The concept of "going south to ......" is the first time I have heard of it, and Liu Tao couldn't help but be stunned after reading this letter.

The letter said that according to a clear battle report, the Huangfu Song Department and the Zhu Jun Department were confronting the Yellow Turban Thief Bocai Department in Changshe, and the situation was actually not so optimistic, and from the beginning of the contact with Yingchuan County, the imperial army was almost defeated and retreated.

This is related to the long-term lack of training of the five schools of the Northern Army, and the excessive number of enemy troops is also a problem.

It will take at least two to three months for this confrontation to turn around. So if, the letter uses the word 'if'...... If Liu Tao defeated and killed Zhang Bao in Xiaquyang, then it could be considered to go south to support the Changshe.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Lu Yan saw Liu Tao's solemn expression, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Liu Tao shook his head, the Battle of Changshe was a well-known battle in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, commanding the five schools of the Northern Army, with a total of 40,000 people, confronted the Yellow Turban Thieves in Changshe. The confrontation seemed to have lasted for more than two months, almost around midsummer, before the thieves were confused by fire and took advantage of the chaos to launch a general attack.

The key is that Cao Cao, the cavalry captain who came to support, also surrounded at this time, and finally ended with tens of thousands of beheadings. There are also some theories that more than 100,000 thieves were captured, but because of the lack of food and grass, they could only be killed on the spot.

"When is it midsummer this year?" Liu Tao thought about it and looked up at Lu Yan.

"After all, it's already midsummer......" Lu Yan was a little puzzled, but still replied truthfully.

According to the calendar, December is: Mengchun, Zhongchun, Jichun, Mengxia, Midsummer, Jixia, Mengqiu, Mid-Autumn, Jiqiu, Mengdong, Midwinter, Jidong. Yesterday was the first day of the fifth month, in other words, since yesterday, it has entered the middle of summer.

"It's already midsummer...... Liu Tao was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head, "The weather in the Central Plains will get hotter and hotter, and it's not rational to go south...... Besides, I hope that before I capture Quyang and capture or kill Zhang Bao, I will not talk about going south! ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded one after another, going south is indeed not the most important thing at the moment, and there is no need to be so entangled.

So the matter of jungle warfare was discussed for a while, and the military discussion ended like this, and everyone went to make their own arrangements. Even if it is Zhang Feibu, although he does not participate in the battle, it is still necessary to cruise around the camp and beware of Zhang Bao going out of the city to fight.

Zhang Bao didn't dare to go out of the city to fight easily, largely because of Zhang Fei's cavalry troops.

"Brother, there seems to be something on the topic just now, but my brother didn't say it?" When there were only Liu Tao and Lu Yan in the barracks, the latter had to ask.

"It's still so sharp...... Liu Tao smiled, "It's nothing, not to mention our current goal, it's mainly Xiaquyang, it's not suitable for distraction to think about other battlefields." I also don't want you to be anxious about this letter. ”

"That's true." Lu Yan nodded, the most taboo thing in the army is impatience.

"Also, if my memory is correct, during this time of midsummer, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun will win. It's midsummer now, even if you go south now, you may not be able to catch up, so why waste your brain thinking about it. Liu Tao added.

"I see, no wonder my brother asks what time it is." Lu Yan was stunned.

Lu Zhi did enter Julu County in May, and then forced the Yellow Turban Thieves to Guangzong step by step. This 'prophecy' is being fulfilled step by step. This means that what Liu Tao said that he sees the future is very likely to be true.

Yes, there will be some doubts in my heart before I actually witness all this. Predicting the future or something, it's a bit unbelievable.

Now that he basically believes this, then Liu Tao said that the battle of Changshe will soon be decided, so it can basically be regarded as this. In this way, there is really no need to go south.

"Fight the battle of Quyang well, maybe in ten days and twenty days, the battle report over there will be sent back." Liu Tao said casually, "It's also possible that I'll come over in the next few days." ”

"Yes!" Lu Yan also corrected his mentality at this moment and began to devote himself to daily affairs.

The next day, the army was assembled, with 500 pikemen, 300 sword and shield soldiers, and 200 crossbow troops. Counting the fifty guards, the number is about 1,100.

"Liu Ge, the more than 900 spearmen left in the army will be handed over to you to command. If Zhang Bao fights, you have to be careful. Liu Tao came to Liu Ge.

"Deran rest assured." Liu Ge nodded, but he didn't call him a chief, at this moment he promised Liu Tao as a clan brother.

is different from those clan brothers who came out of the five suits, he is the concubine of Liu Tao's uncle Liu Zijing, the two brothers are from the same room, and the blood relationship is closer than the average clan brothers.

"Xingming, you also have to help." Liu Tao immediately looked at Shangguan Yu, who would stay in the army with three hundred archers this time. If Zhang Bao fights, he always needs some archers to contain and defend.

"Whoa!" Compared with Liu Ge, Shangguan Yu is just a cousin, and his blood relationship is relatively distant, so his answer is naturally more formal.

"It's not good for you to be like this...... Liu Tao smiled, then turned to look at the soldiers behind him, "Let's go!" ”

In this battle, only he and Guan Yu were two top generals, and the two hundred crossbow troops were handed over to the command of the two commanders.

"Third brother!" Before leaving, Zhang Fei shouted, "Protect big brother!" ”

"Hmm......" Guan Yu nodded, in fact, he was under a lot of pressure this time. In this army, what can unite everyone is Liu Tao, and the identity of the Han clan is very important.

The most important thing is that he is a disciple of the immortal family, knows the immortal method, and all the way over, he wins more with less, and the key is that his army has few casualties, and the fundamental reason is that he secretly uses the immortal method to support.

However, it is undeniable that although he knows the immortal law and can even foresee the future, he is still a mortal in the flesh, and if he is shot by an arrow or slashed by a knife in a place where he does not notice, he will still die!

Therefore, this expedition, in fact, while attacking the thieves, he also had to protect his brother's thoughtfulness.

"It's just that I don't understand ......" On the way, Guan Yu still came to Liu Tao's side in the end, "My brother has an eye in the sky, obviously he only needs to draw a topographic map, and there is no need to go to war with the army......"

"But how do you know where and where the thieves will be ambushing, if I don't personally direct them? Besides, I actually have another purpose for taking the risk this time. Liu Tao looked in the direction of Xiaquyang.

"Could it be ......" Guan Yu thought of a possibility.

"Yun Chang is very smart, if he reads well in the future, he may not be able to become a famous general." Liu Tao nodded.

"Then I'm going to have to study hard." Guan Yu smiled, but he really took it seriously in his heart.

Don't watch "Spring and Autumn" and get addicted...... When Liu Tao heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Coming to the woods, looking at the lush vegetation, lush, faintly only a path leading to the depths.

"It's said that every Lin Mo enters, this time we want to go in!" Liu Tao smiled, "Follow me into the forest!" ”
