Just when Li Pengfei was desperate in his heart to find a top-level strategist, a person stood up and said loudly: "Lord, please listen to me. ”

It was none other than Li Pengfei who spoke, but Han Dang, who Li Pengfei thought was the same type as Zhang Fei, a reckless man.

Li Pengfei nodded and said, "Yigong, what do you think, just say it." ”

Han Dang said loudly: "Lord, I know the doubts in your heart, the foot soldiers I trained with Pengju were all yellow turbans and anti-thieves before this, in such a short period of time, whether it is the loyalty of these foot soldiers or their combat strength, it is difficult to gain your trust Lord Duke." ”

After a pause, Han Dang continued: "Han Dang also understands the lord's doubts. But I have something to say. According to what I have been with these brothers for half a month, I know very well that these brothers do not want to be rebels, if they are not really unable to live, how can they rebel? Through the communication with the brothers, I learned that these brothers did not drive them out like other armies of the imperial court under the absolute superiority of the lord on the battlefield, but accepted their surrender, and the brothers were very grateful to the lord and were very attentive in their usual training, and everyone hoped to follow the lord to make a career. ”

Li Pengfei nodded, of course he knew how lovely the common people of our country were, they were the easiest people in the world to satisfy, and as long as there was still a way to live, they would not rebel. He knew better what the real root cause of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was. These were the basis for his present attitude towards these Yellow Turban captives.

Seeing that Li Pengfei recognized his words, Han Dang said again: "Now, Quanzhou City is facing a huge predicament, and the only hope for victory is for the lord to lead the cavalry army out of the city and let the foot soldiers defend the city. After the Yellow Turbans' troops were defeated in the siege, they led a large army to join forces with the defenders of the city, and finally defeated the invading enemy. Please believe that the brothers of these foot soldiers may not be able to follow the lord to fight, but there is no problem in defending the city. ”

Han Dang's words made Li Pengfei's eyes light up. Now his only chance to win is to let the pawns stay in the city and contain the main force of the Yellow Turbans. And he himself led the cavalry troops out to guerrilla warfare, seeking fighters.

However, although Han Dang's words are reasonable, they cannot give Li Pengfei confidence. According to the judgment of the system, the combat effectiveness of these foot soldiers has not even reached the level of a preliminary army, and it can only be said that they are slightly stronger than the rabble.

Li Pengfei was silent. He didn't dare to make a decision easily, because the stakes were high, Quanzhou City was his lair, his home was here, and if something went wrong, he couldn't afford the consequences.

At this moment, Yue Fei also stood up, bowed to Li Pengfei, and said: "Lord, what the righteous prince said is also what Fei thinks, please believe in flying, and before the lord finds a suitable fighter, Quanzhou will not be lost." ”

Seeing that Yue Fei said this, Li Pengfei was a little moved. As a descendant, he knew how strong Yue Fei's commanding ability was. This is a figure that has been recited through the ages and can be called a god of war. Li Pengfei could not believe Han Dang, or he could not believe in the infantry force composed of 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, but he could not help but believe Yue Fei.

What's more, this is indeed his only chance to win now.

After pondering for a while, Li Pengfei said: "Since Pengju has said so, of course I have no objection. In this way, Yun Chang and I will lead 5,000 horsemen out of the city, leaving 500 horsemen in the city as Pengju's personal guards. ”

Yue Fei nodded and agreed. He really needs some elite strength in his hands, otherwise, he will really be all foot soldiers who have not undergone much training, and he will not be absolutely sure to defend the city.

That night, Li Pengfei and Guan Yu, with 5,000 iron horsemen, quietly left Quanzhou City and disappeared into the vast northern Hebei Plain. And Yue Fei, Cheng Pu and Han Dang stayed in Quanzhou City, commanding 20,000 foot soldiers and 2,000 county soldiers to guard the city.

Three days later, Zhang Qun personally led 40,000 elite troops of the Yellow Turban Army to Quanzhou.

Quanzhou City is much larger than Tuyin City, the length of the city wall has reached 20 li (8 kilometers), and the height has reached 4 zhang (9.2 meters). Although Quanzhou City is not on the side of the Gu River, its moat is connected to the Gu River, and the moat formed by the water of the Gu River has reached a terrifying width of five zhang (11.5 meters).

In such a city, even if the Yellow Turban Army came and had a total of more than 50,000 troops, it would be impossible to surround it and attack it on all sides.

Moreover, when attacking a city, the general emphasis is on encircling three corners and one, giving the defenders a little hope of escaping and reducing their will to die. Zhang Qun is a wise man in the Yellow Turban Army, and he naturally understands these truths.

Zhang Qunqin led an army of 30,000 to attack the North City Gate, and let his brother Zhang Feng lead an army of 10,000 to attack the East City Gate of Quanzhou. The West City Gate was left to Zhang Bao's confidant Gao Xiang. Gao Xiang has 10,000 elite troops sent by Zhang Bao under his command, but now Gao Xiang has not yet arrived in Quanzhou City.

……

Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, has been very irritable lately, or rather, he has been very irritable for almost three months since February.

The Yellow Turban Thieves swept through the 28 counties of the Seven Prefectures of the Han Dynasty, the officers and soldiers were defeated repeatedly, and the Yellow Turban Thieves were quite invincible, even if he had let the general He Jin send the elite of the Northern Army, the situation still did not improve. The messengers traveled back and forth between Beijing and the prefectures, but all the bad news came in.

Just a few days ago, the messenger came to report that the northern army led by Zhu Jun was defeated by the Yellow Turban Bocai again, and the Huangfu Song, who rushed to support, saw that the Yellow Turban was strong, so he could only retreat. Then, the tens of thousands of elites of the Northern Army led by the two were surrounded in Changshe City.

Hearing the news, Liu Hong almost vomited blood on the spot. This is my general? This is the famous Han general touted by the officials? This is the army that is cultivated at the cost of millions of dollars every year? They can't even deal with a mere moth thief, so what do you expect from them?

At the court meeting the next day, the furious Son of Heaven ordered Yousi to go to Yuzhou to take Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song back to Beijing to ask for the guilt. However, in the end, it failed and was dissuaded by the officials.

And the Son of Heaven, who had regained his sanity a little, also figured it out a little, and after taking down these two people, those wine bags and rice bags in the court would only be even more unbearable.

And what made the Son of Heaven feel the most angry was that he had to continue to organize reinforcements to rescue the besieged Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Because the troops led by the two of them are the garrison troops of Luoyang, the capital division. Once surrounded and annihilated by the Yellow Turban Moth thieves, Luoyang, the capital division, will no longer have any troops to defend.

Just when the Son of Heaven was frightened and worried, a eunuch hurriedly ran in, running all the way and shouting: "Your Majesty, good news, good news!" ”

The Son of Heaven looked up and saw that it was Lu Qiang, the servant of Zhongchang.

When Lu Qiang saw the Son of Heaven looking over, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Youzhou good news, Li Yi, a native of Youzhou, was ordered by the Son of Heaven to form a righteous army, and then went out to fight the moth thieves, wiped out 100,000 yellow turbans in three battles, and beheaded the thief chieftains Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao!" ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said loudly: "Where is the good news?" ”

Lu Qiang hurriedly ran over and presented the good news.

There are two good news, one of which was sent by Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Youbeiping County, saying that he joined forces with Li Yi in Youbeiping to exterminate 80,000 Yellow Turban Moth thieves in a battle and behead Cheng Yuanzhi; The other was sent by Li Pengfei to the Beijing Division, which gave a general report on the process of his deployment for the three wars.

Comparing the two good news, it seems that there should be no mistake.

The mood of the Son of Heaven has finally improved a little.

Ever since the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves had erupted, he had finally heard good news.
