At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

The happy time is always very short. Five days later, Liu Zhang officially ended his vacation.

All the troops in Hanzhong County have been arranged, and all the generals under his command have gathered in Nanzheng, and the soldiers and horses are also on standby at any time.

In Nanzheng County Governor's Mansion, Liu Zhang was full of vigor and majesty, sitting in the main seat, and the lower right hand sat the civil servants, followed by Jia Xu, Xun You, Yan Shan, Guoyuan, Sun Qian, and Yan Pu. Below the left hand sits a group of generals, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Pan Feng.

Looking at the civil and military men under his command, Liu Zhang couldn't help feeling a little proud. Although it is not considered as fierce generals like clouds and counselors like rain, it is definitely the top configuration at the moment!

Looking at all the states and counties of the Han Dynasty, which prince can have such a luxurious opening configuration? All this is the result of Liu Zhang's hard work.

"Everyone has followed me for many years, and there are new ones. This does not affect my trust in you! I, Liu Zhang, started fighting from the first year of Zhongping to today's first year of Chuping! In six years, I have been from ten A five-year-old immature boy has also reached the year of today's weak crown!"

"But! The previous six years are nothing at all, because from today, from now on, we will really start to fight! For the people of the world, for the country, for the foundation of the Han Dynasty!"

"Today's situation in the world must be clear to all of you. Dong Zhuo dominates the court, and the Kwantung princes are unstoppable! The chaos of the past Spring and Autumn and Warring States is about to reappear! I, Liu Zhang, as a descendant of the great ancestor and the descendant of the Queen of Han, naturally cannot watch The feudal lords are wantonly poisoning my Liu family’s great rivers and mountains! I hope that all the military advisers and generals will work together with me to put down the troubled times as soon as possible and restore the world to a bright future!"

Everyone on the left and right sides straightened up and looked at Liu Zhang with folded hands.

"I am willing to assist the lord to establish an invincible merit!"

Liu Zhang nodded slightly, very satisfied with this answer.

"Okay! I won't say more if you are being polite. We will work together in the future! Wenhe, please tell us about the current situation in Hanzhong."

After all, after leaving for so long, Hanzhong has undergone rapid changes, and the civil servants and generals under his command also need to have a clear understanding of their own group.

Jia Xu, who had just knelt down, straightened up again without any dissatisfaction.

"My lord, due to the influence of the Yellow Turban Bandits and Ma Xiang in Yizhou's Ba County and Shu County, a large number of refugees have poured into Hanzhong, Liangzhou, and Sanfu due to their own reasons. According to the Lord's instructions Instructions, all refugees will be accepted! Now Hanzhong County has a total population of 620,000! If you include the population that the lord migrated from Luoyang this time, it is estimated to reach about 650,000!"

Even with the mental preparation, Liu Zhang was still a little shocked when he heard this number!

Six hundred and fifty thousand! You must know that when Liu Zhang first arrived in Hanzhong, the population was less than 300,000! The changes in just a few years have more than doubled!

Of course, there are also reasons for the relocation of the people of Wudu County, but generally speaking, Hanzhong County still attracts most of the refugees.

"Wenhe has worked hard! This number really shocked me!"

Jia Xu shook his head lightly, and pointed to a young man.

"My lord, it's not my fault. The various affairs in Hanzhong County are complicated, and it's impossible for me to cover them all. Yan Pu is responsible for the resettlement of this population."

Liu Zhang turned his head to look at Yan Pu. This young man with a very ordinary appearance is really worthy of Zhang Lu's respected figure. He is extraordinary at a young age!

"Zimao, I did not misread you!"

Yan Pu is different from his father Yan Shan, he usually doesn't like to talk, but his seriousness and talent far exceed his father Yan Shan's.

"Without the lord's appreciation, Yan Pu wouldn't be where he is today! Yan Pu is really lucky to be able to serve the lord!"

Yan Pu's gratitude to Liu Zhang cannot be expressed in words, and he was awarded the head of a county by Liu Zhang in the year of weak crown, and Yan Shan was shocked by the degree of importance.

"Okay! Zimao's talent is far more than that, and it will be of great use in the future!"

Liu Zhang is very clear about Yan Pu's talent, and when there are more states and counties in the future, Yan Pu will definitely be the prefect of any county!

"Thank you, my lord!"

Yan Pu was immediately overjoyed, he was quite satisfied with his current situation, he never thought that Liu Zhang would use him more!

"Wenhe, how much food does Hanzhong County have? Can it support the army's conquest?"

Hearing the word conquest, all the generals on the left raised their ears.

"My lord, now Hanzhong County has plenty of grain and grass, and there are 1.4 million shi in stock. If we urgently allocate from the people, we can still get together about 200,000 shi!"

"What! So many? When I left Hanzhong, didn't I only have 800,000 shi?"

Liu Zhang clearly remembered that during his three years in Hanzhong, he had only saved 800,000 shi. He did not expect that after leaving for a year and a half, he would equalize the three-year stock!

"Zini, you should say it yourself!"

Jia Xu pointed at Guoyuan, and once again gave the credit to others.

Guoyuan was also polite, and directly reported to Liu Zhang.

"Master, now our Hanzhong County not only has military settlements, but also civilian settlements! Hanzhong is rich in water and soil resources, and it is simply a natural granary! I believe that the output will be even higher in the future!"

Liu Zhang gave Guoyuan a gratified look, and he also rejoiced in his heart for his five-year dedication to Guoyuan! Without Guoyuan, how can there be today's Hanzhong farming?

"Okay! Zini, just go ahead and do it! In the future, we will never be able to do without you!"

"Obey!"

Guoyuan took Liu Zhang's order with confidence. Strictly speaking, this is Guoyuan's first meritorious service under Liu Zhang's command!

"Good! You are worthy of being my confidants! The situation in Hanzhong County is better than I imagined!"

With the double guarantee of population and food, Liu Zhang is more confident in his future conquests!

"Gongda, tell me about the military strength of Hanzhong County!"

Liu Zhang is very clear about the deployment of the soldiers under his command. This time Xun You was asked to report in public to tell everyone and let everyone know the military strength of Hanzhong.

"Obey!"

Xun You accepted the order with an obvious look of excitement on his face.

"At present, there are eight battalions of soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, including 10,000 people in the Wufeng Battalion, 5,000 people in the Wushe Battalion, 3,000 people in the Wuwei Battalion, 1,000 people in the Wuqi Battalion, 5,000 people in the Wubu Battalion, and 4,000 people in the Wubu Battalion. Thousands of soldiers, 1,000 people in the camp, 6,000 county soldiers, more than 11,000 mixed soldiers from the original Xiyuan Army and Yulin Army, and 10,000 soldiers from the field who were transformed from bandits."

"A total of 56,000 people!"

Liu Zhang was relatively calm this time, and it was the turn of the others to be shocked, especially the civil servants.

Fifty-six thousand troops, what is this concept?

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it could subvert the military power of the entire Yizhou!

During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao had already occupied Si, Yu, Yan, and Xu states, and he could only use 30,000 troops to fight Yuan Shao!

Why Liu Zhang is so confident, his confidence comes from these elite soldiers!
