Zhang Xiu entrusted all the six-foot-foot loner and military affairs to Xi Zhicai, and the emperor personally fought in the north.

Just like he did before. During the Lueyang period, Zhang Xiu went on a battle and Xi Zhicai stayed in Lueyang County.

When he was a Grand Sima and a General, Zhang Xiudian was away from the army and Xi Zhicai stayed in Luoyang. The Prime Minister had enough military affairs and enough food.

Zhang Xiu Liangzhu, and Xi Zhicai was "Xiao He, the Liangzhu".

The night is dark and the wind is loud.

Large-scale troops followed the avenue and headed towards the northern Mangshan. In the past, the ten regular attendants killed He Jin, and the Kyoto was in chaos. The emperor and King Chenliu took refuge in Beimianshan.

Beim Mountain is also a barrier in the north of Luoyang, but the mountain is too short and not easy to defend.

There are not many flags, only the big flag with the character "liang", as well as "dian", "qimen", "yulin", "huben", "ma", and "chen".

Hua Xiong and Hu Cheer's 60,000 cavalry, Gao Shun, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou and other infantry had long been deploying defenses along the river, and they looked like they were defending the Yellow River to the death.

Now the Lord Liang is in charge of the army and has only brought 30,000 troops.

The big banner with the character "liang" is specially made, with the wind blowing and roaring, and it is extremely hard for soldiers to carry it and need to be rotated.

Zhang Xiu, Dian Wei, Ma Dai, Fa Zheng, Ju Su, Xun You, Zhuge Jin, Sima Yi and others rode their horses.

"You must arrive at Beimang Mountain before dawn. Otherwise, once spies Yuan Shao heard about our movements, they will be prepared."

"If the order is sent, the soldiers will work harder. After arriving at the Mangshan camp, they will kill pigs and sheep and reward them."

Zhang Xiu turned his head and said to Ma Dai.

"No." Ma Dai was wearing iron armor and holding a large gun. He responded to No, turned around and sent the order.

The Ma brothers, Ma Chaodian's soldiers outside and Ma Dai's guards inside, were also considered to be the Liang Dynasty's generals.

After Zhang Xiu sent the order, he rode his horse north and looked north at Bingzhou, his eyes were very bright.

The Mangshan Camp had been built long ago, and Yuan Shao's spies could not find out how many soldiers there were in the camp. He added 30,000 people, and Yuan Shao's spies would not know.

But if Yuan Shao's spies along the road saw him marching north, they would definitely pass on the news, which would be no fun.

All previous efforts were wasted.

The Liang Dynasty treated soldiers the best. Although there were many soldiers and horses, they never deducted military rations. Although Ma Chao and Chen Deng were not elite soldiers, they were fat and strong, and had a lot of energy.

With Zhang Xiu's order, they accelerated their journey. The army finally entered the Mangshan camp before dawn.

Zhang Xiu's infantry are all here.

After Zhang Xiu entered the camp, he quickly led hundreds of light cavalrymen to the central army's tent first. Generals such as Gao Shun, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou welcomed him in front of the tent.

"Your Majesty." They were wearing iron armor and just bowed. Zhang Xiu turned over and dismounted and said to them, "Get into the tent and speak."

The civil and military officials immediately followed Zhang Xiu into the tent.

There was a Hu stool on the handsome throne. Zhang Xiu sat down and looked south at the civil and military. The civil and military sat left and right, and each person had a Hu stool.

"Get the map." Zhang Xiu said, "I looked up at Ma Dai, who was outside the account.

Ma Dai responded and immediately ordered two personal soldiers to get the map. The map was made of cloth and fixed on the screen.

Everyone saw it very clearly.

Zhang Xiu said to the generals: "I have discussed with my advisers. The army has been repaired during the day. When it is evening, I will take a boat to cross the river. First, I will arrive at this Fenshui Pavilion in Hanoi County and repair it during the day. Yuan Shao's spies are all on the south bank. The people of Hanoi County have been moved to the south bank by Taishici. It is now desolate and remote. Although there are many large troops, there will be no news. By the evening, we can rush to the long distance, kill Yuan Shao's camp, and lift the siege of Huaicheng."

The generals nodded to show their understanding. Hu Zhen bowed and asked, "I dare to ask Your Majesty. The army does not need too many people to attack, 30,000 are enough. I don't know who will attack, and who will stay behind, and how will you act?"

Zhang Xiu had already made a decision and said, "I led my army to go, Fan Chou and Gao Shun walked with me. The other generals crossed the river on the third day after I crossed the Yellow River, repaired the camp on the north bank to support me, and then ordered Huaxiong and Hu Cheer to gather the cavalry to cross the river. Once I defeated Yuan Shao, I stood firm in Huaicheng. I could form a horn with you, Pinglu. General Hengjiang can control the Yellow River. The situation will be reversed."

Although Yuan Shao ordered a hundred thousand troops to set up camp along the river, build warships and train naval forces, it only took two months and the naval forces to develop combat power.

The 10,000 naval army has been trained for nearly ten years, and both sides cannot speak the same way. In addition, once Zhang Xiu arrives in the north, it is a different story whether Yuan Shao's water camp can still stand or not.

When the generals heard this, some were happy and some were sad.

Ma Chao opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say it after all. His personality has really changed a lot over the years in Luoyang.

Of course Fan Chou was overjoyed, Gao Shun was very calm.

"promise."

No matter how happy or sad the generals agreed. Soon after, they scattered. Zhang Xiu placed it in the big tent, and lie down and fell asleep.

Although he has been out all year round, he is too tired to march overnight and can't hold on or hold on.

............

In the evening, in the north of Anyi City, Cao's army camp.

After another day of fierce attack on the city.

The Cao army has been sieging the city for three consecutive months. Putting aside the rainy days, the days of siege will not be less than fifty days. There are great casualties and the morale of the army is a bit sluggish.

At the camp gate, Cao Cao stood with iron armor and held a sword. Xu Chu beside him was like an iron tower, looking at him with great power.

"Oh." Cao Cao sighed and said to Guo Jia: "Zhang Xiu uses Xu Huang to guard Anyi, he is really good at using people."

Cao Cao has said this many times, but every time he is sincere and envies Zhang Xiu and generals like Xu Huang and Taishi Ci.

Guo Jia also sighed lightly, nodded and said, "Xu Huang is very powerful and powerful, and he leads his troops calmly, and has the style of Zhou Yafu. Zhang Xiu is indeed good at employing people."

Not long after, Cao Cao, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu returned to the tent together. Cao Cao took off his helmet and hung it on the shelf beside him, and then came to Hu's bench to sit down.

"I ordered a fierce attack here, and there were heavy casualties. Yuan Shao's thunder and little rain. Although I sent people to persuade Yuan Shao repeatedly, it was useless. Now I have been attacking for three consecutive months, and Xu Huang seems to be able to last for half a year. I hope Zhang Xiu is really content with enjoyment and abandoning the northern land. Otherwise, when Zhang Xiu takes action, I think we will be defeated like a mountain."

Cao Cao sighed again, shook his head helplessly.

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu also looked helpless. This snake cannot do without a head, but with too many heads, so what should I do?

Cao Cao and Sun Jian are both heroes, while Yuan Shao is really hard to describe.

"What the lord said is that our army is millions, and thunder is moving. People like Xi Zhicai immediately abandoned large areas of land and migrated the people, and only defended the main cities. If we can cooperate and eat the three cities in Hedong and Hanoi, and reach the Yellow River, we can gain the upper hand."

"Now Yuan Shao is still in control of his troops. As long as Zhang Xiu crosses the Yellow River, set foot in Hedong and Henei counties, the situation will be reversed, and it will be only a matter of time."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia sighed again and bowed and said, "Lord. I think it is better to make the worst plan than to pin your hopes on Zhang Xiu's true satisfaction in enjoyment. If Yuan Shao is defeated and the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi are retaken by Zhang Xiu."

Cao Cao thought for a while, nodded and said, "In that case, he will only be able to reverse the offense and defense. Jizhou is a big province, and Yuan Shao has been in charge for many years, so it is difficult to conquer. If I were Zhang Xiu, I would definitely have to take Bingzhou."

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu nodded.

Bingzhou is different.

Zhang Yan has been rampant on the Taihang Mountains, and Yuan Shao's management of Bingzhou was relatively weak, while Bingzhou's overall population was weak.

Cao Cao then sighed again: "Let's restrain our troops, suspend the offensive, and wait for the change."

"Yes." Guo Jia and Cheng Yu nodded.

The Cao army attacked Anyi from all directions, which was very dangerous. It would be better to gather troops and rebuild a large camp in the north, and contact the Cao army in Longmen and Puban, and be ready to retreat to Bingzhou at any time.

Once the offense and defense reverse, the good situation will turn into ashes.

It's a pity, hateful, and pitiful.

After a while, Cheng Yu bowed and said bluntly: "Lord. Yuan Shao is too selfish. If the lord throws all his troops in Hebei, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will not be grateful and will make fun of him. If the offense and defense reverse, the lord should send most of the elite troops back to the Central Plains, leaving behind 50,000 troops and helping Yuan Shao."

"Zhongde said," Guo Jia nodded heavily. Yuan Shao is really not a person in personnel affairs, so it is better to look at him than to help Yuan Shao.

Now that they are fighting in Hebei, the Central Plains are relatively empty. Let’s talk about it before you can defend your basic foundation.

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded, indicating that he understood.

............

In the morning, Anyi City.

After Xu Huang received news of the new movements of Cao's army, he put on his armor and went up to the city wall to watch.

The Cao army in the south, east, and west of the city are gathering towards the north of the city, and the Cao army camp in the north of the city is expanded.

A little smile appeared on Xu Huang and Yan Yi's face.

His place is different from Taishici. When the war started, Taishici won for a while, and then he was able to learn about the truth and reality of the south through Shenpei.

He was surrounded by Cao's army and was completely isolated from internal and external news for three months. Now the arrangement of Cao's army has changed.

It proved that there was a change in the south, and he could also send spies out and get in touch with the court again.

"The situation has changed, we have defended Anyi. Cheer." Xu Huang said with a smile to the personal soldiers beside him.

"No." The personal soldiers responded with a loud bang and turned around.

Not long after, the soldiers on the city cheered quickly and spread to the city. The soldiers and civilians in the city cheered thunderously.

It's been three months, three months, and it's really hard.

.............

Under the night.
