The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 411 The bird enters the cage
Under the banner, the embroidered emissary in embroidered clothes looked at Wen Chou with a rather unkind expression.

Xie Du is the Silver Seal Embroidered Clothes Envoy of the Hejian Kingdom. He was originally in charge of a county, but after the Yellow Turban Army entered Jizhou, Jian Shuo recruited Yan Liang and Wen Chou to attack the main force of the Yellow Turban Army and at the same time recruited some embroidered clothes emissaries. Come as an adjutant to monitor the army, Xie Du is one of them.

Jian Shuo didn't trust the officers of the Jizhou Army at all. Wang Fen's rebellion was almost a certainty, and Wang Fen's cronies such as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan were even more distrustful.

If it wasn't for the Yellow Turban Army's sudden invasion of Jizhou, and King Wuhuan Qiao also went south from Youzhou to attack Jizhou. was thrown into prison.

Xie Du moved his horse forward a few steps, and said to Wen Chou in a deep voice.

"Wen Sima, I said earlier that the march was slow. You and Yan Sima said that the 'moth thief' is powerful. The terrain here is undulating, and there may be ambushes, so you need to march slowly to prevent accidents..."

Xie Du glanced to the left and right, his tone suddenly became sharper, and he raised his tone a little.

"Now that the scouts have dispersed, and the traces of the 'Moth Thief' have been found, there is no ambush this time, and the enemy army is right in front of us. Why is Wen Sima still hesitating and shrinking?"

"Could it be that Wen Sima and Yan Sima have other thoughts in their hearts?"

Xie Du crossed his eyebrows and raised his eyes, stood up and pressed the knife, stared at Wen Chou, and asked in a cold voice.

The embroidered clothes envoys in Jizhou are not incompetent rats. After the establishment of embroidered clothes envoys in various locations, the first to be censored are of course leading generals such as Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

It is not extremely difficult to find out the situation of Yan Liang and Wen Chou. The embroidered clothes messenger naturally also learned of the change in the attitude of Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

"Wen Sima may have seen something that he shouldn't have seen before, and felt compassion for those thugs..."

Xie Du's voice was cold, as cold as ice. At this time, Xie Du was only three steps away from Wen Chou, and the heads of the horses on both sides were almost touching each other.

"But I hope Wen Sima remembers one thing..."

"This Jizhou is still the Jizhou of the big man after all, and this world is still the world of the big man after all. Even if the little bandits are rampant for a while, they will never be rampant forever!"

"Wen Sima is the army Sima of the Han Dynasty, and he is a citizen of the Han Dynasty. Wen Sima's people live in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and they are also the people of the Han Dynasty."

A stern look suddenly appeared in Wen Chou's eyes, and fierce murderous intent rose from Wen Chou's body.

Cheng Feng's face was stern, and he also stared coldly at Xie Du who was slowly riding his horse. Like Wen Chou, he didn't say a word.

The birds flew up from the forest, as if they were disturbed by the scouts fighting not far away, and then several roars of beasts came from afar.

Xie Du reined in the horse beside the ashen-faced Wen Chou, turned his head to look at Wen Chou, and lowered his voice.

"They killed officials and rebelled, cholera states and counties, and committed a lot of crimes. They are no longer the people, but thugs, but rebels."

"Wen Sima is a smart person. Wen Sima should be very clear about what to do and what not to do. I can turn a blind eye to what happened before. I just hope that Wen Sima doesn't need me to remind him again."

"Blow the horn."

Wen Chou's face was ashen, he did not tilt his head, and gave the order in a cold voice.

Cheng Feng raised the horn and blew the horn vigorously.

"Woo——————"

Hundreds of cavalrymen of the Han army heard the order, and they all drove their horses forward. Wen Chou pulled the reins violently, and the bay red horse under his seat neighed, turned around, and galloped forward. In this way, it was reclassified into the cavalry formation and relisted in the leading position.

……

On a hill next to the official road, Xu You rode a white horse quite leisurely, as if the enemy army that the scouts came to report earlier did not exist at all.

On the official road, vehicles loaded with goods drove forward slowly. All the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army looked nervous and looked back from time to time. They had already learned that there was a Han army not far away. The cavalry set their sights on them.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao led a group of cavalry and stood quietly behind Xu You, but their expressions were not as confident as Xu You's, but worried.

Neither of them knew what Xu You was going to do. Originally, this supply team could have evacuated first yesterday.

But Xu You let the people transfer first, and even delayed for a while before letting the transportation team set off, and he didn't seem to dispatch troops to stop the advance of the Han army.

Now there are only more than [-] cavalry with Xu You, but none of the infantry.

The same number of Hu cavalry met with the same number of Han cavalry, and almost all the defeated ones were Hu cavalry. Martial arts, in fact, are not inferior to those nomads on the grasslands, and even surpass them.

Xu An's current armaments are barely able to arm the main force and some reserves under his command. Naturally, there is not much armament for these Huqi, and most of them still use their own equipment.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou have more than [-] cavalry. Although Jizhou belongs to the interior, the cavalry in the interior is generally much weaker than the cavalry in the border counties. However, in order to guard against Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun in Youzhou, they went south to attack In the hinterland of Jizhou, the generals under the command of Yan Liang and Wen Chou are almost all elites. With only two or three thousand Hu cavalry, it is absolutely impossible to stop the assault of these Han cavalry.

The normal tactics should be to use the mobility of Hu cavalry to contain the elite cavalry of the Han army, and use infantry to block the advance of the Han army. As long as it can be delayed until everyone completes crossing the river, it is a victory.

If it is head-to-head, using Hu Qi to confront the Han cavalry head-on is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Although Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were conceited and brave, they were not arrogant enough to lead these Hu cavalry to defeat the elite cavalry of the Han army led by generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou despite such a disparity in strength.

"Report to the envoy of God that the enemy general Wen Chou personally led the cavalry to arrive. Our scout team was defeated and the defense line has been retracted. The enemy army is less than four miles away from our army!"

A scout flying horse with a command flag on his back rushed over, but before he could get close, he shouted loudly.

Xu You's complexion didn't change, and he still looked confident. In fact, without the scout reporting, Xu You had already seen the red banner that appeared on the official road not far away.

At the same time, on the official road, the Yellow Turban Army's luggage team also discovered the banner of the Han Army, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who escorted the luggage were naturally panicked.

Xu You unhurriedly raised the binoculars and observed the Han army ranks not far away. Sure enough, a familiar figure appeared in the lens.

Xu You is very familiar with Yan Liang and Wen Chou. As a shepherd of Jizhou, Wang Fen intends to win Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but Yan Liang and Wen Chou are not from aristocratic families. All the matters were handed over to Xu You to deal with.

Xu You did what he liked, and made friends with Yan Liang and Wen Chou. I dare not say that he knows his character and military strategy well, but he is quite familiar with it, and Xu You has a clear understanding of the ills in the Jizhou Army. It's also why he dared to fight Yan Liang and Wen Chou this time with only more than [-] Hu Qi.

"Report to the envoy of the gods, the Han army has about [-] follow-up cavalry, about ten miles away from our army, led by Yan Liang himself."

Another scout arrived in a hurry and reported the latest situation to Xu You.

"It's not what I expected."

Xu You smiled lightly, and his eyes moved away from the cavalry led by Wen Chou, and turned further away.

A large net has been quietly opened, and the bait he released is about to be discovered, just like a fish entering a wire net and a bird entering a cage.

Xu You led the horse and turned around. Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were not good at hiding their expressions, and they never thought about hiding their thoughts from Xu You, and Xu You naturally noticed the expressions of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao long ago.

"However, there are thousands of enemy troops in the area, why should the two generals look worried?"

Holding the rein in one hand and the folding fan in the other, Xu You asked with a smile.

Zhang Liao was young and vigorous. Hearing Xu You's question, he directly raised the question in his heart, but his tone was not aggressive, and he was quite calm.

"The Han cavalry consisted of [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry. The military division dispatched the main army, and only led me to wait for [-] cavalry to come here. I think it is difficult to stop the Han army from advancing."

"Stop the advance of the Han army?"

Xu You glanced at Zhang Liao arrogantly, and said with a sneer.

"Who said my purpose is to stop the advance of the Han army? If that's the case, isn't a certain Xu Ziyuan a person who is not in name?"

"I have already ordered Guan Hai and Guan Cheng to lead troops to set up camp on the north side of our army. Calculating the time, the two of them leading the army should be not far away at this time. Just wait for the signal to come together and encircle the three places. The Han army is nothing more than fish swimming in a cauldron or fish on a desk."

Holding the rein in his left hand, Xu You led the white horse to turn sideways, slowly raised his right hand, and pointed the folding fan in his hand to the official road below the hill.

"This is where Yan Liang and Wen Chou were defeated!"

……

"It's 'Moth Thief'!"

Cheng Feng's eyes were sharp, and as soon as the forest that obscured his vision disappeared, he saw the Yellow Turban soldiers on the official road not far away.

Wen Chou followed the place Cheng Feng pointed at, and as expected, there was a Yellow Turban army indistinctly among the hills, and there seemed to be a lot of vehicles mixed with it.

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Xie Du's eyes, Xie Du saw it clearly, this trilogy is probably the Yellow Turban Army's heavy troop!
"Looks like we caught a big fish!"

There was a greedy look in Xie Dudu's eyes. The Yellow Turban Army from the four prefectures broke through a large number of counties and counties, and many powerful households were looted. As long as the Yellow Turban Army's supply team is defeated, they will surely make a fortune.

Seeing the brigade of Han army cavalry coming from behind the official road, and their own cavalry driving their horses and fleeing in embarrassment, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army on the official road were all panicked.

"Don't panic, line up, line up!!!"

Some generals waved their sabers and shouted loudly. The Yellow Turban soldiers guarding the carriages gathered around these generals tremblingly. Compared with the bravery of the Jizhou Army, it is not as good.

At this time, there are no other parts on the side, only they are alone facing the menacing cavalry of the Han army, how can they stop it?

At first, the general's warning was useful, but some soldiers were too timid, and they didn't have the same will to fight as the auxiliary soldiers who fought with the Han army in the Battle of Zhangshui.

Under the long-term preaching of the Yellow Turban Army Fu Zhu, the auxiliary soldiers in the Zhangshui Battle knew that the Zhangshui Battle must not be lost, and must not be defeated. of the dead.

Fu Zhu of the Yellow Turban Army also wrote down their names and their identities. They were told that even if they died in battle, their names could enter Bingzhou with the Yellow Turbans of the four states, and their names would be immortalized forever. It is engraved on the monument in Jinyang City.

And these auxiliary soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who were escorting the luggage were not responsible for the task of blocking the advance of the Han army. They were not expected to be attacked suddenly, and they were all panicked for a while.

As the first person started to flee, more auxiliary soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army also chose to flee, and they just left the baggage all over the ground and fled.

In a panic, the animals pulling the carriages were frightened by the fleeing people, the neighing of horses, the roar of beasts and the voices of boiling people immediately rang out.

Livestock pulled the carriages and smashed them into each other, or frightened horses knocked over the surrounding carriages, and the carriages fell to the ground with a huge impact, causing the contents of the carriages to scatter all over the ground.

Quite a few people were crushed to the ground by the falling frame, and those who died on the spot were even considered lucky. Unfortunately, those soldiers who were crushed to the ground by the falling frame became seriously injured. Some of them broke their legs, some With a broken arm, or broken ribs by the falling frame, all you can do is wail and cry out in pain.

Bags of precious corn fell on the ground, and some boxes were filled with treasures and money, and the impact caused the money to scatter all over the place.

Some auxiliary soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who were in a panic and were fleeing were blinded by the golden money. Even though the cavalry of the Han Army was not far away, there were still some bold and reckless ones who quickly picked up the property on the ground.

One thing is another, money is fascinating, how did these poor people see so much money, fleeing turned into a fight again.

Although they were afraid of the cavalry of the Han army, the cavalry of the Han army was still some distance away from them. Fortunately, more people joined the ranks of picking up property.

Some smart people grabbed a few at random and ran towards the back, while some greedy people seemed to be possessed by demons, and they were still crazily holding money. They had never seen so much property in their entire lives. .
