Chapter Fifty-Nine: Fire Attack!
"Not to mention whether the Yellow Turban Army has a way to distinguish between their own families, just acting like this almost makes people want to die. Although there are heroes in the army, who can be in charge for a while? ”
Hearing Wei Tao's words, Cao Cao was not annoyed, but his brows were already furrowed.
"And how can you act together when you are mixed into the yellow turbans, although those yellow turbans are ignorant, but they are not so ignorant."
After thinking about it carefully, Wei Tao still thought that if it was the height of summer at this time, it would still be okay to forcibly attack it with fire, and as for the lurking or something, it was more like talking on paper.
Cao Cao himself was not a person who was jealous of his ability, and when he heard Wei Tao point out his shortcomings, he got up and saluted Wei Tao.
"If it weren't for Ziyu, my brother would have made a big mistake!"
"Otherwise, I thought that if there was no reminder from my brother, I would have no plan to break the thief."
Wei Tao also found that he only thought that it was difficult to attack the Yellow Turban Army with fire, but it was difficult to attack with fire but it was impossible to attack with fire, and if it was used well, the Yellow Turban Army would be broken overnight.
"Oh? Dare to ask if the clever plan is out? ”
Liu Bei was also a little curious, in fact, Liu Bei had also heard of Wei Tao's name.
Wei Tao's name of filial piety was advocated by scholars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so even if Lu Zhi was confronting Zhang Jiao, after meeting Liu Bei, he also mentioned Wei Tao's name and said that he was filial.
Of course, if this were the case, Liu Bei would not be so curious about Wei Tao.
More importantly, after talking about his filial piety, Lu Zhi said again: Although Wei Ziyu is young, looking at what he has done in the border area, he can be described as a pillar of the future!
Liu Bei has always had great ambitions, and he knows that Lu Zhi has always been unruly to praise people, how could he not be careful?
"As Brother Meng De said, the yellow scarves are numerous, and they are threatening the people, and they can be mixed in at night, but if this is the case, there will not be many people who do it. And the yellow scarf is from the common people, maybe it destroys and robs other things, but there is only one thing that will not be slaughtered easily, ploughing cattle. ”
There are rules in the Han law, and unless it is an old cow, it cannot be slaughtered.
However, in fact, if the people do not have a special reason, even if they are old, they will not slaughter them easily.
Although the Yellow Turban Army also absorbed a lot of ruffians, bandits and bandits, it has to be said that its main people are still ordinary people.
"Ziyu, what does this mean?"
But for a while, even Cao Cao didn't understand what Wei Tao meant.
"In the Warring States period, there were Qi Guotian Shan at night with more than 1,000 oxen, the horns of the ox tied with a blade, the tail tied with reeds filled with oil, lit with fire, rushed the Yan army, and then rushed to kill with 5,000 warriors, defeated the Yan army, this method is for the fire ox array."
Wei Tao smiled slightly, and again, his meaning was clear.
But hearing Wei Tao's words, everyone at the banquet had a strange look on their faces, even Zhang Fei.
"Humph! The Fire Bull Array was lost as early as after Tian Dan, and how much he wanted to imitate the technique of the Fire Bull Array, but he was injured by the Fire Bull instead. After all, the kid is young, and such a strategy is even more delusional! ”
Guan Yu's words were cold, as if he was taking revenge on Wei Tao's rudeness to Liu Bei, and said unceremoniously.
"Or do you already have the handbook?"
"I don't know about Tiandan's Fire Bull Formation, but my Wei Ziyu's Fire Bull Formation is also not known to metrics."
Although Guan Yu was arrogant, hearing his words, Wei Tao was still angry, and he was also unceremoniously counterattacked.
"You ......"
Guan Yu easily does not open his eyes, and once he opens his eyes, he kills people.
But Wei Tao smiled coldly, even if you are Guan Yu, do you still want to be above yourself, even if you are a peerless hero, Cao Cao has to regard himself as your right-hand man,
Seeing Wei Tao like this, Guan Yu was naturally annoyed, but with Liu Bei here, he was not good at making mistakes, so he had to ask sharply.
"So, what is your plan?"
"If the ox sees the fire, it will definitely be in turmoil, and it is impossible to rush straight like the army, so after Tian Dan, but those who want to use the fire ox array are playing with fire**. But what if this fire bull formation wasn't prepared before our formation? ”
Wei Tao didn't pay attention to Guan Yu anymore, but looked at Cao Cao and Liu Bei and smiled.
"The Yellow Turban Army has no military discipline, and ploughing cattle is its foundation, even if someone wants to forcibly kill the cow, not to mention who can stop the mad cow by being burned by fire, as long as someone has this heart, they will be blocked by others, if it only takes two or three people to do it quickly, although it is thrilling but not fatal."
Wei Tao spoke eloquently, and everyone was speechless when they heard it.
The plan was quickly settled.
Soon an order spread throughout the city: because the defenders were short of food, they wanted to collect the whole city's grain, and among them were the ploughing cattle.
Killing cattle and eating meat, sure enough, when they heard the news, there was no need for any law, and all the people were terrified and angry.
Then some people said that they would drive their farming cattle out of the city at night to join the Yellow Turban.
Originally, such a ridiculous thing was inadmissible even for ignorant people, so where was the city gate so easy to open?
However, those who were talking about it said that they had already contacted dozens of city gate guards, because the city was falling, so they were already preparing to surrender to the Yellow Turbans.
I have to say that ordinary people are blindly obedient, and after seeing that someone is driving the ploughing cattle out of the city at night, they are moved one by one, and many people immediately follow.
But they did not know that not long after they left the city, a group of men and horses gathered behind them, ready to rush out of the open gates.
"The people drove the ploughing oxen to descend? And the gates are open? How is this possible? ”
Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao and Bo Cai were all stunned when they heard the news, but soon Zhang Liang smiled and said confidently.
"Sure enough, with the protection of a great sage and good teacher, my Yellow Turban Dao will definitely be able to overthrow the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop and establish my Taiping Holy Kingdom. Just defeated those stragglers, and some people took refuge on their own, and God blessed our country. ”
Those who spread religion are themselves extremely religious.
Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are indeed talented, but they also firmly believe in the Yellow Turban Dao's overthrow of the Han Dynasty and the establishment of the Taiping Holy Kingdom.
"What if it's a trick of the Han army? Those people did not surrender sooner or later, why did they suddenly surrender at this time? ”
On the contrary, although Bocai is also a believer, he is a little skeptical as a general.
"General Bocai doesn't have to doubt it, not to mention that in the past, my Taiping Dao spread to all directions, and all the cities I went to were all descending from the wind. Even if it's Han Jun's pretense. The Han army sent so many people, or brought cattle and horses to defect, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible. ”
Hearing this, Bo Cai's original suspicions were immediately put down.
After all, there are countless people who surrendered to the Yellow Turban Road after the Yellow Turban Incident, and Bo Cai really can't think of anything wrong here.
"Since this is the case, then we will immediately gather the elite, and then take this opportunity to go straight to the Changshe and capture the two dog officials of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun!"
"Exactly!"
Seeing Bocai, there was no objection, and Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao also agreed.
"I also ask General Bocai to immediately summon my Yellow Turban troops, and take advantage of the fact that the Han army has not discovered in time that the soldiers defending the city have fled."
"No!"
Bo Cai immediately got up and responded loudly, and his originally pale face was faintly flushed with excitement.
Just when Zhang Liang and the three mobilized the elite of the Yellow Turbans to prepare for the assault on the Changshe, those who surrendered were also accepted by the Yellow Turbans.
Of course, it is naturally impossible for Zhang Liang and others to come forward with the defection of such ordinary deserters, after all, such things have happened a lot after the Yellow Turban Incident.
So it's just a random dispatch of a Yellow Turban Squad Leader to receive it.
"Not bad, not bad."
A yellow scarf squad leader looked at the shiny cattle and horses and smiled very proudly, and the emotions that he was still a little reluctant to do disappeared suddenly.
However, he didn't say much, just drew a circle for all the surrenderers to rest here and then leave.
Although the squad leader didn't say anything, just looking at his glowing look was to know that he was drawing the attention of these cattle and horses.
Indeed, if it is normal, even in the yellow scarf, cattle and horses are usually not easy to slaughter, but if it is for the reason of the 'three animals' sacrifice, it is naturally reasonable.
Nowadays, many people turn into yellow scarves that carry furniture even on the battlefield, but they don't carry these cattle and horses.
And if someone comes to vote, these cattle and horses are often eaten up in just a few days.
If Wei Tao is the only one who calculates, this 'fire attack' method is probably the real way to send sheep into the tiger's mouth, and he will never return.
But with Liu Bei and Cao Cao supplementing, not to mention nine out of ten, the possibility of success is also seventy or eighty.
Going out of the city late at night is for this, even if it is, it is impossible to kill cattle and eat meat in the middle of the night, and at this time many yellow scarves have already been lying down to rest.
There were more than 80 cattle and horses that came temporarily, and although those yellow scarves divided a place, in fact, as long as they did not drive the cattle and horses away, they would not be able to pay attention.
Yellow Turban discipline has always been like this.
Although there were also many people mixed in, since Cao Cao had made such a suggestion at that time, he had already prepared more than a dozen people.
The men nodded to each other, and then drove some of their cattle aside to prevent them from colliding with each other after the fire was lit.
And just when these people were preparing in the Yellow Turban Camp, Bo Cai also led a team of 3,000 people to run straight to Changshe.
At this time, the gate of Changshe was wide open, and from time to time there were still one or two people who went out to take refuge in the yellow scarf.
"Ha Lu Ha...... Sure enough, God bless me to teach, the Han Dynasty has run out of energy, that is, even the people have no intention of it! ”
Bo Cai didn't doubt much when he saw this, but smiled proudly.
"First the people surrendered, and then the soldiers fled, the Han Dynasty has come to this point! The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is peaceful! For the sake of our Taiping Holy Kingdom, kill! ”
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is peaceful! Kill! ”
In order to ensure the success of the city in one fell swoop, Bocai brought the most elite group of people, and these people were naturally the most revered group of believers.
Under the leadership of Bocai, all of them rushed towards the gate of Changshe.
