Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Net of Heaven and Earth I
Youzhou is located in the north, and the most obvious topography in the north is the mountain. Mountain after mountain winds and turns, stretching for thousands of miles, often you work hard to cross a continuous mountain, only to find that there is a bigger mountain in front of you, which makes you collapse.
Huangfu Song stood on the top of a mountain with a cold face, he was wearing a chain of iron leaf armor, a phoenix-winged golden helmet, and the cloak behind him was fluttering in the wind.
"How's everything going to get Gongwei ready?"
Zhu Jun, who was standing side by side with Huangfu Song, nodded slightly and said, "Everything is ready." Just waiting for the Yellow Turban Thieves to plunge headlong into our net. ”
"Zhongde, this is a very important matter. Your plan is perfect, but isn't it too hasty to send Dong Zhuo as the main force? Huangfu Song said lightly squeezing his eyebrows. He has been so tired lately that he hasn't had a good rest for several days in order to lay this net.
Cheng Yu, who was standing behind the two people in front, immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Huangfu Gong, Dong Zhuo is brutal but brave, which is the key to this plan. I think this person is the best person to be. ”
Huangfu Song said "um" and was silent.
Gaoyang, a county under the jurisdiction of Youzhou, is located in the south of Ji County, Youzhou. Although the city is not large, because it is the only way to attack Youzhou, the city defense construction is extremely solid.
At this time, Dong Zhuogao sat in the county office, and the county magistrate could only sit in the third position. Because Dong Zhuo has always been in charge, then the second place must be Li Ru and Li Wenyou.
At this time, Li Ru closed his brows, closed his eyes tightly, gently stroked his fingers and tapped the table for a while, and suddenly he opened his eyes, like a cold light swept a glance at everyone seat.
Of all the generals who were glanced, some lowered their heads, some turned their heads to one side, and none of them dared to look at them. Because everyone present accepted the fact that angering Dong Zhuo was just a matter of a meal, but if you angered the smiling scribe in front of you, you could only live rather than die.
"Father-in-law, this battle between our army and the Yellow Turban Bandits is both beneficial and harmful, I hope my father-in-law will think about it." Li Ru said with a flat face.
"Huh? Wen Youche said let's hear it. ”
"This battle ......" Li Ru was about to say, but suddenly turned his head and said coldly to the county order: "Lord of the county order, you are tired and avoided." ”
"Huh?" The county commander was stunned, his face changed, and his heart was on fire. I, the supreme leader of Gaoyang County, dare to despise me so much? But when he glared at Li Ru, he suddenly shuddered. What kind of eyes are they?
There is a scorching poison in the gloom, and the gray and cold gaze seems to be a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time. No one could have imagined that the gentle scribe in front of him had such a terrifying look.
"In ...... Next...... There was pain in the abdomen, and I asked Dong Gong to forgive him. The county commander suddenly stammered.
"Well, you go down." Since the county order has eyesight, Dong Zhuo didn't bother to reprimand him. Just waved his hand to let him down. ,
Li Ru continued what he had just said: "In this battle, our army served as the main force to defeat the Yellow Turban Thief and capture Zhang Jiao. The first is that the prestige of the father-in-law in the Kanto region has grown rapidly, the second is that the father-in-law's official position will definitely be moved up, and the third is that the imperial court will relax its guard against the father-in-law because of this. So it's a trio. ”
"Well, what about the harm you just mentioned?" Dong Zhuo grabbed a piece of meat with his big rough hands and said while eating. The food is simply like gluttonous regeneration.
Li Ru, who was already used to it, looked at Dong Zhuo eating meat indifferently, and said calmly: "The emperor announced this net, and the ultimate goal is not the yellow turban thief Zhang Jiao, but the thief's first treasure. If Zhang Bao is captured, it will be beneficial and harmless, if it can't be caught. I am afraid that our army will become Zhang Bao's mortal enemy. ”
Dong Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Isn't it just a thief's first treasure, and it is also worthy of Wen You's solemnity?" ”
"Father-in-law, don't underestimate Zhang Bao." Li Ru said solemnly: "I ordered someone to collect a lot of information about Zhang Bao. This person is as cunning as a fox with soldiers, and he is even more discerning and talented. I heard that the strategy of the drama under this person's account is not under the son-in-law, so Guan Hai, Zhou Cang's martial arts are even less enemies. Moreover, this person is good at boosting morale and often turns the tide of battle in an instant. Therefore, the father-in-law must not underestimate this person. ”
Dong Zhuo was slightly surprised: "Zhang Bao is so powerful?" Wen You. What do you think? ”
Li Ru flashed a sly look: "The Emperor Fu ordered us to capture Zhang Jiao and kill him on the spot to combat the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army." In this way, our army will directly offend Zhang Bao, and the father-in-law may wish to keep his life, if Zhang Bao can be caught, he will be killed, if he can't be caught, Zhang Jiao can be left to the Huangfu Gong to deal with. ”
"Haha. Wen You really deserves to be the old man's brain. Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard what he said.
Cheng Yuanzhi, as the vanguard of the army, naturally opened the road all the way to the mountains and built bridges when encountering water. Since the last ambush, Cheng Yuanzhi has been cautious all the way, with cautious thoughts, but he has been safe and sound.
Until the border of Gaoyang, there were scouts to report, and a large number of cavalry appeared in Gaoyang County. Cheng Yuanzhi was taken aback, quickly retreated from Gaoyang for dozens of miles and set up camp, and urgently sent the information to Zhangjiao in the rear.
It is said that Zhang Jiao led the army, all the way to the dust, and came to Youzhou in a mighty rush. Suddenly received an urgent report from Cheng Yuanzhi, and he chuckled in his heart: Could it be that Cheng Yuanzhi was ambushed again?
Zhang Jiao, who opened the letter, was dumbfounded, and a large number of cavalry appeared in Gao Yang. At this moment, Zhang Jiao's heart twitched fiercely, is God going to kill me? Although Youzhou is a war horse production area, how could Liu Yu possibly recruit cavalry?
"The whole army stopped advancing." Zhang Jiao loudly gave the order to stop advancing. The heralds ran back and forth in the long and unseen line.
"General Tiangong has an order, and the whole army will stop advancing."
"General Tiangong has an order, and the whole army will stop advancing."
Bian Xi, who was originally a gangster, later joined the Yellow Turban Army, and became the Yellow Turban Xiaoqu Shuai with his fists and feet. It's a pity that he is greedy and has been caught.
The route that the large army traveled all the way was the route given by the man in black that day. Suddenly, he heard the herald's words: General Tiangong ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and he chuckled in his heart.
When Bian Xi came to Zhangjiao's army, the generals had already surrounded Zhangjiao. Seeing Bian Xi finally arrive, Zhang Jiao said loudly: "Everyone, Cheng Yuanzhi has sent information that Gaoyang has a large number of cavalry commanders. ”
"How is that possible?" Everyone's first reaction was: How could there be cavalry in Gao Yang? Cavalry has always been the king of the battlefield, but it is also the most expensive type of troops. Isn't Liu Yu in Youzhou not heavy on military affairs? How is it possible to raise cavalry?
"General Tiangong." Bian Xi was afraid that Zhang Jiao would change the route of the march, so he immediately stepped forward and said: "The appearance of a large number of cavalry in Gaoyang is enough to show that Liu Yu in Youzhou has already received the news that our army is coming to attack. However, Liu Yu has never been heavy on military affairs, and now the hasty recruitment of cavalry is just a false suspicion. Now that our army has broken through the enemy's might, the battle of Gaoyang can be determined. General Tiangong must hesitate. In the city of Zhe, this war horse is ours. God think about it, our army and Switzerland formed this cavalry team, and it was not invincible in the sand? ”
Zhang Jiao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Bian Xi, you can use your brain more, it's really a great blessing for our army." Then he turned to the crowd and said, "What do you think?" ”
"This ...... "Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, this decision is very important, and it will affect the whole body, and it is not just a matter of casual talk here." If this decision causes the Yellow Turban Army to fall in, it will be a dead end.
Seeing this, Bian Xi was anxious, and shouted loudly: "You and others are all middle and high-level generals of the Yellow Turban Army, and they are not much taller than me, Xiaoqu Shuai. Now that I am Xiaoqu Shuai, I have the courage to move forward, but I don't have the courage to shout? ”
Someone was provoked by Bian Xi, and immediately said: "General Tiangong, the last general agrees with what Bian Xi said." Someone took the lead, and more and more people began to agree with Bian Xi's opinion.
Zhang Jiao saw that everyone had a unified opinion, and his heart was settled. Immediately ordered to open the road to Gaoyang
