On this day, Qingcang summoned Zhang Liao, Cao Chen and Lin Meng to his office to discuss important matters.
The three of them bumped into Wu Chaojing rushing upstairs before they went upstairs.
"Staff Wu is so anxious.
Could it be that he was summoned by the commander?"
Cao Chen stopped Wu Chaojing.
He and Wu Chaojing were originally superiors and subordinates, but now Wu Chaojing's military position was higher than his.
He was at the battalion level, while Wu Chaojing was the regiment-level staff officer.
It looked like he was one level higher, but in fact he was not as powerful as the battalion commander and could not mobilize troops.
He only has the right to make suggestions.
If Qingcang delegates military power to him, that would be a different matter.
But this is basically impossible, because he can't lead troops to fight.
Wu Chaojing turned around and saw the three people.
After saluting, he said: "It turns out they are three battalion commanders.
The commander asked me to sort out the basic information about the three cities in the past two days.
I just finished sorting it out and was about to go up to him now. " Cao Chen continued: "Oh, could it be that the commander is planning to make another big move?"
Lin Meng speaks quickly.
"No matter what he does, as long as there is a war and I can lead the troops to kill, that's fine.
Don't you think so, Brother Zhang?"
His relationship with Zhang Liao has become very harmonious, and he now calls Zhang Liao his brother.
You should know that Zhang Liao is much younger than him, which shows that he is really convinced.
Zhang Liao analyzed: "We have been training troops these days.
If the commander comes to us, he must have another battle to fight."
Wu Chaojing nodded and said: "My guess is that the commander is planning something big, which may be of greater benefit to the development of the legion."
Cao Chen said: "Then what are you waiting for?
Let's go up quickly."
A group of four people went upstairs.
When they entered the door, they saw Qing Cang frowning.
He was looking at the sand table in front of him and thinking about the problem.
There are four yellow flags on the sand table, one of which is located in Julu County, and the other three are located around it.
These four people did not dare to disturb him for fear of interrupting his train of thought.
After a while, he first realized that the four of them had been standing there for a while.
"You are here" After the four people saluted, Qingcang continued: "Consultant Wu, how are you doing what I asked you to do?"
Wu Chaojing immediately handed over a stack of paper.
"Coming back to the commander, here is the basic information I have compiled about the three cities of Ganling County, Xindu County and Changshan County."
Qingcang looked at the papers handed over.
There were dozens of them, which showed how serious Wu Chaojing was in his work.
Looking at so much information, he also had a severe headache.
Reading so much information would make him dizzy.
So he said: "Commander Wu, let's talk to me about some basic conditions in these three places and what the situation is like with the defenders."
Wu Chaojing looked confident.
"Ganling County is located more than a hundred miles east of Julu.
The county has a population of about 200,000, the county covers an area of 750,000 acres, and the city has 3,500 garrison troops.
The Yellow Turbans are very rampant here, and many people have moved away.
If you go to nearby counties, the population will be smaller.
Xindu County is located more than 100 miles northeast of Julu.

The population of the county is about 230,000, the county covers an area of 900,000 acres, and the city has nearly 10,000 garrison troops.
This is one of the Yellow Turban strongholds, and the defenders are also Yellow Turbans.
Changshan County is located more than a hundred miles northeast of Julu.
The population of the county is about 310,000.
The county covers an area of 600,000 acres.
The city has been occupied by bandits who call themselves the Black Mountain Army.
The number of fierce bandits defending the city was nearly 4,000. " Qingcang asked: "If you attack a city, which city do you think is the most suitable?"
When he asked, the other three people had unified expressions of surprise.
As they suspected, Qingcang was planning to attack the city this time.
Lin Meng interjected: "Commander, it's great to have another battle.
I was still complaining that my hands were itchy just now."
Cao Chen pretended to blame him and said: "Battle Commander Lin, the commander didn't ask you, please stop saying a few words."
Lin Meng scratched his head and said, "Sorry, I'm too excited.
Staff Wu, please continue."
Wu Chaojing then continued: "I think Changshan County is the most suitable to attack the city.
There are several points.
First, this place has recently been invaded by the Black Mountain Army.
The Han Army is helpless against them.
When the Yellow Turbans are in turmoil, the Han Army will only attack them.
If it is left alone, if we can successfully capture it, it must also be The Han army likes to see it.
Secondly, its location is quite special.
It is located to the east of Qianghu.
If we use that as a base to retreat to Qianghu, thirdly, it is the elimination method.
The first two counties are located in the center of the battlefield.
Even if we really If we seize it, it may not be our territory in the future.”
Qingcang nodded, and based on the facts described by Wu Chaojing, he concluded: "Very good, let me add two points here.
The fourth point is that the success rate of fighting bandits is higher, after all, they are not regular troops.
The fifth point is that there are many villains there, so more soldiers can be recruited."
These three places were all chosen by Qingcang.
He made the choice based on the mission prompts, and more importantly, Zhao Yun was still in Changshan at this time.
If he went there this time, he might be able to recruit Zhao Yun. .
Then he will have another strong general, so that he can remain invincible in this troubled world.
Why does he still have a deep memory of Changshan?
Because what Zhao Zilong said the most is: "Zhao Zilong is the one in Changshan."
Zhao Yun's bravery is no worse than Zhang Liao's, they are comparable.
In history, he lived a very miserable life.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu did not trust this person who originally worked for Gongsun Zan.
This trip may change Zhao Yun's fate.
Lin Meng then said again: "Then when are we going to fight?
I'm a little tired of training every day.
I might as well go out and fight to get some fresh air."
Since becoming a battalion commander with Qing Cang, his nature has been released and he likes to lead troops to fight.
Having said that, training is indeed quite boring.
"Camp Commander Lin, you interrupted again."
"It's okay, let him talk, don't let him say he's panicking" Qingcang stepped forward to stop Cao Chen, and Lin Meng smiled.

"Commander still understands me.
Brother Zhang and I have learned a few tricks recently, and we can't help but want to try them on the battlefield."
Cao Chen smiled and said: "This siege is not as simple as a battle between two armies.
Think about it, the last time we were trapped, the Yellow Turban Army couldn't get in.
Sometimes siege is even more tiring."
He was quite wrong.
Guarding the city is what the geographical advantage is.
Mencius and Gongsun Chou once said, "The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people."
The right time is opportunity, and the right place is the environment.
As long as the enemy occupies a good terrain and environment, attacking a city will be a long process.
Qingcang nodded in affirmation.
"Battle Commander Cao is right.
He comes from the regular army and knows more about sieges than we do."
Lin Meng asked: "Commander Cao, please tell me how to capture a city."
Qingcang replied: "That's why I asked you to come up."
He looked at Zhang Liao.
He should also know, but because of his age, he might not know as much as Cao Chen.
If he asked him to come up, he would probably learn from it.
Stake.
Lin Meng talked the most, asking questions one after another to increase his sense of presence.
"Then what are we going to do?"
Qing Cang said: "Captain Cao, please tell me some of the necessary conditions for attacking the city."
"Yes, Commander" When Cao Chen told the whole story, people realized how difficult it was to capture a city
