Receiving the plain silk presented by the messenger, Cao Zhang unfolded it to watch, Cao Cao's familiar font came into view, usually Cao Cao's orders were written by Cheng Yu, and now he personally wrote to Cao Zhang, seeing that Cao Cao is now in a good mood, it can also be understood that Cao Cao attaches great importance to this general.

Cao Cao's general order was concise and concise, allowing Cao Zhang to continue to suppress Huguan, and Cao's army would also return to the Liyang garrison from Yecheng, preparing to stalemate with Yuan Shao in Hebei, and Cao Cao said in his heart that he would send two Taishou to Hedong County and Hanoi County to cooperate with Cao Zhang to control the two counties, open up the road of transportation, and let Cao Zhang deliberately suppress Huguan wholeheartedly.

This general order completely shows Cao Cao's intentions, that is, to take root in Hebei, and Yuan Shao stalemate, Yuan Shao lost two major battles in a row, and the Cao army has the absolute upper hand under the elimination of the other, as long as a steady stream of soldiers from the Central Plains encroaches on the territory of the Yuan army, so that the Yuan army can not echo everywhere, and the Yuan army will be slowly dragged down, and Cao Cao's task to Cao Zhang is to suppress and merge the state high-level cadres, so that he can not assist Yuan Shao in soldiers and military rations.

Cao Zhang knew that this was a protracted war, after all, the Yuan army sat on four states, a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, so Cao Zhang did not dare to slack off, after receiving this general order, he immediately sent a letter to Zhao Yun, Du Xian, Zhuge Dan in Xudu to ask them to mobilize Changshui, Tun Cai, and shoot three battalions to Heyang County in Hanoi, and let Li Jin, Xiahou Nan, and Yang Yan drop the infantry, Yue Cai, and the three battalions of Huben to Hedong Zhisu Anyi on standby, even if they need to practice, they can be drilled on the ground, and it is impossible to control the two counties without soldiers.

Cao Cao did not specify who would come to the two counties to be the Taishou, but since he said that he wanted to cooperate with Cao Zhang, Bacheng was an acquaintance who had cooperated with Cao Zhang, and there were not many people who had cooperated with Cao Zhang, just a few, so Cao Zhang also had a rough idea in his heart, and he was not too worried about this.

After the order to transfer troops was transmitted, Cao Zhang immediately led hundreds of city defense troops to Huguan to meet Zhang Yan, Taihanghu, Chen Dao, Xiahou Heng and Wang Ling and others.

Now the three counties south of Huguan are all under the control of Zhang Yan, the supply is quite convenient, Cao Zhang took the sergeant all the way to the front of the camp under Huguan, because there are three forces, so the camp banner under Huguan is not the same, in the middle is Cao Zhang's Jinwu banner, and the left is the swallow flag, and the right is a tiger down the mountain flag.

When passing through the county seat, the leaders of the three parties knew the news that Cao Zhang's troops were coming, so they all went out of the camp to greet them, and Cao Zhang immediately let them enter the big tent of the Chinese army after seeing everyone, and at this time there were Xiahou Heng, Wang Ling, Chen Dao, Zhang Yan, Taihang Hu and Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang first told them Cao Cao's general order, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the general gave us the general order to suppress Gao Gan, since it is suppression, it is a long-term battle, the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi and the three counties of Shangdang are the future transportation routes of our army, and there is no room for loss, so we have to send troops back to defend these places, before that, I want to know the situation of Gao Gan." ”

Zhang Yan heard the words and said: "Gao Gan was defeated by the adults in Jizhou and then retreated to the state, but found that the three counties were occupied, so from the mountain road back to Huguan, but was ambushed by my subordinate Erlang, but Gao Gan's command is well-equipped, there are many soldiers, so there is no way to stop them, out of the mountains and forests after the Huguan internal rescue troops, we abide by the orders of the adults, did not fight hard to let it go, Rao is so, Gao Gan is also a heavy loss, all the way back to the army, not only lack of food, but also has been hit, so the number of people who returned to Huguan is less than three thousand, Even if he mobilizes the men and horses of the counties of the state, it will take a lot of time, and with his current soldiers, there is no chance of winning against our army, and our army can take this opportunity to build an earthen city under Huguan to block the road for Gao Gan to send troops. ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said: "What General Zhang said is reasonable, since this is the case, let's start building Tucheng, I have mobilized 6,000 soldiers from Xudu to Hedong and Hanoi counties, Yanyun, you will take 2,000 people back to Heyang now, tell the Shanjia to fully cooperate with our army through Hedong, Boquan, you take 5,000 people to Anyi, and tell Hedong to defend Wangyi and cooperate with our army through Hedong." ”

Wang Ling and Xiahou Heng promised: "Nuo~" After speaking, they left to carry out the order.

Then Cao Zhang said to Zhang Yan: "General Zhang, the construction of the earth city will be handed over to you, and the remaining Minfu generals under my command can be used as much as possible." ”

Zhang Yan replied: "Yes"

Cao Zhang then said to Taihang Hu: "General Taihang Hu, please stick to this formation and stand by." ”

Taihang Tiger replied: "Command!" ”

Cao Zhang said to Chen Zhi again: "Uncle Zhi, when you build, you have to take your sons and daughters to watch closely, and don't let the high-ranking cadres lead the troops to raid and destroy our plan to build the earth city." ”

Chen Zhi replied: "No! ”

After Cao Zhang's assignment was completed, he said: "In this case, you will each do your own thing~" After the three of them left, Cao Zhang wrote a letter to his own father-in-law Ren Jun, asking him to send an official who is good at Tuntian affairs to himself.

The next day, Zhang Yan began to let the people and his subordinate sons cut down wood and dig the soil, preparing to build the earth city before the company camp, while Chen Zhi took more than 4,000 civilian soldiers to guard, and there was no one else except the guards on the wall, and the door was closed.

Two days later, Cao Zhang received two letters, but they were not written by Ren Jun, but by his two acquaintances, one was Man's favorite, who stayed in Runan as a lieutenant after he and his own transportation to Runan, and the other was Chen Qun, who respected his theory of the three ethnic groups, and the content of the two letters was similar.

It turned out that Man Chong was appointed as the Taishou of Hedong, and Chen Qun was appointed as the Taishou of Hanoi, and at the same time as receiving the appointment, he also received Cao Cao's general order, asking them to fully cooperate with Cao Zhang's two counties, and obey Cao Zhang's moderation before Cao Cao issued a new general order, so now they sent a letter to Cao Zhang asking where the work should begin.

It's just that there is one more piece of content in the full favor letter. That is to say, now that Hedong Taishou Wang Yi has been played as the history of Si Li's assassination, he wants to return to Xu Du to report on his work, and he euphemistically expressed in his heart that Cao Zhang would come to inform this Hedong Taishou who was secretly descending, after all, the favored official is not as big as Cao Zhang, and Duoer is not as big as Cao Zhang, and Cao Chang will be convinced by Cao Zhang, plus Wang Yi and Cao Zhang have also seen it in Anyi, so it is naturally more convenient to speak.

Cao Zhang smiled slightly after reading the letter, he knew that Man Chong was afraid that he would be parachuted into Hedong and it would be difficult to control Wang Yi's old past, so let Cao Zhang go out to deter them, after all, Cao Zhang can be regarded as a megatron now, and he is in the limelight, and he is more deterrent than full pet, even if Wang Yi is not satisfied with Cao Zhang's replacement, it is much more effective than full favor.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhang wrote back to the two of them, asking them to come to Huguan to see him first, and then wait for the captains under his command to enter the two counties before taking up their posts, they have no strength, and they don't speak loudly, so why bother to entangle with the local officials now, and Cao Zhang has other important things to tell the two.
