Chapter 70 Meng County

Ye Zhao was very curious about how the garrison of Meng County was defeated by the Yellow Turban Army General Fang Yue.

The Yellow Turban Army was not without elite troops. When Liang Fa attacked at night that day, the Yellow Turban Army brought was elite troops. Even in desperate situations, they could not fear death. But that was only a few. The situation of most Yellow Turban Army was that when they were victorious, they were like tigers going down the mountain. However, once they were hit, especially after the main general was killed, they would lose their fighting spirit in a short time and their combat effectiveness would fall to the bottom.

Ye Zhao believed that there would not be too many of the Yellow Turban elites in the Liang Kingdom. Liang Fa brought all of them. Therefore, when Ye Zhao learned that Fang Yue had not only failed to break the city in three days when he attacked Meng County, but even Fang Yue himself was injured, he was very surprised. Someone in the Yellow Turban Army could use a group of mobs to give him a bottom-up rebound when the situation was over. Not to mention the Yellow Turban Army, even among the existing generals of the Han Dynasty, it was difficult to find such talents.

The Han Dynasty had good generals, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Lu Zhi were all famous generals who were both literary and military. Among the younger generation, there were Gongsun Zan, Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian in the north. In the Central Plains, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others had also begun to show their talents, but without exception, these people led the elite rather than the mobs like the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, Ye Zhao was even more curious about this person.

He asked Dian Wei to summon his personal guards and whip them all the way. In less than half a day, he arrived in the official army camp outside Meng County.

"See lord." Ding Li, who had arrived, hurried forward to salute Ye Zhao.

"How is Fang Yue's injury? Take me to see." Ye Zhao turned over and got off the horse, regardless of the dust all the way, followed everyone to Fang Yue's tent, and soon saw Fang Yue on the sickbed.

"It's just a skin injury, why should the lord come here in person?" Fang Yue was moved and ashamed when he saw Ye Zhao coming in person. He struggled to get up from the bed and wanted to worship Ye Zhao, but Ye Zhao held it down.

"If you have injuries, you don't have to pay attention to these false gifts." Ye Zhao pressed Fang Yue back, turned his head to look at the doctor beside him and said, "How is the injury?"

"Go back to the house." The doctor bowed quickly and said, "Just as General Fang said, it was just a skin injury, and the muscles and bones were not damaged. It only takes some time to recuperate. It is best not to fight with others again in the past few days, so as not to break the wounds."

Ye Zhao nodded, signaled the doctor to retreat, and then looked at Fang Yue again and said, "Don't worry about the war in the past few days. Now the eight counties of Liang State and seven counties are stable, and only one county is left, with Ding Li, Dian Wei, Guan Hai and others here, so it is not a problem."

"Fang Yue is incompetent." Fang Yue said bitterly.

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. There is no general who always wins in this world. You can be careless for a moment. Just remember this lesson." Ye Zhao comforted with warm words.

"But you are also a descendant of the general. You are familiar with military books and your martial arts skills are not bad. I am curious who can defeat our army with the remnants under such circumstances?"

"The general was careless. He thought the enemy's fighting spirit had been lost. The general exposed his flaws to lure me to attack, but he hid ambush in the city. The general forced him to retreat and was injured by the trap." Fang Yue said ashamedly: "But the general looked like this person, and the war was quite organized. In the past three days, many yellow turrets defeated troops have come to surrender, but he only chose his strength to select them into the army, and his morale has not been low, and he has also been well-organized to dispatch troops and generals."

Ye Zhao was more interested. Although Fang Yue's defeat was caused by carelessness, he could arrange a group of mobs in order and inspire the fighting spirit of these remaining troops. Moreover, the method of selecting soldiers was quite particular. There were not many people in the Yellow Turban Army who could have such skills?

"If you have nothing to do, you can go and meet this person for a while. Can you tell the name of this person?" Ye Zhao stood up and said.

"I have heard of it at the end. I am a person from Jingxiang, named Liao Chun." Fang Yue nodded.

"Liao Chun?" Ye Zhao thought about it and had no impression. However, there were many capable people in this world. This Yellow Turban Uprising was everywhere. How could he know that there were no buried talents among them?

"It's too late today, so let the soldiers have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, I will go to meet Liao Chun in person." Ye Zhao stood up, looked at the sky outside, and said to the generals: "But we must strengthen prevention at night. According to what Fang Yue said, although this person uses troops properly, it may not be surprising."

"Yes!" After hearing this, the generals took their orders and left.

Ye Zhao did not rest. After sending out the people, he ordered his personal guards to take the map of Meng County. Regardless of whether it was careless or not, Fang Yue was defeated in the end. Ye Zhao naturally would not be careless. It is unknown how Liao Chun used troops for the time being, and the homework they could do was limited. However, in the Meng County area, where can we use troops and where can we ambush troops? At least the geographical advantage must be in our own hands first.

If he cannot attack, he can only siege the city and slowly plan. Since Liao Chun is capable, Ye Zhao will naturally have some rightful thoughts. Such talents are naturally best to be taken back to the tent. He is now at the stage of accumulating his background. He is also a master of talent. Ye Zhao is limited by his identity and cannot recruit yet. Since such talents appear in the Yellow Turban Army, Ye Zhao will naturally not let it go.
