Since learning that the hussar general Li Yi had personally gone to Hedong to prepare to lead a large army to conquer the Baibo army, the major leaders of the Baibo army fell into panic. This is something that can't be helped, the reputation of the hussar general Li Yi is too great, and in his hands, there are not only the Hu people in the northern prairie and Liaodong, but also the Yellow Turban Army of the Great Sage and Good Division, and the millions of Yellow Turban Army in the four prefectures of Yuyan, Qing, and Xu. Compared to these, the White Bo Army is really not worth mentioning.

The White Bo Army is also a Yellow Turban, after the death of the Zhang brothers, the Yellow Turban has not subsided in various places, Montenegro, Huanglong, Zuoxiao, Wulu...... To be a dime a dozen. From time to time, Bai Bo is also one of them, and it is one of the more troubled ones.

Like the Yellow Turbans in other places, the Baibo Army was also composed of dozens of large and small forces, and the general commander Guo Tai called himself a general and had tens of thousands of troops. Under him, Yang Feng, Li Le, Han Xianam, Hu Cai and other commanders each had more than 10,000 troops.

There are often disputes within the White Polish Army in peacetime, but now that Li Yi is leading a large army to the east of the river, under great pressure, the disputes within the White Polish Army are even more intense.

Some people say that it is better to surrender on their own initiative, anyway, the hussar generals will not kill them, and they may even be reused, and many of the generals in the Northern Xinjiang Army are from the Yellow Turban Army.

Some people say that our Baibo army is not comparable to other forces, we occupy the Baibo Valley with dangerous terrain, how many officers and troops came to attack in the past, and finally they did not withdraw one by one, but we are still at ease in the Baibo Valley. Although the hussar general is powerful, it is only because he did not meet us. If he dares to attack Baibo Valley, then we will let him suffer the first big defeat in his life.

Some people say that we simply took refuge in Dong Zhuode, didn't he send someone to recruit us not long ago. Dong Zhuo is now under siege by the hussar generals and the Kwantung princes, and the situation is very bad. Let's go to him at this time, it's a charcoal in the snow, and he will definitely reuse us.

Some people also said that your ideas are not good, we will definitely not be able to defeat the hussar general, but it is not okay to surrender or take refuge in Dong Zhuo just like this. I think we might as well retreat to the east, go to join the Montenegrin army, gather the forces of both sides to defeat Jizhou, and fight against the hussar generals.

Guo Tai, the big leader of the White Bo Army, swayed left and right among several different opinions, and was unable to make a decision.

Mrs. Guo was unwilling to give up his foundation in Baibo Valley like this, and he had made great efforts here. Since February of the fifth year of Zhongping (188 AD), when he led his subordinates to raise troops, he has been operating the Baibo Valley non-stop. Now, three years have passed, and the facilities in Baibo Valley are quite complete, like a prosperous city. Most of the houses along the street have been converted into shops, and there are even some walking vendors on the roadside.

The reason why Mrs. Guo did this is because he summed it up through his experience over the years. As an old man who joined the Yellow Turban Army in the first year of Zhongping, Mrs. Guo has experienced too many things. He summed up that the previous Yellow Turban Army was all rogue in the true sense, they besieged the county and broke the city, so they swarmed in, ate everything they could eat, took everything they could take, and the people who had nothing had nothing to do had to follow them. So, like a snowball, the team is getting bigger and bigger, but the combat effectiveness is getting lower and lower. In the end, they were either exterminated by the official army or defeated in internal strife.

If you want to succeed, you must have your own territory, so he built his own foundation in the Baibo Valley, a place with a difficult terrain.

And what happened in the past three years also proved his foresight, although he fought with the official army many times, and even many times were on the verge of despair, but in the end, he relied on the foundation of the Baibo Valley, and it was difficult to support, and even made the total strength of the Baibo army reach 100,000.

But Mrs. Guo also knew that if he fought with the Hussar General's Northern Frontier Army, his White Polish Army would not have the slightest hope of victory.

However, at this time, Guo Tai suddenly got a piece of news, saying that the hussar general had drawn out the army of Hedong and Bingzhou and went south, preparing to attack Chang'an.

Mrs. Guo was very happy, thinking that the opportunity to make a comeback had come, and immediately ordered the army to prepare to go down the mountain to attack Hedong.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the hussar guards stationed in Anyi to hurriedly go south to Luoyang. And what especially surprised him was that the county soldiers in Hedong also lost 3,000.

Li Yi was busy in Hedong for half a year, and it was very unusual to suddenly withdraw all his troops. Mrs. Guo was a little uneasy, so she deliberately sent someone down the mountain and secretly contacted several old acquaintances in the Northern Xinjiang Army, wanting to confirm whether her news was accurate.

The people who heard the news soon returned, saying that the news that Li Yi had gone to Luoyang with a large army was true.

Guo Taixi is too happy.

Guo Tai's ambition is very big, he not only wants to occupy Anyi and plunder Hedong, he also wants to cut off the transportation from Bingzhou to Luoyang, so that Li Yi's army in Luoyang can fall into a desperate situation of running out of food, and may even make Li Yi himself lose his life in Luoyang. If Li Yi is really allowed to die in Luoyang, the huge northern frontier will definitely collapse, because Li Yi has no descendants so far, and if he dies, there will be no heir in northern Xinjiang, and the result can only be collapse.

Once there is no powerful Northern Frontier Army, then he can lead a large army to seize the annexed states, and then rely on the annexation of the states and the land east of the river to dominate the world.

In early February, Mrs. Guo came out with an army of 50,000 and took the lead in attacking Pingyang City.

Garrisoned in Pingyang was Wei Yao of the Hedong Wei family. This person is handsome and has good martial arts, but he is lustful, and he seems to be unable to live without a woman. When Wei Yao has nothing to do, 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 and others led the army to cross the river to attack Xiangling City, and at the same time cut off the water and land transportation from Bingzhou to Luoyang.

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.

The person guarding Xiangling City is a young man named Xu Huang, he is the son of the powerful Xu family in Yang County, and his current official position is the lieutenant of Xiangling County. This kid didn't eat hard and soft, ignored Mrs. Guo's bribery, and led 500 soldiers and 3,000 people to defend the city.

Although Guo Tai's Yellow Turban Army has developed in the Baibo Valley for several years, they are basically working as farmers, farming and digging in the fields, and have never had the opportunity to get weapons replenishment, so the siege is very difficult. Although Xiangling City is not a big city, and there are not many soldiers defending the city, Guo Tai's Yellow Turban Army can't be defeated for a few days, and time drags on day by day.

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

Last month, when the Hussar Guards were stationed in Anyi, Li Yi repeatedly urged his advisers and generals to prepare for the attack on Baibo and the Yellow Turbans as soon as possible, and asked them to deal with the Yellow Turban Army by the end of February.

Xu Maogong, Liu Bowen, Guo Jia and several other strategists discussed with generals such as Chang Yuchun, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Yuwen Chengdu, and Lu Wenlong. Even if they were found, the cavalry would not be able to play to their strengths. Fighting in the mountains, it is definitely the cavalry who suffers. It is better to lure the Yellow Turban Army across the Fen River and annihilate them in the plains on the south bank of the Fen River.

At this time, Tian Yu, who had been looking for the main force of the Yellow Turban Army with scouts, came back.

Tian Yu has now succeeded Huang Zhong and has become the commander of the 1,000-strong bow sniper force. This 1,000-strong bow sniper unit is not only a powerful killer on the battlefield, but also the best scout.

Tian Yu found a few hunters around Luliang Mountain, and immediately falsely claimed to be a soldier of the Yellow Turban Army, and after knocking on the side, he knew about Baibo Valley. He took someone to Baibo Valley, found out the situation, and immediately rushed back.

Xu Maogong told him about luring the enemy south, and asked him for his opinion.

Tian Yu 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 Baibo Valley, beat them from behind the Yellow Turban Army, and drive the Yellow Turban Army south to the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain. ”

Tian Yu explained his plan, everyone summed it up, and then decided to act according to the plan.

Li Yi found Wang Rou, the Taishou of Hedong, and revealed a little about the plan to kill him, and then said: "We will return to Luoyang tomorrow with great fanfare, and we also said that we will attack Chang'an." If you hear something, don't be surprised, just know it. ”

No one knew that he was going to raid the White Wave Valley.

After entering the boundary of Hanoi County, the Hussar Guards did not cross the river to the south, but turned around and rushed to Shangdang County along the gallop road to Hanoi County, and then slowly moved south from the northern foot of Luliang Mountain, quietly surrounding the Bai Bo Valley. At this time, Guo Tai had already led the Yellow Turban Army to attack Xiangling City.

The scout reported that in addition to twenty or thirty thousand old and young women and children, there were only 5,000 soldiers of the White Wave Army in the White Wave Valley. Li Yi and the others were overjoyed and gathered together to discuss how to attack Baibo Valley.

On the morning of the next day, Li Yi, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Yuwen Chengdu, Lu Wenlong, and Tian Yu suddenly appeared at the mouth of the Baibo Valley with an army of 7,000.

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

Li Yi 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 attack phalanx at the forefront was composed of 2,000 people from Yuwen Chengdu and Lu Wenlong.

The three phalanxes stood silently at the mouth of the valley, waiting for the order to attack. Its huge lineup and strong momentum terrified the White Wave Army in the valley.

The horn of the attack was not sounded for a long time, but the murderous aura that hung over the White Wave Valley became more and more chilling. Many of the White Polish soldiers could not stand the suffocating murderous aura and gasped for breath. (To be continued.) )
