Chu Tian had detailed considerations.

This crusade against the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou is an expedition. It takes half a month to get from Xiacheng to Beihai Kingdom. It takes another half month to enter Beihai Kingdom and reach Jimo, which is occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. This is still a smooth journey.

The premise.

If the Yellow Turban Army defends the city, Chu Tian's marching speed will be even slower.

Chutian liked to make sneak attacks and cut off the enemy's food routes, and Dorgon also liked such tactics, so Chutian had to ensure the safety of the supply lines.

So he left Xueyue, Sun Kang, and Wu Dun in the rear, while Chu Tian advanced in front. They divided their forces to occupy strategic locations and transport food.

Fang Xuanling's strategic plan for Chu Tian was to fight steadily, to regain the cities occupied by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army one by one, and to join the Qingzhou Army of Qingzhou Lord Zhao Gongzi and Beihai Xiang Kongrong to compress the Yellow Turban Army's activity space. Finally, force the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to fight with

Officers and soldiers engage in a decisive battle, and victory or defeat is decided in one battle.

Chutian's army waited in the counties for seven days. The 50,000 Xuzhou army led by Cao Bao and Mi Fang arrived belatedly and joined Chutian's more than 30,000 people in the counties.

"They're too slow."

Zhou Yafu, who has always been taciturn, couldn't help but complain.

But Chu Tian could still accept it.

Cao Bao and Mi Fang were not commanders at the same level as Zhou Yafu. They were even several levels behind. We couldn't ask for more from them.

"Brother Chu!"

Mi Fang now held more than 10,000 Xuzhou troops, and was worshiped as the captain by Tao Qian. He was very high-spirited. He finally made a name for himself by relying on the influence of his brother Mi Zhu.

"Brother Mi worships the captain and hopes to work together to help the Han Dynasty."

Chu Tian looked at the tens of thousands of Xuzhou troops brought by Mi Fang. They were mainly low-level troops, with a group of cavalry of more than a thousand people and a group of heavy infantry of several hundred people.

Cao Bao was not very polite to Chu Tian. At this time, seeing that Chu Tian had a close relationship with Mi Fang, he secretly defended himself: "You attack Dongwu and Gaomi County, we attack Anqiu and Chang'an County, and we will join Beihai Xiang Kongrong."

Regarding Cao Bao's order, Chu Tian did not want to disobey: "Okay."

Cao Bao's plan was to divide his troops into two groups: Chutian marched along the official road in the northeast, and Cao Bao marched along the official road in the northwest.

The combined strength of Chu Tian and Cao Bao exceeds 80,000. If they advance along the same official road, it will be congested and disadvantageous.

Cao Bao planned to merge with Zhao Gongzi and Kong to unite the officers and soldiers in the sphere of influence controlled by the Beihai Kingdom. Chutian was regarded by him as a partial force to attract the Yellow Turban Army from Jimo and Donglai County.

Cao Bao more or less wanted to let Chutian be besieged by the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

Chu Tian was aware of this, but he would not easily step into the encirclement of the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

With Hua Mulan's war eagle assisting in the investigation, it would be difficult for the Yellow Turban Army to ambush him.

Mi Fang, the only one who didn't see Cao Bao's thoughts, regretfully said to Chu Tian: "I still want to fight side by side with you, brother Chu."

Chu Tian said to Mi Fang: "There will definitely be a chance. The Yellow Turban Army is cunning. On your way to attack Anqiu County, remember to send more scouts to be careful of being ambushed."

Mi Fang said confidently: "Don't worry, I will never fall into the trap."

Chu Tian, ​​Cao Bao, and Mi Fang parted ways in various counties, and their troops were divided into two groups to regain the city of Beihai Kingdom.
