"Ming Gong, the thieves in Qingzhou are going from north to south, and the first place they go to is probably Jibei Kingdom."

"Jibei!" Cao Cao smiled, but his tone was much heavier, "Bao Xin's army is indeed in Jibei, and he uses his troops to defend bravely, advance and retreat well, maybe he can win here." ”

Zhang Han immediately shook his head, frowned and said: "I feel that Yanzhou Jibei is the same as Dongjun, the newly recruited soldiers and horses have never been on the battlefield, and they are all township brave training, and although the Qingzhou thieves were defeated, they have fought several battles to the death or even more than a dozen battles, and they have fought bloodily, how can Xinding be the enemy." ”

"Only by making its momentum fall can it be the enemy, although the thieves are numerous, but the soldiers are mixed, they follow each other, and the drag is very wide, waiting for the enemy army to want to attack, when they want to fight, they must have the intention of retreating, so that the elite soldiers can be defeated."

"Well, yes, I'll be at ease."

Cao Cao made a judgment and summarized all the strategies that Zhang Han wanted to say in one sentence, but he didn't have a relaxed look on his face, and nodded: "Go on." ”

"Defeat first can make Qingzhou thieves take it lightly and be arrogant and deep; Then they can set up ambushes, constantly attack and harass, trap them in Yanzhou, and then divide and break them one by one. ”

"Now, the lord should prepare soldiers and horses, and move the soldiers and horses from Dunqiu to Shouzhang along the march route first, so that he can support Bao Xiang at any time."

Zhang Han also passed through the military academy of the Dunqiu and Neihuang battles, and this marching route was still passable just a month ago, and it was relatively light and familiar, and the carriage and horses were easy to travel.

There is nothing wrong with arranging soldiers and horses to go to Shouzhang to ambush first, perhaps it is a better choice than doing nothing, so that Zhang Han really understands the convenience of "geographical advantages", which is an extremely important part of winning the war.

"What do you mean is that I don't march with the assassin and sit back and watch his success or failure?"

Cao Cao's face sank, and he stretched out his hand to tap on the case.

"It's not that you sit idly by," Zhang Han immediately surrendered his hand and said: "It's to assassinate Shi Liu Dai, and he will never let the Ming Duke send troops to suppress him, and the Yanzhou scholars will definitely not want to see this scene, so they should be fortified in the rear to prepare for chaos." ”

"What if Liu Dai wins?" Cao Cao said coldly, he Liu Dai is a generational official eunuch, the family is strong, protégés are everywhere, and a younger brother Liu Dai is in Yangzhou for the history of assassination.

A history of double stabs, it is a big shot, and there is no possibility of defeat.

If so, he will certainly lose a lot. If there is no good strategy, how can the Qingzhou thieves who cannot be resettled and surrendered can be surrendered? ”

"The Yanzhou clan has a strong heart to eliminate thieves and is unwilling to coexist with them, while the Qingzhou thieves hate it, but it is mainly a famous family."

"Although the Ming Duke is famous, but he is not known for the so-called famous people at home, but is known for being fair and strict, self-denial and dedication, such as thrifty family style, five-color sticks, and pushing temples, isn't it a strange person in the world?"

"If you can beat the thieves and make them surrender, you can further calm the hearts of the people, so that you can get hundreds of thousands of thieves in Qingzhou, or even more! These are the real sources of soldiers and vitality! ”

Zhang Han's expression was serious and serious, his hands bowed down, and his words were loud, which not only clarified the current situation that was very likely to occur, but also faintly said Cao Cao's current pain points.

What people want!

Chenliu, Jibei, Jinan, Rencheng and many other large counties each have the officials of the famous clan, and they will not be attributed to Cao Cao, an outsider.

His reputation in the hearts of the people, not even the first to correct the edict of the three princes, was ordered to crusade against Dong Thief, the former Taishou Qiao Gao, after the victory in the battle against Montenegro, with his military prestige can be based here, but to win the hearts of the people, not only Montenegro.

This time the thieves from Qingzhou are coming, it is the best time!

Qingxu thief Kou, will go down to Yanzhou, among the people in Xuzhou, there are many wolf ambitions, such as Chen, Kan, Tao Qian, Danyang people...... They all want to introduce the disaster water into Yanzhou, and after the chaos, they can take the opportunity to take the territory and govern themselves and strengthen themselves.

Yes, according to the news from the military newspaper, Cao Cao had already gotten it and made a similar judgment.

However, how can the momentum of sitting in the middle and watching success or failure, and then sending troops to determine Kunkun, come from his mouth?

What Zhang Han said today is consistent with what many clan relatives think, Cao Cao thought to himself.

Although he is full of strategy! A mouth of rebuttal, even the appearance of a straight chest, and a sense of eloquence! But he is really capable of fighting, and he can be appointed, hehe.

"Hmph."

Cao Cao chuckled lightly and didn't say anything, but after taking a deep look at Zhang Han, he got up and left.

But not long after, the Eastern County Cheng Xia Hou sent Han Hao to arrive, invited Zhang Han into the County Cheng Mansion, studied Chinese for the Taishou Mansion, and came under Cao Cao.

Before noon, Zhang Han packed up and went to work.

It's just that after taking office, General Han Hao, the subordinate general of Xiahou Xuan, came over in person and gave Zhang Han a finely forged bright silver spear, and the head of the spear was poured with a bronze sculpture of a tiger's head.

"Bo Chang, this is a gift from the Taishou, and the treasure gun is matched with Confucianism."

Zhang Han: "??? ”

……

The Sacrificial Mansion.

Xi Zhicai woke up with a hangover, after getting drunk last night, he waited for Zhang Han late at night, and couldn't sleep for a long time after driving him away, and today he finally slept deeply for a whole day, and it felt like a year had passed.

When I woke up, the sun shone through the window on the side of the bed, and the warmth hit me when I was lazy, and I listened to the report from the guard.

He sat up as soon as he was excited: "Zhang Han was transferred and left?!" ”

"Why?! Who the transferred away! I discovered this man! ”

Su Wei was embarrassed and stunned: "Today, Taishou came, saying that he was talking about asking for advice, and then invited him to the mansion and returned to the command of the county prince Xiahoudun." ”

Xi Zhicai: "......"

"Sacrificial wine, why don't you talk to Taishou......" The guard looked up and peeked.

"Since the lord values it, then there is no need, it means that my vision is not bad, this person is really capable, hum." Xi Zhicai laughed a few times, turned his head and fell asleep again.

Eighteen days later.

Cao Cao discussed with many civil and military forces many times, and decided not to wait for the front military report, but first moved troops to Shouzhang Hoarding Army, and transferred most of the elite cavalry under his command.

He raised only more than 900 cavalry, and captured more than 1,000 horses in the battle with the Montenegrin army, of which only a few hundred could be trained.

After many days of training, he could barely have 1,200 horsemen and was regarded as an elite.

Supplemented by 6,000 foot soldiers, and there are front and rear escorts to go, transport grain first, the army set off towards Shouzhang, the East County, Juancheng, Puyang area under the jurisdiction of Xiahou Dan, Xun Yu assisted, and sent Chen Gong to Zhang Miao, calm his heart, entrusted to the rear.

Before the army first rose, Cao Cao's mind was full of the scene of Zhang Han practicing gunnery that day, as well as the scene of charging into battle many times and killing the enemy bravely.

No matter how you think about it, I think it's right to equip him with a white horse, a silver robe and silver armor, plus a bright silver spear, and charge ahead of the army.

When the Montenegrin Army, most of them were hometown children and brothers, and they had no bloody experience when they first entered the battlefield, and now the remaining generals and soldiers after the victory of the war are treasures and backbones.

If he honestly collects military merits and becomes a general with a foreign surname, it is not impossible.

Unfortunately......

Thinking of this, Cao Cao saw Zhang Han wearing a cyan Confucian robe, wearing a bun on his head, and riding a horse not far away, looking happy and whispering something to Xi Zhicai.

It didn't take long for Xi Zhi to speak loudly, as if to blame.

What do they talk about?

Tsk, no matter how you look at it, this should be a heroic and brave general.

Cao Cao rode forward, approached the two of them, and vaguely heard the voice of Xi Zhicai's blame.

"I've always only imagined that the enemy would come, but today I realized that it was you kid who spoke directly! Although there are thieves in Qingxu, there is still Taihang to enter, if you don't venture into the mountains and don't take the plunder, isn't it a waste of military funds this time? ! ”

"If you don't think about everything, you are in a hurry to rush into the greedy work! What hubris! While I'm asleep, hook - make a statement to the lord! ”

What a chicken feather you are!?

Cao Cao chuckled when he heard this.

At this moment, a war horse galloped in the distance, dressed in the heart-protecting cloth armor of the Baoxin Army of Jibei......

"People from Jibei?"

Cao Cao frowned, thinking slightly.
