Chapter Fifty-Six: The Trapped Long Shrine (I)

"Brother, now are we going to open it now?"

Although he didn't get any news about whether Huang Fu Song and the others had retreated to the Chang She, Wei Tao understood that as long as Huang Fu Song and Zhu Jun did not die, they would avoid entering the Chang Society sooner or later.

Only by avoiding the Changshe can it be strong and defendable, and at the same time, it can contain the Yellow Turban Army.

"Yes, I'll leave for Yuzhou immediately."

No matter what happens to Cao Cao in the future, Cao Cao still wants the Han Dynasty to be better, so he is very concerned about the affairs of the court today, and immediately does not say more, and directly gathers all the armies.

With the previous training, the army that had just been recruited for nearly two months could still look decent, but Wang Yue and his disciples were not prepared to go with it.

Although Cao Cao was a little disappointed, when he saw Wei Tao leading four hundred horsemen by his side, that trace of depression also dissipated.

"Let's go!"

Cao Cao gave an order, waited no longer, and immediately led the people to go straight to Yuzhou.

This time, Cao Cao led the team to set off, which was different from the previous Wei Tao who led people to Luoyang.

At that time, Wei Tao was originally a small team, and everyone was a cavalry, and there was no team in the Yellow Turban Army that could catch up with Wei Tao.

And it is impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to mobilize everyone to surround and intercept for a team of people like Wei Tao.

Even so, Wei Tao's journey was not smooth.

Now Cao Cao led thousands of men and horses straight to attack Yuzhou, the goal is even more obvious, as soon as he entered the range of Yuzhou, the Yellow Turban Army has already learned about it.

Both Wei Tao and Cao Cao understood this, so they didn't dare to march in a hurry after entering Yuzhou, for fear of consuming too much physical strength and being caught off guard by the Yellow Turban Army.

After traveling all the way for three days, what Wei Tao and Cao Cao didn't expect was that although they encountered several waves of Yellow Turbans, the strength of those Yellow Turban Army was not very good, and as long as they fought with their own army for more than a moment, they would collapse on their own.

This is completely true of troops that have not experienced combat.

"That's not right! If it's any other state, that's fine. Although the Yellow Turban Thieves used the Yellow Turban Road as a cover in the past, they did not dare to train openly after all, so there were not many elites. ”

There is no need for such back-and-forth temptations between Wei Tao and Cao Cao, so Wei Tao just speaks directly.

"Just like I am in Chenliu, even with thousands of troops can resist tens of thousands of yellow turbans through the defense of the city. But this is Yuzhou, it is the place where the main force of the Yellow Turban gathers, in addition to Jizhou, I am afraid that it is the most elite here, why don't you see the Yellow Turban make any moves in a few days? ”

"What do you mean......"

Although Cao Cao was asking, his frowning brows showed that he already had an answer in his heart.

"Yes, I'm afraid that all the Yellow Turban elites were attracted by General Huangfu Song and General Zhu Jun, although I don't know what the situation of the two generals is now, but I'm afraid they are surrounded by Yellow Turban thieves."

Wei Tao said slowly, but as he said this, neither Wei Tao nor Cao Cao's faces were good-looking.

"For the sake of today's plan, we should rush to the aid of the two generals."

"What if?"

Cao Cao deserves to be Cao Cao, but in the face of such a situation, he calmed down.

"If the previous information is correct, even if the two generals are not able to go into battle to meet the enemy, it is not difficult to do some planning, if I am the two generals, I will definitely retreat to Changshe."

This is also the first time that Wei Tao has made his own decision from the grand strategy.

"If so, the Yellow Turban Thieves must be trying to cut off their way, once the army enters the Changshe, it will not be a day to go. So I think we should be divided into two ways, one way to lead the army to the Changshe slowly, one is to respond, the other is to attract the attention of the Yellow Turban Bandits, and the second way to lead a small group of men and horses directly into the enemy's rear to set up an ambush, if the Yellow Turban Bandits deliberately block the return of the two generals, they can be killed from the back in one fell swoop, and the two generals enter the city. ”

"Brilliant plan!"

After hearing what Wei Tao said, Cao Cao suddenly exclaimed.

"Zi Yuguo is the general of the country!"

Cao Cao also did this kind of planning himself, but although he stabilized his mind in his eagerness, he couldn't make a decision in a moment after all.

Only Wei Tao was the key to knowing the Daoist Changshe early on, and he deliberately understood that the Yellow Turban's attack was not strong along the way, and he began to think about the mystery, which was the only way to make a judgment in one fell swoop.

"In this case, can Ziyu lead this army on my behalf?"

Cao Cao is indeed Cao Cao, but he just paced back and forth for two steps and then said seriously.

"The law of the imperial court, the military power is just easy to hand over, but now the matter is urgent, and Ziyu has the official position of county lieutenant, so it is not a violation of the system to hand over this military power to Ziyu for the time being."

Cao Cao's meaning is very clear, that is, he led hundreds of people to set up an ambush to rescue, and Wei Tao led thousands of troops to move slowly.

This is the trust in Wei Tao.

Not everyone can be the head of this army, you must know that even if there are thousands of soldiers and horses, the impact of the yellow turban is not weak.

Even if only a few hundred people were injured each time, and few people died, after a few times, the wounded were very likely to be drowned in the 'sea of people' of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Brother is so trusted, Tao dares to disobey?"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Wei Tao was also a little moved, it is indeed dangerous to command the army, but no matter how dangerous it is, how can it compare to setting up an ambush in the territory of the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou?

Cao Cao can hand over this matter to Wei Tao, after all, Wei Tao is now Cao Cao's subordinate, and in the military camp, once the order is given, there is absolutely no possibility of disobedience.

But Cao Cao took this burden on his own.

"But Tao has only one thing, please agree."

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

Cao Cao was also a little curious, and Wei Tao still had any questions.

"I have a retainer Dian Wei, who is a man with the courage of ten thousand people, and his strength is the bravest in the battle, and although it is advantageous to march with me here, he cannot exert his ability, and I ask my brother to take him with him."

"Ha Lu Ha...... It's the old evil! If I can have this person to protect me, I will be fine! ”

Cao Cao really didn't care about Dian Wei's vicious face at all, and his words still revealed undisguised appreciation.

But Wei Tao is not afraid, Cao Cao is a true gentleman and a true hero, no matter how much he likes it, he will not do anything to dig people's corners in private.

What's more, Wei Tao also has confidence in Dian Wei.

The time is urgent, the matter must be certain, Cao Cao and Wei Tao immediately summoned the generals in the middle of the army to explain the matter.

Of course, in order to prevent the Yellow Turbans from getting news, the real goal is impossible to say, only that Wei Tao led the army to attract the main force of the Yellow Turban Army to attack, and then Cao Cao led the army to attack, breaking the Yellow Turban in one fell swoop.

I have to say that Cao Cao's subordinates really don't have any talents, after hearing this strategy, except for Zhang Liao, who was following Wei Tao's eyelids, jumped and then fell silent, everyone else should be.

In fact, seeing this scene, Cao Cao couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

With the cooperation of these generals, Wei Tao and Cao Cao soon acted, Cao Cao led all the cavalry and 500 elite infantry quietly left the team under the moonlight, while Wei Tao led all the troops.

"Wen Yuan, this is the way it is, so if there is a mutiner in the army, it should be killed, and the news of our army must not be revealed."

Wei Tao trusted Zhang Liao very much, and did not hide this real action from him.

"No!"

The march speed of the army of thousands of people was not fast, but since Wei Tao was preparing to attract the attention of the Yellow Turban Army, he naturally would not go all the way straight.

"Kill!"

At the sound of an order, two thousand archers lined up in front of the formation, shooting arrows with bows, and suddenly saw countless arrows raining down, and the Yellow Turban thieves who had been fanatically charging suddenly fell to the ground one by one.

But I have to say that Yuzhou is indeed the two major states and counties that the Yellow Turbans attach the most importance to, and the Yellow Turban Army's fanaticism for Taiping Road here is not comparable to other continents at all.

Even though the troops in front of the head were shot by Wei Tao, the follow-up people still charged fearlessly.

"The archers stand back, the sword and shield hands step forward, and the spearmen follow!"

Wei Tao had to thank Cao Cao, although there were indeed not many cavalry, but all kinds of infantry had already looked like each other after two months of training.

With Wei Tao's order, he immediately saw a column of soldiers wearing armor and shields stepping forward neatly, and behind them was a column of spears shining with cold light.

As soon as I saw the Yellow Turban charging forward, I saw the cold light spur, and every time I stabbed it, I wanted to take the life of a Yellow Turban Army.

But this does not mean that the Han army is undamaged, those Yellow Turban troops are indeed extremely fanatical, even if they are killed, they will desperately tear apart the Han army's defense line.

In this way, there was another stalemate for half an hour, and the Yellow Turbans did not evacuate until they had lost a thousand corpses.

This is the fifth time that Wei Tao has led the army to take the initiative to clean up the Yellow Turbans and attract the attention of the Yellow Turban Army, plus this time, Wei Tao alone has nearly 1,000 dead, and more than half of the injured.

"Fortunately, fortunately, fanaticism is not everything after all, and fortunately the Yellow Turban Army has no cavalry. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to get to the long shrine at all. ”

Seeing the Yellow Turban Army receding like a tide again, Wei Tao finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Wenyuan, how far is it from the Changshe here?"

"About three hundred miles."

Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Wei Tao hesitated for a moment and immediately ordered.

"The whole army hurried to act, and strive to rush to the Changshe as soon as possible, if someone can't endure the hardships and wants to become a deserter, then kill him!"

"No!"

Both Zhang Liao and Wei Tao understand that after these few active purges, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely no longer turn a blind eye to their own Han army, and as they get closer to Changshe, it is also very easy to transfer some Yellow Turban elites to come.

"A mere hundreds of miles, for a soldier who is skilled in training, is actually only a matter of a few days of marching, but I don't know what is happening to Mengde's side now? In the absence of any information, but can you find the location of the two generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun? ”

After Wei Tao gave the order, he was not at ease, but because of several battles with the Yellow Turban Army, he was a little more suspicious, doubting whether what he did was correct.

"Looking at the current situation, the situation of the Yellow Turban is better than history, is it not the slightest obstacle to the advance of the move?"
