Chapter 207: White Horse Righteousness

Qingzhou is close to the seashore, rich in seafood, rivers in the territory, and enjoys the benefits of fishing and salt shipping, which has been beautiful and rich since ancient times.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the second emperor Huan Ling was in power, and the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were endless, and the people worked all day long, but the income was still unable to satisfy the appetite of corrupt officials and evil officials, so that the people had no overnight food, and the people had no clothes to cover their bodies.

A remnant sun reflected half of the sky, and under the oblique sunset, officers and soldiers in red armor were busy making fires and cooking or setting up marching tents.

Liu Wei pressed the hilt of his sword and stood in an open space outside the barracks, quietly listening to the sound of gurgling water from the south.

The murmuring of the water and the wind blowing in the ears show more and more the beauty of a natural rhythm.

The place where the army is stationed is close to Jishui, to the south is the border of Jinan, but to the east can follow Jishui and go straight to the Bohai Sea.

Leaving the coincidence, Liu Wei deliberately ordered Dian Wei and others to set fire to the military camp, and in addition, he also ordered his officers and soldiers to disarm all the Bohai Navy in the overlapping city.

After this trouble, although he and Gongsun Chan did not officially oppose each other, they also tore their faces.

Xu Shu's third trick is to ask him to set off storms in the Bohai Sea area, and point the spearhead of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the east to Gongsun Zhan, so as to take advantage of the gap between the three forces to conquer each other, and take the opportunity to develop and grow in the Hedong area.

"Your Highness!" Looking to the south, listening to the sound of the water flowing in the distance, Zhao Yun walked behind Liu Wei and said to him: "The scout has reported that Gongsun Zhan has led the army to attack Zang Hong, and now the army is stationed in the area of Zouping; The attack of the Yellow Turban Army on the front line of Yanzhou was blocked and had also stalled, and thousands of people from the Guanhai Department went north to Qingzhou to raise grain and grass, and were stationed in Liangzou, showing signs of crossing the river. ”

"Early tomorrow morning, our army will cross the Jishui River and go south to Zhu'a, and then advance Liang Zou ......" Staring at the south, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and said to Zhao Yun behind him: "Although the military advisor has already made it clear that this time our army is advancing eastward, in his opinion, it is just to muddy the water on the eastern front, but millions of Qingzhou yellow turbans, after all, it is a lot of strength......"

Standing behind Liu Wei, Zhao Yun also cast his eyes to the south.

If he follows Xu Shu's instructions in the bag, he will make a scene at the coincidence, introduce Gongsun Zhan's strength into Qingzhou, and then go south to Puyang, and take the opportunity to lead Gongsun Zhan to Puyang again, Liu Wei will complete the task of eastward expansion.

But Liu Wei has always been obsessed with the millions of Qingzhou yellow scarves, and always wants to take them in, which makes the form more and more complicated.

If it weren't for the involvement of Zang Hong under Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan would have already moved westward to attack Liu Bian on the grounds of overlapping the changes in the city.

The night passed quietly, and as soon as the sky was overcast, Liu Wei led the army straight to Jishui, intending to cross Jishui, and then march east to annex Guanhai.

As soon as the army reached the bank of Jishui, Liu Wei was about to order the officers and soldiers to cross the river on a raft, when a fast horse rushed over from the lower reaches of the riverbank.

"Your Highness!" When the army approached, the scout on horseback turned over and jumped down, ran quickly in front of Liu Wei, clasped his fists and said: "Today, as soon as the sky is bright, the Yellow Turban thieves who hoard Liang Zou will cross Jishui under the leadership of Guan Hai, trying to find grain and grass in the Zouping area......"

"Guan Hai crossed the river?" Hearing the scout's return, Liu Wei was stunned, and furrowed his brows and asked the scout again.

"Exactly!" The scout clenched his fists and made sure the message was correct.

waved his hand at the scout, and when the scout left, Liu Wei turned his head and said to Zhao Yun behind him: "The yellow turban of the Guanhai Department entered Qingzhou from Yanzhou to find grain and grass supplies. Now Gongsun Zhan and Zang Hong are both north of Jishui, if this king is Guanhai, he will never risk crossing the river, I think there is no grain and grass on the south side of the riverbank......"

"What do you have to do with me if the yellow turban dies?" Zhao Yun also frowned, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, don't pay attention to it, I will cross the river to Yanzhou, and without Guan Hai, the road is much smoother." ”

"This king is going east, what is going on, Zilong is not unknown!" Liu Wei shook his head and said to Zhao Yun: "Guan Hai is a fierce general of the Yellow Turban, and now he is only leading thousands of people back to Qingzhou, which is a good time to take the opportunity to recruit." Once you get Guanhai, it is easy to recruit the yellow scarves in Yanzhou. ”

"Gongsun Zhan's department has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Zang Hong also has 20,000 or 30,000 people." Zhao Yun lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness and lead the army to be stationed here, and the last general will lead a team of men and horses, and go to save Guan Hai first!" ”

"It's useless to save them!" Liu Wei shook his head and said to Zhao Yun: "It's just to save them, it's just that they want to be grateful to Dade, if you want to recruit the king, you have to go!" ”

"Your Highness......" Liu argued that he would personally go to recruit Guan Hai, and Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "The army is rashly marching eastward, in case it enters the trap set by Gongsun Zhan......"

"This time, Han Xian led two thousand soldiers and horses to rush with this king!" Without waiting for Zhao Yun to finish speaking, Liu Wei said to him: "Zilong can lead the army, and Dian Wei and the others will follow closely, once Gongsun Zhan intends to be unfavorable to this king, it will be an exaggeration!" ”

"No!" After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yun always felt that Liu Wei's method was very risky, but he really couldn't think of a better way, so he had to respond with his fists.

Liu Wei decided to suspend the crossing of the river, lead the army eastward, seize the tiger's mouth from Gongsun Zhan and Zang Hong, and recruit the Yellow Turban Army of Guan Hai's department, at the same time, on the bank of the Jishui River in the Zouping area, a group of thousands of Yellow Turban troops had just crossed the Yellow River and landed on the north bank.

The leader of this team of Yellow Turban Army is a yellow turban general in his thirties, with a black face, and the hairy beard on both sides of his cheeks stands upright like steel needles, and the whole person is as thick as a bear.

Landing with this yellow turban general, there is also a beautiful woman with a big knife. The woman was dressed in silver scale armor, with a big red armor tied around her waist, and a yellow scarf wrapped around her head, which gathered her black inky green silk all over, making her cute and a little fierce.

If Liu Wei saw this female general here and now, he would definitely be surprised. She is none other than Guan Qing, who had been to Woniu Mountain with Liu Wei earlier.

"Girl." Standing on the bank of the river, the yellow turban general, who was as thick as a bear, smiled at the female general beside him, raised his hand to Zou Ping, and said to her: "This Qingzhou is really poor now, and I don't even want to make a nest for a bird. ”

"Big brother's move is really risky!" When he said that he wanted to borrow grain from Gongsun Zhan, Guan Qing twisted his delicate brows slightly, and said to him very worriedly: "There are only a few thousand people in our army, and Gongsun Zhan has been guarding Jizhou all the year round, fighting with foreign races for many years, known as General White Horse...... Last year, my Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army also suffered a big loss at his hands! ”

"Birds!" Before Guan Qing's words were finished, Guan Hai turned his head and glared at her, and said angrily: "If it weren't for those few guts who stopped him last year, the eldest brother would have been able to take the head of Gongsun Zhan with just one big knife......

"General, it's not good!" Guan Hai was talking to Guan Qing, and a Yellow Turban soldier who had gone ashore earlier to investigate the situation staggered towards the riverbank, and when he arrived at the riverbank, the Yellow Turban soldier shouted to Guan Hai with a panicked face: "Gongsun Zhan heard that our army crossed the river, and he has already led the army to meet the ......."

"Panic bird!" The Yellow Turban soldiers shouted loudly when they reported the news, and many Yellow Turban officers and soldiers who had just landed heard that Gongsun Zhan was leading the army to come, and they were all a little flustered. It's still a man! ”

scolded the yellow turban soldier, Guan Hai stared at him, and asked him angrily, "How many people are here?" ”

"There is no end in sight of the black press, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of people!" was scolded by Guan Hai, and the yellow turban soldier bent his waist and responded tremblingly: "Walking in the front is a white horse, which should be Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant!" ”

Hearing that the Jizhou army that came to meet him had a white horse servant, Guan Hai was also stunned.

He had encountered Gongsun Zhan's army on the battlefield, and Bai Ma Yicong was good at mounted archery, and rarely charged frontally against the infantry, and fired arrows from a distance around the enemy.

The speed of the war horse is much faster than the two legs of a man, and once the infantry is targeted by the white horse Yicong, there is nothing to do except defend with a shield. Especially the Yellow Turban Army, a team with messy equipment and almost no training, when it meets the white horse and obeys, it is easy to be suppressed and the morale is completely lost, and the army cannot be defeated!

"Get out of here!" Stunned for a moment, Guan Hai waved at the thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers who had just landed on the shore, and shouted: "Hurry up and go with a certain person to find a high place, and I will fight with that Gongsun Zan today." ”

The thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers who had just landed on the shore got Guan Hai's order and followed him to the west.

Before crossing the river, Guan Hai ordered people to go to the north of the river bank to investigate the news, and the Jizhou army of Gongsun Zhan was stationed in the area of Zouping, and the Jizhou army led by Zang Hong was guarded in the east. Guan Hai knew very well that although the two armies were hostile to each other, if they bumped into the Yellow Turban, no one would spare their hands.

The only way to survive in front of them was the area of Suga County, where Liu Bianjun was stationed in the west.

Liu Bian's subjugation of the White Bo Army and the kindness and reuse of the Yellow Turban soldiers who had been attached to him have now spread among the Yellow Turban units, and in the eyes of many Yellow Turban officers and men, Liu Wei is the only force that has so far adopted a soft policy towards the Yellow Turban Army.

Leading thousands of Yellow Turban troops, they marched quickly to the west, and only ran out of the mile distance, Guan Hai heard a shout full of horror from behind him: "General, it's not good!" Gongsun Chan is here! ”

Hearing the shout, Guan Hai turned his head to look north, and sure enough, he saw a billowing cloud of smoke and dust in the distance, and the one who walked in front of the smoke and dust was a white horse galloping on a white horse.

"Fight!" The Jizhou army was getting closer and closer, and seeing that it was impossible to escape, Guan Hai shouted, holding a big knife in his hand, and took the lead in putting on a posture to meet the battle.

Guan Qing and thousands of Yellow Turban Army, who were following behind Guan Hai, also raised their blades one after another, staring at the Jizhou Army that rushed up from the north with nervous expressions.
