The 206th Broken Yellow Turban (II)

The manpower drawn from various armies has been under Pei Yuanshao's hands, and seeing that there are more and more soldiers and horses under Pei Yuanshao's hands, it naturally attracts the jealousy of others. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but compared with jealousy, I'm afraid it's more 'schadenfreude'.

For Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Pei Yuanshao is famous, but he is an outsider. In this era, people's rejection of outsiders is definitely beyond everyone's expectations, even if Pei Yuanshao has deep qualifications, there are quite a few people in the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou who look at him very unpleasantly.

That's right, it's quite unpleasant...

Why can an outsider climb to the same height as them, and why is this outsider's soldiers and horses stronger than all of them?

Even if Pei Yuanshao's qualifications are there, there are never fewer people who hate him.

It's no wonder that they look at the current Pei Yuanshao and gloat so much.

This incident did greatly increase the strength in Pei Yuanshao's hands, but the extra 3,000 soldiers and horses were almost all the parts that the other leaders didn't want very much, and the vast majority of the soldiers didn't even have a decent blade in their hands, so you can imagine the strength. With such a little soldiers and horses to take charge of the break, it is difficult to say whether Pei Yuanshao can leave alive...

"Brother Pei, so I'll leave it to you!" Xu He also knew the thoughts of the brothers below, and he actually didn't have similar thoughts in his heart, patting Pei Yuanshao on the shoulder, Xu He still said enthusiastically.

If you want people to die, you always have to do superficial work...

However, the people behind him don't have such good acting skills, and they either sneer or sneer at each other.

"Please rest assured, you will go all out!" Pei Yuanshao lowered his head and hugged his fists.

The other cronies behind him also clenched their fists, but their expressions were different.

Xu He nodded with satisfaction, whispered a few more words, and then turned around and left the camp.

There were more than 100,000 troops withdrawn this time, and the first ones to evacuate were the old and weak who accompanied the army. Don't look at these are just the old, weak, sick and disabled who are used to replenish the number, and there is almost no possibility of going into battle. For Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, these old and weak are very important, and almost all of them are their family members...

That's right, family...

In other words, these yellow scarves are simply taking their families to war.

Perhaps this part of the population will not play a role at all when it comes to fighting, and will even only lag behind. But if something happens to them, the morale of the whole army will collapse in an instant.

Now that they are about to run away, the first thing is, of course, to arrange for them who are unable to move to leave first, and then the other soldiers and horses under their command. There are no scheduling talents in the yellow scarf, and many people have died in the previous bloody battles, so this kind of thing also needs Xu He to experience it himself.

When Xu He left and looked at his back, those subordinates with different expressions gathered to Pei Yuanshao's side, quietly waiting for his order.

"Everything is as planned..."

"No!"

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

"Dashuai, do you think Pei Yuanshao's guy will really be in charge of the broken queen as we thought?" Leaving from Pei Yuanshao's side, one of Xu He's cronies couldn't help asking.

As mentioned earlier, many people don't doubt Pei Yuanshao very much, and even reject him.

This post-mortem mission may really be regarded as a mission to death, and many people are happy to see the failure of Pei Yuanshao, an outsider. However, the importance of the break is also self-evident, if it fails, the whole army will be in danger, and it is not necessary for Xu and the people around him to be careless.

If Pei Yuanshao plays some tricks in it, I'm afraid they will be in trouble.

"So far, apart from him, do we have any other candidates..."Xu He also sighed, in fact, if there were other candidates, Xu He didn't want Pei Yuanshao to do this, but unfortunately no...

After a series of bloody battles, his men suffered heavy casualties, and those brothers who were known for their courage and good fighting were easily killed one by one in the challenge of Gan Ning, Zhao Yun and others.

Now, apart from Pei Yuanshao, Xu He can't even find anyone worthy of trust.

"Okay, anyway, now Brother Pei is our companion, and he is an old man who followed the great sage and good teacher back then, and he has a lot of qualifications, so you should wait for more net weight for him..."

Hearing Xu He's words, several people around him didn't dare to refute, but they showed a look of disdain on their faces.

Senior? The old man next to the great sage and good teacher?

Maybe all of this is true, but so what? Now it is no longer the era of Taiping Dao, and I am afraid that less than one-third of these yellow scarves who follow Xu He really believe in Taiping Dao, and most of the rest are forced to join the Yellow Turban for their livelihood, and some are simply after the city is broken, they are coerced out by the Yellow Turban, because of some skills, more military exploits, and finally became the leader of it.

What is Taiping Road to them?

If it weren't for the fact that they were still net weight Xu and this handsome, they would be a little easier to mix with the name of a yellow scarf this year, and it would be easier to have a sense of belonging, I'm afraid they really don't care much about the yellow scarf on their bodies.

Xu He naturally saw the appearance of the people below, but he didn't say anything, just shook his head secretly.

It's just that after waiting until late at night and thinking about it, Xu He felt that his previous thoughts might have been missing. Pei Yuanshao is indeed the best candidate at present, at least in terms of talent, there are indeed many brothers under him, but it is difficult to find those who can compare to Pei Yuanshao, at least those who are still alive.

However, who can guarantee that he will not leave himself and others alone?

If he leaves directly at that time, won't he directly expose himself and others in front of Yan Shao?

"Perhaps, you can send a trusted brother to contain one or two? You don't want to be meritorious, as long as everything is stable..."

In the final analysis, just like his brothers, Xu He didn't trust Pei Yuanshao very much.

It's just that just when he was thinking about who to send to contain or monitor Pei Yuanshao so that he could work hard to do the work after the break, he saw a fire suddenly lit up in the distance.

"Fire?" At first, Xu He thought it was a fire, but when he recognized the direction from which the firelight came from, his face changed greatly. "Hell!"

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

What's more, for the Yellow Turban, grain and grass are undoubtedly the most important link, in the depths of the camp, there are already countless Yellow Turbans around the camp where grain and grass are hoarded, and the person responsible for guarding is Xu He's cronies, Sima Ju, who is also the second leader of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

To be reasonable, not everyone surnamed Sima is a relative of Sima Yi, at least this is not, otherwise it would not have been reduced to the point of becoming a yellow scarf and being displaced every day. Although he has more than 10,000 troops, he is better than the people who have fine clothes and food in the family every day.

What's more, when it comes to strength, today's Haoqiang may not be inferior.

is like Mi Zhu, when he marries a sister, he can give a dowry that can be called a sky-high price, not to mention those who are really powerful. And like the Sima family, even if the strength is not comparable to the Mi family, at least it is not comparable to ordinary families, and the strength in his hands is more than a thousand soldiers?

Living in such a wealthy family is definitely much better than being the king and hegemon among thousands of rogues.

But then again, there are countless constraints in the family every day, but it can't be compared with being the king of the mountains outside.

Lying in the camp, looking at the lights in the distance, and drinking wine one by one, Sima Ju felt that this day was still good.

To say that wine is not a rare thing, at least in those wealthy families, even in disaster years, there are constant drinking and feasting every day. Otherwise, there would be no poems such as Zhumen's wine and meat, and frozen bones on the road. But in the yellow scarf, wine has become a very rare thing, especially in disaster years, not to mention drinking in ordinary yellow scarves, it is a great blessing to be able to drink a few sips in a year.

In the past, when the cities were captured, the wine that was plundered was distributed among the leaders above.

But then again, no matter where you go, there is not a class, and Sima Ju is undoubtedly at the top of the entire Yellow Turban, even in the face of a giant like Zhang Yan, who can speak loudly. It is usually difficult to taste a bite of something in the hands of other yellow scarves and even leaders, but it is accidentally strange when it comes to Sima Ju―――――― from a certain point of view, this also confirms the degeneration of yellow scarves.

Isn't it strange that such a thing would happen to the peasants, even in the name of religion? First it expanded at an unimaginable speed, and then it degenerated even faster, indulging in drunkenness.

It is also conceivable that at the end of the feudal dynasty, the life of the common people, especially ordinary peasants, was not only difficult, but also boring and boring.

"This Pei Yuanshao is also very knowledgeable about current affairs, isn't he as annoying as others say..."Shaking the wine bottle in his hand, Sima Ju burped and said slowly.

As the number two person other than Xu He, of course Sima Ju doesn't have to have a meal like everyone else, but even if he can usually touch the wine, it is impossible to get drunk like now.

Now Sima Ju can get drunk like mud, which is also a blessing for Pei Yuanshao.

Originally, at this time, Sima Ju should have arranged for the transfer of grain and grass, and the 100,000 yellow scarves consumed every day were not a small amount. Sima Ju, the No. 2 person in the yellow scarf, is personally in charge of this place, which also confirms the importance of these grains and grasses from the side.

didn't want to wait for him to arrange it, Pei Yuanshao had already sent someone to send a truckload of wine to him and his leaders.

In this boring and boring era, the attraction of wine to people is definitely not what ordinary people can imagine, seeing such a car of fine wine, Sima Ju and others immediately forgot to arrange grain and grass, and they were all immersed in alcohol.

Some of the leaders below him also smirked and nodded in agreement, and their favorability towards Pei Yuanshao was almost to the point of bursting.

Even the guards outside the tent were all happy, tasting the wine that Sima Ju had just rewarded―――――― although the quantity could not be compared with Sima Ju and the others, it also allowed them to relieve their hunger.

At this time, neither Sima Ju nor the leaders of his subordinates seemed to notice that not far away, a group of people were staring coldly here.

"Chief?"

Seeing the bright lights in the distance, a leader came to Pei Yuanshao's side and whispered.

They didn't wear any night clothes or anything like that, one was that there were no night clothes in those years, and as a group of rogues, they weren't rich enough to pull out hundreds of black clothes at will.

Not only a few hundred, but even a hundred and eighty are impossible...

But in this place where there are yellow scarves everywhere, the tattered clothes are much better than any night clothes.

"Kill!" With a wave of his arm forward, Pei Yuanshao said in a deep voice.

With Pei Yuanshao's order, the other yellow scarves that had long been ready to go rushed forward.

It is not impossible to say that there are people in charge of patrolling, but this can be said to be Xu He's hinterland, and there are yellow scarves everywhere, waiting for idlers to break through unless they have wings.

Even the garrison around the camp is weak, it's not that they don't know the importance of grain and grass to themselves. It's just that they don't think that there will be any danger to these grains and grasses, not to mention how the officials and soldiers can know the location of these grains and grasses, and even if they do, what way can they rush over in a short time?

100,000 yellow scarves are not 100,000 milk babies, even if Yan Shao is given a few thousand more cavalry, it will take some time to break through the outermost camp, with this effort, the place where grain and grass are hoarded has long been prepared.

They never thought that there would be a spy inside them...

Unsuspecting, the Yellow Turbans who were responsible for patrolling on the periphery were killed in an instant, rushed into the camp of the Yellow Turbans, and divided into two parts, one part rushed directly towards the camp tent of Sima Ju and others, and the other part was holding torches in their hands and rushing towards the position where the grain and grass were hoarded.

Sima Ju and grain and grass, as long as one of the two is taken, it will be considered a success, but Pei Yuanshao plans to take both of them.

It just so happened that the person who delivered the wine during the day had already noted down the location of Sima Juying's village, so that Xu He could find the road to there without too much trouble.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

Inside the tent, there was already a mess.

When the people who were drinking inside heard the shouting of killing, they didn't care at all, and they didn't think there was anything strange about the shouting and killing from outside, who were paralyzed by alcohol.

But it didn't take long for a burst of fire to come outside, even if Sima Ju and they really drank too much, it was impossible for them not to react at all, and many people woke up from their drunken state, including Sima Ju.

Looking at the dark night made red by the firelight, Sima Ju was dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.

He never thought that in the hinterland of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, this could happen. In addition, they have not yet encountered the sneak attackers, and even wonder if the enemy has flown over.

"Hell, come out with me!" Picking up the blade from the position beside him, Sima Ju was the first to rush out.

Maybe some people drink and ignore it, Sima Ju is definitely not a timid guy, otherwise it would be impossible to climb to the current position.

The other leaders in the tent also took up their swords and ran out of the tent one by one.

It's just that when they ran out, maybe because they were drunk, they staggered one by one, and they were almost unstable. If it weren't for the guards beside me, I'm afraid I would have fallen to the ground as soon as I ran out.

"Damn, damn it..."Looking at the scene of the fire in the distance, Sima Ju whispered inarticulately, and the guards supporting him looked at each other and became worried.

In any case, rescuing grain and grass is the most necessary thing at present, Sima Ju has drunk too much, but fortunately, there are still some people in the camp who are not drunk. They knew very well how much significance these grains and grasses were to the Yellow Turbans, and they rushed up with their headquarters one by one, wanting to drive the enemy away and then extinguish the fire.

But the strength of the enemy was somewhat unexpected to them, especially one of the men who covered his face with a cloth, and was extremely brave. It's just that he alone blocked the gate of the village, so that people outside could not enter.

Originally, if there were archers at this time, under the fire of ten thousand arrows, no matter how brave they were, it would be useless. The key is that there are not many bows and arrows in the yellow scarf, especially here, which is even less pitiful, and it is impossible to form such an advantage, no matter how many times the leaders of the leaders have rushed down.

The situation was scorching, the fire in the camp rushed to the group, and the alcohol on Sima Ju's body also woke up with the fire in the camp.

"Quick, rush in for me!"

He knows very well that all the grain and grass of the 100,000 yellow turbans are now hoarded here, if the grain and grass are lost. Even if Xu He could forgive him, the other leaders would probably kill him. At that time, even if he was the number two person in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, it was useless.

It was a little difficult for the yellow scarf to distinguish rewards and punishments, but he lost the rations that the brothers relied on for their livelihood, but it was difficult for the gods to save him.

However, no matter how many times he rushed, the yellow scarf under his tent was repelled by those sneak attackers, and seeing that the fire in the camp was getting bigger and bigger, Sima Ju finally couldn't bear it, and he didn't care that the alcohol on his body hadn't sobered up, so he had already rushed forward with a long knife and a few brothers.

I have to say that Sima Ju's martial arts are still quite good, at least much stronger than those leaders around him and even ordinary pawns. It's just that when he faces the person who hides his identity, it's a little bit of a bad game.

Sima Ju's martial arts are really extraordinary, but after facing that person, he also feels extremely difficult, if calculated according to the martial arts between the two, Sima Ju's martial arts are at least a few points worse than that person, if it weren't for the fact that there are many guards around him who are responsible for taking care of him, I'm afraid he would have failed miserably.

In the camp, looking at the burned grain and grass, Pei Yuanshao nodded, no longer entangled any longer, and with a whistle, he had already evacuated from it with the remaining brothers.

When Xu He arrived with his soldiers and horses, he saw Sima Ju and the others who had just extinguished the fire, but they were in the original position full of grain and grass, but now there was nothing at all...

No...

There are still a lot of things, such as ashes and dead bodies...

"What's going on!" Looking at the mess at the scene, Xu He's face was full of iron.

Originally, there should have been a mountain of grain and grass here, but now almost all of them have been burned except for a few that are located on the edge and rescued in time.

"The marshal forgives the sin, but in fact, a group of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, attacked the camp where the grain and grass were stored, set fire to the grain and grass, and then broke through..."

Just by looking at Xu He's expression, you can see how angry Xu He is now. If you can, Sima Ju really doesn't want to touch Xu He's brows now, but there is no way, who called him the number two person on the scene?

He is also in charge of guarding the matter of grain and grass, and now if something goes wrong, if he doesn't stand up and explain, who should explain?

"Unknown..."Hearing this, Xu He was stunned for a moment while being annoyed.

As mentioned earlier, grain and grass are the top priority, in order to ensure the safety of grain and grass, the location of the hoarding of grain and grass is almost in the center of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. Not to mention that the grain and grass itself is guarded by more than 1,000 people, there are countless soldiers and horses around the position of the hoarding of grain and grass alone.

With so many soldiers and horses, it was not easy for Yan Shao to break in. Now that Sima Ju told him that the reason why this kind of thing happened was because someone rushed in, it was no wonder that Xu He was surprised.

"What about the man?"

Whatever it was to the gang that got to the place where they were stockpiling food and grass, a little inquiry would have led them to learn the details, or at least their origins.

Who wanted to hear his words, but Sima Ju said with an embarrassed face.

"Ran away..."

"Ran away?"

Seeing that Xu He seemed to be about to explode, Sima Ju hurriedly spoke. "It's not that we are incompetent, but these people seem to be very familiar with the situation of us, and before we go out to intercept the people who have run without a trace, the fire in the camp at that time is amazing, if you don't want to rescue it, I am afraid that all the grain and grass in the camp will be burned, so..."

Looking at Sima Ju and his cronies, if Xu He really wanted to cut off his head with a knife.

It's a pity he can't...

Not to mention that Sima Ju has a close relationship with him, and his own person is not so easy to deal with. Don't look at the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Sima Ju is just a second-in-class person, and he can climb to this position, which just proves what this person's strength is.

The number of soldiers and horses under his command is almost second only to Xu He, if they really want to hold this person accountable, I am afraid that before leaving, they themselves will have to fight first.

At the moment, the situation is critical, and it will not take long for the news of the burning of grain and grass to spread throughout the army, chaos is inevitable, and killing each other at this time will only cheapen Yan Shao.

Thinking of this, even if he wanted to kill Sima Ju in his heart, Xu He could only endure it for the time being.

glared at Sima Ju fiercely, and Xu He said angrily. "Immediately ask your men and horses to count how much grain and grass is still in the camp, and I will leave immediately after tomorrow dawn..."

Sima Ju also knew very well that the grain and grass were gone, and if he continued to stay, he would only wait for death, so he didn't say anything, and hurriedly hugged his fists.

"Yes!"

As for Xu He's thoughts, how could he not know, but as the second powerful figure in the Qingzhou Army, he was not worried at all.

Xu He is really powerful, he Sima Ju is not easy to mess with, if he really fights, it is nothing more than a lose-lose situation...

However, on the face, Sima Ju still put on a trembling look, and he also deceived many people...

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

If they could, Sima Ju and Xu He both wanted to hide the burning of grain and grass first, and wait until they were evacuated. But such a big thing can't be concealed at all, not to mention how many people were disturbed by the fire and shouts of killing last night, and the fact that the food distributed the next day suddenly decreased a lot can prove a lot of speculation.

For a moment, people were panicked.

When it comes to war, they are not very afraid, but they are afraid of starvation, but now all the food and grass are gone...

Naturally, the matter of grain and grass also needs to be traced, the location of the hoarding of grain and grass is not secret, but it is heavily guarded, if it is not his own people, unless the other party flies in with wings, it is possible to avoid that series of obstacles and burn the grain and grass in the camp.

Xu He didn't think that someone really had wings behind him, in this case, the only explanation was that there were traitors in his people, otherwise it would not have been possible for more than a thousand soldiers and horses to suddenly come out and burn the grain and grass.

And after a series of investigations, the most suspicious is...

"Kill!"

A shout of killing came from outside the camp, causing the leaders in the tent to look at each other, not knowing what was happening.

"Someone!" Xu He shouted angrily, and soon a personal guard ran in from outside.

"Dashuai!" This guard is also quite burly, but at this time, there is a hint of panic on his face.

"What's going on?!" Xu He asked, a hint of foreboding rising in his heart.

"Marshal, Yan Shao's soldiers and horses have been killed!"

As if confirming all this, a scream came, Xu He and the others ran out of the tent, and saw a dense rain of arrows falling from a distance like raindrops.

Due to the range, these arrows did not fall to Xu and them, but they still killed and injured many unsuspecting yellow turbans.

"Damn it!" At this point, how could Xu He not understand that all this was Yan Shao's trick. First, he bribed the people in his army to become traitors, burned grain and grass, and then took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack.

"I'll lead the troops and kill Yan Shao back!" Pulling out the saber at his waist, Xu He said loudly.

At this time, the leaders who were still beside Xu He were basically his cronies, and they all received orders when they heard his words.

In a hurry, the gate of the camp opened, and one by one the embarrassed yellow turban thieves rushed out of the gate, lining up in a scattered formation to meet the approaching enemy. During this period, there are still many bosses who want to take advantage of the last opportunity to organize the formation more densely...

It's a pity that Yan Shao didn't give them so much time, and the arrows in the sky still fell like raindrops, making the plan to organize the formation as slow as a snail.

Finally, it was a little better to tidy up a little, and Yan Shao's soldiers and horses had already been killed in front of him.

Thousands of soldiers and horses slaughtered like a rainbow, and in a hurry, Xu He led the soldiers to meet the enemy.

It's just that Xu He's expected attack was not successful, but just touched together, and in an instant, the huge formation was torn open a huge opening, and in front of the Beihai soldiers and horses, the huge number of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans was almost powerless to fight back.

Especially when the Dare First Army, together with the other cavalry troops, killed from the flank, and directly defeated the flank, the rout became almost inevitable...

Xu He wanted to redeem the defeat, but someone had already been eyeing him.

"It's you!" Looking at the person who appeared in front of him viciously, Xu He said angrily. "You actually betrayed the great sage and good teacher and became a lackey of the official army!"

"You're wrong, what I did was for the sake of the great sage and good teacher..."Pulling out the saber at his waist, Pei Yuanshao shook his head slightly. It's a pity, you're afraid you can't understand it..."
