Xu Rong has not seen any opponents in these years, and he can become the only bull who defeated Sun Jian and Cao Cao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there must be his own reasons. At this time, he was able to directly become Tong Yuanjun's advisor, which just showed his insight into the battle formation and the use of soldiers.

He continued: "I have ordered the first batch of ships assembled in Haoyang to transport the 3rd Brigade to land and assault, to be sure to control Kasakatsu, and to take a defensive position to attract the enemy to attack."

Huang Yu came out and said: "The last general will obey the order!" This army is mainly infantry soldiers, but some of the soldiers are good at crossing mountains and rafts because they have participated in inverted fights before. It's fitting that they take the lead.

"Yang was ordered that the 12th Brigade, as the second strike force, set off at the same time as the 13th Brigade, and the fleet entered the Lianshui at the southern end of Pusakajin and landed on the south side of the Shuishui."

Everyone looked at Xu Rong's finger, and saw that Pubanjin was located a little north of the confluence of the (yellow) river and a river, and the surrounding land was very flat. And this river happens to flow from Hedong County, and Puban County is built on the south bank of the river, presumably this is Shushui.

Xu Rong continued: "According to the confirmation of many soldiers of Captain Yang Feng, this place is within thirty miles east of the south bank of the mouth of the river from the salian water, which is the county seat of Puban."

"The task of taking Pusaka County will be handed over to the 12th Brigade, Captain Yang used to be the top three figure in the Baibo Army, it is best to be able to recruit the defenders and cut off the enemy's retreat from attacking Pusakajin as quickly as possible."

Yang Feng replied excitedly: "The last general will definitely live up to his mission, and he will definitely be able to make more Baibo troops surrender to our army."

Hu Lang'er knew that all the heavy cavalry he commanded was him, and this landing operation was estimated to be postponed. I had a slight regret in my heart, but I was immediately relieved, because I could have a chance to shine later.

Xu Rong continued: "After the two fleets returned from Pubanjin, they respectively took the quartermaster, the third cavalry brigade and the troops directly under the army, and these two units rested immediately after going ashore to prepare for the follow-up big battle."

"The goal of the second phase of our army is to attract the enemy's main forces from Angeup, the core of Pishi County and Hedong County, to the area near Pusaka. Since our army only had more than 3,000 people in the early stage and did not go deep, most of the enemy troops were brave and unscrupulous, and they were likely to be fooled and directly gather the main force to pounce. ”

"Therefore, in the second stage, our army will wait for work, and we must hit the 6,000 elites in one fell swoop, and then recruit the rest of the old and weak and coercive subordinates as much as possible. In this way, in the third step, most of Hedong County can be easily taken. ”

Tong Yuan and the generals all listened carefully to Xu Rong's explanation, in addition to listening to orders, more importantly, learning more strategic and tactical analysis. This also includes Xu Huang, who is less than thirty years old, although he is quite arrogant on weekdays, but he can see at once how powerful Xu Rong is, of course, he studies seriously.

After Xu Rong finished speaking, Tong Yuan added:

"If you have any suggestions, you can also put them forward, and we will prepare as much as we can. Just as Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, 'The husband who does not fight and the temple is counted as the victor, and he has to count as much; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts. I look at it this way, and I can see the victory or defeat. 'I ask you to do everything in your power to speak freely in our meetings, and to be united and resolute in wartime. ”

In the past half a month, in order to avoid the embarrassment of the Cangjie Temple last time, he read some books collected by the Dong family and Xia Yang, although it is still a fantasy to write traditional characters, but it is much better to read.

Seeing that no one spoke, Xu Huang said loudly: "The trouble of Baibo is not just the influence of the Baibo army, but the fact that the Black Mountain and the Xiongnu are all connected and help each other. In the past two years, a small number of Baibo leaders have reached a close alliance with the Southern Xiongnu Yufuluo Department, which occupies large areas of land such as the southern part of Xihe County and the northern part of Hedong County, and our army should take precautions as soon as possible. ”

Tong Yuan motioned to Xu Huang to tell him his suggestions and methods.

Xu Huang said: "My hometown is in Yang County, Hedong County, close to Pingyang, Linfen and Yongan counties. The plains north of these counties gradually disappeared and were replaced by mountains. Because there is a place named Luliang near the stone to the north of this place, and it lives in the middle of this mountain, so the locals call it Luliang Mountain. ”

At present, the southern part of Xihe County and Pingyang County and Puzi County of Hedong County are actually under the hands of the Xiongnu Yufulo. Yu Fuluo is nominally obedient to the Han and Dong families, but if the other party suddenly attacks, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with. ”

"In fact, the strength of the Yufu Luo Department is not very strong, and the more important thing is the old royal court of the Southern Xiongnu. They occupied a large area of land on both sides of the river, that is, the former Qin and Jin dynasties, and the main leaders gathered in Lishicheng, Xihe County. This one is hostile to the Ufrau tribe, and it is necessary to pay attention to their attitude towards us. ”

Only then did everyone react, and most of them did not think of the possibility of a possible conflict with the Xiongnu tribes.

Tong Yuan said: "At present, my idea is to strike at and deter the Yufu Luo Department and prepare for the subsequent surrender. As for the Southern Xiongnu royal court, it is best to carry out trade and agree to jointly attack the Yufu tribe. ”

Geng Qing, the general of the third guard of the Dreadnought Army, said: "Then we also need to send an envoy to the court of the Southern Xiongnu King." Go to comfort him, send some money, and explain that our army fought Baibo because it took advantage of the chaos to occupy the east of the river. And it is hoped that the old royal court will be united and isolated from the Fuluo department. ”

"And as far as I know, this Yu Fuluo is currently fighting with Yu Yu and others of the Black Mountain Army for the Dongjun region with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and the two sides have been fighting for almost a year. At the moment they are at the bottom and they are certainly not our opponents. It's just that they are also nominally allies, is this appropriate? ”

In fact, in history, Li Ru's anti-Yuan Shao encirclement network was quite powerful, in the fourth year of the first peace, that is, a year after Dong Zhuo Chang'an was assassinated, the Xiongnu Yufu Luo, Montenegro and the poisonous coalition army promoted by this strategy even hit Yuan Shao's hinterland.

However, Cao Cao was too rebellious and defeated Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, Xiongnu and other powerhouses with his own strength. Yuan Shao is also worthy of being the most powerful prince in the world, and in turn he broke the Xiongnu Black Mountain Army and drove them back to Bingzhou.

It was only a year after Li Ru's absence that the encirclement was broken.

Back in the Tong Yuan military camp, the deputy general Zhang Lu also said: "There is indeed this problem, if we attack the Baibo army and Yu Fuluo, will it make the 'other friendly forces' uneasy and Yuan Shao will take advantage of it."

Tong Yuan said: "Friends and foes will change, Bai Bojun and Yu Fu Luo are not Yuan Shao's opponents, our army does not take Hedong County, I am afraid that others will take advantage of the situation, once it develops, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhang Lu said: "It seems that our army is going to enter the complex and abnormal Jindi, and it is really not enough to have an army. This time, the envoy who went to Xihe County in the old royal court and left Shicheng needed to be bold and careful, and he could reassure the other party. ”

Tong Yuan asked, "Who is willing to go to Hexi County to leave the stone and take on this great responsibility?"

Geng Qing said: "If you want to go, you will definitely live up to your mission!"

Tong Yuan said: "Very good! Don't get into the tiger's den! ”

"You have a tiger!" Geng Qing replied boldly, the two of them had a gleam in their eyes, and their common experience made them look at each other.

Xu Rong said at this time: "Even so, you still need to be careful of the other party's surprise attack. As I know, the Xiongnu wolf ambition, as long as there is a chance, he will bite in the back, plus the opponent's light cavalry is numerous, and he can kill from Lishi to the important area of Hedong County in less than two days. ”

Tong Yuan asked, "What can you do?"

Xu Rong said: "When dealing with the Hu people, we need to maintain deterrence, so that they feel afraid and dare not attack."

Xu Huang added: "Our army cannot only guard Yangxian, Linfen and other places in the south of Taihang Mountain, but needs to be stationed in the mountains and control key mountain passes and highlands, so that the counties of the plains can develop well."

Tong Yuan and others agreed very much, and then discussed the corresponding arrangements and countermeasures. So he sent an envoy to Anyi, Hedong County, where the Baibo army was located, and Geng Qing made a little preparation, and then took a boat to Lishi, Xihe County, in the north after the army was dispatched.
