Chapter 56: Good News

After Cao De occupied Anzhongcheng, he had become one with Shaanxia and Dengcheng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe biggest opponent of Cao De in the entire Nanyang County is the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng. But there are still about 100,000 Yellow Turban troops in Wancheng. Although the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army is not very good. If it is a field battle, as long as the tactics are used properly. Cao De was also confident that with his 10,000 horses alone, he could tie with the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng. However, it is true that the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army is low, but it is not that the leader of the Yellow Turban Army is also inferior in intelligence. Now that the Yellow Turban Army occupies Wancheng, which is high and deep, who will not take advantage of the favorable conditions.

However, at this moment, there were only more than 5,000 soldiers in the city. Although the main force of the Yellow Turban Army under An Zhong and Shaanxi was wiped out, there were still hundreds of Yellow Turban Army stragglers in various places. The assembly of Cao De's large forces in Anzhong also took a certain amount of time. In order to quickly expand the results of the battle and stabilize the current situation, Cao De sent four or five sweeping teams with five or six hundred people in the direction of eliminating Wancheng with Anzhong as the origin.

Throughout the Central Plains, there is still a war. But the offensive momentum of the Yellow Turban Army has stopped. Although the Yellow Turban Army's offensive momentum in the early stage was very fierce, it was a result achieved when the officers and troops everywhere were defenseless. After the Luoyang side gathered the elite soldiers and fierce generals from all over the country, and encouraged the young heroes from all over the country to spontaneously organize a crusade team. Now the situation of the Yellow Turban Army has shifted from offensive to defensive.

Among them, the Central Army led by Huangfu Song has begun to counterattack the Yellow Turban Army. And Huangfu Song's subordinates gathered Zhu Jun, Cao Cao and other peerless talents to assist, and they were even more powerful. The Central Army led by Huangfu Song had already attacked from the Sili area to Changshe in Yingchuan County. Although Zhu Jun was defeated for some reason at the beginning, with the arrogance of the Yellow Turban Army and other reasons, the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan region has retreated to Yingchuan City step by step. However, Huang Fu Song did not continue to storm the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan as in the original history, but Huang Fu Song alone led 30,000 soldiers to the north into Jizhou, leaving only Zhu Jun and Cao Cao and about 20,000 central troops in the Yingchuan area.

In other places, many heroes have also appeared to suppress the local Yellow Turban Army. Among them, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei of Youzhou, Ding Yuan of Bingzhou, Liu Dai Taoqian of Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and Sun Jian of Yangzhou are the most dazzling. Of course, Cao Dejun's performance is also very eye-catching.

The news of all this came with the return of the messenger that Cao De had sent out to find Cao Cao.

At the beginning, Cao De sent a letter delivery team of more than a dozen people to the direction of Yingchuan according to Cao Cao's movements in later generations. However, most of them were captured by the Yellow Turbans. Due to the Courier's equipment and horses, he was harshly interrogated by the Yellow Turbans. Almost all of the people caught by the Yellow Turbans gave their lives. Only two or three people managed to reach Yingchuan. And at that time, it was the time when Huangfu Song's central army suffered defeat. Therefore, the messenger did not appear, and it was not until Huang Fu Song made a comeback and defeated the Yellow Turban Army that the messenger appeared in front of Huang Fu Song.

In order to identify himself, the messenger first handed Cao De's letter to Huangfu Song to read. At this time, Huangfu Song remembered this Cao De, who used to have the title of Cao Erhezi in Luoyang. Then, Huangfu Song found Zhu Jun and Cao Cao to hear about what Cao De had done after arriving in Hanzhong County and the timely attack on Nanyang County. After learning that Cao De had occupied Dengcheng, Huangfu Song and the three decided to include Cao De's troops in the attack plan after discussion. As a result, Huangfu Song led 30,000 horses north into Jizhou, while Zhu Jun and Cao Cao stayed behind to continue the attack on Yingchuan and Nanyang.

After Huangfu Song left, Zhu Jun and Cao Cao studied Cao De's plan to first besiege Wancheng and then attack Yingchuan. After discussion, the two believed that Cao De's army was infantry, which was not conducive to bypassing Wancheng and then encircling Yingchuan with Cao Cao and Zhu Jun after a long journey. Cao Cao and Zhu Jun had infantry and cavalry under their commands. The infantry could be left to continue to contain the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan, and the cavalry was sent to raid to the northeast of Wancheng, and Cao De formed a flank attack on Wancheng in the southwest.

So, Cao Cao immediately wrote a reply letter to Cao De, informing Cao De of the plan of the Central Army. Then the messenger went out after a few days of day and night, and finally ran into the sweeping team sent by Cao De along the water. After confirmation from both sides, the messenger came straight to Anzhong. He handed Cao Cao's reply to Cao De.

In the letter, Cao Cao first told Cao De about the current situation in the entire Central Plains. Then he told Cao De bluntly, Cao Cao's plan of action after consulting with Zhu Jun.

At the same time, Cao De finally knew that the leader of the Yellow Turban Army who was fighting with him turned out to be Zhao Hong, Han Zhong.

At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Cao De only knew that Zhang Jiao had 36 square commanders under his command. There are only a few of these thirty-six square canal commanders Cao De who know their names. And now it's unwise to spend manpower and time to ask what people are called. Because, in the history of later generations, even if the Yellow Turban Army and the 36 Fang Qu Shuai can leave their names in the history, there are only a few of them, and those few people are either in Jizhou or Yingchuan. Nanyang is not more famous. Therefore, Cao De directly omitted this step and directly pointed at Wancheng.

After Cao De learned the name of the Yellow Turban Army Marshal in Wancheng, he thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with anything more famous that these two people had done. Then Cao De once again strategically despised the enemy.

Subsequently, Cao De immediately ordered the soldiers who were sweeping outside to return to the team. Then he ordered the soldiers in the city to build another batch of siege equipment.

After Xu Shu led a large army to Anzhong. The siege equipment that Cao De needed was almost completed. At this time, Cao De's troops in Anzhong reached more than 8,000 people.

After Cao De waited for Xu Shu to arrive, he immediately began to study the attack plan with Xu Shu. Cao De first took out the reply letter written by Cao Cao, and then Cao De and Xu Shu muttered for an afternoon. The two walked out of the room with smiles on their faces.

Early the next morning. Cao De left a few hundred people to guard Anzhong, and led 8,000 men and horses to Wancheng.

On the way to the march, the scouts sent by Cao De discovered the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army, and under Cao De's previous instructions, they deliberately left a few scouts and ran back to Wancheng with a sigh of fate. Then the movements of Cao Dejun were reported to Zhao Hong, Han Zhong.

Zhao Hong and Han Zhong learned the news, and after a brief discussion, they decided to brake without moving. Cao De drove to the city of Wancheng with great fanfare.

The same Cao Dejun immediately set up camp ten miles outside Wancheng. Pose as if you want to attack Wancheng for a long time. Cao Dejun's army was also due to the lack of troops, so he only set up a camp at the south gate of Wancheng. The art of war is cloudy: ten are encircled, five are attacked, and multiple is divided. Now it is ten times that of the Yellow Turban Army and Cao Dejun. It would be even more stupid to divide the troops again.
