Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

Big pit!Pit!

Ning Rong wrinkled her nose, got on the horse, and decided to ignore this idiot for now, and indulge herself for a while.

Chapter 1 Gucheng

Angrily, Pei Yuanshao led the remnant army to chase all the way. When he arrived at the Yinshan camp, he saw the messy tents and the empty grain room, and screamed to the sky in grief and indignation.

"Cao thief...you are too deceitful!"

"Pfft~"

Old and new hatred intertwined, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and Pei Yuanshao passed out completely.

Everyone was in a panic again, yelling and shouting at every turn. In the end, Mr. Li sighed in dismay, pinched Pei Yuanshao's benevolence, and sprayed a few mouthfuls of cold water. Only then did he save Pei Yuanshao who was in a hurry come over.

"gentlemen……"

Mr. Li shook his head and said: "It's gone, it's gone, more than half of the men and horses have been lost, and the food has been looted by Cao's army. Right now..."

Pei Yuanshao lay on the reclining weakly, struggling hard, hesitated for a while, and said unwillingly: "Retreat! Go find elder brother!"

After saying this, Pei Yuanshao seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and completely collapsed.

The [-] Yellow Turban elite army was now more than half lost by myself, and hundreds of stones of food and grass were looted by Cao Jun in this way.

I...how can I go to see my elder brother Zhou Cang!How can I have the face to meet the saint!

……

Cao Hong placed the army in Gucheng, and before he had time to rest, he was dragged by Ning Rong to inspect the surrounding environment. Gucheng is just a county seat, and the city wall is not high, but fortunately it is quite thick.

"Huh... Zilian, what do you think of Gucheng?"

"Hmm~~ The layout is too small, but the advantage lies in the special geographical location, but... the inner city will be destroyed within ten days!"

Cao Hong grabbed a piece of grass at random, stood on the top of Xiaowang Mountain and looked up at Gucheng.

"What do you mean?" Ning Rong asked with a smile.

"What? Zhiyuan really thinks that Hong is a simple-minded martial artist with well-developed limbs?"

Cao Hong curled his lips, rolled his eyes at Ning Rong, and said, "You bullied Pei Yuanshao to death and put yourself in Gucheng. Don't you want to use yourself as a bait to lure the Yellow Turbans to gather here?"

"You know?" Now it was Ning Rong's turn to be amazed, he suddenly discovered that none of the fierce generals who could survive in the Three Kingdoms was a fool.

"Cut! How fresh!" Cao Hong shrugged, imitating Ning Rong's bad habits, his supercilious expression coupled with his original arrogance, really expressed that contempt to the fullest.

"Yellow turban bandits are rogues. They don't know the art of war, they don't know strategy. They have always been headless in war. They use a stick here and a hammer there. If they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will run away!

They never attack cities and loot lands and build city defenses, which is why it is difficult for officers and soldiers to destroy them! "

Ning Rong leaned against the big tree and nodded with a sigh.

"Yes! This is the advantage of the Yellow Turban Thieves. Now the Yellow Turban Thieves have too much depth. They have two countries and four counties to roam around. If they want to completely eliminate them at once, they can only let them give up their own advantages. Come out and gather under this valley city, and then you can wipe out the Yellow Turbans in one go!"

"But, have you ever thought that there are 30 yellow scarves under Zhou Cang's command, but we... only have 30?" Cao Hong waved three fingers in front of Ning Rong's eyes, and said, "Do you think you can wipe out [-] yellow scarves?" ?”

"No need! Even if these people stand still, you can still kill them for ten and a half months. My purpose is...to make them surrender! To force them to surrender!"

Ning Rong clenched her fists tightly and stared at Cao Hong firmly.

"..." Cao Hong was suspicious and did not speak.

"What? Don't believe me! Didn't you say that you can resist the Yellow Turban Thief for ten days?"

"Yes! But..."

"No but!" Ning Rong suddenly waved his hand and said, "Look, Zilian, although there are four gates in Gucheng, the west gate is the narrowest. Outside is the Xiaoqing River, and few people pass by. Come to think of it, 500 guards are enough! The north and south sides are hillsides, each with 2000 guards, as for the east gate... at least 3000 men are needed to prevent the Yellow Turbans from attacking the city!"

Speaking of the east gate, Ning Rong knocked on his head with a headache. This place is the most troublesome. Outside the east gate is an empty space without even a moat. Perhaps the people who built this city had a convulsion in their heads. If you build a city on two hills, everything will be fine.

what?

500 people at the west gate, 2000 people at the south gate, 2000 people at the north gate, and at least 3000 people at the east gate?

This... that's 500 people, okay?

Cao Hong snapped his fingers and looked at Ning Rong foolishly, Zhiyuan was talking nonsense, right?

"Could it be that Zhiyuan knows the art of throwing beans into soldiers?" Cao Hong asked while gritting his teeth. If so, he would never fight again in this life!

"Scattering beans into soldiers? Fart!"

Ning Rong was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said: "Here! There are many big families in Gucheng, who doesn't have a hundred or eighty guards, mobilize the people in these cities to guard the city, not to mention seven thousand, even ten thousand is enough of!"

"There are a lot of selfish people in aristocratic families, I'm afraid Zhiyuan's idea will be difficult to realize!"

Cao Hong understands the nature of aristocratic families better than Ning Rong. These people would rather die with wealth than harm their own interests. The family is more important to them than anything else.

"Don't worry! As long as I understand it with emotion and reason, they will definitely be influenced by me!" Ning Rong said eagerly, he was most willing to do the matter of reasoning and presenting the facts.

Cao Hong curled his lips, turned his head away silently, and did not speak.

……

Overnight, the people of Gucheng suddenly found that there were many soldiers wearing black armor on the street, and even the guards at the gate of the county government office were replaced by black armor soldiers.

It wasn't until they saw the huge flag with Cao characters on the top of the city that they realized that this was the army sent by the new governor of Yanzhou, Duke Cao.

I heard that they came to fight the Yellow Turbans!

When mentioning the Yellow Turban Bandits, everyone showed expressions of hatred and contempt. The current Yellow Turban Bandit has a bad reputation on the street, and is no longer the soldier who saves the people from suffering.

They are naturally willing to drive away the locust army.

But... Soon, there was a wave of gossip in Gucheng.

I don't know which well-informed person overheard the news in the county. The Yellow Turban Thieves heard that the people of Gucheng had food and wanted to grab it.

That's it!The people of Gucheng believe it, because that's what the Yellow Turbans have done all these years!

As a result, everyone in Gucheng panicked, and everyone bought grain one after another, so that the price of grain in the city rose again and again, until it was as high as two pennies a stone.

……

County government.

"Did the news spread?"
