Beginning with Deng Mao's invasion of Quanzhou, after three major battles, Li Pengfei's army captured nearly 70,000 prisoners. Li Pengfei also put a lot of thought into the handling of these prisoners.

Most of the 70,000 Yellow Turban prisoners were young and middle-aged.

According to Yue Fei's suggestion, Li Pengfei selected some of the 70,000 captives with the best physical condition and built a new infantry unit with a number of 20,000.

In this era of cold weapons, the infantry is the protagonist on the battlefield. And cavalry is basically rare, especially in Han areas. Although Li Pengfei raised 5,000 cavalry in one go, some of these war horses were actually not suitable for war horses, that is, he could not find more war horses in a short period of time. It can be said that these more than 5,000 war horses are all the horses he has been able to collect in the past two years or so. It is difficult to further expand the size of the cavalry.

As for the remaining 50,000 captives, Li Pengfei settled all of them in Quanzhou and carried out Tuntian.

Today's Quanzhou is really vast and sparsely populated, with an area of more than 4,000 square kilometers, and 95 percent of the place is plain, but only 100,000 people, so it is full of wilderness.

And now it is the end of April, that is, around Xiaoman in the 24 solar terms, although the planting of summer crops has been missed, it is time to prepare for the planting of summer sowing and autumn harvest crops.

Li Pengfei carved out a large area of wasteland at the confluence of the Gu River and the Juma River for the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army captives to reclaim. This area is a freshwater swamp area with a dense network of rivers, and no one lives here. But with proper remediation, those swamps can be converted into fertile farmland.

50,000 people, a total of 1 million acres of land have been reclaimed. In the Han Dynasty, six feet was a step, and a hundred steps were acres, and one foot was equivalent to 0.231 meters today, and the area of this acre was about 465 square meters. The total area of one million acres is as high as 465 square kilometers. So, in general, the area of newly reclaimed land is still not small.

As long as there are no major natural disasters this year, Li Pengfei believes that the harvest in these lands will certainly be very good.

Since the beginning of Tuntian, Li Pengfei has put his main energy on this matter. He has no internal affairs talents under his account now, and he has no choice but to find someone to preside over this matter, so he can only roll up his sleeves.

Li Pengfei gave Yue Fei carte blanche to the training of the infantry. He knew very well that Yue Fei's best skill was training infantry. Later generations were feared by the wild boar skin and lamented that "it is easy to shake the mountains and shake the Yue family's army", which is an infantry unit. In addition, Han Dang was also assigned by Li Pengfei to assist Yue Fei.

As for the cavalry, they now have considerable combat power, and for further training, Li Pengfei can only be entrusted to Guan Yu and the other three righteous brothers. These three are very good at cavalry combat, especially Zhao Yun, who is famous in his division, and has a lot of experience in cavalry training.

And Cheng Pu is still in charge of the logistics of the entire Li Family Army, and even the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, Li Pengfei has temporarily let him manage it.

Of course, although Li Pengfei focused his main energies on tuntian and military training, he did not forget Zhang Bao, who was just a few hundred miles away. In the next half a year, the battle against the Yellow Turban Army is the most important thing. Now he is just letting the army, which has been fighting continuously for more than half a month, take a short rest and recuperate, and make good use of the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban prisoners by the way. While Li Pengfei was busy with these things, he also sent scouts to monitor Zhang Bao's movements in Jixian County.

Of course, after several successive big victories, Li Pengfei did not forget to send an envoy to Luoyang, the capital division, to deliver the good news. Now that he is only a white body, this will be very detrimental to his next actions.

Li Pengfei believed that as long as his good news reached Luoyang, the Son of Heaven would definitely have to express himself, because after all, the few victories he had won were the only victories won by the imperial court since the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

In these troubled times, plans can't keep up with changes.

Li Pengfei originally spent a month and a half training 20,000 newly established infantry units, hoping to make great achievements when Zhang Bao returned from Youzhou to Jizhou. At the same time, he was waiting for the good news from Luoyang, the capital division. However, only ten days after the start of the training plan, that is, one day in early May, the scout came to report that Zhang Bao had sent Zhang Qun, the general of the Yellow Turban, to lead an army of 50,000 to attack Quanzhou.

Li Pengfei didn't know anything about this Zhang Qun, because he didn't have any memory of this person in his memory, so he immediately asked his subordinates to bring the information of the commander of the Yellow Turban Army. This is Li Pengfei's brilliance; he was born in the special forces in later generations, and he is very aware of the importance of intelligence for a war, so he attaches great importance to the building of intelligence departments and the collection of intelligence.

Through the information, Li Pengfei learned that this Zhang Qun can also be regarded as the veteran of the Yellow Turban Army. He was Zhang Jiao's cousin and followed Zhang Jiao as a missionary in Jizhou very early. After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he went to Zhang Bao's banner, as Zhang Bao's deputy general, similar to the role of a military advisor. It can be said that this Zhang Qun is a rare intelligent figure in the Yellow Turban Army.

It seems that Zhang Bao is indeed not ordinary, he must have learned about the failure of the Yellow Turban Army in the previous battles through the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who fled back to Jixian County, all because the generals of the Yellow Turban Army repeatedly committed the taboo of soldiers, which led to several defeats and the loss of 100,000 troops.

And this time, he changed his strategy and sent his own army division to personally command the troops, which reduced the possibility of the Yellow Turban Army's strategy, which in turn led to a total rout.

Moreover, according to the news heard by the scouts, the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army sent by Zhang Bao were all elite troops in the Yellow Turban Army of Zhang Bao's Department, and they were veterans of him and Zhang Jiao when they were in the Julu Uprising.

Li Pengfei was a little worried, he didn't expect Zhang Bao to attach so much importance to him, and as soon as he made a move, he took out his old book. He knew very well that with his current strength, it would be difficult to see the hope of victory, whether in the field or in defending the city.

If there is a field war, unless it is to separate its troops and then gradually encroach, then there is a little hope.

But according to intelligence analysis, this Zhang Qun is a very cautious person, and it is very unlikely that he wants him to divide his troops.

As for defending the city, this idea was abandoned by Li Pengfei as soon as he passed through his mind. His main force now is cavalry, and defending the city is not his specialty. He had 20,000 infantry in his hands, but these troops could not be trusted by Li Pengfei for the time being, because these people were originally soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and coupled with the extreme lack of training, their combat effectiveness was doubtful.

Even, if these Yellow Turban troops turned against the water before surrendering and let the Yellow Turban troops outside the city in, the result would be unbearable for Li Pengfei.

Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei are also scratching their ears and cheeks about this situation, and there is nothing they can do. Yue Fei, Cheng Pu and Han Dang also fell silent.

Li Pengfei shook his head, but he is still a talent. His three brothers, all of whom are generals who gallop across the field, are not good at giving advice. Let them lead their troops into battle to kill the enemy, and there will be absolutely no problem. But let them strategize, then it is really difficult for a strong man.

Yue Fei is similar, he is a good commander, but let him play the role of a strategist, this is not what he is good at.

Cheng Pu's abilities in all aspects are very balanced, but it also means that he is very mediocre in all aspects, and he is not good at strategizing.

As for Han Dang, this guy is similar to Zhang Fei, there must be no problem with letting him go into battle to kill, as for making suggestions, it is better to avoid it.

As for himself, although he can have some ideas, he is not the kind of person who is good at calculation.

Only then did Li Pengfei truly realize how important it was to have a good staff officer.

"Be sure to find a top staff officer of the Three Kingdoms!" Li Pengfei secretly decided in his heart.
