The Han army had just marched for half a day, and news came from Tianyan, at least tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops swooped down from behind.

Gao Shun took advantage of the enemy's march and personally led thousands of cavalry to suddenly launch a counterattack. Under the rain of dead arrows and rolling iron hooves of the cavalry, they easily defeated the enemy's forward, killing nearly 2,000 enemies, until the remnants of the enemy retreated to a high ground in disarray, and Gao Shun ordered to return to the army. The cavalry is not conducive to attacking from the back, and the enemy's support is constantly coming, and if it is not good, it will be closed and there is a risk of being surrounded.

At this time, another battle report came from the front, and the front army under the command of Huangfu Song also engaged the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army. The enemy army was very cunning, taking advantage of the narrow area between Yingshui and the nearby mountains, built a city fence, completely blocked the road to Yingyang, Ren Huangfu Song shouted and scolded in every way, and the 30,000 enemy troops with the superior number were completely cowered in the wall, defending without fighting. Huangfu was extremely angry, and launched several waves of attacks, but was forced to retreat by the enemy's dense rain of arrows without spending money, and had no choice but to camp and confront the enemy.

Nanying couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard the news, when did the Yellow Turban Army become so smart? First, he deliberately opened the opening, let the Han army withdraw from Yangzhai, and then quietly transported ships to cut off the road that the Han army had to pass, and then blocked the front and back with superior forces. The Yellow Turban Army is a good idea, they don't want to annihilate the Han army by flanking the front and rear at all, but to use the terrain to trap 20,000 Han troops alive!

Fortunately, through several days of continuous attacks on the logistics of the Yellow Turban Army, the cavalry, while resolutely carrying out the Southern Eagle's sabotage policy, loaded a lot of captured grain and grass with horses, even if it was evenly distributed to the front army, the whole army could still support it for another five or seven days.

As if to confirm the judgment of the Southern Eagle, the Yellow Turban Army in pursuit behind them numbered nearly 60,000 people, and they set up camp on the high ground for a long time, and continued to expand the scale until the rain of arrows they fired could completely cover the entire road, and then stopped the construction.

In this way, the front and rear armies of the Han army were firmly trapped in a narrow strip of less than 20 miles from north to south. As for the things, the Yellow Turban Army will not worry about that at all, the west is the unique mountains and hills in the northwest of Yuzhou, the Han cavalry can not cross at all, and the east is Yingshui, at this time it is the June flood season, the river is roaring, and the Han army has no ships to cross.

In the face of such an embarrassing situation, Huangfu Song can be regarded as remorseful, if he had listened to Nanying's proposal and retreated elsewhere, at least he would not have fallen into such an embarrassing situation. And Nanying didn't blame Huangfu Song as outsiders speculated, when did this happen! Is it useful to blame him? Let's save that energy and think of a way to save yourself!

After two days, the army's food stocks gradually decreased, and the army's spirit began to float, especially the thousands of cavalry led by Nanying, who had been following Nanying to gallop across the Hebei Plain, where had they ever fought such an aggrieved and confused battle? And they insisted on going their own way with Huangfu Song, and they were even more dissatisfied with the whole army into a desperate situation, and they clamored for Huangfu Song to take the blame and abdicate, and Nanying was appointed as the chief general of the whole army, which almost triggered a self-fire between the front army and the rear army!

Nanying was furious and whipped the whips of several of the most troublemakers before he could suppress the matter. He didn't bother to explain to Huangfu Song, just think what you want! I'm not afraid that you'll come up with any tricks now, because the situation has become too bad to be greater.

On the third day, Nanying, Zhu Jun and Gao Shun were discussing how to break through the siege in the tent, when suddenly someone outside the tent came to report, and someone outside the camp claimed to be the deceased of General Yingyang Zhonglang and asked to meet Nanying.

When Nan Ying heard that he was an old man, he did not dare to slack off, and many of his acquaintances were extraordinary people, so he hurriedly ordered him to be invited in immediately.

As soon as that person entered the account, not only Nan Ying, Zhu Jun, and Gao Shun were taken aback, but even Qiang Tong, Zhao Ming, Ma Jun and others were also "sighs", just because this person was an acquaintance of many people here.

The man smiled and arched his hand and said, "Don't come to harm, the lower officials have not yet congratulated General Nan on being awarded the title of Zhonglang General!" ”

Nan Ying grabbed the man and said in surprise: "Zhong Jian, it's you!" How did you come here? ”

This person is Chun Yuqiong, a close minister of the Son of Heaven and a general of the forbidden army.

He laughed and said, "General Nan, have you forgotten? Because Xiaguan is a native of Yingchuan, the Son of Heaven appointed Xiaguan as the envoy of the Eastern Route Army Supervision Army, responsible for the deployment of soldiers and horses in the war zone! Of course it's coming! ”

Saying that, he said hello to Zhu Jun, Gao Shun and others, Zhu Jun has been a courtier for a long time, so he naturally knows Chun Yuqiong, Gao Shun and Ma Jun met him on the trip to Yiyang, as for Qiang Tong and Zhao Ming, they only met the envoy of the East Route Military Supervision Army after coming to Yingchuan.

Nan Ying saw Chun Yuqiong, thought of the friendship that had passed his life, the depression in his heart was relieved a little, and he smiled: "I haven't thanked you for taking care of Qiang Tong and Zhao Ming!" ”

Chun Yuqiong shook his hand and said, "Don't say that, general!" Hugh said that this is the responsibility of the lower officials, and Shan Chong is the two people you personally recommended to the Son of Heaven, and the lower officials will never dare to slack off! ”

Nanying laughed and slapped him on the shoulder.

Zhu Jun was on the side, but his face changed color when he heard it, no wonder Nanying said that the two generals of the Eastern Route Army were his direct subordinate generals, and it turned out that he personally promoted them to the Son of Heaven, so Nanying's identity is really a bit unfathomable. However, just looking at Chun Yuqiong's deference to him, it can be seen that Nanying must be the favorite general of the Son of Heaven, but why has he never heard of this person before?

Nanying suddenly found that Chun Yuqiong was dressed as a common person, and couldn't help but wonder: "Zhong Jian, why are you dressed like this?" Could it be that the disguise has passed the blockade of the enemy army? ”

Chun Yuqiong nodded and said, "That's right, General Qiyu ........."

Nan Ying interrupted with some displeasure: "Zhong Jian, you and I are brothers, why are you always the general long and the general short?" Don't you remember the love of the day? Just call me by name! ”

Chun Yuqiong's eyes flashed with emotion, and he laughed and said, "I will receive my life!" By the way, on that day, the Son of Heaven personally crowned Brother Nan and took the word Han Yang, why don't you call you Brother Han Yang below! ”

"What? The word is taken by the crown of the Son of Heaven! Zhu Jun couldn't bear it anymore, and said in shock: "General Nan, you, who are you?" ”

"What's so rare?" Nan Ying said disapprerovingly, "Isn't it just the emperor who helped pick up a word?" As for all the fuss! ”

He ignored Zhu Jun, who looked sluggish, and asked, "Zhong Jian, now that the situation of our army is clear, you must have some important news when you come to see me, right?" Come on! ”

"Exactly! So as soon as I heard about your situation, I rushed over! But the news I brought was both good and bad! Chun Yuqiong spread her hands, "But I don't know if Brother Han Yang wants to hear good news or bad news first?" ”

As soon as Zhu Jun heard the important news, he immediately threw away the doubts just now, and he shouted: "Tell the good news first, so that we can grasp all the known advantages to deal with the bad news below!" ”

"The good news is that Xiaguan has lived up to his expectations and finally contacted the nearest reinforcements!" Chun Yuqiong sighed and said: "Although the Yellow Turban Army has concentrated the main force now, there are still small bands of thieves everywhere who are in turmoil, and the counties and counties are too busy to take care of themselves, and it is difficult to draw out extra troops to support, and a small number of reinforcements are exhausted due to lack of information, and it is difficult to arrive in time!" However, fortunately, on the way to this place from the lower reaches of Yingshui, Xia Guan met Sima Sun Jian, who had just raised 4,000 Danyang elite soldiers in Huaisi and was preparing to march to Nanyang! ”

"Sun Jian? This man is a fierce general! Nanying blurted out, "Where is there any Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang?" Fortunately, Zhong Jian ran into it, otherwise he wouldn't have run for nothing! ”

"Yes! So the lower officer asked him to immediately send troops here to rescue! Chun Yuqiong smiled and said, "As for the lower officials themselves, of course, they have to come here in advance, and it is good for the ward to say, please prepare early!" ”

"When will the reinforcements arrive?" Zhu Jun's biggest worry now is the issue of time.

"Two days at most!" Chun Yuqiong cut the railway, "They will go north along Yingshui, and then launch a surprise attack from behind 30,000 enemy troops!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The food in the army can be eaten for three days, and as long as the road ahead is opened to reach Yingyang, they will get sufficient supplies.

Nanying's eyes are even brighter, not only can he get out of trouble, but he can also fight side by side with Sun Jian, a hero, which is really exciting! And Sun Ce, I don't know how old this kid is this year? Nanying has always been eager to meet Sun Ce and Zhou Yu!

"Good!" Nanying applauded: "Indeed a good news! So, please tell me the bad news! ”

"Here's the thing!" Chun Yuqiong sorted out his thoughts a little before he said: "Xia Guan first took a boat along Yingshui to the north, but encountered the fleet of the Yellow Turban Army dozens of miles away, and had no choice but to abandon the boat and go ashore, and then took advantage of the mountain trail and the night to quietly bypass the back of the 30,000 enemy troops..........

"The Yellow Turbans' fleet has taken control of that far away?" Zhu Jun said disgracefully: "What do they want to do?" ”

"This subordinate is not very clear!" Chun Yuqiong thought for a while and said, "I just saw from a distance that they were intercepting all the ships on the river, so I was forced to go ashore!" ”

"Alas! Ben is going to be rude! Zhu Jun said abruptly: "Please continue to say that Lord Chunyu!" ”

"Xia Guan walked from the dense forest in the mountains to the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, but he saw that something was wrong!"

"What is it?" Nanying was a little nervous.

"They're packing up and seem to be moving!" Chun Yuqiong said distressedly: "So the lower officials are a little suspicious, Sun Jian's reinforcements will not arrive until two days later, but looking at the situation of the Yellow Turban Army, it will be a day later at most, are they ready to immediately flank us?" ”

"When did this happen?" Nan Ying shouted in his heart that it was not good, if it was really as Chun Yuqiong said, the enemy army was going to attack immediately, then it could only be for two reasons, one was the leakage of the news of Sun Jian's reinforcement, but this possibility was too small, because whether it was Chun Yuqiong or Sun Jian, they didn't have time to do this.

Then there is only one possibility that Nanying is most unwilling to face, and it is also the most terrifying possibility: the enemy army has the certainty of annihilating the Han army!

"Three hours at most!" Chun Yuqiong said confidently, "Xia Guan also felt that something was wrong, as soon as he got out of the sight of the Yellow Turban Army, he pulled his legs and galloped, and then borrowed a fast horse from the former army's Huangfu General and came here directly to look for you, so he didn't waste too much time!" ”

"Not good! It seems that Sun Jian's reinforcements are no longer counted on, and the enemy army may launch an offensive at any time! Nanying instinctively felt that something was wrong, "Someone! Hurry up and invite General Huangfu to the front army, we have to redo the deployment! ”

"No need! The lower officer showed the token when he borrowed the horse, and ordered the patrol marquis of the former army to immediately ask General Huangfu to come here, believing that he was already on the road at this time! Chun Yuqiong frowned and said, "The bad news that Xia Guan wants to say is not only here, there is also a strange thing!" ”

"What a strange thing!" Everyone was a little restless.

"When the lower officials crossed the tent of the Yellow Turban barracks, they saw the word 'Peng' written on their flag, which should refer to Peng Tuo! However," Chun Yuqiong said with a solemn face: "Xia Guan also unexpectedly saw an acquaintance, if it weren't for the fact that he was too impressed by this person, it would be almost impossible to recognize this person from a distance!" ”

He smiled bitterly and said, "Speaking of this person, Brother Han Yang and Senior Brother are no strangers!" ”

Nan Ying's heart shook inexplicably: "Who is it?" ”

"He is Zhang Liang!" Chun Yuqiong gritted her teeth and said, "This person once appeared when he was assassinating the Holy Driver in Yiyang, how could the lower officials not recognize him?" It's really strange, isn't he in Hebei? ”

"What? Zhang Liang is also here! "The Southern Eagle has finally changed color. What he was afraid of was not Zhang Liang, but the ghost-like enemy wise man hiding behind the scenes, since he calmly escaped in Xiaquyang, there has been no news, could it be that he also came here with Zhang Liang!

Nanying Huo Ran got up and paced back and forth in the tent for a few steps, and the anxiety in his heart was even worse. If all this is really being manipulated by that wise man, then it is definitely not a bluff for the Yellow Turban Army to be able to completely annihilate the Han Army, he must have come up with some extremely vicious plan!

He suddenly shouted: "Zhong Jian, you found something strange along the way, tell me about it!" ”

Everyone saw that his face changed drastically, and they were all shocked in their hearts, Nan Ying rarely showed this kind of look, did he feel that the situation was really in danger?

Chun Yuqiong was also taken aback, he turned his head sideways and thought bitterly: "Is there anything strange along the way?" It seems like nothing! Kindness? By the way, Xia Guan came to go up the river along the Ying River at this time, the river seems to be very shallow, and Xia Guan also brought a foot of silt with him when he abandoned the boat......

"That's not right!" A loud shout came, and even Nanying was startled.

I saw Zhu Jun jumping up, his face was as white as paper: "It's mid-June, it's the flood season, how can the river be shallow?" ”

"Ben got it! They must have blocked the water upstream! Cold sweat poured out from his head: "No wonder the enemy army is camped on high ground!" No wonder they pack up! They're so poisonous! This is to fill up enough water and then break the levee and wipe us out in one fell swoop! ”
