"Oh, you are also from Guangling?" Gao Cheng's eyes shrank slightly, looking at the rough-clothed young man in front of him who claimed to be Xu Xuan, and he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

He read through the history books of the Three Kingdoms in the last world, and of course he knew Xu Xuan's name, which was an important minister of Wei in the three dynasties of Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Rui. He once served as Taishou, Sili Lieutenant, and Shangshu. Eventually, he took up the position that Xun Yu had held.

This future important minister was only a samurai with triple training at this time, and his spiritual power was no different from that of ordinary people. It seems that Xu Xuan did not get the cultivation method of refining the soul flow.

"Yes, in the Haixi clan of Xiaguangling!" Xu Xuan said respectfully.

Zhang Zhao already knew that Wu County could be preserved these days, all thanks to Xu Xuan, and he had a great impression of the young man in front of him.

He couldn't help but say: "Ziming, Xu Xuan can protect Wuxian, the credit is not small, it is better to recruit him as the marching Sima, if he can still make meritorious contributions next, he can also take this opportunity to become an official!"

Looking at Xu Xuan's clothes, you know that he is from an ordinary background, if there is no one to support him, it will be difficult to step into the official career in the future, it just so happens that Gao Cheng was also born in Guangling, at this time, if you promote the township party, you can also accept a good talent.

Zhang Zhao's words are right in Gao Cheng's arms. He immediately smiled and said: "Zibu's words are reasonable, Baojian, now that Xuzhou is in chaos, are you willing to help me clean up the thieves?"

Xu Xuan had a trace of embarrassment on his face, and glanced at Chen Guan beside him, he came to Wuxian this time, originally wanted to take refuge in this acquaintance, and then find an opportunity to make meritorious contributions as a county official, but unexpectedly encountered the Yellow Turban thieves attacking the city, and even the county order was killed by a stray arrow, and in a critical situation, he got up and came out and commanded the county to defend the city.

Now Gao Cheng is soliciting, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Xu Xuan has been moved by this, but after seeing Chen Guan, he can only hold back his emotions, after all, he is still Chen Guan's doorman, if he leaves like this, it seems a little ruthless and unjust.

"Baojian, this is a good opportunity! you quickly agree!" A trace of jealousy flashed in Chen Guan's eyes, but on the surface he looked eager to think about his friend. These days, Xu Xuan, an ordinary person, can actually command the county Yong, which makes people see his extremely strong ability.

If he continued to stay in Wu County, wouldn't it mean that he, the county leader, was not as useful as a common man? Where was his face and authority? Or let Xu Xuan leave early, so that the two could still leave a friendship.

Xu Xuan's face changed slightly when he heard this, he seemed to notice something in his heart, his face changed for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "General Gao is so gracious, how dare you not be! Subordinate Xu Xuan pays a visit to the general!"

Gao Cheng laughed and said, "Okay! From now on, Xu Xuan will be the marching Sima of my army!"

The marching Sima is here in Gao Cheng, which is a false position, and he does not directly lead the troops, but is similar to a staff member, following him to give advice.

At this time, the weapons and armor left behind by the rout of the Yellow Turban soldiers were swept away by the army under Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng looked at the tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans who had been captured, these people were guarded by thousands of soldiers, kneeling on the ground like quails, some of the wounded Yellow Turban soldiers were wailing on the ground, and most of them were full of panic, not knowing what the officers and soldiers would do with them.

"Zibu, Baojian, Chen Xiancheng, what do you say about these prisoners?"

When Chen Guan heard this, he said without thinking: "Of course, all of them will be killed to set an example! I heard that when General Huangfu was in Yuzhou, he dealt with prisoners like this!"

As soon as he said this, Zhang Zhao and Xu Xuan's faces changed, and Pei Yuanshao, who was not far away, showed anger on his face, stared at Chen Guan deadly, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and did not jump out and kick him to death.

Although Zhang Zhao hated the Yellow Turban Rebellion for ravaging Pengcheng, he killed all these prisoners, and he couldn't be so ruthless. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and said, "Brother Ziming, in my opinion, it is better to send someone to guard these Yellow Turban captives, and wait until the Lamb Hill is breached, and then deal with it!"

Xu Xuan came from an ordinary background, had some sympathy for these Yellow Turban captives, and agreed with Zhang Zhao's opinion.

Gao Cheng nodded and said, "Then do it according to Zibu's wishes! By the way, Chen Xiancheng, from the north of Yongqiu to Wu County, what is the dangerous place?"

Chen Guan thought for a while and said: "The most dangerous place for Ningqiu to go north to Wuxian County is Baihu Mountain! This place is located in Wuxian County, and it is the only way to go north. ”

Zhang Zhao and Xu Xuan's hearts moved, and Gao Cheng asked this question, it seemed that he wanted to ambush the thieves in Baihu Mountain?

......

Baihu Mountain, where the mountains are densely forested, the withered yellow leaves fall to the ground, almost burying people. Below the mountains and forests is the official road. Gao Cheng led the army to the mountains and forests.

"Brother Ziming, are you going to set up an ambush here? With such a simple strategy, those Yellow Turban thieves are afraid that they will not be fooled, right? As long as they send someone to scout the horses, they can easily find us, I see that only one side of this White Tiger Mountain is close to the official road, and the mountain is gentle, not the dangerous place as Chen Guan said!" Zhang Zhao asked.

At this time, Gao Cheng took Jiang Qin, Pei Yuanshao, Xu Xuan and others to stand on the top of Baihu Mountain, looking down at the terrain. As Zhang Zhao said, Baihu Mountain is not a famous mountain and river, the height is only a few hundred zhang, and it is impossible to hide tens of thousands of troops at all.

When he heard this, he smiled and said: "The Yellow Turban thieves are just a group of rabble, and the simpler the strategy, the easier it will be! We didn't wait for the death in the White Tiger Mountain, but took the initiative to send people to Yongqiu to challenge! The Yellow Turban thieves were lured here by fraud, and when the time came, the ambush was exhausted, and the enemy could be broken outside the fortified city!"

Only then did Zhang Zhao understand in his heart that the tens of thousands of troops under their command were new troops that had just been formed for a short time, and if they were used to attack the city, they would definitely suffer heavy losses without siege experience. Only by finding a way to ambush the field can we give full play to our strengths.

Gao Cheng turned his head and set his eyes on Jiang Qin and Xu Xuan, "Jiang Qin, Xu Xuan, you lead five thousand soldiers and horses to Ningqiu to challenge the Yellow Turban Rebellion, only defeat and not victory, be sure to lead the main force of the Yellow Turban in Ningqiu to White Tiger Mountain!"

"Pei Yuanshao, I'll give you five thousand elites, hide and ambush outside the city, if the main force of the Yellow Turban of Ningqiu is lured out, you will take the opportunity to capture the city!"

According to historical records, the Yanzhou Yellow Turbans that Cao Cao dealt with when he started his career were adapted to local conditions, and he definitely did not fight hard with the main force of the Yellow Turbans, or raids or ambushes, all of which were simple strategies, and finally defeated 300,000 Yellow Turbans with thousands of troops, defeating the strong with the weak, and laying the foundation for his rise.

Before Cao Cao, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was brave and brave, and fought hard with hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, and was finally defeated and died.

The greatest advantage of the Yellow Turban army is that it has a large number of troops! As long as they fight in the front, they will drown the opponent with this crowd tactic. Gao Cheng understands this, and he will definitely not confront the other party head-on.
