The great river near winter is extraordinarily calm and serene, and the mirror-like river flows quietly in the river, and there are not even a few waves to be seen, and there is no way to see the furious, cruel and irresistible momentum of this mother who is not too kind when she is flooded.

In the thick river fog, a pitch-black shadow sounded with a slight crisp sound, the white fog was cut by the blazing snort, and a cavalryman leading a horse appeared there, carefully stepped to the river, looked left and right, and lifted a strange small tube from his neck to look back and forth, and then he took out a small bamboo whistle from his pocket with all the tools and blew it sharply three times.

A minute later, more crisp horses' hooves sounded, and a large group of cavalry dragged the war horses also appeared on the bank of the river mist, and the war horses couldn't wait to walk into the river, lowering their blazing heads and gurgling into their stomachs to pour river water, here, people and animals are surprisingly equal, right next to their war horses, those Cao soldiers are also holding the cool Yellow River water in their hands to their mouths, quenching their thirst and drinking.

"Why don't you come?"

Not only did he drink, but he also washed his face happily, and his head full of water droplets poked out of the water, and the wolf dog-like general with a rather Xiqiang style on his head and a thick and stiff beard on his face turned around and looked back honestly to greet him.

It is said that the wife is from her husband, this time Cao Hongjie did not come, Wang Hou inherited her title, Dongjun Taishou and Yanzhou transfer envoy, Wang Hou is now also the king envoy.

Listening to Zhang Liao's warm greeting there, Wang Hou shook his head in admiration, and at the same time patted the small silver kettle he hung on the horse coat and wrapped in leather.

"General Zhang invites himself, Wang has it!"

"Envoy, you're too hypocritical! The husband walks in the fields, and he has to drink water everywhere! If you are hypocritical, the water has to be boiled and served in a silver kettle, and I, Zhang Wenyuan, will die a long time ago! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao was still very proud, but Wang Hou, who listened to it, shook his head greatly.

"General Zhang's hard perseverance, Wang admires, but the general believes it or not, if you also go to Mobei or Jiangnan, Wang drinks boiling water, the general drinks raw water, and when the general has dysentery, Wang will not have dysentery!"

If he is a proud martial artist, he will laugh at Wang Hou's boasting, and even open his mouth to mock a few words, but Zhang Liao can be the first of the five good generals from the first order, the general of Wei, he is a caring person, and Wang Hou has changed from Yexiang Cangcao to Bashi Taishou, his reputation for erudition and strength has become famous in Xu Du, and after hesitating, Zhang Liao is humbly hugging his fist.

"Oh? What do you mean by this? ”

"When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty struck Hu, the Huns threw a large number of dead cattle and sheep into the river in the Battle of Mobei, which caused an epidemic in our Han army, and hundreds of thousands died.

"Miasma!"

Zhang Liao's answer is the standard answer of this era, miasma is really a magical thing! It is it that causes the plague, it is it that causes dysentery! Cause the wind chill or it! But as soon as Zhang Liao finished answering, Wang Hou hurriedly asked.

"What the hell is that miasma!"

"This ......"

This sentence made Zhang Liao dumbfounded, if he knew what it was, why did the ancients use miasma as a comparison, fortunately, the army had limited time to rest and drink water, and Wang Hou didn't sell it, and directly set it up with one finger.

"Miasma is a worm! The living insects are so small that they are invisible to the naked eye, but they are extremely large swarms! In the battle of Mobei, the dead cattle and dead sheep thrown by the Huns into the river to rot provided a hotbed for the development of pests in the river water, and the water quality deteriorated, exceeding the content of insects in the ordinary raw water drunk by the soldiers, so the soldiers who went to Mobei would have epidemics, and the northerners went to the south, or the southerners went to the north, and they were not adapted to the components of the insects contained in the local water, so there would be dysentery that was not adapted to the soil and water! ”

In fact, only drinking boiled water, Wang can be regarded as weakening himself, because of the boiled water, most of the live insects in the water are also killed, so it is impossible to let the body adapt to these insects, and in the long run, Wang will be even more unsuitable for the local raw water! However, every time you insist on drinking boiled water, at least the chance of Wang being infected by water diseases can be minimized! ”

Microbiology did not appear until the nineteenth century with a microscope, and Zhang Liao couldn't understand it at all to directly explain bacteria or viruses, so Wang Hou also summarized it as a simple worm, but even so, Zhang Liao's old face turned pale, and he looked at the Yellow River water under his feet, as if he saw countless small insects twisting and twisting, and he asked a little stumbling.

"Envoy, how do you know?"

"Because I've seen it!"

Wang Hou is really not bragging, even if he is a liberal arts student, he has done microscope experiments in junior high school and high school, has seen chlorophyll, and when he went to the hospital for a urine test, he has peeked at the doctor's screen, and he can be regarded as seeing streptococcus, not to mention some disgusting medical advertisements in later generations.

Fortunately, something soon distracted him, and suddenly there was a scout cavalry on the shore who rushed back frantically with their horses, shouting loudly.

"Where is the general? Where is the general? There is an enemy in the East! There is an enemy in the East! ”

Zhang Liao, who heard this, didn't care about any insects or insects, he shouted loudly in a panic: "Get on the horse!" Launched! ”

The roar actually didn't work here, there were more than 5,000 Cao army cavalry on the shore, including the Hezhou cavalry and the Xiliang cavalry under Lü Bu who were incorporated in Xuzhou, and everywhere there was the sound of horses gulping water, Zhang Liao's military orders could not be transmitted far at all, fortunately, in order to deal with large-scale wars, the Chinese had a way to deal with it early, and his roar directly ordered the three general flags of the Chinese army, and Daqi waved and passed the order to the nearby Quqi Department flag, and the shaking of one flag after another, Regardless of whether they were full of water or not, the cavalry all got on their horses one after another, and in the sound of crackling horses' hooves, the five thousand cavalry also reformed the array, followed Zhang Liao's banner, and once again dived into the thick fog.

Closely following Zhang Liao's horse, Wang Hou's heart was fluttering and fluttering.

In the Battle of Xiapi, he participated completely as a quartermaster, although the fight was lively, but he did not actually participate in the war, and with Zhang Liao out of the army, Wang Hou actually had an unknown position of real power.

Strategist!

This meant that he also had to personally go to war.

There is no way, the plan can't catch up with the rapid change, originally he was in the Guandu camp, gathering grain and grass from all over Yanzhou, and planning to store grain, preparing to build a supply station, in case Yuan Shaojun may be about to loot grain and support the supply line of the long war, but just when Wang Hou was busy, there was a new military situation on the front line, following Chun Yuqiong forced to land in Wang Hou's Puyang, Yuan Shao's general Wen Chou was the overseer of 20,000 troops, and forcibly crossed the Yellow River to surround the White Horse City, which was guarded by only 26,700 people.

In addition, an unknown number, but an incomparably large number of Yuan Shao's main corps appeared in Tangque, due north.

Before the war was written, Yuan Shao had already completed the mobilization of the four northern states, and the Hebei army had already taken the lead in entering the battlefield and launching an attack!

At this time, Cao Cao's main force went straight to the Yanjin ferry further west, because compared with the Baima ferry, the water in Yanjin was more gentle, and it was more suitable for the large army to cross the river, Cao Cao and Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Liu Hua and others were more inclined to Yuan Shao to cross the Yellow River again, but they didn't expect to be shown by Yuan Shao.

At this time, the three thousand old troops of Zhang Liaobu stationed near Zhami County who surrendered from Xuzhou happened to arrive at the battlefield, and after mixing with the two thousand cavalry of the rear team, they were directly sent to the battlefield to form a new attack cluster.

Cao Cao didn't expect Wang Hou to come up with many ideas, his most important task was to watch Zhang Liao, the general, and prevent him from turning back!

One man carried a pot of arrows, fifteen dried steamed buns, and some salt-sauced tempeh, and the five thousand cavalry set off.

Today is the third day of the march to Hakuba!

It is said that the emergence of artillery has changed the pattern of war! However, Wang Hou believes that the appearance of the telescope also changed the pattern of war, at least here.

Three miles away, the battlefield of White Horse City was full of hustle and bustle, shouting and shouting, and three miles away, on the great plain south of White Horse City, dozens of shields with caliper herringbones were put together, Zhang Liao and Wang Hou climbed up like ladders together, and together they picked up the crystal polished telescope and looked at the White Horse City in the northeast.

This is the first time he has used it, even Zhang Liao can't help but be like a dirt bun and constantly gasp in surprise, and after a while, he turned back to Wang Hou and sighed.

"This is really an artifact! The whole battlefield is in my eyes! ”

What kind of artifact is this! Not to mention the atomic bomb, if you were given a machine gun, you wouldn't be able to sleep with your arms in your arms! Ignoring Zhang Liao's compliments, Wang Hou was engrossed in the battlefield in front of him, and the situation on the battlefield was really bad at this time!

No wonder it is said that the Battle of Guandu was one of the three major battles that changed the situation in the late Han Dynasty, and the difference in strength between the two sides is really too great! Only Wen Chou, a partial division under White Horse City, is already about the same size as the main force of the Cao army that Wang Hou saw in Guandu, and Yuan Shao was born in the third prince, and the family is in the phase, and the background is much stronger than Cao Jun, who became a monk halfway, which can be seen from the configuration of science and technology.

The circumference is only 1,600 meters, close to 400 by 400 small white horse ferry post city, more than three meters less than four meters near the city wall, but it is densely surrounded by more than 20 towering huge carriages, this thing is the prototype of Yuan Jun suppressing Cao Jun Tushan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is a kind of building car close to five or six meters high, the front of the car is wrapped in raw cowhide shield, and the knot surrounds one side to resist the attack, above the car is a wooden building fence of dozens of square meters, dozens of archers are densely arrayed on it, It was actually a head higher than the city wall, condescending, and kept shooting at the Cao army under the forbidden command on the head of the city.

Under the city wall, there are also Yuan Jun pushing the ladder, hurrying close to the city wall, in the past, Wang Hou thought that a long wooden ladder, that thing is a ladder, in fact, it is not at all, the ladder was created by Lu Ban, it is also an ancient heavy chariot, the shape is a bit like a plesiosaur, there are eight wheels, more than ten meters long, there is a small platform of stairs in the middle of three meters, and the front is a suspension bridge with a slope of four or five meters long, and there is a sharp hook and sickle on the suspension bridge, looking at Wang Hou can already imagine, a thing hooked the battlements, for a while, Cao's army could not be destroyed, and along the sloping staircase, Yuan's army could rush up the city wall like tap water.

Whether it is the number of people or equipment, Yuan Shaojun has the upper hand, and the forbidden army of Yu, which has been holding on for three days, has been beaten with a blue nose and swollen face under such a strong offensive at this time, and the Cao army, who was killed by the arrow, was pulled on the battlements, and the shouting of killing on the city wall facing the cloud ladder shook the sky, and the Yuan army in yellow armor and the Cao army in black armor fought together in a few square meters.

"General Zhang, White Horse City should be almost unsupportable! We should march quickly and support General Yu! ”

After all, Yu Ban was outside Puyang City, and he had also supported Wang Hou, seeing it in his eyes, he was anxious in his heart, putting down the binoculars, Wang Hou was hurriedly turned his head, who knows, Zhang Liao, who was obedient to him all the way and was quite cooperative, suddenly shook his head here.

"Envoy, Zhang believes that this is not a good time to support White Horse City!"

"Why?"

Facing the blurred battlefield in front of him, while holding the telescope in front of him again, Zhang Liao stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance.

"Look! Wen Chou's army is said to have 20,000 or 30,000, and there are many siege equipment, but for a small White Horse City, he did not attack from all sides, only concentrated his forces to attack the northern city, and he could not use his 3,000 infantry to attack the city! ”

"Wen Chou's right wing, Huang Yunlei, the head of the people, he expected that if the prime minister supported White Horse City, he would come from the southwest and two directions, so the main soldiers were arranged here to resist the impact, and then looked to the northeast, the cavalry formation was faintly visible, and it was Wen Chou who hid the cavalry behind him and made a blow to the rear of the palace!"

is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield, with a little look, Zhang Liao understood the situation, put down the binoculars, and pushed forward with one of his arms very vividly.

"Envoy, if our army attacks at this time, it is entangled with the heavy troops on the right flank of Wen Chou's army, and Wen Chou personally leads the cavalry to attack from the flank, it is easy to defeat our army, once the troops are dispatched, this battle will be defeated!"

That's really the reason! Listening to Zhang Liao's description, Wang Hou put down the telescope depressedly, but even though he was helpless, Zhang Liao still held on to the ladder set up by the shield, and said helplessly while slowly climbing down.

"There is no point in rushing out, General Yu Ban is the prime minister's favorite general, I believe he can withstand it, and the prime minister can't only send one of our troops to support, so that the king, in my opinion, should still lead the army back, don't startle the snake, wait for the prime minister to lead the army to arrive, and make a decision!"

"Wait!"

Wang Hou suddenly said something with a solemn face, almost didn't let Zhang Liao fall off the shield pile, he was full of astonishment, he simply jumped down, and went around to Wang Hou's side, and asked with a stunned fist.

"Envoy, but is there anything wrong with Wen Yuan?"

"You mean, the prime minister will definitely not be able to send one of our troops directly to support, and the supporting army must still be on the way!"

"Baima and Yanjin are the two best ferries within a few hundred miles, and if you want to hold the Yellow River, you must defend these two places! Zhang believes that the prime minister is set to march here! ”

How did he win the battle of Guandu, Wang Hou couldn't remember it clearly, but he only remembered that Xu You, a second or five boy, took refuge and reported to Yuan Shao's grain land, Wuchao, and as soon as Mr. Cao led the army to raid, he won the battle in an uproar! So at this time, he was nervous as if he was swinging, and he couldn't stop trembling, and after a while, he asked Zhang Liao another question that made him stunned.

"There are five forms of the army, one of which is defeat and does not disperse! General Zhang's Bingzhou cavalry, can it be done? 166 Reading Network
