At the head of the city, gusts of wind blew the flags loudly.

At the head of the city stood two old men with gray hair, looking at the endless Yellow Turban military camps outside the city, and were silent for a long time.

Two old men, one is Zhu Jun and the other is Huangfu Song.

Now they don't have the vigor they had when they led the army out before, and some of them are just frowning and have more gray hair.

The good news from Youzhou has been delivered to the two of them.

"Hmph, I actually let a junior steal the first credit."

Zhu Jun was a little unconvinced, if it weren't for the rescue of Runan Taishou Zhao Qian, he would not have been defeated by Bo Caiyi.

Huangfu Song was even more resentful in his heart, and he couldn't accept that he was compared to a junior.

When he looked at Zhu Jun, there was a lot of dissatisfaction in his eyes, if it wasn't for saving you, I wouldn't be trapped in the Changshe.

Huangfu Song ignored Zhu Jun's dissatisfaction with a fledgling junior, but looked at the camp opposite and said:

"Yesterday, the envoy sent by Cao Mengde said that he had gone to the Changshe Ten Miles Away to lay an ambush, and he could attack the Yellow Turban with us at any time.

Hehehe, today's young people are really not simple, all of them are so powerful, it seems that we are really old. ”

Zhu Jun heard that his old friend was still talking cool words, and his face became more and more dissatisfied.

"If you don't know righteousness, there is a way to break the enemy."

Huangfu Song closed his eyes, felt the coolness brought by the wind, and said with a smile: "I just have a plan at the moment, maybe I can break the enemy." ”

That night, Huangfu Song sent people with torches to sneak out of the city and set fire to the grass outside the Yellow Turban military camp.

The wind fueled the fire, which at once ignited the outer perimeter of the camp and began to burn inward.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led the army to attack, the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos, running around, and Cao Cao, who was ten miles away, also led the army to come, and the two of them attacked back and forth, broke the Yellow Turban, burned and killed tens of thousands of people, and Bo Cai led the remnants of the army to escape.

After the war, Huangfu Song asked Cao Cao: "Why did Meng De rush to the battlefield so quickly?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Because I guessed that you would attack tonight, so I waited outside the battlefield in advance." ”

"How did you know I was going to attack tonight?" Huangfu Song asked again.

Cao Cao looked at Huangfu Song confidently and said, "Because of the news from the scouts, the Yellow Turban Army has set up camp with grass, and today is a rare windy weather, so I think the adults should break the enemy with fire attack tonight."

"But what if you're wrong?"

"Hahaha," Cao Cao laughed, "Your Excellency, you are a famous general in the world, so I can't guess wrong." ”

Huangfu Song also laughed: "Meng De, you are also a person who knows soldiers." ”

After that, the three of them joined forces and continued to pursue Bocai and conquer the Yellow Turban Army in the area of Yuzhou.

……

Guangyang County is located in the southwest of Jixian County, on the border between Guangyang County and Zhuo County, and is on the road connecting the two counties.

Ten miles east of the county seat, Zhang Hao had just led his army here, and the yellow turban in the city had already received the news and was ready to defend the city.

Zhang Hao got the news that there were 3,000 defenders in the city, and when he came to the city, the tower in front of him was full of Yellow Turban soldiers.

In the previous battle, it could only be regarded as his luck that he ran into a fool who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

Now the Yellow Turban defenders who are prepared on the opposite side, although the number of people in Jixian County is smaller than before, but the advantage of defending the city is too great, if it is attacked, they will suffer great losses, and they may not be able to capture the city.

Zhang Hao thought about it and decided to take a gamble.

He ordered his army not to attack the city for the time being, but to camp three miles outside the city.

The Yellow Turban guard of Guangyang County was named Gao You, and after Deng Mao's death, he was promoted to Cheng Yuanzhi's deputy general.

He has a strong physique, is good at wielding a thirty-pound broadsword, and is also a rare brave general in the Guangyang Yellow Turban Army.

After Cheng Yuanzhi took the entire Guangyang County, he led the army to assist the Yellow Turban Army of Zhuo County, leaving Guangyang County, the only place on his retreat, to Gao You.

And Gao You did not live up to Cheng Yuanzhi's expectations, devoted himself to his duties, and did not slack off.

He would send people to patrol around Quang Yang County every day, and he could respond immediately when there was a situation.

So as soon as Zhang Hao came, Gao You immediately got the news.

It's just that his side is ready to defend the city, but the officers and soldiers outside the city did not attack the city, but retreated to three miles away and set up camp.

Looking at the direction in which the officers and soldiers were encamped, curling smoke began to rise, and Gao You thought that they were burying the pot and cooking.

Not long after, the scout came back and reported: "Lord Adjutant General, those officers and soldiers are cooking at the moment, without any defense, I came closer, and even saw that they were still drinking. ”

After listening to this, Bai Shui, the yellow turban handsome who was responsible for assisting Gao You, immediately said to Gao You: "Deputy General, the officers and soldiers are so slack, don't you take us and others in your eyes, you give me a thousand brothers, and I will go and kill them without leaving a piece of armor." ”

Gao You thought for a while, and rejected his proposal with a smile: "Brother Bai Xian, don't be impatient, don't be provoked by the officers and soldiers, we will not move." ”

He explained to Bai Shui: "In my opinion, this is a strategy of the officers and soldiers, and it was deliberately done for us to see, so that we think that there is an opportunity to attack the camp."

If my prediction is correct, the officers and men must have laid an ambush in the camp so that they may take the opportunity to annihilate the brothers who have attacked the camp and then take the city. ”

Bai Shui was taken aback when he heard the explanation, and hurriedly asked Gao You for his guilt: "If it weren't for the deputy general's reminder, I almost made a big mistake, please ask the deputy general to punish me." ”

Gao You smiled and helped him up: "Everyone is a brother, what punishment is not punished, Brother Bai Xian is also kind, you and my brothers work together, and they will definitely be able to teach the officers and soldiers to succeed." ”

"No, I will definitely help my brother." Bai Shui looked at Gao You with some emotion.

"Let's go, the brothers are also hungry, don't care about the officers and soldiers outside the city, let's eat too."

In the big tent of the Chinese army, a scout came back and reported the situation on the city to Zhang Hao.

"General, the yellow turbans in the city did not attack, but the guards at the head of the city began to eat, just like us."

Zhang Hao nodded: "Well, I know, continue to monitor the situation in the city." ”

"No."

The scout left, and Qin Wen on the side was a little anxious: "General, the thief leader in the city has seen through your plan, how can this be good." ”

In fact, there were only a few jars of wine, which were opened and set aside to make the wine fragrant, and the soldiers drank all the water.

Qin Wen thought that Zhang Hao was trying to deceive the other party so that he could attract troops to attack, but he was not fooled.

Zhang Hao felt that it didn't matter: "If you see through it, you can see through it, it doesn't matter, let's continue to show weakness." ”

"This?" Qin Wen didn't understand what Zhang Hao meant.

So, for three days in a row, the situation reported by the Yellow Turban Scout to Gao You was similar.

The officers and men were either frolicking in the camp or gathering to drink, and anyway, they would come as they slacked off.

It's just that the scout reported a special situation that caught his attention.

"Although the pots and stoves in the officer and soldier camp have not decreased, the subordinates feel that there seem to be a lot less officers and soldiers in the battalion, and it is not as lively as a few days ago."

Gao Youjian frowned, this information is very strange, there are fewer officers and soldiers in the barracks, where will those who are missing go?

"Revisit."

At this time, Bai Shui said to him excitedly: "Adjutant General, since there are fewer officers and soldiers, it is better for us to take this opportunity to seize their large camp and burn their grain and grass." ”

Gao You still shook his head: "No, our most important task is to defend the city, and it is the safest thing to do if we can't hold on, and we don't want to do other superfluous things." ”

Bai Shui looked at Gao You's determined expression, didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.

The next day, the scout hurriedly ran to report to Gao You: "My lord, this morning, all the officers and soldiers in the barracks outside the city are gone, leaving only an empty camp with nothing. ”

"What did you say?" Gao was shocked, "Do you know where they went?" Is it retreating? ”

The scout said: "I checked the traces on the ground, and saw the car marks that flowed when the officers and soldiers carried their baggage away, and I walked all the way along the car marks and found that they were going in the direction of Zhuojun. ”

After listening to the scout's words, Bai Shui immediately stood up: "Adjutant General, it seems that the officers and soldiers completely ignore us and drive directly to Zhuo County, let's hurry up and chase after us."

If you catch up with it at this moment, you may be able to fight back and forth with the brothers in Zhuojun and annihilate this official army. ”

Gao You was still a little hesitant, he didn't want to engage the official army head-on, and defending the city was the safest way.

"I think it's better to stick to it, maybe this is another trick of the officers and soldiers."

When Bai Shui heard this, he was furious: "Gao You! You cowardly coward, you only know how to hide in the city and dare not fight.

This was the case when the officers and soldiers came, and now that they are gone, you are afraid of the officers and soldiers, but I am not afraid! I'll take someone to chase it now. ”

Gao You saw that his subordinates were talking to him like this, or in front of the scouts, he was also angry: "You dare, I am the highest general in the city, and no one can take away a single soldier without my order."

And it's lawless that you actually talk to me like that. Come on, grab the white water for me! ”

Two soldiers grabbed Bai Shui, but he broke free: "I'll see who dares to arrest me." ”

Bai Shui glared at Gao You angrily: "Now the officers and soldiers have marched towards Zhuo County, it is very likely that they are going towards Qu Shuai, if we don't send troops, in case Qu Shuai is attacked by the officers and soldiers in front and back, resulting in a crushing defeat, then what is the use of us defending this city."

If you don't take advantage of the pursuit now, will you wait for more officers and soldiers to attack the city before fighting? ”

After saying that, he left directly, and no one present stopped him.

After a while, a soldier came to report: "Vice Admiral Gao, Xiao Shuai has just left the city with 2,000 brothers in the city. ”

Gao You's face was gloomy, and he said listlessly: "Forget it, let him go, I hope I'm too worried." ”

Bai Shui rushed out of the city gate and drove non-stop in the direction of Zhuojun.

"Gao is a timid guy, and I don't know what Qu Shuai likes about him. If it is a meritorious service this time, I must sue Qu Shuai for his situation.

If you want me to say, it is most appropriate for me to be the deputy general. ”
