"Lord, don't worry, we were not prepared enough this time. After the Yellow Turbans retreat this time, they will definitely be able to reorganize their armaments and we will not let the same thing happen again." Kong Rong's general Zong Bao said from the side.
Kong Rong frowned. To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied with Zong Bao. In the past, probably because Kong Rong himself had no ambitions and Beihai did not participate in many wars, Kong Rong felt that Zong Bao was quite pleasing to his eye. Zong Bao's conversation, steady temperament, brilliant strategies and tactics, including his overall view, all made Kong Rong very satisfied. Kong Rong believed that although Zong Bao was not as good as those world-famous generals, he could still be regarded as a good general.
Until this time, Beihai really encountered a crisis, but Zong Bao had no effect at all. Kong Rong was instantly dissatisfied with him. Probably Kong Rong was biased. He looked down on the Yellow Turban thief. Kong Rong felt that if you can't even defeat an unknown Yellow Turban thief, then what's the use of your Zongbao?
At this moment, Kong Rong truly understood what it means to talk on paper. In the past, Kong Rong always looked down on those rude men who had not read books. He thought they were rough people. In addition to being powerful in martial arts, did they really understand the art of war and fight? Now, Kong Rong felt that it was better to find a rough guy who could kill Guan Hai directly on the battlefield, and the group of leaderless yellow scarf thieves would disperse immediately.
All in all, after saying so much, there is only one meaning. Kong Rong has no confidence in Zong Bao. He feels that Zong Bao is not good. No matter how Zong Bao prepares, he still can't defend the next time the Yellow Turban thief comes. For a while, Kong Rong was already thinking about seeking foreign aid and planning to recruit warriors.
As a result, before Kong Rong had time to think about it, he heard a soldier exclaiming,
"Why didn't the Yellow Turbans retreat?"
Kong Rong looked up and found that after the Yellow Turban thieves transported the food to the rear, the soldiers guarding the front showed no signs of leaving.
"What's going on?" Kong Rong asked Zong Bao.
"No rush." Zong Bao seemed calm and personable, "The speed of transporting food is very slow. The Yellow Turban thieves are probably worried that we will take the opportunity to attack. In order to protect the food and grass, they temporarily stayed in place. If it were me, I would They will do the same thing. The more the Yellow Turban thieves are like this, it means that they care more about food. If they are short of food, they will soon retreat."
Listening to Zong Bao's confident tone, Kong Rong felt relieved again. Zong Bao's strength is a bit low, but his vision and overall view should be relatively accurate.
The Yellow Turban Army did not retreat, so Kong Rong was naturally unable to leave the city wall. He just followed the movements of the Yellow Turban while chatting wordlessly with the people around him. As they chatted, everyone became restless.
It seems like a long time has passed, right? It seems that you have drank several bowls of tea, right? At this pace, the Yellow Turban Thieves really have no intention of retreating!
"Zong Bao!" Kong Rong shouted coldly.
"My subordinate is here!" Zong Bao responded quickly.
"Go down and ask, what does this Yellow Turban thief mean?!" Kong Rong looked very angry. Qingzhou Yellow Turban's reaction actually said it all. Kong Rong hated such people who broke their promises. Sure enough, thieves are thieves!
Zong Bao accepted the order and went to make arrangements immediately. He was smart and did not go out of the city gate to negotiate in person. He sent a brave soldier and quickly conveyed Guan Hai's intention.
"What the Yellow Turban thief means is that the food we gave him is not enough." Zong Bao reported cautiously, with a bad look on his face. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban was really acting out of common sense.
"Not enough? How much is enough? Empty all the granaries for me!" Kong Rong said angrily.
Zong Bao twitched the corner of his mouth and replied weakly,
"That's really what they planned."
"What??"
Kong Rong's voice rose, and he couldn't believe that what he heard was true. Is there really someone in this world who is so ignorant and so pushy?
"I heard the exact words of the leader on the other side. He said that the purpose of the Yellow Turbans is food. If Beihai runs out of food, they will naturally not come to attack us again." Zong Bao said.
"It's ridiculous!" Kong Rong was furious. He didn't know whether he was saying that the Yellow Turban thief was ridiculous, or he was angry that his previous behavior was ridiculous. In short, Kong Rong realized that he had been fooled into thinking he was an honest person, "Zong Bao, you immediately Lead the troops out to raid and let those yellow scarf thieves know that Beihai is not someone to be bullied!"
Kong Rong was indeed furious, but he was not stupid. He knew that Zong Bao would not be the opponent of the Yellow Turban Thieves. Therefore, what Kong Rong wanted now was not to win the battle, but to show their tough attitude in Beihai. If you Yellow Turban thieves want food, you have to pay the price! As long as the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans realize that Beihai is a tough nut to crack, they will naturally retreat after having reaped the benefits.
Kong Rong was smart, and Zong Bao, who was chosen by him, was also not stupid. To be honest, after the first fight, Zong Bao realized that he was no match for Guan Hai, so he was unwilling to fight him if he could. But Zong Bao understood Kong Rong's mood at this time and knew Kong Rong's true purpose. He could not escape from this battle and had to fight. If he chooses to retreat, Zong Bao believes that Kong Rong will be extremely angry and will immediately remove his official position.
"My subordinates take orders! Let the Yellow Turban thieves know how powerful we are!"
······
outside the city,
Sun Quan knew exactly what would happen next, because he had already simulated it using the illusion of Sansi.
"Kong Rong is also proud. As expected, our move will definitely anger him. I believe that the generals in the city will come out to challenge him soon." Sun Quan said to Guan Hai.
"General? Is he the pretty boy from before?" Guan Hai said with a smile. When he smiled, several yellow scarf leaders next to him also started laughing.
Sun Quan also had a smile on his face,
"Yes, that's him. There is no one in Beihai City, and Kong Rong doesn't have two generals under his command. According to my observation, this man is cautious and timid. General Guan, can you keep him within three moves?" Sun Quan said, because after three moves, Zong Bao will escape. This is the information Sun Quan got in the illusion of San Si.
"Three moves? Just a pretty boy, one move is enough!" Guan Hai's face was full of disdain.
"Oh? How about we make a bet?" Sun Quan said immediately. He knew that Zong Bao was not Guan Hai's opponent, and was worried that Guan Hai would underestimate the enemy and let Zong Bao run away, so Sun Quan wanted to stimulate Guan Hai.
After hearing what Sun Quan said, Guan Hai became angry, thinking that Sun Quan looked down on him.
"What bet?"
"Bet for a day." Sun Quan held out a finger.
"One day?" Guan Hai didn't know why.
"One day is limited to the battlefield. If I lose, I will take orders from you, make suggestions for you, and even charge into battle. If I win, you will take orders from me for one day." Sun Quan pointed at Guan Hai and said.
Guan Hai narrowed his eyes. Even if Sun Quan really lost, how could he ask Sun Quan to charge into the battle? At most, he would ask Sun Quan to help with ideas. It can be said that this gambling money is nothing to Sun Quan. On the contrary, controlling Guan Hai is equivalent to controlling the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, even if it is only for one day. What does Sun Quan want to mobilize the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to help him?
