"Xiu Ming don't have to worry, the Yellow Turban thieves are just a rabble, this point Xiu Ming should be clear, with Xiu Ming's ability, he will definitely be able to contain the main force of Zhao Hong, I will cross the river with all my strength at that time, and I will ensure that Ming is fine!" After leaving the Chinese army camp, when Ye Zhao and Yuan Shao handed over the soldiers and horses of the Yue cavalry battalion, Yuan Shao comforted.

"I have my original intentions, but that Huangfu Song treats me like a thorn in his side, how can he let me pass the test so easily?" Ye Zhao patted Yuan Shao's shoulder and said in a low voice: "I know that Liu Bi and Gong are afraid that they are the original internal response, when they attacked Geling, they were already aware of it, and they were relieved at the beginning, you know and I know about this matter, and no one else will know, but these two shadows are not a last resort, do not show them, otherwise it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was shocked and looked at Ye Zhao in shock, until Ye Zhao finished speaking, Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Ye Zhao and said in a low voice: "When you asked Yu to guard Xicheng that day, you wanted to let these two people go?" ”

"Well, but it's also because of the lack of troops." Ye Zhao nodded quietly and said: "It's just that the Yuan family is directly involved in the Taiping Sect, but Zhao never thought that this method was too dangerous, and when these two people were released, they also took into account the attitude of the Yuan family, but Zhao thought that today, when Nanyang City is broken, these two people are no longer worthless, but will become the handle of the Yuan family, and when the time comes, Zhao is gone, and he should try to get rid of these two people in the first place, so as to prevent future troubles!" ”

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, hugged his fist at Ye Zhao and said: "Xiu Ming rest assured, Shao Ding should remember Xiu Ming's words, Xiu Ming should not be too worried, General Huangfu may have some misunderstanding in Xiuming, but he will never declare a personal vendetta, if he is really like this, Shao Ding will truthfully report this matter to the imperial court." ”

"Farewell, I'll send someone to transfer troops and horses later, and the war will start tomorrow, I should deploy one or two first, so as not to start the war tomorrow, and then mess up!" Ye Zhao hugged his fist at Yuan Shao.

"Take care!" Yuan Shao also nodded fiercely.

"Ding Li, go to the Yuecai camp immediately, I have discussed with Yuan Shao, after you transfer the Yuecai camp, immediately go to the east bank to gather, plus my troops and horses, a total of 5,000 people, but we have to set up a camp of 20,000 people!" Back in his military camp, Ye Zhao immediately mobilized the generals and handed over the Yue Cavalry Battalion Talisman to Ding Lidao.

"Whoa!" Ding Li agreed, bluffing this kind of thing, for the generals under Ye Zhao's command, practice makes perfect, Ding Li is not the first time to do this kind of thing, there is no need for Ye Zhao to teach him the details, he took the talisman at the moment, saluted Ye Zhao, turned around and left.

"Lord, didn't you say that I won't wait to grab credit?" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously, all the generals present were Ye Zhao's henchmen, so there was no need to shy away from it, and asked directly.

"I don't want to grab merit, but this time it may not be a meritorious service, we are being used as bait to attract the main force of the Yellow Turban on the other side to attack, and cover the main army of Huangfu Song to cross the water." Ye Zhao sighed, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

"By the way, what about Liu Bei?" Ye Zhao saw that there was no figure of Liu Bei and the three of them in the tent, and said suspiciously.

"I was ordered to escort grain and grass in the morning, and I haven't come back yet, so I should have returned to the camp at this time." Qiu Chi said.

"Quickly summon the three of his brothers to the meeting." A sneer flashed in Ye Zhao's eyes, this is stubborn and stubborn, he needs warriors, he never thinks of himself as a warrior, it just so happens that the three brothers are eager to make meritorious contributions, so they gave them this opportunity.

Soon, the three Liu Bei brothers entered the account proudly, and seeing that all the generals under Ye Zhao's command had arrived, they couldn't help but salute Ye Zhao apologetically: "The general forgives the sin, Bei didn't arrive in time, and the generals have been waiting for a long time." ”

"It's okay, Xuande has just supervised the transportation of grain and grass, which is also an important task for our army, so there is no need to blame yourself." After Ye Zhao motioned for Liu Bei's three brothers to take a seat, he stood up and walked to the huge map hanging in the center of the tent, which he had just copied by virtue of his memory, he had the ability to never forget, as a disciple of Cai Yong, he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it was difficult for him to simply draw a map, plus the concept of cooperating with some modern military maps, it was more detailed than Huangfu Song's one in subtleties, and even recorded the speed of the water flow.

"This morning, General Huangfu convened all the generals to discuss and decided to launch an attack early tomorrow morning, and our army is responsible for the feint, and at the same time, it is also to attract the attention of the Yellow Turban thieves on the other side and cover the main army of General Huangfu to cross the river smoothly, so our group of men and horses has a great responsibility, and it can even be said that it is related to the success of this river crossing!"

Ye Zhao pointed to the position of the lower reaches of the river and said: "This is the location of our army to cross the river and feint, Yuan Shu has ordered someone to set up a beacon tower here, when the time comes, condescendingly, you can see the thief soldiers on the opposite bank, compared to the upstream, this is actually the most suitable place for the army to cross the river, and it is also the most strict place for the Yellow Turban Thief Army to garrison, the water is gentle, it is the calmest section of the whole river, the water area is two hundred steps wide, and it can be crossed in a quarter of an hour, but the Yellow Turban Thief will not let us cross the river smoothly, and will definitely send troops to obstruct it." ”

"And our army, in order to attract the main force of the Yellow Turban thieves on the other side, must show enough impact and oppressive force in order to attract all the main forces of the Yellow Turban thieves on the other side here. Ye Zhao's gaze slowly swept over the generals in the tent.

"This time, although our army is only responsible for feints, however, this general, Ye Zhao, since the northern land served as the order of Macheng, the enemy, cut the single Yu, transferred to the Central Plains, Pingliang State, broke Runan, did not taste a defeat, the former Danhan outside the mountain Hu Kou failed to let me lose, Runan 200,000 yellow turbans were killed by our turtle can not be retracted, can only run in embarrassment, today, although General Huangfu ordered our army to feint, but this general never knows what a feint is, since to fight, naturally to do his best, there is no feint to say, so, this battle, We have to force a breakthrough from the front! ”

Ye Zhao pointed to the location on the opposite bank on the map and said: "So, tomorrow, don't take it lightly because my department is just a feint attack, since you want to fight, you have to fight beautifully, before General Huangfu leads the army to arrive, land ashore, this is the first merit of the battle of Nanyang, I Ye Zhao wants!" ”

"Okay, that's relieving!" Zhang Fei raised his fist with some excitement when he heard this, and said with a smile: "When I was in the county, I often heard the deeds of the general to break the Hu people, and it is Zhang Fei's luck to be able to fight side by side with the general today!" ”

Liu Bei stood up, bowed and said, "General, have a question." ”

"Speak!" Ye Zhao nodded and said.

"The thief army is numerous, and our army is small, even if we force ourselves to cross the water, how can we gain a foothold on the other side?" Liu Bei bowed down and said: "You need to know that if the thief army adopts the strategy of attacking half-crossing, our army will fall into a dilemma. ”

Qiu Chi, Fang Yue and the others frowned slightly when they heard this, although the truth was this, but somehow, they always felt that Liu Bei had some meaning to find fault.

In fact, Liu Bei's approach is not difficult to understand, just like Ye Zhao chose to stand in the camp of the Son of Heaven, so he was obviously controlled by Huangfu Song, but he squeezed Huangfu Song everywhere, and Liu Bei previously worked for Lu Zhi, turned to all sides, and has always played soy sauce under the hands of the first hand, and now in Nanyang, although he was pulled into his army by Ye Zhao, but in his heart, Liu Bei was recommended by Lu Zhi to Huangfu Song, and consciously classified himself into the camp of Huangfu Song, so he did not buy Ye Zhao's kindness, the difference is that Ye Zhao has great merits in hand, On the Son of Heaven's side, there are also Cai Yong and Shichang who speak for him openly and secretly, and even Liu Bei's teacher Lu Zhi has a good impression of Ye Zhao because of the Pingliu Strategy, and Ye Zhao has the confidence to scare Emperor Fu Song.

And Liu Bei is more sad, although he has the heart to help Huang Fu Song, but unfortunately, from beginning to end, Huang Fu Song has never looked at him, and he can appear in the account that day, just because he brought Lu Zhi's letter that day, Huang Fu Song cut on Lu Zhi's face, and did not drive him out, so although Liu Bei wanted to help Huang Fu Song, he didn't have the confidence to be tough with Ye Zhao, so he could only try to pick some loopholes in Ye Zhao.

At this time, Liu Bei, although he already has the city government, but his political skills and vision are obviously not up to the height of the foundation of the Shu State in history, this little bit of thought naturally can't escape Ye Zhao's eyes, but at this time, Ye Zhao wants to use him, and he just shouldn't know.

"That's a good question, that's the key to this battle." Ye Zhao did not reprimand Liu Bei, but picked up a brush and sketched an arrow on the map.

"Now it is the height of summer, the southeast wind is the majority, I have asked the local old farmers, these two days, when the east wind is the mainstay, so the wind direction is so blowing, and our army crosses the water, the wind direction and the direction of the ship has a certain inclination, so if you want to accurately reach the enemy camp, when starting from this place, the wind and manpower cooperation, when you can land in this area, it is also the main defense line of the enemy camp along the coast."

"Fighting with the Yellow Turban, you should all have experience, the Yellow Turban is not much, the soldiers sleep at night, mostly lie on hay, not like our Han army, everyone has a camp tent to live, so even if the ground is wet, in the enemy camp, there must be a large amount of flammable hay, since ancient times, the weak defeat the strong, and borrow more water and fire, therefore, this time, the general also wants to borrow this fire to attack."

Ye Zhao took off the map and hung a sheepskin with the appearance of a boat drawn on it.

"The boat is a small ship, on this water, it can't go big boats, so this battle, mainly on the boat, the general boat can carry three to five soldiers, our army has two schools of men, about 5,000 people, if you want to press the whole army, at least a thousand boats, but the matter is in a hurry, I'm afraid that you can't collect so many ships."

"Water warfare, with bows and arrows as the mainstay, so, the general wants to change the tactics, a boat of three people, wear five straw men, when the enemy arrows, our soldiers hide behind the straw men to dodge, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, one can reduce casualties, two can also quickly approach the enemy camp, this batch, for the fire boat, need a brave general to lead the army, close to the enemy camp, ignite the fire boat, use the wind to push the fire boat into the enemy camp, and then the main force of our army through the fire boat barrier, close to the enemy camp, with fire arrows to project the enemy camp, ignite the enemy camp fire, our army can take advantage of the situation to land!"

"The lord's plan is wonderful!" When Fang Yue and the others heard this, their eyes lit up, Ye Zhao had obviously counted everything, according to Ye Zhao's playing style, there was a high possibility of success!

"If you have no dissenting intentions, you will act according to this plan, but this first battle requires a brave general, I don't know who is willing to lead the army to fight this first battle?" Ye Zhao looked at everyone and smiled.

"Lord, the last general is willing to go!" Guan Hai was the first to stand up.

"The lord is talking about brave generals, what are you doing when you stand up?" Dian Wei stood up, glared at Guan Hai, and then turned to Ye Zhao and smiled: "Lord, what do you think of the end?" ”

"General!" Seeing this, Liu Bei couldn't care about anything else, this is a great achievement, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the three of them were first sent to Jizhou by Liu Yan, and then from Jizhou to Yingchuan, and then sent to Jizhou, and then sent to Nanyang, carefully calculated, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been half a year, but most of the three of their brothers are on the way to the battlefield, Liu Bei is now, very eager to make meritorious contributions to prove himself.

"That's it!" Seeing that everyone under the tent was asking for battle, Ye Zhao stretched out his hand and pressed it to stop everyone arguing and said: "Xuande is new here, and he also needs to be based on meritorious service, so this battle will be handed over to the three of them." ”

Well, this battle is indeed important enough, but if you want to talk about meritorious service, it is set by the people who follow it, their task is to withstand the enemy's arrow cluster plus arson, the task is more dangerous, but it lacks technical content, and the meritorious service will be, but not too much, suitable for this kind of person who can't see himself clearly, can't see the situation clearly.

Of course, afterwards, the three brothers still have to owe themselves a favor and be grateful to themselves.

"Thank you, General!" Liu Bei took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions stirring in his heart, and saluted Ye Zhao very sincerely.

"Go and prepare, and by tomorrow, you must have enough straw men to stand on the bow of the boat." Ye Zhao smiled and nodded.

"Whoa!" After Liu Bei saluted Ye Zhao, he took his two brothers and left with enthusiasm.

After all, it's too young!

Ye Zhao looked at the back of the three Liu Bei brothers, who were a few years older than him, and shook his head silently in his heart.
