Chapter 596: The Knight Prepares to Head North

Two days later, the army arrived outside the city of Mi County, and the battle of Mi County was about to start.

While Hua Xiong led the army to advance triumphantly in Guandong, Huangfu Chaobo could not leave Luoyang City. Nothing else, the two sons of Huangfu Chaobo's teacher Zhu Jun and his two cheap senior brothers arrived.

The speed of the Shadow Guard was still quite fast. The letter from old man Zhu Jun was delivered to the hands of his two sons in his hometown before the New Year. At this time, the eldest son Zhu Hao was not yet the governor of Yuzhang, but a county magistrate under Yuzhang, and the youngest son Zhu Fu was just a small official in the county.

At this time, he received a letter from his father, saying that his disciple had now been promoted to General Pingdong and Mu of Sizhou, and summoned the two to Sizhou to serve. How could he dare to delay?

After the New Year, the two discussed with their mother at home and decided to rush to Sizhou as soon as possible to reunite with their father. So, the family spent more than ten days and finally arrived in Luoyang.

After receiving the news of the arrival of his master's wife and Zhu Hao's brothers, Huangfu Chaobo dared not delay any longer. He immediately arranged all his family members in a large mansion in the inner city, and then sent someone to transfer a large ship. He personally accompanied the old lady, two senior brothers and their children to Huai County to meet Zhu Jun.

Huangfu Chaobo knew that his two senior brothers were both talents of a county governor, so he planned to let them get familiar with government affairs in Hanoi and Hongnong for a period of time, and then take over the positions of the two county governors, just in time to replace the two old men. Who knew that when the old man Zhu heard it, he was furious and resolutely refused to allow it, saying that the two had just arrived and had not made any achievements, so how could they occupy a high position. By the way, he also scolded Huangfu Chaobo, saying that he was nepotism, which was not what the master should do.

Facing the furious old man Zhu, Huangfu Chaobo and the other two stood below like frightened quails and dared not say a word. Finally, under the persuasion of the old lady, Old Man Zhu calmed down his anger and directly asked Huangfu Chaobo to arrange for the two to be county magistrates of a county each, and they were not allowed to be promoted without reason within three years. Huangfu Chaobo nodded and agreed, and then the matter was settled.

After thinking about it, Huangfu Chaobo thought that they were attacking the county town in Guandong right now, so it was just right to let the two brothers choose one from each county town in Guandong.

After returning to Luoyang, Huangfu Chaobo just received the battle report sent back by Zhao Yun. Jing County had been captured and more than 3,000 county soldiers were captured. At the same time, Luoyang needed to send the reorganized guards to take over the county towns. Huangfu Chaobo immediately called Xu Shu. After the two urgently discussed, considering that the situation around Luoyang was relatively stable, 15,000 guards were drawn from Luoyang and surrounding counties to Zhao Yun's army.

As for the soldiers who surrendered to Zhao Yun, they were reorganized on the spot. All soldiers who met the conditions of combat soldiers stayed in Zhao Yun's army temporarily. After all the cities were recovered, they were reorganized together with the soldiers of Long Xiang's army and Hua Xiong's army. All the soldiers were sent back to Luoyang for further training.

After dealing with these things, Huangfu Chaobo, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was about to ask Dian Wei to make arrangements and rush to Zhao Yun's army. Unexpectedly, someone came to him again.

It turned out that after several months of preparation, the knight discussed with his two subordinates and felt that all preparations had been made and they could consider arranging troops. So the knight ran to Luoyang to find Huangfu Chaobo and asked him to arrange the navy to transport his army to set off.

At the same time, Le Ting also sent a message that the ships arranged by the navy to detect the waterway in the early stage had successfully arrived in Le Ting. Luoyang could consider arranging the first batch of navy to transport some weapons and equipment to Liaoxi.

Seeing this, Huangfu Chaobo knew that his plan to go to Zhao Yun's army could not be implemented, so he simply gave up the idea of ​​going to Hulao Pass to watch the battle.

In desperation, Huangfu Chaobo ordered Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to rush to Luoyang, and then summoned Xu Shu, and several people discussed the affairs of the navy. Unfortunately, both of them were not in Luoyang, and even if they rushed day and night, they would need to wait until tomorrow.

In desperation, the knight had to return to his territory first and rush to Luoyang tomorrow to discuss. Watching the knight rushing in and out in a hurry, Huangfu Chaobo felt that life was really wonderful.

A few months ago, the two sides were secretly trying to get rid of each other, but now they have become partners again.

The next morning, the knight led his two subordinates to Luoyang City. Looking at his appearance, he was indeed anxious. Now the development of players in the game has been very fast, and the integration and alliance between lord players are also getting faster and faster. If he does not speed up, he is likely to disappear from the top 20. Another point is that his decision itself has a bit of gambling nature.

Less than half an hour after the knights arrived in Luoyang, Zhou Tai and the others also hurried to the Luoyang South Gate Wharf. After getting off the boat, they quickly rode to the general's mansion.

After seeing Huangfu Chaobo's greetings, everyone sat down. Huangfu Chaobo told the purpose of recruiting the two people, and then asked how to arrange the two navy to escort them all the way up the river.

After Zhou Tai pondered for a moment, he said: "Reporting to the lord, since I did not receive the lord's order last year, I will send people to explore the river waterway along the north. At present, it has basically been explored clearly."

Speaking, Zhou Tai came to the Sizhou map and explained to everyone the situation of his arrangement of the navy to explore. According to the naval exploration, the river waterway that can accommodate large ships and large warships can no longer be sailed after reaching Pi County in Henei County. This is because the riverway from Hejin in Pi along the river to the north for more than 100 miles is basically unnavigable, and it is not until Caisangjin near Hukou Mountain that the riverway is restored to navigation.

When Huangfu Chaobo and Xiake heard the word Hukou, they were both startled and looked at each other, thinking of the real Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River.

After everyone digested his words, Zhou Tai continued: "After the army of Luonan Town arrived at Hejin, all disembarked, and then the troops were divided into two groups. The cavalry entered the territory of Taiyuan County in Bingzhou from Baibo Valley, and then went northeast from Zishi to Xihe County, then turned north at Lishi, went all the way north to Dingxiang, and then went west along the river through Yunzhong to enter Wuyuan, and then went west directly to Guangmu County. The other people went north along the river for more than a hundred miles, took a boat again at Caisangjin, and then took a boat all the way north to Guangmu.

The two of them had calculated that the total distance of this trip was more than 2,500 miles. With such a march, the cavalry could reach Guangmu in about a month, while the people would need to arrive about ten days later. According to the current time, they could safely reach Guangmu before the fields were planted in March, and would not delay the grain planting in the first half of this year.

Of course, another important factor is that the soldiers of Luonan Town could resist the attack of the miscellaneous Hu before the people arrived in Guangmu and pass through Guangmu County."
