Chapter 157: The Fox and the Fake Tiger (The Eighth Subscription and Monthly Pass)
Hearing that Yuan Shao was actually worried about himself to such an extent, the potter was really moved in his heart.
I have to say that Yuan Shao is really interesting to himself, and even thought of the troubles he encountered on the way back in advance, and specially gave himself a "Yuan" character flag, so that he could use it on the road.
My father is not as close as him.
"Annoying General Lao Koji replied to Yuan Gong, Tao thanked him for his kindness, but he was disrespectful."
After a few more words, he immediately led the troops to say goodbye to the potter, and the two sides headed for their respective destinations.
Looking at the figure of Koji Yi leading his troops away, the potter secretly smashed his mouth.
Good general, goodbye.
After the soldiers and horses arrived at the Yanjin ferry, they arranged for boats to prepare to cross the river.
The potter's brigade of more than 100,000 people, the number of people is too much, the boats at the ferry are limited, and only a few people can be transported at a time, and the potters are afraid that during the crossing of the river, the Baibo army will mutiny, so they can only let Xu Chu and Mi Fang lead a part of the pro-army to cross the river first, and after they break off with Xu Huang, Xu Rong and others, they use this method to supervise on both sides of the ferry.
But just when the Baibo army crossed the river in batches, unexpected events still followed.
A Xuzhou army scout hurriedly reported to the potter: "Gongzi Qiyu, the big thing is not good, less than thirty miles away from us, there is a large army of soldiers and horses marching towards the ferry, and its army has a lot of troops, not to mention about 10,000!" ”
"More than 10,000 soldiers and horses are coming to the ferry?" The potter's face tightened.
At this time, the soldiers and horses are crossing the river, and most of the men and horses need to guard the Baibo army, in case at this time, these 10,000 people are friends and enemies, and once the other party launches an attack, it will cause a mutiny in the Baibo army during the period, which is a big mistake.
"Whose soldiers and horses are those more than 10,000 people? Is it clear? Xu Rong, who was beside the pottery merchant, also knew that this sudden situation was not optimistic, and hurriedly asked.
The scout swallowed a mouthful of spit, and hurriedly replied: "The other party's soldiers and horses are dressed in disorderly clothes, and they are definitely not official soldiers, and the flags in their army are made roughly, and their subordinates can't see it clearly for a while, and it seems to be 'Black Mountain Army-White' faintly!" ”
"It's the Black Mountain Army!" Everyone's faces suddenly became very nervous.
The Montenegrin Army is undoubtedly the largest force in the remnants of the Yellow Turbans today!
Led by Zhang Yan, the commander of the Qu Shuai, he led the people and led the troops, sitting on a million people, almost no different from the princes of one side.
Even the imperial court had to admit the existence of the Montenegrin Army and enshrined Zhang Yan as the general of the Ping Difficulty.
Compared with the Montenegrin Army, the White Wave Army is simply a small fight, as funny as playing at home.
Hu Cai heard that the other party was the Montenegrin Army, and hurriedly said to Tao Shang: "The eldest prince, in addition to the Qu Shuai Chu Feiyan, the Montenegrin Army still has dozens of leaders, among which there is a leader named Bai Huan, and the scout said that the Black Mountain Army - Bai is written on the banner, and it is impossible to say that this person is leading the troops to come." ”
Xu Huang waved the big axe and said: "No matter who comes, we don't need to be afraid of him, please give the order to fight, Xu Huang is willing to be the vanguard!" ”
The potter turned his head to look at the people who were waiting to cross the river over there, shook his head, and said: "No, there are more than 100,000 Baibo soldiers on our side, and they and the Black Mountain Army belong to the rest of the Yellow Turban Army, and they can be regarded as the same spirit, if they know that the Black Mountain Army is coming, I don't know what kind of changes will happen...... This battle cannot be fought. ”
Xu Huang was anxious when he heard this, and said, "If you don't fight, what should you do?" ”
The potter pondered for a moment and said: "There are more than 100,000 people on our side, although there are not many who can go into battle, but the Montenegrin army does not know the truth, if it is really going to fight, they will not only send more than 10,000 people over, if I guess correctly, this army of more than 10,000 people should be here to see the truth and ......."
Speaking of this, the corner of the potter's eyes suddenly caught the big flag with the word "Yuan" waving in the wind, and his heart suddenly woke up.
That's right, didn't Yuan Dameng Leader leave me something to defend myself?
The potter stretched out his hand to beckon Xu Rong over, and said in a low voice: "You are here to urge Hu Cai and the Baibo army to cross the river quickly, and Xu Huang and Han Hao and I will lead a small number of men and horses to meet the Black Mountain Army for a while with Yuan Shao's Daxu Banner." ”
Xu Rong hesitantly turned his head and glanced at the big banner left by Koji Yi for the pottery merchant, and was silent for a long time: "Can you live it?" ”
"Try it, if it works."
In the distance, the soldiers and horses, accompanied by a large puff of smoke, were galloping towards the ferry little by little.
Although he was not afraid of the Black Mountain Army, once someone in the White Wave Army mutinied because of this incident, the great disaster brought by the potter was unbearable.
Therefore, this battle cannot be fought, only ...... Or rather, it can only be delayed.
Fortunately, when he was separated from the potter, he received an order from Yuan Shao, left a large banner with the word "Yuan" for the potter, and told the potter that Yuan Shao allowed him to use the name of the Yuan family as a cover in the territory north of the Yellow River.
In view of this, the pottery merchant asked Han Hao to order the three thousand Taishan troops, and led Xu Huang back to the division to break off.
At the very least, before most of the Baibo army crossed the Yellow River, they should hold back the pursuing Montenegrin army.
After turning around and driving for several miles, Han Hao lined up the three thousand Taishan soldiers at the critical pass.
Looking at the Montenegrin army gradually approaching in the distance, Xu Huang "snorted" and said to Tao Shang: "Don't look at the other party's 10,000 people, but with the three thousand elite Taishan soldiers of Yuan Hei, plus Huang sitting here, these Montenegrin troops may not be in our eyes!" ”
The potter was noncommittal and said, "These 10,000 horses are nothing...... The problem is that the Montenegrin Army led by Zhang Yan is the most powerful Yellow Turban Thief, with millions of people under its jurisdiction, we really want to defeat his 10,000 horses, the Taihang Veins are not far from here, I am afraid that the Montenegrin Army will send a steady stream of people and horses to take revenge, and it will be difficult to get it at that time. ”
Xu Huang stopped talking when he heard this, the power of Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army, looking at the world, is an extremely huge military force compared to anyone, and the princes along the way dare not despise it, if they are really provoked, this mess will really not be cleaned up by themselves at the moment.
Seeing that the dust raised by the soldiers and horses of the Black Mountain Army was getting closer and closer, the potter said to Han Hao: "Let people put up the banner with the word "Yuan" written on it!" ”
Among the Taishan army, there were two strong soldiers who set up the big banner embroidered with the golden word "Yuan" in front of the battle after receiving the order!
I saw that the big flag was hunting in the north wind, waving in the wind, agitating back and forth, and the word "Yuan" on it was also particularly eye-catching.
In a short time, the 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Montenegrin Army were drawn to a distance of hundreds of paces from the 3,000 Taishan Army.
I don't know if it was the role of the banner embroidered with the word "Yuan", or if the Montenegrin army had another purpose, the 10,000 Montenegrin army did not rush to attack, but took a defensive position and set up a position in the opposite side of the Taishan army.
The potters, Xu Huang, Han Hao and others were each pondering each other's intentions, but they saw the formation of the Montenegrin army on the opposite side open, and a general of the Montenegrin army who was still well-dressed in leather armor led a small team of biao horses and galloped straight towards the potters and others.
Xu Huanghu was stunned, and he was about to start with the axe.
The potter raised his hand to stop him and said, "No, do you see the flag on the other side?" ”
Xu Huang squinted, but saw that in front of the Black Mountain Army, there was a row of thieves soldiers desperately waving the flags in their hands at the potters and others.
"Oh, it's a messenger sent by the other party." Han Hao touched his chin on the side and said.
When he was young, he saw that the other party's ten cavalry had come to his phalanx, and the man led by him was tall and a little fierce, and he glanced around at the Taishan sergeant in front of the formation for a while, and shouted loudly: "Which one is the leader?" ”
The Taishan army opened the military formation, and the pottery merchant came to the front of the formation under the protection of Xu Huang and Han Hao, and bowed his hand to the big man, and said with a smile: "I am the leader, which one of the Black Mountain Army is Your Excellency?" ”
The big man was obviously a little stained, and he was quite surprised when he heard this: "Huh! Can you still guess that we are the Montenegrin Army? Yes! How? ”
The potter was speechless, and looked up at the banners in the Black Mountain military formation in the distance, and the word "Black Mountain" was written on all sides.
The man didn't seem to feel that he was timid at all, raised his chest, and said proudly: "I am the commander of the Black Mountain Army, Bai Huan, who sat down and was a general, and I came to talk to you on the order of Bai Shuai!" ”
Look at this under-pumping appearance, it looks like talking, and it is clear that he is here to smash the field.
The potter blinked, looked at him stunned for a long time, and then asked weakly, "You...... What's your last name? ”
"Sui! Lao Tzu's surname is 眭 (sui)! Solid! …… How? Do you have an opinion? ”
The potter came back to his senses, smiled and waved his hand, and said, "No, no opinion, good surname!" People are as their name suggests...... General Zo! ”
He didn't seem to hear the derogatory meaning in the Tao Shang's words, looked him up and down for a while, and suddenly said: "On the order of Bai Shuai, I have come to ask, where are the soldiers and horses, where do you want to go, why do you have the banner of the word "Yuan", you and Yuan Shao of Yecheng...... What is the relationship? ”
In just a few words, the potter had already heard the catty from the words of the potter, and he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.
He pretended to be sloppy with himself here, but in fact, he had already revealed his shortcomings in his words.
Why do you have nothing to do with your own "Yuan" character Qiqi, and ask yourself what is the relationship with Yuan Shao in Yecheng? It is clear that he still has scruples about Yuan Shao!
However, speaking carefully, Yuan Shao has indeed been in the limelight recently, especially Jizhou, which replaced Han Fu in one fell swoop and occupied the granary of the world, the Montenegrin Army must not be able to grasp the future Hebei overlord at present, and he doesn't know whether to provoke it, so he hesitated.
Thinking of this, the corners of the potter's mouth couldn't help but show a strange smile.
The potter has no other advantages, what he is best at is to grasp the hesitation of others, and then climb up the pole, bluffing others for a moment.
"You ask me what is the relationship between me and Yuan Shao?" The potter smiled and pointed to his nose and said with a smile: "You don't even know who I am, so you dare to come over to ask questions so arrogantly?" ”
As his name suggests, he was really a little flustered when he heard the words, he looked at the potter in a daze, and said curiously: "Who are you?" ”
The potter puffed up his chest and said to Zheng Gu word by word: "Listen, I am Yuan Shao's godson." ”
"What?!" Hearing this, Su Gu was completely stunned.
