(500,000 powders are worth it!!) Thank you for your kindness...... It's hard to put it into words. Thanks to Zhao Wuxian 2014 for his uninterrupted tipping support. Thank you, both! )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the beginning of June in the fourth year of Chuping (193), heavy rain fell in Hanoi County for more than 20 days and nights, and the east of Chaoge (now Qi County, Henan) flooded and "drifted away from the dwellings". The commander of the Montenegrin army was in the base camp of Laohuling in Lugut Mountain, but unexpectedly, Yuan Shaoqin led tens of thousands of revenge troops, braved the wind and rain, overcame the difficult march, and quickly marched west from Wei County to occupy Chaoge, and the troops were divided into five roads to block the various mountain passes, and sent troops from the mouth of Cangyan Valley to Xidaling to cut off the retreat of the Yu Poison Army, and finally launched a general attack from the mouth of each valley to the Yu Poison Army entrenched in the Tiger Ridge.
Yu Yu is still fighting in the poisonous trapped beast, Yuan Jun is determined to take revenge, Cangyan Valley blood rain flies, and Tiger Ridge is bloody in five steps.
At that time, Zhang Yan's army divided into a part to go to Chaoge to rescue, but was blocked by the Jizhou army, and the two sides fought fiercely and were unable to help. Yu Poison was surrounded, led his troops to rush left and left, fought hard, fought fiercely for five days and nights, and blood splashed Tiger Ridge. Yuan Jun endured humiliation and dirt, and drained his liver and gall, in order to poison the murderer and thief of Yecheng with his hand. The battle of Lugut Mountain can be described as an enemy meeting each other, and they are very red-eyed. There is no need to mobilize at all, the soldiers use their lives, no, they are desperate! Humanity is the victory of the mourning soldiers, but in fact, the real victory is the army of revenge.
In the end, Yu Poison was beheaded by Wen Chou, more than 10,000 people were killed in the Black Mountain Army, the rest surrendered, and the entire Tiger Ridge was like a bloody wash. At the end of the war, the clouds and rain stopped, the sun was shining, and from a distance, the mountains of Laohuling were like blood steamed buns......
Subsequently, Yuan Jun's momentum was like a rainbow, and several roads came out together. swept the leaders of the Montenegrin Army, broke through the dock wall, and in just half a month, captured and killed the chiefs, such as Guo Daxian, Yu Yigen, Zuo Zhangba, Pinghan, Daji, Pengzai, Baique, Wulu, Li Damu...... Wait a minute. Only a few ringleaders such as Liu Shi, Qing Niujiao, Zuo Xiao and others were lucky enough to escape. Suddenly, Yuan's descended like a demon king and became the nemesis of Montenegro.
In late June, Yuan Shao learned that there had been a change in Changshan, and immediately left his eldest son Yuan Tan to lead a partial division, leaving to continue to clear the remnants of Montenegro, and personally led the main force. went north to face Zhang Yan, the commander of the Montenegrin Army.
Yuan's army had 30,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry. The duel against the Montenegrin coalition army was 50,000 infantry and 8,000 cavalry. This is an unprecedented decisive battle to determine who belongs to Jizhou.
At the beginning of July, Changshan Kingdom really set the city, and the head of the city was already planted with the flying and arrogant red flag of the Black Mountain Army. At this time, Zhending was not the big city in later generations, but just a small county town. The county of Changshan Country is in the Yuan clan a hundred miles to the south, not Zhending.
At this time, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, Yishou's Jizhou Army, Geng Zhi's Duliao Battalion, the Fourth Battalion Tu Ge and the cavalry of Yanmen Karasuma were all distributed in the triangle of Zhending, Jiumen and Gengxiang, forming a stable fulcrum that was the horns of each other. Among them, Gengxiang is the most prominent and sharp triangle, and its edge. It is facing Xiaquyang (now Jin County, Hebei) in Julu County 70 miles away on the bank of Zhangshui.
And Xiyang Pavilion on the other side of the river in Xiaquyang also gathered nearly 40,000 troops of the Yuan family, and the two cities watched each other, and they were about to be in the Jizhong Plain of Yima Pingchuan. A fierce collision with the Montenegrin coalition forces.
At this time, no one noticed that Wuji, which was less than a hundred miles away from Xiyang Pavilion, where the Yuan army was stationed, and Jiumen County, where the Black Mountain army was stationed, was quietly sailing into the three ships. Enter the tributaries of the Hutuo River to nourish water. Zishui originates from the Baicheng Valley of Niuyin Mountain, a branch of Taihang in the northwest of Changshan Country, winds down, and passes around the south wall of Wuji City. It flows eastwards and joins the Hutuo River in the north of Xiyang Pavilion.
At this moment, in the second-floor cabin of the middle of the three sills, Ma Han and his subordinate elites gathered together: Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Xiahoulan, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao...... Uh, there's also a Zhao Yingzi.
Seeing Zhao Yun's niece, Ma Han had a headache. Since the battle of Nanzhuang that night, this girl's bright eyes have been staring at herself all day long, either firmly sticking to the Demon Pupil Bow with her gaze, or from time to time in front of Ma Han and her uncle, she always mentioned some "Night Forest Arrow" in front of Ma Han and her uncle, and asked her uncle to teach her, which made Zhao Yun's head very big. At this time, Zhao Yun turned his face and looked at Ma Han, asking with his eyes, while Ma Han spread his hands, indicating that he could not do anything.
Although Zhao Yun didn't know why Ma Han was powerless, he at least understood that the skill of this "Night Forest Arrow" was either because his niece was not qualified enough, or because there was some reason why it was inconvenient for others to teach. Think about it, how can such a stunt be taught casually?
couldn't sharpen the technique, and didn't even have a chance to play with that strange strange bow, Zhao Yingzi was obviously very unhappy. Knowing that his uncle was going to fight the Montenegrin coalition with this strong archery guy, he insisted on following. At first, Zhao Yun refused on the grounds that her shoulder injury had not healed, but by the time Ma Hao's three ships carrying one hundred and fifty wolf teeth arrived, nearly a month had passed, and Zhao Yingzi's shoulder injury had already healed. This time, Zhao Yun had no excuses.
In the battle of Nanzhuang, 84 people were annihilated and slaughtered, none of them ran, nearly 100 horses were captured, and there were bows, arrows, knives and axes that could be equipped with 100 people, which directly solved the dilemma of the volunteers who held the calf village and Jiugongwu had soldiers and horses. After reorganization, the calf village selected 30 horsemen who were good at galloping and riding battles, and Jiugongwu and Qingtangwu selected 60 strong and brave knights, and they had to ride a hundred horses. Ma Han divided the nearly 100 cavalry into two teams, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan led one team, and Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao led the other team.
This cavalry horse huss is strong, and it looks very elite, but the horse warrior knows that they lack cavalry combat combined attack training, and a single combat force may be possible, but it is definitely not possible to cooperate with the battle, and they can't give full play to the advantage of group combat at all, and can only be used as an auxiliary force.
A hundred-man team was missing, but the Hugh Tu people could not send another army to find out, because Zhang Yan launched the Battle of Zhending, and the Hugh Tu people could no longer take care of a small mountain village. After the battle was really settled, Yuan Shao's army had already gone north, and he didn't care about the disappearance of a team.
After Ma Han introduced the newly joined generals to Tai Shici one by one, he announced the beginning of the collegiate meeting, and the gentlemen could speak freely and express their views on the current form.
Since Guan Hai was sincerely submitted, his mind has been opened, and in front of Ma Han, he has also returned to his former boldness, and first threw out a question that had been stuffed in his heart for a long time: "Since the city guard wants to join forces with the Yuan family, why don't we contact the Yuan army in Xiaquyang first, but run to this Zhongshan first?" ”
Ma Han's eyes swept over Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao's faces, and said with a smile: "Can the two of you solve Guan Shengde's doubts?" ”
Zhou and Pei glanced at each other, scratched their scalps across their heads, and said: "We are the arrows in the hands of the city guards, where to fight, and to obey orders." Hey hey ......"
Tai Shi Ci shook his head and smiled: "The city guard does not contact the Yuan family at this time, I think it is because I am worried that I will not be able to negotiate a good price, so I can only find a chance to fight first, so that Yuan Jun can see the power of our army, and at that time, you can open a good price." ”
Ma Han laughed: "Those who know me, Ziyi also." ”
Tai Shici has worked with Ma Han for more than half a year, and with his flexible and changeable heart, he can somewhat understand this lord and know that this is a guy who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early. If they want to help Yuan Shao, they naturally can't work in vain, not only for benefits, but also for maximizing benefits. And to achieve this goal, it is necessary for Yuan Shao to see the sharpness of their cavalry, which needs to wait for the opportunity.
"We're going to have to wait for the right moment, but this place is a good hiding spot, the waterfront, the dock, surrounded by reeds, which can provide good shelter for our boats." Ma Han pointed to the east and south, "The east is less than 100 miles away from the Yuan army of Xiyang Pavilion, and the south is only more than 30 miles away from the nine gates garrisoned by the Black Mountain coalition army. ”
Zhao Yun hated and grinded his teeth: "These Hu Nu thieves can't slaughter Zhending, so they robbed the nine gates instead, and half of the people in the city have broken down...... Hugh slaughter people, Karasuma people, I can't spare them! ”
As soon as he said this, Zhao Yingzi's eyes were also red, and his silver teeth were biting, they came all the way from Zhending, and they saw that the villages around Jiumen were burned to the ground, with corpses all over the ground, and they choked with blood and gunsmoke. Since Zhang Yan, the leader of Montenegro, is a member of the Zhending clan, it is strictly forbidden for his subordinates and Hugh to slaughter the Hu and Karasuma people to harm Zhending. As a result, these plundering Hu Nu asked to be relocated to Jiumen, and then Jiumen County suffered......
Xia Houlan volunteered: "I am familiar with the terrain around Jiumen, please let me take the scout to reconnoiter tomorrow." ”
Pei Yuanshao was not to be left behind, patted his chest and banged: "I know how to walk in this place with my eyes closed, and I am also good at water, let me come!" ”
Just when the generals asked for help, the guards outside the gate came to report: "Report to the city guard, Zhen Fu sent someone to ask to see." ”
Zhen's house? Don't have a great surname? Everyone in the cabin was confused, Zhen came to the door so quickly? How did they come to the door?
Ma Han smiled knowingly, only he knew best in his heart that the wharf where the three ships docked at the moment was Zhen's industry. And the reason why he was able to let the dock owner greet him respectfully and berth safely was because of the jade pendant engraved with the word "Zhen" that was given to him by the young daughter of the Zhen family that day. This token of the Zhen clan appeared in Wuji, how could the people of the Zhen clan not know the reason, so it was expected that there was an invitation.
In fact, even if Zhen ignores it, Ma Han will come to the door, after all, if they want to lurk in this place well, they can't help but deal with local heroes to win the support of the other party, at least neutral. Otherwise, once the whereabouts are leaked and the Montenegrin army knows, the full ship of cavalry will have to be dumplings.
Ma Han first asked Xiahoulan about the situation of the Zhen family, especially the situation of the head of the Zhen family, etc., and then repeatedly told Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to restrain their subordinates and try not to show their faces. What's worse is that it will also affect yourself - didn't you save the beauty last time, why did you get together with the robber and the rescuer in the blink of an eye? What a double reed! It's too old-fashioned!
The current situation of Ma Han, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others is really unclear.
Therefore, Ma Han only took Xiahou Lan with him, and for the first time, he took off his bow and arrows, and only brought gifts and smiling faces.
Well, isn't it true that Zhen is not the case? Let's see what kind of character it is. (To be continued......)
