The Heishan Army has not developed smoothly in recent years. It is barely okay to hide in the mountains. When they leave the mountain, they are beaten by Zhu Jun, then by Han Fu and Cao Cao, and now they are beaten by Yuan’s father and son. Yuan Shao even attacked Heishan, which is dangerous to their nests. They are very desperate. Suddenly, they heard that they have not only the chance to win the battle, but also the chance to be generals. Their first reaction is not happiness, but suspicion.

Zhang Fang was unhappy when he was stared at by pairs of suspicious eyes.

"Do you know who is fighting Cao Ang outside the city?"

Yu Du and others shook their heads. They were in the city, and they didn't know what was going on outside the city, but only knew that Cao Ang was in the west of the city. This kid was Cao Cao's son. Although he was young, he fought well and was very good. They could see it on the top of the city, but he was better than them anyway.

"It's Gong Du, Gong Du of Runan Yellow Turbans. If you don't believe it, ask Wulu and Wulu, you say something."

Wulu nodded. "Gong Du is highly valued under General Sun. General Sun was unwilling to save us, but Gong Du pleaded for us."

Everyone looked at each other. They knew Gong Du, the most inconspicuous one of the Yellow Turbans of Runan. They didn't expect that he was so valued by Sun Ce and could still tie Cao Ang. Is it really like Zhang Fang's saying that Sun Ce can turn stones into gold and turn decay into magic? Although this sounds a bit unreliable, thinking about Sun Ce's strong record, it seems that it is not as simple as talking nonsense.

Seeing that everyone was shocked, Zhang Fang became even more energetic and said something he saw and even heard, which made Yu Du and others excited. No one was born to be a loser. They were not ordinary soldiers. Joining the Yellow Turban was not only for food and clothing, but also for making achievements and becoming a marquis and generals. However, he fought too badly over the years and saw no hope, so no one mentioned it.

Suddenly, hope appeared again, how could you not be moved?

Yu Du and Kuqiu discussed it and decided to accept Sun Ce's plan.

——

Liu Biao hurriedly climbed to the ranks of the central army and looked out at the top of Junyi's city.

The flags at the top of the city were changed, and soldiers were mobilized frequently, especially Yu Du's battle flag appeared at the North Gate, which made Liu Biao very worried. Yu Du was one of the two commanders of this Black Mountain Army. His sudden appearance at the North Gate should indicate that the Black Mountain Army might have chosen the North Gate as the breakout location.

After Yuan Tan took away 10,000 main forces, there were still 10,000 people in the central army, but their combat effectiveness was average, especially the lack of cavalry. If Sun Ce used elite infantry tore open his defense line and then attacked with cavalry, he would face a disaster of overthrow.

What's more, there are 20,000 Black Mountain troops behind him who are eager to break out. Once they are poured out of Junyi City, the number of people alone is enough to impulse his camp.

"Xiaoxian, do you have any tricks to solve the current predicament?" Liu Biao frowned, turned around and looked at Mao Jie, and bowed.

Mao Jie was silent.

"Xiaoxian, when is it now, don't hide it anymore."

Mao Jie smiled wryly and shook his head. "Do I dare to hide anything during the governance? It's just that I'm not my best. You should ask Zhu Wenbo and Cheng Zhongde for such a thing. They will definitely give you the most appropriate advice. Even Cao Zixiu is better than me. Why should I give up pearls and jade and put on tiles and wood in the governance?"

Liu Biao spread his hands and looked helpless. "I know Zhu Wenbo is good at using troops, but when others are in the south of the city, they will not be separated from each other. Cheng Zhongde also has the ability to make decisions, but his temper... Do you think he can talk to me well? As for Cao Zixiu, forget it. He is too young and has little experience in battle formations, so I am afraid he won't have any good ideas."

Liu Biao was very distressed. He really didn't want to deal with Cheng Yu. He had a bad temper, but just now there was a division because of Sun Ce's possible breakthrough point. Cheng Yu didn't know what he was talking about now. At this time, he asked Cheng Yu for advice, and there was definitely nothing good to say. Instead of looking for Cheng Yu, it would be better to go find Zhu Ling.

"Why... please don't ask Cheng Zhongde?" Mao Jie said tentatively.

Liu Biao looked at Mao Jie, nodded helplessly, and turned to Wang Yu again. "Don't let me go. Please don't let me convey to Zhongde. I will be injured. I will accept the order in the face of danger. Please ask him to help me and not fight for my will."

Wang Yu agreed and hurriedly left. Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and asked Mao Jie to go to Zhu Ling's camp and meet Cao Ang by the way. If Sun Ce attacked his camp and met Heishan Army from the north gate, he would also need reinforcements from Cao Ang and Cheng Yu, and he would say hello in advance.

After all, he was not the governor of Yanzhou, and none of these people were his subordinates. If he wanted to command them, he had to lower his posture and beg them.

Yuan Tan was hurt, it was really not the time.

——

Cheng Yu was patrolling the camp. When he heard that Wang Yu was coming, he hurried back to the central army tent. Wang Yu said Liu Biao's concerns and tactfully suggested that Cheng Yu pay attention to his relationship with his colleagues and not be too voluntarily. There are many famous scholars around Yuan Tan. Offending one person means offending a group of people, which is very unfavorable to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu was very unhappy, but he didn't say anything. Wang Yu was his recommender, and the relationship between the two has always been good. Besides, he himself knew that Wang Yu was right, but he just couldn't stand the famous scholars and could not do anything except flatter each other.

"In my opinion, this black bandit can't be kept." Cheng Yu said patiently: "At the time when he surrounded Junyi City, it was not for the black bandits, but for the severe damage to Zhu Ye and Sun Ce. Now Sun Ce has been injured, and his purpose has been achieved. It is better to let the black bandits leave the city and then concentrate their troops to chase them and defeat them in the field. Although the black bandits have a large number of black bandits, their combat power is low and they are very easy to defeat, which is a weak point that can be exploited."

Wang Yu thought this plan was good. The most troublesome thing at the moment was the shortage of troops. In order to deal with Sun Ce, Yuan Tan mobilized more than 20,000 people. Even if Jiang Qi's 10,000 people were transferred from Junyi City. Now there are less than 30,000 people outside Junyi City, so it is indeed not enough to prevent Zhu Yan and the Black Mountain bandits in the city. If the Black Mountain bandits are allowed to leave the city and concentrate their troops to pursue them, the problem of shortage of troops can be solved and Junyi can be quickly recovered.

But the problem is not without it. Letting the black bandits leave the city and then pursue them in the field is contrary to Yuan Tan's order. Will Liu Biao dare to take this responsibility? "Zhongde, this plan is good, but it is different from the envoy's plan."

"If you are outside, you will not accept the orders of the king. How can you stick to the old ways and stick to the plan?" Cheng Yu's voice became louder. "If I had listened to my advice and sent someone to intercept Sun Ce, maybe even Liu Bei would not surrender, and Jiang Qi would not have been killed. How could he be troubled by insufficient troops? At this point, I still want to surround the Black Mountain bandits. Isn't it a bit of a dream?"

Wang Yu looked at Cheng Yu awkwardly. "Zhongde, look, it's coming again. You even criticize the envoy? The envoy trusts you very much. Although he was late for a long time, didn't he go in the end? Do you know what kind of risks he took for this?"

Cheng Yu sighed and glanced at Wang Yu sideways. "I have another plan, I'm afraid he won't dare to use it."

"What plan?"

"Call the elites overnight and take the initiative to fight Sun Ce."

Wang Yu smacked his lips and smiled helplessly. The plan is a good plan, but as Cheng Yu said, does Liu Biao dare to use it? He was already scared by Sun Ce and had no confidence in defending the camp, let alone taking the initiative to fight Sun Ce.

"Zhongde, you are not very lucky this time. The only one who can use you, the only one who dares to use you."
