Naturally, Zhang Chong was unable to learn the details of the Hedong War from military reports.

But no matter how history changes, Zhang Chong has never ignored Dong Zhuo, knowing that no matter where he is, he will stir up huge waves thousands of feet and frighten everyone.

And now, this man has led the Hedong Army to join the Kansai Army. No matter what his reasons are, it can be known that the war between the two capitals is still going on.

With the Hedong Army threatening the north of Luoyang, Luoyang simply did not dare to attack Hangu Pass with all its strength from the front.

After making this judgment, Zhang Chong became more determined to take this action. This time he not only wanted to relieve Handan, but also captured Julu. Now that the confrontation between the east and the west is intensifying, it is time for him to step up the integration of forces in Hebei.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chong called the generals and made the following arrangements for the offensive on the second day.

…

The next day, the drum beat three hundred times.

This was the first all-out attack after the main force of the Taishan Army moved north to Handan. As soon as the battle began, the Taishan Army launched a full-line attack on the ten-mile flanking road constructed by the Julu Army.

Handan City was built based on the main structure of Handan, the capital of Zhao at that time. The city is composed of two parts: the palace city and the Guo City. The Palace City is composed of three small square cities in the shape of a pin, and the Guo City is six miles long from east to west and ten miles wide from north to south.

The previous four major camps of the Julu Army were located at the four gates of Handan. Naturally, the corridors were built around these four camps, with a circumference of thirty miles.

Naturally, such a long road cannot be built by the Julu Army in such a short time, but they do not need to build it so long. They only need to build three or four miles on each side as military stations, and then directly connect the military stations with horse-repelling trenches.

But even so, this stretch of road is still ten miles long.

Once Zhang Chong decides to launch a general attack, he will naturally strike with thunder.

He appointed Yu Jin as the commander-in-chief of the former army, responsible for the siege of the Taishan Army on all sides, and then appointed Cai Que as the commander-in-chief of the east, Chen Huan as the commander-in-chief of the south, Zhang Da as the commander-in-chief of the north, and Xu Zhong as the commander-in-chief of the west, each commanding two battalions of thousands of soldiers.

.

As the champion of the entire army, once the Zhonghu Army starts fighting, they will naturally not be able to defeat the Julu Army.

The Julu Army can be regarded as a powerful force of the Han Army in Hebei, and its officers and men have generally accumulated rich experience in the battle with the Yellow Turbans in Hebei.

But again, no matter how much low-level experience is accumulated, they are still vulnerable to real masters. After only three moments of fierce fighting, a loud shout came from the camp to the west of the Julu Army.

"The enemy general Guo Xun was killed by Han Hao!"

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the military flag flying by the Julu Army on the corridor to the west was cut off and fell down.

Xu Zhong, who was in charge of the command outside the corridor at that time, heard this and said half with joy and half with envy:

"This Han Hao is really lucky. Unless I am a general and cannot come in person, how can I make this boy uniquely beautiful?"

Han Hao was one of Xu Zhong's generals. He was originally a local strongman recruited by the Han army in Hanoi.

Later, the Han army in Henan and the Taishan army sued for peace and gave up everything in Hanoi. These Han armies went south in embarrassment.

At that time, Han Hao was the leader of a powerful army with hundreds of people. Once the Han army left, what could they do? They could only surrender.

Therefore, the Hanoi heroes Han Hao, Yang Chou and Hao Meng all led their troops to surrender.

Later, after studying in the military academy, these three people were sent to the Central Guard Army to become captains.

But this Han Hao is indeed extraordinary. While Yang Chou and Hao Meng were still playing in the team, Han Hao had already taken the lead in accumulating merit and became the general.

And this time, he was the first to kill a general and capture the flag in front of General Chongtian. It can be said that he has a bright future.

Sure enough, when Han Hao killed Guo Xun of the Han army, Zhang Chong clearly noticed the progress here, surrounded by three battalions of assault cavalry not far away.

So Zhang Chong asked Dong Zhao curiously:

"Who is that? He is a good man."

Dong Zhao is now the commander of the inner camp of the Flying Military Academy, commanding an internal flying army of 500 people. He naturally knows the details of the army.

So he got the information about this person from Yi Feijun's return, and turned to Zhang Chong and said:

"Commander Qu, this person is Han Hao, the front line commander of the Zuo Xiaowei Division of the Central Guards Army. He led thousands of people to join the army after the Battle of Chaoge."

Zhang Chong nodded and expressed that he had some impression of this Han Hao. It seemed that he was a great general under Cao Cao in history. The specific details were not clear.

But these are all in the past and future tense. The way out depends on this person now.

After keeping Han Hao in mind, Zhang Chong continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.

After the west side was captured by the Taishan Army, the other Taishan generals obviously accelerated the pace of their attacks. It was obvious that Han Hao's ability to kill generals and capture the flag stimulated the main attacking generals on other routes.

Not long after, the Taishan Army reported another good news:

"General Zhang Kai, a subordinate of Cai Que, the general on the east route, came to the throne first and killed the Han general Wei Liang."

This time there was no need for Dong Zhao to introduce Zhang Chong to Zhang Kai. Historically, this man was the Yellow Turban general who killed Cao Cao's father. In this life, he surrendered to the army when he led the Taishan Army to Wugudi.

At that time, Zhang Chong also recorded this person's name in his "Dianjianglu", which specifically recorded some military officers who he thought had a promising future.

Most of them are military officials who have made a mark in history or have proficient martial arts at a young age.

Zhang Kai had always been a confidant of Wang Han of Heji. When the Central Guards Army first transferred Zhang Kai to the Central Guards, Wang Han was still unwilling and refused to let him go.

But later he realized that this was what Qu Shuai meant, so Wang Han didn't dare to shout any more.

This time Zhang Chong remembered the incident again when he heard Zhang Kai's name.

After Zhang Chong realized that the Heji base was gradually becoming unhealthy, he successively transferred out the Heji generals.

Originally, the four generals of Heji were Xi Shen, Wang Han, Heifu, and Ma Wu. Now Xi Shen has been transferred to the Feibao Army as the commander, and Ma Wu has been transferred to the Tiande Army as the commander.

The only four generals left were Hei Fu and Wang Han. Although these two generals were not transferred, their important generals such as Guo Song and Zhang Kai were transferred, and their establishment was transferred to the Central Guard Army.

Is there any dissatisfaction in the Heji area with this operation? There certainly is.

But now that everything is going well for the Taishan Army, Zhang Chong's authority and prestige are also becoming more and more powerful, so these transfers are very smooth.

And Zhang Chong also casually scattered the looming mountain top.

Returning to Zhang Kai's capture of the flag in front of him, Zhang Chong had a different meaning.

He said to Li Huan in the accounting office next to him:

"Han Hao and Zhang Kai who ascended first will be given the second grade of merit."

Li Huan then followed his horse and wrote two merit documents, which were completed with just a swipe of his pen.

This Li Huan defected to the Taishan Army after the Taishan Army took root in the land of Wei and Zhao. It turns out that this man was a member of the Li clan in the northern part of the Zhao land.

It's just that Li Huan was just a collateral member of the clan and was rarely eager to learn. He learned the art of fortune-telling by selling firewood in the market. Later, he learned the art of fortune-telling from the Cui family of Qinghe State.

However, similar to Duman's experience, Li Huan did not have any chance to become an official after receiving his education, so he could only return to his hometown to farm the land to make a living.

After the Taishan Army captured Handan, this man walked south with several of his classmates to join the Taishan Army.

The person stationed in Handan at that time was Zhang Dan.

Li Huan also had good luck. When he appeared in front of Zhang Dan with his eyes covered with dust and dirt, and even the straw sandals on his feet were worn out, he said that he was a scholar and wanted to join the army.

Zhang Dan immediately fell in love with this man's simplicity, so he recommended him to Zhang Chong.

At that time, Zhang Chong had a passage to test Li Huan's words. At that time, Zhang Chong asked:

"Where are you from?"

Li Huan replied:

"My servant is Zhao Guoping, a thorny man. He works and studies in the field."

Zhang Chong asked directly:

"Do you know me?"

Li Huan gathered his clothes and bowed down:

"The general's holy virtues are bestowed upon him by heaven. He is a benefactor in all directions, and a dragon walks like a tiger. How can a servant not recognize it?"

Zhang Chong now felt a little convinced that this man was a scholar.

People who don’t read a little bit can’t say something like this.

So Zhang Chong tested Li Huan's talents and knowledge:

"Since you are both a scholar and a worker, what are your strengths?"

Li Huan knew that this answer was very important, so he wrote out the draft he had prepared:

"A servant knows ignorance and darkness. He seldom studies classics and history. He has been wasted and forgotten over the years. Even if he is ten years old, he still understands six."

Zhang Chong nodded, and asked a few more relevant questions casually. Judging from his level, he saw that what he said was good, and he felt that he could be a civil servant.

At that time, there happened to be a piece of handwriting to be written, so Zhang Chong asked Li Huan to try it. He dictated it and Li Huan wrote it.

After Zhang Chong finished speaking, Li Huan also wrote a handwritten letter.

After reading it, Zhang Chong felt very satisfied. The writing style was simple, the expression was clear, and there were no fancy words, but this was what he wanted.

Therefore, Zhang Chong asked Li Huan to be his scribe. Of course, Li Huan was not the only scribe around Zhang Chong.

In fact, as the Taishan Army truly took root between Wei and Zhao, no one in the North could ignore this new force entrenched up and down the river.

Although the policies of the Taishan Army are bad policies for powerful people, they are very attractive to the middle and lower classes.

A handful of brave knights at the bottom left their homes and went to Yecheng to seek refuge. Some poor scholars also came to join the Taishan Army on foot or on mules and donkeys because of their ambitions.

For these people, they have knowledge but no power, and ambition but no opportunity. In the original world, they could only die in the mountains or die miserably in the fire. But the emergence of the Taishan Army allowed them to see a brand new path.
