In Quyang Zhai County, Bocai, one of the 36 Daqu Shuai, was furious when he heard that the vanguard general Deng Chui had been beheaded, leaving 20,000 Yellow Turban troops to defend the city, and personally led 100,000 troops to attack, intending to take Xinzheng to boost morale.

Among the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, the cavalry was pitifully few, ninety percent were soldiers, and the marching team was so vast that it could not be seen at a glance.

The young man standing on duty on the city wall asked his companions not far away: "Fengxiao, do you say that the moth thief can win?" ”

"Hey, hey, Xu Yuanzhi, pay attention to your words, what is a moth thief can win? Should you say 'can we win'? ”

"Also, we are now the Yellow Turban Rebels, with the lofty ambition of overthrowing the tyranny of the Han royal family and restoring peace to the world. The Han army called us moth thieves, why can't you change it. ”

The young man named Fengxiao is surnamed Guo, with a single name and a Jia character, an authentic native of Yangzhai County, Yingchuan, and is thirteen this year.

And the three-year-old boy next to him is surnamed Xu, his name is Shu, and his name is straight, he is a native of Changshe County, Yingchuan, a good ranger, and quite martial arts.

Both of them were wrapped in yellow scarves and wore coarse linen clothes, so as long as they were not blind, they could recognize their identities at a glance.

At the same time, the two are also extremely good friends, but only on this matter, their views and opinions are diametrically opposed.

In the face of Guo Jia's brainwashing, Xu Shu has always been unswerving, and even persuaded Guo Jia to return to the right path, to help the world, and be loyal to the Han family.

The two are students of Yingchuan Jukudo, and they are very likely to be officials in the future. If it is known that the two of them have quietly joined the moth thief, they will basically bid farewell to their careers in the future.

Guo Jia is unruly and never conformist; Xu Shu also doesn't like to read, he is good at dancing and playing with swords, and he fights for others.

It is precisely because of such a compatible personality that the two have become the best friends.

Hearing the word "career", Guo Jia laughed: "What's so good about joining the office, even if you become an official in the future, you are just a lackey of those people." ”

Xu Shu naturally understood what 'those people' meant. If you don't take the initiative to please those guys, let alone be an official, even if you stay up for a lifetime, you may not be able to be promoted as filial piety.

Having said that, the moth thief is actually quite good, at least he can eat well. Of course, the premise is that you have to shout twice 'the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand'.

Yangzhai is the county of Yingchuan, and there are many wealthy families. They stocked up on grain and meat on weekdays, hoarding Juqi, but unexpectedly ran into the rebellion of moths and thieves, and the grain and grain they had worked hard to accumulate made wedding dresses for others.

The first thing the Yellow Turban Army did when they entered the city was to sack all the mansions, and the heads of the eldest lords and sons who had enslaved them were all cut off.

And the looted food treasure is enough to cover their expenses for half a year.

Looking at the vast army that gradually disappeared from view, Xu Shu chatted: "I heard that a few days ago, the Han army attacked head-on and beheaded Bocai's general Deng Chui. ”

"Heh, if they have such blood, how can they be beaten and lose the county."

Guo Jia was sarcastic, but he knew it in his heart, and the moth thieves seemed to be outnumbered, with millions of numbers. In fact, it is a rabble of a gang of people, and it is difficult to achieve great things.

When Xu Shu asked again about the outcome of this battle, Guo Jia said helplessly: "I also hope that Daqu Shuai can win, and it is best to clean up the scum of those corpse vegetarian meals." ”

Xu Shu has been with Guo Jia for a long time, so he can naturally hear his words. He doesn't like to read, but that doesn't mean that his vision is narrow.

The moth thief was able to win before because the riot was fast enough to seize the opportunity, and once the Han army eased up, it would be difficult to win.

The most important thing is that this group of moth thieves does not distinguish between black and white, so they kill the families and powerful squires from all over the world, leaving no trace of survival.

This made some local forces who originally wanted to be neutral forcibly stand on the side of the Han army and recruit troops for them to fight against the moth thieves.

And these families all over the local states and counties are not only the big moths of the Han Dynasty, but also the pillars of the Han royal family.

Since the February incident, the Yellow Turban Army has been in a state of strength and captured the counties, and now, the Han army is preparing for a counterattack, and the two sides have gradually entered a stalemate.

Among them, the support of the family is indispensable.

"War is never a battle with many people and a small number of people."

Guo Jia stretched his waist and closed the coffin to conclusion: "Three Taoist priests who claim to be 'the sky is dead', with a group of reckless men who can't read a few words, want to seize power and compile the dynasty, although they have courage, but they are also doomed to a tragic ending. ”

The information of the moth thief's invasion was transmitted to Huangfu Song at a speed of a hundred miles.

One hundred thousand moth thieves, not a decimal.

Huangfu Song immediately summoned his generals and the people of the family in the city to come and discuss the strategy.

When the generals heard that the moth thieves were coming, they all geared up and proposed to take the initiative.

They believe that through the big victory a few days ago, the morale of the three armed forces has returned, and they can fight a strong wave head-on.

Conservative scholars believe that the overall situation should be the priority, and sticking to it is the best policy.

To fight, or not to fight?

Huangfu Song pondered his head, his fingers scraping the acupuncture points on his forehead, he was judging, and he was also thinking about the pros and cons.

If you win, the power of the moth thieves in Yingchuan will collapse; If they lose, the moth thieves are likely to capture Xinzheng and attack the capital in one go.

One thought of heaven, one thought of hell.

In his mind, heaven and man were at war, and Huangfu Song suddenly opened his eyes, and there was already a decision in his resolute eyes.

He didn't say anything, but asked Lu Bu below: "Fengxian, what do you think?" ”

Everyone present knew Huangfu Song's answer.

"There is only one battle!"

Lu Bu's answer was sonorous and powerful.

Huangfu Song's eyes flashed with a glint of light, and he shouted 'Okay', and then waved his hand, arrogant: "Take the topographic map!" ”

The generals gathered around the unfolded topographical map, pointing and gossiping, telling their strategic views.

After more than half an hour of negotiation, under the guidance of the Xun family's uncle and nephew many times, Huangfu Song drew up a battle plan.

On the way from Yangzhai to Xinzheng, there was a stream of water, which blocked the traffic between the two places. If you don't want to take a detour, you have to cross the river, and this is the best place to fight.

Half-crossing and striking are often invincible.

Some people are worried that they will not be able to catch up with the water, and they will be preempted by moth thieves.

The far-sighted cavalry lieutenant stood up, he thought that the moth thieves were mostly pawns, and the speed of the march must be hindered and slowed down, and judging from the position on the map, it was obvious that Xinzheng was closer to the water.

In addition, on the left side of the water is the 陉 (xing) mountain, which can take advantage of the unpreparedness of the moth thief, send out surprise soldiers to smuggle across the mountains and forests, pretend to be a defeated moth thief, go to Yangzhai to open the city gate, conquer it in one fell swoop, and recapture the county.

The eyes of the Xun family's uncle and nephew stayed on Cao Cao for a while, which was meaningful.

Huangfu Song thought that this plan was feasible, so he began to mobilize manpower.

Just in case, it is necessary to send a cavalry to go first and occupy the east of the water.

Not surprisingly, Lu Bu became the best candidate.

As for the candidates who led the surprise attack and deceived Yang Zhai, Cao Cao and Sun Jian both expressed their willingness to go.

Huangfu Song thought about it slightly, and then there was a result.

This plan, since it was proposed by Cao Cao, let Cao Cao go.
