Winter is not a good season for marching, and freezing weather can easily lead to a lot of non-combat attrition, not to mention that it is very problematic to replenish troops on the spot when military rations are insufficient. It stands to reason that these Yellow Turban thieves, who have no source of military resources at all, and many of them do not even have thick clothes, have caused more damage in this cold winter weather than the attrition of their troops, which is tantamount to self-destruction of their foundations, and it is impossible to launch an attack on Beihai County in this season. But the fact made Beihai Taishou Kong Rong very depressed, since the early winter when the Yellow Turban of Zichuan Kingdom descended Lu Bu, the action of the Yellow Turban of the three counties around Beihai County is very strange, this is not just after the New Year, the dense Yellow Turban thieves attacked without warning, surrounded Beihai County, claiming to borrow grain for the winter.

Although poor Beihai County is a relatively large grain-producing area in Qingzhou, under the governance of Taishou Kong Rong, it has formed an alliance with Gongsun Zhan, and has escaped the scourge of swords and soldiers several times. But this can't be a reason to feed the dense yellow turban thieves outside the city.

At this time, in the Beihai Taishou Mansion, Kong Rong, the twentieth grandson of the sage Kong who was half a hundred years old, was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and the Confucian demeanor that had always boasted of being romantic had long been thrown to Java, and the civil and military officials of Beihai County, who had studied for several days and did not come up with a good idea, also had to bear Kong Rong's growing anger.

"You guys have come up with an idea, they talk about current affairs, they are conceited, and now they are talking!" Kong Rong's gray hair looked a little messy, and his voice was extremely hoarse, which was impossible for Kong Taishou, who attached great importance to his appearance, but now no one bothered to remind him.

800,000 excited Yellow Turban thieves, even if it is 800,000 pigs, it is not something that only 8,000 soldiers in the city can resist. Beihai Wenwu kept silent one by one, like a wood carving, allowing Kong Rong to be angry and not daring to move, lest he be caught out and make a fool of himself if he made a little noise.

"Shuzhi, you are quite resourceful to help a certain person govern the Beihai, but you have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Seeing that none of the people below spoke, a trace of anger flashed on Kong Rong's face, and he asked the first person on the right by name in a gloomy voice.

"Don't worry, my lord, a few days ago, I sent a messenger for help before the Yellow Turban arrived, and I must have arrived at Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zhan. Although there are many Yellow Turban offenders this time, these people are all heroes of the world, and there are countless elite soldiers under their command, and they will make the Yellow Turban retreat! The lord only needs to focus on defense and wait with peace of mind! The scribe who was named wiped the sweat from his forehead without a trace, and said with a smile on his face. It is Wang Xiu, the master of the Beihai Taishou Mansion.

"Uncle Zhimo wants to comfort me with kind words!" After listening to Wang Xiu's words, Kong Rong frowned, sighed heavily, waved his hand and said: "Although Kong Mouping concentrates on learning and rarely asks about political affairs, he also knows that Yuan Shao of Hebei and Nagongsun Zan are fighting fiercely at the moment, how can the two families have the spare strength to divide their troops?" Yuan Shao is even more because Gongsun Zan has an alliance with a certain alliance, and the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai recommended by him is in my place, and he is quite dissatisfied with Kong, how can he send troops to help? And although Xuzhou Tao Qian has Danyang elite soldiers in hand, he has never had any friendship with me, and when the princes asked for Dong, they didn't care about a certain invitation, so how could they try their best to save it? As for Gongsun Zhan, with Yuan Shao blocking the way, he has a heart, and he is afraid of it! ”

"Lord, in fact, there is still one person to ask for!" Wang Xiu cautiously looked at Kong Rong, who was full of sorrow, and said: "Although this person does not have many troops, his strength should not be underestimated, if he is willing to send troops, Beihai will definitely be safe." Just ...... the main father-in-law"

"Shuzhi Mo is going to say it! Kong would rather be in the hands of the Yellow Turban thief than bow his head to the rebellious minister and thief! Kong Rong seemed to have long expected who Wang Xiu was talking about, so he interrupted Wang Xiu's words without thinking about it, and refused: "Let's think about how to defend Beihai City and wait for help!" ”

Just kidding, who is he Kong Rong? The twentieth grandson of Confucius, the descendant of the old Confucian family. To put it mildly, since Emperor Wu respected Confucianism, all the Confucian scholars and officials of the Han Dynasty can be regarded as coming from his Confucian family. Even if he Kong Rong is just a Beihai Taishou now, his reputation in Shilin is top-notch.

And who is Wang Xiu talking about? Lu Bu! In Kong Rong's eyes, Lu Bu was only a small official in terms of background, and he was even more reckless in terms of learning, and he was still a murderer who aided and abused before, even if he was lucky enough to kill the national thief Dong Zhuo in the end, it was also Zihao's father and concubine, and he had to do it as a last resort after his love was revealed, and his reputation was even more infamous. Being in the same state with this thief already made Kong Rong disgusted, let alone bowing to him for help.

You must know that since Qingzhou was stolen by this thief, Kong Rong, who is the Taishou of Beihai, has never urinated on him at all. Even if he saw the return of Qi County, Zichuan, Qiancheng and other counties, and finally even the Jinan Kingdom, which was the foundation of the old Kong family, was taken away by Lu Bu, Kong Rong still had this idea, even if he was powerless to stop it, he would definitely not let Beihai be easily taken by this person. Besides, it has been insisted on for so long, and Gongsun Zhan's appointment of Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai has also been in Beihai for a few months, even if he is willing to give up his face and be convinced, when the time comes, it will be a big deal to disobey the yang and yin, and he has to take care of the views of his own alliance.

"Lord, General Wu Anguo asks to see you!" An attendant cautiously walked into the dreary council hall, and said in a low voice with light steps. However, Kong Rong, whose attention was not here because of Wang Xiu's words, was taken aback.

"Wu Anguo? Hurry, hurry, please! "If it is according to Kong Rongping's surname, this chamberlain will shock the head of the family, and even if he doesn't get a few whips, he will have to suffer some flesh and skin. But at this moment, Kong Rong didn't care about the trouble of this chamberlain, and hurriedly ordered. Now Beihai City can be said to be in danger, Kong Rongping said that he only emphasizes the style of writing, and the ability of a few junior colonels who know the soldiers is not even as good as the yellow scarf outside the city, and the only general who can get it at hand is this old general who has been idle and recuperating after the first battle of Tiger Prison Pass. It's just that since Wu Anguo's left wrist was cut off by Lu Bu's halberd in the Battle of Tiger Prison, his combat power has been greatly reduced, so that Kong Rong, who returned to Beihai, has paid close attention to Wu Anguo, and in recent months, he has almost left Wu Anguo idle in the name of cultivation, and he doesn't have to ask anymore. Kong Rong never thought that Wu Anguo would take the initiative to come at this time.

"My lord, the last general heard that the Yellow Turban thief Kou was coming to attack Beihai, and I am here to listen to the dispatch of the lord!" With the inquirement, a strong man with a height of more than eight feet strode in, ignoring everyone in the hall, and went straight to Kong Rong kneeling on one knee and saluting. The rude spirit was undiminished, which made Kong Rong's eyes suddenly light up.

"Anguo, your old wounds have not healed, and Rong Ben doesn't want to alarm you! During this time, I haven't arranged anything for you, just so that you can recuperate with peace of mind! Kong Rong grabbed Wu Anguo's bare left wrist with a guilty face, made a caring look, and said softly: "But it's okay if you come." Now the Yellow Turban is overwhelming, with you, Rong can also rest assured, I have an country, I will be able to rejuvenate the country, this Beihai defense can also be said to be worry-free! ”

"My lord! Wu has been favored by the lord for more than ten years, and he has already saved the heart of serving with death, although he is disabled, he can still dance with a hammer in his hand, and his heart to serve the lord has not changed at all! Please try it out, this has Wu, which will inevitably make Beihai unharmed! A mighty man like Wu Anguo was sour by Kong Rong's sensational words, and said loudly.

Wang Xiu on the side saw that Kong Rong and Wu Anguo could still make such a virtuous and loyal appearance at this time, and couldn't help but show a wry smile. Is the North Sea unharmed? The Yellow Turban Thieves are 800,000, although most of them are old and weak, women and children, but with the 8,000 soldiers in Beihai County who have not been trained for a long time, compared with the terrifying strength of one to 100, how can they be held as simply as the two said? Besides, Wu Anguo injured his left hand, he couldn't ride a horse anymore, it was impossible to go out of the city to face the battle, didn't these two people understand the truth that they would lose if they defended for a long time? Now I can only hope that the news sent to Kong Chang, the head of the Kong family of Jinan State, who was the side branch of the same sect as Kong Rong, a few days ago, can be smoothly brought to Lu Bu, hoping that Lu Bunian will bring troops to rescue him as soon as possible.

Although Kong Rong was frightened by the Yellow Turban siege outside the city, with Wu Anguo, a brave general who could last more than ten rounds under Lu Bu, joined, he really felt a little less worried, and subconsciously increased his hope for a few reinforcements as Wang Xiu said, and Lu Bu also completed the final preparations in Linzi City.

"I order! With Zhang Liao and Qin Yi leading the 3,000 cavalry battalions as the vanguard, it is said that the soldiers and horses will be rectified and sent to Beihai County! Win the first battle! ”

"No!"

"With Hou Cheng and Cao's Shengong battalion of 5,000 people cooperating with Sima Zanghong to lead 3,000 county soldiers to sit in Linzi and guard the door!"

"No!"

"With Qin Xu, Lu Yi, and the lead of the camp, 1,000 and 2,000 heavy soldiers as the rear army to escort the grain and grass needed by the army, there must be no loss!"

"No!"

"Buzi led the trapping camp, and the 7,000 people of the pro-guard battalion were the Chinese army, with Guo Jia as the military division, and they said that they would open and attack the Beihai directly!"

"No!"

In the big tent of the Linzi barracks, Lu Bu wore a helmet and armor, and issued military orders one after another in high spirits. This time, Lu Bu is really going to enjoy it. With more than 10,000 elite soldiers, against 800,000 Yellow Turban thieves, even if it is Lu Bu, a battle-hardened and invincible god of war, he does not dare to say that he is 100% sure.

Fortunately, under Qin Xu's roundabout advice, Lu Bu finally extinguished his plan to fight hard with the Yellow Turban, and through secret discussions with Qin Xu, Guo Jia, Gao Shun and others, he reached a strategy of seeking appeasement by war. What's more, Cao Ying is also worried that Lu Bu will lose, and Yuan Shao, who has the upper hand on the battlefield in Hebei, will take the opportunity to pick peaches, and the timely move of giving in to the soft will can be described as the right time and place, and the recovery of the entire territory of Qingzhou is in sight in one fell swoop.
