Chapter 224
"Let's go!"
In the early morning, outside Tanghai County, Liu Yu waved his hand and led the cavalry to gallop out first.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed with infantrymen and baggage.
The people in the city gathered outside the city and waved goodbye.
Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were very distressed. If they were older, they would be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Unfortunately, the two were not old enough and took the initiative to ask to go to the battlefield, but were scolded by the county magistrate.
Let them stay in Tanghai County, polish their martial arts, exercise their strength and learn culture.
Only in this way can they become a qualified Tanghai commander in the future.
The two of them were full of energy in their hearts, and they had to learn all the things that the county magistrate said.
Strive to become a qualified commander as soon as possible.
How exciting it would be to lead so many elite cavalry and rush to the enemy on the battlefield.
The two teenagers were very excited just thinking about it in their hearts.
…
“Sir, County Magistrate, why don’t we go straight to the Yellow Turbans’ lair, Guangzong City in Jizhou? Instead, we have to go to Yingchuan first?”
In the wilderness, Xu Huang asked the question in his heart while the warhorse was galloping.
Before departure, at the pre-war meeting, Liu Yu told several commanders that the first target was the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan, where Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were wreaking havoc.
However, he did not tell the commanders the specific purpose.
“Yingchuan is where talented scholars from all over the world gather.” Liu Yu explained to the commander beside him while controlling the warhorse to gallop.
“As long as we make a name for ourselves there, we will attract the attention of some scholars.”
“Try to make up for the shortcomings of our Tanghai County.”
“After all, we can’t just rely on Yang Lao to tap the potential.”
“Introducing talents from outside is also a very important part.”
“It can speed up the construction of our Tanghai County.”
“I see.” Xu Huang nodded.
"No wonder the county magistrate always says that fighting is just a superficial phenomenon. We need to look beyond the surface to see the essence of things."
"It turns out that there is such an essence when we go to war in Tanghai County."
"The county magistrate never fights a battle without preparation!"
Zhao Yun nodded in agreement, "Of course."
He pointed to the weeds and kerosene on his back.
"The battle plan has been arranged in advance."
"Where in the world is there a county magistrate who considers so carefully."
The two smiled at each other, not worrying about the next battle at all.
With such a county magistrate who can plan and strategize, it is not difficult to achieve a goal of winning every battle.
...
Yingchuan Changsha.
Huangfu Song led the court officers and soldiers to fight against the main force of the Yellow Turbans.
The Yellow Turbans led by Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were not only numerous, but also generally had high combat power.
Even the elite soldiers of the court could only fight one against two.
However, the number of the opponent was more than twice that of the court officers and soldiers.
Not counting the refugees and their families who were attached to the Yellow Turbans, the number of elite soldiers in the Yellow Turbans alone reached 70,000 to 80,000.
Such a huge number made it extremely difficult for the court officials and soldiers to fight.
The size was completely not on the same level as the opponent.
More importantly, the Yellow Turbans were very cunning.
They often used the refugees in the team to consume the physical strength of the court soldiers.
Then they sent out their elite soldiers.
Those refugees waving various farm tools, if you don't kill them, they will kill you instead.
The court soldiers had no choice but to kill.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun only found out the reason after interrogating some refugee captives.
It turned out that those damned Yellow Turban rebels actually explained to those refugees how bad the court was.
Described the court officials as devils who eat people without spitting out bones.
What made the two even more angry was that the people were bullied by the local clans and nobles in the place where they originally lived.
Moreover, many government officials also helped the tyrants to do evil.
The situation told by several refugee captives made the two generals in the court silent.
It is said that rebellion is a crime.
But can those refugees not rebel?
They were bullied to the point of their families being broken up and they had no food to eat.
Can they not rebel?
Such a situation made the two reflect on what happened in the court?
Why did the people of the world live so hard?
If they had food to eat, would they not rebel?
However, the more they thought about it, the more problems they found.
Like a collapsed river embankment, the endless flood was about to drown their thoughts.
When they fought the Yellow Turban again, they tried their best.
But looking at those refugees who were all over the mountains and plains, waving various farm tools and dressed in rags, rushing up like crazy.They were more sad.
What kind of situation did they have to be forced into to choose such a means of resistance?
In the battle again, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun used strategies and the continuous supply from the court to finally stabilize the situation in Yingchuan.
The Yellow Turban rebels, which were originally developing extremely rapidly, came to an abrupt end.
After discussing, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were really short of food.
So they retreated temporarily.
They retreated to Changsha and set up camp on the grass.
After waiting for supplies, they went out again to fight the court officials and troops.
They asked some soldiers to take the refugees and rush out in all directions.
Go to villages in various places to collect food.
Try to give more food to the elite soldiers in the Yellow Turban team.
Only in this way can they have the strength to continue fighting with the court officials and soldiers.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who had been tired for many days, ordered the soldiers to set up camp.
We also need to rest and wait for the Yellow Turbans to counterattack.
In the camp, two generals from the court sat facing each other.
Huangfu Song spoke first: "Now the Yellow Turban rebels are camping on the grass, we should use fire attack."
"Attack their military spirit, then attack from all sides and defeat them in one battle."
"Disperse those refugees who are being dragged by them, and take the opportunity to weaken the main force of the Yellow Turbans."
"As long as the number of the enemy decreases, or even disperses, it is our opportunity to defeat them one by one."
Zhu Jun nodded in agreement: "Let's do it!"
"Tell the soldiers to cut grass tonight."
"Let it dry for two days, just enough time for the soldiers to rest."
"Then launch a fire attack on the Yellow Turbans."
The two discussed the details and waited for the attack.
...
The Yellow Turban Camp in Changsha.
"Damn it!"
In the big tent, Zhang Liang drank a lot of wine and threw the wine pot hard on the ground.
"Damn the government troops, how come they are like they drank chicken blood."
"They are much more brave in the battle than before."
"What's going on?"
Zhang Bao frowned and thought: "I think our Yellow Turban Army has been rebelling for some time."
"Not only was it not quickly suppressed, but it has grown stronger and stronger."
"It must be the dog emperor in the court who put pressure on them to suppress the rebellion."
"Let them fight hard, otherwise they will lose their official hats."
"That's why the two running dogs of the court led the soldiers to fight."
"Plus, we are really short of food."
"Alas!"
Zhang Bao sighed.
"If we give our Yellow Turban Army enough food, let alone Yingchuan, even Luoyang will be conquered!"
