[Comprehensive martial arts] I fall into the city

Li Che naturally had Li Che's considerations in rushing to act at this moment.

If there is still a glimmer of hope for the Han Dynasty, it would be a serious crime for Zhang Chao to attack neighboring counties and counties as a county guard. However, the Han Dynasty today is no longer the Huanghuang Empire of the past. In the hands of the gentry, as long as Xuzhou is occupied first, even if the imperial court really sends someone to question him, as long as Zhang Chao can bear it, no one will confront him head-on.

In the land of the two counties, there are 6 horses, all food and grass are available, and there is no preparation for a long-term battle. Even if the troops are sufficient, they will not be able to fight for a year or a half.

At this time, news came from the north that Yuan Shao had led the Kwantung Allied Forces to join forces with Cao Cao in accordance with the emperor's edict, and appealed to the world, asking the officers and soldiers of all towns to join forces to attack Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao came from a very high family background, and his ancestors were four generations and three princes, with a great reputation. According to his family background, only the Hongnong Yang family, who is also the fourth generation and three princes, can be compared with him. The real and powerful Yuan family is the golden signboard.

Yuan Shao ascended, and the princes of all the towns responded. From his younger brother Yuan Shu to Jizhou governor, Yuzhou governor, Yanzhou governor, and more than a dozen county guards arrived with troops, ranging from 4 to [-] soldiers and horses, and as many as three [-] people rushed to Luoyang City together.

There is a lot of momentum, but Li Che is not worried. The food and salaries of the 50 million rebels are not a small amount. As the leader of the rebels, Yuan Shao will not waste this money. As long as Dong Zhuo defends the city, it will take less than two or three months , The rebels also dispersed.

Apparently Dong Zhuo also understood this truth. Xiliang iron cavalry defended Luoyang and could not get out. Changsha prefect Sun Jian was a famous general.

Later, a warrior Guan Yu warmed wine and killed Hua Xiong, which attracted Lu Bu, the god of war, to come out in person. Afterwards, Guan Yu and his two brothers fought fiercely against Lu Bu, scaring him away, and the rebel army became famous for a while.

Zhang Chao panicked.

After taking down Tangyi, he kept collecting food and conscripting soldiers non-stop, and got a total of 8 soldiers and horses. It was quite difficult to beat Xuzhou. Tao Qian himself was a fierce man who had fought the Yellow Turban. In the battle, the combat power was close to that of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang iron cavalry. His [-] horses were extremely moist, but the combat power was half as much. He didn't dare to fight Tao Qian at this time.

Originally, according to his thinking, Mr. Li said that the rebel army would fight for at least a period of time. He gathered the Tangyi and then recuperated and trained his troops. , but now that the rebel army is about to break through Luoyang, he is still drying up here!

Zhang Chao went to Li Che to discuss with his heart full of worries, but he returned after being fed up.

Li Che wanted to go to Xuzhou, but he didn't think about head-to-head at all. Xuzhou was originally occupied by the Yellow Turbans. Tao Qian took Xuzhou from the Yellow Turbans before he was granted the title of Xuzhou Shepherd. He can be said to be loved by everyone in Xuzhou, and everyone in Xuzhou hates him. You can't die for the king. Under such circumstances, using Zhang Chao's little team to fight is simply hitting an egg against a stone.

Li Che sent someone to contact the largest group of Yellow Turban Army not far from Xuzhou.

After this group of Yellow Turban Army is known as the General of the Earth, the leader is also surnamed Zhang, who is not known to the outside world. He calls himself Zhang San, and has nearly ten thousand soldiers. Tao Qian has beaten him badly in recent years, so he can only lead the army to occupy a piece of land in Wu County. Confront Tao Qian across the state.

After leaving Xuzhou, Zhang San's life is not much easier. Wu County is a county with a large population, with many powerful landlords, and the smaller ones have thousands of nursing homes.

Farming the land can't grow so much food, and there is no easy target to grab. Since arriving in Wu County, this group of distressed yellow scarves has hardly had enough food.

The Yellow Turban Army is really miserable, sitting on the general trend of the people, but after the leader died of illness, they fell apart and fought in various places. Sitting in a high position depends not only on seniority but also on some unwritten cleverness. There are few truly capable leaders, which leads to being beaten like a bereaved dog even when they have a huge advantage.

Of course Li Che was not contacting Zhang San, but several generals under Zhang San. Zhang San considered himself a descendant of the Yellow Turban leader, so naturally he would not cooperate with an official like Zhang Chao. His subordinates were different. .

No one wants to be hungry, and everyone wants to return to their hometown in a prosperous and prosperous way, so what about the tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans?Without Zhang San as the leader, the Yellow Turban Army can be transformed into a county officer and soldier. Such a good thing is almost impossible to ask for!

After Zhang San's death, several generals gathered their subordinates immediately, broke apart the pros and cons of what Li Che said, and talked from daytime to evening.

There is no way, a group of old peasants who can't read a few big characters, it's strange that they can understand people's polite words, and even they have to understand for a while before they understand.

After it made sense, except for a small number of Zhang San's die-hard supporters who couldn't accept it, most of them felt that this matter could be done. After all, the conditions offered there were too good. Household registration and three meals a day are enough temptations.

You must know that most people eat one meal a day at this moment. Except for those who work in the fields, they can eat two meals. The old and weak, women and children almost always drink a bowl of gruel to fill their mouths. They try to lie still and barely make a living. Just go down.

And Zhang Chao's army eats three meals a day!

Even if Guangling and Tangyi are quite rich, this condition is considered superior, let alone a group of Yellow Turban soldiers who have been hungry for several years?

As for fighting, where is there not fighting these days?Eating a full meal before death is a luxury for most people.

With strong support in place, the battle in Xuzhou is still difficult to fight, but Zhang Chao has two early advantages. One is that he himself is the county guard in Xuzhou, and all places are undefended against his face. Second, although he wants to recruit troops, Taking Tangyi, but the wind is very good, and people are rigid these days. They would rather die in their hometown than leave. In this way, even if Tao Qian vaguely knew that Zhang Chao was recruiting, he only regarded him as him. He wanted to catch the last train of Yuan Shaoyi's army, but he didn't think much about it.

After all, Zhang Chao's brain can't make any big disturbances.

Tao Qian, who had such thoughts in mind, soon suffered a head-on blow.

Guangling is not far from Xiapi, the seat of the Xuzhou government, and it only takes three days to march quickly to Xiapi via Suqian. The Yellow Turban Army leads the way. Nearly [-] troops marched fiercely. Pi.

Tao Qian had soldiers, but no one would send them into the city. Tao Qian and the Xuzhou Army were cut off when he realized it. Li Che didn't go by himself. Surrounding Xiapi to fight reinforcements, Tao Qian will open the city gate sooner or later as long as he can hold on.

For an old man who is sympathetic to the suffering of the people, he cannot just watch the people be trapped in the city until they starve to death.

In fact, Zhang Chao can't do it. He has shortcomings all over his body, and sometimes he is not very obedient. Therefore, before leaving, Li Che gave him a layer of mind control. Although this will make Zhang Chao's reaction slower and slower, his brain It's getting more and more stupid, but there is no other way.

After five days of siege, Tao Qian still had confidence in his Xuzhou army.

After ten days of besieging the city, there were already signs of food scrambling in the city, and Tao Qian gradually became worried.

After [-] days of besieging the city, the remaining food in the city gradually decreased, and the people's houses were closed for fear of being robbed of food.

According to Li Che's estimation, Xiapi should be able to last at least two or three months. The rebel army is far away in Luoyang, and the distant water cannot save the nearby fire. Tao Qian will give up sooner or later, but the situation is better than he imagined.

Although the autumn harvest has just passed, there should be a lot of surplus grain in the city, but Tao Qian has always been cautious. As soon as the grain is collected, it will be sent to the granary and taken over by the Xuzhou army. It is the real food without worrying.

However, even with [-] pigs, the Xuzhou army can't kill them in a short time. What's more, the Xuzhou army, Guangling and Tangyi counties are not low in combat power. In the middle, there is not much loss.

This is Li Che's tactic.

At this time, wars pay attention to recyclability. Few of the two armies will fight to the death. After all, life-saving is important. Every day, new recruits cannon fodder cut each other, and the main event is always behind.

In addition to this point, "fighting generals" are also emphasized at this time. As the name suggests, before the two armies engage in battle, they each send people out to fight to improve their own momentum. , it is easier to win in a fight, just like Guan Yu warming wine and beheading Hua Xiong, and the three-hero battle... This does not count. On the contrary, it will reverse their own momentum.

There are good generals in the Xuzhou army, but Zhang Chao has nothing useful under his command, so he simply omitted the part of the fighting generals and went straight to the fight, because he kept the elite at the front, and he was able to win consecutive battles against the cannon fodder of the Xuzhou army for a while. Under the sluggishness of the Xuzhou army, it was difficult to even change players.

After confronting each other abruptly for a month, Tao Qian was finally forced to open the city gate.

If it doesn't open, it won't work, the city is almost in chaos, and if the city gate is not opened, I am afraid that the scene of cannibalism will be staged in the affluent Xuzhou!

Tao Qian was already old, looking at Zhang Chao's eyes with sadness and anger mixed with fatigue, he didn't say any fierce words in the end, after all, this person is so terrible, if he said a few more words to anger him, he Tao Qian would be fine. Once he died, how could the people in the city be blamed?

Zhang Chao felt that his mind was numb, and after a while of reaction, he sent someone to imprison Tao Qian.

It must be because I have been too tired from fighting recently.

Tao Qian surrendered, and the Xuzhou army naturally surrendered. If Tao Qian died, Xuzhou would be in chaos, but if Tao Qian surrendered, the battle would not be able to continue.

After three months, Zhang Chao, governor of Guangling County, completed his promotion to Xuzhou Mu.
