Yingyang, located in Yingshui interrupted, north of Yangzhai, south of Fenqiu, is the middle of the vast plain in eastern Henan, rich in products, prosperous people, this place has always been the Han court Jinghua place. After the Ruying Taiping army attacked Yingyang, it used it as an important place to raise salt millet and had a long-term confrontation with the main force of the Han army.

Yingyang's heart is so important, and it is naturally highly valued by Zuo Zhonglang's general Huangfu Song. Since Ma Yuanyi Huibo went south to Yingyang and joined with Runan Pengtuo, Huangfu Song said to Zhu Jun, the right middle general:

"His generation was originally stationed in the Changshe, although he dared little, but he was not worried. It was because of a vain attempt to attack Los Angeles, although it was aggressive, but it was harmless. But now it is not, the other generation went south, gave up attacking Luo, and seemed to retreat, but there was an intention to swim into the sea, and he could not catch it. It travels to Yuzhou, and the elite of the world is ruined, which is my worry. ”

Huangfu Song deserved to be the most first-class military commander of the Han Court, and he was keenly aware of the strategic taboo of Taiping Dao.

Originally, the strategic purpose of Taiping Dao was very clear, that is, to use Nanyang, Ruying, and Hebei as the main attack to carry out a semi-encircled attack on Hanting Luoyang, and wanted to enter Luoyang in one fell swoop and behead Hanting.

But this strategy was so clear that the commanders of the Han Court could see Taipingdao's intentions at a glance. That's why they decided to attack the Ruying Taiping Road, directly cut off the connection between the Taiping Road from the middle, and then broke through each of them.

But now, the strategy of Taiping Dao, or at least Ruying Taiping Dao, has changed dramatically. They no longer continued to attack Luoyang in the north, but began to move south, and even showed signs of swimming around.

This is not good news for Huangfu Song, for Han Ting, the Taiping Road with clear intentions is the best to fight. Didn't they fight Luoyang, then the Han Ting gathered troops around Luoyang, and then annihilated the Taiping Dao that came here in one fell swoop, and completed it in one battle, which was the method of leveling thieves with the least losses.

But now that Taiping Dao has no clear strategic intentions, and even has developed in the direction of Liukou, it will be a headache. As soon as the Han soldiers came, Taiping Road left. In the end, the Han soldiers could only follow the Taiping Road to eat ashes, but the Taiping Road began to sweep the world, even if the Taiping Road was eliminated, it would destroy production, and it would still make the people rebel again, then in the end, the Han Court was really finished.

So when Taiping Dao gave up Yang Zhai, that is, gave up continuing to go north to Luoyang and chose to go south, Huangfu Song was really worried that Ruying Taiping Dao was going to start a game war. Therefore, he directly selected the 8,000 cavalry in the army and prepared to intercept and kill Taiping Dao. Do not let their generations flow and corrupt the world.

But the news from Yingyang once again made Huangfu Song feel that he looked down on these moth thieves, and after these people beat Yingyang, they did not continue to swim, but began to dig ditches and build barricades in this area, wanting to hold on here.

This made Huangfu Song very happy, these moth thieves actually wanted to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Han army in his hands, it was really bold! I don't know if I'm alive or dead!

Since Taiping Dao was preparing for a decisive battle, Huangfu Song naturally no longer rode out lightly, but led the main force of 40,000 Han troops from Yangzhai step by step, and his troops were also quite fast.

If you let the Yellow Turban Army develop here, it won't take long to pull out hundreds of thousands of troops, and even if the decisive battle is won, Yuzhou will be defeated.

And more importantly, the courtiers and ministers in the aftermath are urging Huangfu Song to use troops.

Among the ministers, the most were born in Yuzhou. Now that the hometowns of these ministers are being slaughtered by moths and thieves, there are constantly famous families, and Hainei County is disgraced, how can this make them not in a hurry. The pressure naturally gave the front-line coach Huang Fusong.

It is precisely because of these various reasons that the Han army is vigorous and resolute. On June 23, Taiping Road went south to Yingyang, and on the 24th, Huangfu Song received news that on the 29th, he led the main force of the Han army to chase Taiping Road south.

Once Huangfu Song went south, he went all out to attack the outer camp of Yingyang.

Of course, the fifteen armies of Ruying Taiping Road are not arranged together, and the small city of Yingyang cannot be lined up so much. And because of the convenience of supply, Ma Yuanyi divided the 150,000 army into three parts according to the original system.

Among them, Ma Yuanyi's 20,000 troops, because of their lack of combat strength, were arranged to defend in Yingyang City, and more than 50,000 people in Yingchuan of Bocai were divided into 30 camps, which were densely spread within ten miles north of Yingyang City. In addition, it is the absolute main force of the Runan Taiping Road Peng Tuo Division, and the following Xiaoshuai Wu Ba, Gong Du, He Yi, Liu Pi, Huang Shao, He Man six strong generals, each led more than 10,000 troops, stationed in the northwest of Yingyang City, that is, the west bank of Yingshui.

Because of the long preparation time, each camp is dug three ways, densely arranged wooden fences, bamboo sticks, deep pits, more than a few zhang wide. These small bars are densely packed along the Yingshui River, and from time to time you can see wooden boats and bamboo rafts from Yingyang, transporting supplies for these river bars upstream.

Therefore, when Huangfu Song led the main force of the Han army south to Yingyang on June 30, he had to choose to camp twenty miles away from Yingyang.

I saw that on the eastern Henan Plain of this Ma Pingchuan, there are trenches and wooden villages everywhere, and there are Dingkou who are constantly winning grain, and the entire Yingyang and its surrounding 20 miles have directly become a large military camp.

Huangfu Song's 40,000-strong army set up two huge camps, all of which were stationed on the east bank of Yingshui, directly facing Bocai's 50,000 people.

In the first two days, Huangfu Song did not choose to attack, but took advantage of his cavalry and constantly cruised around the periphery of the battlefield to observe the situation.

In the end, Huangfu Song found that in addition to some of the Taiping Road on the Yingyang battlefield, which was captured with the army, more supplies came from the direction of Runan and Chenguo, and after being raised by the local Taiping Road, they were continuously sent to Yingyang along the Yingshui water.

Huang Fu Song did not have a boat division in his hands, and he could not even break through the defense line of the Taiping Road in the upper reaches of Yingshui, let alone threaten the supply road downstream.

This made Huangfu Song feel a big headache, as long as Yingshui does not stop for a day, this Yingyang will not be in danger of running out of food for a day. He can see the strategic intentions of the Yellow Turban Army.

Yingyang is a small city, built according to the north bank of Yingshui by the river, the city is surrounded by nine miles, one zhang and three feet high, there are 31 wells in it, it can be said that it is small and small, Taiping Road can not form a confrontation with the Han Court at all.

Therefore, Taiping Road chose to defend the infant city on the one hand, increase the city wall, and on the other hand, build a fortress outside the city, and build a pontoon bridge in the river to pass the army on both sides of the river. On the east bank, there are four big stones, twenty-eight small ones, all of which are deep ditches and strong walls, and on the west bank, there are seven big walls and fourteen small stones, all of which stand in the middle of the river. In addition, the pontoon bridge head on both sides of the fort are built, more than 10 cards are built outside the fortification, layer by layer fortification, and there are police.

But the Taipingdao platoon is not without weaknesses, that is, logistics supply.

Don't look at the fact that the downstream is constantly sending supplies to Yingyang, but in fact it can't last. The reason is very simple, as the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan moved north, the Taiping Road that remained in the local area was no longer able to expand, and only managed to maintain the current situation. Runan was okay, the main force of the Han army was annihilated, but on the side of Chen, because the contemporary Chen king Liu Chong was good at fighting, he had formed an overwhelming advantage in the region. Therefore, as long as time continues, the supplies that Runan and Chen Guo Taiping Dao can provide to the Yingyang battlefield on the front line will be less and less.

But this time is too slow, and Huangfu Song wants to speed up this process.

He called Wang Yun, the assassin of Yuzhou, who accompanied the army, and ordered him to take the officials of the various bureaus to Runan and Chen Guo, and called on the local heroes to raise troops and cut off the logistics of Taiping Road.

Wang Yun is from the Taiyuan Wang family, loyal and able to do things, boasting of being loyal and upright, and the eunuch eunuch temple does not share the sky. So when Huangfu Song gave him this highly dangerous task, he didn't think much about it and agreed.

Huangfu Song strengthened his courage and courage, allowed 600 cavalry as soldiers, and personally sent him out of the camp. Then Wang Yun traveled during the day, bypassing the position of Yingyang Taiping Road, and directly interspersed with the rear of Runan.

At this moment, the Han army in Runan is at a low ebb, but it does not mean that the strength of the Han court is not there, on the contrary, the loss is the strength of the Han army, but the strength of Runan is still there, and now it is just a group of dragons without a leader, waiting for Wang Yun, the assassin of Yuzhou, to come and unify the powerful forces. There are not only the world's famous Ruyang Yuan clan of the fourth world and the third prince here, but also the Song Gong Kong clan, one of the two kings and three kings.

The Chinese ritual system pays attention to the rise and destruction of the country, and follows the peerless. That is to say, after winning the world, the descendants of the previous royal family should also be granted titles to show their succession. And what this dynasty pursued from Guangwu was the Song State and the Wei State.

Among them, the Wei Kingdom is in the north of Puyang, Dongjun, and the Ji family continues to be the inheritance of Zhou. And the Kong family is a lineage after Confucius, and was named the Duke of Song, inheriting the inheritance of Shang. As for the inheritance of Xia, which should have been there, it was not posthumously approved, for some reason.

And the fief of the Kong clan of Song Gong is a county, and this family alone can raise more than 3,000 troops, plus other large and small wealthy families in Runan, as long as Wang Yun operates it properly, it can completely make Runan change color overnight.

Wang Yun left with Huang Fu Song's prayers, although Huang Fu Song felt that the possibility of Wang Yun's success was very high, but he did not sit back and wait, after all, Wang Yun's move was only used in the future, and at the moment, Huang Fu Song still had to swing the horse and fight with Taiping Dao.

In the sixth year of Guanghe, on July 2, Huangfu Song, with Sun Jianbu as the vanguard, Fu Xiebu as the successor, and Sanhe Knight as the two wings, began to launch a tentative attack on the Taiping Road on the periphery of Yingyang.

The direction of attack is the side of Bocai.

The Bocai Department had fought with Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song before, and their strength was seriously damaged, but fortunately, as he went south to Yingyang, the remaining Taiping Daoists in Yingchuan came to him one after another. Yes, although the strength is not as good as before, it has also eased up.

Bocai's 50,000 soldiers have fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Han army, and they are more pragmatic and experienced. His arrangement in the northeast of the city was four battalions and twenty-eight small camps. Each battalion is the center of the seven small camps, and they are ready to support the small camps. And the main generals of the four major generals, in addition to Bocai himself, are the three heavy generals under Bocai. They are Li Bin, Yang A, and Zhao Ji.

But although Bocai made preparations, he still didn't clearly realize the power of the cavalry cluster.

When the advance of the Han army attacked the outer front of Bocai, Li Bin, who was in the northeast, was the support center, so he chose seven or eight thousand old brothers to kill, but as soon as he left the camp, he was attacked by the Sanhe cavalry on both flanks of the Han army.

In the vast plains of eastern Henan, no force could stop the charge of thousands of cavalry, not to mention that Li Bin was attacked in the process of support.

In the end, Li Bin fought desperately, and was able to retreat to Daqi with heavy casualties. Although part of the military strength has been preserved, it is no longer able to support the peripheral Xiaoqi.

Therefore, the main infantry corps of the Han soldiers began to attack the seven small fortresses in the northeast of Taiping Road under the cover of cavalry. And Li Bin's army, which was cut off from the support route, could only sit and watch the peripheral Xiaoqi being conquered one after another.

About three days, that is, on the fifth day of July, all the seven armies outside Li Bin were broken, and the Han army killed all his surrendered troops, and Sun Jian's troops alone killed and captured 3,000.

The seventh Yellow Turban Xiaoqi attacked by Fu Xie was the one that held the longest. Therefore, Fu Xie only needs one living mouth in this battle, that is, his army commander and Li Bin's younger brother, Li Si. As a fierce general of the Bocai Department, he was deeply trusted by Bocai, and when he was captured alive by Fu Xie, he scolded Fu Xie more than once, and later his tongue was gouged out, and he was still angry.

In the end, this person was escorted by Fu Xie to Li Bin's big groom, and was dismembered alive in front of the yellow turban soldiers in the bar, and because he was pulled out of his tongue, the wordless torture was even more cruel. Fu Xie just wanted to use this to tell these Yellow Turban Moth thieves that resistance was the end.

Li Bin, who was overwhelmed by the stimulation of his brother's death, raised an army under the monstrous rage, ready to avenge his brother. But he was ambushed by the prepared Han army, Li Bin was killed on the spot, and the rest was besieged outside the camp by cavalry.

On the left side of Li Bin's department is Yang A, after their friendly troops were surrounded, they charged several times to open the Han army encirclement and rescue Li Bin's department, but they were all beaten back by the Han cavalry.

In the end, after holding out in the field for two days, Li Bin's 8,000 troops chose to surrender to the Han soldiers with 150,000 friendly troops on the side.

The former enemy commander was Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, and he was very worried that these moths and thieves would choose to surrender by fraud, so he had the heart to refuse. But he was persuaded by his staff Xin Ping. Xin's family is a wealthy family in Yangzhai, Zhu Jun commanded the army through Yangzhai, and his people entered Zhu Jun's tent counselor machine painting.

Xin commented and persuaded that no matter what, he could let him abandon his weapon first, and then he would deal with it regardless of whether it was true or false.

Zhu Jun obeyed his strategy and ordered the remnants of Li Bin's army to abandon their weapons and surrender. In the afternoon of the same day, Li Bin's remnants handed over all the armor, a total of 1,000 swords, 9,000 wooden spears, 1,000 bows, 400 armor collars, and 30 rhubarb crossbows.

This is the armament situation of Taiping Dao, so how to fight with the Han army in the field.

As soon as Zhu Jun took 8,000 prisoners, he suddenly felt that there was not enough corn. But even if it was enough, he was not willing to waste the military food he had raised for these rebellious thieves. In the end, under Zhu Jun's hint, Sun Jian stepped forward against his will and suggested that it was better to kill him directly, without spending a drop of corn.

Zhu Jun heard Sun Jian's strategy, hid his face and was speechless, and went directly behind the screen, when the generals didn't know what they meant, the staff member Xin Ping explained:

"The lord is merciful, and he can't see such an act, but he knows that Sun Sima said it all for the sake of seeking the country, so he can only avoid it, so let Sun Sima do it."

Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, and then accepted the order with an expressionless face.

As soon as Sun Jian came out of the account, Xin Ping chased after him again, and he whispered:

"There must be a law to kill, otherwise there will be chaos."

Sun Jian turned around, bowed to Xin Ping, and then left in a hurry without taking anyone else.

Seeing Sun Jian's behavior, Xin Ping snorted coldly and returned to the account.

After Sun Jian returned to the camp, he had an evil fire in his stomach and had nowhere to vent. Hot girl, every time like this, once you encounter this kind of dirty work, let him do it. Just because he is the son of a melon farmer, he doesn't care about fame? Hot!

But there is no choice, no matter how angry Sun Jian is, he still has to execute.

He chose a team of 300 leaders, received 900 ring-headed knives, and went to the prisoner camp.

Sun Jian did this, taking ten Yellow Turban captives each time, dividing them into a team of owl leaders, and killing 300 people at a time. In just half a day, 8,000 Yellow Turban Moth thieves were captured, and they were all beheaded. Their corpses were all streamed down the water on a raft, and for miles before and after, the corpses were pillowed together, and the shores were horrified.

After that, Sun Jian and the other leaders didn't eat meat for ten days!
