Chapter 919: The Question of Commanding Reinforcements
What reassured Huangfu Chaobo was that judging from the proceedings, there was nothing unusual about these generals. Only then did Huangfu Chaobo feel relieved. He turned to look in the direction of Shi'a and said, "General Shi, what's going on with the reinforcements in Yuzhou? And what information is coming from Luoyang? What's the current situation of the various princes?"
"Reporting to my lord, my subordinates have already contacted Ge Yang. As early as the day the messenger arrived in Ge Yang, General Wang Ran had already contacted Governor Kong. Then Governor Kong sent General Yingchuan Guo to lead 10,000 troops. , 20,000 soldiers went to Geyang to obey the order. At the same time, General Huangfu Li, the commander of Chen Guozhenwu Camp, personally led 20,000 soldiers of Zhenwu Camp, and 20,000 soldiers of Chen Guo rushed to Geyang, as well as 20,000 soldiers of Runan. We have already set off for Geyang." Shi A bowed and replied;
When everyone heard that Yuzhou had mobilized another 90,000 troops to support them, they all became excited.
Huangfu Chaobo stretched out his hand to stop the noise in the hall and said to Shi A: "Continue!"
Shi A nodded and continued to report on the reinforcements. Among these reinforcements, 20,000 Runan County guards had successfully crossed the river at noon yesterday and arrived at the Huainan camp. The other two groups of rear horses will also arrive in the next few days. Within ten days at the latest, the troops and horses will be ready, and they can send troops to Anfeng, and attack Ji Ling's army with Yu Lou and others. Of course, the premise is that Ji Ling still stays here honestly.
In addition to the 90,000 troops sent by Yuzhou, there are actually tens of thousands of troops that the Anton Army can mobilize in Huainan. Calculated in this way, the number of troops sent can almost exceed 100,000. However, there is another problem. Whether it is the reinforcements sent by Yuzhou this time or the generals left behind in Huainan, no one can command an army of more than 100,000.
In fact, strictly speaking, except for Huangfu Chaobo, no one in the Anton Army can truly command an army of more than 100,000 people. Because in the game, only generals above the third-grade, four-an, and four-level generals are qualified to command an army of more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands, while the maximum number of troops for a fourth-grade miscellaneous general is only 40,000 troops.
For example, in the Anton Army, except for Huangfu Chaobo's third-rank general Anton, the other highest ranks are the fourth-rank thief general Huang Zhong, Yingyang general Zhao Yun, and backbone general Xu Rong. The following are Dian Wei and Hua Xiong. , Zhang He and other generals with miscellaneous titles from the fourth rank.
Huangfu Chaobo understood what Shi A meant. In fact, he already had a suitable candidate, and he had reached an agreement with Pang Tong and Guo Jia last night. After Shi A tactfully raised this question, Huangfu Chaobo smiled and waved his hand and said: "I have already made arrangements for this matter. General Shi will continue."
Shi A only helped raise the issue of Ge Yang's generals. As for his lord's arrangements, that was not his decision.
Then he told everyone about the situation of the armies of various princes. After the army set off from Geyang, because the army had been marching, unless it was very important information, the Shadow Guards stationed in Geyang usually sent messages every five days. Once intelligence reached the army, the army was trapped in a tight siege, and then there were successive battles, which almost cut off the intelligence for more than ten days.
Therefore, no one is very clear about the information about the princes of the world. First of all, there was news about Cao Cao's army and Sun Quan's army. What surprised all the generals was that when Ji Ling led an army of hundreds of thousands to fight to the death with his own army, the two princes unexpectedly stopped their attack and turned their attention. Placed on the territory occupied before stabilization.
The two families divided the Xiapi and Guangling counties of Xuzhou with the Huai River as the boundary. Later, they successively transferred tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from their respective territories and arranged them in the newly occupied cities to stabilize their rule and claim to the outside world. The soldiers have been fighting for a long time and need to rest for a while before fighting again.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the two families want Ji Ling and An Dongjun to fight to the death, and in the end they will benefit. The generals of the Anton Army were very angry about this, but there was nothing they could do. You know, I did something like this before.
As for the other princes, there were no big moves, they were basically just small fights.
However, the next piece of news reported by Shi A caught Huangfu Chaobo's attention, that is, after Lu Bu's army captured Dai County, they did not continue to attack Youzhou or Jizhou, but instead reduced some of their forces to Yanmen County, and then Start delivering grain and grass to Yunzhong and Dingxiang.
Upon hearing the news, Huangfu Chaobo was stunned. It seemed that Lu Bu had begun to prepare for the Western Expedition so that his Bingzhou Mu could live up to his name.
Afterwards, Shi A introduced the situation of the other princes, but Huangfu Chaobo didn't even pay attention.
After Shi A's introduction, Huangfu Chaobo said: "As for the generals who will lead the reinforcements, I decided to send General Huang Zhong to Geyang to take charge of the reinforcements." As he said that, he nodded at Huang Zhong. Seeing this, Zhong quickly stood up and took the order.
Just when the army was thinking about who should be responsible for the defense of Yulou County after Huang Zhong left, Huangfu Chaobo said again: "Zhang He listens to the order!"
Zhang He was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what he was doing. He quickly stood up, performed a military salute, and said, "Wei will be here!"
"After General Huang Zhong left, the defense arrangements for Yulou County were left to the general."
After hearing this, Zhang He was very excited and quickly bowed and said: "Please rest assured, my lord, within two months, Yulou City will definitely be impregnable."
Huangfu Chaobo nodded and said: "Okay, I will wait and see!" After saying that, Huangfu Chaobo turned to look at the others and said: "General Zhang He has always had military exploits. This time he led the troops to attack Yulou. He is brave and brave. Therefore, I will entrust him with the defense of Yu Lou, and all other generals must cooperate fully. If there is any violation, I will not give him any mercy!"
After everyone listened, they didn't understand that Zhang He had been reused by their lord. However, Zhang He was indeed very capable, brave and resourceful, and could shoulder important responsibilities. Everyone was convinced of Huangfu Chaobo's decision. Seeing Huangfu Chaobo's explanation, they quickly They all stood up and replied: "The general has not accepted the order!"
After saying that, they all looked at Zhang He with envy.
Zhang He also clasped his fists and saluted everyone one by one, and everyone returned the salute.
Seeing this situation, Huangfu Chaobo knew that his purpose of training Zhang He had been achieved, so he said no more, "General Huang and the two military advisors will stay, and the other generals will discuss and arrange defense matters with General Zhang."
When Zhang He heard this, he immediately bowed and replied: "I will not leave!"
After saying that, he led the generals to leave and went to the city tower to discuss defense arrangements.
After everyone left, Huangfu Chaobo smiled and said to Huang Zhong, "I have to trouble my brother again."
"Don't dare to talk about hard work if you haven't done your job!" Huang Zhong said;
