Chapter 22

Liu Ye waved his hand: "it doesn't matter. Today I wait for our victory to return. If they don't leave, they will have to find a way to punish them."

Wu De rubbed his hands: "what the elder brother said is very true. These thieves are afraid of the thieves. How can you know his bravery?"

Tan Xingxi fought. Wang Zhen was jealous of himself. Staying in the cities was a factor of instability. Now they left on their own. Instead, they reflected on Liu Ye's actions. Instead, all the people in the city are united. Today's Licheng is a piece of iron. The only thing to worry about is that there are less than a thousand defenders in the city. Although Liu Ye is brave, he is at most an enemy of hundreds If the ten thousand yellow turban thieves rush in, he will be drowned in the sea of people's war.

Liu Ye thinks hard in his heart. He sees a sentry riding at a gallop from afar. He rushes to the head of the city in one breath and shouts at the head of the city: "brother Liu, the Yellow turban thief has retreated for thirty miles and has not left."

Liu Ye hastily ordered the sentry to ride up to the head of the city and asked in detail, "did the thief ever set down the camp, or did he sit on the ground?" If they set up a camp, it means that the Yellow turban thieves are not determined to attack the city. If they sit on the ground, it means that they have no idea to fight Licheng.

The sentry Qi gasped: "the thieves set up camp and arranged for people to cut wood to make a ladder. It seems that they have not given up their mind."

Liu Ye's face is solemn, but after a while, the other three sentinels also rush back one after another. The Yellow turban thief left a military horse to guard the camp, and divided thousands of people and horses to occupy the four fields and collect food and grass. It seems that they are going to finish with themselves.

Relying on his bravery and resourcefulness, although he has won the Yellow turban in a row, the morale of the soldiers in the city is high, but after all, he suffers from the shortage of manpower. Liu Ye gives a little thought and orders Zhao et al. To write two letters, the letter states that the county magistrate song he and the county captain Sun Chang are killed by the Yellow turban thieves. He has no choice but to lead the army to fight against the Yellow turban bandits, hoping that reinforcements will come soon.

The two letters were carried by two sentinels and sent to Yangqiu and informed respectively. After all, if Licheng was captured, the Yellow turban thieves with a strong appetite would not be able to stop at this point. At that time, none of the twelve counties under the jurisdiction of Jinan could run away.

Two sentinels galloped out, while Liu Ye ordered the craftsmen in the city to speed up the manufacture of arrows, and the soldiers practiced strictly. There was no shortage of food and grass in the city. At this time, most of the garrison in the city was scattered. Therefore, the soldiers under his command were more satisfied with the elder brother.

Fenggao county.

"Do you think Liu Yuqing killed the bandit army generals successively, and killed Zhou Jun, commander-in-chief of the yellow scarf, and burned up the food and grass of the bandits' army at night?"

Fenggao county magistrate looked at the sentry under the hall with doubts.

The sentry, accompanied by Liu Ye, went out to defeat the enemy. He had a strong spirit. He said in a loud voice: "it is true. Brother Liu is invincible. I used to follow him to defeat the enemy. I witnessed him hanging the head of the thief on his waist. All the thieves were afraid of him."

Fenggao county magistrate gently shook his head, chuckled, and threw the paper out. The light floating paper fell on the ground.

"I'm afraid that Liu Yuqing is just a loafer. Even though he has some courage to help defend the city, song Dongguan and Sun Chang are both killed by thieves. Can he still save the city?"

The more fenggao county magistrate said, the more convinced he was: "I think Licheng has fallen! Liu Ye has been a thief for a long time, but now he is deceiving me with letters. Once Gao Shoujun is out of the city, he will lead the bandits to earn our city. Today, spare your life and go back quickly! "

The sentry was surprised: "brother Liu has done a good job in breaking the thief. How can he be a thief?"

Fenggao county magistrate did not allow him to do more, and immediately ordered him to drive him out.

Fenggao county magistrate thought: there are tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves. Even if Liu Yuqing really keeps Licheng, he is afraid that he will be struggling. Otherwise, how could he ask me for help? The Yellow turban thieves are very powerful. Now they only have to defend the city to wait for Wang Shi. It is a great achievement to keep fenggao county. If you go out of the city to rescue Licheng, if the Yellow turban thief takes advantage of the city, will it not be a big crime?

Since the Yellow turban army of Taiping Road Rose, it has been able to win invincible, sweeping the eight prefectures and gathering millions of people. It is precisely because of this that the garrison in various places only knows how to protect themselves, but not to help their colleagues. As a result, some cities were broken, and the Yellow turban thieves went into the city and opened their arsenals to obtain armour. They opened their official warehouses to distribute grain and brought young people into the army. After their strength was greatly increased, they attacked the cities before, and they really got stronger and stronger.

The sentry had no choice but to urge his horse to run back to Licheng and report the festival to Liu Ye. After a short time, the sentry who was ordered to go to Yangqiu also failed. The magistrate of Yangqiu did not frame Liu Ye from the thieves as he did in Gao county. He only said that the city was weak in defense and could not leave the city because he had enough self-protection.

Wu De was the most irascible. He immediately complained: "no wonder the Yellow turban thieves want to rebel. These officials cherish their lives like gold. It's really not enough to kill them."

Liu Ye frowns, thinking that it will be a bit difficult to deal with. There is no foreign reinforcements, and there are only a few hundred people who can fight in the cities. Even if they are guarding the city, there are more than 20000 yellow turban thieves.

According to Sun Tzu's art of war, ten encirclement means that a force of ten times is basically a victory. Although the Yellow turban bandits are weak and have been killed thousands of people, their strength is more than 20 times that of the cities! In other words, if ten yellow turban thieves were killed and one garrison in Licheng was killed, it would be a loss.Although there is no wind in the hall, the lights are flashing, reflecting Liu Ye's face. Let alone him, even Zhang Jiao, who is known as a great virtuous teacher, at most is to make several bowls of runes to cure people. It is impossible for him to really have the unique skill of becoming a soldier.

Seeing that Liu Ye's two eyebrows were almost connected, Wude immediately said in a voice of consolation: "don't worry, brother. There are 20000 fathers in every city. After the city is broken, they are all trapped in the hands of thieves. Twenty thousand fathers will surely be ruined. They are certainly willing to do their best to help defend the city."

Liu Ye nods slightly. Fortunately, the Yellow scarves have no siege vehicles, only a few simple ladders. Otherwise, Licheng will not be able to defend.

"There is not one grain left for the bandits. Although we sent troops to attack the four fields, we got nothing but a drop in the bucket. We will hold on to the city, and we will certainly retreat when we are going to run out of food and grass." Zhao and others on the side said.

Liu Ye shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "you only know one, but you don't know the other. If the bandits run out of food and fodder, they will put all their eggs in one basket, but they will also have to break down the cities to obtain grain and rice. At that time, people's lives will be filled in. "

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Allied forces of the princes fought fiercely with the Qin army in Julu. The armies did not dare to move forward. Xiang Yu led the Chu soldiers to the bottom of the boat and took only three days of food and grass. As a result, the nine battles and nine victories defeated a full 200000 Qin army.
