Chapter 37: Cheng Yuanzhi's Youzhou Battle Report
"Unity is strength, this strength is steel, this strength is iron ......"
At dusk, Zhao Hui led a team of 100 people to sit on the ground.
After a day of training, everyone's body was tired, but the singing was strong, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
The song is simple and easy to understand, as long as you listen to it once, you can shout along, and there is no difficulty at all.
Zhao Hui knew that these soldiers were filled with various training every day, and their nerves were tense, and some recreational activities were essential.
So, after a day of training, he began to enrich the entertainment life of the centurion.
Military songs have existed throughout the ages, but the military songs before this are a little difficult to understand for the big-headed soldiers who don't know a single big character.
Like Qin Feng Wuyi in the Book of Songs, although the meaning of the sentence is far-reaching, but the chorus of 100 people does not have the feeling that unity is strength, and the meaning is clear, no one needs to explain, as long as you listen to it once, you can understand.
And every sentence can be shouted out loud, and when you start singing, the voice bursts out from the body, shouting out all the depression accumulated throughout the day, and the whole person will become relaxed and happy.
"It's so good."
"Unity is strength ......"
At night, those who didn't want to sleep in the barracks were still singing.
"Sleep, I won't train tomorrow." The night patrol has no idea how many times this is the first reminder.
Under Zhang Wang's reprimand, the voice in the barracks finally quieted down.
In the next few days, unity is strength would resound in the Yellow Turban Army camp from time to time. Everyone would sing along a few times.
Invisibly, it actually raised the morale of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army by a large margin.
Singing every day, the 100,000 Han troops outside the city seem to be like that, as long as they are united, what is the 100,000 Han army.
"Great sage and good teacher, Youzhou battle report."
"But Cheng Yuanzhi has already taken Youzhou?" Zhang Jiaodao.
"Of the thirteen counties in Youzhou, only Zhuo County has not yet been defeated."
Cheng Yuanzhi also raised 100,000 Yellow Turban troops in Youzhou, conquered many cities, and had already killed Zhuo County.
"Good." Although it was later than he expected, as long as he could win Youzhou, he would have completed Zhang Jiao's goal.
At that time, grain and grass can be gathered from Youzhou to supplement the consumption of giant deer, and Cheng Yuanzhi can lead a large army to come to support.
In addition to the battle report to Zhang Jiao, Cheng Yuanzhi also asked someone to write a letter to Zhao Hui.
In the letter, Cheng Yuanzhi told Zhao Hui that he had seen the bearded man that Zhao Hui had told him before.
Because of Zhao Hui's reminder, Cheng Yuanzhi avoided Guan Yu at the first moment, and he did not die under Guan Yu's knife.
At that time, Cheng Yuanzhi led an army of 100,000 to besiege Zhuojun, and he saw a force of men and horses killed in the city, although the number was very small, only a few thousand.
But the three leaders were too conspicuous, and one of them was the long-haired man he had asked many times before, but had not heard.
Cheng Yuanzhi did not forget Zhao Hui's words, even if he was in Youzhou, he had heard a lot of things about Zhao Hui during this time.
Originally, there had been no news of Guan Yu, and Cheng Yuanzhi was no longer too concerned.
But on the battlefield that day, when he suddenly saw the person described by Zhao Hui, Cheng Yuanzhi immediately mentioned that he was extremely careful.
In that battle, Cheng Yuanzhi avoided Guan Yu as soon as possible.
Liu Bei's three brothers wanted to kill Cheng Yuanzhi who deliberately avoided in the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, but there was still no such possibility, unless Cheng Yuanzhi stood still in one place.
Although he only faced thousands of Han troops, that battle was the longest battle that Cheng Yuanzhi fought.
In previous battles, he led a large army to rush up, and it took at most half an hour to end the battle.
But in that battle, the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army faced the 5,000 Han Army, but it was a full battle for more than an hour.
Cheng Yuanzhi was in the army, looking at the three brothers of Liu Bei from afar, and in his own army, he was invincible in rushing left and right.
finally knew that there were really 10,000 enemies in this world, and he was far from being an opponent.
I am very glad that I didn't forget Zhao Hui's words.
If at that time, he faced Guan Yu with his own courage and had absolutely no possibility of survival, and he would definitely die under Guan Yu's knife.
Although he said that he didn't fight, he thought that he was inferior to the other party, which made Cheng Yuanzhi very frustrated, but he knew very well how many catties and taels he had, and he would not deny it.
Therefore, for Zhao Hui, Cheng Yuanzhi was very grateful in his heart, without Zhao Hui's original reminder, he was now dead.
The three Liu Bei brothers, who have just debuted, now are the time to get ahead, and all three of them pin their heads to the waistbands of their trousers.
If Cheng Yuanzhi was killed, Liu Bei's three brothers could really defeat the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army with 5,000 Han troops.
With the three of them at the head, they can kill each other in the chaotic Yellow Turban Army.
Even because Cheng Yuanzhi avoided it, they killed tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers in more than an hour.
In the end, because the physical exertion of the Han army following them was too great, they withdrew to the city.
Strong and not afraid of death, such an army is enough to make people retreat.
The grassroots Liu Bei was able to gain a foothold in this troubled era, not only because of the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, but also the benevolence and righteousness of external propaganda.
What's more, he has fought in countless battles, and his prestige is not to be underestimated.
Because those who underestimate him will be eliminated by him.
Because of Liu Bei's three brothers, the current war situation in Youzhou is not optimistic. It's just that Cheng Yuanzhi didn't say it explicitly in his battle report to Zhang Jiao.
On the contrary, it was mentioned in the letter to Zhao Hui that he hoped that Zhao Hui could help.
No matter who faced Liu Bei's three brothers, they didn't dare to say that they had full confidence.
Cheng Yuanzhi hoped to get Zhao Hui's help in the letter, but Zhao Hui was now in Julu, how could he help him.
Even if Zhao Hui is in Youzhou and leads the current Yellow Turban Army, there is no way to face the three brothers of Liu Bei.
Therefore, in his reply to Cheng Yuanzhi, Zhao Hui could only ask Cheng Yuanzhi not to rush to attack, not to have a hard fight with Liu Bei, and if it really didn't work, he would give up Youzhou and withdraw to Jizhou.
It's just that this letter hasn't come out of Julu yet, and it was seen by Zhang Jiao first.
For Zhao Hui to be so pessimistic about the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao is difficult to understand.
When I saw the letter written by Zhao Hui, I was annoyed as you can imagine.
His strategic plan was for Cheng Yuanzhi to take Youzhou and then go south to support him.
But now that Zhao Hui is in his heart, he actually persuaded Cheng Yuanzhi to give up Youzhou when necessary.
Isn't this what you're doing with him?
It's just three little-known people, as for the need for so much attention?
Zhang Jiao burned Zhao Hui's letter, and wrote another letter to Cheng Yuanzhi, asking Cheng Yuanzhi to attack Zhuojun with all his might, and he must attack Zhuojun within half a month.
Then he escorted the grain and grass and went south to Jizhou to meet him.
Zhao Hui now has more than 100 people in his hands, but he doesn't know his letter, and it changes hands to Zhang Jiao, and he doesn't send it out at all.
