On the day after the conversation with Taishi Ci, Tao Shang personally paid a visit to Kong Rong and proposed to Kong Rong that he wanted to borrow grain, fodder, money and food from subordinates in Beihai County, so that he could defeat Guan Hai of the Yellow Turban Army as quickly as possible.
At this time, Liu Bei was bedridden, Beihai County's ordnance was also insufficient, and Guan Hai occupied Shouguang County and might send troops to attack Yingling City at any time.
Although there are not many men and horses in Guan Hai, there are still many.
He was an extremely famous Yellow Turban army north of the Yellow River. To allow such ferocious savages to occupy his county town and to have strong thieves close to the government office, Kong Rong felt a little scared if he spoke his conscience.
Although he had little contact with the pottery merchant, Kong Rong was still aware of the pottery merchant's defeats of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu.
At this moment, Liu Bei was shot down by Guan Hai with an arrow, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help him solve the problem.
In Kong Rong's mind, perhaps he really had to ask the pottery merchant to help him solve the problem.
Under this situation, Kong Rong followed the pottery merchant's suggestion and asked his subordinates Wang Xiong and Fang Xiu to help him plot against Guan Hai.
…
…
Guan Hai was not very comfortable in Shouguang County at the moment.
The grain in the Shouguang County granary was pitiful, and it was almost used up by Guan Hai's troops. Although Liu Bei shot it down a few days ago due to his carelessness, Guan Hai's life is really not very pleasant at the moment.
.
Seeing that the army rations were about to be exhausted, Guan Hai had no choice but to start making plans to attack other counties.
Just when he was discussing with his Yellow Turban tribe, someone came to report and learned that the counties under Beihai County were transporting this season's grain and taxes to Yingling City.
All counties send grain and grass taxes to Yinglingcheng, the seat of Beihai County? What does this move mean?
Guan Hai didn't quite understand it at first.
Immediately afterwards, Guan Hai suddenly realized.
Kong Rong urgently adjusted the grain and grass taxes in various counties, not for anything else, but definitely to expropriate what he used!
He is expanding his military reserves and is preparing to confront him head-on!
Thinking of this, Guan Hai couldn't help but have a sinister smile on his lips.
How could I let Kong Rong get his wish?
After the plan was decided, Guan Hai immediately dispatched troops and horses, found out the route of the latest grain and tax transport team to Yingling City, and organized the troops and horses to prepare for the robbery!
Hijack the grain and grass taxes you used to deal with me and use them back to you!
Mr. Kong, let me see how you can resist the enemy?!
…
On the official road, the grain trucks and tax vehicles escorted by the subordinate counties of Beihai County were slowly moving towards Yingling City.
The soldiers guarding the vehicles are all the most elite soldiers from the local county government.
After all, it was tax rations for a whole season, so the local county magistrate naturally had to ask his subordinates to carefully monitor the transportation to avoid mistakes on the way.
The team of chariots and horses traveled about two hundred miles away from Yingling City. Guan Hai had already planned to ambush the soldiers and horses, and suddenly came from behind the official road to chase and kill them, rushing towards the grain team to kill the generals.
"Some thieves hijacked the grain truck!"
The soldiers and horses of Beihai County guarding the grain team shouted while approaching the soldiers and horses of Guan Hai's Yellow Turban Army.
When the two sides fought, the performance of these officers and soldiers was extremely poor. They almost retreated as soon as the battle started. If they couldn't be defeated, they immediately ran away without any entanglement with the Yellow Turban Army led by Guan Hai.
The vision of the Yellow Turban Army thieves was basically focused on the grain trucks, and they did not care much about the performance of the officers and soldiers.
After Guan Hai's army seized the grain, grass and baggage, they did not pursue the soldiers of Beihai County. The Yellow Turban soldiers just went crazy and robbed the grain carts, money carts, and the cattle and horses transporting the grain carts.
From ancient times to the present, no matter how good a soldier is, once he begins to hijack things, his formation will inevitably fall into disarray, and his fighting spirit will inevitably drop.
And the current Yellow Turbans who hijack money and food are also the weakest.
The soldiers and horses of Beihai County and the Xuzhou Guard Army led by the pottery merchants were lying in ambush in the mountains and grass not far away, waiting for danger, quietly watching the Yellow Turban Army who were robbing money, food, carriages and horses.
Tao Shang turned to Li Tong and Tai Shici and said: "It's time. We defeated Guan Hai in one fell swoop, and Laowenda and Ziyi are here. This opportunity is rare. Please be sure to complete your work in one battle. You must not let Guan Hai go. If
Let him escape and retreat to Shouguang County. If we want to deal with him again, we don't know when it will be... We need to know that no matter how naive a general is, he will turn into a coward after suffering a serious blow.
.”
Li Tong's face was serious, and his heart was beating slightly.
Except for the specious siege battle against Yan Baihu in Baihu Mountain, this battle can be regarded as his first tough battle under Tao Shang. Whether it is public or private, he will definitely fight a vigorous and beautiful battle.
Achievements.
Li Tong said calmly: "Master Fu, just don't worry!"
Taishi Ci quietly stared at Guan Hai at the bottom of the mountain, his face unusually cold.
My mother's situation in Shouguang County is unknown. If I want to save my mother from danger, I can only defeat Guan Hai here in one battle. No matter whether he is dead or alive, Guan Hai must not be allowed to escape.
Taishi Ci raised the halberd in his hand, touched the precious eagle bow behind him, and suddenly turned around and said: "Please Tao Fujun and Li Xiaowei, assist Fang Gongcao of Beihai County in encircling and suppressing Guan Hai's tribe... Guan
Leave Hai himself to me! Ci Ding should be captured alive."
Li Tong couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't know much about Tai Shi Ci's abilities, so he hesitated and said: "Since Guan Hai is the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in this area, he must have some real skills! Let's fight steadily.
Fang is the best policy. If your horse is in danger, if you can't get rid of Guan Hai, you may easily get yourself into trouble, and the gain outweighs the loss."
Taishi Ci said solemnly: "Ci is just asking Mr. Tao Mansion and Lieutenant Li to believe in me once. My mother is deeply trapped in the enemy's city. If she is not very sure, how can Ci dare to say such a big thing?"
Since ancient times, although it cannot be said that there are no generals among thousands of armies, they are definitely rare. Taishi Ci is currently unknown, so Li Tong naturally cannot trust him.
Then, he turned to look at the pottery dealer inquiringly.
Tao Shang smiled encouragingly at Taishi Ci and said: "I will send someone to notify Fang Xiu of Beihai County and ask him to protect you with our soldiers... Wenda, choose the best of the ten cavalry who are good at rushing, and fight with Taishi Ci.
Let’s do this great thing together.”
A woman looks good for her, and a man dies for his confidant. Tao Shang was able to trust him so much in front of the two armies, which naturally made Taishi Ci feel more moved.
This young Prince Taiping is quite discerning.
He hugged his fist heavily and said to Tao Shang: "After this battle, if Ci can achieve full success, he will definitely repay the Lord for his great virtue."
Tao Shang smiled and raised his hand to block his words: "I can't even speak of a great virtue. If Ziyi can really achieve great achievements...then he agrees to do a small favor for Tao, which will be regarded as repaying his kindness."
…
At this moment, the Yellow Turban Army, who were looting grain and fodder below, suddenly discovered that there was something wrong with the grain and fodder.
A Yellow Turban sergeant hurriedly reported to Guan Hai: "Commander Qu! There is a problem with the grain and grass. The sacks on each vehicle contain not only grain and grass, but also hay mixed in. The two are mixed for some reason!"
"
When Guan Hai heard this, he was suddenly shocked.
hay?
not good!
Although Guan Hai has always been famous among the Yellow Turban Army for his extraordinary bravery, he is not a complete barbarian general. He still understands the art of war to a certain extent.
He immediately understood what loading hay meant!
"No, tell the bastards to retreat quickly!" Guan Hai shouted at the Yellow Turban Primary School while beating his horse.
The problem is, at this moment, everything is already too late.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
In the mountains and forests not far away, countless rockets, under the command of Fang Xiu of Beihai County and Li Tong of the Xuzhou Army, roared toward the grain carts, cattle and horses in the pipeline.
Guan Hai's face suddenly turned pale with shock, and no color could be seen.
