"What's the next step?"

Liu Bowen asked lightly.

Although he complained all the time, his work style was still very rigorous.

Especially when Qin Yuan was retained as the chief manager of internal affairs.

This is enough to show Qin Yuan's trust in him and his recognition of his abilities.

That's why it was decided to hand over all the affairs of the Youzhou rear area to Liu Bowen.

"I got some news before!"

"Zhang Chun and Gongsun Zan are ready to move and covet Guangyang County!"

"But after we quickly captured Youzhou City, they should have given up their idea of ​​invading Guangyang!"

"But we have to guard against this!"

"I decided to let Luo Cheng lead an army of two million to guard the border of Guangyang to prevent the invasion of these two forces!"

"And my next plan is to prepare to capture Zhuojun and Daijun!"

Han Xin pondered for a while and said, "The news I got from Zhuojun is that since Liu Bei led his army to Jizhou, the number of troops in Zhuojun has not exceeded one million. This is the best time.

The time to attack!"

"This is a good time!"

"However, there is a teleportation array in Zhuo County, and they may provide support at any time!"

"After all, Liu Bei was born in Zhuojun, and his troops are also from Zhuojun!"

"Unlike Shanggu Guangyang, there are no reinforcements!"

Liu Bowen nodded slightly and said.

"Then let's have a tough battle!"

"Even if Liu Bei leads a large army to come back for reinforcements, it will only be about five million more troops!"

"Besides, whether the other party can make a decision to return support is the same thing!"

"Even if we return reinforcements, we should treat it as a way to relieve the pressure on the battlefield in Jizhou. In short, no matter what, the initiative is on our side!"

Han Xin said calmly. "This time I personally led one million elites and conquered four million Guangyang Yellow Turbans. A total of five million troops. I'm afraid I won't be able to capture a single Zhuojun!"

"Yes, this interstate teleportation costs one or two gold per time!"

"Five million troops are five million taels of gold!"

"Even if the other party knows that Zhuojun is under attack, they may not be able to fully respond to the attack!"

"The most we can do is send some elites back to help!"

"But the greater possibility is that we can do nothing and just sit back and do nothing!"

Liu Bowen analyzed.

Interstate shipping is very expensive.

One person at a time is one tael of gold.

At this price, you can buy hundreds of units of food, or recruit a dozen soldiers.

Liu Bei had used it once before when he led his army to Julu City and spent several million taels of gold.

If it were sent back again, it would be several million taels of gold.

Liu Bei had to pay for this money himself.

Moreover, even if Liu Bei is willing to pay the money, the imperial court may not necessarily agree to Liu Bei's request for return aid.

After all, for the imperial court, the Jizhou battlefield was the most important.

Since the outbreak of the war, we have only led troops from various places to support the Jizhou battlefield, and not the other way around.

What's more, if it supports other battlefields, there may be hope of winning, defending the territory, or counterattacking the Yellow Turban Army.

But in the face of Qin Yuan's army, even if they return to support Zhuo County, there is a high probability that the city will be destroyed and people will be killed, and everything will be in vain.

In this way, it is even more impossible for them to return to Zhuojun!

"That's even better!"

"No matter what the situation is, we have a plan to deal with it!"

"Just in time, let's take this opportunity to train the Guangyang Yellow Turban Army!"

Han Xin said.

This attack on Zhuojun had several purposes.

One is to capture Zhuojun, then move to the next county to expand territory.

The second is to take this opportunity to conduct military training to improve the combat capabilities of the Guangyang Yellow Turban Army. After the baptism of war, they will become stronger, and at the same time, they will take the opportunity to control this Yellow Turban Army.

The third is to threaten local officials and put pressure on the imperial court, which indirectly alleviates the pressure on the Jizhou battlefield.

Although today's Zhuo County has been completely recovered, the previous Yellow Turban Army was defeated by Liu Bei, and the original Yellow Turban Commander Cheng Zhiyuan even defected to Qin Yuan's command.

But for Han Xin, it is not difficult to win.

"By the way, we are dispatching millions of troops this time. In terms of logistical resources, I have to worry about Manager Liu taking care of them!"

Han Xin said again.

"knew!"

"In this fight, you are all trying your best to take money out of my pocket!"

"If you hadn't saved enough supplies before, you would have emptied the treasury now!"

"Guangzong City has to send countless supplies every day. The first batch sent three million sets of soldiers and armors, and tens of millions of sets of equipment will follow!"

Liu Bowen said, "I hope you can successfully capture Zhuojun this time, but don't fight for too long, otherwise you won't be able to afford the extra supplies!"

"I'll try my best to solve it quickly!"

"And most places in Zhuo County have never been captured by the Yellow Turban Army!"

"There should still be a lot of oil and water!"

"Maybe after taking it, you can earn more than you consume!"

Han Xin said.

"I hope so!"

Liu Bowen sighed softly.

If it were before, the large amount of materials accumulated in Pingyun County and the wealth taken out from the major families in Shanggu County would be enough for them to consume for many years.

But when Qin Yuan became the Grand Marshal of the Yellow Turban Army, he reformed the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City.

Although the early stage is only part of the reform, it also consumes a lot of resources.

Especially in terms of equipment.

Most of the Yellow Turbans were not even as good as militiamen, and some even used furniture as weapons.

After Qin Yuan took over, among other things, he must at least ensure that every soldier has matching weapons.

This can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

Otherwise, once you go to the battlefield, you will basically be giving away people's lives and will be of no use at all.

Qin Yuan would rather disband such an army than send it to the battlefield.

Otherwise, once a mutiny or rout occurs, the regular army and elite troops will be affected.

After Han Xin captured Guangyang County, after a few days of adjustments, the army began to move towards Zhuo County.

Naturally, this march movement cannot be concealed from the investigation of spies from all parties.

As soon as Zhuojun received the news, they once again fell into the solemn atmosphere of the impending storm, and began to ask for help from the court and all parties. Naturally, they also sent a request for help signal to Liu Bei in Julu City.

Inside Julu City.

Since the defeat in the last war, the imperial court has not sent any troops, and they have all huddled in the city.

The battlefield around Julu Guangzong was peaceful and calm. This situation had not happened since the Yellow Turban Uprising.

However, the calm is only a superficial phenomenon. Behind the scenes, both camps are preparing for the next war.

The imperial camp had suffered such a big loss, so naturally it had to find a way to regain its position.

Lu Zhi issued a mandatory order, requiring all forces to provide part of their elite troops, with strength at least level three.

Including the troops sent by the imperial court, the five elite schools of the Northern Army, etc., there are a total of three million troops.

They planned to use this to fight against Qin Yuan's millions of troops.

Although the number of people is three times that of Qin Yuan's army.
