The first dead soldiers created by Ju Yi made great contributions to Yuan Shao's defeat of Gongsun Zan. In the "Battle of Jieqiao", Ju Yi led 1,800 infantrymen and not only annihilated Gongsun Zan's more than 10,000 white-horse Yicon and 30,000 The infantry even captured the general Yan Gang alive.
Later, Ju Yi commanded this group of soldiers to defeat Gongsun Zan many times. It can be said that Ju Yi made great contributions to Yuan Shao's defeat of Gongsun Zan and established Yuan Shao's dominance in Hebei.
Unfortunately, it is somewhat regrettable that because Ju Yi's character is too arrogant, although he has the capital to be proud, he happened to encounter a stingy lord and a group of insidious counselors, so he became like that in history. end.
Later, this invincible army was divided into pieces. Despite this, there were still many people loyal to Ju Yi who chose to escape, but were hunted down by Yuan Shao.
If Ju Yi was not killed by Yuan Shao but was reused, what would be the outcome of the Battle of Guandu in the face of Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?
Except for Ju Yi, the other people in the new army who participated in the competition were only second- and third-rate figures, and their strength was only sixty or seventy. With Ju Yi's force value of 90, even if his skills are not triggered, in the end, Ju Yi will undoubtedly win.
How could Li Xiang let go of a general like Ju Yi? He immediately took this opportunity to promote him to Army Sima, and ordered him and Feng Yi to manage the new army together, and they were jointly responsible for the training of the new army.
Ju Yi is also a bit clever. After Li Xiang promoted him, he recognized Li Xiang as his master on the spot before Li Xiang could say anything.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining 9 Ju Yi summoning points. The current host has 497 summoning points."
…
"Report, the spies are reporting urgently." While Li Xiang was discussing matters with the generals, a messenger rushed in hurriedly.
"Send it over quickly."
Looking at the solemn expression on the messenger's face, Li Xiang naturally knew the reason.
After all, Floating Water House is not a vegetarian. How could it not detect the news of the arrival of the Yellow Turbans' 100,000 troops? Even Floating Water House had found out clearly the leading generals of the Yellow Turbans' troops, so Li Xiang had already received the news in advance. The secret report arrived at the floating house.
However, only Li Xiang himself and a few confidants such as Wang Meng and Wei Xiaokuan know about the existence of the floating house. Moreover, unless necessary, Li Xiang has no plans to expose it to others for the time being. Therefore, even if some things have little impact on the overall situation, Li Xiang will only choose to pretend not to know and will not deliberately say it.
"The Yellow Turbans' 100,000-strong army is attacking. We are now only three days away from Julu."
Hearing this, even though Li Xiang had already known the news, he smiled again.
Li Xiang went deep into the Yellow Turban hinterland, attacked various Yellow Turban counties, invaded the Yellow Turban grain roads, and even occupied Zhang Jiao's hometown, wasn't it just to let Zhang Jiao divide his troops?
Zhang Jiao's hundreds of thousands of troops gathered together. Li Xiang was really at his wits' end and couldn't deal with it, but Li Xiang still had a way to deal with it with only one hundred thousand Yellow Turban soldiers. As long as Li Xiang can eat Zhang Jiao's 100,000 troops, and then erode the power of the Yellow Turbans bit by bit like this, then the turning point in this war will have arrived.
"Everyone, everyone has heard about the current situation. I wonder if you have any way to retreat from the enemy." After the messenger read the investigation report, Li Xiang immediately asked everyone.
"My lord, although the Yellow Turban army is large in number, its combat power is low. It is far from the opponent of our army. If our army is tired from the long journey and has an unstable foothold, and launches a surprise attack unexpectedly, our army will definitely win this battle." But it was Su Dingfang who spoke first.
Now the new army is under the command of Feng Yi and Ju Mi, while the cavalry Li Xiang is temporarily under the command of Su Lie. Su Lie was sincerely afraid of this, thinking that his merits were not enough to hold such a high position for the time being. However, with Li Xiang's insistence, Su Lie finally accepted it.
Now that Su Lie finally found an opportunity, he naturally wanted to perform well and win a big victory to repay Li Xiang's kindness.
"Lord, in my opinion, our army has a large number of cavalry, while the Yellow Turban army is mainly infantry, and the cavalry is scarce. Our army should use the speed advantage of the cavalry to devour the Yellow Turbans bit by bit. In this way, we can not only defeat the incoming Yellow Turbans, but also To avoid excessive casualties of our army, in order to preserve the strength of our army." Tian Feng also spoke.
Speaking of which, Tian Feng has been conscientious and dedicated since he came to work for Li Xiang. He has really helped Li Xiang a lot and helped Li Xiang handle a lot of things. And when encountering some things, Tian Feng would take the initiative to offer plans and solve Li Xiang's problems without Li Xiang asking.
When Jia Xu came to Li Xiang's command, he was earlier than Tian Feng, but he was like a transparent person. If Li Xiang didn't ask, Jia Wenhe would always stand there by himself, unwilling to say a word, let alone let him take the initiative to make suggestions for Li Xiang.
"Wen He, I wonder if you have any opinions on this Yellow Turban attack?" Since Jia Xu is unwilling to take the initiative to speak, Li Xiang can only take the initiative himself. With such a great counselor with full intelligence, Li Xiang would naturally not waste resources and would ask more about their thoughts.
"My lord, hasn't he already made up his mind? In that case, why should we say more?" Jia Xu replied without turning his head.
Hearing this, Li Xiang could only say that this poisonous man was indeed one of the top counselors in the Three Kingdoms period, and he had actually seen through Li Xiang's thoughts.
Yes, the reason why Li Xiang has been staying in Julu City these days is not only to deal with the property and train the new army, but more importantly, to prepare for the upcoming Yellow Turban Army.
In ancient wars, the strategies used to defeat the enemy were mostly water and fire tactics.
In the Three Kingdoms era alone, there were cases of burning the company camp, burning Chibi, burning Bowang Slope, burning Xinye, burning vine armor soldiers, and flooding the seven armies...
And Li Xiang's plan to deal with the Yellow Turbans this time is located in this fire plan. It was precisely because he thought that the Yellow Turbans had to pass through a place from Yecheng to Julu that he would be able to get angry, that Li Xiang stayed in Julu City until now.
As long as Li Xiang succeeds in setting the fire, the 100,000 Yellow Turbans can almost be solved. Not to mention the direction of the entire world, at least the direction of the battlefield in Jizhou will begin to change.
After all, Zhang Jiao would never be able to bear the loss of 100,000 people in one battle. If Zhang Jiao could endure it easily, his prestige in the Yellow Turbans would definitely drop drastically.
Therefore, it is conceivable that it is a foregone conclusion that Zhang Jiao will divide his troops again to encircle and suppress Li Xiang. With the two divisions of troops, coupled with Dong Zhuo's cavalry to contain them outside, the pressure on Yecheng will be reduced to a minimum.
However, if Li Xiang really succeeds this time, then the Yellow Turbans will definitely send out elite troops and strong generals next time. By then, the pressure on Li Xiang will skyrocket.
