Chapter 24: The Battle of Yanzhou V
Li Gan said very implicitly, because Cao Cao came from Dongjun with his troops, and almost all the troops were transferred on this trip, and now Dongjun is equivalent to an empty house with no guards, first come, first served, and at this point, it is obvious that the Yellow Turban Army is one step faster, because they are already standing at the door and knocking on the door.

Once Dongjun is lost, then the situation of the war will not be Cao Cao and Zhang Miao flanking the Yellow Turban Army, but the two of them will fight separately and fall into the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army.
Cao Cao only felt a boulder pressing on his chest, and he was unspeakably depressed.
Since the beginning of the army, he has been suffering constantly: at first and Xiahoudun to Yangzhou to recruit troops, finally gathered more than 5,000 people, the team is vast, I thought this would become his initial capital, how do I know that the army mutiny occurred in the middle of the way, although Xiahoudun slashed several people with a sword, trying to contain the situation, but most of the soldiers defected, and there were only 500 people left...
Not to mention the coalition to discuss Dong, he sent troops with Zhang Miao with great interest, wanting to take this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, rescue Emperor Xian, and revive the Han family, but in addition to Sun Jian's aggressiveness in the coalition army, most of them ate and drank in place, Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, he did not attack, and it was impossible for others to rob the first credit, just like that, the princes from all walks of life mixed in the sour jujube for several months, until Dong Zhuo fled by himself, and never sent a single soldier, so he scattered.
And just returned to Dongjun, before he had time to consolidate his strength, he was attacked and harassed by Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army... In short, there is no moment of peace, and nothing can be considered smooth, to this day, with only more than 20,000 people, they broke the Yellow Turban Army, which should be something worth celebrating, but then they will face the doom of homelessness... Even so, the main force of the 500,000 Yellow Turban Army is still eyeing from the sidelines...
"My lord?" Li Gan saw that Cao Cao didn't speak with a tense face, and asked cautiously, "What should we do now?" Is it to take advantage of the victory to pursue Yu Kou, based in Jibei, or to return to the army to save himself? ”
Cao Cao sighed secretly, he glanced at Li Gan, and said firmly: "Naturally, I returned to the army to save myself, you brought private soldiers to help me, how can I watch your hometown being ruined by thieves?" Puyang is afraid that it will be too late to save it, and wherever it can be saved, will our Yanzhou athletes still be afraid of thieves? ”
Cao Cao said that in the end, he became more and more energetic, although this was the most difficult challenge he had encountered, and he was about to face a battle that was almost impossible to win, but this inexplicably made him excited, he liked to challenge the strong, he liked to challenge his limits.
In just a few breaths, Cao Cao was like a different person, his eyes were glowing with a strange look, revealing a strong self-confidence that only a king has, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a hint of unpredictable smile, and he said loudly: "Order the three armies, immediately lead troops back to help!" We will let these thieves know what the price will be paid for invading Yanzhou! ”
The same sentence, in the council hall in Puyang, has just come out of Cao Ang's mouth, although the two of them said this sentence almost word for word, but the effect is very different, the people in the council hall are not as high-spirited as Cao Ang imagined, but one by one frowns, without saying a word.
No one is a fool, there are only 500 people on their side, and the enemy army has 500,000, this is a gap of 1 to 1,000, if you have 500 Dian Wei, plus 500 Zhang Wei, you can barely fight with the Yellow Turban Army, but the reality is that the soldiers under your command can be regarded as extremely rare to be able to fight with one enemy and two, one enemy and one thousand?
To make an unsightly analogy, if the enemy's 500,000 troops are convenient at the same time, even if the hot wave does not drown these 500 people, the smell of light will smoke all these people to death.
Dian Wei thought for a while, then gave up and shouted: "Forget it, I have a headache to death, what else is there to think about?" The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, let's fight with them, it's a big deal, what is there to be afraid of, anyway, people will die, early death and late death are the same! ”
Xiahoudun said with a smile: "Although General Dian Wei's words are straightforward, they are not unreasonable, but even if we die in battle, we must die well, we must make some arrangements in advance, and we must not let the thieves underestimate us!" I suggest that the eldest son lead 300 cavalry to hold high the banner to attract the attention of the thieves, and then take them around the river in the Lihu area to buy as much time as possible! I, General Dian Wei, and Zhang Wei Gongzi together, will bring some good hands to visit the enemy camp at night, and strive to cut off the heads of a few more enemy generals! ”
Cao Ang nodded, "That's a good idea, but... Isn't there a cavalry for the Yellow Turban Thieves? If they come in several ways to join the siege, how will I escape? ”
Xiahoudun pondered for a while, obviously he hadn't thought about this problem, because for himself, it was difficult for the Yellow Turban Thief's riding skills to catch up with him, even if he caught up, he could easily escape by slashing and killing a few people, but Cao Ang didn't have this ability, and it would be very bad if he was surrounded.
Zhang Wei had an idea and reminded: "In fact, this matter is not difficult, the thief chasing you is nothing more than following the banner, if you really get to the time of difficulty, you might as well put away the flag, dismiss the troops, break it into pieces, and then regroup the team after escaping the pursuit, so that no matter how many troops they send to surround you, it will be difficult to catch you!" However, this method needs to set the meeting place in advance, otherwise the troops will really break up if they fake it, and it will be a big deal! ”
Xiahoudun nodded and praised: "I never thought that Zhang Gongzi was not only strong in martial arts, but also had quite an insight into marching and fighting, and the last general admired it!" He turned his head and said to Cao Ang: "Although this plan is feasible, the eldest son must remember one thing, no matter where he gathers, he must not choose Wu County?" ”
Cao Ang looked ignorant, he was not familiar with the cities and counties around Lihu, and he didn't know what was wrong with Wu County, so he couldn't help asking: "Uncle Xiahou, why can't Wu County be used as a place to stay?" ”
Zhang Wei only felt that this place was very familiar, and he exclaimed: "Wu County? But the rumored haunted Wu County? "Zhang Wei heard Situ Qing mention it in a deserted village in Chenliu County before, but at that time it was just a story, not taken seriously, and never thought that there really was such a place.
Xiahoudun nodded solemnly and said: "It seems that Zhang Gongzi has also heard this rumor, although I don't know if this rumor is true or not, but there is indeed such a place in Jiyin County, and it was abandoned decades ago, and no one has ever lived there!" Moreover, Wu County is located in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by mountains and dense forests, if people who are not familiar with the road walk in, it is indeed difficult to distinguish the direction, so no matter what, the eldest son must not set foot here! ”
