Unlike the Yuzhou Army, Sun Cejun and the others had different ideas. Sun Ce’s primary goal was to capture the entire county of Jiujiang. Although Cao Cao didn’t care that Sun Cejun took all the cities of Jiujiang, Cao Cao still had to use the cities of Jiujiang to slow down. Sun Cejun’s offensive speed. At the same time, Cao Cao didn't mind making a mess of Jiujiang Zhucheng that he was about to give up and handing it over to Sun Ce. Since last year, Cao Cao has already begun to transfer personnel and materials from Jiujiang Zhucheng.

However, what made Huangfu Chaobo feel strange was that Ye Laixiang hadn't moved for a long time, but he was not worried. At present, Cao Caojun's reaction has not been shown, and it is normal for Ye Laixiang to not move.

Chen Liu was about two hundred miles away from Yuanju County, Jiyin County. After departing from Chenliu, the army arrived at five miles west of Yuangu County at about the afternoon of the fourth day. Huangfu Chaobo ordered the army to camp and led Several generals came to observe the situation in Yuanju City.

The county seat of Yuanju County lives about sixty miles west of Dingtao, Jiyin County. It is a defensive point to the west of Dingtao. If it is in other warfare, the county seat of Yuanju must be the place where Cao Cao’s army must defend. It is different. Cao Cao's purpose is to contain the army of the Eastern Army and the prefectures and counties here, so he did not deploy heavy soldiers for these cities. Instead, he transferred some of his elite and concentrated his troops in the prefectures.

There are only three thousand prefectures in the city of Yuanju. The city is not very big, but the size of an ordinary county. Looking at the defenders on the wall, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly turned to look at Huang Wudie and said: "Xiaodie, uncle thought Is it a problem to spend the night in the city today? And the casualties cannot exceed 1,000."

"An ordinary county where three thousand prefectures are stationed by the national soldiers. Now, just now at noon, there are still two hours of darkness. Wudie is scheduled to take the city for his uncle before dark. However, the army needs to be dispatched with me." This is already a man. The woman’s female general looked at Huangfu Chao Bodao with a proud face;

Originally, this time Huangfu Chaobo was not going to let her lead the army, because she had been married to Xu Shu for a few years, but she had never had children. Xu's mother was sensible and didn’t say much, just occasionally with Mi Huan. When the women were chatting, they sighed softly. Mi Huan also took heart, and personally led Fan A to diagnose and treat Huang Wudie and Xu Shu twice, but did not find any problems, so he had to give up.

Because this battle was too important for the Zhengdong Army, and Huang Wudie's ability was already at the upper-middle level in the Zhengdong Army, so Huangfu Chaobo had to let her lead the battle again.

In fact, it is not only that Huang Wudie has not given birth, but Huang Xu and his wife, who are far away in Youzhou, also have no children. This also makes Huang Zhong anxious. He has asked Mi Huan to ask on his behalf several times.

Huangfu Chaobo nodded lightly and signaled Huang Wudie to start preparing to attack the city.

After obtaining Huangfu Chaobo's permission, Huang Wudie didn't do anything to siege, and directly ordered: "Come on, order Yuanrong Crossbowmen to prepare, approach the shooting distance of 100 paces, and shoot at the head of the city! "

"Order a thousand civilians to be ready to fill the moat's siege tunnel!"

"Be prepared for the trapped camp and the iron wall camp. Once the siege channel is filled, they will attack the city head. When the iron eagle battalions are trapped in the iron wall camp, they will quickly follow up and control the city head. ."

"After the cavalry attacked the city, they surrounded all the other three cities, and they were not allowed to leave a Cao army."

After her series of military orders came out, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help being dumb. Except for the 1,000 civilians who filled the moat, all the soldiers and horses were used by their own guards, and 17,000 of the most elite soldiers went. It would be weird if the ordinary counties that attacked three thousand ordinary counties defended by the national soldiers could not win quickly.

As expected by Huangfu Chaobo, within two hours, the gate of Yuanju County was opened. To be precise, it took one and a half hours. The first hour was used to fill the moat and the second half hour was used to attack the city. Less than 300 people were lost to the East Army, more than 200 people were injured, and only more than 100 people died in the battle.

Seeing Huang Wudie's triumphant smile, Huangfu Chaobo shook his head without saying a word, and ordered the army to rest in the camp outside the city, and led the guards into the city to rest.

At noon two days later, Huangfu Chaobo’s army arrived at the west ten miles of Dingtao City, and ordered Huang Wudie to be responsible for the construction of the camp. Huangfu Chaobo led the generals and several military divisions under the protection of five thousand cavalry. , Came to the west of Dingtao City. The group of people stopped until they reached a place two miles away from the city wall, and carefully observed the situation of Dingtao City from this position.

Dingtao, located in the north of Jishui, is the governing place of Jiyin County. The city is sturdy and tall, surrounded by a wide moat, and the river water of the moat is directly connected to Jishui in the south of the city. It is a relatively large city among the cities of Yanzhou.

Dingtao was called Taocheng in ancient times. It is an ancient city with a long history. As early as the Neolithic Age, humans used to fish, hunt, cultivate and thrive here. During the Yao and Shun periods, it was an ancient pottery country. Xia and Shang had three states.

In the 12th century BC, King Wu of Zhou named his sixth brother Zhenduo Cao Bo and established the State of Cao as the capital of Taoqiu. "Said Wen": "Taoqiu has Yao City, and Yao can live in it." The ruins of Taoqiu ancient city are 200 meters north of Feizhuang Village, Maji Town. In the 26th year of Qin Shihuang (221 years ago), Dingtao County was established.

After a long period of development, Dingtao has now become about eight miles in length and width, the city is three feet high, the bottom width is five feet, and the top width is more than three feet. There are turrets about five feet high in the four corners of the city wall. It can be said that its scale It is already on par with the city of Changyi, the ruler of Yanzhou.

Huangfu Chaobo saw that the Shouchun City, which was the same size as the Zhengdong Army once attacked, was still a strong city. He couldn't help but sigh secretly. This is the first obstacle to attacking Cao Cao's forces. If he can't take it quickly, it is estimated that the war will follow. more difficult. Fortunately, he still has a secret weapon.

After looking at the three walls of the west, north, and east surrounding Dingtao, Huangfu Chaobo said: "Let's go, return to business, and discuss how to attack the city."

As he said, without waiting for other people to react, he squeezed his legs and stepped off the horse, shook the reins lightly, and ran towards Daying.

After a while, the group returned to the camp. After entering the big account, Huangfu Chaobo looked at Shi Adao: "How long will it take for Zhang Xun's army to come to Dingtao Reunion?"

Shi Adao: "General Zhang's army had already set off from Lihu yesterday morning. It is estimated that they will be able to reach the north of Dingtao tomorrow morning."

"Okay," Huangfu Chaobo nodded, then turned to look at Hu Yandu: "From now on, the surveillance around Dingtao will be given to the Turks, especially in the direction of Changyi to the east. The hour must be reported once."

Hu Yandu immediately stepped forward to take his orders.
