There is a nameless low earth mountain on the official road leading to Changwu County in Fenggu Pass, at this time on the earth mountain, Cao Cao is looking south with his feet, his face is full of anxious expression, as if he is waiting for someone, and behind him, Guo Jia is half leaning on the wooden car, although his expression is a little tired, but the spirit is much better than a few days ago. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Raising his eyes and looking at Cao Cao, Guo Jiaqiang sat up straight, and persuaded softly: "Don't worry, the lord is not in a hurry, they will come, cough~"

Hearing that Guo Jia was coughing again, Cao Cao hurriedly turned around and returned to Guo Jia's side.

"Bonghyo!"

Picking up the deerskin bag on the ground, Cao Cao handed the water to Guo Jia and asked, "How is Fengxiao?" ”

"Don't worry about me," Guo Jia said with a smile after taking the water bag, "The medicine prescribed by Mr. Zhang is still very effective, but people will feel a little tired after taking it." ”

Seeing that Guo Jia's expression was indeed much better than before, Cao Cao couldn't help but nod again and again: "That's good, that's good, this time it's really thanks to Sun Jian." ”

The Mr. Zhang that Guo Jia said was the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing.

Zhang Zhongjing, the famous machine, the word Zhongjing, one of the three great doctors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a native of Henan, later served in Changsha as a Taishou, lived in Changsha for a long time, so also known as Zhang Changsha, the author of the book "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", is the founder of Chinese clinical medicine, Guo Jia is to take the medicine he prescribed, the condition can improve, Sun Jian can visit Zhang Zhongjing, but also accidentally learned.

It turned out that before the Yellow Turban Uprising, typhoid fever was rampant in several counties under the jurisdiction of Liu Yi, the king of Xiapi, and the world thought that there was a plague, which made the people panic, so Liu Yi posted a list of articles, whoever can cure the plague will be rewarded with a thousand taels, Zhang Zhongjing immediately rushed to Xiapi after learning about it, but he was not for the bounty of the thousand taels, but for the treatment of the disease and saving people.

When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty eunuchs and relatives fought for power and profit, and caught up with the famine for many years, the people were not able to make a living, as the saying goes, "after the catastrophe there must be a great epidemic", only when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty reigned, there were five major plagues, resulting in many people dying due to illness, and even some counties and towns formed a terrible situation of ten rooms and nine emptiness.

Zhang Zhongjing's family was originally a famous family in Henan, and there were more than 200 people in the direct family alone, but after a few epidemics, there were less than 30 people left in the whole clan, of which ninety percent died of typhoid fever. And Zhang Zhongjing also wanted to travel along the way, so he agreed, so that Guo Jia could get in touch with Zhang Zhongjing.

"Hey~"

Hearing Cao Cao mention Sun Jian, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh secretly, it turned out that Cao Cao was grateful to Sun Jian for letting Zhang Zhongjing treat Guo Jia's illness, so he told Sun Jian today's plan, Sun Jian knew that after the plan, he naturally would not sit back and wait for the opportunity to slip away, so he followed Cao Cao to this nameless earth mountain, but at this time Sun Jian was not on the earth mountain, but at the foot of the earth mountain waiting for the return of the horse.

Although Guo Jia's short sigh was not loud, Cao Cao still heard it, and he also knew that Guo Jia was against sharing this important plan with Sun Jian, but it was just because the identity of the master and slave was not easy to say, but Cao Cao was helpless to do this, and he was not willing to share this plan with Sun Jian, but he had to do it, first Sun Jian asked his subordinates to treat Guo Jia, and the effect was not bad, Cao Cao was sincerely grateful to Sun Jian; Second, Cao Cao also knew that his own strength was insufficient, and if he carried out this plan alone, he was afraid that the losses would be too heavy, so he called Sun Jian to act together.

What exactly is the plan that both Cao Cao and Guo Jia attach so much importance to? It turned out that Cao Cao was going to ambush He Man here, and the second thing Guo Jia calculated that night when he broke Yingchuan was that He Man would inevitably abandon the peak and valley pass and go to Zhangjiao in Jizhou after Yingchuan was lost, so he ambushed He Man on the nearest official road to Jizhou.

It stands to reason that He Man will not be able to reach Jizhou, because according to the layout of the war, the Han army has blocked the roads from Fenggu Pass and Yingchuan to Jizhou in the front, so the Yellow Turban Army will form between Yingchuan and Jizhou, and only Pinglingdu is left with the situation that can be walked, but this situation of the Yellow Turban Army was formed under the help of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and now Cao Cao took the initiative to withdraw, and there was a loophole in the army that surrounded Fenggu Pass, and He Man forcibly broke through from this loophole.

So, if Cao Cao didn't withdraw to ambush He Man, or even join Sun Jian to defend He Man, wouldn't he be able to escape? Of course not, as I said before, Fenggu Pass is not a big pass, and the garrison of 80,000 troops has already made the available land in Fenggu Pass very few, because the grain in Fenggu Pass is very small, only enough for 80,000 troops to support about half a month, although He Man later sent troops to support Yingchuan with more than 10,000 people, so that the defenders of Fenggu Pass dropped to about 70,000, but the food is still stretched, if it is stationed for a long time, it will definitely have to surrender in the end because of the lack of food, so He Man will inevitably make a desperate attempt to break through.

Guo Jia took these circumstances into account to calculate that He Man would abandon the Fenggu Pass, and even calculated the direction of the Dingping army's breakthrough, which must be Cao Cao's defense area, because even if Cao Cao united Sun Jian, the strength was only less than 20,000 people, and at the same time, Cao Cao's defense area was still far away from the defense area of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. At that time, He Man, who was eager to break through, would definitely launch a fierce attack on the Cao army desperately, and even if the Cao army defended it, it would definitely suffer heavy losses.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Guo Jia did not let Cao Cao go back to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to report the battle situation, but made a detour to this dirt mountain to ambush He Man, and according to Guo Jia's plan at the beginning, Cao Cao will face the Yellow Turban Army after breaking through the blockade of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army must have dropped to the lowest by then, and after Cao Cao's ambush is killed, it will definitely be defeated.

It can be said that Guo Jia has taken into account everything that can be taken into account, and is waiting for He Man to enter the ambush circle.

At this time, like Cao Cao on the top of the mountain, Sun Jian was also waiting for He Man's arrival.

Pacing back and forth at the foot of the mountain a little anxiously, Sun Jian is now very much looking forward to Tanma to bring him good news, but this has been waiting for two hours, Sun Jian still has not waited for the arrival of Tanma, which makes him more and more anxious.

Also anxious is Sun Ce.

Picking up the spear poking on the ground, Sun Ce, who couldn't wait, hugged his fist at Sun Jian and said, "Father, don't wait for the horse, let me investigate." ”

Sun Ce, who was impatient, this was the third time he had asked Sun Jian for his life, and the first two times he got the answer was one word "wait".

"Hizz~"

Hearing Sun Ce's plea again, Sun Jian took a breath and finally nodded, but before he could say the order, the sound of the horse's hooves came from afar.

"Report ~ Lord Qiqi, He Man's department was ambushed by Liu Bei's department in Changting twenty miles ahead, and has now been diverted to Qiwu County."

After hearing Tanma's reply, Sun Jian was stunned, and when Cao Cao and Guo Jia knew that Liu Bei had actually ambushed the Yellow Turban Army first, they were even more shocked that their jaws were about to drop.

"Hey~"

Yang Tian sighed, and Guo Jia, who was lying on the wooden cart, couldn't help but sigh: "Thousands of calculations, but a Liu Bei was exposed." ”

Guo Jia was really annoyed in his heart at this time, he really didn't expect that someone was actually counted in front of him, and at this moment, Guo Jia really promoted Liu Bei to a position worthy of attention.

Twenty miles north of Tushan, Liu Bei was organizing people to clean up the battlefield at this time.

"Lord," came to Liu Bei and arched his hand, Jiang Jin said in a loud voice: "He Man has already led his troops to Benqi Wu County, is our army pursuing?" ”

This Jiang Jin was originally a leader in the Yellow Turban Army, and was a subordinate of Bu Ji, and later Liu Bei borrowed troops from Gongsun Zhan when he met Jiang Jin who was fleeing, when Jiang Jin led hundreds of deserters to escape from the territory of Zhuo County, after meeting Liu Bei, Jiang Jin thought that he would die, but Jiang Jin was a hard bone, and did not surrender as soon as he saw Liu Bei and Liu Bei's borrowed army, but chose to fight to the end, but he was exhausted and his subordinates, Before any strong resistance could be formed, Liu Bei led the troops to disperse, and most of the hundreds of people were captured.

After being captured, Jiang Jin was bent on death, but who was Liu Bei, it was the existence of the Eastern Han Dynasty that could fool and buy people's hearts, and under Liu Bei's patient persuasion all the way, Jiang Jin finally took refuge in Liu Bei and became Liu Bei's right-hand man.

"Went to Benqi Wu County? Then let them go, and the pursuit will not be necessary. ”

As the words fell, Liu Bei glanced at the north with great meaning, and then patted Jiang Jin's shoulder and said: "Captain Jiang, tell the brothers to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and then let's hurry back to report the results of the battle in Yingchuan City, but tell the brothers to keep their mouths shut, even if this battle is bound to let the two generals know, it must be able to hide it for as long as long." ”

Sun Jian does not belong to the battle sequence of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, so after the end of the battle of Yingchuan, he does not have to go back to report anything to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, but Liu Bei and Cao Cao are different, they have to go back to report, but they have been delayed for seven days by detouring here to ambush, although these seven days can be explained by the siege of the city, the reorganization of the army, etc., Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun will not blame them for anything, but if they directly said that they were going to ambush He Man, then the meaning is very different, besides, Cao Cao has not been ambushed, and Liu Bei, It only ambushed Horman's rear army.

"No," after hugging his fists at Liu Bei, Jiang Jin said again: "Lord, there is something unknown to my subordinates, the Yellow Turban thieves have come to us, and they are already sleepy and tired, why don't we intercept and kill their brigade, but only their rear army?" ”

Looking at Jiang Jin, who looked puzzled, Liu Bei said earnestly: "People, in a desperate situation, no one can predict how much potential will explode, we only have about 10,000 people now, we can't afford to fight, so intercepting and killing their rear team carrying baggage is our best choice." ”

"The wisdom of the lord is not as good as his subordinates."

complimented Liu Bei at the right time, Jiang Jin turned his head to arrange the cleaning of the battlefield, but as soon as he turned around, Liu Bei stopped him again.

"Captain Jiang," after calling Jiang Jin, Liu Bei said in a low voice: "You have to check carefully, where did the news of He Man's escape from here come from, this is very important to us." ”

It turned out that the plan to ambush He Man did not come from Liu Bei's head, but someone secretly put a silk book in Liu Bei's tent, and until now Liu Bei has never been able to figure out who the person who delivered the news to him was.

"No!"

Nodding heavily, Jiang Jin bowed and took two steps back before turning around and leading people to clean up the battlefield.

After cleaning the battlefield, Liu Bei did not delay, and immediately led his troops towards Fenggu Pass, and on the way back, no one paid attention to it, and a white dove flew away from the tail of their team.
