The Shaanxi-Tianjin ferry port on the north bank of the river is busy.

After tens of thousands of Bai Bo soldiers hurriedly entered the dock, the formation immediately became chaotic, and the noisy shouts, angry scolding, the sonorous sound of armor and weapons colliding with each other, the sound of messy footsteps, and the crisp sound of leather whips flying were heard for a while, and almost all the heavens and the earth were shrouded in the tense atmosphere of the coming war.

Shaanxi-Jindu is one of the three famous ferries in the middle and upper reaches of the river, for thousands of years has been an important strategic hub connecting the north and south of the river, known as "the land when the Jin-Henan thoroughfare, the convergence of business travel, the hole of the three Jin Dynasty salt transport", has always been the gateway of the three Jin Dynasty into Henan and the southern provinces, and is the place of "the three Jin Dynasty Ping Domain", the salt, iron, and grain of Hedong County and even half of the state need to be transported to Luoyang from this ferry, and the geographical location is extremely important.

In that year, Qin Mugong attacked Zheng, and the surprise soldiers of Jin crossed the river from Maojin, and finally defeated the Qin army in Kunshan, and another famous allusion "False Road to Destroy Yu" also occurred in this area.

At this moment, on the low hill on the left side of the dock, Han Xian, the commander of the Baibo Army who was nearly forty years old, stood with his sword, his thick half-foot long beard, fluttering in the wind. The more than ten generals standing beside him and behind him also closed their lips and looked ahead, their eyes revealing irrepressible deep worry.

Han Xian has been staring at the wharf on the south bank of the river that is still rising green smoke, due to the long distance, and the sun is too strong, everything on the south bank is a hazy transpiration image, except for a few flaming red battle flags of the Qingzhou army, it is impossible to see the enemy's deployment in the depth of the ferry and up and down the wharf.

I don't know if it's commonplace or not paying attention, Han Xian didn't look at the soldiers on the dock who were rushed to more than 200 large and small ferries by officials at all levels with leather whips, and it seemed that his whole mind had flown to the south bank.

As early as the dawn of the day. Han Xian had already received an urgent report that the ferry port on the south bank had been attacked and that Shaanxi County had been suddenly surrounded by tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops. This situation made many generals of the White Polish Army feel very surprised. Panicked and overwhelmed, Han Xian immediately calmed down after a short period of consternation:

As early as when he accepted Yuan Shao's official vows, equipment and a large amount of money, he had already expected that there might be such a day, and now that the most worrying thing has come, he has to find a way to deal with it.

Before the decision was made to send 30,000 elite soldiers across the river to rescue, the generals and colonels of the Baibo Army had different opinions and heated arguments, but with a steady stream of intelligence and the return of the rout troops on the south bank. The generals who gradually figured out the situation on the south bank were in different moods.

However, whether it is schadenfreude or cold lips and teeth, they all know that Li Le's department, which is surrounded by tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops, is likely to be broken this time, and the debate between them about "whether to rescue and how to rescue" also came to an abrupt end, and they all looked at the solemn coach Han Xian.

Han Xian repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and made a decision that surprised most generals but was secretly gratified: "Send 40,000 troops and go all out to rescue!" ”

With this order, the whole army moved.

The temporarily appointed captain of the navy returned to the ferry port as if he were flying to drive his corporal to berth the ship. Preparing to transport troops across the river, a group of horse troops rushed to the banks of the upper reaches of the river. Desperately searching for ships, 35,000 elite foot soldiers quickly left the Chinese army camp and went straight to the dock.

Under Han Xian's earnest advice, the two veteran Bai Bo military cadets took the token and a thousand taels of gold and rode straight to the small ferry twenty miles upstream of the big river, buying time to cross the south bank to lobby Yang Feng, the old man.

The Baibo army from weak to strong, constantly growing and growing, almost never lost a battle for several years, the Baibo officers and soldiers who have gone through the battle array are tenacious and strong, advancing and retreating rapidly, since occupying the richest in the world, owning one-third of the salt and iron resources of the entire Han Dynasty Hedong County and Merging Prefecture, the Baibo army that has obtained a huge amount of money and weapons and equipment is even more like a tiger, and even the more than 20,000 elite cavalry attached to the Xiongnu Yufuluo Department who have always been fierce and cunning and unscrupulous do not dare to touch a single bit.

Therefore, the morale of the Baibo army is very high, even if the rumored Qingzhou army is strong, it can't let the unruly and fierce Baibo army officers and soldiers look up to a few points, they have never fought with the Qingzhou army before, and they have never been afraid of the so-called Qingzhou army, the so-called strongest army in the world, which has become famous in recent years.

It is precisely because the two-mile-wide river runs in front of it, the number of ships is seriously insufficient, and the Baibo army, which has 60,000 elite soldiers and more than 50,000 auxiliaries, cannot dispatch all the main forces to fight a decisive battle with the Qingzhou army at one time, which causes differences of opinion between the generals and schools of the Baibo army, but once the commander Han Xian makes a decision, the Baibo army will absolutely obey and go all out.

However, it was not an easy task for 35,000 foot soldiers and 5,000 horsemen to cross a mighty river two miles wide, and it took an hour and a half from the time the order was given to the time when the ship was boarded.

In order to avoid the danger of being annihilated by insufficient troops after arriving at the wharf on the south bank, more than 200 ships loaded with more than 10,000 elite soldiers must set off together, do their best to rush into the wharf as quickly as possible after crossing the river, and then force the elite on board to land and fight, make every effort to break through the Qingzhou army defense line at the south bank ferry, quickly establish a position, and cover the continuous landing of the follow-up main force.

Only in this way can we gain time to gather tens of thousands of troops, and use signals to notify the more than 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 auxiliaries of Li Le's troops in the besieged city to join forces and fight to the death with the Qingzhou army under the city of Shaanxi, otherwise not only will it be impossible to rescue Li Lesuo's troops in the besieged city, but it is unpredictable whether the heavy troops can retreat after forcibly landing.

Standing on the left side of Han Xian deputy marshal Hu Cai, tall, eyes deep, as the most trusted general by Han Xian, Hu Cai is not only brave, but also calm and impatient, whether it is alone or assisting coach Han Xian, for several years, Han Xian and the Bai Bo army have never disappointed.

However, Hu Cai's feeling is very bad today, everything that the Qingzhou Army has shown since its contact with the Baibo Army has deeply shocked Hu Cai, and he is extremely scruples, especially the legendary rise of Liu Cun, the commander of the Qingzhou Army, and the glorious examples of the eradication of Zhang Ju and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

After a long time, Han Xian, who felt that the people around him were breathing disorderly, turned his head in some surprise, and after seeing Hu Cai's uncertain face, he frowned a little unhappily and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking?" ”

Hu Cai's thick eyebrows shook slightly, he secretly took a deep breath, and replied truthfully: "My subordinates are worried that the more than 10,000 brothers in front of me will be blocked by the Qingzhou army and will not be able to successfully seize the dock on the other side, and it will be even more difficult in the future...... I was also worried that General Yang Feng, who had gathered heavy troops at Hangu Pass and Xiwangdu in the upper reaches, would not be willing to help. ”

Han Xian smiled slightly: "Originally, I didn't expect Yang Feng's help, and it is estimated that he would not dare to offend the Qingzhou army, as long as he sat on the mountain and watched the tiger without moving, even if it was to give me face." ”

Hu Cai opened his mouth a little in surprise, groaned slightly, and finally understood, and the pressure in his heart decreased sharply: "I see, my subordinates know!" ”

"Do you really know?" Han Xian asked with a smile.

Hu Cai nodded, his frowning brows stretched slightly: "As long as the first wave of more than 10,000 brothers in front of us breaks through the resistance of the Qingzhou Army and successfully gains a foothold on the south bank, we will continue to throw 40,000 elites into the south bank, plus Li Lexian's brother in the city should cooperate with the outside world, and my nearly 50,000 troops will be able to put aside all worries and fight a decisive battle with the Qingzhou Army under Shaanxi County." ”

"At that time, even if we can't defeat the Qingzhou Army with comparable strength, we can retreat westward into General Yang Feng's territory, without worrying that there is no way out of the battle...... With the previous negotiations, General Yang Feng may have no choice but to retreat on both sides and let go of a road for our army to go calmly. ”

Han Xian nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, if I didn't know Yang Feng's temperament and personality, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to make this decision......

"Right now, among these brothers, as long as more than 5,000 elites can successfully land on the South Shore Wharf and stick to it, I have nothing to worry about, I really can't, I can slowly retreat and think about it, haha!"

"I've always heard that the Qingzhou Army is brave and good at fighting, Liu Cun and Liu Zijian are geniuses, I want to see if he is a famous general, haha!"

With Han Xian shouting, the two lieutenants rushed down the mound and quickly rushed to the shore on the west side of the pier, igniting five piles of thick wolf smoke.

Five puffs of smoke rose straight up, and they could be clearly seen within twenty miles of the north and south of the Han Dynasty.
