The DPRK and China are arguing about the reward, but the war in Youzhou has not stopped.

In the blink of an eye, the Yellow Turban Army had besieged Quanzhou for three days, and at this time, seven days had passed since Li Pengfei led the cavalry to leave Quanzhou.

Yuyang in the Han Dynasty, the rivers are dense, especially in Quanzhou, which is near the sea in the south of Yuyang, including Baoqiu Shui, Gushui, Lushui, Luoshui, Shengshui, Juma Water and other nearly ten large rivers are here to enter the sea, plus because of the limitation of human and material resources, unable to build embankments, and at this moment has not yet entered the Three Kingdoms to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period that lasted for hundreds of years of Xiaoice period, precipitation is very abundant, these large rivers often flood, resulting in the two counties of Yongnu and Quanzhou in the south of Yuyang County. Especially in Quanzhou, the county's land boundary is nearly 10 million acres, but nearly half of the land is swamp lakes. Only the county town in the northwest has few swamps and is a place where people live. To the east and southeast, however, it is swampy and rarely populated.

At this time, Li Pengfei, Guan Yu and others led a large army, and they hid in this swamp country.

This place is one hundred and fifty miles east of Quanzhou City, where Baoqiu water enters the sea.

Li Pengfei's choice to hide troops here was fully considered. Because of the rarity of human tracks, the secrecy of the army can be guaranteed. In addition, the water and grass here are abundant, which is very suitable for grazing, and it is now the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the grass here grows enough to hide the standing people, and the thousands of war horses of the army can solve the food on the spot, which greatly reduces the consumption of military supplies. If he had changed places, the supply of feed for these thousands of horses alone would have bankrupted his long-term hidden plans.

The news brought back by the scouts about the battle situation in Quanzhou City was not good.

Li Pengfei already knows the general situation of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Qun, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army of Zhang Bao's department, personally led an army of 25,000 and had arrived at the north gate of Quanzhou City and was attacking.

Zhang Qun's brother Zhang Feng led an army of 10,000 to attack the east gate of Quanzhou City.

Gao Xiang, a close general of Zhang Bao, the general of the Yellow Turban Army, led an army of 15,000 to attack the west gate of Quanzhou City.

In addition, Zhang Qun also left 5,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army stationed in Yongnu City, 80 miles north of Quanzhou, which he used as a transit point for supplies and hoarded all kinds of materials.

The cost of tens of thousands of troops is very large, and if it is transported by land, the cost is even greater. Therefore, Zhang Qun transported materials by waterway, first along Luoshui to Yongnu from Jixian County, and then along the Gu River to Quanzhou.

In the city of Quanzhou, more than 20,000 defenders defended the city under the leadership of Yue Fei.

Zhang Qun's attack was fierce, almost regardless of casualties, so the losses on both sides were relatively large. The defenders, in particular, suffered particularly heavy losses due to lack of training.

What annoyed Li Pengfei the most was that Zhang Qun did not know if he had received the news that he had led the cavalry out of Quanzhou City, and when he was besieging Quanzhou City, he sent a large number of scouts along the Gu River. As a result, it was almost impossible for his cavalry army to quietly cross the river.

A scout Pegasus arrives.

"My lord, the Gu River is twenty miles south of Yongnu County, and there is a place suitable for troops to cross the river. The terrain is more secluded and the water flow is gentle, but the river is slightly wider. But the scouts of the Yellow Turban Thieves watched it very closely, and it was impossible to cross the river secretly. ”

Li Pengfei nodded, and then shouted to the heralds: "Invite the three generals." ”

"Zilong, has the boat that crossed the river been found?" After Zhao Yun came, Li Pengfei asked with a smile.

"Big brother, don't worry. The ships have been found, but the number is a little small, and we have too many troops and horses, and it will take at least a day. Zhao Yun said very cautiously.

"It takes such a long time to cross the river, and it will definitely be exposed, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve a surprise attack." Guan Yu said to Li Pengfei.

"We can first send two or three hundred soldiers to attack the enemy's scouts along the river bank and clear their hidden posts." Zhang Fei said on the side.

Li Pengfei did not squeak, he took out the map from his arms.

Guan Yu and the others also set their sights on the map. This map is very different from the maps of this era, and the markings on it are very special. Just like where they are now, it is marked with a dense line of short horizontal lines. Castles like Quanzhou Castle are marked with circles.

They knew that this map was drawn by the eldest brother himself, and it took a lot of effort.

As a matter of fact, this map was drawn by Li Pengfei in accordance with the marching maps of later generations, and the various markings on it are also the markings of the military maps of later generations. Therefore, it is naturally different from today's logo.

Since coming to the end of the Han Dynasty, Li Pengfei has been paying attention to collecting geographical information from various places and then drawing a map. Every time the people of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce go to a place, understanding the local geography is an essential content, and even the first content is still on top of commercial trade.

With such attention, the gains are also enormous. The geographical situation of the two prefectures in the north, as well as the Wuhuan and Xianbei regions in the north, has almost been touched by Li Pengfei so far.

At this moment, the map in front of Li Pengfei is a small-scale map, on which only the areas of Yuyang County and Guangyang County are depicted. But the drawings are very detailed, and even small villages with more than 10 households are painted on them.

Because the quality of today's paper is really difficult to get into Li Pengfei's eyes, this map is drawn with silk. As a result, maps are expensive to draw and cannot be drawn in large quantities. Li Pengfei was thinking about whether to find a way to improve papermaking techniques and get some better-quality paper out.

It's just that it's more difficult, because his knowledge of papermaking is very limited. After all, there is no shortage of paper in the future, and what kind of paper you want, just buy it directly.

Therefore, if you want to get detailed papermaking skills, you can only redeem them through the Three Kingdoms 2018 system, but this requires a lot of merit points; Or hope for the annual lottery, but such hope is too slim.

Li Pengfei looked at it again and again, then pointed to a place on the map and asked the scouts around him: "Is there a ferry here?" ”

The scout looked at the map and replied, "Back to my lord, there is a ferry here." However, this place is twenty miles south of Quanzhou City, and the Yellow Turban Thieves pay great attention to it. ”

"Ordered the troops to be stationed and rested. Zilong prepares the boat, and we will cross the river tomorrow. The scouts immediately moved out to clear the enemy within twenty miles of the crossing. Li Pengfei immediately issued successive orders.

"Yun Chang, you immediately rush to this ferry port overnight with a thousand troops." Li Pengfei pointed to a ferry 20 miles south of Quanzhou City on the map and said, "After arriving there, make a bigger noise, set up more tents, and actively make a gesture of preparing to cross the river, so as to attract the attention of the enemy's scouts." As soon as the enemy scouts converge on you, the large army will start crossing the river from here. ”

Guan Yu nodded again and again.

Zhao Yun said with admiration: "Big brother's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain is indeed clever. Nearby enemies will be lured away from this area by the second brother's troops, which is much easier than sending troops to hunt them down. ”

"But what do you want to add?" Li Pengfei asked again.

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"Big brother, when are we going to cross the river?" Guan Yu then asked.

"If nothing else, we'll be in action in the early hours of the day after tomorrow. If all goes well, the enemy scouts will not be visible near the Gu River at noon the day after tomorrow. At that time, you will immediately cross the river and rush to Quanzhou City overnight to join us. ”

Li Pengfei looked at Guan Yu and said with a smile: "Yun Chang, let's go immediately." Nearly 120 miles away, even if it was cavalry, it would take more than three hours for the troops to march quickly. You must remember: you must be loud and make sure that the enemy mistakenly thinks that you are the main reinforcement. ”

"Don't worry, big brother, little brother can save it. Farewell. Guan Yu bowed and clasped his fists in salute, and flew away on his horse.
