CHAPTER XXXIII

In fact, Xu Ji is very disdainful of the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban, but that is in terms of frontal combat, Zhao Hong obviously has no intention of fighting at all, he seems to know the frontal combat ability, the Yellow Turban is not able to catch up with the official army, but defending the city can infinitely close the combat effectiveness of the two sides, because the Yellow Turban has a geographical advantage, condescending to occupy an advantage, and there is also an unavoidable problem that Sun Jian's army is only 2,000 people, even if the rear army of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun is only more than 10,000 people, Even if there are reinforcements from Qin Jie and Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, Xu Ji still does not think that he can have the ability to attack Wancheng, and more than 100,000 yellow turbans may be able to be defeated by the impact of the cavalry, but the high walls of Wancheng completely cancel out the cavalry's ability to charge into battle, and attacking the city has always been an act of injuring the enemy and injuring 800.

Of course, Xu Ji is just worried, Wancheng is not impossible to break through, but obviously it will take longer and more soldiers, and the question is here, can Emperor Han Ling send more soldiers to come? Obviously not, Lu Zhi's main force in Jizhou to deal with Zhang Jiao obviously will not have more troops to support Nanyang. So can Emperor Han Ling wait? It is also obvious that Emperor Ling is not willing to wait for a moment, even if he has the patience to wait a little, but he will definitely not be able to accept that Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song have been so consumed in Nanyang, and Nanyang is obviously not so easy to capture, and if you want quick results, then you can only take tricks, but Xu Ji is worried about these.

Of course, Xu Ji was informed by Chen Zhi that Sun Jian also got the news, and this was even more troublesome for Sun Jian, Zhu Jun's original intention was to hope that Sun Jian could first thwart the arrogance of the Yellow Turban, and if he could, he could even tempt the Yellow Turban to divide his troops to do something to Sun Jian, but Zhao Hong's insistence on the city made all this come to naught, for such a situation Sun Jian had to order the fast horse to send the news to Zhu Jun, because the tactical intention did not realize Sun Jian needed Zhu Jun's next instructions, of course, he could also decide for himself, But apparently, Sun Jian knows the taboo of being a subordinate.

Of course, there is another point, Sun Jian didn't want to think about this troublesome problem by himself, because the Han army was almost in a dilemma at this time, and it was difficult to achieve results in attacking Wancheng in a short time, but it was against the holy order if he didn't go to Wancheng, Zhu Jun received this news when it was night, for this sudden news, Zhu Jun thought more than Xu Ji, and he even thought about what caused Zhao Hong to still choose to defend the city when he had the advantage of numbers, Thinking of why Zhao Hong was able to collect more than 100,000 yellow scarves just a few days after Zhang Mancheng's death, Zhu Jun thought of Bocai, who was looking for Yang Zhai and not seeing, only this Yingchuan Qu Shuai had such ability.

And for Bocai, who has already learned the strength of the Han army and suffered losses, Zhu Jun has a feeling that he has nowhere to start, although the yellow scarf has the upper hand, he still chooses the most secure defensive position, Bocai obviously will never allow himself to make mistakes again, and this kind of cautious opponent is the most troublesome, but Zhu Jun still decided to go, and he also had to go.

At this time, Xu Qian also led nearly 500 people to arrive at Yingyin, of course, these people are not allowed to enter the city blatantly, not to mention the guards of the city, the people's hearts are initially settled, seeing this group of swords, guns and fires in the sea of swords and guns are afraid that they will cause a lot of trouble, Xu Qian is also fortunate to be quite anxious, divided into several groups from different city gates into the city, the most in the last in Xu Ji's mansion gathered.

When Guo Jia saw that the nearly six hundred soldiers only said one sentence in their mouths: "The war money is really the best to earn, and Wen Lie Yueyu actually has such a harvest." Xu Qian naturally told Guo Jia what Xu Ji had explained, and after hearing Xu Qian's words, Guo Jia's face was bitter and he sighed: "How much money do I owe Xu Wenlie Guo Fengxiao?" It's only been a few days since you got away with all this trouble? That's it, friends, you go and ask Wen Bo to lead you to the place where Wen Lie has prepared to stay for the time being, and when the time comes, I will find you. ”

Of course, Xu Qian took the order and went, and as soon as Xu Qian left, Guo Jia, who had a bitter face, instantly looked serious, looked in the direction of Nanyang, and muttered: "Is it really time?" Wen Lie, are you in a hurry? Let's just ask Wen Ruo how he is now, I hope it is really as Wen Lie expected. Thinking of this, Guo Jia didn't delay any longer, got up and went out to forget about Xun Yu's mansion.

And Xu Ji's step-by-step calculations under Yingyin's cloth began to surface from this moment, Guo Jia will be fully responsible, and Xu Ji is in front of Sun Jian at this time, the map and information in front of him make Xu Ji distressed, presumably Sun Jian is also looking for Xu Ji to discuss it because of this, Sun Jian brought new information to Xu Ji is that Zhu Jun guessed that the mysterious missing Bocai should be in Wancheng at this time, and this makes Xu Ji even more clueless.

As Zhu Jun thought, if Bo Cai is indeed in Wancheng, then it is almost certain that as long as Bo Cai does not lose power, then the Yellow Turban will never be able to go out of the city to fight, and there is no way to conquer Wancheng, which goes against the purpose of Xu Ji coming with the army, Xu Ji has found a way, but he really needs Sun Jian's cooperation to implement it, but obviously Sun Jian does not trust Xu Ji, although Xu Ji is the staff officer assigned to him by Zhu Jun.

The first problem Xu Ji needs to face is how to gain Sun Jian's trust, because Xu Ji only has the right to serve as a military officer but not at all, after all, he is only twelve years old, and no matter how meritorious he is, he cannot be fully trusted. Of course, Xu Ji thinks that his strategy will also be the best way that Zhu Jun can think of, but when Zhu Jun comes to carry out this idea, I am afraid that it will not be so easy, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song are long-established generals after all, Sun Jian does not have such a loud name at this time, and the Yellow Turban under the command of Bocai and the original Zhang Mancheng must need little-known people, as long as the deliberate defeat is made Bo Cai see, then Bo Cai will inevitably refuse Zhao Hong to send troops, and the rest of the Yellow Turban Jiuer will inevitably be dissatisfied, and there is no need to separate, As long as Bocai's right to speak becomes no longer important, then Wancheng can be broken.

And what can only be sacrificed is Sun Jian's reputation, Sun Jian is known for his bravery in battle and his reputation for winning every battle, how can he be willing to exchange his reputation for a strategy that does not know how many percent of the chance of success there is? And Xu Ji is grinding with Sun Jian for this.

In fact, Sun Jian doesn't care much about his reputation, but he can't stand the exhortation of Huang Gai Chengpu and the two people, for Sun Jian, personal honor and disgrace are not very important, at least for Sun Jian in this matter, the weight of the social safety of the Han Dynasty in his mind is far greater than the personal gain and disgrace. Cheng Pu and Huang Gai don't think so, they are Sun Jian's retainers, of course they can't sit idly by and watch their master's reputation, because a kid doesn't guarantee the result, and the strategy is discarded at will. Although they also cared about the social affairs of the Han family, for the fortified city of Wancheng, they did not think that Sun Jian's troops had enough ability to attack, and their views were very simple: wait for Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song to lead their troops to come and make a decision.

This can't be said to be wrong, but Xu Ji understands that now is the time to seize the opportunity, at this time, he can greatly weaken Bocai's voice in the Wancheng Yellow Turban Army through deception, and even force Bocai to use force to suppress the resisting Yellow Turban tribes. But once Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song led their troops to arrive, after being afraid of the prestige of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, the gold entrenched in Wancheng may be more united in the left and right of Bocai, then, a Wancheng that cannot be held out is by no means a Wancheng that the Han army is willing to face. Xu Ji must grasp every moment of the time he can buy to plan, the sooner the battle of Nanyang ends, the more conducive to his return to Yingchuan, his ultimate goal is still Yingchuan, he needs a lot of people who can be used by him, he needs a piece of territory, he needs a huge amount of money, but all this must be established after he has a certain status to be able to achieve, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed, the time to calm down after the Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed will never be too long, Xu Ji knows that his time is already very short, So he had to risk angering the Jiangdong Tigers to lobby Sun Jian, although he was not so sure of his strategy of combining luring the enemy and divisiveness, but Xu Ji was sure that this could at least bring huge trouble to Bo Cai, and as long as Bo was in trouble, then Wancheng was not monolithic.

Soon, Sun Jian made a decision, because of Xu Ji's words, in fact, Xu Ji's lobbying Sun Jian was unmoved, but only one sentence said to Sun Jian's heart: "The general is heroic and heroic, and he is worried about the Han family, so he should be praised by the world, but all heroes have mixed reputations, and the general is just a deception today, but he can be an immortal, which is the general's gain." Wancheng Yellow Turban is not to worry, Wen Lie is worried, Bo Cai is also, but this thief is really Yingchuan Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, how can Nanyang Yellow Turban be lightly served? It only takes a moment to make it happen, the Yellow Turban thief doesn't know the battle formation and doesn't know the art of war, and the general wants to break Wancheng, and it is easy. ”

What Sun Jian wants is very simple, meritorious service, because Sun Jian's background is not good, he has been in business for generations, and he is not known for his literary talent, and people call him "Jiangdong Tiger", so you can know that he will be brave and fierce, so Sun Jian He wants to shine on the lintel can only rely on his bravery, relying on his accumulation of military exploits little by little. And Xu Ji's "immortal merit" made him excited, if Xu Ji was his best friend, Sun Jian would do it without thinking about anything, but Xu Ji is only a twelve-year-old child, even according to the algorithm of the Han Dynasty, it is only fourteen, this age and not a close relationship makes Sun Jian unable to completely give his trust to Xu Ji.

On the second day after Sun Jian arrived in Nanyang, he led his troops to Wancheng City to fight, of course, no one went to fight, Sun Jian had already expected it, not to mention Xu Ji also said, this first day must not have any effect, so Sun Jian did even more desperately, and ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot, so Sun Jian's soldiers insulted and picked anything, of course, doing this kind of thing outside a stone's throw, the archers in the city had no choice but to stare at it.

A middle-aged man who looked like a general on the city tower frowned and looked at the behavior of these soldiers under Sun Jian's command outside the city, turned his head to a man with a scar on his face and said, "Just let Sun Wentai humiliate us like this?" But there are more than a thousand people, and I only need one Yellow Turban Lux to annihilate it. ”

Looking at the scarred man, he was Bocai, but he was disfigured, but his eyes became more aggressive and murderous: "Zhao Hong, the Han army is cunning, if it weren't for the ambush soldiers behind him, would he dare to be so blatantly presumptuous?" If the army leads out of the city, I am only afraid that the Han army will be in the arms, we only need to stick to Wancheng, the Han army has a long grain road from afar, and it cannot be held for a long time, and the Han army will naturally disperse when the time comes. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Hong glanced at the Han soldiers outside the city and said, "I will slash Sun Wentai to eliminate today's hatred." ”

Bo Cai's voice behind him was cold: "Bo Cai only needs the heads of two old horsemen." ”
