There is Zhang Ning's Baibo Army in the east of Hedong, not to mention Luoyang, Dong Zhuo will send troops to fight, and there is Zhang Liao in Wei County, and there is also a large area in Hanoi County where the Black Mountain Army is active.

Liu Qing suddenly had an idea!

Yuan Shao came to the door, but he couldn't move. If he could eat the 30,000-strong army, how many weapons and horses would he get, and how much food and grass would he seize?

Mrs. Yuan has always been extremely fat.

"Madam, I'm going to the military camp!" Liu Qing said to Cai Yan.

Cai Yan raised his head, smiled at Liu Qing, nodded silently, and then immersed himself in writing again.

Not only are serious men very attractive, serious women are also very attractive.

Liu Qing left his mansion and went straight to the Yuan clan's camp.

Zhang He and Chu Yan have returned to the Yuan clan and are now living in Daying. Liu Qing's trip is to discuss the next action.

The camp was a little deserted. This was a barracks built for an army of 50,000 people. There are probably not even 5,000 soldiers inside now.

Zhang He only had two thousand halberd soldiers, while Chu Yan only had one thousand archers, and the rest were recruits recruited by Han Heng.

Liu Qing's arrival quickly alerted Zhang He and others. Before Liu Qing could enter the Chinese army's tent, Zhang He, Chu Yan, and Zhang Xiu, who had been staying in the camp, came to greet him.

"Zhang He pays homage to the lord!"

"Chu Yan pays homage to the lord!"

The two people, who had not seen each other for a long time, even knelt down with extra effort, fearing that Liu Qing would overlook their bravery.

"Zhang Xiu pays homage to King Bohai!"

Liu Qing helped several people up and entered the tent together.

"We haven't seen each other for several months, and the two generals are getting more and more energetic. I think they'll be exhausted after thinking about guarding the fortress for a long time!" Liu Qing said with a smile.

Zhang He and Chu Yan looked at each other and smiled sheepishly, obviously Liu Qing was right.

"Next, there will be a big battle waiting for you, you can be happy first!" Liu Qing said.

Zhang He's eyes suddenly lit up, looking forward to it, while Chu Yan grinned, and his look was very funny with his short, uneven beard that was not trimmed properly.

"But you have to face an enemy with ten times more troops and better food!" Liu Qing suddenly made a change.

Ten times the enemy, Zhang He's eyes lit up again when he heard this, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, while Chu Yan was stunned on the spot.

He and Jun Yi combined could only have 3,000 soldiers and horses, and if they were ten times more powerful than the enemy, that would be 30,000.

"But we still have reinforcements!" Liu Qing made another twist.

"But right now, I haven't contacted reinforcements yet." Liu Qing thought for a while and then said.

Zhang He, Chu Yan, and Zhang Xiu stood aside, as if waiting for the lord to finish speaking in one breath.

"Hanoi County is surrounded by mountains to the north and east, making it difficult to get supplies and is suitable for setting up ambushes. However, the west and south are densely covered with water systems, making it easy for the army to advance or retreat. In this way, 30,000 soldiers and horses entering Hanoi are like turtles entering an urn."

"Next, let me talk about deployment."

As soon as Liu Qing finished speaking, Zhang Xiu stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "King of Bohai, Zhang Xiu retires!"

Military deployment was a secret, so Zhang Xiu resigned consciously.

"It's okay, Youwei. Taiwei Dong is also involved in this matter. If you are willing, you can also participate!" Liu Qing said to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu paused and stopped where he was.

Liu Qing continued: "Zhang Ning in the east of the river has tens of thousands of soldiers. I would like to order him to send a light cavalry into Jiguan and into Hanoi to support the west. Junyi, you can lead your halberd soldiers southward and enter Hanoi from Heishan to fight with them.

Together with Zhang Liao, I think we will support the east side. In addition, Chu Yan, I have an important task to entrust to you!"

The stunned Chu Yan suddenly woke up, looked back at Liu Qing, and grinned again, almost making Liu Qing laugh out loud.

"The Black Mountain Army has thousands of soldiers, and they surrendered to Zhongshan County together with Zhang Niujiao. I have never forcibly demoted these people into laborers, just for today."

Chu Yan was confused. He had heard of the Black Mountain Army and Zhang Niujiao. He was the famous leader of the Black Mountain Army. In the past, he became a bandit and called himself the Black Mountain Army.

"I want you to take Zhang Niujiao back to the Black Mountains, gather all the Black Army Mountains, and attack Yuan Shao."

"Lord, did I hear you correctly? You want me to join the Montenegrin Army?"

"Well... it seems... it seems... it is true!" Liu Qing said, "But your ultimate goal is not Yuan Shao, but to gather all the Black Mountain troops who make a living by robbing homes and houses. Their number is probably in the hundreds of thousands.

Or even hundreds of thousands, to be precise, I plan to use you as a guide to surrender the entire Montenegrin army."

Liu Qing couldn't explain it more clearly. Chu Yan understood that Zhang Niujiao only led one part of the Black Mountain Army, but what Liu Qing wanted was everything!

"Chu Yan takes the order!"

"I will personally lead your archers. For this battle, I will personally go and meet Yuan Benchu. Youwei, you can go out with me!"

"Zhang Xiu takes the order!" Zhang Xiu replied solemnly.

Liu Qing's plan was to attack Zhang Ning and Chu Yan from the east and west. The Baibo Army in the west and the Black Mountain Army in the east. These two forces, in the eyes of outsiders, were both rebellious. In this way, Liu Qing could be prevented from ending directly.

Now that the Yuan family is gaining momentum, Liu Qing doesn't want to publicly break up with the Yuan family and trigger crazy revenge, especially a blow to his reputation. At this time, the Yuan family still has no solution.

As for why Liu Qing went to Hanoi, of course it was to defeat the Black Mountain Army!

However, whether it was a coincidence or a tacit understanding, Jia Xu set up a north-south pincer formation, while Liu Qing set up an east-west pincer formation.

This Yuan Shao is really going to become a turtle in a urn!
