Chapter 137 Seeking a first-line turnaround with heart

It was really helpless for Huangfusong to use the Han law to suppress Cao Cao's remarks about not killing civilians.He knows that killing is not good, but facing the situation on the battlefield, he cannot tolerate compassion.Saying angry words not to let Cao Cao step into the camp is to find a way for himself. Although Huangfusong was able to calm down and discuss military affairs with everyone, his heart was turned into a ball of fire by Cao Cao. After three glasses of wine at dinner, Huangfusong uttered nonsense, saying that every student who graduated from Taixue was not stubborn, pretentious, self-righteous, conceited, arrogant, and extremely stupid!If the country is to be handed over to them, sooner or later it will perish!

Huang Fusong actually used the law to prevaricate his indiscriminate killing of innocent people.It was only then that Cao Cao realized that his legal awareness was weak. Besides, private affairs on the battlefield were a matter of life and death. Huang Fusong was much more thoughtful in this regard. One general and one handsome quarrel, after all, Huangfusong was the prefect of the Northland, and he knows the truth of loving the people like a son.Not long after, Cao Cao's suggestion was really adopted. In October, Zhang Jiao occupied Guangzong and controlled the hinterland of Hebei. Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo went to suppress and were defeated one after another.

Now that Huangfusong's army has won victory in Dongjun, General He Jin hopes that Huangfusong's Second Route Army will attack Guangzong northward and hit the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army. Cao Cao's Second Route Army made another long-distance attack and marched northward. The soldiers were so tired that they almost vomited blood.Huangfusong resolutely refused to give the troops more time to rest.Time is a fighter, and marching is economics. Originally, the food and grass brought out were only enough to fight against the Yellow Turban Army in Runan. Now they travel 800 miles east to Dongjun, and then travel 800 miles north to Guangzong. Saving time is saving time. food.When the troops are short of food and grass, they can only ask for supplies from themselves.

Only then did Cao Cao understand Huangfusong's real intention of asking He Jin to transfer 5,000 soldiers in spite of all opinions.Saving starts, reducing the pressure on logistics supply, and winning battles with high efficiency with the most effective number of soldiers. Huangfusong used to confront the invading foreign enemies, and often drove straight for hundreds of miles, and it was difficult to guarantee the logistics supply.The only thing that can win is time, and with time, you can master the fighter.He brought his successful experience to this expedition, and he will undoubtedly take the initiative in the war.

The battle was not over yet, and Huangfusong won another honorable title of "Expert in Civil War" in addition to his original title of "Expert in Foreign War". Huangfusong's hasty march, accurate calculation of the cost of the war, well-thought-out plan, and calm command greatly affected Cao Cao.In future wars, except for the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao never fought more than 40,000 people. There are many examples of Cao Cao's army winning more with fewer troops. Among them, Sun Quan led 10,000 troops to attack Hefei, while Li Dian led only 700 troops to garrison the defense line from Tuzhong in the east to Anfeng in the west for five or six hundred miles.

It can be seen that Cao Cao pays attention to elite and strong soldiers when using soldiers. Before reaching Guangzong, the Eastern Front troops of the Second Route Army encountered Zhang Jiao and died of illness.The Yellow Turban Army lost its coach and its morale plummeted.Huangfusong took advantage of the situation and suddenly launched a night attack, and the rebels rushed to fight. Zhang Liang and other generals and 30,000 soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were killed in battle. His younger brother Zhang Liang took up the important task of guarding Guangzong.Huangfusong failed to attack the city, so he closed the camp to see the changes.

It was inconvenient for Cao Cao to go to Daying to meet Huangfusong, so he packed a kit with a proposal and asked Sun Jian to present it to him.Cao Cao's plan to attack at night was adopted by Huangfusong.Zhang Liang and others thought that the Second Route Army had run a long distance and was exhausted, and that they had no strength to attack the city again in a short time, so they relaxed their vigilance.Huangfusong immediately dispatched troops at night, and rushed into the camp of the Yellow Turbans when the cock crowed. The Yellow Turban Army woke up again from their dreams and hastily fought.

In this battle, Zhang Liang, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, died in battle. More than 30,000 people died in battle, and more than 50,000 died by throwing themselves into the river.Huangfusong burned more than 30,000 yellow scarf carts, and "dissected Zhang Jiao's coffin and poked his body, and passed it on to the capital".The Yellow Turban Army all over the world was shocked by it, crying and offering sacrifices to Zhang Jiao.Swear to stick to the base camp, take the opportunity to counterattack, and avenge the commander Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang brothers. Lu Zhi led his army to besiege Guangzong for three months, but he was unable to conquer the city.Liu Hong reassigned Dong Zhonglang to replace Lu Zhi with Dong Zhuo, who was also defeated by Zhang Jiao in Quyang.

The situation was critical, Liu Hong and all the eunuchs bet all the treasures of judgment on the Second Route Army.Can the Second Route Army, which has been fighting for more than half a year with poor people and horses, continue to break through?
