NOVEL WEB Chapter 110
......
Just when they were discussing the construction of the city, Zhang Fu's troops had been recruited, and many young and strong men from Jizhou and Bingzhou had been recruited.
Then they were assigned to various armies according to the original plan. Now it is a real army of 150,000 capable of going on expeditions.
If the county and county soldiers in these two states are included, the number of troops can reach nearly 300,000.
Such a scale is already very powerful. For example, the Liangzhou rebels only have a little over 100,000 troops, which is basically three times the difference.
When Zhang Fu went to attack Goguryeo and other countries, Jia Xu had already taken over the Bad People, and Guo Jia now held a nominal position.
So it was Jia Xu who reported the news this time, of course Guo Jia and Dian Wei were also there.
Jia Xu said in a heavy tone: "My Lord, I just got the news that Zhang Wen and Zhang Chang were both killed in the battle. As for how they died, I don't know, but there must be something wrong!"
He went on to say: "Originally, the war had been in a stalemate, but since the Zhang Wen brothers died in the battle, the battlefield situation has completely tilted to one side, and Dong Zhuo has never suffered a defeat."
"Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and many other leaders of the Xiliang rebels were killed by Dong Zhuo. What's more surprising is that even Han Sui betrayed and joined Dong Zhuo."
Zhang Fu couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that this life would change so much.
Dong Zhuo actually took the lead alone, wiped out the Xiliang rebels, and even successfully recruited the Xiliang rebels led by Han Sui.
Han Sui is a person who is good at changing his mind. Although his wisdom is not as good as Li Ru, he is also a smart person. This will undoubtedly greatly enhance Dong Zhuo's strength.
"According to the intelligence from Luoyang, Dong Zhuo is likely to become the governor of Liangzhou. After all, he can intimidate the Qiang tribes in Liangzhou."
"This may be a great enemy of ours. The power Dong Zhuo now has has surpassed the court, so Jia inferred that Dong Zhuo also has a rebellious heart!"
After Jia Xu reported most of the content, Guo Jia also stood up and told his analysis and intelligence.
Zhang Fu nodded in approval.
Guo Jia's analysis does make sense. Dong Zhuo in the future does have a rebellious heart, but it is not certain whether it is the case now.
However, what is certain is that Dong Zhuo in this life is more powerful.
Originally he was just a prefect, but now he may become the governor of Liangzhou. The gap between them is not small.
Faced with such a situation, everyone fell into deep thought.
They understood that the situation in the future might become more complicated, and Dong Zhuo, as a powerful force, would undoubtedly pose a threat to them.
Therefore, they need to be prepared to respond to ensure that their safety and interests are not harmed.
"Dong Zhuo is actually not a concern. Although he has strong troops under his command, they are still far inferior to ours, and we now own two states."
The person who spoke was Jia Xu. At this moment, he looked at the map with a calm face, as if he didn't take Dong Zhuo seriously at all.
After hearing this, Guo Jia, who was standing by, showed a look of approval on his face and said, "Wenhe is right. Although Dong Zhuo has 200,000 Xiliang troops under his command, we now have Youzhou and Gaozhou, and our troops are no less than 300,000. Let alone other things, we have already taken advantage of the military strength alone."
Jia Xu nodded and continued, "Yes, in addition, the lord also has advanced steelmaking technology, and the weapons he has made are even sharper. If they are equipped to the soldiers, the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved. In addition, the lord also has Li Cunxiao, Yang Zaixing, Gao Chong, Yan Liang and Wen Chou and other generals under his command. These people are all fierce generals of the time and have high martial arts skills. If they fight against Dong Zhuo, they have a great chance of winning."
"Well, Wenhe's analysis makes sense, but Dong Zhuo is also a governor after all, and his strength should not be underestimated. We should still be careful in dealing with it." Guo Jia reminded.
Jia Xu smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, Fengxiao, we only need to develop well for two or three years. By then, the whole world will not be our opponent. Now just keep a low profile!"
Jia Xu knew the situation in Liangzhou very well. In comparison, Liangzhou was far behind Youzhou and Gaozhou. Moreover, Youzhou now had three kinds of high-yield seeds. It only took two or three years for food and grass to feed a million troops.
At that time, there was enough food and grass, and enough troops. What in the world could not be conquered? Even Dong Zhuo was executed and could not cause any trouble.
Guo Jia did not say anything, but nodded silently., obviously the meaning is the same as Jia Xu, the two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"Lord!" Just when everyone was discussing fiercely, Wang Yue suddenly flashed into the room.
He said to Zhang Fu with a serious face: "Lord, we have just received an important intelligence from Luoyang. According to reliable information, Lu Zhi has been released, and he is very likely to be appointed as the governor of Jizhou, and Zhu Jun is also very likely to be the governor of Qingzhou!" After that, Wang Yue handed the information in his hand to Zhang Fu.
After Zhang Fu took the information, he read it carefully.
He frowned slightly, thinking secretly about the impact of this information.
After a while, he raised his head, looked at everyone with a firm look, and said: "It seems that the court has taken action.
They released Lu Zhi and arranged him to serve as the governor of Jizhou, obviously wanting him to fight against our army. In addition, if my speculation is correct, Zhu Jun is likely to become the governor of Qingzhou, so we need to face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides."
After listening to Zhang Fu's analysis, everyone present nodded in agreement. They realized that the court's move this time meant that they must be prepared to respond and not take it lightly.
At this time, Guo Jia on the side interrupted and said: "My lord, according to the current situation, the court's purpose should not only target us, but also want to control the entire northern region through the power of Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun. If this plan is implemented, we will fall into a very passive situation."
Zhang Fu nodded, indicating that he agreed with Guo Jia's opinion.
He went on to say: "Therefore, we must take positive and effective measures to break the imperial court's wishful thinking. First, we must strengthen our own strength, especially the training and equipment update of the army; second, we must take advantage of the contradictions and interests between various forces, maneuver skillfully, and win more support from allies."
