Chapter 257: Cheng Yuanzhi
Looking at the Han army that disappeared without a trace like a whirlwind cloud, Deng Mao slowly reined in the reins of the horse, and Lu Wen on the side looked at the dust in the distance, and stammered slightly: "Are these the Youzhou Raiders in Liu Lan's hands?" ”
Deng Mao shook his head, his riding skills are not very good, and the lying person below can barely get on the horse's back when he steps on his back, but it is difficult to run on the horse's back and want to be happy, and judging from the riding skill level of these cavalrymen just now, it is not much different from him, if they are really Youzhou Turquoise cavalry in Youbeiping, can they still carry Donghu?
So these people are not really cavalry, but there is another possibility, and that is ......
Deng Mao looked back, his heart immediately sank, the team was divided and messy, how could there be a shadow of the army, it was like a large group of people fleeing from the famine, like a mang's back, if the Han army was just deliberately doing this, but the purpose was to scatter the formation, so as to turn back and strike a blow, wouldn't it be really a big defeat today? And judging from the current form, if the Han army really thinks like this, then their strategy has already succeeded.
was so panicked that Deng Mao couldn't take care of it anymore, and opened his mouth to shout: "Reorganize the formation and stop advancing; Regroup and stop moving. ”
"Deputy Marshal, why don't you chase it?" Lu Wen on the side asked a little puzzled, in fact, he had to chase after it in his heart, he knew the name of the Youzhou Raid, if there were only some county soldiers on the other side, he naturally didn't pay attention to it, but when he saw them riding a big horse, there was a thought in his heart, whether it was a raid or not, it was best not to provoke, even if he provoked, he would have to wait for Qu Shuai Cheng Zhiyuan to bring the team over and then provoke.
Deng Mao glanced at him coldly, and said very dissatisfied: "Chase, chase a fart, two legs can catch up with other people's four legs?" And I talked about the day to keep the formation when I marched, and this is the formation you promised me? Fortunately, they only have a thousand people, if there are a few more thousand, won't they be defeated today? ”
"The last general is convicted."
"Guilty? Confessing guilt and not going to reorganize the army? ”
Deng Mao glanced at Fan Peng coldly, if today's situation reappears, will there be such good luck?

Soon after Liang retreated, the messenger sent by Sima appeared beside him, first of all, Li Xiang and the three of them still had three or five days to reach the Puhe, Sima meant to delay the Yellow Turban Moth thief on the premise of ensuring that there were no major casualties, and at the critical moment he was allowed to retreat to the front line of the Guyan Great Wall of Xiangshan Puhe for defense, but the bottom line was Xiangshan, people were in the mountain, and people were dead in the mountain.
Liu Lan's meaning is obvious, the Xiangshan Waterfall River Guyan Great Wall is a defensive belt, but when it comes to danger, it is natural to count Xiangshan, although he is not a continuous group of mountains, but it is more advantageous than the Waterfall River Guyan Great Wall, so Liu Lan gave such a death order, or Liu Lan was afraid that Liang Da would be angry and really sent these infantry as cavalry to the Guyan Great Wall of Waterfall River to resist the enemy.
Of course, Liang Da saw what Sima meant, and he didn't see that the Puhe River was the first choice for cavalry, whether it was half-crossing or sneak attack and harassment to deal with the more than 10,000 yellow turban moth thieves, it was no problem, but the problem was that they were all infantry and cavalry with weak combat ability, so the battlefield could only be placed in Xiangshan and the Guyan Great Wall, but the Guyan Great Wall was built of stone and soil. So when Sima said that he was allowed to retreat to the front line of the Xiangshan Puhe Guyan Great Wall, he chose Xiangshan, and this can almost be said to coincide between the two, and it can even be said that people with a little military knowledge can see it.
Because of this, he was worried about how to attract the Yellow Turban Moth Thief to Xiangshan on the western line instead of the east line of the Yan Great Wall and the middle line of the Puhe River, you must know that no matter from the three lines, there is only one end point, that is, Gu'an City, and from the current situation, the general of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief is a person with certain military talent, so the probability that he will not pursue the first line of Xiangshan is very great, and at that time they will definitely go straight to Gu'an, with the current strength of the defenders of Gu'an City, I am afraid that the result will be the same as that of Beixincheng, and it will be down overnight.
Therefore, Liang Da decided not to obey Sima's orders and conveyed his thoughts to Sima through a messenger, he wanted to change the location of the Yellow Turban to the Great Wall of Xiangshan Puhe Guyan, and if it was really a last resort, he would choose to fight to the death.
All the tun chiefs saw Liang Da's determination to see death as if he were at home, and a righteous and awe-inspiring expression appeared on their faces, and even a few people had already proposed to go to the chosen battle site to investigate the terrain now, so that they could wait for the Yellow Turban Moth Thief there, but Liang Da did not agree, it was a last resort to go there for a decisive battle, and the best way was to delay the speed of the Yellow Turban Thief by harassing and attacking.
Everyone suddenly realized that the current slow march of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves was very time-consuming, and if they were coupled with their daily harassment, it was likely to delay them and buy them time for Li Xiang and them to rush to the front line of Xiangshan before the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves.

The Juma River is turbulent, like the Milky Way pouring down and rolling waves. On the pontoon bridge, a group of soldiers was passing from above in a uniform manner.
Cheng Zhiyuan was stationed by the Ma River, looking at the rolling Juma water, once upon a time he was wandering in the two states of Youji, and he was very familiar with the South Juma River, if it were not for the heavy rain for several days, the Juma River would not be as turbulent as this.
Although Tang Zhou's whistleblowing was forced to raise things in advance, who would have thought that last year's drought would make more small farmers desperate, and as a result, more and more people would join in after the incident, scrambling to devote themselves to the decisive battle with the Han Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that after getting the news of the arrest of the believers in Youzhou, the great virtuous and good master dared to send him, the Fang Qu Shuai, to lead the troops to invade Youzhou, and once he mastered Youzhou and was able to obtain war horses from the Hu people, then Taiping Dao could truly establish a thousand years of meritorious deeds.
Of course, it was not his original intention to attack Youzhou to obtain war horses and prepare for the cavalry, it was Gu Xionghu who came up with it, because most of his subordinates were warriors who mastered the art of controlling strings, and because of this, the great sage and good teacher planned day and night, considering the gains and losses in all aspects, especially the battle situation in Jizhou, before finally making up his mind to send Cheng Zhiyuan to Youzhou with troops.
But what really made Cheng Yuanzhi look at it was not the cavalry in the mouth of Guangyang Gu Xionghu, but that he heard that Zhuo County had captured tens of thousands of party members, if he could defeat Zhuo County, then he could become a generous Qu Shuai from a small square Qu Shuai, or even a Qu Shuai who led the entire Youzhou.
Looking at the group of soldiers who quickly passed through the Guò Horse Water Pontoon Bridge, thinking that the tens of thousands of party members who had been imprisoned in Zhuo County were about to become his subordinates, Cheng Zhiyuan's face finally put on a smile like a child getting a gift.
Charming smile.
