"Oh? Are you also from Guangling?" Gao Cheng's eyes shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but feel aroused in his heart when he looked at the young man in thick clothes who called himself Xu Xuan in front of him.

He read the history books of the Three Kingdoms in the last world and of course he knew Xu Xuan's name. He was an important official of the Wei State who served in Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Rui. He served as the prefect, the Sili School Commander, and the Shangshu. He eventually served as the position that Xun Yu once held.

This future important official was just a warrior with the third level of training, and his mental power was no different from that of ordinary people. It seems that Xu Xuan did not obtain the practice method of Soul Refining Stream.

"Yes, I am from the western part of Haixi in Guangling!" Xu Xuan said respectfully.

Zhang Zhao already knew that Tianwu County could be preserved these days, which was all due to Xu Xuan's contribution, and he had a great favor to the young man in front of him.

He couldn't help but say, "Zi Ming, Xu Xuan has made great contributions to protecting Wu County. It is better to recruit him as the marching Sima. If he can make contributions in the future, he can also take this opportunity to become a pilgrimage official!"

Looking at Xu Xuan's clothes, you will know that he is from an ordinary background. If no one supports him, it will be difficult for him to enter the official career in the future. It happened that Gao Cheng also came from Guangling. At this time, he promoted the village party and accepted a good talent.

Zhang Zhao's words hit Gao Cheng's thoughts. He immediately smiled and said, "Zibu's words are reasonable. Baojian, Xuzhou is in chaos now, are you willing to help me clear the thieves with your help?"

Xu Xuan had a hint of embarrassment on his face and glanced at Chen Guan beside him. This time he came to Wu County. He originally wanted to defect to this friend he met and then find an opportunity to make contributions to serve as a minor official in the county. Unexpectedly, he encountered the Yellow Turban bandits attacking the city, and even the county magistrate was killed. In the critical situation, he stood up and commanded the county to defend the city bravely.

Now Gao Cheng makes a call for me, which is a good opportunity to make contributions. Xu Xuan is already moved by this, but after seeing Chen Guan, he can only hold back his emotions. After all, he is still Chen Guan's disciple now, and if he just left like this, he would seem a little ruthless and unrighteous.

"Baojian, this is a good opportunity! You agree quickly!" Chen Guan's eyes flashed with jealousy, but on the surface he looked anxious to think about his friends. These days, Xu Xuan was just an ordinary citizen, who could command the county heroes, and people saw his strong abilities.

If he continued to stay in Wu County, wouldn’t it be that as a county magistrate, he was not as useful as a commoner? Where is his face and authority? Let Xu Xuan leave early so that the two can still leave a relationship.

When Xu Xuan heard this, his face changed slightly, and he seemed to notice something in his heart. His face changed for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "General Gao is so kind, how dare I not respond! Xu Xuan, the subordinate, greeted the general!"

Gao Cheng laughed and said, "Okay! From now on, Xu Xuan will be the marching Sima of my army!"

The marching Sima was a void in Gao Cheng's place. He did not lead troops directly, but was similar to an aide who followed him to make suggestions.

At this time, the weapons and armor left behind by the defeat of the Yellow Turban soldiers were swept away by the army under Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng looked at the tens of thousands of captive Yellow Turbans. These people were taken into custody by thousands of soldiers, kneeling on the ground like quails. Some of the injured Yellow Turban soldiers were wailing on the ground. Most of them looked panicked and didn't know what the official army would do to them.

"Zibu, Baojian, County Magistrate Chen, what should you do about these prisoners?"

Chen Guan said without hesitation: "Of course, they are all killed to serve as a warning! I heard that General Huangfu handled prisoners like this when he was in Yuzhou!"

As soon as he said this, Zhang Zhao and Xu Xuan's face changed, and Pei Yuanshao, who was not far away, showed anger on his face. He stared at Chen Guan tightly, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and did not jump out and kick him to death.

Although Zhang Zhao hated that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was raging to Pengcheng, he could not make up his mind to kill all these prisoners. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and said, "Brother Ziming, in my opinion, it is better to send someone to take these Yellow Turban prisoners into custody. When the Steak Qiu is captured, we will deal with it!"

Xu Xuan was born in an ordinary family and had some sympathy for these Yellow Turban prisoners and agreed with Zhang Zhao's opinion.

Gao Cheng nodded and said, "Then do as Zibu wants! By the way, County Magistrate Chen, from the north of Wu County to the north of Stexiao, what dangerous place is there?"

Chen Guan thought about it and said, "Wuqiu goes north to Wu County, the most dangerous place is Baihu Mountain! This place is located in Wu County and is the only way to go north."

Zhang Zhao and Xu Xuan were moved in their hearts. Gao Cheng asked this question, as if he wanted to ambush the bandits in Baihu Mountain?

...

Baihu Mountain, where the forests are dense, with yellow leaves falling on the ground, almost burying people. Below the forest is the official road. Gao Cheng brought the army to the forest.

"Brother Ziming, are you planning to set up an ambush here? With such a simple plan, those Yellow Turban thieves will not be fooled, right? As long as they send people to explore the horses, they can easily find us. I see that Baihu Mountain is only close to the official road, and the mountain is flat, not the dangerous place that Chen Guan said!" Zhang Zhao asked.

At this time, Gao Cheng took Jiang Qin, Pei Yuanshao, Xu Xuan and others to stand on the top of Baihu Mountain and observe the terrain downwards. As Zhang Zhao said, Baihu Mountain is not a famous mountain and river, with a height of only a few hundred feet, and it is impossible to hide tens of thousands of troops strictly.

He heard this and smiled and said, "The Yellow Turban Thiefs are just a group of mobs. The simpler the plan, the more useful it is! We are not waiting for death in Baihu Mountain, but instead actively sending people to challenge the enemy! The deceptive defeated general, the Yellow Turban Thiefs, luring them here. At that time, all the ambushes will be released and they will be able to break the enemy outside the city!"

Only then did Zhang Zhao realize that the tens of thousands of troops under their command were newly formed, after all, new troops that had not been formed for a long time. If they were used to attack the city, they would definitely be seriously injured without siege experience. Only by finding ways to ambush the field can one play to its strengths.

Gao Cheng turned his head and looked at Jiang Qin and Xu Xuan, "Jiang Qin, Xu Xuan, you will lead five thousand soldiers to the Steamqiu to challenge the Yellow Turban soldiers. You can only defeat but not win. Be sure to lead the main force of the Yellow Turbans of Steamqiu to Baihu Mountain!"

"Pei Yuanshao, I will give you five thousand elite soldiers and ambush outside the city. If the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Steak Qiu is lured out, you can take the opportunity to capture the city!"

According to historical records, the Yanzhou Yellow Turbans that Cao Cao dealt with when he started his career was adapting to local conditions and never fought hard with the main Yellow Turbans. They were all simple strategies. In the end, they defeated the 300,000 Yellow Turbans with thousands of troops, and defeated the strong with the weak, laying the foundation for their rise.

Before Cao Cao, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was the heroic general and brave, fought hard with hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, and was eventually defeated and died.
