"This matter is still a long-term plan, and the crusade against the Huns is particularly important at the moment, and everything else will be put aside for ......"

Zhou Cang is not a willow wave, but in two days in front of him, Xu Huang will lead the army north to join Zhou Cang, what the result of this battle is, everything is still unknown.

Judging from the current recruitment situation of the party, it is not very ideal, a total of 20,000 recruits have been recruited, plus veterans, a total of 40,000 people, and Xu Huang has only 15,000 soldiers, that is, Zhou Cang will use 50,000 to 200,000 this time, and most of the recruits are recruited, and the situation is not optimistic.

If you want to fall in love in this troubled era, it may be possible to dream again, good things still need to be grinded, and the 'virgin' life after Zhou Cang's crossing will take a few days to solve.

Now that the war is about to break out, if Zhou Cang wants to survive in this troubled world, he must fight with the sky, the earth, and people.

With such a large-scale build-up of the Huns, they would definitely not simply plunder and leave.

This is a disaster for the people of the world, but it is indeed an opportunity for the princes, an opportunity for the literati, a chance for loyal warriors, and an opportunity for the rise of foreign races.

Three days later, Xu Huang led the army to converge and reorganize.

In the winter of 190, Zhou Cang raised troops in Shangdang to defeat the Xiongnu.

There were 8,000 light cavalry, 30,000 infantry (including pikemen, sword and shield soldiers), and 8,000 archers, a total of 46,000 men.

Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Zhang Ren, Pei Yuanshao, Xue Baihu and others accompanied him.

Fang Yue and Li Ergou, who were still recovering, commanded an army of 9,000 to defend Shangdang County.

Before leaving, Zhou Cang prepared three letters to Cai Yan, Fu Zhu, and Cai Yong, whom he had never met.

Cai Yan stood on the upper floor of Shangdang City and looked at the backs of Zhou Cang and the others who were gradually moving away, his eyes were slightly red, he bit his lip, and Qianqianyu held a note in his hand, on which only one sentence was written.

"When I come back victorious, will you marry me?"

……

"Lord Qiqi, I have already reached the Jinyang realm in front, do you want to borrow from Jinyang Taishou?"

After five days, Zhou Cang's troops came to the Jinyang territory, and the vanguard general Xu Huang reported to Zhou Cang.

"Well, pass on my generals, tell the Jinyang army guarding the intersection where our army is going, if you dare to intercept it, kill me directly."

After braving the cold wind for several days to march, Zhou Cang had long been holding back the fire in his belly, and at this time, if someone dared to stop his march, Zhou Cang didn't mind using his fists to solve the problem.

"Yes, my lord."

Xu Huang responded and slapped his horse forward, leading three thousand cavalry to continue to explore the way.

"Lord, now that the weather has changed drastically, there will be heavy snow in the near future, and the heavy snow is blocking the way, and I am afraid that the supply of grain and grass will not be timely......"

Zhang Ren led 30,000 infantry to walk with Zhou Cang, and when he saw the cold wind howling at this moment, he said to Zhou Cang with a little worry.

Zhou Cang pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered.

"March overnight to reach the ...... of Yanmen County before the heavy snow comes"

"Yes, my lord"

"The lord has an order, speed up the march, and there must be no misunderstanding."

In the early morning of the fourth day, Zhou Cangjun marched 500 miles overnight and came to Yanmen, at this time Yanmen, almost an empty city, Yanmen Taishou arranged for the people to hide in the mountains soon after sending a letter for help, and left only 5,000 border troops stationed in Yanmen, these 5,000 people were used to attract the Xiongnu to attack the city, to buy time for their escape.

Yanmen Taishou sent a letter asking for help, but he didn't expect anyone to come to support, so he led his family to take refuge in the morning.

Zhou Cang directly took over Yanmen and ordered people to repair the city defense equipment and strengthen the city wall.

He also sent spies to inquire about the intelligence of the Hun army.

Zhou Cang ordered people to make a simple sand table for the terrain near Yanmen, and it was more comfortable to look at the sand table than to look at the map.

Mountains, rivers, canyons, forests, snow, etc. are visible at a glance on the sand table.

"Report ......"

From afar, I heard the sound of the Malay newspaper.

"Lord Qi, the vanguard of the Hun army has passed through Sangqian County with 50,000 troops, and it will arrive at Yanmen ...... in eight days."

"Do you know who is the commander-in-chief?"

"They all speak the Xiongnu language, but they don't know, please punish the lord!"

"You go down and rest first."

The language is not comprehensible, and this can't be blamed on the soldiers, Zhou Cang and others came to the sand table and marked the location of the Hun vanguard on the sand table.

"Do you have any plans to defeat the enemy?"

"My lord, the last general thinks that the Hun army has a large number of people and cannot fight head-on with it, so he thinks that it is best to ambush the enemy army, make full use of the terrain of two hundred miles from Sangqian to Yanmen, and block it layer by layer!" Zhang Ren was the first to express his views.

"Hmm." Zhou Cang nodded slightly, although Zhang Ren was new to the army, his military talent was gradually showing, and the only thing he lacked was actual combat experience.

"Are there any other opinions? Say it boldly, don't be afraid to make mistakes, everyone can speak their minds freely, one person counts the short, and everyone counts the long. ”

As a traverser, I know that the three stinky horsemakers are better than Zhuge Liang's words.

"My lord, the last general thinks that when we concentrate all our efforts and take down this group of Hun vanguard troops in one fell swoop, first, we can improve the morale of our army, and secondly, let the enemy feel that our army is quite numerous, and one attack at a time can certainly consume the enemy, but many problems such as our small army and cautious planning are also exposed to the enemy, and we should try to avoid the enemy from detecting the truth and reality, and killing with one blow will inevitably make the enemy frightened......"

Xu Huang put forward a different opinion, Zhou Cang felt that this method was good, the number of the Xiongnu army was more than four times that of Zhou Cang's army, if you want to win, you must first disintegrate the enemy's morale, otherwise the enemy can pile you to death by relying on crowd tactics alone.

"Gongming said this, which is very much in line with my heart." The five good generals really live up to their reputation.

"Where do you think the best place to ambush the enemy?"

Zhou Cang looked at the sand table and asked left and right.

The crowd frowned, and they couldn't find the best ambush location for a while.

"How's it here?"

Zhou Cang pointed to a canyon a hundred miles away from Yanmen.

This place is called Jiagukou.

The terrain at the mouth of the valley is steep, there are steep mountains on the left and right, there are few trees on the top of the mountain, and there is a lot of snow, so it is inconvenient to hide, but anyone with a little military knowledge will first send a sergeant to investigate before deciding whether to cross the canyon.

"The lord is not suitable to hide soldiers here? I'm afraid of ......" Xu Huang looked at the position Zhou Cang was pointing to, his brows furrowed, what he was most worried about at the moment was that Zhou Cang would mess around, so that the 40,000 soldiers might die.

"What about here?" Zhou Cang pointed to a place with dense woods.

"Lord, although this place is good, but the Hun army is estimated to be not far from here, maybe our army has not yet been ambushed, and the Hun army has already passed......" Although it has been said very tactfully, Zhou Cang still feels a little hurt his self-esteem.

"That's it......" Zhou Cang was slightly embarrassed, and touched his chin with his right hand like a small bamboo shoot.

"Is this the best place to ambush as long as it's not discovered?" Zhou Cang pointed to the mouth of the valley again.
