Chapter 320
"Lord, don't worry, we are not prepared for this time. After the Yellow Turban thieves retreated this time, they will definitely be able to reorganize their military and will not let the same thing happen again." said Zong Bao, the general under Kong Rong.
Kong Rong frowned. To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied with Zong Bao. In the past, it was probably because Kong Rong had no ambitions and did not participate in many wars in Beihai. Kong Rong felt that Zong Bao was quite pleasing to him. Zong Bao's speech, steady temperament, and his vast strategies and tactics, including his overall view, all made Kong Rong very satisfied. Kong Rong believed that although Zong Bao was not as good as those famous generals in the world, he was also considered a good general.
Until this time, Beihai was really in crisis, but Zong Bao did not play any role. Kong Rong was a little dissatisfied with him in an instant. Perhaps it was Kong Rong who was prejudiced and looked down on the Yellow Turban Thief. Kong Rong felt that you could not even beat an unknown Yellow Turban Thief, so what's the use of Zong Bao?
At this moment, Kong Rong truly understood what it means to talk about war on paper. In the past, Kong Rong always looked down on those reckless men who had never read books and thought they were rough people. In addition to being powerful in martial arts, do they really understand military tactics and really know how to fight? Now, Kong Rong felt that it would be better to find a reckless man who could kill Guan Hai directly on the battlefield, and the group of headless Yellow Turban thieves should have dispersed directly.
In short, after saying so much, there is only one meaning. Kong Rong has no confidence in Zongbao. He thinks that Zongbao is not good. No matter how Zongbao prepares, he still can't hold on the next time the Yellow Turban thief comes. For a moment, Kong Rong was already thinking about seeking foreign aid and had plans to recruit warriors.
As a result, before Kong Rong could think too much, he heard soldiers exclaiming.
"Why didn't the Yellow Turban thieves retreat?"
Kong Rong looked up and found that after the Yellow Turban thieves transported the food to the rear, the soldiers guarding in front showed no sign of leaving.
"What's going on?" Kong Rong asked Zongbao.
"No hurry." Zong Bao seemed calm and elegant. "The speed of transporting grain was very slow. The Yellow Turban thieves should be worried that we would take the opportunity to attack. In order to protect the food, they temporarily stayed in place. If I were me, I would do this. The more the Yellow Turban thieves were like this, the more they cared about food. They would soon withdraw their troops if they were short of food."
Listening to Zong Bao's confident tone, Kong Rong felt relieved again. Zong Bao's martial arts were a little low, but his vision and overall view should be relatively accurate.
Since the Yellow Turban Army had not retreated, Kong Rong naturally couldn't leave the city wall. He paid attention to the movements of the Yellow Turban Army and chatted with the people around him. As he talked, everyone was no longer calm.
It seems that a long time has passed, right? It seems that I have drunk a few bowls of tea? At this rhythm, the Yellow Turban Thief really has no intention of withdrawing the army!
"Zongbao!" Kong Rong shouted coldly.
"I'm here!" Zong Bao quickly answered.
"You go down and ask, what does this Yellow Turban thief mean?!" Kong Rong seemed very angry. The reaction of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban actually explained everything. Kong Rong hated such untrustworthy people. As expected, the bandits are bandits!
Zong Bao received the order and immediately went to make arrangements. He was smart and did not go out of the city to negotiate in person. He sent a brave soldier and soon conveyed Guan Hai's meaning.
"The Yellow Turban Thief means that we don't give enough food." Zong Bao reported carefully. His face was also a little bad. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Turban was too unreasonable to play.
"Not enough? How much does it take to emptie the granary for me?" Kong Rong said angrily.
Zong Bao twitched his mouth and replied weakly,
"That's what they really planned."
"What??"
Kong Rong's voice was raised, and he couldn't believe what he heard was true. Is there really such ungrateful and greedy person in this world?
"I heard the words of the leader opposite. He said that the purpose of their Yellow Turbans is food. If there is no food in the North Sea, they will naturally not come to attack us again." Zong Bao said.
"It's ridiculous!" Kong Rong was angry. He didn't know whether it was saying that the Yellow Turban Thief was ridiculous or that he was angry about his previous behavior. In short, Kong Rong realized that he was fooled by being treated as an honest person. "Zong Bao, you should immediately lead troops out to fight and let those Yellow Turban Thief know that I, Beihai, are not easy to bully!"
Kong Rong was indeed so angry, but he was not stupid either. He knew that Zong Bao would not be the opponent of the Yellow Turban Thief. So what Kong Rong wanted now was not to win the battle, but to show their tough attitude in Beihai. If you Yellow Turban Thiefs want food, you have to pay the price! As long as the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Turban realizes that Beihai is a difficult bone, and they have already taken the benefits, they will naturally withdraw their troops.
Kong Rong was smart, and Zong Bao, who could be chosen by him, was not stupid. To be honest, after the first fight, Zong Bao realized that he was no match for Guan Hai at all, so he was unwilling to fight without hitting him. However, Zong Bao knew Kong Rong's mood at this time and knew Kong Rong's real purpose. He could not escape this battle and had to fight. If he chose to retreat, Zong Bao believed that Kong Rong would immediately withdraw his official position in anger.
"I will receive the order! I will let the Yellow Turban Thief know how powerful we are!"

Outside the city,
Sun Quan knew exactly what would happen next because he had already simulated it with the Sans Thought Illusion.
"Kong Rong is also proud. If nothing unexpected happens, our move will inevitably anger him. I believe that the generals in the city will come out to fight soon." Sun Quan said to Guan Hai.
"General? Is the young man who was the one before?" Guan Hai smiled. As soon as he smiled, the yellow turret leaders next to him also burst into laughter.
Sun Quan also smiled on his face.
"That's right, it's him. There are no one in Beihai City, and Kong Rong has no two generals under him. According to my observation, this person is cautious and timid. General Guan, do you have a way to keep him within three moves?" Sun Quan said, because after three moves, Zong Bao would run away. This is the information Sun Quan got in the Sansi Illusion.
"Three moves? Just a little white-faced person, one move is enough!" Guan Hai's face was full of disdain.
"Oh? Why don't we make a bet?" Sun Quan said immediately. He knew that Zong Bao was not Guan Hai's opponent, and he was worried that Guan Hai would underestimate the enemy and let Zong Bao run away, so Sun Quan wanted to stimulate Guan Hai for a while.
When Guan Hai heard Sun Quan's words, he was indeed angry and thought Sun Quan looked down on him.
"What are you betting on?"
"Gambling for a day." Sun Quan stretched out a finger.
"One day?" Guan Hai was not sure.
"A day's time is limited to the battlefield. If I lose, I will obey you, give you advice, and even charge in the battle. If I win, you will obey me in the day." Sun Quan pointed at Guan Hai and said.
