Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

Chapter 81 A Protracted War of Attrition
At this time, Xun Yu looked at Wang Yu and said helplessly: "Tianyi, you are right. You and I both serve the Han court. For the comfort of our Han Dynasty, I, Xun Wenruo, will take over this military advisor."

After hearing Xun Yu's answer, Wang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately put away his sword. He felt sad in his heart. This was half of the task done, but the remaining half would not be easy to do.

Wang Yu knew very well that people like Xun Yu, who were the king's assistants, were still loyal to the court at this time. They would only find another way out when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was over and Liu Hong began his series of magical operations that made people of insight sad.

By supporting other warlords, he aimed to restore the Han Dynasty.

"Military advisor, please take a seat!" After finally getting him into his camp, Wang Yu naturally wanted to show him more grace. At the same time, he said to the generals around him, "You all follow the military advisor's instructions, conserve your energy, and after noon, follow me to the Yellow Turban camp..."

"We will follow the orders of our lord!" everyone said in unison.

At the same time, in the Yellow Turban camp.

Under the leadership of their chief general Xiang Yan, 150,000 Yellow Turban soldiers swept through the entire Yuzhou at a whirlwind speed in just a few months.

It can be said that except for Changsha in front of us, all the land of Yuzhou has fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, and Xiang Yan also fought to support the war. By defeating Zhu Jun's government army, he seized a lot of survival supplies.

At this moment in the Yellow Turban camp, the commander Xiang Yan summoned all the generals to discuss the plan to attack Changsha.

During these days, Xiang Yan came up with many clever strategies in order to lure the Han army in the city out for a decisive battle. However, no matter what method he used, the Han army in the city could cope with it, and sometimes even outmaneuvered him.

This made Xiang Yan realize that there must be an expert in the city giving him advice.

Therefore, Xiang Yan did not use any clever tricks, but instead relied on absolute strength to surround the entire Changsha City, slowly wearing down the Han army's fighting will, and then waiting for an opportunity to break the deadlock.

But this opportunity has never come.

"The general is mighty. He swept across Yuzhou in just a few months. I think the Han general Zhu Jun, who was known as a famous general of the Han Dynasty, is just like him. He is like a clay chicken and a clay dog." At this time, a small general flattered Xiang Yan.

"What General Peng Qu said makes sense. Zhu Jun is just like that. As long as the general gives the order, we will destroy Zhu Jun's army, and then we will rest here and then attack Hulao Pass. After that, we will capture Luoyang and kill the old emperor, and build the peaceful world that the great sage teacher talked about." Xiang Yan's deputy general Bo Cai said.

"Generals, I know how you feel, but remember not to be proud and complacent. After all, there are masters in Changsha City!" Xiang Yan gave everyone a warning.

However, he turned around and said, "But in the face of the general trend, personal ability is not worth mentioning. Let's conserve our energy today. By tomorrow morning, my army of more than 100,000 will be at the gates of the city to fight Zhu Jun to the death."

"Everyone, tomorrow's battle will depend on your performance..."

Xiang Yan also had selfish motives. Although he admired Zhang Jue's character, he also had to consider his own family. Zhang Jue had no son, and once he died, the Yellow Turban Army would be leaderless.

By then, they will become vulnerable in front of the imperial court.

Therefore, before Zhang Jue died, he must have appointed a leader.

To this end, Xiang Yan must increase his influence in the army and raise the bargaining chips for his grandson Xiang Yu. Therefore, he must get the great achievement of conquering Yuzhou, the first state of the Han Dynasty.

"How dare you not die!"

Hearing Xiang Yan say this, Bo Cai, Peng Tuo and others immediately responded. ………

"Report... General, something terrible has happened. The government army's reinforcements have arrived!"

Just when everyone was excited about the future, a lieutenant suddenly ran in from outside and reported to Xiang Yan.

"Have the government troops' reinforcements arrived?"

Xiang Yan was shocked and quickly stood up from the bed, his face full of disbelief. After all, the famous generals of the Han Dynasty were now besieged by the Yellow Turban Army in various places, so how could the Han Dynasty have any extra reinforcements!
"How many people are there in the Han reinforcements and who is leading them?" Xiang Yan asked immediately.

"General, the Han army has about 2,000 to 3,000 soldiers. The word 'king' is written on the battle flag, and the camp's name is Tianyi Camp."

"Wang? Tianyi Camp? The Han Dynasty has this camp name?" Xiang Yan had a look of doubt on his face. As a descendant of the Xiang family, he had a certain understanding of the military camps and commanders of various parties in the Han Dynasty, but he had never heard of this camp name!
"Wait, what did you say just now? There were only two or three thousand troops. This unjust and incompetent monarch actually only sent a few thousand troops to support the Han army that was besieged by hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans. It's really ridiculous!" Xiang Yan said coldly.

"Hahaha……"

Bo Cai, Peng Tuo and others burst into laughter when they heard this. They also felt that such a court was really incompetent. There were hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops here, but the emperor actually sent a few thousand people to support them. It was really stupid.

"General, I would like to lead an army of 5,000 to destroy the reinforcements. It will be our appetizer for today." Deputy General Bo Cai said proudly.

However, at this moment, the lieutenant colonel who had just entered hurriedly said: "General, this is not an infantry, but a cavalry, more than 2,000 cavalry!"

"What, more than two thousand cavalrymen!" Even Xiang Yan was shocked when he heard this.

……

On the other side, on the city wall of Changsha.

In this life, the arrival of Wei Xiaokuan, Wang Gui and others gave the Han army some confidence, so that when they faced the Yellow Turban Army's siege again, they were not as miserable as in the previous life!

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty now, even when surrounded by the Yellow Turban army, still look heroic and high-spirited.

At this moment, the famous Han general, General Zhu Jun, and the Yuzhou Governor Wang Yun were already extremely worried as they looked at the densely packed Yellow Turban tents below.

Zhu Jun had a lot of men under his command. When Emperor Ling of Han divided the Han army into three routes, he already had 80,000 elite troops.

However, because he underestimated the Yellow Turban general Xiang Yan, he was outwitted by Xiang Yan, and his 80,000 elite troops were almost surrounded. In the end, only over 30,000 people escaped.

After learning that the three major battlefields were in crisis, Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, assigned 70,000 of the 200,000 troops who had been trained for two months but had never been on the battlefield to Zhu Jun.

At this point, the number of troops under Zhu Jun's command had reached 100,000!
But at this time, the Yellow Turban Army already had its own intelligence system. When Xiang Yan learned that the court had added another 70,000 troops to Zhu Jun, he immediately changed his strategy.

That will be a protracted war of attrition!
