At the end of the year, taking advantage of the winter, Liu Tao invited the generals of Si'an and the two towns to report their duties.

"Yide, in the next five years, you will be in charge of the north, and all the defense issues will be left to you." Seeing that everyone was here, I first asked Zhang Fei, "Do you think it's OK? Do you have the confidence to defend the northern border for me?"

"Brother, I want to go to the front line..." Zhang Fei said with a little twisted look.

"You have many opponents, including Wuhuan, Xianbei, and even Goguryeo." Liu Tao replied.

"They dare not call him, and they may not be able to find him after he hit him. Even if he can find him..." Zhang Fei complained.

"Brother, I'll take over him!" Guan Yu came forward and took over the matter.

"There will be a major battle in the Central Plains in the future..." Liu Tao sighed, "Nanyang County, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Jiujiang County and Lujiang County are all within the attack range."

"It's okay, there's still a fight in the future!" Guan Yu replied, very calm and without any reluctance.

"Brother...why should I do it?" Zhang Fei gritted his teeth, always feeling sorry for his third brother if he was so quarreling.

"For my brother, I have been going from guarding Luoyang to guarding Chen State. It's almost three or four years. It's pretty good to change the place." Guan Yu smiled and patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and said, "Besides, whether it's Yuan Shu, Zhang Chao, or Liu Biao, they are all natives, and they have no meaning at all when they fight."

"Then it's all!" Liu Tao felt that it was true. It would be a little more pleasing to Zhang Fei on the front line. The Central Plains is mainly flat, which is very suitable for cavalry attacks. It is also the last battle that Zhang Fei had the opportunity to fight.

When you really go to Jiangnan, it is basically the main body of infantry, and it is difficult for cavalry to perform their effects. After all, there is not so much space to detour. At the same time, the northern cavalry will easily be unacceptable to the local environment.

To this end, some cavalry and northern infantry need to be arranged to train in the Lujiang area for a period of time before they can go south.

At the same time, the navy also needs to be formed, but there are no talents under his command in this regard. I just don’t know if I can recruit Liu Biao, so that at least I can recruit the Jingzhou navy.

Before this, we took a two-pronged approach to set up harbors in Youzhou, Jizhou and Qingzhou, and it was also good to try to make large sea boats.

After a pause, he officially issued an appointment: "Appoint Guan Yu as General Pingbei, stationed in Yanmen County, and takes charge of the northern borders of the two prefectures. Having said that, under normal circumstances, General Anbei is responsible for the defense of Youzhou, and Chief Yun is mainly responsible for the defense of Bingzhou, and at the same time, he must also take into account the defense issues in Youzhou."

"The last general follows the order!" Guan Yu immediately received the order, just curious about who the new General Anbei was.

Another problem he found was that according to the rank of General Siying, Siping and Si'an, Liu Tao planned by General Lu Bu, the North of Zhen, should be above him, but according to the current appointment, it seems that Lu Bu has other transfers.

Lu Bu also heard it and was a little impatient. The north really didn't want to continue guarding, which was a waste of time.

After arranging Guan Yu, Liu Tao looked at Huang Zhong: "Hansheng, you will be the General of Anbei and guard Youzhou."

"I will obey the order!" Huang Zhong seemed to have expected it, and did not complain, so he obediently accepted the order.

"Ma Teng's position remains unchanged. He continues to serve as General Anxi. After he has made contributions to the Western Regions, he will naturally continue to be promoted." Liu Tao looked at Ma Teng, "In the next few years, the court will gradually supply you with supplies and troops."

"I obey the order!" Ma Teng was not surprised. At least for now, there was nothing more suitable for him to guard Xiliang. Moreover, since last year, he has started to make a lot of preparations for the expedition to the Western Regions, and he cannot change his generals temporarily.

"Duke Zhao, you will be the general of Zhenxi, and will be in Liangzhou and Yongzhou, can you?" Liu Tao looked at Liu Chong. This was the first time Liu Chong came to Jinyang.

Before again, he had been entertained for three days and had seen many novel things, Liu Chong almost didn't want to go back.

"Is there no official who fights on the front line?" Liu Chong was a little depressed when he heard this, and he thought that he could participate in the battle in the Central Plains.

"You have already been crowned as kings, so what are you planning to fight?" Liu Tao smiled, "Besides, you will become neighbors with Liu Yan at that time. If you have time, write a letter to him, telling him to surrender early and not come out of the city of Bashu. If you don't think you can learn from Emperor Gaozu..."

"If your Majesty doesn't say it, I really didn't expect that Liu Yan might have planned this way!" Liu Chong was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized that Emperor Gaozu closed the door and developed in Bashu, and then suddenly came out and seized the world.

He paused, patted his chest and said, "Okay, Chen Ruo guarded the other side, so he often sent people to contact him and strive to make him surrender obediently!"

"Well, you are in charge of Yongzhou, and at the same time, the defense of Liangzhou must also be watched." Liu Tao reminded. Ma Teng's power became larger and larger as he expeditioned to the Western Regions, and it would be impossible to watch without anyone helping him.

It’s not that Liu Tao doesn’t believe in Ma Teng, but that after power loses supervision, it is likely to lose control. Even if Ma Teng is a saint, his descendants and his subordinates may not be saints.

"Abide by the order!" Liu Chong could also hear what Liu Tao meant.

Of course, Ma Teng could also hear it, but he knew better that this was just Liu Tao's method of defensive action, not targeting him. After all, he has been in Liangzhou for more than five years, and his influence there is indeed a bit too high.

Before, Lu Yan did a lot of practical things to make the local officials and the people's hearts approach the Han. However, places like Liangzhou are the most respected by the strong. Whoever has soldiers and can fight well is called a strong man.

If Ma Teng continues like this, he also knows that if he doesn't transfer, it may arouse Liu Tao's suspicion.

"Yide, since you want to change the place, then how about appointing you as General Pingdong, taking charge of Taishan County, and managing the defense of Yanzhou and Qingzhou?" Liu Tao looked at Zhang Fei.

"Abide by the order!" Zhang Fei had no objection. According to this arrangement, in the Central Plains War, he mainly faced Xuzhou. In addition to the Taishan Mountains, Xuzhou has many plains, which are very suitable for cavalry attacks, and it is indeed suitable for him to perform.

"Fengxian, I know you have been waiting for a long time." Liu Tao looked at Lu Bu, "Appoint you as General Zhennan and stationed on the side of Chen State."

"Abide by the order!" Lu Bu nodded. He had not made any contributions before, so it was understandable that he would not be promoted, and Ma Teng was not promoted either. However, in the Central Plains War, Nanyang, Runan, Jiujiang and Lujiang, he was responsible for the war, and he could continue to accumulate merit.

"The generals under your command will also be mobilized in the beginning of next spring. After that, you will have half a year to adapt to your new subordinates." Liu Tao reminded.

"Abide by the order!" the generals replied one after another, which was expected.

Afterwards, Liu Tao had to hold a banquet to entertain everyone, and everyone had a good drink. By the way, Lu Yan also called over. The four brothers hadn't been together for a long time. At the banquet, Liu Tao rarely had no airs and played with everyone.
