"Lord, lord, I have something important to report." At this time, the dusty Zhou Wu came over.

"Zhou Wu, didn't you take Zilong and Zhou Wen with our cavalry to fight the Yellow Turban soldiers? Why did you run back now? ”

"Lord, quickly send troops to Qi County, there are a large number of Yellow Turban thieves gathered there. General Zilong, as well as my eldest brother, were planning to defeat Qi Guocheng first. If the time is not bad, it is estimated that in a while, they will be able to take it. However, we are afraid that we are only a few thousand cavalry, and I am afraid that we will not be able to hold it. I specially asked the lord for help. ”

"Report, Qi Lord, someone in front of me claims to be a scout sent by General Luo Yi, saying that he has a military situation to tell the lord."

"Have you verified the code?"

"It's verified, no problem, it should be our own people."

For fear of delaying the military situation, or having other people pretend to be their own people, pass on news indiscriminately, or ambush and calculate our side, Xue Rengui specially compiled a set of codes that can verify each other's identities.

"The Heavenly King covers the tiger, and the river demon of Pagoda Town."

"Then you can bring him up first."

"No."

"The little one is the lord."

"I don't know, Luo Yi sent you here, what military information do you want to report.?"

"Lord Qi, General Luo Yi has almost taken Jinan Kingdom, Le'an County, Chengyang County, and Donglai County. The patrol was almost there, but it only encountered a small group of Yellow Turban Army. did not meet the large force of the Yellow Turban Army. General Luo Yi specially sent me to ask the lord if he had met a large number of Yellow Turban Army troops, and whether he needed to send a unit to come and assist the lord. General Luo Yi also suspected that it was possible for the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou to be all stationed together now, recuperating, and preparing for a decisive battle with our army. Do you need him to bring back a large force to deal with this possibility? ”

"No one? Wait a minute, I'll take care of this side first. ”

"No."

"I don't know, who does the lord plan to send? I'm afraid that after a long time, my eldest brother and General Zilong won't be able to stabilize their offensive, in case the city of Qi is broken by the Yellow Turban thieves, it will be over. At this time, Zhou Wu asked out loud.

"That's right. Since this is the case, then I will let Zhou Qing and Zhou Cang take 5,000 soldiers and horses to help you defend the city, and I will continue to lead the army。。。。。。。 ”

"Lord, wait! I understand. At this time, Xi Zhicai suddenly said aloud, as if he suddenly realized.

"Zhicai, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? ”

"Lord, we have only encountered a small group of Yellow Turban thieves along the way, plundering the people's grain and grass everywhere, and we have not encountered any large number of Yellow Turban thieves, I thought that General Luo Yi defeated them all. After all, the lord had given an order before, but after the war was over, whether it was the enemy army or our army, they would be buried in the ground. First of all, because they are all victims of this war, and secondly, because they are also trying to prevent the outbreak of diseases. The soldiers who died in our army were all brought back to our martyrs' cemetery in Yanzhou for burial. The soldiers who died by the enemy army would dig pits on the spot and bury them. In my opinion, General Luo Yi walked three days before us, and our march was slower. Therefore, the Yellow Turban thieves that General Luo Yi encountered before may have been quickly resolved. I didn't figure it out until now. ”

"Oh? What's going on? Zhicai, don't sell it, let's talk about it quickly. At this time, Xue Rengui was already impatient.

"The Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, although there are many people, has also experienced the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion. Maybe the combat effectiveness will be improved. However, after all, Qingzhou City has high walls and thick walls, and if the Yellow Turban thieves take them by surprise, they may take several of their cities, or even a county. However, if the officers and soldiers are on guard, after the officers and soldiers close the city gates, it will not be easy for them to storm the city. So I think they're probably going to put all their forces in one place. If the imperial court sends troops, they can occupy a favorable position and hold their base. If, for a while, the imperial army's troops did not arrive, they could also take advantage of this time. Recuperate and cultivate your own power. ”

"That's right, so what you mean by Zhicai is that now all the Yellow Turban thieves and their people are concentrated in Qi County, and they intend to recuperate now, wait for the imperial court to send reinforcements, wait for work, and then fight them to the death."

"That's exactly what it means!"

"In that case, then you hurry back and order Zilong to abandon Qi Guocheng and come to learn from us. No, if the Yellow Turban thieves gather there at this time, General Zilong, I'm afraid it will be dangerous. Xue Rengui turned to the herald sent by Luo Yi and said, "You go and tell Luo Yi, order, he will lead all the troops and move closer to the direction of Qi Guocheng." ”

"No."

"Zhou Wu, you go back to Qi City first, if Zilong successfully captures Qi City, then you order him to withdraw quickly, just say it's my order. If he doesn't capture Qi City, then you can take him back and join our large army. "Xue Rengui is not worried, Zhao Yun will be trapped by them, after all, there are still people in Qi City who are exchanged for military merit: Luo Cheng, and Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao that are randomly gifted. With such three world-class generals gathered together, I am afraid that the yellow turban thieves will not be able to stop them. What's more, the army of the Yellow Turban thieves has not yet gathered,。。

"No."

"We also led the army to move closer to Qi Guocheng."

"My lord? Are you planning to fight them in the city of Qi? ”

"But if we have a good position, it should be better for the defence. Why did you choose to withdraw from the city? Xi Zhicai asked very puzzled, Xue Rengui.

"Zhicai, you, Mao Gong and Wen Ruo all know that today, it is uncertain, and the Han Dynasty is like a building about to fall. However, Wen Ruo, the obsession with the Han Dynasty in his heart is too heavy, and he plans to support the Han Dynasty. But I don't know that I have no power to return to the sky, but you and Mao Gong don't have these concerns in our hearts, you should know that my idea is to dominate the world. Xue Rengui pulled Xi Zhicai to the side and whispered to him.

"Zhicai, naturally know. is willing to be the hegemon of the lord, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not give up. Xi Zhicai was also very excited, and said to Xue Rengui.

"Mr. Zhicai, known as a great talent, can beat 100,000 male soldiers in his heart. With the assistance of Mr., Rengui will be invincible. ”

"Thank you for your trust." Although Xi Zhicai is usually cynical. But now that he heard Xue Rengui say this, he seemed to feel that the skills of his whole body could finally be used. In the early days, the gate valve looked down on these poor men. Finally, in Xue Rengui's place, he was reused, and when Xue Rengui said this, he looked like he had done his best and died after himself.

"Mr. Zhicai doesn't need to be like this." Xue Rengui thought to himself, the hearts of these ancient people are indeed easy to woo. Especially since he has knowledge that is nearly 2,000 years ahead of the curve.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Xue Rengui suddenly changed his face, and said to Xi Zhicai meticulously.

"Zhicai understands."

"Oh, I don't know what Mr. understands?"

"My lord, as soon as you tell me that you have the heart of hegemony. I understand that now we are fighting against the thieves instead of the Han Dynasty, but we are using our own strength. In this way, we not only consume our own strength. It will also expose its capital to the imperial court, if we fight a tough battle and persist for a long time, we will defeat the Yellow Turban thieves, or the imperial court's army will come, and we will work side by side with them to defeat the Yellow Turban Army. In this way, we will not show our strength excessively, if we make a quick decision and solve it in just a short period of time, the rebellion of 100,000 years or even 1 million people will be targeted by people in the imperial court. I am afraid that our soldiers are in danger of being disbanded or accepted into the army by the imperial court. When Xue Rengui and Xi Zhicai said that he had the ambition to dominate the world, Xi Zhicai immediately reacted. He was using a kind of general to crusade against the thieves for the emperor, and he was the advisor under the commander of the imperial army, and he went to give advice to Xue Rengui, ignoring that the Han Dynasty is now in danger, and it is not the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty in the past.

"Exactly."

"In that case, the general can order General Zilong to withdraw quickly. Now the situation on the battlefield in Qingzhou should be that most of the Yellow Turban thieves are concentrated in Qi County, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves in other places are also moving closer there. ”

"We should garrison troops in Taishan County, Taishan County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we can lead troops to confront the Yellow Turban Army, and always pay attention to their dynamics. You can also wait for the imperial army to come to their aid, and send troops to respond to them at any time. ”

"Okay, just do as you say. We first went to meet Zilong, then tried to make peace with Luo Yi's army, and finally we all went to Taishan County to garrison troops, waiting for the imperial army to come to help. In a duel with the Yellow Turban Bandits, they fought to the death. ”

"No."

"But before that, I'd better write a letter to the court. Report the situation on the Qingzhou battlefield and ask the imperial court to send a large army to support as soon as possible. Come on, prepare pen and paper. ”

"No."

In Qi City at this moment:

"Come on, hurry up and seal the South Gate City for me." At this time, Bu Ji in the Yellow Turban Thieves suddenly shouted loudly. Bu Ji suddenly realized that he was a person anyway. No matter how brave he is, he can't do it on his own. You can break through the gates we have sealed.

"yes, we didn't think of that before. Hurry up, go and seal the south gate! ”

"Yes." When the soldier heard that he had been ordered to seal the city gates, he thought that he finally didn't have to face that terrible court general. That person is really murderous, and there is no grass everywhere he passes. It's much safer to go to the gate of the city by yourself than this.
