Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang glanced at each other, they could almost guess that Jin Liang wanted to surround and destroy the ugly 30,000 horses, if they could really surrender to Jin Liang, they would naturally willingly send this false information to Chou, but after all, the families of the two were in Xiangyang, if they surrendered to Jin Liang, their families would definitely be eliminated by Yuan Shao, this time the two brothers were sent by Jin Liang to the ugly place, that is, the fish was decoupled, there was no need to work for Jin Liang anymore, so he told Wen Chou the truth and asked him not to come here to die, Even if the lord Yuan Shao dies in the big valley, there is still the young lord Yuan Tan who can assist

Jin Liang's eyes were like lightning, and he could see that the expressions of these two people were strange, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry about your family, you two, I have installed a lot of fine works in Xiangyang City, and I will let those fine works quietly bring the direct family members of the two of you to Luoyang, the two of you have no worries, you can serve the Central Army wholeheartedly Lu Kuang's leg was injured, and he was not good at it, so he stayed in the army to recuperate, and I bothered Lu Xiang that you ran a trip, remember, you must bring the ugly on that road, and then you will be able to evacuate in time" To be continued If you like this work, You are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation.

After Jin Liang's words, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were terrified, knowing that Jin Liang was not at ease with him, not only let the fine work in Xiangyang City control his immediate family, but also put Lu Kuang in the army, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang did not dare to have any strange thoughts. Lü Kuang stayed in the Jin Liang army, guarded by Dian Wei's halberd soldiers, Lü Xiang made himself even more embarrassed, his body was full of splashed bloodstains, and it seemed that he had experienced a tragic battle, Lü Xiang took Yuan Shao's seal letter, rode his horse and whipped, and went straight to Xu County, Yingchuan County, where Wen Chou was located.

Wen Chou heard Lu Xiang say that Yuan Shao's army was defeated and surrounded in Dagu, he thought that Lu Xiang was joking, when he listened to Yuan Shao's entire defeat process, especially when he heard that Jin Liang personally commanded 30,000 cavalry to kill, Wen Chou had to admit that his lord Yuan Shao was not unjustly defeated this time.

Wen Chou and his righteous brother Yan Liang followed Yuan Shao for many years, and was Yuan Shao's loyal dog, knowing that Yuan Shao was trapped, such as mourning, he quickly sent people to gather all the 30,000 horses scattered in Runan County, Chen County, and Yingchuan County, and rushed to the direction of Dagu Pass for reinforcements.

Some generals persuaded Wen Chou to leave some men to prevent the thieves Kou Wei Yan who was active in Runan County and Huang Gai who was active in Yingchuan County to take advantage of the situation to intrude on the county seats, Wen Chou yelled angrily: "If the lord is not there, what is the use of guarding these cities? ”

The general saw that Wen Chou was so excited, so he didn't dare to persuade him again, Wen Chou poured all the horses, and the only ones left to guard the county town were the county soldiers hurriedly put together by the local family.

These county soldiers are all hastily gathered farmers, whether in terms of equipment, training or discipline, they are not even as good as the township soldiers in Jinliang's jurisdiction, and they are simply unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the county and county seats. But Wen Chou learned that the lord was besieged by Jin Liang and had no master, so he didn't care about these things at all.

Jin Liang saw Lu Xiang patting his horse and leaving, so he gave the order and said, "General Ben will lead 20,000 elite cavalry to snipe Wen Chou. The remaining cavalry was handed over to Zhao Yun and Lü Peng to command, and the infantry under the command of Zhu Jun cleared the battlefield and blocked the northern road of Datani. In case Yuan Shao's Jingzhou army fled from the north road. Wu Anguo led 4,000 infantry to stay at Dagu Pass, and Hao Zhao led 8,000 crossbowmen to ride horses with me to snipe Wen Chou. ”

Jin Liang, together with his generals Dian Wei, Cao Xing, and Pan Feng, led 20,000 elite cavalry, retreated to Dagu Pass, and Hao Zhao's 8,000 crossbowmen converged, and went straight to Yuyuan Pass from the official road between Dagu Pass and Luoyang.

Yuyuan Pass is at the junction of Yanshi and Dengfeng, between Taimur Mountain and Shaomuro Mountain. The road is dangerous, there are 12 curves, the loop is circling, it will go to return, so it is called Yuyuan Pass, it is the shortcut to Xu, Chen from Luoyang.

Jin Liang led 20,000 cavalry to rest at Yuyuan Pass for three days, and waited for the scouts in front to find that Wen Chou's men and horses were fifty miles away from the main road in front of Yuyuan Pass. Jin Liang set off and led 20,000 cavalry and 8,000 crossbowmen to ambush on both sides of Shannan Road leading to Luoyang in Yingchuan County.

There are two main roads from Luoyang to Yingchuan, one of which passes through Yuyuan Pass, which is mostly a mountain road, rugged and difficult to travel. There are quite a lot of mountains and forests, so few people pass from there, the other road is a road thirty miles away in front of Yuyuan Pass, from Yingchuan County bypass to Dagu Pass, this road is at the southern foot of Songshan Mountain, also known as Shannan Road, Shannan Road is relatively flat and wide, so Yingchuan, Runan side go to Luoyang to take Shannan Road.

Lu Xiang took Wen Chou to walk on Shannan Road, Wen Chou was worried about the safety of the lord Yuan Shao, seeing that the road was smooth and wide, he urged his corporal to hurry up, from Yingchuan County Xu County to this place called Elingkou, two hundred miles apart, Wen Chou's 30,000 soldiers are mostly infantry, relying on two legs, walking for two days and two nights, the rest time along the way adds up to less than four hours, the soldiers are tired, quite complained, Wen Chou and Zhang Fei's temperament is very similar, never know how to sympathize with the hard work of the soldiers, there are those who dare to complain loudly, Wen Chou slashed with a knife, so that the soldiers below dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and those generals were afraid of Wen Chou's irritability, and they did not dare to persuade more.

Wen Chou's 30,000 soldiers walked to the mouth of the Eling in exhaustion and resentment, the mouth of the Eling Mountains sandwiched between two mountains and a ditch, although the mountains on both sides are lush with vegetation, but very gentle, it seems that there can be no ambush, Lu Xiang still pretended to be cautious, stepped forward and said to Wen Chou: "General Wen, the last general will go to investigate and see if there are any ambushes here." ”

Wen Chou glanced at the terrain near the Eling Mountains, waved his hand disdainfully and smiled: "Jin Liang's brigade is all in Dagu Pass, how could they come here to ambush us, and besides, this place is not suitable for ambushes." ”

Lu Xiang secretly laughed in his heart, Wen Chou, don't you know that there is a strong team of engineers in Jin Liang's army, and they can transform any unfavorable terrain into a terrain suitable for their own tactics, Lu Xiang shook his head lightly and said: "General Wen, the last general still thinks that there is no big difference in being careful." ”

Because Lu Xiang was a general directly under Yuan Shao and not directly subordinate to Wen Chou, Wen Chou didn't want to offend him, so he waved his hand and said, "If you are idle and bored, then go and explore." ”

Lu Xiang led hundreds of people to rush to the front, pretending to be careful to investigate, and after checking for two hours, he did not find any suspicious places, so he sent someone to spread the news that there was no ambush here, and he could pass with confidence.

Wen Chou smiled contemptuously and said: "This Lu Xiang has followed the lord for many years, and his courage is still so small. ”

Wen Chou raised his big knife and signaled his men and horses to pass through the Eling Pass quickly.

The valley of the Elingkou stretches for more than ten miles, and all the soldiers and horses of Wen Chou's soldiers and horses have entered the Elingkou, and the former soldiers and horses have not yet walked out of the Elingkou.

Just when all the horses and horses of Wenchou's rear army entered the mouth of the Eling, there was a loud noise at the entrance of the mouth of the Elingkou, and more than a dozen thick trees that were originally standing on the hillside rolled down at the entrance with the loud noise.

Accompanied by the loud sound was the crossbowmen on the mountains on both sides, they were hiding in the fortifications dug by the sappers just now, the periphery of the fortifications was covered with pine and cypress branches and grass leaves, and it seemed that there was no flaw, Hao Zhao led the eight thousand crossbowmen, and with an order, ten thousand arrows were in unison.

Wen Chou originally thought that there could be no ambush in this place, and Lu Xiang reported that there was no ambush after reconnaissance, so Wen Chou did not take any precautions at all, those sword and shield soldiers were exhausted after a day's journey, and they did not hold the heavy shield in their hands at all, but on their backs, and some soldiers even took off their armor and threw them on the baggage carriage, so that the defenseless state was suddenly attacked by random arrows, and there was a big chaos.

Wen Chou brandished the big knife and flew the arrow feathers that shot over, and asked the soldiers around him sharply: "Where is Lu Xiang, didn't he say that there was no ambush?" ”

The soldiers around him hurriedly ran forward with their shields and asked about Lu Xiang's whereabouts, and after a while, a report was reported from the front that Lu Xiang did not know his whereabouts.

Wen Chou was furious and scolded hatefully: "Lu Xiang, the dog thief, must have surrendered Jin Liang at Dagu Pass, and specially lured us into this ambush circle, no wonder his inseparable twin brother Lu Kuang did not appear." ”

Hao Zhao led the 8,000 crossbowmen with the newly developed strong bows and crossbows of the Ordnance Department of the Central Army, and the bows and crossbows were all able to be connected, plus the strict training of the three rows of crossbows that made perfect, "one row of crossbows, one row of crossbows, one row of crossbows", and the crossbow and arrow company, like a storm, poured on the head of Yuan Jun.

Wen Chou desperately waved the big knife to dial the crossbow arrows that shot hard, because the crossbow arrows were too dense, he protected his body but could not protect the war horse, after a while, the crotch of the war horse hit a few crossbow arrows, and fell to the ground with a bang, Wen Chou turned over and fell to the ground, the knife was scattered, and he couldn't protect himself, but fortunately, the soldiers around him used a big shield to cover him, and Wen Chou did not become a hedgehog.

Wen Chou stood up, carried a big knife, and said in a trembling voice: "The enemy's arrows are too strong, stay in place, you will only be dead, there is no sound ahead, presumably there is no blockage ahead, then rush forward, rush forward!" ”

Wen Chou, under the protection of his own soldiers, rushed forward for a few miles, rushed to the exit of the Eling, only to be stunned, on the flat ground outside the exit, there were 20,000 central elite cavalry, they turned from the side of the mountain, it turned out that this is why the entrance is sealed but the exit is not blocked.

Thousands of Yuan Shao's infantry had fallen in front of the 20,000 central elite cavalry, and thousands of Yuan Shao's infantry had also knelt on both sides.

The 30,000 soldiers brought by Wen Chou, only 3,000 cavalry, and these 3,000 cavalry were easily shot by Hao Zhao's 8,000 crossbowmen because of the large target, and the remaining infantry were exhausted, and when they rushed out of the narrow exit, they faced 20,000 cavalry on the flat ground, and the valley mouth was narrow, and they could only rush out of hundreds of people at the same time but had to face the killing of thousands of cavalry, many Yuan soldiers were desperate and helpless, coupled with resentment towards Yuan Shao and Wen Chou, they simply threw down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and surrendered to the central army.

Wen Chou saw the tall horse like a fire dragon in the central army formation and the tall military general sitting upright like a god on the horse, he couldn't help but gasp and said: "Jin Liang actually went out in person!" ”

Wen Chou showed his head to look at Jin Liang, but he didn't expect that in a fortification high in the mountains, Hao Zhao aimed at Wen Chou with a crossbow inlaid with a clairvoyant mirror on it.

With his intuition of years of fighting, Wen Ugly felt a sharp cold wind rushing straight to his neck, he quickly dodged, Hao Zhao's crossbow arrow was on the shoulder of the Chinese ugly, Wen Ugly felt the sharp pain of the arrow, his right arm hung down weakly, the big knife could no longer be held, and he fell to the ground.

Wen Chou's pro-soldiers hurriedly used shields to protect Wen Chou, Wen Chou's heart was cold, he had fought Jin Liang with Yan Liang before but ended up in a fiasco, this time he was alone and injured, and he was not Jin Liang's opponent, maybe he couldn't even go together, for today's plan is to escape, the front is a dead end, and the back is a dead end, only to run up the mountain.

Surrounded by his own soldiers, Wen Chou climbed the gentle hillside and stormed the weakest point of the defense line on both sides of Hao Zhao, Hao Zhao only brought 8,000 crossbowmen, and it was impossible to defend all the slopes of more than ten miles

The slopes on both sides seemed gentle, but they were densely covered with traps, and those soldiers of the Yuan army who followed Wen Chou up the hill to escape from the mountain either fell into the pit or were incapacitated by the dense tribulus terrestris on the hillside, or they were fascinated by the sudden explosion of dust, or they were hit by the branches that suddenly fell next to them. \\\\ high-speed updates

Of course, those who tried to cross the mountain were most threatened, was the central army's 8,000 crossbowmen hiding in the fortifications dense arrows, these 8,000 crossbowmen followed Hao Zhao to defend the Kei Pass against Dong Zhuoxi Liang cavalry who attacked and disturbed the Kei Pass, after three years of strict training and frequent actual combat exercises, these 8,000 crossbowmen can simply do the arrows are not in vain, and each arrow feather can always hit the body of a Yuan army soldier.

However, compared with knives and guns, if the arrows do not hit the vital point, they will not kill people, but will only make people lose their ability to move and be forced to be captured, which is why Jin Lianglie's 20,000 cavalry did not charge at the valley mouth but sniped with bows and arrows.

A few days ago, Jin Liang opened a killing ring in front of Dagu Pass, and the stone dragon broadsword took the lives of seven or eight hundred people, Jin Liang regretted it afterwards, if these people were shot in the hands and feet with bows and arrows to surrender, the arrow wounds would be easy to heal, and after a while, they would be alive and free labor, and these seven or eight hundred people could create at least more than 20 million dollars a year, but Jin Liang thought about it, and Dagu Pass was to use such a massacre to crush the morale of Yuan Shao's army, forcing them to retreat and retreat to the ambush circle of Dagu.

And Jin Liang ambushed Wen Chou's 30,000 horses this time, there was no need to kill like this, 8,000 crossbowmen shot on both sides of the valley, and Jin Liang's 20,000 cavalry blocked the valley mouth and shot. At the same time, the arrival of Jin Liang's 28,000 men and horses also brought a clear signal to the Wenchou Ministry that their lord Yuan Shao was indeed defeated. Otherwise, Jin Liang would not have been able to bring so many men to ambush Wen Chou.

Wen Chou's 30,000 horses had been marching for three days and three nights under Wen Chou's irritable urging, and they were extremely tired, and now they were ambushed by Jin Liang. Awakening to the fact that Yuan Shao's 100,000 army had been defeated, the 30,000 soldiers of the Yuan army, who were physically and mentally exhausted and almost desperate, had no intention of fighting against Jin Liang again, and could not break through the exit surrounded by Jin Liang's 20,000 'elite' cavalry, and were trapped when climbing the hillside. For a while, he knelt on both sides of the road, waiting for the reorganization.

Only a few high-ranking generals such as Wen Chou escaped from the encirclement under the desperate protection of the pro-soldier guards, and these personnel together were less than 1,000 people, and Wen Chou's 30,000 horses could be regarded as the entire army.

Wen Chou turned over the hillside and went through twists and turns. Turned back to Yingchuan County, only to find that the large and small cities of Yingchuan County were occupied by the guerrilla regiment of Huang Gai, the commander of Yingchuan County, appointed by Jin Liang, and Wen Chou had to return to Xiangyang City with hatred.

After Huang Gai occupied these cities, he quickly mobilized the poor people below to form grassroots county soldiers to curb the local family soldiers.

At the same time, the large and small cities of Runan County were also occupied by the guerrilla regiments of Wei Yan, the lieutenant of Runan County, appointed by Jin Liang. After Wei Yan occupied these cities, he quickly mobilized the local poor people to form grassroots county and township soldiers to assist the guerrilla groups in defending the cities.

Because Wei Yan's guerrilla regiment was reorganized from the Yellow Turban in Runan, and its strength was relatively large, Wei Yan strictly obeyed Jin Liang's military order, and ordered the deputy general Liao Hua to lead the troops to take advantage of the empty strength of the Yuan army in Chen County, and occupied the large and small cities of Chen County, Liao Hua was appointed by Jin Liang as the lieutenant of Chen County, and Liao Hua referred to the system of the Central Army in Chen County, mobilized the grassroots masses, and formed county and township soldiers belonging to the grassroots masses, and all retired soldiers of the Central Army were officers and instructors of the county and township soldiers, and all the county and township soldiers were in the hands of the Central Army. Those big families who were about to move did not dare to move.

Jin Liang took advantage of the defeat of Yuan Shaowen and the ugly situation, and took advantage of the emptiness of the three counties of Yingchuan Chen County in Runan, quickly seized these three counties, and appointed Wei Yan as the general of Yuzhou, Huang Gai as the deputy general of Yuzhou, and formed a qualified Yuzhou Corps, while defending the three counties, actively dealt with Liu Biao, the assassin of Yuzhou, and continued to develop other counties.

Jin Liang's series of big moves this time caught Liu Biao off guard, and his Yuzhou now only has Liang and Pei, and most of the county soldiers in these two counties are still in the hands of King Liang and King Pei of the Liu Han clan, Liu Biao can mobilize less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and can only survive under the authority of the increasingly powerful Central Army Yuzhou Corps.

Because Wei Yan, Huang Gai, Liaohua, and Xinan County, Yingchuan County, and Chen County, and these three counties are full of families, and Runan County is Yuan Shao's hometown, if the Yuzhou Corps wants to gain a firm foothold, it will take at least half a year to rectify the place.

After Jin Liang defeated Wen Chou, the generals Cao 'Xing' and Hao Zhao led 2,000 cavalry and 8,000 crossbowmen to surrender and reorganize Yuan's army.

Wen Chou gathered 30,000 horses from Yingchuan County, Runan County, Chen County, and finally took less than 1,000 people and horses, and more than 3,000 people died on the spot.
