Chapter 6: The Strange Zhao Dong
After Xue Yun issued the order, the whole army also moved.
Only Xu Youtian Feng and the others were still in the camp and did not leave.
At this time, Xu You said, "My lord, this method can be used at most this afternoon, after which Zhao Dong and the others will definitely know what is going on, and by tomorrow morning, they will definitely attack us with all their might, but the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, as well as their reinforcements, will arrive at noon tomorrow at the earliest, what should we do at that time?" ”
Xue Yun's plan was just a method of delay, in order to delay the time until noon tomorrow, and only at that time would they have no worries.
It's just that the Yellow Turban Army is not a wine bag and rice bag, especially that Zhao Dong, although he is a demoted general, he can stand out and become the protector second only to Zhang Jiao, which shows that he cannot be ignored.
Moreover, according to the information obtained by Xu You, Zhao Dong was a wise general with great strategy when he was still a general defending the city.
In order to deal with him, the Yellow Turban Army not only used more than three times the number of soldiers compared to Zhao Dong.
Moreover, Zhang Jiao personally led the army, and there were countless generals and strategists under his command.
It can be said that the number of soldiers in that expedition may not be the largest for the Yellow Turban Army.
But that lineup is the most luxurious.
It can be seen that when facing Zhao Dong, Zhang Jiao, who is the hero of today's generation, is also cautious.
But for Zhao Dong's surrender without a fight, even Zhang Jiao was surprised.
thought there was fraud in this, so he didn't dare to entrust him with a heavy task at first, but just let him be a small captain.
It's just that in the subsequent battles, Zhao Dong made one battle exploit after another and laid down a lot of cities.
This made the doubts in Zhang Jiao's heart disappear little by little, and he was finally entrusted with a heavy task.
Regarding Zhao Dong's behavior of joining the Yellow Turban Army, many people think that he is a bad breed, greedy for life and afraid of death.
Xue Yun also knew about Zhao Dong in the previous meeting.
After knowing his deeds and the identity of the general, he also felt the difference.
If this Zhao Dong is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, then joining the Yellow Turban Army can be completely inconspicuous, and it is not very good to be calm and quiet, and there is no need to charge into battle, so eye-catching.
Furthermore, he could choose to be a deserter.
Although deserters and surrenders are shameful.
But in that case, there was certainly not as much talk of desertion as there were of surrenders.
"It seems that he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so why did he join the Yellow Turban Army and was willing to bear the infamy?"
Xue Yun couldn't figure out what Zhao Dong was doing this for.
"Forget it, don't think about it, if my plan can succeed, I will catch that Zhao Dong, and when I ask, it will all be clear."
At this moment, a general ran in and said, "Lord Qiqi, we have caught all the birds in the city, but there are less than three hundred. ”
"Not enough, the five hundred I said, not one less, they are the key to whether we can defeat the Yellow Turban Army. Go and figure out how to attract the birds from outside the city. By the way, there is one more thing, these birds can't feed them a grain of rice, and water can't do it, is it clear? ”
Xue Yun said solemnly.
"Yes, the Admiral understands." After saying that, he withdrew.
After a while, Xu Yu asked puzzledly, "Lord, now that the two armies are fighting, what do you want these little birds to do?" ”
Xue Yun looked at Tian Feng, and Tian Feng also shook his head, expressing puzzlement.
Xue Yun laughed and said, "Haha, when the time comes, you will know, these little birds are my 'air force', which can be worth 100,000 male soldiers." ”
"Air Force? Lord, what is this? "Tian Feng has never heard of this military branch.
He was familiar with infantry, cavalry, heavy armor and the like. But this "Air Force" was the first time he had heard of it.
"Huh?" Xue Yun didn't pay attention to what he said, and hurriedly said, "That 'Air Force', you will know when the time comes." Alright, it's time for me to go up the castle tower and check on the battle. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Xu Yu and the two to salute, they left in a hurry.
Tian Feng said to Xu You, "Brother Xu, have you heard of the 'Air Force' that the lord said just now?" ”
Xu You also shook his head, saying that he didn't know.
Then the two of them left the hall with questions.
Xue Yun came to the city tower, and the surrounding soldiers saw him and hurriedly saluted.
Xue Yun opened his mouth and said, "How is it?" How's the battle going? ”
"Enlighten the Lord." Zhang He said: "Before, our generals had already beheaded the enemy generals under their horses. Now General Hong is fighting below, and has been following the strategy of the lord, and has not killed the enemy immediately. ”
Xue Yun nodded.
Zhao Dong sent some young generals, and none of the six generals beside him made a move.
It's just that they include Zhao Dong, who are more or less injured.
It seems that Xue Yun's plan to burn down the camp is perfect.
On the side of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhao Dong's face was very gloomy, and the general on the side said loudly, "Protector, no, I know Yuan Shao's general, he is a fierce general in Yuan Shao's hands, although he is not Yan Liangwen's opponent, but he is also more powerful than the previous general." And the generals we sent twice were about the same strength, and our generals were killed in a few rounds before. Now this can actually tie with Yuan Shao's fierce general, how is this possible? ”
After listening to the general's analysis, Zhao Dong also thought about it, this is indeed something wrong, but he can't say what the reason is.
At this moment, Xue Yun opened his mouth and said, "General Hong, come back." ”
In fact, this General Hong had just beaten without a stick of incense, and Xue Yun suddenly asked him to go back, and General Hong could only obey the order.
Then the two armies stopped fighting, and General Hong returned to the castle tower and asked, "Why doesn't the lord let me continue fighting?" ”
Xue Yun smiled and said, "General Hong is my fierce general, we know this in our hearts, don't those generals on the other side know it in their hearts?" Think about it, they are an ordinary young general, and they can fight with my fierce generals without winning or losing. How? Are their generals too powerful, or are my generals too weak? ”
That's right, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.
Previously, they had been fighting according to Xue Yun and Tian Feng's words, and they only paid attention to using the strategy of "dragging" to the extreme without the other party noticing.
All the generals realized that they had overlooked another important factor, and that was strength.
A famous general can kill an unknown general in a few rounds, and the world will think that this is normal.
But if this general can fight with a famous general for dozens of rounds in a row, and there is no difference between victory and defeat, this will make people aware of the problems inside.
Sure enough, Zhao Dong saw that there was a problem here, but he just didn't know what the problem was.
Suddenly he had a guess, but he wasn't sure.
So a weaker general was sent out.
If this general is killed in an instant, it proves that his conjecture is superfluous.
Otherwise, they are stalling for time.
At that time, Zhao Dong will give the order - to attack the city.
