Chapter 80: Voluntary withdrawal of troops without benefit
Kong Rong saw Liu Bei's defeat and retreat, and he immediately called gold, so that the Han army out of the city immediately retreated.
Although Kong Rong sent the Han army to the city with 10,000. But the center of gravity of the entire battlefield has always been on Liu Bei's side.
Kong Rong had the opportunity to let the Han army out of the city withdraw.
But even so, thousands of Han troops out of the city were already damaged.
Although the Yellow Turban Army won the battle, the number of casualties was still higher than that of the Han Army. There are nearly 10,000 people.
If it weren't for Zhao Hui's two thousand elites of Black Wind Village, the Yellow Turban Army would have killed even more, and it would have failed.
Although the number of soldiers damaged in the battle still exceeded that of the Han army, being able to defeat Liu Bei still gave Guan Hai great confidence.
But Zhao Hui knew that this time he was only able to defeat Liu Bei, completely because Liu Bei didn't know that he was here and miscalculated the strength of the Yellow Turban Army.
The next time, when Liu Bei came again, it was not so easy.
Zhao Hui understood that a defeat would never be able to defeat Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was defeated with two hundred soldiers this time, but it wouldn't be long before Liu Bei was able to pull up thousands of soldiers and horses again.
"Thanks to Coach Zhao today, I am willing to take Coach Zhao as the lead from tonight." Guan Hai drank the wine in the pottery bowl in one gulp.
"Are you serious?" Zhao Hui asked.
"It's more real than real gold." Guan Hai Road.
"Okay, I really have something to say to you." Zhao Hui also drank a bowl of wine, but the taste of this wine was not as good as that of Heifeng Village, and it tasted very tasteless.
"Coach Zhao has something to say, as long as I can do it, I will never shirk it." Guan Hai's voice was loud and loud.
Even if Guan Hai didn't say anything before, Zhao Hui still had to say these things.
"I want you to withdraw your troops." Zhao Hui said.
Guan Hai put the wine bowl on the low table: "Withdraw the troops, why do you want to withdraw the troops?" We'll be able to conquer the North Sea in no time. ”
Not only was Guan Hai unknown, but Zhou Cang Pei Yuanshao also didn't understand why Zhao Hui withdrew his troops at this time.
It's just that for Zhao Hui's convincing, they won't say it like Guan Hai.
Guan Hai would have such a reaction, which was all expected by Zhao Hui, and he continued: "Although Liu Bei was defeated today, he will definitely come again. Even if this Beihai City is defeated, it will not be of any benefit, but it will make us the target of public criticism again. ”
What are the benefits of laying down the North Sea?
Zhou Cang and the others had not thought about this problem before, even Guan Hai, who led the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army to attack Beihai, only because of the failure two years ago, wanted to prove himself here again.
Two years ago, it attacked Beihai, it was because Zhang Jiao was still there, and the Yellow Turban Army swept the world, conquered Beihai, and captured the entire Qingzhou.
But what about now?
They conquered Beihai, which was just a lonely city, but when the time came, they had to face it again, and the army sent out by the Han court again.
With a lonely city in the North Sea, can they hold it?
Even so, Guan Hai was still unwilling to withdraw his troops like this, and said: "Then we can also break through the Beihai first and loot before withdrawing." ”
Although he is already the commander of the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, Guan Hai is more of a thief.
Anyway, you can't suffer a loss, you can grab it.
But Zhao Hui and their ideas are different, or rather their ideas are different.
Although in the eyes of the Han court, Zhao Hui was a thief and their enemy.
But Zhao Hui only wanted to overthrow the Han Dynasty and complete Zhang Jiao's will, not to harm ordinary people.
If Guan Hai really indulged his Yellow Turban Army after breaking through Beihai and plundered the city at will, in the end, ordinary people would be the most seriously injured.
The Yellow Turban Army was originally composed of the lowest level of the people, they were originally standing beside these people, and the ordinary people should also support them.
But after the beginning, the Yellow Turban Army did not get the support of the ordinary people, because they did not protect the interests of the ordinary people, and they also robbed themselves, which was even more hateful than the officials of the Han Dynasty.
The officials of the Han Dynasty are more just exploiting, while the Yellow Turban Army is directly robbing.
Since they represent ordinary people, it is natural to safeguard their interests.
Without the support of ordinary people and the recognition of the family, the Yellow Turban Army is just rootless duckweed, how can it succeed.
"We raised troops to rebel because of the oppression of the government, and now that we have our own strength, how can we rob others again, and we must not do this kind of thing again in the future."
Zhao Hui must let Guan Hai understand the truth in this.
All the soldiers of Heifeng Village, when Zhao Hui trained them, in addition to combat training, rules and regulations such as various military regulations, internal affairs regulations, and discipline regulations had been completely instilled into their minds. No soldier is allowed to rob the people of their property without permission.
There is a very strict system of rewards and punishments, and these are completely open and transparent, and every soldier in the Black Wind Village must abide by them.
Although Guan Hai really wanted to break Beihai and walk, he had already released his words before, and he was not the kind of person with a thick face.
After Zhao Hui explained a few words, Guan Hai could only nod in agreement.
The next day, the Yellow Turbans withdrew.
And Kong Rong in Beihai City, after seeing the Yellow Turban Army withdraw, although he didn't know why the Yellow Turban Army was withdrawing, he still couldn't hide a smile on his face.
Beihai has been besieged by the Yellow Turban Army for a month, and there is not much food and grass left in the city.
If the Yellow Turban Army had been surrounded for five more days, the city would have run out of food.
However, Kong Rong still sent spies, worried about whether it was the Yellow Turban Army who was cheating.
It wasn't until it was determined that the Yellow Turban Army had really retreated, and Kong Rong sent a large army out of the city to mobilize grain and grass elsewhere.
Liu Bei, who escaped yesterday, had already started recruiting new soldiers in the nearby city early this morning.
Hearing that the Yellow Turban Army had retreated, he immediately took Guan Zhang and Tai Shi Ci Chaotai to Beihai City.
Although Liu Bei was defeated and fled yesterday, Kong Rong still received Liu Bei very warmly.
"Thank you Xuande, if it weren't for Xuande's arrival yesterday, I'm afraid the Yellow Turban Thief wouldn't have retreated easily."
Although it is not certain why the Yellow Turban Army withdrew, Kong Rong does not mind crediting this credit to Liu Bei.
"Kong Beihai laughed, he was defeated by the Yellow Turban Thief yesterday, and he was very ashamed." Liu Bei said.
Kong Rong said: "Although Xuande was defeated yesterday, he has made the thieves jealous, otherwise the thieves will not retreat." ”
Although Liu Bei was defeated yesterday, the Yellow Turban Army retreated the day after Liu Bei's arrival. It can be said that the Yellow Turban Army took the initiative to withdraw its troops because they were afraid of Liu Bei.
Liu Bei stayed in Beihai for a few more days, and was sure that the Yellow Turban Army would not attack Beihai again, so he returned to Pingyuan County with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Although he came to support Kong Rong this time, there were only two hundred of the more than 2,000 soldiers left, but Liu Bei was not distressed at all. And with the compensation given by Kong Rong, Liu Bei can recruit more soldiers.
Soldiers are dead and can be recruited, but fierce generals, fame is not so easy to obtain.
The 100,000 Yellow Turban Army collected by Guan Hai were almost all dismissed by Zhao Hui. Only more than a thousand people remained.
