Yu Fuluo has been happy and puzzled these days.

Happily, a bunch of pies suddenly fell down from the sky, solving the urgent move. What I am puzzled about is that He Chen, the new governor of the state, wants to give himself these things for no reason. I wonder if there is some conspiracy in between? The Han people are very comfortable with this.

Walking out of the yurt, more than ten tents were guarded around each other, except for a few old people in the clan who were there to repair winter clothes, it was deserted and empty. But the noble people of the steppe, the eagle-like men, had to slaughter their most beloved horses, and go to the mountains in search of the bitter roots, so that they could sustain every need. If this continues, how can we survive the cold winter of ice and snow flying in the northwest?

Yu Fuluo stood there quietly, letting the cold northwest wind howl over his weather-beaten face, he was not confused, but he was like an old man in a sixtieth year, and he had no ambition and ambition a few years ago, like a hero in the twilight, and a beautiful woman. His cloudy eyes stared blankly to the north, into the depths of the grassland, which was his most beautiful hometown.

In Fuluo, the number was held to the corpse of Hou Shan Yu, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was the son of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Qiangqu, the brother of Hu Chuquan, and the father of Liu Bao. In 187, in order to crusade against Zhang Chun and Xianbei, the Eastern Han Dynasty transferred troops to the Xiongnu, and Qiangqu sent Zuoxian Wang to send troops. In 188 of the following year, a coup d'état occurred in the Southern Xiongnu, Qiangqu was killed, and the Marquis of Xubu Gudu was established as Shan Yu, so Yu Fuluo led the people to Han to complain about their grievances, and then stayed in Han land. Yu Fuluo wanted to return to his hometown several times, but he was not allowed by the Han court. After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Yu Fuluo took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and invaded Taiyuan, Hanoi and other places with the White Wave Thieves. In 190, the princes of the Eighteenth Route begged Dong Zhuo, and Yu Fuluo relied on Yuan Shao like Zhang Yang, the assassin of Bingzhou, and stationed troops in Zhangshui. After civil strife with the princes, the coalition army fell apart, due to the difficulty of grain and grass, and Yuan Shao fell out, Yu Fuluo once again led tens of thousands of Hun cavalry, back to his old job, and settled in Pingyang and Hexi.

It's just that robbers and bandits are not easy to be now, ten times they went on expeditions, and nine times they returned empty-handed.

The material He Chen promised was indeed carbon in the snow, which allowed his people to survive this difficult winter. As for what intrigues are hidden in the other party, hmph, how can a person with two legs of them outrun a four-legged healthy horse? Thinking of this time, Yu Fuluo's spirit was a little more perked, and he couldn't help but start looking forward to the supplies, grain and grass that the Han envoy Deng Zhi said, according to the meaning of his words, it should not take ten years to arrive, right?

It is said that the three hundred truckloads of supplies escorted by Zhang Liao slowly moved towards Hexi County. Along the way, he did not hide his whereabouts, so he went on the road unscrupulously and without scruples.

The five hundred soldiers led by Xu Huang disguised themselves as ordinary people and scattered in all directions.

Soon, a few days after the convoy left Hyun's clan, the clever Zhang Liao found that there were many suspicious and sneaky characters hanging far behind. And the more you set, the more you collect.

The fish are starting to take the bait!

When I arrived at Tonglu (now Qin County), I waited for the report to come, and I had found several groups of people, ranging from hundreds to thousands.

Zhang Liao was secretly frightened, this white wave thief was really powerful, no wonder he was able to conquer the heavily guarded county town one after another. This is just a few of the peripheral forces, if the main force comes, I am afraid that I can only scatter the birds and beasts and flee in embarrassment.

Two more days passed.

This is said that Zhang Liao is out of Xia Twenty Town. After walking for a long time, he realized that something was wrong, and stretched out his hand casually to signal the convoy to stop.

In front of it is a long, narrow canyon, on one side of which is a knife cut mountain wall, rising from the ground for thousands of meters, like a round mirror edge smooth, almost no grass; On the other side is the slope of the dense forest, although it is already Mengdong, but the lush forest vegetation has no signs of yellowing, the sky is dense and impermeable, and it is easy to hide soldiers.

Zhang Liao looked at the silence of the mountains and forests, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Half an hour ago, there was a gentle cry on the edge of the woods on the roadside path, how could it be that when you arrived in this dense forest, it was so silent? When the sword soldiers enter the forest, the forest birds will inevitably fly away. If your guess is correct, I'm afraid that there are ambushes here. It is estimated that they have almost touched themselves, and they chose to start here, intending to get a vote.

It seems that the White Wave Army is not as vulnerable as he thinks. The leader of the other party is also a character, but he chose a good place. Once the robbery fails, they drill into the forest, with their familiarity with this terrain, they are afraid that it will be like a dragon returning to the sea and a tiger entering the mountains and forests, and no one can do anything about it.

"Formation." Zhang Liao didn't hesitate, and said coldly.

With Zhang Liao's order, the well-trained soldiers quickly arranged the three hundred vehicles into a long square defensive line and put them on the outside, and the soldiers were all hiding in it. Seeing that they are so proficient in their movements, it is obvious that they have not practiced this car shape in ordinary times.

Suddenly, three cannon shots rang out in the forest. Then a shout as thick as a bell shouted: "Brothers, rush." ”

"Rush." The next moment, some chaotic rushing and killing sounds suddenly resounded through the valley, the drums shook the sky, the flags were dense, and countless soldiers rushed out of the forest.

The enemy army grew more and more, and in the end it was like locusts leaving the country, spreading all over the mountains and fields, with almost no end in sight, and the number was incomparably huge.

Zhang Liao's heart sank, and according to the posture, it was estimated that there were at least 10,000 or 20,000 horses, which was several times his own. These soldiers looked disheveled, some were dressed in the clothes of the government soldiers, and some were dressed as ordinary people, which looked messy; Even the weapons are varied, about half of them are standard weapons, and the rest of the sticks, sticks, hoes, nail rakes, and even Zhang Liao saw a few rusty kitchen knives, mottled in the sun. But without exception, they are wrapped with uniform white belts on their heads and hands, which should be the origin of the White Polish Army.

Zhang Liao's face was pale, and he immediately crossed the halberd, and shouted loudly: "Prepare for battle." ”

Although the number of enemies is several times that of his own, and the momentum created by the miscellaneous army is extremely amazing, but when he charges, there is a mess, and there is no order at all, where is Nanyang's battle-hardened soldier opponent, although Zhang Liao did not underestimate the enemy, but he really didn't take them to heart, if it wasn't for He Chen's order.

…… At this time, He Chen had already led the rest of the men and horses into Shangdang County.

Shangdang was too guarded, originally a black mountain thief, and then Zhang Yan offered a letter to enter the court, and because of his heavy ministry, he was shown as the Shangdang Taishou and belonged to Zhang Yang's men. This guy obviously didn't know that the good story was over, and he relied on Zhang Yan's inextricable relationship, and he was extremely rude to He Chen, the Xinzhou pastor, and only cared about drinking and having fun at home, and didn't go to see him at all.

He Chen didn't mind, he just kept things in mind secretly, and waited for the queen to settle accounts together.

The first thing He Chen did after he arrived at the party, but let Lou Gui and Lu Chang lead a thousand men and horses respectively, take their own state Muyu seal documents, and rush to Huguan and Fukou in the starry night.

The state occupies a pivotal position in the entire northern region. Gu Zuyu said when discussing the situation in Shanxi: "The situation in Shanxi (and Zhou) is the most complete. "The status of the state is due to its high terrain overlooking three sides between Guanzhong, Sili and Hebei. Outside, there are Taihang Mountain, Luliang Mountain, Wangwu, Xicheng, Zhongtiao and other mountains to form its outer barrier, and there is the Yellow River in the west; There are Heng Mountain, Wutai Mountain, Guanshui Mountain, Taiyue Mountain, Yunzhong Mountain and other mountains staggered distribution, constituting its inner circle danger; Rivers such as the Fen River, the Zhanghe River, the Hutuo River, and the Sanggan River flow radially in different directions. In the east and south of Bingzhou, the Taihang Mountains stretch for thousands of miles. Due to the cutting of the river, some traffic channels have been formed, the most important of which is the historical so-called Taihang Bacheng.

Fukou is also known as Fukou.

The caliber of Fu is based on the Fu Mountain in the north, the Shenlu Mountain in the south, the two mountains are sandwiched, forming a long and narrow passage of about 100 meters long and only 100 meters wide, it is the main road of Handan, Wei County and Yexi in Hebei Province, and its important position is self-evident. During the Warring States Period, the dispute between Qin and Zhao, the caliber of Fu was the rear grain route of the Zhao army and the population of the Qin army's eastward advance. In that year, the 400,000 troops of Zhao State marched from Handan to the west through Fukou, but the whole army was wiped out in the Battle of Changping, and no one survived. The important reason for the defeat of the Zhao army, aside from the famous "paper talk" in history, was that it lost the strategic passage of Gushan Fukou, and at the critical juncture of the war, the grain route in the rear of the Zhao army was cut off by the Qin army. As a result, the supply was insufficient, and finally 400,000 troops were killed by Bai Qikeng, and the state of Zhao was weakened.

If it is said that the caliber of Fu is the first line of defense and the front position of Handan and Yecheng, then Huguan is the second defense chain stuck behind. This line of defense not only contained the enemy forces from the east from the direction of Fu Caliber, but also controlled the incoming enemy from the direction of Taihang (Hanoi) and Bai Jing (Chao Ge and Makino) in the south. It can be said that the Shangdang barrier is located, if the caliber of the Fu is lost, it is just the loss of the outpost of Jizhou in the east, and the offensive and defensive situation is just changed, but once Huguan is not guaranteed, Shangdang County will fall in the whole territory, and the state will be in danger.

Of course, He Chen has no plans to plot against Jizhou for the time being, but at Guo Jia's suggestion, he simply wants to cut off the threat from the Montenegrin army in the Handan area.

Subsequently, He Chen ordered Zhang Xiu to lead 3,000 soldiers to take over the city defense layout of Shangdang County. If there is a protest order, it will not matter if there is a killing.

Then he asked Liao Hua to lead 10,000 soldiers to choose the treacherous terrain outside the city and set up camp.

Before that, He Chen returned to the county government to discuss the follow-up with Guo Jia.

There were dim candles lit in the study, and the lamps burned with "crackling" sounds from time to time, Guo Jia, who was standing next to He Chen, smiled and said at this time: "At this time, General Wen Yuan is estimated to have been very depressed and defeated, right?" ”

"Haha, this guy must be very upset right now." He Chen comfortably cocked his feet and put them on the table, with no image to speak of, and said a little gloating.

"The lord still has to prepare early, it is estimated that it will not be long before there will be news from Gongming." Guo Jia didn't care at all, because he always did this thing.

"Only now, Benzhou Mu regretted it a little, why did he leave He Man in Jingzhou? This guy is very good at mountain warfare. ”
