This time they were not so lucky. The Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou knew that reinforcements were coming, so they quickly adjusted their response strategy and assigned a part of the Yellow Turban thieves to deal with it. During the melee, the soldiers on Youzhou side had not practiced for a long time, so their combat effectiveness Being so low, they had to retreat temporarily and set up camp thirty miles away.
This defeat made Liu Bei realize the importance of strategy. Thinking that Yu Yi had some strategies, he consulted.
Although Yu Yi had read some classics and knew a little bit about the art of war and strategies, that was limited to what was in the books. Decisions needed to be made on the spot at this time. He could provide ideas, but he was also afraid of not being able to figure out the truth of the other party, so he suggested: "It's definitely not possible for us to attack by force now, so we can only wait for the opponent here. I'm very happy to see that those yellow scarf thieves seem to have defeated us. They have been chasing us!"
Liu Bei sighed: "Goodbye, my dear brother!"
Yu Yi's eyes widened, and he felt that he didn't say anything.
So Liu Bei immediately made arrangements. Guan Yu led a thousand troops to ambush on the left side of the mountain. Zhang Fei led a thousand troops to ambush on the right side of the mountain. Liu Bei took Yu Yi to attract firepower and came out of the mountains on the left and right using the ringing gold signal. Answer.
At this time, Yu Yi figured out that Liu Bei planned to make a pocket array to make dumplings for the Yellow Turban thieves.
The army rested overnight. On the second day, Liu Bei, Yu Yi and Zou Jing gathered the remaining soldiers and went to challenge the main force of the Yellow Turban thieves.
The yellow scarf thieves had already been dazzled by yesterday's victory. They looked very excited when they saw the officers and soldiers of Youzhou again. Even if they rushed forward, Liu Bei also set up his formation, fought and retreated, and reached the mountain where he was ambushing. At the same time, the left and right armies led by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu swarmed out. Liu Bei also led everyone to turn back and kill the enemy. They attacked from three directions, and the Yellow Turban bandits fell into the trap and were shot down to a rout.
Liu Bei led everyone to pursue the victory until they reached the gates of Qingzhou City. After seeing the rescuing troops, the prefect Gong Jing felt hope and led the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist. Under attack from both inside and outside, the Yellow Turban thieves who besieged Qingzhou were defeated. This battle Many Yellow Turban thieves were killed, and the siege of Qingzhou was finally lifted.
After entering Qingzhou City, Gong Jing held a banquet to reward everyone. After the banquet, Zou Jing planned to go back to resume his duties, and Liu Bei happily agreed.
Along the way, Yu Yi learned something, that is, Lu Zhizheng, the Zhonglang general sent by the imperial court, was fighting with the main force of the Yellow Turban thieves in Guangzong.
Yu Yi and Zhang Jiao had some feuds. He was wanted everywhere because of this when he was in Julu, so he suggested: "Brother, I heard that the yellow scarf thief had a decisive battle with Lord Lu Zhi in Guangzong. We just didn't have it." As for other things, just go and get busy.”
After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and said, "Lu Zhi is my teacher Zeng Jin. It is my duty as a student to help him."
So Zou Jing led the rescue army back, and the four of Liu Bei took the 500 people recruited by their headquarters to Guangzong, which is located in the south of Youzhou, near Julu City.
The four of them arrived at Lu Zhi's camp and asked why they came. They came to cooperate in fighting. Lu Zhi was very moved.
In the camp, Lu Zhi explained the current situation on the battlefield and said: "There are now 150,000 rebels in Zhangjiao, and I only lead 50,000. We have been facing each other in Guangzong with no victory or defeat. "
"Now I have Zhang Jiao's main force besieged here. His younger brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are both in Yingchuan. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are facing each other. You can take your own soldiers, and I will add a thousand more to you. Go Yingchuan inquires about the information and assists them if necessary!"
Lu Zhi made the deployment.
Liu Bei paid his respects and took 1,500 people to Yingchuan. It was already evening.
In order to grasp the information more accurately, Yuyi took the initiative to ask for information, and Liu Bei agreed.
In this way, Yu Yi walked to the Yingchuan battlefield. Through some refugees, he learned about the situation. It turned out that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led the imperial army to fight. They won the first battle and defeated the Yellow Turban thieves. Finally, they retreated to Changshe and tied up with Cao Cao. camp.
Yu Yi looked at the straws and felt the direction of the wind, and sighed: "These yellow scarf thieves are really a bunch of rabble, they can't get on the stage. If they form a camp like this, what will they do if others use fire to attack them?"
Back in the camp, Yu Yi told Liu Bei what happened. Liu Bei sighed, if everything goes well, then he will block the way and give the Yellow Turbans a robbery.
After the second watch that night, the fire in the direction of the Yellow Turban Thieves was indeed blazing. With the shouts of killing one after another, the Yellow Turban Thieves were defeated and ran away in private.
The battle continued until dawn. Seeing that the situation was over, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao led the remaining defeated soldiers to escape towards Guangzong. Suddenly a group of men and horses appeared, carrying red battle flags, lined up and blocking the way of the two people. They were seven feet long, with slender eyes and long beards. They were worshiped as Cavalry Commanders and were from Qiao County of Pei State. His surname is Cao, his given name is Cao, and his given name is Mengde.
The remnant soldiers led by Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang almost ran away when they saw anyone, and the situation became one-sided. Cao Cao stopped and killed tens of thousands of thieves, and captured flags, flags, golden drums, and horses. There were countless people, but they still allowed Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao to escape.
Cao Cao went to see Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, said hello, and then continued to pursue Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.
At this time, Liu Bei and the other three heard the shouts of killing and saw the flames rising into the sky. When they rushed to the scene with their troops and horses, the Yellow Turban thieves had been defeated. They met Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun and expressed Lu Zhi's intention.
Huangfusong and Zhu Jun seemed a little unhappy after seeing Yuyi, but they couldn't say much because they were facing a powerful enemy. They just said: "There are only a few people in the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao. They will definitely defect to them." My brother in Guangzong, Xuande can return to assist Lu Zhi!"
Liu Bei took the order and returned. He discussed with Yu Yi and others on the way. Suddenly he saw a pair of people. He immediately became alert and looked closer. It turned out that they were some teams escorting the prison car. One of them was exactly what several people wanted to go to recover. That person is Lu Zhi.
Yu Yi was very surprised. It turned out that Lu Zhi was also a general appointed by Liu Hong himself to confront the Yellow Turban bandits led by Zhang Jiao in Guangzong. The significance of this was not to be underestimated. Why was he imprisoned in the car.
When Liu Bei saw this, he immediately dismounted and stepped forward to ask why. Lu Zhi shook his head and replied: "I originally surrounded Zhang Jiao in Guangzong, and I will be able to defeat the enemy soon. However, Zhang Jiao used magic. Suddenly, there was a storm, and some special units appeared among the Yellow Turban thieves for no reason. These people seemed to be lifeless. They could fight normally even if they were slashed with swords or even cut off their heads. It was really shocking, so they were not defeated. It happened that the imperial court sent Huang Turban at this time. Men Zuofeng came to Guangzong to learn about the situation. During this period, he asked me for some bribes. I was very angry and told him that the army was still short of food. Where could there be money? This remark aroused the dissatisfaction of the other party. After he returned to the court, , waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, they made a big fuss out of my failure, saying that it was my laziness that led to the unfavorable outcome of the war, so the court was furious and sent Dong Zhuo, the lieutenant general, to take my place, and I was taken to the court for questioning!"
