Pirates: Be the Master from the East China Sea

Chapter 290 The bird in the cage

Hebei, Hanoi.

A tragic battle had just ended, and the ground was soaked in blood, like a huge carpet, covered with countless dead bodies.

Zhang He hissed: "Long Snake Formation, continue the pursuit!"

Luo Qi lazily looked at the defeat in front of him, feeling quite bored.

The Yellow Turbans were indeed a mob, unable to even master the most basic formations. As soon as they came into contact with Zhang He's troops, they began to be completely defeated.

After all, the battle formation is the source of soldier morale, especially for a side whose individual combat capability is weaker than that of its opponent, and it is more important to pay attention to maintaining the formation.Only by maintaining the formation can the power of group operations be exerted.The greatest casualties and results in war occur not in organized confrontations, but in the destruction of the enemy's organized battles.

The formation is the external manifestation of organizational combat. If you don't even have the most basic battle formation, it will easily collapse completely once you encounter a battle.

Although the Yellow Turban Party has a large number of people, it has not been trained, and its equipment and morale are extremely backward. Naturally, it is easy to be defeated with a small number, not to mention the elite soldiers led by Zhang He.

There was no suspense about the progress of the battle, it was completely a one-sided massacre.

Luo Qi said lazily: "The Yellow Turban Army is raging everywhere, like weeds that can't be cut down. If we pacify one side, there will always be unrest in other places. If the soldiers are exhausted in the long run, we will really be in trouble."

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "I didn't expect that even you would be in trouble."

Luo Qi said calmly: "The Yellow Turbans are like stars scattered across the wilderness. We can no longer run for our lives. Have you found out where their main force is?"

Huang Yueying said: "Thanks to your trust, I have the right to issue some orders. I have sent out capable scouts to investigate, and finally got something... It seems that half of the main force of the Yellow Turban Army is transferring to the upper party. It seems that they want to Avoid us."

Luo Qi said: "If they want to escape, let's chase them. I want to see how long they can escape!"

A few days later, I went to the party.

Zhang He raised his hand and shouted: "Front Arrow Formation, form the formation!"

Yuan Jun quickly listened to the order and gathered into formation according to the instructions. The forwards opened up in an arrow shape, aiming directly at the Yellow Turban Army across the mountains and plains opposite.

The Yellow Turban Army was still disorganized and did not even have the most basic formation.

Pei Yuanshao, wearing a yellow turban on his head, straddling his sword, came out and said: "I am Pei Yuanshao, the general of the Yellow Turban Army. Who among you rats dares to fight?"

Zhang He ignored it and pointed forward: "Charge!"

Yuan Jun immediately obeyed the order and pounced on the opponent like a wolf and a tiger.

Roach was still watching all this from behind, once again witnessing the cruelty of the battlefield.

The situation this time was as usual, and it soon became one-sided. After the Yellow Turbans in the front were cut down, the remaining ones quickly began to run away, and then the battle turned into a pursuit.

Luo Qi sighed slightly: "I'm tired of playing hide and seek with them. Isn't there a better opponent?"

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "The Black Mountain bandits are dead, the Yellow Turban Party will be destroyed, and the only one left is Yuan Shao's mortal enemy Gongsun Zan. You should be satisfied at that time, right?"

Luo Qi chuckled and said: "Gongsun Zan is not worthy enough. What I am waiting for is Cao Cao."

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Cao Mengde?"

Roach nodded and said, "That's right."

Huang Yueying said lightly: "I remember you mentioned Guandu and Cao Cao last time. Is he really so crucial in your plan?"

Luo Qi chuckled and said: "In this plan, Cao Cao is the most important chess piece."

Huang Yueying said thoughtfully: "Although I don't understand it very well, I'm really interested. Cao Cao is not a big deal now. What do you want to use him for?"

Luo Qi said lightly: "I have already said that you'd better not understand these things too well."

Huang Yueying said: "You really still don't believe me?"

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "If you were trustworthy, you wouldn't use Xi Shi to test my weaknesses."

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "You have indeed noticed my little thoughts."

Luo Qi said calmly: "My patience is limited. If you are stubborn, maybe I need to consider actually getting married to Zhen Mi. This will save you from holding on to the engagement."

Huang Yueying frowned and said, "How could you do such a dirty trick?"

Luo Qi smiled and said, "Are you kidding me? Is there any difference between using evil and evil tactics?"

Huang Yueying sighed: "How on earth are you going to let the Zhen family go?"

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and said: "What Zhen Mi controls now is the common wealth of the Guo family and the Zhen family. Coupled with the profits gained from rebuilding Luoyang, isn't it great that such a huge asset is in her hands?" What?"

Huang Yueying said: "But she is the canary in your cage after all. You and I both know this."

Luo Qi smiled and said: "Although the canary is in a cage, she can have enough food and clothing. At least she doesn't have to be like these helpless Yellow Turbans, who may not even be able to save their own lives. You think you are doing her good, But how can you guarantee that being in a cage isn’t the best outcome for her?”

Huang Yueying said calmly: "I know Zhen Mi, so I know what she wants."

Roach raised his eyebrows and said, "Is freedom really that important?"

Huang Yueying looked at Luo Qi and said word by word: "Sometimes, it is more important than life."

Roach nodded and said, "It sounds reasonable, so I'll give you a chance."

Huang Yueying was slightly startled and said: "What opportunity?"

Luo Qi said calmly: "You help me establish my hegemony. When I am strong enough to not be afraid of the threat of Qin, I will release Zhen Mi from the cage and let you gain true freedom."

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Why should I believe you?"

Luo Qi smiled and said: "Why don't you believe me?"

Huang Yueying sneered: "When you grow up to the point where you are not even afraid of the Qin State, Zhen Mi and I will be even more powerless to do anything to you. By then, we will all be fish on the chopping board, and we will not be slaughtered by you?"

Luo Qi nodded and said: "That makes sense, but there are a few omissions."

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "What's the omission?"

Luo Qi smiled and said: "I still remember what you said before. It is indeed very interesting. I am not asking you, and you agree that there is no room for refusal. You must know better than anyone else that if you want to get me by conventional means, The engagement contract in hand...is such a difficult thing."

Huang Yueying sighed: "It seems that I have fallen into your net and there is no way out."

Luo Qi smiled and said: "The first step now is to eradicate the Yellow Turbans. I want you to cooperate with my arrangements. Zhang He will capture some of the Yellow Turbans later, and then it will be up to you to force these guys to confess and let them reveal other major troops." marching direction and purpose, and you will definitely not let me down, right?"

Huang Yueying looked away and said calmly: "I can only do my best."

At this moment, she already had a premonition that the Zhen family might never escape his control.

But even so, she could only persist.

As Roach said earlier, she had no choice.So we can only move forward along the path arranged by him until we reach the end.

Use this to make up for the guilt of the original miscalculation.
