Chapter Twenty-Five: Cold Buds

He Jin listened to Queen He's words, and also reacted, he was a little too anxious and in a hurry. Looking at Empress He, she nodded and said: I'll see if there are any useful people under my command and send them to him. so that he can make more military exploits and master more military power.

Empress He agreed with He Jin's words. Nodding and looking at He Jin, he said: Yes, we have to help him get to a high position as much as possible.

Liu Xie's army was marching rapidly, and Liu Xie was eager to make peace with Lu Zhi as soon as possible. Complete the task of annihilating Zhang Jiao, and only then can you follow your own plan. Now Zhang Jiao's army is out in all directions, attacking the city separately, which has caused serious damage to the foundation of the Han Dynasty. So he needs to besiege Zhang Jiao as soon as possible.

Guo Jia rode to Liu Xie's side, stopped Liu Xie, looked at Liu Xie and said: Your Highness, I took a closer look at the map, I think we should slow down the speed of the march, march as fast as now, the soldiers are already very tired, and there is a mountain beam not far ahead, if there is an ambush of the Yellow Turban Army at this time, when we are about to pass the mountain beam, we will attack halfway, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Hearing Guo Jia's talk about the serious consequences, Liu Xie finally stopped, picked up the map handed over by Guo Jia and studied it carefully. After a long time, Liu Xie finally raised his head and looked at Guo Jia and said very gratefully: Fortunately, there is a reminder from Fengxiao, otherwise it may cause terrible consequences.

After speaking, Cao Cao was asked to give the order, and the army stopped advancing and rested in place. Wait a while before leaving. Cao Cao promised to go down to give the order. Suddenly, Liu Xie left Cao Cao and said: Send scouts to the mountain beam in front to carefully reconnoiter the movement of the mountain beam to see if there are any enemies. Hearing the enemy, Cao Cao's expression also became serious. After hurriedly saluting Liu Xie, he personally went down to arrange the investigation.

Liu Xie's army, which was originally marching rapidly, finally slowly stopped. The soldiers sat there one after another, seizing the time to regain their strength. However, the scouts arranged by Cao Cao continued to set off. Go to the mountain beam in front to scout the situation.

Liu Xie and Guo Jia sat directly on the ground like that, and the guards around Liu Xie originally wanted to build a big tent for Liu Xie, but they were stopped by Liu Xie. I don't know what the situation ahead is, if there is no ambush, the army will continue to set off, tossing back and forth, and Liu Xie is also tired.

Where did Liu Xie and Guo Jia do, chatting about the interesting things of the court, eating the dry food of the march in their mouths, while waiting for the return of the scouts.

But he didn't know that because Liu Xie ordered the army to rest in place, it could hurt the Yellow Turban Army who were ambushed on the mountain beam.

Leng Bao, the chief general of Yanzhou of the Yellow Turban Army, since Zhang Jiao ordered the division of troops, because Yanzhou is the closest to Jizhou, he is also the first person to reach his destination.

Leng Bao, who had just arrived in Yanzhou, took advantage of his unpreparedness to directly capture Dongping, and then obeyed Zhang Jiao's order, and the big households in the county town were slaughtered, and the grain and grass obtained were distributed by him to the people in the city, so Leng Bao easily recruited a team of 20,000 people in Dongping, plus the 10,000 horses that Zhang Jiao originally gave, and now Leng Bao has an army of 30,000 people.

Leng Bao, who held 30,000 people, was not satisfied with only occupying one place in Dongping, and then he set his sights on Dong'a, which was close to Dongping. However, after Dong'e got the report of the people who escaped from Dongping, he had already prepared, and the big clans in the city and the defenders in the county worked together to finally defeat Leng Bud who came, but after all, the defenders in the county were insufficient, and under Leng Bao's offensive, they suffered heavy losses. If Leng Bud attacks Dong'e again, he may knock Dong'e down.

And just when Leng Bao was about to launch a second attack on Dong'e, a scout suddenly came to report that Liu Xie's army was about to enter Yanzhou. Leng Bao, who has completely regarded Yanzhou as his own land, how can he tolerate others stepping into his own territory, even if this person is the future owner of this land.

Therefore, Leng Bao immediately led the army to meet Liu Xie, and Dong'a, who was within reach, was left behind.

After Leng Bao arrived at the border of Yanzhou, he looked at the terrain in detail, and after combining the route that Liu Xie had to pass, Leng Bao finally decided to ambush Liu Xie at this mountain beam. After Leng Bao came here with the army a day in advance, he took the remaining more than 28,000 people under his command to ambush on the mountain beam, preparing to ambush Liu Xie today, if he could kill Liu Xie, how would Zhang Jiao reward himself? Or you can also have the opportunity to enjoy the feeling of sitting in the south and facing the north, and the world is unique. Leng Bao, who was lying in ambush and had nothing to do, had already thought about it.

Today, Liu Xie's army did come to the mountain beam according to the estimate, but now Liu Xie's army suddenly stopped far away from the mountain beam, and suddenly made Leng Bao very uncomfortable.

If he rushes out with the army at this time, then Liu Xie's army will be waiting for work. At that time, Liu Xie used the army that had recovered his combat strength to meet him, and his army would definitely not be able to defeat Liu Xie's army. But if the army does not move and continues to ambush, as soon as the scouts sent by Liu Xie arrive at Shanliang to investigate, they will find that the army that has been ambushed a long time ago, and the ambush of the army will be meaningless at that time, and Liu Xie, who has prepared for this, is not something that the army in his hands can compete with now.

But if he is allowed to retreat, he is very unwilling, he has completely regarded Yanzhou as a cold bud of his own territory, and he does not want Liu Xie to set foot on his territory with a large army.

For a while, Leng Bao's mind was in chaos, and he didn't know how to choose. However, looking at the Han army scouts who were getting closer and closer, he knew that he had to come up with an idea, otherwise he wouldn't be able to leave even if he wanted to.

Leng Bao, who had been thinking about it for a long time, finally made up her mind, looked at the deputy general Pei Lei beside her and said in a low voice: Withdraw. Pei Lei, the deputy general who was originally waiting for Leng Bao to give the order to attack, did not react for a while. Until the cold bud was ordered at once: withdraw. At this time, the deputy general who reacted looked at Leng Bud with a serious face, and his face was full of incredulity.

Knowing that the deputy general was full of doubts, but Leng Bao at this time couldn't explain this, and looked at the deputy general and ordered at one time: Withdraw.

The adjutant general looked at Leng Bao, who had ordered three times in a row, and had no choice but to go down and give the order to retreat.

The Yellow Turban sergeants, who were originally in ambush, heard the order and got up one after another, preparing to retreat.

And Liu Xie's army, which was originally resting, finally found the Yellow Turban soldiers on the mountain beam who were preparing to retreat, and the Han soldiers got up one after another and looked at Liu Xie.

Liu Xie felt a moment of fear at this time, if it wasn't for Guo Jia's reminder, the army would definitely crash into the ambush circle. So when the soldiers looked at him, Liu Xie set his eyes on Guo Jia.

Guo Jia knew what Liu Xie was thinking when he looked at him with straight eyes, but he looked at Liu Xie and solemnly suggested: The army is too tired, and if our army pursues, it will attack downward and upward, ignoring the terrain, and it is not recommended that the army pursue.

Originally, Liu Xie, who wanted to pursue, finally let go of the thoughts in his heart after hearing Guo Jia's order. Looking at the army, he directly ordered: the army will not pursue, but pay attention to vigilance.

Hearing Liu Xie's order, it was obvious that Fang relaxed down. And Liu Xie also seized the last opportunity to finish the food in his hand and prepare to continue to set off for a while.
