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

"My lord, can my two useless sons serve the lord?"

The more Yang Lin talked, the more guilty he felt. Liu Zhang's reaction was so strange, he was happy at one moment and disappointed at the other.

"Yes! Of course! Both young masters are martial arts practitioners, right?"

Yang Lin nodded quickly and introduced his son to Liu Zhang.

"Master Mingjian, my two sons have learned marksmanship from me since they were young, and now they have achieved a little success! Although they are not comparable to the generals under the command of the lord, they are not comparable to ordinary people!"

"How about Lieutenant Bi Yang?"

Hearing Liu Zhang's question, Yang Lin couldn't help showing a hint of complacency.

"My lord, although Yang Lin is old, he is not comparable to these brats! But these two brats have the essence of my marksmanship. It will probably be stronger than my old bones in a few years!"

Liu Zhang was a little ashamed, Yang Lin was in his forties at most, why did he look like he was in his seventies and eighties!

But Liu Zhang also felt relieved, Yang Lin has a hot temper, but his personality and temper are very similar, very straight, without any twists and turns. Yang Lin said that if his son can surpass him, then there should be no problem.

Regarding Yang Lin's ability, Liu Zhang asked Huang Zhong to find out, and Huang Zhong gave a good evaluation. If the force value is calculated according to one hundred, Yang Lin can almost reach eighty, which is between the second-rate and third-rate generals.

Don't underestimate these 80-strong men, they can also kill all directions on the battlefield! It's just that it looks a little mediocre against the backdrop of first-class generals.

"Lieutenant Yang, look at my subordinates, Tai Shici and Zhao Yun, who are good at using spears, and their marksmanship is superb. There is no one who uses spears in the world!"

Liu Zhang felt that what he said was a bit too much, as if he looked down on Yang Lin by saying this, but Yang Lin was not displeased.

"You might as well ask Yang Ang and Yang Ren to choose one, and I'll ask Tai Shici and Zhao Yun to take your two sons as lieutenants respectively. First, they will learn the art of war, and second, they can improve their martial arts. What do you think?"

In fact, what Liu Zhang said was a bit hurtful. Yang Lin himself was good at using spears, and now he asked his two sons to learn from others, obviously looking down on Yang Lin.

But Yang Lin didn't feel unhappy at all, instead he was very excited.

"My lord, that's great! I have learned the martial arts of the two generals Zhao Yun and Tai Shici for a long time, and they are more than a hundred times better than me! It is really a great thing to have them teach me!"

Liu Zhang was naturally relieved by Yang Lin's reaction, and had more expectations for Yang Ang and Yang Ren.

"Okay, then this matter is settled like this! After you go back, let them go as soon as possible!"

Yang Lin and Yan Shan were very excited, which also made them feel wise to recognize Liu Zhang as the master.

"Obey! I'll make arrangements as soon as I get back!"

"By the way, the banditry in Hanzhong County is clear now. It would be a waste of resources to allocate five hundred county soldiers to each county. I intend to gather these county soldiers and practice them diligently. They can also be used in the future."

After all, there were 6,000 soldiers, and they couldn't be kept in the county town all the time, so Liu Zhang naturally wanted to use them.

"My lord, I have no objections. I don't know who is going to be their commander?"

Although Yang Lin is a county lieutenant, he doesn't have much desire for military power, as can be seen from his frank expression.

Liu Zhang chuckled and patted Yang Lin on the shoulder.

"Lieutenant Yang, what are you talking about? You are the captain, so of course you organized the training!"

Yang Lin was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed. I thought that I had just belonged to Liu Zhang, and I would never be so reused, but I didn't expect Liu Zhang to value me so much.

"My lord, don't worry! I will train these county soldiers well!"

Liu Zhang was very pleased with Yang Lin's attitude, and he was worthy of this trust just for this momentum.

"Okay! Lieutenant Yang, go and gather all these county soldiers and station them at Yangping Pass. From now on, you will be the guard of Yangping Pass!"

Yang Lin didn't hesitate, and surrendered directly, but he did have some doubts about being stationed near Yangping Pass.

"My lord, are the Liangzhou rebels coming to attack Hanzhong?"

"I don't know, we can only take precautions! If Liangzhou soldiers want to attack Hanzhong, they must take Qishan Avenue. If we are not prepared and let them suddenly appear at Yangping Pass, it will definitely make Yangping pass fall! At that time The land of Hanzhong is safe to defend!"

Liu Zhang is not sure whether Hanzhong will be attacked. If calculated according to the historical process, the governor of Liangzhou only attacked the Xiliang rebels after the civil strife in Bianzhang Han Sui in the year after next year in 187. Although Geng Bi’s death method and history It was exactly the same, but the time was two years earlier!

Geng Bi's death once again sounded the alarm for Liu Zhang. God knows if Han Sui will mutiny ahead of time? Will it be more powerful than it has been in history?

Everything has variables! Liu Zhang can no longer simply rely on memory to do certain things.

For example, Yangping Pass must be fortified! Yangping Pass is different from Hulao Pass and Hangu Pass. It is a pass city built on a mountain. Yangpingguan connects two mountain peaks and stands at the intersection of Jinniu Road and Chencang Road. It can resist troops from Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Yizhou at the same time.

Because of this, Yangping Pass on Zoumaling is actually more like occupying a favorable location. However, it is not an exaggeration to call this location a natural danger. As long as you defend carefully, the enemy will never steal it.

However, if the precautions are not proper, it is very easy to be stolen into the pass, thus making Yangping pass fall.

In history, Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, was easily opened by Zhang Lu because he didn't care about the defense of Yangping Pass, thus completely capturing Hanzhong step by step.

If the Liangzhou rebels made up their minds to enter Hanzhong first, it must not be as simple as leading 30,000 to 50,000 horses, but it must be another 100,000 people! Yangping Pass became the most solid fortress against these rebels.

Once the Yangping Pass is broken and a hundred thousand troops enter the Hanzhong Plain, Liu Zhang is really helpless!

With tens of thousands of recruits fighting against 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, no matter how arrogant Liu Zhang is, he knows that he is no match for it!

"Lieutenant Yang, after you are stationed at Yangping Pass, you must not only train your troops as soon as possible, but also keep an eye on the movement of Qishan Road! Yangping Pass needs to be more prepared for the defense against the direction of Qishan Road!"

Seeing that Liu Zhang was so serious, Yang Lin didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately made a promise.

"Don't worry, my lord. When I arrive at Yangping Pass, I will definitely pay attention to defense. Even if the Liangzhou rebels have an army of 100,000, they will keep them out of the pass!"

Liu Zhang nodded, feeling very relieved about Yang Lin. Although Yang Lin is irritable, he is not a careless person. He will definitely implement what he said.

Even if Yang Lin couldn't defend Yangping Pass, he wouldn't be breached in an instant, and he would definitely give Liu Zhang time to react.

"Yan Juncheng, hurry up and count the supplies in Hanzhong County. Our soldiers and horses are being recruited, and the number will increase rapidly. We must always pay attention to the soldiers, horses, food, equipment, and equipment, and we must not make any mistakes!"

"Yes, I will check it immediately and give the Lord a reply as soon as possible!"

Liu Zhang himself did some calculations in his mind. He brought 200,000 shi of grain and grass from Luoyang, and what he consumed along the way was almost the grain stored in the treasury of Hanzhong. Yizhou Governor's Mansion promised to provide 500,000 shi, and now it has reached 300,000 shi, plus the 150,000 shi seized by the bandits, there should be nine hundred thousand shi in total if there is food and grass!

These grains and grasses are definitely enough for now, and they can support a hundred thousand troops for a year! What's more, Liu Zhang has an army of 100,000!

The most important thing is that Liu Zhang still has the chess piece of Panzhou in his hand, he can threaten the governor of Yizhou at any time, if Quejian dares not to follow his orders, he can threaten him with this imperial axe at any time!

Before he knew it, Liu Zhang also lived a life without worrying about food and grass!
