Seeing Lu Bu rushing out, how could he let go of this opportunity to beat up a drowned dog?
Gao Shun gave an order, and a group of people followed him to cover him up.
When Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and the others saw Liu Bei being chased by Zhang Liao like a dog chasing a rabbit, how could they still be in love with each other? They all feinted and left the battlefield to chase Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's three unique skills: cry once, run secondly and kneel down three times.
I have to say that although fighting is not good, Liu Bei's running skills are the best in the world.
Shan said that he had been chased four times in his life and abandoned his wife and ran away on his own, which even Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, felt inferior to himself!
After chasing for several miles, seeing that Liu Bei's troops were scattered everywhere, Lu Bu ordered the gold to retreat.
He didn't want to take Liu Bei's life now. It would be interesting to keep him and expose Liu Bei's hypocritical mask.
Moreover, Jingzhou and Yizhou are still waiting for people like Liu Bei to harm them.
Liu Bei ran away, but he left behind all the supplies, grain, fodder, chariots and horses he brought with his army.
In order to catch up with the progress, Lu Bu has been marching with his men all the way these days. Today, he can finally have a warm meal with Liu Bei.
Although Liu Bei was defeated, the casualties were not serious. I believe it won't be long before the scattered troops can be regrouped.
But Liu Bei's food, grass and baggage were all robbed by him. Now that he has no food to eat, will he risk everything to fight against the Yellow Turban Army besieging Beihai?
After all, if you disperse the Yellow Turban Army, you can still grab some food.
And after the siege of Beihai was solved, Kong Rong was so proud of himself that he only had to take care of the food, right?
Therefore, Lu Bu did not dare to relax too much. After resting for a night, he led the team to Beihai early the next morning.
After traveling for two more days, in the afternoon of the next day, a scout came to report: twenty miles ahead was the besieged Duchang. The Yellow Turban Army’s camp can be seen below the city!
The yellow turban thieves in the camp were lazy and it seemed that Liu Bei's men had not arrived yet.
Lu Bu immediately ordered the entire army to stop advancing, and sent scouts to continue to investigate the Yellow Turban Army camp.
They buried a pot on the spot to make rice, slaughtered all the cattle and sheep that they had snatched from Liu Bei, and had a feast, preparing for a sneak attack in the evening!
----
at dusk.
The Yellow Turban Army also started to light a fire and cook.
Although it is called "the army", in fact, the military camp does not have the rigorous aura of the army.
These Yellow Turbans rebelled because they could not afford to eat due to war, famine or high taxes.
They are like a swarm of locusts, relying on the strength of their numbers to attack the city and seize territory along the way. The most important goal is not to occupy the city, but to plunder food, gold and silver!
Another great feature of the Yellow Turban Army is that they bring their families with them!
Rebellion is not just about having enough food for yourself, but also for your wife and children to have food to eat!
But they had no fixed place to live, so they had no choice but to take their families with them wherever they went.
The leader of this Yellow Turban Army, Guan Hai, was not from a poor background. He raised pigs for a wealthy family. He had to be strong in life and had more knowledge than ordinary farmers.
They were also the first group of people to follow Zhang Jiao in the uprising.
Later, Zhang Jiao died, and Guan Hai simply went out on his own with a group of people, committing crimes and plundering in Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places, and living a comfortable life.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
It is also difficult to manage the food and drink of tens of thousands of people, old and young.
Seeing that there was not much food left in his hand, Guan Hai set the target of looting in Beihai Country this time!
Guan Hai also knew the principle of courtesy first and then fighting. When he came to the city, he first asked someone to send a letter to Kong Rong.
The content of the letter is also very simple: I heard that there is a lot of food in Beihai, and you, Kong Rong, are a generous man and want to borrow 10,000 shi of food to eat!
Kong Rong was a man of letters! Descendants of Confucius! A man of character! Naturally, he sternly refused.
But Kong Rong didn't have any military talent and he didn't have any strong generals, so he asked a general named Zong Bao to lead his troops out of the city to meet the enemy.
As a result, Guan Hai was beheaded as soon as he met him.
The Beihai officers and soldiers returned to the city in chaos, so Guan Hai ordered the city to be surrounded on all sides and forced Kong Rong to hand over food.
Although he received a military report that a fierce man broke out of the siege single-handedly and must have gone to seek help, Guan Hai was not too worried.
Since he started working alone, he has been active in Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou, and has almost never suffered a defeat!
Although the rebel army in his hands is not very powerful, the official army is not much better!
Everyone is in disarray, but the Yellow Turban Army has the numerical advantage!
However, he was not in a hurry to order an siege. After all, they were monks halfway and were not good at such a difficult task as siege.
Attacking a city requires a large number of deaths, and those who die are mostly young and middle-aged people.
After paying a heavy price, the city was captured, and it was not worth it that only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left in the army!
Guan Hai heard that it was said in the Art of War that subduing the enemy without fighting is the way to go!
Either the princes from all walks of life are fighting each other, or self-preservation is a problem like Kong Rong. Who will come to save Beihai?
At this moment, Guan Hai was sitting in his large tent of the Chinese army.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of felt, and Guan Hai also imitated the style of the gentry. There were several tables put together here and there on the felt, and there were cushions on it.
He knelt down in the middle, and several young and beautiful concubines gathered from the army sat on both sides. The sergeant was bringing wine and meat.
The aroma of meat in the air made Guan Hai close his eyes and take a deep breath! It still tastes meaty!
At this moment, I heard the sound of someone shouting and neighing in the distance outside!
Then a small school student stumbled in: "Report! General! Something bad has happened! A group of people rushed out from behind the camp..."
Guan Hai stood up immediately, but quickly regained his composure: "How many people are there?"
"No...I don't know! It's just that they are all armored cavalry!" the colonel said.
Guan Hai was really scared now.
cavalry! They are still cavalry in armor. It seems that the problem is a bit serious!
However, he was the commander, so naturally he couldn't panic, so he pretended to be calm and said: "Don't panic! Since they are armored cavalry, there will definitely not be too many of them! Bring me my sword! Beat the drum and wait for me to meet the enemy in person!"
In the city of Duchang.
Kong Rong had just finished his meal when he picked up a scroll of bamboo slips under the lamp and started reading while shaking his head.
Although we are not good at fighting, we will never lose our calm and calm temperament!
A guard walked in quickly and said: "Prime Minister! General Taishi Ci wants to see you!"
Kong Rong put down the scroll in his hand and glanced at the guard with some dissatisfaction.
The so-called gentleman should not panic even in critical moments, but must be graceful!
"Let him in..."
Before Kong Rong could finish speaking, Taishi Ci had already rushed in with a big stride, still fastening the buckle on his armor as he walked.
"Prime Minister, there are sounds of fighting outside the city! From a distance, the Yellow Turban camp is in chaos. I think reinforcements have arrived!
Please order the Prime Minister to let me lead a group of troops out of the city to meet the enemy! In this way, the inside and outside can be coordinated, and the Yellow Turban Thief can definitely be defeated! "
