Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Geng Bi sat outside the city of Guzang and watched the military performing martial arts, and personally rewarded those who were good at riding and shooting. Zhang-jaw Pound competed in archery skills, and finally Liu Ye sat on the city’s head and shot through the wooden stake with an arrow. After watching the fierce generals compete in shooting skills, the morale of the Liangzhou army rose sharply. Although most of them were recruits, they had extraordinary combat power under the high morale.

After that, Geng Bi personally patrolled the army. Except for the besieged Longxi County, all the additional reinforcements sent by the other counties except Jiuquan County have arrived.

Wudu County had 80,000 people and 12,000 troops.

Anding County has 27,000 troops and 4,000 troops.

There are more than 18,000 people in Beidi County and 3,000 troops.

There were more than 34,000 soldiers in Wuwei County and 7,000 troops, but 5,000 of them were taken by the middle-range ball to rescue Longxi County, so only 2,000 people remained, as the contemptible soldiers.

Zhangye County has 46,000 people and 7,000 troops.

Dunhuang County has a population of 30,000 and dispatched 5,000 troops.

In addition, Tianshui County, where Liu Ye is located, sent 10,000 troops. This time the total strength of the coalition forces of Liangzhou counties is 43,000, but it does not include the reinforcements of Jiuquan County.

The reinforcements of Jiuquan County were too late, and Geng Bi was too lazy to wait. He directly gave an order to the prefect of Jiuquan County Huang Yan. The army marched south, and the reinforcements of Jiuquan County immediately joined the south.

In April of the fourth year of Zhongping, the governor of Liangzhou, Geng Bi, joined the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou counties and went south to crusade against Han Sui.

On this day, the army drove to Di Dao, and Geng Bi received good news.

"Ju Shi, the soldiers and horses of Huangjun Guard in Jiuquan County are ten miles away and are approaching our army."

Ma Teng's tall figure suddenly entered the military account and said to Geng Bi.

Geng Bi raised his head with joy: "Oh, Huang Jun is here?"

Jiuquan County is one of the largest counties in Liangzhou, with a population of 60,000. In addition to Tianshui County and Wudu County, the other is Jiuquan County. If Huang Yan leads his army to come, there will be nearly 10,000 troops. The total number of the army exceeds 50,000, and the odds of winning further increase.

"It's so good, how many troops did Huang Junshou bring?" Geng Bi asked.

Ma Teng was also full of excitement: "Ju Shi, Huang Jun Shouzu brought 20,000 troops!"

"What?" Geng Bi was stunned. With a total of 20,000 troops, could it be possible for Huang Yan to bring all the men from Jiuquan County? After all, the total population of Jiuquan County is 60,000, and the number of men is around 30,000. With such a calculation, basically except for children and old men, I am afraid that all young people will be pulled out.

"Huang County guards bring so many people here, will Jiuquan County drink Northwest Wind in the coming year?" Geng Bi frowned. Although he issued a recruitment order, it was limited, but Huang Yan brought too many people. After that, it will definitely affect the spring ploughing in the coming year. At that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Governor to relieve the situation.

Ma Teng persuaded: "Huang Junshou has brought the army now, and I am afraid it will be useless to say anything else, otherwise I should go to see Huang Junshou and talk about it."

Geng Bi snorted, and then sighed: "That's all, this is the only solution for the present."

After all, Geng Bi walked out of the camp, and Ma Teng walked out of the camp with him behind him.

There was smoke and dust on the opposite side, and a large army slowly lined up with a yellow flag on it. It was obviously the army of Huang Yan, the prefect of Jiuquan County.

This army is marching in an orderly manner, and there is a courageous temperament permeating up and down. Everyone can see that this army is definitely not a novice even if it is not an elite of a hundred warriors.

The battle-tested Ma Teng couldn't help but frown: Most of Huang Yan's subordinates are recruits, so why are they so savvy, is it possible that he misses Huang Yan? Is he a hidden warrior?

Ma Teng couldn't help the doubts in his chest, and said to Geng before him: "Tianshi, do you know how many troops there were in Jiuquan County before?"

Geng Bi turned around and said, "About six thousand people, what's wrong?"

Ma Teng said with a face full of doubts: "Now Huang Yan has 20,000 soldiers, and among them, the veterans are not as many as 41 of them, but this army is orderly and has a tough temperament. It definitely does not look like an army with a large number of recruits."

Geng Bi also frowned. He who grew up in Liangzhou was considered a military strategist. He just felt something was wrong before, but when Ma Teng said this, he immediately understood.

"Maybe Huang Yan lined up the elite team in front, and the recruits are all in the rear?"

"maybe……"

Ma Teng always felt something was wrong, but he really couldn't tell, so he had to follow Geng Bi and continue to move forward.

After seeing Geng Bi from a distance, Huang Yan immediately got off his horse, followed by more than a hundred of his guards, and walked towards Geng Bi.

But after seeing Ma Teng next to Geng Bi, the sharp-eyed Huang Yan couldn't help frowning, and said to the person next to him: "Did you see the tall man next to Geng Bi?"

"I saw it, why?"

"He is called Ma Teng, Sima in Geng Bi's army. He is quite brave. Be careful later."

"Oh, I see."

After the man had finished speaking, he closed his mouth, then raised his head slightly, and looked at the opposite person with the eyes of a yin bird: I saw that he was wearing armor and robes, walking around, surrounded by dozens of guards, and on his left There was a tall man in the back, with a firm eyebrow, and looked quite brave.

"Huh, you have to see within five steps, who can win this general in Liangzhou!"

At this time, the distance between Huang Yan and Geng Bi was finally close to within twenty steps.

Huang Yan smiled and said, "Huang Yan pays homage to the governor."

Geng Bi frowned and said with a sullen face: "Huang Junshou, a certain person asked you to double the army, why did you enlist 20,000 troops? Why don't you also call the baby doll and the old man lying on the couch. What?"

Huang Yan smiled awkwardly when he heard the words: "What did Geng Cishi say? Isn't this worrying about national affairs? Besides, a certain man just posted a recruiting order in Jiuquan County, and all the men enthusiastically joined the army, so this is no way."

Geng Bi snorted: "You have conquered these many troops, how about this autumn harvest? Is it possible that a certain person allocates relief from Jiuquan County's 60,000 people from the governor's mansion?"

Huang Yan lowered his head and said, "The government knows it was wrong, but nowadays national affairs are important, and the governor has replaced the official, so he has no complaints, but the official feels that it is better to wait until the rebel Han Sui is eliminated. After pacifying Liangzhou, how about convicting officials?"

Geng Bi sighed: "It's fine, after you go back, you will cut your salary for half a year to help Jiuquan County. Let's go with the officer into the camp first."

"Here." Huang Yan nodded and agreed, and a figure behind him suddenly jumped out, stabbing Geng Bi with a sword!
