Chapter 56: The Time Has Come

Five days passed quickly, at the beginning of May, and the hottest weather began.

At this time, Liu Yao and Tian Feng were sitting in the shade of a tree, playing chess. The two of them seemed to have completely forgotten about the external object, so not a drop of sweat flowed down from the two of them.

At this time, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun suddenly walked over. The grumpy Zhu Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked anxiously, "His Royal Highness the Great Prince, when will we wait, the grain and grass in the city are only enough for half a month." If we wait any longer, I'm afraid we will run out of food before we can defeat the Yellow Turbans. ”

Liu Yao continued to play chess with Tian Feng in his hand, and asked without even looking back, "General Huangfu, General Zhu." Do you think it's hot enough? ”

Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment, completely unexpecting Liu Yao to ask such an irrelevant question, but still replied, "Your Highness, it's really hot enough." "Look at Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the two of them are now as if they are soaked in sweat. If it weren't for the sneak attack of the Yellow Turban. The two of them had already followed Liu Yao's example, taking off the heavy fish scale armor on their bodies, and only wearing a cloth coat.

Liu Yao still said without looking back, and said with some meaning, "It's right if it's hot, it's better for the two of you to sit down and be quiet, and naturally it won't be hot." ”

What is this, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are completely stupid. I didn't know what to say for a while. The two of them could only stand silently and watch where Liu Yao and Tian Feng were playing chess.

But where can the anxious two people calm down, it hasn't been a few minutes, Zhu Jun couldn't help it, but before Zhu Jun could speak. I only heard Tian Feng laugh and said, "General, chain horse, lord, you can't keep your handsomeness now." ”

Liu Yao saw that the defeat was decided, so he put down the chess pieces in his hand and said, looked up at the sky, blocked the dazzling sunlight with his hand, and said mysteriously, "Yes, I lost, I was generalized, and Shuai was eaten like this." But the handsome one over there should be fast, Yuan Hao. ”

"Hehe, the lord is high, it's really about the same." Tian Feng said with a smile.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were confused by the strange conversation between the two people, and they didn't know what kind of dumb riddle the two were playing. I didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, Shi A ran in and said excitedly, "Lord, lord, there is a movement in the yellow scarf." ”

"Hahaha, is it finally moving? Looks like this handsome one should be eaten. Liu Yao laughed and said, and went to the chessboard with the "handsome" chess pieces in front of him. Then he looked at Huangfu Song and the two, "When the time comes, the two generals are willing to go to the city wall with me to have a look." ”

Although Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun don't understand too much, they also know what Liu Yao means, and the opportunity to exterminate the Yellow Turban is now here. Full of excitement, he said, "Dare not obey your fate." ”

Several people came to the city wall, and Zhang Fei and Zhang Yun waited early. As soon as he saw Liu Yao's appearance, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Liu Yao waved his hand and walked to the edge of the city wall, where he saw that all the people of the Yellow Turbans could no longer stand the scorching heat and were moving their camp into the woods.

"Hmph, this yellow scarf is really looking for death, and he actually moved the military camp to the woods, but I don't know that setting up camp in the forest is a taboo for marching. I don't know what this guy thinks. Zhu Jun on the side saw the yellow scarf's actions and couldn't help but sneer.

"The woods? Fire? At this time, Huangfu Song seemed to remember something, and said suddenly, full of joy, "I see, Your Highness, it's really a good plan, if that's the case, how many yellow scarves there are, then we don't care about it!" ”

And Zhu Junna is not an idiot, on the contrary, his perennial military career has brought him a keen sense of smell. Some admired Liu Yao and Tian Feng looked at him, and said, "No wonder His Highness wants us to wait, it turns out that he wants to let the yellow scarf forced by the hot weather to hide in the woods and attack with fire." In this way, the yellow scarf can be extinguished with a backhand. ”

"Huh. Yes, it's the fire attack, and now the time has come. It's a good opportunity for us to counterattack. Liu Yao said confidently.

Huangfu Song listened, clasped his fists at Liu Yao and said respectfully, "Since the plan was conceived by His Royal Highness, please give orders to Your Highness." ”

"This ......" Liu Yao hesitated a little, after all, this was a bit of a feeling of declaring the army to seize the master.

"Yes, Your Highness, please call the shots." Zhu Jun also said to Liu Yao with a fist.

Liu Yao didn't give in, nodded, and said sternly, "Since that's the case, Huangfu Song listens to the order." ”

"The end will be."

"I order you to sneak into the camp of the Yellow Turban and set it on fire at the time of the third watch tonight, with the men and horses of the headquarters, carrying fire oil and other fire-starting things. When the fire starts, there is no need to retreat, and immediately kill the Yellow Turban soldiers. ”

"The last will obey." Huangfu Song said excitedly. Liu Yao has given himself the task of being a pioneer. He is also the person who is most likely to kill Bocai, so this time the great credit will be recorded on his head.

Liu Yao didn't care about Huangfu Song's appearance, and said to Zhu Jun, "Zhu Jun listens to orders." ”

"The end will be."

"I ordered you to take the people of the headquarters to the other side of the Yellow Turban camp after the third watch tonight. With the fire as a signal, once the fire starts, go directly into the Yellow Turban camp and fight to kill the enemy. ”

"The last will obey." Zhu Jun's task is similar to that of Huangfu Song, so he is also a little excited now.

Immediately, Liu Yao looked at Zhang Fei and the four of them and said, "If this wave has a chance to escape, there are only two places to go." The first is Peng's stronghold Runan, and the second is to go to Guangzong to meet Zhang Jiao. ”

Immediately, Liu Yao looked at Huang Zhong and Gao Shun and said, "Then Gao Shun, Huang Zhong listens to orders." ”

"The end will be." The two of them clasped their fists at the same time and said.

"The road to Runan is mostly mountainous, not suitable for cavalry combat, and I now order you two to take your five thousand men to the camp, and ambush on the road to Runan, once Bo Caiwang escapes here, be sure not to let him escape."

"The last will obey."

In the end, there were only two left, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. Liu Yao opened his mouth and said, "Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun obey orders. ”

"The end will be." The two hugged their fists.

"First order the two of you to take the five thousand assault battalions under your command to ambush on the road to Guangzong, once you find that there is a wave passing by, you must not let him go."

"The last will obey." The excitement in the eyes of the two was beyond words.

After hearing this, Huang Zhong said with some concern, "My lord, you have sent all the soldiers under my command, if there are other yellow turbans to attack, what should I do?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Liu Yao waved his hand, walked towards you and said, "As for the matter of defending the city, there are a thousand personal guard battalions under my command, plus General Huangfu allocated two thousand people from you. That's enough. ”

Huang Zhong didn't say anything when he heard it. The combat power of Liu Yao's personal guard battalion is definitely not under the trapping camp. With this team plus two thousand officers and soldiers guarding the city, even if there are twenty or thirty thousand yellow turban thieves who come, they will definitely not want to touch half a hair of Changshe City.

"Remember, this time the battle is only the first evil, if those yellow turbans surrender, then let them die. After all, they were also the people of the Han Dynasty, and the rebellion was forced to do so. Liu Yao reminded faintly. After speaking, he also looked at Zhu Jun intentionally or unintentionally, but he remembered that this guy had killed a lot of Yellow Turban soldiers in history. How could Liu Yao agree that these are the most important populations in Youzhou in the future.

"The last will obey." All of them said at the same time. Although Zhu Jun didn't understand it, he still obeyed Liu Yao's order and didn't refute it.

After giving the order, everyone went to reorganize their troops in anticipation of the great battle in the evening.

As for Liu Yao, he was standing there looking at the Yellow Turban camp in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
