Chapter 8 Saber Rattling Section 3

At dusk, Li Hong stood on the gate of Yanmen with a heavy heart, looking at the rolling mountains in the twilight, speechless for a long time.

Today, he first received the news that the Yellow Turban Guo Taibu had captured Pingyang City. After the military discussion, Zhu Mu and Song Wen immediately found him and persuaded him to suspend his journey north and see how the situation developed.

Then he received an urgent letter from the Hun Zhonglang General Kojiyi. Lu Yi said in the letter that since the Son of Heaven ordered the requisition of the Xiongnu iron cavalry, after King Zuo Xian led the troops to the expedition, rumors began to fly all over the Huns, and the rumors said that the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty will also recruit more Xiongnu soldiers to the Youzhou battlefield to quell the rebellion, saying that the purpose of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is to completely eliminate the Huns, the Huns are panicked because of this, people's hearts are fluctuating, and the leaders of the tribes often gather to discuss matters, and the atmosphere is very tense. Lu Yi also heard from Dadan Yu Qiangqu that the Tu tribe, the Right tribe and the Xianbei Tuoba tribe have been in close contact recently, and the two sides have been in frequent contact, as if there is some conspiracy. Koji Yi also meant to tell him to suspend his journey north and wait.

But with the Son of Heaven came the decree. The Son of Heaven urged him to go north immediately, and Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, had already gathered 20,000 troops and set off, and was advancing to Zhuojun to attack, and the Son of Heaven warned him not to delay the fighter, so as not to let Liu Yu's army go deep alone and encounter accidents.

Li Hong was not only worried about the safety of the state, but also worried about the war situation in Youzhou, and it was difficult to choose for a while, and he wavered between going and not leaving.

"Gongding, has Yanmen County always been so desolate?" Li Hong asked suddenly.

Zhu Mu shook his head and said, "There was a time when it was very prosperous here, and it was during the period of Emperor Yuan of this dynasty. At that time, the dynasty used the policy of "harmony" in exchange for the tranquility of the border, the two sides did not fight for decades, it is said that at that time, "the city is far away, the cattle and horses are wild, there is no dog barking police in the third world, and there is no battle in Li Shu", the people live in abundance, live and work in peace and contentment, but it is a pity that ......"

Zhu Mu sighed: "After the Great Qin Shi Huang of the previous dynasty unified the six countries, he sent the general Meng Tian to lead 300,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu from the north of Yanmen, and collected the land of Henan (that is, the Hetao area), drove the Xiongnu to the north of Yinshan, and built the Great Wall, but still failed to stop the invasion of the Xiongnu. In this dynasty, the land of Yanmen is even more changeable. When Emperor Gaozu, the Huns had repeatedly crossed the hook in the south, invaded Jinyang, and entered and exited the territory of our Han Dynasty as if no one was in the land, until the period of Emperor Wu, there were peerless famous generals such as Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Guang galloped Yanmen Gusai, attacked the desert, repeatedly defeated the Xiongnu, and barely stabilized the situation in northern Xinjiang. ”

"However, I can't wait for the juniors. Hundreds of years have passed, and instead of removing the scourge of the Xiongnu, it has added the scourge of Xianbei. Now it is at the time of the storm in my Han country, and this northern Xinjiang ......"

Li Hong smiled helplessly and asked: "If the Huns take the opportunity to rebel and the Xianbei people take advantage of the situation, can we hold the northern frontier?" ”

Zhu Mu and Song Wen looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Go, or not, adults have to leave early to decide." Song Wen said, "It is far more important to hold the annexation of the state than to suppress the rebellion in Youzhou, and in my opinion, it is not the best time to go north to quell the rebellion." ”

"My lord, if we can't take care of the whole thing, we may lose both." Zhu Mu reminded in a low voice.

Li Hong looked up to the sky and sighed.

"The holy order cannot be violated, so let's go north."

===

There is a place called Feiyan Valley at the southern foot of Luliang Mountain, which is the gathering place of the Baibo Yellow Turban Army. This place is very hidden, in the past, when Hu Cai and Li Le were bandits, it was their lair. All the preparations for Mrs. Guo's flag raising were done here. After the success of the Baibo Valley uprising, the Flying Goose Valley immediately became a stronghold for the Yellow Turban Army to hoard supplies.

Last autumn, the Yellow Turban Army was first defeated by Yan Rou and fled to Luliang Mountain, and then the Baibo Valley in the lower reaches of the Fen River was occupied by Liyi.

At the end of last month, Mrs. Guo was very happy to learn that Li Hong, the general of Zhenbei, had set up a battalion for the Northern Expedition at Yanmen Pass and gathered a large army to go north to quell the rebellion.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the hussar battalion stationed in Anyi to hurry north to Yanmen, and what particularly surprised him was that the county soldiers in Hedong had also left 3,000.

Li Hong was busy in Hedong for half a year, and suddenly withdrew all his troops, which was very abnormal. Mrs. Guo was a little uneasy, so she specially sent someone down the mountain to secretly contact a few old acquaintances in Yang Fengjun, wanting to confirm whether her news was accurate. The person who heard the news soon came back, saying that Li Hong had handed over the defense of Hedong to Yang Feng, and he had gone to Youzhou with a large army, and the news was true.

Guo Taixi is too happy. Yang Feng's 200,000 Tuntian soldiers are still the Yellow Turban Army, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to clash with Yang Feng, Yang Feng won't care about him, not to mention that Yang Feng doesn't necessarily dare to provoke himself as long as 20,000 soldiers have weapons. Guo Tai's ambition was great, not only did he want to occupy Anyi and plunder Hedong, but he also wanted to cut off the transportation to Bingzhou and force Zhang Yan and his Yellow Turban Army to rebel again. As long as Zhang Yan is reversed, is he still afraid that Yang Feng, a nine-headed bird, will not rebel?

In early March, he led an army of 50,000 to the nest and took the lead in attacking Pingyang City. Stationed in Pingyang is Yang Feng's handsome Li Yao, this person is handsome and has good martial arts, but he is lustful, and he seems to be unable to live without a woman. Li Yao has nothing to do, so he takes a handmaid with strong martial arts to mess with flowers and grass everywhere, and sometimes does some bad things by the way. Mrs. Guo did what she liked, gave him a few women with outstanding appearances, and he immediately ran back to the Linfen camp with the soldiers and horses.

After Guo Taibing took Pingyang City without blood, he immediately left Yang Feng with 5,000 men to defend the city, and he and Han Xian (read xian) and others led the army to cross the river and attack Xiangling City, and at the same time cut off the water and land transportation to Bingzhou. As soon as the merchants from all over the country saw that there were ant thieves in the east of the river, they immediately stopped the transportation of materials to avoid heavy losses for themselves.

It was Liang Baiwu who guarded Xiangling City. This kid seems to have taken the wrong medicine, and he didn't sell Mrs. Guo's account at all, not only did he not let him out of the city, but he also fought with Mrs. Guo. Mrs. Guo was very angry, pointed at Hu Cai and scolded: "If you hadn't stopped him with Yang Feng and slaughtered him that day, how could you have today's trouble?" Hu Cai didn't dare to reply, thinking in his heart, you slaughtered him, it was Yang Feng who fought with you today.

Guo Tai's Yellow Turban Army was defeated by Yan Rou just after the incident, and he never had the opportunity to get weapons replenishment, so the siege was very difficult, and he couldn't fight it for a few days, and the time dragged on day by day.

How did Mrs. Guo know that his old nest, Feiyan Valley, was now surrounded by hussar camps.

===

When the hussar battalion was stationed in Anyi last month, Li Hong urged Jie Yingtong to prepare for the attack on Baibo and the Yellow Turbans as soon as possible, and asked him to deal with this Yellow Turban Army by the end of March.

She discussed with several subordinates every day, and several people thought that it was unrealistic to directly encircle and suppress Luliang Mountain, so where to find the Yellow Turban Army? Even if it is found, the cavalry will not be able to give full play to its strengths, and it will definitely be the cavalry who will suffer when fighting in the mountains. If you want to fight, it is better to lure the Yellow Turban Army across the Fen River and annihilate them in the plain area on the south bank of the Fen River.

At this time, Xiao Lazy, who had been looking for the main force of the Yellow Turban Army with scouts, came back. He was born as an Orion and worked as a scout, so he knew how to do it. He found a few hunters around Luliang Mountain, and then called himself a soldier of the Yellow Turban Army, and after knocking on the side, he knew about Feiyan Valley. He led people to touch the Flying Goose Valley, found out the situation, and immediately rushed back.

She told him about luring the enemy south, and asked him for his opinion. Xiao Lazy said that it is okay to lure the enemy south, but it requires Yang Feng's cooperation, and it will not work without his cooperation, but the question is, will Yang Feng and his subordinates report the news? In addition, if we can't eat Mrs. Guo and he runs back to Luliang Mountain, what will we do?

Hu Zi said with a smile: "Shoot Yingtong and several of them are Xianbei people, and they are not familiar with the affairs of our Great Han Kingdom. ”

Xiao Lazy thought for a moment and said: "The Yellow Turban Army stays in Luliang Mountain, and it is always a threat to the transportation of land and water, so we must drive them out of Luliang Mountain no matter what." The most complete way to drive them out of Luliang Mountain is to destroy the Flying Wild Goose Valley, beat them from behind the Yellow Turban Army, and drive the Yellow Turban Army south to the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain. ”

The little lazy told him about his plan, and several people summed it up, and then decided to act according to the plan.

"Do you want to tell the Zhenbei General's Mansion about our plan?" She asked.

"No, I don't." Xiao Lazy smiled, "As long as you complete the things that the adults have to explain, if you consult everything, what do you want us people to do?" ”

===

Xiao Lazy immediately visited Wang Han, the Taishou of Hedong, and revealed a little bit about the plan to kill, and then said: "We will return to Merge Zhou with great fanfare tomorrow, and we also said that we will go north to Youzhou to quell the rebellion." If an adult hears something, don't be surprised, just have a plan. ”

When the hussar battalion passed through Linfen, Xiao Lazy said hello to Yang Feng, saying that the hussar battalion was going to Bingzhou and wanted to lure Guo Tai out of Luliang Mountain, hoping that Yang Feng could send people to guard Xiangling City for a few days, so as to cooperate with the hussar battalion to defeat Guo Tai's Yellow Turban Army. Yang Feng didn't agree, but he asked the hussar battalion to surround Guo Tai as much as possible, and then he would come forward to appease him, and not to kill wantonly. The little lazy agreed.

No one knew that he was going to raid the Flying Goose Valley.

After the hussar battalion entered the territory of Bingzhou, it immediately turned around and rushed to Xihe County along the gallop road to Shangjun, and then slowly moved south from the northern foot of Luliang Mountain, quietly surrounding Feiyan Valley. At this time, Mrs. Guo had already led the Yellow Turban Army to attack Xiangling City.

The scout reported that in addition to 10,000 old and young women and children, there were only 5,000 Yellow Turban Army soldiers in Feiyan Valley. Shooting Yingtong and others were overjoyed, and they gathered together to discuss how to attack the Flying Goose Valley. The little lazy has already made up his mind and arranged it calmly.

===

The next morning, Beard, Sloth, and Shooting Tiger suddenly appeared at the mouth of the Flying Goose Valley with an army of 7,000.

The Yellow Turbans were shocked, and the valley was in chaos.

Xiao Lazy was not in a hurry, and ordered all the cavalry soldiers to dismount and form three attack phalanxes at the mouth of the valley, and the most attacking phalanx was composed of two thousand people of the Mu Tao Mu Li brothers.

After the Mu Tao Mu Li brothers were arrested, they knew that they couldn't go back, if they cut off their heads, it was better to surrender to the Dancing Leaf tribe and pick up a life, so they became the two military marquis of the hussar battalion.

The three phalanxes stood quietly at the mouth of the valley, waiting for the order to attack, and their huge lineup and solemn momentum terrified the Yellow Turban Army in the valley.

The horn of the attack was not sounded for a long time, but the murderous aura that enveloped the upper valley of the Flying Wild Goose Valley became more and more chilling, and many Yellow Turban soldiers could not bear this suffocating murderous aura, and gasped for breath.

The two sides confronted each other for a full hour.

At this time, a chirping dwarf suddenly shot out from the sky above the Flying Goose Valley, and the little lazy suddenly roared, and in an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired, and the attack began. Mu Taomu and Li held a shield in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, and each led the team to call forward.

The Yellow Turban soldiers rushed out of the woods in the valley with loud shouts, holding all kinds of weapons, some even sticks, but they were not afraid of death, and they swarmed up.

As soon as the two sides entered the melee, the sound of dense horses' hooves was heard from the rear of the valley, and the shooting of Yingtong, Arc Ding and Qi Shen led 3,000 cavalry around the rear of the Flying Wild Goose Valley and killed them from behind the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban Army suffered from the enemy on its belly and back, and suddenly the wolves rushed to the pigs, killing and wounding all over the field.

"Kill, kill all, leave not a single one." The little lazy slashed with a knife and shouted loudly, "Take the reward with your head." ”

When the soldiers of the hussar battalion heard the call of the superior, they were full of energy, and the killing became even more bloody.

Soon, the family members of the Yellow Turban Army hiding in the cave in the southeast corner of the valley were discovered, and the Iron Knight Soldiers had already killed the red eyes, so it didn't matter if they were old and young women and children, they would cut them when they rushed in.

The shooting tiger and Pegasus found the shooting Yingtong and shouted: "That's a homeless, it's a homeless, you can't kill it." ”

Shooting Yingtong turned her head to look at the little lazy. Xiao Lazy sneered and waved his hand vigorously, "Kill, don't leave one." ”

"Little lazy brother......" Shooting Tiger looked at him in horror, unable to believe his ears.

"We don't have time, we killed." Xiao Lazy said expressionlessly, "After killing, burn the valley and attack Pingyang City overnight." ”

===

The hussar battalion surrounded the city of Binh Duong overnight.

Shooting Yingtong and Hu Zi launched a fierce attack at the west gate with a large army, and Yang Feng, who was caught off guard, led the army to defend it. At this time, Xiao Lazy took people to dive and cut open the east gate sluice, occupying the east gate that Yang Feng thought was the safest. The east gate is facing the Fenshui River, and the east gate has fallen, and there is no hope of escaping across the river. Arc Ding, Qi Shen and Shooting Tiger then rushed into the city from the east gate with two thousand iron horsemen, slashing and slashing wantonly, and the blood flowed like a river.

Yang Feng saw that the general trend was gone, jumped into the moat and fled. The 5,000 Yellow Turbans in the city were slaughtered.

The hussar battalion took only half a day to conquer the city of Binh Duong.

"Cross the river, cross the river immediately, and raid Mrs. Guo." The little lazy did not let the soldiers rest at all, and immediately gave the order to cross the river.

She Yingtong looked at the tired soldiers, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mrs. Guo must have known that we were attacking Pingyang, and he would immediately rush to support and cross the river at this time......"

The beard stroked his beard and smiled: "Why are you in such a hurry?" Didn't you say that it was enough to block Mrs. Guo south of the Fen River? ”

"Mrs. Guo would never have imagined that Pingyang would be lost in half a day. After he got the news of our attack on Binh Duong, he must think about what is the purpose of our attack on Binh Duong? Whether to block him south of the Fen River or lure him back to help and then carry out a surprise attack while he crosses the river, so he will definitely not rush to the Fen River tonight, and it will be tomorrow if he wants to be rescued. The little sloth said very calmly, "We will cross the river now and attack his camp in the early morning." ”

Hu Zi patted his head and praised: "You kid holds the military book every day, it turns out that you have really learned some skills." Yingtong, what do you see? I think it's a good idea. ”

She Yingtong groaned for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, let Shooting Tiger stay and defend the city, and we will take six thousand people across the river." ”

===

Xiao Lazy miscalculated this time, Guo Taiyuan was far smarter than he thought.

After Mrs. Guo received the news that the hussar battalion was attacking Pingyang City, she immediately knew that she had been tricked. Yang Feng is no longer the Yellow Turban Army, but a complete Yellow Turban Army rebellion, a heinous person who slashes his brother with a knife. He chose to retreat without hesitation and retreated to the southeast of Nakajo Mountain. As long as you go up the mountain, as long as there are still people and horses, as long as you don't die, the banner of the Yellow Turban Army will not fall. When I arrived at Zhongtiao Mountain, if I got in touch with the Yellow Turban Army in Hanoi, I could still get support from all sides, and it would definitely not be a problem to persevere. He commanded his men and horses to pull out the camp overnight and leave.

In the early morning, when Shooting Yingtong and Xiao Lazy and others rushed to the city of Xiangling, there was not a single Yellow Turban Army. Due to the continuous fighting, the soldiers of the hussar battalion were exhausted and had to stop to rest, and could only watch Guo Tai run away with the Yellow Turban soldiers.

"Rest for a day, and start the pursuit tomorrow, I don't believe that four legs can't catch up with him two." The little lazy said hatefully.

===

The day after the hussar battalion defeated the Baibo Yellow Turban Army, Wang Han, the Taishou of Hedong, got the news, and he immediately posted announcements everywhere, and the supplies for transporting the state were immediately merged into two long transportation dragons again.

Yang Feng was very unhappy, not only did Xiao Lazy not tell him the truth, but also deceived him and killed the Yellow Turban Army of Feiyan Valley and Pingyang City cleanly. He was furious, and wrote a letter to scold Xiao Lazy, saying that you, Master Li Su, are now more powerful in killing people than Huangfu Song, and even the old and young women and children are not spared, how could General Zhenbei teach you a bloody butcher. Xiao Lazy sneered when he saw the letter, and threw the bamboo slip into the ravine in front of Yang Feng's men, "You go back and tell the nine-headed bird, and tell him to think about it for himself, when he killed people in Jizhou, how many old and young women and children did he kill?" Did he kill more or did I kill more? ”

The hussar battalion chased all the way, biting Guo Tai's Yellow Turban Army to the death. Mrs. Guo was helpless, so he had to order Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai to each take a group of men and horses, and everyone fled separately, but Xiao Lazy was born in Orion, and his sense of smell was too sensitive, so he was ready to judge the direction of Guo Tai's escape, and chased after him with the hussar battalion.

At the end of the month, the hussar battalion surrounded Guo Tai and his 5,000 soldiers near Xicheng Mountain, and Guo Tai led his troops to break through the siege, but they were killed by random arrows, and the whole army was annihilated.

Han Xian and the others managed to escape to Zhongtiao Mountain, and Han Xian became the leader of this remnant of the White Wave Yellow Turban.
