The war in Xuzhou was mainly in charge of Zhuge Jin and Dai Gang, and it stands to reason that Zhuge Jin, as a general of the overseer, is still above Dai Gang, but he is self-aware. Knowing that although he is not bad at fighting, he is not a professional, far inferior to Dai Gang, a veteran of the Megatron Empire, so although Zhuge Jin has the right to command all the way, he handed over the command of the war on the Eastern Front to Dai Gang, so that the entire army on the Eastern Front is actually commanded by Dai Gang.

Dai Gang ordered Fei Mu and Ma Xuan to sit in Huaiyin, and ordered Zhuge Jin, Tai Shici and other generals to divide their troops out of Quyang and the coastal side of the East China Sea to march to capture the East China Sea and Langya with the assistance of the Dongwu naval army, and sent envoys to Qingzhou and Xuzhou to prepare to surrender the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who remained in the mountains, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that they were bandits.

And Dai Gang himself led 30,000 elite soldiers with Ma Zhong and Han Dang, and rushed to the next minister to reinforce the Liuzan Department as the vanguard.

At this time, Cao Xiu, who was in the Central Plains, had just assembled a large army, and the soldiers and horses were rushing from Luoyang to Yuzhou, wanting to enter Yangzhou to intercept Sun Shaobu, who had sent troops to Shouchun......

On the other hand, more than 30,000 people in Xuzhou Thorn Shi Zang Ba did not carry much food, and besieged Liuzan who occupied the lower prime minister for more than ten days, and suffered a lot of damage.

Outside the city, Dai Gangzhong's army camp

As soon as Liuzan galloped into the camp gate, Dai Gang led a cadre of civil and military personnel to greet him in person, and when the two saw this, they hurriedly turned over and dismounted, Fang Shao stepped forward and bowed, "The last general has seen the governor." ”

With a smile on his face, Dai Gang took a few steps to help Liuzan up, stroked his shoulder and said: "Zhengming, Zhengming, stop Zang Ba, you are indispensable." Taiwei said in the past that you have a pioneer talent, and it is true, Taiwei really did not see the wrong person. ”

Liuzan hurriedly said: "Most of the governors have praised it, this battle is all the soldiers' lives, and a certain family is just doing a little bit of effort." ”

"Masaaki is humble." Dai Gang took Liuzan's hand to the big tent and sat down, and Dai Gang stood alone in the main seat and looked around. The little scholar in the past has now grown into a general on the Megatron side, and Dai Gang smiled at the deputy military captain Lu Yi with a wisp of short beard: "The world thinks that Zang Ba will dare to attack the prime minister again." ”

"The last general thought that it wouldn't, Zang Ba's Xuzhou army was less than 30,000 people, and he could still fight with our army if he sat in Pijian City, and if he came to capture the prime minister, he would not be able to catch it." Lu said, pointing to the map.

"Hmm!" Dai Gang nodded in approval of Lu Yi's words, then turned his head to Han Dang and asked, "Old General Han, the Zhuge Overseer and General Taishi only led 9,000 soldiers and horses to attack the East China Sea, but the number of troops will be a little less. ”

Han Dang is no longer the prime-age general who was used as a gunman by the Wu Jun family (mainly Zhu Zhi), and now he is just a stubborn old man who is eager to exert his residual heat. Han Yigong, who had white hair, twisted his neck and replied without thinking: "No!" Sun Guan's Qingzhou army numbered only 20,000, which was not Ziyi's opponent in a coastal place like Donghai County, and the overseer's wisdom was comparable to Sun Guan's generation. ”

Of course, Dai Gang knew that Sun Guan had few troops, and the Wu army was attacking along the coast with the assistance of the navy, and Zang Ba was dragged by Dai Gang here, unable to divide the troops to help, Tai Shici went south in the past years from this way to Yangzhou, and he was quite familiar with the terrain, not to mention Zhuge Jin, a Langya person, who was not able to deal with Sun Guan. This question is just to test Han Dang's attitude, after all, Qiao Ren was unhappy with Han Dang back then.

"Hmm!!" Seeing that Han Dang's attitude was very cooperative, Dai Gang nodded with satisfaction and looked at a somewhat hazy general beside Han Dang who was nearly thirty years old, and asked Han Dang, "General Yigong, is this Ling Lang?" ”

"Huh! It's the dog Han Zong! Han Dangle pushed Han Zong out, kicked him ** and said: "What is not a weapon, this time I asked him to come out with the part to practice." ”

Of course, Dai Gang understood that Han Dang did this so that Dai Gang would give his son a chance, although his 3,000 parts would be inherited by Han Zong after Han Dang's death, but if Han Zong was too unsuccessful or his official position was too low, he was afraid that he would not be able to raise these 3,000 parts.

When Dai Gang heard this, he looked at Jiang Xiu (Jiang Qin's second son), Pan Ping (Pan Zhangzi), and Zhou Shao (Zhou Taizi), the three guards and captains around him, these three people are the same as Han Zong, and they are all the sons of Jiang Biao Huchen, and they were also thrown to Dai Gang by their elders.

"In that case, how about letting the virtuous nephew lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to be a guard captain under the command of the governor?"

"Good!" Han Dang said happily and kicked Han Zong's ** again, and scolded with a smile: "Don't thank the Governor yet." ”

"That's it!!" Dai Gang hurriedly waved his hand to signal Han Dang not to take it too seriously, and finally appeased the excited Han Dang, and then opened his mouth and asked Lu Yi: "What does the world think of Zang Bajun?" ”

Among the generals on the Eastern Front, Xu Sheng and Liu Xun went to Jianye and Qiao Ren all the way, while Ding Feng's brothers were in Sun Shao's army, and Zhu Huan and Lü Ju were a little resourceful under Dai Gang's hands, compared to Zhu Huan, who was better at fighting, and Lü Ju's observation and judgment ability was the best in Dai Gang's hands.

"Advance and retreat!" Lu Yi chuckled and said: "In the past, our army broke through Xiapi City with the help of the Xiapi family, and then looked further forward to see Wei Wu capture Pizeng to dig Surabaya to irrigate the city. It can be seen that Xiapi is not a suitable place to hold, on the contrary, Pengcheng north of Xiapi is more suitable for holding. However, after all, Zang Ba is the assassin of Xuzhou, and it is his duty to retreat without a fight, but if he wants to defend it, the troops are not enough, not to mention, now that the ice and snow melt in the spring, the amount of water in Surabaya has increased greatly, and Zang Ba is afraid that our army will dig Surabaya. Neither is it advancing or retreating. ”

"Then, are we waiting for the troops of the first-class king (referring to Sun Shao)? or directly forced Zang Ba to give up Xiapi. Dai Gang obviously has a plan, and he just happened to take the school exam.

Lu Ju didn't think about this problem, and when he heard Dai Gang's question, he thought for a while, and finally said with little confidence: "Wait? This time, the three-way army marched north, and there were many suspicious points. Jianye's meaning does not seem to be to really go on a northern expedition, but to put pressure on Wei, and the last general thinks that the main thing should be to destroy the enemy, and the city should be occupied. It is better to wait for the king's army to arrive and annihilate the Zang Ba army in Xiapi in one fell swoop. ”

Dai Gang shook his head, pointed to the county west of Xiapi on the map, and said: "In the early years, the Taiwei taught Ben Du many times that if you want to annihilate his enemy for the purpose, the best way is to encircle the point and send reinforcements, it is said that Cao Xiu's reinforcements have arrived in Yuzhou, and now it is time to try to fight a dozen reinforcements!" ”

"Reinforcements?" Not only Lu Ju, but also a veteran general like Han Dang has never heard of such a tactic, but it is no wonder that this is the military thinking of later generations.

Surround the enemy in one stronghold and use it as bait to attract enemy reinforcements from other places, but the real purpose is to attack the reinforcing enemy and achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy. The focus of the siege is to send reinforcements, so the focus of troop deployment is to fight the strength of the enemy's reinforcements, while the troops besieging the city are more only auxiliary forces or suspicious soldiers. This is the encirclement of reinforcements, of course, Dai Gang can't explain it to the soldiers in the tent like this, even he himself doesn't understand this.

"It's just an improvement of Wei Wei to save Zhao." Dai Gang shook his finger, dipped his index finger in water and drew a brief operational diagram on the desk, and began to briefly explain the encirclement point and reinforcements. That is, the idea and usage of encircling Wei to save Zhao, but the strategic purpose is different???????????

"What does the Metropolitan Governor mean is that we cooperate with the king's troops to flank Cao Xiu's reinforcements?" Lu Zhi is worthy of being a good talent, and he can understand it at one point. "But how can Zang Ba in Xiapi City make our army move."

"That's where the suspicion comes in." Dai Gang paused, suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Pan Ping, Han Zong obey the order, and Ling Er and others will take their headquarters to consolidate Xiangcheng." ”

"Wow!!"

"Liuzan obeyed the order, and Ling Er led the vanguard to strengthen the camp in the West Mountain."

"Wow!!"

"The world will ask you to write a letter to the king."

"Wow!!"

Therefore, Dai Gangjun quickly built a larger Guancheng on the basis of the original Xiaxiangcheng, so that it could form a real horn with the camp of Xishan, and control the main mouth where Xiangshui and Surabaya intersected. Quietly waiting for Cao Xiu's reinforcements to arrive. (To be continued.) )
