Yellow Turban Troubled Times Chapter 149 Darkness Chen Cang's Eighth Plan
"Yun Chang, this time the army is moving westward, the first echelon is led by you, and Li Fu is the main bookkeeper of the march, can you have any objections?"
"Yu Youxin and the military advisor and Zilong stayed to kill the enemy, but he was ill and couldn't do it, so he had to take the first step, everyone take care!" Guan Yu was not pretentious, with his current body, staying would make the rest of the people worry, so he simply chose to lead the team to retreat first.
"The imperial army led by Lu Zhi has left Wei County and is marching towards Guangping, and it is estimated that it will arrive at Guangping City in three days. Guochang's letter asks us to leave only one piece of jīm-o to Lu Zhi, time is pressing, we need to act immediately!" Tian Feng said again.
"If the army retreats together, it will definitely be seen by the people in the city, although Yuan Shu is a straw bag, but I heard the third brother say, the county governor Zhang He is not to be underestimated, how to make Yuan Shu dare not go out of the city to chase after still needs to be carefully designed. Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.
"You have all been trained in the 'Crouching Tiger Martial Arts Hall', you should be familiar with Guochang's "Thirty-six Strategies", right?" Tian Feng asked Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Dian Wei with a smile on his face.
"I have studied it carefully and benefited a lot!" Zhao Yun nodded and replied.
"What's the eighth plan?" Tian Feng asked.
"Darkness Chencang!" Several others answered at the same time. Then Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Dian Wei all seemed to understand a little, and couldn't help asking, "Who will repair the plank road?"
"Of course it's Meng Xiao, the name of the vanguard general, now it's not ordinarily loud on the Jizhou border!" Tian Feng teased Dian Wei.
"Hehe, I can't count the number of heads, when will I become the vanguard general of the Crouching Tiger Army, then it will be called a majesty!" Dian Wei scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said in a loud voice.
"Mr. Yuan Hao, how many steps will the army take to retreat west?" Zhao Yun asked with concern.
"It's a three-step process. In the first step, Yun Chang led a thousand foot soldiers to lead the 50,000 ordinary people and the elders of Zhaojiazhuang to get up immediately, and then passed through Huguan and went straight to Shangdang, and after a short rest, 50,000 people would be placed in Xihe County; in the second step, Zilong, Lu Xiang, and Lu Kuang would pretend to attack Huguan with 100,000 Yellow Turban Rebels tomorrow, and then go straight to Taiyuan County, and take down all the remaining counties in Bingzhou except Shangdang and Xihe!" Tian Feng carefully explained the battle plan teleported by Zhao Xing's people in the starry night to several generals.
"In the third step, Dian Wei, Wang Lu and I stayed to feint against Guangping, not only to deter Yuan Shu, but also to let Lu Zhi, who led the army, appreciate the power of the 20,000 'vanguard army'!" Tian Feng said confidently. "Now that the plan has been decided, everyone from all walks of life will act immediately!"
Subsequently, Guan Yu, who had just recovered from his injuries, rebelled with the Yellow Turban Rebel Army unintentionally, but more than 50,000 ordinary people who were coerced in, as well as hundreds of Zhao clansmen who had abandoned their homes, marched to Huguan, which was 300 miles away from Guangping, under the escort of a thousand foot soldiers.
"General, where are we going?" Zhao Hutou, who had already been arranged by Guan Yu to enter the pro-military camp, approached Guan Yu's side and asked Guan Yu cautiously.
"Go back to the party!" Guan Yu replied very dryly.
"The party is guarded by officials and soldiers, how can we fight these unarmed people?" Zhao Hutou asked again with a puzzled face.
"I'm talking about back, not fighting!" Guan Yu still didn't say a single extra word.
"Oh, it seems that Brother Guochang has returned to the party. Zhao Hutou didn't dare to ask again, and muttered to himself.
"You are not stupid, work harder, and you should make a difference in the future!" Guan Yu turned his head and threw a sentence of no beginning and no end to Zhao Hutou.
When Guan Yu took the people away, the defenders on Guangping City watched, and no one reported to Yuan Shu, and there were still hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans under the city.
On the second day, Zhao Yun still swaggered westward with the youth of the 100,000 Yellow Turban Rebel Army. At this time, the officers and soldiers guarding the city couldn't help it, and hurriedly ran to report to Yuan Shu.
"Report to the county guard, the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves have withdrawn, 50,000 old and weak people left yesterday, another 100,000 young and strong today, and now there are only 20,000 moth thieves left in the city!" Lei Bo reported to Yuan Shu.
"Junyi, what do you think of the actions of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief?" Yuan Shu, who was killed by Dian Wei, was now obeying Zhang He's opinion in everything.
"I thought that the imperial army would come to the rescue soon, and the Yellow Turban Moth Thief might have to go west and merge the state!" Zhang He said.
"How do we deal with ourselves now?" asked Yuan Shu again.
"Wait for reinforcements, wait for the opportunity to move!" Zhang He said.
Three days later, under the Huguan, the team led by Guan Yu had arrived.
"I am Guan Yu, the deputy commander of the Crouching Tiger Army, please come out and answer the generals!" Guan Yu shouted at the soldiers guarding the pass.
"Zhou Cang, the guard of the Huguan Pass, has seen the deputy commander!" After a while, Zhou Cang poked his head out of the gate and shouted to Guan Yu.
"This is the military commander Zhao Xing's handwritten customs clearance paperwork, and Captain Zhou took it!" Then Guan Yu asked his subordinates to tie a letter with a ringing arrow, and sh- went to the customs building. Zhou Cang picked up the letter received by his subordinates and checked it carefully, and shouted loudly to the soldiers who opened M-N: "Open Guan M-N, welcome Deputy Commander Guan into the city!"
In the evening of the same day, Zhao Yun also came to Huguan with 100,000 yellow scarves.
"The guards of the gate come out to answer! I am the general of the Yellow Turban Vanguard Army!" Zhao Yun shouted at the defenders of the gate.
After a while, Zhou Cang poked his head out again, "Well, the thieves under the city listen, I am Zhou Cang, the guard of the party, leave here, otherwise the pile of scenery outside the gate will be the end!"
Without waiting for Zhou Cang to finish speaking, Zhao Yun shot an arrow, hitting the red tassel on Zhou Cang's helmet, which frightened Zhou Cang and retracted his head.
"Senior Commander Zhao is also a little more violent, and said that he is going to fake sh-, and he really ran to my old Zhou's face m-n to come with an arrow, which is really bluffing!" Zhou Cang hid under the closed battlement and muttered, "Yes, as soon as Senior Commander Zhao comes, it is estimated that Senior Commander Xu, who will take over my defense of Huguan at night, will also come, and now I can follow the lord to kill the enemy!"
In the first half of the night, Zhou Cang took 2,000 pot guards to the pass, wearing only cloth clothes, asking for nothing, and "fled" to the party in a gloomy manner. Zhou Cang walked here for less than an hour, and Zhao Yun led the Yellow Turban Army to "capture" Huguan in one fell swoop, and swept away all kinds of weapons and weapons that Zhao Xing had prepared for a long time in Huguan, as well as a large amount of grain and grass and more than 1,000 Xianbei horses, all of which funded the "Yellow Turban Army" free of charge!
Most of these weapons were eliminated by Zhao Yun's descendants, and some were transported from the treasury of Xihe County. There are even some scimitars and bows used by the Xianbei people, but these weapons were seized from the Xianbei people by Zhang Liao after they were cleaned by a tribe and a tribe in Wuyuan. The 100,000 Yellow Turban Army is not yet as effective and organized as the "Vanguard Army" personally commanded by Dian Wei, so Zhao Xing only gave some remaining weapons.
For these 100,000 people, Zhao Xing wants them to be consumed and tempered in battle, because these people will be stationed in the Great Wall in the future, and in the future, they will directly contact the Xianbei and Southern Xiongnu in the north, and they must be like vicious wolves, as long as anyone comes to invade, they will rush up and tear them to pieces!
The target of the 100,000 "Yellow Turban Army" was to merge with the state, so after looting the Huguan, they quickly rushed to the north of the state. At first, many people clamored to occupy Shangdang, but after Zhao Yun directly killed a dozen of them with a spear, everyone shut up. At that time, Zhao Yun said: "Enter the state, all actions are subject to my orders, otherwise, there will be no forgiveness!"
Soon after Zhao Yun crossed the pass with 100,000 people, Xu Huang entered Huguan with 2,000 Crouching Tiger soldiers. The combat strength of these 2,000 people is probably the strongest today. Because among the 2,000 people, there are not only more than 200 dead soldiers who followed Xu Huang on Chinese New Year's Eve and fought to the death, but also the single-soldier crossbow and the city-defending crossbow that have just been successfully developed by the Crouching Tiger Equipment Research Institute have become even more terrifying "thunder"!
Later historians once commented: The Huguan garrison has never been more than 2,000, but even if Yuan Shao knocked on the pass with an army of 300,000, he only left tens of thousands of corpses and returned with hatred, and never crossed the Huguan Pass for half a step!
