In fact, not only Cao Xing, but also other people, especially the generals at the rank of military commander, were somewhat aggrieved by Lu Bu's move.

Lu Bu also knew that he was a little too hasty in promoting Xu Huang in this way, but Amo said that Xu Huang's generals were not inferior to Wen Yuan, and they were all the five good generals under Cao Cao in history, and had made great military exploits for Cao Mengde.

Lu Bu didn't know how good Cao Mengde's so-called five good generals were, but Zhang Liao's abilities were there. Among his generals, his commander was one of the best. Xu Huang could be compared with Zhang Liao, which showed that he was really good.

With this ability, Lu Bu couldn't bear to let him start from the bottom step by step. Moreover, Xu Huang's predecessor was the general of Baibo Army. Now it is most suitable for him to lead these Baibo soldiers.

Of course, in order to make rewards and punishments clear, he had previously told Xu Huang in private that if he performs meritorious service next time, he will offset the Sima position awarded in advance this time, and there will be no other rewards. Xu Huang also happily agreed, so these generals

His dissatisfaction will naturally be offset when Xu Huang shows his results next time, so Lu Bu pretends not to know now.

He stood up and walked to the hanging map, and began to make tactical arrangements for the remnants of this defeat.

"This group of thieves is now divided into two groups. The first group is led by Hu Cai and Li Le. They have a combined force of 10,000 and are stationed in Xuushi County, south of Changzi City."

"The second Yang Feng group, with a force of almost five thousand, occupied Gaodu County, south of the Huns. Gaodu County is located at the north entrance of Taihang County. It is an important crossing for the Shangdang to enter Hanoi County. Controlling Gaodu County is to strangle

The choke point for our army to enter Hanoi."

Lu Bu sat back from the map and said, "You must also know that Hanoi County will be under my rule in Bingzhou. There are two main roads into Hanoi from Bingzhou, one is the Taihangxing I just mentioned, and the other is Hu

The pass leads to Gongxian County in Hanoi and Baixing in Chaoge."

"Baixing is now in the hands of the Black Mountain Army. Compared with Bai Bo, the Black Mountain Army is more difficult to defeat. Therefore, the Baixing Road is currently unworkable. If our army wants to successfully enter Hanoi, it can only open up Taihang County."

He looked at the three people below him and said, "This time he cannot bypass Hu Cai like last time. Li Le goes directly to attack Yang Feng. He needs to push across from north to south. Although the number of enemy troops is not as large as that of Guo last time, it is still more difficult.

Not too small. The Shangdang currently has Yu Fuluo's three thousand Xiongnu cavalry, Han Lai's thousand flying bear troops, and some county soldiers. I plan to let Yu Fuluo's brother Hu Chuquan lead two thousand Xiongnu soldiers to join Han Lai.

, help defeat thieves."

After Lu Bu analyzed the situation, he looked at Cao Xing and said directly, "Cao Sima, you will lead another two thousand people over. This time, you will be the main general and attack Huan County head-on."

After hearing Lu Bu's analysis, Cao Xing felt a little hesitant in his heart. This battle was very important to Bingzhou and there was no room for mistakes. If he couldn't win it for a while, it wouldn't be as simple as having no merit and no fault. This would affect the lord's success.

Come down and take over the affairs of Hanoi County.

However, he had already asked for merit before, and the Lord also called his name, so he had to go even if he didn't want to do this.

Cao Xing stood up and clasped his fists, "No!"

His answer was obviously not as confident as before. Lu Bu thought for a moment and then said, "I also asked Captain Gao to send a team to Zhiguanxing, enter Hanoi County from Hedong County, and enter Qinyang at the southern end.

Taihangxing, I will attack from the north and south together with you. Taihangxing must be cleared within one month. Is Cao Sima confident?"

This battle must not be delayed for too long. Otherwise, after Yuan Shao has levied taxes and emptied the warehouses of Hanoi counties, he will have to pay the salaries of officials at all levels in Hanoi. He will not be able to levy taxes again. Therefore, the best tactic is to use the troops stationed in Hedong County again.

Soldiers, block the southern passage of Taihangxing from behind. Even if the city cannot be broken, the blockade can still block these Baibo thieves in these two cities.

After hearing Lu Bu's arrangement, Cao Xing's eyes lit up and he immediately became confident and said loudly, "Don't worry, my lord, the general will definitely live up to his mission."

Lu Bu nodded, "Today we are calling the troops. I will have people prepare food and fodder. We will send out troops the day after tomorrow. We must open up Taihangxing within a month at the latest."

"No!" Cao Xing responded excitedly and left the tent to order troops.

…………

Cao Xing attacked from the front, and Gao Shun attacked from behind. Lu Bu's tactical arrangement was perfect. However, he ignored the counties in Hanoi, or Yuan Shao's hostility towards him. Gao Shun's troops reached Jiguan, and were captured just as they were about to enter Hanoi County.

People were blocked outside, and the people blocking them were not officers and soldiers or bandits, but a group of common people.

"As long as the Prince of Hanoi is the county guard in Hanoi, the state troops are not allowed to enter Hanoi County!"

"Most of Bingzhou's troops are Dong Zhuo's former troops. They commit crimes including burning, killing, looting and looting. They must not be allowed to enter Hanoi County!"

“Don’t enter Hanoi!”

“Don’t enter Hanoi!”

…

Under the scorching sun, Gao Shun looked at the emotional and hostile crowd blocking the road. He didn't know what to do for a moment. If they were officers, soldiers or bandits, he would just take action. However, if he had a fight with a group of unarmed civilians today,

If there is a conflict, this matter will definitely be expanded infinitely by those who are interested, making the people of Hanoi even more hostile to the Bingzhou Army.

"Do you have any misunderstandings about my Bingzhou Army? The Bingzhou Army has not touched the people at all since it followed Luzhou Mu. This time it is also for the purpose of pacifying the bandits. Please let them go!" Gao Shun dismounted his horse and said to him

The leading old man bowed his hands and explained.

The old man looked sideways at Gao Shun and snorted coldly, "In the past, Dong Zhuo's troops were digging the emperor's tomb in Luoyang, robbing the tomb, raping women, burning, killing and looting. The Dong thieves drove the people away and even burned the entire city of Luoyang.

, these things are known to everyone in the world, what’s the misunderstanding?”

Gao Shun said, "That was Dong Zhuo's doing, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Wait, you were not Dong Zhuo's soldier before?"

Gao Shun choked and was speechless. After a long time, he said dryly, "Military orders cannot be violated!"

The old man deliberately misinterpreted it and sneered, "Jun? Do you still have Jun in your eyes?"

A messenger next to Gao Shun argued, "The person who dug up the emperor's tombs, robbed the tombs, drove out the people, and burned Luoyang was the current cavalry general Li Su. It makes no sense for you to blame this crime on my prince. My prince

He is not the same person as the Dong thief, otherwise he would not be regarded as a rebel by the Dong thief, and he would not be able to return to Chang'an, so he would have to come to Bingzhou, a poor place."

The herald looked at the old man with a mocking face, "Since you all hate the old Dong thief so much, then Li Su in Chang'an is the real remnant of the Dong thief. He has done so many evil things for him. Why don't you go to Chang'an to defend yourself?"

Now it was the old man's turn to be speechless, but he was stunned for a moment and then started to act like a rogue, "Anyway, the Bingzhou Army is not allowed to enter Hanoi. If you want to force your way through, just step over our corpses."

"You old man is so unreasonable. Do you really think I won't dare to take action?"

The old man put one hand behind his back and stroked his long gray beard with the other, with a calm expression on his face, "Wait, old man!"

The herald glared at the old man angrily and wanted to argue, but Gao Shun raised his hand to stop him, "This old man must have been ordered by someone, no matter how much he talks, it's useless."
