Zhao Yi is very familiar with Xu Shu, before Liu Bei visited the thatched house, he was the most important adviser around Liu Bei, if it weren't for Cao Cao to invite Xu Shu's mother to Cao Ying, there would be no Xu Shu going to recommend Zhuge .

Zhao Yi muttered: "I remember that it is recorded in the book that Xu Shu was previously called Xu Fu, who was caught by officials to avenge himself, and then changed his name to Xu Shu after being rescued by his companions, and since then he has abandoned martial arts and literature. I just didn't expect that it was me who enlightened Xu Shu. ”

Look at Xu Shu's later sentence again, and repay the grace of saving life and enlightenment after completing the study, Zhao Yi's face was full of joy.

Back in Fanyang County, Zhao Yi arranged Dian Wei and others to enter the military camp, and then called Liao Hua and Dian Wei to discuss something.

The first sentence he said at the beginning was to let Dian Wei be the general of the heavy armor army, and after sifting and picking up the heavy armor soldiers, the number of heavy armor soldiers increased from the original 100 to 200, although the number was not much, but it was the elite of the entire army.

Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhao Yi to value himself so much: "My lord, the last general has just arrived, how can he lead the heavy armor army, please think twice." ”

It is rumored that the generals of the Three Kingdoms are ranked in force, one Lu, two Zhao, and three Dian Wei. Zhao Yi was very confident in Dian Wei's ability, and appreciated Dian Wei's humility even more: "Generals, don't be humble, no one is more suitable than a general for the generals of the heavy armored army." I hope that the heavy armoured army, under the leadership of the general, will be like an unsheathed sword, invincible! "Dian Wei's bravery is very similar to the temperament of the heavy armor army, if the general is not brave, then how to lead the soldiers to break through the enemy camp. Originally, Zhao Yi was optimistic about Zhang Fei, but unfortunately Zhang Fei had already followed Liu Bei, and at this time there was a more suitable person than Zhang Fei, why not?

As a general, he naturally wants to command the elite soldiers, and this heavy armor army is operated by Liao Hua himself from the armor building to the selection of soldiers, as if he worked hard to raise a child, but in the end he found out that the child was not his own.

Liao Hua felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but he heard Li Si, who came back first, talk about Dian Wei's martial arts. At that time, Li Si only said one sentence: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are definitely not Dian Wei's opponents." "Liao Hua fought with Guan Yu, and was caught by Guan Yu in a few rounds. Dian Wei can beat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and he is indeed a general. I also have to admit that Dian Wei is indeed the right person.

Compared with the national righteousness and personal feelings, Liao Hua did not hesitate to choose the national righteousness: "My lord's eyes are like torches, and General Dian Wei is indeed the most suitable candidate." ”

Dian Wei bowed down to answer the order, staring at Zhao Yi with burning eyes. The heart said that he was originally from a rogue background, but the adults not only disliked it, but also entrusted him with important tasks. Although Dian Wei died, it is difficult to repay the kindness of adults.

Zhao Yi groped his chin: "General Liao, how many people are there in the barracks?" ”

Liao Hua thought for a moment: "Lord Hui, plus the soldiers brought by Dian Wei, there are about 3,500 new soldiers in the past few days. ”

Zhao Yi's eyes rolled: "I have an idea of reforming the army, and every ten people will be selected as ten people, and one hundred people will be selected as one hundred people." Ordinary training is commanded by 10 commanders and 100 commanders, and when marching and fighting, these people are in command, and even if the enemy captures and kills our generals, we will not be overwhelmed. ”

Dian Wei and Liao Hua agreed with Zhao Yi's method, and agreed to and implemented this reform at that time. The so-called elections are simple, to subdue people by force. The sound of fighting and screaming throughout the barracks came and went.

Zhao Yi didn't stay in the barracks for long, he would arrive at the mansion, and Mei Lan Zhuju in the backyard was busy making hydrosol, and after saying hello to him, Zhao Yi went straight to the backyard to check the corn.

Just caught a few small bugs, the county Cheng Yin hurriedly came here: "My lord, the county guard is here." ”

Zhao Yi stopped his movements: "Guo Xun is here?" Groping his chin and taking two steps back and forth in the backyard. Last time, I made up a master to come out and coax Guo Xun and dispel Guo Xun's desire to win over, but this time I don't know what else is going on. asked Cheng Yin: "Did the county guard take something?" ”

Cheng Yin was stunned for a moment: "No, the county guard seems to have something urgent and is pacing in the living room." "The county guard saw the county order, and it should be the county order that prepared the gift, Zhao Yi actually wanted the county guard to prepare a gift for himself, which is not in line with the way of officialdom.

Something urgent? Zhao Yi rolled his eyes and waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”

The county guard Guo Xun was walking back and forth in the living room with an anxious face, and when he saw Zhao Yi coming, his face showed joy.

Zhao Yi hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Lord County Guard." I wonder what the county keeper is doing here? ”

The situation was urgent, and Guo Xun didn't talk to Zhao Yi at length: "Bolai, how many people do you have in Fanyang County now?" ”

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows and kept a heartfelt eye: "There are a lot of people who have come to defect recently, and there are 2,000 people in our department. ”

"Two thousand men." The county guard groped his chin and muttered, "Bolai, I got the news." The Yellow Turban Dafang and Xiaofang, who are active in Youzhou, have converged, and will launch an attack on Zhuo County in the near future and converge with the Zhangjiao Department in Jizhou. I want Bo Lai to lead his men to the rescue. ”

Zhao Yi pondered for a while: "Since the county guard has an order, his subordinates should obey it." Xia Guan wants to ask, is this news reliable? "The brigade was transferred out of the city, and wouldn't it be very passive if the Yellow Turban Army came to attack.

The Yellow Turban Army is the attacking party, and the initiative is in the hands of others, and no one dares to determine who the Yellow Turban Army is attacking until the moment of real fighting. ，

Guo Xun was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Yi's suspicions: "My subordinate Tanma reports the military situation every three hours, and the Yellow Turban Army is directed at Zhuo County, I am afraid that I will go to Zhuo County tomorrow afternoon, and I have taken two thousand soldiers to support." We only need to guard for a few days, and when General Lu Zhi breaks through Zhangjiao, he will lead a large army into Zhuoxian, and then we will attack inside and outside to annihilate this group of yellow turban thieves. ”

"Okay, since the news is accurate, the lower officials should obey their orders." Zhao Yi bowed down to receive the order.

Guo Xun and Zhao Yi set a time to send troops, and left here for Anxi County. After Guo Xun left, Zhao Yi called Liao Hua and asked him to lead 1,500 people to support Zhuoxian.

and instructed Liao Hua to find a soldier who looked roughly like Zhao Yi and let this person pretend to be himself.

"Won't you go out in person?" Without Zhao Yi to accompany him, Liao Hua always felt that he had no bottom in his heart.

Zhao Yi thought for a moment: "The total number of soldiers and horses in Zhuo County is only 5,000, and we are facing more than 13,000 enemy troops attacking the city. Our troops will certainly not be able to hold out, so that this force on the periphery of us will have a great effect and can harass the enemy in the rear. And I'm afraid that after the Yellow Turban Army surrounds Zhuo County, it will send elite troops to attack the surrounding counties. If there are no soldiers to guard it, Fanyang County may not be protected. This is also the reason why Zhao Yi underreported a thousand people before. With more than 1,000 men and horses in his hands, Zhao Yijin can attack and retreat.

Cheng Yin nodded: "It's still thoughtful as an adult." ”

Liao Hua led his troops to go, Zhao Yi did not let Dian Wei follow, since Guo Xun went to Anxi County, he would naturally ask Liu Bei to support Zhuo County, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were two fierce generals, Zhao Yi sent Dian Wei in the past It was not much use, so he stayed by his side.

……

Guo Xun stood in the city tower of Zhuoxian County, staring at the dusty sky brought up by the northern soldiers and horses, his eyes flashing. The sound of tens of thousands of walking footsteps was like a dull thunder striking the hearts of the defenders on the city tower.

Gongsun Zhan stared into the distance: "The thieves are huge, thanks to the county guard leading the troops to come, otherwise my Zhuo County will not be safe." ”

Two teams of men appeared under the city, led by Liao Hua and Guan Yu.

The soldier reported to Guo Xun: "Report to the county guard, Guan Yu and Liao Hua, two generals, to come to help." ”

A smile appeared on Guo Xun's face: "Open the city gate." ”

Guan Yu and Liao Hua led their troops into the city and went up to the city wall together, Guan Yu brought 500 people, and Liao Hua brought 1,500 people. With these 2,000 horses, it is not a problem for Zhuo County to guard for a month.

Gongsun Zhan first thanked Guan Yu for leading the troops to the rescue, and then asked Liao Hua: "General Liao, where is Brother Bolai?" Gongsun Zhan is very appreciative of Zhao Yi's resourcefulness, and with Zhao Yi's help to defend the city, there may be unexpected effects.

Liao Hua bowed and replied: "My lord said that if there is a county guarding here, Zhuo County must be impregnable." Before the end of the day, the lord had already given orders, so that the last general would obey the orders of the county guard and Gongsun. ”

Guo Xun was very useful when he heard this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "General Liao has worked hard. ”

Not far away, flags were rolled, people were heavy, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were approaching the city. The leader of the general, dressed in black rhino armor, stopped less than three miles from the city gate, waved his hand and ordered: "Siege the city!" ”

Tens of thousands of horses and horses quickly deployed, surrounding Zhuo County. An enemy general in black armor came to the city gate with a big sword in his hand and shouted: "I am the general Deng Ai, who dares to fight with me." ”

Guo Xun on the city tower turned his head slightly: "Which general can fight." ”

Guan Yu held the knife and came out: "The young general is willing to behead Deng Ai and dedicate it to the tent." ”

"Good!" Guo Xun praised.

Deng Ai and Guan Yu fought just as soon as they got together, and they were cut off the horse by Guan Yu.

Chenglou Guo Xun exclaimed: "Okay, Xuande has this person to help, why can't he make contributions!" ”

The Yellow Turban generals who were watching the battle on the other side saw that Deng Ai was killed in just one round when he fought with others, and his face was not good-looking.

The military advisor in the green robe stared at Guan Yu, who was immediately majestic with a horizontal sword: "General, this Guan Yu is unmatched, and no one in our army can match it." ”

The general waved his hand: "Siege!" ”

Thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers carried the ladder and shouted murder in their mouths, and rushed to the city gate. Guo Xun's face was calm: "Release the arrow!" ”

The feather arrow slashed through a black shadow and rushed straight down, and the people in the Yellow Turban Army fell one by one, and the feather arrows shot by the Yellow Turban Army also caused a lot of soldiers who threw rolling wood and thunder stones down the city tower.

The Yellow Turban Army attacked fiercely with a large number of people, and rushed to the city tower several times, and was cut down again by the soldiers on the city tower. The two sides fought fiercely for two hours, and both the offensive and defensive sides suffered heavy casualties.

As soon as it was dark, the Yellow Turban Army gave up the siege, and thousands of corpses were thrown under the city, and more than 700 people were killed and wounded on Guo Xun's side.

In the tent of the Yellow Turban barracks, the general was discussing things with the military advisors, and received the report from Tanma: "General Yu, Zhao Yiqin of Fanyang County led 1,500 people to support Zhuo County, and Guan Yu of Anxi County led 500 people to support Zhuo County. ”

"General, the elite of the two counties is exhausted, and I think the defenders of Fanyang and Anxi counties together are only a thousand people at most." The military advisor speculated for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "The general's plan can be implemented." ”
