In the Ya of Chaisang County, Huo Jun was directing the subordinates who had surrendered to present the household registration documents in Chaisang City and the surrounding mountains and rivers.

In the city, Huo Jun took the lead in ordering people to blockade the treasury, and then led people to the county government to recruit Chaisang's subordinate officials to see if he could find an important military map

As a county-level city, Chaisang will logically not preserve important geographical maps, but as a military town in the east and west of the Yangtze River, it will store military maps 100%. As for what kind of military map, it is like opening a blind box.

In the absence of satellites in ancient times, military maps were extremely rare. Before going down to Jiangdong this time, the map of Yuzhang County was produced by Huang Zu, but it was only a general terrain, and the specific and detailed topographic map was really lacking. The details of Chaisang's terrain were only discovered by Gan Ning and his troops infiltrating Yuzhang.

Touching the map, a smile appeared on Huo Jun's face. With this map, the counties around Poyang Lake are all under his control.

The subordinate officer wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and said, "General, this is Chaisang's household registration document. ”

Huo Jun took the household registration case and saw the population of Chaisang County, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, Yuzhang is really rich, and the population of Chaisang County alone is forty or fifty thousand, about seven or eight thousand households.

"Do you know how many people there are in Yuzhang County?" Huo Jun asked.

The official wiped his sweat and arched his hand and said: "General, I am only a small official in the county, how do you know the latest number of household registrations in the county." However, the officials once listened to the old planner's words, and during the Yonghe period, there were more than 400,000 households in Yuzhang, and the population reached 1.7 million. Although it has been decades and the twists and turns of the war, many people have been lost, and it is estimated that there are millions of people. ”

In Huo Jun's three-step strategy, the first step suggested that Liu Bei should gain a firm foothold in Yuzhang, not only from geographical factors, but also from demographic factors.

From the census of Yonghe in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it can be found that the population of Yangzhou is as high as more than 4 million. If Yuzhang County is removed, the combined population of Wu County, Danyang, and Huiji County in Sun Quan's hands will only reach 1.8 million. If the weak foundation of Huiji County is removed, the population of Danyang and Wu County is only about 1.3 million.

In fact, Liu Bei integrated Yu Zhang's strength, and he was able to wrestle with Sun Quan. If Danyang is taken and the second step of the Jiangdong strategy is realized, Liu Bei's power will be overwhelmingly superior to Sun Quan.

Huo Jun looked at the map and the case when he was distracted. The sound of hurried footsteps came, Huang Jian pressed the sword, broke into the hall angrily, and shouted: "Huo Zhongmiao, you use me as bait to seek Chaisang, and his heart can be punished!" ”

Huo Jun looked up and saw Huang Shot inside, got up to greet him, and said in surprise: "Brother Bo Zhong, where do you start talking about this?" ”

Seeing Huo Jun like this, Huang Jian sneered and said, "Zhong Miao, your lost words can coax others, but you can't fool me." If you are really lost, how can you send two troops to take the water gate of the west city and the dry road of the south city? In this battle, thousands of people were killed and wounded, and Zhong Miao should be blamed! ”

To be honest, Huo Jun didn't expect to be able to deceive Huang Jie, after all, not a fool can see it, who got lost in the lake and ran to the south gate of Chaisang,

However, Huo Jun was not afraid of Huang Shot, snorted coldly, and said: "Bo Zhong is ignorant of good and bad, Jun worked hard for General Huang and you to capture Caichaisang, and now I blame me for killing the sergeant under your command, it is really unreasonable." ”

Huo Jun walked up to Huang Jie, with an indignant look on his face, and said: "Dare to ask Bo Zhong, who commanded the more than 1,000 dead and wounded people, it is me or you; Who killed this, was it me Huo Zhongmiao, or that Jiangdong soldier? ”

Hearing this, Huang Zhu fell silent, and Huo Jun's question really poked into his heart. Who else could command these thousand people besides him, and the reason for the death and injury of the soldiers, except for the Jiangdong soldiers, there was no one else.

Huo Jun was indignant and said, "If it weren't for me Huo Zhongmiao, you Huang Bo Zhong'an would be able to enter Chaisang." The more than 1,000 soldiers under your command who were killed and wounded have already been killed and wounded in vain, how can you still recruit Chaisang soldiers to act as elites. ”

"This~"

Listening to Huo Jun's reprimand, Huang Jie calmed down, he realized that Huo Jun was deceiving himself and seemed to be using himself, plus the incident of hijacking himself last time, he instantly became angry, and he was angry and looked for Huo Jun's theory.

But listening to Huo Jun's words, he felt as if he was at fault. He made a mistake in commanding the soldiers and horses, causing more than 1,000 casualties among his subordinates, but fortunately with Huo Jun's help, he was able to enter Chaisang, but he always felt weird.

Seeing that Huo Jun was so angry, Huang Jie restrained his tone and said, "Then how can Zhong Miao explain, your second division appeared in the west and south gates, and took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to attack and seize the second gate and take Chaisang City. ”

Hearing this, Huo Jun seemed to be even more angry, and said dissatisfiedly: "Yesterday, Bo Zhong failed to capture the door, taking care of his face and not letting my troops suppress the formation, Jun was worried that it would be difficult for Bo Zhong to break the city today, so he sent the second department to attack the west and south two gates, thinking that it was a strategy for Bo Zhong." Unexpectedly, Bozhong was frustrated, and our troops made good progress in seizing the West Gate, breaking the city and taking Chaisang. ”

At that time, in order to take care of Bo Zhong's face, Jun Yan got lost and even went to the south gate, wanting to work with the general to break the city. Conquering Chaisang, Bo Zhong also got Chaisang, and there were no dead and wounded soldiers in vain, how can it become my fault now! Could it be that Bo Zhong really thought that Jun could count Bo Zhong's defeat and defeat? Huo Jun smiled angrily and said.

"This Bozhong doesn't know my hard work, you and I are fated to be extinct."

After speaking, Huo Jun was about to draw his sword and break the table.

Seeing this, Huang Jian didn't have time to think about the logical loopholes in Huo Jun's words, so he hurriedly stopped Huo Jun's hand and said, "Zhong Miao, don't be angry, blame Zhong Miao for the wrong shot." There are too many casualties in this soldier, and it is really my fault to misunderstand Zhong Miao in the urgency of shooting! ”

Seeing Huang Jie like this, Huo Jun seemed to be a lot relieved, no longer angry, and sighed and said: "Brother treats Jun with sincerity, but last time Jun on the ship treated his brother like this, I am really sorry." You also owe me a debt for this Chaisang, and you and I should treat each other with sincerity in the future. ”

"Don't fool each other!" Huang Jue said in a deep voice.

Huang Jie was really apologetic, in his eyes, Huo Jun took care of his face, and secretly went out of the village to assist him, but he didn't expect that his ability was insufficient, and he was pushed back by Xu Sheng. However, fortunately, Huo Jun's subordinates appeared, saved the defeat, and won Chaisang. He misunderstood that Huo Jun was using himself and argued with him.

As for whether Huo Jun can be counted as losing to Xu Sheng, he doesn't think that Huo Jun can be counted as successful. He has led his troops to fight for so many years, and he can't defeat Xu Sheng, who led eight hundred troops with thousands of people, normal people should not think that they are invincible, unless someone knows in advance that Xu Sheng is powerful, but is it possible?

Xu Sheng is unknown, not as famous as that Ling Cao, if he hadn't lost to Xu Sheng today, I'm afraid I wouldn't know him. can only be said to underestimate Xu Sheng's guy and his subordinates.

Changing the topic, Huang Jian took Huo Jun's arm and sat down, and said: "Now that the city of Chaisang is broken, I don't know what Zhong Miao thinks will do next, how should our army act?" ”

Huo Jun pondered for a while and said: "You and I march continuously, and break the village and capture the city, let the subordinates rest for a few days." Liu Jingzhou Biaojun received 2,000 soldiers, and now the team is not full, and he wants to move to Xuncheng to recruit troops, I don't know if Bo Zhong is willing? ”

Xuncheng belongs to Chaisang County. Now Chaisang belongs to Huang's grandfather and son, and Huo Jun's recruitment of recruits naturally requires Huang Jie's consent.

The scale of the next battle will become more and more huge, and it will be difficult for his 1,000-strong troops to change the overall situation, and he will need to recruit soldiers as soon as possible to prepare for the next battle. If what they expected was correct, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Gan Ning were also actively recruiting troops to prepare for the next battle.

"Zhong Miao is the same brother as someone, how can he not want to!" Huang Jie pretended to be displeased, and said: "Although Zhong Miao went to recruit troops, he shot and stationed in Chaisang, led Jiangxia grain and grass down the river, and hoarded Chaisang City. ”

After a pause, Huang Jie said: "Kechai Sang is Zhong Miao's work, and half of the money, grain, and equipment can be taken away to be used for Zhong Miao's army recruitment." ”

Huo Jun said gratefully: "Thank you, Bo Zhong!" ”

"Why do you and I need to say thank you!"

After chatting for a long time, Huang Jie left the house, and Huo Jun looked at Huang Jie's back and sighed. As far as friends are concerned, yellow shooting is true. This time, he used Huang Shot to seize Chaisang, and deceived Huang Shot, he seemed to be a bad person, and as a result, he did good things for their Huang family.

After all, if he didn't have himself, Huang Jie alone would not be enough to take Chaisang, and if he couldn't take Chaisang, it would drag down the progress of the war, and Huang Zu couldn't talk about expecting Chaisang to merge into his Jiangxia County.

As for going down to Jiangdong, if Liu Bei and Liu Qi are not allowed to attack Jiangdong, the heads of their Huang father and son will be cut off by Sun Quan.

Next, with the increase of his own soldiers and horses, he can open up the battlefield alone, and he does not need to take pains to borrow troops and play this routine. After all, if you play too many routines, you will be recognized once.
