Chapter 118: Valley City

Pei Yuanshao angrily led the remnants of the army to chase all the way, and when he arrived at the Yinshan camp, he saw the messy camp tent and the empty grain house, and looked up to the sky with grief and indignation.

"Cao thief...... You deceive people too much! ”

"Poof~~"

New hatred and old hatred were intertwined, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Pei Yuanshao completely fainted.

Everyone was in a panic again, shouting and screaming, and finally Mr. Li sighed with a disillusioned face, pinched Pei Yuanshao's benevolence, and sprayed a few mouthfuls of cold water, which saved Pei Yuanshao, who was in a hurry.

"Mr. ......"

Mr. Li shook his head and said, "It's gone, it's gone, more than half of the people and horses have been lost, and the grain has been looted by the Cao army, and now it's ......."

Pei Yuanshao lay down weakly, struggled hard, hesitated for a long time, and said unwillingly: "Withdraw!" Go find Big Brother! ”

After saying this, Pei Yuanshao seemed to have been drained of all his strength and completely paralyzed.

The 30,000 Yellow Turban elite army has now been damaged by themselves, and hundreds of stones of grain and grass have been looted by the Cao army.

Myself...... What else is there to see the eldest brother Zhou Cang! What kind of face do you have to meet the saint!

……

Cao Hong placed the army in Gucheng, and before he had time to rest, he was dragged by Ning Rong to inspect the surrounding environment, Gucheng is just a county seat, and the city walls are not high, but fortunately, it is still thick.

"Whew...... Zilian, what do you think of this valley city? ”

"Well~~ The pattern is too small, however, the victory is in a special geographical location, but ...... The inner city will be broken in ten days! ”

Cao Hong casually pulled down a piece of grass and stood on the top of Xiaowang Mountain looking up at Gucheng.

"What do you mean?" Ning Rong asked with a smile.

"What? Zhiyuan really thinks that Hong is a simple-minded martial artist with well-developed limbs? ”

Cao Hong pursed his lips, looked at Ning Rong, and said, "You bullied Pei Yuanshao to death, and put yourself in Gucheng, don't you want to use yourself as bait to lure the Yellow Turban thieves to gather here?" ”

"You know?" This time it was Ning Rong's turn to be surprised, he suddenly found that none of the fierce generals who could survive the Three Kingdoms were fools.

"Cut! How fresh! Cao Hong shrugged, learning from Ning Rong's bad habits, his empty expression and his original arrogance were really vividly expressed.

"The Yellow Turban thieves are rogues, they don't know the art of war, they don't know strategy, they have never been headless and brainless in war, they have a stick in the east and a hammer in the west, they will fight if they have fought, and they will run if they can't beat them!

They never attacked cities and built city defenses, which is why it was difficult for officers and soldiers to exterminate them! ”

Ning Rong leaned against the big tree and nodded with a sigh.

"Yes! This is the advantage of the Yellow Turban Thieves, now the depth of the Yellow Turban Thieves is too large, they have two countries and four counties to roam, if they want to completely eliminate them at one time, they can only let them give up their own advantages, come out, gather under this valley city, and at that time, they can destroy the Yellow Turban in one go! ”

"However, have you ever thought that there are 300,000 yellow scarves under Zhou Cang's command, and we ...... Only three thousand? Cao Hong shook three fingers in front of Ning Rong's eyes and said, "Do you think you can wipe out 300,000 yellow scarves?" ”

"No, you don't! These people can make you kill for ten days and a half even if they stand still, my purpose is ...... Let him surrender! Force them to surrender! ”

Ning Rong clenched his fists tightly and stared at Cao Hong with firm eyes.

"......" Cao Honghu didn't speak.

"What? Unbelief! Didn't you say that you could resist the Yellow Turban Thief for ten days? ”

"Yes! But ......"

"No, but!" Ning Rong waved his hand suddenly: "Zilian, you see, although there are four gates in Gucheng, the west gate is the most narrow, and there is Xiaoqing River outside, and few people pass, if you want to come, five hundred people are enough to guard it!" And on the north and south sides are the slopes of the hills, each with 2,000 men to guard them, and as for the east gate...... At least 3,000 men are needed to defend against the Yellow Turbans! ”

Speaking of the east gate, Ning Rong knocked on his head with a headache, this place is the most troublesome, there is an empty space outside the east gate, there is not even a moat, Xu is the person who built this city back then had a convulsion in his head, he has not experienced war, and he thinks that everything will be fine if he builds a city on two hills.

What the?

500 at the west gate, 2,000 at the south gate, 2,000 at the north gate, and at least 3,000 at the east gate?

This...... That's 7,500 people, okay?

Cao Hong snapped his fingers and looked at Ning Rong stupidly, Zhiyuan is talking nonsense, right?

"Zhiyuan, isn't it possible to sprinkle beans into soldiers?" Cao Hong gritted the back of his teeth and asked, if this is the case, he will never fight again in his life!

"Scattering beans into soldiers? Fart! ”

Ning Rong was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Oh! There are a lot of big families in the valley city, who doesn't have a hundred and eighty guards, mobilize these people in the city to defend the city, don't say seven thousand, even ten thousand! ”

"There are many selfish people in the big family, but I am afraid that the idea of Zhiyuan will be difficult to realize!"

Cao Hong understands the nature of the family better than Ning Rong, these people would rather die with their wealth than damage their own interests, and the family is more important to them than anything else.

"Don't worry! As long as I know them with affection and reason, they will definitely be influenced by me! Ning Rong said eagerly, he was most willing to do the matter of reasoning and laying out the facts.

Cao Hong pursed his lips, silently turned his head away, and did not speak.

……

Overnight, the people of Gucheng suddenly found that there were many more soldiers wearing black armor on the street, and even the guards at the gate of the county government were replaced by black armor soldiers.

It wasn't until they saw the huge banner of Cao on the head of the city that they realized that this was the army sent by the new Yanzhou Assassin Cao Gong.

I heard that they are here to fight the Yellow Turban Thieves!

When it comes to the Yellow Turban Thief, everyone has shown hatred and contempt, the current reputation of the Yellow Turban Thief has long been stinky, and he is no longer the soldier who rescued the people.

To be able to drive away the locust army, they are naturally willing.

But...... Soon, there was a gust of gossip in Gu City.

I don't know which well-informed person overheard the news in the county town, the yellow turban thief heard that the people of Gucheng had grain and wanted to come to grab it.

This is the case! The people of Gucheng believe it, because that's what the Yellow Turban Thieves have done all these years!

As a result, the people of the whole valley city were panicked, and everyone bought grain one after another, so that the price of grain in the city rose again and again, and later it was as high as two yuan and one stone.

……

County office.

"Word has spread?"

"Spread it, and the entire Gucheng people know that the Yellow Turban Thief is coming!"

"That's good!" Ning Rong showed a hint of smugness.

"But......" Cao An looked at Ning Rong and Cao Hong hesitantly.

"Say! What's the matter? Cao Hong's face sank and said.

"General Hui, sir, the people of Gucheng are panicking, and everyone is rushing to buy food, and the grain has risen to two yuan and one stone!"

"Damn it!" Cao Hong's face turned blue in an instant.
