Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

At this time, it has been more than half a year since Liu Zhang expanded his army for the second time.

The [-] new troops have basically completed military training. Although they are still far away from the elite, they basically maintain local law and order.

With [-] soldiers, he has basically completed the control of the army. No one in the entire Jingzhao Yin's officials dared to oppose him openly.

The aristocratic family in Jingzhaoyin knew that he was a descendant of the Han family and the authentic royal family, and they also supported him on the face of it.

Liu Zhang's rule in Jing Zhaoyin went smoothly.

Cao Cao's coercive edict was passed to Liu Zhang, and he finally knew that his chance had come.

He knew that his cheap father, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, would refuse to send troops to join the alliance on the grounds that Zhang Lu blocked Hanzhong and the road was impassable.

In this way, although he preserved his strength, he also lost his reputation.

Reputation seems to be a false thing.

It cannot be seen or touched, but it can be measured in people's hearts.

The moment Liu Zhang came to Jingzhaoyin, he had been waiting for this matter, since the Jiaozhao came.

Then, he had no choice but to obey the imperial edict.

When Dong Zhuo was governor of Liangzhou, he had only [-] troops under his command.

After he led [-] vanguard troops including Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou to Luoyang, he sent people across Guanzhong to Luoyang one after another, but Liu Zhang never sent troops to stop him.

It's just that Dong Zhuo made mistakes in Hanyang County, his hometown, and let his son-in-law Niu Fu lead an army of five thousand to guard it.

After these few months, Dong Zhuo had completely established himself in Luoyang and took control of the imperial court before he decided to abandon Hanyang County and take full control of the Sili Xiaowei Department.

The branch of the Yellow River, the Wei River.

There are countless cities and villages on the north and south banks.

Niu Fu led an army of [-], carrying a large amount of luggage, and marched along the south bank of the Wei River in an unhurried manner.

A month ago, he received a message from Dong Zhuo, ordering him to abandon Xiliang and take all his belongings to Luoyang.

Liu Zhang is in Chang'an City, planning to attack Tongguan.

After Dong Zhuo took control of Luoyang, he sent people to take over Hangu Pass and Tong Pass, but because Tong Pass was the rear, he only had a thousand guards.

But even with these thousand people, Tongguan is not easy to capture.

Tongguan is in Huayin County, with Huayin County to the west and Hu County to the east. These two counties are also in the hands of Dong Zhuo. One of them has alarmed them. Their two counties can reinforce Tongguan in a short time.

Huayin County, if you want to go there, you must pass through Huayin County if you want to pass through Tongguan.

And when the army passes through Huayin County, they will definitely send a meteor horse to notify the Tongguan guard.

Once the defender of Tongguan is prepared and wants to capture Tongguan, he will probably pay a huge price.

After thinking about it, Liu Zhang didn't come up with a good idea.

Although there is no topographic map around Tongguan and the distribution of troops is known, it will still cost a lot to attack such a powerful pass.

Now Liu Zhang has only controlled Jingzhao Yin for more than a year, and his soldiers are only [-]. He dare not take this risk.

"Task [-]: Let Niu Fu pass Jing Zhaoyin, and reward [-] stones of food and grass."

"Task [-]: Eliminate Niu Fu's army and reward the Han and Tiger Riflemen with one thousand."

"Mission [-]: Force Niu Fu's army to surrender, and reward the Han and Tiger Riflemen with two thousand."

The sound of the system suddenly rang in Liu Zhang's ears.

Hey, why are there three missions for me to choose this time, didn't I have two missions before!
Liu Zhang felt a little strange in his heart.

He thought about it carefully, and it was definitely more difficult to wipe out Niu Fu's army than to force them to surrender.

Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he will never surrender himself, only by killing him and his confidant generals can the five thousand troops be forced to surrender.

The third task has low difficulty and high rewards, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

"System, I choose task three!"

"The task selection is successful, please complete the task immediately."

"Come here." Liu Zhang immediately shouted to the door after making his choice.

One of the soldiers guarding the door came in immediately. "My lord, what are your orders?"

This soldier is the iron wall shield guard, who is loyal to Liu Zhang, so they can act as guards.

"Immediately send scouts to the west to see if there is any army approaching Chang'an City!"

"Here!" The soldier left, and immediately went to the military camp in the city to convey Liu Zhang's military order. Soon, more than 100 scouts left Chang'an City on fast horses.

After leaving the city, they spread out along Chang'an City and headed west.

One day of fast horses, more than a hundred miles can be done. As expected, after half a day, the scouts found a large army marching eastward in the field, three or four miles along the pipeline, all soldiers.

After the scout found out, he immediately returned along the same route.

"Report!" The scouts entered the prefect's mansion and passed all the way to the meeting hall.

"Report to the prefect, the villain found the army outside Huaili city."

"Keep talking!" Liu Zhang shouted immediately.

"The army is marching through the pipeline, stretching for three or four miles. The army is in front, and the civilian husbands are escorting the luggage carts behind. The villain estimates that there are no less than 5000 people."

"Is Niu Fu the general?" Liu Zhang asked eagerly.

"The villain was afraid that they would find out, so he didn't dare to approach, and he didn't see the handsome flag clearly!"

The scout looked ashamed.

"Okay, reward two thousand, go down and rest!"

"Thank you, Prefect!"

As soon as the scout left, Liu Zhang yelled loudly into the hall again: "Explore again, I want to know who is leading this army!"

Liu Zhang reckoned that this army was probably Niu Fu's army, but he wanted to confirm it carefully.

"Li Fang, Liu Chang, Han Bing, Xue Yong, the four of you go down immediately and prepare, assemble the army, and be ready to fight at any time."

"Here!" Although the four of them had doubts in their hearts, they still stood up and took orders.

Although they didn't know who they were going to fight with, they were all single-handedly picked up by Liu Zhang. No matter who they were fighting with, as long as they made great achievements in battle, they could continue to rise to the top.

In the middle of the night, the second wave of scouts finally returned to Chang'an, and they also brought accurate news that the army that was scouted during the day had the banner of "Bull!"

It seems that it is undoubtedly Niu Fu!
In the early morning of the second day, Li Fang, Liu Chang, Han Bing, and Xue Yong were summoned to the prefect's mansion.

"Li Fang, Liu Chang, Han Bing, Xue Yong, are you ready for the army?" Liu Zhang looked at the four captains who had been promoted by him.

"Reporting to the prefect, I'm ready and ready to go at any time." The four responded in unison.

"Okay, each of you will bring three days of dry food and go out with me!" This time, Liu Zhang spent his money. The four school lieutenants each controlled [-] soldiers and horses, plus his own elite guards, a total of [-] troops.

The [-] army set off from Chang'an City and immediately headed west, and the scouts even went ahead to report the movements of Niu Fu's army at any time.

After they left Chang'an City and crossed the Hao River, scouts reported that Niu Fu's army had entered Xinfeng and was collecting ships.

Xinfeng County is the westernmost county in Jingzhao Yin, close to Youfufeng Huaili, it seems that they want to cross the Fengshui.

The Yellow River branches off into the Weishui River, which runs through the Guanzhong area from east to west, and the Weishui River has many branches running north-south, of which Fengshui is one of them.

If Niu Fu wanted to enter Luoyang eastward and follow the south bank of the Wei River, he had to cross the Wei River, Feng River, Hao River, and Ba River.

Among them, Fengshui runs through Xinfeng County from north to south.
