The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 59 Still Fire Attack!

"Let's not talk about whether the Yellow Turban Army has a way to distinguish their own family members, just doing this is almost making people want to die. Although there are bravery in the army, who can be the one at the moment?"

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Cao Cao was not annoyed, but his brows were already frowned.

"Moreover, how can they act together when mixed into the Yellow Turbans? Although those Yellow Turbans are ignorant, they still don't know how to do this."

After careful consideration, Wei Tao still thought that if it was midsummer at this time, it would be okay to forcefully attack with fire. As for lurking, it was more like talking on paper.

Cao Cao himself is not a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable. Hearing Wei Tao pointed out his shortcomings, he got up and saluted Wei Tao instead.

"If it wasn't for Ziyu, brother would have missed a big deal!"

"Otherwise, I thought that without elder brother's reminder, we would have no plan to defeat the thief."

Wei Tao also realized that he only thought that it was impossible to defeat the Yellow Turban Army, but it was not impossible to attack the Yellow Turban Army.

"Oh? Dare I ask if the clever plan will come out?"

Liu Bei was also somewhat curious. In fact, Liu Bei had heard of Wei Tao's name.

Wei Tao took the name of filial piety, which was advocated by scholars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so even though Lu Zhi was confronting Zhang Jiao, after meeting Liu Bei, he still mentioned Wei Tao's name and said he was filial piety.

Of course, if this was the case, Liu Bei wouldn't be so curious about Wei Tao.

More importantly, after talking about his filial piety, Lu Zhi said again: Although Wei Ziyu is young, but judging from his actions in the frontier, he can be called a pillar of the future!

Liu Bei has always had great ambitions, and he also knows that Lu Zhi has never praised others casually, so how could he not pay attention?
"As Brother Meng De said, the yellow scarf has a large number of people, and it is threatening the people. As long as it is night, people can get in. Most of the other things are destroyed and killed, but there is only one thing that will not be slaughtered easily, the cattle."

There are rules in the Han Dynasty, and it is not an old cow that cannot be slaughtered.

But in fact, if there is no special reason for the people, even if the cattle are old, they will not slaughter them easily.

Although the Yellow Turban Army also recruited a lot of ruffians, bandits and bandits, it has to be said that the main people are the common people.

"What do you mean Ziyu?"

But for a while, even Cao Cao didn't understand what Wei Tao meant.

"In the old days of the Warring States period, Qi Guotian Shan used more than a thousand oxen at night, tied weapons to the horns, tied reeds to the tails and filled them with oil, lit them with fire, charged at the Yan army, and then rushed to kill the Yan army with [-] warriors, defeating the Yan army. This method is for the Fire Bull Formation."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, and said again, the meaning was clear.

But hearing Wei Tao's words, everyone at the banquet showed strange expressions, even Zhang Fei.

"Hmph! The Fire Bull Formation was lost long after Tian Dan, so many people wanted to imitate the Fire Bull Formation technique, but ended up being injured by the Fire Bull Formation instead. After all, the boy is young, such a strategy is delusional!"

Guan Yu's language was cold, as if he was retaliating against Wei Tao's rudeness to Liu Bei, he just said it bluntly.

"Or do you mean that you have already received Tian Dan's instruction?"

"I don't know about Tian Dan's fire bull formation, but Wei Ziyu's fire bull formation is also unknown to mediocrity."

Although he knew that Guan Yu was arrogant, Wei Tao was still furious when he heard his words, and said back in the same unceremonious manner.

"you……"

Guan Yu didn't open his eyes easily, and when he opened his eyes, he killed people.

But Wei Tao smiled coldly, so what if you are Guan Yu, do you still want to be superior to yourself, even Cao Cao, the peerless hero, should regard himself as his right-hand man,

Seeing Wei Tao like this, Guan Yu was naturally annoyed, but with Liu Bei around, it was not good for him to make a mistake, so he had to ask sharply in the end.

"In that case, what is your plan?"

"If a cow sees fire, it will definitely move in disorder. It is impossible to go straight and kill like an army. Therefore, after Tian Dan, anyone who wants to use the fire bull formation is playing with fire. But if the fire bull formation is not in our How about preparing for battle?"

Wei Tao didn't pay attention to Guan Yu anymore, but looked at Cao Cao and Liu Bei with a smile.

"The Yellow Turban Army has no military discipline, and farming cattle is the root of it. Even if someone wants to forcibly kill a cow, let alone being burned like this, who can stop the mad cow, as long as someone has this heart, he will be killed by others." If it is blocked, it only needs two or three people to act quickly, although it is dangerous, it will not be fatal."

Wei Tao spoke eloquently, and everyone was speechless and irrefutable.

The plan was quickly settled.

Soon an order spread throughout the city: Because the defenders were short of food, they wanted to collect food from the whole city, and the cattle were among them.

Killing cattle and eating meat, as expected, upon hearing the news, there was no need for any law at all, and all the people were terrified and furious.

Then someone said that they wanted to drive their cattle out of the city at night to join the Yellow Turban.

Even an ignorant person would know that such a ridiculous thing cannot be done, so why is the city gate so easy to open?
However, those who ranted said that they had already contacted dozens of guards at the city gate, because the city was about to fall, so they were already preparing to surrender to the Yellow Turban.

It has to be said that ordinary people follow blindly. After seeing that there were indeed people driving cattle out of the city at night, they were all moved by it, and many people immediately followed.

But they didn't know that shortly after they left the city, groups of people gathered behind them, ready to swarm out from the opened city gate at any time.

"The people came here with their oxen? And the city gates are already open? How is this possible?"

Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao, and Bo Cai were all stunned when they heard the news, but soon Zhang Liang smiled and said confidently.

"Sure enough, under the protection of a great virtuous and good teacher, my Yellow Turban orthodoxy will definitely overthrow the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop and establish my Taiping Holy Kingdom. I just defeated those stragglers, and some people took refuge on their own. Sure enough, God bless our country."

Those who spread religion must themselves be extremely religious.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are indeed incompetent, but they also firmly believe in the Yellow Turban Dao's overthrow of the Han Dynasty and the establishment of the Holy Kingdom of Taiping.

"What if the Han army is tricking us? Those people didn't surrender sooner or later. Why did they suddenly surrender at this time?"

On the contrary, although Bocai is also a trustworthy general, he is somewhat suspicious as a general.

"General Bocai, don't doubt it. Not to mention that in the past, when I passed the Dao of Taiping to all directions, all the cities I went to looked forward to the wind and surrendered. Even if it was the Han army pretending to be it. The Han army sent so few people, they still brought cattle and horses. No matter how you think about it, it’s impossible.”

Hearing this, Bocai immediately let go of his suspicions.

After all, there are countless people who surrendered to the Yellow Turban Taoism after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Bo Cai really couldn't think of anything wrong with it.

"Since that's the case, let's gather the elite immediately, and then take this opportunity to go straight to the Changsha and capture the two dog officials, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun!"

"exactly!"

There was no objection when they saw Bo Cai, and Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao also agreed with him.

"I also ask General Bocai to summon my Yellow Turban troops immediately, and capture Changsha before the Han army realizes that all the guarding soldiers have fled."

"promise!"

Bo Cai immediately got up and responded loudly, his originally pale complexion even faintly blushed with excitement.

Just when the three of Zhang Liang mobilized the elite Yellow Turbans to attack Changsha, those who surrendered were also accepted by the Yellow Turbans.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Liang and others to take refuge in such deserters. After all, such things have happened a lot after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

So just randomly dispatch a Yellow Turban squad leader to accept it.

"Not bad."

A captain of the yellow scarf looked at the shiny cows and horses and smiled complacently, but his reluctance to do so disappeared immediately.

But he didn't say much, just drew a circle for all the surrenderers to rest here, and then left.

Although the team leader didn't say anything, just looking at his glowing expression, he knew that he was attracting the attention of these bulls and horses.

Indeed, normally speaking, even in the Yellow Turban, cattle and horses are usually not easily slaughtered, but if it is for the reason of the "three animals" sacrifice, it is naturally reasonable.

Nowadays, the yellow scarves turned into by many people will carry furniture even on the battlefield, but such as these cattle and horses will not be carried.

And if someone comes to vote, these cattle and horses are often eaten up within a few days.

If Wei Tao was the only one planning the plan, this method of 'fire attack' might be the real way of sending sheep to the tiger's mouth, and never return once gone.

But with Liu Bei and Cao Cao's additions, not to mention that they are sure, the possibility of success is [-] to [-]%.

Going out of the city late at night is for this reason, no matter what, it is impossible to kill cattle and eat meat in the middle of the night, and at this time many yellow scarves are already lying down to rest.

There were more than 80 cattle and horses who came here temporarily. Although those yellow scarves divided a place, in fact, as long as they didn't drive the cattle and horses away, they didn't pay much attention to them.

Yellow Turban military discipline has always been like this.

Although there were quite a few commoners involved, since Cao Cao made such a suggestion at that time, he had already prepared dozens of people.

These people nodded secretly to each other, and then drove some of their cattle aside to prevent them from colliding with each other after burning the fire.

And when these people were getting ready in the Yellow Turban camp, Bo Cai also led a team of 3000 people and rushed straight to Changshe.

At this time, the city gates of Changshe were wide open, and from time to time, one or two ordinary people went out to seek refuge in the Yellow Turbans.

"Haha... Sure enough, God bless me to teach, the Han Dynasty is exhausted, even the common people have no heart for it!"

Seeing this, Bo Cai didn't have any doubts, but laughed triumphantly.

"First the people surrendered, and then the soldiers fled. The Han Dynasty has come to an end! The sky is dead, and the yellow sky will be established. The age is Jiazi, and the world is peaceful! For us to wait for the Holy Kingdom of Taiping, kill!"

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky will stand. The year is Jiazi, and the world will be peaceful! Kill!"

In order to ensure the successful capture of the city in one fell swoop, Bocai brought in the most elite group of people, and these people were naturally the most worshiping group of believers.

Under the leadership of Bo Cai, everything rushed towards the gate of Changshe.
