Chapter Ninety-Nine: Wancheng
Before arriving in Wancheng, Zhao Yi had checked the map and had some understanding of the surrounding landforms of Wancheng. Although it took a lot of time to save the boy's mother during the march, he did not stop thinking about it.
"General, according to the humble position, the rebels' new victory is like a rainbow, but most of the soldiers under his command are homeless people, which can be described as a rabble. Although it occupies a lot of territory, it is not a cause for concern. As long as we capture Wancheng and capture Zhao Hong alive, the rest of the counties will be invincible. Zhao Yi groped his chin, "Our movement must have been known to Zhao Hong's department, presumably Wancheng has been on guard at this time." It is not easy to take a trick, so it is better to send a large army to besiege the city, frustrate its spirit, and then send people to surrender. "After the battles of Guangzong and Changshe, most of the elite of the Yellow Turban Army have been removed. Zhao Yilai had done an investigation before, and most of Zhao Hong's subordinates were homeless people, not the elite trained by Zhang Jiao's three brothers. If the city is besieged and called for war, behead its elite soldiers. If you issue a special decree again, you will not be guilty of the past, and this battle will be won.
Zhu Jun's thoughts are a little different from Zhao Yi's: "Now it is different from the original Zhang Jiao uprising, at this time, the 36 yellow turban thieves under Zhang Jiao's department were destroyed by our official army, and it was no longer the chaos in the world and the uncertainty of the people at that time. Now that the sea is unified, the general trend of the world has been decided, and only the remnants of the Yellow Turban have rebelled. If they are allowed to surrender, they will not be able to persuade the good, so that the thieves will plunder at will, and if they lose, they will surrender. ”
Zhu Jun's words Zhao Yi understood that what he was afraid of was that if it started, I was afraid that the rebellion in the future would not be easy to control. The remnants of the Yellow Turban are not only Zhao Hong, if they burn and loot, they will be surrounded by the official army and surrender as a matter of course. It is not enough to warn the world, and it is difficult to control such a cycle.
Zhu Jun wanted to use iron-blooded means to suppress Zhao Hong's subordinates, so that the rest of the remnants of the Yellow Turban did not dare to resist again.
In troubled times, Zhao Yi is naturally very clear about this truth. Since Zhu Jun had made a decision in his heart, Zhao Yi didn't say anything more, everything depends on tomorrow's siege battle.
Zhao Yi had even thought of the bloody scene tomorrow, and sighed slightly.
Observing the expression on Zhao Yi's face, Zhu Jun shook his head slightly: "The strategy that Bolai said earlier is indeed a good way, but this time is different from the past, for the sake of long-term peace and stability, we must kill the killer." You should understand that compared with the stability of the world, the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops in Wancheng are really insignificant. If Zhao Hong's subordinates were not killed by iron-blooded means, it was inevitable that more Zhao Hong's people would appear in the future. ”
Zhao Yi nodded, this is also the way to be willing: "The general understands what he said, but not allowing the Yellow Turban Thief to surrender will definitely make Zhao Hong's troops fight desperately." At that time, everyone will be unstoppable. Zhao Yi's words mean that he agreed with Zhu Jun's plan, but if that is the case, even if the official army takes Wancheng, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and this kind of thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred will not be done by Zhao Yi. After thinking about it for a while, he came up with an idea: "Why don't you leave a way for the Yellow Turban Thieves to survive when they attack the city." "Human nature is like this, if you leave a way for people to live, you will not have the heart to fight to the death and not retreat, and the front of the official army is very fierce, the thieves will definitely abandon the city and flee, and have no intention of fighting. At that time, as long as the officials and soldiers chase after the situation, they will be able to kill Zhao Hong.
Zhu Jun's eyes lit up: "Bolai clever plan." ”
At this time, Zhao Yi and Zhu Jun were here to discuss the plan to break the city, and Zhao Hong and others in the city were also discussing how to defend. Tanma brought news of the official army early in the morning.
Zhao Hong has integrated his soldiers and horses in Wancheng, preparing to fight to the death with the official army. At this time, he was discussing the matter of defending the city with his subordinates in the government office, and the dancing flames on the lampstand reflected the continuous shaking of the figures of several people, and the solemn faces of these generals made the atmosphere a little depressing.
Zhao Hong looked around and took in the faces of the generals. Asked: "Generals, at this moment, 30,000 officers and troops are coming, what should we do?" In fact, Zhao Hong already had an idea in his heart, but he still had to ask for the opinions of these people, because he was not the only one in the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng. Although he has the most people, he has no right to make decisions for others in the face of such life-and-death choices.
Everyone was silent, and the last general wearing a black rhino battle armor with a yellow scarf tied around his neck opened the conversation for a while: "General Zhao, the 30,000 officers and soldiers are just going back, and we also have tens of thousands of soldiers at this time, all of whom are iron-clad men." I am not afraid of those officers and soldiers. Speaking of this, the person's voice changed, "But the commander of the army this time is none other than Zhao Yi, who defeated the Tiangong general in the first place." I'm afraid our army will fight with it, I'm afraid it will ......" The general didn't say the rest of the words, but these generals knew what this person meant, Tiangong General Zhang Jiao, the soul of his Yellow Turban Army, was not Zhao Yi's opponent, how could his own defeated generals who gathered up be Zhao Yi's opponent.
So when they heard the general's words, all the generals nodded and agreed with this man's opinion.
Zhao Hong squinted his eyes and looked at the generals in front of him, when he attacked Wancheng before, these people were all screaming, with the momentum of the eldest and their second, and now when they heard the words Zhao Yi, they actually had the heart to withdraw the army, which made Zhao Hong very angry: "According to what General Sun Yang said, our department should withdraw the army now and give Wancheng to Zhao Yi's officers and soldiers?" These people were silent, thinking that they couldn't make up their minds, "The Yellow Turban soldiers fought bloodily to achieve today's results, how can we give them away now, so the blood of the soldiers the day before yesterday was not shed in vain?" ”
"General Zhao is reasonable, I am determined to avenge General Tiangong, although the sword and axe are combined, I will not change my heart. If Zhao Yi comes to attack, the last general is willing to be the vanguard! A general stared coldly at several generals around him, and secretly said in his heart that these people have no backbone, and it is okay to rob the people. There is no courage to confront the officers and troops at all.
Zhao Hong's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart that he had finally found a like-minded person, and his eyes were eagerly staring at this general: "General Zhang Ming is brave and commendable, and he is worthy of being General Tiangong's cronies." Zhao Hong followed Zhang Ming's meaning and said: "Our army is fighting the banner to avenge General Tiangong, and at this time the enemy is here, and our army is just attacking it." How can you retreat without a fight? All the generals are the famous Yellow Turban Generals, if they flee without a fight, how can they have the face to meet the three brothers of General Tiangong under Jiuquan in the future. ”
Sun Yang and other generals who said these words were red-faced, and finally bowed down to obey the order: "General Zhao is the leader of the alliance we jointly elected. General Zhao is invited to call the shots. ”
Seeing that all the generals were united, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Hong's mouth: "Our army is united, and we will be able to break the official army." Saying that, Zhao Hong began to dispatch troops and assign tasks to these generals. A patrol was also dispatched in the city to prevent the incident of the Changsha from happening again.
When the generals were ordered to go down to handle it, Zhao Hong stopped Zhang Ming and said that he had another task assigned.
After those generals left, Zhao Hong glanced at Zhang Ming and asked, "I have a dangerous thing here, I don't know if the general has the courage to agree?" ”
Zhang Ming bowed down and asked, "General, please speak." ”
Zhao Hong put the map away and sighed: "What does the general think of tomorrow's battle?" ”
Although Zhang Ming has courage, the 30,000 officers and troops led by Zhao Yi and Zhu Jun are not just courageous to fight away. Without thinking, he explained the current situation: "General Rongyu, the battle situation is not in our favor at this time. ”
Knowing that Zhao Yi led the official army to attack, the hearts of the Yellow Turban Army fluctuated, and many of these soldiers were defeated by the Yellow Turban Army that day. In addition, the three brothers Zhang Jiao lost Zhao Yi in the battles of Quyang and Yangcheng, which made the resentment and fear of Zhao Yi in the hearts of these Yellow Turban soldiers reach a very high level, and some soldiers even said that Zhao Yi was the nemesis of the Yellow Turban Army.
Even Zhao Hong, who didn't believe in superstition, couldn't find any words to refute it, and he really hadn't tasted defeat since Zhao Yi fought with the Yellow Turban Army.
The morale of the army is fluctuating and there are still smart people like Zhao Yi in the official army, and Zhao Hong's grasp of this battle is not very good. "This is a very important battle for our department, and we need to be careful about it." Zhao Hong pondered for a while, "If our army sticks to the city and waits for Zhao Yi to fight, then our army will definitely be defeated." "Because Wancheng is a lonely city, if the official army besieges the city, Zhao Hong's department has absolutely no possibility of survival, because the official army can mobilize troops and horses from the adjacent counties endlessly, and his own department can only shrink in Wancheng, waiting for death.
Zhang Ming's eyes flashed: "The general means that we want to take the initiative to attack?" ”
Zhao Hongxin said that Zhang Ming's thinking turned quickly: "Yes, if we can't defeat Zhao Yi's officers and soldiers, we will definitely be squeezed to death by the officers and soldiers." "If you can defeat the officers and troops of Zhao Yi's department head-on, Zhao Hong's department will be mighty, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army scattered in Bazhou will definitely return from the wind. Zhao Yi's undefeated myth is shattered, and Zhao Hong is the natural leader, and his future achievements may be above Zhang Jiao.
In fact, Zhao Hong wanted to lead these soldiers to attack Luoyang directly, but these generals did not want to take risks, saying that it was the best policy to first lay down a piece of the country in Jingzhou and be invincible.
Finally, Zhao Hong reluctantly led these soldiers to capture Wancheng, and this kind of day was not long before it was broken by the official army led by Zhao Yi.
"I will send 5,000 elite soldiers to the command of the general, hoping that the general can defeat the officers and troops head-on."
Zhao Hong handed over such an important task to himself, and Zhang Ling immediately bowed down to receive the order and went down to prepare for the soldiers.
At dusk the next day, Tanma reported that Zhao Yi's army was less than thirty miles away from Wancheng. Zhao Hong stood at the entrance of the city and watched, and could see the dust scattered in the distance. Zhao Hong was both nervous and excited, Zhao Yi's army is finally here!
Getting closer and closer to Wancheng, Zhao Yi could see the soldiers standing on the city wall, and the word "Zhao" was written on the banner waving in the wind, and he looked at the guards on the city wall.
There are a lot of knife marks and dark red blood stains on this quaint city wall, and it is not so easy for Zhao Hong's troops to capture Wancheng a few days ago, Zhao Yi and Zhao Hong are far away. Zhu Jun waved his hand: "Order the army, set up camp and attack the city tomorrow!" ”
