Chapter 353 The Yellow Turban Resurrection
Luoyang, Cheqi General's Mansion.
Luoyang is dilapidated, and even the imperial palace is being rebuilt. Therefore, the Cheqi General's Mansion is currently the administrative center of Luoyang.
Xun You was sitting indoors, with a pile of bamboo slips one person tall beside him. He was the head of the chariot and cavalry general's mansion. Liu Ye was currently on an expedition and would not be back for a while, so Xun You handled government affairs on his behalf.
Xun You's administrative efficiency is extremely high. He checked the bamboo slips at a glance, and then quickly gave instructions. After a while, the pile of bamboo slips has been reduced by more than half, but Xun You's brows are always frowned, and the speed remains unchanged.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, and then they got closer and closer.
"Mr. Gongda!"
Xun You frowned, still staring intently at the bamboo slips on the table, and asked, "What's the matter, tell me quickly."
"Mr. Gongda, the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou rebelled, and some of them invaded Yanzhou from Taishan County, and their troops were directed at Dongjun County!" the little official said anxiously.
"What?" Xun You was taken aback, and he didn't care about the trivial matters in front of him. He hurriedly snatched the secret letter from the little official's hand, read it carefully, and suddenly his face darkened.
After thinking about it for a while, Xun You said, "Go and invite General Yu Jin, quickly!"
"Here!"
Not long after, Yu Jin also walked in with a calm face, and it seemed that he had learned about the invasion of Yanzhou by the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou.
"Mr. Gongda, the chariot and cavalry general is leading the army outside. Now is the time of internal and external troubles. You and I need to discuss it carefully." Yu Jin said immediately.
Xun You nodded: "General Wen Ze, I have been thinking about it for a while now, and I want to share some ideas with General Wen Ze."
Yu Jin nodded, did not sit down, and said directly: "Mr. Gongda, please speak, and Jin will listen carefully."
Xun You said bluntly: "Although the Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou invaded Yanzhou, most of them were thieves who engulfed the people. There are no elites. As long as they stick to the city, the bandit army lacks siege equipment and it is difficult to break through the fortified city."
"You can send a letter to Liu Yanzhou in the name of a general riding a car, ordering him to stick to Puyang, Juping, Juye, Rencheng and other cities, and not to attack without authorization. In this way, the Yellow Turbans will not be able to sweep Yanzhou, and naturally they will have no time to take care of Luoyang."
Yu Jin nodded, frowned and said: "Before the General Che Qi left, he handed over Luoyang to me. No matter what, Luoyang must not be lost, and a certain soldier has only 10,000 elite soldiers, and he has to divide his troops to defend Hulao Pass. If he attacks without authorization , in case something good or bad happens, it’s really hard to explain.”
"By the way, you can also write a letter to Cao Mengde, Prime Minister of Jinan, ordering him to lead his army to attack the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou, so as to prevent the Yellow Turban from Qingzhou from reinforcing Yanzhou. If necessary, we can destroy them by ourselves. How about that?" Fighting, so I naturally thought of Cao Cao who was arranged by Liu Ye to Jinan.
It now appears that General Cheqi, like a prophet, arranged Cao Cao in Jinan.
Xun You nodded again and again: "Okay, my uncle is also under the command of General Cao. General Cao broke the yellow scarves with General Cheqi in the early years. I think he will fully support him."
"In that case, Mr. Gongda, please dispatch food and grass to appease the people, so I will go to Hulao Pass to prepare the army to prevent the Yellow Turbans from attacking Hulao Pass." Yu Jin asked for his life immediately.
Xun You nodded: "Okay, Wen Ze can go to rectify the troops quickly, so I will write a letter to General Cao and Liu Yanzhou."
Jinan country.
"Kill the thief!"
On a field, more than ten thousand yellow scarf thieves fled shouting. Behind them was a Han army with a number of about 3,000 people. The army was flying a flag with the word Cao. The leader was seven feet tall and held a Yitianjian, dressed in military uniform, is Cao Cao, the new Prime Minister of Jinan.
Although there are many yellow scarves, their equipment is uneven. Most of them only wear a single piece of clothing, and they hold various weapons in their hands. The specifications of knives, guns and spears are different, and they are not organized. Hoe dung fork.
On the other hand, although the number of the three thousand Cao army is small, basically everyone has a piece of leather armor and their morale is strong, so it is more than enough to deal with this yellow scarf bandit.
More than ten thousand yellow turban thieves are running away, but there is a sound of horn horns whining in the distance in the north, and a flag with the word "Wu" is suddenly raised, and a group of about 2,000 soldiers and horses rush forward from a distance. Come.
"Wei Wude of Licheng County is here, where is the Yellow Turban Bandit?"
The first general held a spear and wore armor. With a loud shout, he single-handedly rushed into the yellow turban formation against the wind. Although the following two thousand Han troops were not fully armored, they were all fierce and fierce, and followed closely behind Wu De. , Shouting and rushing into the Yellow Turban army.
"He is the number one hero in Licheng County, Wude!"
"No, this person is no match for us, run away."
Wu De led two thousand troops to rush in suddenly, and the Yellow Turban bandits broke into chaos. How could Cao Cao, who is proficient in the art of war, miss this opportunity?
"Xiahoudun, lead five hundred troops to enter from the left!"
"Xia Houyuan, lead five hundred troops to attack from the right!"
"Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin and Li Dian, follow me to kill!"
The three thousand Cao army immediately divided into three groups, and rushed into it from the left, right and rear of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Don't kill those who surrender, gather the soldiers!" Cao Cao immediately ordered, and many generals and soldiers under his command immediately got busy.
But Wu De rode forward immediately: "I have seen General Cao, and I have seen General Cao's letter, so I rushed a hundred miles to come here immediately."
Cao Cao laughed: "You came here in time today, otherwise our army would not know when we will be able to defeat the Yellow Turban Bandit." Most of Cao Cao's troops were new recruits, so although he won several battles against the Yellow Turban Bandit, he still did not give up. Dare to launch a thunderous blow, for fear that the yellow scarf thieves will fight against trapped beasts.
The Licheng soldiers under Wu De's command used to fight with Liu Ye and Wu De, and they are all experienced veterans, so Cao Cao was quite envious.
"My lord! Liu Che has arrived with a letter!" A scout from afar suddenly rushed over with feathers on his head and a letter in his hand.
The scout handed over the letter with both hands, and Cao Cao opened it after taking it, with a deep expression on his face.
Wu De was pleasantly surprised and said: "General Cao, what did Liu Da. Liu Cheqi say in his letter?"
"The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans rebelled for the second time. Many people have crossed Taishan County and entered Yanzhou westward. Yuqing asked me to try to stop them and find an opportunity to wipe out the main force of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans." Cao Cao frowned.
"In addition, Yuqing said that you are the captain of the army, and you will be under the command of a certain account for the time being." Cao Cao said again.
Wu De was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said: "Thank you Liu Cheqi, I am willing to follow General Cao to defeat the Yellow Turban Bandits and make contributions."
Seeing Wu De's lofty ambitions, Cao Cao gave a wry smile: "Yuqing really trusts me, Qingzhou bandits with hundreds of thousands of troops, how easy is it to deal with?"
