Liang Fu Huang Turban is another branch outside the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Guanhai division, and the leader is Xu He.

Xu He is also an old Yellow Turban. More than ten years ago, the great wise and good teacher Zhang Jiao had already joined Taiping Dao before he was uprising, and he was a loyal man. Earlier, Taiping Dao had many generals, and he was only one young general. As for Zhang Jiao's death and the Yellow Turbans were defeated, Xu He gradually rose up.

As Zhao Yu said, there are always a few who have ideals among the Yellow Turbans.

It is not necessarily true that he is so far apart. Compared with Guan Hai, Xu He's background is even more humble. He hated the dark court and the sludge of officials. Therefore, he had never had the idea of ​​being a good person. When Guan Hai vaguely mentioned it, he directly rejected it, and the two of them became rifty.

The Yellow Turban in Qingzhou was divided into two, creating a gap. It was not what Guan Hai wanted to see, but Xu He deliberately did it.

He felt that Guan Hai was no longer a person on the same road.

So the two of them have different locations. One is in Bo County in the north and the other is in Liangfu in the south. Although they are supporting each other and looking after each other, they are not the same.

Bao Xin led his army to attack, but only tens of thousands of people, so how could Xu He take it seriously?

What's more, Bao Xin's troops were not elite soldiers.

Although Xu He is not a handsome man, he is still very skillful in using human-sea tactics.

He only sent 20,000 troops as bait, so he led Bao Xin into the ambush circle and shot Bao Xin to death.

If Cao Chun's elite steel armored soldiers had not arrived in time, Yu Jin would have been broken into it.

It’s not that Yu Jin is not good at fighting, Bao Xin is the one who makes decisions. Bao Xin insists on fighting, but Yu Jin, as a subordinate, can only bite the bullet.

After defeating Bao Xin, although the lost troops were several times more than Bao Xin's troops, he would win if he won. Bao Xin lost his life. Isn't Xu He considered a victory?

If you win, you will be celebrating the achievements. At this time, Xu He was drinking with his boss in Liangfu City.

In the lively time, soldiers came to report: "The county's official army came out in full swing, and tens of thousands of troops rushed over."

As soon as the news arrived, the hall suddenly became silent.

Xu He frowned and said, "What kind of Xiahou's army is it?"

"The Central Army beat the big flag of Cao."

When Xu He and the leaders heard this, they immediately realized: "Is it the dog official Cao Mengde?"

"It must be him."

A leader said: "The great leader, Cao Mengde must have sent troops to avenge him because of Bao Xin's death."

Xu He nodded: "Cao Mengde is here to attack, what do you think of the leaders?"

"Cao Mengde is only a few thousand people. The leader has an army of 200,000, and he can drown him even if he spits."

Everyone talked and said heroically, but in fact, everyone's faces were a little heavy.

The battle with Cao Mengde is not once or twice. The failures are certainly not accidental. Cao Mengde is good at fighting, with strong soldiers and generals. He defeated them step by step. Even if the troops are twenty times stronger, he still feels guilty.

Xu He asked the soldiers who came to report again: "Where has Cao Mengde's army been? How long is it to Liang Fu?"

"The vanguard of Cao Mengde's army is about two thousand, the central army is eight thousand, and the vanguard has reached ten miles away."

“It’s coming so fast.”

Xu He pondered slightly, then looked at the leaders and said, "There are only two strategies at present, either send troops to fight or seize the city. What do the leaders think?"

"this..."

The leaders looked at me, and I looked at you, all pondering without saying a word.

After a long time, someone said, "Cao Mengde is good at fighting in the field. It is better for our army to occupy the city and guard it. When his food and grass are cut off, he will naturally lead his troops away."

Someone set out, and then everyone offered their own suggestions. Someone said, "Our army has many soldiers, so we will naturally not be afraid of him when we are guarding the city. But if we have to wait until his food is cut off, we are afraid that we cannot. It is better to send a group of troops out of the city first, and not attack Cao Mengde, and only focus on his food route, so that we can achieve success."

"It's reasonable!"

Many leaders agree deeply.

Xu He nodded: "Well, that's it. Who would lead the troops to rob him of food?"

"Big leader, I'll go."

Sima Jia stood up.

"Okay, this matter is serious, so I will leave it to the Sima brothers."

When Cao Mengde came, everyone was no longer interested in celebrating the achievements. Xu He ordered everyone to go back to their homes and prepare for the battle.

When the leaders left, Xu He and his other men looked gloomy.

In fact, Xu He knew very well that Liang Fu would not last long. His leader proposed to rob the grain road, but their own food and grass were almost unable to hold on.

Just like Guan Hai, Xu He was actually thinking about plundering food and grass from other places, but he had not yet chosen a target.

If Cao Mengde had come a few days later, Xu He's main force might have left Liang Fu. However, now that Cao Mengde's army suddenly arrived, Xu He would not dare to move.

Facing Cao Mengde, no matter how powerful Xu He has, he dare not fight with him. If he leads his troops out of the city to escape, once he is attached to Cao Mengde, Xu He can almost expect the ending - a major defeat is inevitable. He can only bite the bullet and hold on.

Sighing slightly, Xu He called his left and right, wearing armor and holding a blade, leading a horse toward the city wall.

...

Yu Jin led two thousand elite troops as vanguards, sprinkled scouts, and the army rushed forward, seeing Liang Fu in sight.

A scout came to report: "I found a bandit soldier leaving the city and heading north."

Yu Jin tied the reins and sent an order: "The army will take a break!"

Then he said to the left and right: "Get the map."

Opening the map, Yu Jin looked carefully, and asked the scout, "How many people are there?"

"About 20,000 to 30,000."

"Twenty or thirty thousand..." Yu Jin frowned.

If he fights against these 20,000 to 30,000 bandits, Yu Jin is not afraid. Although he has two thousand soldiers, he is all elite steel armored soldiers, and a mob, he will collapse at once. Yu Jin has absolute confidence. However, this bandit soldier goes north and is clearly not coming to fight.

He said, "Talk again."

Then he said to the officers on both sides: "In broad daylight, our army did not hide its traces, and the bandits of Liang Fu must know. He sent out 20,000 to 30,000 troops, but did not stop our vanguard, but went north into the mountains. You all think, why is this?"

An officer said, "Do you want to set up camps in the mountains and support Liang Fu?"

"There is this possibility." Yu Jin nodded: "But I don't think it is."

He said, "The bandits are going to set up camps, and it is probably too late at this time. If our army is tied up at this time, it will be able to break it without waiting for him to cut the wood into the camp."

"Why is that?"

"Make a gesture, or..." Yu Jinxin pondered: "Either with his power, he hid in the mountains, threatening my rear or flanks, so that our army dare not do its best, and should be distracted and guarded against him. Or just for... there are many bandits, but our army is strong, and his previous many battles will definitely make him remember it. He will not expect to rebel and defeat our army. It is impossible for him to seek help. The Yellow Turbans in Bo County have surrendered. Then there is only one possibility, which is to try to force our army to withdraw."

So he called Qingqi: "Return Cao Gong quickly to this matter, no mistake should be made."

Then he said to the left and right: "The thief army entered the mountain, and let him enter the mountain. My vanguard's goal remains unchanged, and the troops enter Liangfu."

Cao Mengde's central army was only seven or eight miles behind. After receiving the news from Yu Jin, he couldn't help but say to Xiahou Dun: "Yu Wenze is indeed a little capable."

He said: "The bandits will never dare to go out of the city to fight me. I have elite soldiers with steel armor. It is easy to break him. It is just to cut off my food route, or to attack the county and force me to withdraw my troops."

Cao Mengde pondered for a moment, and counted the geography of this area in his heart, and said to Xiahou Dun: "Yuan Rang, you will lead two thousand troops to ambush at Yulai Mountain Pass. I expected that the bandits would definitely come out from here. Although I don't take the bandits seriously, 20,000 to 30,000 people are not in the decimal place after all. If I let the rampages go, I will feel uneasy."

"Here!"

Xiahou Dun took the order and took two thousand troops, separated from the central army, and headed towards the Yulei Pass.

The bandits divided their troops and walked northwards. They must detour, come out of Yulei Mountain Pass, penetrate directly behind the army, and even attack Chengxian. Only in this way can the food route be cut off. Cao Mengde's heart had a gully, and there was a long time to make a decision.

After Xiahou Dun divided his troops and left, Cao Mengde's army continued to stop, and in the afternoon, he arrived at the city of Liangfu.

At this time, Yu Jin was calling out under the city.

"Bo County has been destroyed by Cao Gong, and 300,000 Yellow Turbans are all bowing their heads. Cao Gong has the virtue of being alive and does not kill, but fortunately he is placed in his life. If the Yellow Turbans in Liangfu know the current affairs, they will quickly open the city gate and abandon their weapons and tie them up. Otherwise, when the army comes and break the city, they will definitely be crushed into powder and will never be restored!"

Cao Mengde was vaguely heard this and couldn't help but say to Dian Wei beside him: "Yu Wen is well versed in the way of using troops."

Dian Wei scratched his forehead and smiled foolishly.

Cao Mengde laughed and knew that he would tell a fool like Dian Wei how to use troops to play the piano against a cow, so he said, "Tell me the order, and the army will set up camp."

Cao Mengde knew that the bandits in the city did not dare to come out, and the army was a little tired after half a day of traveling, so he was just in time to rest.

Seeing that Cao Mengde's central army had arrived, Yu Jin then withdrew his troops and came to pay a visit.

"Duke Cao, the bandits dare not leave the city."

Cao Mengde looked at the city in the distance and saw the crowds of people above, and nodded and said, "The Yellow Turbans were defeated after many battles before, and they were already frightened birds. Our army came to attack, how dare he come out?"

Yu Jin said: "But... our army has few soldiers and cannot trap the city. He will leave as long as he wants."

Cao Mengde smiled and said, "Why dare he leave? He also took his family with his family, for fear that he would be placed on me. He would definitely be guarding the city. Send more light cavalry and monitor the surroundings, so Xu He would not dare to move."

"What Cao Gong means..."

Yu Jin thought about something.

"I just need to hold him back and you will win." Cao Mengde said: "Mr. Zhao has gone to the North Sea to subdue Guan Hai. Once Guan Hai surrenders, the Liang Fu Yellow Turban will become a lonely army. He will have to surrender if he doesn't surrender."

Yu Jin suddenly realized: "Mr. Cao is wise."

Cao Mengde shook his head: "It's not because of my wisdom, but because of Mr. Zhao's achievements. If it weren't for this, I would have to spend a lot of effort to subdue this Yellow Turban."

So Cao Mengde sent only a few thousand people to monitor him, so that Xu He in the city did not dare to move.

After three days like this, I didn't attack the city.

Xu He was uneasy and asked the leader to discuss it.

Someone said: "This Cao Mengde fights but doesn't fight, and he retreats but doesn't retreat. What does he mean?"

"Is it true that Guan Hai of Bo County really surrendered? I'm afraid I'm waiting for the troops in Bo County."

"What should we do? Mr. Guan also has 200,000 troops. If all surrendered to Cao Mengde, our army would have no advantage."

"In my opinion, it's better to leave Liang Fu early. The longer it takes, the harder it will be to get out."

Someone suggested: "The great leader, Cao Mengde came to attack, because our army was going to attack Yanzhou. It would be better to send someone to him and say: If you don't attack Yanzhou, you will go to Xuzhou. Please ask him to withdraw his troops temporarily and let me leave. What do the great leader think?"
