Chapter 430: Heading North

When Huang Zhong led the troops to burst the chrysanthemums of the Yellow Turban Army from behind, the Dingping Army around them also gathered to the Yellow Turban Army, it turned out that Sima Wei was setting up a big pocket formation this time, Xu Jian led 10,000 infantry to intercept it head-on, Huang Zhong led the cavalry to ambush in the back, when the Yellow Turban Army passed, Huang Zhong did not attack, he had to wait for the Yellow Turban Army to enter the pocket formation before attacking, and after he launched an attack, the surrounding Dingping Army would gather in the middle to complete the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Kill~"

Shouting, the Dingping Army poured up from all directions, surrounding the Yellow Turban Army on the third and outer three floors.

Seeing the soldiers of the Dingping Army rushing up from all directions, the Yellow Turban Army was all stunned.

Seeing that his side had completed the encirclement, Huang Zhong immediately shouted: "Those who lay down their weapons will not be killed!" ”

"Those who lay down their arms will not be killed!"

"Those who lay down their arms will not be killed!"

"Those who lay down their arms will not be killed!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Following Huang Zhong's shout, the 80,000 soldiers of the Dingping Army around roared in unison, and for a while, the sound was like thunder, and the clouds in the sky were scattered.

Listening to the thunderous shouts of the Dingping Army, the Yellow Turban Army was completely shocked, and the timid ones were even so frightened that they sat on the ground, of course, not everyone was timid.

"Brothers, fight with them!"

"Brothers, rush!"

"Let's get out together!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A few brave Yellow Turban soldiers rushed out first, armed high, but as soon as they moved, several sharp arrows whistled towards their faΓ§ade.

"Hizz~"

Seeing the few comrades lying on the ground who were shot like hedgehogs, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army, who had just ignited their fighting spirit, was suppressed again, and at this time, Sima Wei also rode to the battlefield.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was reluctant to put down his weapons, Sima Wei, who was afraid that something would happen after a long time, whispered a few words in Xu Jian's ear, and after receiving Sima Wei's instructions, Xu Jian immediately shouted: "The blade is approaching!" ”

"Kill!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Dingping Army raised their weapons and shouted the word "kill", and at the same time, they also took a small step ahead together.

"Kill!"

With a roar of rage again, the soldiers of the Dingping Army took another step forward, but this time the pace was significantly larger than the last time.

"Kill!"

There was another thunderous roar, and at the same time, the soldiers of the Dingping Army took another step forward, this time not only was the pace much larger than the last time, but also the soldiers of the Dingping Army also stomped their feet neatly, and tens of thousands of people stomped their feet together, and the sound was no less than the thunder on dry land.

As the Dingping Army approached step by step, the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the pressure felt by the Yellow Turban Army became more and more intense.

"Dangchang~"

Finally, a Yellow Turban soldier who couldn't bear the psychological pressure put down the weapon in his hand, and the sound of the weapon falling to the ground was like pushing the first domino, and the sound of clanging kept coming from the camp of the Yellow Turban Army for a while, and the Yellow Turban Army finally surrendered.

"Whew~"

Seeing that the Yellow Turban had surrendered, Sima Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Sima Wei is actually not optimistic about his own combat strength, because this part of the men led by Huang Zhong, except for the first battalion and the seventh battalion personally trained by Huang Zhong, the rest are all recruits with little combat experience, and even one-third of the first battalion and the seventh battalion are recruits, Sima Wei is afraid that the Yellow Turban Army will fight back desperately in a desperate situation, in that case, even if he wins, he will definitely suffer heavy losses, after all, there are more than 50,000 people in He Manbu at this time, but now those more than 50,000 people have all become prisoners of war in the Dingping Army.

As soon as Huang Zhong's battle ended, Zhang Yi, who was far away in Yingchuan, received a systematic battle report, and Zhang Yi felt a little confused after seeing the battle report.

With his eyes closed and smirking, Zhang Yi muttered, "This guy, Huang Zhong and Sima Wei are doing a big thing in a muffled voice." ”

When he received the system battle report, Zhang Yi was listening to Gao Shun and Lu Bu's report on the process of the battle in Yingchuan, and he suddenly closed his eyes and smirked, but Gao Shun and Lu Bu were blinded by laughter.

"Did we report any problems?"

"No, right? Isn't it usually the same as reporting? ”

"Yes, but what are you laughing at?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Lu Bu and Gao Shun were muttering quietly over there, but Dian Wei, who was standing beside Zhang Yi, looked indifferent, because he had already seen it.

"You two don't mumble," interrupting the whispering two, Zhang Yi said with a smile: "I laugh because Huang Zhong and Sima Wei defeated the He Man Department in the north, more than 50,000 people in the He Man Department were captured, and He Man himself was also captured, and our army suffered less than 3,000 injuries, a great victory, a great victory!" ”

"What? Capture 50,000 enemies? ”

"Less than three thousand? How is this possible? ”

Zhang Yi's words made Gao Shun and Lu Bu stupid, and Dian Wei was even more stunned.

Looking at Zhang Yi incredulously, Gao Shun frowned and muttered: "Capture 50,000 alive but lose less than 3,000, how did this battle be fought?" No matter how weak the Yellow Turban Army is, it won't be so weak, right? ”

"Could it be that the two armies surrendered as soon as they saw each other, and the Yellow Turban Army surrendered?"

While speaking, Lu Bu looked at Zhang Yi, hoping to get an answer from Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi shook his head with a smile.

"I don't know very well," shrugged his shoulders Zhang Yi got up and stood up, and said as he walked down: "What about the good news, it was my junior brother who told me, but we can roughly infer the actual situation, didn't there be intelligence before that Cao Cao, Sun Jian and Liu Bei all went to ambush He Man, but only Liu Bei was ambushed at the Baili Changting?" Come, let's look at the map and talk. ”

Leading the two to the side of the long case, Zhang Yi began to search the road from Fengguguan to Jizhou.

The map used by the Dingping Army now is Zhang Yi's map through the system, and he drew it little by little, and it took two months before and after, and after the drawing, he ordered someone to print more than a dozen copies, and Zhang Yi has now begun to let people try to make a sand table, Zhang Yi believes that if there is a detailed sand table, his own battle will be twice the result with half the effort, but the production of sand table in this era is not something that can be made in a moment and a half.

"Hey, I found it," after finding the road, Zhang Yi knocked on the table and said: "First of all, one thing is certain, that is, Mr. Sima had already expected that He Man would abandon the pass and escape, so he made the corresponding arrangements, and secondly, you see, there are three ways to go from Fenggu Pass to Jizhou City, but according to the information sent back, Liu Bei ambushed He Man at the Baili Changting, and Cao Cao and Sun Jian planned to ambush He Man in the twenty-mile Tushan behind the Baili Changting, that is to say, Sun Liu Cao judged at the same time, He Man will take the official road of the three roads. ”

Gao Shun and Lu Bu also knew the map, and the two of them understood it at a glance, but it was precisely because they understood it that they both showed puzzled looks on their faces, because the three roads were about the same distance.

Looking at the road Zhang Yi pointed to, Gao Shun said puzzledly: "This is strange, there are three roads to go, and they are all about the same, why do they all judge that He Man wants to take that official road?" What is even more incomprehensible to me is that He Man really took this path. ”

"yes, why?" After thinking about it with his chin in his hand, Zhang Yi suddenly snapped his fingers and said confidently: "I deduce that the defense of the official road that was originally in charge of is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, you think, Cao Cao and Liu Bei both ran to ambush He Man, then the garrison of the defense area they were originally responsible for must be empty, so Cao Cao and they are equivalent to the official road that let He Man go." ”

"Oh!"

After Zhang Yiyi's explanation, Gao Shun and Lu Bu both showed sudden expressions on their faces, and then the two of them both bowed their hands and praised Zhang Yi sincerely: "The lord is wise!" ”

"Don't praise me," waving his hand, Zhang Yi said a little smugly: "I also made inferences based on the information sent back by our intelligence department, in other words, my wisdom is the credit of the intelligence department, let's talk about the ambush, you see, behind the Baili Long Pavilion, there is a fork in the road, and that fork in the road can also lead to Jizhou City, but it is fifty miles farther than taking the official road, and the exit of that road is close to Huang Zhong's station, As long as He Man is not stupid, he will definitely not go there, so Cao Cao and Sun Jian will choose the most favorable terrain near the Tushan to ambush He Man, I deduce that Cao Cao and Sun Jian should have set up a pocket array nearby, but with their strength, it is definitely impossible to eat He Man's more than 50,000 people in one bite, He Man's 50,000 horses, in our eyes, it is a dog that will lose its home, but in Cao Cao's eyes, it is a hard bone to gnaw. ”

Nodding, Gao Shun said with deep agreement: "Indeed, Cao Cao and their people still want to ambush He Man, and it would be good not to be destroyed by He Man." ”

"If you want to eat meat, you have to have a good tooth," Lu Bu, who was interested, also laughed and teased: "If Cao Cao bites He Man's flesh with bones, he will definitely have his teeth." ”

Listening to Lu Bu's words, Zhang Yi smiled and said: "So I deduced that they wanted to eat the baggage troops of He Man's rear army, and the fact is that Liu Bei's guy also thought so, he ambushed He Man's baggage troops, but Liu Bei's ambush of the baggage troops just alarmed He Man, so that He Man sensed the crisis in Tushan, so he turned around and walked the fork in the road and entered Huang Zhong's encirclement, and all of this was expected by Mr. Sima, I deduced that the important news that He Man was going to run away and Cao Cao was going to ambush He Man was given to Liu Bei, it was Mr. Sima who asked our intelligence officers to do it, because Liu Bei's head couldn't think of this, but Cao Cao had strategists around him who could think of it. ”

When it came to the strategists around Cao Cao, Zhang Yi took the lead in thinking of Xiwen and Guo Jia.

Guo Jia doesn't need to say, Cao Cao's important advisers, but when it comes to the joke, I'm afraid that many people don't know, the joke, the word Zhicai, is an important advisor around Cao Cao in the early days, and his status is equal to Guo Jia, but because of his untimely death, there are not many records of him in the history books, but the evaluation is very high, saying that if he didn't die young, Guo Jia Zhuge Liang and others are nothing at all, in the previous life, Zhang Yi did see his extraordinary wisdom, so the strategists around Cao Cao who he just said could do it, It's this drama that is talking about.

However, Zhang Yi didn't know that under the mistakes of this life, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai did not meet, but Guo Jia met Cao Cao several years earlier, which Zhang Yi did not expect, and it was precisely this that Zhang Yi almost died in Guo Jia's plan.

Of course, that's an afterthought, and the current situation is that Gao Shun and Lu Bu are still a little dizzy.

"But my lord, I still don't understand a little," Gao Shun, who had some key questions that he hadn't figured out, frowned and asked: "Lord, you see that with the means and speed of our current intelligence transmission, from Yingchuan City being taken by us, to He Man's abandonment and escape, and then to his ambush, the whole process is probably less than eight days, and this back and forth intelligence transmission, eight days is far from enough, right?" ”

Zhang Yi sent Gao Shun and Lu Buqi to attack Yingchuan without notifying Sima Wei, that is to say, Sima Wei should not have been earlier than himself when he got Yingchuan City to be captured by his own side, and it has been eight days since Yingchuan City was conquered by his own side, from Yingchuan to Sima Wei, and then to Sima Wei to transmit the news back to Yingchuan from himself, this back and forth time is indeed not enough.

"Dada~"

Fingernails rhythmically tapped on the tabletop, Zhang Yi quickly thought about Gao Shun's words in his mind, and finally Zhang Yi slapped the table hard and said suddenly: "Mr. Sima should have already calculated that Yingchuan City would be conquered before Fenggu Pass, you think about it, Peng Tuo transferred his troops to deal with us, and the strength of Yingchuan City fell to the lowest point, which Cao Cao and they will not fail to see, it is estimated that as soon as Peng Tuo's soldiers and horses are mobilized, Mr. Sima is planning this ambush." ”

Zhang Yi's speculation is already inseparable from the truth, Sima Wei did start planning to ambush He Man after learning that Peng Tuo led his troops to leave Yingchuan, but Sima Wei did not expect Zhang Yi to boldly attack Yingchuan.

"Hey~" After listening to Zhang Yi's inference, Gao Shun sighed and sighed sincerely: "Mr.'s plan is really far from what a martial artist like me can think of." ”

Listening to Gao Shun's admiration, Zhang Yi smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be presumptuous, Mr. Sima's plan also revolves around our intelligence officers." ”

"So it's still the lord who is wise," he hugged his fists at Zhang Yi, and Lu Bu said with admiration: "If it weren't for the lord who let Bai Zhan's kid start to engage in intelligence earlier, where would we have these clairvoyances." ”

"Don't pat me on the back, I don't like others to pat me on the back the most," although he was refusing, but after listening to Lu Bu's honest sycophant, Zhang Yi still showed a slightly meaningful smile on his face: "Okay, don't deduce this, my brain hurts when I think about it, since the Yellow Turban Army in Fenggu Pass has run away, then there is no point in me staying here, I will go north to find Huang Zhong early tomorrow morning, and by the way, ask Mr. to see if my inference is correct, you can also go back to rest." ”

After speaking, Zhang Yi stretched his waist and turned around and walked towards the bed, but until he sat on the bed, he didn't hear the sound of Lu Bu and Gao Shun retreating.

Sitting on the bed, Zhang Yi looked at the two of them suspiciously: "Huh? How? Something? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Shun clenched his fists and said: "Lord, I also want to hear the lord and Mr. Sima talk about the ambush, and have a long insight." ”

Gao Shun wanted to follow Zhang Yi north, but he was embarrassed to say it, so he found a reason to find such a lame reason.

"Lord," also clenched his fists, Lu Bu said bluntly: "Bu is willing to be the vanguard of the attack on Jizhou City!" ”

"You two want to go north with you, don't you?" After seeing through the scheming of the two at a glance, Zhang Yi took off his shoes and said: "I can tell you the truth, I went to Huang Zhong just to let Huang Zhong stay still, Jizhou is not as good as Yingchuan, that is Zhang Jiao, the Tiangong general of the Yellow Turban Army, is stationed, even if our Dingping Army comes to gnaw on this bone, it will be broken if it is not good, so this battle cannot be fought, and you, your task now is to guard Yingchuan City for me, protect the territory and the people, and then recruit troops, train, etc., as for Huang Zhong on the north side." , I'll get one of the judges or Tian Feng over to you when I go back, okay, you two can go and rest now, right? ”

Zhang Yi knows Zhang Jiao's strength quite well, he doesn't want his soldiers to sacrifice in vain, besides, now He Jin is ready to do it to himself, and he has a lot of benefits in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it's time to retreat, but even if he wants to retreat, Zhang Yi has to make another profit.

After learning that He Man abandoned the pass and fled, Zhang Yi had already issued an order to Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng, ordering them to mobilize men and horses to make a gesture of going south, and if necessary, they could also carry out some tentative attacks, and Zhang Yi's purpose in doing this was to put pressure on He Jin, and at the same time, he was also reminding He Jin of his own importance, so that He Jin should not act rashly.

At present, the army of the Eastern Han Dynasty is mainly divided into seven parts, He Jin led 100,000 central troops to guard Luoyang Baguan Gong to defend the Beijing division Luoyang, 10 permanent servants led the main force of the Xiyuan Army 30,000 to garrison the Beijing division in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo led 80,000 Western Liang troops to garrison Liangzhou to guard against the Qiang people, 50,000 garrisons on the Western Shu side to guard against the Nanban, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led the five schools and recruited new troops at Fenggu Pass, Gongsun Zan led the 130,000 troops of Youzhou to confront small countries such as Goguryeo, and the rest was the Northern Army that Zhang Yi mastered that originally guarded against Xianbei.

The Dingping Army in Zhang Yi's hands is not in the official sequence of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Dingping Army belongs to the local army in terms of establishment, but now this local army is a thorn in the hearts of He Jin and others, with a thorn in their hearts, naturally they can't sleep because they can't eat, and He Jin will naturally try to pull out this thorn.

After Lu Zhi's inexplicable death, He Jin actually wanted to forcibly seize Zhang Yi's military power, but the Ten Standing Servants kept staring at him to death, so that he had no chance to do it, and then the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, He Jin had to rely on Zhang Yi, so he didn't deal with Zhang Yi again, and it was precisely because Zhang Yi led the Dingping Army to march all the way, and the Yellow Turban Army that fought with the momentum of destruction and decay retreated one after another, which made Dong Zhuo, who should have emerged at this time, unable to lead his troops eastward, in other words, Zhang Yi pressed Dong Zhuo to death in Xiliang, But now the prestige of the Yellow Turban Army is not as good as before under Zhang Yi's blow.

The birds are all good and the bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys are cooked, this is a common phenomenon in history, the literature planned a life for Gou Jian, but in the end it was given death by Gou Jian; Bai Qi won more than 70 cities for the Qin State, and finally the King of Qin died; Han Xin made great achievements for the Han family, and finally ended up in a different place; After the generals of the Song Dynasty supported Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin came with a glass of wine to release the military power.

All of the above are examples, Zhang Yi doesn't want to be like them, not to mention that now there are signs of He Jin, Zhang Yi has to guard against it, although he now has heavy troops, but Zhang Yi does not think that he has the strength to overthrow the Han Dynasty, when Cao Cao's 830,000 army of Pingdong Wu was not also burned by a fire, not to mention, the current Zhang Jiao is even more of a living example, Zhang Yi is not stupid, he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Zhang Jiao.

Lying on the couch, Zhang Yi secretly thought about what he should do next.

"Now that I have Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao in my hands, I am just short of Zhang Jiao, but Zhang Jiao is also Ning Ning's father no matter how he says, and he is profound, and he really fights with him, even if I have Zuo Ci to help me, I can't ask for any benefits, besides, He Jin is staring at me behind my back, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Jian, I wish I hung up earlier, if I really fight with Zhang Jiao, then they will take the benefits of the fisherman, so I can't meet Zhang Jiao's real sword soldiers in public or private, but I have to take Zhang Jiao's head, Hey, you have to think of a way, you can't offend Ning'er, you can't lose your troops, and you have to get your head in your hands, it's really a headache! ”

Thinking about it, Zhang Yi fell asleep and gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yi led the Golden Daowei north according to the plan, and when Zhang Yi arrived at Jizhou City, Tian Feng, who was far away in Gaoyang, was also invited to Yingchuan City.

He Tian Feng really didn't think about following Zhang Yi before, but as he had more contact with the Dingping Army and saw what the Dingping Army did, he felt that Zhang Yi, the lord, might not be bad, so the two of them unknowingly changed the title of Zhang Yi to the lord in their report to Zhang Yi, which made Zhang Yi quite satisfied, because he was now lacking capable strategists.

Now there are a lot of generals available under Zhang Yi, but there are not many strategists who can be used, Sima Wei is generally the main general who assists the other way, and Shuangchen has not followed Zhang Yi for a long time, so that Zhang Yi has to put Guan Yu by his side, otherwise Zhang Yi really doesn't even have a person to discuss things, but Guan Yu is not a strategist after all, and Guan Yu will be a general in charge in the future, Zhang Yi can't just tie him to his side, so now Zhang Yi's desire for strategists is far greater than that of famous generals.

Zhang Yi also made a plan to change the 'search for talents', so that Bai Zhan and the others went to find some famous strategists, but with the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this matter was also put aside for the time being, and now that the war has stabilized, Zhang Yi is already considering whether to let his intelligence department continue to start the operation of 'looking for talents'.

On the third day when Zhang Yi arrived outside the city of Jizhou, Huangfu Song led Cao Cao and others to arrive, in order to show his dominant position, Zhang Yi led the golden sword guard to open the formation and greeted them ten miles away from the camp, and set up a banquet outside the camp to catch them.
