[Can this give the thief a way to get away?] ]

When Lu Zhi, the commander of the Northern Army, once again summoned the captains, lieutenants, and fake Simas of each battalion in the tent, everyone present still felt that the previous scene was still unbelievable.

Nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Northern Army joined forces to encircle and suppress the "Zhang Baiqi" of about 400 people, or in the case of insight into the night attack and set up an ambush in advance, but even so, they still asked Zhang Baiqi to run away, which was not a big blow to the generals in the tent.

Even Julu Taishou Guo Dian, who was originally very inappropriate to Zhang Baiqi, bowed his head and remained silent because of this incident, let alone others.

"Shooting Battalion...... Why did you leave the original ambush site? As the commander-in-chief, Lu Zhi took the lead in attacking Ma Riyan, the captain of the shooting sound, because it was Ma Riyan who changed his plan during the chaotic war, and left the ambush before the Yellow Turban Thieves arrived at the ambush point and went to attack the thieves.

Facing Lu Zhi's stern questioning, Ma Riyan Gujing Wubo had no shame and remorse for what had happened to him, and clasped his fists and explained, "Lu Shuai Mingjian, the reason why he ordered his subordinates to take the initiative to attack, instead of waiting for the rabbit at the ambush, is only because there are all kinds of signs that Zhang Bai has seen through our army's ambush plan when he was riding in the Chinese army, otherwise, this thief will abandon the tent of our army commander who is close at hand, and instead order his subordinates to turn around and retreat?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhi's face showed a thick look of incomprehension, and he asked in surprise, "You say, that white cavalry actually guessed that our army had set up an ambush near the tent?" ”

"Exactly!" Ma Riyan nodded heavily, and immediately after glancing at Bao Hong, the captain of the tun cavalry, he said lightly, "Specifically, please ask the captain of the tun cavalry to explain to you." ”

"......" Tun Cavalry Captain Bao Hong looked at everyone in the station with an embarrassed face. Because of the relationship between him and Ma Riyan earlier, he had already guessed the real reason that made the thief feel that the situation was wrong, the reason that made him cry and laugh.

"Lu Shuai Mingjian ......" sighed secretly, and Bao Hong, the captain of the Tun Cavalry, hugged his fists and explained, "Before, Lu Shuai ordered that all battalions of our army be killed in the secret to release water, and induce Zhang Baiqi to break into the position of the commander of the Chinese army, and then surround it on all sides to exterminate it. …… At that time, the general concluded that this wave of thieves would definitely die, and he was afraid that he would be ruthless before being surrounded by our army. Destroy the equipment and baggage of our Chinese army's cavalry battalion, or also use witchcraft to prompt the war horses of the knights of our cavalry battalion to create chaos. Therefore, the last general ordered the knights in the camp not to attack, and only guarded the important materials in the camp, but he didn't want to be seen by the white horseman...... In the end, he will be convicted of his sins and be disposed of! In the end, Bao Hong clenched his hands into fists and knocked on one knee, kneeling in the tent with his head down.

"......" Lu Zhi glanced at Liu Biao, the marquis of the Northern Army, when he heard this. They thought it was a big mistake on Bao Hong's side. It was only then that Zhang Baiqi was aware of the crisis in advance, but now listening to Ma Riyan and Bao Hong's explanations, it is clear that it is not like that.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Zhi finally decided to pardon Bao Hong's guilt. No. It should not be the culpability, because Bao Hong did not do anything derelict in his duties, after all, as a captain of the Tun Cavalry, Bao Hong should have the interests of the Tun Cavalry Battalion in his heart. It can only be said that Zhang Baiqi was too cunning, and he sensed the threat when he noticed that something was wrong.

[Passed in Bao Hong.] But it's not a sin! ]

Lu Zhi sighed with regret, in his opinion, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity to eradicate Zhang Baiqi, and the Northern Army did force Zhang Baiqi into a desperate situation a moment ago, but who wants to turn around the next moment, Zhang Baiqi escaped in such a desperate situation, it is simply incredible.

"Lu Gong, I thought that the Yellow Turban Thief knew witchcraft, and it was the primary ...... that failed to achieve the goal of this battle."

Seeing that Lu Zhi didn't speak, Liu Biaohui was mistaken, and hurriedly whispered for Bao Hong.

Lu Zhi woke up from his contemplation when he heard this, and when he saw Bao Hong still kneeling in the center of the tent in a low voice, he slowly walked over to help him up, and then nodded and said, "What Jingsheng said is extremely true, this battle is indeed not Lord Bao Hong's fault, Lord Bao Hong, please get up." ”

"Thank you Lu Shuai, thank you Lord Zhonghou." Bao Hong was naturally relieved to get Lu Zhi to personally pardon the mistakes of this battle, and while thanking Lu Zhi, he did not forget to express his gratitude to Liu Biao, the marquis of the Northern Army.

Liu Biao was stunned for a moment, you know, he was sent by the general He Jin to supervise all the generals of the Northern Army, including the commander Lu Zhi and the captains of various battalions, so although he was born from a royal noble, it was inevitable that he would also be labeled as a general's power, and the Northern Army, as an army to which the imperial court forces belonged, was originally a little estranged from the general's power. Because of this, since he Liu Biao came to the Northern Army, he will inevitably be looked down upon one after another. But right now, Lu Zhi seems to be intent on raising his prestige in the Northern Army?

"......" After smiling kindly at Bao Hong, Liu Biao glanced at Lu Zhi with a little puzzlement, thinking in his heart.

Lu Zhi didn't notice Liu Biao's gaze, and right now, he was full of regret for failing to eradicate Zhang Baiqi. After pacing a few steps in the tent, he sighed faintly and ordered, "Order the Jizhou Mansion and order it to issue a wanted notice to all cities and counties in the territory: Zhang Sheng, the leader of the Yellow Turban thief, known as 'Little Heavenly Master' and 'Zhang Baiqi', will offer a reward of 50,000 yuan in gold, regardless of life or death!" ”

[……]

The generals in the tent were slightly shocked when they heard this, they must know that the high reward of 50,000 taels of yellow scarves was only used by the imperial court to reward Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Taiping Dao, and at the moment, Lu Zhi seemed to feel that Zhang Baiqi was no less threatening to the imperial court than Zhang Jiao, which surprised everyone.

But when I think about it, the generals also feel that this reward is not inappropriate: this man called Zhang Baiqi led his troops to assault the Northern Army twice on the battlefield, and twice tried to assassinate the commander of the Northern Army but failed. Then, at night, he led his troops to attack the main camp of the Northern Army at night, and escaped in the ambush surrounded by the Northern Army. After careful counting, this man brought nearly 3,000 direct casualties to the Northern Army, and the number of casualties in battle exceeded 1,000. Isn't such a guy worth a bounty of 50,000 taels of gold?!

At this time, Lu Zhi's lieutenant general Zong walked in from outside the tent and brought an inventory of the losses of the Northern Army tonight.

"Lu Shuai, tonight, our army killed and shot a total of 279 Yellow Turban thieves, 462 of our troops were killed and more than 500 were wounded. Among them, the infantry battalion accounted for 446 casualties, and the rest of the casualties belonged to the cavalry battalion, and there was no loss of knights from the shooting battalion and the cavalry battalion. ”

"Four hundred and forty-six?" Lu Zhi looked at the sect member in disbelief. It was hard for him to imagine that under the premise that their northern army had set up an ambush, they had lost almost a curved number of troops. As for the loss of only a dozen people from the Tun Cavalry Battalion, he didn't pay much attention to it. You don't have to guess to know that it was just a casualty when Zhang Baiqi encountered a team of cavalry followers from the Tun Cavalry Battalion when he broke through, because Zhang Baiqi was in a hurry to flee far away, so he definitely would not delay with the cavalry of the Tun Cavalry Battalion for too long. But on the contrary, it also proved that the strength of the cavalry in the cantonment battalion was indeed inferior to that of the regular army, even if they had an advantage in total numbers, their reaction ability was far inferior to that of the regular army. So much so that he was escaped by Zhang Bai riding along the lì.

"Almost a curved force ......" Liu Biao, the lieutenant of the Northern Army, couldn't help but glance at Liu Jiang, the infantry captain, who was also a nobleman from the royal family, and his expression was gloomy and terrifying at the moment.

"So many infantry died unjustly, it was Lu Mou's inconsiderate ......" obviously noticed Liu Jiang's expression, and Lu Zhi took the sin of this battle. But everyone knows that the reason why the infantry of the infantry battalion suffered such huge losses was only because they were at an absolute disadvantage in front of the Yellow Turban thieves who mastered witchcraft, and it is no exaggeration to say that the infantry at that time was purely one-sided in front of the Yellow Turban thieves. In terminology, this is restraint in the arms.

"This ...... It's not Lu Shuai's fault. It's the thieves who are too cunning. Infantry Captain Liu Jiang sighed, shook his head and said, obviously he is also a reasonable person, and he will not attribute the deaths deployed under his command to Lu Zhi's plan. Say the opposite. On the contrary, he was more inclined to Lu Zhi's plan, after all, there was a chance that the plan to lure the enemy would succeed, but it was a pity that Zhang Baiqi's mind was too meticulous, and it was just a small omission that he saw through the intentions of the Northern Army. This can really be called a crime of non-war.

"No, it's Lu's sin. …… Lu thought that he had overestimated the white horse, but he didn't want to. Still underestimate him, the Yellow Turban Thief has such a character, and my army's trip to Jizhou may not be easy......" In the end, he decided to bear the sin of defeat, Lu Zhi let out a long sigh.

Suddenly, he changed his words and said categorically, "However! Even if our army was defeated twice, since the imperial court entrusted us with a heavy responsibility, how could we disappoint the imperial court? Disappointing Majesty? …… This time, Lu summoned you, not to ask the teacher for the crime, but to brainstorm and discuss with you a safe way to deal with the Yellow Turban thief, and the thief must not be given another opportunity to take advantage of! ”

The captains, lieutenants, and false commanders of the battalions bowed their heads and remained silent when they heard this, and it must be said that they had indeed been hit. You must know that Zhang Huang's skills are obviously inferior to them, and the quality of the Yellow Turban Army is not as good as the soldiers of the Northern Army, but Zhang Huang has called them disgraced one after another, which makes them unable to figure it out.

"Jingsheng, what do you think?" Lu Zhi set his sights on Liu Biao.

Maybe he didn't think that Lu Zhi would take the lead in asking himself, a half-outsider, Liu Biao was slightly stunned in his heart, and then replied with his hands clasped into his fists, "Back to Lu Gong, I thought that there were three reasons why our northern army lost. ”

"In detail." Lu Zhi stroked his beard and said.

Liu Biao nodded and said in a deep voice, "First, underestimate the enemy." ”

"Underestimating the enemy?" Tun Cavalry Captain Bao Hong retorted puzzledly, "The Northern Army never underestimates the enemy!" ”

"It's because the table didn't make it clear." Liu Biao smiled slightly and corrected, "More precisely, it should be arrogant." In the face of a group of thieves who are inferior to our army in terms of generals and soldiers, our officers and men are full of pride in their bones, blindly believing that our army can wipe out a small group of thieves on the opposite side without much effort. …… If it weren't for arrogance, when the white cavalry only led a few dozen horsemen to attack our army's main formation, the five captains could have killed him. It's just that the five captains feel that the little thief doesn't need to do it himself, let alone the five of them, so that the white horse finally escaped, and finally caused today's change, isn't it? ”

"This ......" Liu Jiang, Bao Hong, and Ma Riyan were speechless, because after thinking about it, they found that as Liu Biao said, they did have several opportunities to kill Zhang Baiqi, but because of their own identity, they missed the opportunity.

"Reputation is not more important than results. Without a record, there is no reputation. Liu Biao's addition left the three captains present speechless.

Not to mention these three captains, even Lu Zhi didn't take Zhang Huang to heart before, otherwise, he could have ordered the captain of the fifth battalion to besiege and kill Zhang Baiqi at that time. If he had given an order at that time, even if Liu Jiang, Bao Hong, Wu Fu and others were displeased, they would not dare to disobey.

"Ahem. Second? Lu Zhi asked slightly embarrassed.

Seeing that Lu Zhi obviously didn't want to talk about this matter in detail, Liu Biao was secretly happy in his heart, but he said with a straight face, "Second, our army is too aggressive. ”

"Aggressive? How so? The sect member asked in surprise, because he was careful and cautious, and he didn't see anything greedy and reckless.

"There are all kinds of signs to prove: first, only half a day after the arrival of our northern army in Jizhou, our army began to besiege Pingxiang; Second, everyone thinks rashly. Stepping on Pingxiang County is just a day's work; Third, our army has not even set up a barracks in the camp, why? Because everyone in our army believed that it would be effortless to take Pingxiang County, there was no need to strengthen the defense of the main camp in one more step. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Lu Zhi's face was a little unbearable, not to mention the captains and generals of the other three battalions, but when they pondered it carefully, they found that what Liu Biao said was reasonable: even if he never said anything about underestimating the enemy. But in their bones, they didn't take the yellow turban thief on the other side seriously, if this is not contempt and arrogance, what is this?

Time. The entire tent was silent, and everyone was digesting Liu Biao's words.

And this will, Liu Biao's tone eased and continued. "To defeat the Pingxiang Yellow Turban, in fact, it is easy for our army. …… Although the white cavalry defeated our army twice, in the final analysis. He only took advantage of our army's underestimation of the enemy, and if our army had taken all precautions before every battle, how could he have succeeded? …… There is no need for any strategy at all, as long as our army uses troops in the right way, step by step, and sweeping away the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou is just around the corner! ”

Liu Biao's words undoubtedly shocked the hearts of everyone in the tent, and even Lu Zhi had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

That's right, why do you have to go out of your way to find a way to eradicate Zhang Baiqi? You must know that in the face of the majestic military strength of the Northern Army, a mere white horse is insignificant. As long as the Northern Army crushes all the way with an invulnerable military momentum, what Zhang Baiqi and Liu Baiqi will not only be defeated and killed?

"Tricks are difficult to defeat the yang scheme, and strange soldiers are not defeated by righteous soldiers! …… As long as all the cities and counties in Jizhou are recovered, whether it is Zhang Baiqi or Pingxiang Yellow Turban, there is nothing to hide. When the time comes, there will be enough time and opportunity to clean them up. ”

Liu Biao, the royal nobles and local assassins who were like a party in the future, gradually revealed his qualifications as a hero, and what he said made everyone in the tent couldn't help but think deeply, and at the same time, it also made the captains and generals of the Northern Army look up to this envoy who was close to the general He Jin.

"A word wakes up the person in the dream, or Jingsheng can see it thoroughly." Looking at Liu Biao, Lu Zhi praised sincerely.

"Lu Gong has won the award, but he only has a little experience." Liu Biao replied humbly. Although he couldn't figure out why Lu Zhi wanted to raise his prestige in the Northern Army, it was always not a bad thing, was it?

"That'...... That white horse, is he still wanted? The deputy general turned his head to look at Lu Zhi.

"Hmm......" Lu Zhi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Let's do both!" …… However, our army focused on recovering the lost cities and counties and sweeping away any enemy forces that stood in front of our army. In addition, from today onwards, our army will regard the Yellow Turban of Naping Township as a thief army that is enough to confront our army! ”

"No!" The captains and generals in the tent obviously understood, and nodded in agreement.

"Since you want to regard it as a thief army that is enough to fight against me, then ......" After pondering for a moment, Lu Zhi turned his head and said to the sect member, "Deputy General Zong, you immediately inform Hanoi and order him to take strict precautions when escorting grain and grass, the old man suspects...... That white cavalry saw that the night attack on our army failed, or it was possible to cut off our army's food route! ”

"No!"

"Order Wu Fu, the captain of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, to be responsible for the movement around our army after he returns. …… No matter where our army is, within a hundred miles of each other, the old man does not want any more thief army to penetrate and search under our noses so lightly. ”

"No!"

Liu Jiang, the captain of the infantry battalion, obeyed the order, from today onwards, everywhere he went, he must first set up camp, digging ditches, barracks, rejecting horses, and antlers. Lack of human hands...... Guo Dian, the old man ordered you to lead the county soldiers of Julu County to help. ”

"No!" Infantry captain Liu Jiang and Julu Taishou Guo Dian hugged their fists to receive the order.

After a full quarter of an hour, Lu Zhi completed all the big and small affairs.

It has to be said that the change in the attitude of the Northern Army towards the enemy can be regarded as putting an end to the possibility of Zhang Huang taking advantage of the loopholes to attack again. As Lu Zhi expected, after the failure of the night attack, Zhang Huang did not obediently retreat to Nansi or Guangping, and he did not give up and did the opposite, and actually attacked the northern army's grain transport team. It's a pity that the latter had already taken precautions after receiving Lu Zhi's order, and in desperation, Zhang Huang had to bring the remaining troops to retreat again.

On the other hand, the Northern Army gave up the plan of annihilating the Yellow Turbans in Pingxiang Township from that day on, and adopted the tactics of fighting steadily and step by step, successively recovering the large and small counties from Guangping to Quzhou, and defeated Zhang Huang in Quzhou. It is no wonder that after all, in the face of the impeccable Northern Army, even if Zhang Huang has an idea, it is difficult to do anything because of the limitations of his own military strength and his own strength.

In this way, Lu Zhi led the northern army all the way to Guangzong.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Huang has been forced into a desperate situation by Lu Zhi and has no choice.

However, Lu Zhi's prudent tactics also made Liu Hong, the great Han emperor who was eager to quell the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Thieves, become more and more anxious.

Therefore, in the name of comforting the army, the Son of Heaven sent Huangmen Zuofeng to inspect the battle situation of the northern army to suppress the thieves. (To be continued......)
