On April 5, Huang Zhong led the army to attack the county town of Jiguo, which was originally a county in the northeast of Jiangxia county. It was isolated from the northeast corner of Jiangxia county with Xiyang County. Because of the barrier of Tongbai mountain and Dabie Mountain, it was not closely connected with other cities of Jiangxia.

A few years ago, after Yuan Shu's army took control of Huainan, it took control of the three counties on the east side of Tongbai mountains and put them under the rule of Lujiang County.

After Yuan's army lost the southern part of Runan last year, he sent Yue to the state of Chou to take charge of defending the attacks of Anton's army and Yuzhou's army. However, after being attacked by Anton's army, the army finally crossed the huaishui river.

It has been nearly half a year since Le Jiu entered the county seat of Chou state. In this half a year, because of the war experience of Runan, Le has already known the strength of Anton's army. Therefore, after arriving at Chou state, in addition to training, it is to strengthen the defense of the city. Of course, in addition to Chou state, the situation of other cities is the same.

So when Huang Zhong led the attack, he found that the defense ability of a small county town was no less than that of a small county town. Although the scale of the city was still at the county level, its defense ability could be compared with that of a small county town.

After arriving at the foot of Panguo city and carefully observing the situation of the city, Huang Zhong did not attack immediately, but went on step by step like attacking a big city.

First, the surrounding moats were filled, and then the siege equipment was prepared. In the step-by-step attack, the soldiers of the battalions and schools of the Anton army and the Yuzhou army were arranged by him to attack the city in turn. In fact, all the departments of the Yuzhou army were veterans, but there was still a big gap between them and the other departments of the Anton army in terms of strength. After more than half a year of reorganization training, they already had a big gap Progress, however, has not yet been achieved. The troops and horses are not as powerful as the rest of the Anton army.

This time he attacked Huainan, Huang Zhong was just ready to train all the soldiers and horses in the battalions of the Yuzhou army. Yue in the city of Chou also understood Huang Zhong's thoughts, but he had nothing to do. He had only 15000 troops. Although Chou county was not big, Anton's troops were more than 100000. If all the troops took turns to attack, Yue would have caught up.

Finally, on the morning of the 15th, the county town of Chou, which supported the 10th, was captured. Nearly 8000 Yuan Shu soldiers were killed and injured, and 5000 guards were almost killed and injured. Huang Zhong's army killed and injured more than 20000 people. However, not all of the 20000 troops were killed, less than 10000 of them were killed, and the rest were injured. In addition, Anton's army treated them in time, and most of them passed the battle The ten days of recuperation can basically be restored.

Apart from the thousands of Yuan Shu soldiers who died and were seriously injured on the spot, more than 2000 of them were treated by Anton's army. The remaining 6000 or 7000 soldiers were basically slightly injured and could be recovered in three or five days.

At this point, the county seat of Panguo was captured by Huang Zhong, and lejiu himself was injured and arrested. Huang Zhong just arranged for someone to deal with the wound, and then he held lejiu in solitary custody until Huangfu Chaobo returned.

After five days' rest in the county seat, Huang Zhong ordered Han Xian to lead 10000 troops to defend the county. After that, he led 60000 troops including Huang Wudi, Wang Ran, Wang Yong and Zhang Ying to attack the county. As for Huangfu Chaobo's guards, they were still stationed in the camp by the river to defend his big account and wait for Huangfu Chaobo to return.

The attack of Jian County is much simpler than that of the state of Chou. There are only 4000 garrisons. Although it is much better than the garrison of Yuzhou in Runan, there is still a certain gap between it and the elite soldiers selected by Yuzhou army. After more than four days of fighting, Strider county was also successfully captured.

Just at this time, they received a report from the camp express that Huangfu Chaobo had led the troops back, so Huang Zhong and Pang Tong handed over the affairs of Strider county to Huang wudiezhu. Then they and Pang Tong rushed back to the camp under the escort of cavalry.

After listening to Huang Zhong's introduction, Huangfu Chaobo also had an understanding of the fighting power of Yuan Shujun's city guards in Huainan. It seems that the war in the future will not be easy.

Just as he was thinking about the war in the future, Huang Zhong suddenly said, "general, you need to think about it earlier."

Huangfu Chaobo was stunned. He looked at Huang Zhong and said, "what's the matter?"

"The arrangement of military and political personnel in Lujiang County!" Huang Zhongdao;

originally, as a subordinate, he was not in charge of these things, but fortunately, he had a special relationship with Huangfu Chaobo, and he was not a person with a strong desire for power, so it was not a big problem to remind him. In fact, Pang Tong also reminded Huangfu Chaobo about this matter, just because Kong's subordinate didn't have much to offer It's too obvious if people are transferred directly from the Antong army. For example, Huang Zhong and others took so many detours to make arrangements in Yuzhou. Now, the personnel arrangement in Lujiang is really a headache.

However, the situation is better now. Huangfu Chaobo has already got five famous general cards. At least there should be no problem with the general of the combat battalion in Lujiang.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly found Kong Xin, Kongzi's nephew. He helped him a lot at the beginning, and he had to arrange a better position for him in order to make him feel better. Just after Lujiang County was occupied, he could let Kong Xin serve as the commander of the barracks, and he could win two things at once. It can not only confuse the sight of the other vassals, but also arrange Confucius.As for the choice of Lujiang's prefect, Huangfu Chaobo considered it over and over again and decided to appoint Liu Chengzu, an aide of Kong Rong. After Kong Rong joined Huangfu Chaobo, Liu Chengzhen joined him and then worked under Tian Feng to help him deal with his political affairs. According to Tian, Liu Chengzu was really talented. He once served as a county magistrate in Beihai for several years, and then entered the prime minister's office of Kong Rong He is talented enough to be a guard of any county.

It's just now that Lujiang has just conquered several counties. Let's try to transfer Liu Chengzu. It's easy to say that Liu Chengzu was not well-known. He only served as an official of the county magistrate and the prime minister's office. He said that because he knew him and knew his talents, he asked Huangfu Chaobo for him.

For today's game, only the army needs to be controlled in the hands, and the role of Taishou is not so important. Therefore, in the view of others, the barracks of Lujiang are controlled in the hands of kongxin. Even if Taishou comes out of Anton's army, it doesn't mean anything.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo said to Shi A: "general Shi, you can send someone to send an order to Yangzhai and Luoyang, and order Liu Chengzu and Kong Xin to come to Huainan as soon as possible."
