"Well done! I'm proud of you!" Liu Bei patted Zhang Han's shoulder with satisfaction, but said in his heart: Damn you, I didn't expect you to actually win!

Zhang Han didn't feel any joy, and just replied lightly: "The victory in this battle was only expected. It was meant to deal with innocent people, plus I am ice-snow smart!" After saying this, he glanced at Guan Guan again, Feifei said: "

And these two guys are so amazing, even if they win, it won’t matter.

It's something to be proud of. Besides, we just dispersed the 100,000 rebels who were blocking the way. There are at least 70,000 or 80,000 Yellow Turban soldiers scattered in all directions. There are other rebels near Xuzhou, and it is estimated that they will not be able to get through.

God will take them back, and then they will be even stronger!"

Taishi Ci snorted, clasped his fists and said: "General Liu, anyway, the bandit army blocking the road has dispersed. I suddenly feel that Xuzhou is not the place for me to stay. In addition, Beihai is also very peaceful, so I don't have to worry about my mother. I think

It's time for me to be at ease in the world, please leave today!"

In fact, what Taishi Ci said was just to complain about Zhang Han on purpose! According to his calculation, as soon as he said these words, Liu Bei would of course have to retain him, and then he could tell Zhang Han's bastard deeds, and Zhang Han would

Gotta be punished!

Shouldn't the behavior of slapping a general returning from victory in front of the battle be punished?

After hearing this, Liu Bei was shocked at first, and then thought - I really want you to die, but I have never had the right opportunity to take action! Now you actually want to get out? Well, just get out!

So Liu Bei pretended to be surprised, and then an embarrassed expression appeared on his face: "Since you have this ambition, I won't stop you. Just gallop forward!"

Taishi Ci's eyes widened, almost spitting out blood: "This..." Then he looked at Zhang Han fiercely, as if to say - you are lucky!

Then Taishi Ci turned around fiercely and left the tent very unhappily. In fact, Taishi Ci had not wanted to stay with Liu Bei for a long time. After all, he was a man with great ambitions. A person like Liu Bei, who was small in power and subordinate to others,

It’s really not someone he wants to serve. Now that the words have been spoken today, he might as well leave!

The reality is cold. Taishi Ci can be regarded as having made some contributions to Liu Bei, but when he left the tent, no one saw him off.

...

Tao Qian soon learned the news that Liu Bei's army had defeated the Yellow Turban detachment on the outskirts of Xiapi, and he felt a lot more confident for a while!

Tao Qian thought about it carefully and felt that he was indeed too careful! The number of Yellow Turbans was indeed terrible, but after all, their combat effectiveness was low, and as long as they were defeated for a while, the rest would immediately fall apart!

Thinking of this, Tao Qian no longer hesitated and immediately ordered Zang Ba and Sun Guan to actively guerrilla in the suburbs of Xuzhou. If they encountered the Yellow Turban Army, they would immediately kill them!

Facts have proved that Tao Qian’s analysis was finally correct!

Zang Ba was originally a man who fought extremely bravely. In addition, he was from Shandong, so he was a fellow villager with the rebellious Yellow Turban Army. After several guerrilla harassments, he sent his agents to sneak into the bandit camp to spread [As long as you surrender, the chrysanthemums will be preserved]

After such news, the 200,000 Yellow Turban troops outside Xuzhou soon started rioting!

As the same saying goes, people don’t fight to fight, they fight to live. As long as they can enter Xuzhou, it doesn’t matter whether they enter by killing or living in, as long as they don’t enter sideways, that’s fine!

Seeing that the situation was favorable, Zang Ba and Sun Guan immediately attacked head-on. With only 20,000 cavalry, they killed the 200,000 unwilling rebels and fled! After this battle, at least more than 30,000 Yellow Turban rebels were wiped out, and at the same time, they also

He took in nearly 20,000 women, children, and the elderly! Of course, Tao Qian was very courteous to these people and allowed them to enter Xuzhou. At the same time, he opened a warehouse and distributed food to them!

...

But it is said that Liu Bei first defeated the Yellow Turbans in the north of Xuzhou, and defeated 100,000 Yellow Turbans. The remaining 70,000 Yellow Turbans fled south.

Then Tao Qian defeated the Yellow Turbans in the west of Xuzhou, and defeated 200,000 Yellow Turbans. The remaining 15 Yellow Turbans fled north.

The rebel forces from the south and the north finally gathered together, exchanged information at the same time, and came to the conclusion - you can't go to the north, there are government troops! You can't go to the east, there are also government troops!

In the end, we can’t go south, right? It’s too far away from our hometown in Shandong!

In the end, the 220,000 people gathered together decided to continue walking westward!

Where is the west of Xuzhou? Cao Mengde's Yu and Yanzhous! And Cao Cao has already adopted Bao Xin's suggestion and is now leading an elite division of 50,000 toward the Yellow Turban Army!

"The spies came to report that more than 200,000 Yellow Turban troops have been defeated in two battles in a row. They are now rushing towards us! Passing through countless villages, many new soldiers have been added! It is estimated that their troops have quickly replenished to 300,000!

"Bao Xin said to Cao Cao with an ugly face.

Bao Xin was in a dilemma at this moment. After all, he was the one who gave the idea to annihilate the Yellow Turbans. But at this moment, with a disparity of 1:6 in troops, it would be very difficult to win easily! And Cao Cao understood this truth even more. Before he left the army, Cao Cao had already done so.

He was well prepared for a hard battle, but when it came to reality, the worry about the outcome of the battle still rushed to his head. For a moment, Cao Cao himself was not sure whether he was right or wrong in listening to Bao Xin's advice.

Cao Cao replied with anxious eyes: "Indeed! All the way here, I have been thinking about how to defeat more with less! If it is not absolutely necessary, I do not want to face a direct confrontation. I promised these soldiers that I will give them

Looking for a wife! Hey...what's a good plan?" Cao Cao patted his head and thought hard.

At this time, a person outside the tent burst out laughing. This person wore a high crown on his head, a goat-long beard on his chin, a face as white as jade, and piercing eyes. He was not a small person no matter how you looked at it! Cao Cao was just wondering, after all, when did he take over the tent?

Is there more of this person?

"What's your surname, Ma?" Cao Cao asked in confusion.

When Bao Xin heard this, he quickly helped explain: "Oh! My lord! I forgot to introduce you! This is Xun Yu, a famous scholar in Hanoi! He came to vote for the lord last night, but I found that there were many women in the lord's tent...

.So he didn’t come in! Xun Yu, come here quickly!”

Then, the man outside the tent came in with his chest raised!

Xun Yu was born in the Xun family of Yingchuan, after Xunzi. His grandfather Xun Shu was well-known in the world and was known as the God King. Xun Shu had eight sons, known as the Eight Dragons. Xun Yu's father

Xun Yu once served as the Prime Minister of Jinan, and his uncle Xun Shuang once served as Sikong. Xun Yu was afraid of eunuchs, so he asked Xun Yu to marry the daughter of Tang Heng, the official minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Chang Shi was a thief who brought disaster to the country, and it was not a good thing to be the son-in-law of a national thief. However, because Xun Yu had a reputation for talent when he was young, he was exempted from the ridicule of others. Later, when He Yong, a famous scholar from Nanyang, saw Xun Yu, he was greatly surprised.

, said: "This is Wang Zuo's talent!" It can be seen that Xun Yu's talent is extraordinary!

I really want to cry out for Liu Bei here~ It seems that Cao Cao’s people are recruiting such talents, but Liu Bei’s people~ are all kinds of cheaters, let’s not mention them!

Xun Yu didn't wait for Cao Cao to speak, and said calmly: "Although the rebel army was numerous and fought bravely, they also faced serious difficulties - they were defeated first by Liu Bei and then by Tao Qian, and their morale was already low! The troops still have leaders.

There are a large number of family members, and it is difficult to move, and every attack will definitely cause panic and commotion! At this time, Duke Cao, you have strong soldiers and horses, and it is the time to show off your skills. What should you worry about when you are extremely strong and extremely weak?"

Cao Cao nodded, thinking that this person did have a skill, and his analysis made sense: "That's what you say, and I understand the truth, but... what about the strategy to defeat the enemy? You can't just fight head-on, right?

Even if I win, I still have to lose my family fortune! After all, it’s 1:6!”

Xun Yu laughed: "What's so difficult about this? Now that we have found the opponent's weakness, of course we must take advantage of it! Please avoid direct conflict, and use light cavalry raids and constant harassment! This will slow down their marching speed again! Then we will

Send out negotiators and give money and food! If you agree, you will immediately detach your troops and gather them. If you don’t agree, you will continue to harass! I predict that the rebel army will change over time!"

This plan is definitely in line with Cao Cao's wishes. If it succeeds, it will not waste any soldiers at all! After Cao Cao agreed, he began to arrange the strategy according to Xun Yu's suggestion, and while arranging it, he stroked Xun Yu's butt. It was definitely

Treat the other person as your confidant!

The soldiers were very fast, so the next day, Cao Cao sent Cao Ren and Cao Hong to lead the elite cavalry first!

Cao Ren and Cao Hong led their well-trained cavalry to wait high on the hillside first! When the Yellow Turban Army troops appeared, they gave the order and the whole army attacked! And according to Xun Yu's suggestion, all the horses' helmets were painted

The red color makes it even more cruel!

When looking at the thousands of troops and horses galloping down everywhere, these troops composed of ordinary people felt that the earth was shaking! Seeing the red and black cavalry with the breath of death rushing over with billowing smoke and dust, it seemed that they felt in their hearts

The only thought is - run!

It's a pity that these Yellow Turbans have never seen such a battle. After all, the previous duels outside Xuzhou were basically infantry regiments. At this moment, thousands of cavalry were galloping towards them. The Yellow Turbans were so frightened that their hands and feet were weak, and they didn't even have the motivation to run.

there is none left!

After Cao Ren and Cao Hong commanded the cavalry to charge into the Yellow Turban formation, they did not hesitate to fight. After a while, they walked away, leaving only hundreds of corpses with their eyes open on the ground! Seeing that the enemy had left, the Yellow Turban army hurriedly accelerated.

Marching, hoping to leave this valley area as soon as possible! As soon as the marching speed speeds up, the family members behind can't keep up at all. This just makes the army more out of touch, advancing and waiting, making it even slower than before!

Another day later, Xiahou Dun and Bao Xin suddenly commanded the cavalry to attack again! This time, just like Cao Ren and Cao Hong before, they charged for a while and then retreated again! The Yellow Turban Army was terrified, and everyone was worried about the next wave of attacks.

When will it come!

At this time, Cao Cao's negotiators came to the Yellow Turban Army and made it clear their powerful relationship. They then offered money and food as bait, but the Yellow Turban leaders did not agree! You wouldn't agree with it either, with an army of three hundred thousand.

, Surrender? What a joke!

One day later, Cao Cao personally led the cavalry again! Although the Yellow Turban Army was on guard this time, Cao Cao despicably attacked from behind, and the rear of the army was filled with family members! Suddenly, the 300,000-strong army was in chaos.

Those in the front were worried about their families and rushed to the back to support them with all their lives! Countless soldiers died due to the crush! Cao Cao saw that the brigade was in chaos and immediately withdrew again.

After that, there was an attack almost every two days, at different times and places, and only hundreds or thousands of Yellow Turbans were killed each time. But after the attack, the envoys immediately arrived to discuss surrender!

The movement of the Yellow Turban Army is getting slower and slower. Originally, it only took a few dozen days to march from Xuzhou to Yanzhou, but now it took more than a month to get halfway! In addition, there was a severe shortage of supplies. Now that the march has slowed down, the army has already run out of food.
Chapter completed!
