Chapter 404 Zhang Mancheng comes, Yun Kuang’s plan
Even if he took the overall situation into consideration and because of his special status, he immediately sent troops to rescue after receiving the news. It was not an easy task to reach Yuancheng from Jiangling, the capital of Jingzhou.
Because there are fewer people with them, they are just filling up the vast sea of Yellow Turban bandits. If they have enough people with them, they must attack cities and plunder lands along the way and recapture the lost cities, so as to ensure their own retreat.
In this case, it would be difficult to complete the rescue mission in less than a month. As the person said, Chu Xuan did not think that a famous general like Yun Kuang would not be prepared for this.
As for the army in Yuzhou, Changshui Captain Cao Cao has a good relationship with his lord Wang Yu, and may be able to serve as reinforcements. However, Yuzhou is now in a precarious situation, and there are no troops left to support Yuancheng.
However, Chu Xuan will definitely not tell these things. As long as Chu Gong, the governor of Nanyang, does not fall and the morale of Yuancheng is still there, he will have a way to deal with it.
But the question is, even if he has great power, how long can he survive? Can he really persist until...the day when reinforcements arrive?
Chu Xuan didn't know the answer, and all he could do now was persevere.
As for Chu Gong, after receiving a bowl of chicken soup for the soul from Chu Xuan, his confidence suddenly increased, so after briefly asking about the battle that had just occurred, he asked Chu Xuan and Huang Zhong to go down and rest.
……………
As a guest army, Chu Xuan naturally had a room arranged by Chu Gong. However, in order to better establish a good relationship with Huang Zhong, he did not stay in the house arranged by Chu Gong, but stayed in Huang Zhong's home.
Chu Xuan originally thought that Huang Zhong was just from an ordinary family, but after he had in-depth exchanges, he found out that he was actually of the same clan as Huang Chengyan, and came from the Huang family, one of the six aristocratic families in Jingzhou.
Of course, Huang Zhong was only from a side line, not the main line, but even so, his family background was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
For example, in Yuancheng, there is Huang Zhong's ancestral home. Although it is not very big, it is more than enough to accommodate Chu Xuan. For the next strategic response, Zhao Pusheng was also pulled over by Chu Xuan.
Every night, they discuss matters for tomorrow.
Huang Zhong was still a warrior himself. Even if he had an unpleasant quarrel with Chu Xuan in the Prefect's Mansion, he still pretended that nothing happened as soon as he left the Prefect's Mansion.
After all, the latter was not a fool. After Chu Xuan mentioned it, he had obviously thought of these possibilities. In this way, after Huang Zhong left the prefect's mansion, he went to the west gate and called Zhao Pusheng, and they went back together to discuss the next strategy.
.
According to original historical records, Huang Zhong's wife was Liu Zhen, the daughter of Liu Biao's eldest brother. Because her parents died early, she was not favored by Liu Biao and was left in You County.
When Liu Biao was serving as the shepherd of Jingzhou, Huang Zhong was appointed Zhonglang General, and he followed his nephew Liu Pan to garrison in You County, Changsha. In order to win over Huang Zhong, Liu Pan married Liu Zhen to him.
In this era, Huang Zhong's wife was naturally not her, but a small family from Jingxiang. The couple had a son and daughter, the man was called Huang Xu, and the woman was the legendary Huang Wudie.
Huang Xu is twelve years old this year, but because of his sickly appearance, he looks like an eight or nine-year-old child. However, perhaps this child's talent is too high, which is why he is jealous of God.
Although Huang Xu is young, he is very powerful. Even Chu Xuan was moved by him when he saw him for the first time. He can only be said to be a hero.
But it was because Huang Xu's talent was too strong that he became a jealous person. Even God was jealous of his talent because he had a congenital disease.
Although Chu Xuan didn't know what it was, he knew that if it couldn't be treated in time, Huang Xu wouldn't live long at all.
However, it was precisely because of this that Chu Xuan was given a chance, because there was no cure for such a disease, but it was just too difficult to find someone who could cure it.
Looking at the current Han Dynasty, in Chu Xuan's opinion, only Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, and Wang Teng can heal. Their transcendent status in this world means that Huang Zhong has no way to seek help even if he wants to.
However, Chu Xuan is different. His lord Wang Yu is the son of Wang Teng. As long as he is willing to help, it is no problem.
It is precisely because of Huang Xu's medium that the relationship between the two people will become faster and better, which makes Huang Zhong want to see Wang Yu more and more, and meet the shocking God of War through him.
……………
at night.
In a small house in Huang Zhong's home.
Chu Xuan, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Pusheng sat on the chairs and began to think about the next strategy.
"General Huang, our army has been fighting with the Yellow Turban Army outside the city for so long, but we have ignored a very important person." Just as a few people were talking, Chu Xuan suddenly said, his face full of solemnity.
.
"A very important person, Brother Qingtian, who are you referring to?" Huang Zhong asked suddenly confused.
However, since Chu Xuan was able to show such a solemn look, this person was definitely not simple, and Huang Zhong on the side began to become cautious.
"Zhang Mancheng." Chu Xuan spat out three words, which made Huang Zhong look stunned because he had never heard of this person before.
Seeing Huang Zhong's expression, Chu Xuan knew that he didn't understand Zhang Mancheng, and immediately explained: "Zhang Mancheng, one of Zhang Jiao's disciples, is very good at deceiving people. I suspect that the real elite of the Yellow Turban are still in his hands.
I have never been on the battlefield."
"If my prediction is correct, he will be here soon."
Although Zhang Mancheng's ability is not that outstanding among the Yellow Turban Army, his reputation among the Yellow Turban Army is not low. Once he comes to the Yuancheng battlefield, I am afraid he will not come alone.
Chu Xuan didn't believe that he had only recruited these 200,000 people after hiding in Nanyang for so long.
That's right, it's just a mob.
If this Yellow Turban Army was a normal force, Yuancheng would have been captured by Yun Kuang long ago. Even a strong general like Zhao Pusheng would be hard-pressed to turn the tide.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, under the terrifying crowds of Yellow Turban Army, the Han army in the city was too small.
At the same time, the Yellow Turban Army was inside the main tent.
The coach Yun Kuang is sitting at the top of the table, and the person below him is a burly middle-aged general. Judging from Yun Kuang's posture, he also has special respect for him, so you can guess that this person is not someone else.
This middle-aged general looks very ordinary, with a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes. The first impression given to people is that he is an ordinary farmer.
But even such a peasant made Yun Kuang treat him with courtesy, because the middle-aged general in the big tent was none other than the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang and even Jingzhou, a disciple of the great sage Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Mancheng, one of the sixteen canal commanders!
Being able to be accepted as a disciple by Zhang Jiao also shows his ability to a certain extent.
Of course, this ability is not necessarily the ability to lead an army in a war. It is also an ability to sit in the rear and be responsible for preaching in various places in Jingzhou, and to a certain extent, it is even more important than leading an army in a war.
For example, in the battle of Nanyang, if Zhang Mancheng had not taken the overall situation into consideration, made arrangements from the center, and sent food and grass to the battlefield in time, so many Yellow Turban troops would have collapsed long ago.
It can be said that he worked hard to pull up the Yellow Turban Army in the northern area of Jingzhou. Even when Zhang Jiao asked him to follow Yun Kuang's arrangements, he did not get into trouble, but was very cooperative.
It is precisely because of this that Yun Kuang respects him very much.
Zhang Mancheng's arrival outside Yuancheng was naturally arranged by Yun Kuang, so that the latter thought that Yuancheng had been captured. However, when he led the soldiers of the Guard Battalion to rush outside Yuancheng, he discovered that Yuancheng had actually
Still under the control of officers and soldiers,
This made Zhang Mancheng very puzzled.
He is very clear about Yun Kuang's ability. Although the latter has a arrogant temper, he has the ability to be arrogant. It can be said that among the Yellow Turban Army today, Yun Kuang's fighting ability is also one of the best.
Although the siege army led by Yun Kuang this time were ordinary people and had not received much training, even so, they should not be able to be dealt with by the Han army.
"General Yun, as far as I know, there are not many defenders in Yuancheng. Except for a Han army of 20,000 people who suddenly came half a month ago, there have been no other fresh troops since then, but our army has 200,000 troops.
.”
"In such a disparity situation, with your ability, even if you are commanding these ordinary people who have not undergone long training, you should not have taken them down until now. This is not like your style!"
Although there was no accusation against Yun Kuang in Zhang Mancheng's words, his words were full of accusations, which made Yun Kuang feel ashamed.
After all, a small garden city took him more than twenty days. If he could take it down, that would be fine. In terms of the result, it would still be good.
But the key point is that he didn't. In more than twenty days, not only did he not achieve any results, but he lost more than 90,000 people one after another, leaving only more than 100,000 people in the 200,000-strong army.
This makes Yun Kuang, who has always been proud, a little hard to accept.
At this time, as a military advisor, Qian Zhong saw Yun Kuang's depressed mood and immediately stood up and said, "Shuai Zhang Qu doesn't know something. Before this battle started, we underestimated Chu Gong, the governor of Nanyang."
"When our army launched an uprising, this man decisively strengthened the walls and cleared the country, and moved all the people, soldiers, and generals from counties far away from Yuancheng to Yuancheng."
"In addition, he also organized and trained these people into an army to prepare for emergencies. Because of this, he was able to persist until reinforcements arrived even when Nanyang was losing ground one after another."
"And this group of reinforcements is the biggest reason why our army failed to capture Nanyang."
After hearing Qian Zhong's explanation, Zhang Mancheng suddenly felt that there was something he didn't know, especially the support army. It seemed that it was not as simple as he imagined.
"Military advisor, what's wrong with this support army? It's rare that only these 20,000 people can defeat my 200,000-strong army?" Zhang Mancheng still asked a little puzzled, so he asked this question.
"It's naturally impossible for an ordinary army, but what if the owner of this army is that person far away in Bingzhou, Guannei Hou Wang Yu, until now, he has not really taken action."
As Qian Zhong finished speaking, Zhang Mancheng was also speechless, because the strength of the Bingzhou Army had been revealed on the battlefield.
On the Qingzhou battlefield, as Qin Xu commanded the Yanmen Army to join the battlefield, Huang Chao's offensive was suddenly hindered. So far, Huang Chao had only taken one-third of the sixty-five counties of Qingzhou, two counties, and four countries.
Although Huang Chao was resourceful, Qin Xu was even more scheming and had great prestige among the Han army. Since he arrived at the Qingzhou battlefield, the local armies in Qingzhou seemed to have a backbone.
Under such circumstances, Huang Chao's offensive efficiency was naturally greatly weakened.
The battlefield in Youzhou is not that easy to fight. Zhang Xun, the governor of Zhuo County, is only average in ability, but his two sons are not ordinary people.
In addition, there are several generals left by Wang Yu in Zhuojun. Even Liu Haitian, who has recently emerged in the Yellow Turban Army, has nothing to do with them. So far, Zhuojun still has several cities.
These characters are just Wang Yu's scattered subordinates, but their abilities are so difficult to deal with. If the Bingzhou Army in northern Xinjiang wins the Battle of Hetao, just by virtue of being in the Yellow Turban Army, they can really resist such a lion.
?
If it were before the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Mancheng would definitely say that the soldiers will stop him and the water will cover him, but now, he suddenly lost his confidence. In the final analysis, the opponent is too strong.
Just when Zhang Mancheng was already lost in his thoughts, Yun Kuang suddenly stood up and said in a sonorous voice: "Senior brother, today is different from the past. In today's battle, I, the coach, was indeed too careless."
"I didn't expect that Huang Zhong had such a masterful shooting skill that General Ji Wenyuan was shot dead by him and the North Gate defenders were leaderless. Only then did he seize the opportunity."
"Just now, the military adviser analyzed it and found that the enemy was taking advantage of this blind spot and deliberately used this blind spot to make our army think that Huang Zhong, a strong general, was trapped, so they could concentrate their efforts boldly to attack the city."
"Then, after defeating our army at the north gate, there will be an internal and external pincer attack."
"This strategy is indeed powerful, and everyone is included in it. However, there is only one chance."
When Yun Kuang said this, a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes, he slowly came to the sand table, and then pulled out the sword from his waist, just in time to cut a symbol on the sand table into two halves, and the symbol on the sand table was chopped by Yun Kuang.
This thing happens to be the current location of Yuancheng.
"After these days of fighting, the troop training plan has been completed. We only need to wait for the arrival of the army of Zhang Qushuai, the envoy of God, to launch a general attack on Nanyang."
"Next, each unit will take advantage of this rare opportunity to rest and train their troops. When the army arrives, it will be the day for our army to take revenge."
"All his efforts were accomplished in one battle, and he captured the important place of Yuancheng in one fell swoop."
Yun Kuang's words were resounding and immediately made the blood of everyone present boil.
Just when Yun Kuang and the others were formulating an attack plan in the Chinese army's tent, the battle in Zhuo County in Youzhou also began to unfold. If you like The Invincible World Summoned by the Late Han Dynasty, please save it: (www.sodu777.
