Chapter 178: The Han Army Wants to Surrender
At the same time that Fang Yun was intensively strengthening training and rehearsing the "Internationale", the Han army camp.
Looking at the information brought by the spies of the Huangfu family, Huangfu was covered with green muscles, and several strategists and subordinates around him who were familiar with him knew very well that this was a sign of his anger.
It's just that they can't figure out what is it that can make this general, who almost never loses his temper, so angry?
"Hmph, Yuan Valve is simply too deceitful!" The next moment, Huangfu Song slapped the information on the dwarf, maybe it was too hard, and he actually shot the dwarf table away.
That is, the information is written on the silk book, otherwise if it is a bamboo slip, I am afraid that it will not be much better at the moment.
"Shuai, I don't know what the letter says?" To put it bluntly, everyone here is their own people, either the protégés of the Huangfu family or loyal allies, so there is nothing to taboo, so they asked directly.
"The one who met with Bocai a few days ago is not an ordinary yellow turban player at all! His name is Fang Yun, he is a disciple of Bo Cai, and this time the soldiers were divided into two ways, not only broke through Pingyu's horse farm, but also successively killed Yuan Valve's 70,000 Ding soldiers. Such an existence entered the Yellow Turban Thief camp for five days, and we didn't get any news during this time, coupled with Yuan Valve's misdirection, so we thought that the Yellow Turban Thief was vulnerable, but the other party seized the opportunity to come for a while......" Huangfu Song said unhappily.
"Ahh Pingyu Racecourse was broken, why didn't we receive the news?! "The eldest son of the Jiujiang Jiang family, Jiang Ren, the mastermind of Huangfu Song, couldn't help but exclaim.
"How can Yuan Valve let others know about this kind of thing, if it is known to His Majesty, do you think they Yuan Valve will be able to be comfortable? After that, they spent a lot of money to buy a lot of horses from the Zhen family in Jizhou, so they covered up the matter. The matter has come to this point, seeing that the destruction of the Yellow Turban Thief is the top priority now, it is better not to worry about this kind of thing with Yuan Valve. "Although Huangfu Song is very unhappy with Yuan Valve, he has to maintain one or two at critical moments.
Guy has a share of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and his Huangfu family also has a share, and they all say that pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, Yuan Valve is really unlucky, and their Huangfu family and even other families involved in this matter are not much better.
"I remember that the guards of the horse farm include Yuan Valve's family, and there are 20,000 people, right? Didn't you say that 70,000 people were defeated, so what about 50,000 people in the back? Jiang Ren nodded, and then asked.
"It's that Yuan Feng is unwilling, and mobilized all his strength in Yingchuan County and Runan County, to destroy this Yellow Turban thief, but he doesn't want to fight to the death, not to mention being eaten by others The 50,000 army, but also Yuan Feng's concubine Yuan Fang, that is, the commander of the 50,000 army, is also heartbroken to death, think about Yuan Feng's heartache now, right?" Huangfu Song sneered.
As long as I think of Yuan Feng's grief-stricken appearance, I will feel better about being deceived by him.
"The subordinates understand, but I'm afraid that the reason why Yuan Valve doesn't explain the situation of Fang Yun is that he hopes that we will directly run into him when the information is insufficient, and everyone will be happy if we succeed in destroying him. Even if he fails, he can disgust and disgust both of us, no matter what, he Yuan Valve has earned it. Jiang Ren immediately figured it out.
"That's why I said that Yuan Valve is hateful!" Huangfu Song said depressedly. He may not know what it means to be 'used as a gun', but at the moment he feels like this, so he is very unhappy.
"Now that our sergeant has undergone emergency treatment, there is no major problem, and it is simply the first time to inhale this kind of thing, so that it will not fall too deep, and it only needs to recuperate for a few days to recover. However, in terms of grain and grass, it is still severe. Jiang Ren was worried.
In fact, it was not Huangfu Song who transferred the storage location of grain and grass, or set up another storage location for grain and grass, but the grain and grass of the army itself became a problem.
What's worse is that many local county officials swapped the new rice they collected with the old rice of the merchants, so as to fill their own pockets, so the edible grain in the granary in the city was also very small.
Huangfu Song went out on this expedition, and he also brought 50,000 people, and the number of people eating horses and chewing was not small. Emperor Han Ling is an iron rooster again, it is already very rare to be able to let him arm an army, and it is simply a fool's dream to let him pay for the team's grain and grass for free, not to mention that the price of grain and grass is changing day by day, and those merchants are even more hoarding.
This behavior not only led to a larger scope and scale of the Yellow Turban Army's rebellion, but also made it impossible for the troops to get food at all. The worst thing is that the Yellow Turban Army can get supplies by looting, but the imperial army can't do that, after all, how can the merchants who dare to do that be simple behind the scenes?!
One or two are simply hedgehogs, whether the meat is delicious or not is two different things, and how to eat it is a big problem.
Now there are only more than ten days of food in the army at most, so Huangfu Song had to send Cao Cao to collect grain and grass, but the effect is not very great. What made him speechless the most was that Cao Cao suddenly sent a large amount of dried meat some time ago...... At that time, I remember that I almost carried a sword to slaughter Cao Cao, and Gaine ate a small piece of his fingernail when he ate dried meat.
"Dashuai, the situation is urgent, as long as you can eat, you can do it!" This was Jiang Ren's admonition at that time, and it also directly led to Huangfu Song, who was about to go berserk, and had to acquiesce in the existence of this kind of 'jerky'.
"Cao Cao, this person is a little too bold......" Huangfu Song was really worried, and that guy brought another batch of jerky.
"The subordinates found out that they are all yellow turban thieves, and it is not a big problem!" Jiang Ren smiled bitterly.
"It's okay, being able to hold on for a while is a while, and it's also the commander's inconsiderate thinking, but he doesn't want this problem of grain and grass to become the biggest weakness of our army! I'm afraid that this battle won't be able to drag on, and we must fight quickly! Huangfu Song also had to solemnly announce.
"Dashuai, the Yellow Turban Thieves have rebelled for more than a month, and the most backbone of them is afraid that they have died in battle. Most of the people in today's Yellow Turban Thieves are ordinary people who joined later. They were originally my big people, but they had to take refuge in them because they had no way out. Therefore, if we promise not to hold them accountable for their rebellion, and if we can bring a number of soldiers to take refuge, and directly appoint them as Han officers, so as to ensure that he will be promoted and rich in the future, maybe this battle can be bloodless, and no matter how bad it is, it can also hit their morale! Jiang Ren quickly admonished him, he had been thinking about this idea for a long time.
"Hmph, a group of rebellious ministers and thieves can rebel today, but do you know that they will not rebel in the future?" Huangfu Song did not approve.
"Dashuai, do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, surrender first, and then find an opportunity to execute later. The most important thing now is to win this battle, and we must win it quickly, otherwise we will not talk about whether Your Majesty's side is easy to explain, just say that our grain and grass are really a problem, and if we wait, I can't say that Cao Cao will send a batch of dried meat again! Jiang Ren smiled bitterly.
"Well, send a messenger to surrender and have a look!" Huangfu Song is from a big family, how can he eat that kind of jerky to fill his stomach, but there is a shortage of food in the army during this time...... Think about it, this is the most aggrieved time of his life.
In his opinion, Jiang Ren's suggestion was somewhat constructive, and after weighing the pros and cons, he had to compromise no matter how stubborn he was. (To be continued.) )
