There are dozens of tall warships docked in Yangzhou Navy at the mouth of the gourd on the sea, because Zhou Yu has always been immersed in development and does not participate in the battle, and has always burned the war on other people's territory, there are Cheng Yu and Zhang Zhao, two internal affairs experts to settle him The rear Yangtze River Basin is now the only one in Ganning's navy, even if it is Jingzhou Cai Mao's navy does not dare to go wild when he sees the Yangzhou navy. Zhou Yu spent a lot of money on building warships and naval armies, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Zhang Zhao strongly opposed Zhou Yu's approach, but Zhou Yu just smiled and said that as long as the navy wants no less money, including Gao Shun's trapped camp in his hands are selected from the elite trained by Zhou Tai, Yangzhou now has 100,000 conventional combat troops, and it is barely enough to reach the standard of trapping the camp 3,000. They are also one of the highest-paid battalions in the Yangzhou Army. In addition, Huang Zhong's Divine Arrow Battalion also has unique requirements for arm strength and eyes, in Zhou Yu's words, the Divine Arrow Battalion is the only sniper in the Yangzhou Army, they are like appendages that make the enemy's back cold. Now the recruitment system of the Han Dynasty is still to catch strong men, every household as long as the male must send someone to join the army, many people are forced to join the army out of helplessness or unable to pay taxes, as long as there is enough food, grass, money, a short time to pull up a team is not a problem. Zhou Yu accepted the idea of later generations, then let the soldiers take the military camp as their home, as long as they participate in the Yangzhou Army and pass the assessment to become a member of the Yangzhou Army, their family's taxes will be exempted and they will be given food regularly, so that the soldiers in front can charge into battle without worries, even if the unfortunate soldier Zhou Yu will increase a death pension, so now Yangzhou is not short of soldiers!

This time Zhou Yu raised 20,000 troops to be escorted by the navy army to the north, the governor of the navy is a lord who can't stay, Ding Feng needs to stay to guard the Yangtze River Basin, and Jiang Qin is left who is familiar with water warfare. In addition to carrying 20,000 troops, the cabin of the Yangzhou Navy this time dozens of big ships are also full of grain and grass, fruits, vegetables and other baggage, Zhou Yu and the grain they use are all escorted by Gan Ning once every half a month, Zhou Yu in addition to his own army in addition to the Youzhou army, so that the consumption of grain and grass is a little fast, now Yuan Shao sent Gao Ping, Yuan Hong to lead the army to seal the gourd mouth of the only way, so that Zhou Yu wants to transport grain and grass need to detour to Beiping Mansion, the increase in time spent will be unfavorable to the war.

According to the shadow to report that Beiping Mansion was drought last year, and their grain and grass were basically stored in the past, and now it is impossible to wait for the imperial court to provide disaster relief, and the small imperial court in Chang'an is too busy to take care of itself, where will they care about the life and death of the people in Youzhou. The stalemate between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao made the people of Beiping Mansion even worse, Yuan Shao wanted to cut off Zhou Yu's supply of grain and grass, how could Zhou Yu be polite to Yuan Shao again, and not be rude!

Guo Jia sent Dian Wei and Huang Zhong each with 500 elites to detective Yuan Shao's grain and grass hoarding, Yuan Shao's daily consumption of 200,000 troops is very huge, and only the grain and grass in the camp can't be supported for too long, at least there must be a place to store grain in the nearby hidden place, as long as you find this place and burn him to Yuan Shao, then see what method Yuan Shao uses to plug these 200,000 mouths. The five hundred men and horses brought out by Dian Wei this time are all guards trained by him, and they are very familiar with fighting in the mountains and jungles, and they often guard Zhou Yu's side, and it is not an exaggeration to count them as dead soldiers around Zhou Yu. Huang Zhong took the 500 people of his Divine Arrow Battalion to explore the way, and the two received a military order to take Yuan Shao's grain and grass camp at all costs.

The end of Yuan Shao's grain and grass camp has begun to be implemented, Gan Ning was ordered by Guo Jia to bring 3,000 men and horses to clear the obstacles on the road, but Yuan Shao's military formation and Gaoping echoed each other's horns, so Guo Jiaxian sent Zhang Sanye out to hit the morale of Yuan Shao's army very low, these days Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are constantly standing outside Yuan Shao's camp to challenge, how can Yuan Shao's camp really can't find a general who can kill Zhang Fei and Guan Yu in seconds, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are only tied with them, It really made Yuan Shao's heart feel angry, but there was nowhere to vent.

Gan Ning and Zhou Cang took 3,000 men and horses to quietly go out of the city at night and camp in a ravine three miles east of the city according to Guo Jia's words, and the next day Gan Ning sent scouts to Yuan Shao's army to contact Gaoping army one by one, and at the same time sent men and horses to send letters to the Gaoping camp in disguise. The scouts of the Gaoping faction who will come are also intercepted by Gan Ning, and after interrogation, it was learned that Gaoping they built a simple beacon tower on the top of the mountain in order to prevent Zhou Yu's men and horses from sneaking attack, whether it is day or night, as long as it is attacked by the army of unknown origin, immediately raise fire as a warning to Yuan Shao's camp, if this is the case, Gan Ning took the Yangzhou army to attack the Gaoping Department at the foot of the mountain, once the police are sent on the mountain, then Yuan Shao's army will come to the rescue, and finally he will be wrapped dumplings if he is not careful, although Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are more!

"Zhou Cang—do you have any good way to get rid of that watchtower at the top of the mountain?" Gan Ning's own observation of the mountain situation, the high mountain in this place of Gao Pingxuan is a broken walled mountain, that is, the mountain bears cliff-like stratification on one side, and the steep slope on the other side. This place is not suitable for ambush location, but Gao Pingbu will tie Dazhai on the middle mountain road, and if you want to go over, you can only fight it, and the mountains on the other side are also ten dense jungles and cannot be hidden.

"General—this is easy! The last general is a person from Jizhou, only need to interrogate everything in the Gaoping camp, the last general is willing to take a few brothers to blend into the enemy camp, close to the top of the mountain and quietly kill the people of Tashan, as long as the top of the mountain is successful, I will let people shoot a green signal cannon, so that the general will immediately lead the men and horses to storm the Gaoping camp, and the remaining brothers will take the opportunity to set fire to the camp, as long as the enemy camp is in chaos, we will be able to break his camp. But I think it's best to do it at night-" Zhou Cang's Jizhou accent that he had followed Zhang Jiao to stay in Julu for many years was indeed the most suitable for him to blend into.

"This method is feasible - but we still need to prepare an appetizer for Yuan Shao's army, leave two hundred men and horses to set up an ambush here on this necessary road, dig some more small pits and cover the floating grass, and only bring Yuan Shao's reinforcements to approach at night to set up torches first, and then trumpets and drums to make noise, if Yuan Shao's army stagnates or retreats, then ignore it! Once the Yuan army forcibly attacked, then ignite the fire oil in the five trenches on the road, remember to point by point! Your purpose is to delay time-" Gan Ning acquiesced to Zhou Cang's proposal, and he also arranged for men and horses to ambush Yuan Shao's reinforcements, which is indeed a safe arrangement! The only danger is Zhou Cang, but Zhou Cang has always done things safely-
