The army came to Beihai in a day, and judging from the news from the front Tanma, there were at least twenty or thirty thousand people besieging the Yellow Turbans in Xixian County at this time

Liu Lan didn't dare to be careless about this, although he had killed Chen Yuanzhi's 50,000 people in Zhuo County back then, but the successive battles were more thrilling, and the most critical point was that his elite dragoon army was still resting in Liaodong, after all, after a big war, they should also be allowed to rest, and the Liaodong Army, so this time they came mainly infantry, of course, their military quality was definitely not comparable to the county soldiers of that year, but there were 10,000 fewer people than the Yellow Turban Army, and Liu Lan's smile before the army naturally became stiff.

Instant account upgrade.

The drum sounded, Zhang Fei found Guan Yu and came with him, and said in a low voice: "Yun Chang, I see that the lord will raise the account, and I must ask the yellow-mouthed child again, even if I have a good plan, I am afraid that I will not listen, why don't I go?" ”

"Nonsense, this is a march and a war, how can it be such a child's play as you?" Guan Yu said as he walked towards the main account: "I'll see what good plan this milky and dry military advisor has, if it's nonsense, I should reason with him." ”

"Youyun Chang said this, I will be relieved."

Everyone arrived one after another, Liu Lan sat on the main seat, and said: "There are many Yellow Turban thieves, far from Ziyi's words of less than 10,000 people, if you fight hard, the gains outweigh the losses, I don't know if there is a good way to break the enemy?" ”

"Lord, the Yellow Turban Thieves are just a rabble, according to my opinion, just come and capture the king first, and take down the leader of the Yellow Turban Thieves."

"Nonsense, is it possible that Yide has forgotten the battle with the Yellow Turban Army back then, if these are really some rabble, but if it is comparable to Chen Yuanzhi's Yellow Turban combat power back then, wouldn't our army have suffered heavy losses?"

Liu Lan glared at Zhang Fei dissatisfied, and looked at him with his head lowered as if he had made a mistake, so he turned to Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, who were standing behind Guan Yu, and asked, "I don't know if you two are familiar with this Guan Hai?" ”

Pei Yuanshao shook his head. But Zhou Cang came out and said: "The last general has had several relationships with Guan Hai. ”

"Oh? Tell me about this person. ”

Zhou Cang said: "Guan Hai is also a famous filial son, he knows loyalty, if it wasn't for Zhang Jiao to save his father, he would not have joined the Yellow Turban, and this person's martial arts are as high as this in the Yellow Turban." He gave a thumbs up. "So it's best not to take this person lightly. ”

"Hmm."

Liu Lan looked at the crowd: "Listed as, I have a word, the Yellow Turban Thief was also a common person, but he went astray, if this person can be used by me, wouldn't it be a good thing?" ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone naturally understood what he meant, after all, Jixian County released prisoners back then. It can be said that Liu Lan set the tone of this battle in one sentence, and then listened to him and said: "Therefore, it is better to surrender the soldiers without a fight in this battle, rather than capture the thief and capture the king first as Yide said." This makes it more difficult for our army, and it is even more difficult to deal with the Yellow Turbans. I couldn't think of a perfect plan for a while, so I could only look at Xu Shu and ask for help: "I don't know if Yuan Zhi has a good plan?" ”

"Actually, I also agree with General Yide's proposal, but since the lord has the idea of surrendering, he is afraid that it will be difficult to persuade Guan Hai to surrender after a long time, so there is only one way to capture him. It's just that we have few soldiers, and we have to be merciful to Guan Hai. In this way, I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to our army. ”

Liu Lan's worries were palpable. said with a solemn face: "If there is no way, then there is only Yiyide's words." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a knowing smile.

I didn't want Xu Shu to change his words: "The way of using soldiers, if the enemy is strong, use wisdom, and if the enemy is weak, use strength, if you want to capture Guan Hai alive in this battle." I think I can only use a suspicious strategy, then the Yellow Turban thieves as long as the heart of the army is messed up, you can take advantage of it, if the army is not dispersed, I want to use General Guan's bravery. Even if you can't capture them alive for a while, you can kill them. ”

"That's nature."

Guan Yu stroked his long hair, his eyes closed slightly, and said proudly: "It's just this suspicious plan, how to use the law?" ”

"You can first ambush a hundred people in the north and south of the county, and after our army and the Yellow Turban thieves fight, the golden drums will sound in unison at the same time, creating the illusion that the army is coming from the north and south, and the Yellow Turban Army does not know where to go, so we can take advantage of it."

"What do the people think?"

Zhang Fei was about to refute, but when he saw Guan Yu's forehead frequently, he couldn't help but close his mouth, Liu Lan saw that everyone had no opinion, and said loudly: "Since this is the case, how can I follow what Yuan Zhi said." He looked at Xu Shu and said, "It's just that the people who go to the two wings as suspicious soldiers, I don't know who is good to go?" ”

"As the saying goes, those who can work harder, I think they have to bother the second general."

"Me?"

Guan Yu's face was cloudy for a while, and he snorted coldly, and said, "Didn't the military advisor say before that the credit for this battle would be given to Guan Mou?" Why did Guan go to be a suspicious soldier at this time? ”

"Haha, General Guan wants to be left."

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Since the merit of this battle is handed over to the second general, how can a good thing come in pairs, what if the second general sends Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao under his command to go to the two places to act as suspicious soldiers, how about it?" ”

Guan Yu glanced back at the two of them, saw them nodding, and then said: "Since this is the case, it will be according to what the military advisor said......

After a short rest, Liu Lan's army only started after the suspicious soldiers were properly hidden, and the troops of less than 4,000 people went murderously towards Beihai County Zhiju County.

Not far from the drama county, I saw a piece of black pressure in front of me, squirming like ants, looking at the number of people to say that there are 20,000, but they are wearing, but what they are holding in their hands makes Liu Lan feel a lot more relieved, these people are far worse than Chen Yuanzhi's troops back then, not to mention leather armor, even the long weapons in their hands are all kinds of farm tools, as for knives, guns, swords, halberds, but not even a third, not to mention that most of them are still some women and old people wearing linen clothes, their hands are empty, all relying on one hand and one mouth.

Guan Hai got the news that reinforcements came from the east, and when he saw the military horses of less than five people, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in Beihai were not Lao Tzu's opponents, and the officers and soldiers of less than 5,000 people were not as easy as chopping melons and vegetables?

"Brothers, the opportunity to get rich has come, these 4,000 officers and soldiers must know that our brothers are short of food and grass, and they came to give it to us." While speaking, Guan Hai brought more than 10,000 yellow turban thieves to Liu Lan's troops.

Before leaving, Guan Hai ordered the rest of the generals to take care of Beihai carefully, so as to prevent them from colluding with the officers and soldiers outside the city. Then he came to the front of the formation, and saw eight or nine people lined up on the opposite side, and he shouted arrogantly: "Hey, old man." Are you going to fight or are you going to fight? ”

Liu Lan looked at Guan Hai, he was tall, his head was wrapped in a yellow scarf, his face was purple, and his face was a little pockmarked, not to mention how funny. I wanted to laugh in my heart but endured it, and it took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "What kind of fighting method are you going to do?" ”

"If you fight like this, I am afraid that you will be bullied by more and less, and you will not be convinced if you lose, why don't you send a powerful one to fight with me on the three lilies, and if I win, I will leave your baggage, if you win. Haha......" said this, but laughed mockingly: "That's impossible." ”

"If we win, how about you surrender?" Liu Lan said with a smile.

"Let's talk about it first."

"What if we don't compare?"

"Do you have any other choice? If you don't compare, then you can only fight on the battlefield. ”

"Lord, why bother with him, I'll go and capture him." Guan Yu was already impatient.

"Okay, just follow your word." Liu Lan shouted to Guan Hai and at the same time, he whispered to Guan Yu beside him, "Yun Chang, don't be careless. ”

"Don't worry, lord!" Guan Yu played with a horse. Straight to Guan Hai, he and the two horses intersected. The army shouted loudly and cheered for the two of them.

Guan Yu knew that Liu Lan had the idea of surrendering this person, and he didn't dare to use the stunt 'Qinglong Chasing Soul', even the 'Qinglong Two Points Amount' was useless, just blindly defending.

The two had not been fighting for more than ten times, when they suddenly heard shouts from both sides. The gongs and drums were noisy, and Guan Yu smiled: "Guan Hai, what do you think are on both sides?" ”

Guan Hai had already heard the shouts on both sides, and he was shocked, and suddenly heard Guan Yu's reminder that he had guessed that it was the official army reinforcements. But at this time, the battlefield fighters did not dare to be distracted, but just focused on the battle.

Guan Yu saw that he was not distracted, but had the tendency to become more and more courageous, and shouted: "Qinglong two o'clock." ”

Brush brush brush three knives, when Guan Hai received the third knife, only to feel a numbness in the tiger's mouth, the trident flew out, Guan Yu followed the method of recruiting and captured, and lifted Guan Hai in front of him, came to Liu Lan and threw it down.

On the side, Liang Da ran forward to tie him up, looking at Guan Hai, who was tied up with five flowers, Liu Lan smiled and said, "How is it?" ”

Guan Hai was about to insult, but when he saw Guan Yu's expression, he immediately looked gloomy like a defeated fighting, so he only heard Liu Lan say: "You will be captured, don't let your subordinates surrender quickly!" ”

"You want me to surrender, dream!" For the Yellow Turban Army, there are only two ways to meet the official army, either fight to the end or flee, and no one will choose to surrender, because compared to the two roads of survival, surrender means death, this law has become an iron law of the official army as early as when Huangfu Song drove hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops to the river.

It can be said that since then, as long as the officers and soldiers catch the Yellow Turban Army, they will be executed, and most of the Yellow Turban Army will die if they surrender, of course, there have been special cases during this period, such as Cao Cao, but this is a minority after all, a handful of minority, which can be ignored.

"Brothers, these officers and soldiers are very tight, you run quickly, leave me alone." Guan Hai suddenly shouted.

Liu Lan looked at him, he didn't care that the old and weak among the Yellow Turban thieves scattered and fled, but Xu Shu on the side ordered the drums to beat, and suddenly the three armies killed the Yellow Turban thieves under the leadership of Zhang Fei and others, of course, no one really killed them, but drove them to the ambush of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao.

The battle ended almost in a blink of an eye, after counting, only a very small number of Yellow Turban soldiers escaped, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao laughed and returned to Liu Lan to report the victory, after the report, Zhou Cang, who had several relationships with Guan Hai, appeared in front of him as a lobbyist, arched his hand, and said: "General Guan, do you remember me?" ”

"Zhou Cang, it's you?" Guan Hai, who was in low spirits, raised his head and recognized Zhou Cang at a glance.

"I didn't expect General Guan to remember me."

Zhou Cang smiled and said: "This is Liu Lan, the commander of Liaodong County, General Guan, I advise you to surrender." ”

"Liu Lan?"

Guan Hai thought about it, and then suddenly realized, no wonder the official army here is so strong, it turned out to be Liu Lan's troops, suddenly startled, looked at Zhou Cang, and said: "The person who fought with me before was not General Guan Yuguan?" ”

"Exactly."

"Defeat in his hands, not wronged."

Guan Hai closed his eyes, suddenly thought of something, looked at Zhou Cang, and said, "You are serving Liu Lan now?" ”

"No, Guan Hai, compared to what happened in Jixian County back then, you have also heard about it, Liu Junshou and Huangfu Song are not all the way!"

"Liu Junshou, I am willing to stay, and I will never give up when I go to the soup and fire."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kong Rong, who has a high posture and elegant manners, personally went out of the city to welcome Liu Lan and his party into the city, and saw him smile from a distance to greet him, just like when he saw him back then, wearing luxurious Lu brocade, this Lu brocade is a precious thing, its texture is thick and crisp, the color is simple and elegant, worn on Kong Rong's body, the elegant atmosphere is stronger,

His age is only forty years old, although the ancients are old, and he looks like a little old man in his forties, but today's Kong Rong is much older than Liu Lan when he saw him in sour dates, not to mention the first time they met in Yangzhai back then, it is like a different person, which shows how much sin the Yellow Turban Siege has made him suffer in the past few months.

Kong Rong came to Liu Lan's side and said with a smile: "I don't want to see you for ten days, Deran's demeanor is the same as before." ”

After Liu Lan returned the salute, he complimented: "It has been many years since the sour jujube was parted, and Kong Beihai is unharmed." ‘

Kong Rong laughed, showing the grace of celebrities: "Liu Deran is incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, this time he came to relieve the siege, so that the people in the city can avoid thieves and poison, Kong is here to thank the fathers and elders of the city!" ”

"Where righteousness is, the world will go to it. Where the Tao is, the world returns. The people of the whole city of Beihai are concerned about one place, and they can resist the robbers together, so as to ensure the safety of the city, and how dare Deran take credit. "When you meet such a great Confucian, you have to say some such polite words, the so-called etiquette three hundred, the prestige three thousand in Liu Lan's opinion is just red tape, too fake, if the opposite is not Kong Rong, he will not pretend like this, now no matter how unhappy, he has to pretend, politely, said: "Confucius is a great benevolence and virtue, famous in the world, how dare Lan not follow the ancient precepts?" ”

Kong Rong praised and said: Meng Ziyun: Shrinking from self-reflection, although tens of millions of people have gone to me. Liu Liaodong does not shy away from life and death for the righteousness of the world, and he is very admired. ”

Fortunately, Liu Lan's current literary foundation is relatively solid, otherwise he really can't deal with Kong Rong, but even so, he can't bear it, fortunately, Kong Rong didn't continue the red tape, otherwise Liu Lan really didn't know how to take over the stubble, and only listened to Kong Rong, who turned to the topic, said: "Liu Liaodong, I don't know what you want to do with these captives?" As he spoke, he pointed to the many Yellow Turban thieves outside the city and asked.

"If according to the law, if you obey the law on the spot to avoid future troubles, it can also play an exemplary role, but now that the Yellow Turban thieves are very numerous, why not take their youth and strength as the army, and use the Yellow Turbans to fight the Yellow Turban bandits, wouldn't it be the best strategy?" (To be continued.) )
