On the third day of the fall of Xiatao City, more than 50,000 soldiers and civilians had already cleaned up the county town, which had been occupied by Zhang Jiao for more than a year, and in Zhao Xing's words, it was best not to leave even a rafter to Yuan Shao in Jizhou when leaving. (Zhao Xing only brought 50,000 people with him when he left the prefecture, so how could there be a few thousand more people at this time?) It turned out that the extra ones were the group of Yellow Turban 1u-n people who were related to the prefecture by the mass work team.)

Zhao Xing adopted an unconventional siege method, and it didn't take half a day to break through the city. This caught Lu Zhi and Yuan Shao off guard. When Zhao Xing entered the city, he caught all the things that could be caught, all the ones who could be killed, all the ones who could be turned, and all the ones who could be moved, and then the two of them came to their senses - the fruits of victory in the city were swallowed by Zhao Xing alone!

The latest information sent by Tanma shows that Zhao Xing has used 5,000 men and horses to move the population and escort property, which means that Zhao Xing's actual strength is not even 30,000. Regardless of how much benefit Zhao Xing earned from Jizhou by dispatching so many people, Zhao Xing's practice of sending troops to escort him attracted the attention and calculation of Yuan Shao's advisers.

Strategist Yuan Shao: Since Zhao Xing has a mysterious and powerful siege weapon, and his appetite is so big, it is better to give him the remaining Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, as long as he occupies a city, he will send a part of the troops to escort the population and goods back, Jizhou is so big, and when Zhao Xing loots from the south of Jizhou to the north, it is estimated that there are more than 10,000 soldiers left. At that time, let Zhao Xing encircle and suppress the black mountain thief Zhang Yan, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will definitely suffer heavy losses, and when Zhao Xing is the weakest, it will be the time to attack him!

The strategist Xu You suggested to Yuan Shao: sī Xiali reveal the truth about the destruction of the city in advance1-to Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, so that they must not fight with Zhao Xing at the head of the city, and be careful of Zhao Xingjian's plan. As long as Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang are not easily killed by Zhao Xing, then Zhao Xing will definitely slaughter his heels under these two cities, at least knock out a few teeth.

The strategist also put forward a proposition: Zhao Xing is good at Gu Hu-people's hearts, using ordinary people to divide and disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Yellow Turbans in the city. If you want Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang to hold on for a while longer and aggravate Zhao Xing's troop attrition, you have to help Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang come up with more ideas and find ways to deal with Zhao Xing's public opinion propaganda offensive.

In the end, the result of everyone's deliberation was that the best tool to deal with the public opinion offensive was still public opinion, as long as they had the right to speak, and before Zhao Xing arrived, they wantonly created rumors about Zhao Xing and "demonized" Zhao Xing, then the yellow scarves in the city would not be easy to be divided and disintegrated.

Considering that Zhao Xing has always liked to eat alone, and his own manpower can't defeat any of the cities where Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are entrenched, Yuan Shao can only watch the huge benefits slip away from his face, and reluctantly agree to Fu Zhi's suggestion. It's not enough for Yuan Shao to agree, he still has to persuade Lu Zhi to let Lu Zhi agree with this opinion, so that he can lose the task of attacking the two fortified cities of Lecheng and Nanpi to Zhao Xing.

There is a saying called: "Three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang". Fu Zhu, Xu Yu and Juan Pei are not stinkers, they are first-class strategists, and Zhuge Liang is still a doll, and he does not belong to Zhao Xing. Therefore, Zhao Xing is likely to be calculated by Yuan Shao this time.

First, the Thunder Siege is indeed a sharp weapon, but the limitations of X-NG are also obvious. Its explosive power is relatively small, and it relies entirely on numbers to win. Zhao Xing went out of Jizhou this time, and the logistical supply of 780,000 people was a very heavy burden, if he hadn't let people rush to make two portable trucks, "wheelbarrows" and "two-wheeled ox-drawn carts", the grain and grass for people and horses alone would have been a big problem. Limited by the lack of capacity, Zhao Xing did not bring a lot of "thunderbolts" this time, in order to cover people's eyes, he blew up twice on the edge of the river beach, and let the Lu brothers take away some of them, and now the thunderbolts available in his hands can also blow up another city m-nd-ng.

Second, with Yuan Shao sending someone to report to Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, the internal defenses of Le Cheng and Nanpi will be tighter, especially the two big leaders will not be easily sent to the sky by Zhao Xing. As long as Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang are alive, the Yellow Turban diehards in the city will have the backbone, and the possibility of stubborn resistance to the end is greater.

Third, Yuan Shao also helped Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang come up with ideas, teaching them to "demonize" Zhao Xing through rumors, slander, malicious smears and other means, so that the people of the Yellow Turban 1u-n in the city would have "antibodies" to Zhao Xing's mass public opinion offensive, and Zhao Xing's previous means of disintegrating the enemy army would be difficult to work.

Fourth, others have seen Zhao Xing's weakness, that is, he likes to abduct people. Zhao Xing will capture a group of Yellow Turban captives every time he fights a city in the future, and if it is estimated that more than 200,000 people need to be relocated to guard Shangjun, then Zhao Xing will have to arrange at least 7,000 soldiers to escort the Yellow Turban captives to Bingzhou. If the stream continues in this way, in the end, Zhao Xing's available troops will become less and less.

Fifth, Yuan Shao had already begun to ambush a large number of dead soldiers near Montenegro, preparing to take the opportunity to assassinate Zhao Xing. At that time, if you are unfortunate enough to be hit, the result will be even more unimaginable.

If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates. Zhao Xing's opponent is not a god, but his teammates are trying to find a way to make him a god. Zhao Xing's teammate is not a pig, but a poisonous snake hidden in the farmer's arms. After thinking about it, Yuan Shaosi felt that it was not an exaggeration to plan such a huge strategy to deal with Zhao Xing, as long as he could get rid of Zhao Xing, his Yuan family would be able to stand. And for Zhao Xing to live one more day, it would be a nightmare for the Yuan clan.

So Yuan Shao immediately wrote a letter, asking his subordinates to pass to Luoyang quickly, and he also went to Lu Zhi's tent to persuade him.

"What does Lu Gong think of Zhao Guochang?" Yuan Shao asked Lu Zhi.

"Zhong is the first hero of the Han Dynasty, and Jian is the first national thief of the Han Dynasty!" Lu Zhi said in a reel of words. For the Yuan family, Lu Zhi also doesn't trust much, so he doesn't say a lot of things in his heart.

"Then Lu Gong thought that Zhao Guochang had stolen and annexed the state, did not pay tribute, changed the ancestral system, appointed officials in vain, and raised tens of millions of soldiers and horses, what was his intention?" Yuan Shao asked again.

"If there are many 1u-n elephants today, those who have a little resourcefulness are worried about self-preservation, and Zhao Guochang is understandable for acting like this. Lu Zhi still didn't tell the truth.

"I implore Lu Gong to work with Shao to get rid of this thief for the sake of the country and the people!" Yuan Shao saw that Lu Zhi was waiting for him to express his position first, so he had to go out and make his intentions clear.

"I don't know what the best plan was in the beginning?" Lu Zhi thought for a moment and asked Yuan Shao expressionlessly.

So Yuan Shao revealed the plan and inventory that had been agreed, except for the plan to assassinate Zhao Xing in the Montenegro area.

"I have been out with the army for more than a year, and now the soldiers are tired, so I will go to the court tomorrow and ask to return to Luoyang to recuperate, and Jizhou will suppress the bandits, so I will give it to General Benchu and Zhenbei!" Lu Zhi said something inexplicable.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao was overjoyed! Lu Zhi said that he wanted to return to Luoyang, which meant that he would not be involved in this matter, but as soon as Lu Zhi withdrew from the army, the burden of clearing the Yellow Turban was even more to be pushed to Zhao Xing, isn't this a disguised agreement with his plan?

Half a month has passed, and Lu Zhi and Yuan Shao have no next move, nor do they come to him to discuss the future use of troops, Zhao Xing is still thinking, "Could it be that the earth-shaking thunder is too powerful, and Yuan Shao and Lu Zhizhen's brains are not good?" Just when Zhao Xing was puzzled, the imperial court sent an envoy to speak highly of and praise him for his action in exterminating the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, but he didn't give a single benefit.

The imperial court said that because Lu Zhi led the army abroad for more than a year, the soldiers were tired, and they would withdraw to Luoyang to rest and recuperate in the future; Yuan Shao's corporal and soldiers had low combat effectiveness, so they could only barely keep the state from being attacked by the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro. In view of this, the task of exterminating the thief chieftains Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang and crusading against Zhang Yan in Montenegro was given to Zhao Xing, and Zhao Xing was also given a hat of "Youji Thief Envoy".

It's not the first time that Zhao Xing has been united to calculate, but this time he is not only counting enemies, but also his original teammates, how should he face it?
