In the next few days, Liu Yin has been busy making preparations before the expedition.

Of course, all the preparations were carried out in a secret state, and in addition to Liu Yin's contact with Zhang Shao, even Dong Ju, Jianning Taishou Huo Yi, Shangshu Ling Fan Jian and others who recorded Shangshu did not communicate. Of course, it's not that Liu Yin doesn't believe them, it's just out of the need for confidentiality, the less people know, the greater the success rate of this plan.

This expedition, Liu Yin said in front of Liu Chan that he would mobilize 30,000 horses, this time Liu Yin was promoted to the general of Zhenbei, and he also had the power to command the three armies. The Hubu Battalion and the Tiger Cavalry Battalion belong to the Chinese Army and are personally commanded by Liu Yin, Gao Yuan is still the general of the Tiger Infantry Battalion, and Deng Pu is still the general of the Tiger Cavalry Battalion.

The Yang'an Battalion and the newly established Wudang Battalion formed the Left Army, with Fu Yi as the Left Protector and responsible for commanding the Left Army, Zhang Le as the general of the Yang'an Battalion, and Zhao Zhuo as the general of the Wudang Battalion.

Shu Han's Wudang Flying Army was a well-known and brave army, and it was a force on a par with Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry. After Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, he moved to Nanzhong, and more than 10,000 Qingqiang families were in Shu, which was five departments, and there was no front, and it was called the Flying Army. In the previous Northern Expedition and internal counterinsurgency, the Wudang Fei Army has always been the backbone of the Shu Army, and the siege of Zhang He by Mumendao is the merit of the Wudang Fei Army.

The soldiers of Shu Han are all born in military households, generations of soldiers, Wudang Feijun is no exception, and the soldiers of Wudang Feijun are immigrants from Zhuyi and Qingqiang in the southwest, the people are fierce, brave and good at fighting, they are all wearing iron armor, can climb over the mountains and mountains, such as walking on the ground. Good at using crossbows and poisoned arrows. Unstoppable.

However, the ending of Wudang Feijun is also quite tragic. At the time of Jiang Wei's seventh northern expedition to the Central Plains, in order to cover the withdrawal of the main force, the Wudang Fei Army, under the leadership of the commander Dangkou General Zhang Wei, fought to the death and did not retreat, killing the enemy twice, and finally Zhang Wei and the 5,000 Fei Army died heroically, and the Wudang Fei Army became a swan song since then.

Although the Wudang Flying Army as a whole no longer exists, the soldiers from those who came from the Wudang Army are still active in the various teams of the Shu Army. Repeated military exploits.

After arriving in Nanzhong this time, Liu Yin proposed to Liu Chan to reorganize the Wudang Flying Army. The best thing the Wudang Flying Army is at is mountain warfare, and Liu Yin took a fancy to this point, which made him germinate the plan to build the Wudang Flying Army. After the return, Liu Yin specially sent people to verify the Wudang military households, and specially transferred the children of the Wudang military households who were scattered to various armies and battalions, and recruited all the young people of appropriate age into the army.

Through hard work, the reconstruction of the Wudang Flying Army has been fruitful. Liu Yin organized it into a Wudang battalion, with Zhao Zhuolai as the leader.

The right army is based on the original Yan Yujun. Appropriately supplemented some recruits, the position of the right protector Liu Yin thought for a long time, decided to be appointed by Hu Ben Zhonglang Huang Chong, although Huang Chong is not a brave general, but this person is quite talented in inspiring morale, commanding operations, very strategic, and Liu Yin during the battle of Qingyangpu can be regarded as a tacit understanding, for the right protector of the best choice.

However, Huang Chong was still serving in the Huben Army at this time, under the command of General Dong Ju, not Liu Yin's subordinates, so Liu Yin naturally could not be directly transferred. Liu Chan proposed to call Huang Chong, and Liu Chan agreed, crowned Huang Chong as the general of the Yi army, and transferred Liu Yin, the general of Zhenbei, as the right protector.

As for the two battalion generals below the right guard, Liu Yin also decided to appoint Zhuge Shang, the son of Zhuge Zhan, and Luo Xian, the son of Luo Xian, to serve as generals. Although the two generals are relatively young, their fathers died in this war, Zhuge Shang and Luo Xi have a strong sense of revenge, and they worship Liu Yin's disciples several times, wanting to enlist in the army to participate in the war, serve the country, and avenge their father. Liu Yin appointed the two as Zhonglang generals, who ruled the Yong'an Camp and the White Emperor Camp respectively.

As for the Chinese army, Chen Shou was the main director, Ma Rong was the governor of the account, and He Pan and Du Zhen were used to join the army. He Pan and Du Zhen were the ministers of Shijin after the death of Shu, and now Shu can be said to be a humble and unknown position. He Pan was only a small official in the county at this time, and Du Zhen was just a gong cao of Shu County, Liu Yin knew the talents of the two, and deliberately recruited them to join the army for the general of Zhenbei and enrich them as his staff.

According to the establishment, the six battalions of the three armies under Liu Yin's command have a total of 30,000 horses, but this is only the number of people who eat food and salary, which belongs to the official establishment, but the private troops of the generals are not counted. Because the private army is not in the official establishment of the imperial court, and the food and salary are also given by the generals of the scholar family, there are no less than 1,000 private soldiers in the Anping Wangfu and the Ma family alone, and there are not a few other scholars, a rough estimate is that Liu Yin is under the command at the moment, 35,000 people are only a lot more.

35,000 people were going on the Northern Expedition, and the amount of grain, grass and ordnance needed was also a huge amount, Liu Yin had been committed to this preparation, and had already sent the lord Bo Chen Shou to Hanjia to raise grain and grass.

Hanjia County is the most important place for Liu Yin's Northern Expedition, from Hanjia County all the way to the west, you can see the towering snow-capped mountains rolling and undulating, which is destined to become the starting point of Liu Yin's Northern Expedition, and raising grain in Hanjia County in advance can avoid the burden of Liu Yin's long-distance grain transportation from the south, middle and long distances, as the advance base of the Northern Expedition, it is a top priority to run Hanjia County well.

Of course, Hanjia County was originally high and densely forested, the roads were steep, and the people were sparsely populated, but now they are in the midst of war, and the people are dying and escaping, and it is almost difficult to find a few people alive in the entire Hanjia County, so it is conceivable that it seems very difficult to rely on Hanjia County to provide enough grain and grass to carry it.

Therefore, there must be some materials to complete the collection task in Nanzhong, and the most important thing is how to make warm clothes.

Whether it is Shu or Nanzhong, the climate is pleasant, even if it is the coldest winter wax moon, it is just a matter of adding one or two more clothes, and it is not the turn to need very thick warm clothes like in the north.

But climbing over the snowy mountains, there is an urgent need for a large number of warm clothes, at least one set must be done by everyone.

Therefore, Liu Yin had to sew more than 35,000 sets of thickened clothes to withstand the severe cold of the snow-capped mountains. Sewing clothes is not a difficult task, but now that there are many displaced people, it is not difficult to recruit some homeless people with tailoring skills.

The real problem made Liu Yin feel at a loss, sewing some jackets is not a big problem, but it can't solve a problem of keeping warm, it is extremely cold to climb over the snowy mountains, and you have to use cotton wool clothes.

But where the cotton came from the Three Kingdoms period? (To be continued......)
