Great Wei Nengchen

On the other side, Xiao Yi issued an order, beat the drums to raise the account, called together the big and small bosses, and announced his battle plan - "Send your troops south and attack Yecheng!"

The art of war is false and real. If the army wants to advance westward smoothly, it must first wave its troops southward, and use it to confuse the enemy's sight. Let him know what it means to have trouble sleeping and eating!

An order fell like a mountain, and the daring dared not listen. The Yellow Turban Army, with 40 horses, set up camps, raised their banners, and marched southward. The vanguard in the front was Zhang Yan. Build bridges with water and sweep away obstacles on the road!

Before sending out troops, Xiao Yi sent a secret order to Zhang Yan to be careful not to advance too fast, two steps forward and one step back, and it is enough to advance more than a dozen miles a day, but the momentum must be loud, and a large army must be set up to go south , The posture of storming Yecheng can only confuse people's hearts if the fake show is real!

..................................................................................................................

Knowing that the Yellow Turban Army is marching southward, the situation in Yecheng can be described in eight words... "Three shocks a day, people are panic!"

"The thieves are coming!...Everyone, run for your lives!"

"God bless!...don't let bandits enter the village, and don't let officers and soldiers come either!"

....................................

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In order to avoid wars, rich families fled to other places in vehicles, loaded with gold and silver, and ordinary people had nowhere to escape, so they had to pray to God for protection!

At the same time, in order to resist the Yellow Turban Army, General Yuan Shao issued a military order: "All around Yecheng, no blade of grass will be left, and all the scorched earth will be turned into the scorched earth, so as not to capitalize on the enemy!"

Shuangshui Village is located on the north bank of the Zhanghe River. It is a very ordinary village with only a hundred households. As the saying goes, people rely on water to eat water. The people fish and shrimp and cultivate land. Guaranteed to have no worries about food and clothing, it can be regarded as a richer village!

For a hundred years, this village has been safe and sound, and the people work at sunrise and rest at sunset, living a life of indifference to the world, but the arrival of the war completely changed their destiny...

"The general has an order: In order to avoid the disaster of war, all the people around Yecheng will be relocated and resettled, and all houses and food stores will be burned. Anyone who dares to disobey will be punished as collaborating with the enemy-kill without pardon!"

A group of Yuan soldiers rushed into the village, and after announcing the announcement, drove the villagers away with violence, buried wells and burned houses at the same time...

"This military man, the young ones abide by the law and have never defaulted on taxes, and dare not collude with thieves... If it is cold today, if the houses are burned and there is no food, how will the villagers survive? This is one point It’s a small thing, please accept it with a smile!”

A white-haired pavilion chief stood up and took out some scraps of silver, hoping to buy a peaceful place. Officers and soldiers have always been greedy for money, and this time will be no exception, right?

"A daring thief who resists military orders and dares to bribe this official, he must be a Yellow Turban thief...Kill him!"

The lieutenant who led the team had a fierce look in his eyes, and pulled out the long knife at his waist. With a flash of cold light, the head of the pavilion fell to the ground, and the blood donation was scattered far away. What he wanted was not a little money, but everything!

"Kill it!...destroy the culprits, leave no one behind!"

At the same time, soldiers of the Yuan Army brandished their weapons and began beheading the villagers, robbing the women, and rushing into the cottages, searching for everything of value, and burning what could not be taken away!

In troubled times, a family of soldiers and bandits, Yuan Jun soldiers running around, not getting any benefits to go back, how can they be worthy of this hard work, so they planted and framed, and then bloodbathed the village and made a fortune!

Soon, a prosperous and prosperous village was turned into ruins under the raging fire, which also covered countless crimes. People in troubled times are not as good as chickens and dogs!

This kind of thing happened all around Yecheng. The originally prosperous and prosperous place turned into ruins in just a few days. The villages were overfired, and every family paid filial piety. In less than 20 years, it is impossible to recover. It's really 'you don't hurt the enemy, you hurt yourself first'!

The "good deeds" done by his subordinates, the general Yuan Shao is very clear, but the strong enemy is oppressing the country, in order to protect his own foundation, he has no choice but to do this. No matter what, the town is burned to ruins, and it is still Yuan's territory. If you don't burn it, it will become someone else's!

Similarly, at the juncture of life and death, Hebei Wu also erupted with great power. They patrolled the city defense day and night, trying to prevent any loopholes from appearing.

In a word, Yuan's Group is ready to defend the city, and it also has the courage to burn everything, waiting for the appearance of the Yellow Turban Army, and the two sides will fight to the death. Then you know, there is no unparalleled road, the enemy did not appear, but the reinforcements came arrive!

Hearing the news that the Yellow Turban Army was going south, Bingzhou Inspector Gao Gan assembled all his troops, a total of [-] horses and infantry, and traveled day and night to help Yecheng!

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked Curse to go out of the city with a large amount of property to reward the soldiers, win people's hearts and boost morale, and ordered the high-ranking officials to station troops in the south of the city, forming horns, and prepared to fight to the death with the Yellow Turban Army!

Within three days, there was another good news. Tian Feng's strategy of "distance and close attack" was successful. Jiangdong-Sun Ce, Jingzhou-Liu Biao mobilized troops one after another, and made a gesture of aggressively marching north. For the safety of Xuchang, Cao Cao had to Deploy troops and garrison the southern border to resist the two armies of princes!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the eldest son Yuan Tan mobilized 5 troops and ordered his confidant generals Ma Yan and Zhang Yi to come to support Yecheng, and the camp was stationed in the east of the city, forming a solid defense line of the "Trinity"!

At the same time, Gao Lan, the general stationed on the Great Wall, also sent all his troops southward to force Julu City, preparing to attack the Yellow Turban Army from behind, forming a pincer attack from the north and the south, and the situation on the battlefield reversed!

There was enough food and grass in the city, and reinforcements from all walks of life arrived. Yuan Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all the troops gathered, the number of troops exceeded 30. With the support of the strong city, it was enough to fight against the Yellow Turban Army. A strong enemy is not impossible!

The next step is to see when the Yellow Turban Army will appear, the deep pit has been dug, and wait for the tigers and leopards to enter!

From Julu to Yecheng, the distance is only [-] miles, and the journey is flat and flat, without any natural obstacles. With the advancing speed of the Yellow Turban Army, it will take ten days at the fastest, and half a month at the slowest. !

But a full 20 days have passed, Yuan Jun has been vigilant day and night, his eyes are almost like goldfish, and he has not seen a single soldier of the Yellow Turban Army. Could it be that the enemy crawled over?

Feeling uneasy, Yuan Shao dispatched a large number of rangers to secretly investigate the enemy's movements. There are tens of thousands of horses. They can't disappear out of thin air, right?

Three days later, a piece of accurate news came, and Hebei Wu was dumbfounded. The Yellow Turban Army marched southward, but it was just a feint. Enter, enter the hinterland of Bingzhou...

784. Chapter 784 Swinging troops westward

Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers pretended to go south, and after a false shot, they suddenly turned around and headed west, killing and heading to Bingzhou... The news spread to Yecheng, and Yuan Shao's seven orifices were full of smoke, and he spurted out a mouthful of old blood. Essence, Qi, and spirit are all injured, and there is pain everywhere in the whole body!

In order to defend Yecheng, Yuan Jun burned the villages and towns and killed the people, which seriously injured the vitality of the southern part of Jizhou. , all went to the water!

This is such a martial arts master, he exhausted all his strength, and punched out fiercely, but he hit the empty space, and under the reversal of strength, it all acted on himself, one can imagine the feeling!

In any case, the matter has already happened, the original strategic deployment is invalid, and a new countermeasure must be planned. Yuan Shao immediately summoned the military officers to discuss the solution. Now let's see whose plan is better!

Yuan Shao was able to dominate the four prefectures of Hebei, not because he had no one under his command. On the contrary, the generals in the shogunate were full of talents. Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Guo Tu, Shen Pei, and Xu You were all resourceful men who had a clear understanding of the battle situation. , They have repeatedly speculated that the Yellow Turban Army has three ways to go...

Strategy - go south in a big way, swallowing Jizhou; taking advantage of the victory of the Julu War and the high morale of the whole army, tens of thousands of people quickly went south, sweeping the counties in the south of Jizhou, and then attacking Yecheng... For this, the Yuan Group has long been prepared , They set up a lot of ambushes, if the Yellow Turban Army dared to come, there must be no return!

Strategy - march eastward and invade Qingzhou; where the city is dense, the population is large, and the life is relatively rich. The Yellow Turban Army can plunder money and food, and expand its strength wantonly. However, the terrain along the coast is narrow and there is no strategic space for detours. With a little strength, you can also defeat the enemy!

The next strategy-Northern Youzhou, separate one side; the land in the north of the Great Wall is full of mountains and mountains. The Yellow Turban Army is a group of rogues, who can easily take root, and then contact the Huns and Karasuma for foreign aid, which will become the confidant of the Yuan Group. If you don't have ten or eight years of effort, don't even think about eradicating them!

Of the three roads, the probability of going south is the highest, followed by going east, and going north again, but it never occurred to me that the Yellow Turban Army did not take any of these roads, but marched westward and entered Bingzhou. Is it incredible?

The four prefectures in Hebei, Bingzhou has the largest area, extending from Yanmen in the north, the Yellow River in the south, Taihang in the east, and the grassland in the west, with a length and width of more than [-] miles. The strategic space is extremely vast.

Similarly, Bingzhou is also the poorest state. There are many mountains, the environment is harsh, and the food production is extremely limited. In some places, not even a single grass grows.

Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops fled to Bingzhou, and they couldn't get enough food at all. Without Yuan Jun going to attack, they would fend for themselves in a few months at most. Therefore, when deploying strategies, no one considered Bingzhou. It's a dead end, only a fool will walk in it!

The problem is that the Yellow Turban Army really marched westward, and marched extremely fast. They penetrated more than a hundred miles in just a few days. Something abnormal happened, must there be something strange?

If it was a few months ago, the Yuan Group would have underestimated the enemy, mocking the Yellow Turban Army as a bunch of mobs who didn't understand strategy and tactics, and had gone to their own death. However, a great deer battle changed everyone's views. Down to the military officers, everyone has come to their senses. If the Yellow Turban Army can survive from desperation, there must be capable people planning the battalion!

During this period of time, the Yuan Group has also collected some news, saying that there is a strange person in the Yellow Turban Army. It was this person who commanded him, and his use of tactics has reached the point of proficiency!

"Immediately send out cavalry, spies, and assassins. No matter how much money is spent, we must find out the origin of this person. In addition... whoever assassinates this person will be rewarded with a thousand gold. Gold, seal a county, and give it the post of general!"

The matter is of great importance, Yuan Shao also went all out, changed his previous stingy nature, issued heavy rewards, and spied on the opponent's reality, you must know that knowing yourself and the enemy can win a hundred battles!

The money man-serving ghosts and gods, within a few days, Yuan Shao and others received a reliable message that the identity of this "teacher" was clarified, and it was the chief general of Cao Ying--Xiao Yi!

"What a ghost-faced Xiao Lang, the world commented on him as 'cunning as a fox, fierce as a wolf, and brave as a tiger', now add another one - sinister as a snake!"

After hearing the news, all the servants of the Yuan Group gasped and sweated profusely. It felt like a poisonous snake had fallen into their necks...it scared me to death!

Snakes are inconspicuous creatures, always entrenched in dark corners, stealthily, silently, slowly approaching the prey, taking advantage of the opponent's paralysis, and suddenly attacking, as long as it bites, the prey will undoubtedly die !
