Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty couldn't wait to know what the strength of the first army of soldiers and horses to be formed was among the eight captains in the West Garden, and now Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun have all sent troops to recruit the Yellow Turban Sect. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered Wen Han to send troops to Jizhou to assist Lu Zhi and crusade against the thief's first horn.

After Wen Han received the order, he immediately prepared all the matters for sending troops. And the night before the troops, Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huangyan almost spent the night in Zhou Long's overly nervous and worried chatter. Later, if it weren't for, Cao Cao came over and wanted to say some auspicious congratulations before Wen Han sent out his troops. Then he suggested to Zhou Long that Wen Han and the others should rest early and recharge before they could lead the troops to fight. Only then did Zhou Long close his mouth and stop chattering.

On the second day, the Luoyang school field was lined up, Wen Han wore a white crown with bundled hair, a white robe with plum blossoms, a ring armor with Yama ghosts, a silver spear in his hand, and sat down to step on a cloud and black horse, ranking at the forefront of the formation, with extraordinary instruments and majestic style.

Guan Yu on the side was dressed in a parrot green robe, holding an eighty-two pound Qinglong Yanyue knife, a two-foot beautiful beard fluttering with the wind, a pair of Danfeng eyes blazing, riding a black lacquer horse, standing there as if the momentum of the mountain pressed.

And Xu Huang, although he is young, is dressed in grimace and black armor, showing his murderous aura, and the cold light of the big axe in his hand is constant, as if he is eager for blood, and he is constantly screaming and calling.

He Jin is a general, of course he came to send it, he saw that these three people were young and promising, and their momentum was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but sigh. It's really a hero out of a teenager.

"Report to the General! The whole army is ready to go! ”

"Good! Wen Bufan! The old man is waiting for the good news that you will make immortal achievements again in Luoyang! ”

"It will live up to the general's expectations!"

After Wen Han finished reporting to He Jin, who was standing on the parade platform, He Jin took the lead in drinking Zhuangxing wine, and everyone drank it, and they all smashed their wine glasses to the ground to express their determination to return triumphantly.

After that, under the order of He Jin, Wen Han led the army to set off and walked out of the Luoyang City Gate, and many people greeted each other outside the city gate. The people of Luoyang were enthusiastic, and they sent Wen Han's team of 5,000 soldiers and horses for two miles before they were willing to return.

Wen Han led the army to rush to the starry night, with little rest all the way, and rushed to Jizhou. Five days later, Wen Han caught up with the army led by Lu Zhi, Wen Han led Guan Yu and Xu Huang into the army to give gifts, and Lu Zhi was overjoyed, stayed in front of the tent to listen to the tune, and had a long talk with the Wen Han brothers.

Lu Zhi was kind to Wen Han, and that day he was slandered for colluding with the Qianghu people, and Lu Zhi stood up to speak for him. Wen Han thanked again and again for this.

Lu Zhi smiled: "The old man and Cai Feibai are close friends, and the champion is a friend. Before leaving, he had many instructions to let the old man take care of Yu Ru for him.

You have an upright character, know etiquette and understand righteousness, and are young and promising. The future of the Han family needs to be supported by these young people such as you. Therefore, the old man should also speak out to help.

only hated the power of the eunuch dog faction, and the saint did not listen to the advice of the old man, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song. If it weren't for Uncle He Guo and others exposing the collusion between the rebel vassal and the Yellow Turban Sect, and relieving your innocence, I am afraid that you would have died in Huangquan here. Huh... The eunuch is a haunt. When will the Holy One wake up? ”

Lu Zhi said, a gust of wind just blows, blowing Lu Zhi's white hair and growing old. Wen Han saw that his eyes were red and there were tears in his eyes, so he immediately spoke up and persuaded him. After Lu Zhi sighed, he was very fond of the three Wenhan brothers, and told them all about their experience in marching and fighting.

After several days, Lu Zhi's 50,000 army and Zhang Jiao's 15th army confronted each other in the northern area of Jizhou, and the two sides only fought a few small battles, and the main forces of the two sides never had a head-to-head confrontation.

At this time, the world was invaded by the Yellow Turban bandits, and Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang were the leading centers of the uprising, and they were active in the Jizhou area. The Yellow Turban Army led by Bocai Peng Tuo controlled the front line of Yingchuan, Runan, and Chenguo, and became the main force in the east. Among them, Buji's troops were active in the area of Dongjun, and Zhang Mancheng raised troops to mutiny in Wancheng, and the soldiers committed the area of Nanyang. Everywhere in it, there were soldiers and horses led by the commanders of all sides who continued to attack the states and counties.

The war spread throughout the Han world. Zhang Jiao's thieves were powerful, and Lu Zhi did not move for the time being. I also heard that the Yellow Turban thief commanded Cheng Yuanzhi to command 50,000 troops to commit Zhuo County, Youzhou. After Lu Zhi and Wen Han discussed, because the army and Zhang Jiao's army were now holding each other, there should be no major war for half a month, so it was decided to let Wen Han lead his soldiers and horses to solve the danger of Zhuo County first.

After Wen Han received the order, he reorganized his soldiers and horses, did not dare to be slow, avoided Zhang Jiao's troops, and rushed to Zhuo County, Youzhou.

Although Cheng Yuanzhi led a large number of thieves, with a total of 50,000 people, Wen Han did not pay too much attention to the number of thieves. Because, most of the Yellow Turban thieves are composed of ordinary people and peasants, who have not undergone strict training, in other words, a rabble.

Wen Han led the army to Zhuo County, and Zhuo County Taishou saw that there was a rescue, and immediately went out of the city gate to greet him. Later, in the conversation with Wen Han, he learned that Wen Han was one of the eight captains of the West Garden newly established by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and he was overjoyed, and handed over the power of 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city to Wen Han, so that Wen Han was fully responsible for the war with Cheng Yuanzhi's thief army.

Wen Han also learned from the mouth of the Taishou of Zhuojun that at this time, Cheng Yuanzhi's 50,000 thief army was entrenched on Daxing Mountain, ten miles outside the city. After Wen Han heard this, he and Guan Yu and Xu Huang took a team of twenty soldiers and horses out of Zhuojun City and went to Daxing Mountain to observe the enemy's situation.

Daxing Mountain is thousands of meters above sea level, the jungle is dense, and Cheng Yuanzhi's soldiers and horses camp in the mountains. Wen Han looked at it, and the mountains were densely packed with tents of thieves.

Wen Han thought for a while, smiled, and secretly slandered Cheng Yuanzhi, who led the troops, for not having any common sense of leading the troops to fight, at this time, the weather was hot, the air in this mountain was dry, and if there was a fire, the spread would be extremely fast.

"The third brother has a clever plan to deal with the enemy?"

Guan Yu saw Wen Han with a smile on his lips, and immediately guessed that Wen Han had already come up with a plan, so he couldn't help but ask.

"The thieves set up camp according to the trees, and the weather is hot again, and the air in the mountains is crisp, so they should be attacked with fire."

"Good! So, I'll get back to the city and get ready! ”

After the Wenhan brothers led the team and rushed back to Zhuojun, Zhuojun was too anxious when he heard that they had returned, so he rushed to the place where Wenhan and the others were resting, and asked Wenhan if he had any way to deal with the enemy. Wen Han was trying to find the Zhuojun Taishou and ask him to cooperate in giving arson materials such as arrows and fire oil.

Zhuojun Taishou knew that Wen Han had a method, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly prepared these arson materials for Wen Han as promised, and then asked Wen Han when he planned to burn the mountain.

"If the northwest wind blows tonight, the mountain can be burned."

Daxing Mountain is located in the northwest direction, there are many thieves, in order to prevent it from being able to put out the fire in time, it is still necessary to rely on the help of the wind to increase the fire of the mountain.

Zhuojun Taishou is obedient to Wen Han, what kind of character is Wen Han? Let's not mention that he conquered Qianghu in Shuofang, Bingzhou, and made great achievements and won the name of the literary champion. The aura on his body, one of the eight captains of the West Garden, was enough to prove his ability. The eight captains of the West Garden were personally ordered by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to form, claiming that they would become the eight most powerful soldiers and horses in the world, and proclaimed the world.

There are no vain soldiers under the fame, which is also the reason why the Taishou of Zhuojun did not hesitate to hand over all the soldiers and horses of Zhuojun to him as soon as he heard of Wen Han's name, and let him be in charge of the war with the Yellow Turban Thieves.

After Zhuojun Taishou expressed his understanding, he hurriedly went back and asked people to prepare the arson materials that Wen Han needed.

At night, on Daxing Mountain outside the city of Zhuo County.

Cheng Yuanzhi stood on the top of the mountain, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Zhuojun, he was seven feet ten inches tall with a waistline, he looked as strong as a cow, his muscles were hard and protruding, and he was masculine.

"I heard that a court soldier came to Zhuo County today, and it is one of the eight captains of the West Garden formed by the faint monarch recently, and the leader is the champion Wen who defeated the inmates and ruled Shuofang Qianghu. Although this man is young, his ability to lead the army in battle is very good. It seems that it will not be easy to capture this Zhuo County. ”

Cheng Yuanzhi sighed solemnly, and Deng Mao, the deputy general next to him, frowned when he heard this, and said with a little disdain.

"General Cheng's words can be said for a long time, and other people's ambitions will destroy their own prestige. I heard that there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses here, and with the 10,000 troops of Zhuojun, it is only 15,000.

We are waiting for the Yellow Turban Army to be more than three times the number of soldiers and horses in the court, and in this situation of disparity in strength, even if Champion Nawen has the ability to reach the sky, I don't believe that he can do anything earth-shattering. ”

Cheng Yuanzhi shook his head secretly when he heard this, and said in his heart that this Deng Mao was too high, Cheng Yuanzhi had been a bandit, and he couldn't fight a lot with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and he knew that he was powerful. And now he led the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army, although the number is large, but the quality is uneven, only about three or four thousand, who have experienced the baptism of war, and most of the others are peasants. Once you start fighting, you may be tired from lack of training.

On the side of the imperial court's soldiers and horses, not to mention that the leader is a prestigious literary champion, I heard that most of the soldiers and horses under his command are palace guards, and the guards can protect the palace, and they must be the elite with the strongest combat power. Although the quantity is not much, the victory lies in the high quality, and if its own Yellow Turban Army fights against it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can defeat one against ten.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yuanzhi sighed again, looking at Zhuojun in the distance, his face became more and more solemn.

"Hey, it's windy. Great, it's a northwest wind. In the past few days, I have been tormented to death by this ghost weather, especially in this Daxing Mountain, where the woods are dense and the weather is dry, so hot that I can't sleep at night, and I sweat. The sergeants and soldiers of the army are also very energetic because of this. ”

A gust of wind struck, blowing Deng Mao's whole body cool, and he couldn't help but babble a few words. After hearing this, Cheng Yuanzhi on the side frowned, as if he had noticed something, but he didn't know what the problem was, so he kept standing there, bowing his head and pondering. Seeing this, Deng Mao ignored him and left on his own.

After half a pillar of incense, Cheng Yuanzhi thought about it for a long time, his heart kept pounding, and an ominous premonition made his head hurt, and his brain twitched.
