Chapter 68: Jibei City

Cao De led his army to cross the Yellow River at Guandu, and then with lightning speed, he strongly attacked the three cities of Wuchao, Yanjin and Pingqiu. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was broken in the Three Cities, Cao De's murderous reputation also began to spread in the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

After a short rest, Cao De continued to walk downstream along the Yellow River with his soldiers and horses. However, under the successive victories, a terrible thing slowly spread among Cao De's army.

Because of Cao Dejun's repeated vigorous and resolute measures after crossing the Yellow River, Cao De now takes the army to feel the northern country of Jibei leisurely.

Jibei is located in Yanzhou. It is a long and narrow county connecting Qingzhou, Jizhou and Yuzhou in Yanzhou. In the original history, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed, Cao Cao went to Jinan to be the state minister. This northern country of Jibei is a neighbor of Jinan. The two of them are good brothers. Jibei Kingdom was originally a fief of the descendants of the surname Liu, but because of the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the children surnamed Liu did not know whether they ran away or were killed. However, Cao De did not study this issue in depth, regardless of whether you were a fief or a vassal state. As long as there is a Yellow Turban Army, I will go straight to it. There is a big city in Jibei country, and this is Jibei City. Jibei City was originally used as a subordinate seat of governance, and the city built was of course high and deep. Therefore, there were also 30,000 or 40,000 Yellow Turban troops hiding in Jibei City. But who the leader of this Yellow Turban Army is, Cao De really doesn't know. There was no mention of this person in the information given by Huangfu Song, and only told Cao De that there were a large number of Yellow Turban troops here.

Since, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, Huangfu Song, did not mention it, and the famous leaders of the Yellow Turban Army in later generations were basically not here, Cao De expected that this Jibei City would soon become a stepping stone for his ascension. Therefore, Cao De couldn't help but despise this group of Yellow Turban Army in his heart. It makes sense to think about it. Cao De has been leading his army since he set out from Hanzhong County. It has gone through more than a dozen battles, large and small. Although, there were a few thrills, but without exception, Cao De won all of them. Of course, there are several very important battles, and there are many elements of luck, but as everyone knows, luck is also part of strength. Besides, Cao De was originally a very ordinary little ** silk, but he came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty by accident, but he became a general with military power, and he won consecutive battles. Why can't you allow people to be a little complacent.

Cao De, who was a little inflated in his heart, came to the city of Jibei with some troops who were also full of morale. Cao De's original meaning was to wait for the army to arrive at Jibei City, and take Jibei City in one fell swoop with the power of a great victory. However, the light rain that fell for three days in a row stopped Cao De's pace of attacking the city. had to retreat ten miles and set up camp.

On the night when the army was stationed, the light rain that was originally sparse suddenly turned into a pouring rain. From time to time, it is accompanied by thunder and lightning. The usual marching tents and some defensive structures had to be stopped halfway through. As a result, the order to double the arrangement of manpower to patrol the security came out of the Chinese army's big tent.

Although, at this time, Cao De was a little unpopular, and he felt that everything was a piece of cake. However, there is also a Xu Shu who has been staying by Cao De's side. Even though some major strategies were decided by Cao De, Xu Shu still had the right to command some trivial matters.

It rained heavily and it fell almost all night. The next day, Father-in-law Sun, who had not shown up for a few days, finally showed his smiling face. Many Cao Dejun soldiers got out of their tents, took out their clothes and marching bags, and put them in the sun. Finally, I don't have to endure wet clothes and wet tents.

However, the joy of the crowd lasted only a short time before disappearing. The sun in July is just too poisonous. In half a day, the clothes of Cao Dejun's soldiers had been dried, and the muddy roads on the ground due to the rain began to slowly dry and hard. But the sun is at its most fierce after the rain in July. The whole earth is like a steamer, and everything has to be steamed and boiled thoroughly.

At this time, Cao De was still sitting shirtless in his camp tent, looking at the already boring bamboo slips with annoyance. And the soldiers of Cao Dejun, who had no task, stayed in the tent listlessly and refused to go out. Cao De, who originally liked to be lazy, had a justifiable reason to be lazy this time, and he was sympathetic to the soldiers. It was too hot for Cao De to sit shirtless in the tent now, let alone let him stand in the sun at this time.

At this time, the initiative in the situation was in the hands of Cao De. As long as Cao Dejun's camp was not demolished for a day, the Yellow Turban Army in Jibei City would not dare to go out of the city to fight Cao Dejun. Therefore, Cao De was not particularly eager to attack the city. What's more, Cao De is still hesitating whether to fight Jibei City or not. Because, in Cao De's view, Jibei City does not have much weight in Cao De's plan.

However, after Cao De called Xu Shu over, he asked Xu Shu to help analyze it. Cao Decai made up his mind to take Jibei City. According to the current situation, Cao Dejun did not attack Jibeicheng, and could directly find a suitable ferry to cross the Yellow River, and then go straight to Julu. After conquering Jibei City, Cao Dejun could get more supplies, but Cao Dejun's losses were unpredictable. But if you don't fight Jibei City, but cross the river directly, I'm afraid that the Yellow Turban Army in Jibei City will see the opportunity to cause chaos for Cao De. In that case, Cao De's army would most likely be destroyed on the Yellow River.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if. For the sake of conservatism, let's take Jibei City first.

After Cao De made up his mind, he immediately issued an order to attack the city the next day. After receiving the order, the soldiers in the large battalion hurriedly rested and prepared. In order to avoid the hot sun, Cao De specially ordered that he would launch an attack at dawn the next morning, and when the sun was completely rising, it would be best to fight down, and if he could not fight, he would withdraw his troops and return to the camp. The next day the attack was repeated. Anyway, Cao De had more than 10,000 people under his command, and the Yellow Turban Army in the city was only 30,000 or 40,000. Cao De really didn't take people seriously.

As soon as he entered the ugly in the early morning of the next day, smoke began to rise in Cao De's camp. At three o'clock, a full 10,000 soldiers walked out of the camp in a neat line. In less than an hour, Cao De's 10,000-strong army had already set up an offensive formation below Jibei City.

The Yellow Turban Army in Jibei City quickly restored order after the initial chaos. Looking from the city, I saw that the head of Jibei City was already densely packed with people.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the two warring sides were ready to go.

I saw that Cao De was still wearing a very conspicuous bright silver armor, quietly sitting on a horse in the crowd. In front of Cao De, there was a siege force of 4,000 men. These 4,000 people were divided into three echelons by Cao De.

Soon, Cao De slowly pulled out the ring hand knife in his waist and shouted, "Where is Zhou Cang?" Zhou Cang strode up to Cao Dema, knelt on one knee, and replied loudly, "The last general is here."

"Zhou Cang, let you lead a thousand people, dare to rush to the city and step on the yellow scarf!"

"Why don't you dare!"

"Okay, Zhou Cang stepped forward and gave you my big knife to help you."

"Thank you, my lord. However, although the lord's blade is sharp, the last general is used to using the knife in his hand. The lord still kept it first, and when the last general broke this Jibei City, he would reward it to the last general for collection. ”

Cao De laughed after hearing this, "Okay, since that's the case, then I will personally cheer for you!"

Zhou Cang solemnly replied again: "Thank you, lord, please wait for the good news of the last general."

After Zhou Cang finished speaking, he turned around and strode to the front of the three armies. staring at Jibei City in front of him without squinting, he said loudly to the siege troops behind him: "Brothers, we have eaten and drank. It's time to move your muscles. But do you want to eat it again, drink it again? Now, the small city of Jibei in front of us is getting in our way. You say, "What should I do?" ”

The soldiers behind Zhou Cang replied in unison: "Kill, kill, kill." The deafening shouts of killing suddenly broke through the sky and rushed into the sky.

At this time, Cao De had already come to a marching drum and picked up the two drumsticks on the drum stand. At the same time as the shouts of the front army came, Cao De also beat the big drum in front of him hard.

Knock, knock, knock, knock......

The rumbling drums resounded throughout the battlefield. Zhou Cang raised the big knife in his hand. He shouted, "Brethren, the Lord is personally cheering us on." Kill! ”

Before the excitement fell, a thousand siege soldiers followed behind Zhou Cang and rushed towards the opposite Jibei City like a tide.
