"Excluding Shi Lu's 150,000, Li Xin and Wei Ran each spent 800,000, while Sima Cuo spent 125 points of luck... Spending money like water!"

However, these people's attributes are indeed much stronger than I imagined, and they'll definitely come in handy!

Needless to say, Shi Lu was used to manage the waterways throughout Bingzhou. With smooth and stable waterways, agriculture could develop better, thereby improving the efficiency of commerce and grain transportation.

Although Wei Ran has a bad reputation, Zhao Hao needs someone like him to take control of Shangdang.

As for Sima Cuo and Li Xin, Zhao Hao planned to divide Bingzhou into two major military regions, north and south.

The northern line consists of five prefectures: Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Yanmen.

Of course, Zhao Hao had long planned to have the Meng family generals guard the northern defense line, and Li Xin was just the right person to fill the gap left by Meng Yi and Meng Yan, thus strengthening the northern defense line.

Naturally, the four commanderies of Shangjun, Xihejun, Taiyuanjun, and Shangdangjun formed the southern military region's defense line, with Sima Cuo as the commander-in-chief, to prevent the remnants of the Xiongnu from invading.

With these people, plus the few others recruited by the tavern earlier, Zhao Hao himself will be able to live a peaceful life in Jinyang for a while.

Zhao Hao immediately led the group out of the space, explained the current situation, and expressed his expectations for them.

They were all loyal to the Qin Dynasty, and naturally they were even more curious about the world four hundred years later. Like the Meng family generals, they longed to establish their own merits in this world and restore the glory that belonged to the Qin Dynasty!

"Alright, so let's..."

"General, something terrible has happened!"

Just as Zhao Hao was about to assign them tasks, Li Xiuning's melodious yet nervous voice came from outside the door.

"Xiuning, what's wrong?"

"General, who are these gentlemen...?"

“They are all talented people from my old Qin region, so just say what you want to say.”

"Yes, General! According to the scouts sent by Li Tingzhi, the garrison commander at the border, the Xianbei are coming!"

Zhao Hao raised an eyebrow. So they really came.

That makes sense. The Xianbei weren't stupid; how could they not understand the idea of ​​reaping the benefits without lifting a finger?

Is Yanmen Pass under attack?

Li Xiuning took a deep breath and shook her head.

"No, according to the scouts, the Xianbei people have mobilized about 70,000 troops. Although they passed through the northern part of Yanmen, they did not linger there. They should have already left Dingxiang County and entered Yunzhong County by now!"

"What?"

Instead of attacking Yanmen Pass, they headed towards the Hetao Basin.

These guys are up to no good!

Sima Cuo was the first to react and bowed, offering his advice.

"My lord, please forgive my rudeness. The Xianbei's actions may be an attempt to take advantage of our misfortune. However, our army has acted swiftly, and they have no idea that we have already firmly grasped the territory of the Southern Xiongnu royal court and still possess considerable strength."

"I wonder if you intend to force this thief to leave, or..."

"Of course, we must fight them!"

Zhao Hao smiled slightly. He had a lot to do next and no time to deal with these Xianbei people.

If we can inflict a painful blow on them, so that they never dare to enter the pass again, then the troubled border will finally be at peace!

"The Xianbei people are as fierce as tigers and wolves. When Tan Shihuai was in power, they had already repeatedly invaded the border counties of You, Bing, and Liang prefectures. If we want to maintain control of Bingzhou, we must knock out this tiger's teeth and make it hurt!"

Only then did they realize our power. Although it may sow hatred, everything in this world is proven with fists. Only when our fists are big enough will they fear us, dread us, and dare not attack!

"Young master is wise!"

"Hmm... Currently, only Meng Tian's 10,000 troops are stationed in Yunzhong, while the other tribes are all near our territory. Therefore... we need them to hold back the main force of the Xianbei while luring the enemy deeper into our territory!"

Zhao Hao took out an ancient parchment map. The parchment depicted the terrain of Bingzhou in great detail, including mountains, forests, rivers, and lakes.

This was not a product of the system, but rather a blueprint that Zhao Hao obtained from the treasure vault of the Southern Xiongnu royal court after they were wiped out.

"Someone come here!"

"exist!"

"Send a swift message to Meng Tian's troops: the Xianbei have invaded our territory with overwhelming force, numbering over 70,000. Order Meng Tian to set up a feint around Yunzhong, while simultaneously establishing a camp with his back to Shaling Lake, preparing for a desperate battle to meet the Xianbei while awaiting reinforcements!"

"Gentlemen, take my order and mobilize the troops near Xihe to prepare for an expedition north to defeat the Xianbei!"
