Mianchi, the crossing of the Yellow River. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Trucks full of grain and grass were transported to Hebei, then loaded onto ships and transported to Henan. On a dirt slope at the ferry, Cheng Wu, a soldier in charge of transporting grain and grass, looked at the busy crowd and urged to transport grain as soon as possible.

"Why are you so anxious when you join the army? You must know that now we have iron chains locked in the Yellow River upstream and downstream, and those damn Jingxiang sailors won't be able to come! Seeing Cheng Wu roaring so urgently, Xiahou Mao, the captain of the Xiaocai who was responsible for transporting grain and grass with him, also smiled.

Cheng Wu is the son of Cheng Yu, and Xiahou Mao is the eldest son of Xiahou Yuan, and he can be regarded as the second generation of the authentic Cao Wei Group. Now Cao Hong's army is fighting in Henan, and these little characters are either fighting with the army, or they are busy beating soy sauce and transporting grain and grass in the back. Although Cheng Wu is not as intelligent as his father, he is very similar to Cheng Yu in one thing, that is, he has an extremely keen sense of crisis.

"Having said that, as soon as the grain and grass are transported to the front early, the soldiers will feel more at ease!" Cheng Wu said cautiously. At this moment, I heard a burst of exclamations from the soldiers on the shore. Cheng Wu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly climbed up to a high place to see what was going on. This didn't matter, and Cheng Wu was dumbfounded.

But I saw dozens of small boats floating down in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, these small boats were very strange, and they were all stacked with large cabinets. But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the sailors on the ship, all the armor is the color of vermilion: authentic Liu Beijun equipment.

"Is it Jingxiang Water Master?" Xiahou Mao, who followed, was immediately anxious when he saw these small boats. Awakened by Xiahou Mao's duck-like call, Cheng Wu was also excited, and then asked in wonder: "How did Jingxiang Sailor come here, isn't there an iron chain and a reef upstream?" ”

No one could answer him, but soon Cheng Wu would know the answer. After touching the chains on the riverbank, the sailors' soldiers immediately moved the large cabinet on the ship to the bow of the ship against the chain, and then set the large cabinet on fire. I don't know what these cabinets are made of, but the fire is burning so strongly.

"What is this?" In the incredulous eyes of Cheng Wu and Xiahou Mao, it didn't take long for the iron chain to be burned red, and then burned out. Since this section is a ferry, there are only chains and no reefs. As a result, after the chain was burned, the warship that followed behind rushed towards the unsuspecting grain carrier like a dragon out of the water.

"Quick, get back!" Xiahou Mao was really anxious, he didn't want the ship to come too fast, although he had already withdrawn just now, but there were still more than ten grain ships that did not have time to withdraw, and finally they were sunk in the Yellow River, and all the grain on the ship was soaked.

"General Cheng Shi, the Great Han Naval Division, everyone, there will be a period later!" From the bow of the ship, an arrogant voice came ashore. Xiahou Mao was so angry that he almost didn't jump into the water, Cheng Wu looked at the Jingxiang Sailor who was gradually moving away, and his heart suddenly brightened: nine times out of ten, the iron chains upstream were also removed by them in this way. Then I thought that now Jingxiang Shui Shi can come and go freely in the Yellow River.

"Wait, doesn't this mean that hundreds of thousands of troops have been completely cut off in the land of Henan?" As soon as this thought arose, Cheng Wu suddenly felt a cool breath rising from the soles of his feet to his head, and he almost collapsed to the ground on the spot. After settling down, Cheng Wu still decided to report to the court of Yecheng first, and with his own ability, he couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while.

What Cheng Wu didn't know was that this was just the beginning. At this time, Zhang Fei took a paper roll from the leg of a carrier pigeon, and after unfolding it to look at it, he immediately grinned: "The matter on the other side of the Yellow River has been done, and I can also send troops!" ”

"Good!" After hearing Zhang Fei's words, Zhao Feng and the others cheered. They have been stationed in Longxi for more than half a month, Zhao Feng's surname is calm and self-sufficient, but Zhang Fei has been waiting a little painfully. Now when I receive the news and go to attack Hebei, I can't help but feel relieved.

"This time, Zilong and Meng Qi led the army to attack Youzhou; Bo Tao and I led the army to attack and merge the state. Tian Yu, the guard of Yanmen Pass in Bingzhou, is an old friend of His Majesty in the past, so if he can be persuaded to surrender Kaicheng, Yanmen Pass can be lowered in one fell swoop. Zhang Fei finally arranged, and everyone nodded and agreed.

The next day, the 150,000 army left Longxi, and then went out of Xiaoguan and then to Saiwai, and marched east until the secluded realm. The composition of this 150,000-strong army is extremely complicated, of which 50,000 are Xiliang iron cavalry under Ma Chao, and the remaining 100,000 people, of which about 20,000 are cavalry, were formed after Liu Bei occupied Guanzhong and collected Sima Yi's Guanzhong cavalry. These cavalry from Cao Ying to Xiahou Yuan and then to Liu Bei, there are more than 20,000 left, and they have always been led by Zhang Fei. The remaining 80,000 or so foot soldiers were a mixed force formed by the 50,000 Sichuan Army and the 30,000 Guanzhong Army. It is precisely because the composition of this force is extremely complex that Liu Bei sent so many generals to jointly command this complex composition and structure.

According to Zhuge Liang and others' comprehensive intelligence from various places, now that Cao's army has basically gone south, the remaining men and horses in Youzhou and Bingzhou will not exceed tens of thousands. With the bravery of Zhang Fei and others, it is definitely easy and pleasant to set foot in these two states, and even if it is not good, it can also make a mess of its hinterland. After the 150,000 troops left Xiaoguan, they drove towards Bingzhou and Youzhou. In the face of such a large-scale army, even if the Hu tribe on the grassland wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, they must weigh their own catties.

It turns out that there are still people who don't have long eyes. After leaving Xiaoguan, after marching for two days, Zhang Ren of the rear army came to report that several carts of grain and grass had just been robbed by hundreds of cavalry.

"Can you see what tribe the people are from?" Ma Chao asked, Zhang Ren shook his head, he was out of the jam for a short time, and the people who came ran away after grabbing, and he didn't even say hello, so he naturally didn't know. At this time, Zhang Fei rushed over to ask, and after inquiring, he couldn't inquire about only a few carts of grain and grass, and immediately pouted and said: "It's just these few carts of grain and grass, justice, I will immediately allocate some cavalry to take care of the grain and grass for you, just be careful in the future." Zhang Renzi promised not to mention it.

"Three generals, these Hu people are really hateful. In this way, you go to attack Youzhou and Bingzhou, and I will lead a group of men and horses to play with them here? Zhao Feng saw that Zhang Fei wanted to forget it, and he was also a little unhappy. For these grassland robbers, Zhao Feng has always had a bad impression. It's just that his suggestion at this time is really a bit shocking.

"Bo Tao, at the moment, our top priority is to attack Bingzhou and Youzhou, and it's not too late to clean up these little miscellaneous pieces later!" Zhang Fei was a little surprised that Zhao Feng would be so uninterested in the plan of the surprise attack on Merge State and Youzhou, what he didn't know was that as a traverser, he had no ambition to stand on his own, and his biggest interest was naturally to expand his territory. Zhao Feng didn't want to fight all his life, and all he fought was a civil war. That's why the last time he went to war with the Vietnamese, he worked so hard.

Now that Zhang Fei is going to attack in Bingzhou and Youzhou, even if he doesn't make a move, he will definitely be able to take it. In that case, why don't you stay here and have a good fight with these barbarians? Seeing that Zhao Feng's expression was still eager to try, Zhang Fei knew that he was unwilling to give up easily, so he could only explain: "Now that we are waiting to march into Youzhou, if we stay with you here to compete with these barbarians, if we stay too much, we will not have enough troops to attack Youzhou, and if you stay less, you will not be able to win, so let's wait until Youzhou and Merge are pacified, and then make plans!" ”

"Well, let them be a little more arrogant!" Zhao Feng was a little unwilling. I didn't want to do it at this time, but Ma Dai smiled and said: "If Lord Zhao is unwilling, why don't I wait for tonight, and then clean up this little miscellaneous hair that just came to provoke us without knowing how to do it?" ”

"Zhonghua, the big thing is important, I'll go to Bingzhou first!" Ma Chao saw that his younger brother was also so interested, and hurriedly scolded. I didn't want Ma Dai to continue: "Big brother, this is the territory of the Huns, and I think it's a small tribe of the Huns who don't know how to provoke us." Brother only needs a thousand iron horses, and tonight everyone goes to sleep to destroy him in one fell swoop! ”

"A thousand iron horsemen?" Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this, but fortunately Ma Dai continued to explain: "The Hun cavalry will be the people when they enter, and they will be soldiers when they fight. Just now, the righteous general said that hundreds of them came to loot grain and grass, and I thought that the entire tribe was almost these soldiers. Tonight, we only need 1,000 iron horsemen, and we can raid the base camp of these people at night and wipe them out!" ”

"That's it!" Zhang Fei was a little shocked when he heard this, if the other party was really just a handful of thieves, he would just kill him. Seeing that everyone did not object, Zhang Fei also agreed: "Since this is the case, and it is too late today, we will set up camp here and track it down with your two thousand iron horsemen." Whether you can find it or not, you must come back early tomorrow morning to meet us. If the other side is overwhelming, don't touch it, you know? ”

"The young general understands!" Ma Dai replied with a smile, then turned to Zhao Feng and said, "Lord Zhao, go together?" ”

"Go together, go together!" Zhao Feng hurriedly agreed, joking about such an interesting thing as killing people and setting fires, how could he go differently? It's just that this answer is really a bit of a spoof, and it reminds him of the revolutionaries written by a certain writer in his previous life.

"Grandma, why did this kid become so interested in killing people and setting fires?" Looking at Zhao Feng, who was going with Ma Dai, Zhang Fei also muttered, but in his heart he remembered that his son told him how "murderous" Zhao Feng was in Jiaozhou. Zhang Fei didn't believe it before, but now he does.

"Zhonghua, do you know where these guys have gone?" Zhao Feng asked with some uncertainty. He led two thousand iron cavalry with Ma Dai, and naturally Ma Dai led the way to follow. It's just that those hundreds of people ran away after grabbing the food, who knows where they have gone?

"Don't worry, Lord Wang, these people are gone, but the horseshoe prints on the ground are still there. I guess it will take a few more hours at the most, and I'll be able to catch up. Ma Dai said with confidence.

"It won't take an hour, it's already here!" Zhao Feng suddenly said, and Ma Dai also saw it. On the horizon ahead, the tops of a group of tents appeared, surrounded by a ring of wooden fences, which looked like a tribe inhabited by the Hu people.

A few steps closer, I found that there were more than a dozen carts being pushed towards the tribe. The big car looked very familiar, and it was the baggage car of his own.

"Everyone has stolen goods, there is nothing more to say, give it to me!" With Zhao Feng's order, two thousand iron horsemen rushed towards this tribe. The other party had already discovered this force just now, and although some things were in a hurry, they still rushed up to engage in the battle.
