Gao Jin rushed to Linyang with 5,000 men day and night, but encountered a cavalry attack on the way. Most of the 5,000 men were killed or injured before they reached Linyang City.

At this time, he didn't know that he had been deceived by Sun Guang. He led the remaining soldiers and fled back to Gushi in embarrassment. As soon as he arrived at the city, he was greeted by a barrage of arrows and flying rocks, and these remaining soldiers were smashed to pieces. , only then did he realize that he had been deceived, and he cursed outside the city.

It was no use just scolding his throat. Not only did he lose Gushi, but he also lost the lives of thousands of soldiers. In the end, he had to flee in panic to the nearest city, Xincai City, with hundreds of people.

The same drama was going on between Pingyu and Xincai. Xincai was easily deceived, but the team going to Pingyu did not go so smoothly.

Guard General Pingyu was the young man who almost wiped out Wang Yun's two thousand cavalry regiment earlier. His name was Guan Hai. He was very cautious and allowed the person who asked for help to say that it was a matter of life and death. He was in no hurry to open the city gate.

Guan Hai first asked them to retreat a mile, and personally led a group of people to the city gate. He called the leader to come forward, and by the light of the fire, he recognized Sun Guang's deputy Chen Kui.

"Tell me the details of the ambush."

Chen Kui said anxiously: "Now is the time to talk about this. It is more serious to lead people to rescue Qu Shuai quickly."

"If you don't explain clearly, how can we save him? What if he is ambushed?" Guan Hai stared at Chen Kui with burning eyes.

Chen Kui was so panicked that he couldn't help complaining to Sun Guang. He chose a city that was easy to deceive and left the most difficult part to himself. Who didn't know that Guan Hai was the most stable guy and wanted to deceive him? Easier said than done for him.

Originally, he thought that if he could not be deceived, he would bring these hundreds of officers and soldiers into the city and kill them. Then he would still be a partial general of the Yellow Turban Army, but he did not expect that Guan Hai would not let them enter the city at all.

He could feel that the crossbow arrows hidden under the sleeves of the people behind him were pointing at him. If he had any evil intentions, he would be shot into a honeycomb immediately.

Chen Kui suppressed his nervousness and said the lines he had memorized in advance.

While Guan Hai listened, he looked at Chen Kui. There were traces of being burned on his body, and there was also a smoky smell. Looking behind him, he saw that the clothes and hair of the hundreds of soldiers were all burnt. There seems to be no flaws.

Suddenly, his eyes glanced at the feet of a soldier.

On the worn shoes with two thumbs exposed, apart from some loess stains, there was no trace of black ash.

He suddenly became alert and took a few steps closer, scanning the feet of other soldiers without leaving any trace.

A flash of understanding flashed across Guan Hai's face, he turned around and whispered a few words to his soldiers, and then calmly said to Chen Kui: "Brother, thank you for your hard work. Please follow me into the city. I will immediately order troops to rescue Qu Shuai, but I don't know that I How many people and horses are appropriate to take?”

Chen Kui quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thirty thousand, just move Linyang to the ground." He said it quite proudly.

This was a line changed by Chen Kui himself. Pingyu had more than 40,000 garrison troops, and it was impossible to deceive them. Wang Yun's purpose was to let these people sneak into the city to act as internal agents.

However, Chen Kui felt that this was too slow. He was eager to achieve success, so he imitated Sun Guang's routine without permission, hoping to seize the city in one fell swoop.

Thirty thousand? Guan Hai became more and more sure that these people had defected to the government. He sneered in his heart, but responded, "Okay, I will listen to you."

After everyone entered the city, Guan Hai said again: "Take these brothers to eat and rest first, and I will go and order the troops right away."

Seeing that he had been fooled, Chen Kui was in a good mood. He just thought that after Guan Hai took the people out of the city, he would kill them all while everyone was sleeping at night. Then his mission would be completed and he would be granted the imperial title and become an official.

After running all the way, Chen Kui was really hungry, so he led his men and followed Guan Hai's soldiers to the dining room.

When they came out after eating and drinking, they saw rows of archers surrounding them, and Guan Haizheng was looking at him with cold eyes.

Chen Kui was horrified, but he pretended to be calm and shouted: "Guan Hai, what are you doing? You don't want to save Qu Shuai, but you want to kill your own brothers. Do you want to rebel?"

Guan Hai snorted coldly, "Brother? A brother who brings officers and soldiers to kill his own people?"

"You...what are you talking nonsense about? What officers and soldiers? These are our own brothers." Chen Kui was speechless.

"You keep talking even when you are about to die."

Guan Hai was too lazy to talk nonsense and waved his hand.

"Fire the arrow!"

Suddenly, thousands of arrows were fired, and the people standing in the front row were instantly transformed into giant hedgehogs. The officers and soldiers behind them pretended to be moth thieves, using the corpses as shields, and rushed forward to fight for a while, but in the end they all died.

Time has come to September. Huangfu Song defeated the Yellow Turbans in the Chen Kingdom. He was originally going to send his army south to join forces with Wang Yun and others. However, Lu Zhi, who had gone to Jizhou to quell the rebellion, was framed by the eunuchs and was escorted back to the capital. Emperor Ling again

Dong Zhuo was sent to replace him, but Dong Zhuo failed to make any achievements, so Huangfu Song was transferred to Jizhou to quell the rebellion.

Now the war situation in Yuzhou has improved. Recently, Cao Cao received good news from the southwest. He has taken Yang'an, North Yichun, Ancheng, Shenyang and other counties. After Wang Yun deceived Gushi and Xincai, he also took back the land of the three counties. Now he only

The remaining Pingyu and several southern counties are still occupied by the Yellow Turbans, so it doesn't matter much if Huangfu Song doesn't come.

Wang Yun and Cao Cao surrounded Pingyu together. After days of hard fighting, nearly a thousand officers and soldiers were killed or injured, but Pingyu still could not be recaptured.

Having no other choice, Wang Yun thought of his daughter who was good at making clever plans and came to Zhang Mo for advice.

Although Zhang Mo has never fought in a battle, she knows that in ancient times, one side attacking a city did not have several times more troops than the other side, and it was difficult to win a frontal attack. Wang Yun and Boss Cao joined forces together, plus all the surrendered troops.

There are only more than 20,000 county soldiers, but there are still 30,000 to 40,000 thieves in Pingyu City.

Moreover... General Pingyu is not Bo Cai, Peng Tuo and others. The officers and soldiers have suffered losses twice in his hands. Even Boss Cao's clever brain can't do anything. What strange tricks can she come up with?

"Is there really no way to destroy the city?"

Wang Yun still refused to give up and continued to ask. Cao Cao also looked at her expectantly. In the past few days, after listening to Che Hu's account of the passing of the Runan Ping thief, he became more and more appreciative of the little girl. He only regretted that he had not taken the first step to arrest her.

People recognize it.

"There is really no way to attack the city, but if my adoptive father is willing to wait for half a month, maybe the chance of winning the city will be much better." Zhang Mo said.

Zhang Jue will die of illness soon. Zhang Mo has seen how fanatical this guy's followers are when he was in Yangzhai. As soon as he dies, the morale of the Yellow Turbans will inevitably plummet. In addition, Huangfu Song, a fierce man, has gone to the north.

He sang triumphantly all the way, killing Zhang Liang, beheading Zhang Bao, dissecting Zhang Jiao's coffin and stabbing his corpse, and building a palace with hundreds of thousands of yellow turban corpses, which made the thieves frightened by the news.

Based on these historical facts, Zhang Mocai made such conservative suggestions.

Thinking of the child's profound words before, Cao Cao thought she had another plan and asked hurriedly: "What do you mean by this? Why do we have to wait another half month?"

Why? Zhang Mo didn't know how to explain it. She couldn't tell him that she knew two thousand years of knowledge and eighteen hundred years of knowledge!

She said casually, "Isn't General Huangfu going to Jizhou? He is so powerful that he will definitely be able to defeat the three Zhang Jiao brothers very quickly. Wouldn't this be a bolt from the blue for the moth thieves? By then, the morale of the army will be shattered, and perhaps they can be recruited.

."

Is that so? The two of them were hesitant, but without a better way, they had no choice but to besiege instead of attack.

Sure enough, before half a month had passed, news came from the north that Zhang Jiao had died of illness. This time it was not a rumor, but a real death of illness. This news was definitely a fatal blow to the Yellow Turbans. The great sage and mentor General Tiangong had also died.

Now, the war in the north is extremely unsatisfactory. Since the arrival of Wang Yun and Cao Cao, Yuzhou has suffered successive defeats. Many people are a little discouraged and feel that the future is bleak.

The government promptly posted a recruitment notice, but within a few days, troops came to surrender. Those who did not want to surrender and did not dare to hold on, simply fled to the mountains and became bandits. The remaining group planned to defend the city to the death, but they were already unable to support themselves for half a month.
