"In Xiadong, Laitai Shici, Ziyi, on the order of Kong Taishou, went to Xuzhou to ask for reinforcements!"

Looking at Tai Shici, whose expression did not change in the slightest, Zhao Yun and Zhang He glanced at each other, and finally Zhao Yun, who was the main general, stood up and said, "I don't know if Ziyi has anything to prove?" ”

Hearing that Zhao Yun asked for proof, Tai Shi Ci thought about it, since the other party had killed thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers just now, it was impossible for him to be the Yellow Turban Remnant, so without any hesitation, he took out a seal and a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yundao: "This is Kong Taishou's seal and letter, general, please take a look." ”

"It's true, it's so, but it's a cloud, the heart of a villain."

Zhao Yun, who carefully watched the seal and the seal on the letter, finally affirmed the identity of Tai Shici in his heart, and remembered his suspicion just now, Zhao Yun, who was a humble gentleman, was a little embarrassed.

After handing back the letter and seal in his hand to Tai Shi Ci, Zhao Yun said, "Our lord is Yanzhou Mu and Cao Chengxiang, this time we are under the order of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, leading 20,000 troops, as the vanguard, the first to arrive here, and the large army will arrive in a few days." ”

"In this case, please also ask the general to send soldiers to hand over the seals and letters in the hands of the next to Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and stay in the next place to help the general resist the Yellow Turban Army together, and at the same time wait for the arrival of Prime Minister Cao Cheng's army!"

Tai Shici, who was determined to stay to resist the Yellow Turban Army, undoubtedly won the favor of Zhao Yun and Zhang He, and at the same time, Tai Shici's initiative to stay made most of the doubts in Zhang He's heart halved.

"Thank you so much, Ziyi!"

Compared with the later Zhang He, Zhao Yun understands better how superb Tai Shici's martial arts in front of him are, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, where one person's martial arts are likely to turn the tide of the war, Tai Shici's addition is no less than getting a thousand troops, therefore, Zhao Yun did not have the slightest excuse, but agreed with a praising face.

After Zhao Yun asked a Cao soldier to rush to Cao Cao's place with a letter and letters, Zhang He on the side said: "Zilong, the next large-scale assembly of the Yellow Turban Army is a matter of ten things, have you thought about the next action of our army, is it to retreat or wait for help?" ”

Zhang He and Zhao Yun, or the relationship between the generals under Cao Cao and the generals are very good, after all, history proves that when a force is in its infancy, the civil and military relations among its forces are very good, so in private, Zhang He did not call Zhao Yun a general, but directly called the word that seemed close.

However, the relationship is good, Zhang He is still very clear, and understands that as a deputy general, he must not make a decision on behalf of the next 20,000 troops, but directly ask Zhao Yun and wait for his instructions.

The million Yellow Turban Army, compared to Cao Cao, who was still in the rear at this time, the pressure on Zhao Yun and other generals in front of him will undoubtedly be even greater, although Zhao Yun does not regret the decision just now, but in the face of the million Yellow Turbans, Zhao Yun still feels distressed.

If the army is withdrawn, not to mention that Zhang He's Cao soldiers are unwilling, even Zhao Yun himself is also very unwilling, but if he sticks to the help, with Donghai County, which has become a barren and ruined county at this time, Cao Junjun who barely brings much food, once he is trapped in the city, then the consequences will be tragic.

As for dividing the troops, neither Zhao Yun nor Zhang He thought about it, not to mention that in this era, once the troops are divided, the problem of the connection between the Cao soldiers and soldiers scattered all over the country is that after the division of troops, the greatest possibility is that they will be broken by the Yellow Turban Army one by one, and dividing the troops is equivalent to looking for death.

Thinking about it, Zhao Yun, who only had one way to retreat, even if he was unwilling in his heart, thinking that the retreat was a heavy trust of Cao Cao, and at the same time, he also knew in his heart that he would withdraw from the army without any results, and he would definitely be punished more severely in the future, but the lives of 20,000 Cao soldiers still had the upper hand in Zhao Yun's heart.

Zhao Yun, who is not in charge of the army and has been fighting on the battlefield for a period of time, will certainly not be so benevolent, but let his soldiers die in vain, just for the credit that I don't know if I can get, to reduce the punishment he will receive in the future, Zhao Yun will definitely not be able to do it.

"General, if you stick to it, I think there is a place that can be used as a place to stand for help!"

Zhao Yun, who was originally going to order Zhang He to order the troops to retreat, after hearing Tai Shici's words, together with Zhang He, put his eyes on Tai Shici's body and asked, "I don't know which place Ziyi is talking about?" ”

"Xiangben! When I came down here, I once saw that a team of Yellow Turban soldiers escorted a cart of grain and grass into the city, if there is no mistake, Xiangben is the place where the Yellow Turban Army stores grain, if Xiangben is captured, the grain and grass stored in it is enough for the general's 20,000 troops to be used for a long time! ”

It's really another village, Tai Shici's words made Zhao Yun and Zhang He show joy on their faces, although there is no 100% guarantee that the place Tai Shici said must be the place where the Yellow Turban Army stores grain, but if it is, capturing the place where the grain is stored will not only harvest enough food to resist the Yellow Turban Army for a long time in an instant, but also be able to greatly hit the Yellow Turban Army.

Moreover, if the Yellow Turban Army is blocked for a few days, then even if the millions of Yellow Turban Army without food will not collapse, it can be seen how strong its combat effectiveness will decline.

To bet or not to bet, Zhao Yun and Zhang He glanced at each other, and they both saw the consciousness in each other's eyes, that is, betting, after all, once successful, then the benefits it brings are too great, so big that it may be able to let Cao Cao easily pacify the Qingzhou Yellow Turban!

"Ziyi, how many Yellow Turban soldiers are there in Xiangben City, do you know?"

"This, General Hui, this is not easy to answer, but according to the observation of those days, there should be at least 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in Xiangben City."

After Tai Shi Ci told him what he had observed the situation in Xiangben City, before Zhao Yun could speak, Zhang He immediately said: "Zilong, the soldiers are very fast, I think you will immediately lead the thousands of iron horsemen under your command to attack Xiangben!" ”

Zhao Yun was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang He to say this, the meaning of Zhang He's words was completely equivalent to him giving up this great credit and handing over this credit to Zhao Yun, at this moment Zhao Yun was very moved in his heart.

Zhao Yun nodded heavily at Zhang He, didn't say anything, there are some things in his heart, just remember and understand clearly.

A moment later, three thousand Cao army iron horsemen, in the flying sand and dust and thunderous roar, rushed towards Xiangben from this nameless small city on the border of Donghai County.
