"How's it going, lord?" As soon as he returned to the county guard's mansion, Cheng Yu and several people surrounded him.

"He wants me to be his puppet, he wants to be in power behind the scenes." Zhang Hao said with a faint smile.

"How is this possible, the lord ......" Xun You said anxiously, but Guo Jia next to him elbowed Xun You.

"Gongda, look at the smile on the lord's face, I guess I already have a way to deal with it." Guo Jia looked at Zhang Hao and said to Xun You.

"My lord? I don't know if you have a plan. Xun You looked at Zhang Hao and asked, in fact, after Guo Jia's reminder, coupled with Zhang Hao's current expression, Xun You had already determined Guo Jia's words.

"I can't talk about good strategies, do you know that there is Senior Brother Pengju next to me, and there is another person?" Zhang Hao asked mysteriously.

"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it." Guo Jia nodded and said, as for Cheng Yu and Xun You, they didn't know that there was such a thing.

"That's a master of assassination, don't talk about you, I just know that he must be by my side, I don't even know where he's hiding." Zhang Hao spread his hands and said.

"So powerful?" Cheng Yu and the three of them were shocked at the same time, if it is said that the body is exquisite, good at concealment, and it is reasonable not to be discovered by ordinary people, but Zhang Hao is skilled, his five senses are keen, and even he can't catch the trace of that person, which is too strong.

In fact, Zhang Hao has not deliberately looked for cold ice, otherwise, knowing that there are people around him, Zhang Hao's keen insight can still find some clues, after all, it is just relying on the body method to hide the traces, not stealth.

"Just now I asked that Gongsun Zhao to get Yu'er's handwriting, and the people around me have quietly followed him." Zhang Hao said with a smug face.

"So what do we do next?" Cheng Yu thought about it and asked, he knew that Zhang Hao must have a follow-up plan.

"Sleep, you've stayed up all night, you're not tired." Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"Sleep, sleep?"

"Yes, send someone to the barracks, inform the battalions, rest well, and go out of the city at night while it is night." Zhang Hao said with a whole look.

"My lord, is it so?" Cheng Yu's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Hao's words.

"That's right, the oracle has been sent, and we can do something to those counties." Zhang Hao took out a piece of golden cloth from his arms and handed it to Cheng Yu.

"Great, I'll go get ready." Cheng Yu said and walked in the direction of the Faculty of Letters.

What he said was to prepare, of course, he was preparing to take over the important positions in the counties, and he had already thought about the candidates, most of them were the students Zheng Xuan brought when he came.

"Gongda, Fengxiao, how do you think this battle will be fought?" After Cheng Yu left, Zhang Hao looked at Xun You and Guo Jia.

"My lord, we have already taken the lead, as long as we take it by surprise and attack it unprepared, we will definitely be able to win a big victory." Xun You said excitedly.

Now Zhang Hao has received a secret edict here, and he can attack those county seats, but those county towns are unprepared and are still waiting for Zhang Hao to be dismissed.

"My lord, I suggest that you concentrate all your forces first, and take down the Liao team county first when the enemy is defenseless." Guo Jia thought for a while and said.

"Wonderful, Fengxiao's trick is very good, as long as the Liao team is knocked down, it can become a corner with Xiangping, and the other party can be divided into two halves, and Wuxian and Wangping will have no way to contact other counties." Xun You nodded and said.

"Gongda, Fengxiao, what if we surround the point to send reinforcements?" Zhang Hao thought for a while and said.

"The lord can't, they are just a loose alliance, if they surround a city, others may not come to support, and they will give the other party a respite, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight later." Xun You shook his head and said.

"That's right, if we encircle the point and send reinforcements, it will be a waste of the opportunity we have now." Guo Jia also frowned and said.

"Okay, according to the two of you, how will we fight after the Liao team is defeated?" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"After defeating the Liao team, there are three ways to play, the first is to beat Wuxian and Wangping first, and then go to other counties, but it may force all other counties to unite together."

"The second is to leave people to guard Xiangping and the Liao team, to guard against worrying and Wangping, and the army went straight to the front line of Xinchang and Wenxian in Anshi, but the army left too far, and it was necessary to leave many guards to guard against Wuworry and Wangping."

"The third is to completely divide the troops, increase the troops left behind in Liao and Xiangping, and fight directly to Wuxian and Wangping, the army is still fighting on the Xinchang line, and every county must be divided into troops to garrison, I am afraid that in the end, the forces are too scattered."

"And the enemy we defeated is likely to flee to the next city, and every time we fight a city, we need to leave a certain number of troops to defend it, and when we fight the last two cities, I am afraid that the enemy's army may outnumber us."

Xun Yu said one by one, and Zhang Hao fell into thought.

"Divide the troops." Zhang Hao thought for a while, and then said categorically.

"Lord, it's too risky to do this." Xun You said with some concern.

"No, don't forget that we still have a cavalry team, and if they dare to escape from the city, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape many people." Zhang Hao said with a firm gaze.

Since you want to take it by surprise, then don't give the opponent a chance, if all the county soldiers in the county plus the private soldiers of those big families, the opponent's strength is likely to exceed his own by two or three times.

"Not only do we have to break up the opposing forces, but we also have to take control of these counties as quickly as possible, and if all goes well, we can also promote new crops before spring planting."

"Lord, are you in too much of a hurry?"

"The sooner we plant new crops, we will be able to harvest more, and when we have enough food, we can accept displaced refugees, and we can save one more person." Zhang Hao looked into the distance and said in a deep voice.

It is said that when Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty lived for three years, the population of the Central Plains was more than 50 million, and after the Yellow Turban Uprising, the warlord melee to the Red Cliff War, there were only 1.4 million left in the country.

In addition to wanting to save more people, Zhang Hao also has his own selfishness, what is the war in this era, population, with a population base, there will be more soldiers who can be recruited, and more food will be cultivated if the population is enough.

If the people on his side are several times or dozens of times that of others, even if he gives the enemy a large area of territory, he will not be able to make any waves.

"The Lord is merciful." Xun You and Guo Jia were stunned for a moment and said in unison, it may be a kind of happiness to be able to follow such a person who loves the people.

"Okay, you two should also hurry up and take a rest, set off with the army at night, and camp near the Liao team first, be careful not to leak the news."

"Lord, aren't you together?" Guo Jia asked.

"I'll go and solve Gongsun Zhao tomorrow first, leave such a person, I can't tell when I will jump out and bite us, and when Gongsun Zhao is solved, I will go back and join you."

"Yes, the subordinates retired." The two said yes and withdrew.
