Chapter 992

Less than a day after Zang Ba and his party left, a 10000 strong Cao army appeared where they had been. It was Cao Charlie who arranged to pursue them. Unfortunately, they didn't catch up with Zang BA's rout in the end. After carefully examining the other party's whereabouts, the leader had no choice but to withdraw to Mou county.

The war in Taishan county has finally come to an end. Except for Gaixian, feiguo, nanwuyang and Nancheng in the southeast of Taishan, the other eight cities are under Cao Charlie's control. Then Cao Anmin and Qingzhou army left Taishan county and returned to Changyi to reply to Cao Cao. It was strange that Liu Ye continued to stay in Taishan County under the protection of dozens of personal guards. It seemed that he was discussing something with Cao Charlie.

On the 18th of the first month, Huangfu Chaobo's 5000 cavalry arrived in Hanoi. However, he did not enter Hanoi city. Outside the city, he joined Huaxiong's 5000 Xiliang cavalry and his own guards, and immediately turned East. More than 10000 cavalry marched in the direction of Wude. Behind them was the infantry of 10000 baotao camp. According to Huangfu Chaobo's arrangement, Huaxiong would lead them Fifteen thousand troops of baotao camp were stationed in dangyin, ready to support Wei county at any time.

All the way to the East, Huangfu Chaobo just made a hasty inspection tour in each county, but the main places, such as military barracks, city defense, and government treasury, were the places he focused on. Even so, it took more than ten days for Huangfu Chaobo to complete the inspection of several counties to the east of huaixian county.

Later, he turned back again, walked along the edge of the foot of Taihang Mountain, all the way to the southwest, passed mengmengmengguan and tianjingguan, and then returned to huaixian county. After continuing to inspect the cities of Hanoi to the west of huaixian County, Huangfu Chaobo once again set foot on the path of Fuguan and entered Hedong.

At this time, it was in mid February, less than a month before Huangfu Chaobo's scheduled dispatch, so Huangfu Chaobo had to speed up his journey again, and finally arrived at Dayang County on the North Bank of the river in early March. Then the army crossed the river in Maojin and entered Hongnong from Shaanxi county.

At this time, Huangfu Chaobo didn't care that Huyang city and qinhangu pass in the west of Hongnong didn't make an inspection, so he led 5000 bodyguards back to Luoyang City in a hurry, and finally rushed back to Luoyang City before dark on March 5.

This round of inspection took Huangfu Chaobo nearly two months to inspect the two counties of Hedong in Hanoi. However, Huangfu Chaobo was also very tired. However, as Tian Feng and Lu Zhi said, Huangfu Chaobo felt that he was worthy of this trip. After a round of inspection, the morale of the people, the army and the loyalty of the officials of the three counties in Hebei Province were different It's going up.

On the day of his return to Luoyang, Huangfu Chaobo did not care to have a rest. After a quick dinner, he immediately gathered people to discuss the matter. First, he wanted to know about the situation of the vassals in the world during this period of time. Second, he wanted to know how the war was about to start and how the preparations for all the supplies and troops were going.

Soon, all the people summoned by Huangfu Chaobo rushed to the general's house.

After they saluted Huangfu Chaobo, he waved his hand and said, "well, we must be more polite. Time is short. Let's talk about it one by one. Shi ah, is there any change among the princes in the world at last? "

After Shi a got up and gave a salute, he said: "report back to my Lord. The news from the shadow shows that all the major forces basically have signs of troop mobilization, and the specific situation has been sorted out and handed over to commander Guo."

"What's the change of Cao Cao's army?"

"Cao Cao's troops have been mobilized since the end of last year, but the shadow guards can only know the general situation. At present, Cao Cao has concentrated a lot of troops on both the East and West lines. I don't know if he has got the news that our army is about to attack, but he still wants to attack in his normal defensive situation."

When Shi a said this, he looked at Guo Jia in some embarrassment. After all, he was only responsible for collecting intelligence. He had to ask Guo Jia for specific analysis. Seeing this, Guo Jia quickly got up and said, "this matter will be reported to the Lord in detail."

Huangfu Chaobo nodded and looked at Shi'a again.

"What's more important is that Liu Bei's army of Changsha suddenly dispatched troops on January 16 and captured Guiyang. Zhao fan, the prefect of Guiyang, died. His subordinates Bao Long and Chen Ying were defeated and captured. Then they surrendered to Liu Bei's army. With the help of the two generals, Liu Bei took all the eleven cities of Guiyang within one month."

Huangfu Chaobo was stunned. He didn't expect that Liu Bei would rise again so soon. It's worthy of Liu Paopao. He ran from the northernmost Youzhou to the southernmost part of the Han Dynasty. In a short year, he miraculously rose again.

Shaking his head, Huangfu Chaobo shakes off his mind about Liu Beijun and looks at Shi'a again.

"Another thing is that Zang Ba, who disappeared after Cao Charlie occupied his old nest, suddenly appeared in a place called santing town in the south of Linqu in Beihai a month ago, and then sent someone to ask Ju county for surrender. Xu will report this matter to you in detail later. "

After hearing this, Huangfu Chaobo said nothing more. He waved to him to step down first, and then turned his eyes to Xu Shu: "how are the troops and supplies prepared?"

"Lord Hui, all the troops have been in place one after another, except the 5000 cavalry around you. What's more, all the garrisons collected by the counties have been put in place. How can we arrange for your follow-up orders? "Seeing that Huangfu Chaobo didn't open his mouth, Xu Shu went on to say, "the supplies of grain and grass are also continuing to be transported. So far, he has sent 100000 stones of grain, 20000 stones of grass, and 200 carts of other supplies."

"About Zang Ba, Luoyang received a pigeon letter from Cheng Huan, the Prime Minister of Beihai, a month ago. Because the Lord has been in the process of rapid inspection, we discussed the matter and gave an order to Beihai, asking Zang Ba to lead his more than 3000 troops and hundreds of family members to temporarily settle in santing town and wait for the Lord to return before making a decision."

After a little meditation, Huangfu Chaobo said: "order Zang Ba to send all his family members to Luoyang, and let their generals and soldiers join Xu Rongjun to listen to Hou's dispatch, and make arrangements for the supplement of troops and horses after the war. By the way, Zang Ba leads the post of Zhongying general, and the others are all captains. Tell Zang Ba that Ben will wait to see their performance. "

The war is coming. Huangfu Chaobo has no time and energy to deal with Zang BA's request for surrender. Now he doesn't want to think that you don't really want to surrender. He simply says that he wants the other party to send his family to Luoyang. As for the arrangement, it depends on Zang Ba's performance. Up to now, Huangfu Chaobo was not afraid of Zang BA's agreement with Cao Cao, so he came to surrender. Now he was on the verge of an arrow and had to send it.

With that, Huangfu Chaobo's hand continued to wave, indicating everyone to continue.
