"Furthermore, during the battle, Wen Ruo can be stationed in Chen Liu and coordinate in the middle to gather food and fodder. Zhong De and I will follow the army and give advice to Cao Gong!”
"However, this battle will take a long time. If the rations are not gathered, the rations for a million people will cause an even greater rebellion!”
"So, Lord Cao already knows the pros and cons of the three strategies, but I wonder which one of the three strategies is Lord Cao going to choose?”
Hearing Xun You's words, Cao Cao was a little conflicted!
His original intention was to quickly defeat the Yellow Turban Army and then stabilize Yanzhou!
In terms of speed, the middle and bottom plans were actually the fastest, and they could also help Cao Cao stabilize Yanzhou!
The best strategy had the greatest strategic significance. The fruits of victory after the battle would also be the most. Moreover, it was somewhat similar to what Zhang Yu had said previously!
However, the biggest problem was still food!
Hence, after much consideration, Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and Zhang Yu and finally spoke!
"Then let's follow the best plan. Mu Jun, you will continue to lead 5,000 troops as the vanguard. Gao Shun and Le Jin will be your deputy generals!”
"Wen Ruo and Xi Zhicai will stay in Chenliu to stabilize the situation in the four directions and gather food and fodder. I will lead the generals, Zhongde and Gongda will lead the main force behind Yu Mujun to fight the Yellow Turban Army!”
After hearing Cao Cao's words, the generals all agreed!
Compared to Zhang Yu's suggestion, with Xun Yu and the other two joining, the chances of winning were naturally higher!
Most importantly, although Zhang Yu also hoped that Cao Cao could recruit the Yellow Turban Army, once all of these millions of people poured into Yanzhou!
The consumption of rations would definitely be an astronomical figure!
If there was no one to raise food, even if Zhang Yu really defeated the Yellow Turban Army, it would be empty talk if there was no food to attract them to surrender!
In the end, it was impossible to achieve the effect that Zhang Yu had expected!
Therefore, the surrender of Xun Yu and the other two had solved Cao Cao and Zhang Yu's urgent need!
Raising food and fodder was something that a top politician like Xun Yu, who was good at internal affairs, should do!
Zhang Yu's definition was only a general, so these troublesome matters should be left to those who were capable!
However, in terms of defeating the enemy, Cheng Yu's strategy was indeed the best choice!
Unfortunately, Zhang Yu and Cao Cao's ambitions were not limited to this!
Therefore, every detail of this war must be prepared. Whether it was food or military strength, they must be able to crush the Yellow Turban Army!
After confirming their target, Zhang Yu led Gao Shun and Le Jin, as well as five thousand elite soldiers, straight to East County!
However, because of the death of the prefect and the provincial governor, East County was leaderless and was quickly breached by the Yellow Turban Army!
The Yellow Turban soldiers, who were used to being rebel armies, wantonly burned, killed, looted, robbed, and raped women after they entered Dongjun City!
For a moment, the entire East County was like a living hell!
When Zhang Yu led his army to East County, he saw flames soaring into the sky from afar. Countless wails could be heard even from more than ten miles away!
Seeing this, Zhang Yu, Gao Shun, Le Jin, and the other soldiers all felt their killing intent increase greatly!
Before he led his army over, Zhang Yu had told Gao Shun and Le Jin to try their best to recruit the Yellow Turban soldiers to surrender if they encountered them!
Because they were all commoners in the past. If it wasn't because they couldn't survive, why would they become rebels?
But how innocent were the people of East County?
They had been living their own lives at home, but now that the city had fallen, East County was like a living hell!
Such a beast's behavior, could it be measured by saying that he didn't have enough to eat and was originally a good citizen?
For a moment, Zhang Yu's heart was at war with himself. He could directly attack the tyrannical Western Liang Army!
But at this moment, Zhang Yu was a little conflicted about these Yellow Turban soldiers who were supposed to be good citizens but had now become evil thieves!
After a long time, Zhang Yu raised the silver spear in his hand and shouted at the five thousand soldiers behind him!
"What I told you to hold back just now doesn't count. The people of East County are the ones we need to save now.”
"Once you see anyone who dares to commit crimes, kill them without mercy!”
After receiving Zhang Yu's order, the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation. Then, their fighting spirit increased greatly. Under Zhang Yu's lead, they charged straight for East County!
That's right, since ancient times, a general's achievements were naturally achieved by one general, and his bones were withered by ten thousand. Mercy did not control the army. This was the way it was!
Since he had already entered the trap, Zhang Yu had to abide by the rules of this world!
The most important thing was that the Yellow Turban Army was the one doing evil, and the innocent were the people of East County. Zhang Yu naturally would not use the same theory as he did in his previous life!
Now, only by killing could Zhang Yu vent his anger!
It was also because of Zhang Yu's change in mentality that an invincible general would appear in the world in the future!
When the army arrived outside Dongjun City, they saw that the city gates were wide open. None of the Yellow Turban bandits were guarding the city!
However, because the Yellow Turban Army had a large number of people, the total number of people who broke into Dongjun City was more than 300,000!
The remaining people were still on their way from Qingzhou to Yanzhou!
Seeing this, Zhang Yu's lips curled into a cold smile. After taking down the city gate, he did not even defend the city!
With such a rebel army, what was the use even if there were more people?
Thus, Zhang Yu immediately split his troops into four groups and ordered Le Jin and Gao Shun to lead 1,500 men to attack from the east and west gates!
He himself led more than a thousand cavalrymen in from the south gate and began to slaughter the Yellow Turban Army!
The last thousand infantry were arranged by Zhang Yu to defend the north gate!
As the five thousand elite Cao soldiers charged into the city, the Yellow Turban soldiers who were wreaking havoc everywhere finally reacted and began to put up sporadic resistance!
However, in the face of an organized army, how could these Yellow Turban soldiers, who were only farmers half a month ago, be a match for Zhang Yu's army?
After charging into the city, the wails and sounds of killing became even clearer!
Zhang Yu had seen with his own eyes that a dozen Yellow Turban thieves had dragged a young girl into a room and were about to do something indecent!
The girl's parents wanted to protect their daughter, but they were beaten to death in the end!
Such a scene filled the entire East County City!
Zhang Yu could save one person, but could he save the entire East County?
The answer was naturally no!
This was war. No matter how powerful a person was, there was a limit to how much they could do. The consequences of war could only be borne by the people of the various regions!
"Duke Cao's army has entered the city. If anyone dares to resist, kill them without mercy!”
