When Taishi Ci rushed back to Fenggao City, it was already past Chen hour, but the sky was still dark. The dark clouds in the sky not only did not disperse, but turned into little ice crystals, which fell one after another. There was silence between heaven and earth, even the sound of falling snow could be heard.
Faintly audible.
Having no time to investigate the situation on the battlefield, Taishi Ci went straight to the prefect's mansion.
"Ziyi is back? How was the battle last night?" Huang Zhong was the only one present in the conference hall. After a long night of tossing, the veteran's face was a little tired, but his spirit was very strong. Seeing Tai Shici, he seemed a little surprised, but he smiled calmly.
, without the slightest hint of anxiety.
"That's not it." Tai Shici curled his lips and muttered.
Before he set off, Wang Yu specially held him in for a long talk in order to prevent him from taking things lightly.
At that time, Wang Yu's words were very exaggerated. He first analyzed the surrounding situation. Generally speaking, except for Youzhou, everyone in the world was an enemy. In particular, several major enemies in Yanzhou were probably attacking with the idea of perish together.
Taishan Army.
Although the heavy cavalry under Taishi Ci had amazing combat power, their number was too small, and their training time was not long enough, so they were far from reaching combat power.
All in all, the current situation is extremely dangerous, and Taishi Ci's bravery is the only hope to reverse the situation.
After receiving such encouragement, how could Taishi Ci not be excited? He immediately accepted the order and rushed to Guishan with two hundred heavy cavalry and multiple auxiliary troops.
Guishan is not far northeast of Bo County and only a few dozen miles away from Fenggao. If the enemy really tries to make a surprise attack, Bo County will be their last stronghold where they can rest.
Taishi Ci carefully selected the ambush location, waited patiently for the enemy, and declared his determination to die. As a result...
"Then Bao Xin is considered a prince after all, so how can he be so cowardly? He stopped just a few hundred steps away from the foot of the mountain, muttered for a while, and suddenly ordered to run! After all, he has an army of five thousand.
Ah, there are only two hundred men under a certain command, even if they are ambushed, the outcome is uncertain!"
After two days of cold wind blowing on Guishan Mountain, the pent-up strength was not released, which made Taishi Ci feel depressed. When Huang Zhong asked, he started to complain.
"Perhaps he has already received the battle report from the front?" Huang Zhong listened patiently, and occasionally chimed in with a few words.
"I think so too."
Taishi Ci shook his head to get rid of the regrets in his mind, and said bitterly: "It's Xu Fu's fault again. He obviously intercepted all the previous spies, why did he let them go at this juncture? It must be so.
It was his plan and he came to steal someone’s credit!”
The conflict between Taishi Ci and Xu Shu had a strange origin and process. It was a completely innocent disaster. Huang Zhong didn't know why military advisor Jia Xu turned a blind eye to it, but he originally intended to be a peacemaker. But now, looking at Taishi Ci's resentment, he didn't know why he turned a blind eye to it.
It's so profound that it can no longer be persuaded by the power of words and words. In the other party's heart, Xu Shu is simply synonymous with conspiracy.
"Ziyi doesn't need to worry. Bao Xin retreated without a fight. There will be many battles in the future." Completely subconsciously, Huang Zhong said comfortingly in Wang Yu's usual tone.
"I know this, and I just want to ask when I come back this time." Taishi Ci looked around and asked in a low voice: "Brother Han Sheng, how was the battle last night? How many casualties did our army have? What was the result?
"
"Uh..." Huang Zhong's face dimmed, and then he sighed: "Oh, brothers are all loyal and brave people, but God's will is unpredictable, and with the chaos last night, our army still lost nearly 30% of our brothers; fortunately, the Yellow Turbans
The army has been completely defeated and is no longer a threat. By the way, the lord also captured the bandit chief with his own hands..."
"Have you caught Zhang Rao?"
"No, it's the little Yellow Turban Master."
"With four thousand against two hundred thousand, with only a thousand brothers killed or injured, we can achieve such a great victory..." Tai Shici said a few words with a look of fascination, but suddenly realized something was wrong. Huang Zhong seemed not to be talking about the entire army, but the whole army.
yes……
"Brother Han Sheng, you don't mean to say that the men lost in our army are all under your command, right?"
"When Gongming sent out troops, the Yellow Turban Army had completely collapsed. Since the Lord has captured the Little Yellow Turban Master, there is no need to cause more killings."
"..." Taishi Ci opened his mouth. He knew Wang Yu's raid plan and agreed with it, but he never expected that victory would come so easily.
Huang Zhong’s soldiers and horses? There are only a hundred people in total, okay? A loss of 30%, which is thirty! This casualty ratio is indeed high, but if you think about the raid process and then look at the results, this loss can be completely ignored
Don’t count!
Flying from the sky and landing in a company camp of 200,000 troops for a night battle, it can be said that from the moment the raid started, half of the lives of these 100 people were lost. Those who can save their lives are all thanks to God.
's darling.
"Except for the lord and the large group of men who took action, the others were just firing cold arrows..." In order to divert Taishi Ci's attention and prevent him from focusing his hatred on Xu Shu, Huang Zhong carefully recounted the battle last night.
Taishi Ci listened in confusion, his face changing from red to dark.
Jumping down from the sky and rushing into battle, fighting one against a thousand? This is really fascinating. If I had known this, what would be my way out? If I had also...
"As expected!" Tai Shici suddenly said.
"Sure enough?" Huang Zhong was a little confused.
Taishi Ci subconsciously replied: "You still have to stay with the lord in the war! Brother Han Sheng, you are still too steady. If it were me, I would definitely not just shoot cold arrows on one side, but directly outflank Zhang Rao. Let's see what the thief Zhang Rao can do."
Where to escape!"
This sentence had obviously been lingering in his mind for a long time, so he said it smoothly. After saying it, he realized that it was wrong. It was a bit rude to Huang Zhong to say this.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Huang Zhong waved his hand nonchalantly with a broad smile: "Before the surprise attack started, the Lord had already discussed this matter with a certain person, and he also intended for you to take over the special force. Since you also have this idea, but
It’s just right.”
"Seriously?" Taishi Ci's eyes widened. He grabbed Huang Zhong's arm and even shook it twice. Then he felt rude. He withdrew his hand, scratched his head, and asked with some embarrassment: "Brother Han Sheng, what are you doing?"
…”
"The war in Qingzhou is basically over. There shouldn't be any large-scale wars in the future. However, we are surrounded by enemies, so we have to guard against..."
Huang Zhong quite admired Taishi Ci, who didn't have much scheming, acted straightforwardly, but was extremely brave. He was a pure military commander, and if you had to apply secular etiquette to him, you would just be asking for trouble.
What Huang Zhong admired more was Wang Yu, not to mention his vision in looking at people and his broad-mindedness in employing people. What was even more rare was his determination. The Lord was also an adventurous person, but unlike Tai Shi Ci, his
Much more control.
"What my lord means is that in the coming period, the main task will be to recuperate and recuperate, and we will not take the initiative to start a war or expand the territory, so as not to lengthen the front line and allow the enemy to take advantage of it."
"Don't attack Jibei?"
"Of course not." Huang Zhong smiled and shook his head. It was easy to deal with Bao Xin, but Liu Dai's main force was in Dongwuyang. It was hard to say whether Taishan's action of sending troops would touch the fragile nerves of the Yanzhou governor. If Taishan
Starting a war with Liu Dai will only give Cao Cao an advantage.
"The Jibei Kingdom is not large, but it borders Pingyuan, Dongjun, Dongping, and Lu. It is surrounded by enemies on all sides and has no danger to defend. Occupying this place is not worth the gain. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity of revenge to squeeze some benefits."
"That's it." Taishi Ci sat back, half-closed his eyes, and rehearsed the situation in Taishan and Qingzhou in his mind. Then he nodded, clasped his fists to Huang Zhong and said, "Then Ci would like to congratulate Brother Han Sheng for leaving the town.
Already."
He just doesn't like to think. Seriously, he is very good at strategy.
Qingzhou is the later Jiaodong Peninsula and the area surrounding the Bohai Sea. The terrain of being surrounded by the sea on three sides has caused Qingzhou to suffer heavy losses from various sea intrusions in recent years, but it is strategically advantageous.
Judging from the current situation, the main threat comes from Yanzhou. Although Xuzhou has an ambiguous attitude, the possibility of turning against each other is not high. Wang Yu gave the plain to Gongsun Zan, and the threat from the north was also eliminated.
After Wang Yu moved to Qingzhou, the two counties of Taishan and Jinan became the front line. It was obvious that Wang Yu planned to let Huang Zhong leave the town and take charge of his own affairs.
"I am guarding Mount Tai, Gongming is guarding Jinan, and my lord has moved his troops to Linzi. At least within one or two years, Qingzhou will be as safe as Mount Tai. There may not be many wars after that. Most of them will just clear out the remaining bandits in the territory to train troops, but it depends on my lord.
I mean, these battles should be handed over to the special forces, so Ziyi doesn’t have to worry about being useless."
Huang Zhong's words were half true and half false. Wang Yu would expand the special force and would also let Tai Shici lead troops to train, but the wars in the country were probably not as frequent as he said. He just wanted to comfort the other party.
"Easy to say, easy to say." To Huang Zhong's surprise, Tai Shici rolled his eyes and suddenly laughed proudly. When he asked, the other party was mysterious and refused to answer, which made the veteran very puzzled.
"Where is my lord now?" Taishi Ci looked around and changed the subject.
"In the back hall, with that little Heavenly Master... Ziyi, you..." Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Taishi Ci leaning behind the screen, trying to eavesdrop. Huang Zhong couldn't laugh or cry.
He wanted to stop it, but there was no time.
Fortunately, he didn't have to worry for too long, and he didn't know what Taishi Ci heard. After a moment, he jumped back as if he had been stung by a bee, and asked with a look of shock on his face: "Brother Han Sheng,
Then, that little Heavenly Master is actually a woman?"
"That's right." Huang Zhong nodded. He was also surprised when he first heard about this, but he was not surprised that Taishi Ci was like this.
Taishi Ci asked hesitantly: "What about her appearance..."
"Well," Huang Zhong glanced at Tai Shici meaningfully and replied calmly: "She always wore a bamboo hat, even when she entered the back hall. Why did Ziyi ask this? Could it be that he meant to be a gentleman?
"
"No, no," Taishi Ci shook his head as if playing a drum, and then said something that aroused Huang Zhong's curiosity, "I am worried about my lord."
