Gongsun Xun led six or seven thousand cavalry to the east along the north bank of the Yellow River, even if it was necessary to take care of the supply lines in the Yellow River...... A large number of ships carried countless supplies and ordnance down the river, supplying the army along the way...... But he still quickly reached Dongjun and saw the banner of the Yellow Turban Army in the distance.

There is nothing like the wind in this, purely because Dong County is too close to Hanoi, or rather, the two counties are barely bordered by the Yellow River! Of course, the right Zhonglang made Zhu Jun's side even more pitted, he walked dozens of miles east from Luoyang, and saw the traces of the Yellow Turban Army as soon as he got out of the customs.

Back in front of me, just south of Chaoge City, the easternmost part of Hanoi County, across the Yellow River, is actually Yan County, the westernmost part of Dongjun, which has also fallen at this time. And Yan County continues to the east, is Baima and Wei Township.

Among them, Yan County and Baima are the county seats, Wei Township is the township, but there is an ancient city to rely on, Yan County is in the west, Baima is in the northeast, Wei Township is in the southeast, the three form a character shape on the south bank of the Yellow River, firmly guarding the three to the east, and then also in Puyang, the capital of East County on the south bank of the Yellow River. Correspondingly, a solid iron triangle defense area on the westernmost side of the Yellow Turban in Dongjun was also formed to deal with the Han army in Luoyang.

The banner of the Yellow Turban Army that Gongsun Xun and his subordinates saw actually came from the White Horse City on the south bank of the Yellow River...... The word "Yellow Sky" stands tall and stands on the embankment on the north bank of the Yellow River, and can be seen in the distance across the river.

"The Yellow River passes through Dongjun, splitting Dongjun into two parts, north and south, and I don't know whether it is good or bad." Cao Cao, the cavalry captain, wore armor and a big hat, led a large number of Chinese officers and officials, accompanied Gongsun Xun to dismount and stop on the embankment of the Yellow River, and then looked at the banner of the Yellow Turban Army in White Horse City on the south bank and sighed for a while.

Cao Mengde is the only two 2,000 stones in the army, and his position is prominent, as soon as this remark came out, the surrounding officers naturally followed his words and discussed.

Some people say that the Yellow River lies in the middle of the county, which is indeed not conducive to the advantage of their cavalry in the eastern county;

It is also said that although it is difficult for your cavalry to cross the river, it is more difficult for the Yellow Turban thieves to cross the river, so it is beneficial to your side...... In this way, they went down the river and swept the eight cities in the north of Dongjun on the north bank of the Yellow River, and then crossed the river to sweep the cities on the south bank, but they did not have to worry about the Yellow Turban Army supporting each other.

Soon, probably because Gongsun Xun and Cao Cao, the two officials, were standing here, the second view quickly gained the upper hand. For a while, everyone thought, or at least verbally, that the existence of the Yellow River was an advantage for the Han army, and then under the leadership of General Gongsun and Cao Duwei, everyone would definitely be able to sweep the north of Dongjun County, destroy the Yellow Turbans, and make contributions!

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Cao Apu squinted his eyes and coughed dryly, and then turned to Gongsun Xun, who was silent in the wind and facing the knife to the south, opened his mouth: "Wen ...... Nakaro General! ”

"Wasn't he still a general in Mengjin a few days ago?" Gongsun Xun's figure was motionless, and he just asked with a sneer.

"General." Cao Cao is also shameless, in fact, General Zhonglang himself is just an official rank between a general and a lieutenant. "What does the general think?"

"When he didn't leave Hanoi, Brother Meng De whispered with his general Xiahou Yuan all day long, and he didn't stop for a moment." Gongsun Xun didn't look at each other, but replied with a smile. But after leaving Hanoi, he stuck to me all day long, and now he took the opportunity to encourage everyone to say such words...... I'm afraid that I want to talk and do something, right? ”

Cao Apu's eyes narrowed even more: "The general is really clever!" ”

"Let's hear about it." Gongsun Xun's eyes were still looking at the Yellow River in front of him or the White Horse City on the south bank of the Yellow River, but he also gave Cao Cao some face.

"General." Cao Cao couldn't help but say. "The part of the eastern county on the north bank of the Yellow River, the westernmost city is not elsewhere, but the Dunqiu ...... where I used to serve as the county commander."

Not only Gongsun Xun was stunned, but most of the officers of the Northern Army present and even the old department brought by Gongsun Xun from Youzhou also suddenly rose...... After Cao Cao killed his uncle Jian Shuo in the northern part of Luoyang, he was reappointed as Dunqiu Ling, in other words, there was his foundation there.

"What Meng De means is that there is help from the inside of Dunqiu?" Lou Gui, Cao Cao's old friend who accompanied the army counselor, immediately couldn't help but ask questions.

"Yes!" Cao Cao couldn't help but say proudly. "Don't hide it from Uncle Zi, not only Dunqiu, but Weiguo County behind Dunqiu, I can also do something!"

"Dare to ask Captain Cao, what are you prepared for?" Gongsun Yue asked seriously.

Cao Cao looked at Gongsun Xun who didn't care, and still looked south at Gongsun Xun, and couldn't help but be a little frustrated, so he hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from the general and your colleagues, when I was in Dunqiu in the past, I had a capable subordinate, surnamed Le, named Jin, and ......humble in words."

Gongsun Xun finally glanced back at this guy slightly.

Seeing it like this, Cao Mengde finally became high-spirited again: "Wen Qian is quite courageous and brave. His family was originally from Yangping, Dongjun, and later moved to Weiguo, west of Dunqiu, and was favored by me as a subordinate official of Dunqiu County, so his person was quite famous in the northern part of Dongjun. Now, as our army is about to leave for East County, I thought of him at that time, and I sent someone to contact him...... He also replied that if the army was about to arrive in Dunqiu, he could lead his family and the township party into the city in advance! And in my opinion, if you use it properly, maybe you can take down Dunqiu with Wen Qian as the inner should, and then you can let him disguise it to defraud the country! ”

Everyone talked about it for a while, but most of them were surprised and inexplicable, and then agreed.

Gongsun Xun also nodded again and again: "This matter is absolutely feasible, then Lejin Le Wenqian, the name alone sounds like a thing that can be done." ”

Cao Cao was finally overjoyed: "In this case, you might as well speed up the march and go to Dunqiu as quickly as possible, so as not to be discovered by the Yellow Turban thieves and increase reinforcements." ”

Gongsun Xunfu shook his head again: "This matter is not in a hurry. ”

Cao Mengde couldn't help but stagnate: "The military situation is like fire, how can you not be in a hurry?" ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Mengde." Gongsun Xun also sighed when he heard this, and then pointed his finger at the river in front of him. "I watched the river collapse like a dragon today, but I suddenly remembered a person......

Not only Cao Mengde, but the rest of the people were also at a loss.

"You say," Gongsun Xun sighed even more when he saw this. "You can sigh by the river today, shouldn't you thank Wang Jing and Wang Zhongtong?"

Cao Cao was speechless, and the rest of the people also looked at each other...... It's not that everyone doesn't know who Wang Jing and Wang Zhongtong are, on the contrary, it is precisely because everyone knows more about who this person is, that they will feel speechless! Now that you are marching and about to fight, you, as the commander of an army, don't think about how to plan and use it, but rely on the ancients here?!

So who is Wang Jing and Wang Zhongtong?

The answer is that this person was born in Pyongyang in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, but this person was famous for hundreds of years not because of his background and career, but because he was the greatest water conservancy engineering expert of the Han Dynasty...... Not one of them.

Many people may wonder why the Han Dynasty county, which generally took the geography of mountains and rivers as its natural boundary, made a mess when it came to the eastern county and the plain country...... These two large counties are all divided into two by the Yellow River (Dongjun is actually divided into three), and it is not clear whether it is Henan or Hebei.

In fact, in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, these two counties were standard Henan regions, and then the northern boundary was all based on the Yellow River.

However, at that time, the Yellow River often flooded, and it and the Bianhe River interfered with each other, making the people in several counties of the three states along the way miserable, and Wang Jing was sent by Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty to repair the Yellow River. Under Wang Jing's rule, the lower reaches of the Yellow River were completely dredged and diverted, and a strong Yellow River dam was built, and the strange geographical state of Dongjun and Pingyuan Kingdom being crossed by the Yellow River was artificially shaped by Wang Jing at that time.

After the river and dam were renovated, Dongjun and the plain became famous and rich in the world, not to mention, the key is that since then, the entire Han Dynasty, the Yellow River has not been in chaos!

Of course, Gongsun Xun still underestimated Wang Jing...... What he didn't know was that the Yellow River channel renovated by Wang Jing had been running well for nearly 800 years! In the past 800 years, the Yellow River has not caused a big mess because of the problem of the river, and there are very few breaches! This achievement, I am ashamed that I don't know how many descendants!

"Wang Zhongtong ......" Cao Cao stopped for a long time, and could only reluctantly agree. Wang Zhongtong has indeed left a legacy to the world for more than 100 years, and he deserves to be a generation of famous officials. ”

Gongsun Xun shook his head again and again: "Why is it just a generation of famous officials? I once built a small embankment in Handan that day, and I know the hardships and benefits of water conservancy, so I am always proud of it. But when I came to Dongjun today and saw Wang Zhongtong's Yellow River embankment, I knew that my achievements could be called small...... Brother Meng De, my generation has made meritorious achievements, but we must also distinguish between good and bad, such as conquering cities and conquering cities, no matter how high the achievements are, how can they compare to Wang Zhongtong's achievements? ”

Cao Cao was quite speechless, if he hadn't known the person in front of him for a long time, he would almost think that the other party was a jealous villain, and he deliberately beat himself just because he proposed a clever plan to break the city.

"Naven...... What did the general think? Cao Cao asked helplessly. Do you want to wait for the Dunqiu to erect a monument to Wang Zhongtong? ”

"No, you don't." Gongsun Xun immediately waved his hand and said. "A hundred-year-old embankment lasts longer than any inscription...... I intend to suspend the march tomorrow, and then sacrifice in the river to sacrifice Wang Zhongtong! ”

Cao Mengde was really speechless...... For a moment, he really suspected that the person in front of him was deliberately suppressing himself!

obviously told the other party that he had arranged an internal response in Dunqiu, but the other party actually wanted to suddenly stop marching and sacrifice to the famous officials of this dynasty? !

Even if your voice is high, what you say makes sense, but is it good to be fighting now? Thousands of cavalry, including boats and people in the river, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people, just because you stopped for a whole day on a whim?

However, Cao Cao is Cao Cao after all, although he also has doubts and was resentful for a while, but after all, he remembered the battle example of the person in front of him and the personal relationship between the two, so he barely maintained his posture.

However, most of the people present really thought that Gongsun Xun was specifically beating Cao Cao and not letting the latter make meritorious contributions easily! In fact, Xiahou Xun was already staring at Gongsun Xun with wide eyes! It's just that Zhang Fei, who was here with him, also stared at him, so that Xiahou Yuan, who killed people in his teens, didn't dare to react.

At this point, Gongsun Xun didn't look at the faces of the others, but went straight back to his horse, and then gave orders as he walked forward...... If you listen carefully, you can see that they are all preparing for the sacrifice in the river.

For example, tonight you will camp in a place where the river is wide and the water is gentle.

For example, the fleet in the river has to take out a lot of ordnance and distribute it to free up the boats;

In addition, these boats are also connected with iron cables, which are simply tied together to build several stable platforms, so that the five senses will enter the river to pray and sacrifice.

The list goes on and on, and it doesn't look like a joke at all!

There was a lot of discussion in the army, but the head of the Qianshi Sima when he traveled before was still vivid, and no one dared to make a suggestion to Gongsun Xun at all.

Cao Mengde, the only one who has this qualification and is not afraid of the scepter, is a little sensitive, and it is not easy to admonish him.

As a result, for a while, these absurd orders were actually conveyed and executed.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, in the White Horse City, the little handsome of the Yellow Turban Army here saw the Han Army Brigade on the north bank of the river with chariots and horses, and the fleet and cavalry were all neat, and they were heading eastward...... Half worried, half relieved.

The worry is that the Han army is extremely magnificent, and the speed of going down the river is fast, and at a glance you know that it is the elite of the official army. And the reason for the relief is even more real, the river is isolated, since the Han army chose to march along the north bank and fight the cities on the north bank, then they can be more or less stable here.

To put it bluntly, since the incident, the Yellow Turbans of Dongjun have basically been invincible, even if some cities have resisted, they can't withstand the absolute numerical superiority of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Send fast horses to Puyang!" This nervous little handsome saw the Han army gradually disappear from view, so he was completely relieved, and then hurriedly ordered. "Tell Bu Shuai, as reported in Yan County the day before yesterday, the Han army is so strong, the army is neat, and it goes straight to Dunqiu along the north bank, please make a decision!"

When the people below got the order, they naturally didn't dare to say much, so they hurriedly mobilized a few horses and rode to Puyang in the east. As for the information that Puyang had received, Qu Shuaibu had already hurriedly asked for a large number of reinforcements from Zhangjiao, Hebei, but at the same time, he was conscientious and continued to urge several cities in the north of Dongjun to concentrate their elites to support Dunqiu...... Naturally, there is no need to say much about this.

Back to the Han army, on this day across the river across the white horse, the army because of the commander's nervousness to go to the river on the second day to pay tribute to the sages, so early to find a place with gentle water, camped by the river.

Then, as Gongsun Xun ordered, the people in the river worked tirelessly, vacating the boats, and the iron cables, they were busy before dinner, and they were still busy after dinner! It caused everyone to talk about it non-stop.

Faced with such a situation, Cao Cao, who confirmed that Gongsun Xun was not bluffing, sat in his military tent, and was simply puzzled. What's more, Xiahoudun was angry on the side, which also made him upset and shaken! And in the middle of the night, Le Jin suddenly sent someone to send an urgent letter overnight, saying that the Yellow Turban Thieves at Dunqiu were constantly reinforcing the troops, and they were all elite and strong, so I was afraid that it would be difficult to start...... But finally Cao Cao couldn't bear it at all, and immediately broke into Gongsun Xun's big tent regardless of the fact that it was late!

"Brother Meng De doesn't rest in his tent, what are you doing here?" Gongsun Xun had already taken off his armor, and was studying his "Taiping Sutra" in the tent at this time, and after seeing the person, this middleman with facial features was neither very surprised, nor prepared, but could only say that he didn't care.

"Wen Qi." Cao Cao rarely admonished with a straight face. "The military situation is like fire, can you wait until after the war to sacrifice Wang Zhongtong?"

"What's the point?" Gongsun Xun still looked unimpressed, and didn't even invite the other party to sit down.

"Le Wenqian just sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Dunqiu has repeatedly had elite reinforcements from the Yellow Turban Thieves entering the city, and he is afraid that he will not be able to do it!"

"It's nature." Gongsun Xun put together the "Taiping Sutra" in his hand and sighed. "Our army swept out of Hanoi, and when the day before yesterday passed the Chaoge, the Yellow Turban thieves in Yan County should have known...... Then the thieves quickly sent a letter to Puyang, and Puyang hurriedly asked Hebei Zhucheng to support Dunqiu, and the time should have been yesterday, and the thief reinforcements from Weiguo and other places arrived in a hurry. ”

"That's so." Cao Cao hurriedly spoke. "Why do you have to delay, why not rush in?"

"Can you win by marching quickly?" Gongsun Xun sat down for a few cases and asked with a smile. "Even if you rush to Dunqiu, you won't be able to get there until the day after tomorrow, right? How many reinforcements will arrive at Dunqiu at that time? ”

Cao Cao was speechless for a while, but then shook his head: "It's better than slowly rushing over to besiege the city and stalemate, right?" Our army has a majority of cavalry, and is not good at attacking cities, and the thieves in Henan and Hebei stretch for more than 20 cities, so they can only come up with strange strategies...... Le Wenqian is brave and brave, maybe it can be done! ”

"I can also trust the Le Wenqian in your mouth." Gongsun Xun laughed again. But in such a situation, even if it can be done, how much damage will it have? There were six or seven people in our army, and they brought people to falsely claim 10,000 people...... Thieves occupy more than 20 cities, not to mention tens of thousands? If the next city will be damaged by hundreds, it is better not to win! Besides, when I was leaving, I swore an oath that the military had complex and fragmented sources, is it false? If the first battle is unfavorable, won't it be a big demoralization? ”

Cao Cao raised his head thoughtfully, but suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "In this case, where does Wen Qi want to fight?" ”

Gongsun Xun smiled and said nothing.

"Wen Qi, on the day of the oath, you bluffed me into killing the mount of the prison army Huan Dian, so as to establish my authority, I only pretended not to know ......"

"Brother Meng De, you're too stingy, aren't you?" Gongsun Xun finally got up helplessly and smiled. "The ancestral home of the Huan clan is in Peiguo, and you are considered a township party, how can you be angry with you because you killed his mount?"

"Where are you going?" Cao Cao couldn't help but be nervous when he saw the other party come straight out with his hands in his hands.

"Since Brother Meng De thinks I'm delaying time, then I have to hurriedly pay tribute to Wang Zhongtong overnight." Gongsun Xun walked out with his hands in his hands and said without replying. "Do you think that what I say in the day is false? I am grateful that Wang Zhongtong is indeed a hundred years away! ”

Cao Cao sighed when he saw this, and also hurriedly chased out.

The two came to the Yellow River dam with the help of the stars in the sky and the lights in the camp, and then got on the fleet of iron cables...... At this time, he was still busy picking up the lights.

There are no three animals, no sacrifices, and no heads to offer, just a glass of thin wine that Gongsun Xun threw into the river to show sacrifice. Immediately, Gongsun Xun, who was dressed in a single coat, went back proudly.

Cao Cao finally found out that something was wrong!

The flotilla in the river, especially the big ones that rested their ordnance early in the afternoon and evening, were still busy...... But Gongsun Xun obviously doesn't need them to connect to the Chenghe Central Formation Platform to hold the ceremony!

"Is this going to be a pontoon?" At the moment when he stepped back to the north bank of the Yellow River, Cao Mengde felt a thrill in his heart and completely reacted! "You're going to suddenly cross the river early tomorrow morning to fight the white horse?!"

"Why tomorrow?" Gongsun Xun laughed and replied. "Brother Meng De, you said that tomorrow we will lead those 'elites of the Northern Army' who have never been in the battle formation to rest in White Horse City, what kind of expressions will they have? Do you dare to be convinced?! ”

Cao Cao followed behind the other party, half speechless, half anxiously asked: "Send troops overnight, who do you want to go?" Judge the South? ”

Gongsun Xun shook his head again and again: "Since it is a white horse, it is natural to Guan Yunchang!" ”

When the words fell, Cao Cao, who was short in stature, finally followed the other party to climb the embankment of the Yellow River on the north bank, but suddenly saw that there were seven or eight hundred cavalry lined up on the embankment, including Gongsun Xun's White Horse Yicong...... Under the lights, the first two, one with eagle eyes and thin hair, is the main rider of Gongsun Xun, and his villager henchman Han is Han Yigong; The other is red-faced and long-haired, it is the nine-foot giant Guan Yu Guan Yunchang in Hedong.

"It's a little cooler on a spring night." Guan Yu didn't squint, didn't look at Cao Cao, just saluted Gongsun Xun proudly. "The prince and the marquis, please go back to the tent to rest, and directly lead the troops to Baima tomorrow!"

Gongsun Xun smiled when he heard this: "The wine has been sacrificed to Wang Zhongtong, I wanted to borrow some pride from Yun Chang, but I didn't want Yun Chang to lack this bit of pride...... Let's go, see you tomorrow in the White Horse City! ”

Guan Yu didn't answer, and directly led these Youzhou elite cavalry and three hundred white horse servants who had been selected early to join the camp near the embankment, and went down to the pontoon bridge on the embankment lightly...... The night breeze is sassy, Guan Yunchang is mighty, the elite army of Youzhou is mighty, and Cao Mengde, who is looking directly, is very excited!

———————I am the dividing line of the water reversal———————

"From the yellow scarf, Xun worshiped the general of the five senses, and acted as a cavalry captain, and went out of Hanoi to conquer Dong County. To Wei County, the army wants to cross the Yellow River to attack the white horse, the pontoon bridge is initially formed at night, the wind and waves suddenly rise, the pontoon bridge is difficult to walk, the army or the words of the horn to do the demon law, a moment of panic. Cao is to prepare three animals to sacrifice to the river, and the three animals enter the water, and the wind is still not stopping. Xun Fu single clothes to the front, with a cup of wine night sacrifice Wang Zhongtong, wine like the river, the wind and waves stopped, everyone is happy, the army is also safe. Then Guan Yu and Han Dang led 800 cavalry, crossed the pontoon bridge at night, approached the white horse, and went down with a drum. ——"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Cang
