When Huangfu Song received an urgent letter from Yilang Tao Qian, he had just finished checking the condition of the wounded soldiers. He took out the "Caihou paper" full of handwriting, and said with a smile to the Congzi Emperor Fu Li beside him:

"This Tao Gongzu still likes these strange things so much."

At that time, people mainly used all kinds of bamboo slips and wooden slips, or silk cloth. Although the eunuch Cai Lun successfully created a novelty like "paper" decades ago. However, due to various reasons, some technical, and more political, "Caihou paper" was not widely popular in the Han Kingdom. At present, most of the official documents in the imperial court are still written in wooden and bamboo slips, and not many use paper.

Tao Qian's calligraphy is still quite high. On this rather primitive piece of paper, the following is written:

Humility paused. According to the moth thief of Dong'a, the discipline is purged and the combat power is strong, which is extraordinary. If you don't strike today, it will be a great disaster. In order to avoid disaster, the servant specially attacked him with "righteous obedience". I hope that the general will quickly come to the aid of him with fine cavalry. Bow down.

-- The gang of moths and thieves who occupied the county town of Dong'e are very powerful! If you don't find a way to get rid of it now, you'll be in big trouble in the future! I have sent my civilian volunteers to pursue me, so send elite soldiers to help me!

After reading it, Huangfu Song frowned and said:

"This Tao Gongzu doesn't know the priorities too much, right? Guan Hai, who was obviously in Gucheng County, was one of the eight disciples under Zhang Jiaozuo, with tens of thousands of troops, threatening the flank of the army. The situation is such that he is bent on chasing down a small team of nameless. ”

Huangfu Li thought for a while and said:

"Although Tao Yilang is nicknamed 'old naughty boy' in private, he never looks like a child's play. Since he attaches so much importance to it, there must be a reason for him, right? ”

At this time, the pro-soldier reported:

"General, Captain Cao asks to see!"

Huangfu Song nodded, but after a moment, a person who was short, about six feet long, but his whole body was full of energy, as if he was about to overflow, walked in from the door like a gust of wind. As soon as Huangfu Song saw this person, he immediately called out cordially:

"Meng De, you have a lot of old history in Yanzhou, and you are familiar with the local war. Let's take a look at Tao Gongzu's letter. ”

Cao Cao and Cao Mengde took the letterhead, glanced at it, and said with a smile:

"Hasn't the Great Kou of Yanzhou been destroyed by the general? Now only Guan Hai is left as a guest army. Tao Gongzu picked out such a powerful thief from which crack in the ground? ”

Huang Fu Li didn't want to express his position immediately when he saw Huang Fu Song, so he said:

"Captain Cao, have you ever heard of the name of the moth thief who has recently appeared in Yanzhou from the local heroes?"

Cao Cao didn't think twice, opened his mouth and replied:

Bao Yuncheng mentioned in the letter that there are no less than ten small moth thieves in Yanzhou. However, they are all a rabble with insufficient troops. Only the Guanhai Division, which had recently fled from Qingzhou, had a bandit under his command who called himself the 'Tianping Army', and it was said that there were '10,000 enemies' who repeatedly defeated the official army. In the letter, Bao Yuncheng specially reminded me many times that if I meet this 'Tianping Army', I must not underestimate the enemy. ”

Huang Fu Li continued to ask:

"Captain Cao, in your opinion, how should you deal with Tao Yilang's request?"

"The jackal is in charge, Ann asks the fox!"

Cao Mengde waved his arm and shouted:

"The current enemy, the first to push Guan Hai! If you don't take advantage of Guan Hai's wandering to the guest country and being unfamiliar with the geography, encircle and suppress with heavy troops, and wait until Guan Hai and his Tianping army escape back to Qingzhou, then the situation of the host and guest on both sides will be completely reversed! ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, looked at the letterhead in his hand, and spread his hands easily:

"Tao Gongzu was originally a councilor, not a general in the army, how can he discuss the actions of the army lightly? Anyway, the Son of Heaven only gave Tao Gongzu the right to integrate the volunteers. Isn't there another volunteer now? Send this volunteer army to him, and it will be over? ”

Huangfu Song knew that Cao Cao had always been resourceful and decisive, and he deeply appreciated Bao Xin, the commander who was in charge of the Yanzhou Prefecture Division. Since Cao Cao and Bao Xin both believed that the "Tianping Army" under Guan Hai was the most important enemy of the Han army, Huangfu Song also had an idea in his heart.

However, because Tao Yilang's face needed to be saved, Huangfu Song still wrote a sincere letterhead, which was brought over by a small cavalry unit sent to support Tao Qian.

When Yilang Tao Qian received a reply from Huangfu Song, Liu Yishi, who he had dispatched, had already seen the Tianping army advancing north.

Liu Yishi's natural surname is Liu, and his single name is prepared. His lineage is said to have been traced back to Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan.

Although a few generations ago, Liu Bei's family lost the title of the Han family. However, relying on the banner of "Han clan relatives", compared with ordinary ordinary people, Liu Bei is still naturally able to get some additional benefits when he acts.

For example, now, among the more than 400 volunteers around Liu Bei, the one who ranks first in bravery is Guan Yu of Hedong Jieliang; The paper is the best, this is Zhuojun Zhang Fei; But in the end, the leader recognized by everyone was still Liu Bei. In addition to Liu Bei's generosity, fairness, gentleness and amiability, another key factor is:

Liu Bei was a descendant of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.

With this identity, Liu Bei pulled up a volunteer army so that he would not be suspicious. If you change to a cat or a dog, you just have to prove that you want to rebel if you pull up this team, you have to go to great lengths.

Therefore, after entangled these four or five hundred volunteers, even if Liu Bei acted a bit of a scoundrel, blackmailed the local merchants Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, and obtained a number of weapons and horses, they were ignored by the local officials.

However, it is really not an easy task to make such a volunteer army organized by the people can be successfully maintained.

Although Zhang Fei's family is quite wealthy, they provided these volunteers with food and grass for a month. However, in these years, there is a great drought in the world and a great chaos in the world, and the landlord's family has no surplus food!

If you want to get food, grass and other supplies, there is only one word:

- Fight!

-- Fight hard against all kinds of thieves!

After the battle was won, the booty looted by the thieves became the spoils of the volunteers.

If you lose, the ending will be natural......

If everyone is dead, then there is nothing to worry about......

However, Liu Bei is also a smart person. Under his leadership, he rarely provoked those thieves who were too numerous, and tried to avoid face-to-face battles with the enemy. In most cases, Liu Bei's commander's volunteers always took advantage of the enemy's defenselessness to suddenly kill.

Relying on the bravery of himself and his subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei fought for several months and maintained the team very well. Of course, there will be no fewer ups and downs in this.

Some time ago, after Liu Bei wiped out the small Yellow Turban Army around Zhuo County, he heard that his teacher, Lu Zhi, the great Confucian of the time, was appointed by the imperial court as the general of Beizhong Lang, and now he is leading the Han army to fight the Yellow Turban Army personally commanded by Zhang Jiao in Hebei.

With this news, Liu Bei managed to persuade the rest of the team to pull the team south, wanting to make some meritorious achievements under the care of his teacher Lu Zhi, so that he could find an official position or something in the future.

It's a pity that he just led the team to Lu Zhi's men, and within a few days, Lu Zhi was actually imprisoned by the imperial court!

ps: Character - Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song can be called the first general of the Han Dynasty in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It's a pity that this famous general died of illness at the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, and as a result, he was evaluated as a second- and third-rate ordinary military general by the Dark Glory series of Three Kingdoms games.

Huangfu Song was born in a family of Jiangmen, and was one of the "Liangzhou Sanming" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the nephew of Huangfu Gui, the general of Duliao. The Yellow Turban Army's uprising, which shook the world, was almost quelled by Huangfu Song alone, leading the army one by one. Later, the Qiang people in Liangzhou rebelled, and Huangfu Song also won many battles. In the battles he commanded, there were almost no examples of defeat, and it can really be said that it was close to the level of "winning all battles". Even Cao Cao's record, when compared with Huangfu Song, inevitably feels dwarfed.

Huang Fu Li is Huang Fu Song's nephew, and has always followed Huang Fu Song's side and participated in Huang Fu Song's various secret plans.
