Zhang Jiao's death was definitely a devastating blow to the Yellow Turban Army, even the Nanyang Yellow Turban, which was thousands of miles away, also made the morale of the Yellow Turban Army plummet after Zhu Jun deliberately put the news into Wancheng.

As the commander of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang, Zhang Mancheng and others will have too much sadness about Zhang Jiao's death in their hearts, no one knows, after all, at this level, private feelings can never compare to interests, but for the lowest Yellow Turban wrestlers, the blow to morale is still very big.

Whether it is because he believes in Zhang Jiao's Taiping Sect or is forced to join the Taiping Sect, as the nominal leader of the Taiping Sect, even Zhang Jiao is dead, so does this Taiping Sect still have a future?

"General, the death of Zhang Jiao has broken the morale of the Yellow Turban Army, and this is the time for us to break the enemy! Please give the general an order, and the last general is willing to take the lead in breaking through Wancheng and capturing Zhang Mancheng! Outside Wancheng, in Zhu Jun's big tent, Sun Jian asked Zhu Jun for his life with some excitement.

Zhu Jun didn't answer, but looked at the generals in the tent and said with a smile: "What do you think?" ”

Cai Mao shook his head and said: "The last general thinks that although Zhang Jiao's death will shake the morale of the army, this Nanyang Yellow Turban is not Jizhou after all, and it may not be all Zhang Jiao's followers, on the contrary, Zhang Mancheng is more prestigious, plus the weather is cold, and there is heavy snow to hinder, if the city is attacked at this time, I am afraid that there will be heavy losses." ”

"No!" Yuan Shu shook his head and said: "Zhang Jiao's death, no matter what, will have an impact on the morale of the thief army, and the last general thinks that this is the time to send troops!" If it's too late, the fighter will be delayed! ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "What the highway said is good, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army should be shaken, but I think it should be delayed for a few days." ”

"Why?" Zhu Jun asked with a smile when he heard this.

"Morale is one thing, and the other is people's hearts." Cao Cao said with a smile: "After this heavy snowfall, it will be colder, although the thieves are numerous, but there is not enough to fund the soldiers to keep out the cold, although Zhang Mancheng has a general strategy, but I look at this person, nepotism, the treatment of the generals in the army must be different, so that it is easy to make people's hearts scattered, people's hearts are scattered, our army only needs a little provocation, can make the thieves kill each other, then it is the time when our army sends troops!" ”

"That's a good plan!" Yuan Shao stroked his palms and smiled when he heard this.

Zhu Jun was also very satisfied with Cao Cao's strategy, and suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Zhaodao, who had been silent all along: "Xiu Ming once broke the Liang Kingdom and the Runan Yellow Turban, and used soldiers to be veteran, why did he not say a word after he joined my command?" ”

Ye Zhao got up, bowed down and said: "The general's account is full of talents, the ability of the original and Mengde, and even more above the last general, this ugliness is better than hiding clumsiness, and the last general will not be ugly in front of you." ”

"Xiu Ming's words are a little modest!" Cao Cao pointed at Ye Zhao and said with a smile: "What is the plan, say it quickly, don't spoil the fun." ”

"What Meng De said is good, but it's a pity that alcohol is not allowed in the army, otherwise it will be necessary to punish alcohol!" Yuan Shao also echoed and smiled.

Zhu Jun waved his hand to signal everyone to stop the discussion, and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "General Ben now, I want to know if Xiu Ming has a plan to break the thief?" ”

"Probably about the same as Mengde." Ye Zhao thought for a while and said: "Meng De's strategy is already very good, and there is no better strategy for the last general, but there are many bandit troops in Wancheng, although our army has the help of local heroes, but even if the city is broken, it is difficult to annihilate all the thieves, I think, after breaking the city, in order to avoid the yellow turban from continuing to poison the scourge, we should arrange heavy troops in the areas of Jingshan, Woniu Mountain, and Xi'e, mainly to defend and control the thieves in this Wancheng area." ”

Ye Zhao pondered: "After this battle, the thief army will inevitably split, and then you can plot against a thief army as an internal response, provoking the thief army to attack each other, our army only needs to cut off the thief army's retreat, and can not let the thief army despair, and then sit back and watch the success or failure, including the thief army who was rebelled by our army, can not sit big, and then send people to secretly recruit and surrender, draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and gradually disintegrate the vitality of the thief army, until the thief army is unable to compete with our army, and then gather heavy troops, and annihilate the thief army in one fell swoop, then Nanyang can be determined!" ”

"In short, in this last battle, it is not recommended to kill and kill, but to pacify." Ye Zhao finally concluded.

"Xiuming's words are wrong, and it is precisely because it is the last battle that he should give a warning to the people of the world!" Yuan Shu frowned.

"Heavy pressure will only usher in greater resistance, if the people have enough food and clothing, who will have nothing to think of rebellion?" Ye Zhao shook his head and said: "The highway probably doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and I don't know the suffering of the people, so I will say this." ”

"What did you say?" Yuan Shu suddenly turned his head and looked at Ye Zhao calmly.

"Say what you want to say, say what you should say." Ye Zhao said indifferently: "When the general asked, the last general said that if the general felt that what the last general said was wrong, he would not accept the words of the last general." ”

"That's it!" Zhu Jun had a headache, every time Ye Zhao spoke, nothing good would happen, it was originally a good score, but Ye Zhao and Yuan Shu quarreled so much, which immediately made the atmosphere awkward.

"At present, the city is broken first, and as for the rest, we will wait until the city is broken." Zhu Jun stood up, glared at Ye Zhao with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Since you all think what Meng De said is good, then go and prepare." ”

"Whoa!" When the generals heard this, they answered in unison.

"Xiu Ming's rhetoric is too intense." Leaving the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Huang Zhong, several generals who had a good relationship with Ye Zhao, stepped forward and said to Ye Zhao.

"It is true, after the Great War, what is needed is not killing, but pacification." Ye Zhao looked at the crowd: "At that time, the main thing should be to win people's hearts, and the court should also regard it as kind to the world, and it is probably not a good thing to kill in vain." ”

"These things have the court to worry about, you and I are now generals, just do our part." Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "If you are as sharp as you, I am afraid that you will provoke many people and be unfavorable to your career." ”

"Perhaps." Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "This time I have made a meritorious contribution to the plan, after this battle, I will definitely be promoted, and Zhao wishes Meng De a high promotion in advance." ”

"It hasn't happened yet, it's too early for Xiuming to say this!" Cao Cao laughed.

After greeting everyone, after they dispersed, Ye Zhao found Yuan Shao and said, "Originally, the person you planted in the city is available this time!" ”

"Xiu Ming thinks it's available at this time?" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up and looked at Ye Zhaodao.

"Yes, although there will be a war in the future, but this battle to break the city is very important, whoever can take Wancheng must be the first merit, if I don't want it at the beginning, then I will be disrespectful." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Hey, Xiuming's good intentions, how can you refuse, besides, you have a great merit in breaking Runan and Liang Guo, and relieving the siege of Changshe, and the first battle in Nanyang is also counted on your Ye Xiuming's head, this merit will be handed over to someone." Yuan Shao smiled: "Say it quickly, how to behave?" ”

"You can secretly inform Liu Pi, Gong Du and He Yi to settle accounts, attract the attention of the army in the city, attract Zhang Mancheng and others to one side, and take the opportunity to open the city gate in the opposite direction, and our army can lead the crowd to attack the city, then the big thing is decided!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"This plan is very good, I'll arrange it!" Yuan Shao thought about it, immediately nodded in agreement, turned around and left.

Yuan Shao at this moment, quite a little meritorious, seeing that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has come to an end, but he does not have too many meritorious deeds, Ye Zhao needless to say, Pingliang State, breaking Runan, Xie Changshe's siege, the battle of Nanyang, is also Ye Zhaoli's first merit, Cao Cao also has the merit of giving advice this time, although Yuan Shu has been making a small fight, but he has accumulated a lot of merits, only he Yuan Shao, although he also has the merit of pacifying Chen Liu, but the discerning people can see that it is taking advantage of Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao has already fought almost, He just went to clean up the mess, but Chen Liu's credit was all on his head, which made Yuan Shao very uncomfortable.

Ye Zhao is willing to plan for him, Yuan Shao is naturally happy, but although Yuan Shao's ears are soft, but this kind of thing, you can't just listen to Ye Zhao's words, the merit of breaking the city is not small, even if the relationship between the two is good, Yuan Shao also felt that Ye Zhao should not give up such a great feat, and after saying goodbye to Ye Zhao, he returned to the camp and quickly invited Feng Ji to discuss the matter.

After retelling Ye Zhao's plan, Yuan Shao looked at Feng Ji and said, "What does Yuan Tu think?" ”

After thinking for a moment, Feng Ji smiled and said: "Don't worry about it at the beginning, this plan is feasible, then Ye Xiuming is really helping this time." ”

"This is not a small achievement! Xiu Ming is willing to give up like this? Yuan Shao frowned.

"I should have thought about it, how many merits does Ye Xiuming have now?" Feng Ji said with a smile: "Pingliang country, breaking Runan, Xie Changshe's siege, the first battle of Nanyang, although he gave the merits to the fallen soldiers, but also in exchange for greater prestige, such feats, if it is the original or the highway, plus a city breaker, can also bear it, but Ye Xiuming is only from a good family in the end, this move is a smart move, one to avoid too much exposure, arouse people's jealousy, and secondly, you can also make friends with the beginning, this is Ye Xiuming's good move, if the original feeling that Ye Xiuming can be handed over, he will accept his favor, In the future, you can help each other. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he suddenly brightened, shook his head and smiled: "I thought that this Xiuming only knew how to be strong and strong, and he didn't know how to restrain himself, but now it seems that there are times when he is cunning!" ”

"This person is talented, and many times, he is forced to do so." Feng Ji smiled: "Of course, Ji Guan is also a little arrogant in his chest, otherwise, the highway has more advantages than the beginning, those dark lines in the city, the highway can also be mobilized, why doesn't he help the highway, but help you?" Instead, it is-for-tat with the highway everywhere? ”

Yuan Shao listened with a big heart, nodded and smiled: "The road is too heavy, so that it is really ungraceful to turn away such a talent as Xiuming, since this is the case, then we will follow the plan?" ”

"Good!" Feng Ji smiled.

At the moment, Yuan Shao began to send people to secretly contact Liu Pi and Gong Du in the city, and began to create trouble in Wancheng, and at the same time secretly discussed with Zhu Jun about breaking the city, after all, such a major event, when the time comes, the city will be broken, and Zhu Jun's participation is indispensable, it is better to ventilate in advance, Yuan Shao's identity, and there is no need to worry about Zhu Jun being greedy for his merits.
