Three Kingdoms: Summon the Black-robed Prime Minister Yao Guangxiao at the beginning

From a defensive perspective, the safety inside the city is definitely higher than the camp outside the city.

Zhu Jun's remaining soldiers are about 2,000, and Wang Yao's rebel army is only 1,500. If there is no joint command, it is normal for a small number of people to defend the city.

Besides, Wang Yao was the first to arrive at Changsha, and Zhu Jun fled here and relied on others to support him, so it was naturally difficult to fight.

Zhu Jun: "Then I will follow your words. I will stay in the main camp. Before Yizhen (Huangfu Song) arrives, please be careful to defend. If Changsha City is broken, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to resist the offensive of the Yellow Turban bandits."

Wang Yao bowed and said: "General, don't worry. With me, Changsha City is as solid as a rock."

"That's good."

Zhu Jun can only trust Wang Yao now. After all, with only two thousand remaining soldiers in his hands, he can't defend Changsha City and the main camp at the same time. If he only defends the city, it will be more dangerous after being surrounded. The situation will be slightly better if they can reinforce each other.

After the main defense issues were discussed, Wang Yao and his party returned to Changsha City.

"Jinglue, how is the expansion of the army?"

Since we have arrived in Changsha, we can recruit some young and strong men in the city to assist in the subsequent battles.

"Master, we have added another 300 soldiers. If we don't count today's casualties, our total force is 1,800. Although the quality of the soldiers needs to be improved, at least they are all young and strong."

"Wait a minute to count today's casualties and then replenish them. Next, we will probably have a tough battle."

"Yes."

Yellow Turban Camp

After Bo Cai learned from the fleeing Yellow Turban warriors that He Jie's army was annihilated, he was immediately furious: "Waste, taking a thousand Yellow Turbans with you? The remnants of the Yellow Turbans who were chasing Zhu Jun were all lost!"

"General Qu, calm down." General Qu Yao Feng said: "It is said that someone helped Zhu Jun, which gave them the opportunity to ambush. I suggest that we should chase him as soon as possible. Killing Zhu Jun will definitely shock the Han court."

Bo Cai knew that speed is the essence of war and the principle of pursuing victory: "Order the whole army to march to Changsha!"

"Yes, sir."

Under the command of Bo Cai, the Yellow Turban army arrived at Changsha with a great victory and surrounded Changsha.

However, Bo Cai, who had just arrived, did not rush to attack, but surrounded Changsha.

On the tower

Wang Yao looked at the Yellow Turban camp in the distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Since he and Zhu Jun set up camp separately, the rebels who were originally in the camp have returned to the city.

Wen Ji stood beside Wang Yao: "Young Master, we are now surrounded by Bo Cai, and we don't know where General Huangfu Song is."

"General Huangfu Song should be here soon, and according to my estimate, it will be no problem to hold out for half a month. As long as Huangfu Song can arrive within half a month, the overall situation will be settled."

"Oh?" Wen Ji was a little confused: "Bo Cai claims to have an army of 200,000. How many soldiers can General Huangfu Song bring? Food and grass are also a big problem. We are nowWith only half a month's supply of food and grass, if General Huangfu Song comes and cannot open up the food route, it will be troublesome."

Wen Ji had seen the miserable scene of Zhu Jun retreating to the Changsha camp with his remaining troops. In his heart, he had to question his assessment of the ability of the court generals.

"Don't worry, Huangfu Song is definitely not comparable to Zhu Jun, and I already have a plan to defeat the enemy. Anyway, I have to wait for the opportunity, and when Huangfu Song's reinforcements arrive, I will be more confident to wipe out Bo Cai."

"What plan to defeat the enemy? Even if the reinforcements arrive, our strength is probably less than 30% of the Yellow Turban bandits."

Wang Yao shook his head: "Zihe, you still need to read more and observe more. Marching and fighting does not depend entirely on the number of troops.

You see, the bandits are now camping on the grass, which can easily catch fire due to the wind. We just need to wait for the wind to rise. If we attack the camp at night and set it on fire, the Yellow Turban bandits are lacking in training, and they will be frightened and scattered. Then we will attack them from multiple directions and we will surely be able to defeat the Yellow Turban bandits. ”

“Young Master, this strategy is good, but it also depends on whether God will provide the wind.”

“The weather, the terrain, and the people are favorable. Now that the Yellow Turban bandits have defeated Zhu Jun, their morale is high, and they have the advantage in numbers, which is their people’s harmony; Changsha is not a big city, and the city defense is not strong, which is not conducive to long-term defense. Our geographical advantage is not great; the key to the decisive battle is this strong wind that represents the weather. We have to admit that fighting requires a little luck. ”

“As long as we hold on, we can still consume the Yellow Turbans’ sharpness.”

“Well, strengthen the defense.”

“Yes. ”

At this moment, Huangfu Song had led his army across the Yingshui River and received the news that Zhu Jun was defeated and surrounded in Changsha together with Wang Yao's rebel army.

Looking at the battle report in front of him, Huangfu Song's face was solemn.

The messenger who delivered the letter said earnestly: "General Huangfu, General Zhu is in a critical condition. I hope you can send reinforcements as soon as possible."

Huangfu Song waved his hand: "You should retreat first and have a rest. I will ask the cook to make you something delicious. It is not easy for you to deliver the letter."

"Thank you, General. ”

Huangfu Song rubbed his temples, feeling a little tangled.

According to Zhu Jun's letter for help, most of his troops had been annihilated, leaving only about 2,000 remnants, and there were only more than 1,000 volunteers under Wang Yao in Changsha City.

If Changsha was surrounded by Bo Cai, it would be difficult to defend.

If he did not move his troops and watched Wang Yao and Zhu Jun being annihilated, Huangfu Song would not dare to think about it. If he did so, he would probably find it difficult to gain a foothold in the court.

In fact, Huangfu Song had two choices: either to reinforce Changsha and see if he could rescue Zhu Jun and Wang Yao; or to use them as bait and send out a large number of scouts to explore Bo Cai's food supply and cut off the connection between his rear and the front-line army.

Bo Cai claimed to have an army of 200,000, and the daily consumption of food and grass was not small.

But the key was whether Zhu Jun and Wang Yao could hold on until Huangfu Song cut off Zhu Jun's food supply.

Just as Huangfu Song was thinking, the guards came to report:

"General, an angel (the emperor's messenger) is here."

"What angel?"

Huangfu Song was a little confused. The news of Zhu Jun's defeat should not be reported back to Luoyang so quickly, right?

"Quick, take me there."

Huangfu Song walked out of the big tent and met a young man.

"Wang Shi of Taiyuan, courtesy name Xianyun, meets General Huangfu."

"Are you an angel?"

"Yes, but the imperial edict is not for you, General Huangfu."

"Who is it for?" Huangfu Song was a little confused. It's not for me. You came to my military camp.

Wang Shi replied: "The court learned that General Wang Yao had defeated the Yellow Turbans and killed Bu Ji. His Majesty was very pleased and appointed Wang Yao as a general to continue to lead the army to suppress the Yellow Turbans. I will pass on the imperial edict on his behalf. However, it seems that General Wang is trapped in Changsha at present, and it seems difficult to deliver the imperial edict."

When in Luoyang, Wang Shi took into account the rampage of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of the imperial edict and to adapt to the situation, he bribed Zhang Rang and got the opportunity to pass on the imperial edict on his behalf.
