Chapter 11: Battle of Wisdom

Early the next morning after Huang Gai finished looking for Huangfu Song, Huang Gai rode a horse and prepared to set off, this is Xun Yu stopped Huang Gai and said: Gongfu, you are going to shoulder the heavy burden, the life and death of our army is in your hands, after you arrive in Yingchuan City, you might as well be tough on the county order Zhou Zhidao, and if the county order does not respect the king's order, you can go to the Xun family and the Zhong family for help, Zhong Xuan and I are from these two families. Huang Gai heard that he was more confident about this trip. patted his chest and shouted: Please rest assured, sir, I will complete the task, otherwise I will let someone die a bad death. Xun You nodded and let Huang Gai set off.

Huang Gai rode out of the barracks, looked back at the gate of the barracks, the people who saw him off were still looking at him from afar, clenched his fists vigorously, encouraged himself, and ran directly on horseback, gradually leaving the sight of everyone.

At the gate of the camp, Huangfu Song and Xun You stood at the gate of the camp with their generals at all levels, looking at the back of Huang Gai leaving, and they didn't speak. After coming over for a long time, Huangfu Song turned around and looked at everyone and said: Pack up and prepare to enter the city, we must believe that Huang Gai will definitely succeed, and we will celebrate his success in Yingchuan City. After Huangfu Song's order was conveyed, no matter what the generals thought, at least there was jubilation in the barracks, and for the low-level soldiers, since the general gave such an order, he would definitely enter the city, at most it was a matter of time. So everyone packed their bags and prepared to enter the city. Xun You looked at the morale that was boosted by Huang Fu Song's words, and deeply understood Huang Fu Song's worries. Only by maintaining hope can the army fight again.

But if Huang Gai fails, then this army is over. Huangfu Song has no prestige in the hearts of the soldiers, and it can be expected that when the time comes, the situation on the side of Yingchuan will be out of control. The Imperial Court will lose control of this place completely. Looking at the direction in which Huang Gai left, Xun You secretly prayed in his heart and left.

Huang Gai rushed all the way to Yingchuan City, looking at the Chinese character flag flying high at the head of the city, Huang Gai's heart was originally hanging, and he put it down a little, and the head of the city was still a Han flag, which shows that no matter what the people in charge of the city think, at least the face has not been torn. Huang Gai took out the arrow of the order covered by Huangfu Song, and shouted towards the city: I am the captain under the command of General Huangfu Song of the imperial court counterinsurgency army, and the urgent official document of General Huangfu Song has been delivered, so that your county order can come out to talk.

On the city wall, Chen Tai, the captain on duty, saw that the arrow in Huang Gai's hand was not fake, but just in case, he still asked people to put down the spider plant, and poked his head out and said to Huang Gai: Lord Captain, please put the arrow up first, I will let my adults take a look, and finally I need my adults to decide. Huang Gai also knew that it was impossible for a county commander to be the master, so he simply put the arrow in his hand into the spider plant.

Chen Tai took the arrow and instructed the surrounding soldiers to take care of the people below, and hurried to the county government. found the county commander Zhou Zhidao, told Zhou Zhidao the news of Huang Gai's arrival, and then handed over the arrow in his hand to Zhou Zhidao, and stood aside to listen to Zhou Zhidao's order. Chen Tai left the county hall full of doubts.

Zhou Zhidao watched Chen Tai leave, hurriedly returned to the back house, and found the original letter from Chen Qun to him, only to see that the letter said: If Huangfu Song sent someone to come, ignore it, just tell the person who came that there was a rebellion by the Yellow Turban Army near the city, and the army in the city should not be moved lightly, and asked Huangfu Song to send someone to come quickly.

It turned out that Chen Qun had the same idea as Xun You, and he was also preparing to intercept and kill the army sent by Huangfu Song.

Zhou Zhidao saw the confession in Chen Qun's letter, and thought about the letter of allegiance he had signed with Chen Qun, so he had no choice but to act according to Chen Qun's strategy. Zhou Zhidao returned to the front yard and found a servant and asked him to go to the city gate to give an order and bring in the people sent by Huangfu Song. After speaking, he sat in the front yard and waited for Huang Gai to bring it.

On the other side, after listening to Zhou Zhidao's instructions to divide the officials, he walked quickly to the city gate and reported to Chen Taiyu that the county ordered Zhou Zhidao to see Huang Gai. Chen Tai was not surprised by this news at all, and directly asked people to put down the spider plant and let Huang Gai enter the city from the spider plant. Huang Gai under the city waited for a long time, but he didn't expect the city to enter, but he entered the city in this way, and he couldn't help but feel humiliated, but thinking of the expectations of everyone behind him, Huang Gai had no choice but to obey Chen Tai's request and enter the city from the spider plant.

Huang Gai paid attention to observe along the way, and found that in Yingchuan City, there was no war at all, and people were still living according to their original lives, if it weren't for the soldiers on the city wall, he really suspected that he had gone to the wrong place.

Huang Gai came to the county government and saw a middle-aged scribe sitting in the hall, passing the clothes of the county order, Huang Gai guessed that this was Zhou Zhidao, the commander of Yingchuan County, Huang Gai first stepped forward to salute, and said: Huang Gai, the captain of the imperial court counterinsurgency army, Huang Gai, under the command of General Huangfu Song, has seen adults, and I came to recruit Yingchuan soldiers to serve in the army and pursue the rebels on the order of General Huangfu Song. Pursuit? Huang Gai's words confused Zhou Zhidao, how could it be that Chen Qun was defeated, thinking of this consequence, Zhou Zhidao couldn't continue to hold it up, so he quickly got up from the chair, and after setting up Huang Gai, he politely asked Huang Gai to do it.

Zhou Zhidao looked at Huang Gai and asked curiously: General, can you tell me more about the war? Huang Gai guessed at a glance that Zhou Zhidao didn't know the news of yesterday's defeat of the army, although Huang Gai had this question in his heart, but he immediately told Zhou Zhidao about the battle on the front line, but in Huang Gai's mouth it was said that the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, and the Han Army was victorious, and now Huangfu Song has taken the army to pursue the Yellow Turban defeated army, and Yingchuan City sent Huang Gai to recruit soldiers to serve in the military camp.

After Huang Gai's words were finished, Zhou Zhidao closed his eyes in pain, originally he thought that the Yellow Turban Army was powerful, and in order to save his life, he signed a letter of allegiance to Chen Qun, but he didn't expect what the ending was. If he knew that Huang Gai said the opposite, and he didn't know how he would feel, if he knew that Chen Qun had sent a messenger to Yingchuan City after yesterday's victory, but because a group of peasant troops had no sense of military intelligence, they planned to drink first, and the next day they were sending him a letter, I don't know if Zhou Zhidao would cut down the messenger in anger.

But now Zhou Zhidao needs to make a choice immediately, Zhou Zhidao thought about where to do it for a long time, and finally he decided to obey Huang Fu Song's order and accept Huang Fu Song's call. Thinking of this, Zhou Zhidao opened his eyes and looked at Huang Gai and said: General Huang, I, Zhou Zhidao, as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, must obey the orders of the imperial court.

Zhou Zhidao's words made Huang Gai's heart bloom, but he still maintained an expressionless face on his face. looked at Zhou Zhidao and said: Then let's set off with troops, otherwise the daylily will be cold for a while, and it will be good to chase General Fu Song for a while.

Zhou Zhidaowei hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly went out to explain the conscription. Huang Gai watched Zhou Zhidao go out, and only then could he really put his mind at ease. The mission of this trip is also considered to be completed.
