Chapter 76: Fooled

Without further ado, Zhang Liang personally led an army of 100,000 to Xishan for an ambush.

Only less than 20,000 remnants of the defeated army were handed over to Huang Ye, and he was told that he must beware of Yuan Shao's scouts, so that they could not see the signs that his army had left the camp.

Huang Ye nodded and agreed, he left the banner of the whole army, and when he was cooking, there was cooking smoke everywhere, putting on a suspicious formation, so that Yuan Shao couldn't tell the truth or falsehood.

I have to say that in addition to being brutal by nature, this yellow leaf is still a bit military-minded.

So at night, Zhang Liang had already sent a large army to ambush on both sides of Xishan, waiting for the reinforcements led by Zhang He to pass through here, and then give them a surprise attack.

It's just that they waited for three hours, but they still didn't see any sign of a large army marching here.

Although the letter said that it was from Xishan for rescue, it did not say the specific departure time.

According to Zhang Liang's guess, when Yuan Shao saw that his love was about to be under siege, he must have been worried.

Therefore, the reinforcements sent should be sent sooner rather than later, and it is not easy to be discovered by Zhang Liang by using the night as a cover.

It's just that he didn't wait for the fish to take the bait, and Zhang Liang's heart was also anxious.

But he had no choice but to continue to wait here.

In the Yellow Turban Army camp outside Jizhou City, except for some patrol soldiers, the rest of the people have already returned to the camp to rest.

At this time, the two Yellow Turban soldiers who were patrolling the outermost part of the country were bored, so they chatted casually.

"Hey, you say, can the Rengong side win?"

Another replied, "You're not talking nonsense? But the people took away our army of 100,000. In the daytime battle, we suffered heavy losses, but the Yuan family army lost many more people than us. Moreover, this is still the effect achieved when we are defenseless, which shows that our combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Yuan family's army. Even if Yuan Shao sent all his troops over, it would be more than lucky. ”

After hearing this, the man nodded repeatedly, "What you said makes sense. Well, you're waiting here for me, I'm a little sick to my stomach, I'll be back soon. ”

So after the man left, only one Yellow Turban Army was left, and the Yellow Turban Army walked back and forth without the slightest appearance of patrolling.

It seemed that he was not worried at all, Yuan Shao would send an army to attack them.

But at this moment, behind him, a figure suddenly jumped out, holding a short knife, against his throat.

"Don't scream, if you want to live, just answer me a question." ”

The Yellow Turban Army was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly said, "Big brother spare his life, the little one must know everything, and he will say everything." ”

This kind of scared behavior of peeing your pants is not at all like the kind of frightening human army.

"The question is very simple, what is the password of your Yellow Turbans? Say it. ”

After the question was asked, the Yellow Turban felt the dagger get closer to his neck.

"Don't, don't! I said that the password was to capture Yuan Shao alive. My lord, I told you what you know, can you? Forehead... ”

Before the Yellow Turban Army could finish speaking, his throat was cut.

And the Yellow Turban Army who came back saw his partner with his back against the big tree, and seemed to be asleep.

So he hurriedly went up to wake him up, and patted him on the shoulder with his hand, and the man fell to the ground weakly.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army knew that there was an enemy attack, and when he was about to go back to report the situation, he was also killed.

Twenty men dressed in Yellow Turban uniforms suddenly burst out and surrounded the Assassin.

It's just that the assassin didn't panic, but said to one of the Yellow Turban soldiers, "Captain, this patrol has been dealt with, and the password is to capture Yuan Shao alive." ”

"The password is the same." The others said in unison.

They packed up all the patrols in the vicinity and asked for the password from their mouths.

The reason for this is that they are afraid that someone will deceive them with fake passwords, which will eventually lead to the failure of their plan.

So ask them all again, and the one with the most common passwords is true.

The captain nodded and said, "Okay, now that the password has arrived, we will infiltrate the Yellow Turban Army camp according to the lord's plan and take the opportunity to complete our mission." ”

Then all of them dispersed and returned to their places, and when the hour came, they went back to take over their shifts.

When the guards at the gate asked for the password, they said, "Capture Yuan Shao alive."

After that, they entered the camp of the Yellow Turban Army unimpeded, and then they pretended to go back to rest.

Finally, they came to the place where the grain and grass were stored, because it was already the second half of the night, most of the Yellow Turban soldiers had already slept, and the rest of the patrols were also sleepy-eyed, and the whole person seemed to have no energy.

So when the group of assassins determined that what was stored inside was grain and grass, they directly took out the fire oil prepared in advance from their arms and poured it on it, and finally burned it directly.

The fire lit up the entire camp, and the group of assassins came directly to a thief and shouted to catch the thief, shouting, "The grain and grass are on fire, come and put out the fire." ”

The sleeping Yellow Turban Army also rushed out and hurriedly fetched water to extinguish the fire.

At this moment, the guard at the gate suddenly heard a rush in the distance.

hurriedly said, "It's not good, someone has robbed the camp." ”

Immediately afterwards, a figure was the first to kill him, and he was Yan Liang.

The broadsword in his hand slashed down cleanly, ending his life.

Behind him was the large number of Yuan Jiajun, and Zhang He was also among them.

In the face of the sudden night attack, these Yellow Turban soldiers were panicked.

Because it was late at night, most of them did not wear a single armor or weapon.

Some of them may be wooden barrels used to hold water to extinguish fires, and there are patrol teams of more than 100 people.

And in the eyes of Yan Liang, who came prepared and aggressive, it was simply a mantis arm as a car.

At this time, Huang Ye also rushed out, and when he saw Yuan Jiajun rampaging in the camp, he killed people when he saw them.

Especially when I saw that Zhang He, who was supposed to rescue Youzhou, was also among them, I knew that I had been fooled.

So he didn't stop the team from resisting, because he knew it was all useless.

So while others were not paying attention, he hurriedly rode a fast horse and fled.

And because the situation was too chaotic, Yan Liang and the others didn't see when Huang Ye escaped.

And Xue Yun was on the hillside in the distance, and he was very happy when he saw the Yellow Turban Army that had been killed and collapsed.

Xue Yun originally meant to capture some prisoners, because he knew that these Yellow Turban Army were the elite of the elite.

If you can bring them under your command, it will be a good batch of combat effectiveness.

But his proposal was directly vetoed by Xu You and others.

Because if they can wipe out the 20,000 Yellow Turban Army, it will be a huge blow to Zhang Liang, and it will also be able to enhance Xue Yun's prestige.

This is much better than co-opting them, so Xue Yun can only agree to let Yan Liang and the others slaughter all these Yellow Turban Army, leaving no one behind.
