The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

In recent days, after successively recruiting Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, He Man and others, Zhou Cheng's team of generals finally looked better.

Otherwise, every time there is a war, he can only fight in battle, and the other captains will not be of much use.

However, Zhou Cheng did not have much time to continue reorganizing the army, recruiting generals, and plundering livestock, grain and grass, because Huangpu Song led the army and was marching from Runan to Yingchuan County. According to their marching speed, they would be able to arrive in three or four days. Changshe.

Huangfu Song was the one with the most outstanding military exploits among the famous generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he was also the most feared by the Yellow Turban Army.

Outside Quyang City, you can still see the Jingguan built with hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans.

In the eyes of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo and others together were not as cruel as Huangfu Song!

Moreover, Huangfu Song came from a family of generals and was proficient in the art of war. He burned Changshe and defeated Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's army of hundreds of thousands, causing the massive Yellow Turban Uprising to suffer a major setback for the first time.

Of course, for Zhou Cheng, Huangfu Song's threat was only secondary.

The biggest crisis for Zhou Cheng is food and grass

"Qu Shuai, we still have more than 29,600 hu of rice and more than 16,700 hu of wheat.……"

The warehouse officer of the granary in the camp was reporting to Zhou Cheng alone.

One dendrobium is equal to one stone, one dendrobium is equal to ten buckets, and one bucket is equal to twelve liters.

Under normal circumstances, a young man in the army would eat two liters of rice a day. However, the Yellow Turban Army was short of food and could not supply that much.

Except for the elites of Huben Camp, Dawn Cavalry, Panshi Camp, Shenwu Camp and other elites, the rest of the tribe barely had a meal every day with clear soup and little water, mixed with wild vegetables and grass roots into the batter.

But even so, the nearly 160,000 troops under Zhou Cheng's command were consumed by the terrible consumption of horse chews every day, and the military rations were almost exhausted.

As expected, hundreds of thousands of people will run out of food in a few days.

Moreover, the seventeen counties in Yingchuan County are really too poor, and less and less food, grass and livestock can be plundered every day.

Running out of food is not good news.

Moreover, it would be even worse to run out of food during the war with Huangfu Song.

Zhou Cheng said:"Leave three thousand hu of dendrobium. In addition, the daily ration for each person will be reduced by half.""

"Here."The warehouse official replied

……

Zhou Cheng took out the map. He now had two choices.

The first is to go south to Jingzhou and occupy Wancheng. Although Jingzhou is also troubled by the Yellow Turbans, the money and grain reserves in the warehouse are relatively sufficient. Looting Jingzhou can solve the problem of insufficient food and grass.

However, there was a shortage of horses in the south, and Zhou Cheng was still thinking about the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

If you go south to Jingzhou, you may never be able to return to the north. Moreover, the troops under Zhou Cheng's command are all northerners. If you go south to the north, regardless of whether you are not acclimatized to the climate or not, you definitely don't understand the topography.

Therefore, Zhou Cheng gave up the idea of ​​going south to Jingzhou.

Since we can't go south to Jingzhou, we can only leave Zhongmou, cross the Yellow River, and go north to Jizhou.

After Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were defeated by Huangfu Song, they also went north to Guangzong and joined Zhang Jiao.

Although Jizhou was also harmed by the Yellow Turban, it was much better than Yingchuan, and it was easier to replenish food and grass. At the same time, by crossing the Yellow River, it was far away from Luoyang, and it would not be regarded as a thorn in the side or a thorn in the flesh of the civil and military officials of the court.

Even if Huangfu Song continued to pursue, Zhou Cheng would probably continue to go north, pass Yanmen, and exit the Great Wall to the grasslands outside the Great Wall.

That was the territory of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan. It was impossible for Huangfu Song to pursue them all the way beyond the Great Wall.

What's more, the Qiang people in Liangzhou are about to rebel.

The rebellion initiated by Bian Zhang and Han Sui was extremely threatening and difficult to suppress. Zhou Cheng remembered that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also wanted to abandon Liangzhou, but he was fully opposed by the imperial court, both civil and military.

And Zhu Jun is dead. If the rebellion in Liangzhou is to be quelled, Huangfu Song must be the first choice.

"Well, keep going north."

Zhou Cheng made a decision, so he immediately summoned all the generals and lieutenants to hold a military meeting

……

"The army was about to run out of food and grass, and Huangfu Song led tens of thousands of troops from Runan to Yingchuan. I decided to continue going north, crossing the Yellow River and entering Jizhou."

When generals such as He Man, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and captains such as Zhang Shao and Liu Yong gathered in the commander's tent, Zhou Cheng said to them.

"Head north to Jizhou……"

"This was also the case for General Di Gong and General Ren Gong at the beginning."

"Qu Shuai, why don't we go south along the Huishui River."

Going north has been a lifelong nightmare for the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army. Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were defeated in Changshe and had to flee to Guangzong and join Zhang Jiao. However, everyone knew the final result. After

Zhang Jiao died of illness, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were killed one after another, and the officers and soldiers began to surround and suppress the Yellow Turban Army.

Without waiting for the captains to comment, they heard a bang. Zhou Cheng slammed the table. For a moment, the commander's tent became quiet, so quiet that even his breathing could not be heard. So clear, at this moment, Zhou Cheng said coldly:"I have made up my mind. What's more, I will kill Zhu Jun and defeat Sun Jian. As long as there is enough food and grass, it doesn't matter if I defeat Huangfu Song again?"

If it was just an accident to kill Zhu Jun, but after defeating Sun Jian face to face in the battle, Zhou Cheng's self-confidence began to expand.

All the heroes in the world are also mortal, born from mother and raised by father, with two shoulders carrying one head

"He Man is willing to follow Qu Shuai to the north!"

"Pei Yuanshao is willing to follow his commander northward!"

"Zhou Cang is willing to follow Qu Shuai to the north!"

He Man and others knelt down on the ground one after another.
