"If it were our army, there would be a ......"

Zang Ba's words were not finished. However, everyone present naturally understood the meaning of this sentence.

- Strategists are rare!

――It's even more rare for a strategist who is willing to join the Yellow Turban Army......

“…… Qu Shuai, when it comes to the ...... of strategists, a certain family has heard of it......"

"Huh?"

Zhang Madness turned his head, and two sharp eyes like knives stared at the slightly presumptuous speaker, making the speaker suddenly feel like a mang on his back.

This speaker, who is a local Taiping Dao believer, has provided the Tianping Army with a lot of important news about Gucheng County.

"Qu Shuai ......"

"Tell me about the rumors of the strategists?"

The insolent gaze turned soft. With the encouragement of Insolence, the local believer of Taiping Dao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then began to tell what he knew about the existence of a ruthless strategist in a neighboring county.

“…… When our Yellow Turban Army just started the incident, the county prince was also a believer in this way, and he responded to it and burned down the warehouse in the county. At this moment, the county ordered the county to flee from the city, and the people fled east to the mountains of Quqiu Mountain.

At this time, the man ordered someone to spy on Wang Du, and found that Wang Du was handsome, and the empty city could not be defended, so he went out of the city five or six miles west of the city and stationed troops in the local area. The man then said to Xue Fang and others, who were big households in the county:

Now the king and others cannot live in the city, and their potential can be measured. He just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder his property, and he did not have the will to attack and defend with strong armor. Why don't we go back to the city one after another to defend it? ……

And the city is high and thick, and there is a lot of grain, and now if you return to the city, find the county order, and hold it together, Wang Du will not be able to stay for a long time, and if you attack him at that time, Wang Du will be broken. ……’

…… Xue Fang and the others thought so, but the officials refused to obey. The man had no choice but to say, 'Do not make great things happen to foolish people.' ’

But that's not the end of the story. After that, this person secretly sent several horsemen, held high the flag on the east mountain, let Xue Fang and others see it, and then shouted, 'The thieves have attacked!' Then he went down the mountain and took the city!

When the officials saw the situation, they followed them, and finally found the county order and defended the city together. Later, Wang Du Xiaoshuai brought people to attack the city, but because the soldiers were too small to break through, he was about to retreat. At this time, this person actually led the officials to open the city gate to pursue, and as a result, Wang Du Xiaoshuai was defeated!

If it weren't for that, Dong'e County would already be the territory of my Yellow Turban Rebels! ”

After listening to the local believer, there was silence around Zhang Mad. This man's strategy is ingenious and easy, but the most chilling thing is the ruthlessness in the strategy.

-- Not to the enemy, but to yourself!

"It's really ruthless......"

Wang Guo commented in a low voice.

"It's good that it's not in our camp. Such a guy, a certain family doesn't want to stay with him. ”

Dian Wei said. However, it is clear that not everyone thinks this way. For example, Yu Ban said to Shen Fu in private:

"This one is doing great things!"

At this moment, in my heart, I was thinking about something else.

――Dong'e County? Where is ejiao produced? What historical celebrities have been produced?

――Surname Cheng, name? Something familiar......

-- With such outstanding intelligence, he should not be an unknown person.

――But I don't think I've heard this name in the Three Kingdoms materials I've seen and played.

- Could it be ......

This large amount of thoughts flashed through his mind, but his arrogant face did not change. He said to Wang Guo:

"Military division, if Dong'e County is not restrained, it will be difficult for our army to converge with 'Bu Jishuai'. However, Cheng Li is not only brilliant in wisdom, but also surprisingly courageous. With this person, it will be difficult to overcome Dong'e County......"

Wang Guo thought for a while, then turned his face and asked the local believer:

"How do you know so much about this?"

The local believer smiled bitterly and said:

"Don't hide it from your masters, the cousin of a certain family is Wang Du Xiaoshuai......"

When Wang Guo heard this, his spirits perked up, and then he asked:

"So, can you still find lurking fellow Daoists in Dong'e County?"

The believer is again a wry smile:

"When my cousin responded to the Yellow Turban Uprising, he had already exhausted all the people he could mobilize."

Wang Guo then asked:

"Where is your cousin now?"

The believer replied:

"After my cousin's defeat was defeated, he couldn't stand in the county, so he took people south and went to the 'Marshal of Buji'!"

"Oh......"

Wang Guo asked this, quite disappointed. Insolent in my heart, I was also a little worried. There is such a strategist who knows the key to the battle situation, and he is watching from the sidelines. That means that if the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army wants to smoothly cross Dong'e County and join the army of "Bu Jishuai", I am afraid that it will be very difficult.

When the crowd had dispersed, and Jay returned to his tent, and before he had yet sat down to drink a glass of water, he heard the guard report:

"Lord, Zang Baichang asks to see you!"

Zhang Qiang let Zang Ba enter the military tent, talked for a quarter of an hour, and then asked the guards to call the local believer just now, and discussed for a while.

The guards were a little curious, but they didn't bother to ask. It's just that in the words coming out of the tent, you can occasionally hear words such as "Cheng Li" and "Dong'a".

However, none of these things have anything to do with the guards. They just widened their eyes and vigilantly circled the military tent, constantly patrolling to prevent spies from sneaking in.

By the time summer arrives in August, the days are noticeably shorter.

At nightfall, the earth becomes pitch black because there is only a thin crescent moon in the sky. Even in order to guard against the sneak attack of the "moth thieves", the dozens of torches lit on the wall of Dong'e County could only barely lift the endless black curtain at a distance of twenty or thirty steps.

In a small courtyard in the city, a faint light lit faintly. A few months ago, Cheng Li, a famous scholar who was suddenly famous in the county, was sitting upright in this little not very bright light, holding the "Sima Law" 1 bamboo slip in his hand, taking a look at it, and stopping for a while.

The oil burned in the oil lamp was very soot. Cheng Li gently brushed away a little black stain that fell on the bamboo slips, and couldn't help but feel a little upset.

I heard that in the palace of the neighboring Jibei Kingdom, there is a palace lamp from the Changxin Palace in Chang'an, Xijing. This Changxin Palace lamp 2 is not only exquisite in appearance, but also ingenious in the design of the internal mechanism.

This treasure is not only free of ash and odor after being lit, but also can freely adjust the intensity of the light according to needs. For a scholar like Cheng Li who is middle-aged and his eyes are starting to be a little dim, it is a practical treasure!

Of course, such a treasure, with Cheng Li's current net worth, there is no need to think about it. If it weren't for the fact that in March this year, Cheng Li designed to repel the rebellion of the Taiping Dao demon Wang Du, and was respected by Xue Fang, a big household in the county, and received no less than 200,000 yuan of money, grain, cloth and silk as a thank you gift, Cheng Li would not even light the lamp at night.

You know, a small oil lamp in this mere hour, it will light off a liter of millet in an hour!

Of course, with Cheng Li's cultivation, he didn't bother to be upset and irritable for a little black stain of lamp oil. What really made Cheng Li a little upset was a piece of news he got from Dahu Xue Fang this evening.

"The third year of the junior high school yellow scarf encircles Gucheng County, so that the turtle shrinks and does not dare to fight."

The mere fourteen words on this piece of wood made Cheng Li's heart full of worry.

Although the wooden slab says that the valley city was besieged. However, considering the distance between Dong'e County and Gucheng County, Cheng Li's nose seemed to smell not the stench of oil smoke, but the bloodiness of the war.

-- Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!

Because a few days ago, Bao Xin, the commander of the Yanzhou Prefecture Division, had already sent a messenger to inform the Dong'e County Commander that there was an army of the Yellow Turban Army from Qingzhou, all the way west, wanting to join the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army.

If the Yellow Turbans move fast enough, they may be able to advance from Gucheng to Dong'a in the next two days. As the "courage to defend the city" of Dong'e City, Cheng Li must fully consider the various problems that Dong'e City will face.

However, don't look at Dong'e City, which has successfully repelled the local Wang Du Yellow Turban Army. But the price to pay for this is also extraordinarily large. To put it simply, the treasury was plundered, many of the Ding Zhuang and county soldiers in the county fled, and most of the military rice and grain were lost.

In the following months, in order to support the fighting of the officers and soldiers of Yanzhou, as a relatively stable city, most of the remaining military rice and grain in Dong'e County were transported to the army. In this way, the defense of Dong'e City has actually become extremely empty.

Fortunately, in the past few months, except for Wang Du's Yellow Turban Army, no other Yellow Turban Army has tried to attack Dong'a. However, this kind of luck allowed the Taishou of Dongjun to transfer more strong men from Dong'e County as the people who transported the baggage of the Huangfu Song army.

If those Yellow Turban troops from Qingzhou were not frightened by the bluff of the county soldiers, they would attack the city with all their might. Cheng Li estimates that in ten days at most, Dong'e City will be broken!

ps: 1 The book "Sima Law" is one of the important military books in ancient China, which was written in the early Warring States period. According to the "Historical Records: The Biography of Sima Sui Tho", it is recorded: "King Qi Wei (356 BC-320 BC) asked the doctor to follow the ancient Sima Art of War and attached it to it, because it was called "Sima Sui Tho The Art of War". ”

In the Han Dynasty, the "Sima Law" was highly evaluated, and in the works of Ma Rong, Zheng Xuan, Cao Cao and others, the "Sima Law" was cited as an important document to verify the military system of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period.

2. Changxin Palace lamp is a famous cultural relic unearthed in 1968 in the tomb of Dou Juan, the wife of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, Mancheng County, Hebei Province. Brothers who have played "Three Kingdoms 7" should remember that they can buy this treasure from the hands of merchants.

PS: I can only type, and my ability to promote a piece can be described as poor. Book lovers who are eye-catching to this article, can you help promote it?
