Chapter 9 The Frontier of the Army

Gao Cheng listened to the voice coming from above and thought to himself that as far as he knew, Dong Zhuo had heavy troops in Hedong County, guarded by the governor Niu Fu, and the Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang and Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang was in average. He hoped that they would have no hope of attacking Meng County, and even if they were lucky enough to enter Mengjin, they would still have to face the Yellow River barrier.

Xuanyuan Pass on the southern road is narrow in terrain and is not suitable for deploying a large army, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Only the places where the coalition forces of the princes can exert their advantages in sending more generals are the only places in Sishui and Hulao.

At this time, Yuan Shao's eyes swept over everyone and said in a deep voice: "Two days later, the army will move westward to Sishui. Sun Wentai is extremely brave and powerful, and is a vanguard general! Gao Ziming has a strategy and is a deputy vanguard. I hope that the two of them can break Sishui and make contributions to the army!"

When the many princes in the tent heard this, they were stunned and couldn't help but look at Yuan Shao and Gao Cheng. Among the heroes, Sun Jian's ability to lead troops was recognized as the strongest. Whether it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion that year or the subsequent battle of the Han Dynasty in the siege of Xiliang, he participated in it and made great contributions.

Not to mention that he repeatedly wiped out rebellions and put down one side after being the prefect of Changsha. As long as he was a well-informed force, he had heard of his reputation and had no doubt about his abilities.

The second is Gongsun Zan. His elite troops repeatedly defeated the barbarians in the northern border and were also very strong, but most of his subordinates were cavalry. At present, he was attacking the Sishui Huzhu and could not use cavalry for the time being.

Who is Gao Cheng? He is just a prefect of Lujiang who has little reputation. What qualifications are there to be the deputy vanguard of the army? Tao Qian and Liu Bei knew Gao Cheng's ability, while the other princes thought for a while and understood. Just now, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and others didn't like Gao Cheng very much.

Now that the other party is suddenly appointed as the vanguard, it is probably because of the idea of ​​killing people with a knife, the prefect of Lujiang hit the Xiong Pass of Sishui. Dong Zhuo's troops are very fierce. Even if Gao Cheng does not die, most of his troops will be lost.

Han Fu, who was under Yuan Shu, thought of this situation and smiled and said, "The leader of the alliance, Gao Ziming came from Lujiang, and the soldiers had not yet rested, and his subordinates had only 20,000 troops, which was probably not enough to threaten Sishui Pass. Why not let the Wentai set out first, and wait a few days later, let Gao Ziming lead the troops to support him?"

Han Fu intended to relieve Gao Cheng's pressure, and he did not dare to refute Yuan Shao's military orders head-on, so he wanted to help from the side so that Gao Cheng had time to rest and recuperate his soldiers so as not to get tired of the soldiers.

Yuan Shao smiled faintly on his face, and did not respond positively to Han Fu, but instead turned his eyes to Sun Jian and said, "The Wentai has been running all the way from Changsha. I wonder if he dares to take the position of vanguard?"

Sun Jian was not so scheming. He traveled thousands of miles from Changsha to the Sour Zao Alliance in order to completely enhance his fame and make the Sun family a famous family in the world. Yuan Shao asked him to act as a pioneer, which was exactly what he meant.

Hearing this, he stood up suddenly and said with a sigh: "The leader of the alliance has an order, how dare I disrespect me? Please rest assured that I will enter Sishui this time and will teach Dong Zhuo to know the power of our army!"

"Okay! Wentai is brave and will not disappoint me. Ziming, I wonder if you would like to send troops with Wentai?"

Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at Gao Cheng. The meaning was very obvious. Changsha County where Sun Jian was located was far away from Jingzhou. In terms of distance, he could serve as a pioneer. Why couldn't Gao Cheng, the prefect of Lujiang, take the lead?

"Yuan Shao really respects me!"

When Han Fu, Yuan Shao and Sun Jian were talking, Gao Cheng looked unmoved. He was as clear as Yuan Shao's plan. If the timeline did not change much, the general Hua Xiong under Dong Zhuo should be guarding Sishui Pass. This man is strong and famous in Xiliang, but he did not take Hua Xiong into consideration.

His current realm has reached the sixth level of the innate level, with a complete explosive power, comparable to the peerless strong man in the ninth level of refining the Gang. Such strength and ability are comparable to that of Lu Bu.

Apart from Lu Bu, no matter who under Dong Zhuo takes action, he will only have one failure to face Gao Cheng and Sun Jian.

At this time, Yuan Shu also understood the meaning of Yuan Shao's general, and couldn't help but sneer, looking at Gao Cheng with a gloating look.

Gao Cheng ignored this guy, he stood up lightly, bowed and said, "I'm taking the order!"

He accepted the order very simply, then nodded to Han Fu, showing his friendship. Han Fu sighed slightly when he saw this. Gao Cheng was also a native of Jizhou. If he just turned into the battle formation, it would be a bit okay. Thinking of this, he turned around and saw Gao Lan beside him, and his heart suddenly moved.

After discussing the strategy of advancing in the big tent, many princes said goodbye one after another. Among them, the princes who acted as suspicious soldiers began to mobilize their troops and left the sour jujube respectively.

In the military camp, Gao Cheng brought Chen Da, Zhou Tai and the others back, and Xi Zhicai and Chen Jiao came up. At this time, they had already known the advance strategies discussed by many princes.

"I didn't expect that Yuan Shao was so hostile to us! I can't figure out that we are far away in Lujiang and have nothing to do with the Yuan family in Runan, why did he target the envoys like this?"

The five people sat down, and Chen Jiao asked in confusion on his face.

Xi Zhicai held a piece of white jade in his hand and smiled and said, "Don't worry about the reason for this first time. The targeting of this Alliance Leader Yuan gave us a chance. Sun Wentai is extremely brave and powerful, with elite troops. With him in front of us, we don't have that much pressure at all. Moreover, Shu Zhi and Youping are both extraordinary generals. If we don't go out rashly, our army will never be surprised!"

"And as the deputy vanguard, the status of the vassal coalition has been greatly improved in an instant. As long as we make some contributions, our goal of coming to the jujube will be achieved!"

Chen Jiao thought about it. As an army member, he knew very well about the strength of the 20,000 Lujiang Army who went north this time. He just looked around and found that most of the soldiers and horses under the command of the other princes were strong men, and they were all mobs. With 20,000 of their 200,000 people, they could defeat the 200,000 army of the 200,000 princes head-on.

Such strength ranks at the forefront among the princes. In addition, Sun Jian’s elite troops who have fought in the south and north for many years, and the two soldiers and horses are the front line together, why are they afraid of Dong Zhuo’s Xiliang soldiers?

At this time, Zhou Cang reported outside the tent: "Lord, a general under the command of the Mu of Jizhou is looking for a meeting outside!"

Gao Cheng felt aroused, and he quickly got up, walked out of the camp to greet him. As he thought, the person coming was Gao Lan, a general under Han Fu.

"Zi Ming has met his brother!" Gao Cheng bowed and bowed. According to the seniority of the Gao clan of Bohai, Gao Lan belonged to his clan brother. However, the relationship between the two had already reached five times, and the real relationship was not that close.
