When Zhang Niujiao and Zhou Cang met again, they were in the military camp in Anguo City.

Zhang Niujiao's expression was very plain, not as excited as meeting his brothers after experiencing life and death, as if he was just as dull as he met on weekdays. Zhou Cang seemed particularly excited. Fang Zhiwen thought the emotions of these two people were very interesting, especially Zhang Niujiao, who was like a great monk who had a great enlightenment. Maybe he would be the number one monk in China.

Zhou Cang punched Zhang Niujiao hard on the shoulder. Zhang Niujiao smiled gently, looked Zhou Cang up and down, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I'm still alive! Not bad."

"Brother Niujiao, I didn't take my troops well. They were dispersed. On the way, they met the cavalry of the Gaokan, the dog thief. Although we also ambushed his troops, my troops were only less than 10,000. Later, General Zhen Xiang arrived to save us. Where are you?"

Zhou Cang is really a stick, he really doesn’t have to pick up any pot!

Zhang Niujiao's lips twitched a little, and he paused and said with a wry smile: "I don't know. I ordered them to break through and fight each other. In the end, I don't know what happened. My personal guards were all dead, and I was the only one left."

Zhou Cang was speechless!

Looking at Zhou Cang's awkward look, Zhang Niujiao patted his shoulder, but instead comforted Zhou Cang. He turned his head to look at Fang Zhiwen who was watching the fun, the curious Taishi Zhaorong and Zhen Xiang, and smiled bitterly: "No matter what, it's all over! They can't live anymore, and they are seeking kindness and gaining kindness, but we are just living a life of silence."

“Brothers of Niuke…”

"You are all soldiers, and you should know that death happens around you every moment. Is this interesting thing about your concerns all day long? Let's go and talk."

Fang Zhiwen said lightly. He destroyed the emotional exchange between the two of them, making Zhou Cang and Zhang Niujiao a little embarrassed. Taishi Zhaorong felt a little funny, and Zhen Xiang simply grinned and smiled silently there.

This is the city garrison camp in Anguo City, with a permanent building, so the facilities here are all available. Xiangxiang and several generals from the General Staff have arranged the small conference room. The new map has also been hung up.

As soon as Zhang Niujiao entered here, he felt like he was back to Xi'anping Training Camp. Thinking of the tension and happiness at that time, and those robes, some of them may no longer be in the world, and I couldn't help feeling like a different life. Then I felt that I was really sentimental, not those literati with sour spirits, but I was a fighter! I was like a literati all day long. It was really ridiculous.

Zhang Niujiao figured out these things and unconsciously stood up straight. Regardless of life and death, everyone chose this path. They really seek benevolence and get kindness. They should go on firmly and see for them what the peaceful world they are looking forward to.

Fang Zhiwen glanced at Zhang Niujiao, and said nothing, asking everyone to sit down. Then he said to Xiangxiang, who was standing next to the map, "Xiangxiang, let's start."

"Okay! Everyone, what you are seeing now is the latest situation chart of the war situation in Jizhou. After Xindu changed hands, the Yellow Turban Army had no established troops in Anping County. The Yellow Turban Army's troops on the Eastern Front have been fully recovered to the front line of Tao. After our analysis, our General Staff Department believed that the officers on the Eastern Front would likely launch military operations to siege Tao. The Northern Line. Since Liu Yu's troops were slow and the Bingzhou Army had not gone south for a long time, there should be no problem in the smooth completion of the defense line in Shangquyang. As for Lu Nu in Zhongshan County, hehe, he naturally completed the first step of defense facilities very smoothly. Therefore, with the completion of the Julu defense line, the first line of the Yellow Turban Army has basically been completed."

Xiangxiang's thin wooden stick turned around and pulled everyone's eyes over.

"In Guangping City, Lu Zhi's strategy is a steady cage tactic, trying to use the fortress stronghold to split Guangping and Quzhou from Julu's protection. Of course, this plan looks good, but it has not been completed yet, which obviously takes time. Judging from the overall strategic situation, the official army has basically completed the siege of the Yellow Turban Army. Next, it is the stage of fighting a protracted war, and see who can't bear it first."

After Xiangxiang finished speaking, she smiled proudly at her brother, put down the wooden stick, ran to her brother with a smile and sat down, carrying a fresh fragrance.

Fang Zhiwen gave Xiangxiang a smile in admiration, and then turned to Zhang Niujiao.

"Do you know why I spent so much effort to save you?"

Zhang Niujiao nodded and shook his head, and Zhou Cang nodded vigorously. Fang Zhiwen was funny and pointed at Zhou Cang and asked, "Do you know Zhou Cang? Then tell me why I want to save you?"

"Mr. Fang is because of the past relationship. Master Fang is a good person."

"Hehe, brother has another good person stuck." Xiangxiang smiled softly.

Fang Zhiwen shook his head helplessly, not to argue with this guy who was a little stubborn.

"Zhang Niujiao, what do you think?"

"Of course, I don't want my Yellow Turban Army to suffer too much loss and lose the ability to deal with the official army. But what's the use of saving a few of us?"

"You are so rude! You underestimate the role of the general too much. The so-called general is incompetent to kill the three armies. What if this general is replaced by a capable one?"

Zhang Niujiao nodded thoughtfully, and Zhou Cang looked at Fang Zhiwen foolishly, with a strange expression. Fang Zhiwen ignored him and continued:

"The entire strategic situation in Jizhou is very obvious now. It is the attack of the government army and the Yellow Turban Army. If the defense is held, the situation of the Yellow Turban Army will be better. If it cannot be defended, then it will only be more difficult in the future. Let's look at the specific tactical level. Needless to say, the northern line is not necessary. Whether it is Lu Bu or me, they have enough ability to suppress the Yellow Turban Army in the city and dare not advance eastward, but they have no way to attack the city. In this way, we are not siegeing the city, but we have enough defense, so the entire northern line of the Yellow Turban Army is relatively relaxed. Looking at the Eastern Line, after the Xindu War, the Yuan family needs to repair and adjust the troops, and the subsequent offensive in Guantao should not be strongly attacked, which is not good for the Yuan family. They are now busy turning around and sorting out their territory. So there is a confrontational situation at most, and more battles should be carried out between Yiren."

Zhang Niujiao nodded. With Fang Zhiwen's explanation, the entire battlefield situation in the future has become very clear. Without Fang Zhiwen's reminder, Zhang Niujiao has focused his attention on Guangping.

"Let's look at the southern front, Guangping, Quzhou, and Julu. This battlefield has become the first stage of victory and defeat between the two sides, and there must be a result here. So both sides will invest more and more troops here, and even Lu Fengxian and I may go south to help the war. It can be predicted that Guangping will have an unprecedented battle. However, now Guangping, Quzhou's guards obviously do not have the ability to bear this battle. As for your great wise mentors, you must now sit in Julu, Zhang Bao is on the northern front, Zhang Liang runs Taihang, and there is no one on the front line of the Yellow Turban Army! Therefore, you, including the remaining elite soldiers in Anping, are very important, and are crucial to the future victory and defeat of the Guangping War, and even the future of the Yellow Turban Army. Do you understand?"

Zhang Niujiao looked at Fang Zhiwen with a complicated expression. Is this an enemy? If this person really made up his mind to be an enemy with the Yellow Turban Army, can the Yellow Turban Army block this person? If he integrated the troops on the Northern Line to attack during the war in the Southern Line, Zhang Niujiao could almost certain that the defense line that the Yellow Turban Army worked hard could not be defended at all.

But perhaps as Fang Zhiwen himself said, he had no reason to attack with all his might. The existence of the Yellow Turban Army was the most beneficial to him and also to Lu Bu. It was even beneficial to the Yuan family and Han Fu, and to raise the thieves to respect themselves! The Yellow Turban Army had to be able to be that "thief". Just look at the endless emergence of these official troops. What the Yellow Turban Army had to face was a group of tigers and wolves!

"Sir. What you meant just now is that the Yellow Turban Army fought very badly in Guangping?"

Zhang Niujiao actually didn't know the situation of the Guangping War. There was no military information notification system within the Yellow Turban Army, so Zhang Niujiao naturally wouldn't know about these things. In Xindu, the news about Guangping was obtained more through Yiren, and they were all unreliable statements.

Xiangxiang smiled, jumped up to the front of the map, turned the map a page, and the map below showed the detailed situation chart of the Guangping Battle.

Xiangxiang first explained in detail the preparations and development of the Guangping Battle and the current development, which gave Zhang Niujiao a deep and clear understanding of this.

Zhang Niujiao felt a little sad. The one who stationed in Guangping was Zhang Jiao's beloved general Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao, and Qu Zhou were Zhang Bao's beloved general Gao Sheng and Yan Zheng. From Xiangxiang's explanation just now, Zhang Niujiao clearly saw that these four generals had basically done nothing. They just attacked once in the beginning with a foolish and self-righteous attack, and then shrank their heads to be turtles. This is called a general? He is not even as good as a bandit leader!

If this continues, Guangping, which is the barrier of Julu, will be easily split, not only will it lose a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers, but it will also cause a serious blow to the morale of Julu's defenders. Once Julu loses it, it will cause irreparable huge losses to the cause of the entire Yellow Turban Army.

As Fang Zhiwen said just now, the Battle of Guangping is the first stage of victory and defeat, and the result of the first stage of war is the winner and defeat of the Yellow Turban cause, and there is absolutely no way to lose. For these reasons, they are willing to die in Xindu City. In Guangping, these incompetent generals are watching the failure approaching step by step, pushing the Yellow Turban cause and millions of soldiers and people of the Yellow Turban Army into the abyss of destruction. This is absolutely not possible!

"Sir! Please let us go back to Julu immediately, Guangping cannot be misunderstood!"

Zhang Niujiao straightened his body. At this moment, he seemed to feel his body full of strength again, and a fire was burning in his chest, and he wanted to fight.

"Okay, you can set off after rectifying the troops. I will provide you with the weapons supplies. However, I will give you a message to your great wise mentors. These expenses must be recorded in his account. Also, let him quickly remove the fool Cheng Yuanzhi. When Guangping loses Julu, Julu is open and has no danger to defend. If you don't completely destroy the fighting will of the official army in Guangping, Julu is very dangerous. If he doesn't want to fail, he will use Chu Feiyan and you as generals." (To be continued)
