Chapter 429 Transfer
"After General Gongsun led his troops to retreat, Yuan Benchu ​​transferred two-thirds of the troops in the Yishui area to the southern part of Jizhou, and stationed them in Weixian, Ganling, and Nanpi." Zhao Yun talked about the recent changes in the situation in Jizhou.

"It seems that Jizhou is very worried that we will attack Yecheng directly." Yang Ji said, otherwise Yuan Shao would not have chosen to deploy heavy troops in Wei County.

"By the way, what arrangements have Lord Xuande and his men made for me? Do they want me to go back and take charge of the overall situation, or continue with my strategic planning?" Yang Ji asked about Liu Bei and his men's arrangements for his army.

Although he felt that the current situation in the north did not require him to be transferred back to take charge of the overall situation, Guan Yu, who was originally stationed in Chenliu, Yanzhou, also entered Yuzhou to pursue the remnants of Sun Wu. It seemed that no one on the entire front could stop the Jizhou army led by Ju Yi.

It's not that Yang Ji underestimated Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals, but Ju Yi's military command ability would be difficult to suppress without the command of a large army. Two or three decisive battle arms in a super battlefield with a total force of more than 400,000 cannot be said to be completely ineffective, but the effect they can play is not very significant.

"According to the strategic plan of the people in the Government Affairs Office, you continue to implement your current strategic plan and take over Yangzhou, Yuzhou and Jingzhou." Zhao Yun glanced at Yang Ji's expression, which did not change at all, and then said: "The commander-in-chief of the northern battlefield is the lord, the military advisor is Zichuan, and the general commander is Yunchang."

At this point, Yang Ji's expression finally changed a little, "Why is Lord Xuande the commander-in-chief?" Yang Ji had no idea about other arrangements, but he thought that letting Liu Bei be the commander-in-chief was too hasty.

Although Liu Bei was a man who had cultivated internal energy out of his body and was therefore difficult to be harmed on the battlefield, and his personal guards would not let Liu Bei get hurt at all, no one could predict what would happen on the battlefield, especially in a world where willpower could distort reality, and explosive species did exist.

"We have also advised him, but the lord insisted on serving as the commander-in-chief, and we had no choice." Zhao Yun felt a little heavy-hearted. He did not expect that Liu Bei would actually want to serve as the commander-in-chief of the northern battlefield.

It’s not that I think Liu Bei has developed any inflated ideas. After all, Liu Bei knew the limits of his abilities very early on. So Liu Bei wanted to be the commander-in-chief, most likely because he wanted to give the army a layer of willpower and make him a mascot or something.

Yang Ji was silent for a moment. Giving the army a willpower bless? Did Liu Bei not have a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of his troops? That was a main force of more than 200,000 dual talents. Did Liu Bei need to give the army a willpower bless?

Besides, didn't Chen Xi and other civil officials have any blessings? The solidified Xuanxiang they painstakingly developed was not for viewing, but for fighting.

"What about Zichuan? Didn't he try to persuade Lord Xuande?" Yang Ji suspected that the reason why Liu Bei wanted to become the commander-in-chief of the northern battlefield was because Chen Xi supported him behind the scenes. Otherwise, with Liu Bei's character, it was unlikely that he would run to the battlefield to distract his own soldiers when his side had a great advantage, although it was very likely to boost the morale of the entire army.

"Zichuan, he quite supports the lord's idea." Zhao Yun said helplessly. If Chen Xi hadn't supported Liu Bei's idea, they would have persuaded Liu Bei to give up. However, their plan was ruined by Chen Xi who came back from a walk.

"Is that so?" Yang Ji pondered for a while, then said: "Since this is Zichuan's idea, then I will not object. But when you return to Fenggao, take the Bai Li soldiers back with you. Since Lord Xuande has decided to go to the battlefield, the Bai Li soldiers, as Lord Xuande's personal guards, cannot be absent."

Since there is no way to stop this from happening, let's take corresponding precautions. After all, we can't really force Liu Bei to stay in Fenggao. What would that look like? Liu Bei is the lord of these people. If he really does something like that, how will people in the world look at them?

"But, after the Bai Li soldiers are transferred away from you, the army you command will have no troops for attacking." Zhao Yun hesitated and said, "How about transferring a strong combat force from the north to fill the vacancy of the Bai Li soldiers?" Zhao Yun suggested.

As Liu Bei's personal guards, the Bai Li soldiers were allowed to run around when Liu Bei was not on the battlefield. However, when Liu Bei decided to go back to the battlefield, the Bai Li soldiers had to return to protect Liu Bei. This was their duty and their will to carry it out to the end.

What Zhao Yun was more worried about was that after the Bai Li soldiers were transferred from Yang Ji's army, Yang Ji would have no troops to attack. Although Danyang elites were easy to use and could be used on any battlefield, their balanced attributes also meant that they had no outstanding points. Compared with other top elites, Danyang elites were somewhat less offensive.

"Assault troops?" Yang Ji smiled and said, "I don't need one here. If you want one, I can always form one. One of the advantages of Danyang's elite troops is that they can refresh their talents at any time, and it's a quick process."

Why did Yang Ji bring Chen Dao and the Bai Li soldiers with him? To put it bluntly, he wanted to get some merits for Chen Dao and train the Bai Li soldiers on the battlefield. As Liu Bei's personal guards, the Bai Li soldiers should have the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards even if they don't have Chen Dao's legionary talent.

After hearing what Yang Ji said, Zhao Yun was silent for a moment, and began to reflect deeply on why he was worried about such things for Yang Ji. It seemed that he was still a bit free these two days, otherwise why would he worry about such things for Yang Ji that there was no need to worry about at all?
"Okay, you are the commander-in-chief of the southern battlefield anyway, it's up to you how you want to fight." Zhao Yun said.

"Oh, by the way, I came here to inform you of the changes in the situation on the northern battlefield. You need to find someone else to look after and escort the prisoners here." Zhao Yun said that he came alone to tell Yang Ji that he could not accept the prisoners from Sun Wu.

"We have finished talking about the matter. I have to hurry back to Xuzhou as I still have a lot of things to hand over there. I won't stay here." Zhao Yun knew that Yang Ji was very anxious, but don't be anxious yet, because he is more anxious.

After saying this, Zhao Yun was about to fly up into the sky holding the Night-Shining Jade Lion, but was stopped by Yang Ji. "You have to tell me who will take over from you to receive the prisoners? And have you forgotten about the Bai Li soldiers and Chen Shuzhi?"

"Of course, it will be Wenru who succeeded me in Xuzhou who will come to take over. As for the Baili soldiers and General Chen, let Gan Xingba send a few warships to send them to Donglai, and then let them go directly to Licheng." Zhao Yun mounted his horse and said to Yang Ji, who was holding the Night-Shining Jade Lion and refusing to let him go.

"Okay, I thought you didn't make any arrangements." Yang Ji loosened the reins of the Night-Shining Jade Lion, and as if he remembered something, he pulled the reins again and asked Zhao Yun, "After the Second Master is transferred away, who will take over the battlefield in Yuzhou?"

Zhao Yun took back the reins from Yang Ji's hand and said, "You are the commander-in-chief here, so of course you are the one who makes the appointment. Of course, the premise is that the generals you want to appoint have not been transferred to the fronts of Qingzhou and Yanzhou." "That's what you said, but you didn't give me a list." Yang Ji looked at Zhao Yun and said that he was the commander-in-chief of this battlefield, but he didn't say who could be transferred and who could not.

"This should be General Yu who is stationed in Nanyang. After all, I didn't see General Yu's name on the list of people going to the battle." Zhao Yun said uncertainly. After Guan Yu was transferred away, who would take over the battlefield in Yuzhou was indeed a problem.

However, apart from Yu Jin who was stationed in Nanyang, it seemed that no one could take over the battlefield in Yuzhou after Guan Yu was transferred away. After all, except for Yang Ji who was in charge of the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, and Yu Jin who was stationed in Nanyang to reorganize the Yanzhou army, the rest of Liu Bei's generals had basically been concentrated in Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

Oh, there are also the generals who originally served under Cao Cao, but they cannot become commanders of a field army, at least not at this stage. After all, there are so many direct generals under Liu Bei who have never been commanders of a field army, so how could it be their turn? Let's not think about that possibility now.

"General Yu?" Yang Ji thought about it and felt that with Yu Jin's ability, it should not be a problem for him to command 50,000 troops to sweep across the remnants of Zhu Zhi in Yuzhou.

Although Yu Jin was not yet the commander of a large army and had not awakened his legion talent, the remnants of Zhu Zhi did not have a commander of a large army either. What's more, they had Guan Hai, who was considered a strong man among those who could leave their internal energy, as their partner. He was sure to defeat the remnants of Zhu Zhi and Lu Fan, who could not even leave their internal energy.

"Okay, since it has been confirmed that General Yu will be the commander of the Yuzhou Front Army, I will leave first." Zhao Yun was relieved when he saw that Yang Ji did not object to Yu Jin becoming the commander of the Yuzhou Front Army.

If Yang Ji opposed Yu Jin becoming the commander-in-chief of the Yuzhou Army, Zhao Yun really would not know which of the remaining generals could serve as the commander-in-chief of the Yuzhou Army.

After all, Yang Ji was the highest military commander under Liu Bei, and this kind of front-line commander had to be reviewed by Yang Ji. Although Liu Bei could also appoint him directly without going through Yang Ji, Yang Ji would not have any objection.

But under normal circumstances, even Liu Bei, who had this power, had to discuss it with Yang Ji. After all, Liu Bei did not think that his ability to select generals was better than that of Yang Ji, the alternative military god.

"Let's go, let's go." Yang Ji waved to Zhao Yun who had turned around. There were still a lot of things to do next, so it was better not to waste the time of both parties.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want you to remind Wenhe. Ask him to pay attention to the intelligence from Bingzhou. If he doesn't understand, you can ask him to give the information to Zichuan. There may be someone behind the invasion of the northern barbarians to the south." Yang Ji finally remembered what he had forgotten just now.

"Whoa!" After hearing Yang Ji's words, Zhao Yun landed in front of Yang Ji again, "Zi Yu, please explain it clearly." Zhao Yun jumped off the saddle and held Yang Ji's shoulder and said.

Yang Ji sighed and said seriously, "I'm not sure about the northern tribes invading the south, but I am sure that a storm from the old times is brewing deep in the grassland. Let them collect more intelligence from deep in the grassland, especially intelligence about the old enemies of the Han Dynasty."

"The old enemy of the Han Dynasty..." Zhao Yun was silent. He really didn't expect that the invasion of the northern barbarians to the south would involve this thing that had already been buried in the ground.

However, he was not shocked by the resurgence of the Northern Huns. After all, the Han Dynasty had made the final judgment on the Huns many times, but the Northern Huns still jumped out from time to time to show their presence.

Cao Cao and a few others who were listening on the side were already confused. What the hell was going on? How come so many things suddenly popped up, and they even involved the affairs of the Northern Huns.

Cao Cao now still suspects that his buddy Yuan Shao was deceived by the Northern Huns. Although nomadic people like the Huns are not known for their wisdom, the Huns have been able to fight with the Han Dynasty for so many years, and they would resurrect from time to time. God knows how much strength the Huns have left.

Cao Cao couldn't help but take a breath when he thought that his friend might have been plotted against by the Northern Huns because of collusion with foreigners. Cao Cao couldn't help but make up charges for his friend - laugh.

Zhao Yun took a deep breath, "I will remind them of this matter. If..., never mind, let's investigate the matter thoroughly first." Whether Yuan Shao was involved in this matter or not still needs to be carefully investigated. If so many outstanding civil and military officials were to be buried for this, the loss would be too great.

"Are you sure you have nothing more to say? I'm really leaving this time." Zhao Yun climbed onto the saddle again and asked Yang Ji. Since this was related to the Northern Huns, he had to go back quickly and report the matter to Liu Bei, Chen Xi and others.

"Gone, this time it's really gone." Yang Ji said with a wry smile. He didn't want to follow his father's example. After all, in Yang Ji's impression, the Northern Huns would not appear for another two years, so he would inevitably ignore them subconsciously. Moreover, the current Han Dynasty was not the torn apart Han Dynasty in official history.

Zhao Yun took a serious look at Yang Ji, and after making sure that this guy really had nothing else to do, he rode up into the sky on the Night-Shining Jade Lion. He flew slowly on purpose, fearing that Yang Ji might suddenly remember something.

After crossing the river on the Night-Shining Jade Lion, Zhao Yun looked back at Yang Ji and made sure that Yang Ji did not call him again. Zhao Yun could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he patted the horse's back and increased the speed to the maximum. He turned into a white lightning and headed straight for Fenggao. After explaining things clearly to Chen Xi and the others, he would return to Xuzhou to deal with the rest of the matters.

"Zi Yu, do you really have nothing else important to say to General Zhao?" After seeing Zhao Yun turn into lightning, Chen Qun could not help but ask Yang Ji. It would be better to remind him again, what if there is really something important?
