The upper county city is Yulin City.
It is located in the northernmost part of Shaanxi Province in modern times, bordering Gansu and Ningxia to the west, Inner Mongolia to the north, facing Shanxi across the Yellow River to the east, and bordering Yan'an City of Shaanxi Province to the south.
Thinking that Shangjun must cross the Yellow River, some people may ask how to cross the Yellow River.
Coincidentally, it was around February when he went on the expedition.
At this time, the north was frozen and the water of the Yellow River had turned into ice.
The 200,000-strong army just crossed the Yellow River.
And he also sent a telegram instructing Yang Zizong to bring concrete and steel bars to select a site.
They wanted to build a bridge on both sides of the Yellow River and take advantage of the fact that the Yellow River is now frozen.
Otherwise, it will probably become more difficult after the ice melts.
Of course, how to build it was a matter for their engineering department, he just gave the order.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Yulin City was called Shangjun, and this was the first purpose of Qingcang's trip.
He will use Yulin City as a springboard, and then open up the entire Southern Huns and let the Southern Huns collapse.
All its resources will belong to the Chinese Legion.
The area they visited belongs to the windy sand and grassland area.
It is green and has a lot of water pools.
It is no wonder that the Southern Huns would occupy this area, because the resources here are too rich, especially for this group of people on horseback.
For nomadic peoples, grassland resources are particularly important.
The Huns lived on the northern prairie and lived a life of chasing water and grass as their home.
They were a nation that relied on the grassland for survival.
Once there was a drought year and they had nothing to eat, they would invade the farming tribes of the Central Plains in large numbers.
These are only the resources on the surface.
There are also resources under the ground that these people cannot predict, but Qing Cang can.
He learned from the geography book that this area is simply a treasure land.
Due to the vast land and sparsely populated areas, when they set foot on this land, they always had the feeling that they had made the wrong move.
But when they saw that there was a large city on the grassland, they told themselves that this was right.
Qingcang led an army of 200,000 and stopped ten miles away from the city.
It was getting dark now.
He was going to set up camp here and wait until dawn tomorrow before firing his cannon into Shangjun City.
During this period, he had already sent spies to inquire about the enemy's situation.
When night fell, the camp was brightly lit, and the spies returned to the account and reported: "Report to the commander, there are nearly 100,000 enemy troops stationed in Shangjun City, and there are also a large number of trebuchets, ballista vehicles, city assault vehicles and other items in the city. , and saw a large number of repeating crossbows.”
At this time, there were Zhao Zilong, Li Dian, Bai Yu, Liao Bao, Yun Zhongfeng, Le Jin and others in the tent.
These people are all the elite of the Flying Dragon Army.
When the spies talked about the ballista cart, Qingcang already knew that all his technology had been spread.
This was one of the disadvantages of opening up.
After he opened up Huaxia City, most of the technology would be spread out, making everyone If we develop on the same level, if we don't develop cannons and guns, we will be like them.
In that case, we will have no advantage at all.
If we want to capture such a city, we don't have to think about it without three to five million soldiers.
Zhao Zilong said: "Commander, if there are 100,000 people, and we use our cannons, it won't take half a day, and the city will be broken."
He had experience.
At that time, he had less than 200,000 troops, and he easily defeated a large city guarded by 100,000 soldiers using only musketeers.
That battle could be called a success.
Bai Yu agreed: "Yes, Commander Zhao is very reasonable."
Li Dian had just joined the army.
At this time, he did not make any remarks, but was just receiving new information.
"Tomorrow, I think I, the Liaobao, will take the lead and catch them all in one fell swoop."

Le Jin said, "I don't think we should act too hastily.
It belongs to us and they can't escape."
For a while, the generals were involved in discussions, with some attacking and others waiting.
Qing Cang signaled them to be quiet, and said: "We can't take this city in a short time.
Why?
Because we know that the Huns are good at riding and shooting.
Give them a horse and they can gallop freely on the grassland because of their speed.
It is extremely fast, so it creates a lot of uncertainty in the use of muskets.
At the same time, these people have an attitude of not admitting defeat.
I am afraid it will take some time to attack them this time. " Zhao Zilong said quickly: "What the commander said makes sense.
I underestimated him."
Qingcang continued: "No matter who the enemy is in the future, we must not take it lightly to prevent ourselves from being bitten by the enemy."
"yes"
Others also agreed and nodded to show their understanding.
Qingcang then asked the spies: "Is the Xiongnu Chanyu in the city?"
"Coming back to the commander, Yu Fuluo is not in the city.
I have inquired about a lot of information, but I have not been able to find out his whereabouts."
Shangjun can be said to be the more advanced and larger city of the Southern Huns.
If Yufuluo didn't have this place, he couldn't figure out where it would be.
Since he didn't know where he was, he gave up and asked, "What other useful information did you get?"
The spy said: "Compared with our Chinese city, this city lacks a moat.
The city wall is made of stacked earth blocks, and it only has two east and west gates.
According to my observation, there are a large number of traps arranged outside the gate.
We must be careful.
Coping is."
Part of the reason is that there are few stones there, so it would be nice to have an earth wall.
Of course, the earth wall can save him a lot of trouble in his attacks.
"You can draw this trap" If you can draw the trap and let the entire army pay attention, then your casualties will be controlled within a reasonable range.
"It's okay, Commander, I've already kept it all in mind."
"Come here, bring a pen and paper."
The spy quickly drew the location of the traps.
These traps were distributed on both sides of the two doors, mainly concentrated within a hundred meters.
When the time comes, just avoid here.
"Commander, these locations are only approximate and not accurate."
Qingcang picked up the drawing.
Although the drawing was not very good-looking, it was still clear and courageous.
He praised: "Very good, Commander Zhao.
When the time comes, please inform our soldiers to avoid these places."
After saying that, he handed the paper to Zhao Zilong.
"I'll inform you right away."
After Zhao Zilong went down, Qingcang said straightly: "You did a good job, go and receive five thousand yuan, that is your reward."
"Thank you Commander" The spy was extremely happy.
This was what he deserved.
You must know that his duty is very dangerous.
If you are not careful, you may be discovered by the enemy, and you may be left there forever.

"Okay, that's it for today.
You all go down and rest.
At dawn tomorrow, we will attack Shangjun and strive to capture Shangjun as soon as possible and return victorious."
"yes" The generals then retreated, leaving only Qingcang alone in the tent
