Five days later, south of Changshe, Zhu Jun's camp was established.
Xi Zhicai took Du Hong and presented Zhu Kui's formation plan.
"I didn't expect that Huai Ming would be so bold and go deep into the tiger's den for the bandits."
Zhu Jun admired the picture and handed it to Chen Gong. After browsing it, he said happily: "With this picture, it is easy to break the wave. This battle should be remembered as the first contribution of Zhu Youjun's Sima."
"Master Zhonglang, Zhu Sima also said that I hope the general will send sentries to keep an eye on the south of the bandit camp. If a yellow kite flies up, that night will be the time to take action. Please send troops to the outside. He will burn the three major granaries. , and looked for an opportunity to assassinate Bo Cai and cause chaos to the enemy."
"Oh, a kite? What is this?" Everyone was puzzled.
Du Hong explained again according to what Zhu Kui said.
"Sure enough, Huai Ming has a wide range of miscellaneous knowledge and is also familiar with Lu Ban's skills." Chen Gong said. He knew Zhang Hong and obviously knew things related to Zhu Kui from him.
"Our unit only has 30,000 soldiers and horses. It is obviously impossible to completely wipe out the ant bandits. Unfortunately, Brother Huangfu is surrounded by everyone at the moment and cannot make contact. Otherwise, with the 40,000 soldiers and horses in the city, none of these ant bandits can escape. ." Zhu Jun said hatefully.
"General, don't be upset. Why send someone to inform General Huangfu? If there is a fire in the camp, the top of the city will be visible, and troops will naturally be sent to support. At worst, it will be easy to send a school to report when the fire breaks out." Chen Gong laughed. road.
Zhu Jun raised his forehead and decided in his heart: "Everyone will obey the order."
Sun Jian and other generals straightened their bodies one by one and waited for orders. After a while, the distribution was completed, and everyone returned to the camp to prepare.
At the same time, Cao Cao had just entered the territory of Yingchuan.
"How many days are there from Changshe?" Cao Cao asked the guide.
"My lord, it will be here in six days."
"Six days is too long. Ten days have passed since the imperial court received the emergency report. We must speed up the march." Cao Cao thought in his mind.
"Yuan Rang, inform the army to march forward at a trot and must reach Changsha within four days."
"Yes, General."
Xiahou Dun turned his horse's head and issued an order along the road: "The whole army is marching at a gallop, marching hastily."
In the first year of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, AD 184, in mid-June, it was the sixth day after Zhu Kui's false surrender.
Zhu Kui, Zhou Tai, and Liao Hua gathered in the tent. Liao Huafang returned from Sun Xia and learned: "My lord, Bo Cai has ordered another attack on the city in two days. Tan Ma learned that Lord Zhonglang's 30,000 soldiers and horses have already Here he is, he wants to take advantage of Master Zhonglang’s foothold to break through the city first.”
"Well, it's almost time. We have enough equipment in the past few days, and it's time to mass the offensive. It's time for us to take action. I want to take action tomorrow. What do you think?" Zhu Kui responded.
"Brother, why don't you wait until the next day before the army comes out of the camp to take action? Isn't it easier to succeed?" Zhou Tai asked.
Zhu Kui did not answer directly, but asked Liao Hua: "Yuan Jian, did Sun Xia mention that our logistics camps will be left behind at that time?"
"No, our battalion will stay in the camp with the other two commanders to guard against General Zhonglang's troops."
"Eldest brother is really good at predicting things. I think it must be when I made friends with Qu Shuai in the past few days, those people took advantage and arranged for us to guard the stronghold as expected."
"Stop flattering me. I ask you to use your brain more on weekdays. The army here is only about 70,000 to 80,000 people directly from Bo Cai. Naturally, we have to stay in the camp and preserve our strength to control Sifang Qushuai."
Zhu Kui continued: "I made good friends with those commanders, just to stay behind. It is important to understand the strength of the army. If we attack the city in the future, then tomorrow night is the time when we are most neglected. It is normal for this person, If it were you, the second brother, you would make sure the army is healthy and recharged on the eve of the battle."
"What the elder brother said makes sense. I will definitely keep my soldiers in good spirits and fight with the strongest fighting power." As soon as the words came out, he understood, and Zhou Taixun responded with a heart: "I will pay attention to it in the future."
"Yes!" Zhu Kui nodded...
"Big Tiger and Two Tigers will lead your brothers to the southeast and north granaries tomorrow night. Yuan Jian will go to the largest granary in the southwest. My second brother will follow me and take advantage of the chaos to approach Bo before taking action to assassinate him."
"After the incident is completed, Beiyingzhai will gather together to break out of the encirclement." Zhu Kui gave the final order.
On the second day, the sun was in the middle of the sky, and the sky was blue and cloudless.
To the south of Bocai Camp, Zhu Kui went to a remote place with Zhou Tai a little sneakily. Zhou Tai was the one who was looking for the wind. He pulled a yellow kite. After a while, this white simple kite appeared.
Flying in the sky.
On a small slope not far from here, two soldiers dressed as Han soldiers lay there quietly, looking at the sky and talking from time to time.
"Hey, what do you think this kite is?" a soldier asked.
"I don't know. The general said it was a piece of cloth flying in the sky and not moving away." The soldier on the other side replied.
"It's strange to stop and not go away. I only know that when the wind is strong, the cloth will float away with the wind, and then float further and further away, and finally disappear. There is a cloth flying in the air and standing still.
"The first soldier said funnyly.
"Look, there is a piece of yellow cloth flying up? A kite is rising from the bandit camp." A man wearing Han army armor rubbed his eyes and pointed to the sky opposite.
After the yellow kite rose, it stopped in the air and could not fly far. In fact, if the two of them got closer, they could see another thread holding the kite below.
It was a pity that they did not step forward. When they saw the kite stopped in the air and did not go away, they were sure it was what the general said.
The two looked at each other and said, "Go back quickly and report to the general."
"Report."
Outside Zhu Jun's stronghold, a loud cry rang out, and the soldiers trotted in quickly.
"Report to the general, the yellow cloth-shaped kite in the south has been rising."
"Okay." Zhu Jun slapped the table and said loudly: "Raise the account and order troops."
Sun Jian and the four generals rushed over. He was very puzzled as to why Zhu Jun suddenly sent such an urgent order. The time agreed upon by Zhu Kui before sending Du Hong to report should have to wait three more days. Could it be that Huangfu Song had changed his footsteps?
Speeded up.
After Sun Jian arrived, he was followed closely by Wang Cheng, who temporarily took charge of Zhu Kui's tribe. Soon everyone in the congregation had arrived.
Taking the first place in the tent, Zhu Jun formally spoke: "Sima Zhu Kui of the Right Army has sent back the news that tonight he will burn Bocai's food and grass. When we see the ant bandits' camp is on fire, we will rush in and defeat Bocai in one fell swoop.
.”
It turns out that this was the case. After waiting for many days, the war was finally about to begin. Sun Jian was filled with enthusiasm. The opportunity to kill the enemy and make achievements came again. This time he vowed to win Bo Cai's head. But he was a little curious in his heart, what was the kite?
He thought about it for many days and couldn't figure out what this thing looked like.
Zhu Jun pointed to the north of the military camp distribution map: "Wang Cheng, you lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to meet your army, Lord Sima, as agreed."
"Yes, General."
"This is Bocai's camp." The largest circle on the cloth marked the number of soldiers next to it. Zhu Jun pointed to Sun Jian and said: "After breaking the camp, all attack towards Bocai's tent. When the time comes, Wentai, you try to let him
Your family will ride across the stronghold and lead General Huangfu over. With the combined efforts of the two families, we will gather all the ant thieves in Yingzhou and Henan to annihilate this place."
Bocai was Yingchuan, the general commander of the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou. After the rise of his rebel army, ant thieves from all over the country came to worship and gathered under his command. In official history, in the battle of Changshe, Bocai was defeated, but the ant thieves dispersed. Afterwards, Huangfu Song didn't completely liquidate the situation until the end of July and killed that wave of talents.
Now, Zhu Jun's plan is to join Huangfu Song in an encirclement and annihilation battle. While they are gathered together, they will not let anyone go and pacify Yingchuan and Yuzhou in one fell swoop.
"Yes, Lord Zhonglang." Sun Jian responded, thinking about who he would send to the city to report the news. He didn't want to waste any power to affect his meritorious service...

"What are you two doing here?" A bell-like voice rang in Zhu Kui's ears.
The tall, bearded man who looked like an iron tower walked over with a few guards, looking like a senior officer.
The thin thread was tied to a set of wooden railings aside. Zhu Kui and Zhou Tai saluted and said, "Sir, we are soldiers of the logistics battalion. We are praying for blessings." This was the excuse he had thought up early in the morning.
"Pray for blessings?" The big man frowned and asked unclearly. He had never seen such a strange way of praying for blessings.
"This is a custom in our hometown. When the two of us heard that we were going to the battlefield again tomorrow, we let a yellow cloth fly into the sky to represent good luck and wish us good luck in surviving the battlefield."
In fact, before war, soldiers pray. This kind of thing often happens in the army, and the customs in different places are different, so the practices are different. However, flying kites and praying should not happen anywhere, but Zhu Kui bet on this weird thing Ceremony, these Yellow Turban Canal Commanders will not know why.
His kite was built over the past few days and overnight. It has not yet been tested. Fortunately, it was put into the sky as soon as it flew today.
When the big man saw the yellow cloth in the sky, he accepted the explanation with a hum. No wonder, Zhu Kui's yellow cloth was a kite made from the yellow scarf on his head. The yellow kite naturally means yellow sky, which is very consistent with peace. The Taoist teachings, so this big man no longer doubted him at once. Then he said in a arrogant tone: "I heard that there is a black young man in the logistics camp with extraordinary martial arts. He was praised by the boss a few days ago. Do you know him?"
Zhu Kui didn't expect that the incident had already spread, but he didn't know the name of the big man in front of him.
"That's right, I wonder who the general is?"
"Guan Hai of a certain family, let me see your martial arts."
Guan Hai was the most skilled in martial arts among the Yellow Turban thieves. As soon as he heard that there was a young man in the logistics camp who was good at martial arts and could compete with Bo Cai, he immediately became interested. He left the camp and looked around for advice. .
Zhu Kui did some research and found out that Guan Hai's information didn't need to be investigated by Xuanyuan Sword. He knew roughly that he was the most powerful general in Taiping Road and could compete with the martial sage Guan Yu. Now he wanted to give Guan Hai a try. skill.
"Young man, do it! Let's try our fists and kicks today. I won't hurt you." Guan Hai didn't take Zhu Kui seriously at all. He crossed his arms and felt strong self-confidence all over his body.
Seeing what Guan Hai said, Zhu Kui didn't worry too much and made up his mind, ready to give his skills a try.
"Then please give Guan Hai some advice!" After cupping his fists and saluting, Zhu Kui rushed forward and went head-on. He hit Guan Hai's cheek with a violent roundhouse kick with his right foot. This kick was the top level of Jeet Kune Do combat skills. The kicking skills are fast and fast.
Guan Hai immediately felt a strong wind hitting his face, his eyes stung, and his breathing was a little blocked. He knew that this kick was very violent. If he was hit, at least he would not be able to go to the battlefield tomorrow.
"Don't underestimate him." Guan Hai looked serious and quickly dodged back.
As soon as his right foot landed on the ground, Zhu Kui then raised his left leg up to his head, like a big ax falling to the ground, and struck the opponent's head hard, followed by another violent kick.
