In the high night of leading the army to attack head-on, he never thought that He Man would defend Cai County. After all, the Yellow Turbans www.biquge.info are just a group of rabble, and although they have ravaged Runan for so many years, they can't change the nature of their weak military. They are just a group of poor people, who have neither professional military training nor a complete logistical support system. If they fight with the wind, they can still go into battle to kill the enemy, and once the war is unfavorable, they will be the first to collapse.

As soon as Gao Ye came up, he used Mount Tai to press the top and attacked Cai County. Although Gao Ye only had 5,000 men, half of the number of yellow turbans in the city, his combat strength was more than twice as high. The Yellow Turban, who was already afraid, no longer had any idea of fighting from the moment He Man fled, and it was logical that he was taken into custody. In this battle, Gao Ye only lost more than 100 people, so he took Cai County and surrendered at least 8,000 yellow scarves, a result that even Gao Ye didn't expect. But this is also thanks to He Man, if he hadn't escaped early, the yellow turban would not have collapsed so quickly.

However, He Man, who escaped, did not have much luck, and the art of war had three deficiencies in Yunwei, just to make the officers and soldiers defending the city not have the psychology of dying. Especially in Caixian, there are only two city gates, and you only need to hit one and put one in the night. Coupled with the fact that he does not have many people, it will naturally give He Man the illusion that his troops are insufficient. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Gao Ye had ordered Zhang Liao to go to the south gate to ambush him the night before, and he must completely kill He Man.

Zhang Liao naturally lives up to expectations, a person who can become the head of Cao Wei's famous five good generals will not be able to do such a trivial thing well. Although it takes a lot of experience and systematic learning to become a famous player, talent is also crucial. Zhang Liao's natural capital is not bad, coupled with the military theories of later generations who have studied with him for so long, the current Zhang Liao, except for the lack of practical combat experience, can already touch the threshold of famous generals. As long as there are one or two big battles for him to play, Zhang Liao will inevitably have the title of a famous general. In history, Zhang Liao's famous battle was in Heqi, where he first attacked Sun Quan's 100,000 army with 800 soldiers, and hit Sun Quan's commander alive, which made Sun Quan frightened. Later, with 7,000 people, he broke the army of 100,000 and almost captured Sun Quan alive. In later generations, some people praised him as the first famous general of Cao Wei, so Gao Ye sent him to do such a trivial matter, how could Zhang Liao make a mistake?

Zhang Liao immediately beheaded He Man, and directly asked people to take He Man's head to see Gao Ye, while he himself took his headquarters and continued to approach Runan City according to Gao Ye's instructions. Gao Ye never worried that Liu Pi and the others would abandon the city with their men, they were different from He Man, and their subordinates were not all soldiers who could fight. With the drag of 30,000 women and children, it is not so easy to transfer. What's more, Runan City is high and deep, which can also give them a little more confidence.

Of course, this bit of confidence is also limited, Liu Bi and Gong Du originally heard that when Gao Yebing attacked He Man, they still had a bit of schadenfreude in their hearts. After all, He Man and their brothers have never been all the way. At that time, He Man was bent on plundering Yingchuan, but the two of them were unwilling, mainly because they were afraid that Gao Ye would come to retaliate. But He Man insisted on going his own way, and was driven out of Runan by their brothers.

It's just that the news that Liu Bi has received now is not good, a few days ago, Zhou Cang of Woniu Mountain came to him with a few people covered in blood, and he let him into the city because he was familiar with Zhou Cang back then. When I asked, I found out that it was they who robbed Gao Ye's scouts, and Gao Ye knocked down the cottage, Pei Yuanshao's whereabouts are unknown, and he himself rolled off the cliff to escape with his life. Especially when he knew that Gao Ye only brought a hundred people, and more than 500 of them were killed, Liu Pi knew He Man's fate. It's just that he still has the illusion that Gao Ye is not interested in making trouble with him, and he doesn't dare to provoke Gao Ye's killing god, so he has a bystander attitude towards He Man's destruction.

It's just that Zhang Liao's men and horses are said to have rushed to Runan, and it was only at this time that Liu Bi really panicked. Although he had nearly 50,000 soldiers under his command who could fight, Gao Ye only had 5,000 men and horses, and ten times the strength seemed overwhelming, but Liu Pi himself knew that this was just an illusion. Let's not talk about how many of these 50,000 people are disabled and how many are old, let's just say that among the only more than 10,000 young people, how many people can compare with the combat effectiveness of the Yingchuan soldiers? When he was in Wancheng, Sun Jian only used 3,000 soldiers and horses to kill Zhang Mancheng and lose his armor, and now he is a more elite Yingchuan soldier than Jiangdong soldiers, can he really stop it?

But the current situation can't help but think about it too much, Zhang Liao, who has already killed Runan, is like a life-urging talisman, stimulating the hearts of Liu Bi and Gong Du. The two of them plus Zhou Cang borrowed wine in the big tent together to eliminate their sorrows, but the pressure in front of them was so great that Liu Bi and Gong couldn't breathe, even if it was their favorite wine on weekdays, now it tastes the same as chewing wax in their mouths, if they were born five hundred years later, maybe they would know that this is what Li Bai called "raising a glass to eliminate sorrow and sorrow".

"Yuanfu, you fought with Gao Ye, is that Gao Ye really as brave as the legend?" Liu Bi drank another glass of wine before asking. Even he didn't know that this was the first time he had asked.

"Alas, to be honest, my old Zhou also thinks he is powerful, but in Gao Ye's hands, he can't even walk down! He is only a hundred soldiers, and he has leveled my cottage, how can I not be afraid? ”

"Big brother, let's run away." Gong Du on the side suddenly said, "Now the plan, I'm afraid that I won't be able to escape if I don't wait." This high night is clearly to kill all the yellow turbans in our Runan, so we quickly gather our men and horses, and escape as soon as possible while the high night has not yet arrived. ”

"No, you see the man who is camped under the city today, and his men are all cavalry. If we are to flee, how can we escape the pursuit of the cavalry? Liu Bi shook his head and said, "We are now in Runan City, we can still rely on the city to fight with that high night, if we escape, we will encounter a large group of cavalry in the wilderness, and our lives will be at risk!" ”

"Big brother, I have an idea." Gong Duhu's pupils shrank, and he said to Liu Pi: "That high night is a famous man in the world, and he also has the name of loving the people. We forcibly dragged the people together, thinking that the high night would definitely take care of the lives of the people and his own reputation, and would not dare to attack us! ”

Liu Bi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, but Zhou Cang on the side shook his head again and again, and retorted: "In the eyes of the people, we are all yellow turban thieves, and the two occupy Runan, and the reason why the people don't oppose it is because they are afraid that we have knives in our hands." But if it is forcibly coerced, the people are unwilling to leave, and there will be trouble, and Runan will immediately be in chaos. Gao Ye's cavalry is already in the city, and his brigade is expected to arrive tomorrow. When the time comes, before we retreat, Gao Ye will kill the generals first, so what can I do? "Zhou Cang was originally a chess piece inserted by Gao Ye, and he knew Gao Ye's plan very well in his heart. Gao Ye is for the population here, and now he is sitting with Liu Bi and Gong, how can he let the two of them do such a thing? If the two of them really coerce the people and leave, their lord's plan will be over.

Liu Bi drank another glass of wine, and the cup slammed on the table, and then said: "What Yuanfu said is reasonable. Besides, if that high night really wanted to destroy us, it would certainly not care for the lives of the people. When the time comes, he only needs to say that these people are all fellow Yellow Turbans, what will his reputation be damaged? Lao Gong, this method doesn't work. ”

When Gong Du heard this, his expression was also dark, Liu Bi was right, as long as Gao Ye pressed the hat of a yellow scarf remnant on the people, there was no need to be soft-hearted when killing. Also, in this Runan territory, how many people have ended up with a broken family because they were forced to press the hat of a yellow turban party member by the powerful people from all over the country. At least half of the yellow turbans in Runan City were forced to come in this way.

"Big brother, what are we going to do now? Except for the old and the weak, there are only 30,000 of us who can fight. There are only a few thousand people who really have some combat effectiveness. Even if these people defend the city, they won't be able to defend it. That Gong Du was already a little angry now, and his voice couldn't help but raise a lot.

"I don't know about this!" Liu Bi's voice also raised, "But for now, we can only stick here." Thinking about the high night labor expedition, the grain and grass must be insufficient. This Runan City is high and deep, no matter how powerful he is at night, it is not easy to beat down. Besides, it's October, and the weather is much colder. If I can guard him for a month or two, then I will retreat without a fight! ”

"Actually......" Zhou Cang muttered on the side, and Liu Bi and Gong Du all looked straight at Zhou Cang, wanting to hear what he thought now. Zhou Cangyi raised his head, looked at the two of them and said, "Actually, I can still surrender Gao Ye." ”

"Yuanfu, you're crazy! Want us to surrender to the court dog officer? Gong Du jumped up at once and looked at Zhou Cang with a shocked expression. Zhou Cang said unhurriedly: "Before that high night, in Yingchuan, we Yellow Turban tribes were not wiped out, but let them work and farm to survive. Not long ago, I heard that Gao Ye fulfilled his promise to the Yellow Turban tribe to 'do five years of naturalization', which led to a great shortage of labor in Yingchuan. Maybe that's why he likes Runan. ”

Liu Bi's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and said: "If that's the case, even if it is a surrender to Gao Ye, it is not a bad thing." He needs the population, so naturally he won't kill us all. ”

"But what if that high night doesn't have this plan?" Gong Du actually already had the idea of surrendering in his heart, but he was still not very at ease with Gao Ye. In fact, it's not just Gao Ye, he is not at ease with all the Han officials. After all, he will rebel, and he is not forced out by these corrupt officials.

"Let's take a look first. Anyway, in this Runan City, the high night can't be beaten in a day. If it really gets to the point where we can't do anything, I'll wait for it to beg again. I'd better rest so I can deal with the high night. Alas......" Liu Pi set the tone for this matter with a single sentence. But the huge pressure also made Liu Bi feel a little loveless.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the pressure on Gao Ye on him was not only that, but in five days, the huge catapult outside the city, the huge flying stones, and the bloody corpse after being smashed made the yellow scarves in the city on the verge of collapse. Even Liu Pi and Gong Du were frightened. Although catapults were invented in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they began to be used on a large scale in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Therefore, Liu Pi and Gong have not seen it, and it is also common sense.

It's just that such a terrifying siege equipment came out, and Gao Ye didn't even send anyone to send it, so he let his side lose morale and was on the verge of collapse, Liu Bi felt that there was no need to fight this battle at all. Even Gong Du trembled and said, "Big... Big brother, let's still ...... Come down. ”
