Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 321 Grab Time

"My lord, it has been found out that the prefect of Mount Tai is named Xue Ti. Apart from Lu Qian, there are three other troops stationed in the territory. They are divided into Juping, Youlaishan and Guishan. It seems that they are guarding against Yuan Shao." Chu Nan. Not long after Lu Qian was captured here, Zhou Cang brought someone to find him, and bowed to Chu Nan.

"Xue Ti?" Chu Nan turned to look at Xu Huang. This is another unfamiliar name, but unfamiliarity does not mean incompetence. Cao Cao's subordinates can be the prefect of a county, or Taishan County is at the junction of Yuan Shao's strength, which has strategic significance The prefect of a county should not be too bad. Chu Nan believed in Cao Cao's vision.

"Xue Ti, courtesy name Xiaowei, is a native of Dongjun. He worked in Yanzhou before. When Marquis Wen invaded Yanzhou, he assisted Xun Lingjun and Mr. Zhongde to defend Juancheng, Dong'a, and Fan counties, laying the foundation for Duke Cao's counterattack. Later, because Duke Cao’s father died on the border of Mount Tai, he was worried about being pursued by Duke Cao, and Ying Shao, the former eunuch, escaped, so he was appointed as the prefect of Mount Tai, and the rest of the matter will not be known to the general.” Xu Huang briefly introduced what he knew.

As for the details, after all, there is no chance to meet each other. Xu Huang usually doesn't care about the achievements of the prefect who is thousands of miles away. That's not what he should care about. There is basically no intersection between him and Xue Ti.

Chu Nan nodded. The battle situation in Xuchang should still be spreading. Judging from the news obtained from Lu Qian, Lu Qian should have just learned about it. In terms of speed, if Lu Qian was the first to get the news, Now rushing to Taishan County, there is still time, he has to settle the border issue before the news reaches Taishan prefect.

This Taishan County is not only the junction of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, but also a Zhongyao barrier between the Central Plains and Qingzhou. There can be a barrier in the Central Plains, a land of Mapingchuan, which can reduce the defensive pressure a lot. If Taishan County defected and voted for Yuan Shao, then it may cost twice or more troops to deploy defenses in this area.

Cao Cao is newly destroyed, and the territory is still being digested. Many places are still under the control of Cao Cao's old troops, and Lu Bu has only occupied a few important places. Although the general situation is set now, there are still variables. They have invested in Yuan Shao one after another, then they have been fighting hard for several months, and they may end up making a wedding dress for Yuan Shao. Before Yuan Shao reacts, they must race to enclose the land, first determine the boundaries and some strategic points, otherwise if Yuan Shao is allowed to fight In the Central Plains, even if Lü Bu was victorious in part with superior forces, but he did not have enough manpower to defend against it, and under the premise of the collapse of the whole line, no matter how brave Lv Bu was, it would be hard to recover.

He bragged to Lu Qian about how many people he had recruited along the way, but they were all fools. In fact, after Chu Nan left Xuchang, he ran to Mount Tai non-stop, in order to give this important barrier first. Come down, otherwise, it wouldn't be the case that Chu Nan would arrive as soon as we got the news here. You must know that the time difference between the two parties' departure from Xuchang was at least two days or even longer.

"Let Pei Yuanshao bring all the other soldiers and horses!" Chu Nan nodded, and asked someone to give a signal. In order to let Lu Qian dare to leave the camp, Chu Nan asked Pei Yuanshao to lead the army to wait in the rear. They only brought a thousand people to fetch Lu Qian, there is no need to hide it now.

"Here!" Zhou Cang agreed, and ran away with his legs, while Chu Nan and Xu Huang began to study the map.

"In Juping, Youlaishan and Guishan, if Yuan Shao attacks, the defense here is extremely important." Xu Huang gave his professional opinion. This place belongs to the edge of Mount Tai, and there are many roads from Qingzhou, which can be done. There are naturally large troops in other places, but it is not easy to deploy large troops, and even if the enemy troops want to go to those places, they only need to set up a few beacon towers, and they can deploy troops in time to block those places.

"According to the general's intention, which places should I go down first?" Chu Nan asked.

"If we can take down the prefect's mansion in one fell swoop, and then use the emperor's edict to appease them, these troops should be able to recruit and surrender." Xu Huang gave Chu Nan a suggestion.

This is the advantage of holding the emperor in hand. After all, not everyone is like Lu Qian. For most people, as long as the general trend is right, it is still easy to surrender these generals.

"But it's easy to be cut off the way of retreat!" Chu Nan looked at Feng Gao's position. He was right behind this line of defense. They wanted to bypass this line of defense and go straight to Feng Gao. It's too dangerous, Chu Nanjue still puts safety first.

Xu Huang looked at Chu Nan, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.

What he meant was that it would be best for them to enter Fenggao, if they could persuade Xue Ti, if not, they would beheaded and seized Fenggao on the spot, and then the emperor ordered the three troops to surrender.

According to Chu Nan's method, it is likely that it will be difficult to take Taishan County down before Yuan Shao makes a move, and it will definitely be more troublesome then.

But judging by Chu Nan's appearance, it is obvious that he is unwilling to take risks, and it is not good for him to offer this strategy again, lest people think that he is harming him. After all, he is a general, so he should listen to Chu Nan, and the worst is to lose for a while. That's all.

Chu Nan gave Xu Huang a strange look, groped his chin and thought, "However, if you subdue these three troops first, there must be defenses against Feng Gao, and it will be difficult to think of Feng Gao."

Xu Huang nodded silently. That's what he meant. Although Feng Gao didn't have many troops, but in time of war, the people in the city were mobilized to defend the city, and the big households in the city might also reject Lu Bu. It would not be easy to attack Feng Gao at that time. However, if the Qingzhou side notices and takes the opportunity to lead troops over, then things will be troublesome.

"General, would you like to take another risk with me?" Chu Nan looked at Xu Huang and smiled.

"The envoy's intention is..." Xu Huang looked at Chu Nan uncertainly, did he change his mind?

"You and I will bring hundreds of people to Feng Gao to meet Xue Ti. If he is willing to surrender, everything will be easy to discuss. If he is unwilling, he will be killed on the spot, and then it will be easier to recruit Juping soldiers and horses with the emperor's edict. "Chu Nan said seriously, Xue Ti was born in a noble family, the probability of accepting Lu Bu is not high, he is a class enemy, so it is best if he can surrender, and if he can't surrender, he will be killed. This is not the same as Lu Qian.

With Xu Huang and Zhou Cang on the side, cooperating with his bugs, self-protection should be no problem.

Xu Huang looked at Chu Nan in surprise, why is he not afraid of death all of a sudden?
He nodded silently and said, "I would like to go with the envoy."

Anyway, this decision is the best way for Xu Huang.

Chu Nan nodded in satisfaction. After Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao joined them with soldiers and horses, Chu Nan roughly explained the strategy to them.

"Pei Yuanshao continues to lead the troops to Fenggao, and Gongming and Zhou Cang lead a hundred elites to follow me to Fenggao to seize power." Chu Nan made a decision: "Do you have anything else to add?"

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao shook their heads, what to add?Does it make sense to ask them this question?
"Since this is the case, there is no need to delay, I will set off immediately!" Chu Nan got up and said, Lu Qian's camp is in Mengshan, 140 miles away from Fenggao, and will pass through Youlai Mountain in the middle, so Chunan is now so perfect If there are only 100 people, they should be able to reach Mount Meng before sunset. Even if Cao Cao's messengers are there, according to the speed at which they reach Lu Qian, they should be able to arrive one step ahead.

Now, together with Xu Huang and Zhou Cang, after arranging a hundred elites, he used Feng Zi Mi all the way to the north, and flew to Fenggao. Although Pei Yuanshao also comprehended Feng Zi Mi, it was just an introduction, and he could only bring It's good to slow down the army so that it doesn't break into chaos, but don't worry about the speed. Even if you drive all night, you will arrive at Fenggao at least in the early morning of tomorrow.

……

Fenggao, gradually slanting westward, in the streets and alleys, the people who have been busy for a day take advantage of the setting sun, the people living outside the city start to pack their things and leave the city before the city gate is closed, and the people living in the city relax. Either gathering together to chat, or walking through the streets and alleys, the afterglow of the setting sun casts a layer of golden brilliance on the city.

Although it is a county town, it does not have the prosperity of Xiapi, nor does it have the repairs of the Jianghuai area. Fenggao gives people the feeling of simplicity. The relationship is gradually tense, and border conflicts are becoming more frequent, making even under the sunset, which should be the most relaxing time of the day, there is a sense of depression in the air.

When the soldiers in charge of guarding the gate of the city saw the approaching army, even if the number of the opponent was not large, it was like an enemy. They immediately dispersed the people and wanted to close the city gate until the opponent approached. When he was wearing Cao Jun's military uniform, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The captain of Chengmen ordered his war horse to come over, turned on the horse, and went up to meet him.

"Under Sun Yuan, Tian is the captain of the city gate here. I don't know who you are..." The captain of the city gate clasped his fists at the group of people to meet this group of people.

"This general, Xu Huang, was ordered to come here to serve as a high official. I have important matters to discuss with Mr. Xue, let him go quickly!" Xu Huang took out a token and handed it to the other party.

Although Cao Cao died, the news has not yet reached here, and the old things are still useful.

Sun Yuan took the token and looked at it, then bowed and handed it back: "So it's General Gongming, please follow me, General!"

Then he walked back.

Xu Huang led the men and horses to follow straight up, Sun Yuan opened his mouth, and according to the rules, it would be better for these men and horses not to enter the city, but seeing that Xu Huang didn't take this into consideration, a hundred people really didn't count, so he hesitated for a moment Afterwards, Sun Yuan gave up his plan of persuasion.

After all, he is a general next to Cao Cao, so it is normal to know the rules here, but Sun Yuan is a little worried about how to arrange these people tonight.

Under the leadership of Sun Yuan, the crowd came all the way to the prefect's mansion. Sun Yuan pleaded guilty and entered the mansion first to report, while Xu Huang and Chu Nan got off their horses and waited outside the mansion.

Chu Nan looked around, and asked the monster ants and mantises to lie around and warn him.

After a while, the city gate captain came out and said to Xu Huang, "Please, General!"
