Episode 0249: Bargaining Chips

The two consecutive victories of the Yellow Turban Army are undoubtedly a timely rain, although it still can't change the future and fate of the Yellow Turbans, but it can give the Yellow Turbans a boost of momentum, and even the morale of the Yellow Turbans has rebounded a little.

And after the two victories of the Yellow Turban, it also reminded the armies of the Han Dynasty that although the Yellow Turban was about to be destroyed, it was not something that cats and dogs could attack at will.

Under such circumstances, all the armies were temporarily silent, and they were all looking forward to Peng Yu's Puyang army being able to act, but Peng Yu, who was in Puyang, just ignored other things and was bent on emptying Puyang City.

So far, the yellow scarf has been given a one-month repair period in such a difficult and difficult environment.

This month is undoubtedly too important for the Yellow Turban, in a month, Zhang Liang indisputably served as the third commander of the Yellow Turban, although the momentum and strength of the Yellow Turban Army are not as good as before, but fortunately in the north of the Yellow River can still stand on its foot, especially under the encouragement of Zhang Liang, Nanpi, Yecheng, and Pingyuan The three cities were somewhat united, and everyone rose up as one.

Zhang Liang's efforts north of the Yellow River were impressive, and the three cities cooperated with each other and defended each other, which made the armies of Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan a little helpless.

It was not that there was no war in a month, but some thunder was loud and the rain was small, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Liu Bei could send troops to attack Yecheng at the same time, but Gongsun Zhan, who was far north, could not cooperate in time to attack Nanpi at the same time.

In this case, the enemy is outnumbered, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Liu Bei do not dare to let go and attack the city with all their might, and the Yellow Turban is indeed defending the city with all their might, so although the Yellow Turban can't fight for the time being, these people can't fight either, forming a stalemate.

In a month, Peng Yu's cavalry was undoubtedly the busiest team, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, and Hua Xiong looked at Peng Yu's busy figure and secretly smacked their tongues.

After a month of getting along, the relationship between the four seems to be more than before, especially Hua Xiong and Dian Wei are like brothers.

Hua Xiong looked at Peng Yu's back and asked, "Old Dian, is the general going to hollow out Puyang and move it away?" ”

Dian Wei looked at Peng Yu commanding the carrying brigade composed of the people, and the ox cart that couldn't even fit a grain of rice, and nodded suspiciously, "It should be!" ”

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao could only shake their heads and smile bitterly when they looked at Peng Yu.

It turned out that Peng Yu was just trying to transport grain at the beginning of Puyang, but since Peng Yu personally looked at the inventory in Puyang City, Rao is Peng Yu is well-informed, and he is also one of the richest people in the world, and he is also very excited.

Puyang, as the base camp of the two generations of commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, is also the place where the Yellow Turban Army looted property from the land of Bazhou, or the place where the Golden Army is stationed, and it is also a place for hoarding equipment and baggage.

There are too many materials in Puyang, so that the cavalry can undoubtedly be transported in a drop in the bucket, and it will not be transported to the year of the monkey, so Peng Yu forced the people of Puyang to send strong people to participate in the handling, of course, at the time of handling, you can legally obtain one-fifth of the transported items, in this case, the people of Puyang are boiling, just run errands, waste a handful of energy can get so many materials, are overjoyed, and actively participate in it.

In this way, under the leadership of Peng Yu, a vigorous ant move began, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao did not even dare to go down the city wall, for fear that these people would carry the city gates.

Peng Yu's large-scale transportation completely relieved the pressure on Xun Yu in Xingyang City, the number of these prisoners was too many, and Lu Bu's soldiers were only 10,000 people, once there was a riot due to lack of food, I am afraid that there would be a big chaos immediately.

Fortunately, Peng Yu's material resources continued to come to Xingyang, and the Yellow Turban army saw that seeing was believing, seeing such a huge amount of grain and grass, and the advocacy of Zhou Cang, Bai Que, and Zhang Tu, the Yellow Turban captives became more and more relieved in their hearts.

After another large number of materials from Puyang were transported into Xingyang, Xun Yu finally put his mind at ease, although this could not solve the long-term plan, it was more than enough to support half a year.

Xun Yu looked at Lu Bu not far away, and he was even more appreciative in his heart, this military general is afraid that there is no one in the world.

It turned out that in Xingyang City, when a Yellow Turban Qu Shuai led a small-scale Yellow Turban Army to suddenly riot on the grounds of lack of food, Lu Bu single-handedly entered the battle, beheaded hundreds of people, and returned the head of the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, which made the Yellow Turban Army stunned and speechless.

Since then, the Yellow Turban Army has never dared to think about it in the slightest, after all, although it is not enough to eat, it is better than death.

Under Xun Yu's appeasement, Lu Bu's suppression, and Peng Yu's handling of a large number of materials, the Xingyang Yellow Turban is temporarily stable, after all, Peng Yu never kills prisoners, and even treats prisoners badly, and aren't the people who take care of him all Yellow Turban Army who 'wake up early' and 'turn back early'?

Under such circumstances, Peng Yu's more than 200,000 Yellow Turban captives were almost stable in one month.

Puyang City, Taishou Mansion.

Peng Yu has been tired and half dead in recent days, and finally sent away the last batch of transport brigades, and immediately hid in the Taishou Mansion to rest, which was inevitably disturbing, and Peng Yu even asked Dian Wei to stay outside the mansion, threatening that no one should disturb.

Historically, Dian Wei was outside Cao Cao, and even Cao Ren could not enter Cao Cao's inner room, and Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Hua Xiong certainly could not enter.

When Peng Yu finally recovered his spirit and walked into the Taishou Mansion, he found that Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Hua Xiong were all waiting outside the mansion, with a face full of urgency, as if something had happened.

Peng Yu thought secretly, could it be that he had dug up a treasure in Puyang again?

Peng Yu smiled and asked, "Why are the three of you here?" ”

Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said, "Tell the general, the white horse Cao Cao sent an envoy to come, and he has been waiting in the city for several hours." ”

Peng Yu was a little puzzled, and secretly thought in his heart that the White Horse sent an envoy to come and borrow troops again?

But Cao Cao's name made the traverser Peng Yu dare not offend, and immediately said, "Hurry up, please"

"Yes, General"

……

After Cao Cao's envoy explained, Peng Yu understood that Cao Cao, who was north of the Yellow River, had learned a lesson, contacted Gongsun Zan in the north, and agreed to attack Yecheng and Nanpi at the same time, so that the Yellow Turban could not take care of each other, so as to defeat Yecheng and Nanpi who had taken the Yellow Turban Army.

And Cao Cao is very proficient in military strategy, and he is a cautious and cautious person, when he agreed to attack Yecheng with Zhang Miao on both sides, although the connection between Chen Liu's Yellow Turban and Yecheng Yellow Turban was almost cut off by Peng Yu, Cao Cao was still worried that the Yellow Turban Army would cut off his own way of return from Chen Liu's army to Guandu and then take the white horse, so he wanted Peng Yu to garrison Guandu or directly attack Chen Liu.

According to Cao Cao's plan, as long as Peng Yu made Chen Liu unable to sneak attack his rear, he and Zhang Miao would definitely be able to capture Yecheng together, but Cao Cao also knew that Peng Yu was guarding Puyang, and Guandu was Peng Yu's jurisdiction, and if he went out to occupy Guandu privately, he was afraid of offending Peng Yu, so Cao Cao sent an envoy to meet with Peng Yu.

Cao Cao seemed to be quite jealous of Peng Yu, and when the envoy came, he also proposed a bargaining chip, which made Peng Yu a little dumbfounded, and had to sigh at Cao Cao's generosity.

It turned out that Cao Cao and Zhang Miao combined, this Liu Bei's team in the east and west to attack Yecheng must have no combat effectiveness, but it is more than enough for him to guard Guandu, so Cao Cao's envoy said that no matter whether Peng Yu is willing to attack Chen Liu, or to guard Guandu, Cao Cao is willing to send Liu Bei under his command to lead more than 10,000 soldiers to accompany him.

Peng Yu was a little ridiculous about Cao Cao's proposal, the founder of Shu in history, the dignified emperor, was actually used by Cao Cao as a bargaining chip, and Liu Bei was so miserable, which also made Peng Yu feel a little sympathetic.

Besides, Peng Yu attacked the Yellow Turban all the way, Cao Cao indirectly helped him the most, and they were all Hanchen, and they were colleagues, Peng Yu immediately agreed to Cao Cao's proposal, and promised to immediately send troops to the town to guard Guandu, and let Cao Cao rest assured that there would be no problems in the back road, as for Liu Bei, he should continue to attack Yecheng with Cao Cao.

Peng Yu's refreshing reply made the envoy a little embarrassed, it turned out that when Cao Cao proposed, he asked Liu Bei to lead more than 10,000 people to Puyang, and now Peng Yu replied like this, wouldn't it let Liu Bei run for nothing?

Peng Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and in the stunned eyes of the envoy, Peng Yu nodded and agreed, since Liu Bei came to Puyang, let him come.
