Chapter 90 The Dark Room

"Lord, this edict has just been out, don't you need to wait for the troops to gather?" The next morning, Ye Zhao summoned the generals to discuss matters. During this period, Guan Hai and Fang Yue returned from injury one after another, which made Ye Zhao's side suddenly more people. However, when he heard that Ye Zhao was about to deal with Gong Du and others, Qiu Chi and others were still a little surprised.

The one stationed in Shangcai was Gongdu, and the power should not be underestimated. What's more, Ge Ling and Liu Pi, He Yi had a total of 100,000 people. At this time, Ye Zhao had just received the promotion from the court and had not yet recruited all his troops. It was too hasty to use troops to Gongdu at this time.

"Why do you think I'm driving Ding Yi here?" Ye Zhao shook his head and smiled when he heard this, "This Gongdu, Liu Pi and He Yi are not one-pointed, and their subordinates are all mobs. If it's just that Gongdu fire, Liu Pi is not easy to deal with. But at this moment, the three parties gather together, seemingly many soldiers, but in fact they are guarding against each other. If they are provoked, they can defeat him without attacking."

Ye Zhao had sent people to spread rumors among Liu Pi and Gong Du's army before. Now the rumors are about to walk, so it's time to close the net.

"When will the lord be planning to use troops?" Qiu Chi and others looked at Ye Zhao.

"I won't move troops for the time being, Dian Wei and Ding Li, you two lead your personal guards to go out of the city with me." Ye Zhao waved his hand and said.

"Here!" Dian Wei and Ding Li agreed and went to order troops.

Ye Zhao asked Fang Yue to take over Dingying's defense, and took Qiu Chi to join Dian Wei, Ding Li and others, and then walked out of the city.

"Can you gain something from Du Yuan in the near future?" After leaving Dingying, Ye Zhao called Qiu Chi and Ding Li to his side and asked.

Du Yuan was the accompanying item he recruited when he recruited Liao Hua. Although there were several other Yellow Turban generals around Liao Hua at that time, if you want to talk about his abilities, Du Yuan was quite outstanding. He had a good first-hand martial arts skills and could fight Ding Li for 30 or 50 matches without losing. However, Ye Zhao always felt that this person was a bit too slippery, unlike Liao Hua, who had his own ideals and goals, and had good martial arts skills, but he was a little arrogant when Liao Hua surrendered. However, after he really surrendered, he was very respectful and even flattering to Ye Zhao, which made Ye Zhao feel a little displeased.

Of course, if it is just like this, Ye Zhao would not care. He would not evaluate a person, a gentleman, or a villain based on his personal preferences, but it just depends on how the person using it.

What really made Ye Zhao suspicious was that during the Changshe period, Du Yuan secretly let out many Yellow Turban generals. He thought he was unaware of it, but what Ye Zhao was best at was controlling the overall situation and evaluating the possible battle situations everywhere, rather than monitoring everyone. Where there was a problem with the data, it would naturally arouse Ye Zhao's suspicion.

This is also the reason why Ye Zhao asked Liao Hua to sneak into Bocai's army but did not let Liao Hua take Du Yuan with him. If this person is not careful, it may be a bad thing. If the opponent is a famous general or a potential figure like Cao Cao, Sun Jian, even if he is defeated, Ye Zhao will not be unhappy. But if he is defeated by a small person in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, it will definitely be a stain for Ye Zhao.

"Nothing unusual, I just like to inquire about some information. After the lord sent troops, he had inquired about where his lord was going several times." Ding Li thought for a while and said to Ye Zhao that he couldn't see anything, but he felt that Du Yuan was too concerned about Ye Zhao's movements.

Qiu Chi also shook his head. Although he felt that Du Yuan was a little suspicious, he could say that, that is, what Ding Li said, and then looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Do you think this person is secretly engaging in the Yellow Turban?"

Ye Zhao shook his head. There was no evidence, so it was hard to say, but he really hoped that Du Yuan would have contact with the Yellow Turban Army. In that case, there would be more places to use in the future.

The group rode their horses around Shangcai and went straight to Geling. Naturally, it was impossible to enter the city. They just let a personal guard intervene in He Yi's army outside the city to find someone. As for Ye Zhao, he led his men to find a hidden place to rest twenty miles away from the city.

Qiu Chi and others didn't know who Ye Zhao was looking for, but they didn't ask too much. When it was time to tell them, Ye Zhao would naturally say it.

...

Huang Shao found a leader and took two confidants to quietly leave He Yi's camp. The military discipline of the Yellow Turban Army was already loose, and although Huang Shao had no troops now, he was the leader after all, so it was not difficult to leave.

He was really nervous. He didn't know whether his move was right or wrong, but as the Taiping Cult became more and more popular, Huang Shao had already vaguely felt that he would not have a future if he continued to follow the Taiping Cult.

Huang Shao is half a scholar, but the reason why he is half a scholar is because of his origin. He is not even a poor family. He has been able to read in Taoist temples since he was a child, so he is considered a scholar. However, except for some of the few Taoist classics collected in Taoist temples, he has never read any other books.

Later, the Taiping Cult became prosperous, and the Taoist temple where Huang Shao was located was ruined, so he simply joined the Taiping Cult. In the past few years, he had more opportunities to get in touch with books.

Huang Shao didn't know about the rebellion of the Taiping Cult, but he had already had the mark of the Taiping Cult. It was not easy to get rid of it. He became the leader in a confused manner. Later, after occupying the city in Runan, Huang Shao got a lot of books from some families, which he regarded as treasures.

However, the more you read, the more you feel panicked. Although the Taiping Cult is now very popular, Huang Shao is in it and compares the current Taiping Cult with history one by one, but he finds that the Taiping Cult has all the factors of failure.

The system is unknown, the internal structure is chaotic, there are many factions and even internal members are intriguing each other. In addition, the superiors in the sect are almost all short-sighted people. Although the Taiping Cult is now in a huge momentum, if compared with history, this is basically a template for a failed uprising.

As a result, as Huang Shao expected, I don’t know anything else. In Runan alone, there were Qu Commander He Yi, Grand Commander Gong Du, Big Leader Liu Pi, Wu Ba and others to split the vast Runan. The Yellow Turban Army was not in production. Almost all military postures were robbed. The various forces did not see each other. All of this seemed to promote the demise of the Taiping Cult as recorded in history books.

Then He Yi was defeated in Ruyin and was driven by the officers and soldiers and broke through his city, causing him to inexplicably be involved in the defeated army. It was on that day that Huang Shao met Ye Zhao.

The combat power of the official army was beyond imagination. The troops he had just organized to resist were broken by Ye Zhao's troops in an instant. Just when Huang Shao thought his life was over, the imagined butcher knife did not fall. Moreover, he met Ye Zhao, an official who made Huang Shao feel very different.

Huang Shao couldn't say what he felt, but Ye Zhao still recognized the evaluation of the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, when Ye Zhao surrendered, Huang Shao agreed without much hesitation.

But what surprised him was that Ye Zhao did not let him follow, but asked him to return to He Yi and continue to follow He Yi, and even helped He Yi stabilize his morale.

Huang Shao couldn't guess what Ye Zhao was going to do, but the plan was obviously not small. He stayed in He Yi's heart these two days and was uneasy, afraid that he would reveal some flaws. That feeling was not good. Until Ye Zhao sent someone to find him, Huang Shao's mind relaxed. No matter what the result was, at least he would not have to live such a tormented life anymore.

Under the leadership of a strong man dressed in Yellow Turban, Huang Shao finally met Ye Zhao again after walking around several hills.

"Mr. Huang, I haven't seen each other for several days, and I've become much haggard." Ye Zhao had a warm smile on his face, and it looked harmless. It made people and animals. It was unexpected that it was such a person who fought with thousands of people and rushed to the scene.

"Shao, see the lord." Huang Shao hurriedly stepped forward to worship Ye Zhao. Unlike people like Liao Hua who were full of idealism, Huang Shao was a very pragmatic person, and he had been living in the Taiping Sect for many years and was no longer an innocent boy like Liao Hua.

"No gift." Ye Zhao waved to Huang Shao and asked him to sit opposite him.

"I'm looking for a sir to come today. I need help from you in something." Ye Zhao looked at Huang Shao and said with a smile.

"My lord just says it's okay. As long as Shao can do it, he will be obliged." Huang Shao's heart sank and he quickly bowed.

"I can definitely do it. I want you to lead your troops to join Liu Pi." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Just say that He Yi has merged your troops. He is angry and is willing to lead the deployment to join Liu Pi. He agreed to ask Liu Pi to open the city gate in the night three days later and you will bring your troops into the city."

"This..." Huang Shao looked at Ye Zhao in confusion and nodded, "But it's not difficult, it's just..."

What is the purpose? Huang Shao didn't know what Ye Zhao was thinking.

"But this matter is a false surrender. After communicating with Liu Pi, as long as Liu Pi agrees, you will immediately inform He Yi of the matter and ask He Yi to ambush him and attack the city in one fell swoop when Liu Pi opens the city gate!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"This..." Huang Shao widened his eyes. He finally understood Ye Zhao's real plan. He wanted Liu Pi and He Yihuo to join!

"As for the order!" After taking a deep breath and suppressing the horror in his heart, Huang Shao saw Ye Zhao looking at him with a smile, and quickly looked solemn, bowing to Ye Zhao, "I just hope that lord should not forget the previous agreement."

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir is talented. After this battle, Zhao will be the governor of Mr. Zheng Pi. Although he is not a high-ranking official, he will finally have a background in the future."

"Thank you, lord." Huang Shao nodded when he heard this. He secretly surrendered to Ye Zhao. In addition to being able to get rid of the Yellow Turban and whitewash himself, he also hopes to get a good background.

He understood this life. Without a single origin, the road to study was too difficult, so he would not forget it, but he did not want his descendants to be like him and would have no way to study in his whole life.

Ye Zhao discussed some specific plans with Huang Shao before sending Huang Shao away.

After seeing Huang Shao leave, Qiu Chicai smiled and looked at Ye Zhao: "The master's plan to drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger is really wonderful. It's just that there is a distance between our army and Ge Ling, and Gong Du is stationed in Shangcai. Even if both of them are in the end, our army will probably find it difficult to come in time."
