Inside the headquarters of the 1st Infantry Brigade.

"What does this mean, sir? Let's not fight Huangfu Song? After reading the order, a staff officer asked worriedly, they had always believed that fighting Huangfu Song was where their most valuable place was, and many troops, especially the First Infantry Corps, had already hurriedly released the slogan of capturing Huang Fu Song alive. Morale is very high. But now, they don't fight. This worries the staff officers, and the officers and soldiers below will hold their breath.

"Look at you in a hurry, am I not in a hurry? I don't know if it's good to beat Huangfu Song? Xu Dou also held back this momentum, originally they had already planned to attack Huangfu Song, and he knew that the Third Infantry Brigade had already begun to prepare for the attack. They are also actively preparing here, and the tunnels have been dug. Just wait to bury a large number of ** in it before the order, so that the northern army can know how powerful they are, but, suddenly, an order. Tell them not to fight. They are also aggrieved in their hearts, and they also feel uncomfortable with such things.

"There must be a reason for this, sir, there must be something, we can't be in a hurry, it's useless to be anxious, besides, three infantry brigades, huddled together, how many people are there in the three brigades combined, fifty or sixty thousand. 50,000 or 60,000 people can't beat 5,000 people, and it's a shame to hear. Xu Dou said.

"But sir, the order to attack Huangfu Song was given to the Second Brigade. We, didn't we prepare in vain? The staff officer said with some unconvincing.

"Bai Preparation, I said you kid, you can really pull it, are we preparing in vain?" Xu Dou asked the other party.

"Without Huangfu Song, there are still many places in the south that have not been defeated, Handan, isn't it the same to take Handan? and Yecheng, you kid has the ability, so you will take all those places for Lao Tzu. Xu Dou scolded loudly.

"Damn, there are still many places that haven't been beaten down, who is rare for an emperor. Really. Go and find out what the 3rd Brigade is going to do. Wait a minute. Xu Dou said.

"I'll go anyway, the headquarters must have something to look for us." Xu Dou said that he was about to leave here. The staff officers knew that their commander was sour, and he must have some opinions, after all, they all knew the situation there, and it was still a great credit to defeat Huangfu Song. But now given to the 2nd Infantry Brigade, which makes their situation feel a little less good. This was a combat achievement, but it was pushed to the 2nd Infantry Brigade. It made them a little uncomfortable.

Inside the encirclement, Huangfu Song looks at the battlefield of the Red Turban Army opposite, these days. Soldiers on both sides are digging incessantly. The Red Turban Army set up artillery to bombard, while the soldiers of the Northern Army on this side just kept digging pits and strengthening their defenses, and the two sides formed a confrontation.

"I feel that the Red Turban Army on the opposite side has made a big move. They can't stick to it like this, but there is a problem. Huangfu Song handed over the only pair of binoculars to his Sima. After the last incident, Huang Fu Song no longer kept the telescope by his side. Because they feel that it is very dangerous, things like telescopes can only be used by commanders, and such iconic objects will point out the identity of the other party, the snipers of the Red Turban Army are always aiming at them, and Huangfu Song doesn't want his head to be knocked off by the other party all at once. Because it's a shame to say that.

"General, if I were the Red Turban Army, their troops would have suffered relatively large casualties after several successive large-scale operations, and in such a situation, they would definitely take some measures to reorganize their own troops, and if they do not attack at the moment, it may be like this." Cao Cao said.

"Hmm. Makes sense. Huangfu Song nodded and said. Cao Cao's idea is correct, Cao Cao is analyzing the problem from the perspective of the Red Turban Army. It's natural to think of this, but it's not very useful to come up with it. Because they can't do anything.

"We don't know much about the Red Turban Army, there are currently three infantry brigades fighting against us, and they have an absolute advantage in numbers, do you think the Red Turban Army will concentrate such a large number of troops on our side?" Huangfu Song asked Cao Cao.

"What do you mean?" Cao Cao asked.

"It's very simple, the Red Turban Army on the opposite side will not do this, if I am the Red Turban Army, I will attack such a strategy as Handan and Huguan, and if necessary, the giant deer in our rear will also be lost. The impact on us is going to be huge. Huang Fu Song said.

"It's a pity that we're already surrounded here, and we can't do anything." Huangfu Song said.

"General, what I'm worried about is grain and grass, although the army has hoarded enough food, but if they use something like flying in the sky to attack, our army's food and grass must be separated as soon as possible. If the encirclement arrives at the moment when the two sides are fighting. Our. Cao Cao said worriedly. Cao Cao was actually worried about the siege, and the siege was not terrible to him, as long as they held on. I am afraid that under siege, morale will be extremely low, and combat effectiveness will gradually be exhausted. This is a great disaster for them, and in the face of such a disaster, their situation will become extremely difficult.

"Wait, we'll have to wait." Huangfu Song said helplessly. That's all he can do for now. Because the initiative is not in their hands, what they can do is still very limited, if they have enough strength, there will definitely not be such a situation, in such a situation, the best way is to wait. Huangfu Song felt very passive, but he was also very helpless.

"Come and see." Shang Wu took the horse and came to the map to look at it.

"Letting you enter the Shangdang area is actually letting you gain a firm foothold, as long as you gain a firm foothold, you can control Zhongtiao Mountain and Wangwu Mountain. Then you can cross it and enter the east of the river. And with the east of the river as a pedal, it crossed the Yellow River and entered the territory under the actual control of the Xiongnu. Fight to the north, and in this way, the problem of our mobile forces will be fundamentally improved. Shang Wu said to Ma Heng.

"Sir, in this way, the distance of the attack is long, and the logistics and supply guarantee will be extremely troublesome. Moreover, the safety of our flanks is also difficult to guarantee. Especially the one that joins the state army, despite what the commander said. Peace will be negotiated with the imperial court, and the two sides may maintain a temporary standoff, but in such a situation, in fact, there are still many things that we have not properly resolved. If the combined state army suddenly attacked, our army would become a lone army. Ma Heng said as he looked at the map.

"Well, you're right, we've noticed that. So, in this case, we have used other methods to solve this problem. I will let the 1st Brigade, that is, the expanded 1st Infantry Division, enter Taiyuan from the east of the river and occupy Taiyuan as much as possible, so that the two of you can follow the Yellow River. The two units alternated with each other for cover operations. Shang Wu said. Ma Heng looked at the map.

"Report." That's when it happened. Xu Dou reported loudly.

"Come in." Shang Wu said. Xu Dou came in and saw Ma Heng, he felt a little surprised. But think about it, the task of attacking Huangfu Song didn't fall on the two of them, and neither of them would be too happy. It's normal to come here. If you don't come here, it's not abnormal.

"It's just in time, you come here." Shang Wu said.

"Sir." Xu Dou came over and said.

"You'll be infantry divisions from now on. I'll give you the task, when the 3rd Infantry Division enters the country, you will be a division. It is necessary to take Handan as quickly as possible, threaten the area around Yecheng, and then leave a little troops, most of the troops will follow closely into the country, the third division will attack Huguan, after taking Huguan, it is Tunliu, the eldest son, and more areas to fight, and then defend along Zhongtiao and Wangwushan. Shang Wu said.

"The next step is to fight from the east of the river, the third division will cross the Yellow River to fight the Huns, and the task of your first division is also very heavy. Attack Taiyuan and gain a firm foothold in Bingzhou as much as possible. Shang Wu said.

Xu Dou was stunned by Shang Wu's series of big moves. He hadn't yet reacted from Huangfu Song's offensive operations, but he had been told such a big battle plan, and the combat area was actually in the west, but they were not familiar with it at all. There are many situations that Xu Dou can hardly think of.

"What? Having difficulties? Shang Wu asked Xu Dou.

"Nope. Sir, there are no difficulties, we have no difficulties. We promise to take Handan. Xu Dou replied. He looked at Ma Heng, but Ma Heng didn't look at him, Ma Heng was still looking at the map. It seems that he has already started to make plans for it.

"Weapons and equipment, personnel, I will replenish you as soon as possible, you must be prepared for the present, stand firm, and then you will fight. You won't have enough time. There are many, many difficulties, and you have to think about them. Shang Wu said.

"You should see going there as opening up a new base area, starting from scratch, and the land policy should be made clear. There are many more civilians, and you have to do a good job and have a good relationship with the locals. Jia Xu came over at this time and said.

"Sir, military advisor, is it the same for dealing with the Huns?" Ma Heng asked.

"I'm from Xiliang, those nomadic tribes, I have to deal with them like this, I can't be polite to them." Ma Heng said.

"I'm also from Xiliang." Jia Xu said.

"I'm not." Shang Wu said. Jia Xu said and pulled Shangwu to the side.

"Those Huns must deal with it in this way, and they must not adopt a policy of softness. Otherwise, something will go wrong. Jia Xu said.

"But we can't bear to beat blindly." Shang Wu said.

"Fighting is not the goal, there are many things that need to be solved in other ways." Shang Wu said.

"I understand, but this question is not clear." Jia Xu said.
