The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

After Zhou Cheng's army crossed the Yellow River, they headed north and headed straight for Wei Commandery.

Xun Cai has returned to Cai's oxcart to take care of Cai.

Cai is still unaware of Xun Cai's sacrifice. Zhou Cheng and Xun Cai have discussed that Cai is still very weak and cannot withstand the shock and stimulation, so they temporarily made up a story to deceive Cai.

And Zhou Cheng also came up with an almost perfect excuse, which was 'blackmail'.

Cai believed that the moth thief took Xun Cai and Cai as hostages and planned to extort money, food and jewelry from Xun.

After all, the Xun family in Yingchuan is a wealthy family, so it is normal for thieves to be interested in making money.

Before the money is obtained, it is reasonable to give some soups and medicines and oxcarts to make Cai and Xun Caiguo more comfortable.

However, whether Cai will see through the lie is not important to Zhou Cheng.

Because what he is concerned about now is that he must replenish military rations as soon as possible.

Although more than 70,000 old and weak people were lost at the ferry, which greatly reduced the burden, there are still nearly 100,000 people.

These 100,000 troops and horses were eaten by people and chewed by horses, and the wear and tear was huge in a day.

Just now, the warehouse official specifically reported to Zhou Cheng that it would be difficult to hold on to the remaining grain until tomorrow.

Zhou Cheng shouted:"Xu Fang."

Xu Fang rode his horse to Zhou Cheng's side and asked respectfully:"Commander Qu, what are your orders?" Zhou Cheng said:"Take the light cavalry and go to Wei County to explore first. road"

"Here!"Xu Fang summoned the light cavalry and rushed away.

…… at the same time.

Wang Kao, the governor of Jizhou, has received news that the moth thieves are marching towards Wei County.

Wang Kao is one of the Eight Chefs. The so-called Eight Chefs praise celebrities who can help the world with their wealth.

Wang Kao accepted the refugees, pacified the rebellion, managed the military and government, and tried his best to stabilize Jizhou.

However, now the moth thieves are coming to harm Jizhou again!

Wang Kao had some skills in appeasing the refugees and governing the place, but he was not good at commanding troops to fight.

Zhou Cheng killed Zhu Jun and defeated Sun Jian. He was also pursued by Huangfu Song and escaped successfully, crossing the river and heading north.

Wang Kao is self-aware. With his ability, he is definitely no match for Zhou Cheng.

What's more, how can Jizhou's soldiers with few major generals cope with the Moth Thieves' 100,000 troops?

In history, although Wang Kao was one of the Eight Chefs, he was also ambitious and even wanted to depose Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. As a result, he went to Hua Xin to discuss the plan. However, Hua Xin said:"Wang Kao is careless in nature and not martial in strength. This will lead to his failure." Failure will lead to disaster for the family."

Sure enough, Wang Kao failed and later committed suicide.

Seeing Wang Kao walking around in front of the desk, Li Yan, an aide, said:"Ming Gong, the thieves are so powerful that they must not go out of the city to fight in the field. They must strengthen the walls and clear the country. At the same time, order all counties and counties to move their generals, horses, and people to Yecheng. , and mobilized the people of Yecheng to defend the city. The moth thieves came from Yingchuan, and there is insufficient food and grass. Moreover, it has already entered winter and the weather is cold. It will not take many days for the moth thieves to defeat themselves."

After hearing what Li Yan said, Wang Kao thought for a while and said hurriedly:"Da Shan! I will follow your plan.""

"Someone is coming!

Wang Kao shouted towards the outside of the house.

Soon soldiers walked into the house.

Wang Kao finished writing quickly and said:"You will go to Neihuang, Liyang, Fanyang, Yin'an, Wei County and Yuancheng as soon as possible." , Guantao and other counties, took my letter and seal, and ordered all counties to immediately follow the instructions in the letter."

After the soldiers left, Wang Kao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he defended Yecheng, he would have nothing to worry about.

……

"drive!"

"drive!"

On the official road, a fast horse galloped past.

The horse galloped dozens of meters in front of Zhou Cheng, then pulled the reins and slowed down.

The cavalry on the horse jumped off, and one of them hurriedly reported:"Qu Shuai. , in Neihuang and Liyang counties, the township warriors and county soldiers in the counties took the people of the villages and towns, drove their livestock, abandoned the city and headed for Yecheng."

When Zhou Cheng heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He Man asked confusedly:"Shuai Qu, what do the officers and soldiers want to do? Zhou Cheng sneered and said:"

The walls are strong and the fields are clear. They defend Yecheng to the death. They don't give us any food and want to starve us to death." Zhou

Cang held the iron gun and said:"Commander Qu, Zhou Cang is willing to lead an army to intercept and kill first.""

"No hurries? Zhou Cheng shook his head and said:"Wang Kao deceived himself. Originally, I just wanted to plunder a few counties and replenish some army supplies to continue my journey north. However, Wang Kao was very hospitable and prepared to give Yecheng to me, so I have no choice but to be rude.""

"Yecheng?!"He Man and Zhou Cang were stunned when they heard this.

Yecheng is a big city, and the Yellow Turban Army has too few siege equipment. How can they attack it?

Moreover, the food and grass have been exhausted, so it is impossible to lay siege to the city.

Zhou Cheng saw that both of them were He didn't believe it. He smiled even more and said confidently:"Although Yecheng is a big city, Jizhou has few soldiers and generals. Wang Kao has no plans and is not good at commanding the army. There is nothing to be afraid of. We will capture Yecheng this time." , no worries about food and grass."

Seeing Zhou Cheng's confidence, He Man and Zhou Cang went from not being able to believe it to being doubtful.

At this time, Zhou Cheng said to He Man and Zhou Cang:"You two, lead a hundred elite soldiers and put on civilian clothes. Follow the troops from each county. When our army reaches Yecheng, we will immediately kill the generals and seize the city."

"Here!"He Man and Zhou Cang's eyes lit up and they responded excitedly.
