Chapter 201: Night Attack (I)

This time, there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Beihai brought by Yan Shao, except for the 3,000 newly recruited recruits, the rest could be called elite. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even if he competes with the Xiliang Army or other border armies in the same number, Yan Shao's confidence will never fall into disadvantage―――――― of course, the most important thing that makes him have this kind of confidence is a few fierce generals under his account.

With such a few generals, I believe that no matter who they are, they will be full of confidence.

What's more, in addition to the four people of Huang, Zhao, Gan and Taishi, there are also fierce generals such as Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Wu Anguo and Sun Guan. In terms of the lineup of military generals alone, Yan Shao is no longer inferior to any prince in the world today, which is also Yan Shao's greatest capital in troubled times.

With these generals, plus more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yan Shao's hands, it is not difficult to break the 100,000 yellow turbans in front of him.

100,000 yellow scarves, or more than 100,000, it seems that it is really not a few, but in fact, only 30,000 or 50,000 of them can be used.

It's just that...

"It's easy to win, but if you want to eat it in one bite..."

After listening to the conversation between Yan Shao and Dong Zhao, even if he was as dull as Guan Hai, he knew what Yan Shao's true intentions were. I have to say that Yan Shao's ambition is indeed very big, if he can eat the 100,000 yellow scarves, it will be a great thing for Yan Shao himself and others, but how to eat it is the biggest problem at present...

Among the generals, such as Guan Hai and Zhou Cang, they were all reckless, and they all kept silent.

Even Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others are brave and strategic, and in the face of such a problem, they don't know what to do.

After a long while, I heard Gan Ning, who was sitting next to him, speak. "What if General Sun led his more than 1,000 people to attack Xu He's lair? The nest was attacked, these yellow turbans must be panicked, I waited to defeat them a few times in front of them, and when they were homeless, it might be useful to appease them..."

Hearing this plan, Yan Shao's eyes lit up, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood that this plan was not feasible.

Noticing this, Gan Ning felt a little strange in his heart, and before he could figure out why, he heard that Dong Zhao next to him had already opened his mouth to explain.

"General Gan's strategy is clever, but I'm afraid it's not feasible to deal with these thieves..."After saying that, Dong Zhao looked at the puzzled people in front of him, shook his head and continued. The so-called yellow scarves are actually some rogues, and what kind of nests can the rogues have, even if there are one or two temporary places to live, they will be abandoned when necessary, without the slightest attachment, even if such a lair is destroyed, what can be shaken for the yellow scarves in front of them? ”

The so-called yellow turbans are basically thieves who have been wandering around, there is no doubt about this. Maybe this was not the case when Zhang Jiao founded Taiping Dao at the beginning, but with Zhang Jiao's death, Taiping Dao completely weakened, and that's it.

Nowadays, there is still a solid base, except for Zhang Yan in Montenegro, there are really very few.

Even Zhang Yan has countless nests in the Black Mountain, and it is really impossible to say which one is his real lair, this kind of behavior that has no point and no weakness except for breaking itself is the most troublesome place for the Yellow Turban, and it is also one of the reasons why the officials and soldiers have always been unable to exterminate them.

A bunch of rogues, even if you break their lair, what's the use? For them, as long as they can build a nest, which is not their lair?

Gan Ning would come up with this strategy, purely based on his experience with water thieves in the past. The water thieves and the yellow turbans are indeed rogues, but the gap is staggering. One of the most important points is that the water thieves have a fixed nest, because they need to hide their looted goods in the nest, and it is impossible to carry them with them to do business―――――― and to rob with ships of gold and silver, it is really not a business.

But what about the rogue? For them, anything other than the food they carry is of no use, even the so-called gold, silver, and jewelry. Even if it's worth a lot of money, what's the use of it for them? Can you still swallow it to fill your stomach?

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

I have to say that this is indeed a problem for the current people.

It's really easy to break, and he doesn't even need to break it, as long as Xu He feels that the casualties are too big and not cost-effective, he will inevitably retreat. But in that case, not to mention fighting for both sides, even if Yan Shao wins, he will lose, and his plan to swallow these yellow scarves in front of him will be completely frustrated.

"Maybe there's another way..."After pondering for a long time, Dong Zhao spoke. If you can drive these people to a dead end, you may be able to recruit them..."

"Thisβ€”" Yan Shao asked hesitantly. What is a dead end? ”

Yan Shao didn't think there was any desperation for these yellow scarves in front of him, 100,000 people, even if he didn't seem to pay much attention to what he said. In fact, it is not easy to solve it, the kind of thing that disappears between talking and laughing usually only appears in poems or fairy tales, and he still wants to face the reality.

This time, Dong Zhao came prepared, and when he heard Yan Shao's words, he just said two words lightly. "Grain and grass..."

Hearing this, Yan Shao finally understood what Dong Zhao meant.

It's just clear that what to do...

For any army, grain and grass are the most important things, and they are also the most solid. For example, during the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao sent Chun Yuqiong, who had followed him the longest time and was also his most trusted, to manage the problem of grain and grass. It's a pity that in the end, Yuan Shao was defeated in Guandu, and because of this, he lost the possibility of unifying the world.

Otherwise, to be honest, Yuan Shao may not be able to cross the Yangtze River―――――― in terms of ability or aspect, Yuan Shao is indeed inferior to Cao Cao, but when it comes to family background and influence, it is different.

The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family have great influence even in Jiangdong. When Cao Cao unified the north, it had already caused a number of civil officials in Jiangdong to think about surrendering and competing to be the leading party, but it was still when Cao Cao's reputation was not good.

If it is Yuan Shao, there will only be more of the leading party.

Coupled with the factor of time, there is no need to find a way to defeat Yuan Shao's remaining sons like Cao Cao, at least a few years of time can be saved. In a few years, Sun Guan's rule in Jiangdong may not be stable...

Of course, considering Zhou Yu's loyalty to Sun Quan, or the deceased Sun Ce, there are also a number of veterans in Jiangdong. Yuan Shao himself is a character who always likes to make random moves, and it is still difficult to say what the final result will be, and maybe he can repeat the ending of Chibi again.

However, the most important thing at the moment is grain and grass, for the yellow scarf, which is already short of food, grain and grass are much more important than human life, and its grain and grass will definitely be placed in the most critical position.

No matter how strong Yan Shao's soldiers and horses are, if he wants to kill all the way to the position where the Yellow Turban Tun is stocked with grain and grass, it is inevitably too unrealistic―――――― with such strength, why don't Yan Shao just wrap these Yellow Turbans.

But...

As if remembering something, Yan Shao's gaze became a little deeper...

"It's not necessarily impossible..."

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

In the following period, Yan Shao and Xu He fought endlessly, and almost every time they returned with big victories, only once or twice because of the loss in numbers, and the small defeat for a while.

However, Xu He was unmoved by this, with the strength in his hands, he could not say that he had been defeated a few times, even if he doubled it, he would not be able to hurt his muscles and bones. What really worried him was morale, but after taking a few of his subordinates outside, Xu He found that the situation was much better than he thought.

The morale he feared did not go wrong.

At least not as serious as he imagined, the successive defeats did affect morale, but their numerical advantage was no joke after all. Even if there are heavy casualties, they haven't been defeated, have they?

These are not the most important, the most important is the issue of food.

Since they wanted Xu He to help them fight, the people of the other counties, including Wang Xuan, needed to bleed. Unlike Yan Shao's Beihai, the situation in Le'an and several other counties is somewhat complicated, and no county has reached the level of a single word like Yan Shao, such as Wang Xuan and others are nominally county guards, but in fact they are still subject to others in the county, and their rights are always limited.

Even so, the four counties worked together to supply a considerable amount of grain and grass to Xu He.

For the yellow turbans, they are not very afraid of death, at least they are not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but they are even more afraid of being starved to death. As in the past, he starved every day, and was driven by the leaders above to plunder the city and fill the moat with his human life. It's better to be as dangerous as it is now, at least you can eat enough.

This situation made Xu He breathe a sigh of relief, but it also made him pay more attention to the grain and grass in the camp.

Now the 100,000-strong army can continue to hold on, purely because there is enough grain and grass in the camp to continue to support them, and even let them have a rare full meal. But if this food is gone, I am afraid that the army of 100,000 will be wiped out in an instant.

"It's just, Dashuai..." Looking at the camp opposite, one of Xu He's cronies came over and couldn't help but speak. If the stalemate continues, we and Yan Shao are afraid that we will both lose. For the sake of the grain and grass promised by those dog officials, I'm afraid that there will be some..."

The other leaders gathered around listened and nodded their heads in agreement.

In fact, the cronies would open their mouths like this, and they also instigated them.

Seeing their expressions, Xu He sighed slightly, and he didn't know what they were thinking.

Among his subordinates, few of them are greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just that in their opinion, it is too worthless to fight for those princes. It would be good if Yan Shao could be defeated, but now the situation is a little complicated, and the two soldiers and horses are bleeding each other at the junction of Beihai and Le'an. Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are certainly strong, but it is not a matter of going on like this. If you end up with a lose-lose situation, you will inevitably lose money.

In the eyes of many people, they have blocked Yan Shao for so long, and they have already done their best, even if they withdraw to the lair at this time, no one can say anything.

It was only because they were worried that Xu He would be angry that they brought out an unlucky guy to speak their minds.

If it's for the sake of Taipingdao, even if it's the last one, they won't regret it, but for the sake of those damned princes, it's...

You must know that they will be reduced to become rogues, but it is all thanks to these people, compared to them, even the Yan Shao on the opposite side is much cuter, at least Yan Shao has never bullied the people, and the people under his rule are also healthy.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

In fact, not only the leaders under him, but even Xu He himself was thinking about this issue.

Take people's money and eliminate disasters with others, but it seems that it is enough to fight to this extent. And they will come to find Yan Shao's trouble this time, also to nip this danger in the bud. It's just that I didn't expect this Yan Shao to really live up to his reputation, and it was so difficult to deal with it to this point, and in the end, not only did he fail to strangle this sprout, but he fell into a predicament.

But just going back like this is not what Xu He wants...

One is inevitably a little anticlimactic, and he has a grudge against Yan Shao in vain. And without his own control, this Yan Shao will definitely wave his troops immediately, and it won't be long before the entire Qingzhou will be under his control, will there be room for their Qingzhou Yellow Turban to survive at that time?

Thinking of this, Xu He had an idea in his heart.

"I see what you mean, but I want to make one last stand..."

"What do you mean?" The cronies next to him didn't seem to understand a little, and hurriedly asked.

During this time, they have learned enough, and their brothers in the army have suffered heavy casualties. Of course, if there is a chance to avenge their brothers, they will not refuse, but is there really such an opportunity?

"I've decided to attack tomorrow night..."

There is obviously no way to attack the frontal attack, and now if you want to break through the opponent's defenses, the only way is to attack at night.

In many cases, night raids can be said to have a decisive effect, as long as they can be successful, they can almost decide the battle. This is why many generals like to use the method of night attack, one is because of its suddenness, and the other is that the effect is excellent.

"Winning repeatedly, at this time, Yan Shao is only afraid that his spirit is high, and he may not be able to do anything to take precautions, tomorrow I will wait for the night attack, once it is successful, it will be a big victory!" Xu He's gaze was obviously much firmer, as the most loyal believer of Taiping Dao, he was no longer willing to wander around as usual. In that way, how can we carry forward the Taiping Dao and the concept of great sages and good teachers?

Naturally, he is not willing to fight all the capital in his hands for a group of mediocre officials, but he still hopes to make a last stand.

"No!" Inside the tent, the other leaders listened and clenched their fists in unison.

Xu He nodded with satisfaction and cleared his throat. "Wait for the middle of the night tomorrow, a certain general will order 3,000 elite soldiers to attack Yan Shao at night, Brother Zhang, Brother Ai, you will go with me!"

The two men whose names were called stood up. "Yes!"

Looking at the banner displayed outside, a trace of pride rose in Xu He's heart.
