Chapter 2836 3099 Solve Mayi Single-Handedly
Ding, the governor of Bingzhou, had a military strategy and was loyal to the Han family. As soon as he said these words, the expressions of several officials under the door changed. The person who just spoke stood up with a pale face, bowed his hands to Ding Yuan and said:
"Mr. Jianyang, please don't take what the official said to heart. We are all Han officials, taking advantage of the emperor's salary and relieving the emperor's worries. Today, the Yellow Turbans are in chaos all over the world, especially in Yingchuan, Wancheng and other places. My original intention is that there were no Yellow Turbans in Jinyang originally, but today there are so many Yellow Turbans. They not only besieged Mayi, but also divided their troops to wreak havoc in the countryside. From the following point of view, I am afraid that this matter is not caused by the Yellow Turbans. Because, someone is openly committing robbery in the name of the Yellow Turbans!"
"Huh?" Ding Yuan's expression changed, and then a bright light flashed in his eyes!
"Black Mountain Thief, Li Daniu!"
Although Ding Yuan was only a military general and not literate, he was very familiar with Bingzhou after staying there for a long time. When he heard what his subordinates said, he immediately reacted.
"It turns out that Li Daniu gathered a crowd and wanted to take advantage of the chaos and plunder the countryside! He actually had a good plan and acted in the name of the Yellow Turban! It's just that he was a Han general, how could he be allowed to wreak havoc like this?! Come on, hurry up! I would like to invite Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Cao Xing to come and meet me!"
"You can't be a governor! What's the point of mentioning a mere Black Mountain bandit? There are many generals to be mobilized today, why not just one general? Besides, although there are many rogue bandits in the Black Mountain bandit, there are still as many as 100,000! The Yellow Turbans are raging today, and people are uneasy! If your Excellency takes the lead, The army went to suppress it. First of all, it was time-consuming and laborious. Secondly, there were no troops in Jinyang. If someone took advantage of it, wouldn't it be a big deal? The governor must not forget about Wancheng! "
Ding Yuan slapped his forehead with his hand, looked at the officials and sighed:
"I almost ruined a big thing! If Jinyang is lost, I will be guilty of a big crime. However, the Black Mountain is raging, and it will be troublesome after all! I don't know what can be done?"
"Your Excellency is aware of this. You can first order the four generals to organize the troops and horses, and then order Gao Shun to recruit new soldiers to protect the territory and the people. The siege of Yanmen Mayi seems to be unsolvable, but it is not. The leader of the thieves, Li Daniu, is a very loyal man. The Black Mountain thieves are quite popular. If a large army confronts them, I don't know how many people will be killed or injured. Moreover, Li Daniu is familiar with the location and can escape even if he is defeated. Once the imperial army leaves, he can fight back in vain. Even if we spend a lot of troops, we might even make the Black Mountain bandits bigger!" Another official said.
"Oh? Then from what Uncle Zhi has seen, what method should be used to subdue this beast?" Ding Yuan asked. He had carried out many encirclements and suppressions against the Black Mountain bandits before, but every time, just like Zhang Yang said, he always let this guy run away.
"For the current plan, there is no need to fight. If we fight, we will definitely kill Li Daniu! The Black Mountain bandits will naturally fall apart, so there is nothing to worry about!"
Zhang Yang replied, and Ding Yuan sighed after hearing this, and then said:
"It's not that I don't know the truth here. It's just that there are 100,000 people around Li Daniu. How can I kill him?"
When fighting bandits, killing the opponent's leader is the most important thing. Because once the leader is killed, the bandits will collapse. This is why it is so easy for officers and soldiers to strangle bandits.
"Although one hundred thousand men and horses are many! But in the eyes of General Fengxian, how are they any different from grassroots?" Zhang Yang said with a smile:
"For the current plan, we can order General Fengxian to challenge Li Daniu in a duel in front of the formation. With General Fengxian's power, Li Daniu will not be able to escape!"
"Uncle Zhi, I almost missed something important!" Ding Yuan praised:
"Come here, send an order to my son to lead troops to relieve the siege of Mayi!"
…
Lu Bu, named Fengxian, was an unparalleled warrior. He was fifteen years old and his father died early. Ding Yuan heard that he was brave and a rare warrior, so he adopted him as his adopted son and regarded him as his confidant.
Yanmen Mayi.
Half a month ago, Li Dali, a bandit from the Black Mountains, had no food in the mountains and heard that the Yellow Turbans were rising and the Han family was in chaos, so he took advantage of the situation and pretended to be Yellow Turbans. He selected 30,000 thieves and went down the mountain, claiming to be a hundred thousand army, with the intention of plundering Yanmen Mayi for replenishment. food.
He had made a good calculation. Even if he failed and Ding Yuan was pursued, he could still escape back to the mountains. Moreover, he was acting in the name of the Yellow Turban Thief and had already sent people and Yellow Turban veteran Zhang Jiao to obtain it. Contacted. Naturally, Zhang Jiao would not reject anyone who came to such a group of people who took the initiative to join him.
Anyway, if there are too many lice, you are not afraid of being bitten. From Zhang Jiao's point of view, the more men and horses under his command, the better.
Li Daniu is quite smart, but he is limited to thinking of only one such method. Although the thirty thousand Black Mountain bandits selected were elite in his eyes, this was not the case in the eyes of others. Thirty thousand Black Mountain bandits tightly surrounded the small county town of Mayi. They attacked day and night, and no one knew how many people died. However, the city wall of Mayi still stood tall, which was really a headache.
Although the Black Bandits are not as powerful as the Yellow Turbans, they are still considered local snakes. However, even the Black Mountain bandits who have been operating in Bingzhou for a long time lack basic military knowledge, let alone basic tools for siege. Otherwise, how could a mere small county town, with a city wall no more than ten meters high and a village warrior of only a few hundred, be able to withstand an army of thirty thousand? ?
However, Yanmen Mayi's good luck ended here. Although the Montenegrin bandits lack basic military literacy, they are just a group of gangsters. But too many ants can kill an elephant. Although the Black Mountain bandits have killed an unknown number of people in the past few days, many of Mayi's city walls have been damaged, and there is not much kerosene, linen and other supplies in the city.
Zhang Su, the magistrate of Mayi County, stood on the city wall, looking at the yellow ocean below, but felt weak in his heart. Seeing that the city was about to be breached, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Father! Let the children fight!" While Zhang Su was speaking, an Angzang boy came up from under the city wall, looked at Zhang Su and said.
That young man was only fifteen years old, but he was born very brave and had good martial arts skills. If given time, he might become a famous general. However, the situation in Mayi today...
