Chapter 69: Cao Cao's Advice

Once the strategic deployment has been determined, the next step is to arrange manpower to hide in batches.

Because the Yellow Turban Army will coerce a large number of people in every battle, the difference between its real combat power and its strength on paper is still quite large, and most of the people coerced each time are locals, so when they set up camps, they are mostly close to the people's villages.

Such a deployment gave Su Xiu the opportunity to sneak in in batches, and it would feel very abrupt to suddenly stuff 20,000 people into one or two ordinary villages, but if it was ten or eight, and it was the kind of overcrowded village, it would not be so conspicuous.

The men and horses arranged by Su Xiu sneaked into the vicinity of the camp and were not discovered at all, except that Su Xiu's arrangement was really not very conspicuous, mainly because Bo Cai never thought that the officers and soldiers would dare to sneak attack the camp of the 100,000 army, after all, in Bo Cai's eyes, in addition to the 3,000 cavalry, there were only 10,000 remnants in the city, and they had no ability to attack the Yellow Turban Battalion with 100,000 people.

Su Xiu and Xi Zhicai also dressed up, and at this moment they were standing on a small dirt slope five miles away from the Yellow Turban Army camp, looking at the Yellow Turban camp.

"Lord, I have to say, this wave is indeed a little talented, you look at the layout of this camp, although it is not particularly exquisite, but it is completely in line with the art of war, the terrain is open, although there is no danger on both sides, but it is heavily defended, the front is low and the back is high, and a considerable number of spurs are also placed in front of the camp, the arrow towers on both sides have a wide line of sight, it is easy to find the enemy who is close in the distance, and they are horns of each other, and there are not many estimates that are stronger than him in Mount Tai, and it is also Yu Duwei and He Wang, others should not have this ability now."

"Well, it's really good, but it's a pity, this person is Zhang Jiao's henchman, and as a party commander, whether it is wisdom and strategy or battlefield command, he is a good talent, and he is destined not to be used by me, otherwise he will be able to contribute to the current Mount Tai."

"The lord doesn't need to worry, although this person is not bad, but after all, he can't stand alone, it should be a lack of experience in the battle, otherwise we can't lurk in the 20,000 horses so smoothly, if this goes well, Bo Cai will be greatly injured, and it is not impossible to persuade him to surrender."

"Oh? Zhicai has a way to persuade Bocai? Su Xiu was very surprised, in his impression, Bo was the kind of person who was loyal to Zhang Jiao, even after the defeat of the army, he resisted desperately, and finally fought to the death. How can such a person be persuaded to surrender?

"It's not that there is a way, it's just that people have weaknesses, and if you can find them, you will have a chance."

"Well, that's right, the underbelly? I don't know much about this person, but this person is a bit stupid, and I may be able to find a solution from here. No matter what, let's talk about it after catching Bo alive first, it's too early to say this. ”

After today's investigation, Su Xiu found that it was a little different from the history he was familiar with, and it was recorded in the history books that Bocai surrounded Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun in Changshe, and camped with grass, and finally because the wind blew in the middle of the night, Huangfu Song attacked with fire that led to the defeat of Bocai, and finally defeated Yang Zhai.

But what Su Xiu saw today was not grassland, it was because his appearance changed history or Bo had other plans, which really can't be said, but Su Xiu was full of confidence in today's sneak attack, first, because he had confidence in the Taishan army led by himself, and secondly, his main purpose today was to destroy the grain and grass, not short-handed combat.

The nights at the beginning of April weren't so cold, but after all, it was late spring and early summer, and the temperature at Chosha wasn't that high.

Tonight, the clouds covered the moon, and there were even few stars, if the assembly location had not been decided in advance, Su Xiu would have doubted that his soldiers would have touched the wrong place because it was too dark.

At the second watch, Zhang Fei and Yu Ban also arrived at the meeting place on time.

"Lord, when will you attack, I will be the vanguard for a while." As soon as Zhang Fei came up, he yelled urgently.

"Shhhh It's good to use your brains, we may not be able to get any benefit by rushing over like this now. ”

Yu Ban has not dealt with Zhang Fei in the past two years, and he has been beaten by Zhang Fei every time his nose and face is swollen, for Zhang Fei, he really can't show his usual good temper, if he can have a place to ridicule Zhang Fei, Yu Ban will definitely be very happy, what if he can't beat you, he still scolds you without discussion.

"Huh? You're itchy again, aren't you? Come on, come on, I'll give you a good relaxation. Zhang Fei saw that Yu Ban began to scold him again, so he rolled up his sleeves and said to Yu Ban.

"Okay, Yide, don't mess around, now you're in the army, and you want to eat my military stick? In front of the two armies, how can you be allowed to play! Usually you don't care about messing around, but if it's still like this in the army, be careful that my military law is merciless. ”

After scolding Zhang Fei, Su Xiu began to deploy his battle plan: "After a while, Wen took the wolf's tooth battalion around the Yellow Turban camp, set fire to the grain and grass at the fourth watch, and then quickly evacuated. The opponent is attacked on both sides, and the flank rescue will definitely be mobilized under the unknown situation, and after your side is safely evacuated, you will wait for the opportunity to act from the flank, not seeking to kill the enemy, as long as you create chaos, the more chaotic the better. As long as Bocai can't figure out the specific number of our fighters, he will have scruples in his heart and will definitely not dare to give it a go, and we will be able to achieve the greatest results with the least losses. ”

"No!"

"Huh? Why wait so long, my lord, I don't think we can't beat it, let the brothers follow me for a while, why bother so much? Zhang Fei said reluctantly.

"Yide, you are indeed one of the few brave men in the world, but if you do not care about the lives of your brothers, then you will never be truly loved by them. Do you know why you've been here for two years and I haven't given you an official position? Everyone in my Taishan army is the same, everyone has their own relatives, your martial arts are better just to make it easier for you to make achievements, so that you are more likely to survive in danger, but this does not mean that you can let yourself be happy and ignore the lives of your brothers. ”

"Yide, I know you didn't want to let your brothers die innocently, but if we can reduce the casualties of the soldiers in a more secure way, we can't do it brutely. The fourth watch is the time when people are most likely to get sleepy, and it is also the time when people in their sleep sleep the deepest, so that it can make it easier for brothers to survive in battle, you know? ”

After Su Xiu recruited Zhang Fei, he kept him in the barracks, although he often stayed by his side, but he did not give him an official position, which once made the men in the barracks very puzzled, and they didn't understand what it meant for the county guard to find a person who was worth the force against the sky but let him be a big soldier.

Zhang Fei has never cared, in his opinion, as long as there is a fight, as long as he is happy, he really doesn't care much about whether he is an official or not.

But Su Xiu knew very well that Zhang Fei was a soldier who died under his own command in history, and the reason was because he was usually 'violent and unkind'. Since he has allowed himself to get this peerless warrior in this life, he can't let him die like this again. He wants Zhang Fei to understand the difficulties of soldiers, and hopes that his life as a soldier in the past two years can make him change.

"Understood, lord, I was wrong, I listened to you." Zhang Fei is not stupid, it's just that he doesn't want to use his brain to think about things, so he doesn't think so much for a while.

"Okay, let's get ready, let's go."
