208. Chapter Twenty-eight The Yellow Turban Goes to Youzhou

The situation between the two armies was clear, and the surrounding terrain was flat. There was no way to think of a strategy. The best and most direct way was to attack by force. However, Yecheng had high walls and thick walls, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops in the city. Even if the Yellow Turbans were weak, they would not be able to defeat them.

It was not something Lu Zhi and his fifty thousand men could defeat.

"Bogui, what's your plan?" Lu Zhi turned around and saw his general, with a thoughtful look on his face, and couldn't help but ask.

The general known as Bo Gui bowed respectfully and said: "Teacher, there are nothing more than two ways to march and fight, one is positive and the other is surprising. Nowadays, attacking by force is not possible, and fighting head-on is useless. Naturally, we have to use clever strategies. The Yellow Turban army is strong.

, but it is not without its weaknesses.”

"Oh? Then tell me?"

"The Yellow Turbans number three hundred thousand, and consume huge amounts of food and grass. Yecheng alone cannot support them, so the students thought that they could do it with just one word!"

"Tell me carefully."

"The students thought that if they kept an eye on the rear of Yecheng and robbed the Yellow Turbans' food route, the 300,000 Yellow Turbans would naturally fall without a fight!"

Lu Zhi pondered for a moment and said: "That being said, there are many Yellow Turban soldiers and they can send out large armies at any time to protect food and grass. How can they rob them at will?"

"Besides, this responsibility is important, who can take it on?"

"Students are willing!" Bogui said immediately: "Please invite the teacher and students to form a cavalry army. The students will definitely stir up chaos in Yecheng!"

Seeing that Bogui was so confident, Lu Zhi nodded and joined the five thousand cavalry.

Bogui received the general's order and came out of the Chinese army's tent. He led the army himself, left the camp and went straight to the rear of Yecheng.

A few days later, most of the grain and grass in Yecheng was consumed. Zhang Jiao sent people to the rear to urge the grain and grass. The next day, 20,000 Yellow Turbans escorted the grain and grass to enter Yecheng when they were attacked by Bo Gui, causing thousands of losses and the grain and grass being burned.

Zhang Jiao was furious and sent people to pursue him.

It's a pity that Bogui is very knowledgeable in the art of war and how the cavalry fights. He doesn't confront Zhang Jiao head-on. He just wanders around. If he encounters a small group of yellow scarves, he will annihilate him with one blow. If he encounters a large group of yellow scarves, he will flee immediately!

Subsequently, the Yellow Turbans escorted grain and grass several times, no matter whether it was escorted by 20,000, 30,000, or even 50,000 troops, but Bogui either divided them or diverted the tigers away from the mountain, successfully burning the grain and grass.

Zhang Jiao had no choice but to withdraw from Yecheng and retreat to Julu.

Lu Zhi took the opportunity to pursue and kill Zhang Jiao, causing Zhang Jiao to suffer heavy losses.



On the other side, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan was Bo Cai, one of Zhang Jiao's top generals.

Bo Cai was a very brave man and was proficient in the art of war. He defeated Zhu Jun with the help of many people!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Huangfu Song immediately led his army to retreat to Changshe and was besieged by Bocai's army.



Over in Nanyang, the Yellow Turban leader Zhang Mancheng led his army to defeat more than ten cities in a row, and finally besieged Nanyang City, with victory in sight.

When the county governor Qin Jie saw that hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans were besieging Nanyang, he was anxious and couldn't think of a way. However, the Nanyang defenders had only ten thousand people and could not withstand Zhang Mancheng's attack. After thinking about it, Qin Jie summoned all the big families in the city and took action.

With love and reason, each family sent their own soldiers, a total of twenty to thirty thousand, to withstand Zhang Mancheng's attack.

Huang Zhong, the chief guard of the city gate, shot Zhang Mancheng to death with an arrow on the city wall. The Yellow Turbans were in chaos, and they elected Zhao Hong as their commander and continued to attack Nanyang.



Youzhou, Shanggu...

Chen Yaotian held several pieces of information in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Gongda, look." Chen Yaotian handed one of the cards to Xun You and said slightly: "Zhang Bao is really a talented person. He actually wants to go north to attack Youzhou..."

As he said that, Chen Yaotian shook his head repeatedly and actually laughed.
