Early the next morning, Xu Huang set out on the road to Jibei Kingdom with a thousand soldiers and horses under his command as agreed, escorting many grain and grass supplies.
"Xu Huang, how are you?"
When they arrived at the border of Jibei Kingdom, Ji Ling led his soldiers and horses to follow Xu Huang's plan.
"It's done, Chen Ding's letter of recommendation."
Xu Huang took out Chen Ding's personal recommendation letter from his arms and shook it in the air.
"Haha, I knew you could do it. With this letter of recommendation, we will be the real Yellow Turbans."
Ji Ling looked at the recommendation letter with excitement in his eyes.
"Well, from now on we are the legitimate Yellow Turban bandits, hahahaha."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Three thousand soldiers and horses, led by Ji Ling and Xu Huang, approached Lu County at high speed.
If Yanzhou is in a storm now, Jibei Kingdom is the inner circle in the storm, and Lu County is the eye of the storm in the middle. Whoever can win the Yellow Turban of Lu County will have the capital and reputation to unify Yanzhou.
Cao Hong, Li Dian, Xiahou Dun and Yue Jin led Xun Yu with a hundred cavalry to guard Xun Yu and came to a low mountain.
Looking at the continuous Yellow Turban camp in the distance, everyone couldn't help but frown.
They say that the Yellow Turbans are just a mob, but in addition to the main force of 400,000, the Yellow Turbans also have hundreds of thousands of old, young, women and children. Faced with a camp of nearly one million Yellow Turbans, no matter who they are, will be shocked.
"military adviser."
Li Dian looked at Xun Yu. He really didn't know how to fight this battle. Not only Li Dian, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and Le Jin were also the same.
"Let's go back first."
Xun Yu looked at the sky, said nothing, turned around and returned to his camp.
Returning to the camp, the generals took their seats.
"I also saw the Yellow Turban camp today and talked about Fa Ba and Yuan Rang."
After reading it, I was shocked. Now it’s time to use my brain.
"Military advisor, the Yellow Turban troops are quite large. I guess their defense against outsiders must not be deep. If we mobilize all our troops and make a surprise attack overnight, we will definitely be able to catch them off guard."
After Xiahou Dun thought for a moment, a ray of light flashed in his eyes.
"Well, it would be a good idea to attack the Yellow Turbans at night, Zi Lian."
Xun Yu looked at Cao Hong.
"Military advisor, I think Yuan Rang's plan is feasible. Our new army has arrived, and the Yellow Turbans must not have noticed it. It would be a good idea to attack at night."
Cao Hong thought for a moment and agreed with Xiahou Dun's strategy.
"Wen Qian."
Xun Yu then looked at Le Jin aside.
"Commander, although General Xiahou's night attack strategy is feasible, it is too risky. If you break into the enemy's position and fail to cause chaos, you will be in danger of being surrounded by them, and you will be in trouble."
Happy to be on the safe side, although the night attack is likely to be successful, it is not completely certain.
"It's just the Yellow Turbans, Le Jin, you think too highly of them."
When Xiahou Dun heard that Yue Jin rejected his plan, he couldn't help but defend himself.
"Le Jin is just discussing the matter. If I offend the general, please forgive me."
Who is Xiahou Dun? He is a kinsman of Cao Cao, so Le Jin will not cause trouble in such trivial matters.
"you."
"Okay, Yuan Rang, Manchester City, please tell me your opinion."
Xun Yu frowned, stopped drinking Xiahou Dun, and then glanced at Li Dian.
"Military advisor, I think what Yue Xiaowei said is true. There are many Yellow Turban soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to defeat them all at once. As the saying goes, if you don't kill a snake, you will suffer its consequences. I think the best strategy is to take measures slowly."
Li Dian also disagreed with Xiahou Dun's night attack strategy.
"Yuan Rang, if you were to lead the entire army in a night attack, how sure would you be to defeat the Yellow Turbans? What I want is a true assessment."
Xun Yu looked at Xiahou Dun seriously.
"At least 90% sure."
Xiahou Dun directly gave his answer without thinking.
"Ninety percent? Are you 90% sure that the Yellow Turbans, which have less than 40,000 troops and a main force of 400,000, are attacking?"
Xun Yu couldn't help but glare at Xiahou Dun.
"Okay, 70%."
Xiahou Dun couldn't help but scratch his head.
"Wen Qian, how confident are you that you can defeat the Yellow Turbans?"
Xun Yu couldn't help but shook his head and pointed his gaze at Le Jin.
"If I were to lead a night attack, my chances of success would be less than 50%."
Le Jin gave his opinion directly without hesitation.
"Fifty percent? I don't think I'm even 10% sure."
Xun Yu directly said something that shocked everyone.
"Military advisor, why do you say that? Even Le Jin said he was 50% sure. Why do you say that?"
Xiahou Dun couldn't help but stare at Xun Yu and spoke to Xun Yu.
"Yuan Rang, please don't be rude and listen to the military advisor's explanation."
Cao Hong grabbed Xiahou Dun, fearing that this reckless guy would do something stupid.
"The four of you only considered the strength of us and the Yellow Turbans. If we really attack at night, the chance of success is at least 40%.
But have you ever considered that in addition to us, the Jibei Kingdom also has two tiger generals, Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu. If you attack the Yellow Turbans secretly and wait until the end of the battle, and they lead their troops to fight out, how will you be able to resist them?"
Xun Yu's words directly caused the four of them to fall into silence. Indeed, in the Jibei Kingdom, not only himself and the Yellow Turbans, but also Liu Bei's 40,000 to 50,000 troops and horses had to be guarded against.
"Forgive me, military advisor, it was Xiahou Dun who was impulsive just now."
Xiahou Dun was a man who acknowledged his mistakes. Knowing that Xun Yu meant no harm just now, he clasped his fists and apologized to him.
"It doesn't matter. If you want to defeat the Yellow Turban, you must first investigate Cheng Yu's movements. Secondly, the Yellow Turban is powerful and it will definitely not work if you fight head-on. Therefore, you must borrow external force, Xiahou Dun."
"exist."
"Go northwest. I want to know Cheng Yu's location within three days."
"promise."
"Li Dian."
"exist."
"You lead a hundred cavalry and follow me around Lu County."
"promise."
"Cao Hong, Le Jin."
"exist."
"exist."
"Le Jin holds the camp while Cao Hong leads the troops to clean up the surrounding area. I don't want to see any enemy spies within ten miles."
"promise."
"promise."
"If nothing happens, just do your own thing."
"promise,"
After all the generals left, only Li Dian remained outside the tent.
"Man City, let's go."
After a while, Xun Yu came out of the tent, took Li Dian and a hundred cavalry out of the camp and walked towards the north of Lu County.
"Military advisor, why don't you send light cavalry to fly in and divide your troops to harass?"
Li Dian rode next to Xun Yu and couldn't help but ask him.
"Manchester City, everyone knows the truth of hitting a snake with seven inches. The yellow scarves in front of them have nearly a million dollars. What is their heart is food, grass and baggage, but these are not a burden to them now.
Along the way, the Yellow Turbans not only plundered most of Qingzhou, but also half of Taishan County, half of Jibei Kingdom, and the grain and grass brought by Liu Dai, which became their nourishment.
If we could find the place where they stored their baggage and food and burn it, then the battle would be certain. But in a vast camp with nearly a million people, it would be so easy to find the baggage.
Therefore, if the flying cavalry rushes in and separates the troops to attack, not only may the effort be in vain, but the fighter plane will also be lost, leading to the fall of Lu County."
