Chapter 279: Cao Cao Breaks the Yellow Turban

The dark clouds for days are a little depressing, and now it has already entered autumn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The weather is getting colder and it seems that winter is not far away.

The yellow scarves of Jibei are also like the weather, gradually moving towards the final decline.

Now that he has been defeated repeatedly, his morale was like a rainbow before, like wildfire, but he was poured cold water on Cao Cao's army.

was driven to Jibei by Cao Cao, and now Cao Cao is still not ready to let them go. Cao Cao personally led a large army into the northern kingdom of Jibei, and many yellow turbans were panicked and demoralized.

Cao Cao's headquarters of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus the thousands of soldiers and horses left by the original Yanzhou Thorn History, 5,000 people of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, and 8,000 people of Chen Liutai. and before that, in Dongping and Lu, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were also recruited.

Cao Cao also controlled more than 40,000 soldiers before and after, and entered the northern country of Jibei, and the army was thirty miles away from the Yellow Turban camp.

Cao Cao is encamping, preparing to completely quell the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion.

In the camp, Cao Cao was in the main position, and the generals were divided into columns. Among them, Xun Yu, the strategist, is the closest to Cao Cao, which also shows how much Cao Cao attaches importance to him.

Cao Cao rolled his eyes and asked everyone: "Since I have been the pastor of Yanzhou, I have used Wenruo's strategy to set up ambushes many times. Relying on the courage of the generals, they attacked the yellow turbans day and night. Finally drove this yellow scarf to Jibei, I don't know what you think I should do with this yellow scarf? ”

Xiahoudun immediately spoke: "Naturally, I will immediately enter the army, break the yellow turban thief, and behead him to prevent future troubles!" ”

Cao Ren smiled and asked for battle: "Lord, I am willing to be the vanguard and lead 5,000 elite soldiers to fight the Yellow Turban!" ”

Cao Cao's army was originally accompanied by other Taishou troops, such as Bao Xin, the minister of Jibei, but Bao Xin had already died in battle.

Previously, when he was in Dongping Guoshou Zhang County, Cao Cao thought that this Yellow Turban arrogant army would be defeated, so he sent troops to attack the Yellow Turban together with Bao Xin. It's just that at that time, Cao Cao and Bao Xin led the cavalry, the battlefield that arrived first, and the infantry army had not yet arrived.

However, the Yellow Turban discovered Cao Cao, and in a big battle, Bao Xin fought desperately to rescue Cao Cao. Cao Cao broke through, but Bao Xin was killed in battle. It was not until the army led by Xiahoudun and Cao Ren arrived that the yellow turban was broken.

After subduing the Dongping Kingdom, Cao Cao appointed a new Shouzhang County Commander!

Cheng Yu!

Previously, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, recruited Cheng Yu to come out as an official, but Cheng Yu looked down on Liu Dai and refused to be an official. But after Liu Dai's death, Cao Cao became the pastor of Yanzhou, and when he conquered Cheng Yu again, Cheng Yu was very happy to come out to work for Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao was also very happy when he talked to Cheng Yu, as if Wang Ba looked at mung beans, and when he saw the right eye, he was appointed by Cao Cao as Shou Zhang Ling.

Cao Cao didn't express his opinion, but looked at Xun Yu, wanting to hear his opinion.

Xun Yu looked at the things on the table very calmly, and didn't care about Xiahoudun and Cao Ren's words, until Cao Cao asked, before he spoke: "Lord Mingjian, this yellow scarf was just a group of ordinary people and a group of farmers before. The lord is the pastor of Yanzhou, and he should defeat and then take it. One can get its strength and train it into an elite soldier. The second can be the laborers, so that they can return to the people, and increase taxes. Do not kill without permission, and should focus on surrender. ”

Xun Yu's views on beating the yellow scarf coincided with Luo Gan's thoughts.

Cao Cao nodded in agreement with Xun Yu's point of view, and without waiting for Cao Cao to ask, Xun Yu offered another plan: "My lord, the yellow turban has no supplies, and it all depends on plunder. Our army can divide forces to attack and harass the Yellow Turbans, so that they have no time to plunder grain and grass. In the present, the morale of today's yellow turbans is exhausted, and they can recruit the yellow scarves on the one hand, making the yellow scarves lose their defense. On the one hand, he sent troops to attack the Yellow Turbans and forced the Yellow Turbans to accept the surrender of our army. ”

Xun Yu's plan is also a common plan, which is to cut off the enemy's food and grass supply and force the Yellow Turban to surrender. On the one hand, he also sent people to lure him to surrender, and on the other hand, he sent troops to find an opportunity to storm onslaught. This can be regarded as complementing each other, and the purpose is to recruit the yellow scarf.

Cao Cao clapped his hands and smiled: "Wen Ruo's words are exactly what I want, and everyone will listen to the order!" ”

"In!"

The people answered.

"Xiahoudun is the vanguard, leading 5,000 soldiers as the vanguard, and the soldiers are sent to the Yellow Turban Battalion!" Cao Cao looked at Xiahoudun solemnly.

"No!" Xiahoudun.

"Cao Ren listened to the order, you led 5,000 troops to the right army, and attacked the Yellow Turban from the right!" Cao Cao paid great attention to cultivating Cao Ren.

"Command!" Cao Ren said.

"Where is Xiahou Miaocai? Thou led 5,000 troops to the left and attacked the Yellow Turbans from the left flank! "When Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan, he was closer.

At that time, Xiahou Yuan apologized for Cao Cao and went to prison for Cao Cao. This feeling is naturally not ordinary.

"Brother, don't worry, Yuan will definitely fight to the death for the lord!" Xiahou Yuan clenched his fists and said.

Cao Cao stood up and said loudly: "Cao Hong, Le Jin, and Li Dian will send troops with me to lead the Chinese army!" ”

Then he said to Xun Yu more politely: "Then please Wen Ruo and send someone to recruit the yellow scarf!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, this is a trivial matter!" Xun Yu also got up and said.

"Scatter!"

Soon Cao Cao's camp moved, and he took the lead of Xiahou and led 5,000 pioneers to march towards the Yellow Turban in northern Jibei. Cao Ren is on the right, Xiahou Yuan is on the left, and Cao Cao's pro-unified army is behind, which is to kill the Yellow Turban.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army was on the outskirts of Feicheng County in Jibei Kingdom, and Feicheng County was only a small county. When the Yellow Turban invaded Yanzhou, it was almost burned. The people of Feicheng County either fled or died in the fighting.

This also makes the yellow turban not have so much food to loot, resulting in the fact that the yellow scarf is not able to eat now, and the combat effectiveness is naturally reduced a lot.

Originally, there were as many yellow scarves as many as one million in half of Yanzhou, of course, there was more water in them, and they were only known to the outside world. But in fact, there are hundreds of thousands, but most of them are the families of the yellow scarves, or ordinary people who are coerced.

However, whether it is hundreds of thousands or millions, a large amount of food is consumed every day.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sun shone on most of the land of Feicheng again, and many yellow scarves were lying on the ground basking in the sun, their eyes full of confusion. I don't know where they'll go next, or if they'll have food tomorrow. Will the big bad guy Cao Cao, who has been chasing them, show up again?

"Mother, I'm hungry~" A five- or six-year-old child with a yellow face and thin muscles was lying weakly in the arms of an ordinary-looking and ragged village woman. He looked at his mother longingly, hoping to have something to eat.

The village woman's face was haggard, and her stomach was growling, looking at her emaciated son. Although the eyes were slightly moist, there was not a single tear left, and it seemed to be a little numb.

But he still quietly took out a small black piece of something from his bosom that he didn't know what it was, and quickly stuffed it into the child's mouth. Glancing around again, no one paid attention to his mother and son, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and the horses galloped and the dust flew up.
