"This is…the Yellow Turban Army!" Xia Cheng sighed as he looked at the Duchang City that was surrounded by a wall of water.
Although they had long known that the Yellow Turban Army was a motley crew, the visual effect of the black mass at the foot of the city in the distance still gave people a sense of oppression as if the city was about to be destroyed by a black cloud.
"Duchang City is facing north, and our army's route is towards the west and south gates, which are where the rebel army is heavily camped. However, our army isn't far from the rebel army, and we haven't seen any traces of enemy scouts.”
"These Yellow Turban bandits are indeed a motley crew. There are no strategists in the army, nor are there people who are good at making arrangements.”
"Don't be careless." Liu Bei thought for a moment." After all, since the rebel army already knows that Taishi has broken out of the encirclement and is asking for help, they must be prepared. We can't let our guard down and blindly advance."”
Zhang Fei patted his chest and said,""Don't worry, Elder Brother. Even if those bandits are on guard, what can they do? As long as I use my Snake Spear, I will kill them all!”
"General Yide is right. Although the Guan Hai Army is said to have 50,000 men, most of them are women, children, the elderly, and the weak. The young and strong who can fight are at most 30,000 men, and their actual combat strength is greatly reduced.
In addition, they were seriously lacking in organizational ability, combat ability, and execution ability. It was not an exaggeration to call them a mob.”
Just as the ancients said: people who are willing to cooperate with each other for benefits are forced to abandon each other when they are in dire straits.
In order to obtain benefits, they would interact with each other.
Therefore, in the face of difficulties, suffering, and disasters, when the benefits disappeared, the friendship would naturally disappear.
The so-called commanders, leaders, and chieftains in the Yellow Turban Army were all like this.
"Let the scouts scout out the distribution of the other party.”Liu Bei decided to be more cautious.
"By the way, where's Taishi Ci?”Xia Cheng suddenly asked.
"Oh, when I was helping the refugees, Hero Taishi took the initiative to ask for help, so I sent Hero Taishi to assist Xian He.”
"My lord is a good soldier and a fierce general. It's not difficult for you to defeat the Yellow Turbans. However, I wonder if that Taishi Ziyi has any ideas.”
" In the past, this person was the prefect of the prefecture who robbed the prefecture. He also went to help Kong Wenju and asked us for help. These are all righteous actions. He is really a talent in the world, but he didn't get the person he entrusted. This person's martial prowess is not inferior to General Yun, General Chang, and General Yi. My lord, you can try to subdue him.”
He was proficient in writing, skilled in archery and horse riding, and familiar with military affairs.
Taishi Ci could definitely be considered a first-class general.
Xia Cheng naturally suggested that Liu Bei accept this person.
When Zhang Fei heard Xia Cheng's evaluation from behind, he could not help but puff up his face. At the same time, he felt very depressed.
Why is it that in the mouth of the Xia Gongcao, any random person is not weaker than me and second brother?
Was that Taishi Ziyi too powerful, or was it because I couldn't lift the Snake Spear and became weak?
Other than his second brother who could make him submit, who else dared to claim to be invincible in front of him, Zhang Fei?
Who dared to say that they were invincible in front of him?
Even that servant from the three surnames couldn't!
"Big brother, I want to fight with Taishi Ziyi for three hundred rounds so that Zi Mou can see who is stronger.”Zhang Fei grinned and stretched his body. A series of cracking sounds came from his bones.
"Third brother, don't mess around." Liu Bei heard Zhang Fei's muttering and immediately turned around to rebuke him.
"If you continue to cause trouble like this, I'll let you guard the rear camp's supplies today, and I won't allow you to attack again.”
"Ah, then forget it. I'll listen to big brother.”Zhang Fei immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.
Compared to Taishi Ci, he had a higher goal.
After so many days of free time, Zhang Fei was already bored to death. It was not easy for him to seize the opportunity to attack, so he would not bump into his brother's muzzle.
Looking at Zhang Fei, who was rubbing his fists and looking like he could not hold back, Xia Cheng rubbed his chin. He needed to perfect his plan.
"If Zi Mou has any other plans, I will be very grateful.”Liu Bei turned his head and said gently.
"My lord, you don't have to do this. The rest is just a matter of taking one step at a time. When the time comes, we only need General Yun Chang and General Yi De to defeat the Yellow Turban's left and right rear troops and force Guan Hai's main force back to Duchang.”Xia Cheng rubbed his chin and suggested.
Duchang City had been besieged for quite some time now, and reinforcements were like putting out a fire.
Logically speaking, it was the best time to capture and kill Guan Hai.
However, it would be a bit of a loss to cut off Guan Hai just like that.
One had to know that the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms described it this way: He measured how Guan Hai could defeat Yun Chang. Within dozens of rounds, the green dragon knife rose and cut Guan Hai under the horse.
To be able to exchange dozens of moves with Guan Yu, Guan Hai's martial strength must be at least above 80, or even 90, right?
Even if his martial strength was just a little higher and he did not know anything else, he was still a second-rate battle general.
As the saying went, it was easy to get three armies, but hard to get a general.
Now that Liu Bei's family was small and his business was small, he would definitely not be interested in powerful generals who understood the art of war and military affairs. Such grassroots generals would never be enough.
No matter what, Guan Hai's strength was much stronger than Liao Hua's, right?
If used well, it could also increase the strength of Liu Bei's generals.
