Dozens of generals of the Southern Barbarian Army, when they heard Tu Yanbu say that the Zhennan Army would divide troops into two groups, one of which would directly land on the Nanbar Army's nest, couldn't help but talk.

Tu Yanbu frowned and knocked on the table in front of him with his hand, "This is my coach's mansion, not the vegetable market outside, I say everything one by one!"

After dozens of generals gathered their voices, Yuan Tulin's generals climbed the north and said loudly: "Master, the Southern Barbarian Protectorate is the foundation of our Southern Barbarian Army. We must not make any mistakes. Although the hundreds of tribes of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate have their own troops, they are like a piece of loose sand. Our Southern Barbarian Army must connect the many tribes of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate to resist the Zhennan Army of Yan in the Southern Barbarian Protectorate."

At this time, Gong Duning, one of the 36 generals under Yuan Tulin, spoke: "Master General, maybe the Yan State Town Southern Army landed directly on the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, is still a good thing for our Southern Barbarian Army. Our Southern Barbarian Army took this opportunity to integrate hundreds of tribes of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate. As long as our Southern Barbarian Army can unite the various tribes of the Southern Barbarian races, even if the Yan State attacks with all the whole country, our Southern Barbarian Army will not be afraid!"

Dengbeiying and Gongduning's words made Tu Yanbu nod, "Now the main force of our Southern Barbarian Army is in Cizhou Prefecture, so I plan to ask the Dengbei brothers and Gongdu brothers to lead the five brigades of Xiongyiwei and the 300,000 Southern Barbarian Army to return to the Southern Barbarian Protectorate to assist my second brother Fei Lianqing to join forces with the Southern Barbarian tribes to resist the invasion of the Southern Army in Yanguozhen."

Now Tu Yanbu has incorporated all the two million troops recruited from the Southern Barbarians into the Southern Barbarians, causing the total force of the Southern Barbarians to exceed three million.

This time, Tu Yanbu led a total of 20 brigades of Xiongyiwei and about 2.4 million Southern Barbarians. In the territory of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, Tu Yanbu also left five brigades of Xiongyiwei and 600,000 Southern Barbarians, and handed them over to his younger brother Fei Lianqing.

Fei Lianqing was two years younger than Tu Yanbu and had been promoted to the realm of a master warrior. However, Fei Lianqing did not join the Tu family army before. After Tu Yanbu controlled all the troops in the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, Tu Yanbu named himself the Grand Marshal of the Southern Barbarian Army and appointed his second brother Fei Lianqing as the Second Marshal of the Southern Barbarian Army.

At this time, among the dozens of generals in the room, there was another younger brother of Tu Yanbu, Fei Lianhong, who was named the third marshal of the Southern Barbarian Army by Tu Yanbu.

Fei Lianhong is only 22 years old this year, but he has become a master warrior five years ago, and his martial arts skills are even better than his two brothers. Fei Lianhong has never joined the Tu family army before.

Although the Tu family army nominally controlled the entire Southern Barbarian Protectorate, there were actually not many barbarian tribes that could be controlled. Therefore, many of the master warriors from all ethnic groups in the Southern Barbarians, such as Fei Lianqing and Fei Lianhong, did not join the original Tu family army.

Deng Beiying and Gongduning looked at each other, hurriedly stood up, expressing their willingness to lead troops back to the Southern Barbarian Protectorate and assist the Second Marshal Fei Lianqing to resist the Southern Army invasion of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate.

Tu Yanbu continued: "Now, most of the cities in the Cizhou Prefecture of Wei State have been captured by our Southern Barbarians, and only a few cities such as Cizhou City are still occupied by the Wei army. I hope to completely capture the entire Cizhou Prefecture before the Southern Barbarians of Yan State enters the territory of Wei."

Currently, the guard of Cizhou City is Kong Quan, the former deputy commander of the Tu family army. After Tu Yanbu controlled all the troops of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, Kong Quan gathered the five brigades of Xiongyiwei and the 100,000 Cizhou Prefecture soldiers, which he could control, in the Cizhou Prefecture's prefecture, Cizhou City.

In addition, all four inner guards sent by the Great Wei court were transferred to Cizhou City. In addition, more than 50,000 young and strong men recruited from Cizhou City, the strength of the Cizhou City guards reached 300,000, and most of them were the elites of the original Tu family army.

The Wei army guarding other cities of Cizhou Prefecture were the imperial guards and soldiers transferred from other prefectures by the Wei court, as well as the young and strong men who were temporarily recruited.

It was precisely because Kong Quan transferred all the elite troops into Cizhou City that he avoided being defeated by the Southern Barbarians and blocked the main force of the Southern Barbarians from Cizhou City.

On September 29, the 20th year of Jianping, the first Zhennan Army to support the Wei Kingdom landed in Yuhuan Port in Kangzhou Prefecture, the Great Wei Empire.

The first batch of Zhennan Army landed in Wei State, including the First Guard of Guizhou, the Third Guard of Guizhou, the Fifty Mansions and Barracks, the 500,000 cavalry of the Eastern Barbarians and the 150,000 infantry of the Eastern Barbarians, with a total force of up to 370,000.

On the day the first batch of Zhennan Army arrived at Yuhuan Port, the first military pay given to Zhennan Army by the Wei court was directly handed over to Zhennan Army entering Yuhuan City.

According to the agreement reached by the Wei court and the Zhennan Army, in addition to providing food and grass and various combat supplies to enter the Zhennan Army, Wei State must also be responsible for paying the military pay of all officers and soldiers of the Zhennan Army.

Although Li Bin did not demand too ruthlessly in terms of military pay, it was more than twice as high as the Zhennan Army's actual military pay.

When a branch of the Zhennan Army's outer guards entered the territory of Wei, the Wei court needed to pay 300,000 taels of military pay every month, a battalion needed to pay 15,000 taels of military pay, 10,000 infantrymen of all ethnic groups of Dongman need to pay 50,000 taels of military pay, and 10,000 cavalrymen of all ethnic groups of Dongman need to pay 10,000 taels of military pay.

The first military pay paid to Zhennan Army by the Wei court was 15.6 million taels of silver, which was exactly half a year's military pay paid to two outer guards, fifty palace barracks, fifty thousand Eastern Barbarian cavalry and fifty thousand Eastern Barbarian infantry.

In addition, according to the agreement between the two sides, the Wei court would give them 24 months of military pay to the officers and soldiers of Zhennan who died in the war.

The Great Wei Empire is really not short of money. The total tax revenue of the Great Wei Empire in a year exceeds 100 million taels of silver. This is due to the repeated reductions and exemption of commercial taxes and land taxes in the Great Wei Empire.

The Great Wei royal family made a profit every year by implementing a monopoly on salt, and the annual profits were as high as the total annual tax revenue of the Great Wei Empire. Coupled with the income from other aspects of the Great Wei royal family, the internal treasury of the Great Wei royal family far exceeded the national treasury of the Great Wei Empire.

In addition, the Great Wei Empire has always implemented a policy of hiding wealth among the people, and the wealth of the Great Wei Empire is simply jaw-dropping.

After the Zhennan Army agreed to send troops, the Secretary of the Wei Dynasty, Tang Rui, summoned more than 40 wealthy merchants in the capital on behalf of the Wei court. Then the more than 40 wealthy merchants took the initiative to raise about 30 million taels of silver for the Zhennan Army.

On the evening of the 29th, Cheng Tinghui, the Minister of War of the Great Wei, who came to Yuhuan City, personally held a banquet at the county magistrate's office in Yuhuan City, and invited dozens of generals including the Zhennan Army who arrived in the Wei State, Zhou Yu, Lu Bu, Zhou Tai, Dong Xi, Pan Zhang, Ding Feng, Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Yang Lun, Zhao Tong, Wei Xie, Huo Qian, Liu Quan, Fang Song, Deng Yong, Song Qi, Gao Lian, Huang Cheng, Qi Bo and other dozens of generals attended the dinner.

Zhou Yu and Lu Bu are the head coaches of the first guard of Guizhou and the third guard of Guizhou respectively. Zhou Tai and Dong Xi are the deputy coach of Guizhou first guard, and Pan Zhang and Ding Feng are the deputy coaches of Guizhou third guard.

Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai, Zhang He and Xu Huang are all the commanders of the Zhennan Army. This commander is unique to the Zhennan Army. Each commander commander commands several battalions.

The first batch of fifty government and barracks arrived in the territory of Wei, with fifteen subordinates under Pei Yuanqing and Xiong Kuohai, with ten subordinates under Zhang He and Xu Huang.

Yang Lun, Zhao Tong, Wei Xie and Huo Qian were originally King Kong under the command of Tu Lin, the commander of the Tu family army, Liu Quan, Fang Song, Deng Yong, Song Qi, Gao Lian, Huang Cheng and Qi Bo were originally generals under the command of Tu Lin, the commander of the Tu family army. This time Li Bin sent all eleven of them to Zhou Yu's tent to obey the order.

At the dinner, Cheng Tinghui, Minister of War of the Great Wei, sighed and said to Zhou Yu: "My Great Wei finally hopes for your Zhennan Army. Now, the entire Cizhou Prefecture of our Great Wei is still defending the dozens of cities, including Cizhou City, and the other 60 cities have all fallen. In addition, a part of the rebels has also attacked the Guzhou Prefecture west of Cizhou Prefecture. Two county cities and thirteen county cities have fallen in Guzhou Prefecture. The imperial guards, the soldiers and the young and strong men who have been recruited in the Great Wei Dynasty have been lost, and the total number of the imperial guards, the troops and the young and strong men recruited by our Great Wei is almost nearly 800,000. This battle is really tragic."

Zhou Yu was actually a little surprised that the Great Wei army could still defend more than a dozen cities in Cizhou Prefecture. After all, the Great Wei army's combat effectiveness has always been known for its weakness. Most of the Tu family army, the strongest combat effectiveness of the Great Wei army, joined the rebels. Originally, Zhou Yu thought that when he led his troops to Wei, the entire Cizhou Prefecture would have been captured by the rebels long ago!

What Zhou Yu didn't know was that the strongest combat effectiveness of the Tu family army was Xiongyiwei. Although Tu Yanbu controlled the military power of the twenty-five brigades of Xiongyiwei and replaced the brigade rate, deputy brigade rate, battalion rate, and deputy brigade rate of the 25 brigades with generals of the Southern Barbarian races, the officers and soldiers at the bottom of Xiongyiwei were still from Wei.

Most of these Wei officers and soldiers at the bottom of Xiongyiwei were unwilling to kill each other with their robes. As a result, after Tu Yanbu led his troops into Cizhou Prefecture, the twenty brigades of Xiongyiwei under Tu Yanbu almost did not work hard. Tu Yanbu could capture more than 60 cities in Cizhou Prefecture in a short period of time, basically relying on the Southern Barbarians with a force of up to 2.4 million.

Zhou Yu immediately said to Cheng Tinghui, Minister of War of the Great Wei Dynasty: "Mr. Cheng, if nothing unexpected happens, in three days, the second batch of troops of our Zhennan Army will arrive at Yuhuan Port, including fifty battalions and 150,000 infantrymen of the Eastern Barbarian tribes. After the second batch of troops arrive, the general will lead the army to Cizhou Prefecture and will go straight to Cizhou City, striving to defeat the main force of the rebels outside Cizhou City in one fell swoop!"

When Cheng Tinghui heard this, hesitated and said, "Master Zhou, more than 1.3 million rebels have gathered outside Cizhou City. Even if the second batch of Zhennan Army arrived, the total force under Zhou Dacheng was only more than 600,000. Should we wait until the third batch of Zhennan Army arrives before we seek a decisive battle with the main force of the rebels?"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, "Mr. Cheng doesn't need to worry. Among the rebels, only the twenty-five brigades of Xiong Yiwei can be considered elite. What's the rest of the Southern Barbarians is not worth mentioning, let alone the many powerful generals from the Yuantu family army to help us."

Zhou Yu's words made Cheng Tinghui look a little embarrassed. Just now, Zhou Yu had already introduced Yang Lun and Zhao Tong, the generals of the former Tu family army, to Cheng Tinghui one by one.

Cheng Tinghui also got a lot of money in the transaction of reselling these former generals of the Tu family army.

Cheng Tinghui coughed slightly and said, "Yang Lun, Zhao Tong and other generals of the former Tu family army can join the Zhennan Army, which is a blessing in disguise."

As soon as Cheng Tinghui finished speaking, several generals of the Yuantu family army snorted coldly at the same time. If Zhou Yu had not explained before, several generals of the Yuantu family army with hot tempers might have to get up and make a good argument with Cheng Tinghui immediately.

Why were the generals of the Tu family army who had always been loyal to the Wei court sold to the Zhennan Army like goods?

Cheng Tinghui hurriedly changed the topic and said to Zhou Yu: "Master Zhou, our Great Wei gathered an external guards and an imperial guards in Kangzhou Prefecture, as well as 200,000 prefectures and 700,000 township soldiers. Do we need our Ministry of War to draw a part of the Great Wei army in Kangzhou Prefecture and rush to Cizhou City with the Zhennan Army?"

Cheng Tinghui's so-called rural soldiers were actually young and strong recruits temporarily and were not considered an army at all. However, these rural soldiers still had some combat power during the battle to defend the city.

Zhou Yu directly refused and said, "Mr. Cheng, the Wei army in Kangzhou Prefecture should be better off staying in Kangzhou Prefecture. Prevent the rebels from being divided into troops to attack Kangzhou Prefecture. The main force of the more than 1.3 million rebels outside the city of Cizhou is enough with our Zhennan Army."

After the dinner, Zhou Yu returned to the Zhennan Army camp in Yuhuan City and called the four former commanders of the Tu family army, Yang Lun, Zhao Tong, Wei Xie and Huo Qian, to his commander of the four former Tu family army commanders, to his commander.

Zhou Yu said straight to Yang Lun, Zhao Tong, Wei Xie and Huo Qian: "Although Tu Yanbu of the Southern Barbarian Army still under the banner of Tu Family Army to the outside world, his ambitions have been revealed. Generals from Wei from the Southern Barbarian Army, who were also cleansed by Tu Yanbu. I plan to send you four to Cizhou Prefecture to find a way to contact the various brigades of Zhongxiong Yiwei of the Southern Barbarian Army, and strive to bring these elite troops of the Tu Family Army to our Zhennan Army."

After pausing, Zhou Yu continued, "I can promise to the Xiongyi Guard officers and soldiers who are willing to join our Zhennan Army, our Zhennan Army welcomes us with both hands, and even find ways to bring all their families to the five prefectures under our Zhennan Grand Governor's Office. If you want to continue to stay in Wei, I will guarantee that they will not be pursued by the Wei court."

Yang Lun, Zhao Tong, Wei Xie, and Huo Qian looked at each other, and Yang Lun then clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, the four of us will do our best to pull some of the brothers of Xiong Yiwei to our Zhennan Army."

Zhou Yu nodded slightly and said, "You four must be careful. If you don't do anything, hurry up and join the army. The lord values ​​you four very much. If something happens to you four, the lord will definitely not spare me easily."
