Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Changing Tide of Battle
"
For Xu Kang, who suddenly became enthusiastic, Cao Cao was stunned for a few seconds before he asked with some uncertainty.
What does General Xu mean by this...... Isn't Mo planning to marry a subordinate as a brother of the opposite sex? But...... Why is that? ”
"Aha, how can there be so many whys, I just look at you pleasing to the eye!"
Xu Kang laughed loudly and hugged Cao Cao's shoulders very familiarly.
"Let me tell you, I don't look at my background or official position when making friends, I just want to fall in love, we can meet in such a situation, and my cousin is called Yide, and your cousin is Mengde, isn't this fate? Could it be that I can still ask you for money? ”
Cao Cao: "......"
It's possible!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's face twitched suddenly, but he didn't make a sound, just his eyes narrowed slightly.
As soon as he saw his expression, Xu Kang understood that this guy was suspicious, and he knew that even if he said anything at this time, he would treat it as if he had other plans.
"Lao Cao is too suspicious, and it will only backfire if he entangles him again!"
Thinking of this, he immediately let go of Cao Cao's hand, then took the wine cup in his hand and drank it all, laughing again.
"Hahahaha, happy, I was reckless just now, this glass of wine should be self-punished, come, return the wine cup to you!"
After speaking, he handed the empty wine cup back to Cao Cao, then turned back to his seat and began to toast Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and the others.
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao once again showed a blind face, "What did he mean just now?" ”
Before he could come up with a reason, Huangfu Song on the other side laughed.
"Hahahaha, Meng De, you missed the opportunity, my nephew, when he was young, he worshipped Cai Yilang as a teacher, and later learned from the immortals in Penglai Immortal Dao, not only can he make something out of nothing, but he also knows the art of change, and he is a disciple of the immortal family!"
"Something out of nothing? The art of change? Immortal disciple? ”
Hearing Huangfu Song's words, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Xu Kang, and found that he was drinking with a smile, neither admitting nor denying it.
Then, he turned his head to look at Lu Zhi and Zhu Zhi? y, but found that the two of them were also smiling, but there was a strange smile in their eyes, as if they saw that they had missed something precious.
Before he could figure it out, Xu Kang, who had finished drinking, put down his wine glass, and then opened his mouth with a smile.
"Hehe, uncle doesn't need to lift me up, so as not to provoke Meng De to make fun of me, let's discuss the next arrangements first, what are you going to do?"
Hearing Xu Kang ask about the war, Emperor! "
Huangfu Song put down the wine glass in his hand at this time, and then smiled slightly.
"At this time, we broke the Yellow Turban and killed tens of thousands of thieves, which can be described as a complete victory, and then since we want to pursue the Yellow Turban with the momentum of a great victory, we will completely sweep away the remaining remnants of the Yellow Turban!"
"Not bad!"
Huangfu Song's voice just fell, Zhu? Y nodded as well.
"Now the yellow turbans are scattering and fleeing, but Zhang Jiao is not dead, Bocai, Zhang Mancheng, Bu Ji and others are still ready to move, we should divide our troops to chase them and attack them, so as to prevent future troubles!"
As soon as he said this, everyone nodded their heads, approved of his strategy, and then began to discuss how to divide the troops.
After deliberation, it was decided that the troops would split into two routes.
The first way was that Lu Zhi, Cao Cao and Xu Kang formed the main army, which was responsible for pursuing Zhang Jiao's main force.
The second way is Huangfu Song and Zhu? Y, responsible for pursuing Bocai and attacking the Yellow Turbans of Chenliu and Runan at the same time.
After the discussion, everyone went back to rest, and at the same time ordered people to prepare grain and grass and baggage, and when everything was ready, they each led their troops to pursue the Yellow Turban.
At this time, the Yellow Turban suffered a big defeat, his faith was shaken, and his morale was very low, while the Han army had just won a big victory and its morale was booming.
The comparison between the two can be said to be a superior judgment, and this pursuit and annihilation battle was fought smoothly.
Just after June, good news came from Nanyang, saying that Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie had killed Zhang Mancheng, and the remaining Yellow Turban occupied Wancheng.
Huangfu Song and Zhu who have no worries? y, began to pursue Bocai with all his might, and finally defeated him in Yangzhai, sweeping away the Yellow Turban Army in the Yuzhou area in one fell swoop.
And the battle on Lu Zhi's side was also very smooth.
With Xu Kang's heavy cavalry like a mobile fortress, the Han army was naturally victorious, while the Yellow Turban was defeated and retreated, this situation could not be changed even by Zhang Jiao, and after being killed by Lu Zhi tens of thousands of people, he chose to retreat to Guangzong.
Zhang Jiao retreated to Guangzong, and Lu Zhi began to build barricades, dig trenches, and make ladders.
And Xu Kang's troops were mainly cavalry and were not good at attacking cities, so Lu Zhi ordered him to go north to Dongjun to pursue Bu Ji's Yellow Turban Army, and then return to Changshe to wait for him.
After receiving the order, Xu Kang set off immediately, and it only took about ten days to arrive in Dongjun, and he was captured in a battle, and then it took more than half a month to return to Changshe County with 7,000 prisoners.
Originally, he thought that Lu Zhi had defeated Zhang Jiao and was waiting for him to have a celebration banquet in the city, but what he didn't expect was that when he returned to the city, what he got was the news that Lu Zhi was escorted into Beijing in a prisoner car.
After getting the news, Xu Kang was stunned - look! is about to win, but he makes such a play, this Han Ling Emperor is afraid that he is sick, right?
Later, after Cao Cao's explanation, Xu Kang learned that when Lu Zhi was building ordnance and preparing to attack the city, he happened to meet Zuo Feng, a small yellow gate sent by Emperor Ling to inspect the military situation.
Eunuchs, they are all greedy for money, and if Lu Zhi sends him some money at this time, then he can also blow seven points of merit into twelve points.
If you change Xu Kang, you will definitely give money, anyway, this thing can be earned again after you spend it, and in a few years, it will all become scrap copper and rotten iron, and it is worthless.
But Lu Zhi refused, which was a bad thing.
After Zuo Feng, who did not get a bribe, went back, he falsely accused Emperor Ling that Lu Zhi was ineffective in fighting, and Guangzong, who could be captured in a few days, was dragged by him.
Emperor Ling was unassertive, and when he heard Zuo Feng's words, he was immediately furious, and immediately sent someone to lock Lu Zhi back to the capital division in a prisoner car, and then platoon Dong Zhuo took Lu Zhi's place and continued to attack Zhang Jiao.
Not only Lu Zhi, but even Huangfu Song was also deposed because of the unfavorable battle.
When Xu Kang learned the news, Cao Cao had already withdrawn, obviously unwilling to work with Dong Zhuo, and suggested that Xu Kang should not go either.
This is clearly nonsense.
Lu Zhi locked back in Luoyang, Huangfu Song was deposed, he was already unhappy, at this time, not helping the Yellow Turban was already considered benevolent and righteous, how could he help Dong Zhuo?
But he won't give people a handle, just Zhu? Y was attacking the Yellow Turban in Wancheng, Nanyang, Xu Kang simply took people over, saying that it was support in the name, but in fact it was to grind foreign workers.
For Xu Kang's contribution, Zhu? Although Y was not very happy in his heart, he didn't say much when he thought of Lu Zhi's matter, so he just pretended not to see it.
There are 100,000 yellow turbans in Wancheng, although it is just a group of rabble, but the number of people is there after all, and it is extremely difficult to take Wancheng from them.
A month has passed, but there has been no progress in the fighting.
Of course, for Zhu? Y's "no progress" is a very big progress for Xu Kang.
Just imagine, if Wancheng was captured so quickly, would it prove that Lu Zhi was indeed passive and slacking off on Guangzong's side?
Now that Wancheng hasn't won it for two months, does it prove that Zhang Jiao's Guangzong is more difficult to do?
Just when Xu Kang was happy to find a way to save Lu Zhi, a better news reached his ears-
Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo, who were sent by the imperial court to attack Zhang Jiao, were all defeated, and the imperial court used Huangfu Song again!
When he heard the news, Xu Kang's whole body was in good spirits.
