Chapter 32 He Yi attacks the heart
Almost at the same time as He Guang was killed, Xu Shu led Gong Su's troops to kill from the left flank of the enemy, and at the same time flanked the troops in front of the Yellow Turban, killing until they were scattered.
The main general was killed, the forward was frustrated, and the timid Yellow Turban soldiers, who had already been killed by the officers and soldiers, invariably chose to flee. There were also small leaders who tried to gather the rout, but once the defeat of these poor peasants was revealed, the morale of the army could not be recovered in any way.
The situation on the battlefield became one-sided, and Xu Chu and others led their troops to chase after the enemy army several times their size, and chased them for dozens of miles. The yellow turbans who were killed and broke their hearts trampled each other to death more than those who died in battle.
Guo Jia didn't know when he came to Chen Yina, and said in his heart: The wind is as fierce as a tiger and a wolf, and the headwind is like a rat. It is no wonder that the general of the left chariot cavalry led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to pacify the Yellow Turban of the three counties. In addition to the fact that the left cavalry had a good command of the generals, the easy escape of the Yellow Turban soldiers was also a very important reason.
He then said to Chen Yi: "After this battle, it is no longer a problem to defend Yanling, and I will tell your lord that I will return to Yangzhai." ”
Chen Yi was surprised: "Mr. Fengxiao is leaving?" This is unacceptable, the lord once said that if Mr. does not say goodbye, he will have to tie it back. ”
"Oh? Zhong Kang said so? Guo Jia laughed a few times, and sighed again: "Ran Jia has nothing to do in Yanling County, with Zhongkang's bravery, the loyalty of all the monarchs, He Yi, He is enough." Now that I've said goodbye, the thief doesn't have to tie me up. ”
By the time Xu Chu returned victoriously, Guo Jia was already on his way to Yangzhai. Those big families completely changed their faces at this time, and they did their best to praise Xu Chu's virtue. Listening to the flattering words, Xu Chu was in a good mood, thinking that now you wall grass should know how powerful.
Although the scale of this battle was not very large, He Yi's main force was still unscathed, but it was of great significance to Xu Chu.
The soldiers have been tempered, the big families and the people in the county have strengthened their determination to resist the thieves, and his own reputation is also unparalleled for a while.
Since then, he Xu Zhongkang has been in Yanling County, and he is really saying the same.
Someone in the big family proposed to hold a celebration banquet, Xu Chu waved his hand, but he really didn't have the time to spare.
There's a lot to follow. Counting casualties and comforting the families of the fallen soldiers is one of them; Reward merit and punishment, reaffirm military law to avoid large-scale desertion in the future, and secondly; Clean up the battlefield, bury all the corpses to prevent epidemics, and dispose of captured Yellow Turban soldiers, and so on.
Xu Chu sighed, now he is only managing one Yan Ling, so he is busy to this point, and he will ...... in the future I can't imagine it.
Xu Shu suffered a slight injury to the palm of his right hand, and came to Xu Chu's side after a simple bandage. He is Xu Chu's most powerful subordinate, Xu Chu doesn't rest, he also wants to rest.
"My lord, the casualties of the soldiers are better than expected, and the main losses are the slaves of those big families. There is also Zifan's serious injury, and I am afraid that he will have to recuperate for a while. ”
Xu Chu closed his eyes and said negatively: "Reduced to a team rate, let him go and recuperate!" "This kid was too reckless, and almost put all the 200 people under his command into it, and he won't be able to remember it for a long time without heavy punishment.
"And." Xu Shu wanted to speak and stopped, "Feng Xiao is gone." ”
Xu Chu froze, the joy of victory was lost on his face, he didn't say anything, just nodded, and took the county officials headed by Zhang Feng back to the Yamen council.
"Master, why did the adults become lifeless when they heard that Guo Jia was gone." Zhang Ying asked Xu Shu curiously.
Xu Shu looked at Zhang Ying, this famous lady was beautiful and heroic, slim, generous, kind, and courageous, and couldn't help but sigh that Zhang Deran gave birth to a good daughter.
"Guo Fengxiao is gone, and the lord is sad."
"They have a good relationship?"
"It's not about feelings, it's just ...... In the eyes of the lord, perhaps Guo Fengxiao is Zhang Zifang. If you lose Zhang Zifang, can you not be sad? ”
Zhang Ying was silent, she wanted to laugh at Xu Shu's sour tone when she spoke, but she couldn't laugh. Xu Chu is thirsty for talent, does he really have great ambitions?
……
……
He Yi is a moody person, and his appearance is different from what the world imagines, he looks very civilized and personable. The first time we met, it was hard to tell that he would be a 'yellow turban thief'.
Receiving the news that He Guang had died in battle and that less than 500 of the 2,000 pioneers had fled back, He Yi was very angry. But he didn't have anyone to vent to, He Guang was dead, and it would be useless to say anything.
He Yi understood that he had to stay calm, he was also used to being calm, and if he wasn't calm, his troops wouldn't have survived until now.
The strength of Yanling County must be reassessed. He Yi hesitated in his heart, whether Yan Ling would fight or not, if he didn't fight Yan Ling, where should he go?
More than a dozen pairs of eyes in the tent were staring at him, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Take pen and ink, I want to write a letter to the Yanling County Order."
That night, dozens of feather arrows tied with letters were shot into the city of Yanling County.
The county official who got the news firsthand was Zhang Ying, the chief of the guard on duty that night.
"How many such letters are there?"
"Back to Cao Shi, I saw more than a dozen letters, and I don't know how many I didn't see."
"Go and call the thief Lord Cao up and let him deal with it."
"Whoa."
The county guard took the order and left, and Zhang Ying reflexively went to find Xu Chu. At the door of Xu Chu's signing room, I met Xu Shu.
"I've seen the master book."
Xu Shu nodded, "Miss Ying, you don't have to be so polite when no one is around." By the way, what's the matter with you? ”
Zhang Ying's face was slightly red, "The thief has a letter into the county seat, and he is about to report to the county king." ”
Xu Shu glanced sideways at the room, turned around and said, "Let the lord sleep, I've been so busy that I haven't even eaten." ”
Zhang Ying's eyes went around Xu Shu's body, and she saw Xu Chu lying on the desk asleep, and the corners of her mouth were full of saliva......
"Miss Ying, show me the letter. Miss Ying? ”
"Oh, give." Zhang Ying recalled Xu Chu's unsightly sleeping posture, and couldn't help but purse her lips and snicker.
Xu Shu read the letter carefully with the glimmer of light at the door, and said with a smile: "The thieves want to disturb our army's heart." ”
Zhang Ying took the letter and looked at it, it turned out to be a war letter, nothing more than how angry our army is, how strong it is, you are self-defeating and so on, and at the end he also said that he will come to attack the city in five days, if you don't surrender, there will be no grass after the city is broken.
"Have you told the thief Cao Chenyi about this?"
"I've been called to report it."
"That's good, as long as you deal with it in time, you won't be able to make any waves."
Xu Shu yawned, said goodbye to Zhang Ying, and prepared to squint for a while. Halfway through, I suddenly felt that this matter was very strange, and the strange thing was in the last sentence: After five days, I will come to attack the city.
In Xu Shu's opinion, this sentence should have been meaningless. Because no matter when the Yellow Turban comes to attack the city, even if it is tomorrow, the county is also prepared, and the most common way to deal with this trick is to wait for the enemy.
That is, during these five days, it is best not to move, and everything is in order.
Could it be that He Yi wants the lord not to dare to act rashly within five days? So what can he do in those five days?
Xu Shu smelled the smell of conspiracy, and turned around to look for a map. walked to the main hall, but found that Zhang Ying was already there, staring at the map with a pair of beautiful eyes.
