Chapter 43: The first encounter with Cao Cao(1/2)

Huangfu Song's 30,000 army was besieged outside Wancheng City for more than two months, and Yang Fan's army arrived.

"Blog, you really made us wait so hard!"

After introducing each other outside the camp, Huangfu Song took the lead and said with a smile.

"General Huangfu is the mainstay of our Han Dynasty. Fan led his troops to come this time, so he decided to follow the general's order."

Yang Fan is a junior, so he naturally gave Huangfu Song enough face.

"Bowen is polite. I have been besieging Wancheng for several months and have not yet come up with a plan to defeat the enemy. This time, I have to rely on the ability of my blog to come!"

As everyone talked, they came to the central army's tent.

"Fan is just here and knows nothing about the matter here. Please give Fan some time. Three days later we will gather in the big tent to discuss the destruction of the thief. I wonder what the general wants?"

Several black lines suddenly appeared on Yang Fan's forehead and said.

"Look, it's all my fault. I've let Bowen laugh. OK, Bowen will set up camp first and rest for a while. It's not too late for us to discuss it in the future."

Huangfu Song quickly smiled awkwardly.

"In this way, Fan will leave for the time being."

Yang Fan was exhausted all the way, and at this moment he just wanted to have a good sleep.

Three days later, Huangfu Song summoned the generals to discuss matters again.

"Blog, have you had enough rest?"

After everyone sat down, Huangfu Song took the lead in asking.

"Thank you for your understanding, General. I have also learned about the environment sails near Wancheng these days."

Yang Fan responded immediately.

"Oh? Does the blog post have a strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Huangfu Song has been under too much pressure these days. The Yuan family wrote to Liu Hong every day, and Liu Hong also urged him three times a day to five times a day, which made our old general lose his food and his head turned pale.

"This is Fan's military advisor, and he can speak for you."

Yang Fan reached out to point to Xi Zhong behind him, and then smiled.

"Please also let me say it clearly, let me listen carefully."

Huangfu Song was slightly stunned and thought to himself how Yang Fan could let such a young scholar come out, just because Yang Fan was at the same level as him and it was not easy to have an attack at the moment, and then he smiled.

"Good everyone, General Huangfu is safe. Zhong and our lord have been checking the geographical environment around Wancheng these days. We have developed three strategies to defeat the enemy. The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting. Our army only needs to besiege the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Wancheng for several months, and they will be defeated without fighting."

After hearing this, Xi Zhong went out of the way and came to the middle of the tent and said.

"How many months have these few months? Even if our family can wait, the emperor can't wait."

As the governor, Zuo Feng took the lead in denying this policy.

"The strategy is for our army to dig a tunnel from outside the city to lead the city directly. The elite soldiers and generals open the city gate from inside the city. At that time, the enemy can break it, but the art of digging takes a long time."

As if Zuo Feng didn't hear Zuo Feng's words, Xi Zhongquan continued to say the second plan.

"Yes, this plan is feasible"

Huangfu Song thought for a while and then expressed his words to agree.

"No, no, the digging of the soil is too slow. How many days will it take? If you hold the elite of my great man in your hand, can't you attack the city in one go?"

After hearing this, Zuo Feng shook his head into a rattle and said.

"Third, lure the enemy out of the city and let them fight us in the wild. However, this group of Yellow Turban bandits must have been scared by General Huangfu and would not leave the city easily."

Xi Zhong then told the third plan, but in fact he was not optimistic about this third one.

"You are sour and maota, won't you let the army attack the city directly?"

Zuo Feng was not familiar with military affairs and said such nonsense, but everyone in the field did not dare to laugh at him. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, but Zuo Feng is a real villain.

“How do you read the blog post?”

Huangfu Song directly ignored Zuo Feng's opinion and asked Yang Fan.

"Since the emperor is anxious about the war here, I think it's better to choose the second one and be more secure."

Yang Fan also felt that using the method of digging the soil is the best way at present.

“I think it works.”

Zhu Jun also agreed immediately.

"Where are you?"

Huangfu Songyou asked for the opinions of others.

"We also think this plan is feasible."

The three big men in the army all expressed their opinions, so the others naturally would not refute and responded immediately.

"What? You don't take our family seriously, right?"

Seeing that everyone ignored him, Zuo Feng suddenly spoke out and browned his presence.

"Don't be anxious at the left governor, just listen to my words."

Huangfu Song suddenly felt a headache. Look, everyone ignores you, are you still shut up?

"Okay, then let's listen carefully. If you can't convince our family, then our family will get a copy of yourselves in front of the emperor and punish you for being unfavorable in the war."

Seeing Huangfu Song paying attention to him, Zuo Feng immediately said with a slight sting.

"Our army plus Yang Zhonglang's command is only 80,000 or 90,000 people, and at least 200,000 Yellow Turban bandits in Wancheng. The ancient method says that ten people will attack them. Besides, the number of our soldiers is not half of them. How can we attack the city? If a forced attack leads to the Yellow Turban bandits breaking through successfully, and thus causing disaster to all sides, who will bear the responsibility? Are you responsible? Left Governor?"

Huangfu Song was furious and then said viciously with a suppressed temperament.

"This...this...this...this will be done according to General Huangfu's wishes."

Zuo Feng would not take this responsibility, so he had to take advantage of the situation and stop talking.

"When digging the soil, our army can work together and order people to beat drums outside the city day and night to challenge, disperse their energy, and achieve twice the result with half the effort."

At this time, Yang Fan added a little.

"Well, according to Yang Zhonglang's intention, Meng De, Wentai."

Huangfu Song was happy when he heard this and hurriedly said to Cao Cao and Sun Jian.

"The last one will be there."

The two of them quickly stood up and responded.

"Meng De and Wentai went to the outside of the city to challenge each day during the black day. The time was arranged by themselves. I only asked one thing, that is, the Yellow Turban bandits in the city could hear your verbal war at any time."

Huangfu Song immediately ordered.

"promise!"

The two immediately took the order and left.

Yang Fan naturally paid a little attention to Cao Cao, who was short and a bit black and fat, and Sun Jian, who was tall and burly, but neither of them took the initiative to talk to him, so he couldn't go to make friends rashly, so as not to fall behind and make people laugh.

In ancient times, local work was the most troublesome. It took Huangfu Song half a month to open up the tunnel.

On this day, Huangfu Song summoned all the generals to discuss matters in the central army's tent.

"Now that the tunnel is open, I wonder who wants to enter the city to open the city gate for our army? Is this unparalleled contribution?"

Huangfu Song swept the generals around and said.

"I'm willing to go!"

Everyone in the field looked at me and looked at you. After a long time, only Sun Jian was there, and Cao Cao stood up to ask for his order.

"Okay, then Wentai and Meng De go together. It is not easy to bring more soldiers this time. I think three hundred is just right."

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun and Yang Fan discussed for a while and finally ordered.

"promise!"

The two generals were overjoyed when they heard this and immediately received the order.

"Governor Xu Qi can lead the troops from Jingzhou to guard the east gate, and the north gate of Wancheng and the west gate of Wancheng are handed over to Bowen. How about it?"

Huangfu Song then arranged tasks for Xu Yan and Yang Fan.

"I will not allow the Yellow Turban bandits to escape from the East Gate."

Xu Yan immediately stated that the power of this tent was chaotic, with Huangfu Song's Central Army, Xu Yan's own Jingzhou Army, and Yang Fan's Bingzhou Army. Naturally, he would not admit his cowards in front of outsiders.

"The general doesn't have three sieges and one siege?"

During this period, Yang Fan really made up for the military and published famous works, and immediately asked.

"I will try to wipe out this wave of bandits."

Huangfu Song was forced to do nothing, but Zuo Feng was watching from the side and accidentally told him.

"Oh, let me leave the North Gate and West Gate, please don't worry, General."
