Chapter 185: Zicheng is blocked
Xu De shouted, and immediately turned the horse's head and wanted to withdraw the army.
But this is still the case in the Yellow Turban camp, and there is no half of the waves.
And so a strange picture emerges, where the two sides fight each other, and then each flees in different directions, as if they both think that the other is the winner.
It wasn't until Xu De kept retreating that he found out that something was wrong, if there was really an ambush, he would have come out a long time ago, and it was impossible to give him a chance to escape, not to mention that no one was chasing after him at all.
Thinking of this, after a little contemplation, he immediately sent a detachment of men and horses back to investigate, and then led a large army to meet him.
After some investigation, there was no ambush, and the entire Yellow Turban camp was empty, and even the grain and grass were all gone.
Xu De's face was flushed, but fortunately it was at night so he was not seen.
"It's burning!"
At the sound of an order, everyone lit torches one after another, and the Yellow Turban Camp was cleaned up.
Xu De was depressed in his heart, and was scared half to death by an empty camp.
But he had already guessed that the other party was doing this on purpose, that is, under the guise of using the empty camp as a pretext to make the people in the city dare not mess around, and then go to deal with the troops behind.
In addition to these in Linzi City, what kind of troops can the entire Qi County have? I can think of it with my ass.
But Xu De couldn't understand how a mere 100-strong army, even if it recruited more than 1,000 soldiers to die in the local area, how could the Yellow Turban Army be so enthusiastic and set up an empty camp to concentrate on dealing with it?
'Gong Jing, this waste, we are all looked down upon by the yellow turban thief, waste! Rubbish! ’
Xu De kept roaring in his heart, eager to rush back and slap Gong Jing twice.
But this kind of thing just thinks about it, and it still can't be done.
Since there was a sneak attack on an empty camp, there was no point in staying.
In desperation, Xu De could only return to the city with his people.
"I can't sleep well, and you don't want to sleep well."
Xu De was unhappy in his heart and decided to call Gong Jing up.
At this time, Gong Jing was sleeping soundly, but he was called up by his close henchmen.
He opened his eyes in a daze and asked unhappily, "What's the matter?" Didn't the thieves come over? ”
The henchman said when he heard this.
"Lord, Captain Xu asked to see him, saying that he had an urgent military situation to report."
Gong Jing was shocked when he heard this, and immediately came to his senses.
If the thieves came, Xu De could not say that it was an emergency military situation, and there must have been something wrong with the emergency military situation, so it would be strange if he was not nervous.
"Quick, change my clothes."
Seeing Xu De, Gong Jing immediately asked, "What happened?" ”
Xu De's face was grim, and he arched his hand towards Gong Jing and said, "My lord, the thieves have retreated." ”
"Well, back to... Well? ”
Halfway through the words, Gong Jing was stunned, and then asked uncertainly, "What did you just say?" ”
"The thieves retreated."
"Retreat!"
Gong Jing was surprised and delighted, and his heart was full of complicated.
"Why retreat? Where did you retreat? But what tricks are you going to use? ”
Xu De said in embarrassment, "I don't know about this, it's just that I wanted to take someone to investigate tonight, but I didn't expect the thief camp to be empty." I desperately moved forward, but the camp was empty, and even the grain and grass were carried in a hurry. ”
Hearing this, Gong Jing frowned, hesitated for a while, and said, "What does this mean between you?" ”
"I should have gone somewhere else to plunder."
"Hmm." Gong Jing also agreed with Xu De's words, and then hesitated for a moment and said, "You immediately send someone to find Chu Fei and order him to quickly recruit soldiers and lead the troops." ”
"Your Excellency!"
Gong Jing's words naturally made Xu De unhappy.
Xu De didn't guess what the Yellow Turban Army did, even if he really went to fight somewhere else, it would never be possible to send out all the people in the brigade, and it was only possible to do this kind of thing if the rear was in trouble.
Although he didn't think that Chu Fei really had that ability to let the Yellow Turban Army team fight against it desperately, but he was not afraid of 10,000 just in case, is this guy doing impossible things?
Often the person who knows you best is not yourself, let alone a brother, a parent, or a confidant, but an enemy.
Although Xu De and Chu Fei belong to the same party, they have formed a mortal enmity in private, at least Xu De thinks so.
He regarded Chu Fei as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and tried his best to crush him, but he was always ridden on his head by Chu Fei, and he was riding on the head of him, the captain, in a humble capacity, which was something Xu De couldn't bear.
Therefore, even if there is a one-in-10,000 chance that Chu Fei will benefit, then he is unwilling to do it.
"My lord! Far water does not quench the thirst of the near, and the chief of Chu Tun is probably too busy to take care of himself now, Zicheng has not been killed yet, it is better to let me take a team of people to Zicheng, one can support each other with the momentum of Linzi into a corner, the second can recruit troops and buy horses in Zicheng, and the third can also inquire about the news of the thieves, and then you can also get in touch with the chief of Chu Tun. ”
After these words, Gong Jing suddenly felt a little moved.
He hesitated for a long time, Xu Desheng was afraid that Gong Jing would veto, so he hurriedly continued: "My lord, do the thieves have to rely on King Qi for the rest of their lives? The King of Qi is also a temporary recruit, why don't we take this opportunity to quickly recruit troops to suppress the Yellow Turbans? ”
"That's fine."
Gong Jing was finally persuaded by Xu De, and then ordered, "I will order you to go to Zicheng to recruit, and if there is an opportunity to lead troops to attack and destroy them." ”
"Whoa! Thank you, sir. ”
Xu De was overjoyed and happily took the order.
It is said that after Chu Fei returned to Kunshan County, he did not see Zang Ba coming, but during the time he left, the army expanded extremely rapidly, and there were already 3,500 troops.
After a day of repair, Chu Fei left Guan Hai to lead a thousand men and horses to defend the city, and he led the rest of the men and horses to Linzi.
But as soon as he was halfway there, he saw the rat hurriedly come to report, saying that the Yellow Turban Army was divided.
Chu Fei knew that the other party was afraid of himself, so he specially sent troops and horses to deal with him.
But before he could engage the Yellow Turban Army, the mouse sent someone back to send back the news, saying that the Yellow Turban Army had left the barracks, and more than 10,000 men and horses had left at night and were missing.
While Chu Fei sighed at the rat's strong ability to do things, he was also shocked.
You must know that the Yellow Turban Army attacking Linzi has a total of less than 20,000 people, and a wave of men and horses has been sent before, and more than 10,000 people have left at this time, what kind of trouble is this?
Of course, even if there is no news of the mouse, Chu Fei has already received a hint of contacting the attack, and it is obvious that he has become the target of the Yellow Turban Army.
After knowing this, Chu Fei hesitated, and did not dare to lead his troops forward to fight the Yellow Turban, so he found a dangerous place to set up camp.
The Yellow Turban Army did not disappoint him, and after seeing that he was no longer moving forward, he immediately led his troops to fight, but after a battle, he hastily withdrew his troops.
After a few days in a row, a large force of the Yellow Turban Army appeared and besieged Chu Fei on the mountain.
With the advantage of the high ground, Chu Fei temporarily repelled the other party, but the situation was still critical.
