Chapter 52: The Holy Maiden

Dongping country.

Potholes, on the official road in disrepair, an army that stretches for miles marches nervously and solemnly among the wilderness, and the whirring Caozi banner represents the identity of this army.

Cao Cao rode the claw yellow flying lightning, carried the sword of Yitian, and wore a black cloak trimmed with gold wire, raising his eyes and looking forward to it, his fighting spirit was high, and a domineering spirit of dominating the world spontaneously appeared.

Looking at the weeds on both sides of the official road, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion is raging like a flow of poison, and the disasters are endless. ”

"The lord is worried about the people, it is the blessing of Yanzhou, but it is just ......" I saw a middle-aged man with a resolute face full of armor and a heavy heart looking at Cao Cao, and said in a long voice.

"Alas~~ Yuncheng why do you have to be like this, you and I have been friends for many years, we are like brothers, I have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Cao Cao waved his hand very generously.

Bao Xin saw that his expression was natural, and he still treated himself as sincerely as he had for many years, so he let go of his worries and said: "The Yellow Turban thieves attacked Yanzhou from Qingzhou, Shanyang County, Rencheng County, Jibei Kingdom, and Dongping Kingdom, all of which have been occupied by the Yellow Turbans, and the thieves are very powerful, there are 100,000 people, it is better to avoid their edges, and the walls are clear, and the Yellow Turbans will be defeated without a fight at that time!" Why did the lord go to attack the Yellow Turban? ”

Yuncheng is true, but ...... Cao came from Dongjun, I am afraid that some people will not be convinced, if you defeat the Yellow Turban, and then unify Yanzhou with the power of a great victory, wouldn't it be happy? Cao Cao was arrogant, and pointed to the sky and said loudly.

"Mengde forgets?" Seeing that he couldn't listen to his opinion, Bao Xin blurted out in anger.

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, he was talking about Liu Dai?

Oh~~ Yes, isn't this what he said in his letter, let him persuade Liu Dai, Liu Dai was arrogant, did not listen to the advice, forcibly sent troops, and was finally killed by the Yellow Turban, and he praised Ning Rong for his clever strategy at that time!

Now......

Come on, Cao Cao gritted his teeth, this is really a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, he can't say anything about his suffering, he was his own words to himself.

However, how can he be compared to Liu Dai, since the conquest, Cao has experienced dozens of battles and is invincible, can't he beat the little thief?

"Yuncheng doesn't need to worry, the thieves and thieves will be pampered and arrogant in four counties and thirty-one counties, and if they take advantage of their unpreparedness and attack their camps, they will win a big victory!"

Cao Cao was full of confidence, he had already inquired clearly, and now the closest to him was the Yellow Turban Thief of the Zhou Cangbu stationed in Shouzhang.

Now he has 2,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry, plus 3,000 soldiers and horses brought by Bao Xin, a total of 15,000 soldiers and horses, which is Cao Cao's confidence to dare to attack the camp.

…………

…………

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao's soldiers marched thirty miles, camped against Liangshan with their backs, buried pots and cooked food, and the soldiers were already exhausted after several days of marching.

Cao Cao sat alone in the middle of the military tent, dispatched in the center, commanded Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and other generals to arrange troops, scattered scouts to probe the enemy, and looked at the only orderly army, and a wave of confidence filled the entire chest.

Cao Cao was preparing to attack the camp at night, but he didn't know that the Shouzhang camp dozens of miles away was blown up at this time.

In the gathering hall simply built by a few giant trees, Zhou Cang stepped on the tiger skin chair, staring at the chaotic crowd with his big eyes on the back of the tiger.

"Report ~~ The big boss, the spies came to report, and the person who came was Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun!"

The little minions wearing yellow scarves knelt on the ground to report, and the hall entered in an instant.

Zhou Cang said in a rough voice: "Can you hear clearly?" ”

"Listen clearly, Cao Cao is now encamped forty miles away!"

"How many people are coming?"

“…… More than 10,000 people ......," the little minion said with an estimated touch.

"Probe!" Zhou Cang waved his hand and sent the little minions away.

Ahem!

"Brothers, now that Cao Cao has come to attack us, say, what should we do?" Zhou Cang's wolf-like gaze swept over everyone.

"Big brother, fight! I'm afraid of him, isn't it more than 10,000 people? We're hundreds of thousands of brothers! I saw a flat-faced man with a mace in his hand shouting loudly, his rough beard shaking back and forth.

"The second master is right! Of the eight places in Yanzhou, we have accounted for five, and Guan Qushuai is now attacking Shanyang County, and at that time, I am afraid that he will not succeed Cao Cao! ”

"But...... I heard that Cao Cao used soldiers like a god, and Commander Yu was driven away by him, can we fight? "There was a weak objection.

"Humph!" Pei Yuanshao danced with a mace, his face was hideous, "You birdman is scared, can you compare with my eldest brother if you poison that waste!" ”

Pei Yuanshao roared violently, and there was an urge to pick up the stick if he didn't agree with him, which scared everyone into not daring to say more.

Zhou Cang scolded: "Second brother, don't be unreasonable, what Wang Chong said is also reasonable!" ”

"Childe, what do you think?"

As soon as everyone heard Zhou Cang mention Gongzi, they instantly remembered something, and their eyes stared at the young man who had been sitting quietly in front, only to see that he was wearing a black scholar's suit, the same black turban tied his hair, and the two black belts hanging down were wandering between the white neck, the petite silhouette was a jade-like cheek, the delicate nose was as fragile as a porcelain vase, and the eyes were shining with a spark of wisdom.

Although she is dressed in men's clothes, everyone knows that she is a woman dressed as a man, and everyone can know that this person is not simple from the way everyone looks at her.

"Holy Maiden, I Pei Yuanshao listen to you, you can say it!" There was another loud voice, which made Fang Liang tremble.

Speaking of the saintess, even the timid Wang Chong straightened his waist, for fear of leaving a bad impression, and stared at the dotted lips expectantly.

The saint's contribution to being able to enter Yanzhou so smoothly was the greatest, and everyone was very convinced and waited for her to give an order.

Saint?

Yes, this person is Zhang Jiao's daughter, the saint of the Taiping Sect, Zhang Yue.

After the three brothers of Zhang Jiao were killed, she came to Qingzhou under the protection of Zhang Niujiao, and later Zhang Niujiao attacked Youzhou and was killed by Gongsun Zan.

On the way to escape, she met Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, the right-hand men of her father, and with her help, Zhou Cang and others gathered the remnants of the Yellow Turban near Qingzhou, and developed and grew until today with 300,000 troops, crisscrossing Yanzhou.

For the convenience of her actions, she has been showing herself as a man, and her failures over the years have also taught her what it is to be strong and resourceful, otherwise a lonely and helpless girl would have died a long time ago.

Zhang Yue's face was cold, without a trace of waves, and turned to Zhou Cang and said: "Uncle Zhou, Cao Cao has his back to Liangshan and does not come to attack, it must be to sneak attack our army's camp, and we still have to prepare early tonight!" ”

The cold voice was like her name, and it had the desolation of a bright moon.
