The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 58 Fire Attack?

The general trend of history is really not easy to reverse.

When all the Han troops retreated into Changshe City, Wei Tao discovered that there were only a few hundred people directly attacking Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's rear troops.

This is not what surprised Wei Tao, what really surprised Wei Tao was the peculiar appearance of those three people.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, after some introductions, it was indeed these three people.

"It would be fine to say that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei knew each other in Zhuojun County, but Guan Yu should have met by chance, and now they have become brothers. Could it be that there is a destiny in the dark?"

Wei Tao was very suspicious, but naturally it was impossible to ask about such things.

In the battle just now, if Liu Bei and the other three had not led the army to fight out from behind, I am afraid that Wei Tao and others would not have been able to escape from the Yellow Turban Army so easily.

However, even in that struggle, the Yellow Turban Army did not suffer many casualties. After Wei Tao and others retreated into the Changsha, the Yellow Turban Army vaguely surrounded the Changsha.

"It was thanks to Xuande. If Xuande hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that more than half of our army would have been killed or wounded by the Yellow Turbans. The Yellow Turbans' vicious deeds are so utterly hateful and annoying."

After the report, Cao Cao said to Liu Bei, but his tone was extremely gentle.

"But I don't know how Xuande can arrive in such a timely manner. Could it be that it is the blessing of the big man?"

But Cao Cao was also suspicious.

"Perhaps so, I originally studied under Lu Zhonglang, originally I voted for him. Lu Zhonglang said that although the situation with Zhang Jiao was unfavorable, they were at a stalemate. Let me come to help the two generals Huangfusong and Zhu Jun first, and then the two generals. Let's work together to strike Zhangjiao to achieve success."

Liu Bei spoke eloquently, with sincerity in his words, even if Wei Tao paid attention deliberately, there was no trace of hypocrisy.

"When I arrived in Yuzhou, I heard about the accidents of the two generals Huangfusong and Zhu Jun who were defeated one after another and rushed to rescue them. Unfortunately, they encountered yellow scarves along the way, but they couldn't catch up. Seeing countless actions of the Yellow Turbans, I knew that there must be Han soldiers trapped by them, so I did my best to save them."

Said it was a coincidence, but Wei Tao also believed it.

After all, Wei Tao also noticed that the army led by Liu Bei was also exhausted after the incident.

Obviously Liu Bei has been chasing the Yellow Turban Army, and rushed into the battlefield after discovering that the Han Army was trapped.

But obviously there is still one thing, Wei Tao is very puzzled.

"Dare to ask Xuande, since Lu Zhonglang asked Xuande to come to help, why didn't he give Xuande an official position? It's not like helping Xuande?"

Hearing that Wei Tao, a young man, dared to call Liu Bei Biao directly, Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei stared at him viciously. Although Guan Yu closed his eyes lightly, his glances from time to time were not very friendly.

But who is Wei Tao, and why is he afraid of these things?
Not to mention that Liu Bei and others have not yet risen, even if they rise, so what, Wei Tao's strength will be inferior to him by then?

"Young Master Wei doesn't know that Zhangjiao is rampant in Jizhou. Even Lu Zhonglang can only stand in a stalemate with it, and he can't distinguish the slightest soldier, so he can only let me lead the soldiers from the army."

I have to say that Liu Bei's temper is very good, at least on the surface, he is so 'rude' to Wei Tao that he doesn't show any emotion at all.

"As for the official position, although Lu Zhonglang is my teacher, how can the official position of the court be given and accepted privately?"

"What Xuande said is very true, but Tao is being reckless."

Wei Tao really didn't expect this to change.

Wei Tao doesn't know the historical truth, but he vaguely remembers that when Liu Bei arrived at Changsha, it seemed that the battle of Changsha was over, not to mention being trapped in Changsha like it is now.

"How are the two generals Huangfusong and Zhu Jun doing now? Why haven't they shown up?"

After the narration, Liu Bei naturally wanted to ask about the situation of the two generals.

"Xuande is not an outsider. Now the two generals are seriously injured. It is difficult for the army to practice medicine. I am afraid they need to return to Luoyang to take care of them."

When Huangfusong was mentioned, Cao Cao's complexion darkened immediately, he hesitated for a while before speaking.

"But now that the Yellow Turban is besieging the city, and the Yellow Turban is not afraid of life and death, if they really want to take this city, I am afraid that the Changsha will not be able to protect it, let alone send the two generals back to Luoyang to recuperate."

"This……"

Hearing this, Liu Bei also had a look of embarrassment on his face.

It is true that whether it is Liu Bei or Cao Cao, they are all heroes of a generation, but in the face of the tactics of the Yellow Turbans, it is extremely difficult to ensure that they can break through, let alone leave with seriously injured people.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao were helpless, and neither was Wei Tao.

Indeed, Wei Tao knew that Huangfusong and Zhu Jun were also trapped in Changshe in history.

At that time, the Yellow Turban Army formed a camp of weeds because they did not know how to fight. As a result, Huang Fusong and his two attacked them with fire, and they were defeated in one fell swoop.

But it is a pity that in the history of doing this, it has already reached the height of summer, when the sky is dry and things are dry, and fire attacks are feasible.

But now it's only the end of March. Although the Yellow Turban Army is also camping on the grass, it is the end of spring, and the method of attacking with fire is not easy.

Wei Tao also fell into silence for a moment.

How to break the Yellow Turban?
While everyone in Changshe City was thinking about it, the Yellow Turban camp outside the city was also thinking about how to destroy Changshe.

"I don't know if the walls of Changshe City are so thick, but General Bocai can break through them?"

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao had already resumed their makeup at this time, but Bocai felt a little grudge in his heart when he thought that they fled before the battle not long ago and lost without fighting.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were not all idiots, so they naturally noticed this.

However, the Yellow Turban has no generals, and this wave of talents is already a rare leader, so even Zhang and Liang have to talk to each other at this time.

"General Bocai and I were indeed wrong, but we also contributed to my Yellow Turban Dao. Everyone in the Yellow Turban Dao is brothers and sisters. Now for my Yellow Turban cause, I need to destroy the Changsha as soon as possible, and then force Luoyang within a few months. .In order to achieve great success, my brother did not hesitate to risk his life to attract the imperial army in Jizhou, and now I ask the general not to care about my brother's painstaking efforts for the people."

Hearing Zhang Liang mention Zhang Jiao, the little resentment in Na Bocai's heart also dissipated.

Like many Yellow Turbans, Bocai respected Zhang Jiao very much.

"The plan for now is to encircle the Changsha with soldiers and attack day and night. The Holy Army of my teaching is indeed not strong enough, but with all the will, a mere Changshe City will definitely be able to fall."

It's a pity that although Bo Cai is a good general, he also has no good solution, but compared with Zhang Liang and Zhang Liang, Bo Cai obviously thinks more.

"Moreover, we can still release the news that Huangfusong and Zhu Jun are trapped here. We will destroy the city and kill them in a few days, so that the officials of Yuzhou have to come to the rescue. Huangfusong will be destroyed by then. The two thieves can even defeat the Han army in Yuzhou in one fell swoop, so I can teach great things to happen!"

"Great trick!"

Bocai's plan to surround the spot was a good plan, which was immediately appreciated by Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao.

Don't look at the Yellow Turban Army as if it has been holding Wei Tao helplessly, but in fact the current Yellow Turban Army is not weak in addition to lack of discipline.

The prestige of Huangfusong and Zhu Jun did cause some big Han officials to send people to rescue them, but they were destroyed by the Yellow Turbans, and even the guarded city was lost.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and no news from the outside world has been able to penetrate the Changsha.

"I didn't expect the Yellow Turban to use this method of encircling instead of attacking to help. I still underestimate the Yellow Turban."

Although I don't know the outside news, but just looking at the Yellow Turbans only showing off their power outside the city, but never attacking the city, Cao Cao and others can understand what the Yellow Turbans are doing.

"Hmph! If it's according to what I said, it's time to rush out. What's so great about those yellow scarves, I can knock him down with just a few hits!"

It was Zhang Fei who said so at this time.

Speaking of this period of time, Wei Tao also learned about the personalities of Liu Bei and the other three.

Except for Liu Bei who doesn't know whether he is kind by nature or pretending to be hypocritical, the temperament of the other two is similar to the legend.

"Yide, you can't do this. If I can break through, I will naturally do so."

Liu Bei was the only one who could convince Zhang Fei. After training Zhang Fei, Liu Bei turned to Cao Cao and said.

"General Huangfu and General Zhu are still not able to get up now? If they are not there, I am afraid that apart from the soldiers and horses of our headquarters, we will have nothing to do."

There are more than 1 troops in Changshe City, but in fact, more than half of them belong to Huangfusong and Zhu Jun's subordinates.

Before entering Changsha, they were willing to obey Cao Cao's orders and work hard, but now, if Huangfusong and Zhu Jun hadn't personally commanded them, the various soldiers would not obey orders at all.

"Xuande is not in a hurry. Although the Yellow Turban is a capable person to use this strategy to attack and help, I have already found a way to break it after a few days."

Cao Cao smiled slightly, but said quite complacently.

"The yellow turban built a camp on the grass, but it didn't know how to send troops. If it was attacked with fire, it would be broken."

"Brother Mengde, I have also thought about the plan of attacking with fire, but at the turn of spring and summer, there will be plenty of rain, and the vegetation contains spring and is not easy to ignite fire. Although the yellow scarf is built on the grass, it has already surrounded the entire Changsha. , unless dozens of places are on fire, otherwise, with the current situation of the Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid it is impossible to collapse in one fell swoop."

Although he knew the history, but the history was different, but Wei Tao also spent his mind on it.

"Could it be that there is still a way."

"That's right, that's true, but what if we sneak into the Yellow Turbans? The Yellow Turbans are powerful, but how can we tell each other apart?"

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it carefully.

Wei Tao just remembered that in history, it was Huangfusong who burned down the wave of the army, but he didn't think about what Huangfusong did at that time?

According to what Wei Tao sees now, it is indeed impossible to send people to attack and set fire while they are not prepared, but it will be different if they send people to lurk into the Yellow Turban.

But Wei Tao is Wei Tao after all, even if it is Cao Cao's idea, it is impossible for him to be convinced, and then he shakes his head when he thinks carefully.

"Brother, after thinking about it carefully, I think there is something wrong with this plan."
