Located on the south bank of the Yellow River, Baimajin is one of the largest ports from north to south, especially in wartime, the geographical location of Baimajin is particularly important.

Not long ago, Baimajin was still the territory of the Yellow Turban Army, the Central Plains was in turmoil, the people flocked to the north to survive, every family crossed the river, and had to pay a lot of money, so Baimajin's oil and water were very sufficient, but unfortunately, it was not valued by the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai of Yanzhou, and there were not many soldiers and horses stationed, when Gao Shun led 150,000 sailors to cover the sky and descend on the Yellow River not far from Baimajin, the Yellow Turban soldiers stationed in the Yellow River saw the black dragon flag of Northern Xinjiang on the bow of the ship, and were almost frightened to the point of dissipation, let alone resist, and did not even dare to take a look at it, They all fled.

Gao Shun originally thought that he would have to fight a hard battle to capture Baimajin, but he didn't expect it to be so simple, so simple that Gao Shun couldn't smile bitterly, but why not capture Baimajin without spending a single soldier? After all, the lives of soldiers are also precious, and Gao Shun doesn't want to waste one.

It is logical that Gao Shun's 150,000 sailors entered Baimajin except for 20,000 or 30,000 sailors who were responsible for guarding the warships, and took the county seat of Baima not far from Baimajin as soon as possible, and temporarily set Baima County as the first base for the southern expedition to the Central Plains.

Why leave sailors on a warship? In fact, it's very simple, these warships still have to pick up Liu Tai's army that is about to arrive on the north shore, after all, Liu Tai's army is all cavalry and foot soldiers, is it difficult to ask Liu Tai to build ships temporarily? Therefore, Gao Shun left the sailors, closely watched the movements in the north, and responded to Liu Tai's middle route army to the south at any time.

After occupying the county seat of Baima, Gao Shun immediately connected with the local dragon and tiger group in charge of intelligence, and learned that the situation in the Central Plains has further deteriorated, especially under the Tiger Prison Pass in the northwest of Xingyang County, almost all over the mountains and fields are the figure of the Yellow Turban Army, the number is as many as 15.6 million, and what is even more terrifying is that Jia Long, the captain of the Dajin Dynasty, commanding 600,000 Yangzhou Yellow Turban Army, has entered the south of Yanzhou, and at most it can converge with the Central Plains Yellow Turban Army under the Tiger Prison Pass, and the situation has been eroded to the point of being speechless!

"Fuyi, now that the Yellow River is flooding, His Highness will not be able to go south in a short time, so we should lead the army into Rongyang through Jingxian County first, and go to the Tiger Prison Pass to rescue Cao Ying." After reading the intelligence documents that Gao Shun gave him, Xun You, the military advisor of the army, handed over the documents to Chen Gong, and said to Gao Shun.

"Enter Rongyang through Jing County? Easier said than done! Gao Shun turned his head to look at the military map, frowned and said: "Now Jingxian is already the place of the wind and waves, the Yellow Turban Army of 200,000 or 300,000 people attacked Jingxian at night, if our army moves, it will definitely be discovered by the Yellow Turban Army under the Tiger Prison, if the Yellow Turban Army turns around and attacks our army, our army has no danger to defend?" Is it possible to fight to the death with millions of Yellow Turban Army? ”

"This" Xun You was also anxious for a while, after hearing Gao Shun's explanation, he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Even if you don't rescue the Tiger Prison Pass, you have to rescue Jing County, if Jing County is broken, the back road of the Tiger Prison Pass will be cut off, and it will be impossible to hold it under the front and back attacks, is it possible for us to sit and watch the friendly army fight to the death?" ”

"Gongda" Chen Gong frowned and shouted, "The situation of our army is not very good now, if the army is subordinate, Jia Long's 600,000 army behind may form a flanking attack with the Yellow Turban Army under the Tiger Prison Pass at any time, and then not only will Cao Ying in the Tiger Prison Pass not only be unable to save Cao Ying, but also the hundreds of thousands of troops that His Highness has worked hard to train will be compensated, you should know the severity!" ”

"Hey" Xun Yu sighed deeply, walked back to the seat with a helpless face and said: "Since we can't enter the military division, can't it be that we are sitting here and watching Luoyang fall by the Yellow Turban Army?" ”

Gao Shun and Chen Gong looked at each other and didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.

"It's not impossible." Chen Gong gritted his teeth and said with a little embarrassment: "If General Huang can go south and enter Chenggao in time, there is hope to bypass the Yellow Turban Army and enter the Tiger Prison Pass, General Huang has 100,000 elite foot soldiers in his hands, stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, there is no problem at all." ”

The corners of Xun You's mouth cracked, and he pulled his mouth depressedly, didn't Xun You know Huang Zhong? But Huang Zhong's situation is similar to Liu Tai, he was trapped on the north bank by the flood, and he was prepared for everything in this southern expedition, but he didn't expect that there would be a monstrous flood to cut off the road to the south.

"Although General Huang has enough ability, he is trapped on the north shore, and if he wants to rescue Tiger Pass, it will take at least ten days, how can he rescue him in time?" A little depressed, but Xun You still replied loudly.

"It won't take more than ten days" Gao Shun shook his head, looked at the map and said: "Now that the flood has flowed downstream, it has already passed the area of Hanoi County on the north bank, at most one or two days, Hansheng's 300,000 troops can cross the Yellow River and enter Chenggao, Chenggao is only a day's journey away from the Tiger Prison Pass, as long as Cao Ying can hold on for another three days, the reinforcements will arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass!" ”

"Is what Fuyi said true?" Xun You frowned, and couldn't help but stand up and say, in fact, what Xun You is really worried about is Luoyang, as long as the Tiger Pass is kept, the Central Plains Yellow Turban Army will not be able to meet with the Bocai division under Luoyang City, and if it can't meet the division, the armies from all walks of life will have time to rescue!

"Seriously!" Gao Shun nodded, and then said: "Your Highness wants us to go south, the most important strategic policy is to take the opportunity to send the people of the Central Plains to the north, of course, we have to drag Jia Long's hind legs, and we can't let Jia Long smoothly join the Yellow Turban Army in Tiger Prison, what are the opinions of the two military advisors, can they teach Shun?" ”

"Although there is enough food in the north for the time being, after the recovery of Jizhou, it is already a little tight, if the people of the Central Plains are moved to the north, where will His Highness have enough food for the people to eat?" Tang Cheng, the deputy general on the side, couldn't help but ask out loud, although Gao Shun, Xun You, and Chen Gong discussed military secrets, but Tang Cheng and Shui Yin were both commanders of the regular army in Northern Xinjiang and were qualified to participate in the deliberations, so it was not surprising that Tang Cheng was present.

"Grain? Gao Shun couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Highness will naturally have a way, since it is His Highness's order, we can only do it, don't forget, we are soldiers, Your Highness said that the purpose of a soldier is to obey!" ”

"No!!" Tang Cheng and Mercury looked at each other, but after seeing Gao Shun's solemn look, they could only sing in response, since Gao Shun was so confident, I think Liu Tai should have solved the food problem, right?

"Fuyi, if you want to drag Jia Long back, it's not difficult, after all, Jia Long has an army of 600,000, and there are many loopholes in logistics and other aspects, but these have Zhu Zhonglang to do, we don't need to waste time on this, now Jia Long's army has just passed the county seat of Jiyin County, and will soon enter Kaocheng, our army can set up an ambush in Xiaohuang County, where Jia Long's army must enter Sili, Xiaohuang County's terrain is relatively low, and there is a monstrous Yellow River behind, as long as you build an embankment in advance to gather water, the water of the Yellow River will be diverted to Xiaohuang County, and when Jia Long's army comes, will be able to fight a miracle. After Xun Yu waited for Tang Cheng and Mercury to speak, he touched his short beard and said with a gloomy face.

"Gongda, won't the people of Xiaohuang County suffer in this way?" Chen Gong frowned, and a look of concealment flashed in his eyes, although Chen Gong was also eager to win, but he didn't want to use thousands of people as bargaining chips.

"Huh?" Xun You paused, and said out loud without thinking: "Xiaohuang County has been ravaged by the Yellow Turban, and the people in it are only a few hundred, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, even if there is no flood, they will not live long in this troubled era, for the sake of the overall situation, I suggest that these people be abandoned." ”

Gao Shun glanced at Xun You, and then at Chen Gong, a little embarrassed, after all, both of them are military advisors with the army, and Xun You has come up with a good way, but at the expense of hundreds of people, isn't it a bit cruel?

"From General Ben's point of view, how about moving the people to other counties first?" Thinking of Liu Tai's policy of valuing the people, Gao Shun couldn't help but say out loud with a little embarrassment.

Can't Gao Shun see that only when the people stay in Xiaohuang County, the whole trap looks more perfect? But Gao Shun couldn't bear it, because Gao Shun also climbed to this position step by step from the ordinary people, if Gao Shun was asked to kill those unarmed people with his own hands, he couldn't say anything.

Xun You's face turned cold, Xun You didn't believe that Gao Shun couldn't see it, but obviously Gao Shun didn't agree with his opinion, glanced at Chen Gong, and then said in a sullen voice: "Gongtai and Fu Yi have ever thought about it?" Sacrificing these hundreds of people, you can make Jia Long's department suffer an unprecedented heavy blow, and without these people, it is very likely that Jia Long will be noticed, Jia Long is extraordinary, in Yangzhou many times with Zhu Zhonglang in the formation of troops, and even the famous general Zhu Zhonglang suppressed to death, if it is not Zhang Bao incompetent, I am afraid that Zhu Zhonglang's current situation is not good, such a wise man, if there is no perfect layout, it is very likely to fall into our army in passivity, and then the battlefield will be lost, how can you explain to His Royal Highness? ”

Jia Long's information and abilities are absolutely confidential in Northern Xinjiang, but for Xun You and others, they are just ordinary documents, after all, Gao Shun and Xun You and others are not comparable to ordinary people, and they can be regarded as the real core figures in Northern Xinjiang.

"Gongda's words are serious, although Jia Long is capable, but there are many parties within the Yellow Turban Army, it is impossible for Jia Long to completely control it, and the organizations of the Yellow Turban Army at all levels are extremely chaotic, even if the situation in Xiao Huangcheng is weird, it will not reach Jia Long's ears for a while?" Chen Gong's brows jumped, although he had already agreed with Xun You's words in his heart, he still couldn't help but defend himself.

Chen Gong and Xun You are different, or the views between the two sides are different, although Chen Gong can see the situation clearly, but his heart is too soft, and sometimes it is easy to make mistakes, while Xun You is ruthless, decisive, and definitely not drags mud and water, otherwise he will not be praised as the "mastermind" by Cao Ying, in fact, the ability of the two people is almost the same, just because Chen Gong lacks a little decisiveness.

"If you don't think about all the possibilities, what if you are discovered by Jia Long when the time comes?" Xun You smiled, knowing that Chen Gong had actually agreed in his heart, but he just couldn't bear it.

"Actually, we don't want to extinguish the hope of the people in Xiaohuang City, after all, who doesn't want to pass on the bloodline? We can find an opportunity to take the children in the city first, and if we have children, there is hope, don't tell them too much, just tell them that because of the limited number of ships, we can only take the children to the north first, and most of the people will definitely not refuse this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Xun You said with a confident face, in fact, Xun You did not agree with taking the child away, but after all, the real commander of the army is Gao Shun, if he can't convince Gao Shun and Chen Gong, even if Xun You has a good plan, it is useless.

"If the people disagree?" Chen Gong shook his head with a wry smile, and asked Xun You, since Xun You is not cutting off the hope of the people, Chen Gong is not going to make things difficult anymore, otherwise how will he look up and not see his colleagues in the future?

"Then let them go, we have done our duty." Xun You didn't answer, Gao Shun said out loud. The reason why Gao Shun disagreed a little just now was because Xun You's method was too desperate, and now that he has left a fire for the people of Xiaohuangcheng, what else is there to say?

Northern Xinjiang is not the kingdom of heaven, the heaven-given army is not a nanny, when it should be bloody, it must be bloody, soft-hearted, and it will never be able to achieve hegemony!!
