Chapter 41
Yingchuan, outside Changshe City.

Yellow Turbans base camp.

Bo Cai was thinking about how to gnaw off the tough bone of Changsha.

Suddenly I heard that someone came to report.

"He's handsome! The propaganda envoy is here!"

what?
How did he come here?

When Bocai heard Liu Yi's visit, he was slightly taken aback.

Liu Yi didn't come sooner or later, why did he come at this time?

Could it be?
Seeing that he was about to beat Huangfusong and the others by a large margin, came here to share a piece of the pie and seize his credit?
He is different from Zhang Mancheng.

Bo Cai, who was born in a poor family, has read poetry and books since he was a child, and his ambition is greater than that of Zhang Mancheng.

He respects Liu Yi on the surface, but secretly competes with each other.

I hope to replace Liu Yi and become No.1 under Zhang Jiao's three brothers.

The relationship between him and Liu Yi is delicate, not bad but not as good as imagined.

Bo Cai is different from Zhang Mancheng. He will take the initiative to hand over the leadership to Liu Yi, and he is willing to let Liu Yi drive him.

He is more eager to take power, revive the family, and become a master.

Now Liu Yi is here.

As Zhang Jiao's eldest disciple, his titular elder brother, Liu Yi will inevitably restrain him in his actions in the future.

This is not a good thing for Pocai.

But reluctance is reluctance, etiquette cannot be discarded.

Now that Liu Yi is here, he naturally cannot ignore it.

He hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare a feast for Liu Yi and the others.

He took a group of his men and went out to greet him.

"Eldest senior brother has been exhausted all the way. I have ordered my servants to set up a banquet to clean up the dust for the brothers. Senior senior brother, hurry up and invite me inside."

Bocai had a smile on his face and showed great enthusiasm.

Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Bocai's army was of course safe.

He came in time, so it was worthwhile for him to hurry all the way.

"Haha, junior brother has a heart!
This bumpy road almost broke Brother Wei apart. "

Accompanied by Bo Cai and other generals, Liu Yi led Bai Qi and others into the camp.

"Thanks for your hard work, big brother!"

Bocai smiled apologetically, but couldn't help complaining in his heart, so why don't you come?

Liu Yi washed up a little before heading to the banquet.

Seeing him coming, everyone dared to start eating.

Liu Yi wasn't reserved either, and kept his head buried, just cooking like crazy.

He almost ate dry food and drank cold water along the way.

It's been a long time since I had a serious meal and had a hot meal.

Now let go of eating.

After a gust of wind swept through the clouds, the table was messed up.

Bo Cai and the others looked at each other, the corners of their mouths twitching.

If it weren't for knowing that Liu Yi was in Wancheng, killing Chu Gong and defeating Qin Jie one after another, he would have been in the limelight in Nanyang for a while.

Momentum is picking up.

They all suspected that Liu Yi had fled here for food.

Liu Yi doesn't care about the eyes of everyone, nor what they think in their hearts, or how they think of themselves.

Drain the broth from the bowl.

Liu Yi burped and patted his belly.

"Thank you brother for your hospitality.

Brother Wei has been looking for you in such a hurry these days, he was only on his way, and he hasn't eaten these hot meals for a long time, which makes you laugh! "

"Hey! Eldest brother is out!
If the elder brother is not full, I will ask the kitchen to make it for you! "

Bocai seemed very enthusiastic.

In my heart, I am more and more sure of my previous thoughts.

Liu Yi rushed to the Changshe in a hurry, he must be afraid that he would take the Changsha and send troops to Luoyang.

He deliberately came here to share a piece of the pie, so that even if he leads the army to destroy the Changshe and capture Luoyang, Liu Yi can still get a lot of credit.

It's really a good plan.

Liu Yi shook his hand, indicating that he was full.

He went straight to the point and asked knowingly: "How does the younger brother plan to capture Changsha?"

"Zhu Jun and Huangfusong are two fools with false names, and I beat them to the point where they are powerless.

Now I'm hiding in Changshe City like a turtle with a shrunken head. Let me declare war and scold me in every possible way, but I just avoid fighting.

The Han army occupied the advantage of the city wall, so they could not fight by force.

I want to set up camp without fighting, and cut off their connection and supply with the outside world.

When all the food and supplies are exhausted, the Changsha will be destroyed without attack! "

He repeatedly attacked the city without success.

Unable to attack for a long time, Bocai could only retreat and use the method of siege.

"If the imperial court sends troops to reinforce the Changsha, what should the younger brother do?"

"It's okay!
I have enough soldiers and food, if the imperial court does not send troops to reinforce those two old men, let it go, if they dare to send troops to reinforce them, they will never come back! "

Bo Cai said this with full confidence.

It has been more than two months since the uprising.

He led his troops to win consecutive battles.

Except for Changsha, the land of Yingchuan is under his control.

A series of brilliant victories made him even more capable.

Especially after defeating Zhu Jun and other famous generals of the Han army, he became more and more inflated.

In his opinion, Zhu Jun, Huangfusong and his like are the ones who put in labels and sell their heads.

The army they lead is like paper, vulnerable to a single blow.

He didn't pay attention to the other party at all.

Seeing that Bocai had the chance to win, Liu Yi lost his respect for Zhu Jun and Huangfusong.

It is not unreasonable to lament that arrogant soldiers will be defeated.

Surrounding without fighting is not a long-term solution in his opinion.

With 10,000+ troops under Bocai, the food and grass he needs to consume is far higher than that of the Han army.

The longer the delay, the more Bo Caijun will consume.

Liu Yi stopped beating around the bush and said straight to the point:
"Brother, when you come, you can see that the camps of the younger brother are covered with thatch, and the younger brother must not underestimate the enemy.

If the opponent takes the opportunity to attack with fire, the consequences will be disastrous. "

Hearing Liu Yi's words, Bo Cai was stunned for a moment.

He really didn't think of this.

But he still insisted on using the tactics of encircling and not fighting.

Fighting a war of attrition can greatly consume the fighting spirit of the opponent.

When the opponent's food and grass are exhausted, Changsha can be won in one battle.

Seeing that Liu Yi wanted to say more, Bocai was a little impatient:
"Since the soldiers encircled Changsha, there has been no strong wind for days, so what if the Han army attacked with fire."

"The Han army is located in the northeast, and our army is located in the southwest. Now that it is summer, there will always be a southeast wind.

The younger brother built the camp according to the grass, if the Han army set fire to the camp, then the fire will be supported by the wind, and the wind will help the fire..."

Speaking of this, Liu Yi deliberately paused, and then said earnestly:
"Zhu Jun and Huangfusong are very cunning, junior brother has to be on guard!"

"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother. I ordered the soldiers to be careful, and I will not give the Han army an opportunity."

Bo Cai said so, but he didn't take Liu Yi's words to heart.

He preconceived that Liu Yi was deliberately shaking his will and determination.

He wants to use this excuse to intervene in his formation, so that he can count the fruits of victory on his head.

Seeing Bocai's perfunctory words, Liu Yi knew that he didn't take this seriously.

It's not Bocai's fault.

If he hadn't known the ending of history in advance, if it was him, he wouldn't have believed that Bo would lose, and even lose so badly.

He was glad that he had come in person.

If it were Zhang Mancheng, Bo Cai might not even take this matter to heart.

Liu Yi also knew that his words had shaken the morale of the army a bit, given that the Bocai army had such an advantage.

Still growing others' ambitions, destroying one's own prestige, and saying these despondent words.

It was because he had the status of a senior brother that Bo Cai listened patiently to him.

If it were someone else, Bo Cai would have pulled him down and chopped him down.

Following Bocai's words, Liu Yi continued:
"In addition to ordering the soldiers to be careful, Junior Brother, the fire attack of the Han army in Changsha.

We must also pay attention to the west and south sides of Changshe.

The reinforcements from Zhu Jun, Huangfusong and the others must come from these two directions, and the three armies surrounded the juniors from both inside and outside. "

"Elder brother, don't worry, if they are really like this..."

Bo Cai, who hadn't taken it seriously at first, finally looked at Liu Yi squarely for the first time after analyzing Liu Yi's words.

Could it be that he really judges the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and Liu Yi is not that kind of person?
