Zhao Yi watched the dozen or so soldiers hurriedly run out, and muttered, "Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven." ”

These words made the bronze lord in Liu Bei's hand almost fall to the ground, resigned to fate? This guy just said wildly, eating a thousand elite horses of Han Zhongbu. Why do you speak such gloomy words now? Could it be that he pretended to be relaxed in order to stabilize the morale of the army?

Zhao Yi's eyes turned and groped his chin: "Brother Xuande, Han Zhongjing rode a shock, and the soldiers under you and me will definitely be wiped out, it is better for you to lead Anxi soldiers and horses to my Fan Yang, you and I will merge together, and attack back and forth." How about annihilating this yellow turban together? ”

Liu Bei pondered for a while: "Brother Bolai doesn't know, I'm just a county lieutenant, and I don't have the right to mobilize all the people in Anxi County." And Han Zhong's department has 1,000 people, even if you and I merge together, there will only be more than 400 people. Under the impact of the elite cavalry, not to mention the four hundred people, even if there are two hundred more, it is not the opponent of thousands of elite cavalry. ”

Merge in one place, front and back. Zhao Yi was naturally guarding Fanyang County at the city gate to resist Han Zhong's frontal attack, and Liu Bei was responsible for the flanking attack behind. Fan Yang has a city gate defense, and no matter how many people and horses Han Zhong has, he can't conquer it for a moment and a half, and at this time, he is attacked from behind. The horse's head will be turned. At that time, the soldiers of Anxi County will be dangerous, and even if the infantry runs fast, they will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the cavalry. It only takes five hundred cavalry to rush back and forth once, and the soldiers have absolutely no way out. Liu Bei can naturally think of this.

Zhao Yi paced in the room: "If you can't hold on, it's not a way." There are only so many soldiers in us, and there is one less for one who dies. Moreover, all counties are attacked by yellow turban thieves, and it is difficult to protect themselves, and it may be difficult to send troops to help. What can Brother Xuande do? ”

Liu Bei knew very well that if Fanyang County was destroyed, Han Zhong's soldiers would definitely point directly at his Anxi County. At that time, even if he had two fierce generals under him, Yu and Zhang Fei, he would not be able to compete with the thousands of elite horses on the other side. Zhao Yi said earlier that he was luring Anxi's soldiers and horses to Fanyang, which was nothing more than wanting to use the soldiers and horses of Anxi County to consume some of Han Zhong's cavalry. The rest of the soldiers and horses were destroyed by Han Zhong, and there was always damage to a greater or lesser extent. At that time, Zhao Yi took advantage of the situation, and Han Zhong's troops suffered too many casualties, so he went out of the city to meet the battle, if the casualties were not large, he stubbornly waited for help. Attacking and defending, it's really a good strategy.

How could Liu Bei not see Zhao Yi's thoughts, he had already made up his mind in his heart, even if Zhao Yi was clever, he would definitely not lead An Xi soldiers to this Fanyang County.

"Brother Bolai, please rest assured, I have a good relationship with the young man Gongsun Zan of Zhuoxian County, if I go to borrow troops, he will not refuse." Liu Bei said.

Cheng Yin's eyes lit up when he heard the three words of Gongsun Zhan: "If Duke Xuande can invite Gongsun County Order, I, Fan Yang and An Xi, will be saved." Seeing Zhao Yi's puzzled gaze, Cheng Yin told Zhao Yi about Gongsun Zhan: "Lord Gongsun, when he was the governor of Liaodong, once Gongsun Zhan led dozens of cavalry out to patrol the pass, and saw hundreds of Xianbei cavalry, entering and leaving the pass. Holding a spear in hand, he led the team to rush into the Xianbei team, killing and wounding dozens of people. Xianbei people take this as a warning, and they no longer dare to easily cross the barrier. The name of bravery spread all over Youzhou. ”

Gongsun Chan and Zhao Yi naturally heard of it. Liu Bei said to ask Gongsun Zhan to help, but Zhao Yi still didn't have a smile on his face: "It's naturally good that Gongsun County can come to help, but it will take five days for Zhuo County to Fanyang to say less, and Han Zhong's troops are all fine horses, I'm afraid it will be here in two days." With more than 200 soldiers in my city, how can we block the opponent's fierce attack for three days? I'm afraid that when the Gongsun County order arrives here, Fan Yang has already been ruined. When he said this, Zhao Yi raised his eyes and looked at Liu Bei.

The meaning in Zhao Yi's eyes, Liu Bei didn't know, and he still wanted Liu Bei to bring Anxi soldiers and horses to Fanyang County. Liu Bei got up with his hand: "Brother Bolai, don't worry, I'll leave now." Within three days, reinforcements will be invited. After saying this, he didn't wait for Zhao Yi to greet him, and left here quickly.

Zhao Yi looked at Liu Bei's figure that turned over and gradually disappeared on his horse: "It's really fast, I just wanted to say that I borrowed Guan Yu to use it." He grabbed the bronze jue and took a sip of water, his face was full of smiles, and he returned to his previous light cloud.

Zhao Yi was calm, Cheng Yin was a little flustered, although Liu Bei said that reinforcements would be invited on the third day, but Fanyang County did not know whether it could withstand the impact of the other party's elite cavalry for a day. He said to the county lieutenant Li Si: "Intensify the preparation of rolling wood and thunder stones, which has been used to defend the city." ”

Li Si answered and hurriedly went down to prepare. Liao Hua looked at Zhao Yi: "My lord, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to ask or not." ”

Zhao Yi put the bronze jue in his hand on the table: "Say." ”

"Do you really have a way to deal with Han Zhong's subordinates?" Liao Hua is somewhat bottomless.

Zhao Yi looked at Cheng Yin and Liao Hua with a smile: "The two of you think this battle, how will we win or lose?" ”

Liao Hua is general is not good and directly said that he would be defeated, and said: "Han Zhong's department is strong, we fight hard, maybe we can hold on for a day or two more." ”

Cheng Yin sighed: "The disparity between the strength of the enemy and me is too great, and I don't think there is a chance of winning." ”

Seeing the panicked and anxious looks of the two, Zhao Yi stood up and walked two steps, turned his head and said, "I will win this battle, and Han Zhong will lose!" ”

Looking at Zhao Yi's confident appearance, Cheng Yin was a little strange: "Since adults have a good strategy to control the enemy, why don't you explain it to Xuande Gong?" "Since Zhao Yi is a method, he should have said his strategy just now and united with Liu Bei to resist Han Zhong. Instead of just letting the soldiers and horses come over, without the certainty of absolute victory over Han Zhong, Liu Bei would not let go. Cheng Yin really didn't know what Zhao Yi was thinking.

Zhao Yi smiled slightly: "The reward of 1,000 heads is a lot, I don't want Liu Xuande to get a piece of the pie." ”

"What?!" Not only Cheng Yin, but even Liao Hua was shocked: "The adult wants to swallow the other party's thousands of elite horses alone!?" ”

Zhao Yi was a little dissatisfied with the surprise of the two: "We have taken advantage of the right time and place, not to mention that Han Zhong only has a thousand people, even if there are another thousand, I can eat it." ”

"Two thousand people can eat?" Liao Hua swallowed.

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "What? You don't believe it. The Yellow Turbans were nothing more than a rabble, rebellious people, untrained. In terms of combat effectiveness, the local troops are inferior, and the so-called elite is nothing more than some soldiers who have survived several battles, and their combat effectiveness is slightly stronger than that of the local armed forces. ”

Liao Hua, who had stayed in the Yellow Turban Army, nodded: "My lord's analysis is very correct, the Yellow Turban Army relies on numbers to win every battle. However, this time the opponent is five times as large as ours. ”

"No matter how many people Han Zhong has, can he surpass the people of Fanyang County? As long as we spread the word that the Yellow Turbans will slaughter the city after breaking it. What do you think will happen? Zhao Yi smiled slyly.

Cheng Yin's face tightened: "My lord, are you trying to let the people participate in the war to delay time and wait for reinforcements?" Wouldn't that send them to their deaths? ”

"Lord Ben loves the people like a son, how could he do such a hurtful thing."

"What is this, my lord?"

"When the time comes, you will naturally know that not only will I not let them participate in the war, but I will also hold a banquet and feast these bloody people who dare to stay and live and die with my Fan Yang."

Cheng Yin didn't understand what Zhao Yi was planning to do about the battle in front of him that made everyone's hearts rise to their throats. But the lessons of the previous battle with the Yellow Turban Thieves are still lingering in his heart, and Cheng Yin knows very well that even he doesn't know what he uses as evidence to believe Zhao Yi. But Zhao Yi brought him too many shocks, and they were all impossible to verify. This time, he didn't talk nonsense, put down his erudite and well-informed shelf, and humbly accepted the next shock that Zhao Yi in front of him was about to bring him.

Within half an hour, the news spread throughout Fanyang County, the faces of the people were full of panic, and the streets were full of people running.

A few people were talking in the streets: "The Yellow Turban Thieves have come in and slaughtered the city, how are we good?" ”

"Run."

"It's easy for the landlords and nobles to escape, and they can leave with some soft tapes, but we can't take our fields with us, how can we live elsewhere?"

While these people were discussing here, several people shouted that the county order was speaking in front of the yamen, and they went over to hear how the county order would deal with it.

There were more and more people in front of Zhao Yi, and mixed words came out of the mouths of the people, asking one thing, what should I do about the yellow turban thief?

Zhao Yi suppressed the restless crowd with his empty hand: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me." The Yellow Turban Army is strong, our side is not as good, and the people will be miserable, I have ordered someone to open the east gate, and everyone can evacuate to the east. I took the soldiers in the county to guard Fan Yang to the death, and served the court with blood. ”

The people below are chattering, nothing more than caring about how they live. There are a lot of fleeing people in Fanyang County these days, and most of them are starving to death on the road, and they don't want to follow in the footsteps of those people.

"We're not leaving! Here is our home, and we have to follow the adults to fight against the Yellow Turban Thieves. A strong young man shouted.

As soon as this man spoke, several people in the crowd suddenly shouted: "We are fighting with the Yellow Turban Thief!" "Led by these people arranged by Cheng Yin, these people shouted that they wanted to fight the Yellow Turban Thief.

"But the Yellow Turban Army is an army, how can we, the common people, compete with it." A weak scholar sighed, and just wanted to shake his head and leave, he was hit on the head. When he raised his eyes, he was immediately startled and hurriedly walked away.

Zhang Ru snorted and said loudly: "What's so great about the Yellow Turban Thief, he doesn't have an extra head than us. The reason why I can go straight is because there are too many cowardly people. Why don't you dare fight the Yellow Turban Thieves! ”

This sentence touched the blood of these people, and they couldn't wait to go out and kill the two Yellow Turban Army now. shouted one after another to live and die with Fanyang County.

Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Ru and smiled, and secretly said that the girl was really a man: "Okay, they are all men with courage." Despite the disparity in strength between us and us, we dare to fight for our lives. The Yellow Turban Thief doesn't want to capture me Fan Yang! ”

Zhao Yi ordered Liao Hua to select 100 hardcover before dusk, saying that it was good for them. Although Liao Hua didn't understand what Zhao Yi's plan was, he was not ambiguous in carrying out the military order. After receiving the order, he took ten soldiers and immediately complied.

Looking at Zhang Ru, who came over happily, Zhao Yi asked: "At this time, the big war is imminent, what are you doing here?" Where's your brother? ”

When questioning, a panting soldier ran to Zhao Yi: "My lord, all the blacksmiths in my county have been found." ”

Zhao Yi nodded: "Take me to meet them, and then you go to other counties to find a blacksmith, no matter how good or bad your skills are, please come here." The soldier answered.

Zhang Ru said: "My brother and second brother are in Anxi County, and I heard that the Yellow Turban Army attacked Fanyang County, so I came here to help you." ”

If Zhang Fei came to help, Zhao Yi raised his hands to welcome, as for this Zhang Ru. Zhao Yi smiled bitterly: "You can do it without causing me trouble." ”

While speaking, Zhao Yi entered the room, waved his hand to get up a few blacksmiths who saluted, and asked, "Can a few of you refine round balls?" ”

"Back to my lord, it can be yes, but it takes a lot of time, and there are many edges and corners on the refining ball, which needs to be polished for a long time." The blacksmith said truthfully.

"Angular?" Zhao Yi smiled deeply: "I want to have edges and corners, and trouble a few people to sharpen the edges and corners more." ”

The blacksmith didn't ask much in response, Zhang Ru looked at Zhao Yi with a puzzled expression: "The big war is coming, you don't command the battle, what are you letting the blacksmith refine the iron ball?" ”
