In February of the second year of Chuping, Zhang Bao adopted Guo Tu's plan and took advantage of the fact that the Goguryeo general Tuwuhu led a large army to rescue Gongsun Du and the capital was empty, and led the Karasuma cavalry to gallop all the way and raid the inner city of Goguryeo.

In March, Karasuma rode straight into the city, fought a success, and even went down to the seventeen cities of Goguryeo, beheaded tens of thousands, and the Karasuma iron cavalry passed, the city was destroyed, the chickens and dogs were not left, and within a thousand miles, there was no one to live, and the Goguryeo people who had just flourished were wiped out.

In April, the capital of Goguryeo was broken, and Pegu was killed, Zhang Bao ordered the city to be slaughtered for three days, and the strong men in the country were killed and wounded, and the women were all taken captive as slaves, and Goguryeo was in a slump from then on~

In the same month, the Kwantung Coalition Army led by Yuan Shao, on the one hand, did not relax its vigilance against Dong Zhuo of Xiliang who caused chaos in the dynasty, and on the other hand, the four-way army of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Ba Yi, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Qiao Mao, Qiao Cao of Qiaojun Taishou, and Zhang Chao of Guangling Taishou went north to Youzhou, and the prelude to the attack on the Yellow Turban officially kicked off~

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

In late May of the second year of Chuping, Zhang Bao returned to the Yellow Turban Camp.

Zhang Bao's clothes were not untied, and he strode into the tent with a horsewhip in his hand, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, Guan Ning, Hua Xin, Bing Yuan, Dian Wei, He Man and other generals followed closely, and with a flick of the cloak, Zhang Bao sat down on the handsome seat.

"Everyone~The matter is urgent~" Zhang Bao's eyes turned to Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu, and asked, "Strategist, what is the current situation of our army?" ”

Xi Zhicai straightened his clothes, Huo Ran got up and bowed forward and said: "A few months ago, Dong Zhuo issued an edict to canonize the lord as the assassin of Youzhou, putting our army in the target of public criticism. Two months ago, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Bayi, Yanzhou Assassin Shi Qiao Mao, Qiaojun Taishou Cao Cao, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao and others led an army of 100,000 to the north, and the momentum was surging. Among them, there were 70,000 infantry soldiers and 30,000 cavalry, respectively Chen Bing and Yongji, Anci, and Quanzhou, and a large amount of grain and baggage were continuously transported to Quanzhou from various counties in the Central Plains, and Liu Bei recruited troops and horses in Bohai in the name of the descendants of the Han family, and the situation was very critical. ”

"Hmm~" Zhang Bao nodded and said in a deep voice, "What about the grain and grass that our army is stationed in the river?" ”

"I have already arranged for the two generals Huanglong and Guan Hai to transport a large amount of grain and grass to Shanggu County~ As for the remaining grain and grass~" Xi Zhicai said this, bowed his head and said, "I dared to order that all of them will be burned ~"

"It's okay~" Zhang Bao waved his hand and said, "Even if it is burned, it is better than the enemy~"

Jia Xu continued: "Xu and Zhicai agreed to order the three generals Yu She, Liao Hua, and Zhang Niujiao to lead an army of 100,000 to hold Yijing and prevent the enemy from moving north. ”

Zhang Bao asked again: "What is the situation of the alien race outside the Saiwai?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Since last year, Putou was defeated by General Gao Shun, and the tribes such as Kebineng, Putou, Tuoba, and Lonely have already joined forces, and they are eyeing my Youzhou in the north~"

"Hmm!"

Zhang Bao stood up, strode to the north wall, looked at the military topographic map hanging on the wall and fell into contemplation, Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai took a few steps forward, standing around Zhang Bao, Xi Zhicai took a breath and said in a low voice: "Lord, now the Kwantung Coalition Army is violent, but there is no need to be afraid. Although it is a coalition army, they are not from each other, each has different intentions, and will not easily fight a decisive battle with our army. However, the various tribes of Xianbei outside the Saiwai have formed an alliance and are eyeing our Youzhou, which is the sword hanging over our heads. ”

Zhang Bao turned his back to Xi Zhicai, bowed his head slightly, and said in a condensed voice: "Although the coalition forces have different hearts, their hearts to destroy our army will not be reduced, and this general expects that in the next one to two years, it will be difficult for our army to change the predicament of being attacked from all sides!" In such a situation, it is no longer possible to take care of the Xianbei people in Mobei, can you have a good way to stop the Xianbei people? ”

Jia Xu said: "There are two strategies, upper and lower, which can be chosen by the lord. ”

"What's the best policy?"

"The best strategy is to allocate a large army, and while the Kwantung Coalition Army has not yet launched an attack on our army, Xianbei will be driven into the deep wilderness in one fell swoop, and it will be difficult for Xianbei to recover for several years."

Zhang Baodao: "This plan is good, but at present, our army is under enemy on all sides, and we really can't draw enough troops to attack the outside of the fortress, let's talk about the next strategy." ”

Jia Xu said: "The next strategy is a desperate plan." ”

"Will the plan be released?"

"Without him, burn the grassland ear!"

"Burning the grasslands?" Zhang Bao said awe-inspiringly, "Wenhe, you are asking for the life of Xianbei people!" Once this grassland fire burns, not only will there be no grass, but I am afraid that even the birds and beasts on the grassland, as well as cattle, sheep and livestock, will not be spared~"

A cold smile bloomed at the corner of Jia Xu's mouth, and he said in a condensed voice: "If you want to prevent the Xianbei people from becoming strong, creating a man-made natural disaster is undoubtedly the best way. ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Bao's eyes flickered and he began to fall into contemplation.

"Lord, although this plan has a dry heaven and peace, but the people who die are all barbarians, what does it have to do with my big man? And it can relieve the worries of the lord, why not? Jia Xu's stinging gaze swept over a fierce color, and he said in a condensed voice, "But this time is summer, if you want to implement this plan, you still need to wait until September~"

"There are still four months~" Zhang Bao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Wenhe, this matter is up to you." ”

Jia Xu bowed his head and said, "Obey orders!" ”

Zhang Bao turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai and asked, "Military Division, how are the people of Jizhou who migrated to Shanggu and Daijun arranged?" How well are the canals dug? Is the grain sown? ”

Xi Zhicai said: "General Guo sent someone to send a book to say that Shanggu, Daijun, Guangyang, and Zhuo County have opened three deep canals and 18 shallow canals, all of which lead water from the Wei River. Another grain has been planted, this year's rain is sufficient, and at the time of the autumn harvest, our army no longer has to be constrained by grain and grass~"

"Good~" Zhang Bao's face was full of joy, all the grain and grass of the Yellow Turban Army since the uprising were robbed from the big households in the state and county, but even if these people have more grain, there will be a day when they will be robbed, and now Zhang Bao no longer has to worry about the grass, as long as the first season of grain can be harvested smoothly, Youzhou will completely become the rear granary of the Yellow Turban Army to conquer the world~

"Military advisor, order Guo Da, Xu Chu, Zhou Cang, and Guan Hai to come to the camp to listen to the order~" Zhang Bao groaned slightly, turned his head to look at Bing Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Genju, this general knows that you are good at governance, how about Mr. Shanggu, Guangyang, and Daijun preside over the overall situation?" ”

Bing Yuan said respectfully: "I wish to receive my life!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Bao bowed his head lightly, and said, "Summoning Bu Ji back, Gaoyang City doesn't have to be guarded~"

Zhang Bao said this, his brows furrowed slightly: "What about Gao Shun?" Where is Gao Shun's trapped camp now? Xianbei has formed an alliance, and Gao Shun's trapped camp is afraid that it is in danger! ”

"Don't worry, lord!" Jia Xu stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "General Guo has already led his troops to meet General Gao Shun and the trapped camp, and went to Shanggu County~" (To be continued.) )
