However, after gathering the troops and taking a short rest on the white horse, the Han army's commander-in-chief, Wugan Zhonglang general Gongsun Xun, repeated his old tricks, leaving only Yang Kai alone to lead the local warriors to defend the white horse, and the iron ropes and boats turned into

After crossing the pontoon bridge, the whole army crossed the river again and swept towards the cities in Hebei Province.

The first one to bear the brunt was Dunqiu.

The battle at Dunqiu was fought extremely easily... The Yellow Turban reinforcements originally gathered here had already been redeployed due to Gongsun Xun's actions in Henan, but Cao Mengde's former official Le Jin took the opportunity to contact and encourage them because of the Han army's performance.

more people!

As a result, Li Jin led his troops in formation to scale the city, but before the battle began, Le Wenqian commanded his troops to seize the city gate. The Han cavalry rode in, and Zhang Fei fought for the head of the local commander... The whole battle could be

It can be said to be invincible.

That's not all. Now that Dunqiu was captured, Gongsun Xun went on without stopping. According to Cao Cao's advice, Le Jin and his township party disguised themselves as defeated Yellow Turban soldiers, and headed all the way to Weiguo County where Le Jin's family was located that day.

.

Weiguo was only twenty or thirty miles away from Dunqiu, and the troops were defeated one after another. In the panic, Le Wenqian naturally captured the city gate again on the spot, and the Han cavalry immediately followed and broke into the city... In the evening, Weiguo

The stool is restored.

"Wen Qian fought bravely, swiftly and with extraordinary courage. He really has the style of a famous general in ancient times!" Gongsun Xun also rushed to Weiguo County in the evening of the same day, but he immediately rode to the top of the city to face the battle that day.

Le Jin, who had made the first contribution to the righteous cause, greatly praised him. "How can such a person be subordinated to a county official?! Why not lead the local people to join the army and follow me to sweep away the Yellow Turbans in order to achieve great success?"

Le Jin was short in stature and only reached the tip of Gongsun Xun's nose in front of him. At this moment, although his heart was moved when he heard such words, he still took the initiative to look at Cao Cao who was similar in stature to him and saw the latter holding his hands behind his back.

Smile, and then I happily agreed.

Although Gongsun Xun was a little aggrieved when he saw this, he had no choice but to do it...Who made this happy to come up was that he was Cao Mengde's subordinate? No matter in my mother's story or in front of me, it seemed that Cao Aman had brought it with him as soon as he appeared on the scene.

That kind of absolute team.

Thinking about it, Cao Cao came to serve as the Dunqiu Order not long after he came of age. And Lejin, a native of Weiguo County who is only a short distance away from Dunqiu, is so capable and also so short. It is no wonder that Cao Cao came to the throne so early.

Discovered him.

However, Gongsun Xun thought to himself that his team was not bad. Seeing that the good general in front of him had already had a good reputation, he stopped thinking about it, generously offered the other party the status of a general, and returned to business.

"Where will our army go?" Le Jin blushed. He captured two county towns with a bang. Cao Cao couldn't help but get carried away. He just twisted his beard on top of the city and pretended to be a god with troops.

"I watched Wenqi let the local commander and some remaining soldiers cross the river to Puyang. I thought it would be better to mobilize the Puyang troops... Ke Dunqiu, Weiguoju and Puyang are across the river, and our army is waiting here.

, they shouldn’t come here without permission with the risk of being attacked by our army halfway across, right? Why not continue to fight, uproot the cities, isolate Puyang, and force them to leave the city for a decisive battle!"

"What Brother Meng De said is true!" Gongsun Xun stood at the top of the city and stared at the looming Yellow River embankment in the south. He had some doubts. "But if we go further down, where should we turn? We should continue to sweep in Hebei.

Take Dongwuyang in the east, send it to Zhucheng, and completely cut off the connection between Dongjun Huangjin and Zhangjiao? Or should we cross the river again, penetrate Xiancheng, Zhencheng, and Fanxian, open up Dong'a, connect Qingxu, and completely isolate

Where is Puyang? Brother Mengde has always had great ideas, can you teach me?"

Cao Cao thought for a moment, then immediately put down the hand that was twirling his beard like Lou Gui, and stood with his hands tied, saying nothing more.

However, Cao Mengde probably didn't expect that Gongsun Xun was partly teasing him, but partly he really didn't know how to make a decision... In other words, at this time, Gongsun Xun was fully equipped with both cavalry and infantry, sufficient morale, military supplies, and fierce generals and counselors.

To the point of overflowing, then the so-called strong soldiers and generals, except for Puyang, which has a high city and a dangerous pool, and heavy troops stationed there, can't move, I'm afraid they can attack wherever they want!

"Speaking of Dong Wuyang," just when Gongsun Xun was about to decide on a strategy for entering the army, Shen Pei, who was rarely by his side, suddenly said, "I have an old friend there, and I wanted to use his help to follow suit.

The person who did what Le Wenqian did today, unfortunately, only after asking the locals outside the city, we found out that he is not in the countryside now, but went to Qingzhou for a study tour long before the chaos broke out..."

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be curious: "Since he is a good friend of Zhengnan, I guess he is also a heroic man."

"Of course." Shen Pei also looked at the Yellow River in the distance and nodded slightly. "This man's surname is Chen Minggong and his courtesy name is Gongtai. He has always been generous, fierce, upright, and resourceful!"

Gongsun Xun was startled, and then he couldn't help but secretly thought... If he is this person, no wonder he is an old friend of you!

It's a pity that this person is not here!

"It's just a pity that this person is not here." Before Gongsun Xun could say anything, Shen Pei shook his head. "Otherwise, Dong Wuyang would have been easily defeated!"

"Since Chen Gongtai is not here, let's go see Cheng Zhongde!" Gongsun Xun laughed dumbly. "Let Qianzhao stay here to monitor Puyang. The rest of the army will set off tomorrow. In front of Bu Ji, we will chain up the iron ropes and cross the river south. We must

Turn Puyang into an isolated city!"

Under the setting sun, on the top of the city, the embankment of the Yellow River was reflected in the distance. From Cao Cao down, all the generals bowed their hands and listened to orders.
