Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 85 Entering Yuzhou
"Okay! I asked you to come here to discuss matters, not to make noise." Li Song stopped them from arguing.

Looking at Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Liu Bowen, and Xu Maogong, Li Song asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

When everyone heard the words, they looked at the four people one after another, wondering what they could say.

"My lord! Before I answer, I want to know, what is your opinion on this matter? Please let me know, my lord." Liu Bowen stood up and said.

"Military commander, you don't need to talk about it! I, Li Song, as the minister of the emperor, the state shepherd and general Zuo of the Han Dynasty, naturally want to be loyal to the emperor." Li Song said righteously.

After Li Song said, at this time, Xun Yu's thoughts on Li Song changed a little, and he suddenly felt that Li Song might be another candidate to help the Han family.

"It turned out to be so. I suggest that my lord welcome the emperor so that he will not be a minister! As for Luoyang, it is not suitable for the emperor to live in. It is better to temporarily move the capital to Xu County." Xu Maogong also stood up and said at this time.

"Brother Maogong, you said it very well!" Liu Bowen laughed.

"Mr. Wen Ruo! What do you think?" Li Song smiled slightly, turned to look at Xun Yu and asked.

Xun Yu stood up and said, "Xun Yu also agrees with your lord's decision to welcome the emperor."

"My lord! When will we set off to meet the emperor?" Everyone saw that Li Song had already made a decision, so Pei Yuanqing asked.

"Before that, we must deal with the Yellow Turban thieves entrenched in Runan and Yingchuan, lest they jump out and make trouble when our army is welcoming the emperor."

"After our army has dealt with the Yellow Turban bandits in Yuzhou, it won't be too late for our army to meet the emperor," Li Song said.

Li Song wanted to deal with these Yellow Turbans not just for this reason, but because he planned to use these weak Yellow Turbans to train the newly recruited soldiers.

After all, recruits who have never been to the battlefield can only be recruits forever, not to mention, what is more justifiable than suppressing bandits.

What's more, try to let Li Jue and Guo Si weaken each other's strength as much as possible. In this way, it will be much easier to make them obedient.

"Xiang Yu, I order you to command [-] new recruits as the main forward, to attack Yuzhou, and wipe out the Yellow Turban thieves entrenched in this state."

"Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Luo Cheng, the three of you will assist Xiang Yu as lieutenants and wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits. I will personally lead the troops to fight for you. If you have nothing to do, you can retreat! Three days later, send troops to Yuzhou." Li Song said , The reason why it takes three days is because it takes time to send troops, prepare food and grass and other matters.

"No!" Everyone said in command, bowed and retreated.

In the autumn of the second year of Xingping, Li Song sent troops to Yuzhou to wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits occupying the two counties of Runan and Yingchuan.

The spies flew on horseback to report that the Yellow Turban bandits were in Xu County, thirty miles away from the army, with [-] soldiers. When the spies found the bandit army, the bandit army also found the army. The [-] army led by him is coming towards the army.

"Pass down the order, our army will line up here, wait for the bandit army, and send spies to find out the bandit army's itinerary, and let the generals get ready for battle." Riding on the horse, Li Song turned to look at the people beside him The messenger said.

"Promise!" The messenger responded, turned his horse's head, and galloped away to convey Li Song's order. Soon, several fast horses rushed out from the army, headed towards Xu County, and disappeared from everyone's sight middle.

"Report!...The bandit army is still twenty miles away from our army..."

"Report!...The bandit army is still fifteen miles away from our army..."

"Report!...The bandit army is less than one mile away from our army..."

The spies dispatched flew to report one after another. While talking, they saw dust flying in the distance, and the bandit army came not far from the main army, forming an array and preparing to attack.

Li Song watched the bandit army line up quickly, and then stepped forward to kill our army. He knew that this band of bandit army was also a seasoned fighter.

It's no wonder why the Runan and Yingchuan counties were occupied by the Yellow Turbans for several years, but the local officials and wealthy families had nothing to do with them.

Li Song had once fought against the private armed forces of the wealthy clan, so he naturally knew that these private soldiers of the wealthy clan were really powerful. Ordinary thieves were no match for them at all, but these thieves could occupy the county town.

The local officials and wealthy families are helpless. On the other hand, it is enough to prove their strength, but most of them are recruits on his side. I am afraid that this battle will not be easy to fight!From the beginning to the end, Li Song didn't think he would lose this battle.

"Order! Our main formation is empty, showing the enemy's weakness, laying down heavy troops on the flanks, in order to lure the enemy into deep, encircling the two sides, the cavalry took the opportunity to enter from the weak point of the enemy's army, and intercepted them at the waist, so that the enemy's head and tail could not look at each other. " Li Song ordered solemnly, and the messenger turned around to send the order.

"Dingfang, you lead the Xuanjia army to attack behind the bandit army. When the bandit army is cut off, you immediately lead the Xuanjia army to kill from behind the enemy army." Li Song said to Su Dingfang who was beside him. Cao Cao had tiger and leopard cavalry. , Li Song has the Xuanjia Army, which is a cavalry unit directly under the Xuanjia Army modeled on Tang Taizong Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army.

"No!" Su Dingfang replied, turned around and led the Xuanjia army to detour to set up an ambush behind the bandit army, waited for the opportunity, and defeated it in one fell swoop.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!" The horn of the charge sounded in Li Song's army formation, and they rushed straight into the sky. The army stepped forward and killed the enemy in front of them. The two armies collided with each other. Then I found that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were worse than the previous ones, especially the central army of the officers and soldiers was even more empty.

The two looked at each other, and they, who had been through battles for a long time, naturally would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Command! The left and right armies go up and break the enemy's main formation. Those who fight against the enemy's leader will be rewarded!" Liu Pi said to the soldiers around him, and the soldiers left immediately to convey his order. Quickly head towards the enemy's main formation.

"Report! Report to my lord! The enemy army is coming towards our army's central army, pointing to the depth of our army's position." The messenger flew to report.

"Okay! Send an order! The two wings of the army immediately encircled and wiped out this group of bandits. The cavalry waited for the opportunity to cut off the bandits." Li Song stared at the battle in front of him without moving his eyes, and ordered.

The messenger galloped away, and the troops lying in ambush on the two wings, after receiving the order, quickly formed a siege around the bandit army and quickly devoured the bandit army. Cut off so that the thieves can't look at each other head to tail.

Su Dingfang's commander, Xuanjia Army, took the opportunity to rush out from behind the bandit army. He was caught off guard and was beaten to pieces. Liu Pi and Huang Shao were shocked when they saw this!Seeing that the general situation was over, Liu Pi turned his horse's head and fled for his life. Unwilling, Huang Shao led his troops to kill Luo Cheng alone.

While Liu Pi was escaping, Su Dingfang, who was being chased up, shot an arrow under his horse and died on the spot.

When Luo Cheng saw Huang Shao coming, he rode his horse forward and stabbed him to death with a single shot. The leaderless yellow scarf bandits put down their weapons and surrendered. This battle was easier than expected for Li Song.
