The next day, in Magistrate Li's residence.

"Husband, please be more careful during this trip."

Xun Yuan was standing in front of Li Zhi at this time, arranging his clothes and speaking caringly.

Seeing her worried face, Li Zhi comforted her: "There is no need to worry, Madam.

My husband is the commander-in-chief. During the battle, he is in the middle of the army and is not the general charging into the battle. He is very safe. Madam, as long as she takes good care of the home and does not let her husband worry."

"But..." Xun Yuan looked at Li Zhi hesitantly, bit her teeth lightly, and asked with some hesitation: "Can't... can't we just send the army? If my husband goes here...!"

At this point, Xun Yuan couldn't talk any more and tears were already streaming down her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Li Zhi held Xun Yuan's little face with both hands, wiped away her tears, looked at her seriously and said: "I promise my wife that I will come back unscathed this time! And...

"

After saying that, Li Zhi smiled evilly and continued: "Besides, my husband wants to give my wife another child, how could something happen?!"

"Husband!" Xun Yuan was so embarrassed when she heard this, she let out a coquettish cry.

"Hahaha..." Li Zhi burst out laughing when he saw what he looked like, and then turned around and left without hesitation.

In fact, Li Zhi was very reluctant to leave, but he had to go, so he pretended to be cool and turned around to leave. He was afraid that Xun Yuan would cry and become soft-hearted, so he agreed to stay.

When Li Zhi rode his horse to the city gate, he saw everyone waiting for him, and several huge square formations were neatly arranged in the distance.

Seeing these square formations, Li Zhi felt very heroic. After greeting everyone, he rode his horse to the front, waved his right hand, and shouted: "Listen to my general's order! Let's go!"

"Here!" came the overwhelming voice of promise, and immediately, the army slowly moved forward.

When Li Zhi and others were walking on the road, Cao Cao looked at the mighty military formation and said to Li Zhi with envy: "I really envy my good brother for having such a mighty army!"

"Ha!" Li Zhi laughed out loud and pointedly said to Cao Cao: "Brother, don't be envious. In the future, brother will also have these armies."

However, Cao Cao did not hear the underlying meaning of his words. He only thought that Li Zhi was trying to comfort him and said with a wry smile: "A good brother should not comfort my brother. The defeat of Nanyang this time was actually due to my brother being too eager for quick success.

Just because my brother did not listen to General Huangfu's advice and insisted on speeding up the march, this is what led to this disaster!"

Having said this, he shook his head bitterly, with a look of regret and sadness on his face.

Immediately, Cao Cao lamented: "

It was all because my brother was too impulsive that he suffered heavy casualties among his subordinates, and now it even caused General Huangfu to be besieged by the Yellow Turbans.

If my brother can survive this test, it will be a great blessing for me not to be punished by His Majesty when I return to Luoyang. How can I ask for anything else?"

Having said this, he glanced at the army in front of him again, and the look of envy in his eyes flashed away.

Seeing how sad he was, Li Zhi comforted him and said: "Brother Meng De, why are you so decadent? This time the Nanyang Yellow Turbans only won a small victory. When we go there, we will definitely be able to reverse the trend and turn defeat into victory!"

When talking about defeating the Yellow Turbans, Li Zhi looked very confident. Although there were more than 200,000 Yellow Turbans in Nanyang, he dared to claim victory with the 50,000 horses in his hands!

All because, when he annihilated the Yellow Turbans last time, he discovered that in fact, most of the Yellow Turbans just relied on the strength of their numbers, and had nothing to achieve in arranging troops, temple calculations, and planning. As long as they had the right strategy, they could defeat them all

And down.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi confidently comforted Cao Cao: "The annihilation of the Nanyang Yellow Turbans will be a great achievement. By then, no one will care about the mistakes made by Brother Meng De, and maybe they will be punished for it."

Get promoted to a higher position."

After being comforted by Li Zhi, Cao Cao felt better. He bowed his hands and said, "Thank you for your comfort, brother. I'm fine."

After speaking, Cao Cao saw that Li Zhi was full of confidence in wiping out the Yellow Turbans, and asked curiously: "My dear brother, do you have a plan for this war?"

When Li Zhi heard this, he smiled mysteriously and pointed at the army in the distance with his finger: "This is my strategy to defeat the enemy!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at the army in front of him with some confusion. After thinking hard, he still didn't understand what Li Zhi meant.

Then, he asked suspiciously: "Xiandi, what do you mean... let the army attack by force?"

"No!" Li Zhi was about to reply, but was interrupted by Guo Jia standing aside.

"Oh?" Li Zhi looked at Guo Jia with curiosity and asked, "What did you think of, brother Xian? Tell me and listen."

When Cao Cao heard this, he looked at Guo Jia expectantly.

Seeing his two brothers looking at him, Guo Jia did not answer in a hurry. He took off the gourd of wine from his waist and took a sip before saying, "Brother, I'm afraid you just want to fool around with your friends?!"

"Ha!" Li Zhi chuckled when he heard this, and finally praised Guo Jia: "My dear brother is so smart, it's true."

When Guo Jia heard Li Zhi praising him, he laughed sheepishly: "Brother, I'm sorry. Compared to Yu Jia, the brother who came up with this plan is the more talented one."

At this time, Cao Cao looked at the two brothers with a dark look on his face.

Listening to their riddle-like conversation, Cao Cao

He asked with a dark face: "Two worthy brothers, please stop complimenting each other. Who can explain it to me?!"

"Um..." Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's question and turned to look at him. Seeing that his face turned dark, he scratched his head in embarrassment, then raised his hand to Guo Jia and asked him to explain to Cao Cao.

Seeing this, Guo Jia lost his modesty and took out the feather fan given to him by Li Zhi. After fanning it a few times, he said: "Zhang Man is so powerful that it would be unwise to attack by force.

As for my brother's expedition this time, most of the troops he led were Yellow Turbans. All he had to do was choose a good general, disguise himself as a Yellow Turban, and lead an army of 10,000 people to join Zhang Mancheng.

At this time, Zhang Mancheng had already won a great victory and besieged Wancheng. It was when he was satisfied with his ambition that he must have been unprepared.

When the time comes, choose a good opportunity and let the army mixed in with the Yellow Turbans suddenly attack, which will definitely cause chaos in the Yellow Turban camp.

After we arrived, we made an agreement with General Huangfu in Wancheng. After the Yellow Turban chaos, we would ask General Huangfu to open the city gate and attack the enemy camp directly!

In this way, there is an ambush inside the Yellow Turban camp, and General Huangfu launches a massive attack outside. My brother will send all the troops to attack Zhang Man's headquarters... Humph!"

After saying that, Guo Jia snorted twice with a stern face and continued: "When the three-pronged approach is taken, how can Manchester City be undefeated?!"

After saying that, he looked at Li Zhi expectantly, as if asking Li Zhi if what he said was correct.

Seeing his expression, Li Zhi nodded slightly with joy on his face and praised him: "Brother Xian is really a confidant for your brother! What he said is absolutely correct. This is the way to defeat the enemy for your brother."

"Huh...!" Cao Cao came back to his senses at this time, and after taking a long breath, he was overjoyed.

He originally asked Li Zhi for help, but he just hoped that Li Zhi could open an opening for the army in Wancheng so that General Huangfu could lead the army to break through.

But he didn't expect that Li Zhi actually had a plan to annihilate the Yellow Turbans in one fell swoop, which was a bit beyond his expectation.

However, it was better this way, so that he no longer had to worry about these yellow scarves causing harm to the people because of the defeat of himself and others.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao said gratefully to Li Zhi: "Thank you very much for your virtuous brother Xing. If I were not a virtuous brother, I would have committed a big sin this time!"

Li Zhi waved his hand, stopped him from saying thanks and said, "Brothers, why do you need to thank me back and forth? It's boring!"

Guo Jia also echoed from the side: "Brother, what you said is very true. We are all friends. Thanking you so much is indeed a bit of a surprise."
