For the sake of insurance, Xu Chu decided to consult Guo Jia on this matter. Clinker Guo Fengxiao had already gone to the barracks one step earlier, and it seemed that he was not sure when he learned that the vanguard of the thief army was coming.

"Is this Guo Jia very powerful?" Zhang Ying asked lightly, because Xu Chu couldn't wait to see Guo Jia, she had just rushed back to the county government from the north of the city, and followed him to the military camp in the west of the city without stopping.

Xu Chu looked at Zhang Ying, but saw that Zhang Ying's face was flushed with sun under the sun, which was very cute, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Zhang Ying was a little embarrassed, thinking that this guy stared at a man like this, could it be that he had some special fetishes. She didn't know that her posture couldn't hide her gender in front of Xu Chu at all, so she couldn't help but stand up and felt cold.

"Mr. Bonghyo is extremely intelligent, of course he is powerful." Xu Chu said.

Zhang Ying snorted lightly and said, "The matter of the farmers in the county is Pang Zhonghe; selection of officials, including Zhang Deran; The government affairs are complicated, and there is Xu Yuanzhi. Now that the war is undecided, I asked Guo Fengxiao, the head of a county, how easy it is. In the past few days since she came to the county office, she had the intention to inquire about Xu Chu's style of acting in order to come to this conclusion.

Xu Chu couldn't help but smile bitterly, this little girl knew him very well.

"In the past, Emperor Gaozu once said to people that the husband is strategizing in the middle of the battle, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, he is not as good as Zhang Liang; Town the country, care for the people, pay the army, and keep the grain going, he is not as good as Xiao He; Even with an army of millions, the battle will be won, and the attack will be overcome, he is not as good as Han Xin. He can use these three people, so there is a world. Xu Chu is not talented, I hope to learn the fur of Gaozu, can't I? ”

Zhang Ying is full of poetry and books, and she has naturally heard this allusion, and she only has four words for Xu Chu's words - stinky and shameless.

immediately sneered at each other and said, "My lord has lofty ambitions and admires him." It's just that adults compare themselves to Gao Zu, so who is Tyrant Qin? ”

Xu Chu was speechless, and said in his heart: This woman has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and she has read more books than him, and it is she who suffers from arguing with her after all. Then he said: "For a casual analogy, Xu is loyal to the imperial court, and Cao Shi thinks too much, thinks too much." ”

Zhang Ying raised her chin, was forgiving, and no longer continued to sarcastically mock Xu Chu.

When I arrived at the barracks, I bumped into Zifan first, and Zifan said with a big grin: "Why is the big brother here!" Huh? Who is this little white face next to you, why have I never seen it? ”

Xu Chu was amused in his stomach, and said with a serious face: "This is Ayi's subordinate, who is in charge of my escort during this time." ”

"What?! This little white face looked at a gust of wind and fell, how could he protect the eldest brother! Ayi, this kid usually thinks he is shrewd, but he did such a stupid thing. Big brother, you really need to be short of people, pick a few from me and replace those who don't make it! ”

"Hehe, no need, although it is not a device, but it is easy to evoke." Xu Chu peeked at Zhang Ying, and saw that her pretty face was flushed, and she was afraid that her little daughter's thin skin would not be able to stand it, so she said to Zifan, "Don't talk nonsense, take me to find Mr. Fengxiao." ”

Zifan closed his mouth, stared at Zhang Ying fiercely, and led the way. Xu Chu noticed that Zhang Ying was only a little shorter when standing next to Zifan.

"Fengxiao, why did you come to the barracks without saying a word." found Guo Jia in Gongsu, and Xu Chu stepped forward to say hello.

Guo Jia didn't seem to hear it, but kept chanting: "Wonderful, wonderful." ”

Xu Chu followed Guo Jia's line of sight, and it turned out that Gong Su was leading the soldiers to practice the mandarin duck formation he said that day.

Zhang Ying was also curious when she saw it, and asked, "What kind of strange formation is this?" ”

"I don't know the name, but there's a lot of way to it. Brother, please see, with the first two strong soldiers as shield and knife hands, it is difficult for the enemy to threaten the people in the rear; There are also many people with long soldiers, advancing in the flank covering the queue; The best thing is that they cooperate with each other to a certain extent, even if the enemy outflanks, they can react quickly, which is really the best weapon against the Yellow Turban Thief. Guo Jia admired again and again, and Zhang Ying also looked at Xu Chu thoughtfully, and the meaning in her eyes seemed to say: You are not useless.

This made Xu Chu a little embarrassed, after all, he was plagiarized from the famous general Qi Jiguang in later generations.

"Don't talk about this, Fengxiao, I have something to ask you for." Xu Chu said.

"What's the matter?" Guo Jia didn't move his eyes and asked.

Xu Chu said his idea of ambushing the vanguard of the thief army, and Guo Jia agreed: "There is a huge disparity in strength, and it is not possible to fight without fighting." Then the conversation suddenly changed, "It's just Zhong Kang, the soldiers are dangerous, if you just want to kill a few thieves, it's not worth it." ”

Xu Chu thought about it and woke up: "Feng Xiao wants to take this opportunity to strengthen the momentum of our army?" ”

"Yes, it's better to lure the enemy to a place where everyone can see it, although the cost is a little bigger, but the reward is more generous, isn't it?"

……

……

In the deserted suburbs eighty miles away from Yanling County, three thousand yellow turban foot soldiers are ready to go.

He Guang looked up at the sky, feeling inexplicably irritable.

The battle was so aggrieved that he finally begged for the vanguard seal from Qu Shuai, but he was told not to exchange fire with the officers and soldiers, as long as he tentatively camped outside the city.

"Phew!" Spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm from his mouth, He Guang felt a little more relieved, it was not the first time he had come to Yanling County, every time the officers and soldiers saw them, they would vacate the place for them to rob. Hmph, this group of eggless seeds, according to his wishes, should have directly occupied the entire county in the past. How long is the food worth in those two places in the north and west of the city? Large families gathered in the east and south of the city, and there were as many women, property, and food as they wanted.

"Hey, Qu Shuai is just too conservative." He Guang sighed and ordered the troops to move.

He Yi, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu, gave him 2,000 people, 2,000 people without water, all of them were men in the prime of life, but their weapons were very shabby, and some people had no swords, so they could only fight with farm tools, but compared to the tens of thousands of troops with wives, children and ploughing cattle in the back, they were still much more elite.

After walking for a long time, in front of a dense forest, He Guangchuan ordered to rest on the spot, and some of his subordinates said to him: "This place is densely wooded and suitable for ambushes, so it is better to send someone to investigate one or two first." ”

He Guang said disdainfully: "Officers and soldiers can only be turtles with shrunken heads, how dare they come to tease my tiger whiskers?" ”

The subordinates glanced at the eyebrow knife in He Guang's hand, and suddenly didn't dare to say more. He Guang has a short temper, and there are hundreds of unjust souls under this eyebrow knife, including innocent people, officers and soldiers, and people in the yellow scarves who angered him.

Especially in order to further his status, he recognized He Yi as his father-in-law and changed his surname to He, and he became even more unscrupulous when he killed people.

After resting, I walked through the dense forest, and sure enough, there were no ambushes. He Guang was very proud, and his contempt for the officials and soldiers was even stronger.

"Look, Chief, there's someone! And two cars! ”

He Guang also saw it, how could there be people with carriages in this place? It looks like the contents of the car are heavy......

"Rush over!"

He Guang took the lead, and those people ran away after they were shocked, and clearly heard someone say: "Go and tell the people in front of you to leave quickly, those twenty carts of grain can't be lost!" ”

And twenty carts of grain?! He Guang's eyes were full of greed, and the yellow scarves that followed behind him also heard it, one to ten, ten to hundred, and soon everyone knew that there were twenty carts of grain waiting for them to grab not far ahead.

Is it a trick of the enemy? Cut, so what, with the 2,000 people under his command, how could he be afraid of the officers and soldiers of Yanling in the field?

"Brethren, follow me!" He Guangda shouted and led people to quickly catch up. Indeed, many chariots were seen fleeing in front, but they were strangely fast, not at all like a baggage cart full of grain.

After chasing for an unknown amount of time, He Guang stared at each other, and suddenly saw a low earthen wall in the distance.

It was chased to the vicinity of Yanling County! He Guang immediately ordered the whole army to stand still, but a large group of men and horses rushed over on the opposite side. At a cursory glance, it should be around five hundred.

"Huh." He Guang was not afraid at all, he turned his head to look at his subordinates.

His subordinates are ready to fight, as long as they are not the most elite Han Dynasty soldiers, He Guang has confidence in them.

For they are all people who have gone through great hardships, great droughts, locust plagues, and harsh government...... When the wild vegetables are eaten up, they eat the bark, and when the bark is eaten up, they eat the soil, and when they eat until their stomachs rise, they have no choice but to eat people.

They are afraid of death, and they have no way to live, so they can only rebel with the great sages and good teachers; They robbed the state and county, killed innocent people, and were guilty people, but they were originally simple peasants, and as long as there was hope of survival, they would never rebel, so they were also innocent.

Fear of hunger, fear of death, because of fear, so there is nothing to fear at the moment.

He Guang raised his arms and shouted: "In order to live, kill!" ”

Two thousand people shouted at the same time, and a killing word broke through the sky, and the big families in the county who stood in the rear to watch the battle were as white as earth.
