Near Chaohu Lake, a quiet place away from the avenue, where the trees are shaded, there is a fort dock, named Hujiawu, the fort door is written with four big characters of Feiyun Liuquan, which is where the Hu family is quite powerful in the Chaohu area.

At this time, in the spacious Hujiabao hall, dozens of people gathered, all well-dressed, all of them were famous families in the Jianghuai area, and they were in response to Yuan Shu's secret call to secretly gather in Chaohu to plot against Zhang Liao's mastermind.

For them, responding to Yuan Shu's call and hiding behind Zhang Liao to plot against Zhang Liao originally felt that it was not a dangerous thing, but it was a feat to be admired and appreciated by the world's families, and to gain great fame, but when it came to the end, they found that things did not seem to be so smooth and pleasant, and the crisis came in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Liao's 10,000 iron horsemen came to Chaohu, and tens of thousands of bandits ambushed their corpses in one day, making Chaohu more bloody, and the excitement in the hearts of these people hiding behind them also turned into panic.

They seem to have caused a big trouble, and the initiator Yuan Shu ......

At this time, a middle-aged man looked around and said: "Zhang Liao has gone south to Chaohu, with 10,000 cavalry ......" He paused here and said: "At the beginning, it was planned that Yuan Highway would contain Zhang Liao's main force, and I would transfer Zhang Liao south to Chaohu with his brother's life, so that he would not bring too many soldiers and horses, but I hated that Yuan Highway was too incompetent, and the 200,000 soldiers and horses could not even delay Zhang Liao's main force, and now that 10,000 cavalry are here, I am afraid that the plan will change." ”

Someone said hatefully: "It's a pity that Yuan Highway is incompetent, not only can he not hold back Zhang Liao's main force, but Zhang Liao won more with less, and he died in Ruyin, it's really ...... Ay! ”

This person looked distressed, as if Yuan Shu had suddenly become a stupid hat.

"What? Yuan Highway is dead?! ”

Some people here knew the news of Yuan Shu's death, but some people didn't know it yet, and they were extremely shocked when they heard the news at this time.

"Didn't Yuan Highway bring 300,000 soldiers and horses? How many days has it been? ”

"Zhang Liao is so powerful?! I'm afraid those bandits won't be able to stop ......."

"What should I do?"

At this time, a person said loudly: "That's Yuan Highway incompetent, what if Zhang Liao has 10,000 cavalry now?" It is useless to go to Chaohu, we have gathered 30,000 bandits, and each has 2,000 soldiers, and there are 80,000 people in Chaohu, even if one person spit on a mouthful, it is enough to drown Zhang Liao. ”

Someone immediately shook his head and objected: "Otherwise, Zhang Liao's cavalry is still very terrible, I heard that Zhang Liao's soldiers are divided into two ways, and the bandits who died in his hands are close to 10,000, and several thieves are afraid......

At this time, Hu Ming, the owner of Hujiabao, stood up, with an old-fashioned attitude, and said with solemn and disgusting: "This Liao is really Dong Zhuo and the like, killing people without blinking, we can tell the world about his evil deeds......"

Everyone couldn't help but pull out their cheeks, you are going to kill Zhang Liao, and you are not allowed to resist?

Do you want Zhang Liao to tie his hands and be killed?

If Zhang Liao was really that stupid, I'm afraid he would have been counted dead by those guys in Luoyang.

At this time, a young man with a gloomy face said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I have sent a message to the one-eyed Zhu Jiang, asking him to dig a pit on the road, pull a horse rope, and set up a horse rejection, as long as Zhang Liao's cavalry can't run, he can be trapped in Chaohu Lake!" ”

This person's name is Yuan Jian, it is Yuan Shu who sent to secretly contact them from these families, he is a member of Yuan Shu's clan, the news of Yuan Shu's death made him shocked and angry, and he was ruthless to kill Zhang Liao in the land of Chaohu.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions were slightly calm, followed by a person who said in a deep voice: "Although Zhang Liao is strong, he doesn't know the land of Chaohu, as long as it is night, they are headless flies, they can gather all the bandits in Chaohu Lake and attack and kill them in one fell swoop!" ”

This person is the number two person of the Jianghuai Chen family, and he has always been wise, and everyone is also convinced when they hear it, and they feel that what he said is extremely reasonable.

Yuan Jian's expression shook slightly, and he nodded: "Don't worry, as long as I pass the news to the one-eyed Zhu Jiang, Zhu Jiang will never give up the opportunity of the night attack, Zhang Liao will definitely die!" ”

"Yes, a night raid is a good ploy."

"Zhang Liao doesn't know the land of Chaohu, so he just needs it."

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement.

……

At dusk, after another killing, those bandits receded like a tide, and Zhang Liao led three thousand iron horsemen to stand under the slanting sun, looking at the tripping horses and traps not far away.

In terms of combat effectiveness, these bandits are a group of scum in front of his cavalry, vulnerable to attack, although there are many bandits, but they are almost crushed all the way, retreating and retreating.

It wasn't until these bandits began to dig pits, bury their horses and pull up their ropes on the road ahead, that they became the biggest obstacle to the cavalry's advance, and once they dismounted and cleared, they would be surrounded by these bandits again.

The cavalry loses its mobility, and the horses become an obstacle.

It seems that it is almost dusk, and now it is impossible to rush forward, and it is definitely more dangerous to walk at night.

But it is also troublesome to camp in this area of Chaohu Lake, no matter how strong the camp is, I am afraid that it will not stop overnight, and it is even very dangerous.

You must know that the war horses are very afraid of fire and sudden loud noises at night, once these bandits use fire attacks or beat drums violently at night, once the war horses run wildly, without these bandits attacking, Zhang Liao's own camp will be chaotic first.

Judging from the performance of these bandits before and after, there must be a master behind them, and strategies such as fire attacks are likely to be implemented, and what bandits are best at is killing people and setting fires.

However, Zhang Liao naturally had his own plan to deal with it, and he sent Yang Han out as early as noon and mixed into the bandit group to find out some news.

Speaking of Yang Han, the corners of Zhang Liao's mouth couldn't help but smile, he has a lot of fierce generals, but there are not many clever and cunning ghosts like Yang Han, especially Yang Han seems to be rough and majestic, which has become his biggest disguise.

Zhang Liao had let Yang Han lead the scout camp at the beginning of the year, and then Zhang Liao sent Yang Han to the north of the country to watch Xianbei, who was watching the state, and it turned out that Zhang Liao's vision was right, Yang Han did not disappoint Zhang Liao, so that Xianbei had no time to attack and merge the state during the years of civil strife, and Yang Han can be said to have made great contributions.

This time, Zhang Liao let Yang Han change his clothes in the chaos of the war and blend into the bandits, Yang Han's appearance looks like a bandit alive, those bandits are already chaotic, and several leaders are gathered, with Yang Han's cleverness is enough to be like a fish in water among the bandits.

Those bandits were really afraid of being killed, and they didn't dare to attack again for a while, but they were frantically digging more traps in the rear, Zhang Liao let the cavalry rest for a while, and when he was thinking about it, someone came to report that Yang Han was back.

Zhang Liao's eyes lit up: "Spread quickly!" ”

Soon, a bandit who escaped alive bowed on one knee in front of Zhang Liao, and said with sincere fear: "Bandit Yang Han meets the general!" ”

"Hahahaha! What a Yang Zhongfang, what kind of thief is he pretending! ”

Zhang Liao looked at Yang Han's posture, couldn't help laughing, and helped him up with his own hands: "Have you ever found out the news of the thief's nest?" ”

Yang Han patted his chest excitedly and said: "The general can rest assured, I Yang Han will never come back!" I have investigated, these thieves belong to four aggregates, and there are many powerful sect thieves, there are two of the nearest thieves' nests, one of them is in front, and there are five miles, but one of them is behind us, it is one of the strongholds of the thief head Zhu blind, four miles away in the northwest, is a fort dock, I have explored the route, although there are many thieves there, but because behind us, there is no digging pit. ”

"Good!" Zhang Liao laughed and said: "I'm really tired of killing so many pigs today, tonight I will take the brothers to sleep comfortably in the blind fort!" ”

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
