Chapter Seventy-Six: In the Confrontation

In order to supply the troops, Zhang Ning changed his previous style and wiped out the local big families and wealthy families in Dongping County, and seized their property to supply Zhang Huan's troops;

Zhang Ning has always opposed this practice, because she knows that this world is not the world of these bitter people, this is the world of the scholars and the wealthy people, although they will win the hearts of the suffering people, but they will be frantically sniped by the scholars and the wealthy people, and the more they do this, the more difficult it will be;

In the face of the scarred and physically and mentally exhausted Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Ning was not angry, did not shout, and some only comforted and condoled, which also made the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Legion feel warm;

"For now, we can only defeat Cao Cao head-on, only his troops are the least, and it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in the rest of the places!" , Zhang Ning sighed;

"Damn it, it's poisonous, it's white, it's solid! It's only a day's journey from Dongping, it's been half a month, why haven't you seen them yet? After Zhang Huan's defeat, he was in a bad mood, and then he thought of the friendly army of the Montenegrin Army, and scolded angrily;

"Yes! They have more than 100,000 troops and horses, so why don't they come and join us? Couldn't it be a different heart? Some people wondered, they still have great hopes for the Montenegrin army!

Zhang Ning knew that she had sent her cronies to investigate, and Dongjun was under the banner of Cao Cao, and looking at the people who were training in full swing there, Zhang Ning could only guess two results, one was that the Black Mountain Army defected to Cao Cao, and the other was that Cao Cao defeated and subdued them!

No matter which result it is, it is an unbearable result for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Zhang Ning didn't dare to leak the news, she didn't want to destroy their glimmer of hope with her own hands!

But in fact, what she did was wrong, their current situation can only fight against the water, only by forcing them to a dead end will they fight back and burst out with the strongest combat effectiveness, maybe they can defeat Cao Cao!

It is precisely this glimmer of hope that makes the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans think that there is still a way to live, and it is not yet in a desperate situation, and it also gives Cao Cao a chance to subdue them, when this news comes out of the mouths of others, not the mouths of the insiders of the Yellow Turban Army, this news is worthless, and will only become a condition that crushes them!

There is still a month to go before the farming time comes, Cao Cao is not in a hurry, he is confident that he can get these grass coars within a month; This time, Cao Cao transferred 10,000 foot soldiers from the original Yanzhou army and another 40,000 people from the Montenegrin army, including 1,000 cavalry brought by Huaxiong;

In this way, 50,000 soldiers and horses set up camp on a high post fifty miles outside Dongjun, and confronted the Yellow Turban Department of Qingzhou in Dongjun;

How much food and grass do more than a million people consume every day? I don't know the specific number, but when Zhang Ning drank a gruel every day, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans in Dongjun almost pulled out the grass on the city wall and ate it within half a month, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans reached a desperate situation at this time;

The teams they went to prey elsewhere never came back as long as they went out, and the occasional ones that came back took more people with them; And Cao Cao never sent troops to hunt down and exterminate them, just two insignificant meals of gruel a day were enough to tie the heart of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban;

When the predators of the thousands of men and horses reached the nearby village, they were greeted by someone waving at them: "Alas! Brothers! Come and eat! Gratuitous! But you'll have to lay down your weapons, or else..."

On the side of the porridge shed stood thousands of elite-equipped Cao Jun, and these people did not look at them fiercely, but smiled together and beckoned them to come over to eat, when the first person couldn't stand the hunger and walked out, and drank the porridge with a snort, and there was no danger, everyone instantly cheered and went together;

When one of Cao Jun said to them, "Hey! Buddy! In the past, I was in the Black Mountain Army, and Cao Gong did not chase and drive them like other forces, and when he gave them food, these Qingzhou yellow scarves lowered their heads and thought...

So, with the first person going back to preach, there was a second one, and countless Qingzhou yellow scarves who dragged their families away from Dongping took advantage of the night to stay away...

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban that threw down the weapon was like a tiger with its teeth pulled, Cao Cao kept tempting them with food and co-opting them, and it reached tens of thousands in just a few days!

The opening of the porridge shed is not only to disturb the morale of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, but also to express a kind of goodwill and give them hope!

・・・・・・・・・ dividing line

By chance, Zhang Ning bumped into the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans who were running away with their families, and learned from them the reason why people kept running away, Zhang Ning knew that the general trend was gone, and Cao Cao was a good means;

Zhang Ning also learned that after the Black Mountain Army was absorbed by Cao Cao, coupled with the news sent back by Zhang Huanjun, Cao Cao only chased them but did not kill them, and all kinds of signs showed that Cao Cao wanted to incorporate these Qingzhou Yellow Turbans! At present, the best choice is this, Zhang Ning's mind is like a small boat drifting in the sea, swaying from side to side and unable to stabilize;

After being absorbed by Cao Cao, they were equivalent to returning to the arms of the government again;

There are some people who don't want to do this, they are very disappointed in the Han Dynasty, these people are simple-minded, they just don't want to be the subjects of the Han Dynasty; The intentions of the other part of the people are much more complicated, they want to be a big man and become the emperor of the soil, this kind of person has been suppressed by Zhang Ning, it is hard to imagine what reaction Zhang Ning will bring if he decides to join Cao Cao;

In one force, there can be no two voices, Cao Cao's current strength is very weak, and he can't tolerate it, he urgently needs the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to supplement his strength, but at the same time he is also afraid of the leader of this million people; If he takes refuge in Cao Cao, Zhang Ning can also think of his fate;

"Maybe..." Zhang Ning sighed and shook his head, waved his hand and let go of the fleeing Yellow Turban Army, and turned around the streets of Dongping in a distraught manner;

"Stop! What the hell! As I walked, I saw three people on the opposite side, swaggering towards this side, a handsome scribe, a big man who had no left hand but was indifferent, and a guard?

Stopped by someone shouting, these three people looked this way, good! It was Li Yu, Wu Anguo, and Qu Jiang, who made a detour to Shuibo, mixed in from the north of Dongping, and lurked for several days; This can avoid the Yellow Turbans in front of the front, and secondly, it can better grasp the timing;

Li Yu already knew the dynamics of the two sides, so he came out with confidence to negotiate with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban;

Listening to this voice, coupled with the other party's eyes that are circulating, and the bulging chest... Will there be such well-developed pectoral muscles? Li Yu muttered for a long time, and with a strange gaze, he walked over: "I don't know which Qu Shuai it is?" ”

The guards behind Zhang Ning were obviously wrapped in yellow turbans, and they knew at a glance that this group of people was the Yellow Turban Army, and the streets of Dongping were deserted, and they couldn't even see a single civilian.

"Who are you?" , the crisp sound of the beads falling like jade, Zhang Ning continued to ask, and the guards behind him faintly had a tendency to draw their knives;

"In Xiaqiao County, Li Yu added the main book under Cao Gong's account, and came to visit the leader of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou! I don't know if I can introduce it on my behalf! ", Li Yu's duty to give gifts;

"Cao Cao's subordinates!" , the guards changed color, drew their swords out, "Hmph! Behind Li Yu, Wu Anguo and Qu Jiang snorted and drew their swords fearlessly, seeing that the two groups of people were about to fight after less than three and a half sentences, two soft shouts sounded at the same time;

"Stop! Don't be rude! "Don't be impatient, the sun, be good at learning!" ”

After drinking his subordinates, Zhang Ning asked interestingly: "I am the leader of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, I don't know what Mr. is here for?" We're at war with Cao Cao, so you're not going to surrender to us! ”

"Huh!" , Li Yu shook his head and smiled, and asked instead of answering: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's surname Zhang?" ”

"Exactly!" , Zhang Ning replied subconsciously; "Then ask again, is it the daughter of the Heavenly General?" , Li Yu said with a smile; Without waiting for Zhang Ning to answer, the guard behind her exclaimed, "How do you know? ”

Even if he didn't want to admit it, Zhang Ning had to admit it, and glared at the guard behind him: "Little girl Zhang Ning!" It is the daughter of a great sage and a good teacher! ”

"Oh!" , Li Yu spread his hands exaggeratedly, and said to Wu Anguo and Qu Jiang behind him: "See it!" You've found the right person! After knowing that Zhang Ning was a woman, Li Yu put away his weird gaze, and looked up and down at Zhang Ning, who was dressed as a man, with a woman's gaze, and had to admit that this was a beautiful woman;

Zhang Ning was a little disgusted, and Xiumei frowned: "I don't know what Mr. is here for?" You haven't answered me yet! ”

"Nothing! It's just a small matter related to the lives of millions of Qingzhou yellow turbans! Li Yu put on a high posture and said in a disdainful tone: "What? Chief Zhang, is this your hospitality? Entertain guests on the street! ”

Zhang Ning's heart tightened, she could not care about herself, but she couldn't care about the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, that was a million people!
