Chapter 45
Wuhuan tribe in Shanggu County.
"I understand what you mean, but the Yellow Turban Army is so powerful now, I'm afraid that the four of us combined cannot possibly be its opponent."
"You should know that although the Yellow Turban Army has suffered some casualties in these battles, its military strength is still more than 60,000."
"And the combined number of our four tribes is probably less than 20,000. If we want to be on par with the Yellow Turban Army, we must gather all the people in that tribe!"
The speaker is the leader of Wuhuan in Shanggu County, King Nanlou, and the other three leaders are Nengchen Di, Pufulu, and Wuchen Di.
Although they are not as strong as Koloudun and A Luopan individually, they are definitely stronger than the two tribes when combined.
"Haha, we understand your concerns, but if we can join forces with Wu Yan and Yu Nengchen of Youbeiping, the number of troops can reach nearly 40,000."
"With the combat effectiveness of our Wuhuan people, 40,000 are enough to confront the 60,000 Yellow Turban Army, of course, if Wu Yan can call all his tribes in the grassland together."
"We can have nearly 100,000 capable warriors. When the time comes, what can we do to resist the Yellow Turban Army that is besieged on three sides? The only way is death!" Pu Fulu laughed.
King Nanlou also fell silent after hearing this. Wu Yan's strength can be ranked among the top five tribal leaders in the entire Wuhuan tribe.
There are quite a few small tribes in the grassland that are attached to Wu Yan. Although they are small, each tribe has dozens to one or two hundred capable warriors.
But the advantage is that there are enough small tribes, so once they are all gathered together, it will be different.
"But they are doing well and are very stable now, so how could they join forces with us?" King Nanlou was puzzled.
Now the Wuhuan tribe has been divided into pieces, and the main forces are distributed in various counties in Youzhou. The small tribes that depend on them are responsible for raising cattle, sheep and war horses for the main forces on the grassland.
These days can be said to be on the right track. At this time, if we become enemies with the Yellow Turban Army, it will disrupt the current peaceful life.
"Haha, the Yellow Turbans killed 10,000 Wuhuan cavalrymen of Koludun and A Luopan, so the hatred between the Yellow Turbans and us Wuhuan people can no longer be resolved."
"In addition, the Yellow Turbans are very ambitious. They first occupied our counties and will certainly continue to expand their power."
"At that time, their next target will most likely be Youbeiping County, so Wuyan and Yu Nengchen will be their next targets."
"Even if the Yellow Turbans did not provoke them, once Youbeiping was returned to the Yellow Turbans, then the meaning of them staying in Youbeiping would be lost."
"Back then, the old Chanyu attached himself to the Han Dynasty so that we Wuhuan people could survive. Now that our life is about to be broken, how can we not participate?"
Nengchen Di smiled and spoke, his analysis was even more logical, and the King of Nanlou nodded frequently, which was indeed the case.
"There is another very important thing. You may have forgotten what our current status is. We are the ministers of the Han Dynasty!"
"What is the Yellow Turban Army? It is a rebel force, against the Han Dynasty. So we are in a righteous position to deal with the Yellow Turban Army. With this status, how can we fail!"
"And by then, it is possible that these counties will truly become ours. By then, we will occupy a county and completely divide Youzhou!"
"And the Han Dynasty court is now corrupt, and it will certainly give benefits to appease us. At that time, Youzhou will truly become the Youzhou of our Wuhuan people!"
Wu Chendi, who had been silent on the side, also spoke up, and he put on the hat of a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
Everything they did was for the Han Dynasty, not for their own selfishness.
This made the hesitant King Nanlou decide to take a gamble: "If Wuyan and Yu Nengchen are willing to join, I will join!"
Nengchen Di, Pu Fulu, and Wuchen Di looked at each other and smiled. The matter was finally settled.
......
In Guangyang County
"Let's not talk about anything else now. Zhuo County and Dai County are adjacent to Bingzhou and Jizhou. It is a very important location and needs to be managed by someone!"
Zhang Fu felt that the talents under his command seemed to be insufficient. He originally thought that there were many talents to be poached and summoned by the system.
But if they were distributed, the manpower would be insufficient. In the future, Youzhou would be unified, and the manpower seemed to be even more insufficient.
"My lord, Yu will go to Dai County by himself. Yu will definitely govern Dai County well!"
Cheng Yu was very clearChu Dai County is the only one adjacent to Bingzhou and Jizhou. Zhuo County is only adjacent to Jizhou.
Zhang Fu thought for a while. Cheng Yu is both civil and military, and he is also a poisonous scholar. It should be possible for him to be in charge of Dai County alone.
"Okay, then the position of Dai County governor will be handed over to you, Zhongde. Select 6,000 people from the Yellow Turban Army from Qingzhou to sit in Dai County together."
Although the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou has been arranged and those who should be selected have been selected, there are still many young and strong men who have not been selected.
So in Zhang Fu's view, these people are the source of soldiers for the garrisons in various places. If they can't be regular soldiers, it's not bad to be garrisons.
"Yes, lord!" Cheng Yu immediately accepted the order.
Although these young and strong men of the Yellow Turban Army were not selected into the Qinglong Army or the Taiping Army, they were all trained by Guan Hai.
They still have basic combat effectiveness. They can't be expected to fight in battle, but they can still defend the city.
"The post of the governor of Zhuo County will be handed over to Xiaoxian. Yuanjian, you are responsible for selecting 6,000 people to assist Xiaoxian in Zhuo County!" Zhang Fu said.
Unlike Cheng Yu, Mao Jie did not have Cheng Yu's military ability and martial arts, so he must arrange for someone to assist him.
"Yes, lord!" Mao Jie and Liao Hua both accepted the order.
"Wenchang, you will go to Shanggu County to serve as the governor of Shanggu County. Li Jin, you will be responsible for selecting 4,000 people to follow Wenchang to Shanggu County."
After all, the number of young and strong men of the Yellow Turbans is limited, so it is impossible for each county to have 6,000 people. It needs to be developed slowly.
"Yes, lord!" Xu Wei and Li Jin both accepted the order.
"Yan Rou, you will be the governor of Yuyang County. There are 10,000 Xuanwu troops led by Taishi Ci there, so there is no need to arrange a garrison. The local garrisons of each county should be enough."
Yuyang County will definitely not have any problems with Taishi Ci, not to mention that there are already hundreds of county soldiers in the cities of these counties.
Although their combat effectiveness is very average, not as good as the young and strong Yellow Turban Army, to defend the city, they only need to throw down stones and wood.
"Yes, lord!" Yan Rou accepted the order. He did have the ability in this regard. Although he was not as good as Xu Wei, Cheng Yu, and Mao Jie, he was more than enough to govern a county.
As for Guangyang County, it is now under the charge of Zhang Jue, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang who have retreated to the second line.
In a word, they are enough for the internal affairs, and all the external affairs are handed over to Zhang Fu.
