When the sun was rising, the rainy days of many days finally passed, Deng Mao walked out of the county office, bathed in the sunny and warm sunlight of Beixincheng, motionless, like a stone man. He is only in his thirties this year, tall and strong, with short flaws at the corners of his mouth, his skin is tanned by perennial farming, and his face is even more honest.

"Deputy Marshal Deng."

Deng Mao turned around when he heard the voice, it was Lu Wen, he was over forty years old this year, thin, with a yellow scarf wrapped around his head, he was originally the leader of Taiping Road in the area of Beixincheng, but he was arrested before the incident, and he was not released until Deng Mao captured Beixincheng, and now more than 1,000 party members have been gathered to join Deng Mao's side.

"Deputy Marshal, this rain has stopped, shouldn't we also go to Gu'an, there are still many of our Taiping Dao disciples who are locked up."

Deng Mao nodded. Originally, he had been marching for a day, but he didn't want to encounter even the rain, some of the old and weak in the team got the cold, in order not to spread the epidemic or more people to get sick, they were forced to retreat to the North New City to station, and now that they have survived the rainy day, it is time to go to the old peace.

"Yes, it's time to go, there are tens of thousands of my disciples in the entire Zhuo County, this is a big force, they must be saved." Deng Mao said as he passed by Lu Wen.

Lu Wen followed behind him, following in the footsteps, only to hear Deng Mao say: "I heard that this time you have an accident because of that official Liu Lan's advice?" ”

"Yes, it's that Liu Lan, known as the hungry wolf." When he said this name, Lu Wen simply gritted his teeth, eager to swallow his bones and eat his marrow, as if he had a great grudge.

"You know this person?" Deng Mao immediately became interested, because he had also heard of this person, but he didn't believe in the rumors on Fang Street, he didn't believe that this Liu Lan was eight hands, and he killed the Xianbei King by himself in Danhan Mountain, if this was the case, wouldn't it be more powerful than the great swordsman who entered Helan and beheaded King Hu that he met in his early years?

Lu Wen said: "Of course I know, now in Youzhou, except for Gongsun Zhan, this person is going to be the most popular, I heard that the county guard of Zhuo County personally came forward to recruit this person as the Zhuo County soldier, but I think this person is not one of those false anointments." ”

"It turns out that this person has come to Zhuo County, Ao ......" Deng Mao sighed, as if he had an understanding, and said: "I'll just say, where did the county soldiers dare to cross the Puhe River and swim in Beixincheng, can send scouts so far, it seems that this team is this Liu Lan's department under our noses?" ”

"It's almost inseparable, and this Liu Lan is rumored to be in Youzhou, I heard that he brought a thousand people to stab the Xianbei people in the grassland, and the Xianbei people even called him a hungry wolf, and hung a heavy reward for his head, if this person led the troops, it would be a little difficult to do."

"A little soldier Cao, I haven't put it in my eyes yet, but those wandering county soldiers must be destroyed."

"The deputy marshal is wise, otherwise it will be difficult for them to slip back to the Puhe River and defend the Puhe River and the Guyan Great Wall, which is the throat leading to Gu'an, Zhuoxian and even the entire Youzhou, if they are allowed to occupy the territory here, even if we capture it, the casualties will increase greatly."

"I just don't know if this person came from Youbeiping or brought Youzhou to ride over, Beixincheng to Puhe is a plain, a horse and a flat river, and there is no chance of winning in such a battlefield and cavalry."

"Probably not, they're not afraid of Hu people? Besides, even if we come, we have to fight, unless we don't enter Youzhou, but in that case, Cheng Qushuai and Gu Qushuai's plan will be ruined, not only that, but Gu Qushuai may even have the possibility of the entire army being wiped out. ”

Lu Wen's persuasion had an effect, not only because the Guangyang Gu Xionghu was imminent, but also because he wanted to meet the hungry wolf, of course, the most important point was that he could go all the way to Guangyang with the Gu Xionghu before Qu Shuai led the army, so that he would have the strength to control the entire Youzhou.

"Ruwen, I'll just ask you a question."

Deng Mao squinted at him and said, "Now that you follow me, I'll ask you a question, whether what Gu Xionghu said is true." ”

"Does the lieutenant believe it?"

"I don't believe it."

"That lieutenant is still ......"

"I don't believe it, and Qu Shuai doesn't believe it, but the great virtuous and good teacher General Tiangong believes it, so we came."

"I see." Lu Wen suddenly realized, and said: "Then this thing is true, you must know that Emperor Guangwu didn't rely on Youzhou ...... back then"

"Relying on Youzhou to ride suddenly, a good one to rely on Youzhou, if it doesn't work, do you want all of me to get on the horse and become a cavalry?"

"That's why the great sages and good teachers believe it."

Deng Mao was stunned, he seemed to understand the hardships of the great sage and good teacher, and even helplessly, his eyes were cold: "Order, the troops are assembled!" ”

~~~~~~~~

Liang Da's department began to retreat slowly after seeing a large number of yellow turban moth thieves pouring out of Beixincheng.

The speed of the Yellow Turban Thief's pursuit is very fast, Liang Da knows that no matter how slow he retreats, he will soon reach the Puhe River, but Liang Da did not choose this time to meet the attack, it is obvious that the thousand Yellow Turban Thieves who are pursuing in front of him are fat bait, just waiting for their own bait, as long as they engage in battle, then the army that has been following behind will inevitably swarm and completely surround them until they are annihilated.

Liang Da summoned the commanders of the tun and asked them to take care of the captains and the captains of the regiments were not allowed to engage the enemy without his orders, and now what to do is to maintain a good formation and retreat slowly, if it is really time to have to fight, he will play the flag and blow the horn. ”

The commanders were ordered to leave, but soon the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves sounded the horn of attack, and it was clear that they did not want to go on any more cat and mouse.

"Liang Buqu, what should I do, the Yellow Turban thieves have come up, let's do it with them." A tun chief said.

"No, our purpose is first to preserve our strength, the second is to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and finally to provide time for Li Xiang and them to rush to the Puhe River to block the Yellow Turban Thief, if we rush to block the enemy now, once a rout occurs, it is likely that the Yellow Turban Thief will pass through the Guò Waterfall River in one fell swoop, then our mission will be a complete failure, what face do we have to go back to see Sima?"

Liang Da rejected the Tun Chief's suggestion, and decisively ordered, saying: "Now the scout battalion has given up the surveillance of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, and has instead made every effort to detect the situation of the Waterfall River, as long as Li Xiang and them are found to arrive, be sure to come and inform them as soon as possible, and the others will withdraw with me, and there is no need to engage the Yellow Turban Thief for the time being."
