Chapter 141: The sound of the east and the west
It's really Liu Fan!
Yesterday, the spy reported that the yellow-tooth flag of the officers and soldiers in the army was the word "Liu".
At that time, Zhang Jiao speculated whether it was Liu Fan. Although Liu Fan's reputation was only completely spread this year, he had the most reputation.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Yellow Turban Rebellion created two people who are well-known to everyone, one was the number one rebel Zhang Jiao, and the other was Liu Fan, the minister who quelled the rebellion.
Zhang Jiao clenched his fists and stared at Liu Fan. It was this person who broke through his beloved disciple Bo Cai.
Zhang Jiao had more than 500 disciples, and the ones he most hoped for were Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng.
"Ru Yingbocai and Peng Tuo were killed in battle, and more than 100,000 troops surrendered, and all parts of Yuzhou have been cleared north; Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, and Sun Xia in battle, and 100,000 Yellow Turbans surrendered; Bu Ji in battle, and 50,000 Yellow Turbans surrendered. Jingzhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Youzhou were all pacified. Now there are only two cities left in your power, and Xiaquyang City is also surrounded by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Sizhou is also sending troops to Guangzong. Zhang Jiao, you can't escape now." Liu Fan said sternly, as if he is sure to win.
Liu Fan's words are both true and false. They mean to scare Zhang Jiao. The military strategy means to be true and false, and not seeking the enemy's belief. It is enough to have suspicion.
Liu Fan's voice was loud enough, and the Yellow Turban on the city wall could hear it clearly. He suddenly became turbulent and looked at Zhang Jiao.
The Yellow Turbans in Jizhou are not comparable to those in Ruying, Qingzhou and Nanyang. They are all brought by Zhang Jiao. They have been instilled with the idea of Taiping by Zhang Jiao for many years. Many people are loyalists of Zhang Jiao. If Zhang Jiao does not die, it is difficult for them to have a second heart.
"Liu Fan refers to a deer as a horse, and he is a mess. Don't listen to his words. The Han Dynasty lost the hearts of the people and the heroes from all directions responded. In just a few months, how could the Han army be pacified? This is clearly a fraud." Zhang Jiao said this, but his heart fell into a low point.
Zhang Jiao's words were very authoritative, and the Yellow Turban soldiers instantly became quiet.
"Zhang Jiao, I give you a chance, you don't know how to cherish it. Don't think that I can't do anything about you when I'm staying in Guangzong City as a turtle. I'll make a ladder, heavy crossbow, and rushing the car. In just a few days, Guangzong City will be destroyed." Liu Fan said arrogantly.
"Liu Fan, are you worthy of being the commander of the first army? If you have the ability, you will attack the city. There is not so much nonsense. If you don't dare, go back to the mother's womb to get breastfeeding!" Zhang Liang replied viciously.
He wanted Liu Fan to attack the city immediately in anger. Without the officers and soldiers preparing the siege equipment, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to conquer Guangzong.
"Haha." Liu Fan laughed disdainfully and led his personal guards to leave.
If the general cannot defeat his anger and ants are attached to him, killing one-third of the soldiers and not pulling the city, this is a disaster for attack.
The general could not control his anger and drove his soldiers to climb ladders to attack the city like ants. One-third of the soldiers guarding the city were killed, but they still could not capture the city. This was a disaster for the siege.
Forced attack, and both sides were killed and injured by five to one.
The method of siege is either complete equipment, thick armor, strong soldiers, or unexpected surprise attacks.
After returning to the formation, Liu Fan led the army back to the barracks.
Seeing the officers and soldiers retreating like a tide, Zhang Liang frowned and said, "It seems that Liu Fan is going to prepare for the siege."
"What I am most worried about now is my third brother. I send spies out of the city and go to Xiaquyang to investigate the situation. There are too many officers and cavalry. In order to prevent our spies from being caught by officers and soldiers, we will ride a horse to Xiaquyang with a cavalry." Zhang Jiao said worriedly.
"Brother, do you think Liu Fan's words were a bit credible just now." Zhang Liang asked Zhang Jiao.
"Liu Fan came from Yingchuan, and the Dongjun Bu Ji's troops were probably defeated. Nanyang is too far away from here, and I don't know. As for Xia Quyang being besieged by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, I don't believe it. I had contact with my third brother a few days ago. Besides, how could the officers and soldiers have a hundred thousand troops out of thin air?" Zhang Jiao sneered. As long as the situation is discovered, everything can be known.
Zhang Liang nodded and agreed.
After Liu Fan returned to the camp, he gathered all the schools and Sima was in the camp of the Central Army.
"General, it is better to send cavalry to interrupt the connection between Guangzong City and Xiaquyang City, so that Zhang Jiao cannot use his siblings. In this way, there is no need to worry that Xiaquyang Yellow Turban and Guangzong Yellow Turban are combined together. Our army can plan slowly and defeat them one by one." Guo Dian found the fighter opportunity from the conversation between Liu Fan and Zhang Jiao and suggested to Liu Fan.
"The key to military strategists is to make a surprise move. Only after making a decision can one move, and those who plan to win will win. Although the prefect Guo is reasonable, can you listen to my plan?" Liu Fan did not affirm Guo Dian's words, but said to everyone.
"Please let the general know his plan, and we will listen carefully." Sima said to the schools.
Guo Dian also bowed and returned to the seat.
"Zhang Jiaoding will send spies to Xiaquyang and Guangzong, and we will not stop them. Let Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang communicate with each other. At that time, they will definitely find out the situation of Julu. On the one hand, our army cut down trees and built siege equipment, and on the other hand, we will send a group of troops to bypass the wild ze in the mainland, leave Julu and Changshan County, and after reaching Changshan Zhending, we will be able to maintain our spirits. At night, the powerful generals led their troops from the west to raid Xiaquyang City. The Yellow Turban thought that they knew the movements of our army, Guangzong's defense would become more and more stringent, while Xiaquyang's defense was very relaxed." Liu Fan explained the plan in his heart in detail.
"It's so wonderful to hear the east and attack the west. Compared with the general's strategy, my insights are not worth mentioning." Guo Dian said in shame.
The clan, Liu Biao, all the schools, and Sima all agreed. The General of the Conquest North was really well-known. Today, just a test, he had a plan.
"Forty thousand army, 10,000 elite infantry were selected. The army was led by the prefect Guo, which captain, Sima Ke and Prefect Guo jointly built this achievement?" Liu Fan asked everyone.
As the main general, he cannot leave the camp without authorization and must take charge of the overall situation.
With so many lieutenants, the Central Army Generals sat here and sent Guan Yu to him, it was inevitable that he would use his power for personal gain.
If they were all mediocre people, Liu Fan would definitely appoint Guan Yu and Huang Zhong. Not to mention anything else, just talk about the prefect of Julu Guo Dian, who was a very talented person. In history, Xiaquyang City, where Zhang Bao was stationed in Xiaquyang, was captured by Huangfu Song and Guo Dian.
"I will always be willing to go!" a young man nine feet tall stood up and said with a loud voice.
Although I often saw Guan Yu, when Guan Yu spoke, everyone was still amazed at Guan Yu's momentum. I heard that he was the number one general under the command of General Zhengbei.
"Yun Chang has the courage to be inappropriate for thousands of men. Zhang Jiao's chief disciple Bo Cai was killed by him. Prefect Guo used it with caution." Liu Fan smiled with relief.
His words were equivalent to making Guan Yu the deputy general of Guo Dian. Although Guan Yu had always led the cavalry, he was still an enemy of ten thousand people after getting off the horse.
Guo Dian looked at Guan Yu's energetic figure and bowed to Liu Fan.
If Guan Yu wants to go, Zhou Cang is naturally indispensable.
