When Xu Xuan, the governor of Qi County, made his decision, the entire Linzi City was moved by the news.
The mobilization of soldiers for city defense, the preparation of food and grass, the inventory of armaments, and the recruitment of men and women to accompany the army in front of the whole city...
This series of actions is equivalent to a formal announcement from the official to the private sector.
There was indeed another rebellion of yellow scarf thieves in Qi County.
In order to appease people and dispel the rumors, the government even issued a notice not long after.
Now Wang Zheng's name and his current power are really known to everyone in the city.
It turns out that he is a yellow-mouthed boy?
It turns out that there are only more than 10,000 people?
The people of Linzi City were completely relieved.
The Yellow Turban Uprising has appeared quite frequently in recent years.
Previously, a total of 300,000 Yellow Turbans were completely defeated by Zhou Mu with 30,000 people. Now there are more than 10,000 thieves...
How big a wave can it make?
And many wealthy nobles who knew the inside story felt that Xu Xuan was making too much of a fuss.
To deal with the yellow turban bandits with such a small force, six thousand troops were required!
It's enough to mobilize the troops from the two neighboring counties, but they also need to send out the guards' soldiers to participate?
Although it was County Lieutenant Dong Lin who came to inform, these people all knew that it was Xu Xuan who really made the decision.
However, the prefect and the county lieutenant spoke at the same time, and it was hard for them to offend these two men, so they finally cooperated.
Sometimes, people are very strange.
Once a fixed impression is formed, it is very likely that the complete logical ability will be lost in related matters.
The common sense Wang Yi said is actually not just the overall combat power of the Yellow Turbans.
Also, most people's first impression of the leader of this peasant uprising is that he is ignorant, vulgar and short-sighted.
In a sense, it can be regarded as the legacy given to him by the predecessors before Wang Zheng.
Because Guangrao fell too quickly, Xu Xuan had already paid enough attention to Wang Zheng, the Yellow Turban, on the previous point.
But on the latter point, Xu Xuan, like everyone else, only considered it from the perspective of "common sense."
Not many confidentiality measures were taken on many key information, especially the most critical troop mobilization.
He didn't know that Wang Zheng was a time traveler from later generations.
Little did he know that even if he was just an otaku in later generations, Wang Zheng would attach far more importance to intelligence in war than most people of this era.
So when the people of Linzi learned about it, while Dong Lin was still waiting for the troops to come to join...
A group of people are already preparing to inform Wang Zheng.
They were Lu De, one of the majors of the Tianjun, and several cavalrymen from the Tianzhu camp.
Before Wang Zheng captured Guangrao, he had quietly come to Linzi disguised as a merchant and lurked for many days.
Everyone in this group of people is in the system team, and there can be no problems with their loyalty.
They have only one purpose here.
Collect all intelligence in Linzi City, especially the mobilization of troops.
After sorting out and confirming the news, Lu De immediately arranged for two people to ride back to Guangrao overnight.
...
"Six thousand people, including one thousand light cavalry, five thousand infantry, plus nearly a thousand handymen..."
After reading the contents on the slip, Wang Zheng was slightly surprised. He looked at the people on the field and smiled:
"This governor is more cautious than expected."
"No matter how cautious you are, it's useless." Wu Sheng said with a smile: "This small force is just to send us equipment."
Everyone agreed.
Xu Fang, who had a calm temperament, handed the letter to Pan Zhang after reading it, and nodded: "If we destroy this official army, it will be much easier to capture Linzi next."
After successive victories, everyone is confident in the combat power of the heavenly army and is even proud of it.
Officers and soldiers are also different.
Even the elite troops of Yu Jinniu Gai and other battle-hardened divisions were completely annihilated by them, not to mention the 6,000 city defense garrison of Qi County.
"General, the general is a little strange, why do they dare to take the initiative to attack." Xu Fang said doubtfully, glancing at Yu Jin while speaking.
"Hasn't Qijun received the news that we defeated Captain Yu's elite force yet?"
Affected by the royal government, Xu Fang also attached great importance to intelligence, so he was very puzzled.
"Many things will always feel incredible if you look at them after they happened." Wang Zheng looked at Yu Jin: "Captain Yu, judging from your marching route, Linzi is indeed behind us, but the army went out to quell the chaos without notifying us.
Linzi, didn’t you tell me about the counties and counties along the way?”
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Is it because he feels confident that he will win and is eager to win?"
After a long while, Yu Jin nodded and said solemnly: "The arrogant soldiers are undefeated. The ancients will never deceive me."
"These are golden words." Wang Zheng nodded and looked around at everyone: "You should also remember it carefully."
When everyone agreed, Wang Zheng looked at Yu Jin with great interest.
"Captain Yu, what do you think about Qijun sending troops?"
"You have a better chance of winning." After thinking for a moment, Yu Jin replied in a deep voice: "Firstly, the troops are strong, and secondly, since you sent people to spy on the situation, you must have had a plan in advance."
"I'm not very familiar with the terrain of Qi County. If there is suitable terrain within the two counties, you will definitely set up an ambush; if not, you may resort to the same trick to fake a surrender and lead into the city."
Having said this, Yu Jin paused, shook his head and said:
"Although I don't know how you can develop such a strong army, you always resort to dangerous tactics, which is unwise to sacrifice your strengths and gain your weaknesses."
"I just let you win a few games by luck, sooner or later...hehe."
But he stopped talking.
Even though the words were not finished, most of the people could hear the sarcasm and even some gloating in the tone, and they all showed angry faces.
Only Xu Fang and Pan Zhang were thoughtful after hearing this.
"Captain Yu suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his sentence, thinking he had woken up and was afraid of reminding me."
Wang Zheng was not surprised at all, his expression remained as usual:
"You think I stayed in Guangrao for too long and the delay was too long. Even if I defeat this army and even capture Linzi, I'm afraid Cao Cao will have sent another army to suppress the border by then, right?"
"But since the captain knows the strength of our army, isn't he afraid that Cao's army will fail again?"
"This Yellow Turban of yours is indeed unique and has outstanding combat power." Yu Jin sneered and said in a deep voice:
"But I think you don't know much about Caozhou Mu."
"Zhou Mu is suspicious by nature. Niugai and I haven't sent back the battle report for a long time. He must have guessed the general situation. No matter how important Xuzhou is, he will not sit back and watch the chaos in the base camp."
"The troops will definitely be sent out again, and... the army will definitely be mobilized and go all out!"
"No, I know Cao Cao better than you think." Wang Zheng said seriously: "Maybe, I know him better than you."
"Actually, it's just that you don't understand the current situation." A smile appeared on Wang Zheng's lips: "Captain Yu, do you know why I chose this time to rebel?"
"Humph, it's nothing more than taking advantage of Zhou Mu's attack on Xuzhou and the lack of troops in the territory." Yu Jin snorted coldly.
"This is one of the reasons, but not the whole reason." Wang Zheng said lightly:
"The more important reason..."
"Cao Cao will soon have no time to trouble me."
Facing Yu Jin's surprised look, Wang Zheng looked confident, but a comment came to his mind.
