Pang Degong and Sima Hui were very accurate. Among all the princes, the one who was most worried about Ma Qiang and the one who was most willing to unite with the other princes was Cao Cao.

If you want to form an anti-Malaysian alliance, you must start with Cao Cao.

After receiving the instructions of Pang Degong, Xu Shu began to travel to Yanzhou for opportunities, and a war was about to take place in Guanzhong east of Yanzhou.

——Tongguan

After a full year of drought, God probably finally remembered that it would still rain. However, in the cold winter, the rain turned into heavy snow at high altitudes.

The entire Tongguan is also covered with silver decorations decorated with heavy snow, which has a unique flavor.

A veteran walked on the city wall with a horizontal knife and patrolled the guards.

"Father, it's such a cold day, you're still patrolling the gate."

A middle-aged general came towards him, and the veteran said with a serious expression, "The more difficult the time is, the more we should let the soldiers know that the generals are with them. Jianshou, you must remember this."

Huangfu Jianshou hurriedly bowed and said yes.

"Father, Chief of Staff Xun said that the general's military order was issued, and asked me to inform my father to go to the meeting."

"Oh? Let's go!"

In a yard inside Tongguan Pass, Xun You, wearing Hebei military winter uniform, was looking at the sand table seriously.

He actually kept every mountain and river on the sand table in mind, but he still liked to look at the overall situation from a condescending perspective, which would allow him to see the entire situation more comprehensively.

"Chief of Staff, where is the general's military order?" Huangfu Song took off his cloak as soon as he entered the house, knocked off the snowflakes on it, threw them onto the shelf aside, and strode forward.

Xun You took a piece of paper and said, "Captain Zhang and Commander Xu will arrive soon. Let's talk together. This is a telegram, you can take a look first."

"Okay, I'm roasting the fire first. It's so cold this year. Thanks to the stove and kang, otherwise the soldiers would be sick from freezing."

The stove Huangfu Song mentioned is a honeycomb coal stove, and Bingzhou is the Shanxi in later generations. The most famous specialty is coal. With the advent of winter, Bingzhou's honeycomb coal also flowed into Tongguan continuously, becoming a necessity for the army.

"The veteran general should take care of his health, Instructor Xi, don't you?"

Instructor Xi is Xi Lu. He has now been transferred to the corps instructor of the Seventh Legion. As an instructor, he naturally has to care about the lives of the soldiers. Therefore, Huangfu Song's physical health problems are also under his control.

"Yes, the general is very concerned about your body, the commander of the Legion. He even asked in the telegram."

Huangfu Song patted his chest and said, "I haven't recovered Chang'an yet. This body will not be broken for a while!"

"It's so cold here. I don't know what Sakhalin Island will look like. I didn't say in yesterday's news that Wangjiatun, the fifth Sakhalin Island, was successfully established. Many of the people in Wangjiatun were from our Guanzhong." Huangfu Jianshou also talked about the fire while roasting the fire.

A large part of the reason why the gathering point of the people on Sakhalin Island is called Tun is because these villages are managed semi-military.

Most of the hard labor recruited by Ma Qiang did not stay in Sakhalin Island, so long-term actual occupation on Sakhalin Island is still due to immigration.

Reclamation of land is an extremely hard thing. Many people will wonder how few ancient people were. Even if the land was occupied by landlords, they could reclaim new land.

But in fact, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to open up land. If it weren’t for a small landlord with little assets, people with little assets would not be able to bear the cost of opening land.

This is actually just like starting a business in later generations. Starting a business is so profitable, why don’t everyone start a business?

It’s not because starting a business has risks and costs, and ordinary families cannot bear this risk at all.

Therefore, letting immigrants go to open up land alone is to let them die. These immigrants must gather in the same village, cooperate to open up land internally, implement semi-militarized management externally, and lead local garrisons and retired professional soldiers to conduct militarized training to prevent possible indigenous attacks.

Therefore, the villages on Sakhalin Island are actually more similar to the military camps of Cao Wei, except that the tax collected is extremely low, with three exemptions and two exemptions, all taxes are exempted from the first three years, and the taxes are halved in the next two years, and taxes are collected normally from the sixth year.

After all, six years are enough for immigrants to reclaim wasteland from mature land and generate profits.

"Captain of the Legion, Chief of Staff, Instructor, we are here!"

Zhang Ji and Xu Huang walked into the house together. Xun You saw that everyone was together and began to announce the beginning of the meeting.

"Everyone, this is a military order issued by the Military Commission of the General's Office. Please pass it on."

After Xun You sat down, he asked someone to send the telegram to everyone.

After passing it around, Xun You said, "According to the orders of the Military Commission, in order to support the Liaodong Battle and shock the princes of the Central Plains, our Seventh Corps will send troops to Guanzhong, not seeking a battle to set Chang'an, but also win several victories."

Huangfu Song snorted, "The court of Gongsun Du in Liaodong failed to summon him many times. The newspaper said that he had already called himself the Marquis of Liaodong, the governor of Pingzhou, riding on the phoenix road, nine tassels, and the throne-headed feather cavalry. This is to rebel!

What he relies on is that Liaodong is located in a remote area and has natural dangers in Liaoze. Now that the Binhai Road is mostly repaired, I want to see how long he can last!"

Xun You nodded and said, "The commander of the Legion is right, but it is precisely because Liaodong is located in a remote location and Gongsun Du colluded with the states such as Sanhan, Fuyu, etc. This battle may not only involve Liaodong, but also Sanhan and Fuyu.

The army went on a thousand miles of expeditions, but it might not have been able to completely pacify Liaodong in less than three to five years. Even the general himself was ready to take charge in Jixian.

Therefore, the general was worried that the princes of the Central Plains would take the opportunity to peek at Hebei, so he asked us to show the combat power of the Seventh Legion and told the princes of the Central Plains that if they dared to send troops to Hebei, we could give them a fatal blow from the flanks!"

As the deputy chief of staff of the General Staff of the Military Office, Xun You naturally knew that the Battle of Liaodong would definitely not take three to five years, and this was just a cover-up.

"Since the general has already issued an order, then fight. Who dares to take Zheng County first for the pioneer?" Huangfu Song had already had an idea about fighting Chang'an and asked immediately.

As a bridgehead and Zheng County, which is likely to fall once the war begins, the guard at this time is Wang Fang.

Xu Huang immediately asked for a fight and said, "I am guilty and I am just trying to make a contribution. I am willing to be a pioneer!"

Zhang Xiu, who was behind Zhang Ji, immediately refused and bowed, saying, "Wang Fang is just a general, why should Chief Xu take the troops personally? He only brought two battalions of troops there. If he could not take Zheng County, he would like to come and see him!"

Seeing everyone competing for merit, Huangfu Song chuckled and felt that his morale was available, but when he saw Xun You's expressionless face, he said, "Does Gongda have a clever plan?"

When Xun You saw Huangfu Song asking himself, he said, "I have a plan, but I want to feel wronged the old general."

"Grievance? What's wrong?"
