"Retreat. I want to hear your opinion on the matter of Liu Bei being shot.”
Hearing Lu Zhi's words, Dong Song turned to look at Liu Bei.
He saw Liu Bei sitting on a wooden chair with his eyes slightly closed.
The wound on Liu Bei's leg had already been bandaged and did not seem to be a problem.
"This black arrow is indeed in General Xia Hou's possession. I believe that General Xia Hou cannot deny this!”
"The arrow was indeed mine, but I only shot one arrow on the roof, and this arrow hit the chief of a Yellow Turban thief.”
"Bullshit!"
"You're the one who's farting!"
Seeing that Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei were about to quarrel again, Lu Zhi quickly glared at them." Both of you shut up."”
After Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan shut their mouths, Dong Song continued,""General Lu, one of them must have lied about this matter. It's not easy for this general to judge.”
"It's the three brothers who are talking. They're jealous that I'm able to shoot through a tree with a hundred steps.”
"Xiahou Yuan is lying."
"Enough!"
Lu Zhi roared again," I will investigate this matter thoroughly. For now, we will put this matter on hold. We will discuss it again after we defeat Zhang Bao.”
Lu Zhi waved his hand, signaling for everyone to leave and for Dong Song to stay.
"Retreat. Do you have any good ideas about attacking Qu Yang?”
Hearing Lu Zhi's words, Dong Song walked up to the map.
After staring at the map for a moment, Dong Song said,"If we want to take down Qu Yang, there is only one way.”
"What is it?"
"Drag!"
"Stall?"
"That's right, stall for time. After General Huangfu takes down Guangzong, we will attack Quyang from the north and south with General Huangfu. In this way, even if there are 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in Quyang, they will definitely be defeated.”
"Hmm, what you said does make some sense. Huangfu Song had already begun to attack Guangzong. It would not be long before Guangzong was conquered by Huangfu Song's troops. In addition, with the capture of Guangzong and the execution of the enemy chieftain Zhang Liang, it was also a huge blow to the morale of the Yellow Turban army in Quyang.”
Lu Zhi moved his gaze away from the map and finally asked Dong Song,""I plan to set up a defense at the front line of the Shibai River and then form a confrontation with the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang. What do you think?”
Dong Song shook his head lightly." I think it's better for the army to set up defenses around the Yellow Sun Pavilion! The Yellow Sun Pavilion is located higher than the Shibai River, which is beneficial for our defense and also for our attack from a higher vantage point.”
"The Yellow Sun Pavilion is too close to Lower Quyang. If our army sets up defenses around the Yellow Sun Pavilion, I'm afraid that the Yellow Turban Army in Lower Quyang will attack us before we can even get a foothold.”
"General Lu, what we should be worried about is not engaging in a field battle with the Yellow Turban Army, but that they will not come out of the city.”
"What you said does make sense. In addition, let me ask you another question. How do you think we should deal with the surrendered enemy general Gao Sheng?”
"Kill him."
"Killed?"
Lu Zhi looked at Dong Song with a half-smile." You can take in the surrendered soldiers, and you can also take in the surrendered general named Guan Hai. Why can't you take in Gao Sheng?"”
"Because Gao Sheng is useless to us."
"Abandon it if it's useless?"
Lu Zhi looked at Dong Song again, then waved his hand at Dong Song, indicating for him to leave.
Following that, the army continued to march south. In the end, following Dong Song's suggestion, the army set up camp at Yellow Sun Pavilion not far from Lower Qu Yang, facing the 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers near Lower Qu Yang.
However, there were two things that exceeded Lu Zhi's expectations.
Firstly, Zhang Bao, who had the advantage in numbers, did not attack Lu Zhi's army when the government troops were still unstable.
Secondly, Huangfu Song had encountered trouble when he attacked Guangzong. It would be difficult for Huangfu Song to conquer Guangzong in a short period of time.
Without Huangfu Song's cooperation, the government troops would not be able to attack Qu Yang from the north and south, so the plan to attack Qu Yang was temporarily put on hold.
There was no other way to put the attack on hold for the time being, because the army led by Lu Zhi had no advantage over the Yellow Turban Army in Lower Quyang. Even if the government troops attacked, they would only be able to obtain a small victory at most. It would be even more difficult to conquer Qu Yang.
When to attack Qu Yang was not something that Dong Song could consider for the time being, because Dong Song was only a middle-aged lieutenant of the vanguard army. Instead of worrying about the things that Lu Zhi should worry about, it was better to focus on training the soldiers.
Moreover, Qi Jiguang was indeed a good soldier.
Under Qi Jiguang's guidance, the 10,000 soldiers who surrendered first had their spirit and discipline changed, and then Qi Jiguang taught them all kinds of military formations. With these formations, the 10,000 soldiers who had surrendered and were not expected to be able to fight the 10,000 Western Liang soldiers head-on.
"General, this is your first army. Give them a name.”
Hearing Qi Jiguang's words, Dong Song spent 50 merit points to exchange for 10,000 ghost masks and 10,000 black cloaks.
"They used to be the Yellow Turban Army, but it's not shameful to be one. What's shameful is that they chose to surrender on the battlefield. Now, he was putting on the evil ghost mask on them, hoping that they would be able to turn over a new leaf from now on. Therefore, these 10,000 people would be called the Ghost Face Army in the future.”
At this point, the Ghost Face Army, which would terrorize all the vassals in the world, was officially established at Yellow Sun Pavilion.
