34 Cheng Yu came
In Changshe City, after several wars, there are very few combatants, and compared with the Yellow Turbans, there is a huge disparity in number, and many soldiers in the army are afraid, and even the generals and colonels in the big tent are a little panicked.
Huangfu Song comforted them, "The use of troops lies in strategy, not in quantity." Now the thieves camp on the grass, and it is easy for the wind to catch fire. If they set fire to it in the dark, they would be terrified and scattered. ”
Zhu Jun nodded, "It's the northwest wind tonight." ”
Huangfu Song nodded, "We will take the opportunity to send troops tonight, first set fire, and then surround on all sides." When it comes to arson, which general is willing to take the military order? ”
A middle-aged strong man behind Zhu Jun stepped out, "Jiangdong Sun Wentai is willing to receive the military order." ”
Huangfu Song nodded, "The others and I will wait for the fire to start at night and kill together." ”
Zhang He watched from the sidelines, without the slightest intention of charging into battle, he and his subordinates were waiting for Cheng Yun to say that Huangfu Song would go north and exert another force.
Heaven fulfilled the wish, and that night a strong wind suddenly rose. Huangfu Song ordered the soldiers to tie torches and climb the city wall, first sent Sun Jian and other troops to sneak out of the enclosure, set fire to the fire, and then lit torches on the city to echo it.
Huangfu Song took advantage of this momentum and rushed out with drums. The Yellow Turban Army, lacking combat experience, panicked and was forced to retreat.
"The yellow turban dog thief is gone, take your life!"
Cao Cao, the cavalry captain, also came with his soldiers at this time, so Huangfu Song, Cao Cao, and Zhu Jun joined forces and pursued the victory.
The Yellow Turban Army resisted stubbornly, tens of thousands of people were slaughtered, and the Bocai Army retreated and garrisoned Yangzhai.
Huangfu Song praised Sun Jian, who took the lead, and Cao Cao, who supported him in time, and planned the next battle plan, and Cao Cao saw Zhang He, who looked like he didn't care about himself, in the big tent, so he went up.
Zhang He was napping, felt the gaze of his eyes, and opened his eyes, it turned out to be Cao Cao.
"I've seen General Cao." Zhang He saluted, his official position was not smaller than Cao Cao before, but Cao Cao's family is now a cavalry captain, much higher than him.
Cao Cao waved his hand, "Why are you here?" Shouldn't you go north with Lord Lu? ”
Zhang He grinned, "It's not suitable for me to be with General Lu at this time. ”
Cao Cao let out a long sigh and stretched out his hand to put his arm around Zhang He's shoulder, "Jun Yi, this fire attack... Is it Wen Ying's idea? ”
Zhang He pretended to be surprised, "Wen Ying is far away in Luoyang, I haven't seen him for a long time, presumably the last time I saw him, you were shorter than me, how could it be his idea?" ”
Cao Cao didn't ask either, because he didn't need Zhang He to give an accurate answer, because Zhang He was here, which showed that even if it wasn't Cheng Yun's idea, he would have to get involved.
Huangfu Song and others were not carried away by the great victory, and continued to lead the army to sweep away the troops in Runan, Chen Guo and other places.
Huangfu Song is a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he knows the truth that the soldiers are noble and fast, and he did not delay, and the whole army prepared to attack Yangzhai.
Bocai knew that blindly retreating could not solve the problem, and decided to be like Huangfu Song Zhu Jun before, stubbornly guarding Yangzhai and waiting for help, but the day did not arrive, Huangfu Song coalition army built a cloud ladder, Sun Jian led the team to risk death to climb the city wall, Yang Zhai broke it, Bocai disappeared in the war, and the Yellow Turban lost tens of thousands of troops again.
Defeat Yang Zhai and eliminate the Bocai Division, and half of the military objectives have been completed this time, followed by the Peng Tuo Division, which is in trouble in Xiping.
Peng Tuobu did not defend Xiping, but pulled out to fight to the death with Huangfu Song and others in the wilderness, but the Yellow Turban's morale was low, the attack was chaotic, and it was directly chiseled through the Chinese army.
Another big victory, Huangfu Song's face was not as excited as Zhu Jun and Cao Cao, for him, maybe winning is a normal thing.
"Bring back the corpse of the robe, the corpse of the yellow turban thief, cut off the head, and make a Jingguan." Huangfu Song gave the order indifferently, and the herald who listened to it was terrified.
"Don't go yet!" Huangfu Song frowned, and Cao Cao next to him admonished: "Now the first evil has not been punished, it is not suitable to do this for the time being, wait until Zhang Jiao is killed, and using Zhang Jiao's head to make a Jingguan is the royal way."
Huangfu Song was just about to reject Cao Cao's proposal, when suddenly an urgent express came, which turned out to be asking them to solve the Yellow Turban of Dongjun, Huangfu Song glanced at Cao Cao and ordered the whole army to pull out the camp, and this matter passed for the time being.
Zhang He scratched his head, "Dongjun? Yanzhou? Donga? Sound familiar? Looks like something was done this time! ”
After the battle reached Yanzhou, the time had reached August, and the weather had turned cool, which was suitable for surprise operations.
Zhang He has been very excited these days, because according to the scout's report, it was Bu Si and his party who made waves in Yanzhou back then, and they had the opportunity to take revenge first.
So he asked for this battle as a vanguard, of course Huangfu Song had no opinion, anyway, Zhang He had a change, and the army he brought was also a cavalry in Beijing, even if he failed to capture or failed, he could let Cao Cao and others pick him up, and it was not a big problem.
Zhang He's march this time has not been famous with the Yellow Turban, and Zhang He has grown a beard in the past few years, Bu Si and others did not recognize him, and fought and retreated, guarding the cangting.
Although Zhang He won many battles, the number of soldiers he led was far from the number of the Yellow Turban Army of Bu Si and others, and he would inevitably suffer a big loss if he stormed the camp guarded by the Yellow Turbans.
Cangting this place, although there is grass, but the grass is low and green, and it is adjacent to the water, and the fire attack of Changshe cannot be replicated; If you want to say that he is close to the water, but the amount of water is getting smaller and smaller in autumn, and if you want to attack by water, it is a trouble to store water, and besides, the place where the Cangting garrison camped is at a higher place, so there is no chance of water attack at all.
Zhang He scratched his ears and cheeks, and knew that he had brought Xu Shu over.
Suddenly, someone outside came to report that a person who called himself "Mr. Zhongde" came to visit in front of the barracks, Zhang He scratched his head, who is that? However, it didn't affect Zhang He to go out and take a look, and he really had a little impression after seeing people, but he didn't know him.
"I'm Zhang He, I don't know who you are?" Zhang Heping retreated from the guards and asked while standing at the gate of the camp.
"I'm Cheng Yu Cheng Zhongde of Dongjun," Cheng Yu asked with a fuss on his beard, "I wonder if Cheng Yun Cheng Wen should be there?"
Zhang He was puzzled, "What do you ask Wen Ying to do?" Of course he didn't come, he was just twelve years old who would take him to battle. ”
Cheng Yu smiled, "The general seems to have forgotten our past intersection, back then in Dong'a Taishan, I had a bet with Cheng Wenying, and today I came to fulfill the gambling contract." ”
Zhang He suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember, sir, please come in." He couldn't forget this, he only knew that Cheng Yun rescued them from the Taiping Taoist Temple with rescuers, but he didn't know who saved them at all.
He also once asked Cheng Yun, Cheng Yun smiled and didn't answer, and if he asked too much, he said, "You will know in the future", which made Zhang He scratch his ears and cheeks. Now that he really knows, Zhang He's admiration for Cheng Yun has another layer.
Waiting for Cheng Yu to be invited into the tent, Zhang He clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you Mr. for saving your life back then, you can't repay it, and then Mr. will be sent to go to the water and fire, and I would rather die."
Cheng Yu hurriedly helped him up, "The general is serious, you came here today to extinguish the anti-thieves, not to repay the favor, let's talk about how to break the yellow scarf stationed in the cangting." ”
Zhang He heard about the military affairs, and immediately restrained his emotions and entered the state, "Now that the Yellow Turban is guarding the village, the number of soldiers and horses in our department is at a great disadvantage, and the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bu Si, Zhang Bo, Liang An and others are also the scum of the Taishan Taoist Temple back then, but they haven't recognized me for the time being." ”
Cheng Yu nodded, "Since the Yellow Turban is guarding the village and has no intention of taking the initiative, we will buy them a flaw and lure them out to fight." ”
"So we attack the camp in the middle of the night, fight them and pretend to be invincible, since the thieves will have an old grudge against you, then when you fight, tell your old grudges, give them a false impression to avoid you from taking revenge again, and kill you now to prevent future troubles, and they will definitely lead their troops out."
Cheng Yu looked at the map, "Retreat to the north until the Yellow River." After arriving at the Yellow River, he boosted morale and fought against the water. ”
Zhang He also looked at the map, "There are dwarf bushes around here, let's ambush some troops in the bushes first, and when the Yellow Turban thieves pass by, they will kill together with us and others, and they will be caught off guard, and the Yellow Turbans will definitely scatter and flee in a panic, this battle can be won!" ”
Cheng Yu nodded, "General Zhang really cleverly changed to control the enemy, planned and then moved, in this case, it depends on how the general breaks the enemy army, and I will wait for the general to return triumphantly." ”
Zhang He hugged his fists and thanked him, and hurriedly went to order troops, Cheng Yu stopped him, "There is a strong man who came with me, who is my fellow countryman and a well-known man in the neighboring county, let him come with me this time, and then go back to Luoyang, let Cheng Wen arrange it." ”
Zhang He nodded in agreement and prepared for the night raid.
