Chapter Thirty Taishi
Personally, the death of Bao Xin, the most close friend, made Cao Mengde feel sad. But in terms of the overall situation, the death of Bao Xin in battle is a good thing that cannot be better.
Because except Bao Xin, no one in Yanzhou can point fingers at Cao Mengde.
First, it was Liu Dai and then Bao Xin, who were all dead when Cao Mengde stopped his complete control of Yanzhou.
Moreover, their deaths had nothing to do with Cao Mengde and would not damage Cao Mengde's reputation.
What's this?
This is God's will.
Cheng Yu thought to himself that the lord he worshipped had first come out of the mountain with someone like Zhao Yu who was almost an immortal, and then there were various roadblocks, one by one, because of the will of heaven, and let the road open the Great Road of Heaven. It seems that Cao Mengde is really destined to be with heaven!
Cao Mengde was so sad that he didn't know what Cheng Yu was thinking.
But in addition to grief, Cao Mengde felt very clear.
He also knew that once Bao Xin left, there would be no one in Yanzhou who could stop him.
Cao Mengde was a hero, but at the same time he was a little literary. He said that he was cruel and ruthless or deep in love and loyalty, and this was all him. Or Cao Mengde's headache was later, perhaps because he was thinking too much.
"Lord, it's not the time to hurt now."
Cheng Yu said at this time: "Liang Fu's Yellow Turban..."
When Cao Mengde heard this, his eyes turned red and he said with hatred: "I will kill all the Liangfu Yellow Turbans to avenge Yuncheng!"
Cheng Yu shook his head slightly: "Liang Fu's yellow turbans are hundreds of thousands of young and young, will the lord kill them all?"
Cao Mengde was stunned when he heard this, and immediately calmed down and sighed: "Mr. Zhongde is right, it's me that I've made a mistake."
Then he said, "Yuncheng didn't listen to me and insisted on attacking Liang Fu. The clay pot would not break away from the well. The general would inevitably die in the battle. This is also his own choice..."
So he was excited: "Mr. Zhongde, I'll leave it to you." He grabbed Cheng Yu's arm and said deeply: "Hundreds of thousands of people must make good arrangements, and no mistakes should be made."
Cheng Yu bowed and said, "Don't worry, lord."
So Cao Mengde divided the five thousand soldiers and horses under his command into two thousand steel armored elite soldiers and handed them over to Commander Cheng Yu to deter the hundreds of thousands of surrenders. He took the remaining one thousand soldiers and horses and headed straight for Cheng County.
When Cao Mengde first went to Hanoi, there were only more than a thousand men in Zhongmu. Later, Xiahou Yuan returned from Yangzhou first and brought back two thousand, and then Xiahou Dun brought back three thousand. The total was only more than 6,000 people. In Hanoi, Cao Mengde recruited some, and the number of troops reached eight thousand. When he came to this Juping, after Liu Dai died, the remaining six or seven thousand were eliminated by him, and the old and weak were left. Apart from the loss of a battle, there were about ten thousand people.
There are 6,000 people wearing fine steel armor and weapons, only 4,000 weapons. From 5,000 in the first place, one thousand were built one after another in a short period of time.
Xiahou Dun brought five thousand to the Liangfu Yellow Turbans in Yucheng County, including one thousand steel armored soldiers. Cao Mengde's place, all the five thousand soldiers were steel armored soldiers. Previously, Cao Chun was ordered to rescue Bao Xin and take two thousand away, and then split two thousand for Cheng Yu, but he only had one thousand left.
But only one thousand is also an amazing combat power.
The armor and weapons made of stainless steel made by Zhao Zhuang are sharp and strong, greatly enhancing the combat ability of soldiers. Even if they are only one thousand, they can dominate the world. What's more, their opponents are nothing but a mob?
Leaving two thousand for Cheng Yu was also a precaution. The surrenders who had been trained by Zhao Yu had long dared not resist. The blood on the street from the city gate to the county government has not been cleaned up. The collapsed and burned county government and the white land made these surrenders dare not do anything again. What's more, the thorns in it had been cleaned up by Zhao Yu, and without the head of the leader, they naturally would not be in chaos. With Cheng Yu's ability, with these two thousand elite soldiers, there would never be any mistakes.
So Cao Mengde took the remaining 1,000 troops to Cheng County with confidence.
Zhao Yu had more than 20 people, heading east overnight, looking at the North Sea.
Among these more than 20 people, ten of them were the first ten riders to follow. The remaining more than ten people were Guan Ming and more than ten leaders who were not killed by Zhao Yu.
These people will follow Zhao Yu in the future.
These leaders, regardless of whether they have human nature, cannot be released to the surrendered soldiers. If there are leaders, they will have the backbone. If hundreds of thousands of surrendered people have the backbone, Cao Mengde will be in a dilemma.
As for Guan Ming's hundreds of people, they were handed over to Cheng Yu. Those hundreds of people were pretty good, and they were all in a nest. Guan Ming was not a beast, and hundreds of people under him were not a beast.
"Where does Guan Hai attack Beihai from?"
Zhao Yu asked along the way.
Guan Ming shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know either."
Zhao Yu nodded.
I'm afraid that Guan Hai would not have any specific plans when he sent troops. This is the prominent feature of the mob.
"Then let's go to Beihai first, and then inquire when you arrive at Beihai."
Starting from Bo County, Taishan County, you have to go to Beihai, which is hundreds of miles away. You have to pass through Fenggao, Ying County, Mou County and Laiwu County, and then through Linqu, Qi State, which is the Beihai State.
After hundreds of miles of road, even a thousand miles of horses could not bear the continuous running, so every time I walked, I had to stop and rest for half an hour. It took two days before I arrived at Qi.
It has instead been tied to the traces of Guan Hai's army - Guan Hai's army of more than 100,000 were left behind wherever he passed. It was not long before time could be ignored even if he was a blind man.
"It seems that Guan Hai plans to go straight to Beihai District Ju County."
Zhao Yu tied the reins, looked ahead, and said to Guan Ming: "Take a few people to see. If Guan Hai's army besieged Ju County, you will come back immediately to inform me."
When Guan Ming heard this, he looked happy: "Now!"
When Guan Ming left, Zhao Yu and the remaining ten people took a break and continued to move forward.
Soon after walking, a rider rushed towards him.
Zhao Yu looked carefully and found that although the horse was whipping and galloping, he was not panicked. On the left side, he hung a spear on the hook of Desheng on his left, and a large bow was hung on the right side. The arrow pouch on his back was bullied with the horse's back, which was vaguely visible.
If it was just like this, Zhao Yu wouldn't pay attention.
The key is that there is still a person standing on this man’s horse’s back. Who is it if it’s Guan Ming?
Before Zhao Yu could speak, the person on the horse galloped out loud: "Hurry up, get out of here quickly. I am the Taishici of Donglai, and the bandits besieged the city. Ju County is in danger. I go to ask for help and cannot stop it!"
"Taishici?"
Zhao Yu was slightly stunned, revealing his original expression.
In this moment, Zhao Yu's mind had been twisting a few times.
According to the original historical trend, after Liu Dai died in battle, Cao Mengde had a long stalemate with the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. He had to wait until next year, 193, when Cao Mengde took control of Yanzhou and integrated his strength, Guan Hai could not support it, and then changed directions and attacked the Beihai. And Taishi Ci also began to make his mark here.
Taishi Ci was rarely brave and had an unparalleled reputation, and was famous in the village. Even Kong Rong knew about him. He also sent people to recruit him many times.
However, it was precisely because of one thing that he had a reputation of unparalleled trust and righteousness, but he also hated the officials in the state and had to go to Liaodong to avoid disaster.
Therefore, Kong Rong was unable to require it repeatedly.
When Guan Hai besieged and attacked Beihai, Taishici happened to come back from Liaodong, so his mother advised him to help Kong Rong. Kong Rong asked for help from the plains Liu Bei, so he sent Taishici to break through the siege and go to the plains.
But it is only 192 now, and although winter is about to begin, it is not yet 193.
But in an instant, Zhao Yu figured it out.
Taishi was filial and filial, so he avoided the disaster to Liaodong, but his mother was in Donglai. Because of the coldness of Liaodong, her mother was still old and could not go to Liaodong. Therefore, she would definitely sneak back every year and be filial to her mother.
“Let’s wait.”
Zhao Yu pulled out his horse and blocked the road, saying, "Are you Taishi Ci, Taishi Ziyi?"
Taishi Ci was skilled in arching and horses. Seeing Zhao Yu suddenly pulled out his horse and blocking the road, he was not panicked. He tied the reins. Herody horse was neighing and happened to stop in front of Zhao Yu. He looked unwilling, but he was not rude and bowed: "Why did this gentleman stop me? Ju County was surrounded..."
Zhao Yu interrupted him with a sleeve and said, "I know that Ju County is surrounded, and I still know that it is the Yellow Turban Guan Hai. Are you Taishici?"
Taishici took a deep breath and touched the spear on Desheng hook: "I am Taishici."
"Okay," Zhao Yu laughed: "You want to go to the plain to ask for help from Liu Bei?"
"How do you know?!"
Taishi Ci was shocked, pulled out his horse and took a few steps back, took off his spear with a clang, and pointed the spear straight at Zhao Yu: "Are you and that Yellow Turban thief together?!"
Before he finished speaking, a buzzing sound was heard, Taishi Ci shook his hair in his palm, and cold stars appeared, and he came straight for Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu saw clearly that among the little cold stars, a little sharpness was facing his throat.
"Good spear method."
Zhao Yu smiled slightly, slowly stretched out a finger, and pointed it on the spearhead with an extremely accurate click. With a crack, the spearhead broke. Taishi Ci felt like he was thunder, his face turned red, his arms trembled, and his whole body was numb.
"Who are you!"
Taishici was extremely shocked. There is such a powerful person in this world?!
Zhao Yu withdrew his finger and smiled and said, "I stopped you not because I had anything to do with Guan Hai, but because of the person on your horse."
Taishi Ci was stunned, looked down at the person who had been held by him on the horse's back before, and blurted out: "You know this person?!"
Zhao Yu nodded and smiled, "That's right. You took my entourage, do you think I'll stop you?"
Taishi Ci suddenly felt embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Then Zhao Yu turned over and got off the horse, took off Guan Ming from Taishi Ci's back, and pointed at his forehead. Guan Ming suddenly woke up and shouted: "You..."
"shut up."
Zhao Yu said: "What's going on?"
So I learned about the incident from Guan Ming and Taishici.
It turned out that Guan Ming took his men to the foot of Ju County. Before he arrived, he saw Taishi Ci riding his horse.
Taishi Ci also called out that way. When Guan Ming heard this, he knew that Taishi Ci was Guan Hai's opponent. He thought to himself that Guan Hai was his boss, and now Zhao Yu has come to solve the problem, so he plans to keep Taishi Ci and not let him ask for help.
But as soon as you try, you will be blind.
How many of them are Taishici's opponents?
