Han Dao world

Chapter 322
Zhang Liao led his troops to the front, and beside him was a young Hun knight who claimed to be surnamed Li, and was named Pharmacist because of his proficiency in medicine.Speaks fluent Chinese, except for a little Hun accent, there is not much difference from Han people.

He naturally acted as an interpreter, communicating with Zhang Liao on behalf of others.

During the march, Zhang Liao asked him about the living conditions of the Huns resettled in Xihe County.

The emperor arranged for the Huns to accompany the army as guides. Zhang Liao was suspicious and wanted to know whether and how much these Huns could be trusted.

Although he didn't fight with Ding Yuan for a long time, he still understood the nature of the Huns.Talking to them about faith is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.As long as the situation is unfavorable, they may switch camps at any time and become enemies.

As for the family, it cannot be said that it is not useful at all, but it is certainly not as important as the Central Plains people.

Zhang Liao was very worried that the emperor was too young to judge others by himself, and thought too much of the Huns.

Talking about the life in Xihe, Li Yaoshi became energetic and joyful.

So did his companion, talking and laughing.Some people even thought about the bright prospect of moving to the inner county in five years, and they were happy like fools.

"General, is the inner county rich?" someone asked Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao didn't know how to answer.

Compared with Bianjun, Neijun must be much richer, with more arable land and good water and soil. Even the Henan land, which was regarded as a treasure by the Huns and Xianbei, was not outstanding in the Central Plains.

It's just that when he thinks about the successive years of war in the inner county, he really can't boast.

In contrast, Bianjun is more peaceful.

Although there are wars every year, the Huns and Xianbei often come to rob, but the Huns and Xianbei don't kill people easily. If they can be captured as slaves, they are still more willing to rob.

For the people in this area, it is nothing more than changing the object of tax payment frequently and paying more.

Compared with the frequent massacres in the Central Plains, it doesn't seem to be that bad.

"The Central Plains is very rich, but it's not peaceful now." Zhang Liao said vaguely.

"I know, I know." A Hun knight said repeatedly.

"Know?" Zhang Liao looked at the Hun knight in surprise. "how do you know?"

"The knights stationed near my house said that the Central Plains has not been peaceful recently. First, there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, then there was the change of the two palaces, and then Dong Zhuo's political chaos, and he will have a peaceful life in a few days." Li Yaoshi took the topic and spoke eloquently. And talk. "That's why the emperor made a great wish to use Bingliang as the foundation to bring peace to the world and restore peace."

"Really?" Zhang Liao pondered for a moment, feeling inexplicably excited.

Similar words, he has heard some rumors, but he doesn't really believe them.

Unexpectedly, the Huns also knew about it. It seems that this is not a secret, and it should be true.

Thinking about it carefully, this is also in line with the status quo.Most of the soldiers under the emperor's command are from Liangzhou. Now they are in Bingzhou, and they will definitely recruit more Bingzhou people to join the army in the future.

Zhang Liao had an idea in his mind.

When camping at night, Zhang Liao reported the news to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu let out an "oh" after listening, but didn't continue.

Wei Xu said with a smile: "Wenyuan, work hard. If this is the case, Wenyuan must be a general in the future, and maybe he can fulfill the unfulfilled wish of his ancestors and make some achievements."

Zhang Liao stared at Wei Xu twice, then at the preoccupied Lu Bu, and pondered for a moment.

"I do have such thoughts."

The smile on Wei Xu's face suddenly froze, and he snorted coldly.

Lu Bu also looked at Zhang Liao, his eyes gradually turned cold.

Zhang Liao felt the tremendous pressure and his heart beat faster, but he was unwilling to give up this good opportunity.

"Your Majesty, how many people are there in the Xiliang Army under the emperor's command?"

"I don't know, there should be [-] to [-]."

Zhang Liao shook his head, raised a hand, and turned over. "At least one hundred thousand."

"So much?" Lu Bu was taken aback, and Wei Xu was also stunned.

"The emperor is surrounded by selected elites, and the number is not enough to represent the entire Xiliang army." Zhang Liao picked up a piece of dry firewood and began to write on the sand. "Hedong has Yang Ding, Shangdang has Duan Yan, and Nanyang has Zhang Ji. These three people add up to at least [-] people. Ma Teng has [-] elites here, and at least [-] are in Jincheng. Han Sui has [-] to [-] elites." Going out, there are at least this number of people staying in Jincheng."

"These add up to more than one hundred thousand." Wei Xu couldn't help but shouted.

Lu Bu slapped his hands and shouted, "Shut up and listen to Wen Yuan."

Wei Xu covered his face, but he didn't mind. He stared at Zhang Liao, waiting for him to continue.

Zhang Liao went on to say: "Emperor art pays attention to balance. Since Liangzhou has so many troops, Bingzhou can't be too far behind. If Bingzhou has [-] troops, with the prestige of a monarch, it is the first to serve the court. It should keep pace with General Du Liao , and each has [-] to [-] soldiers."

Lu Bu's eyes also changed.

If what Zhang Liao said is true, he has a chance to become a general with [-] to [-] troops, and at least three or five generals who can command [-] people to fight are needed.

Without qualified generals, even if he is given enough troops, he will not be able to win the battle.

But looking at it right now, apart from him, the only ones capable of commanding thousands of people to fight are probably Zhang Liao in front of him, and Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Cao Xing and others in Chengyi City. It's not a big problem to command a thousand people to fight, but if you go up, it won't work.

The same is true of Zhang Yang, so the emperor reduced his strength and only let him command a thousand horses to guard Chengyi.

If he couldn't guarantee the loyalty of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, he could only become a general who commanded thousands of people in the end, and he couldn't become a heavy general who was in charge of one side.

"Wen Yuan, the Son of Heaven... really have such great ambitions?"

Zhang Liao nodded. "The son of heaven is young, and his ambition may be even greater. At that time, Emperor Gao conquered the Xiongnu and commanded [-] troops. Emperor Xiaowu patrolled the border with [-] troops. Even Wei Huo had more than [-] troops. With manpower and material resources, it is not impossible to gather [-] cavalry to compete with the princes of the Kanto region."

"Two hundred thousand Bingliang cavalry, sweeping the Kanto, it's cool to think about it." Wei Xu slapped his thigh and shouted. "At that time, brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu still dare to ignore us? I will chop him up."

Cao Xing, Song Xian and others surrounded him and nodded excitedly.

During the trip to Kanto, I was aggrieved too much.If you can call back, it would be really cool.

This was especially true for Lu Bu, his face gradually flushed, and the hand holding the cup became tighter and tighter.

"So, the Son of Heaven's persuasion to study is definitely not a joke." Zhang Liao said word by word: "The Son of Heaven has high hopes for the Marquis. It would be a pity if the Marquis missed this opportunity."

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao with burning eyes, and a smile bloomed from the corner of his mouth.

He patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder. "Wen Yuan, you are so right. Books must be read. If you don't read books, how can you master thousands of horses and run the world?" He said to Wei Xu and others: "Do you think this is the truth? "

"Yes, yes, yes." Wei Xu and others echoed repeatedly, nodding like chickens pecking at rice.

"But...we can't read, how can we read?" Cao Xing said timidly.

"Yes, what should we do?" Lu Bu also asked.He can read, but it is also limited, so it is not practical for him to teach Wei Xu and others to read.

"Did you forget Chen Gongtai so quickly?" Zhang Liao was stunned. "He is a man of great learning, and he is familiar with military books and war strategies. Teaching me to read is not a trivial matter."

Lu Bu clapped his hands vigorously as if waking up from a dream. "Yes, he must never be allowed to return to Kanto."

Wei Xu rubbed his hands. "Yes, if he really wants to go, break his legs."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu flew up and kicked Wei Xu a foot away. "If you dare to move a finger of him, don't blame me for turning my face."

The generals laughed and there was joy in the air.
