After successfully harmonizing Yuan Xu's Jiyin County soldiers, Li Shushi did not continue to pursue the situation. Because Yuan Xu had successfully evacuated in the first place, even if there were a small number of deserters, after all, he still had more than 10,000 people in his hands. In addition,
Li Shushi was not sure that the local powerful people who worked with him could win Juancheng, the strong city that served as the seat of Yanzhou.
Then let's go look for trouble in Dong'a, where the hydrological conditions for crossing the river are much better than those here in Juancheng. Of course, Li Shushi said that he was definitely not a fan of Cheng Li, and he had no intention of taking over the bearded man.
plan. He is not the bearded maniac like Liao Chun, and he is definitely not the sexy uncle maniac.
When mentioning Dong'a, the first thing that comes to mind is probably Dong'a's donkey-hide gelatin. But what's interesting is that due to historical changes, the name of Dong'a in Shandong Province is quite controversial. One of them is Dong'a, which is now a subsidiary of Liaocheng, Shandong.
A County, another
It is Dong'a Town under Pingyin County. Although it is not called Dong'a, it is the last town in Yanggu County that has the earliest right to use the place name Dong'a. In this way, everyone everywhere calls themselves orthodox and desperately attacks other people's products. Shopping malls such as
On the battlefield, there is no bloodshed in killing people.
In fact, Dong'a was called "Ke" in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was located on the western border of Qi State and was named because it was close to the lake. In ancient times, the two characters "Ke" and "A" were interchangeable, so it was also called "Ayi". In the Han Dynasty,
I don't know whether it was because Dong'a was located in Dongjun, or because it was to the east of Dongjun, or for some other reason, so the place was named Dong'a County, and the name Dong'a began to be passed down from generation to generation.
Speaking of celebrities in Dong'a, if Cheng Yu hadn't followed up the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it would have been a suspense whether he could even squeeze into the top three. If we really want to look at the influence on Li Shushi, the number one one is undoubtedly helping Qi Guo in one fell swoop.
Sun Boling, the military strategist who overturned Wei's dominance in the early Warring States period. However, compared to his real name, his other name is more prominent, that is Sun Bin.
Another person who can compete with Sun Bin is Cheng Zhijie, the first demon king in the Tang Dynasty, that is, Cheng Yaojin, who only knows three axes. However, considering that like Cheng Yu, Cheng Yaojin's reputation is very high.
It also relied on the spread of a Sui and Tang Dynasty novel, so it is a little behind Sun Bin in the ranking. After all, besieging Wei to save Zhao and Tian Ji's horse racing are not worth mentioning.
But it cannot be denied that Uncle Cheng Yu's tactical planning ability is definitely ranked among the top ten among the Three Kingdoms, and he has a strong personality. There is a legend that he once kicked a poor Yellow Turban soldier to death. It can be said that Cheng Yu's
Intelligence and spell output are definitely the important guarantees that, along with Xue Fang's wealth, allow the small county town of Dong'a to persist to this day.
What is even more unfavorable to the Yellow Turban Army is Cheng Yu's spirit of being a teacher. Although Dong'a is just a county-level unit under Dongjun and does not have a shrine academy to cultivate valuable civil service talents for it, with Cheng Yu's outstanding talent
of strategists graduated
With all his hard work, a small strategist group was cultivated for this small county. This strategist group also became a nightmare for the Yellow Turban Army, which lacked long-range attack methods. At least Bu Ji, a Taoist priest who was firmly suppressed by Cheng Yu,
Definitely deeply touching.
"Zhu Shi, you and I have known each other for many years, and I have grown up with you for several years. It is not an exaggeration to call myself brother."
"Zhongde, what's wrong with you? This is not like your usual style."
Standing in the gatehouse of the Dong'a city wall and looking at the densely packed enemy camps in the distance, Cheng Yu showed a rare look of exhaustion. Xue Fang, who was standing beside him, obviously noticed this as well, knowing the temper of his old friend.
He knew that Cheng Yu must have calculated some bad result, so his expression at this time was a little dispirited that he could not see at ordinary times.
"Didn't you also receive the news? Governor Yuan has been defeated. He attacked halfway across the river. The enemy is also a man who knows the art of war. And what worries me most is that the opponent seems to have a large number of light cavalry and archers. You
We also know that a large part of the reason why we have been able to survive until now is because the Yellow Turban Army lacks long-range support. We can calmly use long-range strikes to destroy their offensive rhythm and the morale of their soldiers. But if the other party also has long-range means, we will
It's not as easy as before, and..."
At the end of his speech, Cheng Yu looked at Xue Fang beside him, who was hesitant to speak, as if it was difficult to say the next words.
"Let me tell you, our food supply is almost at the bottom, right? Whether it's military food or civilian food, right?"
Xue Fang smiled bitterly and told what Cheng Yu was worried about. Yes, the city of Dong'a was small, and in order to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban Army, it implemented a policy of fortifying the surrounding areas and driving all the powerful tenants from the surrounding areas into the county.
The Yellow Turban Army was unable to obtain enough rations and soldiers, but it also greatly increased the population in the city.
At this time when spring sowing is about to begin, a large number of people have poured in when there was already a shortage of food. This has caused a large amount of food in the county to be consumed by the people, and the official warehouse is about to bottom out.
.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems with food. When County Magistrate Zhang left, he only took some soft goods with him. There should be some inventory in his mansion. Besides, since we have to live and die with Dong'e County, then my family's
The money and grain savings can also be contributed. Then those families will have no excuses."
"Brother Zhu Shi, on behalf of all the people in the city, I would like to thank you for your great kindness. If we can repel the invading Yellow Turbans in the future, my dear brother should be the first to take the lead."
Cheng Yu was really moved by Xue Fang. This was a move that risked all his wealth and life, and even if the Yellow Turban Army was repelled in the future, the Xue family would be hurt by such a move, and even threaten their own family.
The security of the industry. Of course, the prestige gained and the output value brought by prestige are also immeasurable.
Soon, the Yellow Turban Army outside the city could feel the change in the enemy's morale. Even under Cheng Yu's planning, Dong'a's death squad took advantage of the night to go to the Yellow Turban Army's camp and cause a scene, which led to the Yellow Turban Army's siege.
The time was delayed by a whole day.
It's a pity that Dong'a has few soldiers in the city after all, and it has already put in a lot of effort to resist Bu Ji's attack. Now that it has encountered Li Shushi, who has the strongest long-range attack power among the Yellow Turban Army, it is destined that it will become a target.
The straw that broke the camel's back.
"Finally, Brother Li Xian is here. I'm looking forward to seeing you all. You don't know how tenacious the enemy troops are in Dong'a City. If I don't pay attention, they will take a bite of them and burn a lot of food for the army.
What’s even more annoying is that they have moved all the people from the area of nearly a hundred miles around Dong’e County into the city, and there are many of my Taiping Dao followers among them.”
Seeing Bu Ji's friendly look, Li Shushi felt indescribable disgust in his heart.
Think about it, Bu Ji holds tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Although the Dong'a defenders are indeed difficult to deal with, Bu Ji is not Gao Sheng who is trapped in Puyang City and cannot get out. The number of Dong'a defenders will not let him down.
If Bu Ji sends out a supporting army, he will be overturned by his opponent. But under Li
When Shushi needed support the most, Bu Ji remained motionless. Fortunately, Li Shushi took advantage of the terrain and cavalry to defeat his opponent. Otherwise, if the two armies fought against each other, Li Shushi would have no chance of winning even if he faced a ratio of nearly 1:3.
It was a miserable victory.
Li Shushi didn't bother to interact with such a person. He dealt with him for a while with a friendly smile like an excellent businessman and then left with an excuse. As soon as he returned to his camp, he ordered Taishi Ci and Wei Yue to lead the cavalry to strengthen patrols.
light infantry
Cao Xing and Cao Xing's archers must also be on guard and ready for the day. Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei take turns to stay on duty at night to protect their Chinese army tents. These are all to prevent them from having evil thoughts and killing themselves.
Then take over the actions of his subordinates.
Li Shushi has read various versions of the summary of the reasons for the failure of the Yellow Turban Army. One of the points is that the Yellow Turban Army does not belong to each other and lacks the spirit of coordinated operations. Basically, all regions fight independently, with little assistance to each other.
.
At first, he was a little skeptical about this statement. Later, when he saw Zhang Jue giving orders to all directions, he felt that it must be nonsense. At most, the armies were too scattered and it was inconvenient for Zhang Jue to command in the north, so it looked like the Yellow Turban Army.
Lack of unified leadership.
But through what he did today, Li Shushi felt that this might indeed be a serious problem.
"Hey, it's all because of me. Bu Ji Dafang was very optimistic about me at first and recommended me to be the commander of the Yellow Turban Army. But then I just left him alone and didn't care about him until I got to Julu. I don't think so much about him.
There are some complaints,”
After hearing the series of arrangements made by Li Shushi after his return, Guan Hai reluctantly tried to persuade Li Shushi. Only then did Li Shushi remember that Guan Hai had indeed used Zhang Jiao to poach Bu Ji from Bu Ji.
Speaking of which, once Guan Hai left, the other leaders of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army were of similar caliber, but they were all far inferior to Guan Hai. It was difficult for anyone to win over Guan Hai. In the end, Bu Ji had no choice but to use the name of Da Fang to order the troops.
.but divination
He was just a scholar and Taoist priest. He didn't know much about marching and fighting. As a result, he was at a loss when he encountered a slightly more difficult enemy. This of course made Bu Ji secretly resent Li Shushi, the culprit who transferred Guan Hai away.
"The Yellow Turban Army is not his own private army. It is a waste of public service for his own selfish interests, and he is not a good thing."
Although he understood the cause of the matter, Li Shushi was still very dissatisfied with Bu Ji's behavior. But what would he do if Zhang Jiao took Lu Bu and others away from him for an excuse? Maybe people have selfish motives.
.
You must know that even the most selfless party troops were plowed over and over again by Master Taizu before they developed the spirit of selflessness. How can you expect the Taoist priests who were a group of common people and deeply among the common people half a year ago to be so high?
Awakening.
So, the famous saying in the Three Kingdoms is very good, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me." Although it is a bit extreme, in this troubled world, be careful with those who threaten you.
It never hurts to be cautious.
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Li Shushi, who was born in an era when the law of the jungle was prevalent, firmly believes in this point.
p.s. Whether it will be driven by a strong US dollar or a standard head and shoulders top that will completely crash US stocks, we will wait and see...
