Among the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, the Licheng where Liu Jianzhi is located, the closest Yellow Turban Army is the Yuancheng and Fuyun of the troops in Lu County, Jibei, and there are many subordinates of these two Yellow Turban Qu Marshals, counting the old and weak, they can probably gather 150,000 or 60,000 people.

Although among these 150,000 or 60,000 people, there may be less than 50,000 who can really be regarded as young and middle-aged, but in Yuancheng and Fuyun, they do not have a clear concept of their own strength.

The successive victories and the rapid expansion of the ranks have made them think that they have become the dominant ones enough to dominate one side.

Especially recently, they have had a great track record.

With the support of Xu He's headquarters, the armies of Fuyun and Yuancheng broke through the native Wu fort of the seven well-dressed giants in the territory of Jibei Kingdom, and gained a lot of gains, and their power grew a lot, and then they conquered Lu County, the seat of Jibei Kingdom.

Liu Luan, the king of Jibei, because of Liu Hong's policy of opening the palace of the princes and kings, had previously recruited more than 2,000 princes and kings in the northern kingdom of Jibei, and personally commanded and practiced skillfully, and was quite complacent.

But at this moment, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Uprising broke out in full swing!

The huge Yellow Turban Army swept through the counties and counties in Qingzhou, and absorbed a large number of local gangsters and displaced people, becoming an extremely powerful and shocking rebel force.

The 2,000 elite soldiers of Liu Luan, the king of Jibei, were swept away by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban before they could be drilled, and the entire army was beaten to pieces.

But Liu Luan, the king of Jibei, had good luck, although his soldiers and horses were completely wiped out, he himself was not killed by the Yellow Turban Army, and he escaped from Lucheng early at the last moment.

I have to say that the princes and kings of the states have no other skills, and they are the top masters of the Han Dynasty in terms of escape, in recent years, once a disaster occurs in the place of the Han Dynasty, the losses of the princes and kings of all walks of life may be very large, but most of the princes and kings can save their lives.

But although the king of Jibei saved his life, but the prime minister of Jibei himself, but bravely righteous, was captured alive by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and then used his head to pay tribute to Huang Tian, his own body was hung high in the city gate of Luxian County, and has not been taken down so far.

After pacifying Lu County, Xu He's main force of the Yellow Turbans moved to the direction of Beihai to help Sima Ju continue to attack Beihai.

As for the two armies of Yuancheng and Fuyun, they continued to camp in Lu County to consolidate their strategic achievements in Jibei.

It wasn't until Liu Jian's scouts spread the false news that there were 500,000 stones of grain and grass in Lichengtun that these two uneducated Yellow Turban leaders began to be calm.

500,000 stone grains and grass is definitely not a small amount for them!

It's just why did Liu Jian transfer so much grain and grass from Jizhou to come here?

But after thinking about it carefully, Fuyun and Yuancheng also probably figured it out, maybe Liu Jian allocated so much grain and grass here to wait for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion to appease the people and settle the people?

No wonder he has not moved since he arrived in Licheng, it turned out to protect this grain and heavy load.

I heard that Liu Jian has been in Jizhou Tuntian for a while, and the warehouses and warehouses in various places are full of grain, and it is reasonable that he can bring 500,000 stone grain and grass to Qingzhou, and he is fully capable of taking this grain and grass.

However, Sima Ju and Xu He, the two supreme commanders who were responsible for coordinating the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, now ordered that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans not be allowed to launch an attack on Licheng.

The military orders of the two Daqu marshals are here, should we listen to them?

Don't listen to it, of course!

Don't look at Fuyun and Yuancheng are the kind of Qu Shuai who were born at the bottom and have a low level of education, but they also have a little ink in their stomachs, and at critical moments, they can also pop up a few decent new words.

For example, at this time, Fuyun and Yuancheng knew a very fashionable saying in ancient times, called "The general will not be subject to the life of the king outside." ”

Sima Ju and Xu He, the two Daqu marshals, are not here, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban does not have very detailed military regulations and military discipline, except for Sima Ju and Xu He's headquarters soldiers and horses, most of the troops led by other Qu Shuai are copied from the system of the Han army, including the number of Qutun, and the military law of the non-commissioned officers is only copied from a rough idea......

However, most of these military laws were used by the commanders to restrain the soldiers, and Sima Ju and Xu He wanted to restrain other commanders, but there was no specific charter.

Of course, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was originally a large army formed by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, the gang leaders, the peasants, and the rogues from all walks of life in the eastern border over the years!

Each ministry was originally divided into different subordinates, but because of the needs of the current situation, the two strongest Qu Shuai were introduced as commanders, but in fact, Sima Ju and Xu He really did not have a strong ruling method for the other Qu Shuai.

Each Qu Shuai is used to being at ease, except when necessary, he needs to follow the unity of Sima Ju and Xu He in general strategy, and he acts separately at other times.

So, the two Qu Shuai of Fuyun and Yuancheng made up their minds!

Taking advantage of the fact that the other Qu Shuai was far away from Liu Jian, it was better for the two of them to act first and capture Licheng, which could not only be regarded as pulling out the thorn in the flesh for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, but also easily scooping up hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass from him.

Even if Liu Jian is a famous general of the Han Dynasty, I heard that he only has 10,000 people under his command, and even counting the old and weak, there must be 150,000 or 60,000 people.

So, Fuyun and Yuancheng decided to quietly set off from Lu County, drive troops to Licheng, and take advantage of Liu Jian's strength before he reacted, give him a little bit of a good taste, and catch him off guard.

But alas, these two people think things a little simpler.

Especially in terms of "catching him off guard", with the quality of the Yellow Turban soldiers under them, it is simply impossible to do it.

More than 100,000 people set off from Lu County to Licheng, how could Liu Jian's scouts not notice such a large-scale migration?

If the Yellow Turban soldiers under their command were all elite soldiers, with excellent military qualities and the ability to march quickly, perhaps there was still hope for a sneak attack on Licheng......

The question is, is it possible for an army composed of the Yellow Turban Army, which is mixed with good and bad, to do it?

The soldiers and horses of Fuyun and Yuancheng walked out of Lu County less than a hundred miles, and Liu Jian already knew their movements.

I didn't expect that I had just spread the fake news of 500,000 stone grains and grass, and someone would send it to the door so soon!

It's good, it's good.

In Liu Jian's view, this is taking the initiative to come to the door to be slaughtered.

Harvest him first and establish his military might.

……

The distance between Licheng and Lu County is not far, but it needs to be bypassed the Taishan Mountains, Licheng is in the north of the Taishan Mountains, and Lu County is in the south.

Although there is no need to go over the mountains, it will take a lot of time for the Yellow Turban Army to get around this mountain range.

And with this period of time and the favorable terrain of Mount Tai, Liu Jian made sufficient preparations.

The Yellow Turban Army thought that Liu Jian was cowering in Licheng and did not move, but in this first battle, Liu Jian wanted to steal out of the city to fight them!

……

In the night, on the side of the city wall, the flames in the brazier flickered under the strong wind, and a few crows crows sounded in the forest not far away, adding a bit of strange atmosphere to this quiet empty field.

Today, 3,000 entrenched sergeants assembled at the bottom of the city to prepare for their first military mission.

After five days of marching, the tens of thousands of people in the front of Fuyun and Yuancheng had arrived at the northern corner of Mount Tai not far away in the evening.

And their task is to defeat these tens of thousands of living forces in one fell swoop.

The three thousand sergeants trapped in the camp stood straight in place, in order to keep quiet, they all bit a wooden stick in their mouths, and they were quietly waiting for Gao Shun's order.

The moon is dark and the stars are scarce, and this time of day is the time when people are most tired and tired.

According to Gao Shun's calculations, at this time to go to the foot of Mount Tai to attack the Yellow Turban Army, when the troops arrived, the sky should be slightly bright, and at that time, their own vision will not be affected by the darkness, and most of the other party's soldiers should still be asleep, and after a night, the soldiers guarding the camp have begun to slack.

Gao Shun tightened the neckline of his robe, put his hand on the handle of the ring head knife, felt the cold touch at the handle, and felt a slight determination in his heart.

In the light of the brazier, the eyes of all the trapped camp sergeants converged on Gao Shun's body.

Liu Jian gave Gao Shun a promise, and he did it.

These 3,000 trapped camp sergeants are equipped with the best armaments transported from Jizhou, there are 400 pairs of Xuanjia alone, and the ring-headed knives and shields they carry are also made of the best iron in Jizhou.

"General Zuo said, if you win this battle, you will appreciate the grain, the meat, and the wine!"

Gao Shun's voice was small, and only some of the people closest to him could hear it, but soon they exchanged information with each other, spreading Gao Shun's words throughout the army.

"This battle is a sneak attack, but also a surprise attack, there is no cavalry, we are the first, the white army is the last, if you can't win, I'm afraid the credit will be all the white soldiers!"

Gao Shun looked around at everyone present:

"And the state boy, not afraid of bloodshed, but afraid of being despised, if this battle is won, we will be the first elite in the hands of General Zuo in the future! In the near future, the people of the whole Hebei will be frightened when they hear the name of our trapping, and no one dares to face the edge. ”

"I believe that day will come, do you believe it?"

"Faith!"

The voices of the responses were flat, but it was not difficult to hear that the soldiers' tones were full of firmness.

Gao Shun nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go!" ”

A shrill whistle sounded softly in the darkness.

Three thousand sergeants trapped in the camp walked neatly onto the dirt road, and in front of them were more than 800 light soldiers armed with halberds and wearing leather armor.

At the rear of the light formation, two hundred archers with longbows were closely followed, Gao Shun led more than four hundred heavily armed armorers, with shields and swords in the middle, and the rest of the sergeants followed.

Soon, the sergeants of the trapped camp were hidden in the darkness, their marching speed was fast, but their movements were surprisingly light.

The soldiers of the trapped camp rushed towards the location of the Yellow Turban Army at an astonishing speed.

And in the city, the Bai Yu Shi led by Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan were watching the trapped camp go first.

They are waiting for Liu Jian's general order, and they will set off in a short time.
