Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 49
At dusk, in the territory of Qingzhou.

Nearly a thousand tents were erected on the plain beside a clear stream.

In the most central place, the main tent is inside.

"General Niu, I have told you everything I know. This is the general situation of the Yellow Turban bandits in Zhao County."

The old man talked for a long time, and kept bowing. After a long time, he looked quite tired. After all, he couldn't hold on anymore, so he motioned for the junior to come forward to help him, and sat back in his original position tremblingly.

After hearing the information from the other party, everyone in the tent had different expressions.

The group of people headed by the old man just showed anticipation, hoping that the army would advance quickly.

Niu Gai on the main seat is beaming with joy and joy.

Yu Jin, who was sitting on the lower side, looked thoughtful and fell silent.

The old man took a few sips of the tea soup, and just after he calmed down for a while, he looked at Niu Gai again, with an anxious expression:

"General, the villagers of our Zhao County are in trouble now, it can be said that they are sitting in a state of misery. I hope that the general can relieve the people from their upside down and save the people as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Niu Gai seemed to be quite moved, just about to speak, but Yu Jin pointed his eyes at him, then looked at the old man himself and said with a smile:
"Old Zuo, be safe and don't be impatient."

"According to what you said, I will know the situation of the thieves, but I am still a little confused, and I hope you can answer more."

"It's just like this king of thieves, we have never heard of it before. What you said just now seems to be just a child who has not yet reached the crown. What else?"

The old man was exactly Zuo Lao who escaped from the tiger's mouth a few days ago.

The group of them had been traveling day and night for the past few days, heading all the way to the county, but today they happened to meet a patrolling ranger sent by Yu Jin on the road, and the two sides met face to face.

After some conversation, they heard that Cao Cao, the state herdsman, had sent the army, and Zuo Lao and the others were ecstatic.

Since it is entered in the account, it means that you will answer all your questions and know everything.

Hearing Yu Jin's question, Elder Zuo hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted:

"Return to the general, since the benefactors of the county lord Cuixi and the old man were in trouble at the same time, I have sent people to inquire carefully about the origin of this beast."

"This Wangzheng is only sixteen years old, and he was just a humble elder before that. This man received the state shepherd's salary, but he didn't know kindness and righteousness. He was ambitious. He gathered people to rebel a few days ago, and even killed officials and robbed Taoists. He has committed a lot of crimes." !"

Old Zuo's words were angry and resentful, and Niu Gai, who was on the main seat, was quite moved when he heard the words, and looked at Old Zuo approvingly.

He only felt that this person was old and frail, yet he did not forget his kindness and thought of his old master, which was really rare.

Yu Jin didn't respond much, just nodded, with a calm face, and asked himself:
"Since he is just a superintendent, young and inexperienced, neither talented nor famous, why did he gather people to accomplish things that day?
"Now, what do you rely on to convince the crowd?"

"The general doesn't know anything."

Mr. Zuo caressed his white beard lightly, and said with a smile, "This dog was able to get away with it, but it all depended on a daring act."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"So that the general will know, according to the old man's investigation, when this man started the incident that day, he claimed to be the reincarnation of Zhang Jiao, and he even named himself General Tiangong!"

"It's all based on this to incite everyone, and succeeded in creating chaos in the barracks!"

"Zhang Jiao reincarnated?"

Yu Jin was stunned, and looked at Niu Gai, who was also stunned when he saw him. The two looked at each other, and suddenly laughed at the same time.

"Hahaha"

"Some people believe such nonsense?" Niu Gai said with a smile: "There is a reincarnation, and now he is just a child of eight or nine years old, right?"

"It's true and ridiculous." Yu Jin also shook his head again and again, disapproving.

Elder Zuo also jokingly said, "From this point, we can see that the Yellow Turban bandits are full of ignorant and foolish people from the countryside."

"Otherwise, how could thousands of people be deceived by these lies?"

"Zhuzi is really bold."

Niu Gai shook his head and laughed loudly: "When you first caused a rebellion, you wanted to call yourself General Tiangong, but now you want to call yourself Emperor after conquering a city."

"I'm a little curious. Could it be that he hasn't thought about expanding his territory, otherwise he won't be able to get promoted in the future?"

"Since we are here." Yu Jin's eyes were fixed, and he said solemnly: "He has no chance."

"Hahaha, it's extremely extreme."

Niu Gai laughed for a while, then suddenly rolled his eyes, looked at Yu Jin and said:
"Wen Ze, since I know the details of the thief, I have a plan."

"Oh?"

Can it be your turn to say this line?

Yu Jin was surprised when he heard the words, and followed the reputation.

"Wen Ze, we are walking together on horseback, but the speed is really too slow."

Niu Gai pointed to Elder Zuo: "Since we met these local villagers from Zhao County on the way, it can be seen that the sun shines on me, and the state shepherd tiger protects me."

"Now that you know the details of the thief, what do you think?"

"It's better for me to lead a thousand cavalry directly and go on the road lightly."

"The so-called speed is the most important thing in a soldier. Taking advantage of the speed of the horse, you can point your sword at Zhao County within three days, and wipe out the thieves with lightning speed!"

Hearing the words, Yu Jin looked thoughtful, and after a while he replied to Niu Gai in a deep voice:

"General, cavalry is good for field battles, but not good for siege."

"As Zuo Lao said, the bandits have [-] soldiers. If you stick to the city, you have to go into battle lightly, but you can only carry a few days of rations, and you don't have any siege equipment. How can you attack the city?"

Having said that, Yu Jin's expression changed, and he looked at Elder Zuo:
"Old Zuo, according to what you just said, those bandit leaders guarding the city gate are also dissatisfied with Wang Zhengxin?"

Before Mr. Zuo could answer, Niu Gai clapped his hands and praised:
"Wen Zeguo is a well-informed soldier. I just want to use this person as an internal response to help me defeat the thief."

"Internal response." Yu Jin stroked his chin: "If it is true what Zuo Lao said, since there are a large number of deserters, it is indeed a sign of civil strife."

"People's hearts are scattered but not gathered. To counteract the thieves at the city gate, if you want them to do things inside, you should open the city gate. There is a great chance of success."

If the cavalry entered the city, let alone the yellow turban bandits who were extremely powerful.

It is an ordinary officer army, with no ground to rely on, and [-] infantry against [-] cavalry may not have much chance of winning.

The cavalry in this world requires elite soldiers to be competent. Regardless of equipment and bravery, they are far superior to ordinary infantry.

According to what the old Zuo said, the thieves lacked horses, so obviously they couldn't gather many cavalry to fight.

"It's just." Yu Jin felt a little uneasy in his heart, after thinking about it, he suggested hesitantly:
"Captain, I'm afraid there may be fraud!"

"It's better to be careful. Even if the cavalry enters the city, the alleys are narrow and not comparable to the plains. The advantage of the cavalry may not be great."

"What's more, if the thieves set a trap, when you lead the cavalry into the city and close the four gates, you will be cut off from the back."

"General Yu is too worried."

Zuo Lao saw that Niu Gai wanted to lead the cavalry alone and kill the thieves as soon as possible, which was exactly what he wanted.
"Wang Zheng, with his ears erect, arrogantly proclaiming himself emperor was criticized by others, and he killed soldiers indiscriminately, and the army's morale was lax."

"The old man has heard it with his own ears and witnessed it with his own eyes. How can there be fraud?"

Yu Jin ignored him and ignored him.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was too old and provided a lot of key information, it would be considered meritorious. If he, a commoner, interrupted the discussion of such a major military matter, he would not let him off lightly.
