentor and friend in the end, and Chen Duan, a military general who seems to have come to divide power, there will be no suspicions.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is not very familiar with the situation in Liaodong, so many things are more based on asking for advice, but with the familiarity with the situation in Liaodong, the two have become more and more tacit, and the rarity of them has become more and more prominent.

And the most important point is that no matter how strong Xu Huang's ability to command the army is, he is born in the army after all, and in some aspects, he has some of his own shortcomings, and he will not look at the problem as clearly as Chen Duan, just like during the Battle of Yijing, if Chen Duan is there, then the result will be different, so Chen Duan's existence is more to improve some of Xu Huang's plans and be foolproof.

Of course, anything can only be on the surface, the so-called 100 dense and one sparse, many problems are not customer service if you want to customer service, and even in some cases, it will exceed expectations, but this is all a later story, but now with Chen Duan, Xu Huang and he can be as perfect as possible when making a plan.

The plan was properly discussed, this time the defense of Donghu was in charge of Yan Zhi, Wu Ke, Li Xiang and others, and Xu Huang and Zhen Yu led 10,000 Liaodong troops into Liaoxi and Youbeiping respectively to attack and harass, this time because of Chen Duan, even if Donghu came again, it was impossible to stop Xu Huang's determination to attack Youbeiping and Liaoxi, not to mention that Donghu really didn't have that strength now, although he always knew that Yuan Shao had a good relationship with them and funded them, but before Chen Duan's suggestion, Liaodong had done its best, especially in autumn, The temperature in Liaodong has become very cold, and it has even snowed in some places, in such a situation, it is a question whether Donghu dares to brave the wind and snow.

The same is true of the situation in Youbeiping and Liaoxi, whether the Jizhou army can resist them is second, the biggest difficulty is actually the severe cold, but this problem, after the planting of cotton, especially the cotton clothes made by the textile mill and garment factory in Mizhu for the Liaodong Army, it is no longer a problem to resist the severe cold, even if the snow covers the mountain, it can still move forward bravely.

It is with such confidence that Xu Huang dares to go to Youbeiping in such a climate, otherwise, even if Liu Lan gives the order, it will be said after the beginning of spring, is it difficult to let all the troops freeze to death?

Today's Xuzhou Army, which is really equipped with cotton clothes, is actually the Liaodong Army, but after all, it is the era of cold weapons, so the infantry only plays a role in keeping out the cold on weekdays, and can train in winter, and the armor will not be worn, of course, if there are really people who don't know whether to live or die, then they can only change into battle armor, but when they come to invade the territory in winter, unless they are fools, no one comes, so the infantry does not need to worry about any winter combat.

And the cavalry, they are not like the Guards, they need to be equipped with dragoon armor, they wear leather armor in summer, and in winter, they just change the leather armor into cotton clothes, of course, cotton shoes and cotton fur hats, after all, Liaodong lacks everything, but there is no shortage of leather goods, the price is cheap, and even Liu Lan went to the ready-to-wear store to let Mi Zhu get a set of close-fitting autumn pants out.

In this case, especially after the heavy snowstorm, even the Donghu Xianbei people Karasuma people had to hide in the yurt room to warm up and did not dare to go out of the room for half a step, but it was no longer a problem for the Liaodong army, as for the people of Youzhou, it was even more so.

In the past, every winter, from the right Beiping all the way to the east of several counties, unless there is that kind of rare good weather, otherwise the common people are almost closed, eating are stored in the autumn meals, this situation is almost no different from hibernation, is too cold, and the following heavy snow, heavy snow closed the mountains and closed the road, at most in the county to go to the market, out of the city, can not walk a few miles to return, otherwise it will be frozen to death.

But now, the severe cold of Liaodong is nothing to the Liaodong cavalry, if it weren't for the fear of cotton clothes and other things leaking out, Liu Lan really wanted to spread among the people as soon as possible, but now he can only let the ready-to-wear stores in Liaodong produce all kinds of leather clothes for the people, but these clothes are not only expensive, but the warmth effect is actually difficult to compare with cotton clothes, it is not strong in popularity, but cotton hats, autumn clothes, autumn pants and cotton shoes are an exception, because the price is not high, it is very popular in Liaodong, and the people almost have a set.

If in the Central Plains, one of the reasons for the most deaths of the people is because of war and hunger, then in Liaodong, from ancient times to the present, it is cold from ancient times to the present, and it is impossible to survive the winter without a good body, but after the vigorous promotion of ready-to-wear stores and the government this year, after the winter of last year, the proportion of deaths is less than half of that in previous years.

Such a gratifying effect, since Liaodong Taishou Sun Qian, a cheer and boiling, in the past every winter if thousands of people will die due to the cold, and this winter, there are less than 100 people, and many of these are because of accidents, such as drunk and fell asleep in the snow accidents, so after determining that cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton shoes and cotton hats do have a great effect on the cold, today to increase the promotion.

This matter was even supervised by Liu Lan personally, and he directly ordered Sun Gan, and the accidental death was another story, but if he was frozen to death, then he would directly blame you Sun Gan, such a strict requirement also made Sun Gan pay special attention to it, and directly summoned the county magistrates, whose county died, then he was removed from the county guard, first of all, he was exempted from your county order. In the end, the county magistrate found the county magistrate in charge of the people's livelihood to test the pressure, and the county magistrate put pressure on the officials and the pavilion, in this case, almost every pavilion, every mile, every household has the county magistrate Xu visited in person, to ensure that there is not only charcoal fire heating in winter, but also food and clothing to keep warm, and even some families are too difficult, directly funded by the county, until this time one by one is completely relieved, patting his chest to the above assurance.
