On this day, Qing Cang summoned Zhang Liao, Cao Chen and Lin Meng to his office to discuss major events.

Before the three of them could go upstairs, they ran into Wu Chaojing hurried upstairs.

"Staff General Wu is so anxious. Could it be that the commander summoned him?"

Cao Chen called Wu Chaojing. He was originally a superior and subordinate to Wu Chaojing. Now Wu Chaojing's military position is higher than him. He is at the battalion level, while Wu Chaojing is a regiment-level staff officer. He looks higher in terms of words, but in fact he is less powerful than the battalion commander, and he cannot use troops. He only has the right to suggest. If Qing Cang gives him the power of military power, it should be said otherwise. However, this is basically impossible, because he will not lead troops to fight.

Wu Chaojing turned around, saw the three people, and saluted, saying, "It turned out to be three battalion commanders. The commander asked me to sort out basic information about the three cities in the past two days. I just finished sorting it out, and I was about to go up to find him."

Cao Chen continued, "Oh? Could it be that the commander is going to make big moves again?"

Lin Meng said quickly. "No matter what action he does, as long as I fight, I can lead the troops to kill you happily. Do you think so? Brother Zhang!"

His relationship with Zhang Liao became very harmonious, and now he calls Zhang Liao brother. You should know that Zhang Liao is much younger than him, which shows that he is really convinced.

Zhang Liao analyzed: "I have been training troops these days, and the commander came to us to have another battle!"

Wu Chaojing nodded and said, "According to my guess, the commander should be planning a major event, which may be of greater benefit to the development of the legion."

Cao Chen said: "What are you waiting for! Let's go up quickly."

The group of four went upstairs. When they entered the door, Qing Cang frowned. He looked at the sand table in front of him and thought about the problem. There were four yellow flags on the sand table, one of which was located in Julu County, and the other three were located around it.

The four of them did not dare to disturb him, for fear of interrupting his thinking. After a while, he realized that the four of them had been standing for a while.

"You are here!"

After the four of them saluted, Qing Cang continued, "Staff Officer Wu, how is the thing I want you to do?"

Wu Chaojing immediately handed over a stack of paper.

"Return to the commander, here is my basic information about the three cities of Ganling County, Xindu County and Changshan County."

Qing Cang looked at the handed paper, which was dozens of pieces, which showed Wu Chaojing's seriousness in doing things. Looking at so many materials, he had a headache at the same time. He would feel dizzy after reading so many materials. So he said, "Staff Officer Wu, let's do this. Tell me about some basic situations in these three places, and what is the situation of the defenders?"

Wu Chaojing looked confident.

"Yes! Ganling County is located more than 100 miles east of Julu. The county has a population of about 200,000, the county covers an area of ​​750,000 mu, and the city has 3,550 gargantuans. The Yellow Turbans are very rampant here, and most of the people migrate to nearby counties, with a smaller population.

Xindu County is located more than 100 miles northeast of Julu. The county has a population of about 230,000, covering an area of ​​900,000 mu, and nearly 10,000 defenders in the city. This is one of the Yellow Turban strongholds, and the defenders are also the Yellow Turban Army.

Changshan County is located more than 100 miles northeast of Julu. The county has a population of about 310,000 and an area of ​​600,000 mu. The city has been occupied by bandits and calls itself the Black Mountain Army. There are nearly 4,000 bandits guarding the city."

Qing Cang asked, "If you attack the city, which city do you think is the most suitable?"

When he asked, the other three people were surprised. As expected, as they had guessed, Qing Cang was about to attack the city this time.

Lin Meng interrupted, "Commander, is there another war? It's great, I'm still saying my hands are itchy just now!"

Cao Chen pretended to blame and said, "Battleman Lin, the commander didn't ask you, just say a few words!"

Lin Meng scratched his head and said, "Sorry, I'm so excited. Staff Wu, you continue!"

Wu Chaojing then continued: "I think Changshan County is the most suitable for siege. There are a few points in total. First, the place has been invaded by the Heishan Army recently, and the Han army is helpless against them. When the Yellow Turban turbulence is in turmoil, the Han army will only let it go. If we can successfully capture it, it must be the favorite of the Han army. Second, its location is relatively special. It is located east of the Qianghu. If we use it as a stronghold, we can retreat to Qianghu. Third, it is the exclusion method. The first two counties are located in the center of the battlefield. Even if we really grab it, it may not be our territory in the future."

Qing Cang nodded, and based on the facts described by Wu Chaojing, he summarized:

"Very good, I'll 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 small people there, so more soldiers can be recruited."

These three places were selected by Qing Cang. He made a choice based on the task prompts. And what is more important is that Zhao Yun was still Changshan at this time. If he went there this time, he might be able to recruit Zhao Yun. Then he would have another powerful general, so that he could be invincible in this troubled world.

Why does he still remember Changshan deeply? Because Zhao Zilong said the most: "Zhao Zilong of Changshan is also!"

Zhao Yun's courage is no worse than Zhang Liao at all, and the two are comparable. In history, he lived a very frustrated life. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu did not trust the person who originally served Gongsun Zan. This trip may change Zhao Yun's fate.

Lin Meng said again now: "Then when will we fight? I'm a little annoyed when I train soldiers every day. Why not go out to fight and have some breathing!"

Since he became a battalion commander with Qing Cang, his nature has liked to lead troops to fight like he was released. By the way, training in troops is indeed quite boring.

"Battleman Lin, you're interrupting again!"

"It's okay, let him say it, don't let him say he's so suffocated!"

Qing Cang came forward to stop Cao Chen, and Lin Meng smiled. "It's still the commander who understands me. Brother Zhang and I have learned a few tricks recently, and we can't help but want to try it on the battlefield!"

Cao Chen smiled and said, "This siege is not as simple as the battle between the two armies. Think about it, the last time we were trapped, the Yellow Turban Army could not fight in, and sometimes the siege of the city was even more tiring!"

He was wrong, guarding the city is what is a geographical advantage. "Mencius: Gongsun Chouxia" says, "The time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people." The time is an opportunity, and the place is the environment. As long as the enemy occupies a good terrain environment, siege will be a long process.

Qing Cang nodded to show his affirmation.

"Captain Cao is right. He was from a regular army and has a richer understanding of the siege than us."

Lin Meng asked, "Then Captain Cao, tell me how to capture a city."

Qing Cang replied: "This is why I asked you to come up." He looked at Zhang Liao. He should have known it too, but because of his age, he might not know much about Cao Chen. If he asked him to come up, most of the time it was learning the interests of it.

Lin Meng talked the most, and asked questions one after another, showing his presence. "What should we do?"

Qing Cang said: "Captain Cao, let me tell you some necessary conditions for siege."

"Yes, Commander!"
Chapter completed!
