Puyang, the city of governance in Dongjun. The current Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao is after the Liang Guoqiao clan, and his uncle Qiao Xuan is the Taichang of the current dynasty, the minister in charge of the rituals of heaven and earth, gods, and human ghosts, similar to the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Rites, is one of the nine Qings, and is a staunch member of the Shizu faction.

As Qiao Xuan's nephew, Qiao Mao is naturally a staunch supporter of the Shi Clan faction, and this person is also after the Qiao clan of the Liang State, in this era when knowledge is in the hands of the Shi clan gatekeeper, Qiao Mao is not to say that he is knowledgeable, but he also has a certain talent.

Although Qiao Mao is good at internal affairs, Qiao Mao is also a little involved in military war strategies, so in this era of yellow turban swarming, Qiao Mao only relied on these 3,000 county soldiers, using various military books and battle strategies recorded in the city defense methods, as well as relatively sufficient defensive equipment, to withstand the onslaught of 100,000 yellow turban troops.

This Yellow Turban Army besieging Puyang was the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao's disciple, Bu Ji. Since the uprising, Bu Ji has integrated several other large and small square commanders in Yanzhou, and has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

This Yellow Turban Army of tens of thousands of people destroyed the city all the way, and even went down to seven or eight counties such as Baima, Yanxian, Dunqiu, and Weiguo.

At most, there were as many as 200,000 people, excluding the Yellow Turban Army guarding these counties, Bu Ji personally led an army of 130,000 to attack this Puyang City. However, if you don't want to attack for more than ten days in a row, this small Puyang city is as tough as a rock and difficult to capture.

Not only that, Bu Ji's troops also lost troops under Puyang City, and now they have dropped to 100,000. The bigger problem facing the Yellow Turban Army, which is not in production, is not that it cannot break through Puyang, but that the grain and grass are about to run out. After all, the 100,000 soldiers eat horses and chew horses, and the speed of consumption is still extremely fast, how can the grain captured by the Yellow Turban Army supply the continuous combat of the 100,000 army?

In desperation, Bu Ji had no choice but to order Qu Shuai He Yi and He Man brothers to lead 10,000 horses out to prey, and then they met the father and daughter of the Cai family who moved their families.

When He Man returned to the besieging camp with the remaining dozens of cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers, the military academy guarding the gate did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to Daqu Shuai Buji.

In the big tent of the Yellow Turban Army, Bu Ji, who was wearing iron armor and a yellow cloth scarf wrapped around his head, was sitting on his lap, and there were twenty or thirty elite soldiers standing on both sides.

"He Man, why are you so embarrassed?" , Bu Ji, who was in the prime of life, snorted coldly and asked.

"Hey! Not to mention, at the end of today, I will take five hundred sons and daughters to meet the emperor Cai Yong's father and daughter, I wanted to capture them and dedicate them to the marshal, but I didn't want to kill two people and a Han cavalry in the oblique stab, and take away Cai Yan, who was white-skinned and snowy, and the country was beautiful and fragrant, and also damaged hundreds of my brothers, what a fucking bad luck", He Man sighed and said eloquently.

As soon as he heard that there was a beautiful woman, he lost two and a half souls of three souls at that time, and shouted angrily: "Who dares to be so bold and rob my Bu Ji woman?" ”。 Dare to love this Cai Yan has not yet reached his hands, and she has already become her woman, which is really shameless.

These words also flashed in He Man's heart, but Bu Ji's words also hit He Man's heart, so he heard He Man say: "These two people claim to be Changshan Xiahoulan and Liu Jin, the general of Pingzhonglang, and their martial arts are also commonplace, the key is that the cavalry under the banner of the governor of Youzhou is too numerous, and the last general has fallen short."

"Hmph, no matter who he is, a woman who dares to rob this handsome is bound to die, how many men and horses are there in this cavalry?" , Bu Ji was furious, and said with a sneer.

He Man, who was kneeling on the ground, squinted at Bu Ji with slanted eyes, and said in his heart: "His mother's old horseman, sooner or later, will die on a woman's belly", but He Man is also a battle-hardened person, and said with a trace of contempt on his face: "It's not much, it's only more than a thousand rides." With the army of the handsome here, it must be possible to recapture Cai Yan in the near future, and the handsome will be able to hehehehe."

Bu Ji was very happy to be slapped by He Man's sycophant, thinking that as long as he mobilized men and horses, he would definitely be able to annihilate this cavalry and recapture Cai Yan, he couldn't help but show a lewd smile on his face, and said with an expression that he was sure to win: "He Qushuai is right, you immediately take the general order of this commander, go and mobilize 2,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, and you must recapture Cai Yan for me."

Hearing this, He Man's face showed joy, and he said in his heart: "The opportunity for revenge has come."

"Dashuai, don't be so troublesome, although the last general failed to capture Cai Yan, he captured the old man Cai"

"What's the use of an old fellow, pull me down and slaughter me", Bu Ji interrupted He Man's words and said nonchalantly.

"No, no, no, Dashuai, with this old man Cai in his hands, I am not afraid that the two will not come to die, we just need to let out the wind, and explain that the old man Cai will be beheaded at noon tomorrow to show the public, with the so-called benevolence, righteousness and filial piety of those nerds, they will inevitably come to save people." We just need to do this, and we will definitely be able to capture the beauty." He Man hurriedly stopped the herald who was about to go out, and said flatteringly.

Hearing this, Bu Ji's obscene face smiled gloomily and kept nodding. After He Man finished speaking, Bu Ji immediately said: "Okay, good, sure enough, the order will go down, just do what you say, and go ahead and prepare quickly."

The spring breeze is clear, and everything begins to recover.

A cavalry of 6,000 men gathered together and watched from afar the huge siege camp of the Yellow Turban Army in the distance.

"Report to the governor, it's been investigated. The Yellow Turban thieves besieged the city on all sides, and there were 20,000 people stationed in the East Gate Camp and the West Gate Camp each, and the leaders were He Yi and He Man. There are 10,000 people stationed in the camp at the north gate, and the banner is garrisoned by Qu Shuai, and the main camp in the south has the most soldiers and horses, with 50,000 people, led by the thief leader Bu Ji himself." A scout sprang up and spoke at a brisk pace.

Hearing this, Liu Jin nodded lightly and said, "Explore and report again."

The scout took the order and left, Liu Jin turned sideways and said to Gongsun Zhan, who was riding a white horse next to him: "Brother Bogui, now that the Yellow Turban Army is strong, our army is weak, I don't know if Brother Bogui has a good strategy to break the enemy."

When the white horse general Gongsun Zan heard this, he pondered for a long time, and then said confidently: "Dudu, according to the last general, although there are many Yellow Turban thieves, there are many old, weak, sick and disabled people, which is called weak soldiers. Moreover, He Yi and He Man's generation are just local chickens and dogs, and there is a horse lance of Zhan, so they must die one by one, and two die with a pair, which is called weak. In addition, the Yellow Turban Thieves have many foot soldiers, lack sufficient weapons and armor, and the war horses are also insufficient.

When Liu Jin heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Bo Gui, do you have any clever plan, come quickly."

"I have three strategies to break the enemy, one of them, with the elite combat power of our northern elite cavalry, taking advantage of the dispersion of the Yellow Turban thieves' forces, leading the army straight to the South Gate camp, Bu Ji can be captured in a battle, Bu Ji is dead, the three main generals of the Yellow Turban Army will inevitably fight for the position of the head of the thief. In this way, we will have no trouble breaking this yellow scarf." Gongsun Chan said slowly, looking at Liu Jin's expression.

I saw that Liu Jin nodded first, and then shook his head and said: "It's not proper, our troops are limited, and such a hard fight will inevitably cause heavy losses." I don't know when this war will be fought, these sons and daughters are the brave and elite horses of my big man, and I can lose one less person, and one more person can go home to reunite with my family in the future."

"The governor is benevolent and righteous, we are willing to rely on the governor to drive away, and there will be no regrets until death", Liu Jin's gentle words were immediately heard clearly by the hundred and ten sons and daughters nearby. These people were grateful to Liu Jin for showing compassion to themselves and others, and they couldn't help but shout in unison, and Liu Jin hurriedly waved his hand to stop them.

"This place is not far from the Yellow Turban Camp, and we still need to be careful not to make loud noises. Brother Bogui, you go on." After Liu Jin stopped everyone, he turned to Gongsun Chan and said.

Gongsun Zhan listened to the words of the nearby soldiers, and sighed in his heart: "Killing slaves has won the hearts of the army in such a few simple words, and I can't do it!" ”。

"Governor, we can also take advantage of the fast horse, divide into several teams to constantly attack the Yellow Turban Army, and when it is tired and sleepy, then the last general will lead the elite to rush straight to the Buji camp, and the Governor can also lead the army to break the enemy when they meet outside." Gongsun Chan said again.

After hearing this, Liu Jin nodded, and said, "This plan is good, but the younger brother wants to hear Brother Bogui's third plan."

Gongsun Zhan smiled when he heard this, and said in a cold voice: "There is a way that there is no one who plans poison to be starved of food, we just need to attack the place where the Yellow Turban thieves store food at night." Without food and grass, the Yellow Turban thieves will surely collapse without a fight, and the time comes."

Before Gongsun Chan could finish speaking, Liu Jin gently waved his hand to stop Gongsun Chan's words. I heard Liu Jin say in a heavy tone: "This plan is too vicious, although the 100,000 yellow turbans under Puyang City rebelled, but they are also the people of my Han Dynasty, they were forced to have no choice but to do this great rebellion, if they cut off the grain and grass of the yellow turban thieves, wouldn't they ignore the death and life of 100,000 living beings."

"Report to the governor, the Yellow Turban Army has spread the news that at noon tomorrow, Cai Zhonglang will be beheaded for public display, and the flag will be sacrificed to attack the city. even threatened to break Puyang, no chickens and dogs will be left, and all will be slaughtered."

When Cai Yan, who had been beside Liu Jin, heard the scout's words, he suddenly turned pale with fright, his breath was short, and his tears were like pearls with broken threads, dripping uncontrollably on the saddle and skirt corners.

Hearing the cry, Liu Jin knew that it was Cai Yan who was crying, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him: "Zhao Ji (Cai Yan's character, but later the Jin Dynasty was established, and the historian changed it to Wen Ji in order to avoid committing taboos with Sima Zhao's Zhao character) rest assured, even if he throws away his remnants, he will definitely save Cai Zhonglang."

"The governor can't, how can he ignore the life and death of thousands of troops because of one person, this must be the plan of the yellow turban thief to invite you into the urn, and the governor can't be tricked", without waiting for Cai Yan to speak, Gongsun Zhan immediately opened his mouth to dissuade him.

When Liu Jin heard this, he said arrogantly: "Brother Bogui, rest assured, the younger brother is not a reckless person, and he already has a plan to break the enemy in his heart." Tomorrow, the younger brother will lead his subordinates to break into the camp first, and Brother Bogui can lead 3,000 white horses to help each other when the battle is in full swing. The remaining 1,000 Youzhou elite cavalry can wave their flags and shout outside the camp, thinking that they are suspicious soldiers, and they can enter again when necessary, so that they can break the yellow turban thief and invite you into the urn."

Hearing this, Gongsun Zhan was stunned, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of Liu Jin's plan, and after a long time, he nodded and said in agreement: "Du Du has a clever plan, it is better to do so!" ”。

"Engong did this, Yan was really uneasy in his heart"

"Zhao Ji doesn't have to be like this, Liu is a member of the Han clan, and now the Yellow Turban thieves are in turmoil, if we and other people from the clan can't take the lead and stain the battlefield with blood, how can we serve the public? , how can he assist His Majesty to support the Han family? Liu Jin interrupted Cai Yan's words and said calmly.

Cai Yan is a well-known talented woman, and her mind is so smart. Of course, she understood what Liu Jin said, but she just wanted to make herself not too guilty, so she couldn't help but blush slightly, and her tears stopped.

"Engong, your injuries have not healed, how can you lead the army to rush and kill, why don't you let Zhao Ji go to the Yellow Turban Camp in exchange for her father's freedom!" , Cai Yan's cheeks were flushed, and he said softly, as if he was endlessly concerned.

When Liu Jin heard this, he said confidently: "Just a yellow turban thief, even if a person is seriously injured, he can kill him three times in and three out with only one arm and a single halberd."

These words were arrogant, but everyone did not intervene, and they were secretly saying in their hearts: "Is the camp of 100,000 people really so easy to break through?" (To be continued)
