Because more than 10,000 soldiers of the New Army of Crouching Tiger are still undergoing training in Shangdang, there are no garrisons in Lishi City, where the military headquarters is located. Therefore, Zhang Liao only rested in Lishi for one day, and then continued to walk south with his men.

After seven or eight days of trekking through mountains and rivers, Zhang Liao finally returned to Wohu City with more than 5,000 troops.

Outside Desheng Gate, Hu Chuquan and Ulan unexpectedly discovered their tribe members, the 4,000 Hun cavalry who were taken away by Zhao Yun, were stationed at an inn twenty miles away from Wohu City, and they lived a very comfortable life with wine and meat. The two asked Zhang Liao why, and Zhang Liao told them that this was the rule of Wohu City - all foreign troops must be stationed outside Wohu City for a period of time, and after Wohu’s safety review one by one, they issued customs documents before they could enter the city.

At the Desheng School, Zhao Xing, who received the news, had already taken Jia Xu, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Chen Gong and others out of the city to welcome Zhang Liao.

"Fifth brother, I just thought you would have brought some personal soldiers when you came back, but I didn't expect that the formation was bigger than that of the fourth brother!" Zhao Xing greeted Zhang Liao and said with a smile.

"Third brother, I'm talking about it this time. You don't have any idea about these 5,000 troops from the land I brought back! You have to match me with the food, grass, weapons, armor and horses of the new army. You can't just squeeze my old Zhang just because the new army in the end!" Zhang Liao grabbed Zhao Xing's arm and twisted it hard.

"Don't worry, fifth brother, Mr. Wenhe has been prepared. As long as you have the ability, it will not be a problem to bring back another 5,000 troops. How can Wohu City still lose your slap?" Zhao Xing knew that Zhang Liao was angry and did not care about these matters. Anyway, no matter how well equipped the troops were, they had to obey his command.

"This is Huchuquan, the younger brother of the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu, this is Ulan..." Zhang Liao introduced the brother and sister behind Zhao Xing, and while saying that, he pulled Zhao Xing closer and muttered a few words. After hearing this, Zhao Xing looked surprised and glanced at Wulan carefully with his eyes, and turned around and looked at Zhao Yun, who was expressionless in the greeting team.

When Zhao Xing stared at him like this, Ulan was unhappy and kept muttering: "This thief is General Zhenbei? Why didn't I think he is better than Zhao Yun?" Ulan, who was whispering in his heart, suddenly heard Zhao Xing say hello to him: "Welcome Mingzhu of the Southern Xiongnu tribe to Wohu City, and hope Miss Ulan stays here for more time!"

Ulan quickly squeezed out a smile and glanced at Zhao Yun not far away a little embarrassedly.

"Fourth brother, old friends are visiting, hurry up and say hello!" Zhao Xing said to Zhao Yun, who was depressed.

"I have met Miss Ulan! I have met Brother Hu Chuquan!" Zhao Yun came forward and said politely, then pulled Zhang Liao and frowned and walked into the city gate.

Xu Huang, who was beside him, quickly shouted loudly: "Fourth brother, fifth brother, please go slowly, brother, I have something to say to you!"

In this way, everyone laughed and laughed and entered the Crouching Tiger City together.

In the city lord's mansion, except Guan Yu and Guo Jia were not among them, the civil officials and military generals of the core level of Shangdang sat together, and the brothers stopped laughing and quarreling, and were listening to Zhang Liao's narration of the situation in the north with a serious look on his face.

"At present, the Xianbei people in Wuyuan have been cleared, but due to the lack of garrison, the Flying Tiger Army has limited troops and is difficult to march westward. The Xianbei people in the north are afraid of us, but they have also begun to wake up. There is a trend of accelerated integration now, and it is likely that they will struggle to go south to Wuyuan in the future..." Zhang Liao stated the situation around Wuyuan in an orderly manner.

"Although Bingzhou is now in our hands, the aftermath of the Yellow Turban has not yet subsided, people are unstable, refugees are scattered, and they cannot withstand large-scale fierce battles!" Xu Huang said in a deep voice.

"The most urgent task is to completely subdue more than 100,000 Yellow Turban refugees scattered in the north of Bingzhou, or be incorporated into the army or placed on the spot, and should not be left alone!" Tian Feng said.

"Mr. Yuan Hao's words are reasonable. The early strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolves has achieved practical results. Now it is time to incorporate more than 100,000 Yellow Turban lands from Jizhou to Bingzhou. The steps are set after the elder brother returns. We brothers and others act separately, and the difference can be seen in ten months," said Zhao Xing.

"When will Commander Guan return to Shangdang?" Chen Gong asked.

"It should be within these two days," Li Jinsi replied.

"Although Shangdang is rich, he wants to feed the people of a state with a county, but he is afraid that he will not be able to meet his strength. The food problem is broken..." Jia Xu said, who rarely spoke.

"I want to move 50,000 refugees to Wuyuan to guard the border and store grain; move 30,000 refugees to the rented land assigned by the Qiang and Hu tribes in Hexi to cultivate grain; move 50,000 refugees to Yanmen County to guard the border and cultivate wasteland; move 30,000 refugees to Dingxiang to guard the border and cultivate wasteland." Zhao Xing proposed his own refugee resettlement plan.

"In this way, Xihe and Taiyuan counties still lack at least 200,000 people to farm," Jia Xu said with a frown.

"People are not a problem. As long as Bingzhou is stable, we might as well leave the customs and go to Jizhou to bring some back." Zhao Yun said, "The key is to seize the opportunity and don't miss the autumn grain cultivation season!"

Everyone was carefully analyzing the military and political plans of Bingzhou in the conference hall. While they were concentrating on it, they suddenly heard a report from Zhao Gang outside the door: "Report to the lord, Jun Guan has returned to the city!"

"Today I will talk about this first. It is rare that the five brothers and I will meet again. Tonight I will treat you to you at Zuixian Tower, so I must have a drink!" Zhao Xing stood up and said.

On that night, on the seventh floor of Zuixian Tower, the "Five Tigers of Shangdang" gathered together. Since Zhao Xing went to Julu, the brothers have one in the east and one in the west, and they have not had the chance to meet. Today is a rare reunion, so everyone relaxed and drank happily.

"Brother, come on, I'll give you a cup, praise you and split Lu Bu's Fangtian Painted Ridge with one knife!" Zhang Liao said with his tongue wide.

When Guan Yu heard this, he laughed a few times, picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine in the bowl in one breath.

"Second brother, when will you get married to Sister Hu? I'm in a hurry!" Zhao Xing said to Xu Huang with a wine bowl.

Xu Huang said in a rare way: "Brother, if I want to get married, it's not just a single word, it will be done anytime!"

"Okay, then let's get together with me. I will marry Grand Secretary Zhang's daughter to the family in a few days. You can marry Sister Hu! Come on, we've done this bowl!" Zhao Xing said shakingly.

"Fourth brother, I'm watching the Xiongnu girl who chased Shangdang is more beautiful than your sister-in-law Hu. Don't hold it in anymore. Just get married with your brothers!" Xu Huang joked with Zhao Yun.

"Brother, I'll wear an arrow rain for you, so I can protect my third brother's ancestors and have a drink of peace. I respect you!" Zhao Yun pretended not to hear Xu Huang's nagging, and quickly got up to worship Guan Yu.

"Mr. Wenhe, Mr. Yuanhao, come on, just for Jia Mu, Tian Yue and Guan Ping, you are getting more and more promising. Let's have a bowl together!" Guan Yu stood up and greeted Jia Xu and Tian Feng.
