Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang arrived at Changshe together without dividing their troops or taking any detours. When they heard the news of Huangfu Song's entry into the city on the way, they increased the marching speed of the army and did not even plan a counterattack for Zhu Jun who had received reinforcements. opportunity.
After all, compared to the enemy forces in Yangzhai, the Yingchuan County headquarters, which relies on the defense of Jiancheng, and the enemy forces in Yangguan City, which has a more dangerous terrain, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's troops trapped in Changshe City have far higher strategic and tactical values. Those ordinary county soldiers, because the two of them controlled the Northern Army used by the Han Dynasty to defend the capital and promising young men from various families.
If this army encounters a disaster in Changshe, the shock to the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty will be second only to that of 1976. Huangfu Song actually understood this very well. When he led his army into Changshe City, he actually A grand Russian roulette has been prepared for Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, and the bet is the future of Taiping Road and the Han Dynasty.
If we include the Nanyang battlefield, which was also in a stalemate, it can be said that at this time, the Yellow Turban Army has stagnated from the initial wave of lightning sweeping the country. With the support of local powerful people and the operation of the Han state machine, For the Han Dynasty, the entire Yellow Turban Uprising had entered the strategic stalemate stage from the strategic defense stage.
Of course, as mentioned before, Russian roulette means either you die or I die. If the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou can break this stalemate, it will be a huge blow to the Han Dynasty, which still has to resist foreign invasion. Bad news.
Precisely because of seeing this situation, both Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, who were in the game, and Li Shushi, who was standing on the shoulders of historians of all ages, felt that Huangfu Song's move was too risky. As for the senior generals on the side of the Yellow Turban Army, they even need to doubt whether this strategy was the work of Lao Huangfu.
First of all, because Changshe City is not an extremely strong or large-scale city like Yangzhai or Yangguan.
Although Zhu Jun's reinforcements a while ago are much stronger than before, they are just patchwork, and the fundamental structure of the city will not change. In other words, the city's defense capabilities are still not as good as those famously strong cities. city.
Secondly, Zhu Jun was actually in a hurry when he retreated to Changshe. Because he did not expect a traitor to appear within, the coalition forces of Zhu Jun and Wang Yun suffered a very embarrassing defeat. Not only did they suffer a lot of losses in their troops, they also lost most of their logistical supplies. .
Firstly, Changshe is not a transfer base for army supplies, and secondly, there is no official warehouse in Yingchuan County to store supplies, so there is not a lot of food in the city. Although it may be enough for the people in the city for a year or two, the influx of food now includes There are tens of thousands of troops including Huangfu Song's army, which may even reach 100,000. How can Changshe City, with a permanent population of only more than 30,000 people, be able to hold on?
In fact, in Li Shushi's memory, Huangfu Song seemed to have joined forces with Zhu Jun to fight against the Yellow Turban Army but was defeated. He had no choice but to retreat to Changshe City. If the fire hadn't saved him, I'm afraid he and Zhu Jun would have died. He will be trapped and die in Changshe City.
Moreover, Li Shushi looked at the two brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang who were sitting in the main seat. The two brothers had just used the power of magic to solve the rather strong Chenliucheng. Didn't a famous general like Huangfu Song notice this happening? , or does he have found a solution? One mystery after another was placed in front of him, and Li Shushi felt that his brain cells were really pitiful.
Of course, the debate was not only going on here with Li Shushi, there was also a fierce debate going on in Changshe City at this time.
"Yizhen, what's wrong with you? Why don't you take the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the enemy chief Bocai, so as to reduce the pressure on us. How can it be like this now? Look at the patches of yellow outside the city. Those new recruits are now I can’t even hold my weapon steady.”
"Gongwei, those yellow crops in front of me are like crops waiting to be harvested in my eyes, but they are not mature yet. And once the waves are defeated, I need time to gather them together, and now it is just what I want. Already."
Facing Zhu Jun's inquiry, Huangfu Song showed a rare arrogance, an expression of complete control. Seeing Zhu Jun's worried look, Huangfu Song decided to reveal some news to his good partner.
"I wonder if you know about a leader in the other camp named Li Xue."
"I've heard that he killed all the Yellow Turbans under Bocai's army at Linying City a while ago because he couldn't stand their bandit-like behavior. It was to avenge the people of Runan."
Although the scores were divided between the enemy and ourselves, Zhu Jun had to admit that the military discipline of Li Shushi's troops was still quite good, and what Li Shushi did could shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty. But it was precisely because of this that he felt that there were people like Li Shushi. The Yellow Turban Army with the help of the Yellow Turban Army is a very difficult opponent, and gradual encroachment is the best way to deal with this kind of army.
To be fair, Zhu Jun's tactics obviously sound more reliable than Huangfu Song's. After all, compared to Huangfu Song, who has been fighting at the border for a long time and faced foreign soldiers, Zhu Jun, who came to the fore by suppressing various rebellions, Obviously has more experience on this issue.
"Then you know, that little guy is the grandson of Li Yan in Xihe, and many of the generals under him were trained by that old guy Tong Yuan. So, to fight against his troops, you and I Those precious little ones under his command are not enough for others to kill. Not to mention the news from Dong'a. Although he is not a civil servant in any profession, he has a strange magic. You should have heard of Tong'a. As the foster father of that guy Yuan, tell me, do you still dare to confront him head-on?"
Zhu Jun was ashamed. Although Zhu Jun, who had been in the south for a long time, didn't know much about the reputations of Tong Yuan and Li Yan, but after hearing so many rumors about them, he would rather believe them, otherwise the nobles under him would If his son was really good or bad, it would be hard for him to explain it to his family, especially since Huangfu Song had already reminded him.
"Then..." Of course, Huangfu Song had already mentioned this, and Zhu Jun also understood what he meant.
"Yes, but I need you to help me cover up after the war. This is also the request of the old guy Tong Yuan."
Zhu Jun agreed without thinking. Anyway, the reason why Huang Fusong was able to persuade Han Emperor Liu Hong to lift the party ban was because he was afraid that the party members whose official careers were imprisoned would defect to the emerging Yellow Turban regime to counterattack the Han Dynasty. Although Li Shushi could not be regarded as a party member. They are people, but they can be regarded as seedlings with a solid foundation, so as long as the Yellow Turban Army is eliminated, it will be enough to do some activities at that time.
"My lord, are you worried about the rations for the officers and soldiers in Changshe City? Then you don't have to be like that."
At this time, a small military meeting was also being held in Li Shushi's tent, because if he didn't want to understand Huangfu Song's intentions, then even if he escaped the fire, he might not be able to escape the backhand of the two cunning generals in the city.
.
However, at this time, there were only a few civil servants including Cheng Yu and the two door gods Dian Wei and Xu Chu in Li Shushi's tent. The others all went out to direct the construction of Li Shushi's camp.
It turned out that when they first arrived at Changshe, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were prepared to just set up a tent according to their usual habits, and asked their guards to add some more for protection. But when they saw Li Shushi's tent in their eyes,
After building a large and complex camp, the two men led their troops into it without saying a word. Li Shushi didn't even need to prepare a defensive formation. Anyway, the two Taoist priests brought their own Taoist regiment.
.
As for Li Shushi's troops, I'm sorry, just keep busy. Anyway, except for these two, no one in the current Yellow Turban Army is qualified to rob Li Shushi's camp. Moreover, Li Shushi is still eager for Bocai's people to come and cause trouble for them.
A very profound lesson. But unfortunately in front of Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, Bo Cai behaved very respectfully and was no longer as arrogant as before.
"First of all, regardless of the size of the county in the Han Dynasty, the chief will have a private treasury. All kinds of taxes collected in previous years will be withheld by those guys. I think the lord is also aware of this part."
Cheng Yu continued to analyze the form of Huangfu Song for Li Shushi, and as for what Cheng Yu said, Li Shushi used it to provide Cheng Yu with popular science education, so how could he not know about it.
"Furthermore, according to the investigation, because the Zhong family, the largest family in Changshe, had made preparations in advance, many powerful people in Changshe transported their family's food and wealth into Changshe City. The wealth accumulated by these families over the past generations is also incredible.
You are underestimating me. My lord seems to know it very well. And with the prestige of the two lieutenant generals and the threat of the Yellow Turban Army, it must not be difficult to get these powerful people with a large amount of supplies to be generous."
Well, Li Shushi was really speechless this time. He knew very well what Cheng Yu said. The only thing he didn't know was the movements of those powerful men. But just because he didn't notice this detail, he didn't find out about Huangfu Song.
rely.
"Furthermore, according to Li's private investigation, it seems that Huangfu Song did not put many troops into the attack that night. It seemed that he just wanted to open a gap so that his soldiers could pass through. With the elite of his men and Zhu Jun's damage, the disabled man was not very seriously injured.
It may be difficult for the army to completely annihilate the tens of thousands of people under Bo Cai, but it is still very easy to cripple them. So why didn't Huangfu Song do that? What's even more suspicious is what did the soldiers who did not participate in the war do
of?"
"Transporting grain?" Li Shushi asked uncertainly, following Cheng Yu's train of thought.
"Who knows? But even if we use one bag of food for each of 30,000 people, it will be enough for the soldiers in the city to last for about a month. If the rations are controlled, it will take longer." Cheng Yu continued to add.
.
"One vigorous effort will lead to failure, and three times it will be exhausted." Li Shushi, who stood on the shoulders of countless giants, expressed the following emotion.
There was silence in the military tent for a moment.
"What's going on? It's so noisy outside."
Just when the atmosphere inside the military tent was quite depressing, a large number of shouts and screams came from outside.
"Sima Sunjian, the assistant commander of General Zhu Youzhonglang of the Han Dynasty, [beep~] Wentai, who among the Yellow Turban bandits dares to fight with me."
Hey, hey, there’s no need to silence him. Even Sun Xwentai is a middle-aged uncle who married a gorgeous lady. His girl is the focus of attention. Looking at a certain person,
Li Shushi said that he had absolutely no feelings of envy, jealousy, or hatred towards the handsome man who wore a battered silver armor, a red headband, a sharp sword in his hand, and a horse with a colorful mane on his hip.
However, a certain temperamental man who just released a full-screen taunt obviously didn't notice that the effect of the skill he released was really great...
