From Niu Fu's plan to cross the river, to the fact that their 70,000 troops collapsed because they had no food, it was only a few days.

Dong Zhuo's other army was in Luoyang, and it took time to gather and head north. It can be said that the distant water cannot save the nearby fire. Moreover, even if Zhang Xiu leads his troops, without a navy or a ferry, he cannot cross the Yellow River.

This is a cook without rice.

The 20,000 to 30,000 remaining soldiers from Niu Fu and others are now only breathless, and it seems that they are about to die.

But it was precisely because of Zhang Xiu that they were still breathing a sigh of relief.

Yang County.

Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang and Bai Bo’s army cleared out fifteen cities and villages among the twenty cities in Hedong County, leaving only five cities as places to garrison troops and grain.

There is one in Yangxian in these five cities.

At this moment, there were 10,000 people guarding the city of Yang County and tens of thousands of people. At its peak, Yang County was also very large, so it suddenly got so many people in, and it didn't seem crowded.

There were more than a hundred more powerful men in the Xu Mansion who could draw bows, making the strong man with weapons. Before this, Xu Huang planned to take his mother south to join Zhang Xiu.

As a result, he did not succeed when encountering such a thing.

As the news from the front continued to come, Xu Huang really hesitated for a moment, but he was a decisive general after all.

In the study, Xu Huang knelt behind the desk and pondered for a long time. Then he looked up and walked out of the study, called a servant, and said, "Go and invite Yang Ning."

"promise."

The servant responded and immediately went out. Soon after, the servant walked in with a tall young man with a sword hanging on his waist.

"Brother."

The young man was Yang Ning. He bowed to Xu Huang, and then naturally came to sit sideways and knelt down.

There are no high-ranking clans in Yang County, but there are still many rich families like Xu Huang. Yang Ning is Xu Huang's childhood friend, and the two are brothers. Before that, Xu Huang discussed with Yang Ning and gathered hundreds of people, intending to go south to join Zhang Xiu.

"My brother, the skill of splashing the sky is right in front of you. Are you willing to go with me?" Xu Huang first came to the door, looked left and right before returning to his seat and said to Yang Ning in a deep voice.

"Brother, do you mean?" Yang Ning was willing to raise an army with Xu Huang, and was a brave man. He narrowed his eyes and said after hearing this.

Xu Huang nodded and made his debut with Pan Ting: "Niu Fu, Fan Chou, Hu Zhen and others were defeated, so they were nearby. They were defeated without food. As long as they were given food, they could cheer up. We killed the Yang County garrison, occupied the county town, responded to Niu Fu. We defended the city and waited for the reinforcements of the Grand Sima. The Grand Sima pacified Hedong and the two counties of Henei, and we were the first to do so."

Yang Ning thought for a while, but he was puzzled: "Brother said so much, but how can we occupy Yang County? If Niu Fu and others add the defeated army, we will have to open tens of thousands more. How long will the food last? When will the Grand Sima cross the river? If we can't wait for Grand Sima to cross the river and we will eat all the food, we may just be a turtle in the jar."

"Although I don't know how much food there is in the city, I can save money and spend three or four months. This time is enough. The Grand Sima will definitely come." Xu Huang's face showed a look of confidence, not in himself, but in Zhang Xiu.

It is awe-inspiring world, and it is also a great Sima Zhang.

This is a golden sign. After three or four months, Zhang Xiu has not been able to step into Hedong or Hanoi? What a joke.

After pausing, Xu Huang said to Yang Ning again: "As for how to kill the defending general, it is simple. Military guards Zhang Gui and Li Kuo are both fellow villagers in Hedong. We joined forces to kill the defending general Wu Chong by surprise, which is easy."

Yang Ning still lowered his head and thought about it. After all, this is a major matter of life and death. But as Xu Huang said, the skill of splashing the sky is right in front of him.

"Okay. I'll contact Zhang Gui and Li Kuo now." Yang Ning responded, turned around and left.

"With me, Xu Huang, here, it's hard for you to lose." Xu Huang's lips raised slightly, showed a little smile, and looked at the south, and his spirit rose.

It is extremely difficult to break a city from the outside, but it is much easier to break it from the inside.

Zhang Yang was from Bingzhou, and most of the generals he appointed were from Bingzhou.

Zhang Yang called himself the "Guard of Hedong County" and recruited all the soldiers and horses from Hedong County. This gave Xu Huang, who was also a native of Hedong County, an opportunity to take advantage of it.

It's a village party.

One day later, at noon, Yang Ning came to Xu Huang to see Xu Huang in the Xu Mansion study.

"Brother, the matter has been done. Zhang Gui and Li Kuo have agreed to raise an army. This is possible, this is the case." After Yang Ning entered the study, he bent down and held his ears in Xu Huang's ear and whispered.

"Okay, just follow the plan. You will leave the city immediately today and meet Niu Fu and others, and let them lead their troops to Yangxian." Xu Huang's tiger eyes flashed with his bright light and nodded.

"No." Yang Ning responded to the promise and turned around again.

After thinking for a while, Xu Huang summoned more than ten confidants under his command, killed two sheep, brought wine, carried wine and meat in a big cart, hidden swords and armor, and headed towards the south gate where Zhang Gui and Li Kuo were.

Xu Huang is a native of Yang County and has always been very favored. Although there were many soldiers patrolling in the city, he was evaded by him and arrived at the south gate without revealing his flaws.

The guard general Wu Chong had 10,000 troops and horses, divided into twenty military patrols, each of which led about 500 soldiers. Zhang Gui, Li Kuo and two other military patrols led 2,000 soldiers to guard the southern city gate.

The same is true for the other three city gates. Only Wu Chong led two thousand troops to entrench in the center of the city, which was both a central mobilization and a reserve team.

Most of the men under the command were from Hedong, and some people recognized Xu Huang. Without setting up in advance, someone led Xu Huang to Zhang Gui's tent. It happened that Zhang Gui and Li Kuo were both here, so they led Xu Huang in together.

Since the plan has been decided, there is nothing to say. Zhang Gui and Li Kuo asked the rest of the people to go down. The two of them personally helped Xu Huang put on armor and asked Xu Huang to enter the inner tent with a big knife.

After the ambush was completed, Zhang Gui sent someone to roast the mutton first, then set up the wine jar, and then sent someone to invite Wu Chong.

Not long after, Zhang Gui and Li Kuo came out of the tent together and went to the camp gate to welcome Wu Chong.

Before they could wait long, they saw Wu Chong leading more than a hundred personal soldiers coming by the sound of horse hooves.

"General Wu." The two of them were very respectful and polite, and bent down to salute Wu Chong.

"Zhang Junhou, Li Junhou." Wu Chong was an eight-foot-tall strong man with a handsome face. He did not doubt that he had him. He turned over and dismounted and bowed to the two of them.

After some conversation, the three of them came to the outside of the tent together. Two of Wu Chong's personal soldiers came in, and the rest were waiting outside the tent.

At this moment, the mutton in the big tent was roasted golden and fragrant.

"What a fatty breed. Where did you get it?" Wu Chong always loved to eat and drink. When he saw the roasted sheep, his eyes suddenly became straight and he asked.

"It's from the Xu family. Xu Huang has an old age with us. Today we are here to work hard. We sent a few sheep and some good wine. We invited the general to drink."

Zhang Gui smiled and bowed.

"Oh. It's that Xu Huang? I heard that he is a hero, but I haven't seen him before." Wu Chong nodded and said without knowing that his death date had arrived.

"What's the problem with the general to see Xu Huang?" The smile on Zhang Gui's face became a little weird.

"Oh?" Wu Chong was surprised. At this moment, Xu Huang walked out of the inner tent. Without waiting for Wu Chong to speak, he cut off Wu Chong's head with a knife.

Zhang Gui and Li Kuo also took action to kill the two personal soldiers brought in by Wu Chong.

"Things are done." Zhang Gui and Li Kuo showed joy. Xu Huang snorted coldly, then bent down and brought Wu Chong's head to the outside of the tent. He raised his head in front of more than a hundred personal soldiers of Wu Chong and said, "Wu Chong has been killed by me. If you are tactful and put down your weapons, I will not make things difficult for you. If you dare to resist, I will cheat you all."

"Kill!!!" Zhang and Gui walked out of the account, and with a roar, many soldiers walked out of the rest of the tents and surrounded the more than a hundred personal soldiers.

After looking at each other, all of them obediently put down their weapons. Then, Xu Huang asked someone to take Wu Chong's head and surrender the defenders of the other city gates.

Most military waiters chose to surrender, and some were killed in resistance.

After stabilizing the situation, Xu Huang turned over and came to the county yamen surrounded by more than ten personal soldiers, and summoned all the military guards.

In the hall, Xu Huang was sitting on Hu's bench wearing armor, and there was blood sprayed from Wu Chong on his body. He was strict and resolute and powerful, and he was in the hall, with a momentum like a mountain and a forest. In addition, the blood on his body was even more majestic.

Not long after, a total of eight military patrons arrived at the county yamen and arrived at the hall one after another. After waiting for the neat number of people, Xu Huang looked around at everyone and said, "Everyone. I have an old age with Grand Sima Zhang Gong. I don't need to say more about who Grand Sima Zhang Gong is. Wang Kuang, just a clown who jumped into the beam, could only defeat such mediocre talents as Niu Fu. When Grand Sima Zhang Gong arrived, the sun must be shining on the white snow, and the smoke disappeared. Hedong County and Henei County could be settled in an instant."

"I have also sent someone to notify Niu Fu and other generals. We will be in charge of Yang County and wait for the Grand Sima to come."

After hearing this, the military waiters outside Zhang Gui and Li Kuo were immediately excited. They were all afraid that Xu Huang would have no plans and no organizational actions.

Now, Xu Huang has plans. As for the Grand Sima, General of Cavalry, and Zhang Xiu, the Hou of Luyang, there is no need to say much.

Golden sign.

They joined forces with Niu Fu to defeat the army and defended the county town for more than 100% of the time.

"In addition, I believe you know that Zhang Dasima is a person. We are all meritorious ministers. When the Hanoi and Hedong counties are pacified, rewards will be made in accordance with merits and rewards."

Xu Huang smiled slightly and said.

"No." The morale of the army was even more energetic and he replied with a loud bang.
