On the second day, Zhang He got up early and was surprised to see Zhou Cang leaning outside Jiang Sheng's tent. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info woke up Zhou Cang and started talking in a low voice.

"Junyi, Yuanfu, but the two of you?" Jiang Sheng said.

Zhang He and Zhou Cang came into the account, and when they saw Jiang Sheng's dark eyes, they hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, it's just a matter of sleeping less." Jiang Sheng straightened his clothes and armor and strode out.

In the open space, the veterans were organizing a warm-up, and dozens of soldiers were seen at the camp gate carrying a few freshly killed pigs and sending them over, Deng Mao left yesterday, which was ordered by Jiang Sheng to purchase ingredients and replenish them for the training camp.

Although Jiang Sheng learned that Zhou Cang in history was loyal to the two masters, but that was to Guan Yu, Jiang Sheng did not have this self-confidence, although he did not doubt the use of people, and did not use suspicious people, but Jiang Sheng did not dare to hold it up, and the current power was just budding and could not withstand setbacks.

Jiang Sheng decided to let Deng Mao assist Zhang He, after all, Deng Mao was older and had been a general, Zhang He and Deng Mao had cooperated closely in many battles, and their personal relationship was also good, which was trustworthy.

Zhou Cang was very happy to follow Jiang Sheng to the north, and after taking refuge in Jiang Sheng, he was anxious to make meritorious service to the master. Yu Ban had a steady temperament, and Jiang Sheng made him his deputy, responsible for the daily management of the troops, while Zhou Cang served as the vanguard.

Huangfu Song's army went north, and a small group of yellow turbans fled along the way, until Puyang, Dongjun, and the official army rarely suffered defeats. Bu Si, the leader of the Yellow Turbans of Dongjun, was based in Cangting (now YG County), and was firmly entrenched in the northern part of Dongjun, and the officials and troops of Dongjun failed to clear and suppress them many times.

During the period when Huangfu Song's army was resting and replenishing in Puyang, Jiang Sheng's cavalry had also arrived in Puyang day and night, and Huangfu Song greatly appreciated Jiang Sheng's speed.

"The general has won the award, you are the one who governs the army well, and you use your life as a soldier."

"Haha, Zicheng is getting better and better at talking. To get back to the point, for the Bu Si thief army, what is Zicheng's strategy to break the enemy? ”

"General, Cangting is not far from the river, if the Yellow Turban Army crosses the river, it will definitely echo the north and south of Zhangjiao, and our army will face great pressure at that time."

"You mean to annihilate the enemy on the south bank of the river?"

"No, turn the tiger away from the mountain, and then attack halfway!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Now the Yellow Turban stronghold on the north bank of the river is only Dongwuyang (now belongs to Z County, if the Cangting Yellow Turban echoes with the Jizhou Yellow Turban, it must control Dongwuyang, if our army storms Dongwuyang, then Cangting will be its backup, and we will attack the place where it must be saved. When the Cangting Yellow Turban crosses the river, our army will attack with fireboats from the upstream, and the Yellow Turban will be defeated! ”

"What a tiger from the mountain, half-crossing and attacking! However, Cangting Yellow Turban crossed the river against the current, which was very unfavorable, Bu Si would not see this, if he didn't save it, wouldn't this plan fail? ”

"Regardless of whether Bu Si saves or not, our army will recapture Dongwuyang. General, please see," Jiang Sheng walked to the map, pointed to the location of Dongwuyang, and said: "Dongwuyang is located north of the river and west of Cangting, it is extremely advantageous to attack Cangting from Dongwuyang, and Bu Si is not a fool, it is impossible to watch Dongwuyang fall into my hands, so he will definitely cross the river to rescue." ”

"That's a brilliant plan! Bu Si's main force was buried in the river, and Cangting could be broken soon! Just wait for Dongwuyang to win, and our army will go straight to Cangting, killing two birds with one stone! ”

"You don't have to wait for Dongwuyang to win, when the Bu Si army crosses the river halfway, it will be the time to recover Cangting."

"This move is inevitably a big deal, the strength of the Dongwuyang Yellow Turban and Bu Si Army is not weak, if our army is divided into two routes, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous."

"Cangting hasn't rained for three months, and if there is a fire, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

"Haha-"

"Haha-"

There was a burst of laughter from the big tent of Huangfu Song's Chinese army, and it seemed that this battle would be another great victory.

Huangfu Song's troops were divided into two routes, the North Route Army was the main force of the official army, led by Huangfu Song to cross the river, and then moved along the south bank of the river to the direction of Dongwuyang, and the other road was 3,000 cavalry, led by Jiang Sheng to move along the south bank of the river.

The main force of Huangfu Song's army was composed of infantry, chariots, baggage and other armies, and the marching speed was slow. In order to avoid startling the grass and ensuring the cooperation of the north and south lines, Jiang Sheng led the cavalry to Dongpingguo, and the direction of travel was farther and farther away from Cangting.

Bu Si's scouts had already discovered the whereabouts of the official army and reported to Bu Si's middle army.

Bu Si said: "Huangfu Song has a good calculation, and wants to capture Dongwuyang first and cut off the connection between our department and Jizhou. Hmph, if the march is fast, or there is a possibility of success, now the march is like a turtle, and by the time we reach Dongwuyang, our army has already crossed the river and is ready to fight. ”

"Marshal, if our army crosses the river to rescue, Cangting may be lost."

"Huangfu Song only left 3,000 cavalry, trying in vain to break my Cangting, it's just wishful thinking! He didn't want to fight Cangting at all, he wanted to occupy Dongwuyang and block our troops on the south bank, and then go down the river, when the time comes, our troops will be difficult to stop, and they will definitely be defeated. Our department left three percent of the soldiers and horses to guard the Cangting, so that they could be worry-free. At the current speed, if Huangfu Song transfers troops to fight Cangting, it will be too late for our troops to retreat. ”

Bu Si ordered the deputy general to lead the main force to prepare for crossing the river in advance, trying to complete the tactical deployment of Dongwu Yang before the army of Huangfu Song arrived at Dongwuyang. The Chinese army troops were commanded by Bu Si to defend Cangting.

As a pioneer, Zhou Cang had already secretly monitored the movements of the Yellow Turban in Cangting, and immediately reported it to Jiang Sheng after discovering that the Yellow Turban was preparing to cross the river.

Jiang Shengbu was stationed in the southwest of Shouzhang County sixty miles, after getting the news that the Yellow Turban was preparing to cross the river, Jiang Sheng ordered Yu Ban to lead 2,000 horsemen to the north of Cangting in the starry night, and made a posture of attacking Cangting, and ordered Zhou Cang to lead 200 cavalry to attack the Bu Si army day and night, and then led hundreds of cavalry to Dongping and Jibei to persuade Taishou (the position is equivalent to the county Taishou) to recruit township brave volunteers to cooperate with the battle.

Zhou Cang divided the vanguard cavalry into three groups, rotated every four hours, and harassed the Yellow Turban Army day and night.

Three days later, Yu Ban led his army to camp twenty miles south of Cangting to rest. The volunteers in Jibei and Dongping have also marched towards Cangting.

Bu Si was surprised when he got the news, where did this Huangfu Song get so many troops? It seems that he has a lot of appetite, and he wants to stew Dongwuyang and Cangting in one pot, so he ordered to terminate the river crossing plan and make relevant preparations for the defensive battle of Cangting.

A spy reported the situation on the south bank of the river, and Huangfu Song was suspicious in his heart, Jiang Sheng's original goal was to let Bu Si's army cross the river, but now he has created such a momentum, it is clear that he doesn't want Bu Si to support Dongwuyang, what the hell is this kid doing? Did he want the official army to successfully take Dongwuyang, and then attack Cangting in the north and south? Aren't the dozens of fireboats upstream busy?

If Bu Si crosses the river in advance, then Huangfu Song is facing the joint defense of the two Yellow Turban Army, the outcome is not yet known, the main force of the official army is contained, even if it is meaningless to take Cangting.

Jiang Sheng did not pass any news to Huangfu Song, although Huang Fu Song had doubts, but the current situation is a great opportunity for the main force of the official army, there are no reinforcements in Dongwuyang, it is not a problem at all in front of the official army, Huangfu Song decided to take Dongwuyang first.
