The Yellow Turban Army implemented Zhang Jiao's strategy: Zhang Sheng threatened Huangfu Song's camp in order to cover his own team collecting grain and grass, forcing Huangfu Song to close the camp and shrink, unable to pay attention to anything else, delaying Huang Fu Song's monitoring of the Yellow Turban Army, which can be regarded as playing Huang Fu Song.

Although there were reports from Malay that night, talking about the movements of the Yellow Turban Army, in the face of the Yellow Turban Army's compelling march, neither Huangfu Song nor Zhu Jun had a good way.

They had a headache, and in desperation, they asked Li Qin: "Yuanhua, what do you have in mind?" ”

Li Qin also smiled bitterly: "In this matter, if Lord Sun and Master Cao have not had an accident, we can still divide our troops to stop them, but now...... Lord Huangfu, can we still gather the corresponding forces? ”

"Why not?" Hearing Li Qin's mention of the intention of dividing troops to kill, Huangfu Song's eyes lit up and he was immediately interested. His view was different from that of Li Qin: "Divide the troops...... We still have troops to separate. At present, Dazhai has been built, and tens of thousands of troops are hoarded here. 10,000 more is not much, 10,000 less is not less...... I think it's still feasible to do this. ”

Huangfu Song set the tone.

"What are you going to do?" Li Qin was also a little curious about this. However, when he asked this sentence, he already had a guess in his heart: "No, Lord Huangfu plans to hand over this matter to my lord." ”

It seems like a very possibility. If you want to divide the troops, it is indeed a feasible thing to release Liu Beijun, who is faintly self-contained.

Sure enough, Li Qin guessed well, and Huangfu Song thought so.

At that moment, he directly ordered: "I want Xuande to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to deal with these two partial armies...... I don't know what Xuande wants? Of course, I won't let you deal with the other party's 40,000 men alone - my opinion is to use the 6,000 men and horses of Xuande's headquarters plus the 2,000 cavalry under the command of Sima Zhang Chao, a total of 8,000 people to exterminate this gang of thieves who are ravaging the place. ”

Huangfu Song said so, although it sounded like a discussion, but everyone understood that this was his final decision. Since it is the final decision, it is useless to argue no matter how much it is. Liu Bei could only nod yes: "No!" ”

At that moment, Liu Bei, who was diligent in royal affairs, was ready to send out the account to raise troops and horses, and prepare to set off tomorrow.

But Li Qin grabbed Liu Bei: "The lord will treat you...... Chasing down the Yellow Turban Army's partial division is not so simple. ”

Li Qin said that he was facing Huangfu Song and arched his hand at him: "Lord Huangfu, the Yellow Turban Army has left more than a day early. If you have to look for the news from the Malays, no one knows where they are going. In order to exterminate this group of wanderers as soon as possible. I implore your Excellency to send me a warrant to ask the counties and counties of Jizhou to cooperate with us and promptly report the location of the Yellow Turban Army's partial division. ”

"Good!" Listening to Li Qin's request, Huangfu Song pondered for a while, and finally nodded yes: "Then it will be as you wish." ”

Huangfu Song said and wrote the warrant that Li Qin wanted on the big account. He wrote so fast that hundreds of words fell on the white silk paper.

After that, he stopped his pen and ordered someone to take out his big seal of the general of the left chariot, and wrote the warrant on the silk paper.

Huangfu Song solemnly handed over this warrant to Liu Bei, and earnestly asked him: "Xuande, I will entrust you with all the things to stop the Yellow Turban Thief from getting food." If you can, I hope you can completely cut off the Yellow Turban Thief's food route. ”

"I'll do my best!" Liu Bei took the warrant from Huangfu Song, arched his hand at Huangfu Song, and hurried out of the camp.

After leaving the big tent, Liu Bei met with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were waiting outside the big tent. Li Qin whispered to Liu Bei and suggested: "Lord, it is a big deal to cut off the Yellow Turban Army's food route and kill the Yellow Turban Division. The lord should send troops overnight...... We were almost a day's trip away from the Yellow Turbans, and we had to make up for it. ”

"Make amends?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows: "Do you mean a forced march?" But how do we know the location of the Yellow Turbans? ”

"West and North...... Let's choose a direction and gallop first, and take out the Yellow Turbans all the way. Li Qin suggested to Liu Bei.

"Good! Just do as you say! Liu Bei trusted Li Qin very much.

When he heard Li Qin say this, he agreed without saying a word: "Then let's go west." Where is the West Side? ”

"To the north of Julu is Zhongshan, and to the west of Julu is Changshan......" Li Qin replied.

"Then let's go to Changshan!" Liu Bei made a decision.

said that he was going to Changshan, but both Li Qin and Liu Bei understood that they didn't have to go that far. It's just a day, and with the turtle speed of the Yellow Turban Army, it's not bad that they can go west to Ren County.

Ren County is in the west of Guangzong, and it is 90 miles away from Guangzong, which is a fairly rear place. Li Qin estimated that the Yellow Turban Army would pass through Ren County, but they might not dare to attack Ren County. After all, Ren County is still too close to Guangzong, and if the Yellow Turban Army makes any trouble here, I'm afraid that Huangfu Song will easily find them.

Naturally, the Yellow Turbans would not be so unwise.

Therefore, Li Qin guessed: "The first place where the Yellow Turban Army attacked should be further west in Ren County." It's not Xiangguo County of Zhao State, or some Zhongqiu and Gaoyi further north......"

“…… Xiangguo and Zhongqiu were the county seats of Zhao State, and Gaoyi was the county seat of Changshan State...... However, this area is very close to Julu County, which is the junction of the three counties. Generally speaking, this kind of junction is where officials are reluctant to take care of it...... The power of the Hao clan is the strongest in this region. After listening to Li Qin's speculation, Liu Ye, who rode a horse to Li Qin's side, said the information he had gotten. Part of this is the news recorded in the classics, and part of it is what Liu Ye heard from his classmates in Yingchuan.

The Yingchuan Academy, built by the Xun family in Yingchuan, is one of the most famous academies in the Central Plains, whether it is the scholars of Hebei, Qing, You, and He, or the geniuses of Yu, Yan, Jing, Xu, and Yang, they all come to Yingchuan to study. They came from all over the world and lived together, so they naturally had the friendship of classmates. Many of Liu Ye's acquaintances are from Jizhou. They usually gossip and joke, and talk to Liu Ye, so that Liu Ye knows a lot about the situation in Jizhou.

Liu Ye thinks these news should not be outdated. So, he took it and told Li Qin.

The imperial power of the Han Dynasty is not lower than that of the county. Below the county level is Haoqiang self-government. The big Haoqiang leads the small Haoqiang, the small Haoqiang leads the small landlords, and the small landlords lead the people, layer upon layer, forming the framework of the Han Village. The big heroes have the territory of the big heroes, and the small heroes have the territory of the small heroes. Generally speaking, most of the big and powerful people live in counties and counties. And the place similar to the junction of the three counties is the territory where Xiao Haoqiang lives.

"The strength of these people shouldn't be strong! After all, it's Xiao Haoqiang. Li Qin rode on a horse with his armor on his head, trotting with the team, and he whispered to Liu Ye as he ran.

"Of course, Xiao Haoqiang is Xiao Haoqiang, how can their strength be compared with the big family...... The Great Family was able to build a dock fort and collect thousands of families. Xiao Haoqiang, it's good to have hundreds of people. Liu Ye nodded as a matter of course when he heard this.

"I'm afraid that's all the Yellow Turbans are staring at this time." Li Qin listened to this judgment and made such a judgment.

He immediately stepped forward, rushed to Liu Bei's side, and told Liu Ye about the situation and his analysis of Liu Bei. He asked Liu Bei to send someone to Ren County on a fast horse, and handed over the warrant of Huangfu Song to Ren County, so that he could mobilize his subordinates to convey the news that the Yellow Turban Army was going westward, and asked Ren County to mobilize the township to explore the situation at the junction of the three counties.

"It's a good thing!" When Liu Bei heard Li Qin say this, he was immediately overjoyed. He asked Li Qin: "Who will handle this matter?" ”

"I watched the drama to deal with this matter. He has the ability and the decisiveness...... In addition, send Yide to lead 500 cavalry to follow, I think it will be no problem. Li Qin suggested.

"Pai Yide followed, are you afraid of ......" Liu Bei was slightly surprised when he heard Li Qin's arrangement.

"Just in case." Li Qin whispered.

"Okay!" Liu Bei was persuaded by Li Qin. He ordered someone to invite Zhang Fei and Xi Zhicai to come over, and assigned the task in a few words, so that the two of them led five hundred light horsemen to hurry first, while Liu Bei himself led the army to follow.

After trotting all the way forward, Liu Beijun finally arrived at the city of Ren County when the sky was bright. Zhang Fei and Xi Zhicai, who had arrived in Ren County first, went out of the city to welcome Liu Bei's arrival with the county commander of Ren County.

During the journey to the county government, Zhang Fei and Xi Zhicai reported to Liu Bei about the situation in Ren County.

Everything was as Li Qin judged, and the Yellow Turban Army tried to raid the place starting from Ren County. That night, the Yellow Turban Army dispatched Nei Ying to provoke turmoil in Ren County, and Ren County Commander led the county's strong young men to resist the Yellow Turban Army. However, their numbers were too small, and under the attack of the 20,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army, Ren County was in danger.

Fortunately, Xi Zhicai and Zhang Fei led 500 cavalry to arrive in time, inserted into the Yellow Turban Army formation from the rear, and made a big soldier descend, causing the Yellow Turban Army to disperse and flee, saving Ren County.

Ren County Commander was grateful to Xi Zhicai and Zhang Fei, and after seeing the warrant of the Left Cavalry General brought by Xi Zhicai, he honestly cooperated with Xi Zhicai's order, not only began to mobilize the county's heroes, but also spread the surrounding counties, so that they were ready to guard against the Yellow Turban Army.

After a busy day in Ren County, Liu Bei's Tanma also reported the latest situation.

"The Yellow Turban Army really went north and went to the junction of the three counties to prey...... Yuanhua, this is just as you guessed. After reading the information in the spy newspaper, Liu Bei said with a smile to Li Qin, who was waiting beside him.

"They hit a nail in Ren County, and they knew that they were not strong enough, so they ...... They chose to travel to him out of predation. In order to ensure that they can complete the task, they need to avoid the real and eat a few soft persimmons to improve their power...... Moreover, compared to the places south of Julu, Changshan and Zhao, which were close to Bingzhou, did not suffer any Yellow Turban Army. It's a new place for them, just in time to open up. Therefore, where they choose becomes inevitable. Li Qin said with a smile.

"So what are we going to do?" Liu Bei asked again.

"Approaching cautiously...... Now that they have chosen a place to prey, their speed will inevitably slow down. All we have to do is sneak in and strike a fatal blow on them when they're not on guard. The Yellow Turbans are a bunch of go-getters, and while this strategy is simple, it works wonders for them. Li Qin suggested with a smile.

"Is that so...... Liu Bei pondered for a while, and finally made a decision: "Okay, then do as you say." ”
