After Yang Yu led his troops out of Luoyang, he traveled day and night. Soon, he entered the Changshe territory and settled down far away.
Looking around, the small Changshe was indeed surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army on all sides!
Following Yang Yu was the deputy general Chunyu Qiong. He looked around and saw that they were all Yellow Turban soldiers. He was shocked."General, there are so many rebel soldiers. How can we defeat them with five thousand people?”
Yang Yu looked at him and then at the soldiers around him. He found that everyone's eyes were filled with fear.
Yang Yu immediately knew that he could only defeat the Yellow Turbans with his wits, not his strength!
"Everyone, stay where you are!" Yang Yu waved his hand. Chunyu Qiong, follow me to scout the enemy!”
The two of them looked around the Yellow Turban bandits and walked for a whole day.
Chunyu Qiong was even more discouraged. Zhu Rong had been defeated, and now, together with Huangfu Song, they only had around 10,000! Adding on our five thousand soldiers, it's only twenty thousand! There was a huge difference in strength between the enemy and us. This battle could not be fought at all!”
Yang Yu glanced at Chunyu Qiong and thought to himself,'You're really a genius. The Yellow Turban Army has set up camp in the wild grass, but you can't think of using fire to defeat the enemy after watching for an entire day!' It was no wonder that he would trick Yuan Shao in the future.
Normally, Yang Yu wouldn't waste his breath on this idiot. But now, if he didn't enlighten this guy, he really couldn't fight this battle.
"Chunyu Qiong, do you see these large grasses?”
"I saw it, General…Sigh, General, you don't have to say that these unruly people really know how to pick a place. It's so convenient to live here and cook. It's inexhaustible!"
Yang Yu was stunned by his strange train of thought and could only continue to enlighten him."In that case, if you were to set up camp, would you choose this place?”
"That…Of course not!" Chunyu Qiong was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head." This place catches fire too easily. If it catches fire, we won't even need to be attacked by others. We'll lose ourselves!"”
Chunyu Qiong fell silent after he finished speaking. Clearly, he still hadn't realized that this was the key to defeating the enemy.
Yang Yu gave up on the idea of enlightening him and directly said to him,"Since you know all this, let me ask you. If we deliberately set fire to the place, can we break this Yellow Turban gang?”
Chunyu Qiong was stunned again. His eyes gradually widened as if he had understood something. In the end, he was shocked."If that's the case, then we can break this Yellow Turban thief effortlessly! I was wondering why the general asked me that question. So the general was trying to enlighten me?”
"Looks like you're not too stupid. Go and tell the brothers below to prepare firewood. When the wind blows, they will follow me to defeat the enemy!”
Chunyu Qiong was immediately overjoyed and bowed to Yang Yu."If you can defeat the enemy, this is a wondrous skill! Thanks to the general's guidance, this subordinate is extremely grateful!”
Although he had a brilliant plan, Yang Yu also knew that there were many Yellow Turban thieves. Just a fire had scared them away. In a few days, they would gather together and continue to make trouble.
His five thousand men were obviously not enough to intimidate the Yellow Turban Army, so if they wanted to win this battle, they had to cooperate with Huangfu Song and Zhu Rong in Changshe City.
Therefore, Yang Yu wrote his own arrangements and sneaked into the Yellow Turban army in the dark. He tied the letter with a stone and threw it directly into Changshe City with his brute force. Then, he calmly left.
After this trip, Yang Yu had a first-hand experience of the Yellow Turban Army's disarray.
"The Yellow Turban bandits have only experienced four months of fighting since the first month of the lunar calendar. They have almost no combat experience! It was late at night, and they were still walking around in a mess. There were people patrolling, but there was no password. If they did not lose, there was simply no justice!”
Yang Yu had a well-thought-out plan and was even more confident in this battle.
At this moment, Huangfu Song and Zhu Xi in Changshe City had almost fallen into despair.
"Generals! The arrows in the city had been used up, and they would probably have to fight a tough battle!”The military commander reported bad news. Huangfu Song and Zhu Rong frowned.
"The arrows are exhausted, and we will have to fight the Yellow Turban bandits on the city wall in the future. The casualties will probably multiply!”Huangfu Song looked worried.
"That's still fine. The biggest crisis now is that we've run out of rations! If they didn't break out, they would probably lose without a fight!”Zhu Rong hadn't slept well for many days, and there was drool at the corners of his eyes. When he spoke, his eyes were red, and it was very scary.
Huangfu Song sighed heavily." The Yellow Turban bandits have camped on the grass. We can set fire to break them. However, we have too few soldiers and can't cause many casualties to the Yellow Turban army. Even if we set fire to scare the Yellow Turban bandits away, they will come again in a few days. If he couldn't defeat the enemy, he would die when he returned to the court.”
Just as the two of them were feeling distressed, a few soldiers came over."Generals, someone outside the city shot an arrow!”
Huangfu Song opened the letter and his eyes lit up."That's great! The reinforcements from the Imperial Court had arrived! He actually thought of using a fire trap! Amazing, he had just arrived and already understood the key to defeating the enemy. His thoughts coincided with mine!”
Zhu Rong looked at it, but he was full of doubts,""The letter said that the wind would blow in three days and that they would send out their troops. But how did he know that the wind would blow in three days? Could it be that this person knows divination?"
Huangfu Song also frowned." I've never believed in divination. Of course, I don't believe in such things." But this man knows how to use fire to defeat the enemy, he doesn't look like someone like Wuzu…No matter what, we're running out of rations and arrows, we have to fight for any chance of survival!”
Zhu Rong nodded." Then, let's tell the soldiers to prepare for the time being. Let's see what the weather will be like in three days!"”
Therefore, the two of them went down to arrange for their soldiers to find dry firewood in the city and prepare in advance. They were waiting for the wind to blow and attack together with Yang Yu.
Outside the city, Yellow Turban Marshal Bo Cai had led his troops and stationed here for more than a month. His daily task was to send troops to attack the city.
Bo Cai didn't have any sense of crisis, and nothing had happened in the past month. Now, he had lost his vigilance and spent all his time in the tent with a few kidnapped village women.
His subordinates were also unruly people from the village. They all learned from him and stationed a number of village women in their tents. Usually, after giving orders to attack the city, they would return.
No one thought about whether the imperial court would send reinforcements, nor did they feel that there was anything wrong with setting up camp in the grass. All the Yellow Turban bandits did not feel any danger.
In such a relaxed atmosphere, three days later, when it was almost dusk, dark clouds piled up in the western sky and a cold breeze blew.
The Yellow Turban soldiers were farmers who depended on the weather for their livelihood, so they were very familiar with the common weather. When they saw this weather, they all commented in groups of three to five,"The west wind is blowing in the evening. The weather is going to change!”
