Chapter Eighty-Six: Cao Cao Arrives
"General Digong, Guan Hai is incompetent, and only a few dozen of the 20,000 soldiers have returned!" Guangzong City, Guan Hai finally led dozens of people into the city, and when he saw Zhang Liang, Guan Hai knelt in front of him in shame and said.
"The fault of this battle is not you, I misestimated Yao Jie's appetite, I didn't expect him to dare to directly set up an ambush and eat my 20,000 army, he is not afraid that my whole army will attack, and when the time comes, won't it be impossible to steal chickens and rice?" Zhang Liang was also angry, even Dong Zhuo's more than 20,000 elites of the Han army were defeated by him, but in the face of Yao Jie, he didn't take advantage of it at all, and the other party seemed to be able to guess his every move, and then defeated him.
Zhang Liang waved his hand, signaled Guan Hai to retreat, and sighed helplessly: "Yao Jie, Yao Jie, are you sent by God to punish my Yellow Turban Army?" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liang shook his head again and said, "No! The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious, you are just a clown jumping off the beam! "What is the highest level of deception, that is, even he has deceived himself, and it is obvious that Zhang Liang is in this case.
Just when Guangzong City was sad for a while, the camp of the captured army was full of joy, and Yang Hu also led the cavalry back to the camp, otherwise Guan Hai would not have been so easy to enter Guangzong, but only Dian Wei was sullen.
He was Yao Jie's personal guard commander, and he didn't fight much, but he finally got a chance, but Guan Hai passed by Zhang Fei, and he didn't get anything, so he was naturally unhappy.
"Haha! Evil, although you didn't encounter the Yellow Turban Army this time, but there will be a chance in the future, there are still 200,000 Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City! Zhang Fei hooked Dian Wei's neck and smiled, listening to his words, Dian Wei also reacted, now there are so few generals in the army, he will definitely be indispensable for the attack in the future, so Dian Wei also abandoned the unhappiness in his heart and ran to celebrate together.
The next day, early in the morning, Yao Jie did not attack the city, because of the time relationship, the siege weapons of the conquest army were insufficient, and he could not attack the city for the time being, not to mention that the siege battle was the largest casualty ratio, and the 50,000 people of the conscription army attacked the city defended by the 200,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army, and people could consume you to death.
Yao Jie did not attack the city, and Zhang Liang was also happy to be idle, but he was ordered to defend the city tightly and not to fight without authorization, so there was a rare calm on the battlefield of Guangzong.
Half a month later, Yao Jie in the camp of the conquest army was worried, no matter how the conquest army fought during this time, Zhang Liang ignored it, which made Yao Jie very depressed, and wanted to attack the city with some simple siege weapons is not enough, although the catapult appeared as early as the Warring States Period, but now there are very few craftsmen who will make it, otherwise Cao Yuan's battle Cao Cao will not use the catapult to catch Yuan Shao off guard.
"Tell the general, Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, has led the 5,000 soldiers and horses of his department to thirty miles away!" A scout came to report.
"Ling Yide came to see me!" Yao Jie pondered for a moment and said.
Soon, Zhang Fei came to Yao Jie's camp, and before anyone arrived, the rough voice came first, "Big brother, is there any battle for me to fight?" ”
Yao Jie shook his head speechlessly, Zhang Fei is a battle maniac, and he can't forget to go to the battlefield all day long.
"Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, has arrived thirty miles away, and Yun Chang has returned to Beiping, you are the only partial general except for the evil one, and the official position is just right to meet Captain Cao, it is naturally more than enough to meet him, but your temper can be collected, and you must not speak wildly!" The last sentence Yao Jie said very seriously, he is already a third grade, far from being comparable to Cao Cao, a military captain, naturally he will not go to greet him in person, and secondly, he also admires Cao Cao in history very much, and now the two sides are not enemies, so it is better to make friends as much as possible.
"Don't worry, big brother!" Zhang Fei agreed nonchalantly.
"No, I'm still not at ease, Wen Guang, you go with Yide, look at him, if he dares to cause trouble, come back and be locked up for half a month!" When Yao Jie saw Zhang Fei's appearance, he was very uneasy.
Zhang Fei was scared into a cold sweat when he heard this, he Zhang Fei was not afraid of pain, not afraid of death, but afraid of the small black house, Zhang Fei was used to being casual, and did not abide by military regulations in the army, Yao Jie used this method to punish him, it is strange to say, Zhang Fei, an eight-foot tall man, is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid of confinement, he was only locked up for three days, and after coming out, Zhang Fei's whole person was empty, and he never dared to violate military discipline again, and now it is fifteen days.
Zhang Fei felt a little blue at the thought of having to spend fifteen days in the dark, and secretly warned himself to keep his mouth shut.
"Wen Guang, why hasn't this Cao Cao arrived yet!" Zhang Fei rode a war horse, constantly scratching his ears and cheeks, looking very impatient.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Looking at Zhang Fei's impatient appearance, Yang Huqiang couldn't help but smile and said.
"Hey, look, isn't this coming?" Yang Hu pointed to the distance.
Zhang Fei turned his head and looked in the direction pointed by Yang Hu, and found that there was indeed an army approaching in the distance, and soon that army was closer, seeing that the outfit was not much different from the conquest army, there were only some slight differences.
"Cao Cao has seen General Zhang!" Cao Cao saluted Zhang Fei, who had a leopard head and eyes, although Cao Cao was only a captain, but in terms of status, the eighth captain of Xiyuan was not comparable to an ordinary captain, and his status was only higher than Zhang Fei, a partial general, so it was not rude for Cao Cao to call him so.
It may be that Yao Jie's threat has worked, and Zhang Fei also returned the salute for the first time: "The military captain doesn't have to be polite!" ”
"This is my eldest brother's deputy commander Yang Hu and Yang Wenguang!" Zhang Fei introduced.
"Yang Hu has seen the lieutenants of the military academy and the generals!" Yang Hu saluted Cao Cao and Cao Ren and the others beside him.
"I've seen Commander Yang!" Cao Cao and the others will naturally not be rude.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my lord has been waiting in the barracks for a long time, and I would like you to come with me!" Yang Hu said again.
After speaking, Yang Hu glanced at Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei also said: "My eldest brother is indeed waiting in the tent, let's not let him wait for a long time!" ”
After saying that, Zhang Fei waved his hand, and the two thousand conscripted troops who came out to greet him changed into a rear team and headed towards the camp of the conscriptive army, Cao Cao and Cao Ren and others showed shocked expressions, they naturally didn't know that this was the elite army under Yao Jie, and the prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army who had been recruited before had not reached this level due to time.
Now the weather is not particularly hot, the time of Yao Ming's army is June, after several resistance battles of the Yellow Turban Army and the time to hurry, it was already mid-August when he arrived in Guangzong, and now after half a month of preparation for making siege weapons, the time has entered September of the sixth year of Guanghe, and the Cao army who entered the camp of the conquest army was immediately led to the camp that had been arranged for them, and Cao Cao took Cao Ren and Xiahoudun to meet Yao Jie.
