Chapter 89: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

Although Su Xiu has already told Yu Ban about the general direction, how to arrange this tactic, coupled with the fact that the four gates of Guangzong are now closed, how to implement this tactic, these problems make Cao Cao and Yu Ban feel a headache.

At this moment, Wang Hui, who came to Guangzong with Yu Ban, walked into Yu Ban's ear and whispered some words. This is the privilege that Cao Cao gave to the Taishan army, but for all Taishan military affairs, Taishan officers can be directly recorded and informed by Yu Ban without reporting.

Yu Ban did not hide it from Cao Cao, and said to Cao Cao with a little excitement: "General Cao, maybe my family's plan can be realized." ”

So Yu Ban brought the news and plate brought by Wang Hui to Cao Cao: It turned out that last month, there was a Yellow Turban Army of about 1,000 people outside Guangzong City, and they never confronted the official army head-on, but always wandered outside Guangzong City, harassing the official army from time to time, and occasionally robbing the small grain and grass troops of the official army.

According to Su Xiu's letter to Yu Ban, Yu Ban guessed that this yellow scarf was likely to be the remnants of Li Damu who had fled from Jinan. No matter in terms of time and quantity, this Yellow Turban Army is very similar to what Su Xiu described.

If it was really Li Damu, then their purpose was very clear, they had too few vertical directions, and they wanted to enter the city and join Zhang Jiao, but because the official army blocked the water of Guangzongwei, they could not break through and enter the city. If they make good use of it, it is very likely that this Li Damu will become the focus of their fighter planes.

"Brother Wen Ze, what is your opinion?" Cao Cao asked.

"General Cao, I think so, why did Zhang Jiao close the four gates, it was nothing more than that he was scared by Lord Lu before, if Zhang Jiao knew that Lord Lu had been escorted into Beijing and was ready to be beheaded, what do you say he would do?"

"Are you saying that while the morale of our army is fluctuating, take the opportunity to break through and even eat us with a backhand?"

"Exactly, Zhang Jiao does have some ability, and he is also excellent in the use of troops, if this news really spreads to Guangzong City, he should not let go of this opportunity, if he waits until the successor commander arrives and re-stabilizes the morale of the army, he may not be able to break through, so this will be his chance."

"So how do we get the news to Zhang Jiao? We're not going to tell him, are we? ”

"So we need someone to deliver the news for us, and this person has to be someone that Zhang Jiao absolutely trusts."

"You mean...... Li Damu? ”

"Yes, that's him! We need to put on a good show for Li Damu to see. Just now, Captain Wang came to tell me that Li Damu seems to be short of food again, and now he is peeking at us not far from our camp. All we have to do is this, and he shouldn't give up the opportunity to go into town. ”

……

The one who wandered outside Cao Cao's camp was indeed Li Damu. He originally wanted to repay Zhang Jiao's favor with death after disbanding the Yellow Turban troops, but under the persuasion of his subordinates who did not surrender, he decided to lead the less than 1,000 people around him to disperse and break through, and get rid of the encirclement of the Taishan Army and the Jinan Army from all unconventional marching routes such as mountain streams and dense forests.

After regrouping this part of the people, Li Damu decided to go to Guangzong to support Zhang Jiao, after all, the close to eight hundred yellow turban willers around him still have a nearly complete establishment, because he was defeated too quickly, after learning that he and Taishan's equipment gap, he simply did not let this trump card fight, after all, even if these hundreds of people are sent out, it is only a few hundred more heads for the Taishan army, good steel has to be used to life, not in a desperate situation, he does not want to lose this last hole card.

And now Zhang Jiao's situation is not very good, if he can bring these people back to Zhang Jiao, he may be able to play the biggest role. Therefore, Li Damu has been wandering outside Guangzong City for almost a month looking for an opportunity to enter the city, but the official army is too tightly surrounded, and he has not found the slightest opportunity.

But after all, this was the only support for him to survive, and he did not give up, so he kept trying to find a weak point, tearing a hole and killing into the city. So today he came to the camp outside the north camp of the city - that is, Cao Cao's camp.

Originally, Li Damu had lost hope today, but when he was about to leave, he saw a commotion in the camp in the north of the city. From afar, he could hear the noise in the barracks.

"Lord Lu worked hard to quell the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, but because a few greedy eunuchs were going to be beheaded, we are not convinced, brothers, Lord Lu treats us well on weekdays, can you bear to let Lord Lu die unjustly?"

"I don't want to!" "I don't want to!" "Go for Lord Lu's grievances!" "It's not that Lord Lu will lead the army and stop fighting, whoever likes to fight will fight!" ……

Seeing that the camp in the north of the city was about to mutiny, suddenly a group of soldiers armed with bows and arrows surrounded this group of officers and soldiers, but this did not suppress the situation, but aroused the fierce resistance of the besieged officers and soldiers, and the two sides fought, and suddenly there were wails in the barracks, and many soldiers fell to the ground.

"Dashuai, chance!"

"Brothers, the Great Sage and Good Master are still suffering in Guangzong City, and now the opportunity has come, everyone will go into the city with me and help the Great Sage and Good Master break through! Come on! ”

"Ahh Enemy attack! ”

The military camp that was already in the mutiny became even more chaotic because of Li Damu's 'sudden' appearance, and suddenly the official army was really a mess, and Li Damu did not dare to entangle too much with the official army, and immediately killed the city after breaking through the blockade, and hurriedly entered the city after getting in touch with the yellow turbans defending the city.

Cao Cao's tent

"Brother Wen Ze, how many days will it take for Pindi to arrive?" Cao Cao gave Yu Ban an inquiring look.

"If nothing else, we will be able to arrive in Guangzong at noon tomorrow at the latest."

"Tomorrow at noon? It's a little slower, let's let Li Damu enter the city tonight, if I expect it to be good, Zhang Jiao is likely to break through from the north of the city in the second half of the night, and our troops are not enough to annihilate him outside the city, so we can only force him back to the city, which is not a good thing for us. ”

"General Cao, do you remember how we won the battle of Yangzhai?" Yu Ban asked.

"The Battle of Yangzhai? Of course, I remember that it was all up to the Taishan army to infiltrate Yang Zhai to open the city gate and assist the army outside the city to break the city in one fell swoop, but this Guangzong City and Yang Zhai are different after all, and we have no inner ...... Well? Yang Zhai, you mean? Cao Cao seemed to have realized something, and looked at Yu Ban.

"My family often says that opportunities are earned by themselves, and waiting is the best way to do it. If General Cao were replaced by Zhang Jiao, would you choose to break through tonight? ”

"Of course, since Li Damu has entered the city to give Zhang Jiao information, the commander of our army has been replaced, the army has mutinied, and the people's hearts are unstable, if he doesn't take this opportunity to break through, then when the army's morale stabilizes in the future, he will have no chance to break through, so the breakthrough must be as fast as possible, and the biggest possibility is tonight."

"This Guangzong City is one of the granaries operated by Zhang Jiao, if it is besieged for a long time, we may not be able to besiege Zhang Jiao to death when we run out of grain and grass, and after Zhang Jiao has been operated for a long time in the city, we have no way to break it from the inside, so if he leads his troops to break through tonight, we have the opportunity to arrange people to enter the city, and when the time comes, we can break the city in one fell swoop."

Hearing what Yu Ban said, Cao Cao already roughly understood Yu Ban's thoughts in his heart, and he was full of emotion in his heart, it was indeed a pity that such a talent could not be used for himself. However, this person is not necessarily a bad thing under Su Xiu's account, at least not an enemy.

The mutiny at dusk was actually just a scene for Li Damu to see, since the strategy discussed by Cao Cao and Yu Ban was to lure the snake out of the hole, how to smoothly let Li Damu get the news of the official army and successfully break through, and successfully deceived Zhang Jiao, thinking about it, he could only tell him that through such an explanation, Zhang Jiao would definitely not doubt the authenticity of the news.
