Chapter 216 Situation and Worry

When Tai Shici rushed back to Fenggao City, it was already past the hour, but it was still dark. The dark clouds in the sky not only did not disperse, but turned into bits of ice crystals, which fell one after another. There was silence between heaven and earth, and even the sound of falling snow could be faintly heard.

With no time to investigate the situation on the battlefield, Tai Shi Ci went straight to Taishou's mansion.

"Ziyi is back? How was the battle last night? "Only Huang Zhong was in the chamber, and after tossing all night, the veteran's face was a little tired, but his spirit was very strong. Seeing Tai Shici, he seemed to be a little surprised, but he smiled very calmly, without the slightest hint of anxiety.

"That's not all." Tai Shi Ci pursed his lips and muttered.

Before he set off, Wang Yu deliberately pulled him for a long talk in order not to take him lightly.

At that time, Wang Yu said very exaggeratedly, first analyzed the surrounding situation, roughly except for Youzhou, the whole world is the enemy, especially several big enemies in Yanzhou, it is likely to attack the Taishan army with the idea of dying together.

Although the heavy cavalry under the command of Tai Shici has amazing combat power, the number is too small, and the training time is not long enough, far from the time to form combat power.

All in all, the current situation is extremely dangerous, and Tai Shici's bravery is the only hope to turn the situation around.

After being so encouraged, how could Tai Shici not be enthusiastic? He immediately received the order, and went to Turtle Mountain with two hundred heavy cavalry and multiple auxiliaries.

Guishan is not far from the northeast of Bo County, only a few dozen miles away from Fenggao, if there is really an enemy trying to make a surprise attack, Bo County is their last stronghold to rest.

Tai Shi Ci carefully chose the ambush site, patiently waited for the enemy, and reported the determination to die, and the result was ......

"Then Bao Xin is also a prince, why is he so bold? A few hundred steps from the bottom of the mountain, he stopped, muttered for a while, and suddenly gave the order to run! He has an army of 5,000 people, and there are only 200 people under his command, even if he is ambushed, the victory or defeat is unknown! ”

The cold wind blew on Turtle Mountain for two days, but the strength he held back did not vent out, not to mention how depressed Tai Shi Ci was. Since Huang Zhong asked, he complained in a rambling manner.

"Maybe he's got the battle report from the front, right?" Huang Zhong listened patiently, and from time to time he echoed a few words.

"So-and-so thinks so, too."

Tai Shi Ci shook his head, shook off the regret in his head, and said hatefully: "It's Xu Fu's ghost again, obviously the previous spies were intercepted by him, why did he let them go at this juncture?" It must have been calculated by him, and he came to rob a certain credit! ”

The contradiction between Tai Shici and Xu Shu, the cause and process are very strange, it is purely a disaster, Huang Zhong doesn't know why the military advisor Jia Xu turned a blind eye to this, but he originally intended to be a peacemaker. But now that I look at it, Tai Shici's resentment is so deep that it can no longer be persuaded by the power of lips and tongues, and in the other party's heart, Xu Shu is simply synonymous with conspiracy.

"Ziyi doesn't need to worry, Bao Xin retreats without a fight, and there are still many battles in the future." Completely subconscious, Huang Zhong said with relief according to Wang Yu's usual tone.

"This person also knows, didn't he just want to ask when he came back this time." Tai Shici looked left and right, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Hansheng, how was the battle last night?" What are the casualties of our army? The result? ”

"Uh......" Huang Zhong's face darkened, and then he sighed: "Alas, the brothers are all loyal and brave people, but the will of heaven is unpredictable, and coupled with the chaos last night, our army still lost nearly thirty percent of the brothers; Fortunately, the Yellow Turbans have been completely defeated and are no longer a threat. By the way, the lord also caught the thief chief with his own hands......"

"Caught Zhang Rao?"

"No, it's the Yellow Turban Little Heavenly Master."

"With 4,000 against 200,000, only more than 1,000 brothers can be killed and wounded, you can achieve such a big victory......" Tai Shici said a few words with a fascinated face, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, Huang Zhong didn't seem to be talking about the whole army, but ......

"Brother Hansheng, don't you mean to say that the manpower lost by our army is all under your command, right?"

"When Gongming sent out his troops, the Yellow Turban Army had completely collapsed, and since the lord had taken the Yellow Turban Little Heavenly Master, there was naturally no need to make more killings."

"......" Tai Shi Ci's mouth opened widely, he knew Wang Yu's raid plan, and he also recognized it, but he never expected that victory would come so easily.

Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses? There are only 100 people in total, okay? Thirty percent of the loss, that is, thirty! This casualty ratio is indeed very high, but if you think about the raid process and look at the results, this loss is completely negligible!

Flying from the sky and landing in the company camp of the 200,000 army for night fighting, it can be said that from the moment the raid began, half of the lives of these 100 people have been lost, and those who can save their lives are the darlings of heaven.

"Except for the lord who has done it with the team, the others just let go of the cold arrows......" In order to divert Tai Shici's attention, lest he keep locking his hatred on Xu Shu, Huang Zhong carefully recounted the battle situation last night.

Tai Shi Ci listened in a daze, his face turned red and black, and he was uncertain.

Jump down from the sky and rush into battle to defeat a thousand? This is really fascinating, I knew it was like this, what kind of back road did I see? If you were ...... yourself at the time

"Sure enough!" Tai Shi Ci suddenly burst out.

"Sure what?" Huang Zhong was a little baffled.

Tai Shici subconsciously replied: "You still have to follow the lord in the war!" Brother Hansheng, you are still too steady, if you change me, you will definitely not just put cold arrows on the side, but directly outflank it, and see where Zhang Rao's thief can escape! ”

This sentence obviously hovered in his heart for a long time, so he said it very smoothly, and after saying it, he realized that it was wrong, and it was a little rude to Huang Zhong when he said it.

"It's okay, it's okay." Huang Zhong waved his hand disapprovingly, and smiled widely: "Before the surprise attack began, the lord had already talked to a certain about this matter, and he also intended to let you take over the special combat team, since you also have this idea, it is just right." ”

"Really?" Tai Shici's eyes lit up, grabbed Huang Zhong's arm, and even shook it twice, only then did he feel rude, he withdrew his hand, scratched his head, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Brother Hansheng, ...... you?"

"The battle in Qingzhou is basically over, and there should be no large-scale war in the future, but the surrounding enemies are around, and they have to guard against ......."

Huang Zhong still admires Tai Shici, who doesn't have much scheming and acts straightforwardly, but is extremely brave. The other party is a pure military general, if you have to put the secular etiquette on him, you are just asking for trouble.

Huang Zhong admires Wang Yu more, needless to say about his vision and mind, what is even more rare is his determination. The lord is also an adventurous person, but unlike Tai Shi Ci, he is much more controlling.

"What the lord means is that for a period of time in the future, the main task is to recuperate, and will not take the initiative to raise wars and expand the territory, so as not to stretch the battle line and be taken advantage of by the enemy."

"Don't fight Jibei?"

"Of course not." Huang Zhong smiled and shook his head, it was easy to deal with Bao Xin, but Liu Dai's main force was in Dongwuyang, it was difficult to say whether Taishan's action of sending troops would touch the fragile nerves of this Yanzhou assassin, if Taishan started a war with Liu Dai, it would only be cheaper for Cao Cao.

"The territory of Jibei is not large, but it borders the plains, Dongjun, Dongping, and Lu countries, which can be said to be attacked on all sides, and there is no danger to defend, occupying this place, it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses, it is better to take the opportunity of revenge to squeeze some benefits."

"I see." Tai Shi Ci stepped back and sat down, half-closed his eyes, deduced the situation in Taishan and Qingzhou in his mind, then nodded, hugged his fists to Huang Zhong and said, "Naci will congratulate Brother Han Sheng on leaving the town." ”

He just doesn't like to think, and when he gets serious, he also has a lot of brushes in terms of strategy.

Qingzhou is the Jiaodong Peninsula in later generations, and an area around the Bohai Sea. The terrain surrounded by the sea on three sides has caused Qingzhou to suffer heavy losses in recent years, but it is strategically advantageous.

In the current situation, the main threat comes from Yanzhou, and although Xuzhou has an ambiguous attitude, it is not very likely to turn against each other. And Wang Yu ceded the plain to Gongsun Zhan, and the threat from the north was eliminated.

After Wang Yu moved to Qingzhou, the two counties of Taishan and Jinan became the front line, and it was obvious that Wang Yu planned to let Huang Zhong go out of the town and take charge alone.

"A certain guard Mount Tai, Gongming guards Jinan, the lord moves troops to Linzi, at least in this year or two, Qingzhou will be as safe as Mount Tai. There may not be too many wars in the future, most of them are just to clean up the remnants of bandits in the territory to train the troops, but depending on the meaning of the lord, these battles should be handed over to the special combat team, so Ziyi does not need to worry about being useless. ”

Huang Zhong's words are half-true, Wang Yu will expand the special combat team, and he will also let Tai Shici lead the troops to train, but the battles in the territory are probably not as frequent as he said, he just wants to comfort the other party.

"Well said, well said." To Huang Zhong's surprise, Tai Shici's eyes rolled, and he suddenly laughed proudly. When he asked, the other party mysteriously refused to answer, which made the veteran wonder.

"Where is the lord now?" Tai Shi Ci looked around to change the topic.

"In the back hall, with that little heavenly master...... Ziyi, you ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw Tai Shi Ci probing his brain behind the screen, and the thief wanted to eavesdrop, Huang Zhong couldn't cry or laugh, and he wanted to stop it, but where could he do it.

Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about it for too long, and he didn't know what Tai Shi Ci heard, and after a while, he jumped back as if he had been stung by a bee, and asked with a shocked face: "Brother Han Sheng, then, that little heavenly master turned out to be a woman?" ”

"Not bad." Huang Zhong nodded, he was also surprised when he first heard about this, but he was not surprised that Cheng Tai Shi Ci was like this.

Tai Shi Ci asked in a hesitant manner: "Then ...... her appearance?"

"Uh," Huang Zhong glanced at Tai Shici meaningfully, and replied calmly: "She has always carried a hat, and the same is true when she enters the back hall, why does Ziyi ask?" Could it be that you have the meaning of a gentleman? ”

"No, no," Tai Shici shook his head like a drum, and then in one sentence, Huang Zhong's curiosity was also aroused, "I'm worried about the lord." ”

"Huh?" (To be continued.)
