If there is anything that can transcend the fear of power among the common people, it is faith.

It is precisely because of faith that the defenseless people dare to fight against the powerful, and dare to laugh at life and death for the sake of freedom and justice.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, a peasant uprising that completely shook the foundations of the decadent Han Dynasty, is the truest portrayal of it.

It can shock the Eastern Han court, the emperor and the officials are terrified, and the Yellow Turban Party can be said to be glorious despite defeat.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, fortunately able to avoid the doom of annihilation and become Cao Cao's subordinates, can be said to be favored by heaven. In the troubled times, there are very few heroes who dare to rebel against the party without fear of rumors.

And Nie Hong, as its leader, is also deeply grateful for Cao Cao's kindness, because it is this person who does not follow common sense that gives the millions of dependents behind them a place to settle down.

After successfully subduing the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Runan, Nie Hong's mood became heavier and heavier, because the person who opened the way for them to surrender to Cheng, the military advisor Duan Xuan, was about to face a battle of life and death at this moment.

……

"What, are you still relieved?"

Cao Cao's voice came from behind Nie Hong. Originally, Nie Hong was conducting daily training for his subordinates, but seeing that he was in a trance, Cao Cao had no choice but to come over to ask.

"My lord," Nie Hong retracted his thoughts and hurriedly responded: "Don't dare to deceive your lord, my subordinates are really worried about the affairs of the West." ”

"Hehe, Youduo is really a real person." Cao Cao smiled and patted Nie Hong's shoulder, "Go ahead." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the place that keeps you in a trance."

"......"

"Don't worry, now that our army is well-fed, even if Yuan Shu comes to attack, he won't be able to get a bargain. I order you to go now, and lead 50,000 troops to the aid of the military division. ”

Nie Hong hesitated for a moment, knelt down on one knee, and said to Cao Cao: "The last general will take the order!" ”

Yanzhou, Liangguo, west of Yu County.

The clear stream was babbling, the trees had long since come to life, and the sun was softly shining on the people who were walking, and it was exceptionally warm.

After receiving the order, Long Wei hurriedly contacted dozens of Xuzhou Yefeng and rushed desperately towards the main hall.

He was basically no longer tormented by phantom pain now, and this was all thanks to the eleven sages and eleven old Zuo Ci.

In response to his symptoms, Zuo Ci gave a clear treatment, which is actually very simple, that is, perseverance and reason.

When the pain attacked, Zuo Ci forced Long Yi to stab his palm with a dagger, using this method to evoke the feeling of real pain, and then relied on Long Qi's reason to feel those pain that did not exist.

At first, Long Yi almost every time he screamed and cursed Zuo Ci's "bad idea", but gradually, he found that this method really worked. In just ten days, I was basically able to restrain the onset of pain.

In the past ten days, it was the time when Zuo Ci rushed to stop Zhao Yun and Zang Ba from facing off.

After that, Zuo Ci went to see Mixuan. It's just that Mi Xuan has made up her mind and must help Lu Bu, and Zuo Ci didn't want to say anything, so she returned to Xiaopei.

The day after returning to Xiaopei, Long Yi hurriedly found him and informed him of the predicament of the Northern Hall.

Although I really want to be a carefree person, Zuo Ci is Ye Feng in the end, and he can't see the Northern Hall disappear like this.

Therefore, he let Long Yi go first, and he himself had to do an extremely difficult thing - borrow soldiers.

And the candidates for his borrowing of troops are his three night marshals.

Even though the three of them were already hostile at this time, their loyalty to Zuo Ci was the same as before. Even Zhao Yun, who had always had a cold face, was only stiff-mouthed, and finally lent out half of his subordinates, the Three Thousand Dragon Feng Battalion.

Zang Ba's "Taishan Liangkou" also handed over two thousand, and Mi Zhu's news network officially began to be used by Zuo Ci.

In this way, the men and horses of different camps were once again restored to their former companions, and embarked on the road to the west for the common good.

Sizhou, Henan Yin, Yefeng North Hall southeast valley.

"Whew!" Without warning, a sharpened bamboo pole flew towards Duan Xuan.

Duan Xuan hurriedly dodged and dodged.

"Jia Liang Dao!" Without waiting for Duan Xuan to speak, Guo Lan opened his mouth first.

Originally, Duan Xuan, Guo Lan, and Qin Zhen came together to assist Jia Kui to check whether the traps around the main hall were safe, but he didn't expect that after just a few steps, Duan Xuan's life was almost ruined here.

Jia Kui glanced at Guo Lan expressionlessly, and then he set his eyes on Duan Xuan.

"Traps don't distinguish between friend and foe, Brother Xuan better be careful."

"Hehe, thank you Brother Liang Dao for reminding me." Duan Xuan stretched out his hand to stop Guo Lan, who was about to get angry, and just smiled at him.

In fact, such a sensitive person as Duan Xuan had already felt that when he came back this time, everyone was looking at him with a disgusted gaze. As for the reason, as long as you are not an idiot, you will know it in your heart - Chang'an Bloody Night.

Just because of his momentary emotion, there are at least thousands of more corpses in Chang'an. Therefore, even if someone rushed over and slashed him in the next moment, Duan Xuan would not have the slightest surprise.

Besides, his mind is not here now.

At this time, Duan Xuan was anxiously judging only one thing in his heart—when the enemy would arrive.

Paradoxically, Duan Xuan didn't know whether to hope for the enemy to come early or late.

Although from a defensive point of view, it is more advantageous for the enemy to arrive late, but the Northern Headquarters is facing a very real problem - food and grass.

With 30,000 Qingzhou soldiers added, the grain and grass in the main hall seemed very tight.

Although Hu Yi was funded by Cao Cao when he came, if the enemy did not come within four days, the people in the main hall would begin to starve.

Of course, Guo Lan also knew Duan Xuan's worries, but it was just left to Duan Xuan that these things were left to Duan Xuan, and he had no intention of asking. Otherwise, why did you have to call Duan Xuan back.

However, the enemy's march was faster than he expected......

……

Kaifeng, Sizhou Henan Yin, has become an innocent victim of this battle at this time. Also for the sake of supply, Chang Ao chose the easiest way - slaughtering the city.

Although there is not much food in stock, it is enough for a day's supply.

Because Guo Jia took the opportunity to knock out nearly half of the baggage when he borrowed Chen Liushi, Chang Ao had no choice but to make this decision.

A day's supply, in this particular case, can make a huge difference.

Because, Chang Ao had ordered all the cavalry to set off for the northern headquarters after they had been fed, and this day's supplies were reserved for the follow-up infantry.

Although this distance is not much of a flat wilderness, as long as there is no accident, relying on the mobility of the horses, it is possible to start the attack at night the next day.

Only one of his subordinates, You Tao, was left behind due to injury, while the two apprentices followed Liang Ji and several other subordinates as the vanguard.

Before leaving, Chang Ao repeatedly told the two of them to be careful of the traps near the Northern Headquarters.

Yuliu's Orion Camp is also considered an alternative among the night fronts, so it has long been famous in other main halls. It's just that because there are not many contacts between the main halls, Chang Ao has no bottom in his heart about the specific style of the trap.

Even if you can trust your apprentice's martial arts, if the opponent is not a human, then it is not good.

It's just that Chang Ao must not have imagined that his two apprentices have begun to fall into a dilemma.

……

As the main road to the Northern Headquarters, a slightly wider road in the valley was identified as the offensive route by the vanguard.

Since the traps of the Orion Camp need to be laid against the woods and meadows, the roads should be safe for people to walk. With this in mind, Jin Xu and Chu Shang drove their horses to the front of the team, carefully inspecting the ground nearby.

Not long after they had traveled, the two of them were made to smile bitterly at the "trap" in front of them - an overly obvious rope just across the road.

"It's a shame that the master told you and me, it turns out that the Northern Hall is full of such idiots." Jin Xu scoffed.

"It's better to be careful, after all, what can make the master so cautious must not be an ordinary person." Chu Shang did not take the enemy so lightly.

"Humph!" Jin Xu glanced at him with disdain, reached out and picked up the hard bow, and shot an arrow, just in time to break the rope.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The two bamboo poles seemed to have been tied to the trees on either side, and when the ropes broke, they shot into the middle of the road and plunged deep into the earth.

"It's a lot of strength." Jin Xu nodded, hung the bow on the saddle, and used his spear to pick the two bamboo poles that blocked the way.

"Wait!" Chu Shang suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he shouted, it was already too late.

As Jin Xu picked up the bamboo pole, many crossbow arrows were shot out of the grass on the side of the road.

The two hurriedly beckoned their men behind them to dodge, but the speed of the crossbow was too fast, and more than a dozen people were still shot.

"Insidious!" Jin Xu scolded resentfully.

It turned out that the two bamboo poles were just a disguise, and when they crossed, one happened to pass through the rope sleeve on the other. And when Jin Xu provoked it, the rope sleeve was pulled, triggering the second mechanism.

"Humph! Since the bastards of the north have used this cruel trick against us, then we will take all these crossbows, and we will definitely pay tribute to them when the time comes. Jin Xu said, motioning for his men to go to the grass next to him to take down the crossbow arrows.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

"Ahh "Ahh

Just as some of his men dismounted and walked to the side of the road, crossbow bolts were fired again from the woods a little farther away. The ropes, held in place by stakes, were hidden in the grass by the roadside, and when their men stepped on these traps, a third trap was triggered.

"These bastards of the North! Everyone obeyed the order, and the twenty horsemen in front of them changed to walking, and threw the war horses out to trigger the trap! Although Jin Xu is irritable, he can also come up with a way at a critical time.

"You'd better think about how to deal with them." Chu Shang smiled bitterly and pointed forward.

There, Qin Zhen led more than a hundred crossbowmen to aim at the two......
