Chapter 244: The plan is in trouble

Yuan Shao learned that the Yellow Turban Army was in disagreement, and the Yellow Turban generals who fought wanted to rebel and surrender to the official army! How could such a great thing be out of the way? He thought for a moment and decided to do it alone!

Yuan Shao had just arrived at Julu, and his heels had not yet stood firm, but as soon as he arrived, the Yellow Turban Army had an internal strife, and the reason was the victory he fought during the day. If he hadn't done anything, that would have been fine, but it was because of him, the Yellow Turban Army, and in this way, he would not have the reason to give the credit to others.

He did not intend to tell Huangfu Song about recruiting the Yellow Turban Army that Huangfu Song had surrounded Julu for so long and had no merit, but once he came, the Yellow Turban Army would surrender. From this point of view, Huangfu Song was not a famous general, far inferior to him. Just as He Jin told him, as long as he could make some contributions, He Jin would work hard in Luoyang to make Yuan Shao the commander of the army!

Yuan Shao thought to himself: "It turns out that there is really a step to reach the sky in this world, and I have encountered it! Such a great opportunity, how can I give up!"

He immediately raised his troops, left the barracks, rushed towards Julu, and all tens of thousands of Yulin troops were dispatched to follow him to recruit the Yellow Turban Army!

So many soldiers and horses left the camp in the middle of the night, and the Han generals were ignorant. The soldiers and generals stood up one after another, left the tent, and watched the Yulin Army. They didn't know what was going on, so they could only guess randomly, but no one guessed that some of the Yellow Turban Army was going to surrender, and they thought that Yuan Shao was going to make a contribution, so they couldn't wait and wanted to attack Julu!

The Han soldiers reported this to Huangfu Song, and the Han soldiers who reported the news naturally did not dare to guess and think about it. The scouts who were scattered outside the camp had already seen the confidant, but the Yulin Army went up to intercept the confidant, so they did not dare to go and snatch people from the Yulin Army. However, after the Yulin Army brought the confidant to Yuan Shao, in a short while, the Yulin Army went out of the camp, but the scouts of the Han army could see clearly, so they naturally reported to Huangfu Song as they did!

When Huangfu Song heard this, he showed an angry expression on his face. He had endured enough to Yuan Shao. As a general, his temper was not too gentle. If he hadn't been afraid of Yuan Shao's identity, could he be so polite to Yuan Shao? But Yuan Shao was too ungrateful and really regarded him as a figure. He dared not obey orders and sent troops without authorization. Do he take him as the head coach seriously?

A large group of generals came in outside the tent, all of whom were Huangfu Song's subordinates. Everyone was surprised. They asked what was wrong. The Yulin Army actually attacked alone. It was Huangfu Song's order? Why did you let the Yulin Army go out alone and don't want the army to cooperate?

Huangfu Song's face was extremely ugly. He simply said the story, but there was nothing to hide.

When the generals heard this, they were all shocked. They were even more surprised than seeing the Yulin Army going out to camp alone. Without the command of the commander, Yuan Shao dared to attack Julu without authorization. Is he a broken mind, or there is something else.

A general's mind was relatively quick, and he said, "General, Yuan Shao led his troops out of the camp when he saw the Yellow Turban Army. Could it be that he had a detailed task in the Yellow Turban Army and learned about the news about the Yellow Turban Army, so he was in a hurry to attack?"

After hearing this, other generals also understood that the taste was over and said, "Yuan Shao is so anxious to attack and has not reported to the general yet. It is not because he has received some important news. He will win if he knows that he will not give the credit to the general, right?"

Without reminding them, Huangfu Song had already figured out this, and the more he thought about it, he became more angry. He slapped the table and said angrily: "Then let him make contributions, let us wait and see what contributions he made come back!"

The generals looked at each other and thought to themselves: "Don't you really care about Yuan Shao? At this time, we shouldn't wait in the camp, but should follow us and run to get a share of the pie. Isn't it too stupid to know that Yuan Shao can get the credit, but we don't share the points?"

They were about to persuade Huangfu Song, but they saw Huangfu Song waved impatiently and asked them to go out. The generals could not do so, so they could only withdraw from the big tent. After leaving the big tent, they gathered together to discuss the matter, cursing Yuan Shao's domineeringness, and were jealous of the credit that Yuan Shao was about to receive, and were very jealous of the credit Yuan Shao was about to receive.

Suddenly, a general said, "There is a lot of trouble for Yuan Shao to be so unrighteous and attack without authorization. If General Huangfu wants to stop him or send someone to call him back, it will be time-consuming, but why would General Huangfu not do this?"

The generals calmed down together, and none of them were stupid. The incident happened suddenly, and Huangfu Song was vague again. He just lost his temper but did not tell them what to do. So it was understandable that everyone was "confused" for a while. Now when someone reminded him, everyone immediately understood what was going on!

A general laughed dryly and said, "That Yuan Shao seems to be quite immature, far less experienced than General Huangfu. He will definitely suffer a great loss this time!"

Another general snorted and said, "He wants to make meritorious service. If he doesn't call us, then let him go. Just pretend that he doesn't know that this is the case!"

The other generals all pointed and sneered a few times. They didn't distinguish between Yuan Shao's credit and pretended not to know. In other words, if Yuan Shao was in trouble, they could pretend not to know. After they figured out this, the generals were dispersed and they went to do whatever they should do!

Yuan Shao roared out of the camp with the Yulin Army and followed his confidant toward Julu. The Yulin Army marched for several days, fought another battle during the day, and at night, he was prevented from robbing the camp. He had not had a rest. Most of the soldiers in the army were already exhausted. Now they followed Yuan Shao out of the camp, so they could only grit their teeth and stand up. They guess Yuan Shao was leading them to make meritorious contributions. They must have known some news about the Yellow Turban Army. Otherwise, they could not be so anxious. Even Huangfu Song did not inform him and came out directly. This is because they were afraid of being divided!

After running straight for more than twenty miles, he still didn't see the Yellow Turban Army leaving the city. Yuan Shao was a little anxious and called a team of scouts and said, "You go ahead and see how far is the thief from us!"

The scouts received the order and rushed forward immediately.

Yuan Shao led the brigade and continued to rush back, but the speed was no longer as good as when he first left the camp. Many Yulin soldiers were already shaking left and right. These master soldiers had never suffered this crime. If it weren't for Yuan Shao's sake, someone would have cursed at this time!

After a while, a scout finally came back. The scout told Yuan Shao that there was indeed a Yellow Turban Army ahead, with less than 20,000 people, all of them were infantry, and they were walking slowly!

After hearing the report, Yuan Shao called the confidant of the Yellow Turban General and said, "The less than 20,000 infantry dares to fight against the cavalry of this general with more than 10,000. This general will definitely win, but I am willing to give your generals a chance to surrender to the court. So how do you plan to prove your sincerity in surrendering?"

The confidant didn't understand what he said, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder what the general wants the young people to do? What should we use to prove it?"

Yuan Shao said: "It was Zhang Bao who led the troops, right?"

The confidant hurriedly said, "It's indeed Zhang Bao. He is walking at the back and is considered a general. The main battle is the ones who are the soldiers."

Yuan Shao said: "You go and kill Zhang Bao. As long as you take Zhang Bao's head to see this general, I will not only allow you to surrender, but also after surrender, I will also incorporate you into the official army. Your general will be able to serve as an official position and enjoy wealth and honor from now on."

After a pause, he suddenly glared at his eyes and said loudly: "But if you can't bring up Zhang Bao's head, it proves that you are not really surrendering, but want to trick me! The mud-legged generals who go back and tell you that even if they don't surrender, the tens of thousands of iron hooves of this general can be enough to trample them into meat paste!"

This was quite rude and insulted. As a child of the top wealthy family of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao didn't think there was anything wrong with him saying this. He just told the truth. The Yellow Turban Army was full of mud-legged sluts. The generals among them were not mud-legged sluts, or was it something else?

The confidant moved his mouth. He was a poor man. He had read several books and had a relatively flexible mind. Only then could he be sent by those brave generals as confidants to contact Yuan Shao. He was insulted in public by Yuan Shao and thought to himself: "Even if we surrender to the government army, we probably can't have any good life. But we have already reached this point. What else can we do?"

He clasped his fists at Yuan Shao and said to his confidant: "The villain will definitely bring General Yuan's order to my general!" As he said that, he beat the horse and left.

The confidant ran all the way and soon returned to the Yellow Turban Army. When the brave generals saw him back, they surrounded him together and asked anxiously: "What did the government army say? Have you agreed to recruit us?"

The confidant said, "Of course, they wish we could surrender. But the young man did not see Huangfu Song, but he saw the general of the Yulin Army, named Yuan Shao, who promised us to surrender, but he looked down on us very much and had to let us take Zhang Bao's head, otherwise he would send a large army over. He brought 10,000 cavalry, all of them, Yulin Army, saying that even if we don't surrender, he could still lead our troops to trample all of us into meat paste!"

The handsome generals looked ugly. They could not be regarded as begging for surrender from the government army now. They were not that far. But even if they were not begging for surrender, they looked down on them so much. If they really beg for surrender... I guess a series of defeats will not need them to surrender. Those who rebel will be killed. The government army will definitely be able to do such a thing!

The generals discussed and said that since they wanted to take Zhang Bao's head as a guarantee of surrender, they would take it. Anyway, Zhang Bao was behind. As long as he was deceived, he would just be killed with one knife! But they were afraid that they would not be able to kill Zhang Bao. If Zhang Bao escaped, they would not be able to surrender to the official army if they could not get Zhang Bao's head. At that time, the Yellow Turban Army would also kill them, and the official army would also kill them. Wouldn't that be bad!

The generals decided to introduce Zhang Bao into a forest. At that time, they killed Zhang Bao. Even if Zhang Bao resisted, they could not get away quickly in the forest. They would have a greater chance of succeeding!

As soon as the idea was agreed, the generals immediately led their troops into a forest using the excuse of being too tired. Zhang Bao behind them was indeed anxious and sent someone to urge them not to rest and had to continue on the way. However, the generals did not obey the command. Zhang Bao was furious and was indeed deceived and came in person!
