Chapter 17: Ambush
Just as Liu Xie hurried to Julu, there were several people sitting and talking in the Yingchuan County Mansion.
Huangfu Song sat on the main seat, looked at Xun You and Sun Jian on the side and said: "Read all the flying pigeon biography of His Royal Highness the Prince." His Royal Highness wants to transfer General Sun Jian to Xuzhou and Qingzhou to lead troops to quell the rebellion, and we will have a man named Lu Bu here to replace General Sun Jian. Sun Jian was very surprised when he heard this. From the time I saw the content of the note just now, the corners of Sun Jian's mouth have been rising. I haven't put it down.
Originally, Sun Jian thought that he had just suffered a defeat and had to make a difference, but he didn't expect to immediately promote himself to the main general. This news was simply the biggest surprise for him. Sun Jian swore in his heart that he must pacify the two continents as quickly as possible, and he has repaid Liu's kindness. Even Huang Fu Song was very surprised when he heard the news, and Huang Fu Song, who had been worried since he lost the battle, was relieved when he heard the news. In his opinion. Liu Xie's appointment of Sun Jian as a general is the greatest affirmation of him. After all, the direct person in charge of a battle has already been promoted, so what will happen to him, the main general?
After putting his mind at ease, Huangfu Song pondered the situation in front of him, and this meeting was born.
After listening to Huangfu Song's words, Xun You first stood up to congratulate Sun Jian, and several other people also congratulated Sun Jian when they saw this. Sun Jian saw it and hurriedly got up to return the salute. And looked at Huangfu Song and said: General, I will go to Yangzhou this time, and I am going to take only Han Dang, Zu Mao, and the two of them, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, to stay under the command of the general. Huang Fu Song was very satisfied when he heard this, after all, he has been using these people very easily, if they are all transferred, he will not be able to find a replacement for a while, and now he can leave two, Huang Fu Song is already very satisfied. After all, Huang Gai and the four of them are already Sun Jian's generals, and they are retained in the army.
But hearing that Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, who were going to leave themselves, stood up and looked at Sun Jian after listening to Sun Jian's words and shouted: General, we will also go to Yangzhou with you. Sun Jian looked at Huang Gai and Cheng Pu and said: Don't worry, I have Han Dang by my side, Zu Mao and the two of them are enough, you will listen to the general's orders under the general, as for me, I am going to gather some green forest heroes after I go to Yangzhou. Discover, in the green forest, you know, but there are a few good hands.
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai glanced at each other, and thought of the few good players who had been mixed in the green forest all year round, so they were relieved. Sit back in your seat.
Huangfu Song saw that the matter was resolved, and continued: It has been two days since our army was stationed in Yingchuan, and the Yellow Turban Army must have known the news, what should we do now to solve this group of enemies, we need to deal with him as soon as possible, you have also read the news of His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Jiao sent another 10,000 troops here, and the leader of the troops was Zhang Jiao's younger brother Zhang Liang. Sir, do you have any idea?
After speaking, Huangfu Song first looked at Xun You. Xun You saw that Huangfu Song asked him directly, and he was not polite, so he stood up and said: Our army has been stationed in Yingchuan for two days, and in these two days, we finally know who our opponent is. Let me give you a brief introduction.
The commander of the Yellow Turban Army opposite us will be Chen Qun. This person may not know him. But we are friends who grew up together, and later His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recruited to accompany the study, and the hussar general Dong Chong personally looked at Yingchuan, and later it was me, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia went to Beijing, and the hussar general Dong Chong personally went to Chen's Mansion to recruit Chen Qun, but Chen Qun did not agree, but Chen's Mansion was tragically destroyed on the night we left Yingchuan, and now it seems that Chen Qun at that time did not know what the reason escaped the catastrophe. Later, he joined the Yellow Turban Army, and was later sent to Yingchuan by Zhang Jiao to preside over the affairs of the Yellow Turban Army. After Xun You finished speaking, he stopped and gave everyone a time to think.
Everyone in the hall glanced at each other, and they all heard the meaning that Xun You didn't say, as soon as they left Yingchuan, the Chen Mansion was tragically destroyed, and now Chen Qun is bent on making enemies with the Han army, who did this is already clear at a glance. Everyone has no way to evaluate who is right and who is wrong, but it is not right to do things cleanly, leaving such a big enemy for the current Huangfu Song.
Xun You saw that everyone had already reflected, so he continued: Now the Yellow Turban Army is stationed fifty miles east of Yingchuan City, and the cavalry reconnaissance has found that the enemy is very loose in the past few days, of course, for this situation, the scouts can't judge whether it's true or false, but whether it's true or not, I think this is an opportunity for us. After Xun You finished speaking, he looked at Huang Fu Song, Huang Fu Song looked at Xun You and nodded, understanding what Xun You meant.
Xun You saw Huangfu Song nodding, and knew that he had understood, and then stopped talking and retreated to his seat and sat down.
As soon as Huangfu Song saw Xun You sitting down, he understood that Xun You didn't want to be in the limelight, and couldn't help but give Xun You a thumbs up in his heart. Directly stood up, gave an order, and said:
Cheng Pu was ordered to take 2,000 sergeants and attack the Yellow Turban Army camp at 11 o'clock at night. If you find that there is a trap in the Yellow Turban Army camp, don't fall in love with the battle, just evacuate. Return to the city.
Ordered Han Dang to take a thousand soldiers and launch an attack on the Yellow Turban Army camp an hour after Cheng Pu's army retreated, but be careful to bring more things that ignite fire, as long as the Yellow Turban Army tents were burned. Don't fall in love with the war, evacuate directly after it has an effect. Return to the city.
Ordered Zu Mao to bring a thousand soldiers, and in the hour after Han Dang's retreat, he brought more standing drums to harass the Yellow Turban Army outside the Yellow Turban Army camp. As long as the Yellow Turbans lined up, they evacuated with their soldiers and returned to the city.
The rest of the people, at five o'clock in the morning, attacked the Yellow Turban Army in three directions. Sun Jian is in charge of the left side, and Xu Yang is in charge of the right side. I led the Chinese army to attack head-on. Hopefully we can win it.
"Yes", everyone in the hall stood up and agreed loudly when they heard Huangfu Song's order. Then Huangfu Song looked at Xun You and asked, "Sir, is there anything else you need to add?"
Xun You thought carefully about Huangfu Song's arrangement and said: General, I suggest that we prepare a cavalry, and after our great victory, pursue the enemy, and this cavalry may give us a big surprise at that time. Huangfu Song thought about it and agreed, in the current army, there is no shortage of horses, what is lacking is people on horseback. But thinking about Xun You's suggestion, Huangfu Song felt that five hundred people could still be drawn out of a tight situation. I just agreed.
Then Huangfu Song continued to order: let Xu Yang select a 500 master from his generals and colonels to lead the army that Xun You particularly emphasized. After the big battle, he was responsible for the pursuit of enemy troops.
Then he ordered that all the soldiers in the city should sleep during the day, so that they could fight at night. After all the generals said yes, they all went down to prepare.
