In Zhuoxian County, the remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves were finally cleaned up under the sweep of Ma Chaojun, and they lost the blessing of the Divine Blessing Talisman, and the thieves turned back into ordinary people.

Many people can't remember what they did before, seeing this situation, Ma Chao muttered: "This kind of Raushzi charm actually makes people crazy." ”

Jia Xu nodded: "In this way, it can explain why they are so crazy." ”

"Bastard!"

Ma Chao said hatefully: "Don't take human life seriously, control the will of the Yellow Turban, and treat people as livestock, such a cult, he must be exterminated!" ”

The yellow turbans who came to their senses surrounded the Ma Chao Legion, and the leader knelt down: "General! Please help us, we know that we have made a mistake, and we only hope that we can join the army to kill the thieves and wash away our sins! ”

"Good!"

Ma Chao stood on the chariot: "Everyone, since you have the intention to kill the thief, this general will not spare a few stones of grain, join us and fight the thief together!" ”

"Report!"

The scout reported: "The camp of the Yellow Turban thieves outside the city has been successfully uprooted, and most of the Yellow Turbans have retreated to the north. ”

Sima Cuo, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei each completed the task of suppressing thieves and returned to the county.

Retracting the double-strand sword, Liu Bei said: "My brothers, when we attacked the Yellow Turban camp, we found that the enemy's strength was very large, very incredible, and even saw with my own eyes that a few Yellow Turbans who claimed to be wrestlers were able to lift dozens of pounds of boulders and throw them at our army. ”

Gently tapping his fingers on the handrail, Ma Chao ordered: "Su Dingfang, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Sima Cuo!" ”

"The last general!"

"You wait for 4 captains, divide the troops into 4 routes, and each lead an army to march!"

Ma Chao began to distribute manpower: "Su Dingfang led the commander Li Cunxiao, you are the vanguard army, leading 10,000 soldiers, chasing most of the fleeing Yellow Turbans." ”

"Zhang Liao led the commander Zhang Xiu, you are the Eastern Route Army, sweeping the Yellow Turbans in Liangxiang County and Fangcheng County, until Shanggu County."

"Jia Xu led the army with Sima Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and you were the Southern Route Army, sweeping the Yellow Turban in Fanyang County and Danguo County until Guangyang County."

"Sima Cuo led the commander Gao Shun, you are the Western Route Army, and you have swept the Yellow Turbans of Gu'an County and Beixincheng County back and forth until Dai County."

"Within 5 days, the 4th Army finally assembled in Yuyang County!"

"Whoa!"

Five days later, in Yuyang County, Ma Chao's 4th Army joined forces and captured a large amount of grain, grass, baggage, and even a lot of weapons and armor in the First World War.

After counting the spoils, Ma Chao rewarded the three armies and raised the military tent, he pointed to the right Beiping County in the east of Yuyang County on the map: "There are a lot of Wuhuan people here, we can loot Wuhuan and the local Yellow Turban thieves, seize grain, and then divide the troops into two ways." ”

Ma Chao pointed to the map and drew two marching routes: "Our army is here, we will divide our troops into two routes, all the way to the Youbei Army, starting from Yuyang County, until Liaoxi County and Changli County, sweeping the Yellow Turban in Youzhou." ”

"Follow me all the way, in order to conquer the southern Hebei army, start from Yuyang County, go south to Zhuo County, and attack the Yellow Turban in Jizhou."

Jia Xu was puzzled: "Meng Qi, the initial goal of our army was the Jizhou Yellow Turban in the south, where there are Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, why do you want to go the opposite way now, and go to the east of Youzhou with all the troops?" ”

"Master Jia, for 5 days, I have been thinking about it for a long time, rather than going to Jizhou and competing with other officers and soldiers for limited merits, it is better to get two meritorious services at the same time."

Pointing to the map, Ma Chao continued: "We are now in Yuyang County, in the north of Jixian (Youzhou Zhishuo), there are the Donghu tribes, that is, the eastern Xianbei and Wuhuan (Karasuma), and close to Juyongguan in Shanggu County. ”

"Zhang Liao, you swept Shanggu County a few days ago and told me about the situation over there."

Zhang Liao took a step forward and pointed to the map: "Outside the Juyong Pass, there are Xianbei people living in the east all the year round, and there are many Wuhuan people and Fuyu people living together, and the composition is extremely complicated. ”

Ma Chao knew that in a few years, Zhang Liao in history would kill the last Shan Yu Badun of Wuhuan in the Battle of White Wolf Mountain, and since then Wuhuan has split and assimilated to other ethnic groups.

At that time, the main enemies of the Han Dynasty in the northeast were the three major tribes of Buyeo, Eastern Xianbei, and Goguryeo.

And what Ma Chao wants to do now is to take precautions, gather the superior forces of the Youbei Army, lead the army to crush the three tribes at once, and by the way, see if he can directly eliminate the Wuhuan and migrate the Wuhuan population into the pass.

After Zhang Liao finished talking about the situation, Ma Chao continued: "I mean, the situation in Youzhou has not been very good in recent years, and several Hu tribes have continuously invaded the border of Youzhou, and our army should take the initiative to attack and exterminate the living force of the Hu people here." ”

Zhang Liao was eager to try, and said: "Liao is willing to be the vanguard, go north to Juyong Pass, and then go east to conquer Wuhuan!" ”

Zhang Liao is really a talented general, he marched north to Wuhuan and killed Wuhuan Shan Yu Badun; expelled Liaodong County General Liu Yi; attack Tianzhu Mountain to eliminate Chen Lan and Mei Cheng; Then he defended Hefei, defeated Sun 100,000 soldiers, and finally the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and no longer dared to go north.

Since, now 16-year-old Zhang Liao wants to lead the army to the battle, Ma Chao will give him a chance: "Okay!" Wen Yuan is heroic! How about ordering you and Zhang Xiu to lead 5,000 cavalry as a surprise army, enter the prairie from Juyong Pass, act with the camera, and join the Northern Army in Changli County? ”

"The last general obeys!"

Ma Chao ordered: "Su Dingfang, Sima Cuo, for the purpose of conquering the headquarters of the Youbei Army, you will lead 10,000 5 troops eastward to Youbeiping County and Liaoxi County, until Changli County!" ”

Ma Chaojun currently has 30,000 regular troops, and 30,000 are incorporated into the Yellow Turban Army.

Among them, Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu took 5,000 cavalry, and Su Dingfang and Gao Shun took 5,000 strange soldiers and 10,000 infantry.

Ma Chao, Jia Xu, Li Cunxiao, and Gao Shun's southern army of Hebei had 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 Yellow Turban infantry.

Yuyang County has a population of 430,000, which means that there is not much danger here, otherwise there would not be such a large population, and the east of Yuyang County is different.

Youbeiping County is 50,000, Liaoxi County is 80,000, and Liaodong + Changli County is 80,000, and the total population is a little less than the population of Ma Chao's own Wuyuan County.

It shows that the situation of being invaded by the Hu people here is extremely severe, and it has seriously affected the development of the county.

Seeing Su Dingfang and Sima Cuo's expedition to the Northern Army, as well as Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu's Juyong Guan Qi soldiers leaving.

Ma Chao turned around and said, "Jia Xu, Li Cunxiao, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, we are waiting for the southern Hebei army to set off!" ”

A few days later, by the time the southern Hebei army arrived in Jizhou, the 30,000 Yellow Turban infantry had expanded to more than 40,000.

The scout came to report: "Report! Zhu Jun, the right middle general, has been defeated by the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai, and has now retreated to Changshe County, Yingchuan County, Yuzhou, to assist in the defense with the left middle lang general Huangfu Song! ”

"The Runan Yellow Turban Army defeated Runan Taishou Zhao Qian in Shaoling!"

"The Guangyang Yellow Turban Army killed Guo Xun, the assassin of Youzhou, and Liu Wei!"

A series of reports of defeat came, and Jia Xu frowned: "The Yellow Turban Army is in full swing, and it is difficult to resist. ”

Ma Chao sneered: "Zhang Jiao has been preparing for so long, and the first battle is absolutely swift, but after all, the Yellow Turban Army is composed of peasants, and the follow-up combat ability is insufficient, so there is no need to worry." ”

Jia Xu said: "It's just a pity that Youzhou Thorn Shi Guo Xun and Taishou Liu Wei, even if our army has helped them sweep the 5 counties of Zhuo County, Shanggu, Guangyang, Dai County, and Yuyang, they still can't resist the attack of the Youzhou Yellow Turban." ”

Ma Chao pondered for a moment and said: "Since Youzhou Assassin Shi died in battle, and a county Taishou died, and now Youzhou has fallen into a situation where the dragons are leaderless, I should send a letter to Su Dingfang, so that he can wait for the opportunity to move and seize the right to speak in Youzhou!" ”

"It's April now, and our army should be stationed on the border of Jizhou before May, and go all the way south to attack Zhongshan and Changshan, until Julu County, with deep ditches and high bases, thinking that our army is based on it!"
