Chapter 356 (1/2)
Yanzhou, Dongjun, Puyang.
Since ancient times, the central plains are the most affluent, and Yanzhou is a part of the Central Plains. Even after the Yellow turban rebellion, it is still densely populated and has large cities.
As the capital of Yanzhou, Puyang is the center of Puyang, where Liu Dai's governor's office is.
The officers of the governor's office came and went, and everyone was nervous. Obviously, the news that the Yellow turban thieves of Qingzhou had invaded from Taishan county had already been introduced into the governor's office. Therefore, both the civil servants and the bodyguards were dignified.
”Baoxin, the Prime Minister of Jibei, has arrived!”
At the gate of the governor's office, a large number of men suddenly poured in. More than ten people, surrounded by a general with full-length clothes, big ears and bright eyes, marched into the governor's office.
”Liu Yanzhou, Hebei Prime Minister Bao Xin, please see you!”
”Come in.” There was a weak voice coming from the governor's office. After hearing the response, Bao Xin immediately went in.
Only a small number of people were found in the hall of the governor's office. The person in the main seat was wearing royal clothes, fat head and big ears, and fair skin. Obviously, the living conditions were good. However, from the clothes and high crown, it can be seen that this person was the governor of Yanzhou, the patriarch of the Han Dynasty, Liu Dai.
Among all the people present, one of them has attracted people's attention. He is more than eight feet tall. Bao Xin, who is seven feet long, is powerful, but he is still a head shorter than this one.
It is worth mentioning that the eight foot tall man was actually a scholar of letters, not a military general. Even Bao Xin was a pity. If such talents were to attack the front, it would be a good general.
But Bao Xin didn't dare to make a mistake. He was a famous man in Taishan county.
”Liu Yanzhou, Mr. Zhongde.” Bauhin comes forward to do boxing.
”General Bao.” Cheng Yu, who is more than eight feet tall, salutes Bao Xin and then looks at Liu Dai.
”Liu Yanzhou, the Yellow turban bandits came fiercely and fiercely. Although our army is well-equipped, but the number is small. If we go out of the city and fight with them fiercely, the consequences will be unimaginable.” Cheng Yu admonished Liu Dai.
Liu Dai nodded: ”well, there is some truth in Mr. Zhongde's words...
” that's not true! ” Bao Xin said in a hurry, ”Liu Yanzhou, yellow scarf thief, thief also! Since ancient times, there is no reason why officers and soldiers are afraid of thieves and soldiers? Is this not to make people laugh at Liu Yanzhou for being afraid of the Yellow turban thief? ”
Liu Dai's eyebrows wrinkled when he heard the speech: ”this...
” Liu Yanzhou! Although the Yellow turban bandits are numerous in number, their food and forage consumption must be quite large every day. Our army does not have to fight with them at all. We only need to move the residents outside the city into the city and clear up the country, so that the thief army can not get food and grass supplies. If the Yellow turban thieves want to get food and grass, they must gather a large army to besiege the strong city. Although the number of the bandits is large, they lack the equipment to attack the city. They can't go down for a long time, but their consumption of food and grass is increasing day by day. Why should they go out of the city to fight in the field Cheng Yu is a bitter woman.
It should be said that Cheng Yu's view is very reasonable. Although the Yellow turban thieves are numerous, they are not good at tackling difficulties. As long as they stick to it for a period of time, the Yellow turban thieves will inevitably retreat.
”When the Yellow turban bandits retreat, our army will pursue them with their tails in their heads and set up ambushes. The morale of the thieves' army will be exhausted, and our army will be able to break it.”
Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Liu Dai is a little shaken. Bao Xin sees Liu Dai's expression and opens his mouth in a hurry.
”Hum! Even if there are millions of bandits, what can they do? Twenty thousand troops under a certain command are all excellent teachers. They all regard one as ten. I am willing to make a military order. If you can't win, please cut off some head! ”
Bao Xin was so resolute that he even put his head out as a bet.
Liu Dai's face was strange: ”Baoxin, you really dare to make a military order!”
No, Liu Yanzhou wants to believe him.
Cheng Yu looks anxious: ”Liu Yanzhou, can't go to war!”
Liu Dai's face was not worried: ”Mr. Zhongde, stop talking. General Bao is loyal to serve the country. How can someone refuse?”
