As Xu Ji expected, in just half a month, the Han army fought even more victoriously but did not advance an inch, only in Zhongmu brought back and forth entanglement, Xu Ji believed that Zhu Jun must have noticed that something was wrong, but it was obvious that he could no longer stop the arrogance of his subordinates, Zhu Jun's steady and steady tactics were not implemented, but whenever the Yellow Turban Army came to fight, there must be generals and colonels leading troops out of the camp, which has violated Zhu Jun's original tactics of showing weakness to the enemy, and these high-ranking cadres obviously will not buy Zhu Jun's account, and they don't care about military orders.

Xu Ji has already been prepared, after this half month of recruitment, Xu Ji already has an army of three hundred, saying that the army is actually just a ranger and a man who has received preliminary training, but as Chen Zhi said, the rest of the battle is an elite soldier, and a soldier who does not see blood cannot be called a soldier, Xu Ji obviously thinks the same way, these three hundred people are equipped with light leather armor and wooden spears, and these equipment obviously cannot be Xu Ji can get his hands on, these things Xun Yu allocated from Xun's private soldier warehouse, And these are the limits of Xun Yu's ability to mobilize, of course, Xu Ji doesn't think that more is needed, because although this army is only three hundred, it is enough to play the role of cavalry, and too large a number will only arouse the vigilance of others.

Just when the time entered April, Zhu Jun ushered in a defeat that is bound to come, Zhu Jun hoped to break through the main force of Bocai contracted in Xingyang with the momentum of successive victories, but encountered an ambush on the way to the army, the Han army was defeated, Zhu Jun had no choice but to shrink the defeated army and retreat to Zhongmu, but on the same day, Bo Cai came to the tail and broke the city in less than an hour, Zhu Jun had no choice but to ask Huangfu Song for help while shrinking the defeated army and retreating to Changshe.

Xu Ji sensitively realized that this was an opportunity to cut into the battlefield, Zhu Jun of the Changshe was definitely unable to retreat, and the loss of the Changshe would make Yingchuan face the pressure of the Yellow Turban, and this obviously violated the edict of Emperor Ling, so Zhu Jun had to ask Huangfu Song for help, even if Huangfu Song did make great achievements but it was useless in the situation, which was also an important reason why Bo Cai chose to give up Huangfu Song and target Zhu Jun. And Huang Fu Song actually didn't want to give up the good situation of his own department, but first of all, there was an edict in front, in fact, Zhu Jun and Huang Fu Song were guarded and taken care of, at this time Zhu Jun retreated to the flank of Huang Fu Song of the Changshe became unbarrier, and it only took three hours for Zhong Mu to stay in this play, Huang Fu Song did not dare to take risks, so he had to lead his troops to the Changshe to support.

Xu Ji and Huang Fu Song made a decision and set off almost at the same time, what Xu Ji needed was a delicate balance that could enable his three hundred people to play a role and value far beyond reality, and Xu Ji was sure that Huang Fu Song would definitely go to support without conditions.

Xu Ji had already rushed to the vicinity of Changshe on the day of his departure, but he did not give the order to enter the city, he believed that Bo Cai's plan was not just to defeat Zhu Jun, and Bo Cai would definitely seek more.

In the early morning of the second day, Xu Ji's scouts found that Huangfu Song had led his troops to arrive at Changshe, and had already led his troops to station. Xu Ji was deeply worried about this.

Chen Zhi was puzzled by this: "Lord, why don't we go into the city and camp here?" ”

Xu Ji squatted on the ground, drew a map with a tree branch, pointed to a point and said: "Uncle Zhi, you see, the small wall of Changshe City is low, and Zhongmu has only been here for a few hours, if Bo Cai really only wants to defeat Zhu Jun, it only needs one cavalry to attack, why do you not move?" We are waiting, Bocai is also waiting, what he is waiting for is General Huangfu's galloping aid, maybe he originally planned to encircle the point to send reinforcements, but General Huangfu came faster than he expected, he should also be on the way. ”

Chen Zhi looked at the map on the ground and muttered, "Then why is the Lord so worried about General Huangfu's stationing? ”

Xu Ji sighed and looked at the Changshe City in the distance and said: "If General Huangfu camps outside the city, Bocai will be blocked from attacking the city, and he can also use General Zhu Jun in the city as horns, and if he attacks one point, he can rush to the aid of another point, and now it is spring ploughing, and the Changshe stock grain is bound to be not much, if Bocai is besieged and not attacked, what should I do in the city?" ”

Chen Zhi was shocked: "This, isn't that ......?" ”

Xu Ji nodded: "Critical." However, it can also be inferred from this that the losses of Zhu Jun's troops were greater than we expected, and they were not even enough to hold the Changshe before they ordered General Huangfu to enter together, which was difficult, difficult. ”

Xu Ji's worries here are indeed not too redundant, just at noon, the scout reported that Bocai led the army to a place less than fifty miles outside Changshe City, counting the time and speed of the return, at this time, Bocai should have arrived at Changshe City.

Bo Cai, who arrived at Changshe, was not in a hurry to set up camp but immediately launched a strong attack, of course, it was quickly repulsed, both sides were testing each other, Bo Cai got the information that the combat effectiveness of the Han army was still good, and Zhu Jun and Huang Fu Song got the information that Bo Cai's desire to attack was not strong, but this made Zhu Jun and Huang Fu Song more anxious, the grain and grass in the city were only enough for less than a month for 30,000 troops, and Bo Cai's resolute attack this time clearly expressed that Bo Cai was not impatient, And this is precisely the last thing the two of them want to see.

Bocai retreated ten miles after the strong attack and set up camp, and came to scold the formation every day, obviously with the purpose of weakening the morale of the Han army in the city, but outside the city Bocai had about 50,000 soldiers and horses and the Han army in the city was only in the early 30,000s, there was no other way but to refuse the city and defend it, and the daily scolding made the morale of the Han army increasingly low, and the two generals had no choice. There is also no way to take Bocai, although Bocai is exerting pressure on the Han army but he has not relaxed his vigilance, the protection of the grain road is very strict, Xu Ji tried to attack and seize the grain several times with little success, and even once was ambushed by Mi Qian almost died, relying on the hidden path and the back hand to avoid it, after which Xu Ji will never disturb Bocai's grain road again, Xu Ji does not want to attract Bocai's attention, The half-month-long confrontation not only made the Han army in the city more and more tired, but also made the three hundred people under Xu Ji's command shrink to two hundred and sixty people, which is also the reason why Xu Ji only chooses the team to start every time, but watching the more than 200 people under his command gradually become accustomed to military life and gradually face the battle no longer panic, Xu Ji thinks that these are worth it, and because Xu Ji has always taken the lead, the morale of this small army has been maintained very well, and it has not been demoralized because of the uncertain place and uncertain future.

But Xu Ji is still very worried about the situation of the Changshe, there must be a reason why Bocai is so consumed, I am afraid that Bocai has already known the situation of the grain and grass in the city, and the situation in the relative city is getting worse and worse, the lack of equipment to defend the city, and the low morale, these reasons make the Han army more and more difficult, and Bocai has become more difficult after turning from the scolding to the siege, although the Yellow Turban Army does not have complete siege equipment, but it can't stand the large number of people, and several times to attack the city wall, if the two generals don't personally lead the guards, I'm afraid that the Changshe has been broken. And Xu Ji outside the city is of course aware of all this, but obviously the time has not come, at this time Bo Cai has gradually relaxed his vigilance, but Xu Ji does not think that this is the best time, because less than 300 people are as inconspicuous as a drop of water on the battlefield of nearly 100,000 people, Xu Ji has led Chen Zhi and Mi Qian to enter the camp of the Yellow Turban Army several times at night, obviously at this time the Yellow Turban Army is already a winning posture and does not have a very tight defense, but the difference in numbers makes Xu Ji unable to change the situation, But Xu Ji has been keenly aware that the opportunity has appeared, because there are a lot of haystacks left after the autumn harvest outside the city of Changshe, and the Yellow Turban Army has not cleaned them up, and the other point is the solar term, which is already close to May, and Yingchuan is about to get windy.

Xu Ji felt that he seemed to have caught something, but he still needed to plan carefully, what he needed was already complete, all he needed was cooperation, Xu Ji needed the cooperation of the Han army in Changshe City, Xu Ji could create enough riots, but the main force was still the Han army after all.

Xu Ji ordered Chen Zhi and Mi Qian to annihilate one to two grain transport teams, Xu Ji needed equipment that could blend into the Yellow Turban Army camp, and he also needed specific information about the Yellow Turban Battalion, and these could only be hoped for on these grain transport teams. And all this is only small, what he needs now is to communicate with the city as much as possible, at least, to make the two generals trust him.

On the last day of April, Huangfu Song on the city wall looked at the Yellow Turban Camp not far from the city, and sighed faintly, and Zhu Jun, who was resolute beside him, was also gloomy, although the second generation of the gang under his command was obedient after the defeat, but he could not change this reality, and more importantly, now Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun could not see any hope of victory.

"Gongwei, if you go out of the city to fight, it is nothing more than defeat if you consume it like this, we are edicted to fight for thieves, and we should be brave and fierce to be the first, how can we shrink like this?"

Zhu Jun on the side was full of sadness: "Righteousness really can't be like this, I have already learned the power of Bocai, a thief, isn't he trying his best to force us out of the city?" Now...... I believe that Your Majesty will definitely send reinforcements, and I will wait to guard the Changshe. ”

Huangfu Song's hateful chapter slapped on the city wall: "So let this thief be so domineering? ”

Zhu Jun sighed: "What can I do? ”

At this moment, a small colonel ran up to the city tower with a arrowless arrow tied with a strip of cloth: "Two generals, the soldiers patrolling the city picked up this arrow near the east gate, and there was a strip of cloth tied to it, and the villain thought it was very small, so he hurriedly sent it." ”

Huangfu Song waved his hand impatiently: "It's nothing more than a thief's letter of persuasion, what else is it to do?" Thrown, thrown, thrown. ”

Xiao Xiao looked helpless, and was about to explain, Zhu Jun said: "It must be a little different, otherwise how would he send it." ”

The little colonel holding the arrow immediately explained: "Originally, the villain also thought that it was to persuade him to surrender, but the mark of this arrow is different from the yellow scarf, and the arrow feather is also quite particular about the material, not the crude arrow of the yellow turban." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Jun said, "Show me, you go down first." ”

After handing over the arrows to Zhu Jun, the little colonel bowed his hand and went down to the city tower, obviously still needing to patrol the city. Zhu Jun untied the cloth strip, and a sentence was neatly written on it: I am Yingchuan Xu Ji, the time to break the enemy is within a few days, I hope that the two generals will put down the hanging basket at the east gate tonight, and Xu Ji has a strategy that is enough to break the enemy.

Zhu Jun frowned and handed the strip of cloth to Huangfu Song: "Yizhen, take a look." ”

Huangfu Song also frowned after reading it: "What does this mean, who is this Xu Ji?" ”

Zhu Jun suddenly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who he is, since he came alone tonight, we will know when we meet." If there is really a strategy to break the enemy, wouldn't it be just right for you to break the enemy? ”

Huangfu Song also laughed: "What Gongwei said is extremely true, I want to see what kind of person dares to say that there is a strategy to break the enemy outside the Changshe that is besieged by heavy troops. ”

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, but Bo Cai in the Yellow Turban camp outside the city faintly felt uneasy, and he looked at the wall of the Changshe in the distance outside the tent: It's too much to worry about, the siege has been nearly a month, and the two old guys must have been tied up, just repel these two, and there will be no obstacles in Yingchuan.

At this time, Xu Ji looked at the Yellow Turban Camp, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth: Bocai, Xu Wenlie's promotion is on your head, don't let me down.
