Someone had already reported to Cao Cao about Pang Tong entering the city with Cao Yu.
Cao Cao sent someone to bring Cao Yu to a mansion alone.
In the mansion.
Cao Yu took a look. Why was it the old general?
"Old General, Mister Feng Chu has come to join us. Where is the Prime Minister?”
he asked Cao Cao.
"The Prime Minister has just arrived at Xiangyang to handle some matters. Before he set off, he had specially instructed me to do so."”
"If Mr. Feng Chu comes to join us, you will be promoted to work in South County's administration and will first work with Zixiu.”
After saying that, Cao Cao asked Cao Yu to take a seat.
"After winter passes, the snow melts, and spring blossoms, Zixiu and Mister can move south.”
"Once we conquer the four counties of Jingnan, it will be a great achievement.”
After spring.
The South Conscription Army was split into two groups. This matter had long been arranged.
He personally fought against Liu Bei of Jiangxia.
Cao Cao arranged for his eldest son to take the credit for the four counties of Jingnan.
There was also a basis for rewards.
After the banquet.
Cao Cao told Cao Yu to go back and make preparations.
Cao Yu left and returned to his residence.
After returning to the prefect's residence.
"Has the prefect seen the Prime Minister?" Pang Tong asked.”
Cao Yu shook his head." I haven't seen him. The Prime Minister asked someone to give me an order."”
Cao Yu then told Pang Tong about his plans for the spring.
"If the prefect leads the army to recover the four counties of Jingnan, he will need an elite infantry unit," Pang Tong said.”
However, Cao Yu's most elite troops were the black-armored cavalry.
"Why don't we use the prefect's order to gather infantry from all over South County and store them outside Jiangling City?”
Pang Tong suggested.
After all, Cao Yu was the prefect of South County and had the authority to recruit soldiers.
Jingnan was a mountainous area. During battle, infantry was the main force, and cavalry was the secondary force.
"That makes sense!"
Cao Yu agreed to Pang Tong's suggestion and immediately wrote a letter, sending soldiers to pass on the order.
Eight thousand young and strong soldiers were recruited from all over Nanjun and stored fifty miles outside Jiangling City until spring.
Several days later.
Pang Tong came to see Cao Yu again.
"In the future, most of the battles will be fought in the mountains.”
"The prefect needs to prepare early and train a mountain infantry.”
There were many mountains south of the Yangtze River.
For example, Jiaozhou, Yizhou, and the south-central part of Yangzhou.
The main force could only be the mountain troops.
"Mister, don't worry. I have already made arrangements.”
Cao Yu laughed.
His next check-in location was in Changsha County.
The reward is 6,000 Wudang Flying Army.
It was the mountain division that Zhuge Liang had trained.
Pang Tong heard this and knew that Cao Yu had made arrangements. Only then did he nod and relax.
……
Winter passed quickly.
The dead trees in Jiangling City slowly sprouted new shoots.
The swallows had returned, and spring had arrived.
Cao Yu and Commander Pang took the commander's seal and ran out of the city, heading south.
Soon, they arrived at the camp 50 miles away.
In the village.
Cao Yu expressed that he wanted to attack Changsha County first.
"Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, has always been impatient," Pang Tong said."He values killing more than anything else.”
He had lived in Jing State for a long time and was a citizen of Jing State, so he naturally recognized Han Xuan.
"However, he has a general under him. He's from Nanyang. His surname is Huang Zhong, and his name is Han Sheng.”
"He was Liu Biao's general."
Huang Zhong and Liu Pan, Liu Biao's nephew, guarded Changsha together. Later, Liu Pan died.
Han Xuan used his connections to become the prefect of Changsha Prefecture.
Thus, Huang Zhong followed Han Xuan.
"Huang Hansheng is nearly sixty years old, but he still has courage that is unmatched by ten thousand men.”
Pang Tong reminded Cao Yu, afraid that he would be at a disadvantage.
"Wouldn't it be great if such a fierce general could be transferred to South County?" Cao Yu laughed.”
Of course, he knew that Huang Zhong was in Changsha County.
Not only that, Wei Yan was also there.
This southern expedition to Changsha was destined to be a bumper harvest.
Cao Yu thought that he should have two generals under him to use.
Previously, Cao Yu had commanded Niu Jin in the battle against the Jiangdong Army in Ling County.
However, Niu Jin was still lacking.
How could he compare to Huang Zhong and Wei Yan!
"All troops, go south and take Changsha County first!”
Cao Yu was worried that Liu Bei would not be able to stop Cao Cao's attack, so he did not go to Yizhou after the defeat and instead went south to Jiaozhou.
If the other party passed by Changsha and took Huang Zhong and Wei Yan away, they would be killed.
That would be a huge loss!
After a quick march, the army quickly entered the territory of Changsha Prefecture.
The huge movement of the army had long been detected by the local scouts.
So the sentry rode a pegasus to report to Han Xuan.
"Lord Prefect."
"South County Governor Cao Yu led three thousand cavalry and eight thousand infantry to invade Changsha.”
"In less than two days, we'll be able to kill our way to the city!”
The sentry reported hurriedly.
Han Xuan hurriedly summoned Huang Zhong.
After a while.
Huang Zhong entered the hall.
"It's said that Cao Yu is very brave, and even the heroes of the river are no match for him."”
"Is Han Sheng confident in taking its head?”
After the death of Liu Biao, Han Xuan wanted to be the king of Changsha Prefecture.
Some time ago, Cao Cao and the Sun Liu alliance army were at Red Cliff and had no time to look south.
But in the end, Sun Liu was still defeated. The iron hooves of the northern army began to step into the Jingnan region.
How could Han Xuan not be anxious?
"Governor, don't panic." Huang Zhong said seriously.”
"With just this saber and this bow in my hand.”
"No matter how many people come, no matter how many people die!”
"Cao Yu, what is there to be afraid of?"
Huang Zhong knew his own strength.
He could fire a two-picul bow and hit every shot.
Over the years, countless opponents had died under Huang Zhong's two picul hard bow.
Han Xuan was overjoyed. Just as he was about to send Huang Zhong out to fight, he sighed with emotion.
A person stepped out and cupped his hands to ask for orders.
"Why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken?"
"There's no need for the old general to take action against the enemy this time.”
"I'm willing to go out and capture Cao Yu alive to present to the prefect!”
