On the other side, the troops of Liu's army led by Huang Zhong had already arrived in Yanzhou. Ma Chao and Sima Yi led the Wenchen generals of Yanzhou to come out to greet them.

Huang Zhong's official position is already the pinnacle of military generals, and the real one person is above 10,000 people, and when he arrived in Yanzhou, that official dared to be presumptuous, and he didn't see the usually unruly Ma Chao and the arrogant Sima Yi all waiting for Huang Zhong's arrival under the sun with a respectful face.

Huang Zhong was originally born in the army, and after being in a high position, he did not forget his duty, and he was very considerate to the officials below. After arriving in Yanzhou, Huang Zhong did not embarrass Yanzhou officials.

Liu Yu's holy decree has spread to the whole world, and now the soldiers and civilians of Yanzhou know that Huang Zhong is here to fight Cao Cao this time. Ma Chao and Sima Yi arranged the best room and the best wine and food for Huang Zhong, and in addition to the treatment of the emperor, Sima Yi and Ma Chao prepared for Huang Zhong.

As soon as Huang Zhong walked into the place arranged by Ma Chao and Sima Yi, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Sima Yi and Ma Chao thought that Huang Zhong must be very satisfied, after all, this is their filial piety.

On the contrary, Huang Zhong was very dissatisfied, and directly scolded: "Should you be the kind of person who is greedy for enjoyment?" How much money does it cost! All of them were withdrawn by the general. ”

Sima Yi and Ma Chao were immediately at a loss.

Huang Zhong also understood that this was Sima Yi and Ma Chao's intentions, but in the Shenwu Imperial Court, today's sons are all thrifty, and Huang Zhong, who was from an ordinary background, lives a simple life, and there are many places where money and food are used at present, Huang Zhong doesn't want to waste money and food on him personally.

Ma Chao, Sima Yi and Lu Bu had a good relationship, but Lu Bu didn't want the two of them to be set off by Huang Zhong, so he whispered in the ears of the two of them: "You are really. Don't you know if my father-in-law doesn't like luxury? Hurry up and withdraw, lest your father-in-law be displeased. Wasting so much money and food, you are looking for a fight. ”

Ma Chao and Sima Yi immediately understood what they had done wrong. Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. Ma Chao and Sima Yi immediately took remedial measures and removed all the things that should not be used.

Huang Zhong was a little satisfied.

Huang Zhong sat on the main seat, and the others sat on either side.

"Meng Qi, Zhong Da, when will the other two masters arrive here?" Huang Zhong asked at Sima Yi and Ma Chao.

"General Hui, Your Majesty's holy decree has already been issued. We all know that the general is coming to Yanzhou. Jia Wenhe is already on his way, and it is estimated that he will be here soon. But Zhuge Kongming's side didn't know when it would arrive. He thought that Zhuge Kongming was going to come over, and he would waste a lot of time. Sima Yi immediately replied.

Huang Zhong still feels that this time is a bit tight, Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang have not yet arrived, which means that Mr. Huang will have to wait for a while.

"The military situation is urgent, and there is no time to waste at all, so I ordered them not to come over, just wait for the order of the general." Mr. Huang decisively issued the news.

As soon as the words fell, a pro-soldier came to report that Zhuge Liang and Jia Wenhe had already arrived here.

Huang Zhong was overjoyed, he didn't expect these two people to arrive in such a timely manner. In this way, Huang Zhong's next arrangement will be easy to handle.

Jia Xu is an old fox, he knows that only the general Huang Zhong can suppress them, and Jia Xu, who is famous for self-preservation, will certainly not create an impression that Huang Zhong does not listen to the dispatch, and Huang Zhong got along with Jia Xu well before, of course Jia Xu is quick to whip over.

The most classic is Zhuge Liang. When this guy took the strategy of crossing the river with an iron cable in Jiangdong, he concluded that the imperial court would use troops against Yuzhou, where Cao Cao was located. Therefore, he had already arranged the deployment of troops in the south of Yuzhou. At the same time, after Zhuge Liang arranged the troops, he made relevant arrangements for Ma Liang and them, and he quickly marched towards Yanzhou. The distance between the Lujiang River and Yanzhou is very long, and it is necessary to prevent a possible attack by Cao's army, and if Zhuge Liang does not set off in advance, he will not be able to come to Yanzhou in time when Huang Zhong arrives.

Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu arrived in Yanzhou at the same time, and the two traveled together.

Jia Xu was surprised by Zhuge Liang's speed, he was relatively close to Yanzhou, and it was normal for him to arrive in time. But Zhuge Liang has such a speed, that is another matter. However, Jia Xu would not ask Zhuge Liang too much. As an elder, Jia Xu disdained to ask Zhuge Liang why he arrived so timely. The reason for this, Jia Xu also understands, it is nothing more than a pre-estimate. This ability, in Jia Xu's opinion, is not a big deal.

As soon as Sima Yi heard that Zhuge Liang had arrived in such a timely manner, he already understood that Zhuge Liang had set off ahead of schedule.

"Kong Ming, it seems that you kid is really good, you actually thought of this in advance. Looks like a match for me. Sima Yi kept saying in his heart.

Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang have been called the best in the Shenwu court by Liu Yu many times in public, and the bigwigs of the Military Aircraft Department have listed Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang as the heirs of the future Minister of Military Aircraft. The two are in a relationship of mutual appreciation and competition with each other. Zhuge Liang has the ability to predict in advance, and Sima Yi is not bad.

Although it seems that Zhuge Liang is more appreciated and trusted by Liu Yu, Sima Yi thinks that he is no worse than Zhuge Liang.

"Let them come in quickly!" Huang Zhong is very direct.

"The lowly Zhuge Kongming (Jia Wenhe) see the generals, my lords." Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu walked in hand in hand.

"Get up, take your seats!" Huang Zhong didn't say any nonsense, and asked the two of them to sit down.

Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang sat together, and more coincidentally, Zhuge Liang happened to sit opposite Sima Yi. Sima Yi looked at Zhuge Liang directly, he and Zhuge Liang hadn't seen each other for many years, and Zhuge Liang's temperament had become more elegant. Of course, Zhuge Liang discovered Sima Yi's eyes and gave Sima Yi a very charming smile in return.

The two conveyed the message with their eyes very tacitly, and they were not outsiders.

The eyebrow flirtation between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi made one person angry. That's Pang Tong.

Pang Tong came out with Huang Zhong this time, but Sima Yi didn't notice him from the beginning. That's it, after all, Sima Yi's attention was on Huang Zhong, and it was normal not to find him. But as soon as Zhuge Liang came in, his attention was on Sima Yi, and the two of them looked at each other directly, not realizing his existence at all. How upset it is for you to let Pang Tong, who usually likes to show his existence the most. This kind of unhappiness seems to be the sour feeling of being ignored by one's lover and others hooking up.

Well, although this description is a bit ambiguous, it is very suitable to describe Pang Tong's mood now.

Who told Pang Tong to sit in a more remote position. It's normal for others not to pay attention to him.

Huang Zhong saw that all the people in charge were present, and immediately said: "Everyone, this time we are gathered together, and the big guys should know something." Now down to business, please decree! ”

Lu Bu respectfully brought the holy decree to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong read all of Liu Yu's holy decrees. The reason for doing this is actually to clarify Huang Zhong's leading position in the name of Huang Zhong.

It's just very necessary, the civil and military generals who crusaded against Cao Cao this time are all generals and talents in the Shenwu court, some have strange tempers, some are arrogant and look down on people, and there are a lot of irritable and irritable ones. Only by reaffirming Huang Zhong's dominance can these people be obedient.

"Obey the holy decree!" All the civil and military forces were not half unconvinced, and they bowed their heads and accepted Liu Yu's holy decree one by one.

After Huang Zhong finished reciting the holy decree, he remembered Liu Yu's previous instructions, so he added a few words: "Also, Your Majesty strictly ordered us to protect the one in the Shouchun Palace." There must not be any mistakes, this general and several other adults are guaranteed by the Nine Clans. Remember! ”

As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi's profundity was gone, Zhuge Liang's demeanor was gone, Ma Chao was dumbfounded, and Jia Xu squinted his eyes and kept thinking about gains and losses.

"Don't think of anything crooked. His Majesty has asked Master Li to go and protect him. I'll just do my own thing. But! Never do anything that is unfavorable to that person. Otherwise, the nine clans of this great general are a little missing, you first give this great general a back! Huang Zhong said cruel words.

"I'll find out." Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang and others immediately responded.

Everything that should be said has been said, and Huang Zhong can no longer embarrass these subordinates.

"Zhongda, Wenhe, Kong Ming, tell me about the situation of the soldiers and horses." Huang Zhong began to get down to business.

Sima Yi stood up and arched his hand and said: "If you return to the general, our army has a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses, with Runan as the logistics base, and confronts Cao's army in the southwest of Yuzhou. Cao Jun took advantage of the terrain and arranged layers of checkpoints, and our department was unable to break through for the time being. ”

After Jia Xu thought for a while, he said leisurely: "General, there are more than 50,000 elite soldiers and horses in our army, occupying Hongxian County to confront Cao's army. In order to resist our troops and horses, Cao Cao arranged a strong defense line from Song County to Hong County. Our troops launched several attacks on Cao Cao, but Cao Cao just closed the door and remained unmoved. ”

Huang Zhong's face couldn't help but become depressed, it seemed that Cao Cao was determined to defend it.

It was Zhuge Liang's turn to speak, and I saw him holding the iconic feather fan and said slowly: "General Hui, the total number of soldiers and horses in our department is 150,000 soldiers and horses, Chen Bing is in Lujiang, and he can lead the army north to Yuzhou at any time. Before coming to Yanzhou, Cao Cao Xing's troops arranged a defensive line in Anfeng, Huoqiu, Shouxian and other places to try to resist our troops. ”

Among the three, only Zhuge Liang has the most soldiers and horses, and the situation is the most optimistic. Huang Zhong saw at a glance that the key point was in Zhuge Liang's army.

Sima Yi was a little envious of Zhuge Liang, he had 150,000 soldiers and horses on hand, but he and Jia Xu together were not as many as Zhuge Liang alone. Who calls people's lives good, good luck, to be able to get Liu Yu's absolute trust.

Sima Yi was envious, but he was in command of a group of soldiers and horses, and his words carried weight. Pang Tong, who was in the corner, almost bit his clothes.

"Why? Each of them can command so many soldiers and horses, and they are majestic. I'm not bad at Pang Shiyuan. So far, there is still no military power at all. Is it wrong to be ugly? No, Your Majesty has never chosen it by appearance. Pang Tong's heart suddenly appeared countless whys.

"How are the soldiers and horses in Yanzhou?" Huang Zhong looked at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun is the pastor of Yanzhou, although he returned to Luoyang during this time, the situation in Yanzhou was reported to him. But the specific situation is still familiar to Sima Yi. Zhao Yun looked at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi replied honestly: "If you go back to the general, Yanzhou can mobilize less than 30,000 troops except for the garrison soldiers and horses. ”

70,000, 80,000, 30,000, 150,000, Huang Zhong calculated, adding up to 300,000 soldiers and horses can be used.

"General, although our army has more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Cao is desperate, and the available troops in Yuzhou should be 100,000, and our army should not be taken lightly." Zhao Yun's personality is more cautious, and his tone is very worried.

Huang Zhong also understands that even if there are more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, he still needs to be cautious when dealing with a ruthless person like Cao Cao.

"What Zilong said is very true. Cao Cao already had a stubborn heart. But friend and foe are different. Our army has the upper hand. It is impossible for Cao Cao to prevent them all. The Great General Ben decided. Simultaneously launched an attack on Yuzhou against all kinds of soldiers and horses. If you have any objections, it doesn't hurt to say so. "Huang Zhong adopted a strategy of all-out offensive and was also able to listen to the opinions of others.

Judging from the current situation, Huang Zhong's choice is inevitable, when the army has an absolute advantage, only by crushing the past, Cao Cao will not be able to resist no matter how much ability he has.

Regarding Huang Zhongda's strategy, everyone present had no objection.

Huang Zhong began to arrange the tasks of the troops and horses.

First of all, let Lu Bu go to help Jia Xu and make every effort to break through the defense line in the north of Yuzhou. Huang Zhong let them decide their own tactics, and he only wanted the result. Lu Bu obeyed Jia Xu's arrangement and must not be disobeyed.

Jia Xu and Lu Bu received the order.

Sima Yi immediately returned to Runan's troops and horses, and he had to change the situation of confrontation with Cao's army in the southwest of Yuzhou. Sima Yi agreed without hesitation.

For Zhuge Liang in Lujiang, Huang Zhong is the most assured, with the most troops and the most generals, which has a huge role.

"Kong Ming, you have the most soldiers and horses, in addition to breaking through to the north, you can divide one army to assist Zhongda, and then your two troops and horses will merge into one place and go straight to Shouchun. If there is any change, you can make your own decisions, and you don't have to wait for the arrangement of the general. Huang Zhong gave advice to Zhuge Liang.

In fact, Zhuge Liang was very clear about the battle situation, and he had already known Huang Zhong's arrangements in his heart, which did not exceed his expectations.

And Huang Zhong himself took the last Chinese army and Yanzhou's soldiers and horses to directly attack Yuzhou.

The four troops echoed each other from afar and attacked Yuzhou in an all-round way.

Everyone thinks that no matter how powerful Cao Cao is, what chance can he have in the face of the fierce Liu Jun soldiers?
