(Thank you for the monthly pass of the Fool's Love)

Gao Rou said: "It should be so, in fact, Pingyang County in addition to connecting Qianghu, but also bordering the Southern Xiongnu, the Southern Xiongnu, since the beginning of the Emperor Wu vigorously attacked the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu was divided into two parts, the north and the south moved westward, and the south to our court, so Emperor Wu moved the Southern Xiongnu Han Court to Meiji County, and put its people in the Hetao area (note: now Qingyang, Ningxia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, northern Hebei Province to Baotou, Inner Mongolia), and placed the Xiongnu Zhonglang general, the leader is stationed in its place, called guarding, in fact, it is supervised, It's just that now the court has collapsed, civil strife has been repeated, the Xiongnu Zhonglang will have been abolished, plus the northern Xianbei, the Qianghu power in the west has risen sharply, and the Southern Xiongnu often collude with the two clans to plunder the property and women of our dynasty, but the Southern Xiongnu have lived in the Hetao for a long time, and gradually evolved into a semi-arable land, semi-nomadic way of survival, the wild is not as good as Qianghu and Xianbei, at this time it is just for our army, as long as you send heavy troops to occupy Pingyang County, deter the Southern Xiongnu, and then send envoys to force it to attack Qianghu, if you don't obey, send an army to destroy the farmland of the Hetao pasture, and drive it out of the pass, The Southern Xiongnu will inevitably succumb, so that our army's 4,000 elite cavalry and the Huns will be harassed, and Qianghu will be defeated.

Cao Zhang was born in the Central Plains and didn't know much about the situation of foreign races, so when he heard Gao Rou say this, he could only ask Gongsun Xu: "What does Bo Kang think?" ”

Gongsun continued: "The Southern Xiongnu are like those mercenary merchants in the north, who deceive the good and fear the evil, they take advantage of it and only succumb to the side that can endanger their survival, so General Gao's plan should be feasible." ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's do it!" There are three captains in my Jinwu Temple with cavalry, a total of 6,000 people, including Zhao Zilong's cavalry battalion in Hanoi, Xiahou Zilin's Yue cavalry battalion in Hedong, and Bo Kang's Hu cavalry battalion you are about to lead is still in Xudu, these three battalions of knights have been trained for many years, and they are all equipped with good horses, and they can be used if you want to come, Wen Hui said that 4,000 fine cavalry can win, then I will mobilize 6,000 fine cavalry to fight with Qiang Hu. ”

Gongsun continued: "It is naturally a good thing to have more cavalry, and the so-called preparedness. ”

Cao Zhang then said to Chen Zhi: "Uncle Zhi, how much armor did our army take out from the Guanzhong arsenal when they attacked Huguan? ”

Chen Zhi replied: "In addition to the 28,000 armor pieces taken from the surrendering army, there are 60,000 halberds. ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said: "Equip these armor and weapons to General Zhang, and send a letter to Xu Du to Mr. Cheng Yu of the arsenal, and ask him to mobilize another 22,000 armor." ”

Chen Zhi replied: "No! ”

Cao Zhang said: "Uncle Zhi, when the time comes, I will bother you to take my personal guards and 5,000 people from the city defense army and Taihang Tiger to guard Huguan together." ”

Chen Zhi was immediately embarrassed when he heard this: "But this... The implication is naturally that he is worried that without him by his side, Cao Zhang's safety cannot be guaranteed.

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "It's okay, with Zhang Feiyan and Zhao Zilong, my safety will definitely be worry-free, not to mention that I am not a person who can be slaughtered." ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, he said: "My subordinates receive orders!" ”

Cao Zhang said: "In this case, please do your own thing!" And then they dispersed.

After that, Cao Chang sent a letter to Zhao Yun in Hanoi asking him to come to Huguan to stand by, and at the same time sent a letter to Xiahou Nan, the son of Xiahou Dun in Hedong County, asking him to wait for the general order in Anyi, the administrative office.

After doing these two things, Cao Zhang rode his horse out of the pot pass to Zhang Yan's construction of the Tucheng line, a year has passed, the Tucheng has been built, Zhang Yan and Taihang Hu's sergeants are all stationed in the Tucheng, because the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi "Green Seedling Law" implementation, the population has increased, and there are many more businessmen in the adjacent two counties, so now a military market has been formed in Tucheng, not only there are necessities of life, from time to time there will be businessmen to send women as prostitutes, so Zhang Yan and Taihang Hu's sergeants under the command of the life is still very nourishing.

Because Tucheng was after Huguan, the city gate was not closed, Cao Zhang walked in unimpeded, and the people patrolling the wall saluted from afar when they saw Cao Zhang, obviously because Cao Zhang's deeds in front of the battle and the high-ranking cadres had won the respect of this group of reckless.

These people have been thieves for many years, and they only know swords and fists, how can they know what loyalty and patriotism are, so after Cao Zhang's selection of high-ranking cadres, these people really admired Cao Zhanglai.

Cao Zhang asked a Montenegrin sergeant defending the city, "Where is General Zhang?" ”

The sergeant replied, "I was drinking with General Taihanghu in the room." ”

Cao Zhang nodded and walked to a big stone house in the middle of Tucheng by himself, Zhang Yan and Tai Xinghu were originally two opponents, but now it seems that they are getting along well.

When they walked into the stone house, they saw that only Zhang Yan and Tai Xinghu were drinking in the house, and they all got up and saluted after seeing Cao Zhang: "My lord! ”

Cao Zhang also saluted: "The two generals are Zhang's robes, but now the war has not stopped, and they have not been sealed, once they are sealed, the two ranks are no less than mine, so the word 'adult' is ashamed!" ”

The two laughed when they heard this, and Zhang Yan asked Cao Zhang to sit down after asking for another seat, "Did the adults come to have a drink with us today or do you have something else important?" ”

Cao Zhang said: "Under the orders of my father, our army is preparing to attack Pingyang County, and we need the help of 50,000 sons under the general's command. ”

Zhang Yan said: "Since it is the order of the general, it is naturally incumbent. ”

Cao Zhang said: "I have already started to deploy armor and weapons to General Zhang's subordinates, and I will set off immediately with all the armor." ”

Zhang Yan agreed, and Tai Xinghu on the side said, "My lord, when will you send me an errand?" In this earth city, the birds are going to be bored! ”

Cao Zhang smiled and said, "The general can tentatively go out of the customs and disturb the squires of the Shangdang counties." Our army doesn't want to get a point of what they grabbed, all of it belongs to the general and his subordinates. ”

Taihanghu was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "I don't know when I can start?" ”

Cao Chang replied, "Now!" Taixinghu was overjoyed when he heard this, and left with a thank you.

Cao Zhang shook his head secretly, this Taixinghu is really a thief who is difficult to change, when he gave Zhang Yan the general order just now, he didn't say anything, and when it came to matching Zhang Yan with military armor, he asked for an errand, obviously he also wanted to get some benefits, so Cao Zhang asked him to rob the Shangdang squire outside Huguan, this person was so impatient, it seems that he has been a thief under the Sima family for a long time, and he has raised a thief nature, this kind of person is really embarrassing, because he and the sergeants under his command lack basic self-restraint.

After seeing Taihang Tiger leave, Zhang Yan asked: "My lord, this Pingyang force is complicated, not only local forces, but also Qianghu, Southern Xiongnu and even Tuoba Xianbei forces, our army is still deadlocked with the Yuan family, is it wise to rashly attack Pingyang?" ”

Cao Zhang said: "My father expected that after the death of Yuan Shao, the sons will inevitably have infighting, unable to compete with our army, our army can reap the benefits of the fishermen after their infighting, now Guanzhong is fighting with the princes of Longxi, Pingyang is in the place where the three clans want to rush, and Yongzhou is adjacent, if our army does not take Pingyang, Yongzhou is like a big mouth behind it, let the three clans come and go, and the soldiers in Guanzhong are in full swing, unable to take care of it, do you have to sit back and watch the three clans captivate Guanzhong? At that time, the hearts of the people in Guanzhong will be lost, even if they win the battle against the princes of Longxi and win Guanzhong, I am afraid that it will not be of much use. ”

Zhang Yan suddenly realized: "It turns out that there is still this reason. ”

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "Okay, General Zhang is ready to prepare, we will take this Pingyang beautifully!" ”

Zhang Yan replied: "No! ”

After Cao Zhang said this, he took his leave and left, returned to the kettle gate, and stopped all preparations.

Five days later, Zhao Yun came to Huguan with two thousand cavalry, Cao Zhang let him enter the garrison, and at the same time called Gao Rou and Gongsun Xu out to introduce him, and when he saw Gongsun Xu, Zhao Yun was surprised: "Isn't this Gongsun Gongzi?" ”

Gongsun Xu smiled bitterly: "General Zhao, don't come unharmed!" ”

The old man was naturally embarrassed when he met, and after the introduction, Cao Zhang said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, Bo Kang will be the captain of Hu Qi of Jinwu Temple, and you two will be robes in the future, but you should be more close!" ”

Zhao Yun replied: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

Cao Zhang asked Gongsun Xu: "Bo Kang, do the cavalry of this tun cavalry battalion have a chance of winning against the Qianghu knights?" ”

Gongsun continued to reply: "The two armors are enough to resist the bow and arrows of the Qianghu knights, and the length of the halberd is also enough, with a fierce general like Zilong to lead, the Qianghu knight is naturally not an opponent!" ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said, "Wonderful! As soon as the Hu cavalry battalion and General Zhang's armor arrived, our army raised troops and headed straight for Pingyang. ”

Gao Rou said: "My lord, to enter Pingyang County, you must take Jiangyi, which is only two hundred miles away from Anyi, the seat of Hedong Zhi, and it is very convenient to transport grain and troops, and between the two rivers, the terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the first foothold in Hedong." ”

Cao Zhang asked, "Which force is controlling Jiangyi now?" ”

Gao Rou said: "The last general doesn't know, the people of Hedong County should be more aware of this matter, and they can ask again when they get to Anyi." ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said: "It's okay, the forces there are complicated, maybe it's Zhang San today, and Li Si tomorrow, everything will be understood when it comes to Anyi!" Rest well, recuperate, and the day of the army will soon come. ”

The trio agreed and retired.

After another ten days, the two thousand sergeants of the Hu cavalry battalion and the armor transported from the arsenal arrived at Huguan at the same time, Cao Zhang gave the armor to Zhang Yan, let his command equipment, and let Gongsun continue to lead the Hu cavalry battalion, this Gongsun continued to ride the horse is also very clever, compared to Zhao Yun Cao Chun Guo Yuan is not much better, but is a natural cavalry, and the art of riding and archery is even more exquisite, when the horse is running, it can still easily hit the target within 100 steps, and all the soldiers in the Hu cavalry camp were convinced at once, Cao Zhang was secretly happy in his eyes, and he was glad that he had won a general.

Three days after the armor was transported, Cao Zhang took 4,000 cavalry and Zhang Yan's 50,000 soldiers to Hedong, because there were three counties out of Huguan, and then Hanoi and Hedong were in the territory, and the military rations could be supplied at any time, so Cao Zhang did not bring three times as many people as the soldiers, but only brought 10,000 people with him.

In June of the seventh year of Jian'an, in early summer, Cao Zhang embarked on a journey again. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
