Chapter 168: Yanzhou is in chaos, and the storm is sweeping! [Please subscribe and ask for monthly tickets]

Plans cannot keep up with changes.

Although Cao Ang and Diao Chan have a good plan, they are planning to choose a good day and officially bring Dong Bai into the mansion.

But before Diao Chan could make arrangements, a sudden incident directly disrupted the rhythm of the entire Dingtao County and even Yanzhou.

From the northeast of Yanzhou, a huge disaster swept across, which made Cao Ang stay in the military camp for many days and could not find any loopholes to do anything else.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out again!

The prefect of Jiyin County.

Cao Cao sat upright in the main seat, while Cao Ang sat in his left hand position. Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Gong and other civil officials were on the left and right.

And standing in the hall.

It is an envoy from Changyi County, Shanyang County.

It represents Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou.

At this moment, facing the people in charge of the house, the messenger looked anxious and said in a hurry after bowing to everyone.

"Although each county in Yanzhou is one piece, the enemy is coming in a fierce manner this time. He will never retreat with satisfaction after occupying one city and one land. Therefore, everyone will prosper and lose together."

"As the saying goes, there is no end to the eggs under the collapse of the nest. If Shanyang County, Dongping Country and other places are allowed to be captured by the bandits, then Jiyin County led by the envoy will probably be unlucky."

"Before leaving, Liu Fujun was exploring my interests and asked me to tell you word by word. Please see the situation of Yidao Alliance in attacking Dong Zhuo, no matter how you send troops to help!"

After the words were finished.

The envoy bowed to Cao Cao even more.

The request is very important.

However, Cao Cao and others looked at each other but did not immediately respond.

The whole hall fell into silence.

...

Although Liu Dai was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou shortly after, he had extremely weak control over the counties in the prefecture, he would never be weak in the face of ordinary enemies with his elite troops of thousands of troops.

It’s really the enemy that invaded this time is too strong!

Three hundred thousand Yellow Turban Army swept from Qingzhou, sieging cities and sieging villages, destroying cities and counties. I don’t know how many local officials abandoned their officials and fled along the way.

As the Yellow Turban Army continued to hold on like a snowball, the total number of the elderly, weak, women and children was probably over one million.

This is simply a huge astronomical figure for the current battlefield scale.

Although the Yellow Turban Army has always been disorganized and its combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the regular army, a swarm of marching armies like the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which basically relies on ordinary people, has no combat effectiveness at all.

But many ants bite the elephant to death!

Even if there is no effective command, there are no tactics, tactics, formations, or siege equipment. Just relying on flesh and blood to pile up cities and cities by their lives.

in this case.

Liu Dai was naturally a little panicked.

Therefore, he sent an envoy to seek help from the prefects of various counties. In order to challenge Dong's alliance, Cao Xun was naturally more concerned, hoping that the Cao family's father and son could provide help.

To be honest, Cao Cao wanted to agree.

After all, Yanzhou is his foundation. If these Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army were allowed to ruin it, the entire Yanzhou would probably become as tiny as Qingzhou, and Cao Cao himself would suffer the loss.

Plus, just as the messenger said.

Everyone's lips are dead and their teeth are cold.

If the few blocking the front and the county as a barrier are broken, Jiyin County may be unable to hold on.

After hesitating for a moment.

Cao Cao opened his mouth.

Just as I was about to respond to the messenger.

Cao Ang, who was beside him, suddenly spoke suddenly.

"I wonder if you, did Liu Fujun tell you how he is going to deal with these ant thieves?"

"Are you going to stand firm in the city, or are you planning to take the initiative to attack and wipe out the enemy's main force in one go?"

...

As soon as this statement comes out.

Cao Cao was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

Instead, I listened to the messenger's story.

After bowing to Cao Ang, the envoy explained in detail: "To be honest with General Cao, the Lord of the Fu is planning to take the initiative to attack and find the enemy's main force among the many chaotic troops."

"After all, the enemy is now full of power, and it is meaningless to entangle with the people holding hoes and sickles. Only by finding the main force of the central army and completing their contributions in one battle can the ant thief be completely defeated."

"This time, the invitation of all prefects to send troops to help is to join forces to open up a battlefield to fight to the death with the enemy, and then resolve the crisis."

Hearing this.

Cao Cao had no reaction yet.

But Xun's uncle and nephew, Chen Gong, were all eyes flashing in his eyes at this moment.

Cao Ang shook his head slightly.

"We know your purpose. It is the top priority to mobilize troops and horses. We must make plans before we move. Therefore, we need to discuss it. Please go to the guest room for a short rest and have a reply afterwards."

The messenger nodded.

After giving a gift, he slowly retreated.

Wait for this person to leave.

Cao Ang changed his comfortable sitting position and said with a sneer: "Liu Gongshan is really ignorant of life and death. He is actually thinking about finding the main force of the central army from the many chaotic thieves."

"This is not a way to break the enemy, but a way to save your life. It is not like this way to die if you want to die."

Having said that.

Cao Ang turned his gaze to Cao Cao and expressed his attitude straightforwardly: "Father, the child suggests that he find an excuse to refuse this matter later. Never send troops to help Liu Gongshan."

...

Cao Ang's decisive attitude made Cao Cao a little stunned. He didn't expect his son to refuse.

When the envoy made a request, Cao Ang didn't say a word, but since the envoy said that Liu Dai planned to take the initiative, his attitude changed.

Could it be that they oppose taking the initiative?

Cao Cao couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Zi Xiu, why can't you send troops? Is it because you think there is something wrong with Liu Gongshan's plan?"

Cao Ang nodded slightly.

"If you are defending the city, then as long as you prepare well in advance and rely on the stable defense of the city, you will be enough to drag down the ant thief."

"But if you think about it, fighting the enemy with the weak soldiers in your hands is like a dead end!"

These words made Cao Cao frown gently.

He still said in confusion: "The enemy's number is very large. If it is surrounded by heavy siege, ordinary cities will not be enough to defend them."

"If we don't take the initiative to go out of the city, find the main force of the ant thief, fight with it, and make a final contribution to one battle, we may be in a stalemate, and we will be the first one to not be able to hold on!"

Cao Ang waved his hand.

I do not agree with Cao Cao's view.

"The enemy's army has a large number of people, which means that the consumption of food and grass will be far greater than that of us. As long as we have to strengthen our walls and clear the fields, how could we not be able to hold on first?"

"Aside from that, father, have you ever thought about finding the main force of the enemy? Did we just rely on our verbal words and just imagine it and find it?"

"There is only one chance. If you blindly take the initiative to fight but do not find the main force of the enemy, you will eventually fall into a siege. How can you win?"

Cao Ang's words were straightforward.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little silent.

Leaning on the table, he fell into long-term contemplation, and after a long time, he heard him whisper.

"But I heard that General Fenwu Gongsun Zan defeated the Yellow Turban thieves in the county border of Dongguang County a few days ago and killed countless enemies. He took the initiative to attack."

...

When Cao Ang heard this, he was shocked.

After a long time, my father became so radical, and it turned out that he was influenced by Gongsun Zan.

It seems that Liu Dai is most likely one of the victims.
