Chapter 92 Each has its own strategy

When Huo Hai led his team to set off from Julu County, a grand military convention was being held in the Han army camp, and all the generals who led more than a thousand troops were sitting.

Such a grand military convention was held because Huangfu Song was preparing to launch a general attack on Guangzong City, and these people who came to help were very interested in Zhang Liang's head.

"Zhang Liang sent all the women to the city wall today. Tomorrow we only need to attack for another day, and Guangzong City will be broken." In the military tent, the generals spoke to Huangfu Song one after another.

Their meaning is that tomorrow morning, four gates will attack together, with the fierce generals taking the lead, and the elite soldiers will then, as for whom the family can get Zhang Liang's head first after entering the city, it depends on their own luck. They don't believe that the official army wearing armor and holding standard weapons will not be able to defeat the peasant women holding rakes and hoes.

Huangfu Song knew what these people were thinking, but he felt bad that the Yellow Turban Army’s will to resist should not be so firm. The more they looked at the victory in front of them, the more likely they would be to capsize in the gutter.

After his eyes glanced at the audience, he found that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others who were usually more provocative did not speak, so he called one of them and asked, "Meng De thought that our army could attack four gates tomorrow and first go to Guangzong City?"

"If this is true, I'm afraid our military tent will be gone tomorrow." Cao Cao shook his head and said.

When the generals heard this, they were stunned. Han Fu, who represented the Han family, asked him, "Why did Meng De say this?"

Cao Cao glanced at him and replied, "Because the Yellow Turban Army still has strength, not to mention how many troops Zhang Liang still has in his hands, he has any incredible means. That is, outside Guangzong City, there are at least two armies that can pose a threat to our army."

"Which two armies?" Han Fu continued to ask like a supporting actor.

"Zhang Bao's troops made more than 100,000 yuan and defeated Gongsun Zan's three thousand white horses, the Black Mountain Army." Cao Cao replied.

"Zhang Bao is stationed in Quyang, and the Black Mountain Army is in Julu..."

"In the past, maybe it's now, it's definitely not. They may be near our camp and may come to the camp tomorrow." Before Han Fu finished speaking, Cao Cao interrupted him.

"What certificate do you have?" Han Fu said in a daze.

"Because I saw that Zhang Liang sent women to the city wall to lure the enemy. In fact, after the entire battle was joined by the Black Mountain Army, we cannot look at it from the past. The Yellow Turban Thieves may not understand the art of war, but Huo Hai, the leader of the Black Mountain Village, is a master of military tactics. If this person doesn't take action, he will be a great victory. If he fights with him, we must be very cautious." Cao Cao said truthfully.

"Cao Mengde, you are too cautious! Gongsun Zan was hit by someone else's ambush, which led to a crushing defeat. Our camp has 50,000 elite troops, and 8,000 elite cavalry. There are 20,000 general Zhu's army as supporters in the rear. How can the Yellow Turban thieves ambush us?

Even if Zhang Bao and Huo Hai led their troops to attack at the same time and fought head-on, they were just seeking death. We only need to send cavalry to plow a few times along the surroundings of the camp to kill them all." Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, looked at Cao Cao and laughed.

The other officials from all over the country who came temporarily also joked about Cao Cao, and some even accused him of fear of war, as if the Yellow Turban Rebellion was the first to rush forward to wipe out the Yellow Turban Thief.

There was a person who had been silent all the time, and even looked at Cao Cao with a little appreciation. The man was not Huangfu Song, who had been shaken in his heart, but Yuan Shao.

He felt that Cao Cao was indeed a knowledgeable person and should be a younger brother. If he really wanted to do something practical in the future, he could send him there.

After everyone expressed their opinions, Yuan Shao shouted to everyone as if he was the chief general, "Just be quiet. In fact, although what Meng De said is not accurate, it is almost done. Zhang Bao did assemble more than 100,000 troops to prepare to raid our army's camp. As for the Black Mountain Army, it should be in Julu now."

"How did Benchu ​​learn about this?" Huangfu Song looked at Yuan Shao with some surprise.

"This was achieved by Master Zhou Ling and his friends, and it has been proved by secret methods." Yuan Shao said with a smile.

When he talked about Zhou Ling and the others, the generals who had arrived at the Han army camp were immediately convinced. They were able to attack the Black Mountain Army hundreds of miles apart, and then easily deal with the insect formations that the Black Mountain Army counterattacked in the big camp. They had real skills.

"Where is Zhang Bao's troops?" Huangfu Song frowned.

If it was really what Yuan Shao said, then he almost made the wrong decision just now, and at the same time, he also knew why he was so uneasy just now.

If all the elite troops go out to attack Guangzong City, then the camp may be very large if it is pushed out by others.

"Thirty miles south of our army camp." Yuan Shao replied with a smile.

"They have gone around behind us? No wonder our explorer did not find them." Huangfu Song said coldly in his vest.

When the generals in the tent heard this, they all looked surprised. They originally thought they were just fighting a good fight and gained some credit, but they did not expect that the Yellow Turban Army would go out so hard, give up all the territory, gather more than 100,000 troops, and go around to their backs to prepare for a surprise attack. Judging from this situation, there would be no tough battle to fight later.

If Huo Hai was here, he would have suddenly realized and said, no wonder Yuan Shao's first half of his life was like a cheat, and he could quickly unify the four northern states.

Cao Cao, who saw this situation on the scene, admired the Yuan family's profound background even more.

"These things are no longer important now. Wouldn't it be better for us to use a plan to defeat them when they think their plans have succeeded?" Yuan Shao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Song's eyes lit up and said, "That's true. Since they are coming to fight our camp tomorrow, we should make some arrangements in the camp tonight."

Soon, a set of anti-raid traps were formulated by Huangfu Song and the generals in the camp. As for those who had been shouting that they would enter Guangzong City, they were just right to lead miscellaneous soldiers and even auxiliary troops to attack.

Before the war, the general's mental pressure was generally very huge, because his decision may affect everyone's life and death. Therefore, even if Zhang Bao practiced freely and casually entering the world, he did not sleep well all night.

After dawn, in the temporary camp of the Yellow Turban Army, everyone started to make rice, and Zhang Bao also drank two bowls of porridge with everyone. Now, he missed the delicious food Huo Hai made. Unfortunately, he probably didn't have many opportunities to eat it.

"Boom..."

The sound of horse hooves came from afar, but the Yellow Turban soldiers who were drinking porridge in the camp were not nervous because they knew it was friendly troops coming.

"How is it? Can the food and grass in the army last a month?" Huo Hai, who rode directly to Zhang Bao's location, turned over and dismounted and asked him.

Zhang Bao shook his head and said, "If you drink this kind of porridge for seven days, you will be gone. Have you brought food?"

Huo Hai smiled, took out a small jar from a bag under the horse's neck and threw it to Zhang Bao. It contained dried fish fillets, which were very chewy. After eating a few pieces, I drank a bag of water, so I could not get hungry for a long time.

Zhang Bao did not have any thorns when eating such fish fillets. It would not be a waste to chew and swallow the fish bones together. After Huo Hai ate them, he sat next to him, opened the water bag and drank water, and said, "We won, but we were just qualified to surrender, so we don't really care too much about winning or losing."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Bao, whose mouth was filled with dried fish, wondered.

"I ran for more than an hour last night. I marched here half an hour before the rooster crowed in the morning. In fact, I just wanted to tell you not to attack the Han army camp today, because our problem is that there is no food, and going to war with them will not solve our food problem." Huo Hai explained to Zhang Bao.

"My subordinates don't think so. Let them starve to death. They would rather be stabbed to death by the spear of the Han army." Zhang Bao shook his head and said.

People who live a very painful life will not cherish their lives so much. Huo Hai understands this truth. He is not trying to fight for anything for those who do not care about their lives at all. He just wants to make their deaths more valuable.

"With Zixu, Guan Lu, Li Yi and others' disciples, the Han army should have already known your movements. Going today is like dying. This cannot solve the problems of Guangzong City and Heishan Village." Huo Haidao.

"What you mean is to let me build camp defense here and wait for the Han army to attack? That's not letting us starve to death?" Zhang Bao spread his hands and said.

"It's also death. Wouldn't you buy more time for the two million people in Heishan Village and the families of the Yellow Turban Army who fled to Heishan Village in various places?" Huo Hai said very heavy.

Zhang Bao was silent for a while before speaking, "Okay! I'll leave my life to you. When is the right time to die, you have the final say. As long as you let me not suffer when I'm alive."

"If you don't suffer more when you are alive, it will be difficult to guarantee some things after death. I have never thought about resting day and night. Don't think about living a comfortable life. After breakfast, start everyone. The stronger the camp is, the longer you will persist in defending. I will find a way to find more food for you." After Huo Hai stood up, he walked towards his big red horse.

Zhang Bao stood up and looked at him and said, "You are going to Wei County? The city is high and the walls are thick. Zhu Ye has just brought 20,000 elite troops of the imperial court. Many cavalry supported by the gentry were also inaugurated for them. There are Wubao checkpoints along the way, so it is difficult to grab food."

"Isn't Handan City also very strong? We have made a lot of food out of it. No matter how strong Wei County is, people live in it, and people will have weaknesses." Huo Hai said with confidence.

"Do you want to use the talisman formation to deal with the defenders of Wei County?" Zhang Bao said in surprise.

"Isn't it possible?" Huo Hai said as if Zhang Bao had something to say.

"Wei County is a gathering place for the great tribes in the north. There are not a hundred or eighty monks living in seclusion. If you want to fight them with the talisman array, you may have to prepare enough materials. I think that with your current family background in Heishan Village, you will not be able to consume them." Zhang Bao reminded Huo Haidao.

If a few talismans can play a role, then Zhang Jiao would not have been blocked outside Handan City earlier. Those people from Tianshidao are the best at these things.

Moreover, in order to obtain their own cultivation resources, their disciples usually go to the great gentry as disciples or worshipers. This is also one of the reasons why the cities where great gentry live are difficult to break through. The Yellow Turban Army can only grab some small and medium-sized gentry without foundation and some small landlords in the village.

The reason why the Qifeng Cavalry can win outside Handan City is because they did not attack the city and did not affect the reproduction and inheritance of the great gentry in the city.

Secondly, Zhang Ning, a person who has learned the skills of peace, has prepared a defense for attacks launched by cultivators in all aspects early in the morning.

In addition, the reason why there are few talisman fighting on the battlefield is that this thing is really expensive, but don’t look at Zuo Ci easily draw a talisman. The materials for drawing talismans may have been collected by him for many years. The value of a talisman is far higher than the lives of many soldiers. No one will easily use this energy when the family foundation is shaken.
