Everyone was surprised when they heard Chen Gong's suggestion. Dong Ying said incomprehensibly: "Cao Cao is our enemy, how can we join forces with them?" Chen Gong looked at Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang thought: "That's not necessarily true! Cao Cao is more of a hero than Liu Bei, Sun Jian and others! In his heart, the well-being of the entire Chinese clan is above all else! He will not surrender to the imperial power, because the imperial power cannot save him.

The people of the family and the country, so the imperial power in his hands is just a

A tool that can be used; he can use his father's death to achieve his goals, because in his heart, there is something more important than his father. The world says Cao Cao is a traitor, but I say he is a hero! In this world, people like Cao Cao

It’s not too much, it’s too little!”

Dong Ying and others looked at Zhang Lang blankly, not quite understanding what he said. Chen Gong looked at Zhang Lang with excitement, clasped his fists and said: "My lord's evaluation is so appropriate! But regarding the whereabouts of my subordinates, my lord is

A hero who is even better than Cao Cao! Although Cao Cao has extraordinary ambitions, he is too cruel! My lord is not the same. Not only does he have extraordinary ambitions, but he also values ​​love and justice!"

Zhang Lang smiled and thought: "This suggestion from Gongtai is shocking and difficult to implement! Throughout the ages, almost no one has been able to unite to fight against foreign enemies!"

Chen Gong frowned and nodded, "That's true." He clasped his fist at Zhang Lang and said, "Master, although things are difficult, as long as you do it, there is still a possibility of success!"

Zhang Lang nodded and told Dong Ying: "Yingying, immediately write three letters according to Gongtai's suggestion and send someone to send them to Wenhe, Kongming and Xiaozhi, asking them to write down their opinions and opinions in letters.

Send it to Luoyang, I want to see it." Dong Ying clasped her fists in agreement and ran down the beacon tower.

Zhang Lang said to Chen Gong: "Whether we can unite with Cao Cao or not, it is necessary to give up the Five Plains in Yunzhong. You start doing this immediately!" "No."

Zhang Lang turned his head and looked towards the inside of the Great Wall. He saw thousands of miles of picturesque scenery, with beautiful green mountains at the top and endless grasslands and grain fields at the bottom. Zhang Lang couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many beautiful mountains and rivers that have attracted countless heroes to their knees!"

"Everyone around me felt the same and couldn't help but feel excited.

Zhang Lang smiled and said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai has managed Bingzhou very well. I think it has almost returned to the level before the Yellow Turban Rebellion!" Chen Gong looked at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the distance and couldn't help but said: "This is not enough.

I want to turn Bingzhou into a rich area like Guanzhong!" Zhang Lang said with a smile: "This day will not be far away!" Chen Gong nodded seriously.

Zhang Lang thought: "I think the civilian army in Bingzhou should be doubled. What does Gongtai think?"

Chen Gong smiled and clasped his fists and said: "This subordinate was just about to make such a suggestion." After a pause, he frowned and said: "Bingzhou is bound to become a war-torn battlefield. I believe that the military household system should be fully implemented in Bingzhou.

All available young adults will be incorporated into the civilian army to prepare for emergencies."

Zhang Lang thought and nodded, "Why not move the people in Wuyuan Yunzhong to Bingzhou and integrate them all into military households!" Chen Gong thought and nodded. Zhang Lang smiled and said: "Same as before.

, I don’t have a penny to give you, you have to find a way to get money to do this for me!” Chen Gong cupped his fists and said, “Don’t worry, my lord! I will definitely live up to my orders!”

A general in armor rushed to the beacon tower, knelt down to Zhang Lang and said, "To the general, the Dingxiang County civilian army has been ordered to come, please review the general!"

Zhang Lang looked at the general and asked, "What's your name? When were you born?"

"The villain Duan Hao was originally an officer of the Tiger Wing Army. Half a year ago, he was ordered by the General to leave the Tiger Wing Army and serve as officers of all levels of the Bingzhou People's Army. The villain was originally a general and was appointed as the Dingxiang People's Army.

Military commander."

Zhang Lang nodded, "How many people are there in your Dingxiang People's Army?"

"Reporting back to the general, the Dingxiang people's army has a total of 25,000 people, including 5,000 horse troops and 20,000 infantry troops."

"Did you prepare the weapons, armor, horses, etc. yourself?"

"Reporting back to the general, the armors are all issued by the governor's office, and the weapons and horses are prepared by myself."

"Is there enough equipment?"

"Reporting back to the general, everything else is enough, but there is a real shortage of armor. The Dingxiang people's army under my command has 25,000 people. Only 3,000 of them can be equipped with light leather armor, and there is no iron armor at all." Zhang Lang revealed.

He looked thoughtful. He knew what Duan Hao said. The people's army has been lacking armor since its establishment. First, because armor and other materials must be given priority to ensure the main force.

Secondly, the production of armor is time-consuming, laborious and expensive. Zhang Lang did not allocate much funds to the militia army, so the equipment of the militia army could not be very good! In a situation like the Dingxiang militia army, in all the militia army

The army is pretty good. For example, in the civilian army in Xiliang, Guanzhong, only officers can have leather armor. They can't have one weapon per person, and there is also a serious shortage of war horses!

After all, the civilian army is only a supplement and reserve force for the main army. It is obviously unrealistic to use the civilian army as a pillar.

Zhang Lang came down from the beacon tower surrounded by everyone. Dong Ying came over and reported: "Brother, the letters have been sent out." Zhang Lang nodded and said with a smile: "Come with me to see our militia in Dingxiang!

"Dong Ying nodded.

A group of people got on their horses and rode to a small hill. They reined in their horses and looked around. They saw nearly 10,000 cavalry troops in formation at the foot of the hillside, with 5,000 cavalry troops on the left and 5,000 infantry troops.

On the right, among the 10,000 horses, only 3,000 were wearing leather armor. The others were all wearing green cloth shirts and green turbans. Although these militiamen had uneven armor, their morale was high, and their flags were flapping in the wind.

Duan Hao rode his horse to the front of the army and shouted: "The Dingxiang people's army has not yet paid homage to the general!"

Ten thousand soldiers bowed down together, and the crowd was filled with darkness, "Greetings to the general! Greetings to the general!"

Zhang Lang raised his right hand.

Ten thousand soldiers of the people's army stood up. Duan Hao was the first to shout: "Long live the general!" Ten thousand soldiers raised their weapons and shouted: "Long live! Long live!"

Zhang Lang showed a satisfied smile. Although these civilian armies cannot be compared with any regular army, they are still a force that can always be used. In fact, it is very good for the civilian army to have such an appearance. We cannot expect such an army to lack equipment.

How can the trained civilian army compete with the regular army! That is unrealistic! The civilian army is just a supplementary force!

Before nightfall, Zhang Lang and his party returned to Shanwucheng, the seat of Dingxiang County. As soon as they sat down in the hotel, the guards came to report that Ma Teng, the general of the Yingyang Army, had come to see him. Ma Teng, the commander of the Yingyang Army, Yingyang
Chapter completed!
