As soon as Zhang Niujiao's voice fell, the shouts of Yu Poison's guards came from outside the big tent: "Dashuai, Zhang Shuai, Daxian and Liangshi have orders to send it." ”

Yu Poison waved his hand to signal the herald to retreat, unfolded the map on the case, pointed to the direction of Lingxian and said, "Brother Niujiao, do you say Li Yi is so stupid?" Can't he see that this Gao Tang City is a trap to lure him into the cage? ”

Zhang Niujiao took a sip of wine, a trace of helplessness flashed on his vicissitudes of life, and he whispered: "Of course he is not stupid." General Digong and military advisor Zhang Qun are all good fighters in our Taiping Dao and Yellow Turban Army, but the 400,000 troops they led were all folded in the hands of Li Yi in just two or three months, and they even lost their own lives. Daxian Liangshi and Chu Yan's father and son are also masters of soldiers in our Taiping Dao and Yellow Turban Army, but both of them are still planted in his hands. More than 200,000 people, all of them were defeated at his hands. I'm worried that the great virtuous master is eager for revenge, and this time it will be planted in his hands. ”

"Oh?" Yu Poison asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?" ”

"The great sage and good teacher wanted to kill two birds with one stone, but he was afraid that the eagle would not shoot it, but would be pecked blind by the eagle. There is a fatal flaw in the game he set up. Zhang Niujiao pretended to be unfathomable and said slowly.

Yu Poison smiled and said casually: "You mean grain?" ”

Zhang Niujiao looked at Yu Poison in surprise, and suddenly felt that he was stupid, as if others could see the problem without using their brains, and he was still pretending to be deep.

"Do you think the great sages don't know? After defeating Gaotang, we will have enough food. The crux of the problem is not food, but whether we can defeat Gaotang before the food in the army runs out. Yu Poison looked at the map on the desk and said worriedly, "If the great sage and good teacher want to fight Li Yi and Gao Tang again, that is the fatal loophole of this game." ”

………………

Just when Zhang Niujiao and Yu Poison were discussing together, Chu Yan was also playing chess with Yang Feng in the big tent.

As Zhang Jiao's adopted son and personal disciple, their chess skills were all personally instructed by Zhang Jiao. The level is very high. Zhang Jiao admires their talents very much and believes that they will all be the backbone of the Yellow Turban Army in the future.

Yang Feng and Chu Feiyan are of the same age, handsome, and good at martial arts, but he is smarter than Chu Yan, sleek and well-behaved, scheming, and very ruthless.

Just like when Li Yi led the army south from Youzhou before, the Hejian Kingdom guarded by Yang Feng can be said to be the first to face Li Yi's troops among the many counties in Jizhou, but Yang Feng knows very well that his strength is completely impossible to compare with the Youzhou army. Therefore, he simply chose to avoid its edge, and retreated from the areas of Juxian, Yixian and Wen'an in the north of Hejian Country where he was originally active, to the Lecheng and Chengping areas on the line of the Futuo River in the south.

Although this kind of action seems to be very cowardly, it allowed Yang Feng and the more than 50,000 Yellow Turban Army brothers under his command to survive smoothly.

The generals of the Yellow Turban Army in Zhongshan Kingdom, Changshan Kingdom, Zhao State and the northern counties of Julu County who chose to fight with the Youzhou Army did not choose to retreat, but chose to fight with the Youzhou Army. and their men were gone.

But it is precisely because Yang Feng is too scheming that many of the leaders of the older generation in the Yellow Turban Army do not like him. thinks he is too cunning, so his reputation and status in the Yellow Turban Army have always been inferior to Chu Yan.

Yang Feng can fight, and he is no worse than Chu Yan, which everyone knows in the Yellow Turban Army. But he and Chu Yan are friends of life and death, and few people know about it.

After receiving Zhang Jiao's message, the two continued to play chess as if they were fine.

"Ziyu. What do you think? Chu Yan dropped a sunspot, and finally couldn't help it, and asked softly.

"Li Yi is here. The bloody battle begins. Yang Feng said with a smile.

Chu Yan glanced at him and said slowly, "You will help again this time." After eating Li Yi, this land of Hebei will be left to us. ”

Yang Feng glanced at him and asked cautiously, "Are you sure?" We have never fought against an army of cavalry, let alone a cavalry army of more than 10,000 men. Xiao Zuo's army is definitely the absolute main force in the Yellow Turban Army, but his 25,000 army was wiped out in the Ancient Mansion, which shows the power of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry. Do you dare to fight this kind of uncertain battle? ”

"I carefully studied the process of many battles between the Han army and the Hun cavalry, and I think I am sure." Chu Yan looked at Yang Feng's big eyes and smiled confidently, "Since Li Yi dares to come, I have a way to make him unable to go back." However, if I engage Li Yi, my army will all be thrown up, so we must rely on your troops to take Gaotang City. ”

Yang Feng looked at the chessboard and didn't make a sound.

Chu Yan gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "We all know the mind of Niu Jiao, Yu Poison is vacillating and incomprehensible, and it is good to expect them to contain some of the troops now." We are brothers, you give me a word. Promise, I'll have a fight with Li Yi. If I didn't agree, I immediately took Gaotang City, and then led the army to fly south to Mount Tai in Qingzhou, giving up the action of encircling and annihilating the Youzhou army. ”

Yang Feng looked at the chessboard for a long time, still silent.

"Ziyu, will I deliberately frame you and make you lose your troops?" Chu Yan looked at Yang Feng seriously and said slowly.

Yang Feng raised his eyebrows, and looked at Chu Yan with a pair of big eyes, his eyes full of doubt and suspicion. Now the army of the great virtuous and good teachers is basically gone, and the Yellow Turban Army is left with the three generals Zhang Liang, Chu Yan and Yang Feng who have strong strength. If Yang Feng's army was defeated badly in this battle, Chu Yan would be the boss of the Yellow Turban Army.

As for the general Zhang Liang, Yang Feng didn't take him seriously at all. This titular No. 3 person in the Yellow Turban Army, except for a few bravery, is not worth mentioning at all. Even Zhang Jiao, a great sage and good teacher, did not list him as a reference candidate for the Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army.

Yang Feng picked up a white seed, gently put down the chessboard, and asked solemnly, "Are we brothers?" ”

Chu Yan felt that there was something in his words, glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Brother of life and death." ”

Yang Feng also glanced at Chu Yan and asked calmly, "Then you tell me, does the Great Sage and Good Master intend to pass on the position of the Great Leader to you?" ”

Chu Yan was suddenly shocked and dumbfounded.

………………

Liu Ding heard the thunderous sound of war drums outside the city, and hurriedly rushed up to the city tower. The main general defending the city, the captain Ji Yong, hurriedly greeted him.

"The ant thieves are attacking?" Liu Ding asked, striding to the edge of the city wall and looking up.

In the distance, the drums of the Yellow Turban Army shook the sky, the flags were fluttering, and groups of Yellow Turban Army soldiers were rushing out of the camp, carrying a large number of siege equipment, and they were swarming in.

Ji Yong's expression was as usual, and he smiled slightly: "The ant thief can't wait." ”

Then he turned his head and shouted, "Is there any news of the other gates?" ”

"General, not yet." The guards standing in the distance replied loudly.

"If the ant thieves attack from all four at the same time, our defensive forces will be too scattered. Envoy, look ......," Ji Yong asked in a low voice.

"The enemy is real and false, and we have no way of determining the direction of their main attack. That's it, keeping one day is one day. Liu Ding looked straight ahead with his eyes and said expressionlessly, "I'm here, advancing and retreating with everyone." ”

Ji Yong was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The safety of the envoy is related to the morale of our army. It's too dangerous on this city wall, so let's go back to the palace. There is no need for the king to oversee the battle, and the soldiers will fight bravely to kill the enemy. ”

"Hmph......" Liu Ding sneered, his tone unquestionable, "I'll just sit here." I'm going to see if Zhang Jiao can attack it. ”

Ji Yong knew his temper and didn't persuade him again.

Liu Ding looked up at the gray sky, and suddenly said, "If only it could rain again." ”

………………

By the raging river, a snow-white horse galloped like a bolt of lightning. The young general wearing Xuan armor on the horse was Li Yi, the general of the cavalry.

He was surrounded by a dense crowd of warriors, with colorful battle flags behind him, and his ears were filled with the roar of galloping war horses. He felt as if he had fallen into the torrent of a great river, as if he was about to perish at any moment, and completely lost his freedom and confidence.

He remembered that in the days after coming to the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many times when he dreamed that he was leading thousands of troops and horses to gallop across the endless plains, and he could still clearly feel the excitement in the dream.

The dream is vivid, as if it were yesterday.

Although the dream has long since come true, he does not have the excitement of galloping on the field at all, but instead has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, which often overwhelms him and even feels suffocated.

It turns out that commanding thousands of troops and horses is not a matter of scenery at all, but a burden, a burden that the soul cannot bear.

Just like now, any soldier knows that he is rushing to the Gaotang battlefield now, not for anything else, but to die.

In the face of 200,000 Yellow Turban Army, how many of these 15,000 people can come back?

But everyone had no regrets, not even a word of complaint, and resolutely followed him to the battlefield.

What do you do in the army? Isn't it just for this day, for this day to be able to stain the battlefield with blood? How many people really joined the army to enjoy the glory that war brought them?

Those who can enjoy the glory are survivors of war, and many more are the victims of war.

In Suijiashan, the corpses of more than 70,000 soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, together with the deaths of more than 40,000 officers and soldiers, and the loss of more than 110,000 living lives, performed a bloody classic death.

This vigorous death shook Li Yi, and the blood on the Jizhou Plain was deeply engraved in his heart, making him deeply realize that the war was so cruel and bloody, and it was not as beautiful as he had imagined.

He felt responsible for the lives of fifteen thousand soldiers, for their selfless trust and for the glory in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
