Since joining the Bingzhou Army, Wei Yan's performance is remarkable, and there are many generals in the Bingzhou Army who can take charge of themselves, but with the expansion of the territory, there are more and more talents in this area.

Hearing this, Wei Yan was puzzled and said: "My lord, now that the east of the river is stable, the thieves and others in the land have long disappeared under the front of the army. ”

"Didn't Wen Chang think that Hedong is very stable now?" Lu Bu looked slightly disappointed.

Wei Yan was silent for a moment and said, "In the opinion of his subordinates, the biggest threat to Hedong at this time comes from Cao Jun. ”

Hearing this, Lu Bucai nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Wen Chang continued. ”

Seeing this, Wei Yan's heart settled down a little, Lu Bu handed over Hedong to him, which shows his trust, if Lu Bu is unhappy because of some small omissions, it will be extremely detrimental to future progress.

"Now that the lord occupies the land of Chang'an, the princes must be uneasy, and the first to bear the brunt must be Cao Cao, who sent troops from Hangu Pass, but he can attack Luoyang in a few days, but at this time, Cao Ren, the general of the Cao army, is in Henan Yin." Wei Yan said.

Lu Budao: "Wen Chang, the situation of the current merger is several times more complicated than you think, not only Cao Jun, Jingzhou and Jizhou, I'm afraid they will all take action this time." ”

Wei Yan's face changed greatly when he heard this, he was very confident in the Bingzhou army, but it was unbelievable that he was facing so many enemies at the same time.

"Ma Teng and Han Sui sent troops to help Benhou pacify the land of Chang'an, but Ma Teng occupied Longguan, intending to threaten Benhou, and the envoys of the princes exchanged with each other.

"Ma Teng, dare to do this." Wei Yan was immediately angry, Wei Yan still appreciated the matter of Ma Teng leading the troops to help, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Ma Teng would do such a thing.

"Wen Chang, as a general, you can't be angry easily, you should start from the overall situation, and you can do better, although the princes are strong, but it is not easy to merge the state army." Lu Budao.

Wei Yan hugged his fist and said yes, the princes jointly attacked the state, it seems terrifying, but in fact, in Wei Yan's view, it is a chicken and a dog, and now the military strength of the state is strong, the princes want to attack the state, they need to break through the Huguan, if you want to enter Chang'an, you must break through the Jiguan, whether it is the Jiguan or the Huguan, it is a pass that cannot be easily broken.

"Rest assured, the last general will not let the enemy army step into the east of the river for half a step." Wei Yan said.

"There is a chief in Hedong, Ben Hou is very relieved, but the chief must remember that it is the way to general, and must not ignore the lives of soldiers because of momentary joy and anger." Lu Bu reminded again.

Then Jia Xu and Wei Yan had a conversation, mainly to mention what strategy Wei Yan adopted in the face of the alliance of princes.

After staying in Hedong for three days, Lü Bu returned to Jinyang.

Looking at the flowery Jinyang and the bustling people, Lu Bu's heart became more firm, everything in the state needs military strength to guard, no matter how powerful the princes' soldiers and horses are, he has to fight with them.

Unlike the stability in the city, the high-level leaders of the state seem to be a little dignified, and from the information obtained by all parties, the situation is extremely unfavorable for the state.

After returning to Bingzhou, Lu Bu immediately summoned Gu Yong and Li Su, and he had to be cautious in the face of the safety of Bingzhou.

After Jia Xu roughly explained the situation, even Lu Bu's expression was a little solemn, what he didn't expect was that all the famous princes in the world participated in dealing with the state, and now the state has become the target of everyone.

"Yuan sigh, tell me your opinion." Lu Bu set his eyes on Gu Yong.

At this time, Gu Yong was in charge of the internal affairs of the state, and he was definitely a top talent in the state, and the war was a competition in materials and troops, in terms of strength, the state army was not inferior to any princes' army, but in terms of grain and grass, the state had its own shortcomings, and the grain and grass were hoarded wantonly, and compared with the princes, it was still a little worse, and if the war lasted for a long time, it would be extremely unfavorable to the state.

Once the war starts, it will be difficult for the princes' merchants to enter the state, and without the support of the merchants, there will be a large number of people in the state who will find it difficult to find things to do, and the princes will definitely restrict the grain and grass, and the state is not short of money, but without grain and grass, even if there are tens of thousands of troops, there is only a ruin on the way.

With the danger of Huguan, the princes' armies need to pay a great price if they want to attack and merge the state.

Gu Yong sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Now the grain and grass in Bingzhou are enough for the needs of the army for a year, if the war lasts for a long time, you can buy grain and grass from the hands of the people, and now our army occupies the grassland, if you can transport the cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland to the Bingzhou army, it can also greatly alleviate the problem of grain and grass, the potatoes in Hanoi have been transported to Bingzhou, and the soldiers in the army do not reject the potatoes, so that the grain and grass of our army will definitely be able to support for another half a year." ”

Lu Bu nodded, Gu Yong was a qualified manager who could give full play to the advantages of the state to fight against the enemy.

"Tell Pang De and Cao Xing to escort the cattle and sheep to Bingzhou as much as possible to serve as grain and grass, and remember to give them a reasonable price." Lu Budao.

"Lord, if the princes send troops to merge with the state, Hanoi will definitely be unstable, unlike the annexation of the state, Hanoi has no danger to defend, so make plans as soon as possible." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu nodded, Hanoi is rich, there is no doubt about this, but under the soldiers of the princes, it is not easy to hold Hanoi, and the state army is strong, and the soldiers and horses of the princes who have been in war for a long time are not weak, once the princes' soldiers and horses occupy a huge advantage in numbers, relying on the city will not have the desired effect.

"Order Xu Huang to do his best to move the people to Hedong or Sanfu, and to know the people well, not to be reckless."

One order after another was quickly conveyed from the state governor's office, and the cavalry in the city who were constantly running to various places added a cloud to Jinyang.

"Now there are 30,000 soldiers and horses near Bingzhou, and the generals of all departments are ordered to select elite soldiers from the standing army and fill the army, increasing the number of soldiers to 40,000, and the defenders from all over the country began to move to Jinyang, and when the defenders from all over the country went to Jinyang, they solved the problem of grain and grass by themselves." Lu Budao.

And the state for the local taxes, given a very generous policy, basically the grain and grass are hoarded everywhere, only when the war is tight will be transferred, this is also to avoid the consumption of grain and grass on the way, with Jinyang's financial resources, to bear the army of Jinyang is more than enough.

"My lord, my subordinates expect that the number of soldiers and horses gathered in Jinyang will reach 50,000." Jia Xu said.
