On the first day of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

"Qu Shuai!" On the morning of this day, in the main village of the rear army camp of the Yellow Turban Army, Cheng Yuanzhi, who had just finished breakfast, was discussing the military situation with the 'little marshal' and 'deputy marshal' at all levels, when suddenly, an ordinary soldier wrapped in a yellow turban broke in in a panic. "The Han soldiers just sent people to sweep the left front camp again!"

In the big tent, a group of handsome people changed color when they heard the words, and without waiting for Cheng Yuanzhi to speak, they inquired:

"Who's coming this time?"

"Why is this the case, the early morning does not make people live in peace!"

"Is it red-faced or white-faced?"

"White horse rider or mixed horse?"

"How many strands are coming?"

"Did you sweep into any of us?"

"There are a lot of Yuyang brothers in the left camp, but which acquaintance of mine have you killed?"

In other words, among a series of problems, the biggest problem of the Yellow Turban Army has also been exposed, these people who were Taoists, Haoqiang, rangers, and peasants before really don't understand military affairs!

Holding such a top-level military meeting that is a matter of life and death, let a small soldier break in directly, and open his mouth to reveal the military situation? Then a group of handsome people didn't pay attention to the 'Qu Shuai' Cheng Yuanzhi, and they were able to bypass the coach and have a small meeting here directly? !

This is not to say that they do not respect Cheng Yuanzhi's authority, the latter is a disciple of the great sage and good teacher, and he was the generous and handsome of Guangyang Taiping Dao many years ago, how could they not respect him?

In fact, Cheng Yuanzhi listened to it for a while, and after shouting, the tent quickly became quiet.

However, another question is, why didn't Cheng Yuanzhi call these people at the beginning to maintain order? Because he also has no military experience and literacy, he instinctively feels that this is wrong, but he doesn't know what to do.

The Yellow Turban Marshal was in his forties, with a swarthy complexion, vulgar language, and rude behavior, looking like an old peasant. But in fact, his home is a very famous and powerful family in Guangyang, and it has always been a bit majestic. However, when his father's generation, probably because of his excessive prestige, he was hit once by a certain Guangyang Taishou as a political achievement, his father was beheaded, half of the family property was confiscated, and then the three Cheng Yuanzhi brothers were all fined and sentenced to Chengdan, and they stayed up for six years before they were released.

After the punishment was over, Cheng Yuanzhi wanted to live in peace, and no longer learn from his father's prestige. But suddenly a great epidemic struck, and the two younger brothers all died of illness, but he was the only one who survived 'because he drank the talisman water of the great sage and good teacher', so he completely changed his mind, almost donated his family and gave up his property, and only ran for the great sage and good teacher to serve his life.

Such a person, the best thing is to talk about the "Taiping Sutra", the second best is to do the ability to dig ditches that Chengdan has practiced over the years, and his favorite is to make runes...... However, he has always been a little deficient in this skill, so that many people who drank the water he made made still died quickly.

But no matter what, he really can't lead troops, and he won't lead troops if he is a marshal!

"Don't shout, don't talk in a lump of words." Cheng Yuanzhi sat on a captain's chair and stretched out his hand to the intruder. "Reporter, you say first, what happened this time before?!"

There was an immediate silence in the tent.

"This time it's the one with a red face and a long beard, and a knife on his back." The Yellow Turban replied with a bitter face. "I still brought twenty people here, and I wanted to go back after killing twenty of us at the beginning, but Wang Bing and Wang Xiaoshuai of Yuyang because his younger brother was killed by this red-faced giant man last time, so this time he borrowed seven or eight crossbows in advance, and waited at the Qianying intersection early, and when the red-faced giant man brought people back, he suddenly released arrows......"

"No wonder Wang Bing is not here." Someone didn't hold back for a while.

"What are you talking about, all you said was that you shot that red-faced giant?!" Someone else interjected and asked.

"I shot the giant man, but the giant man was wearing iron armor and was not injured, but the four Han soldiers fell off their horses on the spot." At this point, the face of the yellow turban soldier who reported the news became more and more ugly. "Three of the four Han soldiers died on the spot, but one fell to the ground and shouted, 'Will the general abandon me?' As a result, the giant man turned around, squinted his eyes and took his big knife, and took advantage of Wang Xiaoshuai's lack of time to open the second crossbow, rushed directly to him, cut Xiaoshuai from his shoulder to his waist, and cut the whole person in half, and the blood flowed half of the camp...... Then he snatched those crossbows, rescued the Han army, and then returned to the city! ”

After the Yellow Turban finished speaking, he left directly, and this time, there was silence in the military tent for a long time.

However, no matter how long he was quiet, he had to speak again, Cheng Yuanzhi, who was sitting at the top of the middle, held the handle of the Taiwei chair with both hands, lowered his head and thought for a long time, but he could only raise his head and ask: "Let's talk about it, isn't it just to ask about this when you call the big guy?" More than a dozen trips a day, twenty people a trip, I can't hold it at all! ”

Where do the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army know what to say?

"Everyone is a little marshal recognized by the general of the earth, what if you don't speak? Vice Marshal Zhang, you are the oldest, tell me about it. In desperation, Cheng Yuanzhi had no choice but to name him.

Vice Marshal Zhang, who is almost fifty years old this year, looked at Cheng Yuanzhi in a daze when he heard this, and he was helpless.

In other words, this Deputy Marshal Zhang really doesn't want to speak, and even he doesn't want to rebel!

He was originally a big family in Anci City, Guangyang County, and he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but he was so old again...... It's almost fifty, and in this year, the standard is considered to be the ultimate decay, and there is really no pursuit. However, who let Deng Mao, the county lieutenant of Na'anci County, suddenly gather the county's Haoyou, big households, and rangers to rebel together ten days ago? !

The knife is hanging there, not thinking about your own life, but also thinking about your own seventeen-year-old baby son, right? The latter wandered all day long, entangled with those rangers, and Deng Mao got into trouble in the county that day, and this guy actually followed the first to kill someone...... What if you don't follow it?

So, Deputy Marshal Zhang became a Yellow Turban thief, and then because of his age, he was pushed by Deng Mao to be a leader, and finally accepted by the Yellow Turban Army as a deputy marshal.

And now that Qu Shuai Cheng Yuanzhi asked him to speak, he could only speak.

"That's not going to work." Deputy Marshal Zhang also put on a sad face. "I've counted, the night of the twenty-sixth we set up camp is not counted, and today is not counted, but it is twenty-seven or twenty-eight days, and the Han army has come fifty or sixty times each time, each time it is twenty or thirty people, and if they kill someone, they will leave, and at the end of the rough calculation, there have been seven or eight hundred dead and wounded, but the Han army has only killed a few dozen people...... But if you want me to say, the key is not the dead people, and the death of some mud legs may not be the case, we have an army of 30,000! But they came every day, kept coming, and all the people up and down the barracks were in a state of panic, they couldn't eat, they couldn't sleep, they couldn't sleep, they were terrified when they walked, and they couldn't do anything! Just like Cheng Shuai said, it's not a matter for him to go on like this, if he really comes for another three or five days, maybe the city officials will ...... The Han army in the city has accumulated enough manpower and raised enough spirits, and then suddenly tens of thousands of people will follow these cavalry to kill together, and we will lose the battle! ”

Everyone nodded one after another, saying that Deputy Marshal Zhang was on the point, and Cheng Yuanzhi also nodded...... However, after the latter nodded, he found that the other party didn't seem to say anything?

It's awesome, too!

Of course, the really powerful ones are the cavalry of the Han Army, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, not the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army who will only hide in the rear army camp, or even Gongsun Xun...... Don't look at Gongsun Taishou's confidence that day, standing on the head of the city with a wave of his hand, what ten days to break the enemy, what seven or eight days to break the enemy, as if turning over the hand can make this little 30,000 yellow scarves surrender directly, and as if the courage of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is not worth mentioning in front of his Gongsun Taishou's strategy.

But in fact, but in the final analysis, his so-called 'strategy' is precisely to rely on the courage of Guan Yu and others.

Gongsun Xun noticed at that time that the Yellow Turban Army's military literacy was extremely poor, and it was clear that they had thousands of cavalry because of the participation of rangers and heroes, but they didn't understand the centralized use. Moreover, there is no particularly effective means of military response between them, and the distribution of camps is also chaotic. What's more, they also lack real strong warriors...... This allowed Guan Yunchang to lead the twenty Youzhou rangers who had just enlisted in the army to come and go freely as if they had entered a no-man's land.

What does this mean? This shows that the Yellow Turban Army is simply unable to cope with the assault of such a small elite cavalry!

In this case, why can't Gongsun Xun let Guan Yu run a few more times?

In addition, Zhang Fei also asked him to take twenty people to run a few times a day!

Then Han Dang, who was skilled in arching horses, grew up under the Yin Mountain and was naturally good at this tactic, as well as Liu Bei, who was already the leader of the rangers, and Yang Kai, who was carefully cultivated by Gongsun Auntie since childhood, and was accustomed to taking a small group of cavalry to deal with the Zahu troops at the beginning...... Let them all go!

More than 1,200 local rangers with horses and spears in Youzhou were selected from the best, and 400 were selected, divided into 20 teams, each team of 20 people, and took turns to follow these powerful generals out to sweep!

There is no deliberate tactical goal, which is to kill, bring back ten heads to pass, and twenty or more are extra rewarded!

Money, military positions, officials, and even beautiful maids can be rewarded!

Didn't these rangers just enlist in the army and weren't good at fighting in large groups? Then let them fight in their favorite way!

What can you do with the Yellow Turbans? The infantry couldn't catch up, and the small group of cavalry didn't dare to face these powerful generals at all, so they could only be beaten passively.

And if the Yellow Turban Army has been passively beaten and helpless, then don't blame the morale of the army for declining. After seven or eight consecutive days, Gongsun Xun had enough confidence to pull out the recruits who had just been recruited, and even the prisoners who were forced to defend the city, and let them use wooden poles to hold the iron spearheads that had just been cast, and come to a wave of Banzai charge!

The small skills of carving insects may not be useless, and there may not be a solution.

Sure enough, in the back account of the Yellow Turban Army, everyone talked about it, but they still got nothing, and Cheng Yuanzhi became more and more anxious.

"Why don't you ask General Digong to send some Yellow Turban wrestlers? Didn't you say that those Yellow Turban wrestlers would be invulnerable after drinking talisman water? One of them suddenly asked seriously.

Everyone nodded their heads with hope, but Cheng Yuanzhi immediately shook his head, and became even more irritable...... Are you kidding? Not to mention that Fu Shui can only cure diseases, where can it be invulnerable? is really a yellow turban wrestler, and he Cheng Yuanzhi has no face to please!

"You must not ask for the support of the general of the earth!" At this moment, a person who had never spoken also suddenly opened his mouth, and he was full of words. "General Digong is from Jizhou, we are all from Youzhou, this is only two and a half days under the city to ask for reinforcements, I know that I naturally know the strength of the leaders of the Han army in front of me, and I don't know that we Youzhou people are all waste...... If we ask for support this time, what will we do if General Digong looks down on us Youzhou people in the future? Huang Tian stood up, and the officials were only sealed to Jizhou people, what should I do? ! ”

"There's a sense of truth to that." Cheng Yuanzhi moved uneasily in the captain's chair. "Besides, it's not that bad...... After all, this time, General Digong asked us to come to Zhuo County, not to let us attack the city, but just to let us see this new Zhuojun Taishou Gongsun Xun don't want him to rescue Fan Yang, and when General Digong leads 50,000 troops to break Fan Yang, he will come to join forces with us...... By then, we will have 80,000, and maybe even 100,000...... An army of 100,000 is besieging the city, what else can't be eaten?! Difficulties are temporary, don't feel like the sky is falling because of such trivial things. ”

When everyone in the tent heard this, they were all shocked...... Ten days ago, they couldn't believe what an army of 10,000 looked like, and then suddenly there were 30,000 troops, and in a few days there would be 100,000 troops...... What does this mean? This shows that Huang Tian will be erected after all, and as the leader of the Yellow Turban Army under Huang Tian, sooner or later he will have to be a Taishou and a county commander.

Even so, it really can't be easy to ask for reinforcements, and the province is looked down upon by Jizhou.

But...... If you can't solve the trouble in front of you, I'm afraid you can't do it, right?

"Vice Marshal Deng." Cheng Yuanzhi looked at the person who spoke just now with a little hope. "You used to be a county lieutenant, and you have the most knowledge in our army, tell me, how can you hold on?"

"I do have an idea." The person before, that is, Deng Mao, the former county lieutenant of Anci, sat with his chest and belly protruding when he heard the words, and he was actually waiting here. "But I'm afraid that you little marshals won't be happy!"

"Hurry up!" Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't help but urge. "It's a matter of the big picture, where is anyone who is happy and unhappy?"

Deng Mao glanced at these people in the account expressionlessly, and then turned his head to Cheng Yuanzhi and offered his strategy: "My method is actually very simple, just put all the cavalry in our army together and hand it over to me to use it uniformly!" ”

The crowd was either puzzled or hesitant.

"You think." Deng Mao said to everyone, but he just explained seriously to Cheng Yuanzhi. "Didn't the Han army just rely on the cavalry to come and go like the wind, and then fight in small units and be powerful? Then let's put the cavalry in our hands together, and when the Han army comes out, don't care how many ways he comes, and which city gate he comes from, I will only intercept the deepest one of them, and rush over with thousands of cavalry, shooting arrows and spears, just twenty people, drowning can drown them! If you can kill two or three shares in a row, I'm afraid that the Han army in the city won't dare to come out, right? ”

Cheng Yuanzhi thought about it carefully, and then slapped the chair handle suddenly, but pointed his finger at the rest of the little handsome in the tent: "I won't hide it from you, I don't know how this method is, but Deputy Marshal Deng is the only one who has an idea at this time, if you don't have any other way, you have to do it for me!" Whoever hides his cavalry and is unwilling to hand it over is disloyal to the Heavenly General! Whose sin am I going to punish, do you understand?! ”

Everyone looked at each other, although they knew better in their hearts that Deng Mao wanted the cavalry in everyone's hands, but after all, they didn't dare to say more, so they could only get up and reluctantly agree.

Deng Mao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the general trend had been decided, if these more than 1,000 cavalry were all in his hands, where could he go?

So, he immediately got up and patted his chest at Cheng Yuanzhi: "Cheng Shuai, don't worry, this thousand cavalry gave me a ...... in the morning Whoever is red-faced and white-faced, with a long beard and a beard, will bring one back for you today. ”

Cheng Yuanzhi also nodded with satisfaction...... I still want this momentum!

And just when Cheng Dashuai was about to say two words of encouragement, a breathless yellow turban soldier suddenly broke into the military tent, attracting everyone's sideways.

"Qu Shuai!" This yellow scarf pawn is just like the one before, still pale in the face. "The Han army came to sweep again, this time it was the bearded man, the son of Vice Marshal Zhang, who was the righteous brother of Vice Marshal Deng, who couldn't look past it, and gathered fifty cavalry to stop it, but was poked to death by someone with a spear!"

There was a moment of silence in the military tent.

—————I'm a dividing line in a trance—————

"Taizu fought the Yellow Turban in Zhuo County. There are more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the Yellow Turbans, riding thousands of horses. Taizu is the elite generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Han Dang, Zhao Zhao, Wei Yue, Yang Kai, etc., each dozens of horses galloped through the Yellow Turban Army formation, and they were all beheaded in one day or three or four. After several days of fighting, the yellow scarves gradually tired. —The Dictionary. Yan. Pei Song's note
