"The party is too flamboyant?" Han Cheng asked with a surprised expression, he didn't have much impression of this name in his previous life.

Frustrated said: "This party is too flamboyant, and the ability to lead troops to fight is not good, but in terms of the ability to meet the source of the left and right, I can't catch up with him." ”

Han Chengdao: "I'm not very familiar with this Zhang Yang, I remember that when I led the army to follow my uncle to crusade against Dong Zhuo, I had a few encounters with him, and you can tell me how he is a left and right source." ”

"This Zhang Yang was first a subordinate of He Jin, who started in Shangdang County, Bingzhou, and once quelled the bandit rebellion in Shangdang County. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he led his troops to attack the original Shangdang Taishou at Huguan, but failed to capture Huguan.

As a result, this Zhang Yang led his troops to occupy the counties of Shangdang County, and the number of people in the team grew to several thousand. After participating in the Dong Alliance, he became Yuan Shao's subordinate, and under Yuan Shao's arrangement, he and the Xiongnu army were stationed in Zhangshui with the Yufu Luo Department.

A while ago, I heard that the Xiongnu army wanted to rebel against the Han Dynasty and stand on its own, Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang did not agree, this Zhang Yang was held hostage by the Hun army in the Fuluo department and ran around, Yuan Shao sent the general Lu Yi who had just returned to Shun to pursue, and broke the Yufu army in the south of Yecheng.

Yu Fuluo took Zhang Yang hostage and returned to Liyang to the south, broke through the troops of the Duliao general Geng Zhi, and joined forces with the Black Mountain Army to fight against Cao Cao's army.

At this time, Zhang Yang was able to escape back to Hanoi County, and pulled up another wave of people. The above table curryed favor with Dong Zhuo, borrowed the name of the Eastern Han Dynasty court, and was named Hanoi Taishou and General Jianyi. ”

After listening to this, Han Cheng said: "This Zhang Yang has followed many celebrities." Whoever is beneficial to himself will follow whomever he wants, saying that he is too exalted by Fengyuan left and right, but he is just a villain like a wallgrass.

Unexpectedly, the land of Hanoi, such a good place bordering Shangdang County in the north and Wei County in the east, was actually occupied by him. ”

Seeing Han Cheng say this, he did not immediately retreat, but said to Han Cheng: "Lord, our army now has 28,000 men and horses, relying only on the taxes of Changshan County and Dai County is not enough to feed such a huge army, should we capture other counties in Jizhou?"

The lord has the Jizhou Great Seal in his hand, and it is justified to send troops. ”

Han Cheng suddenly asked this question when he saw frustration, and said, "Chang Shimo is worried, it's not that I don't send troops, but that the time has not come. ”

"The time has not yet come, is it Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao that the lord is referring to?" Frustrated asked thoughtfully.

Han Cheng smiled and said, "Those who know my heart will also have a long history." The main task of the intelligence battalion in September is to find out the news in the northern part of the state, and this matter will be kept secret for now, and when it is October, Changshi will help me. ”

And the state, since Han Cheng got Dai County, he began to think about it.

The generals in the army definitely did not agree to attack the northern part of Bingzhou, for no other reason, the northern part of Bingzhou is vast and sparsely populated, because it is close to ethnic minorities all the year round, and the people are fierce, it is really not the land of Longsheng, but from Han Cheng's point of view, the northern part of Bingzhou must be fought because there is no choice.

...

At the beginning of October, the Fenwu army camped

Han Cheng's main backbone members are divided into two sides. On the left are the five generals headed by Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhang He, Pan Feng, and Zhao Fu. On the right are the five Wenchen led by Han Ye, Fu Zhu, Ju Pei, Geng Wu, and Min Chun.

Han Cheng said: "I got reliable news, Yuan Shao's 30,000 Jizhou troops are stationed at Jieqiao, and the 40,000 Youzhou troops of Gongsun Zan in the north should be fighting, and the remaining military forces in Jizhou are pacifying the Black Mountain Yellow Turban thieves in Jizhou, and there are not too many troops to attack my Changshan County for the time being. ”

Dai County Commander Min Chun, the former county commander of Changshan County, once provided military rations to Han Cheng's army, and was also one of Han Fu's loyal followers, got up and said to Han Cheng: "Zhou Mu, we should take advantage of Yuan Shao's battle with other forces, send troops from Changshan County, and attack Zhao County and Wei County from north to south. Take Yecheng and restore the rule of the governor over Jizhou. ”

Han Cheng was silent and gave Frustration a look. Frustrated, he said, "You want me to be a wicked person again." ”

After Min Chun sat down, he stood up and said:

"I don't think it's wise to attack Jizhou.

From a strategic point of view: we attacked Zhao County and Wei County from north to south, and we won according to the best result; Our territory extends to Changshan County in the north and Yecheng in the south, occupying the entire western part of Jizhou, how can a mere 28,000 soldiers and horses hold the long north-south line of Jizhou?

Even if we hold it, we have the Montenegrin army of Taihang Mountain in the west of our territory, and Yuan Shao's Jizhou army in the east to attack, and we are attacked by the enemy on both sides, how can our troops be?

From the perspective of people's livelihood, the families of Zhao County and Wei County are all close to Yuan Shao and Yuanzhou Mu. We have taken these two counties, we have to resist Yuan Shao's Jizhou army and Taihang Mountain's Black Mountain army outside, and we have to prevent them from making chaos internally, how can we have the energy to do other things, we can only wait for others to encroach on the territory?

Therefore, I think that Jizhou is the land of four wars, and our troops are too small, so we really can't take Jizhou for the time being. ”

Geng Wu is also an old minister of Han Fu, and he has a very strong idea of recovering the lost territory of Jizhou, so he got up and said to Fu Zhu: "Then let me ask Changshi, if we don't take Jizhou, is there anything else to take?" Don't waste the gold and food that Qianzhou Mu has accumulated with great difficulty. ”

Fu Zhu looked light-hearted, and said calmly: "I think we might as well go north, pass through Dai County and then go west into the northern part of Bingzhou.

Take Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Dingxiang County, and Yanmen County as the foundation, train cavalry, and when the time is ripe, go south to occupy the entire Bingzhou, and to the east can lead the army back to Changshan County, and use Changshan County as a springboard to reoccupy Jizhou. ”

After the frustration was finished, everyone looked thoughtful.

Han Cheng said: "What Changshi said is exactly what I mean in my heart. Next, the congregation will listen to the command. ”

And all the people bowed down.

"From today onwards, Huang Zhong has been promoted to Zhonglang General, leading 10,000 soldiers and 1,000 strong bow battalions to garrison Changshan County.

Zhao Fu served as the captain, led 6,000 soldiers and a 1,000 strong bow battalion to garrison Dai County, Geng Wufu Zhi, and Min Chun served as the county commander.

Zhang He, Wei Yan, and Pan Feng were all promoted to lieutenants, and led 4,000 Qinglong battalions, 3,000 strong bow battalions, and 3,000 soldiers to accompany me to the expedition and annex the state.

Chang Shi Fu was responsible for finding out the news and the supply of military rations.

In my absence, matters related to people's livelihood were mainly based on the orders of Changshan County Taishou Hanye; War-related matters were mainly under the orders of General Huang Zhong, and General Huang could dispatch the defenders of Daixian and Changshan County at will. ”

Everyone's faces were happy and worried, and Han Chengdu saw it in his eyes.

In fact, what he did today had been told in advance by Han Cheng more than ten days ago.

At first, he didn't agree with it. After listening to Han Cheng's words, he sent people to Shuofang County and Wuyuan County to investigate, and when he saw the thousands of miles of fertile fields there, he immediately agreed to the plan of going west and merging the state.

And admired Han Cheng a lot: how did Han Cheng know that Shuofang County and Wuyuan County had fertile fields and were suitable for raising an army?
