Zhang Liao sent several horsemen to the west through Renchengguo and Banbi Jiyin, hoping to find traces of Yanbei and offer him his plan.

"What's going on with Cao Mengde, he has been standing between me and the king, can't he give Zhang an excuse not to attack him?" Zhang Liao, who inadvertently gathered the baggage and surrendered troops of the two countries, and the strength of the troops swelled again became more comfortable, listening to the scout's return to the battle situation in the west, Xiang Beiyan smiled and said: "They have withdrawn, leaving a partial division in Shanyang Changyi, can they go?" ”

Bei Yan clapped his hands and laughed: "The general said some time ago that Cao Yanzhou and his subordinate Cao Ren are each other's horns in Liangguobo County and Shanyang Changyi, and it is difficult to deal with each other. Are we and the king each other's horns now? ”

"It doesn't count." Zhang Liao fixed his expression, and said to Beiyan, "Shanyang Changyi and Bo County are only separated by one county, if there is a war, reinforcements can arrive within two days to support each other, if the king wants to uproot the enemy city, he must break any city within two days, this is impossible; But there is a whole county between Ren Chengguo and Jiyin County, and there are still enemy troops, so they can't support each other for five days, and even the scouts can't communicate within two days because of Junozawa, how can this be called each other's horns. ”

However, Zhang Liao himself smiled, "Unless I wait for the army to enter Shanyang now, and the troops in Dongzhi can be combined with the king's army." ”

It was only a few days from Ren Chengguo to Shanyang, and now it is just a choice for Zhang Liao.

"How's the recruiting going?" Zhang Liao asked Bei Yan, and then heard him reply: "I have a clue, this time the two countries have collected the arsenal, and they have obtained the military uniform that can arm 7,000 soldiers, plus the war profits, they can raise enough 10,000 people, and their subordinates have sent military soldiers to go to various villages to recruit troops, and the results will be available in three or five days." ”

Zhang Liao was isolated in the heavy rain in southern Hebei but played a majestic performance to get Yanbei's blue eyes, and with the progress of the war, Yanbei gave him great convenience. For example, if you lead the departments with the supervision of the festival, seeing any general on the battlefield is like Yanbei being in person, even if you need the help of Lu Yi, you can be mobilized by him; In addition, when Yanbei went south to Yan, he was also given a great power to recruit troops freely.

Generals do not have the right to recruit troops, and there are only a few people who have the right to recruit troops freely in the entire north, such as Yandong in Youzhou and Xun Yue in Bingzhou. But Zhang Liao holds such power, which is the only one among the generals.

This gave Zhang Liao the foundation to really lead the army alone, rather than passively facing the main force as a partial division.

"Recruit 15,000 soldiers, if you are willing, Liao is willing to guard the king for you." Zhang Liao said this, and calculated: "The kings of Rencheng, Jibei, and Ludi are dead, and they should be removed from the country, how about it?" ”

If it is someone else, Zhang Liao is very likely to be refuted even if he is on the table, but Beiyan is different, he is a student of Liaodong Academy, he has martial arts and knowledge, and he is enough to take on the responsibility of a county, not to mention that he is still a cronie of Yanbei, so he should have a good chance of success. And after Beiyan became a taishou, it was also of great benefit to Zhang Liao, at least one of the three kingdoms who was a good friend of the Taishou could ensure the safety of his logistics baggage, grain and grass.

Zhang Liao hasn't felt what it's like to have a grain road for a long time, and in the past few months of fighting in Yanzhou, he didn't even have the most basic grain road, and now he thinks about it.

Now this state has finally changed, and the dried meat of Jizhou and the armor and arrows of Youzhou have finally been continuously sent here.

"Thank you, General!"

Taishou and the general are not much worse in Beiyan's heart, because this is the Taishou of Yanzhou! After responding to Zhang Liao solemnly, he smiled a little more easily: "Guo Xin's kid is also lucky, he became the Hanoi Taishou early!" ”

The few people who graduated from Liaodong Academy back then gave very different things. According to Bing Yuan's comments, Guo Xin was both civil and military, and was the Taishou of Hanoi, and then accepted Han Fu's deployment of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Hanoi, with strong strength; Sun Zong liked to make friends and became the envoy of the Yan clan to the princes; Beiyan and Zhang Nian, because of their excellent martial arts and military skills, joined the army, led the guards by Yanbei's side for more than a year, and served as captains.

Zhang crushed to death on the battlefield in Dongjun, and only Beiyan was left in the army.

Zhang Liao smiled and waved his hand, and said to Beiyan: "You don't have to thank me, whether the king will agree or not has to say two." But you don't have to worry, Zhang estimates that even if the king doesn't allow you to be a taishou, you will have to be awarded a miscellaneous general in the future. ”

Although he has only been engaged in Yan's subordinates for a few years, Zhang Liao can still feel what kind of rules Yanbei follows in employing people. But those who have great talents will definitely be awarded high positions, but they may not be in important positions; Most of the faithful will be in important positions, but they may not be in high positions. Those who are both talented and loyal will definitely be in important positions and will not hesitate to reward them.

Now the miscellaneous generals are already honored in the north, such as Zhang Liao's Xiaocai General and Tian Yu's Lou Chuan General, which are all rewards they received after pacifying Goguryeo and Buyeo; In addition to this, there are honors that only those of the past princes can receive. But in the course of this war, the miscellaneous generals will no longer dominate, or rather, the honorable official titles of the North will change.

Let's say Zhao Guoguan.

"Gongtai, you come and see here, if I want to lead the troops here, which road do I need to take?" Chen Gong had just gone to receive the newly delivered baggage, and a few officials holding bamboo slips behind him had just entered the account when they were stopped by Zhang Liao, pointing to Pei Guo on the map and saying: "The road on the map is crooked, what is the reason for this?" ”

"40,000 arrows, enough for Wen Yuan for you to fight a battle. The grain officer said that there are still 100,000 arrows that will be sent one after another, and another 3,000 pairs of large armor and leather armor are allocated by King Zhao for you to supplement the military. Chen Gong didn't rest for a moment, rubbed his hands and went to the brazier and asked, "Where are you going, Pei County?" Wen Yuan wants to attack Cao Cao's flank! ”

There will be no more reasons to go to Pei County, it must be Zhang Liao who plans to attack Liang Guo, otherwise it is okay to go directly to Shanyang County, and there is no need to detour Pei Guo.

"I can't hide anything from you, can the public station feel that it is feasible?" Zhang Liao nodded in response, and saw Chen Gong pointing to the junction of Peiguo, Luguo, Renchengguo, and Shanyang County: "There are one hundred and ten mountains running through the north and south of this place, and the army is not allowed to pass. If Wen Yuan wants to reach Peiguo Pei County, there are two roads, one is to serve as the father of the city state, Shanyang County and enter Pei County, which is about 300 miles long, but this will inevitably meet Cao Jun's soldiers, and lose the grain route again; Second, he sent a strong general to lead the troops to garrison Kang's father, guard the road of Cao's army to the east, personally lead the troops to Rencheng, take Gongqiu, and enter Pei County, which is more than 540 miles long......"

Before Chen Gong's words were finished, Zhang Liao had already turned his head to look at Bei Yan and said with a smile: "Isn't this exactly the strong general of Zhang stationed in Kang's father?" ”
