This is an ordinary small village in Anping, but there is no usual human population, only smoke rising into the sky and ruins all over the village.

"Boom!" The sound of horses' hooves came from outside.

"Huh? What was that? A Yellow Turban soldier who had just woken up stood up in a grove near the village.

There were nearly 100 of these Yellow Turbans, and yesterday they had just ransacked this unknown village, which had a small population of only about 20 households, and the people in the village had basically been killed, and the tired Yellow Turbans had camped in the grove near the village.

"Whew!" There was a sound of breaking the air, and several Yellow Turban soldiers who heard the sound screamed directly, and then fell to the ground in disbelief.

"What's going on?" More of the Yellow Turbans also woke up, and the Yellow Turban Commander asked in horror.

"Officers and cavalry!" The Yellow Turban Tun Commander turned his head to see that a group of Han cavalry of hundreds of people was only a few dozen steps away from them, and he could even see the indifferent face on the face of the Han cavalry at the front.

"Whew!" Another rain of arrows fell, and more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers fell.

"Oh my god! Run! At this time, this group of unconscious Yellow Turban soldiers reacted, threw down their weapons and fled in all directions.

But how can human legs outrun the four hooves of a war horse? The Han cavalry soon pursued the Yellow Turban soldiers, raised their spears and stabbed them in the back.

"Spare your life! We surrender, don't kill me! Several Yellow Turban soldiers saw that their comrades were slaughtered by the Han cavalry, and the remaining cavalry saw that they were about to catch up with them, so they had to throw down their weapons and pray for their lives.

The Han army Sima who took the lead obviously hesitated, before going south, Yao Jie said that this was a civil war of the Han people, try to keep prisoners, and this army Sima himself used to be the Yellow Turban Army, and was captured by Yao Jie in the Battle of Zhuoxian, and later joined the conquest army, and had a natural sympathy for those compatriots who also had to rebel because they did not have enough to eat.

"Tell Master Jun Sima, the people in that small village are all dead, and even the old and weak women and children have not been spared!" A scout from the small village reported, glaring at the kneeling Yellow Turbans, causing them to shrink their necks in fright.

"Bring them here!" After speaking, Jun Sima walked towards the small village.

Looking at the innocent villagers who were brutally killed, Jun Sima almost breathed fire in his eyes, looked at the Yellow Turban captives kneeling on the side and said, "Did you do this!" ”

"The general spares his life!" The Yellow Turban captives knew that it was useless to defend themselves, so they just knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

"I'm afraid these people begged you like this in the first place, right? Why didn't I see you brutes let them go, come and pull them down and cut them down, and use them to pay tribute to these dead people! Jun Sima kicked a Yellow Turban captive in the chest and cursed. These Han soldiers are also ordinary people, many of them were born the same as these dead people, so they naturally don't want their relatives to follow in the footsteps of these people, and they will naturally not be soft on these executioners who wantonly slaughter people.

"General, our army has paid attention to its whereabouts along the way, the Yellow Turban Army encountered along the way has been wiped out by our army, and I'm afraid it's too late for Zhang Bao to get the news." A conscripted soldier reported to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu nodded, the conquest army followed Yao Jie's order to detour from the east, trying to avoid the Yellow Turban Army sent out by Zhang Bao to plunder, now the conquest army has passed Nangong County, but Zhang Bao is still drunk and dreaming of death in the belief of Anping Guozhi, and the 100,000 army is scattered everywhere to plunder, even if Zhang Bao finds the conquest army now, there is not enough time to gather troops and retreat before the captive army arrives in Tangyang.

"Tell the general, the front is Tangyang County, the three thousand Yellow Turban Army defending in the city was defeated by the vanguard army led by General Guan with a charge, and now Tangyang County has been occupied by our army!" A herald said to Yao Jie.

After approaching Tangyang, Yao Jie could already see the situation on the city wall, because Guan Yu was a surprise attack, so there was no tug-of-war with the city wall at the city gate, so there was not much change on the city wall, but there were dozens of Han soldiers in red robes and a fluttering red background "Han" character flag.

"Big brother, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored!" As soon as Yao Jie came to the city gate, Guan Yu went out of the city to greet him.

"How's it going in the city?" Yao Jie personally helped Guan Yu up and asked.

"The three thousand Yellow Turban troops in the city are completely defenseless and vulnerable, our army easily defeated them, and now they are clearing the remnants of the enemy in the city, but Zhang Bao is afraid that he has also received news!" Guan Yu replied, when it came to the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army, Guan Yu's arrogant face obviously showed a trace of disdain, but Yao Jie didn't like to see their arrogant appearance, so Guan Yu's expression converged a lot.

"Okay, enter the city immediately, even if Zhang Bao gets the news, it's already too late!" Yao Jie waved his hand and took the lead in entering Tangyang City.

"What, there is a Han army that has passed through Nangong County, and the number is unknown?" Zhang Bao's news was obviously much behind, and the conquest army did not take the opportunity to recover Nangong County, and the crossing of the brigade of soldiers and horses must not be hidden, so the Yellow Turban Army in Nangong County immediately sent a letter to report to Zhang Bao.

In fact, Zhang Bao learned very early that several counties had lost contact, and they may have been broken by the Han army, but he never took it to heart, Zhang Bao's subconscious thought that there were no large forces of officers and troops in this vicinity except for Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi was dragged by Zhang Jiao, as for Yao Jie, he didn't think at all, Yao Jie had been in Zhuo County for a few months, and Zhang Bao had already classified Yao Jie as a careerist in his heart, thinking that the other party was just preparing to seize Youzhou and would not go south.

The distance between Nangong County and Xindu is about the same as the distance between Tangyang and Xindu, but it is a little farther than the distance between Nangong and Tangyang.

"Send the order, order all the troops scattered in various places to assemble and prepare to meet the officers and soldiers!" Although I don't know how many of these officers and soldiers there are, but Zhang Bao, who has fought with the officers and soldiers, does not dare to underestimate them, the combat effectiveness of the Han army is very strong, thousands of Han troops can even resist tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops in the city without defeat, if the number of this officer army exceeds 10,000, it is enough to pose a huge threat to his 100,000 troops scattered all over the place, Zhang Bao is also afraid of being broken by each.

The Yellow Turban Army, which had plundered all over Anping for more than half a month, was a wail, they knew that their good days were over, and they were going to the battlefield again to fight with the officers and soldiers, and they had robbed a lot of money during this time, so they were naturally reluctant to continue to fight the battlefield.
