But since Jin Jue, a lascivious boy, is unwilling to go over, it is not easy for others to say anything, even if Wei Xu can't get used to him, it is not good to keep looking for his fault in front of Zhang Liao and Chen Gong.

Lu Bu left simply, and the first army left very freely.

After all, there are Lu Bu's family members here, and he can be very ruthless to entrust his family members to these three people this time, and the other generals will not say anything.

According to the plan made by Jin Jue before, he left Xiaopeicheng and headed west.

At this time, Cao Cao's tentacles had not yet extended to the entire Yuzhou, and he did not have time to capture some of the more important counties, Yingchuan, Peijun and Runan. Therefore, from Xiaopei to Yingchuan County, the road is relatively stable.

It's just that once these 3,000 men and horses enter Yingchuan County, they have to be extremely careful, and at this moment, Jin Jue is not sure that Cao Cao will not immediately send troops to attack the Yellow Turban Army that has been entrenched in Yingchuan and Runan to plunder military food. If they meet and can save a few of them, Lu Bu and the family members of the main general will be considered a great blessing.

This is also another important reason why Jin Jue suggested that Lu Bu lead elite troops to break into Yanzhou again and attack Chengshi County. In fact, even if Jin Jue didn't inform Chen Gong and Lu Bu of this reason, these two people also thought of it.

At this time, Lü Bu led elite troops to attack Yanzhou, first, it could disrupt Cao Cao's military plan and deployment, second, it could delay Cao Cao's attack on Nanyang or Xuzhou as much as possible, and third, it was actually Lü Bu's army saving itself.

Fortunately, I don't know if it was the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, or the luck of Jin Jue and his party, in short, along the way, let alone Cao Jun, they didn't even have a thief or Yellow Turban Army who dared to rob them along the way.

When I entered Yingchuan County, the same was true.

Jin Jue doesn't know that this is the so-called helping others and helping themselves. He had previously reminded Liu Bei to send people to either surrender or inform the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan County and Runan County that Cao Cao would send troops to recruit them.

At the beginning, Liu Bei was still a little resistant to this matter, after all, the Yellow Turban Army has always stood on the opposite side of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he is an official, and the other party is just a thief, which is really not a match.

But Jin Jue unceremoniously told Liu Bei that Cao Cao's army was now because of a lack of food, so he would send someone to buy Hao Meng, and even Cao Bao, and play a big game to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and he didn't spend a single soldier, so that Xuzhou was immediately involved in civil strife. If Liu Bei is looking forward to the future, once Cao Cao takes more food from these Yellow Turban Army, then there is a high probability that his next target will change and go straight to Xuzhou.

After all, if Cao Cao's biggest enemy today is neither the ambitious Liu Biao, nor Zhang Xiu, who has a foothold in Nanyang County, but it is he Liu Bei.

Therefore, Liu Bei will go to Xiaopei for a while, on the one hand, he personally took and immediately went to Guangling to invite Lu Su, and on the other hand, he sent someone to secretly inform the Yellow Turban Army of the two counties, so that they could temporarily avoid Cao Cao's troops.

If this is changed to other princes, the Yellow Turban Army of the two counties may not be taken seriously, but Cao Cao, who carried out a massacre in Xuzhou, can be regarded as scaring the counties and counties around Xuzhou.

The Yellow Turban leaders of Yingchuan County, He Yi, Huang Shao and He Man, immediately led their troops to flee from Yingchuan County, and all fled to Huainan. At this time, Yuan Shu was newly defeated, and there was a shortage of major generals, and it was the time when there was a shortage of manpower, as soon as he heard the news, he immediately sent someone to seal the county order where the three of them were stationed.

However, the Yellow Turban Army in Runan, Liu Bi and Gong Du chose to stay in Runan temporarily, because they had promised to take this opportunity to join Liu Bei, and when Liu Bei freed up his hand and led the troops to patrol Runan, they would be taken away together.

Anyway, none of the two Yellow Turban armies were willing to surrender to Cao Cao. Not to mention the affairs of Xuzhou, Cao Cao relied on the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to get home, and in that battle, he killed the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army with one force compared to the people killed in Xuzhou, and there was not much difference.

The leaders of the Yellow Turban Army in the two counties knew this, and even if they were willing to surrender to Cao Cao, this one would not necessarily accept them.

Therefore, after Jin Jue entered Yingchuan County all the way, all the counties were guarding the gates, but none of them dared to send troops to test or stop them.

At this time, it is already very difficult and not easy for the counties in Yingchuan County that have not been broken by the Yellow Turban Army or other princes to protect themselves, who will offend this army of unknown origin for no reason?

On this day, when the army was resting, Chen Gong and the other three came hand in hand to the carriage where Jin Jue was.

"Jue'er, there's good news, bad news, guess what's the content?" As soon as Chen Gong met, he wanted to take the exam for this kid's ability, and he always suspected in his heart that Jin Jue had not displayed all his talents so far.

Looking at the faces of the three of them, Jin Jue didn't think about it, so he replied: "Hehehe, the three of you have worked hard." Chen Junshi, you can let the kid guess, it's okay, but if the kid guesses wrong, you can laugh casually, as long as you don't punish the kid. If the kid guessed correctly, you laughed it off. ”

Without waiting for Chen Gong to answer, Jin Jue continued: "Let's talk about the bad news first!" There must have been a mistake between General Cheng and General Song, and I guess that on the first night they set out to camp and rest, the Huainan soldiers ran half or a third of the way at once. As for the good news, Wen Hou's sneak attack on Chengshi County was not only successful, but this time he must have stabbed the arrogant Liu Jin. Three, yes and no? ”

Actually, Jin Jue's last question was a bit redundant, looking at the faces of the three of them, you knew that Jin Jue guessed correctly this time.

Wei Xu was the first to ask, "Boy, how did you guess it?" ”

Chen Gong and Zhang Liao also nodded at the same time, they both had the same doubts in their hearts at this time.

Jin Jue laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, the three, especially Chen Junshi, the kid actually guessed from the expressions and demeanors of the three of you. Method? It's not worth mentioning when you say it.

The three of you, please think about it, Wen Hou divided his troops this time, and there were three ways in total.

If we really run into big trouble along the way, the three of you will either be as anxious as ants on a hot pot now, gathering together to discuss countermeasures, where will we have time to see the boy?

Then the rest must be a problem with the other two lines of soldiers. If there is a problem along the way with Wen Hou, General Wei will definitely raise his sword and kill our dead people on the spot as soon as possible, even if it is Chen Junshi and General Zhang, it is not good for you to come forward to protect us on this matter.

After ruling out these two possibilities, only the Huainan soldiers in the middle remained. ”

"What is this method called, it is really exquisite." Hearing this, Chen Gong nodded, wiping the short beard under his chin, and admired it thoughtfully.

"This method is called the method of elimination, but the premise is to understand all the circumstances of your own side." Jin Jue introduced.

"But, even so, how can you guess the approximate number of those Huainan soldiers who fled?" Wei Xu seemed to be a little disbelieving, and asked a little unwillingly.

What Jin Jue said just now guessed the time and approximate number of the Central Route Army's escape very accurately, and the Huainan soldiers fled one after another after camping on the first night.

This is also the fundamental reason why the three of them were so surprised after listening to Jin Jue's words.

Jin Jue still replied with a smile: "Hehehe, in fact, I still guessed." I have to say that General Zhang and General Song were still relatively old and spicy when they were selecting soldiers at that time. Most of the Huainan soldiers selected by the two of you are veterans in their thirties and forties, while young adults in their teens and twenties are rarely selected.

According to the boy's guess, most of the soldiers who escaped were young people, or some soldiers who were homesick or homesick. On the contrary, those veterans have been soldiers for a long time. They may all be mixed up with soldiers, and they know how to save their lives on the battlefield. Therefore, they all understand a truth - at this time, the soldiers who choose to escape from the army can really answer Huainan, very few people, even if some people are lucky enough to survive, but what about their families?

Yuan Shu acted perversely in Huainan and rashly proclaimed himself emperor, offending the princes of the whole world. What's more, he didn't provoke the people, he didn't make anything, he just blindly exploited the people, and the people of Huainan would starve to death because of this, or they had to cross the Yangtze River and take refuge in Jiangdong or Jingzhou. In short, if Yuan Shu didn't die, the Huainan soldiers and people would be forced to die by him sooner or later.

Alas, the princes are strife, and in the end, it is the people of the Han Dynasty who are paying for their desires! ”

However, in the end, he couldn't help but sigh and sigh.

"Brother Jue, if these Huainan soldiers run together, how can they not run back to Huainan?" At this time, Jin Wei was a little angry and asked puzzledly.

It was rare that Wei Xu agreed with Jin Jue's point of view for the first time in front of others, he glanced at Jin Wei and said unceremoniously: "You kid, you are far worse than your brother." In the final analysis, they were just ordinary soldiers, and when they fled, they had no food or grass and no heavy weapons. The counties along the way saw that they were stragglers, and even the counties controlled by Yuan Shu did not dare to open the door to take them in.

Besides, don't really think that you kid will be too peaceful along the way. If it weren't for General Zhang and I showing our kung fu along the way, we would have deterred thieves and small groups of Yellow Turbans along the way. Those Huainan soldiers who escaped will either starve to death, or will be defeated and absorbed by other small forces, where will they have a chance to go home at this time! ”

"Big brother, General Wei is right, he has been following us, they may not be able to return to Huainan in this life, and there will definitely be casualties, but most of the soldiers will still survive. Those who can escape, their end is already doomed. Jin Jue explained.

"Boy, we're almost on the northern border of Yingchuan County, you see, should we stop and wait for them here, or keep going." At this time, Chen Gong really explained his intention.
