On the way to Xiapi, Que Xuan rode triumphantly on his horse, followed by nearly 10,000 rebels in various costumes and poor weapons.

Originally, Que Xuan only had a few thousand people, but after seizing the East China Sea Kingdom, he coerced many people to join in to strengthen his momentum.

Although Que Xuan's previous rebellion was a rebellion, most of them were people in the counties who did not learn or were lazy, they were already idle, and they had no loyalty, and they got Que Xuan's promises and benefits, and followed the rebellion, if they succeeded, there were naturally many benefits, and if they failed, they would ...... As long as you don't die on the spot, it's a big deal to change places and continue to be idle.

Among them, there were also some deserters from Yuan Shu before, these deserters were lucky enough to escape the pursuit, hiding in the mountains and forests as a disaster place, and then heard that Que Xuan rebelled, thinking that it was profitable, and took the opportunity to defect.

In fact, Que Xuan has long had the intention of rebellion, and has been planning for this day for a long time, but Xuzhou has been in turmoil before, Cao Cao ran away with Lu Bulai, Lu Bu died Yuan Shulai, and he has not had a chance.

It just so happened that the plague caused panic in the hearts of the people, and Que Xuan took the opportunity to spread rumors everywhere, and taught the children to sing nursery rhymes, implying that he was the chosen son and destined to return.

The people are virtuous and foolish, especially in the villages outside the city, most of them are illiterate and fear the gods, so Que Xuan also used these fallacies to deceive some people who did not know the truth.

The timing of Que Xuan's rebellion was very good, just in time when Shangpi and Guangling were busy because of the plague, and the location of their rebellion was chosen in the East China Sea.

The location of the East China Sea State is also a few important places, and there are no heavy troops to guard it, so it is prepared to occupy it by surprise.

As the so-called people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, Que Xuan went down to the East China Sea in a war, and thought that all the cities in Xuzhou were like this, and only rested for a few days before leading troops to march to Xiapi.

In Que Xuan's heart, the people of Xiapi suffered from the plague, and they must hate Liyi and Xu Sheng, as long as he leads the troops, the people in the city will inevitably mutiniate and surrender.

"How far is it from Xiapi?"

Now it is autumn, and the autumn sun is more abundant than the summer, which makes Que Xuan's heart irritable.

When the soldiers on the side heard Que Xuan's question, they hurriedly squeezed out a flattering smile and replied: "This place is still a day's journey away from Xiapi, and with the divine power of the saint, you can have a banquet in Xiapi City at this time tomorrow!" ”

Because Que Xuan claimed to be the Son of Heaven, his subordinates called him Shengshang.

Que Xuan was proud of being flattered by his own soldiers, and grinned: "When you break through Xiapi tomorrow, you will be rewarded!" ”

The soldiers were overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Holy Lord!" ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw dust on the western road, and the faint sound of a trumpet came.

Que Xuan frowned, and said to the pro-soldier just now: "Quickly send scouts to check!" ”

The soldiers did not dare to delay, and hurriedly went down to give orders.

After the soldiers left, Que Xuan ordered the army to stop and wait in formation.

Although I don't know who is coming for the time being, in Xuzhou, the only person who can mobilize soldiers and horses is Koji, so even if the military horses that come are not Koyi himself, they are also Koyi's subordinates.

Que Xuan thought for a moment and said to a confidant: "Let the new people join the front line!" ”

Although Que Xuan was arrogant, he was not stupid, and knew that Koyi cherished his reputation, so he sent people to line up the people in front of the battle, thinking that they were blocking, and his core soldiers were behind to cover up.

It didn't take long for the scout who went to inquire about the news to return quickly and said loudly: "Report, a large number of Xuzhou soldiers were found ahead, the number is about thousands, and the banner is Guan, Ho!" ”

"Tube? What? ”

Que Xuan doesn't fully understand the lower generals of the Koji Yi account, and only knows Zhang He, Tai Shici, Zhao Zhao, Xu Sheng and other famous people.

"Could it be Guan Hai?"

Que Xuan remembered that when Lu Yi first arrived in Beihai, he seemed to have subdued a Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, whose name was Guan Hai.

"Yes, it must be this person!"

Que Xuanyi thought that the worry in his heart was much smaller, how much ability can a yellow turban and a rabble have?

As for the other general surnamed He, he has never even heard of his name, and he is also incompetent, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Que Xuan beat his horse to the front of the battle, and shouted to the newly joined people: "I am ordered by heaven to save Li Shu, the thieves in front of me, dare to stop my heavenly army, it is really against the sky, I will be punished by heaven, and I will never be able to turn over!"

You are my protector, blessed by the sky, the sword is difficult to hurt, just try your best to rush and kill, wait to kill the enemy army, all rewarded! ”

The people in front originally trembled when they saw the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, but when they heard Que Xuan's agitation in the name of God, their fear suddenly decreased, and their eyes became much more fanatical.

Que Xuan looked at these people with satisfaction and returned to the rear again.

On the opposite side, Guan Cheng and He Man led 5,000 horses to come, and saw the formation in front of them from a distance, Guan Cheng said to He Man: "I heard that the thieves are coming with the people, if the expectation is good, they will definitely drive the people in front to block our army."

Later, I and the general will divide the troops to attack it, the general will lead the troops to attack the left side of the thief, I will lead the troops to attack the right side of the thief, let go of the people on the front, and the thieves will be defeated! ”

Although He Man was brave but not good at commanding, he nodded and replied after listening to the arrangement of Guan Cheng: "Just follow the general's words!" ”

The two led the army to the front, stopped a few hundred meters away from the rebels, Guan Cheng stepped forward with a knife and shouted: "Bold rebels, dare to bewitch the public, openly rebel, and even falsely claim to be the Son of Heaven, the crime is punished, if you put down your weapons and surrender, you can avoid death!" ”

On the other side, Que Xuan did not go out of the battle, but only replied loudly in the formation: "Bold rebels, dare to stop my heavenly army, and do not dismount quickly, otherwise it will cause the wrath of the heavens, and thunder will slash it." ”

Coincidentally, the originally sunny weather actually floated a large black cloud when Que Xuan spoke, as if it was really going to rain.

Que Xuan was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately shouted loudly: "The punishment of heaven has arrived, and you will not get off the horse to be bound, but when?" ”

And the people who were bewitched by Que Xuan saw that the sky really gave birth to a vision, and they were even more convinced of Que Xuan's words.

Guan Cheng and He Man were the opposite, they didn't take Que Xuan's words to heart at all, and when they saw that they still didn't forget to encourage the people to fight at this time, they were furious in their hearts.

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's intentions, so they nodded, only to hear He Man shout: "Dog thief, take your life!" ”

He Man shouted, and the two immediately agreed that He Man would lead troops to the left side of the rebel army, and Guan Cheng would lead troops to attack the right side.

On the other side, Que Xuan saw that the Xuzhou soldiers were attacking, and hurriedly ordered the people in front to resist.

The Xuzhou soldiers, who were originally charged, suddenly divided the team in half very tacitly, one to the left and the other to the right, which made the thousands of people in front of Que Xuan useless.

Guan Cheng and He Man bypassed the people in front of them on the left and right, and quickly rushed into the two ribs of the rebels.

At this time, the shortcomings of Que Xuan's poor command were completely exposed, and he only knew that he was riding on a horse and shouting loudly, "Resist!" "I don't know how to command and dispatch at all.

Guan Cheng and He Man had already led troops into the hinterland of the rebels, and as soon as they came into contact with the rebels, they suffered a large number of casualties.

At this time, He Man stared at Que Xuan with his eyes, vowing to capture him in front of the battle to repay the kindness of his acquaintance!
