    As soon as all the troops fled, Bo Cai suddenly felt that the situation was over and there was no way he could save himself.

    On the battlefield, swarms of Yellow Turban troops called their children father and friends, mostly with one sentence: "Run, run, run." After shouting, they ran away.  I don¡¯t know where they suddenly got so much strength?  My legs, which had lost all strength just now on the battlefield, could run faster than anyone else when it came time to escape.

    Once the Yellow Turban Army fled in large numbers, the officers and soldiers fighting became even more courageous.

    In the past month, both local officers and soldiers in Yingchuan and soldiers selected by the imperial court.  In Yangzhai City in Yingchuan County, it has suffered two major losses from the Yellow Turban Army.  This time, unfortunately, the officers and soldiers actually defeated the many with less and won the battle.  Why doesn't this make them feel proud?  High-spirited.

    When the proud officers and soldiers saw the Yellow Turbans fleeing, they all shouted: "Kill -, kill -, charge -, charge -"

    The deafening shouts of killing resounded through the sky.  The officers and soldiers with swords and spears raised high were in great spirits. Under the leadership of officers at all levels, they pounced fiercely on the mud-legged soldiers who had fled.

    The entire battlefield, for Bo Cai and Peng Tuo, can only be described as a crushing defeat.  There were fleeing Yellow Turban troops everywhere, and panic faces everywhere.  Bo Cai felt sad for a while, but he could do nothing.  Under the urging of his confidants, he hurried to Yangzhai City.

    Huangfu Song and other officers and generals were surprised at first when they saw that the Yellow Turban Army finally fled.  Afterwards, Huangfu Song frowned, looked in the direction of Yangzhai, and hurriedly said to his confidants: "Quick, go tell General Cao and ask him to lead the cavalry to stop the rebels from returning to the city."

    Attacking a city is extremely difficult for any army.  What if the Yellow Turban Army could be blocked outside Yangzhai City?  For officers and soldiers, this is the best result.  As for the more than a thousand cavalry, can they stop the Yellow Turban Army from returning to Yangdi from Simen?  Huangfu Song threw this problem to Cao Cao.

    "General Cao, General Huangfu has ordered you to lead the cavalry and block the four gates of Yangzhai City. There is no chance that a bandit army will return to the city."

    ?? Huangfu Song¡¯s confidants don¡¯t know who is in trouble?  A good command forced him to pass it like this.

    Xiahou Dun and Shi Huan happened to hear it. Their expressions changed, their nostrils snorted, and they shouted coldly: "Go and try."

    Although it is said that obedience is the bounden duty of soldiers, the order passed by the soldiers also made it difficult for Cao Cao.

    There were only 1,550 cavalry. After several fierce battles, the cavalry in Cao Cao's hands had been reduced to 1,100 cavalry.

    " If you want to use these 1,100 cavalry to block the four gates of Yangzhai City and prevent the 78,000 or 80,000 Yellow Turban troops from returning to the city, the degree of difficulty is really one to eleven.  Faced with this extremely difficult military order, it is no wonder that Xiahou Dun and Shi Huan became angry.

    Xiao Yang was standing by and urged: "Mengde, just do your best."

    The messenger didn't know that the last sentence he added privately had offended Xiahou Dun and others.  After hearing Xiahou Dun's anger, although the man was angry, he did not dare to say anything in front of Cao Cao.  After all, Cao Cao was not completely under Huangfu Song's jurisdiction by title.

    Looking in the direction of Yangzhai City, Cao Cao's brows became more and more wrinkled.  Xiahou Dun stopped complaining, and Cao Cao said: "Yuan Rang, stop talking. General Huangfu is also impatient. What if we let the tiger return to the mountain? Let the rebel army return to the city. It will be even more difficult to capture it."

    Attacking a city is not only a technical job, but also a physical job.  A weak woman and child can easily defeat a strong man with great strength on the tower.  Cao Cao, who understood this truth, did not pay attention to the arrogant words of the messenger.

    "If we deal with the traitor army in Yingchuan as soon as possible, we will be able to fulfill the emperor's mission as soon as possible. Only then will we be able to deal with the traitor army in other places with all our strength." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he sighed heavily.

    Xiao Yang stayed for a long time, thinking, it turned out that Cao Cao in the first year of Zhongping was still so loyal and patriotic, and he cared about the Han Dynasty.  It seems that traitors are not made in a day or two.

    Xiao Yang felt a little moved in his heart for a while, then thought that Cao Cao would trample on the Han Dynasty sooner or later, and his heart returned to normal.  However, Xiao Yang thought more clearly about his own path.  Rebellion will happen sooner or later. When the time comes, what kind of tactics will you use?  Moreover, Xiao Yang already regarded Cao Cao as his lifelong rival.

    Thinking of this, Xiao Yang's heart moved and he thought to himself: Can I do it?  Before Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty returned to heaven, Cao Cao was eliminated.  Wouldn't this be setting yourself up for rebellion in the future?  A major obstacle has been removed.

    Suddenly, Xiao Yang felt an alert cold light coming from him.  It turned out that when Xiao Yang thought about whether to murder Cao Cao, his eyes became extremely fierce when he looked at Cao Cao.  Xiahou Dun, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, felt something in his heart, and he didn't notice a trace of vigilance in his eyes.Come over.

    Xiao Yang withdrew his cruel eyes and said with a smile: "Meng De, do you have any good ideas?"

    After asking his men to count the number of cavalry as soon as possible, Cao Cao was so heroic that he shouted loudly: "Although it is difficult, you and I will do our best." Seeing Xiao Yang, Xiahou Dun and others looking at him with bright eyes, Cao Cao ordered:  "Yuan Rang, you lead 300 cavalry and rush to the east gate as soon as possible; General Bao, you do the same, lead 300 cavalry and rush to the west gate as soon as possible."

    After giving the order to the two men, Cao Cao said to Xiao Yang: "Wen Yuan, I will give you one hundred cavalry to block the south gate. As for the north gate, I will personally lead four hundred cavalry to block it."

    Liu Tang was impatient and protested when he heard this: "General Cao, why are there so many of you? My general only has one hundred cavalry." His eyes and eyebrows were very dissatisfied.  Wenpin on the side opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw Xiao Yang, his heart moved and he swallowed the words abruptly.

    When Xiahou Dun heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he opened his mouth to curse his mother.  Cao Cao had already tried to dissuade Xiahou Dun, but before he could speak, Xiao Yang said, "Let's go. The south gate is the farthest. The escaping rebels usually don't go there. The task there is the easiest."

    Wenpin breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: General Xiao is very young, but his head turns very fast.  Kailai didn't say anything himself, but let General Xiao speak out. Liu Tang and Ruan Lie were more convinced by General Xiao's words.  Secondly, as General Xiao said, Cao Cao and the others will also admire the general's ability even more.

    Before leaving, Xiao Yang turned around and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, it is better to block than to open up. Rather than not letting the rebels enter the city, it is better to get ahead of them and trick the families of the rebels in the city into leaving the city."

    Although Cao Cao issued several orders, in his heart, he had no confidence in using only 1,100 cavalry to block an army of 70,000 to 80,000 rebels.  After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Cao Cao's eyes lit up.  He hurriedly spoke to Xiahou Dun and Bao Hong.
