The dark tide in Liangzhou is surging, and the Central Plains is full of war.

Ma Yue was ordered by Zhonglang to send Lu Zhi and Cao Poshi, the captain of the Yue cavalry, to Sili to recruit troops, and Sili at this time was also a mess.

The general He Jin ordered Yuan Shao and others to clear the rebels in Sili, and Yuan Shao attacked the Yellow Turban Qushuai Chen in the right Fufeng, and was defeated and killed nearly 1,000 ranks. Back in Luoyang, the Lang official beside Ma Yue submitted the battle report to His Majesty, and it took more than a month to go back and forth, recruiting 3,000 warriors. It didn't take long to recruit soldiers, and Han Jiaerlang had never been afraid of the battlefield, but the procedure of opening the arsenal and getting military uniforms took some time.

It was difficult for the counties and counties to defend against the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but the main force of the three lieutenant generals was still more victorious and less defeated. The general plan of the court officials was not disrupted, and Lu Zhi won a big victory in Jizhou, dragging the main force of the Yellow Turban. Zhu Jun fought a few small battles in Yingchuan, but they were all more victories and fewer defeats, and Huangfu Song fought and won wherever he went.

Liu Hong, a regular servant, ordered heroic rangers from all over the country to build their own volunteers to fight against the Yellow Turban, and Liu Hong issued an edict that in addition to Jizhou, many volunteers have emerged in various places. There are wealthy families, and there are also poor people.

In April, Ma Yue led his troops to leave Luoyang for Dongjun, and two war reports reached Luoyang.

Lu Zhi captured Yecheng and surrounded the Yellow Turban under the city of Guangzong. A big win on the northern front.

Zhu Jun's troops fought against the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai, and were defeated for a while, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's two divisions retreated to Changshe and were trapped in the city by Bocai's army. Cao Cao, the cavalry commander, led his troops outside the Yuyuan Pass, and the north of Yingchuan rushed in all directions, pursuing the thieves who attacked the Han army's grain route on the southern front, and at the same time ensuring the safety of the grain route and being unable to go to the aid.

Later, Cao Poshi led 1,500 cavalry north to Yecheng to support Lu Zhi, while Liu Hong ordered Ma Yue to go to Yanzhou to exterminate the Yellow Turban in Dongjun, so as to clear the way for the main forces of the Han army, Huangfu Song and Zhu Junbu, to move north in the future.

These days, war reports from all over the country drifted into Luoyang like snowflakes, and Liu Hong was busy and dizzy.

……

Ma Yue left Luoyang all the way to the east, out of the tiger prison, crossed the Luoshui, and entered the boundary of Yanzhou, when the season was almost May.

In the western part of Yanzhou, there is a small county named Yan, which was not occupied by the Yellow Turbans. Ma Yue camped here to rest, and the soldiers were exhausted from the hurried road for several days, and they also needed supplies.

In the southern suburbs of Yan County, Ma Yue circled a vacant land for the camping of the Changshui camp, although the southern suburbs of any county town have been used to kill people since ancient times, but Ma Yue didn't care about these, he and these men came here to kill people. What's more, there are markets in the east and west of the county, and there is a township pavilion in the north, and only the southern suburbs can let him camp.

Guan Yu and Xu Huang were sent out by Ma Yue to report the news, and the soldiers began to make food and rest, Ma Yue and Yang Feng Yan Xing squatted on the ground and looked at the map, frowning.

Ma Yue was also a little worried, these people he led were no longer the elite of the Han army, but the emergency conscription troops of the war, although they had good uniforms and doubled their number, but the overall strength of this 1,500 people was not as good as the previous more than 700 cavalry.

Not long after, Guan Yu came with Xu Huang and a man on horseback, dismounted at the camp gate, and strode towards Ma Yue.

"Hu Bao, the magistrate of Xiaguan Yan County, has seen Captain Changshui."

The county magistrate was wearing a cloth shirt and no official uniform, if it weren't for the self-reported home Ma Yue really couldn't see that it was a county magistrate, nodded and waved his hand, Ma Yue said: "Hu Xianzun doesn't have to be polite, he was summoned to ask for thieves to pass through Guixian, and camped here to disturb the villagers, and I hope that the county will not be blamed." ”

"Don't blame, don't blame, Captain, you came at the right time, the thieves are huge, the people are in chaos, you can appease the people, the people know that the elite of the five battalions of the Han Dynasty are stationed in this county, and they are busy taking out the stored grain to make grain and grass for you, there are more than 80 cars, and the officials will send someone to send it later."

"Thank you." Ma Yue arched his hand and said to the county magistrate: "The people's kindness is in their hearts, but our people don't need so much baggage, you can send me fifty carts, and the rest will be returned to the people, and the grain should be kept to live...... This yellow turban thief made a fuss, and this year's harvest was in vain. ”

Hu Bao didn't dwell on this topic anymore, but followed Ma Yue's words and said: "Yes, I really don't know when I will be a leader." ”

Ma Yue suddenly thought of something, raised his eyes and asked, "County Venerable, do you know what the situation in Yanzhou is now?" Which counties in Dongjun are under the occupation of thieves? ”

"What does the subordinate say...... said, Hu Bao saw the map laid by Ma Yue on the ground, and said to Ma Yue: "Captain, can you allow the subordinate to talk about the map?" ”

"It's nature."

"Captain, please see, this is Yan County, two hundred miles east of Yan County through Baima to Puyang all the way is safe, after crossing the river to the northeast direction of Dunqiu, Weiguo, Dong'e situation is not known, but I heard some time ago the people who fled by ferry said that there are a lot of yellow scarves over there, their Qu Shuai is called Bu Ji, there are tens of thousands of thieves entrenched in Dongping, so there are many thieves in several counties on the north bank of Luoshui who killed officials and rebelled. Captain, let your subordinates say something that you don't like. ”

As he spoke, Hu Bao leaned in front of Ma Yue, lowered his voice and said, "You can take these three counties in the northeast with more than 1,000 people to try to investigate the situation, and don't go over Dongping." He shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous." ”

"Well, thank you for the reminder."

The county magistrate Hu Bao was stunned for a while and left, and Ma Yue stared at the map for a long time.

Guan Yu asked, "San Lang is thinking about how to break the enemy?"

"It's Yun Chang." Ma Yue looked up and saw that it was Guan Yu, shook his head and smiled, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "I don't know what the situation is in the three northern counties of Dongjun, and it's useless to think about it." ”

"I'm thinking, what the county of Yanxian said is right, we people...... It's really not enough to see, Yun Chang, are you ready? ”

"Huh?" Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed and he smiled: "At some point, I am ready to make contributions to San Lang." ”

Ma Yue shook his head with a smile, grabbed Guan Yu's arm and said: "When Si Li was recruiting, because the original Sima of other departments was killed, I gave His Majesty a performance and asked you to come to the position of Sima of this army, although it is not an important position, Yun Chang can try his hand first." ”

Jun Sima, also known as Sima of the other department, is more than Qianshi's official position, and his official position is the same as that of a large county and county order. It's just that Guan Yu, the acting army Sima, has some sayings, and the subordinate officer who died in battle can be named as the acting official for the time being. But the end of the war is not countable.

Despite this, this is already the biggest official position that Ma Yue can perform, Ma Yue understands, and Guan Yu also understands.

Guan Yu pursed his lips and nodded heavily, and said to Ma Yue: "San Lang, what a ......."

As soon as Guan Yu said two words, Ma Yue stretched out a finger to his lips, then waved his hand and said: "Compared to what you did for me, this is nothing, since Your Majesty already knows about this matter, these days Yun Chang will take the position of Sima of this army, and I will inform the whole army when I march again." ”

"In that case, Yun Chang listens to the order." Ma Yue straightened his expression and said: "I order you to go to Yan County immediately to recruit soldiers, I will repair a letter and pass it to the county order, open the arsenal to lead the troops, and recruit five hundred infantry." ”
