~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the end of October, the wind was cold and the sky was cloudy. At this time, Tian Yu returned to Bailang City with the first season of 3,000 shi of military rations and 500 shi of food and grass. In addition to more than 300 accompanying men, there were also 1,200 newly recruited soldiers.

These soldiers were recruited from Liaodong, mostly from the prefectures and counties with the most serious warlords and warlords. Liaodong counties are not small in size and have many county towns, but hundreds of thousands of refugees suddenly pour in, how can they make a living? The best way for young and strong is to join the army. If so many young and strong people pour into the territory of the vassals of the Central Plains, they would be afraid that they would laugh and all of them would be taken to join the army. But Gongsun Du was different. His ambition was only in the Liaodong region - it was not that he had such ambition, but that Gongsun Zan blocked his way to the south. Unless he defeated Gongsun Zan, he would not have any idea of ​​getting involved in the Central Plains.

At this time, Gongsun Zan still made the princes of the world look at the tiger. Although he was defeated by Yuan Shao, the tiger would not fall to death, let alone be injured. Gongsun Du asked himself that he was not the opponent of the white horse Gongsun. In Liaodong, except for the occasional Xianbei and Wuwan disturbance, he had always been peaceful and had no natural opponents, so he could not raise so many soldiers. Nowadays, no matter which prefecture or county, military expenditure is a headache for the number one problem.

Of course, Gongsun Du has a large number of soldiers on hand, which does not mean that he will let Ma Han recruit soldiers without restrictions. His purpose is to attract a vicious guard dog, not a vicious wolf. The only difference between a wolf and a dog is that he cannot loosen the chain.

Gongsun Du gave the upper limit of the number of troops in Bailang City to 2,000. Bailang City originally had 800 cavalry and infantry, and added 1,200 new soldiers, which was exactly 2,000.

The recruitment plan that Ma Han brought to Tian Yu was 2,000 people, but he only got 1,200, barely more than half. Although it was a bit regretful, seeing these new recruits were strong and fitted with standard county and state weapons: spears, wooden shields, bows and arrows, waist knives, and some thin armor and horses, Gongsun Du was very interesting to think about it. Of course, it was not impossible for Ma Han to recruit more soldiers, but one was that he could not recruit in Liaodong, and the other was that Gongsun Du only cared for the expenses of 2,000 people, and you would be sorry if he had too much. You can solve it yourself. And there was a tacit problem. Even if the White Wolf Camp was a guest army, there were some hidden rules, and it was better not to break them too quickly - this sensitive issue of the number of troops was one of them.

Therefore, when the conditions are not yet mature, the 2,000 garrisons are the upper limit of the White Wolf Camp.

Tian Yu had tested all the abilities of the recruits when recruiting, and selected 600 recruits who knew how to know cavalry and shooting, and classified them as cavalry, and the other half were infantry. In this way, the White Wolf Camp would have cavalry, one thousand infantry each, totaling two thousand horses.

The White Wolf Camp had built a tent and earthen house that was enough for three thousand soldiers to move in. As soon as the new recruits arrived, officials from all levels of battalions were immediately taken away and settled. Three days later, Ma Han held a military and political meeting in the main hall of the city guard office. In addition to the officials and assistants at all levels of Bai Wolf City, the elders of the Hange tribe and Taishici also attended as guests.

The main hall of the city guard mansion is not big and has a simple structure. It is just a rectangular hall, which is divided into four rows of kneeling on both sides of the military and political circles, and can accommodate about twenty or thirty people, which is enough.

Ma Han was the cavalry commander of Liaodong County and the guardian of Bailang City. He officially presided over the meeting. On the left are officers of Bailang Camp, such as Tangnu, Wuzhui, Han Xi, etc.; on the right are officers of Bailang City headed by Tian Yu, and elders of Hange tribe such as Muji, Yu De, Tao Liang, Mengyuan, Ma Jun and others were all present.

Ma Han stood in the middle and hung a simple map made of silk as big as a bed behind him. This map is a combination of the Youhun, Jizhou map and his own hand-drawn map, as well as various maps drawn by Tian Yu to Liaodong and the assistants who were ordered by Tian Yu to go to Liaodong to accompany him. There are two obvious red circles on the map, one is Bailang City and the other is Xiangping City. At this moment, Ma Han held a long whip and explained the current situation to the military and political leaders of Bailang City for the first time.

"... In the past month, Yanmen Buduo's tent fell, and it was north of Danhan Mountain. It had repeatedly clashed with Kebien's tent, causing thousands of casualties. If the cold winter was approaching, there would have been a big battle between the two divisions. However, judging from the current situation of the two sides being ready to fight, there would be a battle in the summer and autumn of the next year. Moreover, at that time, the Xianbei vassal state of Liaodong was in a state of Liaoxi, and the Xianbei in western Liaoxi was still unwilling to be lonely and would be unwilling to be lonely. The three Xianbei fight each other, and this internal strife is a fight. At present, Kebien's injuries are plagued by illness and is difficult to take care of us, so the evil wolf in the north is no longer able to stretch its claws, and the threat from the north will disappear without any attack."

Tangnu, Wu Zhui, Han Xi and others looked at each other, and their faces could not stop feeling happy. Muji, Yu De, Tao Liang, Meng Yuan and others sighed and looked glad, looking glad.

Ma Han glanced faintly over everyone's faces, coughed lightly, and knocked hard at a certain point in his hand. The wooden boards supporting the map made a bang: "Don't be happy too early. If the northern wolf doesn't bite it, it doesn't mean that the Western dogs don't have teeth. Here - Hiraoka! is our real threat."

"Wu—Yan——" Two words were seen through Tannu's teeth.

Ma Han had a cold face and his whip circled in Pinggang's position: "That's right, it's Wuyan who stabbed us in his back. Look, from Pinggang to the southeast, down the White Wolf Valley, less than three hundred miles, it's White Wolf City. In other words, if Wuyan wants to be unfavorable to us, a fast horse will attack and you can kill under Bai Wolf City as early as two days and nights."

Donnu almost jumped up: "What? Wu Yan dares to come here!"

The old man Muji on the opposite side glared at him. Tangnu was still in awe of the master, and realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly knelt down and sat down honestly.

Ma Han said lightly: "I'm not sure whether Wu Yan dares to come this year, but I can conclude that he will come next year. I got the news that he broke the arrow before the clan tribe and swore that he would cut off the head of the murderer who killed his son with his own hands, so he will definitely come."

Break the arrow and swear, this is the Hu people's heavy oath, and they will be fulfilled when they say it. Everyone's hearts are heavy.

Ma Han's eyes were cold, and he slowly patrolled around and said, "So, I didn't wait for him to come with a knife, but went to the door first!"

Tian Yu's eyes lit up: "Let's take the initiative, good! Good courage."

Ma Han smiled and said, "Without the 1,200 powerful soldiers brought back by Guo Ren, I dare not play this preemptive strategy."

Donnu slapped his thigh: "Yes! Be the best at first, fuck him!"

Ma Han pointed to a point somewhere in the map: "While Gan Wuyan, you must take down this city - Wencheng. This is the old nest that Nengchen, the Wuyan tribe's Youshe Hou, is now his uncle Nengchenwu is in charge of his subordinates. This is Wuyan's eyes and ears and ears. Once Wuyan attacks Bailang City, or my White Wolf Camp attacks Pinggang, Nengchenwu will pounce from behind, restrain us, and even severely damage us. This thorn must be pulled out.

Old Man Muji couldn't help but say, "Will it be too... too hasty to divide the troops to attack at the same time?"

Ma Wu said decisively: "We must attack at the same time, otherwise the news will easily leak out, and..." Ma Wu smiled quite playfully, "We are not alone, there is no shortage of helpers in this western Liaoning."

Helper? Everyone looked at each other, only Ma Han and Tian Yu looked calm.

Taishici, who had not spoken much, suddenly said, "If you want to do it, you have to look at the sky as soon as possible. If there is less than ten days, there will be heavy snow."

Ma Han focused his head, and whipped the case for a long time, making an earthquake sound: "Now I order!"

Everyone stood up solemnly.

"Tomorrow I will take three hundred white wolf cavalry to attack Pinggang. Leave five hundred infantrymen to defend the city. One hundred cavalry divided into two teams in the north and south, and advance to Guangcheng Heishan Mountain in the south and Mashou Mountain Road in the north, and monitor the direction of Liucheng and Youbeiping. The remaining one hundred white wolf cavalry and one thousand infantry will be handed over to the leadership of Chief Tian to capture Wencheng."

Tao Liang said uneasy: "Is there a little less than the city guards who lead 300 cavalry? Moreover, there are many Wuhuan people in Wencheng, and it is said that there are nearly a thousand string control men."

Ma Han waved his hand calmly: "The key to military strength is to be more important than to be large. Moreover, as I said just now, we have helpers. If I had not been worried about insufficient troops and could not defend the attack on Wencheng, I would have taken action long ago. I have started preparing for this battle since the first day I entered White Wolf City. I dare not say that I am fully confident. There is still a certainty, so please don't worry."

Since Ma Han said this, with his prestige, no one naturally objected.
