Chapter 83: Opponent Pound, save Zhang Baiqi
Wei Shi led 3,000 men and horses to the north along the Wuguan Road, and went straight to Shangluo, the important town that Liu Xiong had just occupied.
The location of Shangluo, that is, Shangluo in later generations, is located in the mountains of the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains, the terrain is dangerous and complicated, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the two great powers of Qin and Chu competed for hegemony, and the area around Shangluo is the main battlefield.
Liu Xiong's Nanshan Kou is roughly in the mountainous area north of Shanglu and south of Lishan, and they have about 2,000 people, most of whom are medicine collectors in the deep mountains, and a small part is a hunter in the mountains.
Among the two people, there are nearly 1,000 and a half medicine pickers, and they have an advantage in numbers, but the large number of people does not mean that they are strong, and the ones who really command the Nanshan Kou battle are the hunters with a small number.
Among these hunters, Li Hu is the main one, and although the number of the Li family is less than five hundred, they are extremely brave.
Before Li Hu escaped into Nanshan, he was a subordinate of Sugu Taishou in Hanzhong, and once fought with Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu's rice soldiers in Brazil County.
After Su Gu was killed by Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu, Chen Diao, Zhao Song and others intended to avenge Su Gu, but unfortunately the incident was not secret, Chen and Zhao died in battle, and Li Hu took his clansmen to the north to escape to the deep mountains, and Liu Xiong's department was combined into a unit.
When Wei Shi was killed, he met Li Hu guarding the city.
Liao Hua and Hou Yin saw that there was an enemy blocking the road, and they were immediately full of fighting spirit, and the two teams of men and horses did not retreat on the Wuguan Road, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Hou Yin led a section of Bears Ears Mountain to attack the pass, and fought fiercely with Li Hu for two hours.
Subsequently, Liao Hua led Shang Luo Yellow Turban Lux to kill, this time, Li Hu finally couldn't support it, and urgently asked Liu Xiong for reinforcements, but he didn't want to send three rescuers in a row, and he didn't wait for Liu Xiong to arrive.
In desperation, Li Hu could only order his troops to flee into the mountains and let go of the Wuguan Road for Wei Shijun's passage.
After opening up Shangluo, Liao Hua and Hou Yin continued to march north, and when they reached the source of Luoshui, they happened to intercept Liu Xiong's messenger, but they heard an urgent military situation.
The reason why Liu Xiong did not reinforce Li Hu was because he took the main force of Nanshan Kou and cooperated with Ma Teng's general Pang De to fight Zhang Baiqi.
Hearing this news, Liao Hua and Hou Yin were shocked.
In the area of Funiu Mountain, Fushan Mountain and Bear's Ear Mountain to the east of the Qinling Mountains, it used to be the starting place of the Nanyang Yellow Turban.
After Zhang Mancheng, Han Zhong, Zhao Hong, and Sun Xia, the Yellow Turban commanders, were defeated one after another, the remnants scattered, and in the Jian'an period, there were only three real Yellow Turban remnants left.
Liao Huaju lives in the west and is active in the areas of Shangluo, Wuguan and Fangling.
Hou Yin lived in the east, based on Bear's Ears Mountain, and survived by taking advantage of the gap between Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu, and Liu Biao who could not take care of him.
The last one is Zhang Sheng, also known as Zhang Baiqi, who led more than 10,000 people without belonging, and was between Kunshan and Mianchi.
"Brother Liao, didn't Zhang Baiqi vote for Zhang Yan of Montenegro to fight Hedong County, why did he come back again, didn't he change his mind and want to join forces with us?"
Hou Yin heard the news of his former friend and said excitedly.
"Before the prince left, he deliberately told him about the situation in Hedong County, you forgot, Zhang Sheng is afraid that he will lose the battle, otherwise, he will not be so obedient to turn around the mountain?"
Liao Hua's expression was solemn, and he was worried about Zhang Baiqi's return to the south.
Before swearing to go north, Wei Shi was afraid that Liao Hua and Hou Yin would not be able enough, so he specially summoned two people over and told him about the military situation in the north that he had found in Jingzhou.
In the seventh year of Jian'an, that is, in the past year, Yuan Shaozhi merged with Shi Gaogan, Hedong Taishou Guo Yuan, united with Hedong clan Wei Gu and Fan Xian, and Zhang Baiqi of the Montenegrin Army plotted to attack Hedong, but was broken by Zhong Xuan, Taishou Du Ji, and Andi General Ma Teng.
In this battle, Ma Chao and Pang De led Xiliang Tieqi to kill in Hedong, Guo Yuan was killed, Gao Gan was defeated, and Zhang Baiqi's losses would not be small.
The military situation mentioned by Wei Shi is actually not entirely from Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and the incident of Ma Chao and Pang De's battle in Hedong is a historical record that Wei Shi saw in his previous life.
According to the time node, Zhang Sheng's return to the south this time was to unite with the senior cadres to conquer Hedong, and soon after returning to Kunshan, he was annihilated by Pang De due to isolation.
"Hou Er, you quickly interspersed from Luoshui to the area of Kunshan Mountain, pick up Bai Qi, no matter what, you want to rescue him for me?"
"I'll contact Fu Jun immediately to see if I will send troops to Kunshan first, if the white horse is gone, our Yellow Turban brothers will have one less...., alas!"
When Liao Hua said this, his eyes gradually turned red.
Yellow Turban!
That big era that people can't bear to think about.
Liao Hua's side, there used to be so many Qu Shuai and Lux who fought side by side, but now, there are only two or three of them left.
Shangda.
Wei Shi had just inspected the battlefield where the two armies were torn apart, and the dead and wounded soldiers in his own army had been sent back to Fangling and Shangyong by the young and strong auxiliaries along Wuguan Road.
Those who were killed and wounded in the war were rewarded according to their military merits, and their widows and children were given a good roster of their own Taishou Mansion and taken care of as martyrs.
"Report to the government, Captain Liao and Captain Hou have an urgent military situation to report."
"Bring it on!"
Guo Peng hurriedly stepped forward, took out the bamboo slip from the messenger, and handed it to Wei Shi.
"Zhang Baiqi is surrounded, and he is about to face the white horse general Pang De so soon, God really favors me so much?" Wei Shi's eyes tightened, and the bamboo slip was crushed in his hand.
"Order, Wei Cheng led a group of men and horses to stay in Shangluo, and the rest of the troops followed me straight into Kunshan."
Wei Shi gave an order, the military order echoed in the valley of Wuguan Road, and a group of generals of the three eastern counties under the leadership of their respective tun chiefs and Qu Hou turned from Shangluo to Luoshui and Kunshan to march quickly.
——
Hongnong-gun, Kunshan.
Zhang Sheng's people are sleepy and lacking, and the more than 10,000 soldiers under his command have been lost in half, and the remaining 5,000 troops are also demoralized, and there is no longer the momentum to go north to Hedong County.
When Han Zhong and Zhao Hong were guarding Wancheng, Zhang Sheng was recruited into the army by the Yellow Turban, when he was not yet fourteen years old, and now more than 20 years have passed, and he has also become the leader of the Montenegrin Army from a teenager.
"Pang De is brave, very invincible, if Liao Hua and Hou Yin are in Nanyang, they may send troops to respond, and now they ......"
"Fight!"
"Brothers, moth thieves, cheap seeds, thieves, these are the names given to us by the officers and soldiers on the other side, now, it's time to give them back, today, I, Zhang Sheng, gave up this life, and I also want to ask the sky for justice."
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky!" In despair, Zhang Sheng took the lead in reciting the slogan of the Yellow Turban of that year.
At the foot of the Mt. Kun.
Zhonglang led Pang De to lead the Xiliang cavalry, and the tail of Zhang Baiqi was chasing after him.
In the first battle of Hedong County, Pang De, who was still a captain, personally beheaded Guo Yuan in the chaotic army, and with this merit, Pang De was also promoted to Zhonglang General and was named the Marquis of Tingdu.
This time, Pang De led the Liangzhou heavy cavalry to chase and kill Zhang Baiqi, just to make another contribution and raise the title of Marquis of Ting.
"Huang Tian should stand, these moth thieves, it's really a pity to die?" Pound sneered, and raised his right hand high, ready to swing it down at any moment.
