After Wan Bing received the news that the officers and soldiers crossed the river from Baima, it was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and the whole person was stupid, he never thought that the officers and soldiers would really cross the river from Baima. In the scheme, this Huangfu Song, really an old fox, in Linyi old set up a suspicious formation, in Chiping Chen boat to cross, it turned out to be really a sound to attack the west, until the officers and soldiers began to attack Baimadu, he also mistakenly thought that the place where the officers and soldiers crossed the river was still in Chiping, what a big failure!

Wu Huan could not resist the offensive of the officers and soldiers, and led the remnants of the defeated army to flee to Liyang. And Wan Bing has received a report from Tanma that Zheng Tai, the assassin of Yanzhou, has led 30,000 officers and soldiers to attack Leping. Leping has no danger to rely on, easy to attack and difficult to defend, not to mention that the officers and soldiers have already crossed the river, and there is no point in holding on to the north bank of the Yellow River, Wan Bing has no time to ask Zhang Jiao for instructions, and immediately set up camp and set up a village, and the whole division retreats to the Qinghe.

Two days after Zhang Jiao received the news that the officers and soldiers had crossed the river, he was so angry that he was furious. Wan Bing and Wu Huan, two rice buckets, led an army of 100,000 to defend the Yellow River, but they were broken through the defense line by 80,000 officers and soldiers, and they wanted to punish their crimes, but Sima Wei admonished that now the army of officers and soldiers is pressing the border, and it is the time to employ people, which can make them guilty and make meritorious contributions.

Zhang Jiao thought about it, and gave up the idea of punishing them, and strictly ordered Wu Huan, who had fled to Liyang, to count his troops and horses, and strengthen the city defense of Liyang with the army that originally guarded Liyang, and be sure to guard the south gate of Yecheng. As for Wan Bing, who retreated to Qinghe, Zhang Jiao also made a verbal punishment, ordering him to guard Qinghe and strictly prevent officers and soldiers from besieging Guangzong from the east road.

Wu Huan was originally nervous, and after the failure to defend the white horse, he knew that the death penalty was inevitable, but as soon as Zhang Jiao's order arrived. Unexpectedly, it was an extrajudicial mercy that did not hold him accountable for his failure. He couldn't help but be grateful, and kowtowed to the north more than a dozen times. Swear allegiance to the Heavenly General. Wu Huan retreated to Liyang with the remnants of the army, plus the original defenders of Liyang, there were forty or fifty thousand people, plus the city defense was strong, Cao Cao led the army to attack for a day, but he couldn't overcome it.

Huangfu Song led the army to arrive later, and when he saw the situation in Liyang, he did not rush to attack the city, but went down to the village fifteen miles south of Liyang City. All the generals were surprised, why didn't Huangfu Song take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Liyang in one go.

Huangfu Song said: "Liyang is an important town in southern Hebei, it is an important gateway to Yecheng, the city defense is strong, although Wu Huan was defeated in Baima, but the main force was not greatly damaged, plus the original garrison of Liyang, the number of people is roughly the same as our army." At this time, if you are in a hurry to attack the city, Wu Huan will definitely defend to the death, although there is no suspense in taking Liyang, but the number of casualties of our army is worrying. ”

Min Gong said: "Does the general have a clever plan? ”

"The equipment of our army is superior to that of the yellow thief. It is conducive to field warfare, if Wu Huan can be lured out of Liyang, surrounded and annihilated. It's the best policy. ”

"Wu Huan also knows that I am strong and he is weak in the field, and I will defend the city. Anken went out of the city to fight our army? ”

"Liyang is the gateway to Yecheng, and our army can bypass Liyang. Directly attack Yecheng, if Yecheng is lost, Liyang will be broken without attacking. ”

"Could it be that the general is really preparing to give up Liyang and attack Yecheng directly? If this is the case, wouldn't it be dangerous for our army to be blocked by Zhang Jiao's army in front of it, and Wu Huan's soldiers and horses to pursue it later? ”

Huangfu Song said with a smile: "Soldiers, treacherous, what this official wants is for Wu Huan to come and pursue, a detour to attack Yecheng is false, and it is true to set up an ambush to encircle and annihilate Wu Huan, as long as our army bluffs around Liyang to attack Yecheng, Wu Huan will give up Liyang to come and pursue, if he dares to come, keep him and have no return." ”

All the generals are happy, and even call it a clever plan.

In the next few days, the officers and soldiers continued to attack the city, but the attack was weak, and even a brick at the head of Liyang City was not shaken. Wu Huan was a little smug, it seemed that it was wise to take the initiative to withdraw from Baimadu, with the tall city walls, the well-equipped officers and soldiers still had no choice but to do it. Suddenly, the scouts reported that the officers and soldiers had the intention of bypassing Liyang and marching north. Wu Huan panicked, hurriedly went up to the city tower to watch, sure enough, the official army had already set up camp and set up a village, and made a detour to the north.

Although Liyang is geographically important, it is only the gateway to Yecheng in Jizhou, if Yecheng is lost, Liyang will become a useless place, not to mention that Zhang Jiaoqin led the army to attack Yecheng, if Huangfu Song directly attacked the Yellow Turban camp in Yecheng, General Tiangong would definitely blame himself for guarding Liyang. Considering this, Wu Huan did not dare to hesitate any longer, in addition to leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, he immediately counted 40,000 horses, opened the city gate, and pursued the officers and soldiers to the north.

But Wu Huan never thought that this was Huangfu Song's plan to lure the enemy, and he hurriedly crossed the Qingshui River and fell into the encirclement of the official army on all sides. In less than an hour, all 40,000 yellow scarves were wrapped in dumplings, and none of them escaped, and Wu Huan also died in the chaos, with countless wounds and prisoners. Huangfu Song cleaned up the Qingshui River battlefield and returned to Liyang. As soon as Wu Huan died, the Yellow Turban Army had already lost all fighting spirit, not to mention that there were only more than 10,000 people left in the Liyang garrison, and how could they resist tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, the defenders had to obediently erect a white flag and surrender, and the Huangfu Song soldiers took Liyang City bloodlessly.

News came from Qingheguo that Zheng Tai and Wan Bing fought in Qinghe, and the two sides were in a stalemate. Huangfu Song also ignored it, and the top priority now is to enter Yecheng north, defeat the main army of the Yellow Turbans besieging the city, and relieve the danger of Yecheng.

At the beginning of April, Huangfu Songtong led an army of 50,000 to cross the Huanshui River, approached Yecheng, and went down to the Huancheng city fifty miles south of Yecheng, opposite the Yellow Turban camp besieging Yecheng.

As early as when the soldiers arrived in Huancheng, Huangfu Song had already sent scout soldiers to find out the situation of the Yellow Turban Army besieging Yecheng. This attack on Yecheng, Zhang Jiao personally served as the commander-in-chief, with Zhang Bao as the deputy commander, the 36 square Qu Marshal of the Yellow Turban Army came to 24 (after the death of Qu Shuai Bocai, Zuo Zhangba, etc., Zhang Jiao reappointed the new Qu Marshal of all parties), commanding an army of 400,000 people, which can be described as a large number of soldiers and a wide range of generals, and the momentum is huge.

Since Dong Zhuo succeeded Lu Zhi, Hebei officers and soldiers have been defeated repeatedly, lost the city and fell into the ground, and the Yellow Turban is prosperous, and then Zhang Jiao Xingxing succeeded, increasing the longevity of a century, the Yellow Turban Army camp is jubilant, morale is high, Lianke Julu, Qinghe, Zhao Guo, Changshan, Anping, Hejian, Zhongshan counties, Hebei is only left with a lonely city in Yecheng is still in the hands of the court, and other counties have fallen. After Dong Zhuo was dismissed, the court appointed Huangfu Song as the general of Jizhou Assassin Shi and Zuo Che Cavalry, and supervised the military of Hebei, but at that time, Huangfu Song was still in Dongjun and was not allowed to cross the river, and the military of Yecheng was temporarily replaced by Wuhuan Zhonglang, and Wei County Taishou Cui Lie and Julu Taishou Guo Dian assisted him. The sect led less than 40,000 officers and soldiers to defend Yecheng, relying on the tall walls and strong fortifications of Yecheng, and ten times with their own Yellow Turban soldiers to start a tug-of-war, to the end of October last year Yecheng was besieged, it has been a full half a year now, both the offensive and defensive sides have paid a heavy price of casualties, Yecheng side is even more internal and external difficulties, exhausted, precarious.

After setting up camp, Huangfu Song immediately convened the generals to discuss how to attack.

Cao Cao said: "You have to combine the inside and the outside to have a chance of winning." ”

"Now the Yellow Turban 400,000 besieged Yecheng, set up a ten-mile company camp, and surrounded Yecheng to the point that the water is impassable. But who can do this? Huangfu Song looked around at the generals, and all the generals bowed their heads and were silent, this errand was not an easy job, and no one wanted to take it on themselves.

Seeing that no one agreed, Huangfu Song couldn't help but sigh: "Could it be that there are no brave generals like Cao Mo under the account of this official?" ”

Before the words fell, one person stepped forward and said generously: "General, the last general is willing to go." ”

Huangfu looked at it, but it was Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, who had been standing behind Liu Ze for a long time, but he saw him standing upright, his silkworm eyebrows lying down, his phoenix eyes slightly open, not angry but mighty. Huangfu Song was overjoyed and said, "I don't know how many people Yun Chang needs to bring?" ”

Guan Yu said proudly: "One person and one ride are enough." ”

Although Huangfu Song said happily and worriedly: "The enemy army is ten miles away, known as 400,000 people, Yun Chang rode through the pass, and there is a chance of victory?" ”

"400,000 yellow scarves, Guan Mou regards them as grass mustard, what are you afraid of? The emperor rode a car and asked for a book, and I could set off. Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes revealed that confidence and calmness.

Huangfu Song also seemed to be infected by Guan Yu's arrogance, and laughed heartily: "Yun Chang's courage is slightly extraordinary, and his courage is commendable. Immediately, he handed over the book to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu took the order.

Originally, Liu Ze was still thinking about whether to send Jin Yingwei to sneak into Yecheng in the yellow scarf to deliver the letter, but Guan Yu was angry because of Huangfu Song's sigh, Liu Ze knew that this was Guan Yu's temperament, Guan Yu has always been proud, Huangfu Song sighed that when there was no one under the tent, how could the arrogance in Guan Yu's chest allow him to sit idly by?

was handsome, Guan Yu noticed that Liu Ze's face was not very good-looking, and said, "The eldest brother doesn't seem to want the younger brother to come out?" ”

"Brother Wei knows that the second brother has always been heroic, but in this chaotic army, the situation is changeable, and if there is a loss, it will not be regretted. Originally, the act of sending a letter was to send one or two Jin Yingwei into the Yellow Turban Battalion, and it could be done lightly, but unexpectedly, Yun Chang took the order first. Liu Ze had already planned his plan.

Guan Yu said proudly: "Yu is ordered by General Huangfu, and he has no intention of cowering, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, he will break through." ”

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "The second brother is not a hit, a blockbuster, the younger brother is willing to go to Yecheng with the second brother to break into this Longtan tiger's den." ”

Guan Yu did not agree to Zhang Fei's request, and said: "Since this trip promised General Huangfu to ride one person and one horse, the third brother does not have to go with me. (To be continued......)
