Chapter Ninety-Nine: Qingjian City

Beidi County is located at the junction of Liangzhou, Bingzhou and Sizhou.

This is the throat of the place, extremely important, if the north county as a springboard, the west can guard the Qiang tribe, the north can be aggressive and merge the state, the east can approach Luoyang.

Beidi County is also the hometown of Huangfu Song, who once served as the Taishou of Beidi.

When he first came to Beidi County, Jiang Xiaobai first asked Wang Lin to investigate the local situation, and took this opportunity to take a short rest for the army.

Soon, news came from the front of Wang Lin.

"General, General Wang, he is in the northwest, fifteen kilometers away from Qingjian City, and found a large number of enemy traces, suspected of Han troops trapped in the city."

"Tell Wang Lin not to act rashly, and the army will arrive later."

"Order."

After the scouts left, Jiang Xiaobai instructed his guards to bring the map and spread it out, Qingjian City was adjacent to Luoshui, and its back was to merge with the state.

Qingjian City is the only way to Liangzhou from Bingzhou.

"It can't be Dong Zhuo's unlucky bastard, right?"

Since he decided to come to Liangzhou, Jiang Xiaobai should certainly make no less preparations, he knew that this time Emperor Liu Hong issued an edict, in addition to letting Huangfu Song move to Guanzhong, return to Chang'an, and Weiyuan Mausoleum, there is also an edict.

That is to reactivate Dong Zhuo, make his army defeated and convicted, and cooperate with Huangfu Song to fight.

Coincidentally, Dong Zhuo was named Zhonglang General on this trip!

In other words, Jiang Xiaobai and Dong Zhuo are both Zhonglang generals, and their positions are equal, but Jiang Xiaobai came under the name of Huangfu Song, and according to the emperor's edict, Huang Fusong was named the general of the left chariot cavalry.

The gap between the general of the left car and the general of the middle car is like a chasm.

The former is the prime minister of the country, and the latter is barely a mayor.

Jiang Xiaobai did it intentionally, so the army under his command was relatively slow, and according to the time calculation, Dong Zhuo's army from Bingzhou should arrive in Liangzhou four or five days earlier than him.

"Qingjian City is an important city connecting the two states of Liang and Liang, you know with your toes that the Qiang people will regard it as a fortress and send heavy troops to garrison it, this Dong Zhuo is too silly!"

Combined with the location of Qingjian City on the map and the time when the armies of the two sides arrived in Liangzhou, Jiang Xiaobai quickly deduced that the Han army trapped in Qingjian City must be Dong Zhuo's army.

As it turned out, he was right.

When Jiang Xiaobai led the army and came to the outside of Qingjian City, they were far away, but they could see Dong Zhuo's military flag flying in the wind on the city.

"How, Yun Chang, I'm amazing!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Guan Yu beside him proudly, Guan Yu is a typical person who doesn't talk much, when he analyzed, although Guan Yu didn't speak, the doubt in his eyes was inescapable of Jiang Xiaobai's keen perception.

After a moment of silence, Guan Yu nodded.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai grinned happily, Guan Yu was similar to Zhang Fei at the beginning, and he would definitely be despised when he didn't show the power to convince him.

As recorded in the Three Kingdoms, after Zhuge Liang was recruited, he was initially despised by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and later Master Zhuge burned Bowangpo, which made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei convinced.

However, it is not easy to convince Guan Yu completely.

When Jiang Xiaobai was in Zhuo County, Zhang Fei he met was at most a fierce general, so he easily took Zhang Fei under his command.

But after this period of time, Jiang Xiaobai was stunned to find that Guan Yu seemed to have had an adventure, and his martial arts were extraordinary, and he had learned from Wang Lin, Zhang Fei and others who had taken the elixir, and he did not fall behind at all.

And this is still when Guan Yu did not use weapons.

Once Guan Yu used his Blue Dragon Glaive Knife, none of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Wang Lin would be his opponents, and only the three of them could work together to match the battle.

Of course, Zhang Fei's nirvana, the rainbow fart, was not used.

The Blue Dragon Glaive Knife, Jiang Xiaobai had seen it with his phantom pupil, and he saw that the knife contained the remnant soul of a dragon, and the breath was weak, if he didn't have the heart to investigate, it would be difficult to find out.

This is Guan Yu's personal creation, although Jiang Xiaobai is curious, he didn't ask much, but there is no doubt that it is not easy to subdue Guan Yu, who is arrogant and strong.

"Jiang Ye, you are like a god, it is indeed Dong Zhuo's army trapped in the city, a total of more than 10,000 people, and there are about 20,000 rebels besieging the city, most of them are Han people, only a small part is Qiang people, the two sides have been deadlocked with each other for three days and three nights, and they are very tired." Wang Lin reported the battle situation in detail.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded: "Order, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are on standby, in case the Qiang people have other backs, Yun Chang and I will personally lead the army to attack the Qiang people's buttocks." ”

Qingjian City.

Dong Zhuo stood on the city wall, condescendingly looking at the Qiang people who surrounded the entire Qingjian City, and he sighed deeply.

Three days ago, Dong Zhuo led the army to Liangzhou, and before entering Qingjian City, he sent scouts to inquire about the situation, and only after learning that there was no danger did he lead the army into Qingjian City.

On the one hand, the army is resting, and on the other hand, it is natural to wait for the arrival of the main army of Huangfu Song.

Before leaving, Dong Zhuo calculated very well, he was in Bingzhou and was very close to Liangzhou, so he set off two days late, so that he could arrive in Liangzhou at the same time as the Huangfu Song army that set off from Jizhou.

However, Li Dao and Guo Yan under Dong Zhuo made suggestions on the side, saying that it was not necessary for him to arrive in Liangzhou at the same time as Huangfu Song, and it didn't matter how late or few days it was.

Li Dao and Guo Yan's plan was to let Huangfu Song's army do a minesweeper, and the later Dong Zhuo's army could sit back and enjoy its success.

This is a good idea, Dong Zhuo readily agreed.

However, they did not calculate that the main force of the Han army was because of Jiang Xiaobai, and the seven-day journey was dragged on until the tenth day.

In this way, Dong Zhuo's army arrived in Liangzhou three days earlier than Jiang Xiaobai's army, and Dong Zhuo's army naturally became a minesweeper.

An army from Bingzhou arrived at the border of Liangzhou, and the news was soon known to the rebels, so the rebels laid a trap and invited you to enter the urn, preparing to close the door and beat the dogs.

In order to prepare this ambush well, the rebels deliberately transferred many horses from other areas of Beidi County, totaling more than 20,000 people, in order to annihilate Dong Zhuo's army with a thunderous move and extinguish the arrogance of the Han court.

Dong Zhuo was so unlucky, in the eyes of the rebels, he became the chicken that set an example for the monkey.

However, Dong Zhuo's army was not vegetarian, and the folk customs of Bingzhou and Liangzhou were known for their fierceness, and in the face of the ambush set up by the rebels in advance, he led more than 10,000 Han troops to fight and retreat, and retreated to Qingjian City at a very small cost.

However, Dong Zhuo retreated to Qingjian City, playing into the hands of the rebels.

The water source in Qingjian City was destroyed by the rebels in advance, as long as Dong Zhuo's army was surrounded in the city, there was no need to attack, only to wait.

After ten days and half a month, he will be able to break through Qingjian City at an extremely weak cost.

I have to say that the rebels' plan is wonderful, provided that there is no Jiang Xiaobai.
