Chapter 73 Edict
The city gate of Meng County was opened and closed again carefully. Vaguely, the moment the city gate opened and closed, you could see the vast army behind the city gate and murderous aura.
Liao Chun may not be able to be the best, but with this prudence, he is definitely not like a person who died prematurely. Just such a person, why can't he be famous in history?
Ye Zhao was a little puzzled. He was talented but failed to keep his name in history. Ye Zhao believed it. Just like in his previous life, some people who were better than him died before him. In the end, he always pursued a despicable development and became the last overlord in that ten-year human catastrophe.
But it is somewhat unreasonable for people like Liao Chun who are cautious and talented to leave a mark in history. Such people should live long.
Back in the army, Ye Zhao ordered the withdrawal of troops. After the generals left, only Ding Li, Dian Wei and Qiu Chi were left with confidants. Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao hesitantly: "Lord, just give up the attack like this?"
"Our army was exhausted from fighting for a long time, so we were given time, and..." Ye Zhao turned his head and looked at Ding Li and said, "I ordered the three armies to enter the city after noon the next day. If Liao Chun does not surrender, he will immediately attack the city! He was caught off guard."
"Uh..." Dian Wei scratched his head: "Since it's three days, why should we launch an attack in advance? Otherwise, we can catch it off guard if we attack now."
"Today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, aren't it three days?" Ye Zhao looked at the three of them and sat down and said, "And now Liao Chun has not trusted me. The Yellow Turban Army in the city is the most vigilant time. If you attack at this time, even if you capture it, our army will suffer heavy losses and may not be able to conquer it. You have to be called "untrustless."
"The Yellow Turban Army is no longer powerful. With two days of slackness, even if Liao Chun doesn't believe it, ordinary soldiers will unconsciously become slack. It is an opportunity to break the enemy."
Still untrustworthy.
"In theory, after noon the day after tomorrow, even if it was the third day, I did not tell Liao Chun how to count it for three days. Maybe his understanding was somewhat different from me. This cannot be said that I have no faith, but they can only say that they have insufficient understanding." At the end, Ye Zhao smiled and said to everyone, "Go and prepare for it."
"Here!" Everyone looked at Ye Zhao speechlessly, and each bowed to take the order and retreated.
On the other hand, Liao Chun returned to the city and breathed a sigh of relief, and attracted a group of Yellow Turban generals in the city to talk to Ye Zhao. Of course, Liao Chun did not say anything about the Taiping Sect's discussion on this kind of morale decline.
"That Ye Zhao is as cunning as a fox, don't trust him!" Du Yuan frowned.
"I think so too." Liao Chun nodded and said, "We have worked harder in the past three days and take turns to defend the city. Don't let Ye Zhao take advantage of the opportunity!"
"Okay!" Du Yuan agreed very simply, and the other Yellow Turban generals also responded to their orders. Liao Chun began to dispatch troops and arrange defenses in various cities. The Yellow Turban Army's military discipline was scattered, and Liao Chun was not surrounded by him who had been trained or had actually fought on the battlefield. Therefore, it was difficult to arrange it with defense. The existing generals were not enough to fully control the tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans in the city. Liao Hua could only select elite troops to guard the city, and the rest were responsible for patroling the city and replaced the soldiers guarding the city at any time.
The whole afternoon was calm and Ye Zhao took the initiative to retreat ten miles to the camp. Liao Chun secretly sent a horse to investigate and found that Ye Zhao was really preparing to set up a camp and fight a protracted battle.
The next day was still a peaceful day. The official army began to conduct daily training in an orderly manner ten miles away from Meng County. There were occasional frictions between scouts and horses, but they did not mean to escalate into war. Both sides were very restrained. The difference was that Ye Zhao also needed to consider the attitude of the surrounding Yellow Turbans and set up open and secret posts on some important roads in Liang State counties. First, to check the intruders of the Yellow Turbans, and secondly, to pay attention to the dynamics of the surrounding Yellow Turbans. Before Meng County was recovered, Ye Zhao could not free up his hands to focus on a larger range, but inquiry was indispensable.
"Lord, General Huangfu Song is defeated?" In the military camp, Qiu Chi looked at the official documents just passed by the court and frowned at Ye Zhao.
"Defeated?" Ye Zhao sneered: "Why didn't I see it?"
"On the fourth day, General Huangfu led his army out of Pingjin. The camp was not established yet. When he encountered Bocai's robbery of the camp, he was defeated and asked the court for help." Qiu Chi replied to the battle: "The court ordered the surrounding counties and counties to lead the army to support him, and the lord was pointed out. If we had not sent troops, we would probably have a good situation in Liang State."
"Don't worry, wait and see." Ye Zhao shook his head: "Look at how Chenliu, Chenguo and other places react. We are still a little far from Yingchuan. We have to divide our troops to garrison. Before Meng County can be sent, we should not move arbitrarily."
If it were the otakus in his previous life, Ye Zhao would not think that this period was strange, but after ten years of the end of the world, this life was a long battle. Ye Zhao's perspective and depth of viewing the problem are naturally incomparable.
Huangfu Song is one of the only remaining famous generals in the Han Dynasty. Ye Zhao naturally cared about it and had also seen his past combat experience. Not to mention whether the elites in Luoyang could bear the title of elites. However, Huangfu Song's ability is indeed qualified to be a famous general. He was robbed of the camp, and was still a group of Yellow Turban Army. If he had just debuted, he would not be surprised by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Ye Zhao. After all, geniuses also had their own youth. Ye Zhao himself had experienced it. Naturally, he did not think that Cao Cao was as talented as he did later. What he learned was to apply what he learned to apply it.
But Huangfu Song had already gone through this accumulation process, and Huangfu Song's marching style was also known for his steady state. Such a person was robbed by a group of Yellow Turban generals who were tying up the army and even not tying up the army. Compared with this low probability, Ye Zhao was more inclined to Huangfu Song to have something to ask for. As for what he wanted, it was impossible for the imperial edicts to appear. This required waiting and looking at the court's next action. According to Ye Zhao's guess, it was nothing more than asking for money and grain or some political demands. Ye Zhao naturally didn't know what Huangfu Song needed, but Ye Zhao felt that money and grain should be secondary.
As for defeat...
Ye Zhao looked at the edict and did not say how badly Huangfu Song was defeated. Instead, he insisted on waiting for help, which shows that although Huangfu Song was defeated, he still had the power to fight. Ye Zhao was now considering whether to destroy Huangfu Song's plan this time.
