Chapter 12 Changshe Fire

After Lu Zhi finished talking about the current situation, he said to Liu Bin: "Champion Hou Yingyong is good at fighting, brave and resourceful. After talking to you last time, he has benefited a lot. I wonder what you can do about the current situation?" Last time he was really shocked by Liu Bin, so he really put his hope on Liu Bin. When Liu Bin heard it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Lu Zhi really valued himself too much. He was okay to fight field battles, but he didn't have much experience in siege battles. This is also impossible. The military training and military experience he had received before were mostly hot weapons, and the serious siege battles were gone. He could not hold the bag in front of so many people and blew up the city walls. Besides, his subordinates were indeed quite good, but these directors and cavalrymen did not have much effect on siege battles.

So Liu Bin smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary Lu, you think too much of me. There is no other way to do this situation in front of you except for a strong attack. There is no other way to have any crisis within the Yellow Turban Thief. However, there are many enemies in front of you, and if you forcefully attack the city, there will definitely be heavy casualties. Moreover, there is a thief Zhang Jiao personally in charge in Guangzong City, so there is no crisis in the short term. Although my subordinates are brave and good at fighting, they are all cavalry and do not have much effect on siege. So there is no way for me."

After hearing this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but sighed with disappointment. In fact, he knew that there was no good idea in the current situation. The reason why he asked Liu Bin was that he only gave him a glimmer of hope. What good idea was that Liu Bin. Since Liu Bin had no good idea now, he could only continue to stalemate.

Although Lu Zhi was a little disappointed, he still said, "You don't have to be disappointed. I also know that there is no good way to do the current situation. But there is still a glimmer of hope in your heart. Oh. You are right. Your subordinates are all cavalry, and you really can't help much now. It's a waste of troops to let you stay here. Why not do this? A few days ago, the general of Zuo Zhonglang, Huangpuhao, wrote me a letter saying that the situation there is a bit of a crisis. Now Zhang Jiao is surrounded by me, while Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are leading troops in Yingchuan, Huangpuhao and Zhu Yan. You are all cavalry under your command. If the two armies of Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are wiped out, the remaining Zhang Jiao will not be enough to besieged. And then several armies can gather together, and our troops will be able to surpass the other side. In this way, you will be sure to attack the city by force."

Lu Zhi is not the kind of person who cannot make meritorious contributions by himself and does not allow others to make meritorious contributions. Since Liu Bin stays here, it doesn’t have much effect. It’s better to let him go to Yingchuan to help others. Moreover, he, Huangpu Hao and Zhu Ye are good friends, so asking Liu Bin to help them can be considered as helping him.

Liu Bin thought about it, it would be fine. Anyway, he couldn't kill Zhang Jiao for a while, so he might as well kill Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang first, so that others would not get the chance. So Liu helped you agree. Lu Zhi wrote a letter to Liu Bin and asked him to hand it over to Huangpu Hao, so Huangpu Hao would understand what he meant. After Liu Bin took this letter, he added some food and arrow branches to Lu Zhi's promise, and set off again to Ying in Yuzhou.

Sichuan advanced. Liu Bin led a large army to Yingchuan. This time he was revisiting the old place. When he came last, Yuzhou still looked peaceful and peaceful. Who knew that after only a few months, it became the main battlefield of the Yellow Turban Uprising, causing people to live in poverty and divorce. Yuzhou was originally the second largest state of the Han Dynasty, second only to Jizhou, but now it is deserted and looks down and out.

When Liu Bin arrived in Yingchuan, Huangpu Huang and Zhu Jun's army happened to be pushed to Changshe. They were not in the battle with Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, so they had to retreat first. Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao also led their troops to press forward step by step. Both sides were now in Changshe. Liu Bin briefly understood the situation, and came to the Han army's agreement and informed Huangpu Huang. Huangpu Hao and Zhu Jun were worried about the current situation. When they heard his subordinates say that the champion Hou Liu Bin was here, they came out to greet him quickly. They had heard of Liu Bin's name for a long time. .The last time when Liu Bin went to Luoyang, they went to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion of Han Sui and the generals, so they did not see Liu Bin. However, after they came back, they heard Lu Zhi and others praise Liu Bin, which made Huangpu Hao and others yearn for Liu Bin. Therefore, when they heard that Liu Bin came, they all came out to greet him. Liu Bin was coming, so naturally his elite soldiers and generals had to follow him. Now that they were in a bad situation, the war was not good, and if they had the help of the world's No. 1 army, they would definitely be able to reverse the situation.

Huangpuhao and Zhu Jun met Liu Bin outside the camp. After seeing the ceremony, Liu Bin handed Lu Zhi's heart to Huangpuhao. After Huangpuhao saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Liu Bin's army really came. And the 20,000 troops were all cavalry. At this moment, they had a helper. Huangpuhao led Liu Bin to look at the formation of the Yellow Turban Army and said, "I don't know if the champion Hou has a clever plan? Our army has just been defeated, and the morale of the generals is a bit low now. If we cannot win as soon as possible and boost our morale, it would be a bad thing."

Liu Bin looked at the Yellow Turban Army camp, and it was indeed like the grass-rooted camp introduced on the tree, which stretched for more than ten miles. When Liu Bin read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms before, he found that Luo Guanzhong seemed particularly inclined to use fire. The entire Three Kingdoms has been incessantly fired from the beginning. The first time in the book was to attack the fire was in this place. Huangpu Hao made a big fire in Changshe, and hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army were burned to flee. Now Huangpu Hao asked his own question, coupled with what Liu Bin saw with his own eyes, so he immediately said: "General, I think these Yellow Turban thieves do not seem to have any military knowledge. Look at them set up camp by grass. Continuous. If we take the opportunity to set up a fire, then these people will be defeated without attacking."

When Huangpu Hao heard this, his eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea. Liu Bin came to see what Lu Zhi said, and he had real skills. So he said, "It's a clever plan. The champion Hou is indeed a keen eye and can see the enemy's loopholes at a glance. Well, let's act according to the plan."

Zhu Jun on the side also nodded repeatedly. After the tenth day of the day, Huangpu Hao asked his soldiers to gather the entire army's vegetable oil, erected a torch, and prepared to burn the Yellow Turban troops to death. It happened that on that night, the sky was beautiful, and the sky was dark, and there was a wind, which just met the sentence; "The moon was dark and the murderous night, and the wind was high and the setting fire."

Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army did not have the habit of patrolling at night. The entire Yellow Turban Army camp was quiet and there was no figure.

Huangpu Hao ordered his soldiers to set fire on the upper vent, leaving only the lower vent, and gathered all the troops here. At the command of the army, the fire-proof soldiers set fire together. The dry firewood and vegetable oil and lamp oil suddenly turned into a huge fire. In addition, the night wind danced wildly, the wind helped the fire, and the fire helped the wind power. The Yellow Turban Army's camp of more than ten miles became a sea of ​​fire. The Yellow Turban Army was originally dreaming, but suddenly felt the heat. When someone got up, he found that the entire military camp had turned into a disaster and screamed. The entire Yellow Turban Army was panicked and was not as good as the armor. The horses were not as saddle as they ran around. They saw Huo Guang on the east, south and west sides, and only fire was on the back, so they rushed north together. Although there was indeed no fire in the north, there were also a long-awaited army. The Yellow Turban Army that had just rushed out of the sea of ​​fire came to face with a rain of arrows. Huangpu Hao gathered all the crossbows in their military camps, and Liu Bin's 20,000 troops were also equipped with crossbows. Tens of thousands of crossbows were fired together, so how could ordinary people resist? So the Yellow Turban Army that had just emerged turned into hedgehogs, with arrows stuck on them.

In the Yellow Turban Army, some people saw that there were all dead ends, either burned to death by fire or shot to death by Han army arrows. They were already desperate. At the critical moment of death, they couldn't help but become scared, and some people even started to cry. One person cried, turned into Bayern, and thousands of people cried, and the entire Yellow Turban Army began to cry. Liu Bin heard the crying of these people outside, and couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. These people were descendants of Yan and Huang. If they were burned to death like this, that would be great.

It's a pity. Moreover, burning them to death is also unfavorable to his plan to take refugees, so he said to Huangpu Hao: "General, now the Yellow Turban thieves are desperate, so don't give orders to surrender. No matter how you say they are all the people of our great man, it's a bit of a pity to burn them to death. Besides, they are at the end of their lives, and it's possible that they will fight to trap beasts. In this way, our army will inevitably suffer more casualties. Moreover, burning so many people with one fire will also damage their good deeds."

After hearing this, Huangpu Hao thought about it, he was a little dissatisfied with Liu Bin's first reason and believed that it was a woman's kindness. However, he had to consider the latter two reasons. After all, more unnecessary casualties were also a detriment to his reputation. Moreover, the ancients believed in the sayings of ghosts and gods, and paid great attention to Yinde, so he agreed to Liu Bin's request and ordered the Yellow Turban Army to surrender.
