Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 514

Zhang Yun was not there, Cao Hong became an innocent victim, what's the use of secretly scolding this fellow?Then I thought about Huang Zhong beheading Xia Houyuan, maybe he really had the courage to beat Guan Yu.

Cao Hong was guessing who Cao Cao would send to support, but Cao Cao said calmly: "Our army's rations cannot be lost. Zilian, you should work hard to rescue. Generals must learn to judge the situation. You can't learn from Miaocai (Xia Houyuan)." So brave and ruthless."

"Uh yes." Cao Hong accepted the order with cupped fists.

Breaking Liu Bei's grain road failed, but his own grain road had problems instead. Cao Cao resolutely stopped attacking and turned to the defensive.

The Mianshui grain road was very different from the Jinniu road, because the route was long and had no dangerous terrain, and the defense of more than a hundred miles was extremely difficult. After Cao Cao set up camp in Zouma Valley, Zhang Yun's grain guard army also moved to the south bank.

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were ordered to go eastward before the war. They crossed Yangshui and arrived at the predetermined location of Pangtong and Fazheng. They climbed up the nearby Beishan Mountain and found that the Mianshui River had a panoramic view. , It is very easy to harass the cargo ships transported by Cao Jun.

They built forts and camps in the hidden places of Beishan, and sent people to Dingjunshan to report after drawing the terrain, and then waited for the opportunity to send troops to plunder and harass Cao's transport team.

After the battle at Dingjun Mountain started, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun harassed them cautiously on a small scale, so Zhang He didn't find out where the Beishan camp was, but the impact on Cao's camp was also very limited.

In mid-March, scouts came to Beishan to deliver news that hundreds of cargo ships were coming from the east, carrying countless rice grains.

After hearing this, Huang Zhong's eyes lit up, and he went to Zhao Yun excitedly to discuss: "Zilong, the two of us have been here for more than ten days, and there are only a few boats in front of us. This time there are hundreds of cargo ships, which must be the Cao thief Guanzhong. If the raised rice can be successfully intercepted or destroyed, it might really change the course of the war."

Zhao Yun nodded in affirmation: "Zhang Yun has been patrolling the river for a long time, and he should bring heavy troops to guard the food road. The old general has worked hard these days, so I will leave this matter to Zhao Yun. You can take charge of the overall situation in the camp."

"How can I be missing in this kind of scene? It's still Zilong staying in the camp." Huang Zhong got up and was about to leave.

Zhao Yun hurriedly pulled him back, "Zhang Yun is a famous general of Wei, and Yun had heard of him often when he was in Hebei, so it's better for me to go this time."

"Xia Houyuan is also a famous general, right? The one I beheaded is a famous general. Zilong doesn't need to say too much. Don't forget that I am the main general." Huang Zhong made a big move.

Zhao Yun was at a loss for words for a moment, then smiled wryly and said: "The old general will bring more soldiers and horses if he is going to go. If he meets Zhang Yun who is capable of fighting, then he will fight. The main purpose is to attack the grain road, and the second is to kill the general and kill the enemy."

"I can save it." Huang Zhong nodded.

The two finished their calculations together, Huang Zhong couldn't hold back Zhao Yun, and finally took away most of the soldiers and horses in the camp, because he not only wanted to harass the grain ship, but also deal with Zhang Yun who came to protect the grain.

Huang Zhong dispatched half of the soldiers to carry the tied bamboo rafts, tung oil and other fire starters prepared in advance, and went to the riverside to wait for the arrival of Cao Jun's grain ship, while he himself took three thousand soldiers and horses to the west. He chose to take the initiative to lure Zhang He away.

The two armies met near Yangshui, a tributary. Huang Zhong took the lead to inspire the soldiers, and each of them counted as ten.

Huang Zhong's fighting strength had the upper hand in terms of momentum, which shocked Zhang Yun, who had more troops than Huang Zhong. While sending people to Zouma Valley to ask Cao Cao for help, he urged his scattered troops to gather in Yangshui.

As time went by, Zhang Yun's troops grew more and more. Huang Zhong worried that the opponent would divide his troops to protect food, so he went to the south valley to fight and leave.

Out of caution, Zhang He led the main force into the mountains to pursue Huang Zhong, and also dispatched more than a thousand people to support the grain ships in the direction of Beishan.

Two hours later, Cao Hong led his troops to Yangshui, and he found traces of battle everywhere.

Cao Hong was about to follow the horse's hoof prints to the valley to chase. Zhang He's other thousand people who were going to support were attacked. They were carrying tattered flags, throwing away their helmets and armor and fleeing towards Yangshui.

I went forward to stop the broken soldiers and asked, only to know that my grain ship was attacked in front. More than 50 cargo ships were robbed, burned or scuttled in the narrow narrow river, and the rest of the grain ships had to turn to Nanzheng.

Cao Hong was shocked when he heard this. At this time, he ignored Zhang Yun who asked for help, and went directly to the direction pointed by the defeated soldiers.

Cao Jun advanced five miles along the river bank, and encountered General Zhang Zhu who was transferring rice grain.

Zhang Zhu was also surprised to see so many Cao soldiers, but at this time the task assigned to them by Huang Zhong had been completed, and the few grains and rice captured were going to be moved back to Beishan camp for additional meals.

Cao Hong brought nearly [-] soldiers and horses. Seeing this, Zhang Zhu ordered people to discard the grain and fled in the direction of the Beishan camp.

Since he left Chang'an to support Wudu last year, Cao Hong hadn't fought many battles at all. In addition, he was scolded by Cao Cao in the camp just now, and he was in a bad mood at this time.

The two thousand Yizhou soldiers in front of him were like a gift from fate. Cao Hong thought that he could finally feel proud, so he ordered the army to chase after them with all their strength.

Zhang Zhu led his troops to fight and leave, but there was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, less than half an hour later, there were fewer and fewer comrades around him, and in a blink of an eye, he was also surrounded by Gaixin.

"God dies me too." Zhang Zhe beat his chest and stamped his feet.

Cao Hong showed a ferocious expression on his face, and he planned to capture Zhang Zhu alive and present it to Cao Cao with the posture of a lion fighting a rabbit.

At the very moment, there was a sudden commotion in the south, dozens of riders roared and galloped towards them, and the silver-armored white horse at the head was really eye-catching, it was Zhao Yun who stayed behind in the camp.

Seeing that Huang Zhong had left the camp for several hours and did not return, Zhao Yun was worried and left his subordinate Zhang Yi to guard the camp, and only led dozens of relatives down the mountain to search for it.

Dozens of cavalry chased after the sound, and found that Cao Jun had completed the encirclement of Zhang Zhu.

Zhao Yun brandished a long spear and attacked like a silver dragon raging in the sea. The soldiers under Cao Hong couldn't resist. Zhao Yun tore a hole from the crowd like iron barrels, and finally managed to come in front of Zhang Zhuo.

"Go back to the camp quickly, I'll come back." Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Zhe and ordered.

Zhang Zhu resisted the pain in the wound, and said gratefully to Zhao Yun: "Thank you, General, for saving me, otherwise"

"Stop talking too much, hurry up and leave." Zhao Yun urged.

"only."

Zhang Zhu led his troops to escape from the siege, Zhao Yun led the cavalry to charge back and forth, and soon killed more than a hundred Cao soldiers, including eight or nine generals.

Cao Hong was far away and did not recognize Zhao Yun. Seeing that his heroes and generals did not dare to approach him, he thought that Zhao Yun should be someone, so he stepped forward and shouted.

"You can leave your name in the future."

"I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan."

Zhao Yun's voice pierced through the clouds, Cao Bing trembled when he heard it, and thought that he was a fierce man who dared not provoke before Yangping Pass.

When Cao Jun was hesitating, Zhao Yun covered Zhang Zhu and retreated. Cao Hong's lieutenant quickly asked, "General, what should we do next?"

"Hmph, so what about Zhao Yun? With just a few soldiers, what kind of trouble can he cause? Even if it's really a god, it can't stop my tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Give me all my strength to catch up. Zhao Zilong's head is mine." Cao Hong replied coldly.
