But said that day to attack the city, Du Kang was also the first soldier, after Guan Yu's department entered the city, followed closely behind, from the west gate to the south gate, and beheaded more than 20 rebels, which can be described as extremely brave.

Later, when the results of the battle were counted, Fu Quan heard about it, so he gave Du Kang, the concubine of the rebel Qu Shuai, who had been sleeping for a few days, as a reward. The reason why this is so is because he doesn't have much money in his hands, after all, leading the army on an expedition, all the ferries under his command can be a lot of pressure on the capacity of the ships, how can he bring how much goods?

As for the court reward?

That will have to wait until after the chaos is quelled, and with the reason why he offended the Jingzhou army, especially Zhao Kai, the assassin of Jingzhou, it is impossible to intercept the goods from the treasury of Jingzhou counties, and it is not bad to be able to supply him with continuous food now. Fu Quan thought about it, if he wasn't afraid that he would be impeached with conclusive evidence after he was cut off from food, it was estimated that Zhao Kai might have cut off his food a long time ago.

Of course, at this time, Fuquan didn't know that the court almost had a wave of uncontrollable farce because of his obvious impeachment good news. If he knew, he would definitely not think about impeaching Zhao Kai anymore, who knows what they would say about impeachment in the mouths of those eunuchs who can reverse black and white.

In my memory, Emperor Ling in the history books was "deceived by the ghost words of the ten permanent servants", of course, no one knows whether this emperor was simply really deceived by the eunuchs, or was willing to be deceived by the eunuchs, so that the eunuchs could be used as a weapon for him to confront foreign courtiers.

Originally, after Fuquan occupied the county seat of Exian County, he did not plan to take any action, after all, he had already formed a bond with Zhao Kai, and it was impossible for him to give up the county seat of Exian County. According to Fu Quan's original intention, if he goes on another expedition, he will have to wait until the matter between himself and Zhao Kai is resolved, after all, he is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, now he and Zhao Kai are so stiff, if Zhao Kai really has the intention to target himself, isn't he looking for death when he goes to attack other cities at this time? Who knows if Zhao Kai will have his brain pumped and take risks to deal with himself, if that is the case, he will lose more than he gains.

It's just that with the arrival of an urgent letter from Lujiang County, Yangzhou, Fu Quan changed his mind after thinking about it again and again, and decided to lead troops to Yangzhou to support.

The letter was written by Lu Kang, the newly appointed Taishou of Lujiang by the imperial court, who had just entered the Lujiang Pastoral Place, and there were not many soldiers and horses under his command, and he was in urgent need of rescue. It is said that Lu Kang is also unlucky, after he came to Lujiang, soon Zhishu County, Lujiang County was besieged and attacked by the traitor Huang Sui with the rebels, and Lu Kang, who did not have many defenders in the county, naturally needed to recruit troops everywhere for help to fight the rebels.

Naturally, Fuquan, an elite soldier from Yizhou, became the first choice in Lu Kang's eyes, and there was still a lot of relationship between him and Fuquan.

However, since it was decided to rush to the aid of Yangzhou, then Fuquan could no longer dominate the county seat of Exian County, after all, he himself had few troops, and this time he would definitely have to take away most of the soldiers and horses, and the remaining soldiers in the two counties must be less than 1,000 people, and most of them were wounded soldiers. Although in peacetime, it is okay to leave hundreds of remnants of the wounded soldiers in each of these two counties, but Fuquan has just offended the Jingzhou soldiers, and it is difficult to guarantee that after he leaves, the two armies around Exian will not leave any unpleasantness.

After all, now in the hands of the Jingzhou rebels, they still control this county and Xiyang County, and the county is in the southeast of Exian County, and the two counties are close to each other, so it can be said that without Exian County, it is very difficult for Zhao Kai to conquer Yixian County. Because Exian is in the Jingzhou battle situation at this moment, in the words of later generations, it is to attack the soldiers' weapons transfer station and the big granary in Yixian, and Zhao Kai will not be able to get Exian, it will undoubtedly be difficult to conquer Yixian.

In the northeast of Xiling County, Jiangxia's rebels were able to crush Jiangxia County, so that Jiangxia soldiers did not dare to move, in addition to the rebels' good combat effectiveness, the other was because the rebels occupied the important place of Yi County.

Because Yi County is also a soldier and weapon transfer station and a large granary for the rebels to attack Xiling County, with Yi County, the rebels can provide a steady stream of soldiers, grain and grass, which is also the reason why the situation in Jiangxia has been repeatedly endangered, and the county office cannot even support the attacked counties. After all, the county soldiers should take the defense of the county as the first priority, if the county is conquered, it will not help to rescue other counties, and the Han court will not be guilty of their crimes because they have guarded other counties, and the county rule of Xiling County is broken.

Compared with the fact that Xiling County, the county was breached by the rebels, there was no doubt that for the high-ranking civil and military officials of the county office, it was more beneficial for them to break the other counties of the county office. After all, if the latter is to find a reason, such as not planning to rescue at all, and report that the rebels are strong and the rescue is not timely, the official language can be punished lightly, or even not punished at all. On the contrary, it is impossible to say that they will be punished and imprisoned for this, after all, the county governance is the face and foundation of a county, and they can't even keep the face and foundation, and they are undoubtedly waste in the eyes of the princes of the court.

For Zhao Kai, who was entrusted by the Han court to lead troops to quell the rebellion, if he could not eliminate the traitors in Jiangxia County and recover the lost territory, then he would undoubtedly have done it. Originally, Fuquan captured the county seat of Exian County, but did not allow the Jingzhou army to enter the city, which had made this eunuch protégé even more disgusted with him, but Fuquan was also a Han army after all, and he came to help him quell the chaos, so Zhao Kai couldn't force it, even if he was still stationed outside the county seat of Exian County, he didn't dare to make any serious moves against Fuquan's Yizhou army.

And now, if Fuquan leads his troops away from Jingzhou to reinforce Yangzhou, but still occupies the county seat of Exian County and does not let Zhao Kai control it, then there is no doubt that this has touched Zhao Kai's taboo, because without Exian County, it will be difficult for Zhao Kai to conquer Yi County. As for letting him lead his troops to detour Jiangxia County to govern Xiling County, and then go northeast from Xiling County to conquer Yi County, it makes sense, but in reality it is also impossible, after all, compared to directly conquering Yi County from Exian County, the detour to Xiling is undoubtedly a few times more roads, and Fuquan does not have a big face to make Zhao Kai, the assassin of Jingzhou, "take a detour".

Therefore, it can be seen that once Fuquan leaves Jingzhou and still occupies the county seat of Exian County that he conquers, Zhao Kai has every reason to take the county seat of Exian County, and may even use force, after all, he can give Yizhou Bing'an, who relies on the county seat not to recover the lost territory, a name of "cowardice", and Zhao Kai can forcibly take over the county seat of Exian by force.

In the end, in order to avoid accidents, Fu Quan made a decision to leave an empty city directly to Zhao Kai, anyway, the good news has been sent, and Exian County has already been "cleaned up" by his own subordinates, so Zhao Kai can only get an empty city as a springboard for him to recover the other two county towns in Jingzhou in the hands of the rebels.

Then he ordered the army to select the wounded soldiers who needed to recuperate, and then sent a team of soldiers, and ordered them to take the wounded soldiers in the army and the camp prostitutes and other materials to Qichun County to rest, where Gan Ning was in charge, and it was not a big problem. On the side of the Jingzhou army, Zhao Kai did not make any other indications after learning that Fuquan was going to Yangzhou far away from Jingzhou and leaving the county seat of Exian County, but just sent a thousand stone of grain and straw as military resources, and then assembled the whole army in Exian County, making it look like the army was going to attack Yixian in the southeast.

Others may not be able to see the deep meaning, but Fu Quan knows that this is Zhao Kai's "kindness" to himself, and the meaning is obvious, as long as he is not here to make trouble with him, he will not have any thoughts about his resting rebel army and Qichun County, the "lost land" of Jingzhou.

Fu Quan was naturally extremely satisfied with this, and it was obvious that because of his helpless "knowledge", this Jingzhou assassin was in a hurry to conquer Yi County, and temporarily put himself and his unhappiness aside. After all, compared with his own exploits in Lianke County, the guest army of Yizhou, Zhao Kai's side, as the main army of Jingzhou, in the case of the number of soldiers being several times that of himself, actually "did not have an inch of merit", there is no doubt that Zhao Kai will not do something practical, the news will reach the imperial court, if it causes the emperor's anger, even Zhao Zhong behind him may not be able to cover him.

More than 3,000 Han troops went out of the boundary of Jiangxia County in Jingzhou, entered Lujiang County in Yangzhou, marched all the way east along Dabie Mountain, and went straight to Zhishu County, Lujiang County. There, according to Lu Kang's letters, it should be that he should be fighting to the death with Huang Sui's tens of thousands of troops.

Dabie Mountain, this name has existed since ancient times, according to the origin of its name is no longer available. Only in "Shangshu Yu Gong" there is a saying, "Guide the mound, as for Jingshan; Inside, as for the big farewell...... The mound guides Yang, the east flows for the Han, and the east, for the water of the waves, through the three rivers, as for the big bie, the south enters the river", the "big bie" mentioned here refers to the Dabie Mountain.

The Yu Gong is an ancient geographical encyclopedia that includes mountains, rivers, soils, fields, products, roads, and tribes. Of course, the name of this book is not really as its name, it is the founding monarch of the Xia Dynasty who can control the flood Yu, and its book is written by the Wei people in the Warring States Period named Dayu, and later it is handed down to the world with the name of "Yu Gong". The original idea of the person who wrote this "Yu Gong" was only that after the situation of the princes was unified at that time, he hoped that his plan for governing the country would be appreciated by the rulers, so he just used his name.

The Han army passed through the foot of a mountain in the stretching mountain range of Dabie Mountain, Fuquan rode a horse and stopped, looking up at the famous Dabie Mountain in later generations, the peaks are majestic, the rocks are piercing through the air, the trees are high and the forest is deep, a few white clouds wander on the mountainside, and the faint mist wraps the prodigy mountain up and down more and more thickly, Cui Wei. Thinking of the significance of Dabie Mountain to the Celestial Empire in later generations, Fuquan couldn't help but be indifferent, who would have thought that it was this bitter cold place, but in the end it opened the prelude to the Celestial Empire's victory.

When Fuquan was looking up at the majesty of Dabie Mountain, he didn't know that on Dabie Mountain at this time, there were countless figures with red eyes as if looking at the dead, staring at the Han army under Dabie Mountain.

After getting the soldiers and horses led by Fuquan to help Lujiang, they got Huang Sui's order to set up an ambush in Dabie Mountain, the only way for the soldiers and horses led by Fuquan that they detected, and they also blamed Fuquan for being careless, thinking that the rebels were staring at Zhishu County in Lujiang County, so that in order to catch up with the speed of the march, there were no more scouts along the road, which led to his Han army having entered the ambush circle of the rebels.

"Qu Shuai, don't miss the opportunity, subdue it quickly." Qin Chuan, who was behind Ma Hu, saw that the Han army had already left Dabie Mountain. urged Ma Hu again and again.

Since Qin Chuan escaped to Huang Sui's side, this time the ambush Huang Sui saw that Qin Chuan had good knowledge, so he still sent him to assist Ma Hu, and even chose to ambush at the foot of Dabie Mountain, which was also Qin Chuan's suggestion, his reason was that the Han army came to help from afar, and he would not deliberately pay attention, as long as he covered up his tracks a little, he would be able to attack him unprepared, and this is exactly the case, and Fuquan at this moment was undoubtedly in his way.

"Hmm!" Ma Hu nodded in response, and then stared at the long dragon of the Han army under the mountain, a trace of hideousness flashed in the eyes of this barbarian, and then raised the sledgehammer in his hand.

"Kill!"

With the obviously irregular swing of the flag of the rebel herald, the rebels, who had long been ready to roll the wood, kept throwing the ambush weapons in their hands towards the Han army below the mountain at this moment.

"Bang! Bang! Bang......"

In an instant, I saw countless thick logs of different sizes and hard and huge boulders suddenly rolling down from the mountain, attacking the Han army that was passing through the foot of the mountain.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

……

In just a few moments, many soldiers of the Han army near the foot of the mountain were annihilated by these rolling logs and stones, and let out countless roars that they did not dare to hear. Perhaps in the hearts of these brave barbarians, these elites should have died face to face at the enemy's sword, not under the enemy's tricks.

"Pilot! Drive! Harnessing ......"

A random rolling log on the mountain went straight to Fuquan, and the war horse under the crotch obviously felt the danger, and crossed the hooves of the front foot, and had the tendency to run around, knowing that if he let his horse usurp at this time, he might also be hit by this "endless" rolling wood and stone, so as to send him to death, Fuquan hurriedly shouted to stop the horse.

"Prince, beware!"

Seeing this, Guan Yu, who was not far away, hurriedly reminded, and at the same time rode a horse to come, brandished a long knife, and slashed the log, "bang", the log changed its position, which also quieted the frightened horse under Fuquan's crotch.

Just as Fu Quan was about to thank Guan Yu and discuss what to do and how to deal with it, the mountain suddenly shouted a big earthquake, as if people understood that the Han army should have been ambushed at this moment.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ……”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Suddenly, the war drums thundered, the sound of shouting and killing soared to the sky, and countless rebels and thieves with uneven clothes and armor rushed all over the mountains and fields, and the hairstyles and clothes were also different.
