"Officers and soldiers? Zhao Yi climbed the city wall and looked into the distance with his eyes. At this time, the generous soldiers of the Yellow Turban were only a dozen miles away from their side, and the forward rode extremely fast, and at this time it was less than eight miles away from Zhongmu County. The dust is billowing and you can see a lot of homeless people running frantically this way.

And in the southwest direction of the Yellow Turban Army, there was also a group of men and horses advancing quickly, only to see a black helmet, which was clearly distinguishable from the turban of the Yellow Turban Army.

At present, both sides are trying their best to march towards Zhongmu County, Liu Bei saw the current situation, and his face showed a trace of joy: "Brother Bolai, it seems that these officers and soldiers are here to help us." ”

Zhao Yi ordered his soldiers not to act rashly and prepare for the siege. "Well, Brother Xuande's guess should be right." It should be Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun who discovered the abnormal movement of the Yellow Turban Army, so they sent troops to help.

The leader of the Yellow Turban Army was also a bit of a brain, so he turned his horse's head and turned back to the officers and soldiers who rushed over to kill. If this group of officers and troops attacked during the siege of the city, then the Yellow Turban Army would have suffered heavy losses from the enemy. It's better to take the initiative to attack at this time, the city wall can't run away, as long as you defeat these officers and soldiers, the city wall is not how to attack, how to attack.

There was a scuffle between the soldiers and horses of the two sides fifteen miles away from the county seat, and Zhao Yi on the city tower could only see the smoke and dust billowing there, and the two troops were fighting together. Although he was not around the battlefield, seeing the chaotic scene, Zhao Yi could imagine the tragic situation of the battle.

Those Yellow Turban Army were different from the ordinary Yellow Turban Army troops, the two sides fought together, and those Yellow Turban Army did not retreat in the slightest. It seems that it should be the same as the 30,000 elite soldiers of Zhang Jiao at the beginning, all of whom are battle-hardened warriors.

Many soldiers fell to the ground, and the sound of fighting could be heard more than ten miles away, which made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two tiger generals, enthusiastic, constantly grasp their blades with their right hands.

"Brother Bolai, I see that the officers and soldiers are about to lose their support, should we help?" Liu Bei watched the number of officers and soldiers continue to decrease, and asked Zhao Yi.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also asking for battle, Zhao Yi thought about it for a while, and decided to send troops to rescue, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led 2,000 soldiers to rush to help.

The 4,000 soldiers of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were like two feather arrows, rushing forward quickly. Carrying an indomitable spirit, it was inserted into the depth of the battle.

With these 4,000 new troops, the officers and soldiers who were about to be unable to support them suddenly ignited hope in their hearts. The decadent temperament suddenly became incomparable, and the spear in his hand screamed mercilessly piercing the chests of the Yellow Turban Army.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than an hour, and finally annihilated the 10,000 Yellow Turban Army, and the three official troops merged into one and rushed towards Zhongmu County. The soldiers were covered in blood, but they were smiling and laughing.

Getting closer and closer to the city gate, Zhao Yi also saw the general flag of the army commander, only to see a big "Cao" character waving in the wind, and the original white edge was stained with a lot of blood.

Under the banner is a general with thin eyebrows and long hair, who is talking to Guan Yu and others, and between the turns of his eyes, with an indescribable temperament, even among Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he still stands out.

There are not many such domineering generals in the Three Kingdoms, and this person is surnamed Cao, is it Cao Cao? Zhao Yi couldn't help but think in his heart.

Zhao Yi personally went out of the city to greet him, and welcomed a group of soldiers into the city, and the bearded man glanced at Zhao Yi with a smile: "The name of Bolai, Meng De has already been like thunder, and today I see that he is really handsome and extraordinary." ”

For Zhao Yi, the word Meng De is really like thunder, and the land of China has reverberated endlessly for thousands of years. Zhao Yi thought that he would be able to meet Cao Cao, a capable minister who ruled the world and a traitor in troubled times, but he didn't expect to see it here.

Zhao Yi quickly retracted the shock on his face, and said with a smile: "The name of Meng De has long been heard of by Bolai, and when I saw my brother today, he was really extraordinary. ”

The two of them smiled politely, and when they talked about the battle just now, Cao Cao still had palpitations when he thought about it now: "General Huangfu closely observed the movements of the Changshe, and Tanma reported that the Yellow Turban Army was marching towards Zhongmu County, and the general immediately knew the purpose of the Yellow Turban Thief and sent me to support." I didn't expect that there were such elite soldiers in the hands of the Yellow Turban Thief, and their combat effectiveness was almost equal to that of our official army," Speaking of this, Cao Cao glanced at Guan Yu deeply, and his eyes were full of appreciation: "Fortunately, Yun Chang helped, otherwise my life would have been taken away by the Yellow Turban Thief." ”

Guan Yu stroked his beard lightly and didn't care: "Your Excellency doesn't need to be polite. ”

Cao Cao laughed twice and followed Zhao Yi and the others into the city, and when he saw Gao Shun and the others standing at the city gate, his eyes showed a look of surprise, how could there be so many yellow turban thieves with weapons here? Several lieutenants around him reacted even more, and they all drew their long swords to block Cao Cao behind him.

Zhao Yi saw Cao Cao's nervous appearance and explained the matter.

Hearing that Zhao Yi used clever tricks to wipe out the yellow turban thieves hidden in the county, Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yi twice, and the news of the battle of Guangzong naturally reached the ears of Cao Cao and others, and Zhao Yi, who had made great contributions, was naturally impressed. Originally, Cao Cao thought that Zhao Yi was a wise man in his fifties, but he didn't expect that when he saw him today, Zhao Yi was several years younger than him. Naturally, he suspected that those schemes were not what Zhao Yi thought. But hearing Zhao Yi's deeds in Zhongmu County, Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yi differently. This man is indeed a great talent.

"If I knew that there was a Bolai town guarding Zhongmu County, I wouldn't have to go through this." Cao Cao admired Zhao Yi's resourcefulness very much, and if he didn't have himself, he would have even seen the Yellow Turban Army being introduced into the city in a dilemma. "At this time, the crisis in Zhongmu County has been lifted, and Bolai can meet General Huangfu and General Zhu in the big camp where I can go.

Liu Bei, who was on the side, saw that Cao Cao was courteous to Zhao Yi, but he was very cold to himself, and his face was a little not good-looking. Zhao Yi is too sharp, and under his dazzling brilliance, anyone can only be reduced to a foil. Compared with Zhao Yi, who has made great contributions many times, his contributions in Zhuojun and Qingzhou are really insignificant.

However, Cao Cao was very polite to Guan Yu, and between words, Zhao Yi could feel that Cao Cao wanted to win over Guan Yu.

When Zhao Yi and the others left Zhongmu County, the county commander personally went out of the city to see them off: "If it weren't for Bolai and Xuande, my Zhongmu County would have been occupied by the Yellow Turban Thieves at this time, I won't say much if I thank you, I just hope that the two of you can come to my Zhongmu County as guests after their success." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Zhao Yi bowed his hand to the county order and led the soldiers to leave here.

The army walked for five hours, and finally saw the official army camp of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the situation in the camp On the way to the march, Cao Cao had already told Zhao Yi that the official army was only more than 60,000 people, and the Yellow Turban Army in Changshe was 130,000. Both sides have been facing each other for two days, both waiting for reinforcements.

The two middle-aged generals, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, learned that Zhao Yi and others came to help, and gave them enough face, so they went out of the city to greet them in person: "I have long heard that there are two heroes in Youzhou, and they have recently made great contributions in Guangzong. ”

Zhao Yi and Liu Bei hurriedly saluted, said some unnutritious compliments, and welcomed Zhao Yi and Liu Bei into the camp. After the politeness, everyone began to discuss the military situation.

"At this time, the Yellow Turban Thieves are guarding the Changshe and occupy many villages, as long as we attack a little, we will definitely attract reinforcements from many places." Huang Fu Song briefly explained the current situation.

The current situation is not very good for the officers and the Yellow Turban Army, and both sides are consuming in the confrontation. "The day before yesterday, I was lucky enough to capture Yingchuan, and today the Yellow Turban Thieves occupy a powerful situation, which can be described as attacking and retreating, and our army will not want to capture Changshe in a short period of time." Zhu Jun sighed, they were the same as Lu Zhi were all famous Zhonglang generals in the dynasty, at this time Lu Zhi had already established meritorious deeds, and more than half of Zhang Jiao's troops were wiped out in the first battle, which greatly reduced the strength of the Yellow Turban Thieves. I also want to make a contribution, but I don't have a practical plan.

Cao Cao's eyes glanced at Zhao Yi: "Bo Lai is proficient in strategy, I heard General Lu say that the first battle of Guangzong that day was Bo Lai's meritorious service, and now Bo Lai has some understanding of the battlefield situation, do you want to come up with a strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun also looked at Zhao Yi expectantly, hoping that Zhao Yi could come up with a good way to annihilate this group of yellow turban thieves in one fell swoop.

Zhao Yi smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that at this time, the strength of the two armies is equal, and the battle between the two armies is preemptive, but the opportunity to control the enemy must be sure to win, otherwise if the flaw is seen, then the one who loses is himself.

The two Yellow Turban armies are too scattered, and the distance between the two sides is not very far, which can be said to affect the whole body. Zhao Yi has no good way at present, so he can only say: "I want to go to Changshe County tomorrow to check the situation in person, so as to formulate a practical plan." ”

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, Bolai is reasonable, what you see on the map is not the truth that you can see with your eyes." Huangfu Song did not despise Zhao Yi because Zhao Yi did not come up with a plan, on the contrary, he appreciated Zhao Yi even more, and it was inevitable that he would be arrogant when he became famous, and some of the things he had done in the past were successful, and he would naturally have vanity when he was praised by people. There are many talented people who just care about that little bit of vanity, and they pretend to understand things that they don't know and don't know, and they don't say anything about themselves, but also hurt others.

As a general, any small mistake can lead to the destruction of the army, so you should be cautious when ordering. Zhao Yi's behavior made Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun very appreciative.

The two sent Zhao Yi out of the camp, and Huangfu Song praised: "This son is really a generation of talents, I think even Meng De is a little worse than him." ”

Zhu Jun agreed with what Huang Fusong said.

At this time, the two brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, who were in Changshe County, were also discussing the matter of dealing with the official army, and the army of a large and that small party sent to Zhongmu County had no news so far, which made Zhang Bao fidget and walk back and forth in the hall.
