The Changshe fire was shocking. A group of children from aristocratic families saw the army of Bocai scattered in the flames and wailed all over the sky, leaving only shock and dullness.
"Ride the wind and fire, burn Changshe, Fengxiao and Yuanzhi, this battle alone is enough to become famous all over the world!" Chen Qun looked full of admiration and admiration.
But Xi Zhicai bowed to Xun Yan, who was also thrilling and unable to calm down, and said, "Brother Xiuruo, at this moment, Bo Cai is fleeing. Please immediately order out of the city to cover the killing of the bandits, and make sure not to leave any future troubles."
As soon as this statement was made, not only Xun Yan realized that this was a good time to kill the thief, but even the playboys knew that if they went out of the city to kill the enemy at this moment, it would be a god-given opportunity to make achievements. As long as they showed a little, they would submit to the court in the future and ask the elders in the clan to recommend it to them, and they would definitely have a prosperous official career.
Therefore, when Xun Yan gave the order, the children of the aristocratic families hurried down the city tower and led their families out of the city to suppress the thieves. Anyway, the Yellow Turban thieves were fleeing and had no power to resist.
...
When Bocai's defeat was reported to Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao was so angry that he trembled all over. He threw the bamboo slips that reported the military information outside the tent, and cursed: "Bocai, you are overestimating your ability! I have caused thousands of people in Taiping Road to bury you with you!"
After Zhang Bao picked up the bamboo slips outside the tent and finished reading them, he handed them to Zhang Liang next to him.
Zhang Liang said in surprise: "Did Guo Fengxiao have the help of ghosts and gods? He would burn my army with only one big fire without any damage?"
Zhang Jiao, who was sitting in the tent of the commander, closed his eyes and sighed: "I am not sure if I am siege and siege to attack Luoyang by 600,000 people. If I have filial piety, even if I only have 100,000 people, I will definitely destroy Luoyang."
Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang both showed shock, and Zhang Bao murmured: "Brother's heart, Guo Fengxiao has actually won 500,000 soldiers?"
His eyes opened, his brilliance shot out, Zhang Jiao stood up and said loudly: "Send the order, the army will set sail tomorrow, and rush to Luoyang before sunset, and wait for the other armies to join, and then break through Luoyang in one fell swoop!"
"Abide by the order!"
...
In Luoyang City, in the mansion of Sikong Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei, the Sikong and Taifu, who are among the three officials of the dynasty, are entertaining their old friend Xun Shuang. In the guest room of the other courtyard, three new generation heroes of the Xun family also gathered together to discuss current affairs.
Xun Chen, Xun Yu and Xun You sat on the ground. Xun You is the best among the three, at least he is now the Huangmen Minister under General He Jin's tent.
"The total number of defenders in the city is 50,000. The rich gentry sent servants in the mansion to the general's tent to obey orders. Recently, after recruiting troops from the city, the total of the two items was 15,000 new soldiers, and they were fully in charge. These 65,000 soldiers were still too few than the 600,000 Yellow Turban thieves. However, Luoyang City is high and thick, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the thieves are huge, they will still be unable to break the city in a short time." Xun You talked happily and shared the news he learned from the General's shogunate with his two uncles.
After hearing this, Xun Chen and Xun Yu did not look nervous, but were deeply worried. Xun Yu even murmured: "If he were there, it would be great."
Xun Chen heard this sentence and asked, "Wanduo said to Guo Fengxiao?"
Xun Yu nodded and said, "With filial piety and good strategy, good at making strange plans, Luoyang City is now in danger. I am afraid that the city will be destroyed by the right way. Only by winning by surprise can we reverse the situation."
Although Xun You had never seen Guo Jia, he also heard that his uncle in the clan often talked about this person. When Xun Yu praised Guo Jia so much, he asked immediately: "Is this Guo Fengxiao really a smart plan to turn the world?"
Even Xun Chen, who had not had a close relationship with Guo Jia, nodded in agreement with this point, and he explained: "Gongda, I will tell you that I have had a general friendship with Guo Fengxiao and only had a few times to get along, but I was fortunate to see him teach the military strategy of poor families. Taking dozens of familiar battles in ancient and modern times as an example, he often speaks amazing and thought-provoking. I often think that if Guo Fengxiao was here and commanded the famous battles in ancient times, the result would probably be completely different. This person only talks about military tactics, and there are few people in the world who can match them."
Xun You was shocked and then sighed: "I wish I could meet this person. If such a genius in the world serves the court, he will be able to stabilize the world."
After a silence inside, Xun Chen cheered up and said, "Whether the danger in Luoyang can be safely lifted, the key is whether the world's prefectures and counties can send troops to rescue in time."
Xun You, who had a mouthful of tea, poured a basin of cold water and sneered: "The Yellow Turban thieves have 600,000,000, I don't know how many governors and prefects have their courage. Besides, these governors and prefects have other plans. If Luoyang City is destroyed..."
Xun You didn't say the following words, all the smart people here were clear.
Xun Yu clenched his fist and smashed it on the table and said angrily: "These important officials of the Han Dynasty are in danger now. If they do not lead troops to rescue the emperor and solve the problems, they will definitely have the intention of being unjust."
Xun Chen and Xun You looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Everyone understood the truth, but no one dared to assert the future development of the situation.
The next day, Emperor Ling of Han sat high on the dragon throne, looking listless. He was worried and worried for several days, and he had no intention of discussing the court.
Suddenly someone entered the hall and lie down to report: "Report to Your Majesty, General Jehovah came to report the military situation. The Yellow Turban Thief Zhang Bai's cavalry team has led a large army to the west gate of the imperial city, Zhang Niujiao's army has led a large army to the east gate of the imperial city, Zhang Mancheng has led a large army to the south gate of the imperial city, and the demonic path Zhang Jiao led a large army to the north gate of the imperial city, and now the imperial city has been surrounded on all sides. General Jehovah reported to Your Majesty that he had personally gone up to the city tower to supervise the battle, and vowed to defend the imperial city to the death, and would never allow a thief to step into the imperial city!"
There was a chaotic riot in the hall, and there was constant striking discussion. Emperor Ling of Han stood up tremblingly, pointed at the generals of His Highness with a pale face and asked in a trembling voice: "Where is my royal army? Where are the royal army who came to rescue the emperor in various prefectures and counties? Where have they been? Where have they been?"
"Report to your Majesty, the last general does not know that the general has never received any reinforcements from any prefectures and counties."
Emperor Ling of Han was unable to breathe as if he was suffocating. He collapsed backwards and fell softly on the dragon throne. After a while, he said weakly: "Tell me, tell the general, be sure to ensure that the emperor is not lost."
"The last thing will be followed."
...
On the Luoyang city tower, the majestic general He Jin was wearing armor and standing on the city tower with a sword. Beside him were the heroic Yuan Shao and the vulgar but fierce and powerful Cao Cao.
There are yellow flags standing in the wilderness outside the city, and the Yellow Turban Army camps are arranged in an orderly manner, with countless soldiers shaking in front of them. Such scenes alone are enough to shock people and intimidate.
Even the general who was in charge of the world's troops had never seen such a monstrous formation? He Jin exhaled a long breath of turbid air, turned his head and looked at Yuan Shao and asked, "Benchu, when will this Yellow Turban thief attack the city?"
After thinking about it, Yuan Shao said, "Returning to the general, the general thought that although the Yellow Turban Thief was powerful, it lacked siege equipment. Besides, when people and horses came from afar, they would definitely rest for several days. Only after they were able to accumulate energy and have sufficient siege equipment would they order the siege."
He Jin thought it made sense, but he turned to the other side and asked Cao Cao: "Meng De, what if it is your opinion?"
Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shao from the corner of his eyes, and then said lightly: "Return to the general, the last general thought that the Yellow Turban thieves would attack the city as soon as the afternoon, and at the latest, it would be tomorrow."
He Jin was shocked, Yuan Shao was the same, but he did not believe it: "Meng De, this is a major event in the country's military affairs, so you should not be a joke, so don't talk nonsense."
The general raised his hand to stop Yuan Shao, and asked seriously at Cao Cao, "Meng De, bring your reasons one by one."
Cao Cao bowed and said in a stern manner: "The Yellow Turban thieves raised 600,000 people to siege the imperial capital. They did not have any siege equipment at first, but they passed through the states and counties, and they must have rushed to the road, cut down trees, and built siege equipment at the same time. Even if there were no, they would build siege equipment overnight today. The Yellow Turban thieves killed all 150,000 of our Han Dynasty's King's Army. They must think that the imperial capital is empty. Therefore, in this battle, the Yellow Turban thieves will be eager to break the city and fight quickly. Otherwise, there will be changes later, especially if reinforcements from various states and counties arrive, the Yellow Turban thieves will be attacked from both sides. Therefore, if the last general is not as expected, this battle will be either this afternoon or tomorrow at sunrise."
He turned his eyes to the Yellow Turban Army outside the city again, and He Jin murmured: "Meng De's words are reasonable."
...
Outside Luoyang City, within the Yellow Turban Army Commander Zhang Jiao's tent, there were various commanders of the Qu, and everyone had a proud look on their faces.
Zhang Liang went out and clasped his fists and said, "General, Luoyang City is near, our army is in full swing. We are just waiting to break through the city gate and overthrow the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop. However, the siege equipment is not sufficient. There are few ladders in the army now. Please order the flying bridge to be built for our army to pass through the moat and replenish the number of ladders."
The generals on both sides nodded in agreement, but Zhang Jiao smiled mysteriously and waved his hand: "I ordered people to prepare the flying bridge when I was in Jizhou. As for the ladder, it is enough and there is no need to be built. You just need to go back to the camp to keep the soldiers of the three armies in their energy and see. Tomorrow, we will attack all over and capture Luoyang!"
Although Zhang Jiao said this, the generals below were confused. Liu Shi asked, "General, the number of ladders in each barracks is insufficient. If they are not built overnight, the siege of the city tomorrow may affect our army's siege."
Zhang Jiao waved his hand and said casually: "Don't ask too much, just wait and arrange according to my order. Tomorrow, my Taiping Road will surely wash the imperial city!"
All the generals had no choice but to retreat.
Only Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao were left in the tent. Zhang Bao asked, "Brother, the city responded ten days ago that the Luoyang defenders were less than 50,000. If our army did not build more ladders overnight, it would be hindered to attack the city tomorrow."
Zhang Jiao smiled faintly and said, "I have 50,000 defenders in the city, and I have 600,000 Taiping Road's army. Even if I use 100, 200,000, 300,000 people to exchange 50,000 defenders on the other side, I don't feel sorry for me. However, invading Luoyang, I don't rely on soldiers to attack the city. Tomorrow, you will understand."
