Chapter 340 Lou Ban
When a local war evolves into a full-scale war, the competition is about logistics and economy.

Local victory is no longer that important unless all enemies in one area are destroyed, which is what Zhang He wants to do.

In autumn, a large amount of supplies were prepared, and Sun Li was left to guard Zhuojun, while Xu Miao and Liu Fang assisted Yan Pu in handling military and political affairs.

"Gather the troops and prepare to go out with me!" Zhang He shouted.

After deducting the 5000 new soldiers who stayed behind, he took the other soldiers to the front line. The new soldiers took [-] people with them to guard the place.

During the ten days or so that we were stationed there, we didn't do any idle work. We had to do everything in terms of troop training and preparation.

Yang Lang was sent out to investigate, mainly to target Lu Bu's main force.

If Cao's army can suddenly appear in Pingyuan County, then enemy troops may suddenly appear in other places.

Ye Bu took a group of three people to go out to investigate, covering the entire Youzhou.

If it can still be missed like this... it should be impossible. After all, Zhang He said that if it is really missed, the money will be deducted.

Yang Lang is indeed not short of money now, but he doesn't like being deducted either.

Naturally, I put a lot of energy into this investigation.

After suffering a loss once, the imperial court now attaches great importance to intelligence work.

Naturally, Ye Bu Shu's side expanded to 5000 people. Of course, it is unknown how many people will be left in the end.

"So, Lu Bu and the others are concentrated in Jicheng, and there is no division of troops or other circumstances?" On the way, Zhang He looked at Yang Lang and asked.

"My subordinates have said many times that no other troops have been found, including Shanggu and Daijun who have gone to see them..." Yang Lang replied.

Not to mention that they have been investigated before, now that everyone is still dispersed, any problems will be reported immediately.

It's just that the scope of the investigation is so large, it's inevitable that some things will be missed.

It can only be said that everything within a hundred miles radius is already within the scope of investigation.

If an enemy is really approaching, it's enough to be able to send someone back to report immediately.

Originally, the scouts only needed to go out for four or five miles, and they could not survive more than ten miles.

There are only ten or twenty miles between the two counties. There is really no need to travel that far, especially when you have to cross three or four counties for investigation or something.

"When will the people sent to recruit the governors of the two counties come back?" Zhang He asked.

No matter how small it is, anything that can affect the battlefield must be taken into consideration.

War gamification allows you to determine whether there are enemies within a radius of one kilometer, but only within a radius of one kilometer.

If the enemy is in the front, and an army suddenly comes around behind them, the situation can only be detected by scouts.

The land of China is vast, and precisely because of this, it gives the army enough depth.

A fatal encirclement and suppression can be solved through various detours and long journeys, and the final victory can be achieved.

Whether such a situation will happen now depends on whether people want to do that.

"It's only been the past two days, right?" Yang Lang thought for a while, calculated the distance, and he should have already reached there.

Including the time it takes to deliver the letter, it only takes three or four days to get back.

"Even if the two of them are willing to surrender, this battle is of little significance." Yan Pu reminded them.

Verbal surrender means nothing. If the situation goes wrong at the slightest moment, they will immediately surrender to each other.

"It doesn't matter if they don't surrender." Zhang He said casually, "The point is, we have been in contact with them. As for the subsequent results, it is not their turn."

He was a prefect appointed by Gongsun Zan and did not belong to Lu Bu's lineage.

As long as they do a good job in publicity, it doesn't matter even if they don't directly respond to submit, or even refuse to submit.

"Then why do you still need to send people over to recruit surrender?" Yang Lang was a little confused.

"Didn't I make it very clear before?" Zhang He looked at Yang Lang, "I ask you to send someone to surrender with great fanfare!"

What does it mean to make a big fuss? It means making a fuss so that everyone in the county knows one thing. It is best that the entire Youzhou knows one thing.Finally, he asked Lu Bu if he dared to bet whether these two people would join him?

In the final analysis, the purpose is to avoid the ensuing battle, and the two counties should just stay out of their own business.

"Yes, yes, it happened with great fanfare!" Yang Lang assured immediately.

In fact, only three people went there, how could they make such a big splash?

No, we have to make some repairs and send people over during the break to publicize the situation in the two counties.

No, this is not enough, we need to publicize it in every county!

Looking at Yang Lang's look, Zhang He also knew that the matter was probably not done well, so he really didn't blame himself for asking more questions.

Sometimes, no matter how good your plan is, if the person implementing it has problems, it may lead to failure.

In particular, Yang Lang grew up in the Taihang Mountains. He has some unexpected cleverness, but is careless in some places.

Fortunately, there were no further problems, and Yang Lang quickly made amends. The news that the two prefects surrendered to the imperial court spread quickly in Youzhou.

People who actually went there brought back not very good news, that is, the prefects of the two counties said they should consider it.

They did choose to wait and see, but it was a pity that Zhang He had no intention of giving them a chance to wait and see.

Even if they become angry because of this, it doesn't matter if they lead an army to fight. It's better than having them suddenly rush in while the fight with Lu Bu is getting fierce.

"Why are you here now?" Two days later, the army arrived outside Ji County, where Lu Bu had already formed his troops.

Judging from his appearance, he planned to fight head-on.

He does have this confidence. After recruiting troops at all costs, Lu Bu now has about [-] troops. After deducting the civilians and baggage, there are still [-] to [-] troops.

In comparison, Zhang He's side only had more than [-] soldiers even if the new soldiers were included.

The cavalry is even worse. Lu Bu's side has at least five thousand, and Zhang He's side only has two thousand under Zhang Liao.

Sometimes he even wanted to complain that there was nothing easy to guard in Hanzhong. Even if he had to be transferred, Zhao Yun should be transferred here.

In fact, there was no such thing. It was probably because Liu Bei felt that he had protected Zhao Yun too much, and now things were starting to go wrong.

Therefore, we must give him the opportunity to command the army alone so that he can truly become independent.

It is said that Liu Zhang has declared war on the imperial court, and I don't know who will be responsible for dispatching it.

According to Liu Bei's temper, there is a high probability that he will take the opportunity to capture Yizhou.

"I am a little curious, why didn't senior brother run away this time?" Zhang He looked at Lu Bu, "The agreement before summer is still valid. If senior brother is willing to surrender to the court and accept reorganization, then there is no need for us to continue fighting."

"What about this?" Lu Bu sneered when he heard this, "It just so happens that Lu also hopes that junior brother can come over and accept reorganization. When the time comes, it will be okay to make junior brother the General of the Western Conquest."

In your ruined puppet dynasty, the most valuable things are official positions and titles, right?Zhang He complained in his heart.

"Okay!" Zhang He shouted, "Since senior brother has no intention of surrendering, then just meet the real chapter on the battlefield!"

"Battlefield, yes, battlefield!" Lu Bu looked at Zhang He, "Unfortunately, I am only a witness, your opponent is someone else!"

Speaking of which, thousands of cavalrymen came out from the rear in a mighty manner, and they were all barbarians!

"Zhang He, do you still remember Qiu Liju in the past?" the leading general shouted.

"Oh, is that Qiu Liju who was taken care of by the big man all the year round, but ended up robbing the big man as a thief?" Zhang He replied.

When Zhang Chun rebelled against the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu wanted to let Qiu Liju go, but in the end he designed it himself and killed Qiu Liju.

Speaking of Guan Yu's first bay-red horse, it was still Qiu Liju's mount.

"Qiu Liju is my father Khan!" Hu Jiang shouted, "I am his son Lou Ban, and I am here to avenge you!"

 When talking about Youzhou, of course we have to talk about Wuhuan. The leader of Wuhuan happened to be Qiu Liju's son Lou Ban.

  Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. To put it another way, if there is ready-made cannon fodder, why wouldn't Lu Bu use it?
