Yuan Shao's order was issued very quickly. Before he could discuss it with Jushu, Gao Lan was urged to leave by the urgent sound of the horn.
Hurrying to the school grounds, tens of thousands of troops have already gathered here. These are the troops that Gao Lan and Zhang Zha need to lead, while the troops that Feng Ji and the others want to lead are on the other two campuses.
Hundreds of thousands of people were assembled in the entire military camp, and there were eight in the school grounds alone to facilitate the mobilization of the army at any time.
When they arrived at the school grounds, Zhang Jia was already waiting on the general platform. Zhang Jia stood on the high platform wearing armor, quietly looking at the soldiers and horses quickly gathering below, with a look of silence that made it difficult for anyone to tell.
thought.
Stepping onto the general stage and standing next to Zhang Jia, the two of them were destined to be partners at this station. Their success or failure was tied together. Although there were no words, both of them could feel the solemnity in each other's hearts.
Although the two of them were responsible for the frontal attack, Guo Tu and others were responsible for the side attack. Under the supervision of these three opponents, it was really difficult for the two to break through Cao's camp.
Thirty thousand troops quickly gathered, and the entire school grounds became extremely silent. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the two people on the high platform.
Looking at the two silent people on the high platform, the hearts of the thirty thousand people were full of confidence. The prestige of Gao Lan and Zhang Zha among the army was clearly displayed.
"Let's go!" There were no heroic words or murderous shouts, but it made the 30,000 people in the audience feel excited.
The two walked down the general platform side by side. The soldiers had already brought horses for them. The two of them looked at each other and jumped on their horses. They waved their whips and arrived in front of the army in a moment.
On another school ground not far from this school ground, 50,000 soldiers and horses stood on the school ground, and there were more than ten people on the general platform. The leader was Guo Tu and Feng Ji.
.
"Haha, Gao Lan and Zhang Jia are the leading generals in this attack on Cao Ying. If these two men successfully attack Cao Ying, I think you two should know how we will fare in the future." Guo Tu smiled half-heartedly.
The way.
Feng Ji sneered and said: "You can just say what you want to say, why bother hiding it? We are not fools."
Although Shen Pei said nothing, he looked at Guo Tu with a slightly mocking look.
"Haha, if that's the case, then I'll just tell you." As he spoke, Guo Tu waved his hand to signal the dozen or so young generals behind him to step back. After a while, there were only three people left on the stage, and Guo Tu spoke again: "Gao
Both Lan and Zhang Jia are our mortal enemies. If these two people are allowed to attack Cao Ying, then all the credit will be taken by them. By then, the credit of Ju Shou, Gao Lan, Zhang Jia and others will be huge.
How can there be room for me and others in the entire Jizhou? And the reason why Ming Gong asked me and three others to serve as flankers, I think you two should understand what Ming Gong meant. If I fail to complete the task entrusted by Ming Gong,
From now on, there will be no place for us and others in Jizhou, so I would like to ask you two to give me a happy answer on how to decide."
After Guo Tu finished speaking, both Feng Ji and Shen Pei were silent with their eyes flickering. Guo Tu said it right. The most important reason why they were favored in front of Yuan Shao was because of Yuan Shao's important role. Yuan Shao needed people like them. If he and others
If Yuan Shao does not act according to his wishes, Yuan Shao can always find a replacement.
"You are right. At this time, we should put aside our prejudices and unite for the time being. We must capture Cao's camp before we open our jaws and Gao Lan." Feng Ji nodded.
Yuan Shao did not allow Gao Lan and Zhang Jia to attack Cao's camp, not because he did not want to attack Cao's camp, but because he did not want Gao Lan and Zhang Jia to attack Cao's camp. Although Yuan Shao's meaning was extremely obscure, everyone knew it clearly.
The three people were not worried about this. In their opinion, how could Cao Ying, guarded by tens of thousands of people, withstand the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops? With 10,000 Cao soldiers leaving this time, it would be easy to conquer Cao Ying.
"I am naturally extremely supportive at this time." Shen Pei's eyes flashed and she said with a smile.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. They all saw that the other party had evil intentions, but they didn't reveal it.
"The armies of the three generals, General Zhang and General Gao have left the camp." At this moment, a young general quickly walked up to the general platform and whispered.
"Oh, so fast." The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then sneered again and again.
It was so easy to rush to attack Cao Ying so quickly. He waved his hands to the young generals to retreat. The three of them walked off the general platform without any delay and walked towards the outside of the camp. Behind them, more than ten young generals commanded the army.
Followed by.
Fifty thousand soldiers and horses quickly divided into three groups and followed behind the three men.
……………………………………………………
Cao Jun's camp, since receiving the news of Yuan's troops' movements, the entire Cao Jun camp has been on alert. All the soldiers were called up and gathered on the school field. In front of the school field, dozens of generals looked solemn, but remained silent.
Silent.
Most people's eyes were intentionally or unintentionally glancing at a large tent not far away. This tent was being built tonight, and those who entered the tent were all the most prestigious in the entire army.
general.
In the big tent, Guo Jia was sitting at the top in civilian clothes, followed closely by Cheng Yu, Xun You and other four or five higher-status counselors. Opposite them were more than a dozen generals in armor.
Yu Jin, Le Jin, Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Xu Huang and others were among them.
"This battle is about victory or defeat, and there must be no mistakes. The Lord has entrusted all matters in the camp to me. All losses in the camp can be settled with one word. Do you generals still have any doubts?" Guo Jia
He looked at everyone and said.
Silence, silence!
After Guo Jia finished speaking, the big tent fell into silence, and everyone held their breath without any intention of questioning.
Seeing everyone like this, Guo Jiacai nodded without further explanation. This was not the time to explain: "General Yu led five thousand soldiers and horses to guard the east side of the camp. All soldiers on the east side of the camp are under the control of General Yu, even if they are
When I reach the east side of the camp, I will be under the general's command."
"No." Yu Jin was shocked and responded loudly.
"Le Jin, Li Dian, and Xu Huang each led five thousand soldiers and horses to guard the west, south, and north sides of the camp. All the people on these three sides were under the control of the three generals." Guo Jia looked at Le Jin and others and said.
"promise."
Le Jin and others also stood up and said.
"From now on, all the army will withdraw into the newly built camp." Guo Jia looked at several people and said.
"Nuo." Yu Jin and others looked surprised, with a touch of joy on their faces. The newly built camp was not far away from the four sides of the original camp, and another camp was built. This camp
It was four times smaller than the previous camp, and it was so strong that it could be called a fortress.
It may be difficult for five thousand people to guard the previous camp, but it is more than enough to guard the inner camp.
Yu Jin and others took the order and left, respectively leading five thousand soldiers and horses to guard the four directions. Suddenly there were a total of 20,000 people missing on the school grounds.
"General Zhang led five thousand soldiers and horses to stay here to prevent any changes." Guo Jia looked at Zhang Liao again.
"No." Zhang Liao said calmly.
Seeing Zhang Liao acting like this, Guo Jia nodded secretly in his heart. Zhang Liao was indeed calm rather than wise. If others had not been sent to guard the surroundings of the camp, they would have been unable to sit still. Zhang Liao's ability to be so calm shows how extraordinary he is.
Guo Jia looked at Wang Lang again and said: "General Wang is responsible for the food, grass and baggage in the camp. You will dispatch everything you need wherever you need it. Remember not to delay important events."
"No." Wang Lang nodded solemnly. Although there were only tens of thousands of people in the camp, which was far inferior to Yuan Shao's camp, there was a lot of food, grass and baggage in the camp. These must be recorded one by one.
In my heart, once there is a need, the supplies should be allocated in the shortest possible time.
Wang Lang was no stranger to this matter, but this time it was so important that Wang Lang didn't dare to slack off at all.
Guo Jia looked at Jiang Jida again: "General Jiang, you will lead a thousand people to carry out the casualties in the battle for treatment."
Jiang Ji was stunned at first, and then bowed to respond. Normally, the wounded would be treated after the battle, but Guo Jia's solemn explanation clearly meant that this battle was very likely for the wounded to come forward to resist again.
Yuan Bing.
Is the situation already so serious? Jiang Ji was horrified and inexplicable.
"The rest of the people will sit here with me to prevent any changes." Looking at the remaining people in the tent, Guo Jia said.
"promise."

Outside Shouchun City, banners were fluttering. Thirty thousand Jiangdong soldiers and horses had been staying here for ten days. During the ten days, thirty thousand Jiangdong soldiers and horses tried countless ways to break through Shouchun, but they were all repulsed this time.
.
On a hill, Sun Ce frowned and looked at Shouchun City not far away. At this time, Sun Ce was in an extremely bad mood. According to the news from Jingzhou, Jingzhou not only captured Hanzhong, but even Shangyong had been defeated.
Jingzhou was captured. The speed of Jingzhou's power expansion was beyond his expectation.
I originally thought that Jingzhou's attack on Hanzhong would lead to a stalemate with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, but I never expected that Zhang Lu would surrender to Jingzhou so quickly.
Compared with Jingzhou, Jiangdong raised its troops later. The impact of the last defeat on Jiangdong was too great. Although Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others tried their best to remedy the situation afterwards, the entire Jiangdong was still in a weak state, and it was precisely at this time that the Shanyue people once again
It took Sun Ce a full month to suppress the rebellion of the Shanyue tribe, and then he led the army north to Shouchun. He originally thought that it would be as smooth sailing as Jiangdong, but it backfired and blocked the way of the army in just Shouchun.
Although the army occupied several county towns where it passed, as soon as the army retreats, these county towns will surrender to Cao Cao at any time. Only by capturing Shouchun can the Jiujiang County occupied by Cao Cao be completely recaptured.
With Jiujiang County, Jiangdong has completely established a foothold in Jiangbei, and can then send a steady stream of troops to invade the hinterland of Cao Cao's power. At this time, Sun Ce has given up his thoughts of immediately competing with Jingzhou. He wants to
What they want to do is to quickly develop the power in Jiangdong. Except for Jingzhou, they can only develop in the north of the Yangtze River. Only by capturing Cao Cao's territory can the power in Jiangdong be developed rapidly.
At this time, Cao Cao mobilized almost all his troops to fight against Yuan Shao, and had no time to worry about Jiangdong. He originally planned to attack Jiangbei while Cao Cao had no time to worry about Jiangdong, but he did not expect that he would stop the Jiangdong army in one Shouchun.
