On October 6, Dong Zhuo, who had been hesitant since taking over military power, finally changed his attitude, left the county seat of Ren County, and marched towards the Yellow Turbans.

The arrival of Liu Bei's army made Dong Zhuo wary. The effectiveness of the demonstration in the county seat was so good that Dong Zhuo believed that Liu Bei was a worthy opponent. He was afraid that Liu Bei would steal his military glory. Dong Zhuo hurriedly sent troops to get in front of Liu Bei and understand the war.

On this day, the rebel army's strength was still shrinking, and Guan Yu's troops stopped practicing for attacks and began to conserve their physical strength in preparation for war.

Rebel rangers went around to detect the movement, the Yellow Turban movement, and also kept an eye on Dong Zhuo's troops.

As some people thought, Dong Zhuo also sent a lot of Xiliang cavalry to follow the rebels, and they followed unhurriedly.

He was a Xiliang soldier and an official soldier, so there was no reason to drive him away, so he could only let him follow.

Li Mengxi guessed that Dong Zhuo's intention was that Dong Zhuo wanted to see our troops weak and kill our troops.

hehe.

If Dong Zhuo had the guts, during the conflict in Ren County, he would directly and completely break up and raise troops to attack. With the strength of the rebel army, which is far at a disadvantage, Dong Zhuo might really be annihilated.

But since Dong Zhuo didn't make up his mind at that time, Dong Zhuo had no chance.

Some armies suffer more serious losses and become weaker the more they fight.

But some armies, contrary to common sense, get stronger the more they fight.

After leaving Zhuozhou, the rebel army defeated Wen'an County with thousands of troops, and expanded the army to several thousand. Qingyun Mountain also recruited an elite Yellow Turban army with more than 10,000 troops.

Sweeping everything together to create a general trend was a strategy that was decided before the troops were sent out. Now it seems that every step is as expected.

Most of the Yellow Turbans have been compressed by Lu Zhi in the Julu Guangzong area, and more than tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans can be swallowed up.

Even if the rebel army really stops moving forward and does not fight against the Yellow Turbans, its military strength will still increase day by day.

Military training continues day by day. With each passing day, there are 1,600 new soldiers, and the organization and discipline are getting better.

If you wait ten days or one month, there will be 1,600 more troops in the army who can fight in battle. If you wait another month, all men and women in the army, as long as they can pick up a gun, will be able to fight in battle.

By then, the army will have at least six thousand combatable troops.

By then, if Dong Zhuo wants to fight, the rebel army will have the ability to protect itself.

On this day, there was no military sentiment.

We set up camp in the evening and encountered water again. Liu Bei came to ask if we were still fishing.

Li Mengxi was no more concerned than before. He was approaching the battlefield. The scope of the scout search was limited. If there was a wave of yellow scarves, he finally set up a fishing camp, made a fishing net, built a fishing camp boat, and bought fish.

Scissors, etc., all gone.

Therefore, both the fishing team and the traveling caravan have stopped.

At night, military training continued.

On the 8th, the scouts reported urgently that Dong Zhuo collided with the Yellow Turbans in Pingxiang. They fought two battles with no outcome, but Dong Zhuo retreated slightly.

Li Mengxi unfolded the military situation map given by Lu Zhi and analyzed the enemy's situation according to the marks on the map.

Pingxiang County is located between Ren County and Julu County.

Julu County has Julu County, just as Zhuo County has Zhuozhou.

Li Mengxi was very familiar with Julu. This place name has a lot to do with the Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao Department.

Following the map and looking a little southeast, Li Mengxi saw Guangzong.

According to the original timeline, Zhang Jiao was forced to retreat by the army. After retreating to Guangzong, Zhang Jiao became worried and sick and died of illness in the army. The Yellow Turbans thus entered the ruins.

But now, it is still a little early for Zhang Jiao's army to be destroyed due to the current traitor situation. Lu Zhi has just been exempted from military power.

At this time, Li Mengxi realized that the rebels had unknowingly had the ability to change history.

Liu Bei's army was much stronger than before, and he decided on his strategy early. After defeating Cheng Yuanzhi's troops, he directly led his troops to attack Julu.

While Zhang Jiao and the army were still at a stalemate, Liu Bei arrived with strong troops, which would hasten Zhang Jiao's demise.

Everyone gathered around and looked at the picture for a long time.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei all looked at Li Mengxi. Their posture clearly indicated that they wanted to listen to Li Mengxi's opinion and ask where to fight.

Li Mengxi tapped the map with his hand, "Dong Zhuo attacks the front, then our army will go around and attack from the side."

A sinister smile appeared on Li Mengxi's face, "It just so happened that Dong Zhuo's troops attracted the main force of the Yellow Turbans for our army. When the Yellow Turbans were unprepared, our army could catch him off guard!"

Therefore, the marching route was agreed upon, which was to make a half-circle, heading south to Nanhe, and then east to Jize, Guangping, Quzhou, Weixian, and Guangzong.

We took a slight detour, but we walked close to the Yellow Turban activity area marked by Lu Zhi, so we didn’t go too far.

Li Mengxi finalized the marching route.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang thought about it and found that there was no problem, so they agreed.

This surprised Lu Zhong, who was called by Liu Bei for the first time to discuss military affairs.

It is true that Li Mengxi seems too young, and Lu Zhong has not had much contact with Li Mengxi, so it is natural to doubt Li Mengxi's ability.

As a military advisor, Li Mengxi is not fully qualified, but he can play the role that a military advisor should play.

No one has the ability to predict the future, right?

But he, Li Mengxi, is a prophet of uncertainty.

I wonder what kind of terrain and mountains and roads there are in this Julu area. Why did Zhangjiao retreat and eventually retreat to Guangzong?

It's because when we retreat from Julu, no matter the distance or the terrain, we will naturally retreat to Guangzong.

As Li Mengxi analyzed before, military conquests in ancient times were all controlled by geographical advantages.

In any war, there must be terrain that is conducive to deploying military forces before there can be a war.

Therefore, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army in the Julu area. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turbans fought against the Julu army.

Extrapolating from this, since in the original history, Zhang Jiao was defeated and retreated to Guangzong instead of elsewhere, then no matter what the road was, there is a high probability that if Zhang Jiao's army in the Julu area retreated, the probability of retreating to Guangzong would be higher than that of retreating elsewhere.

The probability is much higher.

This is a little bit of knowledge that Li Mengxi realized based on the geographical advantage and reversed the changes in the military situation.

Having decided on its strategy, the army immediately turned south without hesitation.

The Xiliang cavalry spies who followed and followed are still following.

Regardless of the battle between Dong Zhuo and the Yellow Turbans, the rebels marched quickly but steadily according to their own marching route.

Two days later, I bumped into the Yellow Turban.

On the road and in the wilderness, it was like a deserted team, and the wilderness was full of human figures.

After the Rangers bumped into the Yellow Turban Brigade, they left immediately.

The Yellow Turbans were alert and reacted quickly when they saw the official cavalry appearing. There were Yellow Turban cavalrymen galloping back and forth shouting, and there were also Yellow Turban leaders calling for men to form a team.

The yellow scarves, scattered like ants, started to move towards the pile in a chaotic, slow and dull way.

Half an hour later, the Yellow Turbans magically gathered people together, forming a huge, deep and perverted giant formation that stretched across the road and extended into the desolate fields.

After the formation was formed, the Yellow Turban did not move and just stayed there.

It took another half an hour, but the officers and soldiers didn't come.

After another half an hour, the Yellow Turbans stayed for another hour and a half. Liu Bei's rebel army finally organized their troops and hurried on their way to the battlefield.

The two armies were confronting each other. Li Mengxi poked his head out from behind Guan Yu. He saw that the crowds of yellow-turbaned and black people were packed together and an unknown number of people were waiting in formation. Li Mengxi felt that with such a wide formation, even if the cavalry collided,

It may not necessarily break through.

The phalanx that Li Mengxi understood was a square array of hundreds of small squares neatly put together to form a long or square large phalanx. What he saw in front of him was really ten thousand or even several
