Downstream of Tianjingze, Anping on the south bank, Qingzhou Yellow Turban Daying.

Since the rooster crows, the faint sound of fighting, accompanied by a faint smell of blood, drifts down with the wind from upstream. Poured into the big camp.

The Yellow Turban Army guarding the large camp was like a great enemy, and they whispered to each other. Somehow.

The sky was about to be revealed, and there was a group of routed soldiers in yellow scarves and armor, crying for their fathers and mothers, and fled outside the camp.

"We are under the command of Guo Qushuai, Zhongshan Yellow Turban! Attacked when crossing the river in Kuchengjin, please go to the rescue as soon as possible! Hurry up and come to the rescue—"

The yellow turban soldiers on the wall did not dare to open the gate of the wall. This called the guards and asked from above. After a while, the guard general informed Zhang Rao, the commander of the Qingzhou canal in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Zhang Rao thought about it for a while, and then said: "This is the plan of the Han army, and the arrows will disperse it." ”

"Whoa!" The guard hesitated a little and took the order.

If Qu Shuai is really so determined, why not shoot arrows indiscriminately, but just drive away.

With a sigh in his heart, the guards re-ascended the camp wall, shouted orders left and right, and scattered the routs with arrows.

Seeing that the rout was far away from a stone's throw away, he looked at the city and wept. The yellow turban defenders on the wall are all unbearable. They will be comrades.

It is precisely because of the proximity to the Yellow Turban Camp in Qingzhou, Anping, that they can take care of each other, so Zhang Niujiao chose to cross the water in 'Kuchengjin'.

In other words, the two places are less than 100 miles apart, how can the Han army defeat Zhang Niujiao's 50,000 soldiers and horses under their noses.

Zhang Rao picked up the lamp and approached and watched it carefully on the map of mountains and rivers in Jizhou. Look down the water from the 'bitter Jin'. When passing by Tianjingzawa, there was a sudden condensation.

"It's not good, the Thistle Water Army!"

If you want to talk about the naval fleet of the thistle country, how strong. The waters of Jizhou can be said to be allowed to run rampant.

The sails are easily unfurled. It's all powered by paddle wheels. Covered in enamel armor, the sword is difficult to hurt. Fei Lu, Jue indoor crossbowmen, high shots. Ballista nets were also lined up on the deck. In case of a big ship, the bronze hook refuses. When it encounters a small boat, it will be overturned. It's really unbreakable. Therefore, the water thieves in Jizhou could not avoid fear.

'Henghaixu, quickly give way', and 'there is a thistle in the north, Mo Zongyi', is also famous.

It must lie in the Tianjingze, take advantage of the starry night to cross the river, and hit halfway. The ship of Jiguoming is rampant, and under the chaotic arrows, the ferry will be overturned, and the floating corpses will become a mountain.

Taking a deep breath of cool air, Zhang Rao stabilized his mind: "Someone! Quickly go to inform the defenders in Anping City, and they must strictly guard the city, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Whoa!"

In order to win the hearts of the army, train soldiers. Qingzhou Yellow Turban Camp, away from the city. In the north of Anping City, camp on a high platform. Around the high platform, and build a number of large camps, from a distance, heavy buildings stacked on top of each other, flags cover the sun. Spectacular. There are tens of thousands of Qingzhou Yellow Turban elites stationed there.

"(Lushui) and through the north of Anping County, Mang said Guangwang Pavilion. There is a platform in the north of the city, commonly known as the goddess building. ”

In Anping City, there is another garrison. There are more than 200,000 old and weak families in the Acropolis. Jizhou riots. Such as Anping Cui's dock fort, and other big clan dock forts, were also broken by the rebel army. The thieves plundered the money and grain stored in the fort. Burned again. Fortunately, the Cui clan members all moved into the outer city of Linxiang and lived in peace, avoiding the war.

Most of the Jizhou clans have avoided the country of Ji. Only the soldiers were left in the fort. Therefore, as soon as the thief arrived, he looked at the wind and descended. Caught up in the rebellious army, he became a rogue gangster. Jizhou is a big state. The population is large. There are not a few people who have been coerced into the Yellow Turban Army. It is rumored that there are millions of yellow scarves in Jizhou, or it is not a lie. There are discrepancies, and there is not much difference.

However, in terms of combat power alone. Capture and break the thief, the second colonel of the Ji Kingdom, 5,000 slaughtering 50,000, is an example.

When the morning dawns, the upstream fight resumes.

The Yellow Turban battalions guarded the walled city. Don't dare to relax in the slightest.

Before the middle of the day, a large group of men and horses came to the camp.

"Don't let go of the arrows, don't let the arrows go!" Before they could get closer, several rangers shouted loudly: "I am under the command of Guo Qushuai of Zhongshan, don't let go of arrows!" ”

The guard on the wall shouted and asked: "Since it is Zhongshan Paoze, why did you lead the troops to rush my Dazhai!" ”

"Zhang Qushuai led us to Guangzong in the south, but unexpectedly encountered an ambush in 'Kuchengjin', and most of the people and horses were lost. Zhang Qushuai was also injured by the captain of Jiguo's capture and was unconscious. I beg all the brothers to open up the net and let us avoid entering! ”

"Wait!" The wall guarded the general, and went to the big tent to report.

Knowing the details, Zhang Rao's face darkened. Unfortunately, he was right. The country of Ji took advantage of Zhang Niujiao to cross the river lightly, and attacked half-crossing. and even an army of 50,000 was defeated in one day.

"Can Zhang Niujiao be in the team?" Zhang Rao asked again.

"Yes." The guard thought in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Covered in gauze, I don't know whether I live or die, and I don't see my face." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Rao is still not at ease. Pacing back and forth in the tent, unable to make up his mind for a moment.

It was a matter of life and death, and the guards did not dare to ask more.

During the stalemate, I heard the soldiers come to report: "Report, another large group of men and horses are coming straight to the camp!" ”

"Humph!" Zhang Rao snorted coldly: "As I expected." This is the trick of the thistle country! ”

"Herald ......"

"Report!" Before the 'chaotic arrow dispersal' was exported, another soldier came to report: "It's Guo Qushuai in person!" ”

"W-What?" Zhang Rao was stunned. I didn't come back to my senses.

"Report to the Qu Shuai, the person who came is the Zhongshan Daying Qu Shuai, Guo Zu." The soldier replied.

"And, let me take a look." Zhang Rao gritted his teeth and said.

First the rout, then there was a bull's horn, and now Guo Zu is here. "Three people become a city tiger". Even if Zhang Rao was suspicious in his heart, he would be suspicious and had to believe it.

Climb the tower, look at it from a high vantage point, stand alone on a horse, and stand in front of the army, isn't it Guo Zu in person.

Zhang Rao was completely relieved in the end. But he hugged his fists and asked: "Dare to ask Guo Qushuai, because of this?" ”

"Alas, it's hard to put into words." Guo Zu hurriedly said: "At the beginning of Pingdan, there were soldiers who went south and fled back to the camp, saying that they were ambushed in 'Kushanjin', and most of the men and horses were lost. The southward canal commander Zhang Niujiao has crossed the river first. Trapped on the south bank, life and death are unknown. The military situation was urgent, so I personally led the army and galloped south to help. Unexpectedly, the road met the essence of the thistle country, so he fought and walked. Seeing that it was surrounded, he hurriedly repaired the pontoon bridge that had been broken before, and crossed the river to throw. Although the pontoon bridge has been destroyed, the army of the Thistle Kingdom is behind him, and it is a moment away. Qu Shuai must not be suspicious, and quickly let me into the camp for temporary refuge. Thank you! ”

In fact, Zhang Rao still had doubts in his heart. And then again and again, and again and again. Now that Guo Zu is here, how can he see death and not save him.

"If Zhang Qushuai has any difficulties, he will leave. Leave! After speaking, Guo Zu turned his horse's head and wanted to leave.

"Wait!" In front of everyone's eyes, how could Zhang Rao see death and not save him. Then he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Fall off the bridge and raise the gate, and let Guo Qushuai enter the camp!" ”

"Whoa!" The guards finally breathed a sigh of relief. This ordered the drawbridge to be lowered and the floodgates to be raised.

Zhang Rao hugged his fists in the building and said: "Guo Qushuai must not be suspicious, let's enter the camp quickly." ”

"Thank you Zhang Qushuai!" Guo Zu was grateful for the gift. The corners of his mouth suddenly flashed a sly smile.

Zhang Rao didn't see it. Lang Sheng smiled: "They are all their own brothers, Guo Qushuai doesn't need to see outside." ”
