Episode 0230: Embattled

February 2, 187.

Yellow Turban, Puyang.

Chinese Army, off-the-books.

He Man had been wandering outside the big tent for half an hour, holding an urgent military information in his hand, but he was pacing back and forth, his face was full of hesitation, and it seemed that he could not make up his mind.

This battle report was sent back to Puyang by Huang Shao, because the news of the rout on the left side of the Yellow Turban received half a month ago was too shocking, and the marshal Zhang Bao did not believe it at all, and sent Huang Shao to make a special trip to find the news.

This battle report is undoubtedly very important, and even affects the decision-making of the marshal, and even affects the safety of the Yellow Turban, so this Huang Shao quickly whipped back and forth, and when Huang Shao brought back the news, Huang Shao was already tired to the point of being unconscious, so this battle report was handed over to He Man, the patrol in the city.

He Man should have reported this battle to the big tent half an hour ago, but he was worried that the handsome Zhang Bao would not be able to accept this blow at all!

What a blow!

The Bocai Department of the Left Route Army, which the Marshal and the Yellow Turban Army were waiting for, was wiped out outside Hangu Pass, and Wuguan was lost! Wancheng is lost! Xuchang is lost!

In other words, the Left Army is finished!

This is how He Man could bear to hand over this battle report to Zhang Bao's hands, but if he didn't hand it over, he would be suspected of delaying the fighter, so He Man hesitated and made a decision.

Suddenly, there was a neighing sound of horses, and He Man looked up, and it turned out to be Qu Shuai Zhang Tu.

Seeing that Zhang Tu's face was also full of anxiety, it seemed to be more urgent, He Man secretly sighed, it's really not going well recently, why is everyone in the yellow scarf having a difficult face?

Zhang Tu said, "He Shuai, why don't you step into the account?" ”

He Man smiled bitterly, handed over the battle report, Zhang Tu looked at the results carefully, for a long time, Zhang Tu's hand trembled slightly, his face became extremely pale, and he seemed to be a little unconvinced, after reading it several times in a row, he finally handed the battle report to He Man with a black face, and the two were relatively speechless.

After a long time, He Man asked softly, "I don't know what news Zhang Shuai has brought back?" ”

Zhang Tu's face turned a little more worried, He Man only felt very strange in his heart, could there be anything worse than the news he brought back, secretly swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and prepared to welcome the news.

The message is simple, just one sentence!

Zhang Tu let out a long sigh, and there seemed to be deep exhaustion in his voice, "He went back to the tiger prison." ”

He Man was taken aback, and immediately understood who Zhang Tu was talking about, no need to ask, there was only one person that the Yellow Turban Army was most afraid of.

Peng Yu!

The two hesitated outside the tent for a while, feeling that they couldn't hide it, the two cheered each other up, took a deep breath, gritted their teeth and stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army.

The Chinese military tent, the commander of the canal.

Zhang Bao seemed to be discussing something with Zhongqu Shuai, He Man and Zhang Tu glanced at each other, and secretly thought in their hearts that no matter what everyone discussed, I am afraid that the arrival of these two news, all the things discussed will change again.

"Report, marshal, Huang Shao is reporting the urgent military situation."

Zhang Bao turned his head and saw that his hair had already turned gray, and the position of the yellow turban coach was by no means so easy, there were too many things that needed to be decided by the marshal, and the pressure was too great, so it was so.

"Reading"

"This, I'm afraid ......"

"Read!"

"Tell the marshal, the Yellow Turban Left Route Army was defeated by Peng Yu's army, the Bocai Department was annihilated, and Wuguan, Wancheng, and Xuchang were all under Peng Yu."

"Hiss" Zhongqu Shuai gasped, and their eyes widened with disbelief.

Zhang Bao's face was as usual, as if he had expected it, and turned his head to look at Zhang Tu, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"Report, big handsome, I found out the news of the Tiger Prison Pass today."

"Say"

"Peng Yu, Peng Yu has returned to the Tiger Prison a few days ago"

"Ah," the crowd whispered.

Zhang Bao's eyes flashed with anger, "Peng Yu has returned to the Tiger Prison?" ”

"Exactly!"

Zhang Baowei nodded, "I know, let's sit down." ”

He Man and Zhang Tu each found a place to sit down.

Zhang Bao pointed at Liu Bi and Li Damu and said, "Tell me about your news."

Liu Pi got up and said, "Dashuai, Guan Hai was defeated by Sun Jian, and now he has retreated to Xiaopei, and Xia Picheng has been under Sun Jian. ”

Li Damu got up and said, "Dashuai, according to Nanpi Zhang Yanlai's report, Gongsun Chan raised 30,000 troops in Beiping, and is now fighting with Zhang Yan. ”

Zhang Bao's face was still normal, but he nodded slightly, "Got it, sit"

For a while, in the big tent, everyone frowned and didn't say a word.

The Yellow Turban has been in trouble recently, the Left Route Army was defeated by Peng Yu, the Right Route Army was blocked by Cao Yuan, and the North Corner Gongsun Zan raised troops to go south Zhang Yan struggled to support, and Sun Jian in the east waved his army westward almost Pingchuan!

The yellow scarf looks embattled!

Everyone was silent, and they really couldn't understand why the situation of the Yellow Turban was so difficult in just one year, especially the defeat of the left and right Route Army, so that Puyang Yellow Turban had no help, and the fire in the backyard made Puyang a little stretched, which made everyone even more difficult to accept was that Puyang was helpless about it, and he couldn't even come up with a plan to deal with it.

Everyone only felt that the yellow scarf was about to end.

After a year of getting along, everyone also knows the difference between Zhang Bao and Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao made a quick decision when he encountered something, although it was inevitable that he would not think it through, but he could immediately mobilize the direction of the Yellow Turban Army, although at the time of defeat, the crisis was Ruosi, and there was not even food for the soldiers, but on the whole, Zhang Jiao was the commander, and the general trend of the Yellow Turban Army was still good, except for being defeated by Peng Yu head-on, the others were under Zhang Jiao's control.

And Zhang Bao likes to convene everyone to discuss together, and then come up with a plan that meets the needs of everyone to implement, this way in the Yellow Turban when the good times, of course, the handsome will be concentric, each is satisfied, but in adversity, the shortcomings of this method are fully exposed.

For example, when the left army attacked Hangu, Puyang Qu Shuai split into two factions, one faction demanded to attack the Tiger Prison immediately, and the other faction asked to stick to Puyang to wait for the news of Hangu, the two factions disputed, Zhang Bao was in a dilemma, and finally waited for Zhang Bao to make up his mind to attack the Tiger Prison, but the backyard caught fire, at that time, the Qu Shuai attacked the Tiger Prison and divided into two factions, one faction regardless of the behind, storming the Tiger Prison, and the other faction immediately rescued the rear first.

In short, before making a decision, Qu Shuai will argue endlessly, Zhang Bao is difficult to conclude, and finally the attack on the tiger prison has come to naught, and the return to the rear has become a joke.

All the Qu Shuai were silent, all of them were reflecting, in fact, no matter which one of them is made immediately, it will not cause the current predicament, attack the tiger prison, return to the rear, if you are full of strength, even if you can't take the tiger prison, but Gongsun Chan and Sun Jian will not be able to achieve the current tail of the momentum, and they each led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so that the Yellow Turban Army is like a fish in the throat, but there is nothing to be done!

All the Qu Shuai sighed in their hearts, how to get out of the current predicament of the Yellow Turban? Everyone has no bottom, but fortunately, Zhang Bao's psychological endurance is very strong, and he can still be calm as usual under such a crisis situation, but where should the yellow scarf go?
