When the Yellow Turban Army entered the city, the people in the city did not wait for Zhang Bao and others to drive away, and they had already run away without a trace, and there was only the Yellow Turban Army under their own command in the empty Changshe County.

During the day, you can still hear the shouting of soldiers, but at night it is quiet and terrifying. Zhang Bao walked back and forth two steps, looked at the two rows of Yellow Turban soldiers standing straight in the courtyard, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

The third brother Zhang Liang seemed to be a little calmer than Zhang Bao, kneeling on the cushion and sipping the wine in his mouth: "Second brother, don't walk around anymore, we have sent the most elite soldiers in our hands, and there are still six thousand Yellow Turban troops hidden in Zhongmu County." It's a sure win. ”

Zhang Bao walked to the table and drank the wine, and then sighed: "Third brother, it's not that I'm anxious, but this battle is very important. But the uprising lasted only three or four months, and the elite lost more than half. At this time, the eldest brother is struggling with Lu Zhi at the Jizhou territory, and we must open up the road to the north as soon as possible and round with the eldest brother's department as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Liang also sighed slightly, the eldest brother created the Taiping Road, and he has been wandering in the world for more than ten years, what a hero. It is a bit ironic that he would lose at the hands of a hairy boy named Zhao Yi. "Big brother, news came a few days ago that Zhao Yi is coming here at this time, let's be careful. To be honest, I really want to fight Zhao Yi to see if he is as powerful as the eldest brother said in his letter. ”

Zhang Bao naturally hated Zhao Yi to the core, Guangzong suffered heavy losses in the Yellow Turban Army in the first battle, although it was the Yellow Turban Army under Zhang Jiao who died, but after all, it was still the strength of the Yellow Turban Army that was lost, and the situation would be very different between 70,000 more and 70,000 less. If Zhang Bao had 70,000 more people in his hands, then he would not have confronted the official army here, and would have led the army to kill Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's troops a long time ago. And if Zhang Jiao had these 70,000 people, he would not have been chased around like a rabbit by Lu Zhi: "There is no need to worry about this matter, we will have a chance to make friends." ”

"Second brother, if we want to go north, we must defeat Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, not only to defeat, but also to defeat them, otherwise we will go north, they will definitely follow, and the war will be ignited behind us, at that time, since our army has to deal with the defenders of the city gate and the Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun behind us, it can be said that we will suffer from the enemy, I am afraid that we will not go far, and we will be wiped out by the official army." Zhang Liang explained the current situation.

Zhang Bao, who Zhang Liang was worried about, naturally had already thought: "It's not easy to eliminate the official army, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are both battlefield generals, and they are very good at marching and fighting, and there are Cao Cao and Sun Jian under his hands, although the number is less than ours, but the combat power is not worse than ours, if there is a slight negligence and is caught by the other party, it is very likely that we will die." ”

Zhang Liang was about to say something, but he saw Tanma running in, and from this Tanma's panicked look, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts: "Say, what happened?" ”

"Report, report to the lord, the siege force of our army has been wiped out, and the soldiers hidden in Zhongmu County have also been wiped out." Tanma's tone trembled a little.

Zhang Bao's face changed greatly when he heard the news, "How is it possible, the siege force is the elite of our army, and its combat power is not inferior to that of the officers and soldiers." How can they all be wiped out? "When he sent his soldiers to attack today, he got the news that Huangfu Song had sent people to support Zhongmu County. Cao Cao only brought 5,000 soldiers, and the defenders of Zhongmu County only had 6,000 soldiers, but he sent 16,000 men in Zhongmu County, and he was almost invincible in internal and external attacks.

At this time, the soldiers of the two roads were all wiped out, not to mention that Zhang Bao didn't believe it, and Zhang Liang didn't believe it either: "Cao Cao's combat strength is not as good as our elite, and all the soldiers in Zhongmu County are hidden among the displaced people, even if the officers and soldiers can't find out one by one for ten days, why will the whole army be wiped out?" ”

Tanma told Zhang Bao and the two of them the news they had discovered, and the two words mentioned the most were Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi disguised himself as the Yellow Turban Army to lure the soldiers in the city into the net, and Zhao Yi sent elite soldiers to support Cao Cao, so that the Yellow Turban Dafang 10,000 soldiers were all wiped out.

Every time Tanma said something, the faces of the two of them became gloomy. "Zhao Yi has already arrived in Zhongmu County, why don't you tell me early!" Zhang Bao snorted, if he knew that Zhao Yi was in Zhongmu County, how could he be so anxious to attack Zhongmu County. Even if it is to attack Zhongmu County, it will definitely not follow the original plan, and it is because of the variable of Zhao Yi's 8,000 soldiers that this operation was a failure, and he lost his troops and generals.

"Not long after Zhao Yi arrived in Zhongmu County, he ordered Zhongmu County to be under full martial law, and no one was allowed to approach the city wall, otherwise he would be punished as a collaborator and beheaded on the spot." Tanma replied tremblingly.

Zhang Bao made it to the cushion, waved his hand weakly and stepped back, holding the bronze jue with the other hand, his eyes were cold: "Okay, Zhao Yi is scheming and resourceful!" ”

As soon as he met Zhao Yi, he lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and Zhang Liang also put away his contempt: "Second brother, at this time, Zhao Yi has already arrived in the camp of Huangfu Song, Zhao Yi's resourcefulness and the eight thousand elite soldiers under his command make the situation not optimistic at this time. ”

Zhang Bao's eyes rolled: "Pass the order, the whole city is on alert, and send soldiers to contact the rebels elsewhere for reinforcements." ”

The soldiers led the soldiers down to do their work.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yi went out with Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others to investigate the military camp of the Yellow Turban Army. Huangfu Song's camp is only twenty miles away from the county seat of Changshe. As long as there is a big move in the barracks of both sides, they will definitely not be able to escape the prying eyes of the lookout posts.

Cao Cao took Zhao Yi to walk a distance, and he saw a village in which the Yellow Turban Army was stationed, and the soldiers came and went frequently, staring at Huangfu Song's camp.

"Bolai, you see, the villages within a radius of more than ten miles of Changshe are all under the control of the Yellow Turban. It's impossible for us to surprise the troops, no matter where we pass by, we can't escape the eyes and ears of these people. Cao Cao sighed, although the gap between the villages was connected by large wheat fields, but because the wheat fields were too short, the possibility of crawling forward was also very high.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were very bold, and their camp was less than five miles away from the nearest village controlled by the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhao Yi carefully looked at the surrounding situation: "At this time, the layout of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army is like a spider, these villages are the eight legs of spiders, if you want to kill a spider, you have to avoid those eight legs, and pierce your heart with an arrow at a very fast speed." ”

Cao Cao's eyes flashed: "Bo Lai described it very aptly, and said the point, but it is already very difficult to avoid the village, and how can you avoid the city wall about three zhang high." ”

"If we can lure those Yellow Turban Army out, it will be much easier to fight this battle." Liu Bei said his thoughts, in the Guangzong Battle that day, Zhao Yi also mobilized all the 150,000 soldiers of Zhang Jiao, looking for opportunities in the sports war, and succeeded in one fell swoop. If the Yellow Turban Army can be mobilized, Zhao Yi may be able to perform miraculous feats again.

"The news of our army's complete victory yesterday must have reached the ears of Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, who had just been defeated, in order to avoid another defeat. They must be more timid than they were before, and it is not so easy to get them moving. Zhao Yi sighed, the reason why Zhang Jiao moved an army of 150,000 that day was because he had never failed in the battle with the official army, and he was also equal and full of sharpness, so he dared to make a big bet and put his future on that battle. But Zhang Bao's spirit has just been frustrated, and they will not be easily dispatched. If you want to mobilize the Yellow Turban Army, unless the official army is pouring out to attack the village and the city, but that is to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800.

It is not difficult to win this battle, as long as there are thousands of elite soldiers sneaking into the city and killing the two brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, the official army will win without a fight, but looking at the current situation, it is difficult to do it.

At this time, Zhao Yi was attracted by a strange rustling sound, and when he looked closely, it turned out that it was a few bold voles ignoring Zhao Yi and the others and burrowing out of the ground to feed.

Zhao Yi stared at the vole next to him as if no one was foraging for food, Liu Bei and Cao Cao did not understand Zhao Yi's expression of focusing on the vole, at this time the wheat was about to ripen, this kind of vole was found in the field, there was nothing special.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth and slowly got up: "I thought of it." ”

"What did Bolai think?" Cao Cao asked strangely.

Zhao Yi sold a pass, and did not return to Cao Cao's question, staring at the county seat of Changshe twice: "It's just that I thought of something interesting, let's go back to the camp." ”

Zhao Yi's camp was next to the Huangfu Song camp, and Zhao Yi, who returned to the camp, asked Gao Shun to bring a few Yellow Turban soldiers captured in Zhongmu County.

These captives had already joined Zhao Yi's army, and the Yellow Turban Army's uniforms had already been changed to military uniforms. Zhao Yi summoned these people and thought that he had made some big mistake and asked the general to deal with it personally. One of them hung their heads very low.

Zhao Yi knew that it would take a process for these people to become familiar, so he tried his best to ask in a lighter tone: "How many of you were sent from Changshe County?" ”

"Yes, but since we have surrendered to the official army, we will definitely not have any contact with the gold thief, please believe us!" These soldiers hurriedly replied, because their nervous bodies were constantly shaking, and they kept kowtowing to Zhao Yi to show their loyalty.

Zhao Yi smiled and helped these soldiers up with his own hands: "I'm not saying that you are suspected of collaborating with the enemy, but I want to ask you about something." ”

Zhao Yi's words made these soldiers stabilize their moods, and they nodded busily: "The general has something to say, we must know everything." ”

"Okay, since you have been in Changshe County, you naturally know the general situation in the city. I want you to tell me. For example, where most of the troops lived, how many patrol soldiers and how long they intervened, and where Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang lived. ”

These soldiers were very clear about the questions asked by Zhao Yi, because before they were ordered to enter Zhongmu County, their small party was in charge of patrolling, and told Zhao Yi all the situation: "General, the situation in the city is generally like this, but we don't know if it has changed in the past few days." ”
