Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 223 Turning Against the Wind!

Luoyang, the imperial palace.

The sky began to snow heavily, and because of Nanyang's great victory, the entire palace was filled with joy.

But at this moment.

A small yellow door quickly arrived at a side hall in the palace, and whispered in Zhang Rang's ear, Zhang Rang was so scared that he peed.

With a miserable expression on his face, he grabbed the little yellow door's clothes, "Really... Seriously?"

"Really!" Xiao Huangmen was about to cry.

Zhang Rang was out of his wits, he hesitated again and again, and finally... rushed to the Deyang Palace in the North Palace.

In the Deyang Palace, there was a festive...

The great victory of Nanyang Changshe, and the capture of "Zhang Mancheng", the envoy of the Taiping Dao in one fell swoop, undoubtedly gave the imperial court and all the officials a shot in the arm.

On the contrary, Yuan Shao and a few other officials... all their calculations were in vain.

Yuan Shao also hoped that Nanyang would be able to hold on to the stalemate. It would be best to let no one know... let Zhu Jun's entire army be wiped out, and then... Lu Zhi can support himself and continue to grow his army. This will affect the future situation. A great help.

But... now...

"Alas..." Yuan Shao was smiling, but his heart was already surging, feeling uncomfortable!
At this time, no matter what the purpose was, all the officials in the Deyang Hall had smiles on their faces, as if... the mighty Yellow Turban Army was nothing more than that.

Never thought... At this moment, Zhang Rang broke into it quickly, and he knelt down with a "click".

"Your Majesty, urgent mail...Jizhou urgent mail!"

Looking at Zhang Rang's expression, Liu Hong guessed something, frowned and said: "All the ministers are in the hall, you can just speak up..."

Zhang Rang cried, "Your Majesty, I have just received an urgent message. Jizhou... General Huangfu's troops were... besieged in Quyang City. An army of more than [-] moth thieves surrounded Quyang. The way to cut off the supplies of the reinforcements is... they want to trap General Huangfu to death!"

actually…

Huangfusong was not from an eunuch, even... Zhang Rang hated Huangfusong deeply.

But... a relationship is one thing, a situation is another.

The yellow scarves are everywhere, and the most troublesome one is Jizhou, where Zhang Jiao is located. However, the victory in Nanyang, no matter how brilliant it is...it is only a local battlefield and does not help the overall situation.

But...if Huangfu Song, whom the Son of Heaven worshiped personally, died in the hands of Zhang Jiao in Jizhou, then the officers and soldiers would collapse in an instant. This would be a major event that would shake the foundation of the great man.

There are no big men, can they still have a good life as their ten regular servants?
As soon as this statement comes out…

The emperor Liu Hong was dumbfounded, and so were all the officials. No one expected... Huangfusong, who had made great strides all the way to regain half of Jizhou's territory, would be besieged in Quyang City...

Taiwei Qiaoxuan was in charge of the military affairs of the Great Han, and he asked sharply, "It can be mentioned in the urgent letter, how long can the general last?"

Zhang Rang said tremblingly, "Three days have passed since the letter arrived... and as mentioned in the letter, none of General Huangfu's supplies have entered Quyang City, and the food and grass brought by the army can last for five days... "

— five days!
Liu Hong stood up suddenly, his pupils were round and huge, "Five days? That is to say, in two more days, the general's soldiers and horses will die without a fight!"

Qiao Xuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, calm down, according to what I see, General Huangfu is a general whom His Majesty personally worshiped on the altar, he will definitely not sit still!"

"The food is gone! What else can he do?" Liu Hong asked immediately...

Long Yan was furious...

No one knows better than him that the battlefield in Jizhou is related to the current situation in the world, and the battlefield in Jizhou...cannot be lost.

"Your Majesty..." Yuan Shao took a step forward, and he keenly grasped a glimmer of opportunity: "The most urgent thing is to dispatch troops from Nanyang to help Jizhou. General Zhu Zhonglang has just won a great victory, and the soldiers are bound to be exhausted. It is not easy to march long distances. Lu Zhonglang He will stay with the enemy for many days, and there is no fierce battle... Now that his strength is complete, he will go to the rescue of General Huangfu to ensure that the Jizhou battlefield will not collapse and collapse!"

Yuan Shao is based on rational analysis...

But in fact, he knew that it would be impossible for Lu Zhi's troops to arrive in Jizhou in two days, well, even in twenty days.

And at that time... Lu Zhi could still follow their original plan, raise his own self-respect, make himself bigger as much as possible... accumulate strength!
Many party members who were released have been reconsidered again and again...

Emperor Liu Hong also nodded helplessly. This is the only way to make up for it, but...it's just a pity that Huangfusong's tens of thousands of soldiers...pity, pity!

At this moment, Liu Hong felt a pain in his flesh!
"According to Yuan Xiaowei's words, Shangshutai drafted, ordered Zhonglang to send Lu Zhi to the north...to disperse...to disperse the court..."

Liu Hong's tone was filled with a great sense of loneliness and helplessness.

The ministers dispersed...

Only Xun Yu stayed behind.

Liu Hong also noticed him, and Liu Hong walked down the steps... "Xunqing, do you have something to say to me?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes." Xun Yu pondered for a moment before opening his mouth, "Does Your Majesty know who is the logistics officer for General Huangfu this time?"

"Who?"

"Yulin Liulang's sworn elder brother——Cao Cao!"

Xun Yu's words blurted out, Liu Hong was slightly taken aback, "He is the son of Cao Dasi's farm family, he..."

Subconsciously, Liu Hong felt that Cao Cao's role as a logistics officer seemed to be of no help to the overall situation.

But Xun Yu's words continued, "Your Majesty, before Cao Mengde's expedition, the minister and Yulin Liulang gave him a letter, which contains the content, which has a solution to this crisis!"

Huo…

Xun Yu's words revived Liu Hong.

His eyeballs blinked for a moment, and immediately...a brilliant light flickered in them.

He doesn't believe in Cao Cao, but he absolutely believes in... his Yu'er!

Since Da Yu'er appeared, he has never let himself down!
"Xunqing..." Liu Hong patted Xun Yu's shoulder, "Today, I'm the one who listens to your words most comfortably!"

...

...

Upstairs in Quyang City.

Huangfusong gathered all the generals and pointed to the mighty yellow scarf soldiers under the city tower...

He shouted: "Look, the formation of these moth thieves is chaotic. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of them, they are still a mess. Such an enemy will collapse at the first touch. What are you afraid of?"

"Hehe, the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army don't even know how to fight at all. Is there such a garrison and camp? The number of soldiers is overwhelming, and they camp close to the grassland and woods. This is a major highlight of the attack!"

Huangfusong was skilled at leading the soldiers. He saw the fear of the soldiers when they were besieged.

And Huangfusong talked about the food in the city in an orderly manner... he proposed that it would be enough for two months, and he never skimped on the distribution of food. Undoubtedly... these made the soldiers even more confident.

But only Huangfu Jianshou knew...

This is what my father is forcibly insisting on. Under the current situation, as long as anyone shows the slightest timidity, it will be useless.

"Father…"

After all the soldiers retreated, only the father and son Huangfu Song and Huangfu Jianshou were left on the tower, along with... and a few personal guards.

"There is only enough food for two days..."

Huangfu Jianshou lowered his voice as much as possible...

call…

After removing all the camouflage, Huangfusong sighed, squinting his eyes... staring at the hundreds of thousands of yellow scarf sergeants outside the city, he pondered for a long time, and finally said with emotion: "If, if the father outside the city can arrange in advance One soldier and horse don't need too many, 1000 people are enough, then...you can set fire to the forest, causing chaos among the enemy, when the time comes..."

Huangfusong didn't finish his speech...

Because he knows that all these are beautiful yearnings and visions.

"Ugh…"

Huangfu Song sighed again.

Huangfu Jianshou said: "Father, outside our city... there is still an army!"

Well…

Huangfu's words of longevity made Huangfusong raise his head suddenly, but only for a moment, Huangfusong shook his head again, "Are you talking about cavalry captain Cao Cao? It's a pity..."

Huangfusong said with emotion: "An army transporting grain, how could he give up the grain and grass to surprise the enemy! What's more... at this time, what courage and ambition are needed to set fire to the camp, this Cao Cao...he..."

"Father, don't forget." Huangfu Jianshou reminded: "He is Yulin Liulang's big brother, Yulin Liulang... so powerful, someone he can call big brother must have some ability!"

This…

Haha... Huangfusong smiled slightly, "Cao Cao, the adopted grandson of an eunuch, it's better not to place too much hope on him!"

hit from the beginning;

Since Cao Song wanted to give gifts to Huangfu Song;
It started from the debate between Cao Cao and Huangfusong on the merits of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Wu Zi's Art of War"...

Huangfusong just looked down on this kid!

But I have to say that in some places, this kid really surprised Huangfusong.

only…

now…

Ha ha!

...

...

——"Pass my military order, act tonight!"

Cao Cao made a difficult decision in the logistics army.

Qu Yang cannot be saved...

Baggage, food and grass must also be secured, so... there is only one way left.

Cao Cao divided the logistics army of more than [-] people into two parts. Seven hundred old, weak and remnant soldiers guarded the food, grass and luggage... The remaining three hundred formed cavalry, each equipped with arrows and long arrows.

"Captain Cao Cavalry...the moth thief has more than [-] people! We only have [-]..."

A lieutenant raised a question.

Cao Cao touched his chest. Through the armor, there was a letter from Liu Yu hidden in his chest...

The word "guerrilla" seemed to be deeply embedded in his heart.

"The Mothie has 100,000 people..." Cao Cao explained, "But there are so many Mothieves, but they can't get ten horses. All the county horses are in the hands of our officers and soldiers!"

"No matter how fast they run, they can't run as fast as our horses, and no matter how many of them there are, they can't resist our riding and shooting..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao sent someone to fetch the stirrups.

"This is the stirrup I ordered someone to forge. There are only three hundred...Many soldiers have tried it before. With this stirrup, people, horses, and bows are three in one. Bending bows on horses is like building on flat ground, and we... want to What you are doing is not annihilating the enemy, but harassing the enemy, pulling, and exhausting these moth thieves!"

Cao Cao pointed to the simple map on the table, and he pointed to the circle in the middle, "Did you see that? The people in the middle are all the moth thief's family and children, and these are the people we are going to raid... There is no need to fight hard, and we don't even need them." We just need to confuse them and let them run around for their lives... As long as the enemy's formation is in chaos, then... General Huangfu will lead his troops to fight out, and we should cooperate from inside to outside. This victory belongs to us!"

This is the first time Cao Cao has had such close contact with the battlefield.

There are too many things he doesn't understand... There are too many things that are young, and even... even in the process of mobilization, he has stumbled many times.

but…

Because of the stirrups, because of the "guerrilla and pull" tactics, because the family members of the enemy were raided, and the so-called cooperation from the inside and the outside...

Cao Cao and Chen Gong persuaded these 300 people.

They are willing to accompany Cao Cao to fight...

That night…

The strong wind blew up, and the Yellow Turbans stayed overnight by the woods in the south of the city. They were very patient. They knew that there was a gap between their combat effectiveness and the officers and soldiers. The food and grass destroyed the morale of the officers and soldiers.

only…

In any case, they never thought that outside the city... there was an army of 300 people lurking and approaching.

this night...

Cao Cao's [-] warriors only ate raw rice and drank cold water... no fire was allowed, people held a piece of food, and horses bound their hoofs... to ensure that they could approach the enemy quietly.

Every cavalry is fully equipped with bows and arrows, and the horses are ready, and the men and horses are not separated.

Cao Cao looked at the night, and when it was three o'clock, he immediately gave an order...

Three hundred soldiers got on their horses and rushed to the Yellow Turban camp!

With the sound of "da da da" horseshoes, Cao Cao's instructions still echoed in the ears of every knight.

——"Listen well, this time it's just a sneak attack. Before the moth thief responds and organizes a counterattack, everyone evacuates and must not love to fight... Those who violate the order will be punished according to military law."

"Da da da…"

The sound of horseshoes continued to resound on the plain.

"The enemy attacked, it was officers and soldiers... it was officers and soldiers!"

The yellow turban soldiers on watch shouted, they shouted hoarsely, trying to wake up the strong men who were sleeping.

But...the Yellow Turban Army is different from the officers and soldiers. When they sleep, they look for their family members. They sleep with their wives and children warm on the kang. Even if they hear the sound of enemy attacks, the speed of assembly... can be described as "turtle speed".

On the other hand...Cao Cao...the three hundred knights led by him whizzed past like a whirlwind... Before the Yellow Turban Army could react, countless arrows whizzed out, shooting and killing a bunch of thieves recklessly!
"Assembly...Assembly...Counterattack, counterattack!"

In less than half an hour, the Yellow Turban Army assembled...

But... when they organized soldiers and horses to fight back, they suddenly found that those officers and soldiers had disappeared without a trace, leaving only wailing all over the place!
"Made!"

"Did you run away?"

"Coward!"

Looking at the dust and smoke surging up from the road in the darkness, the yellow scarf sergeant who finally woke up from his sleep cursed and comforted the frightened old and young women and children, where should he go to rest, and where did he return to rest.

never thought...

On Cao Cao's side, each knight changed a horse and replenished enough arrows. Here they come...they come...they come again!

"what…"

"Enemy attack...Enemy attack!"

"stand up…"

"Wow~"

Following bursts of wailing, the strong men in the Yellow Turban Army tried their best to open their eyes, and when they assembled again with their exhausted bodies, but... the horses of the officers and soldiers disappeared without a trace again, leaving only the soldiers in the camp A pile of corpses!
"you…"

"I wish you all..."

"Don't run away if you have the ability!"

There was a roar, and under the reflection of the moonlight, there were many screams... like an incompetent roar!
And this logistics army, under the leadership of Cao Cao...

It's going to be turned against the wind!
