Liu Zhang's eyes kept scanning the generals in the room, constantly struggling with how to distribute the army.

These people are all top generals, and Liu Zhang is really reluctant to send any of them.

In the end, Liu Zhang set his sights on Zhang Liao.

"Wen Yuan."

Zhang Liao immediately walked up to Liu Zhang and bowed his hands to obey the order.

"The end is here!"

"I ordered you to lead the Hanxing Camp to Pingxiang to replace Huang Zhong."

Hearing that it was a defensive task, Zhang Liao was a little disappointed, but he still had no objection.

"The general obeys orders!"

Liu Zhang had already seen Zhang Liao's heart, and then chuckled lightly.

"Wen Yuan, I didn't send you to guard Pingxiang."

Zhang Liao was slightly taken aback, and immediately asked Liu Zhang for advice.

"Please tell the Lord."

"Back then Ma Teng led an army from Zu Li to attack Pingxiang, now we might as well attack Zu Li from Pingxiang!"

With all the soldiers and horses in Wuwei County lost, Liu Zhang naturally couldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

"After replacing Huang Zhong, you can lead the army directly to attack Wuwei. I will lead the army to attack Yuzhong as your support."

Although Wuwei County and Jincheng County border Hanyang County, there are only two roads that can be used as offensive routes due to the mountains.

When Liu Zhang marched into Yuzhong, he could control all the soldiers and horses in Jincheng County. In the same way, when Zhang Liao attacked Zu Li, the soldiers and horses of Wuwei County could not be stolen.

Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard that he had an offensive mission. For generals, only by attacking cities and villages can they reflect their own value.

"The general obeys orders!"

Fearing that there would be some omissions in Zhang Liao's army, Liu Zhang hastened to warn him.

"Wen Yuan, you and Han Xingying are the only ones attacking Wuwei County this time. Don't be greedy for merit!"

"As long as you guard Zu Li, you can block all mighty enemies."

"Your task is not to attack the city, but to protect Hanyang County from the flank."

After years of strength, Zhang Liao has grown from the previous centurion to the level where he can act alone.

However, there is still a certain distance from Zhang Wenyuan, who shocked Jiangdong in history.

Greed for meritorious deeds is always the deadliest problem, but it is also the most difficult temptation for generals to resist.

"My lord, please don't worry, I will always remember my lord's name!"

Liu Zhang nodded and didn't say much more. Generally speaking, he has great trust in Zhang Liao.

"Wen Yuan, after arriving in Pingxiang, ask Huang Zhong to lead the army to Jieting immediately, there must be no mistake!"

The biggest threat at present is not Han Sui, Ma Chao, or the Qiang people who are about to be hostile. Only the Xianbei cavalry is the biggest threat.

Anding County is not under Liu Zhang's control, so it is impossible for the information to be delivered to Liu Zhang without a time lag.

Now that Xiaoguan is destroyed, the Xianbei cavalry may pass through Xiaoguan to raid Jieting at any time.

Once the street pavilion is broken, just like Zhuge Liang's first northern expedition to Qishan in history, the Yizhou army's northern expedition will immediately declare a failure.

At that time, all the armies from all walks of life will be cut off, and the entire Yizhou Group will be wiped out.

Liu Zhang would never allow the incident of Ma Di to repeat itself. He wanted to use Jieting to announce the success of the first Northern Expedition.

"The last general will definitely bring the lord's order to General Huang!"

Zhang Liao was well aware of the importance of Jieting, and immediately made a promise to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang glanced at the group of generals again, ready to select other people who went to Jieting.

Huang Zhong was hand-picked by Lu Su, and Liu Zhang had to make arrangements for the rest.

"Gao Shun listens to the order!"

In the end, Liu Zhang became ruthless and called out Gao Shun's name.

"The end is here!"

"Gao Shun, I order you to lead the trapped camp and go to Jieting to resist the Xianbei army!"

"The general obeys orders!"

Gao Shun is a typical soldier. He has always had only one attitude towards Liu Zhang's orders, and that is to resolutely implement them!

Even if he knew he was going to die, he would have no complaints.

Liu Zhang's eyes were rather reluctance. Gao Shun is currently the strongest unit under his command that integrates offense and defense.

The five thousand camps rely on the blessing of heavy armor and iron shields, which is enough to withstand the impact of any arms.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no dispatch of soldiers and horses, Liu Zhang wanted to keep Gao Shun and let him follow him to Yuzhong to deal with the Qiang people.

But Jieting is so important that Liu Zhang can only reluctantly give up.

"Busy teeth, Wu Gu listens to orders!"

The two barbarians reacted very quickly, and immediately walked out of the team, waiting for Liu Zhang's order.

"The end is here!"

"Wu Gu and Mang Ya, each of you choose 5,000 barbarian warriors, and go to Jieting together to defend against the enemy!"

"The general obeys orders!"

For the defense of Longshan on both sides mentioned by Lu Su, the best defenders are undoubtedly barbarian soldiers who are good at fighting in mountains.

Liu Zhang believes that under Lu Su's proper arrangements, at least Xianbei people will not dare to climb Longshan Mountain and cross Jieting.

After everything was arranged properly, Liu Zhang turned to look at Dian Wei.

"Come on, hand over the defense force that the Wuwei Battalion was in charge of before to Yang Lin, and immediately assemble the Wuwei Battalion!"

"Obey!"

All the soldiers and horses were sent out, and only Zhao Yun and Huwei camp, Tai Shici and Wufeng camp, Dianwei and Wuwei camp, and Zhu Meng's barbarians were left to follow Liu Zhang to attack Yuzhong.

The first three battalions have gone through battles, and the organizational system is no longer complete, especially the Wufeng battalion, which lost nearly 2,000 people in the battle with Han Sui. At present, there are only more than 7,500 combatable soldiers left in the entire battalion.

After the 10,000 barbarians were transferred, there were only more than 18,000 people under Zhu Meng's command.

Now Liu Zhang can mobilize only 45,000 troops!

In other words, in the next three months, no matter how many troops Ma Chao, Han Sui or the Qiang assembled, Liu Zhang would only have 45,000 troops.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang's pressure suddenly increased, especially when he didn't know how many enemy troops he would face in Jincheng County!

"Come on, now we are the worst of the worst, do you have the will to fight?"

Liu Zhang glanced at Dian Wei angrily, and now his wish was fulfilled.

"Hahaha! My lord, don't worry, this time I'm going to Yuzhong, no matter what Ma Chao, Han Sui is still a Qiang, I will twist their heads off and use them as chamber pots!"

Dian Wei's fearless and forthright character really boosted the morale of everyone in the room.

What the Yizhou army is about to face may be the biggest crisis since the war, but the generals are still full of confidence.

Everyone believes that under the leadership of Liu Zhang, they will surely be able to defeat the enemy! Victory will eventually belong to Yizhou.

"Two military advisers, is there anything else to add?"

At present, there is no clear battle, let alone the enemy, so Xun You and Pang Tong have very little room to play.

Out of respect for Xun You and Pang Tong, Liu Zhang still asked.

"My lord's arrangement is extremely appropriate, and I have no objection."

Pang Tong, who always liked to put forward different ideas, had nothing to say, but Xun You frowned, as if he wanted to say something.

"Gongda, just speak freely."

"My lord, we still have more than 20,000 Liangzhou cavalry captives. If we can talk about surrendering Ma Teng, it will be a big help!"
