Chapter 151: Loopholes

I have to say that this Zhang Mancheng really has something in his hands. Every time he asked his subordinate Gong Du to fight the vanguard, Gong was close to the city, and Che Wu went to battle, but as soon as Che Wu ran out, Guan Hai who was ambushed in the crowd was killed, and directly scared Che Wu, so he had to retreat to the city again, Che Wu could only make a bitter face, and said to Cao Xing and Zhou Yin quite embarrassed, his subordinates were indeed incompetent, and asked the two adults to surrender.

"Hehe, what General Che said, you have done your best, it's none of your business." Zhou Yin was quite reasonable, not only did he not blame Che Wu, but he also comforted Che Wu for a while, and Cao Xing next to him couldn't help frowning.

The name Guan Hai still has a very deep impression on Cao Xing, it is said that he is the first general of the Yellow Turban, if you ask who is the most brave in the Yellow Turban Army, it belongs to this Guan Hai. Guan Hai's martial arts have reached the level of martial arts, don't say it's Che Wu, even if Cao Xuan goes out with Che Wu, he may not be able to take advantage, originally Cao Xuan wanted Che Wu to take the lead and trick Guan Hai over, he shot Guan Hai with an arrow.

However, the last time Zhang Mancheng was shot by Cao Xing at a distance of 300 steps, he was very wary of Cao Xing, he told Guan Hai that he could not be 300 steps away from the city head no matter what, and he also sent people to keep an eye on Cao Xing's movements on the city tower, if he found that Cao Xing was not there, he directly asked Guan Hai to withdraw.

Now such a situation is quite a headache for Zhou Yin. Zhang Mancheng has Guan Hai in his hand, a fierce general, and he is invincible in the entire Yingchuan City, plus Zhang Mancheng is a guy who is careful in his work, and he will never make a second mistake in strategy, just relying on the advantage of more soldiers, the entire Yingchuan City is surrounded, and there are small yellow turbans around him constantly approaching, and now the number of Zhang Mancheng's subordinates has reached more than 20,000 people, if there are more people, the Yellow Turban Army will pour out, and Yingchuan City may not be able to accept it.

Zhou Yin had no choice but to convene his subordinates and held a military meeting, first of all, Zhou Yin said, he calculated, if there are 50,000 Yellow Turban troops outside, Zhang Mancheng will definitely not hesitate to launch a strong attack, and then Yingchuan City will be difficult to protect, and the Yellow Turban Army wants as many as 50,000 people, and it will only take a month at most to attract all the surrounding Yellow Turban Army.

So Zhou Yin thought that if they wanted to break the yellow scarf, they could only break it in this month.

Zhou Yin and his subordinates were discussing a lot, but they never found a way, but at this moment, Cao Xuan slowly got up, Cao Xuan glanced at everyone, and then said to Zhou Yin: "Lord Taishou, I have thought of a way to break the enemy!" ”

Zhou Yin's eyes lit up, and then he said: "General Cao, if you have any strategy to break the enemy, please tell me quickly!" ”

However, Cao Xing looked at everyone and smiled mysteriously and said: "If Taishou can trust me, in this month's time, even if he is good at defending Yingchuan City, I can do the rest, and the Yellow Turban Army will be self-defeating!" ”

Hearing Cao Xing's words, many generals in the rumor shook their heads one after another, what kind of doctrine is Cao Xing's play, it is mysterious, and in the end it is equivalent to saying nothing.

Zhou Yin was also a little suspicious, but when he saw Cao Xuan's determined eyes, he thought for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded to Cao Xuan and said, "General Cao, I believe in you, since you want a month, then I will give you a month!" ”

The words have been said to this point, there is no need for this meeting, Cao Xing arched his hand and retired, and after Cao Xing left, almost all the generals under Zhou Yin were about to explode, and many people told Zhou Yin that what Cao Xing said was too mysterious and miraculous, and there was no basis at all, and Cao Xing's words must not be believed, if you really do what Cao Xuan said, Yingchuan will be broken sooner or later.

Although Zhou Yin was a little swaying after listening to the advice of his subordinates, he finally shook his sleeves and said: "Don't say much, everyone, war is originally a gamble, I believe that Cao Xing is a person, let's disperse!" ”

In other words, Zhou Yin's side launched a military meeting, and Zhang Mancheng's side was not idle, and at this moment, a banquet was held in Zhang Mancheng's battle, and his two generals, Guan Hai and Gong Du, were entertained.

At the banquet, Guan Hai's first glass of wine entered Zhang Mancheng's, after all, Zhang Mancheng was his handsome, and Zhang Mancheng was also very happy, he drank a glass with Guan Hai with a wine glass, Zhang Mancheng was also very comfortable in his heart, with Guan Hai, a general, fighting this kind of thing is really twice the result with half the effort.

And Gong Du, who was sitting on the other side, knew that his ability was mediocre, but he was not ambiguous, and immediately raised his wine glass and entered Zhang Mancheng's glass.

"The marshal is wise and martial, today the Han army was killed by us and lost its armor, it is really enjoyable in my heart, it all depends on your command, I believe that we only need to use a month to break through Yingchuan City, and then the money, food, and women in it will be ours!"

In the face of Gong Du's sycophancy, Zhang Mancheng also accepted it calmly and drank all the wine in the wine glass, but after drinking this glass of wine, Zhang Mancheng looked at his two subordinates and said with a smile.

"I told you before, we must now defend strongly, surround Yingchuan City to the death, and not let go of a single Han army, and I have sent an invitation to the surrounding marshals to bring soldiers and horses to come together, so that within a month we will gather a large army, and the day will be waiting for the day to break through Yingchuan! But I've changed my mind now! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Mancheng glanced at Gong Du and Guan Hai, Gong Du and Guan Hai both had some suspicion in their eyes, but Gong Du still asked: "Dashuai, I don't know what kind of tricks you have!" ”

Zhang Mancheng said with a smile: "If we wait for the people from other tribes to come and attack Yingchuan City with us, they will also rob a lot of the materials inside, rather than let them rob, it is better for us to take all of them ourselves, so in my opinion, in less than a month, we will break it!" ”

……

A few days passed in a flash, and the past few days were very calm, Zhou Yin took Cao Xing's suggestion, just simply defending and not attacking, and Zhang Mancheng didn't have much action on his side, and the strategy they adopted for Yingchuan City was to surround but not fight.

But even so, there was some civil strife in Yingchuan City, and I don't know who spread rumors on the streets, saying that the officers and soldiers of Yingchuan City wanted to collect food from the people.

It is this sentence that spread to the ears of all the people in Yingchuan City, these people are panicked, now is the time of war, everyone dragged their families to escape, and only brought a little dry food that can barely make ends meet, if it is given to the official army, their family will not starve to death, so many people have stood up and asked the Taishou to open the city gate and they want to go out.

Zhou Yin was a relatively good Taishou, providing a unified refuge for the people, gathering everyone in one place, but it was precisely because of this that many people gathered together, they listened to the rumors, began to protest collectively, and the officers and soldiers went to maintain order, and some people had physical conflicts, which then turned into rivers of blood, when Zhou Yin and Cao Xing arrived here, they found that many officers and soldiers and civilians had been injured.

Zhou Yin and Cao Xing immediately led people to stop the source of the conflict, so that everyone's emotions were relieved, and then Zhou Yin found a doctor to treat the injured people and officers and soldiers on the spot.

However, after solving all this, Cao He and Zhou Yin sat together, Zhou Yin sighed helplessly, and asked Cao Xing: "General Cao, all this is undoubtedly done by the Yellow Turban Army outside, he let us have civil strife in Yingchuan City, so that he can better break through, now what should we do!" ”

Hearing this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth, and he looked out of the city, I have to say that this Zhang Mancheng is not only careful in his work, cautious in fighting, but also extremely meticulous in his thoughts, and he found the loophole in Yingchuan City so quickly, but Cao Xing could only laugh twice about this.

That night, a somewhat obscene-looking Yellow Turban Army entered Zhang Mancheng's camp, Zhang Mancheng's military tent seemed to be blocked by a partition, and the outer part was naturally used by him to discuss official affairs, and the inner part was used to rest.

I only heard the soldier who looked a little obscene, laughed twice, and then said to Zhang Mancheng: "The big marshal is really wise and powerful, today the little one has been eavesdropping outside, although I can't know exactly what happened in the city, but I heard it, the chaos in Yingchuan City has become a mess, it is estimated that many people have been fighting with the officers and soldiers at this moment, the casualties are unknown, Yingchuan has now begun to disintegrate internally, it is estimated that the big marshal wants to capture Yingchuan, That's just a matter of time! ”

"Good!" Zhang Mancheng was overjoyed in his heart, he was indeed different from other Yellow Turban Army, and even at some times, he boasted of being superior, if you ask why, just because he was cautious in fighting, and he had also read some military books, before attacking Yingchuan County, he sent a few of his right-hand men to infiltrate Yingchuan County, and the civil strife in Yingchuan City was naturally caused by his subordinates.

This time in the confrontation with Cao Xing and others, it was Zhang Mancheng who won again, Zhang Mancheng was naturally very happy in his heart, plus the soldier in front of him could indeed speak, Zhang Mancheng was even happier in his heart, and waved his hand: "You did a good job, go down and get a reward of 100 Wen!" ”

When the soldier heard this, he was even more happy, jumping and jumping and running out, and Zhang Mancheng looked at the back of the soldier leaving, and he was still recalling in his mind what the soldier said just now, which really made his heart feel comfortable.

After Zhang Jiao's death, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated everywhere, and only Zhang Mancheng won some battles, so Zhang Mancheng thought that he was the mainstay of the Yellow Turban Army.
