The Weishui tributary, on the originally vast plain on the shore, suddenly raised real sand and dust, and then saw tens of thousands of cavalry, the appearance of a mighty one, which seemed to add a lot of cold and bloody to the originally peaceful and peaceful environment.

This army is naturally the rebels of Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others, after abandoning the county seat of Qidao, they ordered the whole army to speed up, and it took a day of hard work to finally arrive here, and as long as they cross this Weishui tributary, pass through Luomenju halfway, and march for two days, they can directly take Liangzhou Prefecture and Hanyang County to govern Ji County.

In the center of the army, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and several main figures of the rebels around them had a good conversation, of course, they did not talk about the story of the defeat under the city of Qidao County, if they did so, it would undoubtedly shake the morale of the army.

The front gradually reached the Weishui tributary, looking at the familiar place, Bian Zhang's heart was inexplicably a little strange, and even the mood that was still talking and laughing with Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others also became a little hazy.

After a long time, Bian Zhang's strange appearance will obviously be noticed by others, Beigong Boyu saw it, and asked suspiciously: "General Bian, what happened?" ”

Bian Zhang shook his head and said: "I don't know why, I am worried in my heart, there seems to be something strange here." ”

"What's the difference?"

"I don't know."

"Hahaha! I want to come to the past General Bian to scold the old thief of Gaixun, and today I am still uneasy! Seeing that Bian Zhang had been talking for a long time, but he didn't say the reason for his abnormal sensations, Beigong Boyu remembered something and laughed.

Everyone frowned when they heard this, and secretly said that this Beigong Boyu is really a Qianghu person, extremely arrogant, and he will not save face for these allies at all, even his friend Li Wenhou is also a little smiling about Beigong Boyu's words at this moment.

In fact, Beigong Boyu's words are short, last year, Bian Zhang led people to attack the rear of the Han army and besieged Ji County, and later Gai Xun led people to rescue Ji County, and scolded Bian Zhang and others for rebelling against the Han Dynasty, which everyone knows. After that, Bian Zhang confessed to Gai Xun and withdrew his troops, to a certain extent, in the hearts of everyone, Bian Zhang was a little cowardly, but everyone is now a grasshopper tied to a rope after all, no matter how Beigong Boyu is, he has to think clearly about the consequences of saying this.

The scene was embarrassing for a while, that is, the party Bian Zhang was Beigong Boyu, and it was a little unnatural to mention this past, after all, in the final analysis, a year ago, he was still Hanchen, but now he has become a thief, and his identity has changed too quickly.

Seeing this, Li Wenhou hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "General Bian doesn't have to sigh, when we break through Ji County, we will capture Gai Xun Lao'er and relieve the general's hatred!" ”

"That's right! Capture Gai Xun Lao'er to relieve his hatred. ”

"Break through Ji County and capture the old man!"

"Loot Ji County and kill Sanfu."

……

"Let's go!"

With the beginning of Li Wenhou, soon his words were echoed by the generals around him, just talking and talking, they changed their taste, they were still thieves in their bones, and after a few words, they turned the topic to looting, and then under the leadership of Beigong Boyu, they rode their horses to keep up with the army and went straight to the Weishui tributary.

Bian Zhang, who was supposed to be comforted, was suddenly caught off guard by the changing actions of the rebel generals, and before they could react, they rode away because of the excitement that they could rob.

Thinking of the words of the generals just now, Bian Zhang didn't know if his original idea of rebelling against the Han was right, in order to join the rebels, they found a reason to clean the monarch's side, sweep away the eunuchs, and return the Han to political clarity.

However, as time progresses, the rebels are still the thief army that can only plunder, and he seems to have forgotten his original wish, but instead integrated into the rebel army and enjoyed his position in the rebel army. At the same time, it is also caught in the struggle for power in this newly rising military force, which is completely different from before.

Forget it, everything has its own destiny, no matter how much he regrets it, it is useless, it is better to live in the moment and go with the flow.

Soon, Bian Zhang adjusted his mood and followed the horse away, as for the strangeness he felt before from the previous time when he came here, he put it aside for the time being.

Ahead, there is a tributary of the Weishui River, where the rebels had already passed last year, and there was no need to look for it, so they gathered in a diving beach downstream to prepare to cross the river.

All the rebels were preparing to cross the river, and when they arrived at the side chapter on the bank of the river, they saw the river, although they were suspicious in their hearts, and secretly wondered why the river was so low?

"Command, cross the river!"

Hearing Beigong Boyu's order and preparing to order the army to cross the river, Bian Zhang hurriedly stopped: "Wait! ”

"Huh?" Interrupted by Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu was obviously unhappy and said, "What does General Bian want?" ”

"There's something weird here."

"Weird?"

"Exactly!" Bian Zhang replied in a positive voice: "Last year, a certain passage here, the water level in the river has not been so low, it is really suspicious. ”

Hearing this, among the people, except for those who sent troops with Bian Zhang last year, everyone else was attracted by Bian Zhang, and hurriedly asked Bian Zhang's doubts.

With the explanation of the side chapter, the water level was higher than the horse's leg when he passed through this place last year, but this year it was lower than the horse's leg, and the gap between the two is relatively large.

However, some people doubt, some people of course believe, such as Beigong Boyu, after listening to what Bian Zhang said: "The water level in summer is higher than in spring, which is very common, and General Bian should not be suspicious." According to a certain point of view, General Bian has already scolded the old thief Gaixun! ”

After speaking, Beigong Boyu laughed, causing many other people around him to laugh too, obviously, he didn't take Bian Zhang, a recent high-level upstart of the rebels, in his eyes.

The humiliated Bian Zhang wanted to pay tribute to Beigong Boyu, but after thinking of the strength of Beigong Boyu in the army now, he could only hold back his thoughts, their rights were given by Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others, unless the two of them were gone, he Bian Zhang obviously had no chance of ascending to the throne.

Of course, because of this, knowing how to remind him, Bian Zhang simply stopped saying nothing and let Beigong Boyu order.

"Command the armies, cross the river and march!"

Facing the soldiers around him, Beigong Boyu shouted, in fact, he didn't have doubts about the water level of the river in his heart, but this tributary can only be higher than the horse's leg and calf, obviously too sorry for its source Weishui.

However, after all, time is of the essence now, and if you spend time scouting this river and finding the reason before sending troops, it is obvious that the strategy of this wave of surprise attacks will definitely be ruined. Therefore, Beigong Boyu was very anxious, and even suspected that there were ghosts in the water, but he still insisted on marching quickly with the army, because time could not be wasted.

If it is a few steps later, when it is in the county seat of Jixian County, the soldiers sent by the Han army to inform the whereabouts of the rebels in the city will be informed, and at that time, it will be very difficult for the rebels to attack the city again. Beigong Boyu, who gave up attacking the county seat of Jidao a few years ago, if he can't quickly capture Ji County, let alone the subsequent invasion of Sanfu, it is impossible to rob the county seat of Ji County, and this will also cause the loyalty of the people who belong to him in the rebel army, and he can't bring them benefits, Beigong Boyu has no doubt that these people will betray him.

Therefore, after hearing Bian Zhang's worried words, Beigong Boyu immediately instigated him, and then immediately ordered the army to cross the river, and the army needed an indulgence to maintain morale.

In the distance on the north bank of Weishui, in a jungle, it is quiet, and not even a bird can be seen, which shows that there must be something strange in this forest, in fact, it is exactly the case, and the 10,000 elite horsemen under the command of Fuquan are ambushing here.

Shicai, seeing the rebels to the bank of the river, forbidden not to move, but frightened Fuquan, for fear that the rebels would see something, but fortunately, he was also relieved to see that the rebels finally marched to the shoals of the Weishui tributary.

Time passed slowly, and at this moment, every minute and second was a torment for Fuquan, and he needed to observe the number of rebels crossing the river before deciding when to signal the Han army next to the upstream embankment to dig the embankment and release water.

This is also for a reason, because on the south bank of the Weishui tributary, there are only more than 7,000 foot soldiers temporarily gathered by Ma Teng, if too many rebels are really allowed to cross the river, it is impossible to say that Ma Teng's soldiers and horses can be annihilated by the rebels.

And in terms of Fuquan's hatred for flooding them with water, it is impossible to say that these rebels are going to kill on a large scale, in that case, even if Fuquan ambushes the rebels in this battle, it is estimated that he will have to suffer because of the invasion of Sanfu, which is obviously not what he wants to see.

Soon, when he saw that the rebels had about 7 or 8,000 people crossing the river, Fu Quan immediately signaled to Huang Zhong beside him, ordering him to release the water upstream.

Huang Zhong got the order, and after facing the woods, the dozens of Han soldiers who were waiting in battle waved their hands, and the dozens of soldiers immediately took the things in their hands and went out of the forest.

In a no-man's land outside the forest, the dozens of soldiers, each holding a lantern-like thing in their hands. However, compared to ordinary lanterns, these lanterns are artificially dyed black, and the volume of this lantern is obviously several times larger than ordinary lanterns.

Everyone carefully arranged their "big lanterns" so that the grease inside would not be exposed, and then a soldier brought a candle that had been prepared and lit the grease that had been placed in the lantern.

Soon, as the lights in the various "big lanterns" were lit, the "big lanterns" stayed on the ground for a short time, and then flew into the air, and the soldiers waited for all the lanterns to fly, and then quickly ran back to the woods, preparing their weapons and horses, because they knew that there would be a fierce battle in a while.

In the sky, suddenly, dozens of black dots floated up, alarming countless people.

"Pingxi's method is very wonderful, and I convince it."

In the woods, Jia Xu looked at the countless black dots floating in the sky, looking confused, he didn't expect that the small lantern would be so useful?

"This is a trivial matter, and it is not enough to worry about it!"

“……”

Fu Quan didn't hesitate to pretend to be forced, and he didn't know what to say to Jia Xu, looking at Jia Xu's bewildered look, his heart was also very happy, every time he watched him pretend to be forced, this time he finally took revenge, he was really happy.

After that, the other generals under Fuquan also followed to compliment Fuquan, but it made him have a special taste in his heart, hehe, the "Kong Ming Lantern" that later generations will know, take it out and pretend to be forced in front of the ancients, and use the things of the ancients to tease the ancients, which is really a bit interesting.

In the distance, just as the rebels were crossing the river at the shallows of the river bank in order, suddenly, many people noticed the black anomaly in the sky and whispered, what happened?

"What is this? Looks like a lantern? Bian Zhang pointed to the black thing in the sky, and asked suspiciously, this thing that looks like a lantern faintly makes him feel uneasy, could it be that his bad feeling today is really going to be fulfilled?

When the rest of the people heard this, they all shook their heads, and they didn't know what the black thing floating in the sky was.

If it is a lantern, everyone has actually seen it, especially the Lantern Festival, and they will not be too surprised by this. After all, since the invention of coarse paper in the former Han Dynasty, lanterns have been made by the common people, and the wise Han ancestors used bamboo strips to tie into a square frame, pasted paper, put grease in it, and made a large lantern, and the lantern was made.

Therefore, in the former Han Dynasty, with the Han Wen Emperor Liu Heng ordering the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to be named the "Lantern Festival", and to the Han Ming Emperor Liu Zhuang ordered to light the lamp to worship the Buddha, after the people hung the lanterns, the people of the Han Dynasty had the custom of watching the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.

These rebels had all seen lanterns, but they had never seen such a large lantern, and they were black, and an unknown aura slowly attacked, making everyone frown.

In the upper reaches of the Weishui tributary, the spring breeze was blowing, blowing the cloak on Wang Qiao's body, and the hunting sound, at this moment, Lu Xun's figure looked extraordinarily cold.

"General! The rebels have crossed the river, when they dig Dir? Qu Chang beside him looked at the direction of the downstream, and the rebels who had already crossed a lot of them, and hurriedly reminded that although they couldn't see the specific situation downstream, they could still see the black shadows crossing the river clearly.

"No order in Pingxi, no embankment can be dug!" Wang Qiao Huoran refused, Fuquan arranged for him to dig a levee here, to give him a chance, and strictly ordered him to read the heavenly instructions, without an order, even if all the rebels crossed the river, he would not give the order.

"But there is no movement in the sky, and if we wait any longer, the rebels will definitely cross the river, and when the time comes, it will be too late to regret it."

"Those who dare to resist the order, behead!" Wang Qiao shouted coldly, and then looked up to the sky, but he couldn't see any instructions, let the rebels cross the river, he would not order the embankment to be dug, for him, Fuquan's order was heaven.

"This ...... Hey......" Qu Chang was gloomy, knowing that there was no need to persuade him, and then looked at the sky, secretly thinking that General Pingxi was really sick, how could the heavens communicate him, and he missed the opportunity in vain, which was really not like a famous general.

It's just that, all of a sudden, the Qu Chang suddenly saw a series of black things in the sky, and immediately pointed to the black things and said excitedly: "General, look! ”

Wang Qiao had been looking at the sky, and at this time he had already seen it, and immediately, the corners of his mouth had bloomed with a trace of cold hideousness, looking at the rebels who were crossing the river downstream, and shouted word by word: "Order, dig the embankment, and drown all the traitors downstream!" ”

"No!" The chief of the song responded violently, and when he turned around, he waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers under his command, "The general has an order, dig the embankment and release the water!" ”

Hundreds of Han soldiers, who were waiting for the battle, and then the people who had recruited them, quickly waved their hoes and began to dig, and in less than a moment they dug a hole in the embankment made of sandbags.

Soon, I saw countless people slowly overflowing along the opening, and under the all-pervasive infiltration of him, the sandbags on both sides of the gap quickly softened and collapsed, and then expanded rapidly, and soon, the river in the embankment immediately became violent and rushed downstream......
