On the sixth day of the seventh month, Zhou Cang hurried to Guangzong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Meet the Lord!" Zhou Cang saluted immediately after seeing Gao Shun, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, thinking that something bad had happened, so that he was relieved of his military power.

"Alright, sit down. Are you still used to it in the last month or so? ”

"Habit, thank you for your concern."

"What do you think of the Yellow Turbans?"

"Lord, Zhou Cang is loyal to you, and he has no two hearts."

Gao Shun smiled: "Hehe, I guess you have misunderstood, our intelligence shows that Yuzhou Qu Shuai Bocai besieged the two armies of the imperial court in Changshe, but the official army will soon counterattack, I am worried that Bo will be defeated, so that the official army can quickly pacify Yuzhou and Yanzhou, which will definitely cause a large number of casualties, which I don't want to see." ”

Zhou Cang was a smart man, and hurriedly asked, "Lord, what do you command?" ”

"Hehe, don't worry, you listen to me first, according to our intelligence, Bocai has a grass company camp, and now the climate is dry and rainless, if the official army uses fire, then Bocai will be defeated, so I want to send you to Changshe to remind Bocai to strengthen the management of the camp, otherwise if the official army takes advantage of the dark night to attack with fire, the Yellow Turban people will be killed and injured countless times. Don't know if you'd like to? ”

Zhou Cang thought about it for a while and said: "Lord, I have only had a one-sided relationship with Bo Cai, and I am not familiar with each other, if Pei Yuanshao goes, the effect will be better; He turned out to be the sect leader's guard, and he saw many people, and he was very familiar with the major commanders. ”

Gao Shun explained: "The road ahead is full of dangers, Pei Yuanshao's martial arts are not as good as yours, and I heard that you are walking fast, I don't know if it's true?" ”

"Hehe, it's not that fast, you can walk more than 100 miles at most every day."

"Haha, great talent, this speed is already very remarkable." Gao Shun praised: "Continue to carry forward your strengths in the future, this time you can't ride your current horse, you have to change to an ordinary horse, otherwise it will attract attention." ”

"Yes, my lord, I'll dress up." Since Gao Shun said so, Zhou Cang did not shirk.

Gao Shun also talked in detail about the tactics that the officials and soldiers of Changshe might use, the most important one was to avoid arson by the officers and soldiers, and secondly, it was suggested that they dig a few trenches around the city of Changshe, plant more antlers, build more horses and other defenses, and completely besiege the officials and troops in the city; It is best to instruct Zhou Cang, if there is any difficulty in Bocai, although it should be done, as long as it is not too much, help if you can; If the amount required is too large, you can trade it.

After Zhou Cang fully understood, he withdrew, prepared, and set off in the evening.

After coming out, Zhou Cang was overjoyed, he still had a deep affection for the Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban Army were poor peasants who could not survive, worthy of pity, if it could reduce the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army, he was very willing to do it.

Zhou Cang was very anxious, and he was afraid that he would be too late, which would lead to danger to the Yellow Turban Army; After Wei County and Dong County, through Chenliu, to Yingchuan County Changshe, a distance of more than 800 miles, it took a total of 4 days to arrive.

When he arrived at Changshe, he said that he was visiting Qu Shuai Bocai, and the Yellow Turban Army under him did not embarrass him.

Bocai was very surprised and very happy about Zhou Cang's arrival.

"Meet Qu Shuai!"

"Haha, you're the one next to the general, you don't have to be like this, please take a seat."

"Xie Qushuai."

"How did the great virtuous teacher and the general of the earth pass away?"

Zhou Cang told Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao about the trickery of the officials and soldiers by mistake, and now the officials and troops are besieging Guangzong City, but there are few officers and soldiers, so they can only block the West Gate, and they can't do anything about the other three gates, which does not affect the entry and exit, and fools Bocai over.

"What is the matter with the dust and dust coming?"

Zhou Cang said: "The general learned about the situation on your side and ordered me to save your life." ”

Bo Cai was furious, "If that's the case, don't blame Ben Qushuai for not remembering the old feelings." ”

Zhou Cang now watches several soldiers under him train every day, and he has also learned a lot of things, plus when he came Gao Shun gave detailed instructions, he had some information in his heart, so he said with a smile: "Qu Shuai, don't be angry, follow me to the surrounding camps to have a look, if what I say is wrong at that time, Zhou Cang admits punishment and admits punishment." ”

Bo Cai felt that Zhou Cang would not come so far just to make him angry, there must be something to say yet, so he followed Zhou Cang out of the camp angrily.

Walking around the camp, there are straw huts all over the place, and the ground in the grass huts is covered with straw or hay, which blocks the sun during the day and sleeps in them at night, and the grass huts are very close to each other, all around, irregular.

Standing in the narrow passage between the grass sheds, Zhou Cang smiled and said, "Qu Shuai, have you found anything?" ”

"I go back and forth a few times a day, what do I find?"

Zhou Cang said solemnly: "Qu Shuai, the grass sheds here are connected, the distribution is messy, and the weather is dry and dry, if I am an official army, I will definitely choose to attack by fire, the grass sheds are dense, which will definitely lead to the rapid spread of fire; If the officers and soldiers shoot rockets from all sides, dare to ask how many people can escape the fire in time? If I were an official soldier, I would have arranged the army on the road that Qu Shuai had to pass before releasing the rockets, and when Qu Shuai led people to escape from the sea of fire and intercept them, how many people would have been able to escape? ”

To be able to do one side of the Qu Shuai, and successively defeat Runan Taishou Zhao Qian and the right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun, and now besiege the two major Zhonglang generals of the imperial court, there must be some outstanding ability.

used to be limited by the field of vision, but now as soon as Zhou Cang reminded him, he suddenly realized that Bo Cai saluted Zhou Cang, "Thank you, Brother Zhou, otherwise it will be dangerous." ”

didn't care about other things, Bo Cai immediately ordered someone to invite all the little marshals to discuss the matter.

With the assistance of Zhou Cang, part of the straw shed was demolished to make way for a wide avenue, and the place was changed and some sheds were rebuilt.

Subsequently, according to Gao Shun's instructions, Zhou Cang asked Bocai to dig three wide trenches around Changshe, insert a large number of antlers and sharp trees in them, and divert the water of the Yinghe River into the trenches, which greatly increased the defensive effect.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun did not dare to go out of the city to fight, and could only watch the siege at the head of the city.

Bocai was overjoyed, not only eliminated hidden dangers, strengthened defenses, but also firmly besieged the officers and troops.

Subsequently, Zhou Cang offered to help Bo Cai train his troops, but Bo Cai didn't believe that Zhou Cang had this ability, so he asked him to train his guards first, and then make a decision after seeing the effect.

Zhou Cang did not shirk either, and according to the model of the Youzhou Army, he set up sword and shield soldiers, spearmen and archers.

Let the carpenter immediately rush to make a large shield, collect some spears, line up separately, keep in formation, and advance and retreat together.

After three days of training, there is a good look, but there is a lack of archers, otherwise the effect will be better.

Bocai is overjoyed, and the wooden shield can be made by a carpenter; A spear is more material-efficient than a broadsword, and a blacksmith can craft it; What is lacking is archers, and although some bows and arrows have been captured, the training of archers is more troublesome.

Zhou Cang asks to be able to shoot out, if you have a lot of strength, there are many people, you don't need to ask for how accurate you are, just throw them all.

Bocai was overjoyed, and he was busy selecting hunters and powerful men who knew bows and arrows from the whole army, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness of his own soldiers, and asked this training model to be popularized throughout the army.

Tens of thousands of spears are erected, like a forest of spears, which makes people feel frightened without a fight; In addition, there is a large vertical shield in front of the protection, and the sense of security of the rear soldiers is greatly increased; The archers at the back strengthened the attack.

Bocai also sent people to Peng Tuo's place to teach the method of military training, which made the strength of the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army stronger and stronger.

On July 28, Zhou Cang returned, and Bo Cai was reluctant, hoping that Zhou Cang would stay and help him train his troops.

Zhou Cang knew that the few strokes he had just learned were now used up, and they would be exposed after a long time, so he politely declined.

The return journey was slow, and in early August, Zhou Cang returned to the Guangzong military camp.

Since Bocai now has sufficient supplies, he has no matter of asking Bocai for assistance.
