Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

In order to prevent other cities from rescuing Anyi, Xu Lai and Yan Xing deployed a large number of scouts on the main roads around Anyi, and these scouts played a role at critical moments.

Xu Lai led an army of [-] and came towards Xu Rong. Sure enough, they stopped Xu Rong outside the city. They stopped Xu Rong and formed a faint siege.

Xu Rong was helpless, knowing that he wanted to return to Anyi, he had to either kill the enemy in front of him, or turn back and take another detour back to Anyi.

Xu Rong thought for a while, and felt that his 6000 men had a chance of winning against the opponent's 1 men, so he ordered the army to charge the enemy.

The two sides launched an encounter on the flat ground five miles away from Anyi City.

Xu Rongnai was a famous general at the time, and his commanding ability was extremely strong. With 6000 men, he blocked Xu Lai's 1 men, and he did not lose the wind within half an hour.

However, at this time, Liu Zhang finally led 3000 people.

Seeing Xu Rong's army in front of him, he immediately ordered Zhang Ren to lead a charge of [-] cavalry, and must capture Xu Rong alive.

And he himself, as the main general, was protected by a hundred cavalry and watched the battle from the rear.

Although he is good at martial arts, he knows that a gentleman cannot stand under a dangerous wall. Now that he has the advantage, he doesn't need to take the lead and encourage the soldiers.

Zhang Ren led [-] cavalry to attack from Xu Rong's rear. Xu Rong's elite soldiers were all defending the front. With just two attacks, Xu Rong's army was thrown into chaos.

Among the rebellious army, Zhang Ren found Xu Rong. He fought in person, killed Xu Rong's personal guards, and captured Xu Rong alive.

The main general was captured, the generals had no fighting spirit, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit. If they surrendered to avoid death, all the remaining 4000 people surrendered.

Zhang appointed someone to tie up Xu Rong and bring him to Liu Zhang.

"Mission 1000 is completed, and [-] Huwei Qingqi will be rewarded."

"Matched with light cavalry under the host's command, 1000 of them have started to be strengthened. The strengthening has been completed."

In this way, Liu Zhang has 4000 Huwei Qingqi under his command.

After he occupied Liangzhou, there was no shortage of war horses, and there were tens of thousands of cavalry under his command. I am afraid that no prince in the world has as many cavalry as him.

"General Xu, it's been a long time!" Liu Zhang looked at Xu Rong and smiled.

"The general of the defeated army has met Liu Yizhou!" Xu Rong simply admitted that he was defeated.

"I don't want to talk nonsense. The general is only thirty now, and he is in the prime of life. If he surrenders, he can continue to gallop in the northern border and become famous all over the world. If he doesn't surrender, the general will be capable all over himself, which is a pity!"

Xu Rong was astonished, he didn't expect Liu Zhang to be so direct.

The other party's words are so straightforward, he can't hold back anymore. "Sin will come down!"

"Come here, untie General Xu!"

Liu Zhang's left and right cavalry immediately dismounted to untie the rope for Xu Rong.

Xu Rong immediately knelt down in front of Liu Zhang, "The last general pays his respects to the lord, and I would like to call the lord to open the gate of Anyi!"

"Okay, that's the best!" Liu Zhang nodded in satisfaction.

This Xu Rong is very sensible, the defenders in Anyi city are his subordinates, let him break through the city gate, and he can minimize the loss.

An hour later, Xu Rong led Liu Zhang's army to Anyi.

Outside the city of Anyi, Yan Xing came to meet Liu Zhang, and the army gathered outside the south gate.

Xu Rong rode close to the city gate alone, told the defenders in the city that he had surrendered, and ordered him to open the city and surrender.

The general who defended the city was Xu Rong's confidant, and he really surrendered.

Just as Liu Zhang was about to enter the city, he suddenly remembered the story of Cao Cao in Wancheng. He ordered Zhang Ren and Zhao Wei to camp outside the city, and ordered his confidant generals to take over the defense of Anyi, while he brought Xu Lai, Yan Xing and others into the city.

The battle report spread to the rear, and the Yi's army and Puban's army rushed to Anyi one after another.

The Xiliang soldiers who escaped from Jie County were overtaken by Zhang Jie and Gan Ning, and they were defeated. Some fled and some surrendered.

Of Xu Rong's [-] troops, [-] died in battle, and the rest surrendered one after another.

Under Xu Rong's order, the rest of Hedong County also surrendered.

In less than a month, Liu Zhang captured Hedong County.

With such a large county and a famous general like Xu Rong guarding it, one month is already very fast.

However, although Xu Rong is very powerful, his subordinates are not good, and although he controlled Hedong County, but not for a long time, the officials and people in all counties listened to him because they were afraid of him.

Now that Liu Zhang is here, of course everyone is willing to change the master.

After mobilizing an army of 103200, Liu Zhang consumed [-] stones of grain and grass after a month. This is because the terrain of Hedong County is mostly flat, which is convenient for transporting grain and grass.

If it is in the mountains, it will consume more than this amount of food and grass in a month.

In Puban County, hundreds of thousands of shi of grain and grass have been hoarded, while in Guanzhong, people still transport grain and grass from the hinterland to Linjin every day, and then ship from Linjin to Pubanjin, and then transport it from Pubanjin. To Puban County.

After capturing Anyi, Xu Rong took the initiative to hand over the household registration and other documents of Hedong County.

After Liu Zhang looked it up, he found that Hedong County still had 258000 shi of grain and grass in storage. There is so much grain and grass in a county, even though it was just harvested in autumn, it can receive grain tax.

But there is so much food and grass, which also surprised Liu Zhang.

Hedong County is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, less suffering from wars, so there are many aristocratic families in the county.

Although no one has jumped out yet, it's because they haven't figured out Liu Zhang's temper, but Liu Zhang is a clan member of the Han family, and he was born against the aristocratic family, and sooner or later something will happen.

What is the concept of 258000 stone grains?

If Xu Rong's 3 people go out to fight, they can eat it for 200 days; if they don't go out to fight, they can use it for 300 days.

This is just the food tax, plus other taxes, Xu Rong was able to raise [-] soldiers with one county in Hedong County, which is more than a mistake.

After Xu Rong surrendered, Liu Zhang continued to let him lead the army. His direct subordinates gave him 1 people. As for the rest of the army, he was incorporated by Liu Zhang.

Moreover, Liu Zhang also appointed Xu Rong as a partial general, which is already quite a high position.

In the early stage of the melee among the princes, the school lieutenants were very valuable. When the Three Kingdoms were established, there were as many school lieutenants as dogs and generals walking everywhere.

The purpose of Liu Zhang's expedition this time is Bingzhou.After capturing Hedong County, he stayed briefly for another five days, and then he continued to move forward.

Bingzhou is a large county in the north, with geographical advantages, but it is divided into two sections by the Yellow River, one is on the east side of the Yellow River, and the other is on the west side of the Yellow River.

Among them, the five counties of Shangdang, Taiyuan, Yanmen, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong are to the east of the Yellow River, Shangjun and Shuofang are to the west of the Yellow River, Xihe County is interspersed by the Yellow River, and most of Wuyuan County is to the north of the Yellow River.

It's just that although Bingzhou is a large county, its population is sparse, even smaller than that of Liangzhou.

The main reason, of course, is that it is too close to the Southern Huns and Xianbei.

The three counties of Taiyuan, Shangdang, and Yanmen are the essence of the entire Bingzhou Army. They not only have a large population, but also have a large number of plains.

It can be said that Bingzhou, like Liangzhou, is a place with excellent soldiers, but the food supply is seriously insufficient. This is not only because of the lack of cultivated land, but also because of the lack of people.
