The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 339 Li Tiao: We will not send troops...but General Yang will come in person.

"Join forces with us to fight against Yuan Shao's army?" Zhang Yan glanced at Li Tiao who said this seriously.

"Are you serious?" Zhang Yan couldn't help but ask Li Tiao, do you know who was the one who came up with Yuan Shao's initiative to retreat to Jie Bridge?

Also, who is spreading certain news that is unfavorable to Yuan Shao in Jizhou? Do you, Li Tiao, know what is going on?
"This yellow scarf can prove that what I said is true." Li Tiao touched the yellow scarf tied around his arm.

Of course Li Tiao knew what Zhang Yan was asking, because before he came out, Xu Shu had already told him everything that might happen.

Although Xu Shu's account may not be complete, it is sufficient for Zhang Yan, because Li Tiao had a yellow scarf tied around his arm to help testify.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Yan took a look at the yellow scarf tied on Li Tiao's arm, and then asked Li Tiao directly about the method of alliance.

For those Yellow Turban leaders who truly believed in General Tian Gong, this yellow turban was the best proof.

To other people in the Han Dynasty, this yellow scarf represented the identity of a rebel.

But for them, this yellow scarf is where their faith lies.

No one who truly believes in the Yellow Turbans would joke about this sacred Yellow Turban.

When Li Tiao heard Zhang Yan's words, he did not answer immediately, but sighed lightly. When Xu Shu came to him, he knew that Zhang Yan would definitely agree.

If for no other reason than the yellow scarf on his shoulders, Zhang Yan's will and awareness as the leader of the Yellow Scarves, and most importantly - Liu Bei's own benevolence and deeds.

In the beginning, the reason why General Tian Gong led the Yellow Turban Rebellion was to allow the most ordinary people at the bottom of society to survive.

Survival was the most essential pursuit of the Yellow Turban Army. The will to survive even shaped the embryonic form of the imperial will.

When Huangfu Song crushed the Yellow Turbans' will, he already knew the essence of this embryonic form of the imperial will.

However, as a Han general, he could not say anything and could only denounce it as Zhang Jue's sorcery.

Huangfu Song knew who Guan Hai, who followed behind Yang Ji, was, and he also knew the identity of Zang Ba, one of the four commanders of the Shield Guards.

However, knowing is one thing, just like he also knew why Zhang Jue launched the massive Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Therefore, apart from the fact that he disliked those two people, Huangfu Song answered all their questions without hesitation.

Unfortunately, apart from Zang Ba who had the audacity to ask Huangfu Song for advice, Guan Hai always went to Yang Ji for advice when he had questions, which made Huangfu Song a little disappointed.

"Let's not talk about the alliance against Yuan Shao for now. I came here to tell you something." Li Tiao waved his hand and did not discuss the alliance matter immediately.

"Tell me first, if I didn't come, do you plan to directly cross the blockade of Yan Liang's troops and go to Licheng or south to Yanzhou?" Li Tiao slowly told him what Xu Shu told him.

When Xu Shu told him this before, Li Tiao didn't believe it. After all, the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans had the advantage of geographical location and could mobilize 400,000 to 500,000 troops, so they could delay the enemy for a while.

With doubt, Li Tiao came to Zhang Yan, and then Li Tiao saw Zhang Yan's will and awareness.

Suddenly, Li Tiao saw the former chief Xuan Gao and commander Guan Hai again.

Only then did Li Tiao truly realize what the calm and indifferent expression on Xu Shu's face meant when he told him these things.

"How do you know?" Zhang Yan blurted out, and then realized that he had not told anyone else his thoughts. He could only look awkwardly at the other leaders who were glaring at him.

"Captain!" Bai Rao shouted in a low voice. He originally thought that Zhang Yan, who had fought against Yan Liang's troops several times, would realize the gap between them and Yuan Shao's army.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan would actually have such an idea. This is simply courting death.

Not only the brothers who crossed the blockade of Yan Liang's troops were sent to die, but also the great leader Zhang Yan.

However, before Bai Rao could vent his anger, a feeling of sadness filled his heart.

After taking a deep look at Zhang Yan who was looking at them with embarrassment on her face, Bai Rao turned his head away and closed his eyes, unable to bear to look any longer.

However, not all Black Mountain and Yellow Turban leaders are as rational as Bai Rao.

Yu Du, the deputy commander of the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans, looked at Zhang Yan with spitting fire in his eyes, wishing he could punch Zhang Yan. How could they hide such a thing from them! ?

Seeing Zhang Yan's embarrassment gradually subsiding, Yu Du's anger also gradually disappeared, and finally ended with a deep sigh.

"Brother Li Tiao has become amazing after reading books. He can even guess what I am thinking." Zhang Yan patted Li Tiao's shoulder with a smile on his face.

He was really relieved that their Yellow Turban Army could produce such a wise man. This made him feel more at ease.

"Chief, you think too much. I'm not the one who guessed your thoughts." Li Tiao shook his head. Although he had read a lot of books with Yang Ji, those books were just storybooks for children's enlightenment.

It’s not that Yang Ji didn’t want to get more in-depth books for Li Tiao, but at this stage, Li Tiao could only sit at the same table with the children in the elementary school.

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Li Tiao continue to say: "Although it was General An Dong who ordered me to come to you, the one who instructed me on various things was An Army Chief Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi." Li Tiao reminded Zhang Yan of Xu Shu's existence.

"I wonder if the Chief Historian of the An Army has anything else to say?" Zhang Yan touched his nose and asked awkwardly.

"Xu Changshi told me that Ju Yi and the vanguard of death squads have already entered Yan Liang's tent. He told you, the leader, not to be so smart as to organize the elite troops to seek death." Li Tiao looked at Zhang Yan and said.

"Hey, Li Tiao--" Yu Du couldn't bear it any longer, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by seeking death?" Yu Du glared at Li Tiao with his eyes wide open.

Li Tiao turned his head and glanced at the other commanders, and sighed secretly. They really didn't notice the existence of Ju Yi and the vanguard of death squads. This was probably the case of ignorance being fearless.

"I just said that Ju Yi and the vanguard of death squads have already arrived. You organized elite troops to carry out attacks or ambushes, but you are just going to give them military merits." Li Tiao said calmly.

"Li Tiao." Zhang Yan's eyes turned cold. "If it weren't for the yellow scarf tied around your shoulders, I would never make sure you could get out of Taihang Mountain!" Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian and other generals also stared at Li Tiao with cold eyes. If Li Tiao said anything nonsense again, they would definitely not make sure Li Tiao could get out of Taihang Mountain.

Only the leader Bai Rao frowned tightly. He always felt that some important information was revealed in Li Tiao's words just now. Bai Rao's intuition told him that this was information about the future survival of the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans.

Faced with the pressure from more than a dozen Black Mountain Yellow Turban leaders, even Li Tiao, an outlier in the Qi training stage, couldn't help but feel a headache. After all, he couldn't be so cruel to his own brothers.

"This is the third time I have mentioned Ju Yi and the vanguard of death soldiers. Can't you guys pay attention to it?" Li Tiao said with a headache, touching his temple.

"Ju Yi? The first to die? What do you mean?" Zhang Yan asked Li Tiao with a frown.

For some reason, he always felt that these two names would have a very important impact on the future of their Black Mountain Yellow Turbans.

Bai Rao, Yu Du and other Black Mountain Yellow Turban leaders were also staring at Li Tiao intently. Their intuition from countless near-death experiences told them that the Ju Yi and the vanguard of death squads that Li Tiao had reminded them of thrice were crucial to the future survival of the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans.

"It's been such a long time since the Battle of Jie Bridge ended. Haven't you taken a closer look at the details of the process?"

Li Tiao did not pay attention to the change in attitude of Zhang Yan and others. If it were him, he might have taken action directly. Instead, he asked them curiously whether they knew the beginning and end of the Battle of Jie Bridge.

Zhang Yan was silent for a long time before he said, "You should also know the intelligence gathering capabilities of our Yellow Turban Army."

When Li Tiao heard Zhang Yan say this, he knew why Zhang Yan and the others had no reaction to Ju Yi and the vanguard of death squads.

"Then let me put it another way. You should know what the most core and powerful army under General Tian Gong is, right?" Li Tiao thought that since he had reminded them to this extent, they should finally understand.

"You mean the Yellow Turban Strongman!?" Zhang Yan's eyes widened and he cried out in horror. He never expected that Li Tiao would actually mention the Yellow Turban Strongman.

The other generals also looked at Li Tiao in shock. They never expected that Li Tiao would actually mention the existence of the Yellow Turban Warriors Legion.

"Yes, that's right. The Xiandeng Death Squad led by Ju Yi is a legion at the same level as the Yellow Turban Warriors." Li Tiao said slowly: "Although I don't know the difference between the two, they are indeed legions of the same level."

"Oh, yes, it was this group of soldiers who defeated the undefeated White Horse Volunteers in the Battle of Jie Bridge.

If the White Horse Volunteers had not advanced to this level of decisive battle troops at the last minute, it is possible that the White Horse Volunteers would have been completely wiped out by Ju Yi and his vanguard of death soldiers. "

When Yang Ji went to Jie Bridge to take over the battlefield, Li Tiao followed behind Yang Ji and witnessed everything that happened with his own eyes.

Zhang Yan, Bai Rao and other Black Mountain Yellow Turban leaders were shocked by Li Tiao's news. Those were two legions of the same level as the Yellow Turban warriors, and yet they appeared on the battlefield.

"If it's a legion of the same level as the Yellow Turban Warriors, we really won't be able to resist it." Zhang Yan said with great difficulty.

If Li Tiao was not lying, the Yan Liang troops stationed here by Yuan Shao might really be able to use a vanguard of death squads to defeat the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans.

Of course, it was only a defeat. After all, the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans had more than a million people. Even if the first group was powerful, could they really overturn the entire Taihang Mountain? That was unrealistic.

Moreover, Yuan Shao wanted the Black Mountain and Yellow Turbans to expand his own army, and it was not in Yuan Shao's interest to wipe out all of the Black Mountain and Yellow Turbans.

If the vanguard death squad was really a legion at the same level as the Yellow Turban warriors, Zhang Yan could not think of any way to stop it.

The poor terrain of Taihang Mountain is not suitable for large-scale military operations. While limiting the cavalry units of Yuan Shao's army, it also limited the military advantage of the Black Mountain and Yellow Turbans.

Just when everyone fell silent, Bai Rao suddenly asked Li Tiao, "Brother Li Tiao, what does the person in Licheng want us, the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans, to do?"

Since Yang Ji sent Li Tiao to communicate with them, it means that Yang Ji already has a plan.

Just because these rough guys couldn't think of a legion of the same level as the Yellow Turban warriors didn't mean that Yang Ji had no way to deal with the vanguard soldiers.

The news that Yang Ji used 100,000 Youzhou infantrymen under Gongsun Zan to forcibly repel Yuan Shao's army at Jie Bridge spread throughout Jizhou.

Li Tiao also said just now that the vanguard of death-defying soldiers led by Ju Yi were elevated to a legion of that level through the collision with the Baima Yicong.

The fact that Yang Ji could make Yuan Shao choose to retreat voluntarily means that Yang Ji had a way to deal with the army of the first-line death squads, or at least he could delay them.

"First of all, the chief and everyone else need to know one thing, and that is that Licheng will not directly send troops to support the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans." Li Tiao calmly relayed what Xu Shu told him.

"Hey, what does Licheng mean? Since they want to join forces with us to fight against Yuan Shao's army, they have to show corresponding strength." Guo Daxian couldn't help but say.

Of course they knew that even without the support of the Black Mountain and Yellow Turbans, Liu Bei had enough strength to defeat Yuan Shao's army and break through the passage between Taihang Mountains and Licheng.

The Black Mountain Yellow Turbans have been blocked here by Yan Liang's troops for so long that they have some understanding of Yan Liang's troops' strength.

Although they were only a small detachment of Yuan Shao's army, without paying a certain price, the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans would not be able to break through the blockade of Yan Liang's troops.

However, it was Yang Ji from Licheng who proposed a joint force to deal with Yan Liang's troops. Why is he now saying that there is no way to directly send troops to support?

"First, I only said that I would not send direct troops to support, but I did not say that I would not send people to support. There is a big difference between the two." Li Tiao looked at Guo Daxian.

"Second, Licheng chose not to send direct military support. I think you should have heard about this." This time, Li Tiao turned his gaze to Zhang Yan again.

In Li Tiao's perception, Zhang Yan's martial arts strength may not be as good as that of Commander Guan Hai and Commander Xuan Gao, but in terms of situation assessment and frontline command, Zhang Yan is much better than those two commanders.

Zhang Yan was silent for a while, then said, "General Zhendong will work with General Baima to encircle Yuan Shao from the north and south."

"Yes, that's right. That's why Licheng cannot directly send troops to support the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans. Otherwise, the confrontation in Hebei will be broken by General Zhendong." Li Tiao nodded, indicating that Zhang Yan was right.

"So what do you mean by alliance?" Zhang Yan asked tentatively.

"General Yang will come to help you break through the blockade of Yan Liang's troops." Li Tiao said.
