"Lord, He Yi has begun to withdraw his troops!" The third day of He Yi's siege passed in peace, and on the fourth day, early in the morning, he saw Dian Wei striding in and said to Ye Zhao with an excited face.

"Retreat now?" Ye Zhao closed the map, stood up and said with a smile: "Go find a few people, I have something to tell them if they have stayed in the yellow scarf." ”

"Uh...... Lord, don't you chase? Dian Wei looked at Ye Zhao with some astonishment.

"Don't worry, you can't run, go do this first, and then go and gather troops, and there will be time." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Whoa!" Dian Wei answered in a muffled voice, turned around and went to find someone.

Soon, more than a dozen soldiers walked in under the leadership of Dian Wei and bowed to Ye Zhao.

"Lord, these brothers all came over in Liang Kingdom, although they used to be yellow turban thieves, but now they only listen to the lord." Dian Wei pointed to a few people and introduced Ye Zhao.

"Since you have joined our army, there will be no Yellow Turban Thieves or surrendering to the army, you are all deployed by me, and this official can trust you." Ye Zhao looked at these people and said with a smile.

"We will swear allegiance to the Lord to the death." More than a dozen soldiers hurriedly bowed and said.

"I asked you to come this time because you have done Yellow Turbans before, so I hope you can infiltrate the Yellow Turban Army, no need to fight, just help me walk some rumors." Ye Zhao smiled and motioned for these people to be exempt, and then said.

"My lord, will they believe it?" A descendant looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously.

"I have my own way to convince them, you just need to sneak into Geling and Shangcai, take a walk, He Yi has defected to the imperial court, and assist the officials and troops to exterminate the Runan Yellow Turban, and you don't have to worry about other things." Ye Zhao nodded and affirmed: "Remember, it's almost time to walk, you don't have to come to me, just go back to Dingying to join the main force of our army!" ”

"Whoa!" After everyone looked at each other for a moment, they bowed to Ye Zhao and bowed to leave.

"Have the troops been assembled?" After these people left, Ye Zhao looked at Dian Wei.

"It's all assembled, but my lord, we really don't leave anyone to guard this Ruyin?" Dian Wei asked suspiciously.

"Where are so many troops stationed in the army, this thirty-seven counties in Runan, if every city has to be garrisoned, it is not enough to transfer our men and horses, just leave some straw men to pretend, the rest, our own court to worry about, what we have to do now is to break the enemy!" Ye Zhao patted Dian Wei's shoulder and said, "Divide everyone out, how can there be troops to break the enemy?" Let's go. ”

"Oh~" Dian Wei agreed a little ignorantly, and followed Ye Zhao out, Ye Zhao's original deployment in the city plus the Yellow Turban who surrendered was brave, a total of less than 3,000 people and horses have been assembled, Ye Zhao turned over and got on the horse, looked at the open city gate and said: "Let's go!" ”

……

He Yi didn't expect that the official army would send troops at this time, and many Yellow Turban thieves were caught off guard by the officers and soldiers who suddenly came out of the city before they could pack up.

After a short period of chaos, these Yellow Turban thieves who had lost their fighting spirit immediately blew up the camp, even if He Yi tried his best to stop it, he couldn't stop drinking, and in all directions, there were Yellow Turban thieves running and shouting.

He Yi was in it, he couldn't even see where the officers and soldiers were, and after struggling for a while, he was carried by the surging flow of people and began to run, even he didn't know why he was fleeing, and he could occasionally see arrows flying in his field of vision, but there were not many, more of them were shouting and killing in all directions, as if there were enemy troops in all directions for a while.

People's emotions are contagious, and He Yi obviously can't turn the tide, in the end, even he feels that there are shadows of the enemy army in all directions, and he is at a loss like cattle and sheep on the grassland, driven by Ye Zhao's troops in the direction designated by Ye Zhao and a group of chaotic soldiers under his command.

Ye Zhao did not charge into battle in person, there were too many people on the battlefield, once he was in it, it was difficult to judge the situation calmly, and he could not intuitively judge the direction of the Yellow Turban Army from the overall situation.

Dian Wei is mainly responsible for the charge, once it is found that the Yellow Turban Army has a large number of signs of gathering to resist, Dian Wei will immediately rush up in accordance with Ye Zhao's instructions to kill a pass, at this time it is not merciful, Dian Wei went up to be a real kill, the fierce god rushed in with an iron halberd, killed a pass, and after the Yellow Turban thief was cold, he immediately retreated to avoid being surrounded by a large number of Yellow Turban Army.

Occasionally, he would let go of some Yellow Turban troops who were fleeing in other directions, after all, Ye Zhao now had limited troops in his hands and too many enemy troops, so he could only ensure that He Yi's main force was advancing in the direction he had planned.

After stopping and stopping like this, and chasing for two days in a row, He Yi's department was driven by Ye Zhao to the territory of Yangquan, where a yellow turban thief was stationed, not a large yellow turban force like Liu Bi, and the number of people added up to about 5,000.

He Yi didn't know at first that he had been driven to the Yangquan realm by Ye Zhao during the escape, but when he saw Yangquan City, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone to open the city gate to let them rest.

The Yangquan Yellow Turban guarding here naturally did not dare to disobey He Yi's order, and after not seeing what the situation was, he opened the city gate, and then the official army who was chasing unhurriedly all the way suddenly went crazy, and rushed into Yangquan City with He Yi's army, although He Yi was a lot of people at the moment, but he had lost the courage to fight a decisive battle with the official army. He Yi brought a large number of Yellow Turban defeated troops, together with his own subordinates, and was driven out of the city, and under the control of Ye Zhao, they marched towards the next city.

For six consecutive days, four cities occupied by the small forces of the Yellow Turban Army were driven by Ye Zhao to break through, and then driven away together, including not only a small number of Yellow Turbans, but even the more famous Huang Shao, who had tens of thousands of people, was also among them, and this situation lasted until he was driven to Geling.

Liu Pi and Gong Du, as the two major Yellow Turban leaders in Runan, not only have a large number of people, but they are even above He Yi in total, and more importantly, the two sides are not far apart, one is guarding Geling, the other is guarding Shangcai, and He Yi has faintly been divided into courts, and now He Yi is poor, and more importantly, although many people have been separated these days, but with the Yellow Turban thieves who have been coerced by various cities, He Yi now has nearly 50,000 Yellow Turban thieves gathered around him. He even sent a large number of troops to guard the city wall, and the angry He Yi scolded under the city, but he could only look at the closed city gate helplessly.

"This Liu Pi, do you really want to see death and not save it!?" Under Geling City, He Yi looked at the closed city gate and felt chills, this Han army may be killed at any time, and if he doesn't open the city and let him in, he is afraid that he will have to explain here.

As for reflexively fighting with the official army, it's not that he hasn't tried it these days, but every time he has this idea, the attack of the Han army will suddenly become fierce, and the tens of thousands of yellow scarves that have been beaten have no temper.

"Qu Shuai, the officers and soldiers seem to be gone!" Huang Shao has been following He Yi since the city was broken, although his cronies are still there at this time, but the yellow turban thieves who gathered in the past are mixed in the army at the moment, how can they be separated, although He Yi did not say it explicitly, but in the past few days, he has fled for his life, but he has helped He Yi successfully gather these yellow turban thieves together.

"Gone?" He Yi calmed down when he heard this, and found that the shouting and killing sound that had been hovering left and right for the past few days had disappeared for some time, which made him a little unaccustomed for a while.

"He Man, go take a look." He Yi was a little uneasy, and asked He Man to go and investigate.

A quarter of an hour later, He Man squeezed out of the crowd and said excitedly to He Yi: "Qu Shuai, really left!" ”

When He Yi heard this, his heart was relieved, and he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and in the exclamation of others, he planted himself on the ground, and He Man and others hurriedly supported him.

But these days He Yi was forced by Ye Zhao to rush to the wolf, although Ye Zhao has not been following closely, and there will be time to eat or rest, but in the past eight days, he has not slept a peaceful sleep, even if Ye Zhao rests, he will send people to beat gongs and drums around, first, to drive the Yellow Turban Army together, and secondly, it also makes them nervous, tired, and not much time to think, as the commander of the three armies, He Yi's pressure is naturally greater, and now he suddenly heard that the official army was withdrawn, and his spirit was relaxed, Suddenly, it felt as if all the strength in his body had disappeared in this instant.

"Qu Shuai!" Several people looked at He Yi worriedly.

"It's okay!" He Yi shook his head, although he wondered why the officers and soldiers suddenly withdrew, but at this time, he couldn't take care of this much, the top priority was to stabilize the morale of the army first, since he was here, even if he didn't want to have a showdown with Liu Bi, he took a breath and said: "Let the brothers set up camp first, and send someone to tell Liu Bi that our army has been calculated by the officials and soldiers, since he is unwilling to open the city, he will send grain and grass to us, otherwise, let's prepare for war!" ”

Don't look at the time when facing the official army, He Yi ran fast, but he was not afraid of Liu Pi, who was also a yellow scarf, everyone was a yellow scarf, and the people under his hands were almost the same, if it really started, He Yi was not afraid.

"Yes!" He Man and the others agreed, and they left separately to act, and they also sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the officials and soldiers.

At the same time, Ye Zhao had already gathered his soldiers and horses and headed in the direction of Dingying, and after resting near Shangcai that night, he bypassed Shangcai at noon the next day and returned to Dingying.

"Lord, in this way, although most of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan has been expelled, but in the area from Shangcai to Geling, there are probably as many as 150,000 Yellow Turban thieves gathered, and our army is now only more than 5,000 people, how to break the enemy?" After Qiu Chi learned most of the information, he looked at Ye Zhao with a shocked face, no matter how weak the Yellow Turban Thief was, this was tens of thousands, how could he fight with this little bit of people in his hands?

"There are not enough people, ask the court!" Ye Zhao stretched, looked at Qiu Chi and said with a smile: "Huangfu Song is unwilling to give me soldiers, this time he has recaptured more than a dozen cities, the imperial court should always express it." ”

"The lord is talking ......" Qiu Chi's heart moved, and he looked at Ye Zhao.

"Give the court a note, there is no need to exaggerate, our army broke 17 cities in half a month, expelled more than 70,000 Yellow Turban thieves, but the soldiers are outnumbered, the Yellow Turban thieves are heavily assembled, our army is no longer able to levy, I hope the court can send some reinforcements to me." Ye Zhao said with a smile, he did expel 70,000 yellow scarves, but these yellow scarves were brought together by him, what he is doing now is actually no different from Huangfu Song, they are all reaching out to the court to ask for benefits, the difference is that Huangfu Song is to ask the court for benefits after the defeat, and he wants it after the big victory.

"Humble duty understands." Qiu Chi understood, and after agreeing, he rushed back to prepare for the book.
