With their intelligence, they have never considered the population statistics, anyway, the more the better.

Forget it, Xu Tian didn't expect this group of Black Mountain military generals to handle issues related to internal affairs.

"The mountain village was burned down and all the people moved to cities such as Wei County, Zhao State, Changshan State."

Xu Tian cut off the Heishan Army's retreat to prevent the rebellion of the Heishan Army generals from launching a rebellion and whistling in the mountains again.

"Let Xiao He be responsible for resettling these Black Mountain troops."

Xu Tian estimated that the population of the Black Mountain Army was no less than tens of millions.

The Black Mountain Army is not so much a bandit, but an independent kingdom in the Taihang Mountains, with family and people.

Xu You, who followed Xu Tian to attack the Black Mountain Army, was shocked when he saw Xu Tian take over the largest bandit group in Jizhou in one breath, and suggested to Xu Tian: "You can choose the brave and good warriors in the Black Mountain Army, or you can get millions of soldiers."

Although most of the Heishan Army and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army were cannon fodder, there were also a group of elite soldiers who had experienced many battles and became the backbone of the Heishan Army and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

For example, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Divine Iron Guard, Heishan Shield Guard, and the Yellow Turban Warriors of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and the Yellow Turban Warriors.

Some of the Black Mountain soldiers who have experienced many battles have high levels and can be transferred to other troops and inherit some experience.

This is also one of the benefits of surrendering the Black Mountain Army.

Xu Tian approves of Xu You's suggestion, but it's better to say that this is what he thinks.

Cao Cao absorbed the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to strengthen the strength of the Yanzhou Army, while Xu Tian annexed the Heishan Army to strengthen the strength of the Jizhou Army.

The arms race north of the Yellow River and south of the Yellow River has begun.

"We were captured by the Han army, so we had to surrender to the Han army. Please forgive me, brother."

Yu Du and Li Damu came to apologize to Zhang Yan and others.

Zhang Yan sighed: "Since we are unable to compete for the world, being a marquis and generals is already the best destination."

Zhang Yan also accepted his fate. Instead of being frightened every day and worried that Xu Tian would lead his troops to fight, it would be better to surrender.

If you can't beat it, then join.

Xu Tian broke up the Black Mountain Army members to prevent the Black Mountain Army generals from merging together.

In addition to the top group of generals who are Xu Tian’s confidants, the middle and low-level generals of the Jizhou Army are mainly composed of two groups of generals.

The first group were surrendered generals from Yuan Shao's forces, and the representative generals were Jiao Chu, Zhang Nan, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and others.

The second group was the generals of the Black Mountain Army, and the representative generals were Zhang Yan, Yu Du, Li Damu and others.

Most of the surrendered generals of Yuan Shao's forces were disciples of the aristocratic families, while most of the military generals of the Black Mountain Army were grass-roots heroes.

It would probably take a lot of time to get through the two groups of generals.

"According to the report of the spy sent to Youzhou by our guild, Gongsun Zan has already incorporated the cavalry of Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, and is preparing to attack Jizhou in person."

Lin Zhier received a reminder from the guild members and instead reminded Xu Tian.

The White Horse General Gongsun Zan went south in a big way, and Xu Tian was always paying attention to the progress of the Gongsun Army.

The nine counties in Jizhou, Changshan, Zhongshan, Julu, Wei, Zhao, and the five counties and states in the west are Xu Tian's sphere of influence.

The four counties and states in the east, Hejian, Anping, Qinghe and Bohai counties, are in chaos.

These four counties and states include defenders of Yuan Shao’s power, local tyrants, player lords, and soldiers of Gongsun Zan who went south to attack Jizhou.

Xu Tian had already ordered Ju Yi to seize the boundary bridge of Qinghe Kingdom in advance.

Jieqiao is located at the junction of Qinghe Kingdom, Anping Kingdom, Julu County and Wei County, and is a must-fight for military strategists.

When Gongsun Zan marched into Yecheng, unless he sent flying troops to attack the city behind Xu Tian's forces and control the teleportation array, Gongsun Zan's cavalry would definitely come to compete for the border bridge.

In history, the showdown between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan took place at Jieqiao.

Xu Tian drove away Yuan Shao and occupied Hebei. Gongsun Zan, who was originally Yuan Shao's enemy, naturally became Xu Tian's enemy.

"If I remember correctly, Gongsun Xue from Youzhou captured a griffin knight hero in the Western Continent during the war."

In addition to Gongsun Zan, Youzhou also has a player lord Gongsun Xue who makes Xu Tian feel tricky.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, not only were the local princes competing, but also the player lords rose one after another in various prefectures and counties.

The player lord either chooses to become a king, or rely on the local princes, conquers cities and territory, expands rapidly, and waits for the time to be ripe before breaking away from the control of the local princes.

Xu Tian chose to work alone, and Gongsun Xue obviously chose the second route, relying on Gongsun Zan, and the expansion speed was amazing.
