Yanzhou: Between the Ji River, the excellent soil quality is the original, the old relics of Confucius and Mencius are good, and their people are still Confucian, studious, and righteous, so they are called "Yan".

The vast majority of the Yellow Turban Thieves are ordinary people, and they have gathered together due to natural and man-made disasters and the bewitchment of Zhang Jiao and others.

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand. The year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. ”

This well-known proverb is their slogan.

With the death of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, the rest of the Yellow Turban thieves fought on their own.

Of course, this failure is only from the political aspect, without a core leader and leadership program, their uprising will naturally become a tree without roots and a weed without water.

In addition, the yellow turban thieves gathered together, dragged their families with their mouths, and did not produce, and the so-called grain and grass baggage could only be obtained by snatching.

If there is a vivid way to describe them, it is locust transit.

Wherever you go, everything that can be eaten will be eaten, and when you don't eat, the phenomenon of eating is also common.

Yi Zi eats, but the simple four words depict the great pain that people bear in order to live.

Swapping children to eat, it always feels creepy to think about it.

With the imperial court's policy of appeasing the displaced people, the yellow turban thieves in many places have gradually returned to their previous normal life.

But I'm afraid everything I experienced in the middle won't be so easy to forget.

Today, Yanzhou has become a new target of the 'Yellow Turban Army'.

This group of 'Yellow Turban Army' who plundered Yanzhou came from Qingzhou, as for why they didn't continue to stay in Qingzhou.

The reason is very simple, because there is no food left in Qingzhou.

If there is nothing to eat, people will starve to death.

The 'Yellow Turban Army' that gathered together naturally didn't want to starve to death, so they could only continue to plague other places.

The so-called "bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates." ”

The robbers came and plundered, combing like a comb and looting all the belongings of the house, but the teeth of the comb were separated from each other, and there were still leaks.

And the grate teeth are very thin, and the soldiers come to plunder, it is clear and clear, there is plenty of time, and they scramble carefully, and the plundering is more ruthless than the bandits.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion began with some organized people, and then it was coerced by other ordinary people.

In the eyes of the imperial court, the original Yellow Turban thieves could only be counted as 'bandits' at best.

But as the war continued, the 'Yellow Turban Thieves', who had low combat effectiveness, became the 'Yellow Turban Army', and that was a very tricky matter.

There are many people in the 'Yellow Turban Army' who can fight, and the current constraint on them is the problem of food and grass.

Cao Cao and Bao Xin, who have strategic vision, naturally saw the problem.

Cao Cao proposed: "Yuncheng, now that the Yellow Turban Thief has won for a while, it is expected that it will inevitably underestimate the enemy. ”

"We can set up an ambush in Shouzhang in advance, so that we can defeat its main force while its foothold is not stable."

"If its main force is dispersed, the rest of the others are not to worry."

"At that time, we will suppress and appease them, accept those who can fight, and settle the remnants, then Yanzhou can be determined!"

"Yanzhou is fixed, we can attack Qingzhou, with Qingzhou and Yanzhou in control, then we will have to rely on Dong Zhuo to compete."

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with confidence, and in his experience, there was no problem with his strategy.

Bao Xin, who was on the side, heard this, and pondered for a moment, "Meng De's words are reasonable. ”

"It's a feasible plan."

"With the land of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, the thieves of the Yellow Turban will have the capital to compete with Dong Zhuo."

"It's just that the letter is still the same attitude as before, and now it's not Dong Zhuo who is difficult to deal with."

Speaking of this, Bao Xin sighed lightly.

Cao Cao saw that Bao Xin agreed, and said with a smile: "Okay, this time Cao will lead the troops with Yuncheng, and the cavalry will open the way first." ”

"As for what Yuncheng said before, I will keep it in mind."

"I won't forget it."

Bao Xin nodded.

If you want to say that Cao Cao and Bao Xin are playing some dumb riddles, it is because a long time ago, Bao Xin had said to Cao Cao that Yuan Shao used public weapons for private use, obviously to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but secretly he was accumulating strength.

It will definitely become the second Dong Zhuo in the future.

Now that Yuan Shao has occupied the land of Jizhou, if he waits for him to gain a firm foothold, then he will really act according to the script that Bao Xin said.

However, at the moment, it is necessary to solve the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou first.

Immediately, Cao Cao instructed the first generals: "The generals will obey the order!" Point up the soldiers and horses, and the soldiers will be long-lived! ”

The generals shouted in unison: "The last general commands!" ”

With Cao Cao's order, the army began to move.

Cao Cao and Bao Xin went ahead with the cavalry.

However, Cao Cao and Bao Xin marched too fast, which led to problems in the connection between the cavalry and the infoot.

In addition, the luck was "too good", and he was going to set up an ambush, but he didn't expect to directly bump into the main force of the Yellow Turban Thief.

Their cavalry was surrounded by yellow turban thieves!

The battlefield was chaotic, the sound of fighting continued, and the cavalry, which had been good at charging, fell into the military formation.

Bao Xin took the reins of the mount with his left hand, his eyes showed an anxious look, and his right hand held the spear upside down, and the red blood on the spear that had just finished killing people before fell to the ground.

The cold light on the head of the spear dripping with blood flickered, and now it had reaped a lot of lives in the battle.

"General! I'll get out of here! ”

A guard beside Bao Xin hurriedly said, "Now there are a large number of Yellow Turban thieves, if you don't retreat, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave!" ”

"No way!"

"Meng De came to the rescue of Yanzhou because of me, and now that he is caught in the thieves, how can I escape alone!"

Bao Xin shouted: "Don't say more!" ”

"Gather the soldiers and horses as soon as possible, and go to the rescue with the prime minister!"

Seeing his words, the guards around Bao Xin gritted their teeth and responded: "My subordinates have orders!" ”

With that, he led a few men to beat the horses and left, and went to gather the scattered soldiers and horses.

At this time, Cao Cao's armor, which was surrounded by the Yellow Turban Thieves, was covered with bloodstains, but most of them were left by the Yellow Turban Thieves.

Only more than 100 people from the personal guard headquarters followed him, and the rest of the armies were scattered in the military formation.

Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, looking unusually calm, but his heart was anxious.

Could it be that I, Cao Mengde, am going to die here?!

The Yellow Turban Thieves have not yet been eradicated.

Dong Zhuo has not been removed, and the Han family has not been restored, how can I die here!

Cao Cao's eyes showed determination, he must not die!

"Everyone listens!"

"I'm rushing to kill for a while!"

Cao Cao took the lead in charging with a long lance in his hand, and the men and horses under his command showed their determination when they saw that the main general was so heroic.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

After another rush and killing, people were sleepy and tired, and Cao Cao and others had to find a place to repair and rest.

And then the Yellow Turbans are so numerous, how can they get what they want.

At that moment, a loud shout rang out.

"Mengde, the letter is here to help you!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, it turned out that Bao Xin had gathered some soldiers and horses and came to support!

Before Cao Cao could speak, he only heard Bao Xin say urgently: "I will divide half of the soldiers and horses with Meng De, and Meng De will break through the siege and infantry first." ”

"I'll cut it off."

Cao Cao asked, his eyes were moved for a moment, and he replied: "Okay! ”

"I'm going back to bring in reinforcements for this breakout!"

"Yuncheng take care!"

Bao Xin laughed, "Good! The eldest husband is shrouded in horse leather, and the letter is already a year of confusion, even if he dies here, what does it matter! ”

"Soldiers! Rush with Ben! ”

With a loud shout, Bao Xin rushed towards the Yellow Turban Army with his own soldiers and horses.

Cao Cao did not delay, and found another place to rush to the periphery, he knew that Bao Xin's doing this was no different from seeking death.

But Bao Xin gave her the opportunity to break through, if he was still pretentious, wouldn't he live up to Bao Xin's kindness!
