Chapter 223 A comeback against the wind!

Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

It snowed heavily in the sky, and the whole palace was filled with joy because of the great victory in Nanyang.

But at this moment.

A small yellow doorman quickly arrived at a side hall in the palace and spoke something in Zhang Rang's ear, which made Zhang Rang pee in fear.

He looked miserable and grabbed the little Huangmen's clothes, "Seriously?"

"Seriously!" Xiao Huangmen was about to cry.

Zhang Rang, on the other hand, was distraught. He hesitated again and again, and finally... rushed to the Deyang Hall of the North Palace.

In Deyang Palace, a scene of joy...

The great victory of Nanyang Changshe and the capture of the Taiping Dao envoy "Zhang Mancheng" in one fell swoop undoubtedly gave a shot in the arm to the court and officials.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao and a few other officials... all their plans came to nothing.

Yuan Shao also hoped that if Nanyang could continue to maintain a stalemate, it would be best if Zhu Jun's entire army was wiped out all the way without anyone noticing, and then... Lu Zhi would be able to raise the bandits' self-respect and continue to strengthen his army, which would have a great impact on the future situation. Great help.

But... now...

"Alas..." Yuan Shao was smiling, but his heart was already filled with excitement and discomfort!

At this time, no matter what the purpose was, all the officials in Deyang Palace were filled with smiles, like...the mighty Yellow Turban Army was nothing more than that.

Who would have thought... At this moment, Zhang Rang quickly broke into it, and he knelt down with a "snap" sound.

"Your Majesty, an urgent message... an urgent message from Jizhou!"

Looking at Zhang Rang's expression, Liu Hong guessed something, frowned and said: "All the ministers are here in the palace, you can just speak frankly..."

Zhang Rang said with a cry, "Your Majesty, I... I have just received an urgent message. In Jizhou... General Huangfu's troops were... besieged in Quyang City. An army of more than 100,000 thieves surrounded Quyang. They took advantage of the favorable terrain to set up an ambush. By cutting off the supply of reinforcements, they are trying to... trap General Huangfu to death!"

actually…

Huangfu Song was not a member of the eunuch family, and even... Zhang Rang hated Huangfu Song deeply.

But...relationship is one thing, situation is another.

The Yellow Turbans were everywhere, and the most violent cause was in Jizhou where Zhang Jiao was located. And the victory in Nanyang, no matter how brilliant it was... was only a local battlefield and did not help much in the overall situation.

But... if Huangfu Song, whom the emperor personally worshiped, died in the hands of Zhang Jiao of Jizhou, the officers and soldiers would collapse immediately. This would be a major event that would shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

If there are no big men, how can we still have the good life of being their ten-constant servants?

As soon as this statement came out...

Emperor Liu Hong was stunned, and so were all the officials. No one expected that... Huangfu Song, who had been advancing so triumphantly and retaking half of Jizhou's territory, would be besieged in Quyang City...

Taiwei Qiaoxuan was in charge of the military affairs of the Han Dynasty. He asked keenly, "It is mentioned in the urgent letter, how many days can the general hold on?"

Zhang Rang spoke tremblingly, "Three days have passed since the letter was received... and as mentioned in the letter, none of General Huangfu's supplies have entered Quyang City, and the food and grass brought with the army can only last for five days... "

——Five days!

Liu Hong stood up suddenly, his pupils widened and said, "Five days? That is to say, in two more days, the general's troops will die without a fight!"

Qiao Xuan said quickly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. As I see it, General Huangfu is the general whom Your Majesty personally worships at the altar. He will definitely not sit back and wait for death!"

"The food is gone! What else can he do?" Liu Hong immediately asked...

Long Yan was furious...

No one knows better than him that the battlefield in Jizhou is related to the current situation of the world, and there is no room for error in the battlefield in Jizhou.

"Your Majesty..." Yuan Shao took a step forward, and he keenly grasped the opportunity: "The most urgent task is to dispatch Nanyang's troops and horses to assist Jizhou. General Zhu Zhonglang has just won a great victory, and the soldiers will be exhausted and will not be able to march long distances. Lu Zhonglang

The general has been in a stalemate with the enemy for many days without any fierce fighting...Now that his strength is intact, he can rush to the rescue of General Huangfu to ensure that the Jizhou battlefield will not collapse and disintegrate!"

Yuan Shao is based on rational analysis...

But in fact, he knew that it was impossible for Lu Zhi's troops and horses to reach Jizhou in two days, er, not even in twenty days. By the time these troops and horses arrived in Jizhou, Huangfu Song was already dead.

But at that time... Lu Zhi could still follow their original plan, raise the bandits' self-respect, become as big as possible... and accumulate strength!

Many released party members have repeatedly reconsidered...

Emperor Liu Hong also nodded helplessly. This was the only way to make up for it, but...it was just a pity that Huangfu Song had tens of thousands of soldiers...a pity, a pity!

At this moment, Liu Hong felt a pain in his body!

"According to Yuan Xiaowei's words, Shangshutai drafted and ordered Zhonglang to send Lu Zhi's troops northward... to disperse... to disperse the dynasty..."

Liu Hong's tone was full of a huge sense of loneliness and helplessness.

The ministers dispersed...

Only Xun Yu stayed.

Liu Hong also noticed him, and Liu Hong walked down the steps... "Xun Qing, do you have something to say to me?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, yes." Xun Yu pondered for a moment before opening his mouth, "Your Majesty, does your Majesty know who is General Huangfu's logistics officer this time?"

"who?"

"Yulin Liulang's sworn brother—Cao Cao!"

Xun Yu blurted out his words, Liu Hong was slightly startled, "He is the young master of Cao Dashi's farm family, he..."

Subconsciously, Liu Hong felt that Cao Cao's appointment as a logistics officer seemed to be of little help to the overall situation.

But Xun Yu's words continued, "Your Majesty, before Cao Mengde went on the expedition, I and Yulin Liulang gave him a letter. The content contained in it may provide a solution to this crisis!"

Huo…

Xun Yu's words made Liu Hong energetic.

His eyeballs blinked for a moment, and then...a dazzling light flickered in them.

He doesn't believe in Cao Cao, but he definitely believes in...his Yu'er!

Since Yu'er appeared, he has never let himself down!

"Xun Qing..." Liu Hong patted Xun Yu on the shoulder, "Today, I am most comfortable with your words!"

…

…

On the upper floor of Quyang City.

Huangfu Song summoned all the generals and pointed at the mighty yellow turban sergeants under the city tower...

He shouted: "Look, the formation of these moth thieves is in chaos. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of them, they are still scattered. Such an enemy will collapse at the first touch. What are you afraid of?"

"Haha, the leaders of these Yellow Turbans don't understand the tactics of warfare at all. Is there anyone who can garrison and camp like this? The enemy is more powerful than the enemy. They camp close to the grass and woods. This is a highlight of the main attack!"

Huangfusong was good at leading troops. He saw the fear of the soldiers when they were besieged. After some mobilization, sure enough... morale increased again.

And Huangfu Song methodically described the food in the city...proposing that it would be enough for two months, and he never deducted food from the distribution. Undoubtedly...this gave the soldiers more confidence.

But only Huangfu Jianshou knew...

My father is insisting forcefully. Under the current situation, if he shows the slightest hint of cowardice, everything will be of no use.

"Father…"

After all the soldiers retreated, only father and son Huangfu Song and Huangfu Jianshou were left on the city tower, together with... and several personal guards.

"There is only enough food for two days..."

Huangfu Jianshou lowered his voice as much as possible...

call…

After removing all disguises, Huangfu Song sighed. He squinted... and stared at the hundreds of thousands of yellow scarf sergeants outside the city. He pondered for a long time, and finally said with emotion: "If, if my father outside the city could arrange it in advance

One soldier and horse don't need to be too many, a thousand people are enough, then... you can set fire to the woods and cause chaos to the enemy. When the time comes..."

Huangfusong didn't finish speaking...

Because he knows that all of this is a beautiful yearning and vision.

"well…"

Huangfusong sighed again.

Huangfu Jianshou said: "Father, there is still a troop of troops outside our city!"

Hmm…

Huangfu Jianshou's words made Huangfu Song raise his head suddenly, but only for a moment, Huangfu Song shook his head again, "Are you talking about Cao Cao, the Cavalry Commander? What a pity..."

Huangfu Song sighed with emotion: "How could a grain transport army give up grain and fodder to surprise the enemy? What's more... At this time, setting fire to and robbing a camp requires so much courage and ambition. This Cao Cao... he..."

"Father, don't forget." Huangfu Jianshou reminded: "He is the eldest brother of Yulin Liulang, Yulin Liulang... so powerful, the person he can call his eldest brother must also be somewhat capable!"

this…

Haha... Huangfu Song smiled slightly and said, "Cao Cao is the adopted grandson of a eunuch, so don't put too much hope in him!"
To be continued...
