Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Liu Ye waved his hand: It's okay, I'll wait for the big victory to come back today, if they don't leave, I'm going to find a way to punish the two of them.

Wu De rubbed his fists: Brother's words are true, these thieves are afraid of thieves, how can they know how brave Brother is?

Tan Xing fights timidly, Wang Zhen is jealous of himself, and staying in Licheng is an unstable factor. Now that they have left by themselves, it saves Liu Ye from making a move. Instead, the whole city is united and everyone obeys Liu Ye's orders. Today's Licheng It can be regarded as a solid piece of iron, and the only thing to worry about is that there are less than a thousand defenders in the city. Although Liu Ye is brave, he is at most an enemy of a hundred people.

Liu Ye thought hard in his heart, only to see a sentinel galloping from afar, rushed to the top of the city, and shouted towards the top of the city: Brother Liu, the yellow scarf retreated for thirty miles and did not leave.

Liu Ye hurriedly ordered the sentry to ride up to the top of the city, and asked in detail: Have the thieves ever set up camp, or sat on the ground? Don't think about Licheng anymore.

The sentinel took a few breaths: The thieves set up camp and arranged for people to cut wood to make ladders. It seems that this posture has not given up.

Liu Ye's face was solemn, and not long after, the other three sentry cavalry also rushed back one after another. The yellow scarf bandit left a part of the army and horses to guard the camp, and sent thousands of troops to raid the wilderness to collect food and grass. It seemed that they were going to fight him to the end .

Relying on his bravery and agility, although he has won consecutive victories over the Yellow Turbans, the morale of the generals in the city is now high, but after all, they have suffered from insufficient manpower. After a little thought, Liu Ye ordered Zhao and others to write two letters. He and Sun Chang, the county captain, were killed by the Yellow Turban bandits. He had no choice but to lead the army and civilians in Licheng to fight against the Yellow Turban bandits, hoping that reinforcements would come soon.

These two letters were carried by two sentinel cavalry, and sent to Yangqiu and Baoyin respectively. After all, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If Licheng is captured, the yellow turban bandits with a big appetite will definitely not stop here. At that time, Jinan Kingdom will govern twelve counties None can escape.

The two sentinels galloped out, while Liu Ye ordered the artisans in the city to step up making arrows, and the soldiers practiced rigorously. There was no shortage of food and grass in Licheng. As much as he eats, he will naturally be more satisfied with this big brother.

Fenggao County.

You said that Liu Yuqing beheaded the generals of the bandit army one after another, sent surprise soldiers to kill Zhou Jun, the commander of the yellow scarf at night, and burned all the food and grass of the bandit army. Is this true?

Fenggao County Magistrate looked at Tang Xia Senqi with doubts on his face.

The sentry cavalry accompanied Liu Ye to fight against the enemy, and he had a vigor on his body, and said loudly: It is true, Brother Liu is brave and invincible. Fear it.

County magistrate Fenggao shook his head lightly, sneered and threw the paper out, and the fluffy paper fell to the ground.

Nonsense, forgive that Liu Yuqing is just an idle rascal. Even though he has some bravery to help defend the city, but both Song Dongguan and Sun Chang were killed by thieves, he can still save Licheng?

The more Fenggao County Magistrate said, the more he became convinced: I think Licheng has fallen! Liu Ye has long been a thief, but now he is holding a letter to deceive me. Once the defenders of Gaogao leave the city, he will lead the thief army to take my city. Today, please forgive me! Life, go back quickly!

The sentry rider was taken aback: Brother Liu has made great achievements in breaking the thief, how can he be a thief?

The magistrate of Fenggao did not allow him to make further arguments, and immediately ordered left and right to drive him out.

The magistrate Fenggao thought: there are tens of thousands of yellow scarf thieves, even if Liu Yuqing really defended Licheng, he might be struggling, otherwise why would he ask me for help? The Yellow Turban bandits are very powerful, now they have to defend the city and wait for Master Wang. Just defending Fenggao County is a great achievement. If they go out of the city to rescue Licheng, wouldn't it be a big crime if the Yellow Turban bandits took advantage of the city?

This magistrate of Fenggao County thinks he is smart, and since the uprising of the Taiping Road Yellow Turban Army, the reason why they have been invincible, sweeping the eight states, and the team is rolling and screaming and gathering millions of people is precisely because of this, the defenses in various places only know how to protect themselves. Not reaching out to colleagues. As a result, some cities were breached, and the yellow turban thieves rushed into the city to open the arsenal to obtain armor, opened the official warehouse to distribute food, and enlisted the young and strong to join the group. After their strength increased greatly, they attacked the previous cities, and they really became stronger and stronger.

The sentry rider thought about it and had no choice but to urge his horse to run back to Licheng and report this to Liu Ye face to face. Not long after, the sentry cavalry who were ordered to go to Yangqiu also returned without success. The magistrate of Yangqiu did not frame Liu Ye as a thief like the magistrate of Fenggao.

Wu De's temper was the most irritable, and he immediately complained: No wonder the Yellow Turban Bandits want to rebel, these officials cherish their lives like gold, it really is not worth killing them.

And Liu Ye frowned, thinking that this would be a bit difficult, there was no reinforcements outside, and the number of warriors in Licheng could not be more than a few hundred, even if they were defending the city, they faced twenty thousand yellow scarves many people.

Sun Tzu's Art of War said that ten times encircle it, which means that ten times the force is basically sure to win. Although the Yellow Turban Bandits were weak and killed thousands of people, their force was more than twenty times that of Licheng. ! In other words, even if ten yellow turban thieves died, it would be a loss if one of Licheng's defenders died.

Although there was no wind in the hall, the lights were flickering, reflecting Liu Ye's uncertain face, not to mention him, even Zhang Jiao, who is known as a great virtuous teacher, could at most make a few bowls of talisman water to treat illnesses. , it is impossible to really have the stunt of turning beans into soldiers.

Seeing that Liu Ye's two eyebrows were almost connected together, Wu De comforted him immediately: Brother, don't worry, there are at least 20,000 elders in Licheng, after the city is broken, they will all fall into the hands of thieves, and 20,000 elders will definitely be punished. They are definitely willing to do their best to help defend the city.

Liu Ye nodded slightly. Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Bandit didn't have a siege engine, only a few simple ladders, otherwise Licheng would have been unable to defend it long ago.

There is no food for the bandits. Although they send troops to raid the wilderness, the income is only a drop in the bucket. It is useless. We will hold on to the city. The bandits will run out of food and grass, so we will retreat. Zhao et al said.

Liu Ye shook his head and said with a wry smile: You only know one thing, not the other. If the bandits run out of food and grass, they will put all their eggs in one basket. They will try their best to break through Licheng and get food and rice. Then they will really pay for their lives. .”

In the great chaos at the end of Qin Dynasty, the allied armies of the princes fought fiercely with the Qin army in Julu. The armies did not dare to move forward, but Xiang Yu led the Chu army to the bottom of the boat, and only brought three days of food and grass. As a result, nine battles and nine victories were achieved, defeating a full 200,000 Qin army. .
