"Lord, this edict has just been released, don't you need to wait for the soldiers and horses to assemble?" Early the next morning, Ye Zhao convened the generals to discuss the matter, and during this time, Guan Hai and Fang Yue returned from injury one after another, which made Ye Zhao's side a lot more manpower all of a sudden, but when they heard that Ye Zhao was preparing to deal with Gong Du and others, Qiu Chi and the others were still a little surprised.

Garrisoned in Shangcai is Gong Du, and the power cannot be underestimated, not to mention that Ge Ling still has Liu Bi and He Yi adding up to 100,000 people on the side, at this time, Ye Zhao has just been promoted by the imperial court, and the soldiers and horses have not yet been recruited, so it is too hasty to use troops against Gong Du at this time.

"Why did I bring Ding Yi here?" Ye Zhao shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "This Gong Du, Liu Bi and He Yi are not of the same mind, and their subordinates are all rabble, if it is just Gong Du and Liu Bi are on fire, it is not easy to deal with, but at this moment, the three parties are gathered, it seems that there are many soldiers, but in fact, they are guarding against each other, and with a little provocation, he can be made to break himself." ”

Ye Zhao had already sent people to spread rumors among Liu Bi and Gong Dujun before, and now that the rumors are almost gone, it is time to close the net.

"When is the lord going to use the army?" Qiu Chi and the others looked at Ye Zhao.

"Don't use the troops for the time being, Dian Wei and Ding Li, you two will lead your guards to go out of the city with me." Ye Zhao waved his hand.

"Whoa!" Dian Wei and Ding Li agreed and went to order troops.

Ye Zhao asked Fang Yue to take over Dingying's defense, and after taking Qiu Chi to join Dian Wei, Ding Li and others, he walked out of the city.

"Let the two of you pay attention to Du Yuan, can you gain something in the near future?" After leaving Dingying, Ye Zhao called Qiu Chi and Ding Li to his side and asked.

Du Yuan was recruited as an by-product when Liao Hua was recruited, although there were several other Yellow Turban generals around Liao Hua at that time, but in terms of ability, this Du Yuan is relatively outstanding, his martial arts are quite good, and he can fight with Ding Li for thirty or fifty without falling into defeat, but Ye Zhao always feels that this person is a little too slippery, not like Liao Hua has his own ideals and goals, he has good martial arts, but his actions are a little inflammatory, and he still looks unwilling when Liao Hua surrenders, but after he really surrenders, was respectful and even a little flattering to Ye Zhao, which made Ye Zhao a little disliked.

Of course, if it's just like that, Ye Zhao won't care, he won't evaluate a person according to his personal preferences, both gentlemen and villains have his uses, it just depends on how the person who uses it controls it.

What really made Ye Zhao suspicious was that when he was in the Changshe, Du Yuan had secretly let go of many Yellow Turban generals, he thought that he was unaware, but what Ye Zhao was best at was to control the overall situation and evaluate the possible battle situation everywhere, instead of monitoring everyone, where there was a problem with the data, it would naturally arouse Ye Zhao's suspicion.

This is also the reason why Ye Zhao let Liao Hua sneak into the Bocai Army but did not let Liao Hua bring Du Yuan, this person is not careful, it may be a bad thing, if the opponent is a famous general or a potential figure such as Cao Cao and Sun Jian, even if he loses, Ye Zhao will not have any upset, but if it is because a small person is deflated in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, it will definitely be a stain on Ye Zhao.

"There's nothing abnormal, I just like to inquire about some news, after the lord sent troops, he has asked people about the whereabouts of the lord several times." Ding Li thought about it, and said to Ye Zhao, he couldn't see anything, but he felt that Du Yuan was a little too concerned about Ye Zhao's movements.

Qiu Chi also shook his head, although he felt that Du Yuan was a little suspicious, but what he could say, that is to say, what Ding Li said, looked at Ye Zhao at this time and said: "The lord suspects that this person is secretly connected with the yellow scarf?" ”

Ye Zhao shook his head, there is no evidence, this is really hard to say, but he really hopes that Du Yuan will have contact with the Yellow Turban Army, so that there will be more places to use it in the future.

The group rode around Shangcai and went straight to Geling, naturally it was impossible to enter the city, but just let a personal guard blend into He Yi's army outside the city to find someone, as for Ye Zhao, he led people to find a hidden place to rest twenty miles away from the city.

Qiu Chi and the others didn't know who Ye Zhao was looking for, but they didn't ask much, when it was time to tell them, Ye Zhao would naturally say.

……

Huang Shao found a reason to take two cronies and quietly left He Yi's camp, the military discipline of the Yellow Turban Army was already loose, and although Huang Shao has no soldiers and horses now, he is the leader after all, and it is not difficult to leave.

He was really a little apprehensive in his heart, he didn't know if his move was right or wrong, but with the growing popularity of the Taiping Sect, Huang Shao had already faintly felt that if he continued to follow the Taiping Sect, he was afraid that there would be no future.

Huang Shao is half a reader, the reason why he is said to be half, because of his background, he is not even a poor family, since he was a child, he has followed the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, and he can also read and write, so he is considered a scholar, but except for a few Taoist classics collected in some Taoist temples, he has not read any other books.

Later, the Taiping Sect flourished, and Huang Shao's Taoist temple was dilapidated, so he simply joined the Taiping Sect, and in the past few years, he has had more opportunities to contact books.

Huang Shao didn't know about the Taiping Sect in advance, but he had already been marked with the mark of the Taiping Sect, and it was not easy to get rid of it, and he became the leader, and later after occupying the city in the Runan area, Huang Shao got a lot of books from some families, which he regarded as a treasure.

But the more I read, the more panicked Huang Shao became, although the Taiping Sect is now monstrous, but Huang Shao is in it, comparing the current Taiping Sect with history one by one, but finding that the Taiping Sect has all the factors for failure.

The command is unknown, the internal structure is chaotic, there are many factions and even internal members are intriguing with each other, plus the upper echelons in the sect, almost most of them are some people who are short-sighted, although the Taiping Sect is now monstrous, but if you compare it with history, this is basically a template for a failed uprising.

And as a result, as Huang Shao expected, I don't know other places, just in this Runan alone, there are Qu Shuai He Yi, the big marshal Gong Du, the big leader Liu Pi, and Wu Ba and so on will be the great Runan Split apart, the Yellow Turban Army is not in production, almost all the current military postures are robbed, and the various forces do not look at each other at each other, all of which seem to be as recorded in the history books, pushing the Taiping Sect to extinction.

Then He Yi was defeated in Ruyin, and was directly driven by the officers and soldiers to break through his city, so that he was also inexplicably involved in the rout, and it was on that day that Huang Shao met Ye Zhao.

The combat effectiveness of the official army is beyond imagination, and the soldiers and horses he just organized to resist were only shattered by Ye Zhao's troops in an instant, just when Huang Shao thought that his life was over, the imaginary butcher's knife did not fall, and he met Ye Zhao, an official who made Huang Shao feel very different.

Huang Shao couldn't say what it felt, but Ye Zhao still recognized Huang Shao's evaluation of the Yellow Turban Army, so when Ye Zhao surrendered, Huang Shao agreed without too much hesitation.

Just to his surprise, Ye Zhao did not let him follow, but asked him to return to He Yi's side, continue to follow He Yi, and even help He Yi stabilize the army's heart.

What Ye Zhao was going to do, Huang Shao couldn't guess, but the plan was obviously not small, he stayed in He Yi's heart for the past two days, and he had been nervous, for fear that he would reveal some flaws, that kind of taste was not good, until Ye Zhao sent someone to find him, Huang Shao's mind was relieved, no matter what the result was, at least he didn't have to live that kind of tormented life again.

Led by a strong man dressed in a yellow scarf, Huang Shao finally saw Ye Zhao again after rounding several hills.

"Mr. Huang, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I am much haggard." Ye Zhao had a warm smile on his face, looking harmless to humans and animals, it was unthinkable that it was such a person, and He Yi's wolf who was beaten by thousands of people rushed to rush.

"See the lord." Huang Shao hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage to Ye Zhao, unlike Liao Hua's idealistic person, Huang Shao is a very pragmatic person, and he has been in the Taiping Sect for many years, and he is no longer the naïve boy like Liao Hua.

"Excuse me." Ye Zhao beckoned to Huang Shao and asked him to sit opposite him.

"I came to Mr. today, because I need Mr.'s help in something." Ye Zhao looked at Huang Shao and smiled.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as you can do it, it will be your duty." Huang Shao's heart sank, and he hurriedly bowed down.

"It must be done, I want you to lead your troops to Liu Bi." Ye Zhao smiled and said: "Let's just say that He Yi merged with your people, I am not angry in my heart, I am willing to take the deployment to Liu Pi, and I agree that in the night of three days, please ask Liu Pi to open the city gate, and you will take your troops into the city." ”

"This ......" Huang Shao glanced at Ye Zhao suspiciously, nodded and said, "It's not difficult, it's just ......"

What's the purpose? Huang Shao didn't know what Ye Zhao had in mind.

"But this matter is a deception, after communicating with Liu Pi, as long as Liu Bi agrees, you will immediately inform He Yi of this matter, and let He Yi do a good job of ambushing, and take advantage of Liu Pi to open the city gate, and attack the city in one fell swoop!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"This ......" Huang Shao's eyes widened, he finally understood Ye Zhao's true plan, this was to want Liu Bi and He Yihuo to merge!

"Obedience!" After taking a deep breath and suppressing the horror in his heart, Huang Shao saw Ye Zhao looking at him with a smile, and hurriedly looked solemn, and arched his hand to Ye Zhao: "I just hope that the lord will not forget the previous agreement." ”

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. is talented, after this battle, Mr. Zhao will recruit Mr. as the subordinate governor, although he is not a high-ranking official, but he will finally have a background in the future." ”

"Thank you, Lord." Huang Shao nodded when he heard this, he secretly surrendered to Ye Zhao, in addition to being able to get out of the yellow scarf and whitewash himself, he also hoped to get a good background.

In this life, he has figured out that he has no background, and the road to study is too difficult, so he can forget it, but he doesn't want his descendants to be like him, and they have no way to study for the rest of their lives.

Ye Zhao discussed some specific plans with Huang Shao before sending Huang Shao away.

After watching Huang Shao leave, Qiu Chicai looked at Ye Zhao with a smile: "The lord's plan to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger is really wonderful, but there is some distance between our army and this Geling, and Gong Du is stationed in Shangcai, even if the two are defeated in the end, it will be difficult for our army to come in time." ”

Ye Zhao nodded and smiled: "I have a reason, go back and pass on my order, order the three armies to withdraw from Dingying, let Fang Yue command the troops to retreat to Yanling, and Ding Li led the army to secretly transfer to Shangcai to join me." ”
