It is said that Wang Qing listened to Zeng Yu's instructions, and Wu Ming led the rest of the soldiers back to Jinniu Mountain quietly, in view of the fact that they tried to avoid attracting attention this time, so they traveled lightly, and originally planned to send 200,000 catties of grain to the mountain After Wang Qing said that the food on the mountain was sufficient, it was temporarily left in the warehouse of the county government, and then sent by Zeng Yu himself after the matter was over, and he also planned to see the development status of the unclothed army with his own eyes.

After Wang Qing and Wu Ming arrived at Jinniu Mountain, the two asked the soldiers to return to their respective teams, while they themselves went straight to Dazhai on the top of the mountain, and they needed to return to Zhou Cang and Sun Hao.

The two came to the meeting hall of Dazhai on the top of the mountain, and only Zhou Cang was present. When Zhou Cang saw Wang Qing and them coming back, he immediately put down the things in his hand and went out to greet them, and at the same time sent someone to inform Sun Hao to come over, he knew that Sun Hao was also worried about things down the mountain.

When Zhou Cang saw the two of them, he asked before he could meet them: "Ziwu, you have finally come back, is the lord going well in Anping County?" ”

"Haha, everything is going well, with us out of the horse, of course no problem, the eldest brother has now controlled Anping County, so we came back." Wang Qing said with a laugh.

"That's right, now the big and small families in the county, except for the uprooted Wang family and the Sun family, have all joined the lord, and they have all sent their own families to serve as grassroots officials in the county government." Wu Ming also added in due course.

"I knew that now we could finally let go." Hearing this good news, Zhou Cang was also relieved.

"I heard that Ziwu and they are back, where are they?" A voice suddenly came from outside the door, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that it was Sun Hao coming. He was working next to him, and after someone from Zhou Cang came to inform him, he immediately rushed over.

"Second brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." Wang Qing stepped forward and said to Sun Hao.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few days, Ziwu has become sensational. How's it going, everything is okay, how is it now, big brother? Sun Hao hammered Wang Qing's shoulder and asked with a smile, he also guessed a little when he saw Wang Qing's expression.

"The eldest brother currently holds the real power of Anping County, everything has been on the right track, and the new county soldiers have also been recruited and handed over to Bo Yu to start training."

"Let's stop standing here, let's go inside." Zhou Cang said.

The four of them entered the hall together, during which Zhou Cang asked Wang Qing about what happened, and Wang Qing and Wu Ming told the recent events together. Although what they said was relatively simple, whether it was Zhou Cang or Sun Hao, they were all people who had seen battlefield battles, and some of them could be seen from their stories. They thought that the unclothed army should have big losses this time, but when asked about Wang Qing's final results, both of them were surprised.

This is also since the unclothed army has won all the surrounding cottages, except for Huanglongzhai, there are no other opponents, they didn't expect the unclothed army to be so strong, although the opponent has not undergone good training, but it also shows the strength of the unclothed army itself.

"Ziwu, when you come back, did the eldest brother let you talk?" After understanding the situation under the mountain, Sun Hao asked Wang Qing.

"We're back so soon, that's it. After I went down the mountain, I said that the current difficulty of attacking Huanglongzhai was difficult, and then a new military advisor of the lord proposed a plan, the lord and I both thought it was feasible, and everyone else agreed, and the eldest brother set this plan, and I came up to inform everyone to cooperate with the action. Wang Qing nodded and said.

"Oh, I don't know who this military advisor is, and what kind of strategy is he proposing?" Hearing that Zeng Yu had recruited a new military advisor, Sun Hao flashed a trace of surprise in his heart and asked Wang Qing.

Wang Qing had long expected Sun Hao to ask, he smiled in his heart, but still answered Sun Hao's question. At the same time, Guo Jia's proposal and the strategy set by everyone after the agreement were relayed to the two of them in detail.

Zhou Cang and Sun Hao listened to Wang Qing's relay, the two looked at each other, and nodded at the same time, both feeling that this strategy was feasible. Because Huanglongzhai has been accustomed to paying money and grain on time in the nearby county towns for so many years, he would never have thought that they would take the opportunity to sneak attack, coupled with the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Ruishi Battalion, it is completely possible to take at least one frontier peak by surprise. And as long as they take a mountain peak, they are equivalent to containing the throat of Huanglongzhai, leaving the other party in a passive position, and whether it is attacking or encircling, the initiative is in their hands.

If the other party chooses to attack, it is just right, the strength of the unclothed army can completely hold the peak, plus Zeng Yu and they led the troops to attack from behind, and under the front and rear attacks, there is a chance to defeat the other party. If the other party does not attack, it is even better, they can subdue the forces around Huanglongzhai one by one, and at the same time blockade Huanglongzhai. Through Sun Hao's investigation, they knew that Huanglongzhai was the same as them, and the grain and grass they needed came from external transportation, and it was already more than five months, and the other party's grain and grass must not be much left, at most a month or two, they could completely let Huanglongzhai break down because of the lack of food.

"Ziwu, did the lord say when they will start attacking?" Since the plan was feasible, Zhou Cang asked Wang Qing when to act.

"The eldest brother agreed that it would take two days for us to return from the march after half a month, and now there are still thirteen days before the time of the attack. Considering that it takes at least five days to get to Huanglongzhai from here, we have a maximum of eight days to prepare. Wang Qing replied.

"Okay, let's get ready. I don't know how Yuan Shao's reserve soldiers are training now, and whether they can participate in this battle together. Sun Hao said excitedly, and at the same time, he hoped that the unclothed army would do his best in this battle, so that the reserve soldiers trained by Pei Yuanshao would also participate, after all, a soldier who had not been on the battlefield would never become a real soldier.

"Lao Pei must have no problem over there, he came to me yesterday and asked when there was a fight, I must bring him." Zhou Cang knew Pei Yuanshao very well, and when he heard Sun Hao ask, he replied directly.

"Well, I'm proposing to call a meeting tomorrow to everyone above the Commander to discuss it. First, I will announce to everyone that the eldest brother has become the commander of Anping County, and secondly, I will tell you about Huanglongzhai, and make preparations before the battle. Sun Hao thought for a moment and proposed to Zhou Cang.

"Yes, it's time to tell everyone the good news." Wang Qing also echoed in a timely manner.

"Well, I'll send someone to inform you. You've had a hard time marching all the way, so go back to the barracks and rest first. Zhou Cang thought for a while and agreed.

In the next few days, the entire Golden Bull Mountain entered into the pre-battle preparations. At the behest of Zhou Cang, the workshop began to produce arrows at full capacity, while the soldiers of the Sharps, Marksmen, and Reserve Battalions began to train more intensively, making sure that they could be ordered to prohibit them in battle. Especially Pei Yuanshao, he has been training 4,000 reserve soldiers at the foot of the mountain according to the training minutes given by Zeng Yu, and now he looks like he can be called elite in the military formation, and his combat effectiveness has been greatly improved compared to before.

In the past, when the unclothed army subdued the other nearby cottages, it was always the Sharp Battalion and the Shooter Battalion that cooperated with each other to break through each other, and the soldiers of the reserve battalion did not participate in a single battle, which made all their soldiers hold their breath. At the conference, when Pei Yuanshao heard that the three major battalions were going to be dispatched in this attack on Huanglongzhai, he strongly asked to serve as the vanguard, Zhou Cang and Zeng Yu couldn't bear his request, and after discussing with Wang Qing and Wu Qin, they agreed to his request.

When Pei Yuanshao brought the news to the reserve camp, all the soldiers cheered. The soldiers of the reserve battalion were originally interested in fighting on the battlefield and making meritorious contributions, and in the past, because of their combat effectiveness, neither Zhou Cang nor Sun Hao agreed to their premature fighting, which made them feel like they were abandoned, but now that the opportunity has really come, everyone is eager to immediately pick up their weapons and rush to Huanglongzhai, and their enthusiasm for training is suddenly high.

Soon it was time to leave, and there were still six days left before the agreed time. But because Zeng Yu's side was nominally transporting money and grain to Huanglongzhai, it was impossible to wait for them in front of Huanglongzhai, so they had to rush to the vicinity of Huanglongzhai before Zeng Yu arrived, and made an agreement with Zeng Yu, so Zhoucang and they decided to set off one day earlier.

The attackers were led by Zhou Cang, Wang Qing as the deputy, and then Wu Qin, Wu Shi and Pei Yuanshao as the auxiliaries, while Sun Hao stayed in Jinniushan to guard the camp. As for the dispatch of troops, the 2,500 men of the Rui Shi Battalion, the 800 men of the Archer Battalion, and the 4,000 soldiers of the Reserve Battalion were all dispatched by the whole battalion.

After a simple oath, starting from the top of the mountain, the men and horses set off in an orderly manner under the leadership of their respective commanders. Since the march would take five days, a corresponding amount of dry food had already been prepared in advance, enough for one person to eat for eight days, in order to prevent the loss of food as soon as the attack failed. As for the future, Zeng Yu's side itself carried grain and grass over, which was enough for the consumption of these thousands of people.

Because he was worried that Huanglongzhai would know the news of their attack, during the march, Zhou Cang asked Wang Qing to arrange several pairs of scouts to conduct uninterrupted exploration within five miles, these scouts were the elite of the Ruishi battalion and the shooter battalion, and under the uninterrupted search, all the news of their attack could be blocked, so as to ensure that the team transporting grain would not be identified and annihilated by Huanglongzhai.

Less than ten kilometers in front of Huanglongzhai, there is a large wooded area. After a five-day march, the unclothed arrived here to hide. At the same time, in addition to keeping an eye on the people in Huanglongzhai, the scouts sent by Zhou Cang should also pay attention to the direction of Anping County, and if they find the grain transportation team sent by Zeng Yu, they will immediately come back to report, so that the unclothed army can contact Zeng Yu here.
