Just when Zhang Chong was thinking about which way to go, He Kui said:

"In addition to the north and south roads, the main one is the east road. It goes out of Luoyang, along the southern foot of the mountain, through the low mountains and hills of Yanshi, Gongxian, Bishui, Xingyang and other places is the East Henan Plain, so that you can pass through Liyangjin to the north, go straight to Youyan. Or along the official ferry into Bianshui straight into the Jianghuai. Or go along the water and go east to Qilu. Therefore, Chen Liu, in eastern Henan, can be the hub of the world, as long as it occupies here, it can echo with the great river of the head sect in the north, and go hand in hand with the Ruying Yellow Turban in the south."

As soon as He Kui said it, Zhang Chong understood, isn't this the route that the Kwantung princes will take to discuss Dong in the future? The situation was exactly the same then.

At that time, the princes were begging for Dong, and it was also Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, and Zhang Yangtun who threatened the north of Luoyang in Hanoi, and Han Fu lived in Yecheng to provide military food; In addition, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Cao Cao, and Bao Xintun soldiers Chen Liu's sour dates threatened the east of Luoyang; And Yuan Shu and Sun Jian tun troops to Luyang, and Kong Lingtun troops to Yingchuan, jointly threatened the south of Luoyang.

It can be said that the hub of Luoyang's contact with the outside world at that time, Hanoi, Chenliu, Yingchuan, and Nanyang were all occupied by anti-Dong forces. Although they lost in the end, it was only a ghost in the hearts of the coalition forces, and they were very discerning in the strategic points of their stationing.

And the current situation is that there are three main forces on Taiping Road, and there is no one who threatens the east alone, and he Zhang Chong just fills this fast? In this way, it is convenient for him to go north and south.

According to the trend of history, the Han Court will send troops in two ways, one led by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, south to Yingchuan and Bocai to fight in Changshe, and all the way to Lu Zhi led by Lu Zhi, and go north to join forces with the Youzhou Raiders of the Sect of the Wuhuan Zhonglang General and the two battalions of Duliao and Yuyang, and then fight with Zhang Jiao in Guangzong.

At first, Zhang Chong thought that Lu Zhi was Zhang Jiao who was attacking Jizhou from Youzhou south. Later, when Zhang Chong saw the seized Di Bao, Lu Zhi was a thief as the general of Beizhonglang, you must know that Beizhonglang will be one of the four generals, and the guards are forbidden. Therefore, Lu Zhi must have gone north from Luoyang, and it is estimated that he would cross Hanoi through Mengjin. In that case, Lu Zhi and Hu Wuhuan Zhonglang will attack Zhang Jiao from the south and the north.

Later, he will return this information to Zhang Jiao, telling him to be careful of the Youzhou Raiders who came down from Youzhou. Youzhou Raid is not a joke, you must know that Youzhou Raid, Jizhou strong crossbow, for the world's elite soldiers, the country's gall core, the Quartet has something to do, all of them don't use these two soldiers.

And the role of Youzhou Turquoise in Guangwu to win the world is not enough to exaggerate. When Wu Han and Geng Yi each sent a sudden cavalry of 2,000, they went south to help Guangwu attack Handan Wang Lang, and they killed Wang Lang's general, Jiuqing, and more than 400 levels below the school captain, and obtained the terrifying record of 125 ribbons, section 2, and beheaded 30,000 levels, directly defeated Wang Lang and retreated to Handan City.

So if Zhang Jiao doesn't guard against this cavalry, he will definitely suffer a big loss.

But no matter how bad the North Road is, according to the historical trend, it will also be in confrontation with the Han Court. The place that really opened the breakthrough of the Han Court was that Huangfu Song broke the wave and was only in the Changshe. Then it was to break Peng off from Xihua, and then Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun divided their troops, one went north to break Dongjun, broke Hebei Taiping Road, and one went south to break Nanyang Taiping Road. It was these mobile forces that were constantly mobilized to other battlefields that eventually caused the Taiping Road to avalanche. ….

And if Zhang Chong goes north to Dongjun and joins Buji in Dongjun, and then the two sides join forces directly west to Chenliu, then he can block Huangfu Song in Yingchuan, then there will still be a chance in this battle of Taipingdao.

And Zhang Chong has already figured out that his goal in this battle is not to break through the counties and counties, how much territory to occupy, those are all false, the most important goal is to defeat the mobile forces such as the northern and southern armies of the Han court. Zhang Chong knew that as long as the Central Plains battlefield on their side fought for a long time, the Qiang people in Xizhou would rise up and rebel. When the time comes, Hanting will be enemies on both sides, and there will be no chance to overthrow it.

Zhang Chong immediately sent sand and soil, and asked He Kui to talk about this east road.

He Kui quickly placed five mounds on the ground with sand, from left to right: Luoyang, Yanshi, Gongxian, Hujiao, and Xingyang.

He Kui first pointed to the last mound representing Xingyang and introduced:

"Xingyang is the middle of the world, the north and the south, once there is something in the east, the imperial court will gather heavy troops in Xingyang. Then here is the chief official Ru, Si, He, Ji, can be the five rushes, across the street Qu road also. Therefore, once Xingyang can be seized, the world can be blocked. correct

Later, there is Ao Cang in the north of Xingyang, accumulating the world's millet, and when the time comes, Ao Cang and the Han Court will confront each other, and the world will change."

After introducing the first level, He Kui continued to talk about the second tiger prison:

"Now from Xingyang to the east, it is Tanyi, but after Xingyang to the east, it is Chonggang and stacked Fufu, which is endless, so that a husband and a man can stand, and a hundred people cannot pass. One of the most important places is this tiger prison, also called Chenggao.

From the east of the Kanto into Luo, along the Yellow River together, in the Chenggao place there is just the Songshan mountain range stretched out, and the place between the big river, there is just a very narrow distance, and the predecessors just built a Guanjin here, the north of the big river, the Songshan Mountain, thought it was dangerous. There is even a river on the eastern side of the Kanto, which can be described as a defensive obstacle. It's because it's also a battleground for soldiers."

After introducing the Tiger Prison, He Kui said Gong County:

"After Chenggao, the next one is Gong County. Gong of Gong County, solid also, named after the solidity of mountains and rivers on all sides. Its north is a big river, there are five societies and Jin can pass on the opposite bank, its city is small but strong, and because it is located at the mouth of Luoshui, there is also a warehouse city. When the millet of Aocang is transferred to Kyoto, it will also be stored in Gong County."

"After passing Gongxian, we will arrive at Yanshi, which is less than seventy miles away from Luoyang, and is the last barrier to the east of Luoyang. The north of the land is based on the mountain, and there are warehouses built at the foot of the mountain to store the grain for transshipment, and the northwest is the key ferry port of the north road into Luo, Mengjindu."

After saying this in one breath, for a young person like He Kui, it is also very physically demanding, so in the end, He Kui concluded:

"This is probably the case when you enter Luoyang from the East Road."

But after the person finished speaking, the audience was silent.

Or Ding Sheng asked timidly:

"Military, what you said is light and windy, but no matter how I look at it, I can't see that this eastern road is something we can fight. Let's not say that we go to Dongjun, we must first fight Jibeiguo, and after the confluence of Taiping Road between Jibeiguo and Dongjun, we will go to fight Chenliu, and after Chenliu is finished, we will also fight Xingyang and Chenggao. Military, you think too highly of us! Let's not talk about the second half of the fight, even the first half, to hit Chen Liu, it will take a lot of effort. I don't think it's appropriate for you to plan. If you let me say, what do we do so much, isn't it good to hit Qingzhou directly? Let's gather the Qu Shuai from several other parties in Qingzhou, and raise hundreds of thousands of troops when the time comes, where will we go." ….

Ding Sheng's words expressed the voices of many military officials present, they sat there, just listening to the mouths of those staff, this quote from the scriptures, and that side citation, it sounded very powerful, but they pondered it carefully, it was not like that, these people were just talking on paper, not practical at all.

Zhang Chong was also stumped by what He Kui said, he originally thought that the southernmost thing in the east was the Tiger Prison Pass, and thought that as long as the Tiger Prison Pass was broken, he could drive straight in. But who knows what He Kui means, this way is all pass, if this is fought one by one, it is really not practical.

He Kui has been with Zhang Chong for so long, so he naturally still understands Zhang Chong, only to see him say:

"Walking from the east road is just an offensive posture, more importantly, we use this road to collect the Yanyu Yellow Turban, and then whether we go north to support the head sect or south to support Ruying, we can take the lead in me, and when the time comes, our troops will go out of Xingyang, and the world will pay attention."

Zhang Chong understood as soon as he heard it. He Kui means that he Zhang Chong is now named the general of the sky, and he should use this name to be the commander of one side, and then he can take advantage of the situation to annex and absorb this Taiping Road to develop and grow. And Zhang Chong also knows that now the main forces of the Han Court are on both sides, if he stays in the west to Chen, so to speak, the Han Court only has the share of guarding, because they have no one to fight in the east now.

As for what Ding Sheng said, stay in Qingzhou for development, which is basically the opinion of most mediocre people, and you can only see its strengths and not its shortcomings.

What time is it? It can be said that it is the historical melody of the Yellow Turban and the Han Court competing for the world, and only by actively participating in it, he Zhang Chong will develop in the struggle whether it is prestige, fame or strength.

Why can Cao Cao be a hero in later generations? Just because he is always aggressive, especially in sour jujube, when the princes are all feasting and singing, only Cao Cao raised his troops to Xingyang. Although he failed in the end, he gained great fame.

Because people of insight in the world know that this generation is different from other mediocre people. behind

For a while, Cao Cao was attached to Yuan Shao, and the two once talked about how to achieve great things. Yuan Shao once said: "I am based on the river in the south, Yan and Dai in the north, and the people of Rong Di in the north, and fight for the world in the south." And what did Cao Cao say? He said, "Let the intellect of the world be the best of the way."

That is to say, Cao *** does not rely on mountains and rivers to fight for the world, but gathers the wisdom of the people to win the world. Why did Zhongzhi turn to Cao Cao like a bird returning to the forest, you must know that Yuan Shao is the third prince of the fourth world, and he naturally has a huge reputation. For example, Cheng Li of Dongjun was originally valued by the county guard at that time, and he should not be recommended by him. And once Cao Cao came to be the Taishou of Dongjun, he hurried to join Cao Cao.

This is all because Cao Cao has used his actions to show his aggressive fighting spirit in several historical tides, which has gained him great prestige.

And now Zhang Chong is the same, although he also has a reputation for righteousness in the church, but his influence is still only in Qingzhou, and as long as he takes the initiative to go west, gather Yanyu's soldiers and compete with the Han court in Chenggao, then at that time, it will be truly known to the world.

And if he Zhang Chong stood by and watched when Daping Dao was such a big event or just a corner of peace, it would only disappoint the sect, thinking that Zhang Chong's pattern was like this, but a dog guarding the household was not enough to shoulder the banner of the anti-Han forces in the world. At that time, even with the support of Qingzhou Dao, he Zhang Chong would not lose more than he gained.

Therefore, Zhang Chong understands his mission, that is:

"Raise the soldiers of Mount Tai, gather the people of Yanyu, stuff them into the mouth of Gao, and fight in the world."

"Let the world know that I am the great general who rushes to heaven and asks for the people's life."
