At noon, the sun was shining.

In the city of Ruyang.

The army of the Jingping camp came from a long journey, and the soldiers were tired, and immediately after entering the city, they had already begun to settle down, and Makiyama set up a school field in the north and south of the city, facing the two city gates, and the five tribes took turns to guard the city walls and patrol the city.

The county seat is located in the center of the central axis of the city, a mansion with seven entrances and seven exits.

Above the lobby of the mansion, Mu Jing took off his battle armor, wore a robe, tied his hair with strips of cloth, sat cross-legged on his knees, looked at the eyes in front of him with a touch of depth, and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Chen Dao, you tell me about the situation!" ”

"Yes!"

Chen Zhi walked out of the battle armor position, then walked to the center, knelt down, bowed his hand, and then gave his name: "Report to Shaoqu Shuai, my pioneer battalion is traveling lightly, day and night, and has rushed to Ruyang City as early as noon yesterday!"

I waited for the city of Ruyang to set up camp, rest for three hours, in the evening, began to beat drums to attack the city, ready to explore the strength of the city, but did not expect the siege of the city to be smooth, in this city there are less than 500 guards, my army has just begun to attack the city, after two rounds of arrows, before the main attack began, the city guards abandoned the city and fled, we naturally successfully captured the city! ”

"Abandon the city and flee?"

"There are such cowards!"

"Huang Shaoqu's generals are really embarrassing!"

All the generals here are from the Yellow Turban Army, although they are the Yellow Turbans under Gong Du, but Gong Du Liu Pi and Huang Shao He Man Alliance, the subordinate generals are naturally quite connected, so they are also familiar with Huang Shao's subordinate generals.

Luo Ying opened his mouth and said: "Although Huang Shaoqu Shuai is the Yingchuan Yellow Turban, the Yingchuan Yellow Turban was defeated in the past, and he escaped only because of him, after entering Runan, he quickly pulled up the soldiers and horses, the strength cannot be underestimated, and there are several fierce generals under his command, but the Yellow Turban soldiers, the good and the bad, some cowards, it is also a matter of course!" ”

"But such a cowardly general, it is not normal to be put here in Ruyang City to guard!"

Mu Jing spoke: "Although Ruyang City is not an indestructible city, it can be regarded as a city with thick walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the most important thing is that the geographical location here is relatively special, and defending this place is equivalent to opening up the passage between the north and south of Runan County, and can connect the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses together. ”

As soon as he said this, the generals felt that something was wrong.

"That's right!"

Du Feng said: "Several Qu Shuai are all understanding people, they know that only by giving each other can they win this battle, in the past, Gong Du Qu Shuai also ordered to keep the north unobstructed, so we also divided our troops to the north to garrison to ensure that the road is smooth!" ”

"If it's not that Huang Shao's acquaintance is unknown, it means that he has given up on Ruyang!"

Mu Jing raised his head, looked at Chen Dao, and asked, "Chen Dao, is there any grain in the city now?" ”

"Nope!"

Chen Zhi shook his head and replied: "Shaoqu Shuai, after I entered the city, I have searched the whole city, and there are a few granaries in the city, but they are all empty, and we can't find more food here, unless we forcibly levy the rations of the people!" ”

"A certain family is not short of food and grass now, and there is no need to be this wicked person!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "I'm just thinking, there was news before, there was news here that there used to be more than 100,000 soldiers' grain and grass, where have they gone now!" ”

"It should be transported to the north!"

The silent Taiping Saintess Zhang Ning replied: "Their army is going north to fight, transporting grain to the north, and it is not an exaggeration to follow the army, although this will make the march a little slower, but it can ensure that the combat time is not held back by the grain road, and there is nothing that cannot be done!" ”

"Then why give up such a good place to store grain in Ruyang?"

Mu Jing spread out a marching map: "Ruyang here is a natural backing, as long as the situation in the south is undefeated, security will be guaranteed here, even if we did not have the confidence to attack this city when we went north, as long as there are a thousand Yellow Turban soldiers in the city to defend it, it is enough, and it can be used as a transit to connect the north and south of Runan to occupy, not only with the Yellow Turban Army in Shangcai Gepo, but also with the northeast direction of the He Man Department to jointly fight, for the Yellow Turban Army to achieve a superior situation, this is the right way!" ”

He paused and continued: "But now they have given up Ruyang, Ruyang has fallen into the hands of us and others, it is enough to stuck, they can't go up, they can't go down, they can't open up one battlefield into two battlefields, so that the two departments can't help each other, once one battlefield is defeated, it will be the annihilation of the whole army, isn't it a stupid move?" ”

"What Shaoqu Shuai means is that there is a problem with this matter!"

All the generals saw that Mu Jing had deep doubts about giving up Ruyang City with Huang Shao.

"There must be a problem!"

Mu Jing's eyes looked at the five major parts, and then asked, "How do you feel about Huang Shao?" ”

"Savvy!" Luo Yingdao: "Gong Du once said that he was born as a bookkeeper, he has read, he has also calculated accounts, he has always been our military advisor, and Ge Po's uprising was planned by him!" ”

"Treacherous!" Chen Zhi suddenly spoke: "I have seen him, when he was in Gepo, he came to visit Gong Du, I watched the conversation between them, this person gave me the feeling, very treacherous, incomprehensible!" ”

"Shrewd, treacherous?"

Mu Jing sneered: "Would such a person make such a mistake?" ”

"But now Ruyang City is in our hands!"

Junhou Xie Yu didn't think it was difficult to figure out, but he could see simple things, so he said emphatically: "As long as we hold here, aren't we already stuck with them?" ”

"Well said!"

The pastor nodded and said: "From now on, Luo Ying, Xie Yu, you each lead your subordinates, one guards the northern city, and the other guards the southern city, you must be cautious and vigilant, I don't want Ruyang City, which falls into our hands, to be taken by others, my Mujing is leading the army for the first time, and I can't afford to lose this person!" ”

"No!"

The two nodded in agreement.

"Du Feng, you lead the troops to respond in the center!"

"Yes!"

"Chen Dao, you lead the troops to guard the county government, and my safety will be handed over to you!"

"Yes!"

"Mo Bao!"

"In!"

"Order in the city, you personally lead the troops to maintain, and the chaos can be suppressed with heavy canons, not chaos, and ...... You'd better take care of your sons, I don't want to hear anyone damage my Jingping Camp's reputation. ”

After a pause, he stood up, his eyes swept over, and said: "I not only say this to him, but also to each of you, the soldiers under my Mu Jing's command, no matter what their background, I can not care, but after entering my command, they must abide by my military regulations, and anyone who violates military regulations will be killed, and there is no other word!" ”

"Yes!"

The five great military marquis could see Sen Leng's killing intent in Mu Jing's eyes, and they suddenly became serious one by one.

"Go ahead!"

"Yes!"

The five bowed and turned to leave.

Above the lobby, it was suddenly cold and lonely, the frost on Mu Jing's face did not dissipate, but became more severe, and his gaze fell on the marching chart on the desk.

"You're still worried there's a trap in there!"

Zhang Ning's soft voice sounded, she rarely spoke, but it was always just right.

"I have to worry!"

Mu Jing drank lowly: "Tan Zong! ”

"In!" Tan Zong walked out.

"Use all the means at your disposal, whether it is money, coercion or temptation, in short, in short, I want to know the situation of the battle in the north in the shortest possible time!"

"No!"

Tan Zong took the order, left the lobby, led a fast horse, left Ruyang City, and went north to investigate in person, he also sprinkled a lot of spies in the north, but he thought it was better to do it himself.

"Huo Yu, write a letter for me!"

"Yes!"

Huo Yu is the scholar in Zhongyang Town, and now he is Mu Jing's book, that is, the handling of military Chinese cases, the management of some case files, and the establishment of military status, he can do a good job.

This is not a strategist, and he is not very familiar with government affairs, but he is a scholar after all, and he is very good at this book task and recording the war.

At the beginning, Zhongyang Town helped escort the grain and grass to the north, but now they have all been taken by Mujing.

With Mu Jing's three-inch tongue, it is easy to convince this group of countrymen who have never seen the world that the man is alive and has made contributions, and this core principle alone has already moved all of them.

Now these people are the personal soldiers who guard Mu Jing's left and right.

Mu Jing will not have absolute trust in the Yellow Turban Army, after all, it is a surrender, but for these people who came forward to rescue him at a critical time, he trusts him very much, let Huo Shao lead the guards, and Huo Yu will play the role of secretary, so he will be much easier.

Mu Jing dictated, Huo Yu put pen to paper, and a letter was quickly written, and then Huo Yu sealed it with fire paint.

"Huo Shao!"

"In!"

Huo Shao, the leader of the Orion in Zhongyang Town and now the general of the guard, strode in.

"You have this letter delivered to my father, as quickly as possible!" His head was a little insufficient now, and he had to let a few wise people in the Mushan camp analyze the situation for him, so he marked all the situations and immediately sent them south.

"Yes!"

Huo Shao took the secret letter, went out, summoned two of his subordinates, handed the letter to them, and then told them to be careful, so that they could hurry south.
