Xue Ti sighed: "Zhendong claims that Kong Beihai is the prefect of Qingzhou. Regardless of whether Kong Beihai will respond or not, it is better than General Yuan by just this one!

Among the people present, except Zhou Zhuo, the rest were not too close to Yuan Shao, so Xue Ti dared to criticize Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan as the prefect of Qingzhou in front of so many people.

"Employing nepotism" is actually a common practice among the feudal lords in the north and the south. Xun Zhen also did the same, but in contrast, Xun Zhen emphasized military power and political power, such as the appointment of the chiefs of the counties and states under his jurisdiction. , he didn't do that "too much".

It stands to reason that the Xun clan has passed down the family through Confucianism, and there are many famous people in the clan. There are many people who can manage government affairs and are also qualified to take charge of a county. There were only two people who came out, and among them, Xun Chen's Jiujiang prefect was ordered by the royal court's eight classics, and Ruo Xuncheng's Taishan prefect was just a transition. Liu Ru, the prime minister of Pi, plus Handan Rong, the prime minister of the East China Sea, and Yao Sheng, the prime minister of Pengcheng, are his old friends and officials. The other three are Wang Lang, the governor of Guangling, Chen Deng, the prime minister of Langya, and Zhang Hong, the prime minister of Fuling. It was Xuzhou scholars who voted for him only last year. At least his performance can make the scholars who voted for him, or who haven't voted for him yet, feel that they have a future and feel that they have a future with him. From this point of view In other words, Xue Ti's sigh was correct, and it could be regarded as enhancing Xun Zhen's political appeal.

Xue Ti was young, and the city was still not deep enough. Someone like Cheng Li, who was in his fifties, was scheming, but would never comment on Yuan Shao's behavior in public. Touching his beard, he knew that Cao Cao definitely didn't want to do this, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "Zhendong represents Kong Wenju's Tattoo State. It seems that he is indeed going to use troops in Jinan."

Zhou Zhuo agreed and said: "Wen Juxi and Zhendong's clan father, Sagong Xun, were friendly, so Situ Wanggong was governor of Yuzhou. , and Wenju are definitely old acquaintances, and now he represents Wenju as the provincial governor of Qingzhou. He thinks that Wenju will not respond. Maybe in a few days, he will ask Zhendong to help fight the Yellow Turbans. Now, Zhendong will not be short of troops. excuse."

Chen Gong said, "It's already mid-spring, and the weather is thawed. If Zhendong uses troops, we can't predict this month. Duke Ming, our army can prepare in advance." Otherwise, it will be easier to attack Dongping and Rencheng with his amazing army."

Xu Chu and Cao Cao were fellow villagers. After Cao Cao took the prefect of Yanzhou, he heard about Xu Chu's brave name and knew that most of Xu Chu's minions were warriors, so he sent people to Qiao County to recruit him, hoping that he could bring the crowd to vote, but he was rejected. Xu Chu declined.

Xu Chu, Li Gan, and Li Tong are the three most famous separatists in Yan and Henan. From the fact that they attached to them, most of the people were locals, just like Li Tong’s subordinates could not decide whether to vote for Sun Jian or Xunzhen, even if Xu Chu was willing to move his family from Yuzhou to Yanzhou , will those parts of him be willing? Therefore, even though he and Cao Cao were from the same town, Xu Chu could only temporarily refuse.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Brothers Bo'an and Zhongkang have known people from our county for a long time! So if you can't come to Yan, I know that it's not the original intention. The part is nostalgic for the country."

Zhongkang is the character of Xu Chu, Chu, Chu, Kang, chaff. The name and the character are combined together, which means grain storage. Xu Chu is more than eight feet long, and his waist is ten circumferences. He eats several catties of meat. Hao Xia, there is very little grain storage in his family, and his body is like his name, and he can "store grain" very well; Bo An is the name of Xu Chu's elder brother Xu Ding. Xu Dingyong is not as famous as Xu Chu, but he is also a well-known Tigers.

Cheng Li agreed with Chen Gong's words and said, "The public platform is very true. Ming Gong, it is true that preparations have been made earlier."

In order to confuse Xun Zhen and prevent Xun Zhen from judging that his true intention is to attack Dongping and Rencheng, Cao Cao's main force is still in Gucheng and Linyi, and he needs to be transferred to Shanyang. When Zhenfa troops invaded Jinan, they could immediately enter and besiege Rencheng and other places.

Cao Cao nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "The troops and horses in Gucheng can't move. Tomorrow, the parts that will be transferred to Linyi will sneak south in batches and enter Juye and Jinxiang." After a pause, he said again, "Wait. After the movement of the part is completed, you can go to Dingtao from me.”

A winter has passed, and the number of yellow turbans in Jibei and the northern part of Dongping has increased again. Due to lack of food, some yellow turbans in Jinan and other places in Qingzhou have entered Yanzhou. There are more than 300,000, of which, excluding the old and weak, women and children, there are more than 100,000 capable warriors, and there are also 40,000 to 50,000 old soldiers. This is an extremely unstable enemy force. It can be foreseen that the shortage of grain in the Yellow Turbans will not only not improve in the short term, but will also worsen. In order to prevent them from advancing westward and harassing Dongjun, Gucheng is an important place in the east of Dongjun and on the east bank of the Yellow River. Cao Ren's department must not move. .

Dingtao is the county seat of Jiyin County.

The reason why Cao Cao did not go with the main force to Juye and Jinxiang in Shanyang, but to Dingtao, was because Jiyin was located between Dongjun, Chenliu and Shanyang, and the distances from Dingtao to these three counties were similar. Cao Cao sits here, and can more conveniently dispatch, or in other words supervise, these three counties, so as to provide the frontline with favorable supplies and supplies of food, equipment, and troops.

Compared with Xun Zhen, Cao Cao's biggest disadvantage now is not that he has a small territory, but that he cannot call his subordinates like Xun Zhen.

Although due to several reasons such as Yuan Shao's influence, his relationship with the county governors, and the dual threats of the Yellow Turbans and Xun Zhen, Zhang Miao and others supported him more strongly than Liu Dai earlier, but they also supported him. It’s just a little bigger. It’s obviously impossible to let the counties smash the pot and sell the iron to support him. Otherwise, with the manpower and material resources of the counties in Chenliu, why can’t the north set the Yellow Turban and the east can’t control Xuzhou? Therefore, while Cao Cao commanded the battle, he had to devote his energy to coordinating the counties.

A few days later, the main force of Cao's army in Linyi quietly moved south to Juye and Jinxiang.

The state army temporarily led by Bao Xin, except for Xuchang, who was still garrisoned on the north bank of Wenshui~www.wuxiaspot.com~, also concentrated on Shouzhang on the south bank of Wenshui, ready to attack Li Zan and Jiang Hu at any time. Dongping Lu and Ningyang attacked.

So far, Cao Cao's military deployment has been completed.

The general purpose of this operation is to recover Rencheng County and Dongping County. The strategic position of Rencheng County is more important than that of Dongping. Therefore, in the order of operations, Cao Cao decided to "take Rencheng first and then fight Dongping". The specific tactical arrangement is as follows: : First, Bao Xin led the main force of the state troops, and the puppet and Cao Cao encircled Ningyang together to transfer Liu Bei and Chen Bao to divide their troops to help. Then, the main force of Cao's army took advantage of the falsehood to attack Rencheng County. After Rencheng County was captured, the main force of Cao's army went north again to meet Bao Xin attacked from the north and south, taking Ningyang and Dongpinglu, thus completely expelling the forces of Xuzhou.

The arrangement for the use of troops in Rencheng is as follows: the main force of the Cao army in Juye and Jinxiang is the main attacking force, and the soldiers from Chenliu and other prefectures are the countermeasures, and they are stationed in Gaoping in the south of Rencheng County and on the east bank of Sishui, where they are responsible for blocking. The task of Xuzhou reinforcements in the direction of Hexiang; Li Tong of Cheng's and Jiang Qi of Linqiu are the reserve teams. Li Tong is mainly preparing to assist the battle in Rencheng County, and Jiang Qi is the general reserve team of the entire Yanbei and Rencheng battlefields. , from the northeast of Linqiu can help Shouzhang, the west can help Rencheng, in case the Yellow Turbans take the opportunity to storm Gucheng, you can also help Gucheng from the north, in whichever direction there is an emergency military situation, he will be sent to which direction.
