In 184 AD, the Yellow Turban army failed due to Zhang Jiao's death.
After nine months of fighting, they were ultimately no match for the combined forces of the royal army and the local tyrants.
The peasant uprising, this mighty battle, was completely defeated by the forces led by the landlord tyrants!
In 188 AD, the second Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out!
In February, Guo Tai and others rose up in the White Valley of the West River and attacked Taiyuan County, Hedong County and other places.
In April, the Yellow Turban Army of Gebei, Runan County, rose again and captured the county.
In October, the Yellow Turban rebels in Qingzhou and Xuzhou rose again and attacked the counties.
It was November 188.
Cao Cao, the new Jin Dynasty lieutenant, and Qin Yuan, the deputy general, were jointly responsible for the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army in the Wancheng area.
Wan City hadn't fallen yet, but it was also heavily surrounded.
According to the report of the scouts, the Yellow Turban army had gathered 25,000 troops and surrounded Wancheng.
Half a day later, Cao Cao's army entered Xiang City. They were only a dozen kilometers away from Wan City.
After a day of non-stop marching, the army was waiting and recuperating.
"Brother Meng De, how should we fight this battle?”
In the alleys of Xiang City, Qin Yuan and Cao Cao had changed into decent clothes and were wandering around.
Behind them were Wang Yang, Gan Ning, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Dun.
"Brother Xiaoyao, I think that the army and horses have not moved yet.”
"We just need to gather a hundred elite soldiers and attack the Yellow Turban logistics in Wan City. At that time, they would lose their logistics, and the siege of Wan City would collapse on its own.”
Cao Cao was dressed in high-quality silk and satin. Wherever he went, the people retreated, afraid that it was too late to escape.
"Brother Meng De, your plan is very good. Leave this matter to me and my subordinates, but I think we need a more eye-catching battle record.”
"It's good to not lose a single soldier, but it's also very difficult to obtain a fief from His Majesty. What I'm thinking is that we need to eat all of these twenty-five thousand Yellow Turban rebels.”
"With a battle record forged with iron and blood, I believe that the Emperor will find it difficult to reject the words of a fief.”
"Only then will I have the face to marry your junior sister.”
"This matter is of great importance. What do you think?”
Facing this matter, Qin Yuan was incomparably solemn.
In a contest between armies, the threat of him and the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun would be minimized.
It was very likely that Cao Cao's army would suffer a lot because of his eagerness for quick success.
Therefore, even if Boss Cao refused, he would not say anything!
"Brother Carefree, I think so too.”
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao agreed.
" It's very simple. As long as we stick to the initial plan, you will lead your troops to wreak havoc on the Yellow Turban logistics first. Then, we will wait quietly for two days. When the Yellow Turban army is exhausted..."
"Instantly! Thunder Attack!"
"A soldier who fainted from hunger is not a soldier! We can start a one-sided massacre!!”
In the second half of the sentence, a ruthless look flashed across Cao Cao's eyes.
Qin Yuan really could not find any loopholes in this plan.
The Yellow Turban Army was made up of peasants.
The redundant military strategy was not suitable for this army that was not a regular army.
Their formations and even the way they attacked cities had no military strategy to speak of.
And in terms of raw strength, other than the opponent having the advantage in numbers, the rest…
The armor, food, cavalry, weapons, and so on were all completely unsightly.
Before they came to Xiang City, they had encountered the Yellow Turban Army with hoes in their hands.
Even so, their numbers were still terrifying!!
This time, their army only had 3000 men. Compared to the Yellow Turban Army, they were like a lonely boat.
It was absolutely impossible to fight head-on.
According to what Boss Cao had just said, his mission had become the most important in this war!!
Logistics. If they could think of attacking logistics, how could the Yellow Turban Army not?
Therefore, there must be a heavy guard there!
If the sneak attack dragged on for too long, the Yellow Turban garrison would return to help, and their plan would fail.
Therefore, they had to destroy the important logistics area with lightning speed.
And this required an extremely elite team!!
After thinking for a while, Qin Yuan nodded.
"Alright, leave the Yellow Turban logistics to me, and I'll follow the army.”
"Brother Carefree, I'll leave everything to you. The key to this battle lies with you.”
Cao Cao bowed slightly.
After confirming the plan, Cao Cao immediately rushed back to the temporary camp and announced the supreme order that he and Qin Yuan had decided on.
After Cao Cao left, Qin Yuan led Gan Ning and the others to the streets before returning to the temporary residence.
……
Xiangcheng prefect, Liu Da, the word Fengyi.
This person was Liu Biao's uncle and nephew. He was ordered by the Jingzhou governor, Liu Biao, to guard Xiang City.
In the prefect's manor, Liu Da paced back and forth restlessly.
He had no choice! The Yellow Turban Army had surrounded Wan City. If Wan City was taken, then the next step would be Xiang City.
Ever since Wan City was surrounded, he had been unable to sleep or eat.
He sent letters to other cities to ask for help, but they all fell like a stone into the sea.
"My lord, my lord!"
Suddenly, the servant stumbled in.
"Milord, the Imperial Court has come to help! The Imperial Court has come to save us! Commanding Officer Cao Cao had arrived!”
"Lord Cao Cao is here!"
Da Liu was shocked, then pleasantly surprised.
Cao Cao and his army entered the city at noon, but they had yet to meet.
Da Liu believed that he had to curry favor with the other party.
No matter the price!
Cao Cao had 3,000 elite soldiers, far surpassing the Xiangcheng garrison.
Other than that, there were also the 19 men under Qin Yuan.
Any soldier in that small team would be so bloody that he would tremble in fear.
