Chapter 378: Let Them Attack
Liu Xian heard Liu Jie say that the Yellow Turban Army had come to the southwest of Beihai City for more than ten miles (at the end of the previous chapter, it was written as the north of the city, and now it has been corrected), and he said in his heart that this is the right reason, and his own secret camp has been scattered, and it is impossible for the Taishan Yellow Turban Army to kill directly under the city.
And the Taishan Yellow Turban Army came from the southwest direction, and this direction is also right. It's just a pity that now I don't have time to give them a head-on blow on their march.
But it's okay, let's come, now Beihai City is no longer unprepared, and only 20,000 or 30,000 Yellow Turban troops still want to fight Beihai City?
Sometimes, Liu Xian just thinks that the main reason is that the government is not strong, if it is powerful, in fact, why is he afraid of any thief?
Of course, if the court is clear and the government can be diligent and love the people, then why did the Han Dynasty fall to the current point? Where else are there so many bandits? Where will there be the Yellow Turbans?
It is precisely because of this kind of world that Liu Xian can meddle in a county government so easily, and even control a county Taishou.
Think about it, this is also the case, and then the heroes rose everywhere, how many princes started from one county and one county?
Liu Xian said to Liu Jie while getting dressed: "It's only ten miles away, don't panic, it is estimated that they will not attack immediately, they will definitely wait until the moment before dawn to kill Beihai City, so that they can have the effect of a surprise attack and catch us off guard." Now go and call them in commanding Sima Zheng Qing and Huang Zhong. ”
"Oh, good." Liu Jie saw that Liu Xian was so calm, and he panicked, and he calmed down a little, quickly responded, turned his head and left to call someone.
After a while, Liu Xian arrived at the official hall of the county government.
At this time, a group of civil officials had already gathered together, and they exchanged heads and ears in a panicked whisper.
Liu Jie has already brought Huang Zhong and Zheng Qing here.
"Young master, there are about 30,000 people in the Taishan Yellow Turban Army, but they are scattered in formation, everyone has no spirit, like a group of homeless people, and their marching array is very long, 30,000 horses, pulling out a marching array of more than ten miles, and the middle is still sparse, and there is no vigilance to be attacked halfway. This is like a thief army, there is no need to worry at all, and his subordinates suggested that he should lead two thousand caravan guards to launch a night attack on them overnight, and he would definitely be able to catch them off guard. Huang promised that he would be able to disperse their men and horses in one fell swoop and defeat them. ”
Huang Zhong saw Liu Xian and immediately stepped forward and asked Liu Xian to fight.
"Hmm......" Liu Xian raised his head and looked at Huang Zhong, but waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Zheng Jun Sima, what do you think?" ”
Liu Xian looked at Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qing did not hesitate, stood up straight, bowed to Liu Xian and said: "Young Master Liu Xian, I think this is a bit risky, after all, the Yellow Turban Army has 30,000 people, even if they are vulnerable, but it is still 30,000 people, if it is just to send 2,000 men and horses to attack, this ...... It's really hard to predict the end result. I think it's better to be safe. At present, we have made preparations, and the officers and soldiers, together with the Beihai garrison reserve army and those young and strong, have a total of tens of thousands, and after this urgent reorganization, they have become familiar with the essentials of defending the city. The result of the attack is unpredictable, but to defend the city, the last general believes that it will be able to hold it, at least for a while. ”
Liu Xian listened, nodded silently, glanced at the panicked officials below and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if the thief has appeared, so don't worry too much, as long as you do what you have arranged, do your own thing, do your job, and show your ability, then we Beihai will be safe and worry-free." Right now...... According to what Zheng Jun Sima said, there is no need to take the initiative to attack the Yellow Turban Army, let's defend the city first according to the plan. ”
"However, please note that from now on, Beihai City is on high alert, and everyone must keep an eye on all movements in the city, lest there be any internal response from the Yellow Turban Army in the city. If anyone dares to neglect his duties, then he will not be spared! ”
Liu Xianhu said with a majestic look.
"Yes, we will not dare to slack off." A group of officials hastened to express their positions.
"That's good, you're going to have to work hard tonight, and you can't rest. After the Yellow Turbans have reached the city and we have repelled their first wave of attacks, you will rest and rest according to the situation. After all, as long as you resist their initial attack first, then you can defeat them, and you won't let them kill into the city again. ”
Defending the city, there is no need for Liu Xian to arrange it, the earlier preparations have been made, and now it only needs to be carried out according to the plan.
Now in Beihai City, the people have gone from being unaware to suddenly hearing the news of the coming of the thieves to the panic when they are angry and ready to defend the city and prepare for war, in this process, the people have slowly calmed down, with the leadership of the government, they do have the backbone, and they will not be at a loss, and now the Yellow Turban Army is really here, but these will not make them afraid and helpless.
After further publicity, they all knew that only by themselves, only by working together of everyone in the city, could they resist the attack of the thieves, and it was possible to defend Beihai City, their homeland, and their families and relatives.
In fact, Liu Xian knew that if Huang Zhong led a group of men and horses to attack those Yellow Turban Army, and 30,000 people pulled out of a march formation of more than ten miles, it would indeed be vulnerable, and Liu Xian believed that Huang Zhong would definitely be able to defeat this Yellow Turban Army, even if they had 30,000 horses.
Huang Zhong added 300 cavalry, plus hundreds of infantry troops and archers, not too much, just more than 1,000 people, Liu Xian believed that he would definitely be able to defeat the Yellow Turban Army.
With Huang Zhong's bravery, there was no one in the Yellow Turban Army who could stop Huang Zhong's charge, and the impact of the cavalry was so great that it could impact all the way. When the time comes, it is not necessary to storm the entire marching formation, but only to defeat the vanguard that has routed them, and then they will be defeated.
In the case of Yangshi County, the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army will have a chain reaction, and it will lead to the defeat and flight of the whole army.
Liu Xian believed in Huang Zhong, and also thought that this could indeed defeat the invading enemy in one fell swoop and completely solve the North Sea crisis.
But Liu Xian didn't want to do it.
Liu Xian mobilized the people of the entire Beihai City to recruit troops and requisition materials, making a vigorous noise, and finally aroused the hearts of the military and people in the city to resist the enemy. But if they were defeated by their own Liu Mansion caravan without even seeing the shadow of the Yellow Turban Army, wouldn't their fierce operation be in vain?
Especially, if those thieves were not given the opportunity to come to the city, then how could they feel the importance of Liu Xian letting them prepare to defend the city?
Let the Yellow Turban Army kill under Beihai City, then the people of the entire Beihai City can see it. It turns out that there is really a Yellow Turban Army, and there are really so many people in the Yellow Turban Army. If it weren't for Liu Xian's timely mobilization of them to prepare to defend the city, they would have felt a burst of fear. Then, naturally, they would be grateful to Liu Xian from the bottom of their hearts, if it weren't for Liu Xian, they would probably really be attacked by the Yellow Turban Army to break through Beihai City and enter the city. When the time comes, all of them will suffer.
Therefore, Liu Xian thought about it in his heart and decided to let the people of Beihai City see that it was indeed the Yellow Turban Army that came to attack, not that he deceived them.
Then, let them see how their Liu Mansion caravan defeated the Yellow Turban Army under the city. In this way, they can establish a strong image of the Liufu caravan escort in their hearts, and at the same time, it can also make them build confidence that they can also resist the Yellow Turban Army and can defeat the Yellow Turban Army. Let them know that the Yellow Turban Army is not invincible, nor is it so terrible.
Liu Xian let the soldiers and civilians of Beihai City establish such confidence, which is also convenient, after Liu Xian left Beihai, they could still rely on their own strength to resist the Taishan Yellow Turban Army that may come back in the future.
From now on, to the next few years, Liu Xian believes that there will definitely not be only this time when the Yellow Turban Army will invade Beihai, and such a thing will definitely happen in the future.
Liu Xian planned that before he left Beihai, he would implement this method of preventing thieves and defending the city in all counties of Beihai County. In this way, all the counties below have the ability to confront the Yellow Turban Army, or the guts.
In this way, Liu Xian believes that it is necessary to let the Yellow Turban Army kill under the city, and let the soldiers and civilians of Beihai City see what the Yellow Turban Army is like, how fierce and strong, and how it was defeated by itself.
Huang Zhong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Xian's eyes.
"Zheng Jun Sima, it's up to you to defend the city this time. The men and horses of our Liu Mansion caravan will only hide for the time being, and they will suppress you in secret. When necessary, my men will kill, and even defeat the Yellow Turbans in one fell swoop. However, this premise really requires you to be able to defend Beihai City, if you can't hold it and let those Yellow Turban troops enter the city, then even if you can defeat and destroy them in the end, they will also cause irreversible disasters to our Beihai City. Do you have the confidence to hold Beihai City? Liu Xian said to Zheng Qing again.
"Young Master Liu Xian, please rest assured, the city is in the people, and the city is dead!" Zheng Qing said with a serious face.
"Good! Then please leave it to Zheng Jun Sima. ”
There was nothing to explain in particular, Liu Xian first asked them to prepare for the battle. At this moment, the Yellow Turban Army will not be killed immediately, so they can rest for a while, but at about four o'clock in the morning, they must let the horses climb to the top of the city, first hide their bodies on the city, and only wait for the thieves to kill and start the siege, so that they can deter the attacking Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop.
After everyone left, Liu Xian also sent Liu Jie, who was yawning, away.
"Young master, why bother?" Huang Zhong didn't understand what Liu Xian meant by not letting him lead his army to attack the invading Yellow Turban Army.
Liu Xian had to explain to Huang Zhong.
I see, it seems that this is really the case. If even the shadow of the thief is not seen by the soldiers and civilians of Beihai City, then how can they know the importance of you, young master? Then, it is better to simply let the Yellow Turban Army attack the city for a few more days. In this way, we can also show our achievements in defeating the Yellow Turban Army in the end, so that our Liu Mansion caravan will be more prestigious. ”
"Hehe, yes, but you have to lead the cavalry and another group of men and horses out of the city to hide first." Liu Xian smiled and said to Huang Zhong: "Our preparations are too hasty, in just half a day and one night, the combat effectiveness of those preparatory men and horses is really limited." Fortunately, they are just defending the city, and they don't have to directly fight the Yellow Turban Army head-on at the head of the city, otherwise, they will definitely lose. But you also have to be careful, in case you can't hold the city walls, you can lead your men and horses to fight and defeat the Yellow Turban Army. ”
"It's still the young master who is cautious, so it's really foolproof."
"If Beihai City is defended, then you will continue to hide outside the city. However, at most, you can only let the Yellow Turbans attack the city for three days, and after three days, you will have to attack the Yellow Turbans. Liu Xian said.
"Only let the Yellow Turban Army attack the city for three days? Three days later, Huang had to attack them? Why is that? Huang Zhong didn't quite understand, in his heart, he felt that Beihai City let the thieves besiege and besiege the city for as long as possible, and when they defeated the Yellow Turban Army and saved Beihai City, they could get more praise.
Liu Xian shook his head and said: "The Yellow Turban Army is not stupid, they can't attack Beihai City in three days, and they dare to continue the siege?" This time, they dared to come to attack Beihai City, I am afraid that the wealth is still moving, and they are brave to come. If they find that the siege cannot be carried out, and many people are killed and wounded, then where do they dare to attack the city? When the time comes, I am afraid that I will have to retreat, and I will have to flee back to the mountains. Therefore, you have to attack them before they escape, right under Beihai City, and let the soldiers and civilians of Beihai City see how we defeated the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army. Of course, I will also come out of the city to meet you. ”
"Understood, then Huang will go and prepare now and take people out of the city."
"Each soldier took enough food for them for three or four days to go out of the north of the city. No need to alarm others. ”
"Yes, the young master should be careful in the city."
"Don't worry, Wang Yue is here."
Huang Zhong didn't say much, retreated, and went to order troops out of the city.
Liu Xian didn't go to rest again, but just sat in the official hall for a while, closing his eyes and recuperating.
It didn't take long for him to feel that the time was almost up, so he got up and asked Zheng Bo to call Liu Jie, surrounded by a team of officers and soldiers and Liu Xian's guards, and quietly walked to the gate tower in the south of the city.
The darkness before dawn seemed a little quiet inside and outside the entire Beihai City.
At this time, the people in the city were already asleep, and the thieves really came, so Liu Xian naturally would not let people publicize it in the city, nor would he immediately leak it to the people.
Only in this way can we create the illusion that Beihai City is completely defenseless. In this way, those Yellow Turban Army will have the audacity to come and attack Beihai City.
Liu Xian was worried that if those Yellow Turban soldiers knew in advance that Beihai City was ready to defend the city, then they wouldn't dare to come.
Also, Liu Xian was worried that when the Yellow Turban Army came to attack Beihai, but found that Beihai City had already prepared, would they retreat immediately?
