Chapter 90: Xun Yu
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai came to the backyard, there were two low thatched huts, there were a few peach trees planted in the yard, the peaches were also green, and a few small peaches were dotted among them, and an old man with white eyebrows and a ruddy face stood in the middle of the yard, and when he saw Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai coming over, he spoke.
"The yellow scarf rises again under the mountain, and you have no intention of studying on the mountain, so why don't you go down the mountain?"
"Sir, the student has not completed his studies, and he still wants to study with Mr. for another two years," Xi Zhicai said.
"Zhicai is too modest, with your talent, it is more than enough to govern a county, you are the main student to govern the place, and you will be taught everything that the teacher can teach you, and the rest is up to you" Mr. Shuijing looked at Xi Zhicai, and was still very satisfied with this student, calm and restrained.
"Then where can we go down the mountain now?" asked Guo Jia.
"The yellow scarves under the mountain are raging, it is the time for you to make contributions, you can go to Yingyin County to help Wen Ruo, or you can go to Ruyang Hou Jun to give advice" Mr. Shuijing looked at Guo Jia, and gave him a little headache for this student.
Guo Jia's family is average, but he is addicted to alcohol, he is weak, and he has natural resources, but he is arrogant, and he is afraid that he will suffer some hardships.
"Where is Ruyang Hou now?" asked Xi Zhicai.
"For the division to get the news, Ruyang Hou has arrived at the foot of the mountain and is stationed in the county seat of Chonggao County, I am afraid that in the near future, the troops will go out of Chonggao and kill Xiangyang City" Mr. Shui Jing finished speaking, and his face couldn't help showing worry.
"There are 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in Yangcheng, and there are only 2,000 soldiers brought by Ruyang Hou, and Funiu Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, isn't it no different from sending them to death like this," Xi Zhicai said.
"All the teachers want you two to go and see if you can persuade the Marquis of Ruyang to think about it in the long run," Mr. Shui Jing said the purpose of this time.
"I'm afraid that the Marquis of Ruyang may not be willing to listen," Guo Jia said.
"It is rumored that Ruyang Hou is humble and good at listening to the advice of others, presumably if the two of you tell the truth, Ruyang Hou will not insist on going his own way"
"Students remember" Xi Zhicai bowed deeply.
"Zhicai, Fengxiao, you should go down the mountain" Mr. Shuijing finished speaking, turned around and walked towards the hut.
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai saluted Mr. Shuijing's back again and walked down the mountain.
The east gate of Yingyin County.
The fierce siege has lasted for half a month, there are corpses lying on the ground under the city wall, the weather has warmed, the pungent smell envelops the entire Yingyin County, and the Yellow Turban soldiers temporarily retreated, giving the soldiers of the city wall a chance to breathe.
"Count the casualties, treat the wounded, and prepare to defend the city," a young scholar said.
After a while, a soldier came and said.
"Mr. Xun, there are only three hundred and twenty-one people left on the city wall who can fight"
The young scholar frowned when he heard this, and looked at the Yellow Turban army in the distance, puffs of green smoke rose in a curling manner, obviously the Yellow Turban soldiers were burying the pot to make rice, and after eating, they would definitely launch a more fierce attack.
The young scholar fell into deep thought, there were nearly 30,000 Yellow Turban troops outside the city, and he was afraid that he would not be able to defend Yingyin County, and the young scholar shot two essences in his eyes, and said to the soldiers behind him.
"Go and assemble all the soldiers of the city gate at the east gate, and wait for the command."
Although the soldiers did not understand, they still did according to the words of the young scholar, and after less than a stick of incense, the east gate had gathered more than 800 soldiers, all of whom were the private soldiers of the major families who were not injured.
The young man stood in front of the eight hundred private soldiers and spoke slowly.
"Yingyin County will be breached, and then the grain will be robbed, relatives will be slaughtered, and wives and daughters will be taken captive, are you willing?"
"No," shouted eight hundred people in unison.
"Then are you afraid of death?"
"Don't be afraid"
"Okay, worthy of being a good boy in Yingyin, now is the opportunity to break the yellow scarf, are you willing" the young scholar continued.
The morale of the "willing" 800 people has been mobilized, and hatred fills their eyes.
"The Yellow Turban Army outside the city is eating, if we suddenly kill, they will be caught off guard, do you dare to go out of the city to fight" The young scholar pulled out the long sword at his waist, and the blade pointed at the sky.
This time the answer was not so neat, some spoke, some hesitated, and some opposed, and the young scholar looked at it and did not speak.
"Why don't you dare, it's a big deal to die, it's better to go out and kill a person who is guarding the city wall" A man with a scar on his face and a long knife in his hand said with a laugh.
"Go out and fight with their group of bitches," a middle-aged man with a long sword also shouted.
More and more people are willing to go out of the city to fight.
"Okay, today I, Xun Yu, will accompany everyone out of the city to kill the enemy"
After saying that, he let out a loud shout and opened the door.
The city gate slowly opened, and Xun Yu took the lead in rushing out of the city, stepping on the Yellow Turban soldiers who were already somewhat rotten underground, and killing the Yellow Turban Army in the distance.
The yellow scarf has besieged Yingyin County for more than half a month, and no one has ever rushed out, not even the most basic fence has been set up, so it is scattered outside the city, constantly attacking, and now they are gathered together in twos and threes, and are about to eat, when they suddenly hear a shout of killing, like thousands of troops rushing head-on, the first time is not to fight, but to turn around and run.
The generals of the Yellow Turbans were all in the rear, and they were not able to command for a while. Eight hundred Yingyin soldiers entered the formation of the Yellow Turban without any resistance, and the Yellow Turban soldiers suddenly became even more chaotic, trampling on each other and dying.
Eight hundred soldiers pursued and killed five miles away, and Xun Yu was afraid of being surrounded by the Yellow Turban soldiers, so he collected his troops and returned to the city.
Yellow Turban Camp.
Guan Hai killed hundreds of deserters in a row, and he was about to gather the Yellow Turban soldiers to surround and kill these hundreds of soldiers, but he knew that the other party had already returned to the city, and angrily slashed and killed several Yellow Turban soldiers.
This battle from the beginning to the end of only two hours, the Yellow Turban soldiers suffered more than 3,000 casualties, more than a few days of siege casualties, now although the Yellow Turban Army stabilized the retreat, but the morale has been lost, Guan Hai had no choice but to arrange the Yellow Turban soldiers to rest in situ, ready to attack the city tomorrow.
The night was pitch black. The improvised camp of the Yellow Turban was quiet, Xun Yu with eight hundred soldiers appeared here again, looked at the sleeping Yellow Turban Army in the distance, and immediately ordered. Eight hundred soldiers entered the flock like tigers, and once again killed the Yellow Turban soldiers, the courage to fight during the day has been lost, and the resistance at night is even few.
This time the fight was fought until the sky was about to dawn, the dawn of the sky broke through the clouds, and then collected the troops back to the city, this time the yellow turban damage exceeded 5,000 people, and there were countless people who fled and escaped, and when Guan Hai gathered the army together, he found that there were less than 15,000 people, and they were damaged in just one day, so they had no choice but to take the soldiers to Yangzhai County.
Seeing the Yellow Turban soldiers retreating, Xun Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, after two major battles, although Yingyin County has achieved a big victory, but more than half of the casualties have been killed, and now there are less than 400 people left, and they have to guard three city gates, if the Yellow Turban Army chooses to attack the city, it is really no chance at all.
