[Can this get away with the thief?]
When the commander of the Northern Army Lu Zhi summoned the captains of each battalion, Sima, and fake Sima in the commander's tent, everyone present still felt that the previous scene was still incredible. ≤
Nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Northern Army joined forces to encircle and suppress only 400 people of the "Zhang Baiqi". They were still in the situation of observing the night attack and setting up ambush in advance, but even so, they still asked Zhang Baiqi to run away. This attack caused by the generals in the account was extremely big.
Even Guo Dian, the prefect of Julu who had originally taken Zhang Baiqi seriously, bowed his head and said nothing because of this matter, let alone others.
"Shooting Camp... Why did it leave the original ambushing site?" As the head coach, Lu Zhi took the lead in attacking the sound shooting captain Ma Riyi, because it was Ma Riyi who changed his plan during the chaos. Before the Yellow Turban Thieves Army reached the ambush site, he went out and left the ambush site and went to attack the thieves army.
Facing Lu Zhi's serious tone, Ma Riyi Gujing Wubo had no shame or regret for his bad things, and bowed his fists and explained, "Lu Shuai Mingjian, why did he let his subordinates take the initiative to attack instead of waiting for the ambush, but because all the signs prove that Zhang Baiqi had seen through the ambush plan when he was in the central army. Otherwise, this thief would abandon the closest position of our army's commander and not take it, but instead ordered his subordinates to turn their horses to retreat?"
As soon as this said, Lu Zhi showed a deep puzzled look on his face. He asked in surprise, "You said, Zhang Baiqi actually guessed that an ambush was set up near the commander's tent?"
"That's right!" Ma Riyi nodded heavily, then glanced at Bao Hong, a captain of the Tunqi, and said lightly, "For specifics, please explain to you, Lord Tunqi, to you."
"..." Bao Hong, the captain of the Tunqi, looked at the people in the station with a embarrassed look on his face. Because he had long greeted Ma Riyi, he had already guessed the real reason why the thief felt that the situation was wrong, and the reason why he was quite amused and crying.
"Lu Shuai Mingjian..." He sighed secretly, and the captain of the cavalry of the cavalry, Bao Hong, clasped his fists and explained, "Previously, Lu Shuai ordered the soldiers of our battalions to secretly release water, lure Zhang Baiqi into the position of the central commander's tent, and then surrounded and wiped out the situation... At that time, the general concluded that this wave of thieves would definitely die, and was afraid that they would become ruthless before being surrounded by our army. Destroy the equipment, baggage, or magic tricks of the cavalry of the cavalry of the cavalry of the cavalry of the cavalry of the cavalry of the cavalry, causing chaos. Therefore, the general ordered the knights in the camp not to attack, and just guard the important supplies in the camp, but did not expect that Zhang Baiqi would see the clues... The general was aware of the crime and was willing to be dealt with!" At the end, Bao Hong held his fists and knocked on the ground with one knee, lowered his head and knelt in the tent.
"..." Lu Zhi looked at Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army. They thought that Bao Hong had made a big mistake. This made Zhang Baiqi notice the crisis in advance, but now he heard the explanations of Ma Riyi and Bao Hong, it was clearly not like that.
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhi finally decided to pardon Bao Hong's guilt. No. It should not be the guilt, because Bao Hong did not do anything dereliction of duty. After all, as the lieutenant of the Tunqi, Bao Hong should have taken the interests of the Tunqi Camp to heart. It can only be said that Zhang Baiqi was too cunning and noticed that something was wrong.
[The mistake is in Bao Hong. But it is not his crime!]
Lu Zhi sighed with regret. In his opinion, this was undoubtedly the best opportunity to eliminate Zhang Baiqi. Moreover, the Northern Army did force Zhang Baiqi into a desperate situation the moment before, but who would have thought that Zhang Baiqi would escape in the desperate situation the next moment. It was simply incredible.
"Mr. Lu, I think that the Yellow Turban Thief knows magic is the primary priority for the failure to achieve this battle..."
Seeing that Lu Zhi was silent, Liu Biao was wrong and quickly whispered to Bao Hong.
When Lu Zhi heard this, he woke up from his thoughts. Seeing that Bao Hong was still kneeling in the middle of the tent, he slowly walked over and helped him up. He nodded and said, "What Jing Sheng said is very true. This battle is indeed not the fault of Lord Bao Hong. Lord Bao Hong please get up."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you, Lord Zhonghou." Bao Hong was naturally relieved when he got Lu Zhi to forgive the mistakes of the battle. While thanking Lu Zhi, he also did not forget to express his gratitude to Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army.
Liu Biao was stunned for a moment. You should know that he was sent by General He Jin to supervise all generals of the Northern Army, including the commander Lu Zhi and the captains of each battalion. Therefore, although he was born as a royal noble, he was inevitably labeled as a general. As the army to which the court power belonged, the Northern Army was already somewhat alienated from the general's forces. Because of this, since Liu Biao came to the Northern Army, he was inevitably discouraged one after another. But now, Lu Zhi seems to intend to raise his prestige in the Northern Army?
"..." After smiling at Bao Hong with kindness, Liu Biao looked at Lu Zhi with a little confusion, feeling thoughtful.
Lu Zhi did not notice Liu Biao's gaze. At the moment, he was full of regrets of not being able to eliminate Zhang Baiqi. After walking in the tent a few steps, he sighed quietly and ordered, "I ordered Jizhou Prefecture to order him to issue a wanted notice to all cities and counties in the territory: the Yellow Turban thief head, known as the "Little Heavenly Master", Zhang Sheng, who is "Zhang Baiqi", offers a reward of 50,000 yuan in gold, regardless of life or death!"
[…]
The generals in the tent were slightly shocked when they heard this. You should know that the high reward of 50,000 taels of Yellow Turban was offered by the court. Previously, the imperial court only gave a reward to the leader of Taiping Road, the great wise and good teacher Zhang Jiao. At present, Lu Zhi seemed to feel that Zhang Baiqi's threat to the court was no less than Zhang Jiao, which surprised everyone.
But when you think about it, the generals felt that this reward was not inappropriate: this man called Zhang Baiqi led troops to attack the Northern Army twice on the battlefield, and tried to assassinate the commander of the Northern Army twice but failed. Then, at night, he led troops to attack the main camp of the Northern Army at night, and successfully escaped and escaped in the layers of encirclement and ambush of the Northern Army. Carefully counted, this man brought nearly 3,000 direct casualties to the Northern Army, and the number of people killed more than 1,000 people. How could such a guy not be worth a reward of 50,000 taels of gold?!
At this time, Lu Zhi's deputy general, came in from outside the tent, bringing a count of losses from the Northern Army tonight.
"Ship Lu, our army killed a total of 279 Yellow Turban thieves tonight. The number of deaths in our army reached 462, and the number of injuries reached more than 500. Among them, the infantry battalion accounted for 446 deaths, and the remaining number of deaths returned to the Tunqi Camp, and the Knights of the Tunqi Camp were not lost."
"Four hundred and forty-six?" Lu Zhi looked at the clerk in disbelief. It was hard for him to imagine that under the premise of setting up an ambush in their Northern Army, they actually lost nearly a Qu's troops. As for the loss of only a dozen people from the Tunqi Camp, he did not take it seriously. It was no need to guess that it was just the casualties that Zhang Baiqi Cavalry encountered a team of Tunqi Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry was indeed not as strong as the regular army. Even though they had the advantage in the total number of people, their reaction ability was far inferior to that of the regular army. So Zhang Baiqi escaped successfully.
"The troops almost have a single Qun..." Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army, couldn't help but look at the infantry captain Liu Jiang, the nobleman who was also from the royal family, had a gloomy expression at this moment.
"So many infantry died unjustly because Lu was not considering it..." Obviously, he noticed Liu Jiang's expression, and Lu Zhi committed the crime of this battle. But everyone knew that the reason why the infantrymen in the infantry battalion suffered such huge losses was only because they were at an absolute disadvantage in front of the Yellow Turban thieves who mastered the magic. It is no exaggeration to say that the infantry at that time was purely unilaterally beaten in front of the Yellow Turban thieves. In terms of terms, this is the restraint of the troops.
"This... is not Lu Shuai's fault. It is the thief who is too cunning." Infantry Captain Liu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head and said. Obviously, he was also a person who understood the truth and would not count the deaths deployed by his subordinates on Lu Zhi's plan. On the contrary, he was more inclined to Lu Zhi's plan. After all, the plan to lure the enemy will be successful. Unfortunately, Zhang Baiqi's mind was too meticulous, and he saw through the intentions of the Northern Army just a small omission. This can be called a crime of non-war.
"No, it's Lu's crime... Lu thought he had overestimated the Baiqi enough, but he didn't expect that. He still underestimated him. The Yellow Turban Thief had such a person. Our trip to Jizhou would probably not be easy..." In the end, he decided to bear the crime of defeat. Lu Zhi sighed deeply.
Suddenly, he changed his mind and said firmly, "However! Even if our army was defeated twice, since the court has entrusted us with important tasks, how can we let the court down? Let Your Majesty be disappointed?... This time, Lu summoned you not to raise an army to question the crime, but to gather ideas and discuss with you a safe way to deal with the Yellow Turban thieves. We must never give the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of!"
The lieutenant, Sima, and the fake Sima of each battalion bowed their heads and said nothing, and they had to say that they were indeed hit. You must know that Zhang Huang's ability was obviously not as good as them, and the quality of the Yellow Turban Army was not as good as the soldiers of the Northern Army, but Zhang Huang made them dirty one after another, which made them unable to understand.
"Jing Sheng, what do you think?" Lu Zhi turned his attention to Liu Biao.
Maybe he didn't expect Lu Zhi to be the first to ask him half of the outsider. Liu Biao was a little stunned for a moment, then bowed his hand and replied, "Report to Mr. Lu, I think there are three reasons why our Northern Army failed."
"To be more specific." Lu Zhi said, stroking his beard.
Liu Biao nodded and said in a deep voice, "First, underestimate the enemy."
"Under the enemy?" Bao Hong, the captain of the Tunqi cavalry, retorted in confusion, "The Northern Army never underestimates the enemy!"
"It's not clear." Liu Biao smiled slightly and said more correctly, "To be more precise, it should be arrogant. Facing a bandit whose soldiers are not as good as our army, our soldiers are in absurd from their bones, and blindly believe that the only group of bandits on the opposite side can be wiped out without any effort... If it weren't for arrogance, when Zhang Baiqin only brought a few dozen cavalry to attack our army's main formation, the five lieutenants could kill him. However, the five lieutenants felt that the little thief did not need to do it himself, nor did the five people join forces, so that Zhang Baiqin finally escaped and eventually led to such a change today, right?"
"This..." Liu Jiang, Bao Hong and Ma Riyi were speechless because they thought about it carefully and found that as Liu Biao said, they did have the chance to kill Zhang Baiqi several times, but because of their own identity, they missed the opportunity.
"Reputation is not more important than record. Without record, there is no reputation." Liu Biao's addition left the three lieutenants present speechless.
Not to mention these three lieutenants, even Lu Zhi had not taken Zhang Huang to heart before, otherwise he would have ordered the lieutenant of the Fifth Battalion to surround and kill Zhang Baiqi. If he had issued an order at that time, even if Liu Jiang, Bao Hong, Wu Fu and others were unhappy, they would not dare not refuse to obey.
"Ahem. What about the second one?" Lu Zhi asked a little embarrassedly.
Seeing that Lu Zhi obviously didn't want to talk about this in detail, Liu Biao was secretly happy, but said seriously, "Secondly, our army is too aggressive."
"Advanced? How can I tell?" the clan asked in surprise. Because he was careful and cautious, he did not see any greed for merit and advancement.
"There are various signs that prove that: First, our Northern Army began to besiege Pingxiang just half a day after our arrival in Jizhou; second, everyone rashly believed that trampling Pingpingxiang County was just a day-long achievement; third, our army had not even set up camps and bars. Why? Because everyone in our army believed that it would be easy to capture Pingxiang County, so there was no need to strengthen the defense of the main business in one fell swoop."
As soon as these words were spoken, even Lu Zhi was a little worried, let alone the captains and generals of the other three battalions. However, after they thought about it carefully, they found that everything Liu Biao said was reasonable: Even if he had never said something about underestimating the enemy, they did not take the Yellow Turban thief on the opposite side seriously. If this was not underestimating the enemy and being arrogant, what was this?
For a moment, the entire tent was silent, and everyone was digesting Liu Biao's words.
At this moment, Liu Biao's tone slowed down and continued, "It is actually easy for our army to defeat the Yellow Turbans in Pingxiang.... Although Zhang Baiqi defeated our army twice, in the final analysis, he just took advantage of the loopholes of our army underestimating the enemy. If our army had taken all precautions before every battle, how could he succeed?... There was no need for any strategy. Our army only needed to use the right way to use troops and take steps to defeat the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou. It was just around the corner!"
Liu Biao's words undoubtedly shocked everyone in the tent, and even Lu Zhi felt a sudden enlightenment.
What I said is, why do you have to deliberately try to eliminate Zhang Baiqi? You must know that in the face of the powerful military power of the Northern Army, a mere Zhang Baiqi is insignificant. As long as the Northern Army crushes over with its impeccable military power, what about Zhang Baiqi and Liu Baiqi, aren’t it just the defeat and death?
"Cracks are hard to defeat open plots, and surprises are no match for the right way to use troops!... As long as all the cities and counties in Jizhou are recovered, no matter Zhang Baiqi or Pingxiang Yellow Turbans, they will have nowhere to hide. At that time, there will be enough time and opportunity to deal with them."
Liu Biao, the royal nobleman who would later be like a separatist in the future, gradually showed his qualifications as a hero in one place. The words he said made everyone in the tent deeply understand. At the same time, the captains and generals of the Northern Army looked up to the qualities of the general He Jin.
"A word woke up from the dream, but Jing Sheng could see through it." Looking at Liu Biao, Lu Zhi sincerely praised.
"Mr. Lu is too much, I just have some experience." Liu Biao replied modestly. Although he couldn't figure out why Lu Zhi wanted to enhance his prestige in the Northern Army, this is not a bad thing, right?
"Then... is that Zhang Baiqi still wanted?" The deputy general turned his head and looked at Lu Zhi.
"Um..." Lu Zhi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Take a two-pronged approach!... However, our army focuses on regaining the lost Chengxian and eliminating any enemy troops blocking our army. In addition, from today on, our army will regard the Yellow Turbans in the Pingxiang as a thief army that is enough to confront our army!"
"No!" The captains and generals in the tent obviously understood it, and nodded in response after hearing this.
"Since you have to regard it as a thief army that is enough to fight against me, then..." After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhi turned to the clan and said, "Deputy General of the clan, you will immediately inform Hanoi and order him to take strict precautions when escorting food and grass. I suspect... Zhang Baiqi saw that the night attack on our army may be possible to cut off our army's food route!"
"promise!"
"I ordered Wu Fu, the captain of the Yueqi Camp, to be responsible for the movements around our army after returning... No matter where our army is, within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, I don't want any other thief army to search so easily under our noses."
"promise!"
"Liu Jiang, the infantry battalion commander, obeyed the order. From today on, every place he went, he would first set up camp, dig ditches, camp rails, resist horses, and deer antlers. The shortcomings in people... Guo Dian, I ordered you to lead the soldiers of Julu County to help."
"No!" Infantry Captain Liu Jiang and Julu Prefect Guo Dian held their fists and accepted the order.
In just one moment, Lu Zhi finished giving instructions on all matters of all sizes and sizes.
It has to be said that the change in the Northern Army's attitude towards the enemy has eliminated the possibility of Zhang Huang taking advantage of the loopholes and sneak attacks again. As Lu Zhi expected, after Zhang Huang failed to retreat to Nansi or Guangping. He did not give up and went against the other side and actually attacked the Northern Army's grain transport team. Unfortunately, the latter had been on guard after receiving Lu Zhi's order. In desperation, Zhang Huang had to bring the remaining troops to retreat again.
From that day on, the Northern Army gave up the plan to wipe out the Yellow Turbans in Pingxiang, adopted a steady and step-by-step tactic to recover Guangping and Quzhou's large and small counties, and defeated Zhang Huang in Quzhou. It is no wonder that in the face of the impeccable Northern Army, no matter how much Zhang Huang had the idea, he could do anything due to his own military strength and his own strength restrictions.
In this way, Lu Zhi led the Northern Army to push it to Guangzong.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Huang has been forced into a desperate situation by Lu Zhi and has no choice.
However, Lu Zhi's safe tactics also made Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was eager to quell the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans, increasingly anxious.
Therefore, in the name of Fujun, the emperor sent Huangmen Zuofeng to inspect the battle situation of the Northern Army in suppressing the bandits. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
