"Zhongde, actually I have a way..."

He couldn't let this guy continue speaking.

If he continued, and really turned these tens of thousands of people into military rations, would he want it or not?

"It's like this, Zhongde, I actually have a layout in Jizhou, but I can't take care of the Jizhou side for the time being."

Duan Yu said: "I won't hide it from you, Zhongde, the Yellow Turban thief leader, the Great Virtuous Teacher Zhang Jiao, is now under my control."

"Ah?"

Cheng Yu was stunned on the spot.

His eyes were wide open.

Duan Yu nodded: "This is true. My subordinates in Jizhou saved Zhang Jiao by chance."

"And there were some changes in the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou. Now my subordinates are lurking beside Zhang Jiao, and it can almost be said that they have controlled Zhang Jiao."

"Jizhou is a big game of chess, but it lacks some manpower now."

"I have an idea, Zhongde, listen to see how it is."

Cheng Yu nodded hurriedly.

Duan Yu called Tie Shitou to bring the map.

Duan Yu pointed to the map of Yanzhou and said: "Yanzhou is adjacent to Jizhou. Going north from Donge, there are places like Qinghe State and Anping State."

"Nowadays, the Yellow Turban Army is rampant in these places, almost everywhere."

"And my subordinates are currently in Anping State."

"My idea is..."

Duan Yu looked at Cheng Yu and said: "We will cooperate to stage a play, and this play also needs Xue Fang."

"I will lead the army out tomorrow and leave Donge County. Zhongde, you will directly impersonate a Yellow Turban Qu-commander, and let Xue Fang cooperate to release the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thief soldiers in Donge County."

"And Zhongde, you will lead this unit of Yellow Turban thief soldiers north to Jizhou, head to Anping State, and meet up with my subordinates."

Cheng Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The Marquis means... let me impersonate a Qu-commander of the Yellow Turban Army, gather the Yellow Turban rebel soldiers in Jizhou, and then go to Zhang Jiao's side to completely control Zhang Jiao?"

"Marquis, this plan... this plan is wonderful." Cheng Yu's expression was brilliant.

Duan Yu let out a long breath.

This was just something he thought of on the spur of the moment.

He would need the population welfare of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army in the future.

If he wanted to migrate the refugees of Jizhou into Liangzhou, he first needed a good reputation.

If he really raised his butcher knife, then how would the pacified Yellow Turban Army and those refugees be willing to enter Liangzhou?

And leaving these Yellow Turban soldiers in Dong Commandery to fend for themselves was not a solution.

Dong Commandery was adjacent to Jizhou, unlike the Yingchuan and Runan areas.

In case Cheng Yu, who was good at "cooking people," really did something shocking.

The plan to migrate the population to Liangzhou might go bankrupt.

Coming from Liangzhou to suppress the Yellow Turban Army was a money-losing business.

Sending people, sending effort, and spending money, but in the end, getting nothing.

Migrating the Yellow Turban Army to Liangzhou was a grand strategy, and he couldn't tell Cheng Yu yet.

But letting Cheng Yu go to Jizhou and layout with Jia Xu, Liu Baituo, and Jia Dong in Jizhou was still good.

If Cheng Yu could really gather the Yellow Turban thief soldiers and gather them around Zhang Jiao.

That would be equivalent to completely controlling Zhang Jiao.

Cheng Yu had this convenience; after all, Cheng Yu was not yet famous.

He could just lie about his background or something.

"Does Zhongde think it's okay?" Duan Yu asked, looking at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu nodded repeatedly: "The Marquis's strategy is ten times better than this subordinate's!"

Duan Yu dared not admit it.

He thought to himself, I was forced into this by you.

"Good, since that's the case, then it's settled."

Subsequently, Duan Yu clapped his hands.

Two people dressed in black robes walked out from behind the screen behind Duan Yu.

The two were a man and a woman, both wrapped in black robes and wearing black hats, making it hard to see their faces clearly.

"Zhongde, these two will stay by your side. They have ways to contact my subordinates in Jizhou so that you can establish contact."

"Also, I will let my army's general Zhang Xiu go with you, and in addition, I will give you two thousand troops to suppress these surrendered Yellow Turban soldiers."

"Do you need anything else?"

Cheng Yu shook his head hurriedly.

Then he stood up and bowed respectfully to Duan Yu: "What virtue or ability does this subordinate have to receive such trust from the Marquis? Zhongde will naturally serve until his death!"

Early the next morning.

Duan Yu led Lu Bu and three thousand cavalrymen to leave Donge County.

As for how to operate later, Duan Yu had already handed over full authority to Cheng Yu to handle, and Xue Fang and the others would obediently cooperate after receiving the order.

Next, Duan Yu needed to deal with the matters in Yingchuan.

Yingchuan.

Changshe.

More than half a month had passed since Changshe was besieged by Bo Cai's army.

At this time, the entire Changshe was like dead silence.

Morale was low, and grain and grass were scarce.

Every day, a large number of soldiers deserted.

Regarding this, Huangfu Song expressed that he had no way.

Outside Changshe city, the more than 100,000 Yellow Turban Army led by Bo Cai surrounded Changshe on all four sides, and surrounded it without attacking, with an obvious intention, which was to take Changshe without spending a single soldier.

At this time, in the county government hall in the city.

Huangfu Song, with a worried look and a full beard, sat in the main seat.

The high spirits he had when he was enfeoffed as the Left General of the Household in Luoyang more than a month ago were long gone.

The Army Supervisor Fu Xie, and a young man were sitting on both sides below Huangfu Song.

The three of them were all worried.

"Report!"

Outside the hall, a soldier walked into the hall in a hurry, with joy on his face.

"Reporting to the General, the soldiers on the city wall just received a letter shot from outside the city."

"It is signed by the Right General of the Household!"

Upon hearing the words "Right General of the Household," Huangfu Song's eyes immediately lit up.

"Quick, bring it up!"
