Zhang He led his troops to chase all the way, and did not catch up after a mile, Zhang Liang and others retreated too fast, Huangfu Song's army wanted to chase, but was hindered by the Yellow Turban deserters, so they could only grit their teeth and kill the enemy.

"General, this can't be done," Han Hao leaned in front of Zhang He, "There are too many Yellow Turban troops, and General Huangfu is so hindered, I don't know when we can intercept them?" ”

Zhang He took out the map, "The direction they are going to now is the direction of the Zhanghe River, and we are closer to the upstream than they are to the river, so we hurry up, rush to the upstream, intercept the water source, and when they see that the water is shallow and want to cross the river, open the gate and release the water, so that they can't cross the river, and they can go out and die in a battle." ”

Han Hao burst out laughing, Zhang He didn't know what to do, and slapped him on the helmet, "What are you laughing at?" Don't hurry up and march? ”

Han Hao got on the horse and couldn't help laughing, "General, this river is also called Zhanghe, hahahahahaha~"

When the soldiers behind him heard this, they also smiled and leaned back, Zhang He's face darkened, but he also smiled, "Since you are so fateful, you will definitely bless us with a great victory, brothers, let's go!" ”

Sure enough, as Zhang He expected, the water level of the Zhanghe River would be enough to wade through the river at this time, Zhang He hurriedly asked the soldiers to cut down wood and cut off the water, and within half an hour, the water level dropped significantly.

Zhang He personally acted as a scout to observe the marching speed of Zhang Liang and the others, and when he saw that Zhang Liang and their front army had approached the Zhanghe River, he couldn't help but sweat in his heart.

In fact, if they have a large number of soldiers and elite soldiers, they don't need such a complicated way, they come from the diagonal rear, and they are not congested by the chaotic soldiers like Huangfu Song and them, just cut over to fight.

But because they have 400 elite soldiers and 600 newly recruited miscellaneous soldiers, such a lineup will have to be trampled by people if they can't even make a splash in front of the Yellow Turban Army.

After all, Zhang Liang and other yellow turbans have lived nearby, and they have an understanding of when the water level is.

However, Zhang He could only bet, first, that Zhang Liang had no time to think about the emergency, and second, that Zhang Liang had never paid attention to the water level of the Zhanghe River.

Obviously, Zhang He's bet is right, Zhang Liang is different from Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang is a typical brave and unscrupulous person, although his personality is more likable than Zhang Bao, but this kind of person will suffer more.

Zhang Liang and others traveled to the vicinity of the Zhanghe River, Zhang Liang saw that the water level of the Zhanghe River was low, about five feet, and most of the people could cross it, he was very excited, and his heart said God helped me, and he prepared to cross the river with his head.

He grabbed him, "General, this water level is not right, right?" The water level of the Zhanghe River should be seven feet now, why is it only five feet? ”

Zhang Liang waved his hand and shook him off, "Nonsense, there is a big drought this year, and the water level must have dropped, cross the river quickly, otherwise the Han army will chase after you, and you won't be able to cross the river if you want to!" ”

Before Zhang Liang could give orders, the yellow turbans rushed into the river like dumplings, scrambling to cross the river, and some of them fought against their comrades in order to run forward first.

Seeing that Zhang Liang didn't listen, he slapped his thigh, so he could only rush with his head.

Although he is short in stature, he has the ability that most of the Jizhou yellow scarves do not have, swimming, his hometown is near the sea near Goguryeo, and he has practiced a good water art since he was a child.

As Su Gu expected, Zhang He in the upper reaches did do something on the Zhanghe River, and seeing that Zhang Liang and his people had entered the water, Zhang He hurriedly shot the arrow in his hand.

Han Hao saw the signal and shouted excitedly: "Brothers, push driftwood!" Let the water catch fish! Kill me! ”

Zhang He saw that Han Hao and the others had finished releasing the water, and the water level had risen by more than three feet, thinking that basically no one could avoid it, so he also turned over and waited for Han Hao to lead the troops to make peace.

"Boom..."Listening to the sound of boiling water, Zhang Liang also deliberately glanced at the sky, "Why is there thunder in October?" Or is it a sunny day? ”

The big alarm in his heart, "General, there must be someone blocking the water upstream, now let it go, let's go ashore quickly!" ”

Zhang Liang was so frightened that his heart and gall were broken, although he was tall, he couldn't swim, he was wrapped in water, and he died without life.

Just as he was heading to the opposite bank, two or three feet away from the other bank, the water mixed with driftwood rushed over, and he was also frightened, and shouted "Inhale!" So he pressed Zhang Liang into the water.

Zhang Liangzheng was stunned, and subconsciously took a breath when he heard the inhalation, and was pressed into the water as soon as he finished inhaling, and the two of them were dizzy by the water and drifted downstream, while many of the inexperienced Yellow Turban thieves were hit by driftwood, and their heads were directly broken and bleeding, and they died in the water.

Some of the tens of thousands of yellow scarves who have not yet stepped into the river immediately coaxed, and wanted to run to both sides but were surrounded by Huangfu Song's army, and wanted to surrender on their knees.

Zhang He and others were very witty, they crossed the river first after blocking the water, and they rushed into battle to kill the Yellow Turban soldiers who were paralyzed by the river after crossing the river, and they did not encounter decent resistance, and they killed indiscriminately, and traced Zhang Liang's traces along the riverbank.

When the water was calm, he came out of the water, found that he had been washed away by the water for a long time, and he recognized the direction, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Liang to the shore.

When he went ashore, Zhang Liang was already out of breath, his stomach was swollen like a pregnant woman, and he was pressed and chiseled indiscriminately, which made Zhang Liang spit out a mouthful of water and began to cough violently.

He relieved his yellow scarf and armor, and wanted to help Zhang Liang untie it, but Zhang Liang clenched his hand, Zhang Liang was in a daze, and felt that someone wanted to move him, so he immediately reflexively resisted.

There was no way, he punched Zhang Liang in the stomach, Zhang Liang spit out a big mouthful of water, and his mind was a lot clearer, "White Rabbit, where are we?" ”

"General, you can wake up, we were washed out of the water, it is estimated that there are more than ten miles, we first find a place to take refuge, we have to take off the armor and silk scarf first, find a village to hide overnight and then make plans."

Zhang Liang thought so, and hurriedly asked Wei Gu to help him remove the armor, and he took off the yellow scarf and folded it into his chest clothes, "Let's go!" ”

But he said that someone from the village in front of him happened to come out, and when he saw these two people helping each other and walking towards the village, he hurriedly went back and shouted: "Brother Lan, Brother Lan! Outsiders are coming! ”

After a while, a group of villagers with hoes and shovels surrounded them, and one of them was more than 20 years old, holding a long wooden gun, pointing at the two of them, "Who are you?" Come and do what in our village! ”

Zhang Liang's eyelids drooped, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he quickly replied: "We were originally merchants who came and went to Wuhuan to sell horses, and when we passed through the Zhanghe River recently, we were in a war, and the Han army wanted to kill us and take the lead in the army, so we fled in a hurry, but we were washed here by the Han army's water, we have no money on us, and we have just soaked in water, please give us a sip of hot soup to drink."

The one named Brother Lan frowned, "Third uncle, third uncle? ”

An old strong man walked out with a limp, "Ahwan, what are you telling me to do?" ”

The young man leaned close to the third uncle's ear and said a few words, the third uncle sighed, opened his mouth and threw out a few words of Wuhuan greeting, everyone looked confused, and Su Gu hurriedly replied, it seems that the test has passed and can be safely sheltered.

The third uncle nodded after saying a few words, and the young man waved his hand for everyone to put down their weapons, "You go to me first, don't walk around, otherwise you will be responsible for what happens, if you do anything to our villagers, I will put you on a tree and hang it!" ”

Su Gu hurriedly said yes, and took Zhang Liang into the village, a few words of Wuhuan language are easy for people like Su Gu who have dealt with Wuhuan for more than ten years, this excuse is indeed very useful.

Not long after, Zhang He received a report from the scout, and found the armor and the yellow scarf thrown by the two of them, and there was a village in front of him, Zhang He slapped his thigh, don't let the yellow scarf harm the people, and quickly ordered to go to the village.

When this large number of horse teams came, the shock was still relatively large, and the young man and Zhenggu felt it immediately, and the young man immediately shouted: "The man picks up his weapon and goes to the entrance of the village, and the woman quickly hides!"

Zheng Gu also wanted to pull Zhang Liang to hide with the women, but the young man grabbed him, "You're not a man?" He's not a man? ”

He had no choice but to hide behind the villagers and go out with the men.
