Chapter 76: Take It With Potential
It will be much more convenient to arrange manpower after the countermeasures are determined.
Han Fu basically obtained Pan Feng's consent when choosing military generals on the expedition, because Pan Feng knew the abilities of his generals better than him. In terms of the equipment of accompanying scholars, Han Fu followed Ju Su's suggestion and brought out Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others.
With civil and military combination, military generals lead troops to protect the city, scholars join forces with local officials to appease the people and stabilize people's hearts. If possible, they can help military generals come up with ideas to resist the bandits in the Black Mountains.
Finally, it was decided to let Zhang He and Tian Feng lead 10,000 horse and infantry troops to Wei County, Qu Yi and Shen Pei lead 10,000 infantry to Changshan Kingdom, and Pan Feng himself took Guo Jia to lead 20,000 horse and infantry troops to Zhongshan Kingdom.
The southwestern Zhongshan Kingdom is a key plundering area of the Heishan Army, so Pan Feng brought 20,000 troops over. As for the cavalry that accompanied the army, if something happened to Changshan Kingdom, it could also support it at any time, including the cavalry led by Zhang He who went to Wei County.
The 40,000 troops from the Jizhou camp were dispatched together, and the local garrison troops of each county, Pan Feng felt that even if he could not enter the mountains to eliminate the Black Mountain bandits, he could rely on the city to intimidate the Black Mountain troops who still wanted to advance east.
As for the direction of Zhaojun, because there was Gao Lan, no troops were sent.
After assigning the tasks, Zhang He and Qu Yi and others left excitedly, even Tian Feng and Shen Pei were surprised.
The two have been sitting on the bench for a long time. They thought they would not have much of their share in this action, but Han Fu would agree with Ju Su's suggestion and put them up.
When Tian Feng and Shen paired up with Ju Su to express their gratitude, Ju Su bluntly stated that it was Pan Feng who did Han Fu's ideological work privately, and Han Fu agreed to the two of them join the army.
This made Tian Feng and Shen pair Pan Feng's senses much better.
......
As the battle was about to go, Pan Feng went home and greeted Zhang Lan and others. Zhang Lan and others were sensible. Only the little girl Han Ying held Pan Feng's arm and was filled with tears.
In fact, Pan Feng has also known Han Ying’s previous appearance these days, but Han Ying’s rudeness has never been shown in front of Pan Feng.
This made Pan Feng sigh that the best way to conquer a woman's heart is to conquer her body.
None of the women in the backyard could withstand Pan Feng's output. Even Han Ying tried to beg for mercy, completely ignoring his own face.
"General, the weather is so cold, how can my father let you go to war at this time!" Han Ying hugged next to Pan Feng like a kitten, with tears in her eyes and reluctant to part.
"You don't need to worry. This expedition is just a garrison and defense, not a military force against the Black Mountain Army." Pan Feng touched Han Ying's head docilely.
The biggest difference between this girl and Zhen Jiang and the others is that she is willing to let go and acts spoiled.
Because of the huge disparity in family status, Zhen Jiang and others respect Pan Feng more than love. Even if Pan Feng comforts them, there is no obvious change. Han Ying has no burden. She basically says whatever she says to Pan Feng, and occasionally she will use her spoiled skills to deal with her father Han Fu to deal with Pan Feng.
As the saying goes, a woman who can act spoiled is lucky.
Han Ying is pretty and can act coquettishly. Not to mention that Pan Feng can't stand it, even Zhang Lan is often made of laughter by her, and she can't show the majesty of the main palace in the backyard.
It’s a pity that Han Ying is only worth 100 points.
No one can shake Zhang Lan’s status!
After comforting Han Ying, Pan Feng still led the army to fight.
After Pan Feng left, Han Ying came to Han Fu's mansion angrily. When the servant said that Han Fu was in the study, he rushed over quickly.
At this time, Han Fu was practicing calligraphy in the study room. The affairs of the Heishan Army made him feel a little unhappy. Writing was also a common method for Han Fu to relieve his worries.
With the ink stroke, Han Fu gradually became better. The brush in his hand moved faster and faster, flowing water, and finished in one go until...
"Bang!"
The door of the study was violently pushed open, Han Fu shook his hand, and a brush stroke, a black and thick ink trace ruined all artistic conception.
"Who...uh...Ying'er, why are you here?" The anger on Han Fu's face came and went faster.
"Dad, how could you let General Pan go to war in the cold winter? Do you still let him celebrate the New Year at home?"
Han Ying's mouth was pouting, and when she thought about having to celebrate the New Year in a deserted year just after entering the mansion, she couldn't get better.
My mother Chen Shuang said that once you enter the Pan Mansion, you don’t have to come to the Han Mansion to celebrate the New Year. Now that Pan Feng has left, there are only a few women in the family, how can you lively this year?
When Han Fu heard that Han Ying was doing this, he smiled bitterly: "Ying'er, you have wronged him as a father."
"The black bandits came while the cold was coming, and the soldiers of the counties could not resist it. I had no choice but to let my son and them lead the troops to defend. Otherwise, most of the people in the western part of Jizhou would not be able to have this year."
Han Ying also understands the truth, but is she here to reason?
"Dad broke up and waited for me to wait for a good New Year. What's the difference between it and the Black Mountain bandit! Humph! The mediocre master!"
If Han De or Han Ren said this, Han Fu would guarantee to smooth out their dog heads, but Han Ying would say it differently.
Han Fu wanted to curse a few words, but when he saw Han Ying's pitiful appearance, he could only swallow what he said.
"Well, the situation in Zihe is stable. I will send someone to send you there and let you and Zihe celebrate the New Year there. Is this OK?" Han Fu said helplessly.
"Hehe, I knew Dad was the best."
Han Ying's face became faster than reading, and he jumped to Han Fu's side, and took Han Fu's hand with one dad on the left and one dad on the right, which made Han Fu laugh.
......
Just as Pan Feng and others led the army to set out one after another, Yuan Shao, who lived in Hanoi, also received the news.
In Yuan Shao's mansion, a group of civil and military officials gathered together.
On the top of the head, Yuan Shao took a letter and looked at it carefully, showing a smile from time to time.
"My lord called me over. Maybe something good happened in Jizhou, right?" Xu You said with a smile.
The joy on Yuan Shao's face could hardly be hidden. In addition, now that his troops are strong, Xu You concluded that something happened in Jizhou would make Yuan Shao so happy.
Sure enough, Yuan Shao nodded happily: "I just sent the letter to our mansion. I realized that Han Fu sent all the troops of Jizhou to defend the rebellious Black Mountain bandits. Now, there are almost no troops available in Jizhou except for some defenders in each city. If we advance at this time, we will definitely be able to capture Jizhou in one fell swoop!"
The opportunity that is so dreamy about is right in front of you, how could Yuan Shao not be happy!
However, when the words were not over, a scholar with extraordinary demeanor stood up and opposed Yuan Shao's ideas.
"The lord must not advance at will."
Everyone looked at it and found that it was Xun Chen, the counselor who had been in favor for a short time.
As a child of the Xun family in Yingchuan, Xun Chen naturally had no need to say much about his talent. When he came to join Yuan Shao, in order to show his importance to him, Yuan Shao personally went out of the city to greet him. Xun Chen was moved and vowed on the spot that he would die for Yuan Shao.
After Xun Chen surrendered, he was grateful for Yuan Shao's knowledge and began to hand over letters to the children of the clan, recommending them to come to Hanoi to surrender Yuan Shao, and bluntly stated that Yuan Shao was a wise monarch and that if he missed this village, there would be no store.
Xun Zhan's letter also received some responses, including his younger brother Xun Yu.
Xun Yu was also quite famous among the Xun family. Xun Chen expressed his happiness and told Yuan Shao the news.
Yuan Shao heard Xun Chen say that Xun Yu was a hundred times more talented than him. Although he knew that this was an exaggerated metaphor of Xun Chen, he was inevitably secretly happy. In addition, he received a lot of letters from Jizhou during this period, Yuan Shao's heart gradually swelled.
The princes' confrontation with Dong was just a show for the whole world to see. Only Han Fu, a nerd, would do his best to fight Dong Zhuo to the death. He would take those false names.
As long as there are more and more capable people under your command, it will not be easy to take over Jizhou at that time!
There is a good opportunity right now, but Xun Chen opposes that Yuan Shao should be more generous.
"How can friends say this? At this time, most of the troops in Jizhou are concentrated in the western region, and the central and eastern regions are almost empty. If we advance, we will definitely be unstoppable. We missed this opportunity. I don't know when the next time will appear." Yuan Shao said.
Xun Chen did not answer Yuan Shao’s question as soon as possible, but said cautiously: “Can you let me read the letter next?”
"Of course, you can watch it casually."
Yuan Shao handed the letter to Xun Chen.
Xun Chen held the letter and looked at it for a while, and finally smiled like Yuan Shao.
After handing the letter to Xu You and others next to him, Xun Zhan smiled confidently.
