Although Xu Huang saw through Xun Yu's arrangement, he was powerless at the moment because he was just a new recruit in the Yellow Turbans. It would be good if he could manage his own three-acre land, let alone change the situation of the war.
"Well, I'll make arrangements right away."
Ji Ling nodded. Now is not the time for idle chatter. Execution is the most important thing.
"I want to go see our Commander-in-Chief Guan Cheng, and give me some advice. If we can reduce the losses a little, we will be more relaxed."
Although you can't change anything, you can still make some suggestions.
"Okay, take care of yourself."
As soon as they finished speaking, Xu Huang and Ji Ling separated into two groups. Ji Ling was responsible for contacting and commanding the troops under his command, while Xu Huang finally arrived outside Guan Cheng's tent after many rounds of questioning.
"I want to see the commander-in-chief. I have something important to report."
Xu Huang looked at the dense crowd of guards outside the door and spoke to the yellow scarf responsible for guarding them.
"Who are you? What do you want to see the commander in chief for?"
The guard frowned when he saw the majestic Xu Huang.
"My name is Xu Huang. I was introduced by Chen Ding from Licheng. I have something important to report to the commander-in-chief."
Xu Huang looked at the frowning guard commander and directly showed Chen Ding's recommendation letter.
"Chen Ding, the young commander from Licheng? The commander is still resting. If you have anything to do, come back tomorrow."
When the captain heard that Xu Huang was introduced by Chen Ding, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously.
"Um?"
Looking at the expression of Chief Wei, Xu Huang couldn't help but frowned.
"What's wrong? Leave quickly."
Seeing Xu Huang frowning, the captain looked impatient.
"That's all, I'll leave a letter for you to give to the marshal tomorrow. I'm sure he will see me after reading it."
Since you don't see me, there's nothing I can do.
Xu Huang borrowed pen and paper and secretly wrote his guess in the letter, then handed it to the guard captain, turned around and returned to his camp.
"Hmph, the person introduced by a little turtle still wants to meet the commander-in-chief, maybe in his next life."
After receiving the letter from Xu Huang, the Wei Chief opened the letter.
"You want the commander to be careful about the enemy building a dam upstream and attacking with water? It's a joke."
After reading it, the guard commander directly threw Xu Huang's letter into the charcoal basin, then turned around and walked to the nearby tent to rest. He didn't know that his delay had directly cost the lives of countless yellow turbans.
At dawn, the much-anticipated heavy rain finally started falling, with a continuous crash. There was no other sound between heaven and earth, only the sound of rain hitting the ground.
"Xu Shang."
Xiahou Dun looked at the heavy rain falling from the sky, and his eyes couldn't help but look like the moon.
"exist."
"Bring me the cavalry again, and the harassment cannot stop, otherwise I'm afraid the anger will be extinguished by the rain again."
"General."
Hearing Xiahou Dun's words, Xu Shang's face instantly changed. He wanted to send troops in such a heavy rain.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Anyone who dares to wait passively will be dealt with by military law."
"promise."
When Xu Shang heard that Xiahou Dun actually mentioned the military law, he immediately felt the seriousness of the situation. Without any explanation, he led the cavalry out again in the heavy rain.
"What? Here we go again?"
When Qu Lin heard that Xu Shang had brought cavalry to attack again, he couldn't help but ignited the fire, and surrounded him with his troops, but what was waiting for them was still corpses all over the ground.
In this way, under the continuous harassment and fighting, the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army led by Qu Lin was going crazy, and their anger reached its peak.
Just as they were waiting patiently for Xu Shang to appear, Xu Shang's cavalry went into rest under the command of Xiahou Dun and did not appear all day.
The heavy rain lasted for two days and two nights, and the Yellow Turban siege of Lu County was temporarily suspended. However, instead of increasing the water volume of the originally gentle Jishui River, it became shallower.
At dawn on the third day, the sky finally cleared up, and Xun Yu sniffed the earthy, fragrant air.
"Prepare to attack, inform Xiahou Dun, and the strategy of killing with a borrowed knife can begin."
"promise."
Xun Yu gave an order, and the already prepared 20,000 troops and the 8,000 soldiers and horses sent by Li Dian, a total of 28,000 people, marched on the muddy ground towards the Yellow Turban army. At the same time, Xun Yu received
Xiahou Dun, who had the command, led nearly ten thousand troops and took the lead in launching the attack.
"Xiao Shuai, the army is here, here it is."
When Xiahou Dun arrived, Qu Lin, who was already prepared, immediately got the news.
"Mother, I ordered all the soldiers and horses to be gathered. I must take them down."
Qu Lin flipped up the table in front of him, took out the steel knife from his waist, and strode outside.
Since the hatred had reached its peak, Qu Lin's troops responded quickly. More than 40,000 and nearly 50,000 troops gathered as quickly as possible, and under the leadership of Qu Lin, launched an attack on Xiahou Dun's troops.
Xiahou Dun's soldiers and horses were very powerful. The Yellow Turban Army cried out for their fathers and killed one or two thousand people as soon as they encountered them. However, the Yellow Turban Army was also very strong this time and continued to surround them despite casualties.
"withdraw."
Seeing that the set goal had been achieved, he no longer had the need to continue the attack, so Xiahou Dun gave the order and his troops followed him to retreat towards Pingyindu.
"Xiao Shuai, the officers and soldiers have escaped."
Xiahou Dun turned around and retreated, and Huang Jin immediately reported the situation to Qu Lin.
"Chase, chase them to the end of the world, but you must leave them behind for me."
Hearing that Xiahou Dun was about to run away, how could Qu Lin let him get his wish? With a wave of his hand, he led more than 40,000 yellow scarves to follow him, chasing after him desperately.
Both sides were chasing each other and soon left the Yellow Turban camp.
"Commander, Commander Qu Lin left the team and went after the army."
As soon as Qu Lin's 50,000 troops left, the Yellow Turbans reported to Guan Hai and others.
"Send my military order and ask them to come back immediately."
When Guan Hai heard that they actually broke away from the main force and pursued the enemy, he immediately frowned and ordered them to return.
"promise."
Huang Jin rode his horse to Qu Lin's troops and announced Guan Hai's order to him.
"It's impossible to go back. This time, even if I risk my life, I will capture this group of officers and soldiers. Take him away and continue the pursuit."
Qu Lin, however, did not accept Guan Hai's tactics and finally had a chance to capture Xiahou Dun. If he retreated now, he would rather die.
In this way, under Xiahou Dun's gradual temptation, Qu Lin and the Yellow Turban soldiers under his command slowly marched towards Pingyin Ferry. This was the obstacle that Xun Yu had prepared for the imaginary Cheng Yu, a city wall made of the Yellow Turbans' flesh and blood.
Xun Yu came across the formation with nearly 30,000 elite troops, facing directly the main force of more than 300,000 Yellow Turbans.
"Commander, officers and soldiers have been found in the direction of Jishui, and they are heading towards us. The number is not yet clear."
The scouts were vague when reporting the number of Xun Yu's troops and horses, because Xun Yu used a strategy of disturbing the enemy during the march, sending a thousand cavalry behind with horse tails tied to tree branches to run non-stop, creating the illusion of a large number of troops and horses.
"Instruct Zhang Li to lead an army of 50,000 to meet the enemy. The remaining troops will continue to attack Lu County. I will drink in Lu County no matter what today."
Lu County is the hardest nut he has encountered in such a long time of fighting, but today, no matter how hard it is, he will take Lu County.
