Chapter 135: Entering Qingzhou and Encountering Zhou Cang
Although Hua Xiong has studied how to refine refined salt.
However, in Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Yanzhou, and Sili Prefecture, salt mines are too scarce.
The production of refined salt has not been able to rise, and can only maintain the domestic demand.
But once Qingzhou is taken down, the sea water is an endless salt mine!
Previously, everyone felt that it was a thankless task to rescue Beihai.
That's why it's opposed.
But after listening to Hua Xiong's analysis, everyone pondered it carefully.
It seems that sending troops to rescue Beihai is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.
You can reap both fame and tangible benefits.
"The words of the master really lit the lamp in my heart!"
Wang Yun sighed.
Now that the decision has been made to rescue Beihai, everyone began to discuss the details of the troops.
Considering the initial decision of Yanzhou, the north must guard against Yuan Shao, and the south must guard against Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.
So Hua Xiong decided to lead only Gao Shun, Jiang Wei, and 10,000 troops to the battle!
Luoyang City Gate.
Xun Yu, Cai Yong, Wang Yun and other ministers of the DPRK and China came to see off Huaxiong.
"Taishi, I wish you a smooth sailing on this expedition!"
Xun Yu smiled.
"Thank you for auspicious words. But when I go, in Luoyang City, I have to ask you. ”
Hua Xiong said with a smile.
"Don't worry, sir." Xun Yu's face was solemn, "Wen Ruoding should do his best to deal with the affairs of the DPRK and China!" ”
"When Xun Yu said this, I was naturally relieved."
Hua Xiong waved his hand at the ministers present, and said to Jiang Wei on the side,
"Gone."
Jiang Wei has now grown into a little adult, heroic and extraordinary.
He said to the herald next to him,
"Troops!"
A heavy horn sounded, and 10,000 wolf soldiers set off from Luoyang City.
Suddenly from the city gate came a few coquettish cries,
"Husband, you should pay attention to your own safety."
"We're all waiting for you at home!"
Hua Xiong looked up and saw that Diao Chan and the girls were on the city wall, looking at him with tenderness.
His heart was so hot that he threw a flying kiss at them.
"You can wait for me at home!"
Hua Xiong slapped the horse's buttocks, and the mount jumped out directly!
……
"My lord, the border of Qingzhou is ahead."
Gao Shun pointed to the mountain peak in the distance and said softly.
After a few days of hurrying, Huaxiong had already led through Yanzhou and successfully arrived at the border of Qingzhou.
Hua Xiong bowed his head slightly, and commanded,
"Pass the order down, enter the Qingzhou boundary, and then rest."
The army quickened its pace and entered Qingzhou.
Just as Hua Xiong was about to order someone to find a place to rest.
One of the spies he sent out hurriedly turned back.
"Back to the general, a large number of Yellow Turban troops suddenly appeared in front, not to mention fifty or sixty thousand people, and those who came are not good!"
Gao Shun's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice,
"Lord, the enemy is aggressive, let's not be careless."
"Just a yellow turban soldier, why bother?"
Hua Xiong smiled,
"Zhang Rao has a million yellow scarves, not the same as losing in my hands?"
But having said that, Hua Xiong was not careless.
He immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for defense and prepare to meet the enemy.
Soon Hua Xiong saw the enemy's traces.
But what surprised him was that the Yellow Turban Army in front of him was completely different from what he had seen before.
The Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Rao, except for a few tens of thousands of elites, was simply a group of homeless people.
There is no military discipline to speak of.
However, the enemy in front of him was strictly disciplined, and maintained a formation during the march, which had the meaning of a regular army.
In a short time, a burly black-faced man stepped out of the enemy army.
"Wu Na Huaxiong, your grandfather Zhou Cang is here, come out and die quickly!"
Hua Xiong was stunned.
He is Zhou Cang, the personal guard who was loyal to Guan Erye in history?
This guy is also a macho man.
When Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou and fought against the two generals Yu Ban and Pang De, he captured Pang De alive with his own hands!
Interesting.
Hua Xiong smiled slightly, "Gao Shun, you go up first and meet this Zhou Cang." ”
"Yes, my lord!"
Gao Shun did not hesitate at all, and rushed out of the battle on horseback with a gun.
"Zhou Cangxiu is going to be rampant, Gao Shun is here to teach you a lesson!"
Gao Shun brandished his spear and stabbed at Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang didn't panic, but laughed,
"Just in time!"
The two fought to one place and fought.
Gao Shun didn't take Zhou Cang to heart at first.
After all, Zhou Cang is just a yellow turban general.
But as soon as the two sides fought, Gao Shun was taken aback.
This week's warehouse is too strong, right?
The movements are agile, the power is infinite, and a pair of big knives are wielded impenetrable!
Thanks to Gao Shun riding a horse, he had a slight upper hand.
With a "bell", Zhou Cang waved away Gao Shun with a knife, and scolded and said,
"What kind of hero are you riding a horse?"
Gao Shun sneered, just wanted to bully himself and continue to attack Zhou Cang.
But behind the barracks, there was the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops, so he had to turn his horse's head and withdraw to the barracks.
Gao Shun turned over and dismounted, came to Huaxiong's side, and gave up his hand unwillingly,
"Lord, why did you ask me to withdraw?"
"Zhou Cang on the other side is very skilled, you are not an opponent."
Hua Xiong chuckled,
"I'm afraid you'll miss something."
Although Gao Shun is brave, he is better at leading troops to fight.
And Zhou Cang on the other side can serve as Guan Yu's guard, which is enough to prove that his strength is amazing.
That's why Hua Xiong asked him to withdraw his troops and come back.
Gao Shun understood that Huaxiong had good intentions, so he didn't say anything anymore.
"It's just my lord, so what now?"
"Let's do nothing, just set up camp."
Hua Xiong said with a smile.
Gao Shun took the order and left.
Soon the wolf soldiers began to camp in place.
They set up tents with improvised fences made of wood.
Zhou Cang on the other side saw all this in his eyes, and he was so angry that he was like thunder.
"Huaxiong, Gao Shun, are you two cowards!"
But he scolded for a while, and Hua Xiong didn't like him at all.
Zhou Cang had no choice but to collect his troops and return to the barracks in a huff, and went straight to the main general's tent.
Inside the tent, a handsome man was flipping through a book.
Seeing Zhou Cang coming in, he couldn't help but be happy.
"Zhou Cang, why are you so angry?"
"Don't say it, that Hua Xiong is so cowardly, he doesn't dare to fight me."
Zhou Cang said angrily.
But hearing him say this, the man opposite didn't mean half of the joy, but showed a solemn expression on his face.
Zhou Cang said a little strangely, "Liao Hua, he Huaxiong is afraid of us, why are you still worried?" ”
Liao Hua glanced at him angrily and said softly,
"If Hua Xiong has a direct battle with us, then it's okay to say."
"But he camped and was in a stalemate with us, which is not good for us."
Zhou Cang was even more puzzled now.
Liao Hua sighed and explained, "You think, now that our Yellow Turban Army is short of food, otherwise it would be impossible for Qu Shuai to besiege Beihai. ”
Zhou Cang suddenly realized,
"We have 50,000 horses, and Huaxiong is only 10,000, so let's just rush over."
"Can you please stop being so reckless."
Liao Hua couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly stopped him.
"Even Qu Shuai Zhang Rao's million yellow scarves were exterminated by Hua Xiong. What do you think of the 50,000 of us? ”
Zhou Cang pondered, it seems to be such a truth.
He muffled, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should we do?" ”
Liao Hua smiled bitterly, "If I knew what to do, I wouldn't be worried." ”
He stood up, his eyes shining through the night, and looked at the brightly lit Huaxiong camp in the distance.
As everyone knows, Hua Xiong is also looking in this direction.
"You say, who is the leader of the Yellow Turban Army on the other side?"
