Chapter 237: The Sky Is Not Dead, the Yellow Sky Destroys First—27
Suning's killer move is more complicated to use. This also starts from his observation of Zhang Bao, the Zhang Bao in front of him is obviously more powerful than the words and historical records, the reason for this situation is probably because in history, he does not have enough conditions to exert all his strength, but now, the situation has obviously changed a lot, such as in the previous strategy, his delicate mind and strict strategy, it has made Suning suffer a lot of losses, although Suning 1510 returned the order, but he still feels that this opponent is a little difficult to deal with. Because there seems to be an element called caution in the blood of this person.
However, cautious people also have their weaknesses, and Suning knows that after this strong blow, he will definitely shrink his defense and seek a place where he can take advantage of the terrain to set up camp, if that's the case, Suning will have a chance to use his killer weapon.
Therefore, Suning immediately conveyed an order, asking his troops to stop attacking and instead use attack tactics to deal with the enemy army.
However, this order was not carried out in the first place, and many of his generals were puzzled by this, after all, yay! After launching the attack, they have already gained a large advantage, and if they continue to persist in the attack, the enemy may not be able to hold out for long. He said that it would be a pity to stop the attack at this time, and the soldiers who had just paid a huge number of casualties were probably not very happy in their hearts.
Even Huangfu Song, who launched an attack from the other side, sent people to express his dissatisfaction, but Suning insisted on his own opinion and forced his subordinates to withdraw from the battle! Huangfu Song, who was lonely, naturally refused to fall into a one-sided bitter battle, and then he also led his army to withdraw from the battle.
However, Huangfu Song's heart was full of dissatisfaction, and then he appeared in Suning's military tent, and scolded Suning's order to withdraw the army, but Suning explained unhurriedly: "The reason why this is done is to avoid excessive casualties among the soldiers under the tent, after this battle, Zhang Bao, who is looking for and is not cautious, will definitely lead his men to slowly retreat to a relatively safe place, at least there should be a terrain that can be used to defend, if there is more than that, We can blow up the mountains with gunpowder, and defeat them with rocks alone, and if they are in the middle of a valley, we can break the embankment and fill them with water, and come to him because of the Yellow Turbans. ”
When Huangfu Song heard this, he also felt that it made sense, and the old subordinates he brought out from Beidi County were left after a series of battles.
He also didn't want to see his old subordinates, so they gradually withered. Out of subjective emotional considerations, he can't bear the pain of losing his old comrades-in-arms, and out of consideration for his future political career, he also hopes that there will be more experienced military talents who can stay by his side, after all, there has been a rebellion in Liangzhou at this time, and the main candidates for quelling the rebellion are still him and Suning around him.
Therefore, Huangfu Song finally left in a huff, he couldn't help but accept Suning's suggestion, and the next facts also proved that she was right to accept Suning's suggestion.
Rengong General Zhang Bao did lose this battle, slowly left Xiaquyang, he was obviously ready to go to a slightly safer place, with the help of the terrain to continue to breathe, if he could, he hoped to be able to go to a place where the Yellow Turban Army had an advantage, but in the previous stage of the battle, Suning had eliminated the nearby Yellow Turban Army reinforcements, these two Zhang Bao's plan quickly failed, so he could only find a place where the terrain was relatively favorable to him, however, even with this correct decision, He also needs to be careful, because Huangfu Song and Suning's army have always followed him in this process, and it is obvious that once he makes any mistake, it may give the other party an excellent opportunity to attack him, and in the middle of the move, his defense system cannot be completely deployed, so once the attack begins, it means that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army under his command will be completely finished.
Then Suning obviously did not prepare to attack in advance, although the other party experienced a big defeat, but the losses they caused to Suning were not small, although the disparity between the two sides in terms of strength was greatly reduced, but Suning and Huangfu Song were not sure to achieve a decisive advantage in the positional war, so they just cautiously followed behind each other, just put on a posture of attacking, but never prepared to fight to the death with the other party!
This situation has not changed for a long time, even if the Son of Heaven in Luoyang has become impatient with the tactics of the two of them, and neither Suning nor Huangfu Song has lost their original patience under the urging of the Son of Heaven.
It wasn't until Zhang Bao and his subordinates came to the north bank of the Yellow River and found a valley that was not too steep, and settled down, that the whole situation changed slightly.
Suning and Huangfu Song went to observe the terrain of the Yellow Turban Army's garrison together, and there was not much military experience in going to the Yellow Turban Army after cutting, a valley like this is not a good choice for stationing troops, Huangfu Zheng immediately showed a crazy smile, he had obviously thought about how to deal with this group of Yellow Turban Army! As for Suning, this plan was prepared at the beginning.
Like Guan Yu, he will not let go of the opportunity to flood the Seventh Army. Perhaps Zhang Bao thought that the safety of the military camps in the valley could be ensured by placing observation posts on the peaks on both sides of the valley, but the fact is that some forms of attacks, even if they are discovered by the observation posts, cannot be completely evaded.
The excited Huangfu Song advocated digging the Yellow River and eliminating the last main force of the Yellow Turban Army here, Suning did not express any objection to his plan, but he was not in a hurry to do anything. He will leave the credit for this war to Huangfu Song, after all, all he needs is a small Liangzhou pastor! With the battle under Gwangjong Castle, he had been able to achieve this goal. But there are other credits, which have nothing to do with him, not to mention the fact that such things as digging up the Yellow River may not necessarily be exchanged for pure credit. Speaking of which, he also has pity for the people of Hebei, after the catastrophe caused by the Yellow Turban Army, they have to face the pain caused by this war, perhaps most of them should follow him back to Liangzhou in the future to build a new homeland.
The yellow water soon rushed in, and Suning had already led his column and quietly left the battlefield, Zhang Bao suddenly realized his mistake when he received the news, but it was already too late.
Huangfu Song was full of confidence in this battle, and he had already sent someone to send a battle report before the flood washed over. He knew that the Son of Heaven who was waiting for Luoyang had been waiting for the news for a long time.
Suning is more inclined to tell the people of Hebei and Henan the news! Those Yellow Turban Rebels who roared that the sky was dead and the yellow sky was standing have now been basically wiped out, and their homeland will return to calm in the future, of course, this peaceful land is not necessarily still suitable for farming, Suning has begun to recruit displaced people to go to Liangzhou to reclaim the wasteland, but before returning, he has to visit his old friend, the guy named Zhang Jiao.
He didn't set up any tombstone for this old friend, but Zhang Niujiao, a loyal believer of Zhang Jiao, set up a tombstone for his mentor, and Suning led his guards to rush there and briefly say a few words to his old friend. Behind him, Zhang Niujiao silently watched everything. He did not die on the battlefield in this catastrophe, but after the war was over, he was ready to accompany his mentor through the rest of his life.
Suning originally wanted to take him to Liangzhou, but was rejected by the other party. Suning knew that she had a strong relationship with the teacher, so she didn't force him. It's just that there are some pity for that Zhang Jiao's great ambition, and the mission of overthrowing the Han court may only be completed by himself. As for what color the heavens are, for now, the sky is still there, and the yellow sky has been extinguished first. As for whether Suning will dye the sky with other colors in the future, it depends on Suning's mood.
