Chapter 239: Entering Yanmen Pass
After Zhao Bao and Li Yi's level was improved, Zhou still started other matters, and the merits must not be used with a single essence, because the dream and real space window can be opened at any time, and you must save your merits just in case.
There are Zhu Chongba in Zhoucheng Construction, Li Yi and Zhao Bao in defense. Now, except for the uncertain factors, Chen Daoyi, there is nothing else to take into account.
The princes and pioneers could not leave because he did not have subordinates like Zhu Chongba, so he wanted to stay and build his own village.
Moutian, Xisuo and others followed Zhou Yiran to leave, after all, their upgrade depends on actual combat.
"Did you decide to go to the battle?"
Liu Mengli hugged Zhou Yiran from behind.
"I still didn't hide it from you!" Zhou Yiran originally ordered everyone to ban Liu Mengli, and he would never ask for anything about the conquest. However, how could such a large-scale dispatch of troops not attract Liu Mengli's attention?
"Aren't you doing it for power?" Liu Mengli said.
"I'm not!"
"Then, I want to go with you!" Liu Mengli's voice was very stern and stubborn.
Zhou Yiran turned around and said, "You are more suitable to stay here, your spell is suitable for defense!"
"Then I should follow the Piaotianwen Network.
Zhou Yiran shook his head gently and said, "I know you will follow."
"I will take it with you!"
Chen Daoyi didn't know when he would come back and would bring any bad news, but the military order had been issued and could not be modified, so Zhou still set out in a unified army.
Zhou still does not have the ability to command troops, but Zhou can still mobilize military generals. Military generals have the ability to mobilize military generals. For Zhou Yiran, the fatal blow is his general's defection. If his generals do not defect, then even if they are defeated, it will not cause a fatal blow to Zhou Yiran.
Ma Zhan and other 70,000 people were escorted to food and grass. Food and grass were the source of the blood and morale of the army. Zhou could still abandon 150,000 people, but he would never abandon food and grass.
Zhao Yun's troops were at the forefront, and in the middle was Ma Zhan and others escorting food and grass, and Zhang Liao cut off the rear.
The three-horse chain carriages are transporting food and grass. Such cars march fast, but the disadvantage is that they are loaded with a lot of food and grass. Losing a three-horse chain carriage will cause a lot of food and grass to be lost. However, few people can break through Zhao Yun's 150,000 or Zhang Liao's 80,000.
Zhang Liao's maximum command limit reached 200,000. However, Zhou still considered Zhang Liao's loyalty and decided to command 80,000 troops.
After the army left Zhoucheng, Zhou still began to carefully observe the situation outside Zhoucheng.
In Zhoucheng, Zhou is still not unwilling to worry about the situation outside Zhoucheng, but these situations are just listened to people's reports and rarely walked out of it.
It seems that Zhoucheng is a besieged city, still surrounding Zhou in the center.
There are already several small city walls outside Zhoucheng. Although these city walls are small, I believe they will grow soon. Zhou still grew to this point in just one year. What about these city walls?
Zhou Yiran's sweep of bandits in Youzhou brought benefits to these villages. It was precisely because Zhou Yiran swept all the bandits that they were able to develop well without worrying about external intrusion.
But in the same way, because the bandit general was captured by Zhou Yiran, their chances of obtaining bandit generals in the early stage would be extremely low. Zhou Yiran helped them, but at the same time he also took away their chances of obtaining generals in the early stage.
Zhou Yiran met low-level bandit generals such as Zhao Xiong and Zhao Bao in the early stage. Later, he encountered low-level horse bandit generals such as Ma Zhan. These generals have grown to this day and are no less than any high-level general or even transferred generals.
Some villages know that they are in the powerful Trail Blazers, but they have only seen the high wall and have never seen a large-scale army attack. Some Trail Blazers are determined to have the same army as Zhou Yiran. More Trail Blazers envy Zhou Yiran's luck.
But, he and Zhou also started step by step.
In the early days, Zhou Yiran relied on the side-by-side battle of Liu Mengli, a wise man, to survive. After acquiring the strategist Li Jiangshan, Zhou Yiran's development truly took off.
Because of Li Jiangshan's appearance, Zhou still survived several disasters. Because of Li Jiangshan's appearance, Zhou still had his current troops.
If it weren't for Li Jiangshan, maybe Zhou would still no longer exist now.
The importance of the counselor's land can be imagined.
At the same time, Zhou Cang's contribution was not inferior to Li Jiangshan, and Zhou Cang's contribution was incomparable to even Zhao Bao, who followed Zhou Yiran at the beginning.
Before obtaining Zhou Cang, Zhou still had only a few middle and low-level generals. Zhou Cang, a senior general, appeared, which allowed Zhou still to have the strength to fight against the enemy.
Although Zhou Cang's power is now a little weak in front of Zhao Yun and others, and is not even as good as Zhao Bao and Li Yi, Zhou Cang's contributions are absolutely undestroyable.
The most important person in the rear was Zhu Chongba. Without the village chief of the Carpenter Village who was the first to follow him, he would not have so much energy to complete the promotion battle.
Zhu Chongba's contribution to building the city wall is the first. It is precisely because of this that Zhu Chongba became the second person to change his position after Li Jiangshan. Moreover, Zhu Chongba directly changed his position from a mortal to a saint. From this point of view, Li Jiangshan's transformation from a senior strategist to a god-winning strategist was not as good as Zhu Chongba's transformation from a saint without any help.
Secondly, Chen Daoyi, an uncertain factor.
Because of Chen Daoyi, he has avoided many disasters, and Chen Daoyi can help him solve difficult questions at any time. It seems that no difficult question can stump Chen Daoyi.
It is precisely because of these people that Zhou Yiran has reached his current position, with such a huge army and powerful deterrence.
Walking on the way to Yanmen Pass, Zhou Yiran secretly recorded the gradually powerful pioneer.
Because the Yellow Turban Uprising reached 10,000, the plot of the Yellow Turban Uprising began, the number of trailblazers should have reached 10,000.
This is not a large number of lands. A prefecture and county as big as Youzhou only have more than a hundred pioneers. The ratio of strong to wise should be around this number.
There are pioneers everywhere, strong people, and wise people, and situations cannot occur.
It is impossible for a state and county to have more than 300 strong and wise men, which is Zhou Yiran's speculation.
Newcomers enter every day, and strong people die every day. What exactly does this world appear? Zhou Yiran is thinking about this question every day, but this is like a mystery. He has not yet revealed the mystery.
There are several small city walls outside Zhoucheng, and the rest are small and medium-sized villages. They do not have the strength to compete with Zhou Yiren, but the future is unpredictable.
There is a balance in this world, which Zhou Yiren knows.
At first, Shura came to the village and killed the cultivators. The evolved Yin soldiers came to the village and were destroyed by Chen Daoyi.
This is a balance point. Zhou Yiran didn't know what consequences would be if he destroyed these villages. Whether Chen Daoyi came to kill him, or his merit monument was damaged, everything was unpredictable.
Along the road, only Zhou Yiran's city walls can compare with towns like Zhuojun, while other villages and small town walls cannot compare with towns like Zhuojun.
Is it because of these pioneers who do not have the authority to Youzhou?
Zhou still linked these pioneers with his inability to have the authority of Youzhou.
Two days later, Zhou still settled in Yanmen Pass.
After entering Yanmen Pass, Zhou still understood why Yanmen Pass became the first line of defense to resist the Huns. Yanmen Pass once had a cliff and one side had a cliff, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Keeping Yanmen Pass is equivalent to guarding the gate of the Central Plains.
Zhao Xiong personally welcomed him. Zhao Xiong had been stationed in Yanmen Pass for several months without any slackness. Zhao Xiong's military discipline was strict and he would never allow drinking or leaving his post without permission.
Thousands of people were stationed in Yanmen Pass, all of whom were hunters. Zhao Xiong Yan ordered soldiers not to harass the people, and those who violated the orders were executed.
Because of this, no people in Yanmen Pass still had any complaints about Zhao Xiong and Zhou. Originally, Yanmen Pass was the place of Bingzhou, but now it has become the gate of Youzhou, and the people are mostly discomfort. However, because of Zhao Xiong's strict military discipline, the people accepted the fact that Yanmen became the gate of Youzhou.
"Lord!" Zhao Xiong came out. When he saw that there was no Zhao Bao behind Zhou Yiran, he knew that Zhao Bao was guarding Zhou Cheng and could not escape.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Zhou Yiran patted Zhao Xiong on the shoulder and walked into Yanmen Pass.
Standing at the head of Yanmen Pass, Zhou Yiran looked out and saw the vast view of the front battlefield. Such a pass must not be lost!
Ma Zhan also entered Yanmen Pass, but Zhou still decided to leave some of the food and grass at Yanmen Pass. In the future, the food and grass were in short supply and then transported from Yanmen Pass.
Zhou Yiran asked Huang Zhong where he was. After passing Yanmen Pass, Huang Zhong went straight to Hulao Pass and Zhou Cang for a round, and now he may have been in the same place with Zhou Cang.
More than 300,000 troops were adjusted at Yanmen Pass, and Zhou still sent cavalry to Hulao Pass to inquire about the news.
