Cao Yu smiled and said," In my opinion, if Liu Dai doesn't leave the city to fight the enemy during the meeting later, I'll provoke him to send troops. If he's unlucky and dies in the chaotic army, it's fine. If he's lucky enough to return, I'll shoot him with an arrow and send him to meet the King of Hell!”
Bao Xin nodded in agreement.”
Cao Cao was filled with emotions and did not know what to say!
"You guys…"
However, he did not object. This was the nature of an ambitious person!
The actor, who had been silent all this while, added lightly,"Why not settle it once and for all?"
"Sir, you mean…"
"There must be someone close to Liu Dai in the eight counties of Gunzhou!”
With Xi Zhicai's reminder, the few of them instantly understood. They immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. He wanted to capture them all in one fell swoop!
As expected of a schemer, he was ruthless!
"Good idea," Bao Xin said.”
Then, he turned to Cao Cao and said,"Meng De cannot be soft-hearted!"”
Cao Cao said arrogantly," Thank you all for thinking so highly of me. You all want to establish unparalleled achievements with me. How can I be someone who cannot make a decision?"”
"Good!"
This was the good thing about Cao Cao. He was ruthless when he should be. If it was Liu Bei, he would definitely cherish his reputation of benevolence and righteousness. He would be restrained and miss the opportunity!
Next, they discussed the details in detail and tried their best to make sure that nothing was left out.
"Ding! [Mission: Help Cao Cao become the Prefecture Overseer.]”
He had another reason to work hard! Liu Dai, even if you don't die, you'll die!
As time passed, the Provincial Governor Liu Dai and the other mayors also arrived.
Liu Dai sat on the main seat and looked around.
"Everyone, the Yellow Turbans are coming at us menacingly. I mean to give them a head-on attack. We must not let them harm the territory of Yanzhou.”
Cao Cao and the others looked at each other and were secretly happy.
Bao Xin shook his head." The Yellow Turban army is powerful. I think we should hold on!"”
Liu Dai retorted," Bao Jibei is worrying too much. Although the Yellow Turban soldiers claim to be in the millions, they only have a few hundred thousand people. Most of them are the old, the weak, women, and children. In addition, they are not fully equipped and their personnel are scattered. How can they fight? Our army will definitely collapse in one blow!”
At this point, Liu Dai was in high spirits."The great merit is right in front of us. What are your concerns?”
It had to be said that Liu Dai's analysis was not wrong, but he only considered the enemy and did not consider his own side. In the face of a million Yellow Turban soldiers, it would be good if the soldiers did not go weak. What morale would they have to fight?
The prefects nodded in unison.”
Bao Xin still shook his head." Before you think about victory, you should think about defeat. I have to be responsible for the people in the city. Since the provincial governor and the prefects are determined to fight, we can't leave the rear behind. I will prepare for the celebration in the city and wait for your triumphant return!”
Hmph hmph, go, go, go die!
Liu Dai felt disdain in his heart. Great merit was right in front of him, yet this person was so timid. What a waste!
"Meng De," he turned to Cao Cao,"you fought with the Yellow Turban bandits at that time.”
Cao Cao shook his head and said,"One attack and you'll be defeated!" However, this time was different. The enemy had a lot of people and Cao Cao wasn't confident.”
At the end, he added,"There are many things to do in Dongjun. Cao Cao can't even take care of himself. I won't compete with the provincial governor for credit!"”
Liu Dai snorted coldly in his heart. At least you know what's good for you, but do you think you'll be fine just because you're focused on stabilizing East County? This provincial governor will take it back sooner or later!
"Everyone, do you have any objections?”
The Governor of Chen Liu, Zhang Miao, was about to agree, but he saw Cao Cao trying to signal him with his eyes. Although he didn't understand, he chose to believe his good friend.
Shaking his head, he said," Miao won't go. We've used up too much of our forces to deal with Dong. Chen Liu doesn't have enough troops. We can't afford to waste them!"”
Liu Dai did not mind. Zhang Miao had only brought five thousand soldiers this time, so it was neither too much nor too little.
Cao Yu sighed in his heart. His eldest brother was too meddlesome. Zhang Miao was on his kill list, so as to prevent him from rebelling in the future and colluding with Lu Bu to cause trouble.
"Alright, then everyone will follow this provincial governor and send troops to make sure that the Yellow Turban bandits won't be able to return!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Then I'll leave the rear to the three of you!" Liu Dai continued to mock.”
Five counties, a total of 100,000 troops, majestically left the North Kingdom to meet the Yellow Turban Army.
"Elder brother, this little brother will take his leave first!”
As soon as Cao Yu left, Zhang Miao looked at Cao Cao in confusion.
"Meng De, why did you stop me just now?”
Cao Cao shook his head. Liu Dai underestimated the enemy and was unprepared. Not letting you go is for your own good!”
After Cao Yu went out, he called Xue Rengui and the Black Tiger Guards to follow the army out of the city.
During the march, Liu Dai was in high spirits and full of confidence. Before they even fought, he already thought that the credit was within his grasp.
"Report, the Yellow Turban army has been discovered in front!”
"Finally met? Everyone, follow this provincial governor, make contributions, and bring glory to our ancestors!”
The 100,000-strong army charged forward, but when they saw the endless number of rebel soldiers, their faces turned pale.
"This... So many people? How?"
"Provincial Governor, why don't…Should we lay low for a while?"
But it was too late. The Yellow Turban army had swarmed over under the order of the Canal Marshal. If they fled now, they would be slaughtered. Although Liu Dai was incompetent, he would not give such a stupid order.
Although he was not confident, Liu Dai still gritted his teeth and gave the order.
"Everyone, don't worry. Although the enemy is numerous, they are all a motley crew. They are definitely not our match!”
"Soldiers, listen up! Charge!"
Looking at the yellow torrent that was surging over like a swarm of locusts, their faces turned pale and their legs went weak. Forget about charging, it was already good enough that they did not retreat!
"The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Do you want to wait for death? Charge!"
That's right, if he didn't charge, he would be killed. Why not give it a try?
"Charge!"
However, why was the battle cry so lacking in confidence? Why were his hands and feet trembling?
The two torrents, one big and one small, collided. They were not as unstoppable as they had imagined, nor were they evenly matched.
The soldiers who had lost their courage collapsed at once because they had no faith in victory at all. They were not strong enough to wield their sabers, they were not bold enough to kill the enemy, and they were afraid of their hands and feet. How could they be a match for the Yellow Turbans?
Even if they exchanged two or three lives for one, the Yanzhou Army couldn't afford to waste them!
