Chapter 109: Hidden Murder

"Lord, what are you doing?" In recent days, the army has been relatively relaxed, in addition to training and training, most of the time Ye Zhao's army is hanging at the end of Huangfu Song's army, Sun Jian is the vanguard, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu are distributed left and right, Ye Zhao was thrown by Huangfu Song in the end In addition to guarding the rear, more responsibilities are to coordinate the work of grain and grass, Qiu Chi and others already know Ye Zhao's plan, so they are not in a hurry.

"Look at the situation in Nanyang, during this time, Nanyang is very lively, He Yi, Liu Pi, Gong Du, and Wu Ba, these people in order to be paid attention to after arriving in Nanyang, along the way coerced a lot of people to strengthen their momentum, plus after Peng Tuo was defeated, he also went to Nanyang, plus Nanyang Zhang Mancheng's already existing Han Zhong, Sun Zhong, Zhao Hong, the momentum is huge, I am afraid that the Jizhou Yellow Turban may not be comparable, this is a big battle." Ye Zhao looked at the map, saw Qiu Chi asking, and explained with a smile.

"Isn't the lord already planning to make a move?" Qiu Chi helped Ye Zhao bring tea and soup, and asked with a smile: "Why do you care about these anymore?" ”

"I don't want merit, but I can ask for favors." Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Now that there are Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in this army in the DPRK, the merits cannot be counted only by his emperor Fu Song. ”

"By the way, how are Liu Bei and the others doing?" Ye Zhao thought of the three brothers Liu Bei and asked with a smile.

"I don't know what to do." At the mention of these three people, Qiu Chi's face was obviously a little unsightly.

"Oh?" Ye Zhao was a little puzzled.

"Then Liu Bei sighed all day long, and often complained with Ding Li and Fang Yue, two generals, that he had the heart to serve the country, but he couldn't fight for the country and get rid of thieves." A touch of anger flashed on Qiu Chi's face: "I often sit with the generals in the army to discuss the current situation in Nanyang, but most of them are empty talk, the lord is kind enough to take him in, but when he looks at this person, he is quite dissatisfied with the lord's take-in, and he doesn't want to think about it, if it weren't for the lord to speak for him that day, with his three brothers and a white body, who would care about them?" ”

"Then tell him that logistics is also very important, and if the logistics grain and grass are cut off, our tens of thousands of troops will not be able to continue." Ye Zhao shook his head, sure enough, anyone needs a process of growth, Ye Zhao felt that Liu Bei had a lot of city government in the account that day, and after he threw out the olive branch, he did not immediately express his position, but waited for Huangfu Song's order, this is not strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this, but Liu Bei takes himself too seriously.

At this time, Liu Bei is not the emperor's uncle who will be justified by the royal family in the future, and by doing so, not only will he not get the favor of Huangfu Song, but he will lose Ye Zhao's face, and in the past few days under Ye Zhao's command, he has made friends and attracted several good generals under Ye Zhao's subordinates all day long, which also makes Ye Zhao a little tired.

"Tomorrow's army is about to arrive in Shuishui, Zhang Mancheng has been fortifying the wall these days, shrinking the defense line, stretching the supply line of our army, the safety of the grain road cannot be ignored, Liu Bei's three brothers are quite brave, let them go to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, guard the safety of the grain road, find something to do, and they will not be idle all day long." Ye Zhao handed a Ling Arrow to Qiu Chidao.

Although Fang Yue and Ding Li are relieved, Liu Bei is so fanfare to win the hearts of the people under his command, which still makes Ye Zhao a little unhappy, Ye Zhao originally just wanted to have a good relationship with one of the male lords of the Three Kingdoms in the future, and by the way, he also observed Liu Bei's ability, but now it seems that Liu Bei obviously does not have the vision and skills that a male lord should have, so there is no need to worry about it at present.

"Whoa!" Qiu Chi respectfully accepted the order and said to Ye Zhao: "Captain Huben sent someone to spread the word and invite the lord to go to the Chinese army to discuss matters later. ”

"yes, got it." Ye Zhao closed the map, and after Qiu Chi left, he took Guan Hai straight to the camp of the Huangfu Songzhong army.

Ye Zhao, as the rear army, was some distance away from Huangfu Song's Chinese army, and after he arrived, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and others had already arrived.

"Captain Ye is really punctual!" Huangfu Song was a little unhappy when he saw Ye Zhao, and snorted coldly.

Ye Zhao also ignored him, the relationship between the two sides had dropped to the freezing point at this time, and after a courtesy salute, he didn't care, and sat directly at Yuan Shao's hand.

"Impudent!" Yuan Shu frowned dissatisfied.

"I don't know that General Huangfu has summoned us and others, but to discuss the matter of breaking the thief?" Ye Zhao didn't hear it, and said to Huangfu Song.

"Not bad." Zhu Jun saw that Huangfu Song stopped talking, took Ye Zhao's words and said with a smile: "The thief Zhang Mancheng is quite a soldier, and has laid heavy troops on the other side of the river and occupied various important places to prevent our army from crossing the river. ”

"Then I wonder what the two generals have planned?" Ye Zhao said with a smile, this kind of thing, there is no need for him to show off, the water is not the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the widest point is only about two hundred meters, the only difficulty is that the enemy army has laid heavy troops along the river, which has added difficulties to crossing the river, and more importantly, this is the first battle since entering Nanyang, and winning or losing is related to the morale of both sides.

Cao Cao smiled: "I was still discussing it before, so let's see it." ”

Speaking, Cao Cao walked to a huge map of Nanyang, pointed to the map and said: "Now our army is stationed in Bowang, the front army has reached the bank of the river, and the yellow turban thieves, more than in the West Hubei area, these two water flow is gentle, the most easy to cross the river, although the water is long, but most of the water is turbulent, suitable for our army to land on the shore, there is only a section of this West Hubei, but the West Hubei is stationed in a large number of Yellow Turban Army, if our army forcibly crosses the river, the loss will be heavy, is that we are exploring how to cross the river at the moment, although there is a force to cross, but the loss will be heavy. ”

Ye Zhao nodded, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help but say with a blank face: "What do you think of me?" ”

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Why do you want to ask Xiu Ming knowingly, you swept Runan with a weak force, and hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans were beaten by you and ran around, and they couldn't form an army, and we just wanted to hear Xiu Ming's opinion." ”

Yuan Shao also has a way to cross the river, Liu Pi and Gong are all nails buried in the Yellow Turban Army by the Yuan family, once launched, it will naturally be difficult for him to cross the river, but there is no reason to show the hole cards so quickly, this is only the first battle, although the credit is not small, but how can it be compared to the credit of Zhang Mancheng after breaking it, so Yuan Shao did not say a word before.

"Fate will meet." Ye Zhao shook his head and smiled: "That Runan Yellow Turban, a plate of loose sand, although there are many people, but the mind is not aligned, He Yi is a Qu Shuai, but there is no prestige of Qu Shuai, and his subordinates are all ignorant horsemen, the power is not enough to convince the public, so that the subordinates have an opportunity to take advantage of, this Zhang Mancheng is not comparable to He Yi and his ilk, don't say that he has a great reputation in this Nanyang, and there are many capable people under his command, and there are even officials and soldiers who followed him in the past, it is not easy to break him." ”

I'm here to do something, but I'm not here to help you break the enemy.

"General Ben does have a plan to get our troops ashore as soon as possible." Huangfu Song, who had not spoken all this time, said in a deep voice.

"Please show the general!" When the generals heard this, they hurriedly bowed and said.

Huangfu Song glanced at Ye Zhao, came to the map, pointed to Xi'e and said: "It's simple, Zhang Mancheng may be powerful, but the one who is guarding here is not himself, according to our army's detailed report, the person stationed in Xi'e is Zhang Mancheng's general Zhao Hong, our army can send a force from here to attack, attract that Zhao Hong to attack, our army's main force will go upstream, take advantage of the enemy's soldiers and horses to be attracted, cross the river from the upstream, and then detour through Pheasant County with light horses, attack behind the enemy, and win in a battle!" ”

It's very simple, but the strategy is a thing, just look at whether it is clever, not to mention whether it is simple, many times, simple strategy is also the most effective.

Ye Zhao looked at the map, this section of the land with gentle water flow, the total length is about ten to fifteen miles, according to Huangfu Song's strategy, the chance of successfully crossing the river is very high, but it is to suffer the person who feints.

Cao Cao on the side arched his hand and said: "The general can set up a beacon tower along the coast to observe the movement of the enemy. ”

Huangfu Song nodded and said, "Good! ”

Zhu Jun on the side frowned and said, "It's just that this attacker, who should he choose?" Although it was just a feint, if it couldn't put pressure on the Yellow Turban Army, it might not be able to attract Zhao Hong's attention. ”

When Huangfu Song heard this, he looked at Ye Zhao with a smile that seemed to be not a smile.

Ye Zhao frowned, didn't wait for Huangfu Song to speak, and said first: "I have heard for a long time that General Sun Wentai is known as a fierce tiger, and since following the two generals, every battle must be the first, and the soldiers will cause all the attacks. ”

Sun Jian glanced at Ye Zhao with some doubts, and didn't understand why Ye Zhao suddenly helped him grab the credit, but what he said was right, Sun Jian was about to get up and agree, but was stopped by Zhu Jun with his eyes.

Huangfu Song shook his head and said: "General Sun's courage and strategy, we naturally know, but the front turned over the big war Bocai, General Sun has repeatedly used his life, has consumed a lot of vitality, and now it has not recovered, if you force the battle, I am afraid that there will be an accident, Xiuming Runan battle, win more with less, and now he is a famous general known to the world, yes, this general hopes that Xiuming can take over this position." ”

At the end, Huangfu Song also showed an amiable smile to Ye Zhao.

Usually if an enemy suddenly gives you a kind smile, nothing good will happen!

Ye Zhao looked left and right, whether it was Yuan Shao, Cao Cao or Yuan Shu, they were not known for their bravery, and basically had no experience in leading troops alone, Huangfu Song put Sun Jian aside, obviously, it was clear that he wanted Ye Zhao to take over this rough job.

"It's just that under the command of the last general, there are only 2,000 people in the headquarters, which is a bluff, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to hide from the Yellow Turban thief." Ye Zhao was a little helpless, he really couldn't kick the ball at Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, as for Yuan Shu...... Looking at Yuan Shu's face, I was very dragged but don't look for me, Ye Zhao knew that there was no play, and Huangfu Song would not agree, so he could only ask for benefits.

"This is not difficult, the Yue Cavalry Battalion has also been commanded by Xiuming before, and it can be temporarily transferred to Xiuming's command to listen to it!" Huangfu Song said with a smile.

"The last general commands!" Ye Zhao bowed his hand, and said helplessly: "I don't know when to move the army?" ”

"The soldiers are fast, the highway, you quickly supervise the soldiers to build the beacon tower, Xiu Ming will go to transfer the troops, and start early tomorrow morning!" Huangfu Song said with a smile.

"Whoa!"
