Chapter 41: Separate troops

In Changping City, since Xiahou Dun killed Peng Tuo, he had no resistance in the territory of Chen.

Therefore, Huangfu Song and others were not hindered from entering Changping.

In the hall, Huangfu Song laughed and said, "Ziyu, Ziyu is a great contribution to defeating Peng Tuo so easily and taking back Chen Guo."

Lu Chou smiled and shook his head and said, "General, if Yuan Gang did not provide any force this time and kill Peng Tuo with one blow, it would be unlikely that we would subdue these people."

Huangfu Song smiled and said, "That's right, Yuan Rang should also remember a great contribution to the killing of Peng Tuo."

Then, Huangfu Song continued, "How come Ziyu expected that Peng Tuo would definitely lead his army to pursue us?"

Lu Chou smiled and said, "Since Peng Tuo dared to lead troops to fight, he knew that Peng Tuo was an arrogant guy. When we saw our army defeated, he naturally thought that our army could not compete with him. Therefore, it was not unexpected that he dared to lead the army to pursue him."

Huangfu Song bowed and said, "Ziyu is really a talented person."

Lu Chou smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's just a trick of eagle, not enough for the general to praise it."

Cao Cao was more realistic and said, "General, this is not the time for us to be proud. There is still Zhang Mancheng in Nanyang County that has not been wiped out. We should make a concerted effort to fight Nanyang and eliminate the Yellow Turban Remnants."

Huangfu Song nodded and said, "What Meng De said is reasonable, and that's true. However, there are still some remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Chen State that have not been eliminated. If some troops are not left to station, it may be inappropriate."

Lu Chou bowed and said, "Some thieves are not worth worrying."

Zhu Yan also nodded and said, "That's right, Peng Tuo has been killed in the territory of Chen, so we don't need to stay in Chen."

Huangfu Song frowned and said, "I'm afraid there's something wrong. If a centipede insect dies without being stiff, we should be careful."

Then, Huangfu Song said, "Let's do this, Meng De and I stay here, and we will also leave Meng De's troops here. As for the Nanyang side, we will bother Gong Wei and Ziyu."

Zhu Yan nodded and said, "So I wish, I dare not ask for it."

And Lu Chou also said: "It's so good, so I'll go this trip with General Zhu."

Huangfu Song said: "Since that's the case, I will only leave Meng De's troops to clear the remaining Yellow Turbans in Chen, and I will ask the two of you on the Nanyang side."

Zhu Ye and Lu Chou nodded and said nothing.

Cao Cao said, "General, we should discuss something else."

Huangfu Song looked at Cao Cao in confusion and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cao Cao replied: "Nothing is still the problem of the Yellow Turban surrender."

Huangfu Song said: "It will be fine soon after the countermeasures I have taken before?"

Cao Cao replied, "It is feasible, but if he sends some troops out, the troops left in Chen may be short of their strength."

Huangfu Song said: "Although it is a bit difficult, we can still overcome it if we force it."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "My subordinates only have 3,000 soldiers. Now, under the battle, there are probably only more than 2,000 people left. If one thousand troops are divided," he said.

When Huangfu Song heard this, he interrupted Cao Cao's words completely and said, "Meng De, you should also know that this time was not because I forced you, but because of the situation, and I had to do so."

Immediately, Huangfu Song said: "Although the situation in Nanyang can be barely maintained now, if Ziyu and Gong Wei lead too few troops, it may not be of much help to the situation in Nanyang. Therefore, the six thousand soldiers are the least the troops they can carry, and they must not be reduced."

Cao Cao also said: "General, I naturally know this, but I still have an idea. General, please listen to it and see if it is feasible?"

When Huangfu Song heard that Cao Cao had some ideas, he couldn't help but say, "Although Meng De said that as long as it is beneficial to the war, there is no way to do it."

Cao Cao said slowly: "I want to transfer the young and strong men from the Yellow Turban to the military camp."

When Zhu Jun heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Meng De, is there something wrong with what he said this?"

Then, Zhu Jun continued: "Now, if the elites from the Yellow Turbans are transferred to the military camp, it may cause the soldiers in the military camp to be of varying quality, and it may be unfavorable to command."

Cao Cao replied: "It's okay, I just need these people to be responsible for the garrison."

Immediately, Cao Cao continued: "Since Ziyu can say that he can let these Yellow Turbans repair the city, why don't we go further and let these Yellow Turbans garrison the city? In this way, we can give them a chance to make up for their merits. Similarly, we can also solve the problem of insufficient troops today."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Zhu Jun did not speak immediately, but fell into deep thought.

Huangfu Song also thought about it for a long time but didn't say anything.

Lu Chou thought for a while and said, "General, I think Meng De's idea is feasible."

Immediately, Lu Chou continued: "But, there should be some more considerations in this. First of all, all the Yellow Turban soldiers should not be allowed to form a battalion, otherwise, it would be difficult for them to control with weapons."

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "I agree with Ziyu's words, but we can select a part of it, disperse it into various cities, and minimize its power. Among them, even if someone wants to rebel, it will be quickly extinguished."

Huangfu Song heard his two counselors say the left and right and finalized the general plan for this time, and nodded and said, "Since you both said that, I think it's feasible. I wonder what Gong Wei thinks?"

Although Zhu Jun was still a little worried, when he saw that the three of them did not object, he said, "Since you all decided, I won't say anything."

Hearing that Zhu Jun did not object, Huangfu Song smiled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, Meng De will obey the order."

Cao Cao took a step forward and stood respectfully in front of Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song said seriously: "Cao Cao, you proposed this plan, so you will be responsible for this matter. If something goes wrong, I will punish you."

Cao Cao bowed and said, "Don't worry, General, Meng De will definitely be free from humiliation."

Huangfu Song saw Cao Cao's resolute expression and nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, Huangfu Song continued, "Lu Chou stepped forward and obeyed the order."

Lu Chou stepped forward and stood respectfully.

Huangfu Song said: "Lu Chou, this time you are appointed as the military advisor of the army, commanding a thousand troops under your command, and follow General Zhu to Nanyang to attack Zhang Mancheng. I hope Ziyu will make many contributions and fulfill his mission."|

Lu Chou said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, General, I will definitely assist General Zhu."

Hearing that Lu Chou and Cao Cao both responded, Huangfu Song said to Zhu Jun with a happy look: "Gong Wei, this time I went to Nanyang, it was extremely dangerous, so I would have worked hard for Gong Wei."

Zhu Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can still hold on with this bone. Moreover, if you send Ziyu to me, I will definitely be able to return with a great victory. Maybe when I come back, your Chen State has not yet been pacified."

When Huangfu Song heard Zhu Jun's words, he smiled and immediately said, "Gong Wei, don't underestimate the enemy this time. Although Ziyu is young, he has a strange strategy. I hope Gong Wei can follow Ziyu's opinions more."

Zhu Jun nodded and said, "Don't worry, I naturally know it."

Then, Huangfu Song said, "Okay, since you already know that you are blind, then go out and start acting within one day."

Everyone took the order and left.

However, after everyone left, Zhu Jun stopped Lu Chou and said, "Do Ziyu have time to gather in my camp?"

When Lu Chou heard Zhu Jun's words, he knew that Zhu Jun might have something to ask, so he said, "Since the general invites him, how dare Ziyu refuse to obey?"

Immediately, Lu Chou followed Zhu Jun to Zhu Jun's tent.
