Liu Bei and Zou Jing waved their troops south, and the soldiers and horses with a small number of 10,000 people were not boundless, but their every move was also quite shocking to the place. www.biquge.info Although Liu Bei and Zou Jing both played under the banner of the Han official army, the local officials who had all kinds of worries still used all kinds of excuses to prevent the army from entering the city as much as possible. Some of these excuses sound very good, and some of them show clumsy flaws everywhere, but Liu Bei and Zou Jing, who knew what they were worried about, still decided to do what they said after sighing.

Anyway, all this to the south is to rescue Qingzhou, saving people is like fighting fire, neither Liu Bei nor Zou Jing has thought about entering the states and counties along the way. After the other party was able to help them raise food and grass as much as possible, they were also pessimistic about whether they could enter the city or not.

From Youzhou to Qingzhou, the middle is to pass through Yizhou, which sounds a bit far away, but in fact, Liu Bei and the others need to pass through a Bohai County and Pingyuan County.

Zhuo County is adjacent to Bohai County in the north, Pingyuan County is adjacent to Bohai County to the south, and the Yellow River is on the south side of Pingyuan County.

At this time, the world was in turmoil, and the eight prefectures of Qing, You, Xu, Yi, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan were successively attacked by the Yellow Turban Army. However, after all, the strength of the Yellow Turban Army came from the people, and although its strength was strong, there was never much internal response in the government, and the water army that controlled the big rivers and rivers still belonged to the imperial court.

This made Liu Bei and Zou Jing's actions to support Qingzhou a lot of convenience. Under the circumstance that Li Qin deliberately made Liu Bei friendly with the generals of the Yellow River Navy, the generals of the Navy not only agreed to transport Liu Bei's soldiers across the river with the navy warships, but also agreed to inspect the river with the sailors in the process of Liu Bei's rescue of Qingzhou, so as to provide the necessary guarantee for Liu Bei's grain and grass transportation.

"In this way, as long as there is a water master, there will be basically no problem with our grain route." Liu Bei breathed a long sigh of relief at this.

Under the influence of Li Qin, Liu Bei at this time gradually stopped looking at battles with the simple eyes of a general. He had a more comprehensive view of the war, and understood that in many cases, the factors that determine the victory or defeat of the war were not in the places where the enemy and the enemy were at odds with each other, and outside of these places, this was undoubtedly a growth for Liu Bei.

For example, at the moment, he understands the importance of the naval army to himself: "Judging from the fact that the naval division can guard the grain roads along the river, if our future base is on the edge of the river, it is really necessary to have a naval army with combat effectiveness." When Zou Jing didn't come, Liu Bei said such words in front of his two brothers and Li Qin.

"The future will be a troubled era, and the rise of the Yellow Turban Army is just ......the beginning of this troubled era" This is Li Qin's view, which has been recognized by several high-level leaders of Liu Beijun until now. They all know that in troubled times, if you want to become strong, you must have a territory of your own.

"The importance of the sailor is not limited to that. Having a strong naval division not only allows us to run rampant on the rivers and ensure the food routes of our own army, but also gives us the ability to attack any city along the river and along the river. If our navy is further developed to have the ability to cross the seas, then the coastal states and counties will also become targets for us. The speed of the ships was not as slow as that of the horse infantry. If we have a strong water army, then there are not many places in the world where we can go. Li Qin said with a smile.

As a person of later generations, he knows not a lot of things, but he likes to show everything differently from others more flamboyantly. When there is no urgent need, Li Qin prefers to tell some private goods that he knows at the right time and when his family has some understanding. Li Qin believes that at these times, it is easiest for others to hear and remember these things when they say these things.

In fact, Li Qin's "teachings" have indeed achieved good results in Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

"Oh...... Does the sailor still have this effect? It sounds like a fantasy, but if you think about it, it's a real possibility. Liu Bei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded in recognition of Li Qin's statement: "Water Division, Water Division that crosses the sea, if we can, we will definitely establish such a one." Well, this is definitely something to write down. Liu Bei said, looked at Guan Yu, and then at Zhang Fei, a glance passed, but it was for them to also make sure to note this.

After that, the conversation about the sailor ended there. After all, no matter how important the sailor is, no matter how much he wants to develop, it will be a matter of the future, for Liu Beijun at the moment, the most important thing is not how to develop the navy, but to deal with the enemies besieging Linzi, the Yellow Turban Army that scared Gong Jing, the assassin of Qingzhou.

The army continued to advance, and after crossing the Yellow River, it was only a few days' journey from Linzi City. All kinds of information kept coming, so that Liu Beijun's people had a more intuitive understanding of the sinister situation. At this time, Linzi City was surrounded by the Yellow Turban Legion, and the news in the city could not be sent. The elite scouts sent by the official army rushed to the vicinity of Linzi City at the risk of death, and took a look at it from afar, but they got a fairly reassuring news: Linzi City has not yet fallen, and the red flag of the Han Dynasty is still planted at the head of Linzi City.

"What a blessing! I thought Gong Taishou wouldn't make it to us here. When Zou Jing heard the news, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief. As a rescuer, what he is most worried about is that his soldiers have arrived, and there are no more rescuers.

"What is the situation of the enemy now?" Li Qin asked this very crucial question: "Who is the general of the Yellow Turban Army who is responsible for attacking Qingzhou?" How did they distribute their forces? ”

"Qingzhou Qu Shuai Bu has been, and his leaders include Xu He, Sima Ju, Huang Long, Zhang Yan, Guan Hai and others......" Zou Jing raised the information in his hand and said:

"Bu is already a generous commander in Qingzhou, with 60,000 soldiers and horses directly under him, and he is the main force surrounding Linzi City, and Xu He and Sima Ju are following him.

Huang Long and Zhang Yan were the Yellow Turban Army from Xuzhou, I heard that the Yellow Turban Army had been broken up by a person named Sun Jian, they didn't dare to stay in Xuzhou anymore, so they went north to Qingzhou, their strength was about 30,000, but they had cooperated with Bu to besiege Linzi.

As for Guan Hai, I heard that he was the strongest in the Yellow Turban Army. However, there is no banner of him under Linzi City, and it seems that he has been sent to other places to collect grain and grass. The Yellow Turban Army has been besieging Linzi for some time, and there seems to be some problems with their food and grass. ”

"In other words, what we have to deal with now is the 100,000 people under Linzi City!" Li Qin muttered to himself: "Our army has only 7,000 men, but the enemy has 100,000...... The enemy is outnumbered, and if there is no strategy, this battle will not be easy to fight. ”

"Conspiracy? What's your plan? Zou Jing looked at Li Qin curiously.

"I looked at the map of Linzi and found that the terrain around Linzi City is complex, with many hills, few flat land, and relatively lush trees on the mountains...... Suitable for ambushes. I think it makes sense for us to put on a play in front of them, and then, when they are careless, send an ambush and kill them completely. ”

"Take advantage of the terrain? Acting? Ambush? Zou Jing heard Li Qin say a rough idea, and suddenly became a little excited: "This thing seems to be a bit of a problem." How exactly are you going to do that? ”

"This ...... It's not clear yet, but I want to go to the vicinity of Linzi City tomorrow to do some reconnaissance. Li Qin thought for a while, shook his head and said.

"You're going to go to the front line to investigate? That's not going to work...... At present, there are a lot of Yellow Turban Army outposts near Linzi City, so you just go like this...... I'm just afraid of ......" Hearing that Li Qin actually wanted to go to the front line to investigate in person, Liu Bei hurriedly stopped him in a panic.

If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are Liu Bei's two knives, then Li Qin can be regarded as Liu Bei's cerebellum even if he can't be called Liu Bei's brain. If something happened to the two knives, Liu Bei was afraid that it would hurt his heart, but if something happened to Li Qin's cerebellum, Liu Bei felt that he might be half paralyzed.

"Can't we let the scouts in the army send the information to us?" Liu Beiba looked at Li Qin, with pleading in his eyes.

"Don't worry!" Li Qin chuckled and shook his head, "There are some things that I still need to confirm in person." ”

"This ......" Liu Bei hesitated when he heard this: "Why don't I let the third brother protect you?" Liu Bei made another suggestion.

"It's still not necessary, the three generals have more important things to do. Let me do this myself......" Li Qin shook his head, still rejecting Liu Bei's suggestion.

He patted his chest and said to Liu Bei: "Don't you know my strength? You know, I'm also the one who can play a few rounds with the second general. Not to mention killing the enemy, there is no problem in self-preservation. ”

"Okay!" Li Qin said that this is the case, and Liu Bei naturally does not want to continue to refuse.

So, he agreed to Li Qin's request, but resolutely asked Li Qin to bring fifty elite scouts for protection. In this regard, Li Qin couldn't refuse, so he had to nod and agree.

Early the next morning, Li Qin led the 50th cavalry and set out from the camp.

He did not go directly to Linzi City, but slightly deviated from the direction to the southwest of Linzi City, where the terrain was very high, the hills were dense, and the environment was quite complicated. In the eyes of others, this may be a place where the march of the army must stay away, after all, no one knows what will happen in the next moment, but in Li Qin's eyes, such a complicated place is the foundation for his own plot to achieve victory.

At that moment, Li Qin climbed up to the top of the hill with his guards, and let the soldiers spread out to guard in the distance, while he himself took a pair of binoculars from his personal space to look at them.

As he sketched the lines on the board, a more detailed map appeared in Li Qin's pen. hills, river valleys, streams, villages and towns, trade routes, military camps...... Li Qin only ran a few places, and then he saw the situation in the southwest of Linzi clearly. As for how to deal with the enemy tomorrow, Li Qin already had a general opinion in his heart.

When the last stroke on the drawing board fell, the sun in the sky gradually moved to the west side of the sky, and slid downward bit by bit. The incandescent light was ruddy, wordlessly announcing the departure of a day.

"Chirp...... Chirping ......" The high-pitched sound of an eagle resounded very vividly in the sky. Li Qin looked up and saw a big gray eagle hovering in the air.

"The sun is going down...... So are the birds going to return to their nests with loud chirps? Looking at the big eagle in the sky, Li Qin couldn't help but sigh, thinking of the last days he had lived in, but he shook his head heavily: "I don't want to go back to that place." Aside from that, grasping the moment is what I should really do. ”

Li Qin thought, took a deep breath, and with a wave of his hand, ordered everyone to collect their troops and return to the camp.

Today's reconnaissance has gained a lot for Li Qin, and he already knows how the next battle will go. Right now, he just wanted to return to his military camp as soon as possible, inform Liu Bei and Zou Jing of his plans, and let them destroy the Yellow Turban Army according to their plans.

This was a pretty good idea, but as a group of men and horses suddenly stopped on his way back to the camp, Li Qin understood that it was not so simple for him to go back.

To tell the truth, the people who stopped in front of Li Qin were led by a very young man with his hair scattered and a yellow scarf wrapped around his forehead, and his number was not very large. Li Qin looked at it and clearly saw their margins. Li Qin secretly estimated that from the appearance of their military formations and the number of lines that could be vaguely seen, he quickly came up with the number of this group.

"It's only about 200 people...... Don't worry. In the face of the sudden appearance of the enemy, Li Qin shouted loudly, and used quite stern words to soothe the uneasiness in the hearts of everyone behind him.

Although they were taken aback by the sudden appearance of these guys, they were not so worried when they thought that they were only two hundred. One Han soldier can deal with five Yellow Turban soldiers - I don't know when this idea has been recognized by the world, and then has become a common opinion. Of course, this view is not necessarily correct, but at least at this moment, it gives the people under Li Qin's command confidence.

Everyone was no longer uneasy, and the war intent in their hearts surged, and they wanted to step forward to give these guys a good look, but Li Qin stopped them.

"Wait!" Li Qin said.

At this time, the eagle in the sky "chirped" again...... The chirp of ......" sounded, Li Qin frowned slightly when he heard this, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "Why, this big bird is spinning above my head?" Li Qin was a little puzzled.

He was about to ask the other party to see if he could blow up the reason for this, when he saw a bird shadow slip from the sky and suddenly fall to the side of the Yellow Turban General standing directly in front of him.

I saw that the young man who looked very simple and was full of honest atmosphere gently stroked the feather of the gray eagle beside him, and after feeding a piece of dried meat to the gray eagle to eat, he suddenly turned towards Li Qin and lifted the spear in his hand.

"Boom ......" The sharp spear of Zhang'er pointed directly at Li Qin, and the silver brilliance flashed on the tip of the snowy spear, although it was still far away, Li Qin had already vaguely felt that a little biting cold light was constantly stimulating his skin.

"This guy's strength is good." Li Qin whispered, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He looked at each other calmly. The other party also looked at him calmly.

In the distant confrontation, neither of them spoke, but each other's thoughts were understood by the other party at the moment when their eyes intertwined.

The other party wanted to surrender by himself, but he refused, so he ...... This battle is inevitable.

Li Qin understood this very well, so he took out the hundred-pound battle axe that he and the three brothers Liu Guanzhang built at the same time from his personal space.
