When Cao De arrived at the foot of Fucheng City, he was divided into six Yellow Turban Armies, and with the arrival of Ma Xiang, the five Yellow Turban Armies had been gathered here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is the last one left, and it hasn't arrived yet.

And Ma Xiang also showed the style of taking the lead after seeing these difficult brothers.

How are you doing these days, do you want me to give you some food? What about you, how much has your power expanded!

…………

And from the answers of the yellow turban leaders, Ma Xiang also got the respect that the leading brother deserved.

Everyone laughed and laughed, cheering and homely, how good. Cao De seems to see the scene after he also occupies the mountain after the failure of the hegemony.

After asking for warmth, Ma Xiang was going to ask seriously about the situation of the Yellow Turban Army that was late. At this time, someone happened to come to report that the Yellow Turban Army was coming.

Oh, all hands are here. Then let's get down to business.

Ma Xiang said, eldest brother, I take into account that our brothers are living in difficulty. Moreover, I received news that a stunned general in Hanzhong County in the north was going to send troops to fight us. After this second stunned man came, our brothers' lives were even more difficult. Therefore, I, Boss Ma, gathered all the brothers together again. Let's take advantage of the fact that the two stunned people haven't come yet, hurry up and make another profit, and if we have enough food for this year, let's stop it, hide in the mountains and let the two stunned people play by themselves.

Ma Xiang's words caused everyone to laugh. And Cao De stood behind Ma Xiang, but he couldn't laugh at all. Your sister, why am I stunned, if I tell you that the second stunned person you said is behind you, you will laugh at me again. Cao De's current identity is Ma Xiang's military advisor.

Ma Xiang smiled and smiled, a little carried away. Yes, 60,000 or 70,000 people in command is quite a feat. But Ma Xiang smiled and turned his head to see Cao De's unkind face. Ma Xiang only cared about his own comfort, but forgot that the person who was still standing behind him was the stunned general. If Ma Xiang knew that that person was what he called a dumbfounder, how would he react. I think it's likely that Cao De will be chopped in half with a knife, I have offended you, will you give me good fruit to eat in the future.

Of course, it is impossible for Cao De to show his identity at this time, even if he is forced to do so, he can't show his identity. They are bandits, I am an official, and officials and bandits have been inseparable since ancient times. What's more, I, the official, have sent an army of 30,000 to kill you bandits. If you know my identity, it's a good thing that I'm killed, and if you cook and eat it, it's a lot of fun.

Although Ma Xiang and Cao De were embarrassed for a while, it did not affect the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army who were excited to hear that they could rob.

Of course, Ma Xiang's proposal to attack the city at this time and plunder food and other materials was also Cao De's intention.

Originally, Cao De wanted to borrow the knife of the Yellow Turban Army to clean up the intricate family of Xiayizhou, so that it would be easier to implement Cao De's policy of dividing the land in Hanzhong after he took over Yizhou. But judging from the experimental effect in Zitong City, this will not work. The power of a people stimulated by blood is endless. If it doesn't work out, there will be only poor people left in Yizhou who can't read a single word.

If Cao De really did this, it would not be for the benefit of the people, but to cut off the culture of Yizhou. Although the family is hateful, it has to admit that the development of mankind is inseparable from the cultural knowledge mastered by the family.

However, Cao Delai is here, so he can't help but do something! So, Cao De began to prepare to use the Yellow Turban Army to build a territory for himself. By the way, accumulate prestige in these Yellow Turban Army, control the Yellow Turban Army of 60,000 or 70,000 people, and then come in handy at a critical moment. For surprise soldiers.

And so a lively but not fierce siege began. The attacking side was the 70,000 Yellow Turban Army, and the city was defended by a garrison of 500 old, weak, sick and disabled Han people.

A very unfair siege battle was soon over. At the beginning of the siege of the Yellow Turban Army, those big scholars in the city discussed with the county commander to open the city and surrender. But someone immediately said that this is the Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban Army that specializes in killing us. The bad things have been done, but the big families of the noble clan who have a lot of money are suddenly at a loss.

Kaesong surrendered to his own family property that he had accumulated with great difficulty, and it would definitely be robbed by the Yellow Turban robbers; If you defend the city and resist, after the city is broken, it will definitely be the same fate. What a good thing that is!

At this time, someone said: "I heard that the big families of the Shi clan on the other side of Zitong were killed by the Yellow Turban Army, and thousands of people died. I am afraid that after the city is broken, we will also be miserable. However, there is a reliable report that a large army has entered Shu in Hanzhong. As long as we hold out for a few days, there will be no army to come to the rescue. ”

So these people who have so much money that they can't afford to die begin to struggle for a glimmer of hope. Due to the lack of strength of the city defense army, they sent their families to the city one after another to help defend the city.

The struggle is futile, and the resistance is pointless. For the general they were looking forward to was opposite them, in the Yellow Turbans besieging the city.

There is no suspense, the city is broken, the people are dead, the money is gone, and then the Yellow Turban Army is gone!

This time, the Yellow Turbans did not loot the food and belongings of ordinary people. Because although Jia Xu was free of charge when he funded Ma Xiang before, there was still a small condition, that is, if he wanted to rob the big households, he must not rob ordinary people.

And Jia Xu also personally wrote a letter to Ma Xiang that moved him with affection and reason. Jia Xu wrote in the letter: Although our official army and the Yellow Turban Army have different concepts. But we are all children of the common people of the Han Dynasty, think about why you joined the Yellow Turban Army in the first place. Isn't it because of the oppression of the government and the powerful that I am hungry every day, and I can't bear it anymore and take up arms to resist. But Ma Xiang, look at the things you did when you were in the Central Plains. Looting the people and burning down the villages made it even worse for the poor people who were already struggling to make ends meet. I have to follow you and continue to plunder the people of the next village. What is the difference between this act and the oppression of your might? Do you need food, and the common people you plunder don't need food? The targets you want to kill and plunder should be those rich gentry who are unkind to the rich and do many evils. Ma Xiang, as long as you promise me that you will not rob ordinary people from now on, the materials of Hanzhong County will continue to be sent to you in vain.

As mentioned earlier, Ma Xiang is not a reckless person, after carefully reading the letter written by Jia Xu to himself. Ma Xiang also agreed. Immediately, Ma Xiang replied to Jia Xu with a definite, affirmative and certain answer. After that, Ma Xiang received assistance from Hanzhong. And when Ma Xiang began to fund the rest of the Yellow Turban Army, he also put forward corresponding requirements for them. In order to get food, they also nodded in agreement. As for whether it has been done or not, Ma Xiang does not know. But Ma Xiang knew that he had done it.

Cao De also learned about this matter only after Zhou Cang successfully persuaded Ma Xiang. Therefore, Cao De decided to take this opportunity to see how these Yellow Turban Army had changed compared to before.

The answer sheet handed over to Cao De by the Yellow Turban Army still made Cao De very satisfied. After all, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were the predecessors of ordinary and kind people who could not live, and they only rose up after they were cornered. Under the earnest teaching of the leaders who understood the righteousness, most of the Yellow Turban Army understood this truth. consciously let go of those poor people, even if someone will unconsciously violate the rules, they will also change their past under the angry gaze of the compatriots around them.

That's why the Yellow Turban Army has developed to such a scale in such a short period of time in Yizhou. Thus, they got rid of the name of the bandit army and became a real rebel army. Therefore, after the destruction of Fucheng City, there was no deserted scene for thousands of miles.

The Yellow Turban Army, led by Ma Xiang, left Fucheng and came to Mianzhu.

Mianzhu City is a small county town much smaller than Fucheng. Therefore, the army did not take much effort to break through the city, plunder the supplies, and continue to the south.

As the army marched, it passed through a very difficult section of the road. On both sides of the road are steep cliffs, and on the cliffs there is a lot of vegetation attached to the sea. Cao De looked at the dense jungle on both sides of the road, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he suddenly asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Ma Xiang, who was beside Cao De, thought for a while and said: "The name of the place here is Fengpo. Legend has it that ......"

When Cao De heard it, he fell into Fengpo! The shock in Cao De's heart at this time was beyond measure. Even the beautiful legend of this place that Ma Xiang said next did not hear.

Cao De stopped his pace and muttered, "Luofengpo, Luofengpo." This is Luofeng Slope! ”

Then, Cao De waved his hand violently, "The army stops advancing!" ”

When Ma Xiang heard this, he immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing. Then Ma Xiang asked, "Special envoy, what's wrong?" ”

Cao De looked up at the terrain again, pointed to both sides of the road and said, "Guanghan is not far ahead." General Pingxi's army was to be stationed in Guanghan. Our army built two lines of defense here in Luofengpo, and took advantage of this favorable terrain to block General Pingxi. ”

"Blocking General Pinxi? Special envoy, haven't we already surrendered to General Pingxi, why do we still want to stop General Pingxi's army? Ma Xiang asked puzzled.

Cao De didn't look at Ma Xiang, and said slowly: "The general needs your army to sing a play with his army." Okay, don't ask. Let's go and set it up. ”

After all, Ma Xiang was subject to this envoy, and when he saw that the envoy's face was not good, he didn't ask too much, and hurriedly went to arrange the arrangement of the defense line.

After the horse left, Zhang Fei came to Cao De and asked quietly, "Lord, what's wrong." ”

Cao De shook his head, "Get ready, let's leave here tonight and rush to Chengdu." Presumably Liu Yan's old boy is about to arrive in Chengdu. ”

After Zhang Fei heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, and turned around to prepare.

Cao De jumped off the horse and walked quietly on the road of Luofengpo, thinking about the death of Pang Tong in the original history.

Pang Tong passed through this place with a large army, saw that the terrain on both sides of the road was dangerous, and asked the name of the place curiously, and then learned that this place was called Luofengpo. Pang Tong was then killed by the indiscriminate arrows of the enemy troops lying in ambush on both sides of the road.

Regarding Pang Tong's death, there are two theories that are the most popular in later generations. The first is to say that Pang Tong died deliberately in order to let Liu Bei occupy Yizhou with peace of mind. Let's not talk about Liu Bei, just Liu Bei first rejected Xuzhou many times, and then rejected Jingzhou sent by Liu Biao. Later, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong both suggested that Liu Bei take advantage of Liu Zhang's invitation to enter Shu to take Yizhou, but Liu Bei also refused. It can be seen that Liu Bei is a person who does not like to take advantage of opportunities. Therefore, Pang Tong deliberately died in Luofengpo. So that Liu Bei occupied Yizhou in order to avenge himself.

The second is to say that Pang Tong saw that there was an ambush in Luofengpo ahead. Their target must be Liu Bei, who is riding a white horse. So Pang Tong deliberately said that his horse was too old to ride, I think the general your Liu Bei's horse is good, let's change it. Liu Bei is a representative of Corporal Lixian. Since Xiaofeng asked himself like this, let's meet him. So Liu Bei forcibly suppressed the anger of his subordinates and gave up his horse to Pang Tong. Then Pang Tong rode Liu Bei's horse and walked in front with a big grin. Then he was killed by the ambush soldiers who recognized the wrong person. This is a suicide chosen for the sake of the Savior.

Wherever you look at it, the ambush is the first element present in both accounts. Since Pang Tong did not choose to kill the ambush soldiers, but risked his life, it shows that Luofengpo is a place that is conducive to arranging ambushes, but it is not conducive to counterattacking ambushes. Therefore, Cao De wants to set up a checkpoint here to prepare for the future.

The Yellow Turban Army was stationed at Luofengpo. And the matter of setting up the level is also underway. Cao De found Ma Xiang again and said to Ma Xiang: "We need to return to General Pingxi's account." After we leave, you should hurry up and use the terrain here in Luofeng Slope to build two strong checkpoints, at least to ensure that they can be used in five years. After the checkpoint has been built and you have left enough men to guard it, the army will return to Mianzhu. Be prepared for a long-term stay in Mianzhu. After a few days, General Pingxi's army will come to Guanghan. The next move, General Pingxi will give instructions again, and it may be your grandfather Zhou who comes, or it may be me. You can just wait in peace. ”

After hearing this, Ma Xiang hurriedly agreed.

Cao De was still a little uneasy, and instructed: "Remember, the army must not breed trouble. Before the arrival of General Pingxi's army, the army must not step south of Luofengpo. As long as you don't set foot on Luofeng Slope, General Pingxi can ensure that no officers and troops will come to encircle and suppress you. If you dare to touch the general's bottom line, don't blame the general for not being merciful, 30,000 Hanzhong sons and daughters will definitely kill you without leaving a piece of armor. Remember, remember. ”

When Cao De said the last four words, "No piece of armor is left", his eyes showed a fierce light, and his momentum was very compelling. Ma Xiang, who was talking face-to-face with Cao De, suddenly felt that the envoy in front of him, who had always been very easy-going, turned out to be a demon from hell. Ma Xiang shuddered. hurriedly responded to the promise, and said: "Obey General Pingxi's orders, and never step out of Luofengpo." Never! ”

Cao De then turned around and walked towards Zhang Fei and the others who were already ready. After Cao De jumped on the horse, he suddenly remembered another thing, so Cao De called Ma Xiang over, "As for the fact that your department has surrendered to my general Pingxi, don't tell the rest of the leaders for the time being, the general has his own decision at this time." Don't talk too much! ”

Ma Xiang hurriedly responded to the promise again, and Cao Decai grabbed the horse's belly and galloped away with Zhang Fei and the five guards.

After Cao De left, Ma Xiang looked at Cao De's back, and he didn't know what he was thinking. It wasn't until the other five leaders of the Yellow Turban Army walked up to Ma Xiang's side that Ma Xiang came back to his senses. The leaders saw Ma Xiang's unrelenting appearance, and hurriedly asked Ma Xiang what happened, Ma Xiang smiled slightly, but it was more ugly than crying, and said, "Brother will give you a big surprise in a few days." ”

Then, Ma Xiang turned and left. Five people were left messy in the wind! (To be continued.) )
