After the New Year, Lu Ning was serving Cai Yan wholeheartedly. It was now that Cai Yan was about to give birth, and everything else was handled by his subordinates. Finally in February, Cai Yan finally helped Lu Ning give birth to a fat and fat boy. This made Lu Ning extremely excited. Lu Ning named this son Lu Yue and asked Cai Yan to have a good rest. Lu Ning was busy asking his officials to eat and drink, and he should let the guests who came to congratulate him, which made Lu Ning a little overwhelmed.

According to the information sent back by Taishici, the joint army of the Xianbei Tartars is now gathering closely, and it is estimated that it will be completed in two months. Lu Ning immediately called Guo Jia, Tian Chou, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Sima Lang, Gu Yong, Guan Ning, Cai Yong, Zhang Yang, Ma Jun and others to study it in detail.

After everyone sat down, Lu Ning said: "I am going to re-establish three departments of the Military Affairs Office, General Staff Department, General Logistics Department, and Ministry of War. The General Staff Department has a combat department, an intelligence department, an officer management department, and a general management department. The responsibility of the General Staff Department is to formulate combat plans, study combat methods and methods, be responsible for collecting various military intelligence, and manage the mobilization and use of generals and officers above the lieutenant. I announced that Guo Jia will serve as the Chief of Staff of the General Staff Department, and all the establishment and daily work of the General Staff Department are fully in charge of Guo Jia.

Responsible. The General Logistics Department has equipment offices, transportation offices, planning offices, etc., which are responsible for the preparation and transportation of all strategic materials of our army. The Ministry of War has a Military Law Office, a Soldier Management Office, an Assessment Office, and the rear is responsible for the implementation of military laws and military regulations, the formulation and improvement of military disciplines of our army, the management of soldiers, the assessment of soldiers and generals, and the corresponding assessment system is formulated, especially the assessment system for military merits. I announce that Tian Chou will serve as the minister of the General Logistics Department, and Tian Chou will serve as the minister for the Ministry of War."

Guo Jia and Tian Chou stood up and said, "I will never let down my lord's trust."

Lu Ning said: "Fengxiao, you integrate the commercial outlets of the Zhen family and Mi family. You are responsible for establishing and managing our army's military intelligence bureau. You have the right to deal with it. What you want to do is your business, and I don't know much."

Guo Jia said: "It's the lord."

Lu Ning continued: "Our army has few troops and has a wide area of ​​jurisdiction. We do not have more troops in the Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and Shuofang to slaughter heavy troops, so we should wipe out all the Xianbei Tartars in Longcheng and Langjuxushan, and the small tribes in the second place will also be solved. Xu Huang listened to the order, you lead 10,000 flying bear army and bring 10,000 chariots to complete the clearance of Longcheng and Langjuxushan. If you have time, you will directly attack Ding Ling. Anyway, sooner or later there will be conquering. After the clearance is over, we will choose a place in Longcheng and build a large city to accommodate disaster victims and refugees. Gongming, you must be mentally prepared for long-term combat and put all kinds of materials into place.

You should bring enough time to go, especially the arrows and salt. Your food can only support the use of your army for more than 20 days. In the future, you must rely on you to rob the prairie yourself. You must make the difficult plan of fighting while driving cattle and sheep. You will encounter many difficulties and must be solved by yourself. You must send a large number of scouts every day to conduct reconnaissance and search within a range of 2 or 300 kilometers. Never be careless. Even if you clear the Xianbei cavalry in Budugen, your army should have no problems, but you should not be careless. After all, there are still 2 or 30,000 cavalry in Budugen. If you cannot give them time to assemble, then there will be no problem with your victory."

Xu Huang stood up and said, "Don't worry, lord, I will complete the task."

Sima Lang said: "Brother, after Gong Ming led a 10,000 army away, there will be quite a few troops to go to Shanggu and the Xianbei coalition forces to fight. You only bring 40,000 troops there, okay?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Don't you worry, Boda, did you tell you the lord a few years ago? There are still 16,000 cows, which is equivalent to a tens of thousands of troops!"

Sima Lang was dizzy when he heard it. What was this? Why did the cows become a large army? Tian Chou smiled and said, "The lord means to imitate the Fire Bull Formation that Tian Shan relied on for fame in Qi during the Warring States Period to counter the cavalry of the Xianbei tribes' joint army."

Guo Jia continued: "I want to forgive those Xianbei Tartars who don't understand the history of our Han ethnic group. We make some improvements based on Tian Dan's Fire Cattle Formation. Although the cattle of the Fire Cattle Formation remains unchanged, we can tie oil-soaked cotton cloth on the ox tail of the Fire Cattle, which will be much stronger than the artemisia grass before. Moreover, we tie armor on these Fire Cattle, tie steel knives on the horns, and tie a small piece of red cloth on the ox head, which is much more perfect than Tian Dan used at the time. When our fire cattle formation hits the enemy cavalry, the enemy formation will definitely be in chaos and will let the enemy cavalry kill themselves. Then, our flying bear army behind the Fire Cavalry can harvest it."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Then prepare immediately according to Fengxiao's method."

Zhang Liao said: "It's the big brother."

Lu Ning said: "Zi Tai, immediately arrange for someone to go to Youzhou to throw out two or three billion old five coins to break up Gongsun Zan's economy. In order to survive, he will have the courage to take the initiative to attack us. As long as he attacks us, Youzhou will be ours. Interior officials must make various preparations for accepting Youzhou."

Tian Chou said: "It's the lord, I will arrange for people to handle it immediately. It will definitely make Gongsun Zan feel angry and send troops as soon as possible."

Zhang He said: "Brother, after destroying the Xianbei Tartar coalition, will they still wipe out their Tartar tribes?"

If we don’t take advantage of the situation to clear the enemy, then we will not become fools. Lu Ning smiled and said, “Of course we need to clear the enemy. We must ride the wind and break the waves of thousands of miles and completely solve the problem of the Xianbei Tartars in one fell swoop. Then we can eat the food again. If we don’t clear the enemy in time, maybe they will escape there and don’t know.”

Zhao Yun said: "Brother, if that is the case, will our army still have the ability to eat Youzhou after the loss?"

Lu Ning said: "With the Fire Bull Formation, our army will not suffer much loss. It is estimated that it is about 20,000 people. Can the 50,000 army still be able to seize Youzhou? It shouldn't be that Gongsun Zan's most powerful only has 5,000 white horses. The other soldiers and horses are garbage soldiers and do not have much combat power. It's just to prevent Liu Bei's three brothers from coming to help Gongsun Zan. You should be careful, but our army has strong bows and crossbows. Can the three brothers resist the killing of our snipers? Remember, as long as you see Liu Bei's three brothers, they will immediately mobilize all snipers and crossbows to kill. It's better to kill them. If they can't kill them, they will scare them all sweat." After that, I laughed.
Chapter completed!
