Chapter 95 Dilemma
The heads of various powerful families gathered in Xinyang to welcome the arrival of the main force of the Yuan army.
Facing a truckload of food, grass and wealth, Yuan Yao naturally accepted it on his own.
The people around the neighborhood also spontaneously gathered on both sides to welcome the arrival of the king.
Because Yuan Yao ordered people to make a special sound, almost most of the people in Rudong have known that the reason why the powerful are willing to provide such a huge amount of money and grain relief is entirely due to Mr. Yuan's efforts.
If there was no gentleman's kindness, how could they have the blessing of today?
Therefore, for Yuan Yao's troops to arrive, these people who are powerless and powerless are naturally competing to support each other.
This scene was very unhappy in the eyes of the heads of the family.
Why?
Why are all the money and food I have paid for? The people who are in a position to support Yuan Yao?
What did he, Yuan Yao, come out?
Nothing is given, but I just enjoy the people's expectations?
Isn’t this a typical “small wolf with nothing?”
But now they can't get into this situation, they can only endure it.
But they had already remembered this matter silently in their hearts.
Bear with it first!
After the Yellow Turbans were pacified, the local counties were still monopolized by them.
By then, these people will definitely vomit back.
Thinking about this secretly, on the surface, he still looked happy and bowed in unison:
"We are waiting to welcome the arrival of the young master!"
"Don't give me a gift."
"The next rebellion is subject to depend on the heads of the family."
After a while, Yuan Yao also smiled and modestly.
Anyway, he has taken advantage of it, so it is nothing wrong to be polite with these people.
Greetings.
Yuan Yao then took away the heads of the family and returned, summoned the armed forces from his family to come and expel the Yellow Turbans together.
He also used Xinyang as the grain storage location, storing hundreds of thousands of wealth and grain in the treasury, and ordered Zhou Tai to lead the army to guard the garrison and assist Cui Zhouping.
He personally led the main force to join the army with Jiang Gan and Huang Zhong as the front line, and went to the front line.
Every battle passed by.
He easily recovered several towns led by Ruyin, and then took over Ruyin and the governor's subsequent war.
The successive defeats and the continuous relief of local tyrants to the people also brought the Yellow Turbans a sharp turn of defeat.
It is no longer optimistic!
Recently, Yuan Yao persuaded all the wealthy families to spend 500,000 yuan in money and 50,000 stone of grain to help the villagers has gradually spread, and his reputation has also risen to a higher level, making the people more trust and favor.
Naturally, when Yuan's army arrived at the city, it was already a situation where the people had already opened the city and surrendered.
Then the people who supported the Yellow Turban returned to the banner of Yuan army as if they had lost their way.
When Yuan Yao led the main force to achieve such an advantage and the troops were approaching Ruyin City, Zhang Xun on the other side was not showing any weakness, leading the side troops to conquer the towns connecting the major mountain passes one after another.
In a short period of time, the main force of the Yellow Turban was trapped in the Zhanghuatai area near Chengfu. Due to the blockage of the road entering the mountain, a large amount of plundered money and grain were hoarded in Ruyin City.
But now it is also surrounded by the main force of Yuan’s army, which has nearly 10,000 people.
The Yellow Turban Army once fell into a dilemma.
After a brief discussion.
Liu Pi and Gong Du decided to send troops back to defend Ruyin quickly, in order to launch a tug-of-war with the enemy as a stronghold to delay the time, so that the world can change in time.
But with Jiang Gan's adviser beside Yuan Yao, how could he not see the Yellow Turban tricks?
At this point, Yuan Yao ordered his troops to dig trenches outside the city to cut off the connection between inside and outside the city and isolate the entire city. Then he ordered Zhang Xiu's troops to support the Yellow Turbans.
Not only that, at this moment, the wealthy families of various families are also doing their best to eliminate the Yellow Turban Rebellion as soon as possible, and paying money and food to contribute to people.
Each family brought nearly 2,000 armed forces by the heads of each family.
At this moment, Yuan Jun's strength increased sharply, reaching more than 30,000.
In terms of military strength, it has the upper hand.
With strong strength, facing the sudden attack of the Yellow Turbans, Yuan Yao's strategy of dealing with it is naturally unique.
He directly led his troops to set up a formation directly in the outskirts of Ruyin City to fight against the Yellow Turbans.
The two armies fought.
Huang Zhong swung his sword between the formation and rushed left and right, as if he had entered a state of no one, and there was no enemy in the enemy's slightest.
A group of Yellow Turban soldiers were chopped off and dropped off.
Soon, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army fell into a sluggish state and was unable to withstand the large-scale impact of the Yuan army.
In fact, Yuan Jun’s overall combat power is too strong, and the Yellow Turban is hard to compete with at all.
After a while of defeat, Liu Pi and Gong had to strictly order the troops to retreat temporarily to set up camp to confront them in order to seek an opportunity to defeat the enemy.
After suffering a setback, the camp was in silence and no one responded.
After a long silence, Liu Bi said to himself: "There is now that Yuan's army has many troops, far more than our army, and its combat power is extremely strong. Such tough battles are already difficult to compete."
"The current plan may be to write a letter to the Zhoucang army in the eastern suburbs of Pingyu, and to lead the army to aid and attack the flanks of Yuan's army to cooperate with our army to defeat the enemy and regain the initiative in combat."
After a while, one of the coaches of Qu couldn't help but replied with some concern: "But Zhou Cang's command is only two or three thousand military forces. Even if he can come, what's the use?"
"The Yuan army now has more than 30,000 people."
Some words can also express the worries of the crowd in the camp.
After saying that, Liu Pi showed an uplifting expression on his face, in an attempt to motivate everyone, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, Ruyin is an important town for us to hoard money and grain. If we do not retake it, just relying on the few days of military ration left in our army, plus the road to the mountain has been cut off, how many days can we hold on?"
"Now, the only way out for our army is to expel Yuan's army from outside the city, enter the city to defend the city, and maintain the situation in exchange for the world has changed. This is the only way out for our army."
Liu Bi explained in a word.
The worries and anxiety in his heart were invisible to him.
He knew very well that if he could not defend Ruyin, then there was only one way waiting for them, trapped here and waited for death.
Although no one thinks that Zhou Cang's little force can have any impact on the battle situation, now he can only rely on him.
...
Three days later.
Yellow Turban Camp.
Zhou Cang successfully received the letter written by Liu Pi. When he hurriedly read the contents of the letter, he looked happy in his heart.
He was already extremely excited about the choice he made at the time.
They did not blindly follow Liu Pi, Gong Du and others raised an army to rebel.
Otherwise, he would be in crisis now.
But looking at the current situation, Zhou Cang was even more grateful that he had decided to submit to Yuan's family.
He didn't expect that Yuan Yao could be so cunning and skillful.
It was just that he used the strategy of attacking the heart, and before he could fight, the Yellow Turban soldiers turned against each other. He did not need a soldier, and he completely took the initiative in the war.
