There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

After stumbling to Yang County, Cao Canjun, the soldier sent by Wang Yi, the prefect of Hedong, had already led the army of [-] counties in Hedong, waiting for Qu Yi and others here.

The soldier Cao Canjun was in his prime, with a thin and straight face, and a long beard under his chin, without any wind, and the accompanying guards behind him held the weapon for him, which was a great axe.

"Under the Tent of the Prince of Hedong, the soldier Cao Xuhuang is ordered to welcome you here."

Chapter 152 Hedong Bingcao

Hearing Xu Huang's self-reported family name, the pottery merchant felt a little excited.

In the recent period, I have seen quite a few capable people: first Qu Yi, then Xu Huang.

Xu Huang served Yang Feng first in history, and then Cao Cao, but before serving Yang Feng, Xu Huang served in Hedong County.

In fact, it is right to think about it, Xu Huang is an official in Hedong, if Yang Feng is still the identity of a Baibo thief, how could Xu Huang abandon his official status as a government official and follow the thief?After all, no matter how small an official is, he is innocent, and it is unreasonable to seek refuge with bandits. Therefore, the time Xu Huang followed Yang Feng should have been after Yang Feng joined the warlord Li Jue and obtained his official status as an official.

Bing Cao's participation in the army is one of the six Caos under the jurisdiction of the county guard, and the establishment of the six Caos can be increased or decreased according to the needs of the county guard. If there are many, it doesn't matter how many soldiers you want to set up.

And in such a position that can be filled with multiple personnel, Xu Huang was still sent by Wang Yi to Qu Yi's army as a guide. It is enough to know that Xu Huang has already emerged among the people under Wang Yi's command and is highly regarded.

Xu Huang had reserved a place for Qu Yi's troops to set up camp in the east of Yang County. After Qu Yi and others set up camp, everyone gathered in a tent to discuss strategies for dealing with Yu Fuluo.

After Yu Fuluo was expelled by the Southern Huns, he led his soldiers and horses into the Central Plains without a source of supplies, so he plundered and harassed the land of Hedong all the year round. Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Hedong County represented by Xu Huang, Yu Fuluo can be regarded as the first in the area. A great evil.

There is a map of the terrain near Hanoi in the big tent. Xu Huang pointed out the location of Yu Fuluo for everyone, and explained: "Yu Fuluo, most of them are grassland soldiers. Tibetan spring hunting, in recent years, every spring, they will plunder and harass Yang County as the center. The inferior people help the princes and build fortifications in Hedong many times, but Yu Fuluo has always been easy to go. It can be defended, the east cannot defend the west, it is a headache."

Speaking of this, Xu Huang paused, and said again: "General Qu, although I know the place where Yu Fuluo's troops are stationed, but his subordinates are basically horse troops. If we are getting closer now, Yu Fuluo will definitely They will move away immediately, the Huns are good at running around, we chase after them, it is really passive, to put it bluntly, before the Huns are dispersed, we drive ourselves away first.”

Qu Yi frowned when he heard the words, and said: "Xu Bing Cao Jiu followed the king's mansion to defend Yu Fuluo in the east of the river, and he knew his true strengths and weaknesses. Just like Bing Cao said, Yu Fuluo is not easy to catch."

Xu Huang nodded, and said, "Those who travel east and west are the most difficult to deal with."

"It's not completely impossible." The pottery merchant suddenly said from the side, and said slowly: "To deal with this kind of enemy who likes to fight guerrilla warfare, there are actually only a few methods."

Qu Yi, Xu Huang, and even Han Hao all turned to look at him in surprise.

But the pottery merchant coughed lightly, and said: "To deal with the guerrilla army, it is nothing more than a divisional campaign. The so-called division is to distinguish the areas where the guerrilla army is active. Even nomads can do it. The little prince's guerrilla raids should not be aimless. He has plundered in the east of the river for so many years. Where is the wealth, where is the smooth road, where can be replenished while plundering? Think about it, imagine that you are Yu Fuluo, if you want to lead a crowd to swim and contain, how will you plan the route and area."

Speaking of this, the pottery merchant turned his head to look at Xu Huang with a smile, and said, "Brother Gongming has nothing to do with this matter. After all, in terms of familiarity with the boundary of Hedong, the three of us and brother Gongming But it's incomparable."

Hearing the pottery merchant call himself "Brother Gongming", Xu Huang was a little terrified. He was just a member of the governor of Hedong County. Although the other party was white, he was the son of Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. Limited.At least compared with myself, it is not on the same level at all.

"My lord is really being polite, but Huang can't be called elder brother. Since my lord has orders, Huang should try my best to do it. What you said just now, your insights are quite unique, and you really live up to the name of Mr. Taiping."

The potter's smile suddenly froze.

Mr. Taiping

It seems that Yuedanping's evaluation has begun to spread in various states and counties. This vulgar title of scum, it seems that it will become its own label nickname for a long time.

It's really a dog.

The Tao merchant grinned reluctantly, not wanting to communicate with them too much about the title of Mr. Taiping, and then changed the subject, saying: "Brother Gongming, you are welcome, Tao has always only respected his talent and disrespected his position. With your ability, you are worthy of my title of elder brother."

Xu Huang secretly wondered, although he was quite confident in his ability, but now he was still not well-known, why did he seem to agree with his own ability after hearing what this Mr. Taiping meant?

Qu Yi pondered for a while, and said: "The Xiongnu have no fixed place, and it is very difficult to catch them coming and going like the wind, especially the way they gather and disperse is quite difficult. At that moment, they will gather into a fierce army, but in a flash In the meantime, they will turn into herdsmen scattered in the sky again, and it takes one hit to catch them, otherwise it will be quite time-consuming."

The potter said with a smile: "That was on the Mobei grassland, and there are grasslands and rivers everywhere, but in our middle land, it is not easy to do this. People may still be hungry, but the horses that support them are not easy." It is determined not to suffer."

Han Hao nodded in agreement and said, "As Mr. Tao said, as long as Xu Bingcao plans the water source basin and large grassland around Yang County, we can calculate the approximate guerrilla route based on Fuluo."

The so-called one word wakes up the dreamer, everyone can't help but nod their heads in agreement.

After discussing and agreeing, Qu Yi and Han Hao went to deploy soldiers and horses first, and the pottery merchant asked Xu Rong to also go to assist the two of them.

As for himself, he stayed in Xu Huang's barracks, helping Xu Huang to check the water source and grassland concentration near Yang County on the map, and deduce the guerrilla route that the Huns might take.

In fact, the pottery merchant didn't know anything about the geography near the east of the river, he just wanted to find an excuse to stay here.

The reason why he stayed on purpose was for Xu Huang.

It is said that it is possible to infer the marching route of the Huns, but once it is implemented, it is an extremely delicate task. Xu Huang stayed in the tent until midnight before roughly analyzing the three possible marches of the Huns during guerrilla attacks. route.

"Mr. Tao, these are the three routes that Huang deduced based on the distribution of aquatic plants around the River East. If Yu Fuluo is really familiar with the terrain of the water source in the River East, then these three routes can be basically confirmed."

Xu Huang handed Pitu to the potter and asked him to correct him.

The potter took the Pitu and looked at it carefully for a while, then said calmly: "Xu Bing and Cao Nai are locals, your analysis should be correct."

After finishing speaking, he pushed Pitu back to Xu Huang, and said, "It's just that even though the route is analyzed, the scope is still too large. General Qu doesn't have many troops. If you want to divide your troops to ambush the little prince along these routes, I’m afraid it’s still not easy.”

Hearing this, Xu Huang frowned, touched his long beard and said helplessly: "It is the limit to be able to determine the three routes. If you want to be sure which of these three routes Yu Fuluo will take, well, I can't do it."

"It's okay, enough is enough."

Tao Shang basically already had a way to help Qu Yi win Yu Fuluo in his mind, but what he cared about most now was Xu Huang, who spent half the night guessing the route with him, and his main purpose was to win this person.

"Is Xu Bingcao comfortable in Hedong?" The pottery merchant asked tentatively.

Xu Huang didn't understand why the pottery merchant asked him this, and immediately replied: "Thanks to the concern of the young master, it's a good thing, the king's mansion is quite a promotion to Huang."

"How many people are there in the family?" The pottery merchant began to make friends with Xu Huang.

"My mother is in the hall, and there are five brothers."

"Are you married yet?"

Xu Huang smiled bitterly: "Not yet."

The potter was quite surprised. According to his 17-year-old age, it is estimated that when he returned to Xuzhou, he would be crowned soon. At that time, Tao Qian would rarely ask for his name. In this age, he is like a potter. Those who are not yet married, logically speaking, can be regarded as late marriages.

"Brother Gongming is not young, is he?"

Xu Huang sighed and said helplessly, "To tell you the truth, my lord, it's 25 years old."

The potter looked at Xu Huang curiously, then looked at the huge mountain-digging ax behind his tent, and said hesitantly: "Brother Gongming is so old, he has no plans to get married yet? Could it be that he is thinking about the safety of the Han Dynasty and wants to imitate the ancients?" Huo Qubing, the Xiongnu are still alive, so what is the family doing?"

Xu Huang's face turned red in an instant, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and then he quietly replied after a long while: "The main reason is that there is no land."

Pottery: ""

Xu Huang is a small official in Yang County, and his status is not high. Recently, because of his outstanding talent, he was promoted by Wang Yi to be a soldier in the county. When it comes to his background, although Xu Huang used to be a public official in Yang County, he is a low-level person after all. , the family background must not be very rich, and it may not even be considered a poor family.

In today's Han Dynasty, although the society is in turmoil and the refugees are displaced, the barren fields are not something that ordinary people can occupy if they want to. It is still very difficult to own an industry of your own.

Xu Huang's conditions are not good, at least not very good, but he still has certain abilities and has a desire to make progress in his heart. He may not really like ordinary lowly women.

It's a pity that the son of a high school is unwilling to betroth his female relatives to him. In this era, having no land is the same as having no house in later generations. Poor Xu Huang probably delayed it like this.
