After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Cao Cao and the rest nodded their heads!
"Lord Mu is right. No matter what, our army will be invincible. Moreover, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have already fallen out with each other. There is no possibility of them giving up and making peace!”
"Therefore, when our army entered Qingzhou, they would never join forces to attack our army. On the contrary, they could only rope in this additional third party!”
After a long discussion, Cao Cao finally decided to attack Qingzhou before the battle in the north was over!
As for the name of sending troops, it was because the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army had rebelled and invaded Yanzhou. Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, was afraid that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army would rebel again!
Therefore, in order to kill the threat outside the borders and to protect the people of Yanzhou, he had no choice but to do so!
Since ancient times, to start a war, one had to have a good reason. If there was no good excuse, the morale of the army would be unstable!
Obviously, the excuse this time was quite sufficient!
However, at this time, another attack by the Yellow Turban Army occurred in Beihai, Qingzhou!
Previously, Qingzhou Military Guan Hai, Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan, White Wave Army Zhang Baiqi, Runan Liu Pi, and Gong had once again raised the banner of the Yellow Turban Army to cause trouble!
Although the rebellions in various places were quickly suppressed, Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Yan, Liu Pi, and Gong Du could only hide in the mountains and forests again to avoid the crusade of the various dukes!
However, Guan Hai of Qingzhou had plundered Qingzhou at first. After running out of rations, he set his sights on the North Sea!
Because of this, the people of Qingzhou who had been robbed had no source of food and could only go to Yanzhou to plunder!
Therefore, more than 90% of the one million Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers that Cao Cao and Zhang Yu defeated were Qingzhou civilians who used the name of the Yellow Turban Army!
This time, Guan Hai had once again sent out 200,000 soldiers to besiege the North Sea. The North Sea Governor Kong Rong was no match for them, so he could only send out many scouts to various places to request reinforcements!
……
At this moment, in Beihai County of Qingzhou!
The prefect Kong Rong looked at the black mass of Yellow Turban soldiers below the city and the arrogant leader of the Qingzhou army, Guan Hai. Kong Rong was also extremely helpless!
There were only 8,000 soldiers in Beihai City, and Wu Anguo was the only general. The defense could still hold on for a while!
If they went out of the city to fight, they would probably be eaten clean by the other party's 200,000 troops!
"Kong Rong, my Yellow Turban army of 200,000 has surrounded your Beihai City. If you don't want to die, quickly open the city and surrender!”
"In that case, I can still make the decision to save your life. Otherwise, when the city falls, the entire North Sea will be wiped out!”
Kong Rong's expression suddenly changed when he heard Guan Hai's murderous words!
Seeing how arrogant Guan Hai was, Wu Anguo, the general under Kong Rong, who was also the one who had fought Lu Bu at Tiger Cage Pass and was saved by Zhang Yu after receiving three moves from Lu Bu, couldn't hold it in anymore!
"My lord, Guan Hai is so arrogant. This general is willing to lead 500 troops to kill him. If we don't succeed, we will die!”
Kong Rong revealed a despairing expression when he heard Wu Anguo's words!
"In the current situation, the enemy has nearly thirty times our strength. How can we stop them? We can only rely on Beihai City to defend and wait for reinforcements!”
"Wu Anguo, I don't know much about military affairs, so I'll leave the defense of the city to you. I, Kong Rong, have some reputation among the dukes!”
"I will first write a few letters asking for help and send them to Yuan Shao of Bohai, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, and Cao Cao of Yanzhou.”
"If no one is willing to send troops over, I'm afraid our North Sea will only be destroyed!”
After saying this, Kong Rong immediately went down the city wall and wrote some letters, ordering the elite scouts to break out of the encirclement!
Coincidentally, there was a person in the city whose mother had received a favor from Kong Rong in the early years. When Kong Rong was surrounded by Guan Hai's army, she came to support him!
Seeing that there was a brave warrior helping him, the heavy responsibility of killing their way out of the city to deliver the letter was handed over to this person!
And this warrior was the one who became the bravest warrior in Jiangnan and was hailed as the number one general in Jiangdong-Donglai Taishi Ci!
After receiving Kong Rong's request, Donglai Taishi Ci protected several scouts who had charged out of Beihai City and rampaged through the Yellow Turban rebels!
Such a brave man was naturally not someone that ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers could resist!
After the bloody battle, the remaining four scouts went to the four dukes that Kong Rong had asked for help from!
This made Taishi Ci, who had completed his mission, lose his mind for a moment!
However, after thinking about it, when the vassals attacked Dong, there was a person named Liu Bei. It was said that he was a descendant of the Han Emperor. The two sworn brothers had extraordinary martial arts!
Since they were all here to solve Kong Rong's predicament, it was useless for Taishi Ci to stay here alone. He might as well go find Liu Bei!
Perhaps, there would be more hope!
After making up his mind, Taishi Ci headed straight for Pingyuan County, hoping to get Liu Bei to send troops!
As time slowly passed, Kong Rong's request for help was sent to the various dukes!
The vassals all rejected Kong Rong's request for help. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were fighting in Jizhou.
But they didn't have enough troops to deal with the 200,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, so they naturally couldn't spare any time to support Kong Rong!
Although Yuan Shu and the others in the south also wanted to get their hands on Qingzhou, they were separated by Yuzhou and Xuzhou. They could not go north at all!
Although Xu Prefecture's Overseer, Tao Qian, had received this news, he only intended to defend his own land, so he did not send out his troops!
When the scouts from the North Sea sent this request for help, the situation finally turned around!
Cao Cao had originally planned to march into Qingzhou, and now Kong Rong had given him an excuse to do so. How could Cao Cao not be happy?
Thus, Cao Cao promised the scout from the North Sea.
"Kong Beihai was also one of our allies back then, not to mention that Kong Beihai is a descendant of Saint Kong. No matter what, I won't sit idly by!”
"Moreover, I know the harm of the Yellow Turban Army's rebellion, so please go back and tell Kong Beihai that I will send troops to rescue Qingzhou in a few days!”
After receiving Cao Cao's confirmation, the scout was overjoyed. After eating and drinking his fill, he rode his horse back to Qingzhou to inform Kong Rong of the news!
At this moment, Cao Cao, after receiving the scouts from the North Sea, immediately gathered his subordinates for a meeting!
The only enemy they needed to deal with in this expedition to Qingzhou was the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the North Sea.
In that case, there would be no one in Qingzhou who could stop Cao Cao's army!
However, after Cao Cao sent his troops to Qingzhou, he did so to prevent Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and the southern vassals from launching a sudden attack!
When they sent troops to Qingzhou, they had to leave behind sufficient troops in Yanzhou. Similarly, if they took Qingzhou, they would also need to send a general to guard it!
