Lu's relatives

Chapter 144 Qin Xu's Burning Company
Outside Beihai City, Guan Hai, the Yellow Turban commander who "borrowed" food for the siege, also had a headache.

Commanding a million yellow scarves sounds majestic, and looks spectacular, but in fact, he has a hard time and knows it.How can this be a yellow scarf thief with 10,000+ in front of me, this is obviously a 10,000+ mouth!Just thinking about the military rations consumed every day is an astronomical figure. The [-] shi of military rations prepared earlier is not enough for this group of people to eat. Facing the hungry faces with sallow and emaciated faces, Guan Hai has nothing to do. Therefore, I can only repeatedly persuade these people to tighten their belts and first look around for other food, so as to save some food to give priority to supplying soldiers.And he promised repeatedly that after breaking Beihai City, he would allow the army to eat dry food for three days.

But no one will believe this soon.The city of Beihai is small, how much grain can there be if it is full?One hundred thousand stone? 20 shi?So what?Even if there is more food in stock, it is still unknown whether it will be enough to fill the 80 hungry and dizzy mouths.

What's more, these people came from three places, each had its own scope of activities before, and they were not affiliated with each other.Putting it all together, not to mention forming effective combat power, just reconciling the relationship between these multiple Yellow Turban forces made Guan Hai, a muscular man, feel that his brain is full of muscles.The military rations are bottoming out, conflicts are frequent, morale is dropping again and again, small groups of civil strife are happening almost every day, and there is a tendency to gradually expand.If Beihai could not be conquered again, these people might flee in a hurry.

"Commander! There is...some movement in Lu Bu's army!" Seeing that it was time for dinner again, when Guan Hai was having a headache, what reason should he make up for his subordinates to fool him first, Sun, the original yellow scarf leader under his command, Zhong rushed in in a hurry, shouting in panic.

"What?" Guan Hai was startled when he heard the words, and asked, "With just over ten thousand people, Lu Bu really dared to attack me and a million-strong army? Is he crazy?"

"Marshal! He is an elite regular army, and all his troops are cavalry, so he is not afraid of us at all!" Sun Zhong said with a bitter face: "Before, 3000 of his army's forwards fought with more than [-] of our troops. Once they fought, we Waiting for the soldiers to retreat and dare not fight any more, trampling on each other and causing countless casualties, this has already boosted their arrogance."

"But I can find out where their main attack is? Since ten thousand is not enough, then one hundred thousand, I still don't believe that they are all like that Lu Bu." Guan Hai heard Sun Zhong talking about the past, stood up abruptly, but He sat down slowly again, sighed heavily, and asked.

"According to the report from the brothers who went out to inquire about the news, this time Lu Bubu's army is very strange. They divided the more than ten thousand soldiers into three groups, with the Chinese army as the main force, and they are marching towards our army. According to calculations, it should be less than ten miles away at this time!" Sun Zhong hesitated for a moment, then said with a frown.

"Huh! This Lu Bu is also a man who doesn't know soldiers!" Guan Hai heard this, a glimmer of hope lit up in his eyes, he walked to the dilapidated map in the tent, and said: "There are more than ten thousand people in the district, and a small victory is enough. Overwhelmed with complacency, you dare to divide your troops into three groups? Don't you really think that we are made of mud? Pass the order down, um, don't rush to eat. The Chinese army to be scouted must be Commander Lu Bu, and the two groups are just a feint attack. The battalion only needs to be careful to guard the camp and not go to battle. Sun Zhong, gather all the soldiers and fight against Lv Bu with me! If Lv Bu's army can use the Rao Shizi's strategy of cutting off our Yellow Turban soldiers in Linzi, there must be a lot of army rations. Since it is delivered to your door , I will take my brothers to have a full meal!"

"No!" Guan Hai's words are quite reasonable, Sun Zhong also led the army before, and knows that this is indeed the most likely strategy to win.Nodding his head to lead the way.

The sun gradually turned to the west, and the Yellow Turban barracks became a little scattered.The sound of assembled footsteps, the clash of weapons, the scolding of old people, the screams of women, and the cries of children mingled together, making the atmosphere of killing in the sky over Beihai almost stagnant.

The assembly of nearly 20 people was not such an easy task for the Yellow Turban Army who had no military discipline at all. It took more than an hour and a half to toss back and forth, until the sky gradually dimmed, and it took shape.Facing the Lu Bu army marching neatly at this speed, it would be considered a high incense if they were not scattered, so what chance of winning?The anxious Guan Hai, Sun Zhong and other yellow-turban thieves were hanging around and cursing in the street.

But what surprised the two of them was that Sun Zhong had previously said that the more than ten thousand men in Lu Bu's army were all cavalry, but none of the well-armored Chinese army in front of them was riding a horse.And there was more than a mile near the Yellow Turban camp. Instead of taking advantage of the chaos and continuing to attack, they acted strangely and began to build a high platform.

"Could it be that Lu Bu also wants to do what a great sage and good teacher did?" Sun Zhong asked, seeing that Lu Bu's soldiers used local materials and built several platforms that were two feet wide and three feet high in a short time.This high platform performance in front of the battle was originally Zhang Jiao's usual method when he was leading the army. Guan Hai and Sun Zhong, the two old Yellow Turban generals, how could they not be familiar with this familiar method?But as the middle-level Yellow Turbans back then, both of them knew that this was just an act to confuse the people. Apart from temporarily boosting morale, it had no effect on the battle situation.However, what people like Lu Bu Zhongjun did was no different from what Zhang Jiao did back then.As a result, even if the two of them tried their best, they still couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Bu's gourd.

"Don't worry about them! These tricks are all left over from my waiting. Perhaps Lu Bu did this because he knew that most of our troops were fools and village women, and he didn't want to hurt the source. Since they don't take advantage of the situation to attack , I don’t need to pay attention to waiting! Hurry up and tell the brothers to gather together.” Guan Hai stared at the high platform built for a long time, and after some doubts, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said indifferently.

"No!" Seeing the strange behavior of Lu Bu's army, Sun Zhong didn't understand, so after listening to Guan Hai's order, he had no choice but to promise.

"Qin Xu, head of the left general's mansion in the Qingzhou Mu's mansion, please come out and answer the yellow turban bandits!" Some of the soldiers on Lu Bu's side were tired and lazy. More than [-] people gathered in a chaotic manner. Kong Er, who was famous for his loud voice in the Lu Bu army, was holding a tin bucket in his hand, and shouted impatiently in front of the formation.

"Why isn't it Lu Bu?" Hearing that the people in Lu Bu's army signed up, Guan Hai's eyes froze immediately, he turned into a demon instead of something unusual, Guan Hai can achieve today's position, and has been in Qingzhou for such a long time. Some savvy is still there: "What is the director Qin Xu? Why does the name sound so familiar?"

"But... maybe it's Qin Xu who was rumored to have forced the yellow scarf of Zichuan Guolao Han to surrender?" The feeling became more and more serious, and the calves turned a little bit, and he said to Guan Hai: "I heard that this person once defeated the [-] elites of Cao Cao in Yanzhou with [-] remnants. You should not be underestimated! The commander must be careful!"

"It's just a doll! If the rumors are to be believed, the great virtuous teacher has already sat in the Dragon Court!" Guan Hai rode the only draft horse in the headquarters, and by calling the direction, he saw the clothes Cai Yan sewed by himself. Qin Xu, who was looking at the tens of thousands of yellow turban soldiers in the black and white soldiers with a smile on his ill-fitting Yuebai Confucian shirt, said with a bit of disdain.

"Wu that thief general! My family's master Qin said it! Lu Qingzhou is mighty and benevolent, and has always been sympathetic to others; once the refugee policy came out, the refugees from the six counties and three places competed to join them. With a word of ascension, one hundred thousand yellow scarves from the Zichuan Kingdom besieged the city. Surrender, the old have something to depend on, the young have something to support, and the people under the rule have warm clothes and enough food. Your brazen siege of Beihai has made my lord Lu Qingzhou very happy! No! Happy! Happy!" Kong Er stunned loudly After memorizing it for a long time, he shouted out the words of persuasion specifically aimed at these Yellow Turban believers who were willing to be soldiers: "This is what you have done against the heavens, and you will be punished by the heavens! But Lu Qingzhou has the virtue of good life in heaven, if you kneel now Please come down, there is still a way to survive! If you resist stubbornly, when the time comes, the power of heaven will come, and it will be too late to regret!"

"Nonsense! The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established! I wait for the Yellow Turban believers to obey the sky and respond to the people!" Guan Hai couldn't understand that this guy who looked big had such a high-pitched voice, and his words were beyond words. What kind of God's will is involved at every turn?Isn't this a common method used by Zhang Jiao, the former spiritual pillar of the Yellow Turban?Why are people turning around and persuading me, these yellow turban thieves, to surrender now? Chi Guoguo's plagiarism!But Guan Hai also had to say that these words were effective for the yellow scarves behind them who couldn't even eat. With just a few words, many people already showed confusion on their faces.Guan Hai hurriedly shouted angrily at the front of the formation.

"The sky is dead! Huang Tian should stand!"

"The sky is dead! Huang Tian should stand!"

The slogan Guan Hai shouted was created during Zhang Jiao's riots. For the Yellow Turban bandits, this is faith!It seems to be the spiritual pillar supporting them at this moment.Almost all the yellow turban soldiers who had shown a bit of confusion on their faces before suddenly became resolute, tightly holding the worn-out knives and guns in their hands, waiting for Guan Hai to give an order, and then they were about to face the unknown number in front of them. How many times the soldiers of Lu Bu's army crushed them.

"Hmph! Let me just say, this kind of trivial skill, no matter how many platforms are built, no matter how many people get on it, it's useless. It was us back then... eh!" Lin, he saw hundreds of Lu Bu soldiers standing up straight in three rows on a dozen high platforms, with their right hands raised high, as if they were holding something.And the big man next to the ill-fitting young man also took out a red flag in his hand.

"Attack!" Almost subconsciously, Guan Hai didn't have time to say anything, and hurriedly ordered Sun Zhong and others who were standing behind him.

"Brothers! There is a lot of rations in Lu Bu's barracks, go get them with someone!" Sun Zhong also realized the strangeness of Lu Bu's army on the high platform, and before he had time to hesitate, he shouted in Guan Hai's voice.

"Shh!"

The red flag in Kong Er's stupid hand waved down viciously under Qin Xu's signal...
