Jiaozhou, Hepu County, Hepu County, Hepu City, Prefect's Mansion.

The prefect's mansion in Hepu County is several grades behind the prefect's mansion in Panyu City, Nanhai County in terms of size and quality.

No way, although Hao Meng complained a few words, she also knew that Hepu County could not be compared with Nanhai County.Nanhai County has a population of nearly 30, and Hepu County has a population of more than [-]. Although the land is not small, it is useless without anyone.

Hao Meng didn't care about these things. What he cared about was Jiaozhi County in the west, waiting for Lu Bu to give the order to attack.

Hao Meng led an army of 500 to attack Hepu County, and easily captured all the counties in Hepu County with less than 400 casualties.The more than [-] people basically died when they encountered bandits and captured Hepu City.

Hao Meng didn't feel the feeling of winning the battle at all, but felt that he was running errands to receive Hepu County, and felt aggrieved.

Now he is only in [Linyun], [Gaoliang], and [Xuwen] three counties, leaving a thousand defenders in each county, and Wei Xu stayed in Xuwen Town to guard.

All other troops were transferred to [Hepu City]. More than 1 troops were stationed outside the west gate of the city, ready to enter Jiaozhi County at any time for a big battle.

It was not easy to wait for Lu Bu's latest order, but when he saw it, Hao Meng was dumbfounded.When Lu Bu issued the order, he also attached a letter explaining what Hao Meng would do in the next month.

"What do you mean by planting sweet potatoes?" Hao Meng shouted in the main hall of the prefect's mansion.

At the same time, Guo Jia, Song Xian, and Wang Dong were also present.

"Tell me, the general actually asked me to leave [-] elite soldiers to stay in Hepu City, while the other soldiers were going to the east to open up wasteland and plant some sweet potatoes. Did you give me an order? Our enemy is in Jiaozhi County to the west. Why? Take Jiaozhou in one fell swoop without attacking, and you can do whatever you want after you get Jiaozhou.”

If Hao Meng didn't speak out, he felt that he would be suffocated, and he couldn't vomit.

"Yeah, not only do we need to transfer troops, but we also need to recruit recruits. How can there be any recruits here? Except for those defenders who surrendered, it is very difficult for anyone to voluntarily apply." Song Xian is similar to Hao Meng, feeling Lu Bu's The order was absurd.

"The general must have other deep meanings in doing this." As one of the company commanders of the Shenbing Battalion, Wang Dong is still very loyal to Lu Bu. He has seen too many incredible things from Lu Bu.

Hao Meng glanced at Wang Dong, and said: "Even if it is very meaningful, we should distinguish the current situation. Our top priority now is to defeat Zhu Fu, the governor of Jiaozhi County, and then take full control of Jiaozhou, and then sit and watch the Central Plains. Picture it. Such an order is hard to understand."

At this time, Guo Jia, who was on the side, finally spoke. He said, "Two generals, this is an order from the general, and we have to accept it."

"Hmph, someone gave such an order." Hao Meng expressed dissatisfaction.

Guo Jia smiled, and said: "Don't worry, General. Didn't the General say that it will take nearly a month to plant sweet potatoes? Presumably the time has passed, and it will no longer be suitable for planting sweet potatoes. Then it will be the slack time for farming." , if there is a war, troops can be dispatched urgently.”

"Furthermore, the two generals also know that yesterday's information from Jiaozhi County showed that Zhu Fu, the governor of Jiaozhou, had gathered nearly [-] elite soldiers in Jiaozhi County, but he had no intention of sending troops immediately."

"If Zhu Fu doesn't go to Yulin County to send troops, we still have no chance to attack. It's better to execute the general's military order first, and then wait for the opportunity."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, she looked at Hao Meng and waited for his decision.

Hao Meng pondered for a moment, but still felt that something was wrong, and said: "If Zhu Fu sends troops during this time, there will only be five thousand soldiers here, how can we attack Jiaozhi County?"

"At the end of the day, there is a plan to allow the general to attack and defend freely." Guo Jia already had a countermeasure in mind.

Hao Meng was startled, if there is a plan to achieve both, then there is no need for him to be in a dilemma, "What kind of plan does Guo Canjun have, please tell me."

"General, we still have one person we can use." Guo Jia smiled strangely.

"Who is it?" Song Xianxian asked.

Guo Jia looked at the three of them and said, "The Shijia of Jiaozhi County, the younger brother of the prefect Shixie, the magistrate of Xuwen County [Shi?]."

"Shi?? I seem to have heard of it somewhere." Hao Meng has no impression.

But Song Xian knew that it was he and Wei Xu who captured Xu Wencheng when they attacked Xuwen City. Later, when Guo Jia asked him to come to Hepu City, he also brought Shi?

"This person, the general mentioned it back then, let us try to capture this person alive. Now this person can also be of some use." Guo Jia reminded.

Hao Meng was stunned, "Indeed, the general mentioned this person, and I remembered it. But how will Guo Canjun use this person?"

"The general only needs to write back to the general, saying that we have captured Shi Xie, but the news has already been known to Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi County. In order to prevent Shi Xie from leading troops to attack, Hepu City needs to be heavily guarded."

"In this way, the general can leave [-] more elite soldiers and attack more than [-] elite soldiers. He can also advance and retreat freely at that time. He can also explain to the general. I think the general attaches great importance to Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi County, and will understand the general. Difficulty."

This is Guo Jia's strategy.

"Isn't this deceiving the general?" Song Xian felt inappropriate.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "It's not all a lie. Now Jiaozhi County already knows that Nanhai County and Cangwu County have been captured by us. It's not surprising that Hepu County will be captured."

"Perhaps Zhu Fu, the governor, didn't pay attention to Hepu County, but Shi Xie, the prefect, must be worried about his brother's comfort, and will send someone to contact him. It will be a matter of time before he knows that something happened to his brother. Therefore, we are also taking precautions before it happens."

Hao Meng thought it was feasible, so he agreed: "Just do what Guo Canjun said. However, to make life easier afterwards, we should move the rest of the soldiers and the defenders who surrendered to the east. In addition, try to recruit as many soldiers as possible. Let the recruits move east as well. That way, even if the general finds out afterwards, he won’t embarrass me.”

"The general is wise." Guo Jia bowed, thinking: This Hao Meng is still capable, he is worthy of being the number two in the Bingzhou Army under Zhang Liao.

Just as Hao Meng and others were trying to respond to Lu Bu's order, Lu Bu, who was far away in Guangxin City, Cangwu County, took more than [-] soldiers, old and new, to leave Guangxin City and start heading south.

In five days, Cangwu County recruited nearly [-] new recruits, plus the defenders who had surrendered, and thousands of Bingzhou troops, a total of more than [-] people. They began to take over and prepared to go to the southeast of Hepu County to garrison and farm. Plant sweet potatoes.

Accompanied by thousands of civilians who are familiar with sweet potato cultivation, they can quickly start the task of farming when they arrive at their destination.

Nearly [-] recruits, what they hold are not weapons, but various agricultural tools.There were also those in charge of driving cattle, who went south with hundreds of cattle.
