Chapter 124 Determining the Strategy to Defeat the Thief
Huangfusong personally toasted Liu Ye, and the wounds of his battle were also seen by the generals, so everyone was impressed and admired Liu Ye as a first-class fierce general.
Although Liu Ye looks seriously injured, he has practiced boxing for many years, and his body has a strong self-healing ability. In addition, the doctor gave him golden sore medicine, so he recovered very quickly. The scabs had already formed overnight, and when they fell off in the future, they would be gone. Can't see what's coming.
However, although everyone in the Licheng army was injured, they returned to Changshe City and immediately became heroes that everyone was looking forward to. They also received good treatment, so there were very few injured dead, and most of them survived.
However, after this battle, Liu Ye's troops were completely disabled. Originally, he had a total of 1,000 elite soldiers, half of which were infantry and cavalry, and Cao Cao specially transferred 200 cavalry from the army to him.
Liu Ye burned food and grass, broke Liu's capital and repelled nine attacks by the Yellow Turbans. More than half of the 1,200 people died in battle, and everyone was wounded. There are still more than 570 people left.
However, this battle can be regarded as a battle of eliminating the chaff and saving the essence, and selecting the best from the best. The remaining five hundred people are all fierce soldiers in the army. I dare not say that one counts as ten, but the five hundred people cooperated closely. Thousands of people are no match.
These elite soldiers who have experienced bloody battles will be thrown into a new army in the future.
In the future, Cao Cao will train a tiger and leopard cavalry, known as "the pure governor is the best in the world, or a hundred people will make up for it."
Liu Ye's subordinates are far from being full of hundreds of generals, but they are already rare elite soldiers.
Huangfu Song hosted a banquet for Liu Ye and Xia Houyuan's generals, and naturally the generals under his command also came to accompany him.
However, the dishes are very light. Basically, there are four small bowls in front of each person, two bowls of green vegetables, one bowl of pork, and one bowl of clear yellow millet rice.
As for the wine, the generals couldn't see it at all, only clear water.
Huangfu Song said loudly: "Now is the time of the great war, and we need to be on guard against the Yellow Turbans day and night, so today, gentlemen, we will replace the bar with water."
Liu Ye cupped his hands: "General Lang governs the army with strict laws and regulations, and the last general respects him."
Huangfu Song smiled, but let the generals eat, Liu Ye ate a bucket of grain by himself, after all he was physically strong, and he was bleeding a lot from injuries, so he needed tonic.
He watched Liu Ye finish eating with a smile, and then asked: "Yuqing, according to your opinion, Bocai's food and grass were burned, will he retreat tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Liu Ye shook his head slightly.
"The bandit has a fierce personality, and he is by no means a person who gives up lightly. He may not give up after being burned. Tomorrow, he will be besieged by all his troops."
Huangfusong was very appreciative, but seeing Liu Ye hesitated to speak, he nodded to signal him to continue.
Liu Ye lightly tapped the table in front of him with his fingers: "The food and grass of the Yellow Turban Bandits have been burned, and now they are weak in succession, and they can't last for a few days even after repeated savings. If our army lasts for three days, the bandits will definitely retreat without a fight."
Huangfu Song laughed and said: "This statement is true, but the imperial court's order to this general is to destroy the thieves. If the wave of thieves retreats without a fight, I'm afraid it will be unfulfilled."
Liu Ye stood up: "The general has an idea in his mind, I don't know if it suits the general's mind."
Huangfusong smiled slightly: "Why don't you and I write this word in our hands to see if we are clear-minded."
Liu Ye couldn't help laughing: "This plan is very clever."
After all, soldiers brought ink from the side, and Liu Ye and Huangfusong bowed their heads to write.
Xia Houyuan on the side scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, looked at Yu Jin on the left who was speechless, and shook his head with a paralyzed face. Yu Jin's ability to command battles is indeed extraordinary, but he is like a piece of wood, so don't provoke him.
Xia Houyuan elbowed Guan Hai who was eating meat on the right.
"Boss?"
"What are you doing?"
Guan Hai bit the piece of meat in his mouth and made an indistinct sound.
Xia Houyuan muttered: "What riddles will Liu Junhou and Huangfu Lang play?"
Guan Hai snorted and swallowed the minced meat in his mouth: "I don't know, just follow suit. Anyway, since I have been invincible since I fought against the Marquis, I don't think I even need my brain."
Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is true. Liu Ye has a rough chest, and he led the Licheng army to victorious battles. It is basically useless to follow such a victorious general.
Xia Houyuan frowned, and looked at Liu Ye, Huang Fusong and the two of them.
Liu Ye raised his palm: "General Lang, the last general is finished!"
Huangfusong also raised his palms at the same time, but the two of them were very close, so when they raised their palms, only each other could see them.
Although Xia Houyuan had the eyesight of a sharpshooter, he couldn't see clearly because of the angle, and felt depressed.
As expected, Liu Ye and Huangfusong wrote the same character, and they couldn't help but looked at each other and laughed.
"Hahaha! Within three days, the thief will be destroyed."
The generals looked at the two laughing people without thinking, and felt confused for a while, what are these two people so happy about?
Huangfu Song waved his hand: "Yuqing, you guys go back, cultivate well, and prepare for breaking the thief in a few days."
Liu Ye cupped his hands: "No, I will retire."
After finishing speaking, Liu Ye walked out of the tent, and Xia Houyuan, the third general Yu Jin Guan Hai, hurried out after him.
Guan Hai swaggered behind Liu Ye, and Yu Jin didn't say a word, only Xia Houyuan scratched his head in anxiety.
"Marquis?"
Liu Ye looked back at him: "What?"
Xia Houyuan smiled: "Junhou and General Huangfulang, what kind of riddles are they playing? I can't figure it out."
Liu Ye smiled: "Without him, the best way to break the thief."
Xia Houyuan really wanted to punch Liu Ye, what's the difference between saying it and not saying it? I asked you what you had for lunch, and you said you had lunch, which really whetted your appetite.
Xia Houyuan was impatient and said impatiently: "Junhou, just say it, I promise not to disclose it to the outside world."
Liu Ye frowned: "Really?"
"really!"
"All right."
Liu Ye raised his palm, which was the one that was writing just now. Xia Houyuan opened his eyes and looked, but it was a word of fire.
"Fire attack? But we just burned the food and grass of the Yellow Turban Thieves, will the fire attack work?" Xia Houyuan also learned the art of war systematically, although he has not yet grown into the "tiger step pass right" Cao Wei Guanxi's first heavy general in the future, But it will draw inferences from one instance.
Liu Ye only said one word this time.
"wind."
After all, he kept his mouth shut.
And Xia Houyuan also frowned.
wind?
He seemed to understand something. At this moment, it was getting late autumn, and the autumn wind was bright and clear, but it was a season of dryness and dryness. Many fires occurred in autumn because the weather was dry and the wind helped the fire.
So, it's time to kill and set fire again.
Xia Houyuan rubbed his hands expectantly, and chased after Liu Ye, shouting as he ran.
"Junhou, can I be the main attacker at that time?"
What a Xia Houyuan, he didn't learn anything from Liu Ye, but he learned quickly by killing people and setting fires.
