Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 250 Pocket array, pretending to be Yuan Shao

Wen Chou looked up at the people on the tower in a daze. They were tall and rough, with a black scarf wrapped around their heads, which matched the outfit of the Black Mountain Army very well.

He turned his gaze back to the city gate, the old whitened door panel was closed tightly, the loess rammed wall was uneven, with many longitudinal creases eroded by the rain, and a large whitened wooden board hung above it, But the handwriting on it is still clear, the word "Li Cheng" was written.

Wen Chou knew that he had gone to the right place, and also realized that he was late.

"Heishan bandits, since they know my name, they still don't offer up the city to accept the surrender!" Wen Chou swung his whip and pointed at Yan Xing.

Behind Yan Xing, Guo Jia and Zhang Liao covered their mouths and smiled, Guo Jia said: "The name of the general running away is known everywhere!"

Yan Xing didn't know Wen Chou, so he just repeated Guo Jia's words aloud: "The name of the general running away is known everywhere!"

When Wen Chou heard this, he immediately burst into anger, "The Black Mountain bandit! How dare you go down to the city to fight!"

When Yan Xing heard this, he couldn't do it immediately. Although he was not afraid of death, he still had self-knowledge in the fight with the one below.

Just when Yan Xing didn't know how to return, Guo Jia said again behind him: "Come up!"

Yan Xing followed suit and shouted: "Come up!"

go up?Wen Chou was dumbfounded, isn't this a rogue!

Wen Chou thought he had no culture, but he was reasonable, but the black bandit in front of him was unreasonable!
Wen Chou had no choice but to say, "Come up here", which almost distracted Wen Chou from continuing to yell.

After rushing here overnight, all the troops were cavalry, and there were no siege equipment at all.

So he ordered: "Set up camp three miles outside the city, and report back to the lord, Licheng has been occupied by the Black Mountain Army."

The general at the side said: "General, if we can't take Licheng, our army should not stay here for a long time. My lord lacks cavalry. If the enemy catches up, the consequences will be unpredictable."

When Wen Chou thought about it, he felt that it was very reasonable, he glanced at the top of the city unwillingly, and snorted coldly.

"withdraw troops!"

Yan Xing looked at the retreating soldiers and horses, turned around and said: "Military division, general, Wen Chou has retreated."

Zhang Liao also cast his gaze on Guo Jia, and said, "Feng Xiao, Wen Chou marched all night, he must be exhausted, our army is going to attack at this time, and we will surely win a big victory!"

Guo Jia waved his hand, denying Zhang Liao's proposal.

"Wen Yuan, it's true that this battle must be won, but in terms of the overall situation, it is a small victory that is insignificant. What the Lord wants is a comprehensive victory, so there is no need to spend more effort." Guo Jia said.

Zhang Liao took a few steps forward and showed his face on the top of the wall. He looked at Wen Chou who was going away, and held his sword tightly.

"It's the meaning of filial piety!" Zhang Liao said.

……

The sun was rising and it was already bright. Yuan Shao rode on horseback on the straight and wide official road. After Wen County came over, Yuan Shao obviously found that this place was different from other places.

The roads are better maintained, and the scale of the pavilions is usually larger, indicating a large number of residents. On both sides of the official road, there are large wheat fields. The green wheat seedlings have grown to two inches high, swaying with the breeze, overlooking from a distance, It's like a well-built grassland, and in the fields, you can still see three or two farmers working in the fields.

"This place looks peaceful, as if it has never been invaded by the Black Mountain Army." Yuan Shao couldn't help sighing.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed, the weather was uncertain, and she didn't answer.

It is a peaceful scene now, and it may not be so in the near future.

Why this is so, he and Yuan Shao should both know it well.

This scene only shows that before that, Zhu Jun still managed Hanoi County in an orderly manner. Most of the fields were not abandoned, and he had never heard of the Heishan army capturing the county. They were all active in the Heishan area, and even went to Jizhou. , Yanzhou and other places did not harm Hanoi very much.

Zhu Jun is famous for his ability to calm chaos!

And because of Yuan Shao's arrival, Zhu Jun had to gather troops from all over the country and retreated to defend Yewang together, resulting in the emptiness of the defenses in all counties, and Yuan Jun passed by, except for the city where the grain was stored, there were almost no troops assigned, so the Black Mountain Army became in two months. so rampant.

"These fields may belong to the Sima family in Wen County." Chen Lin said for no reason.

"The field is a good field, and the wheat is good wheat. The Sima family must have a rich granary, but it's a pity that they don't want to lend me the grain." Yuan Shao sighed.

Chen Lin was speechless, and Sima was doing it for self-protection and was not at fault.

"Good fields and good wheat, it's a pity that they will soon become mud under the iron heels of thieves!" Guo Tu seemed to be regretful, but his expression was contemptuous. I don't know if he was speaking for the lord Yuan Shao, or the green-headed wheat of Sima's family stimulated him. , and then said: "The thief will only follow the official path, they don't care so much, it must be how close, how come!"

At this time, Yiqi passed the crowd and came forward, reporting: "Leader, Fan Chou's army has arrived in Wen County, and I'm afraid they will be able to catch up with the rear army by ten minutes in the afternoon."

"Where's Baibo Army?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Bai Bo's army should be behind Fan Chou, but..."

"But what, hurry up!"

"Dong Zhuo's army appeared in Wushejin, and they seemed to be going north to attack our army."

"Impossible, Dong Zhuo's Wang Fang is in Mengjin, where did Dong Jun come from Wushejin!" Guo Tu said.

The sentry officer did not respond to Guo Tu, but continued to say to Yuan Shao: "This is what the cavalry sentry saw with his own eyes, please be careful, the leader!"

At this time, Feng Ji who had just joined Yuan Shao suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Do you have any plans to cross the river?"

"Yes, there are many ships on the other side." The sentinel replied.

Feng Ji's eyes lit up, and he quickly said to Yuan Shao: "Master, this is a big turning point!"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Our army might as well set up an ambush on the north bank and wait for the enemy to cross the river. If we hit them halfway, we will surely win a big victory. Our army will cross south again to seize the enemy's food and grass. Moreover, the counties in Henan are very rich, so there is no need to worry about food and grass. After our army crosses south, we can attack Luoyang when we advance, and we can attack the second pass of Hulao and Sishui when we retreat, and join forces with Liu Dai's army inside and outside!"

Feng Ji spoke out the plan in one breath, Yuan Shao stared wide-eyed after hearing this, in such adversity, there is such a plan!
However, before Yuan Shao could speak, Guo Tu immediately objected: "My lord, you can't. If our army's attack on the ferry is frustrated, and the pursuers come again, we will be attacked by the enemy, and we will die. Besides, Henan is Dong Zhuo's lair. Our army's southward crossing is like a turtle entering. In the urn, seek death!"

When Yuan Shao heard Guo Tu's words, he swallowed back the words of praise for Fengji that had just hit his throat.

Guo Tuzhi's words are also very reasonable, this move is too risky.

"My lord, our army is fine and brave. The only thing we lack is food and grass. We just need to go to Henan to solve the problem. Now that Wang Fang's army has already crossed the north, we must not think that our army will suddenly attack Henan. The good opportunity is fleeting. , Lord, please think twice!" Feng Ji persuaded again.

"Entering a dangerous place alone is a taboo for military strategists!" Guo Tu stopped again.

Yuan Shao looked at the two, his mind was in chaos, he didn't know what to do for a while, and turned his eyes to Chen Lin.

Usually, Chen Lin doesn't like to participate in making decisions with troops, but at this moment, it seems that it is impossible not to make a statement.

It is indeed a risky plan, but the success of the South Crossing can indeed open up the situation, and the original plan to retreat is more secure, so Chen Lin prefers the latter.

So Chen Lin said: "Master, you can fight for your life in a desperate situation. Now our army still has a way out, so it's better to do it properly. Besides, the lord, don't forget, the lord has promised the king of Bohai 20 stones of grain and grass. At this time, Bohai The king is probably already on his way."

"Yes, yes, the lord has promised the King of Bohai Sea food and grass. How can the lord's words be invalidated once they are said." Guo Tu quickly echoed.

Yuan Shao heaved a sigh of relief, and in a moment of anxiety, he even forgot about this episode.

"Forget it, let's move on!" Yuan Shao made a decision.

Feng Ji could only lower his head helplessly, he had already expected that going to Huai County would be difficult and there would be no turning point.

……

Liu Qing looked at the newly sent letter, smiled and said to Li Wen: "Bochong, 20 shiliang, you will guarantee this matter, Yuan Shao won't play tricks, right?"

Li Wen showed a hint of embarrassment, forced a smile, and said, "My lord, why did you say that? How can Yuan's reputation be compared with a mere 20 stones?"

"Am I missing?"

When Liu Qing said that, Li Wen was really surprised, and quickly said: "Master, there are quite a few, and Yuan Jun should have passed Wen County at this time, not far from Huai County."

"Not far away? Bochong, then you can underestimate Fengxiao. The 20 shi was given by Yuan Shao on his own initiative. Besides, he also gave it passively."

"Passively given?" Li Wen couldn't understand, did the lord want to go back on his word?

"Bo Chong wouldn't think that if I rescued Yuan Benchu ​​from the siege, he would have food."

"Does the lord want to borrow his grain and grass and collect interest?" Li Wen asked back, this is also a common method used by tyrants to exploit farmers.

"Food and grass are dead things, why do I need so much grain and grass!" Liu Qing laughed, but changed the subject, and said again: "What I want is his people!"

"His people?" Li Wen seemed to understand a little... He suddenly thought of himself.

When Liu Qing took Weijun, he took the person who took Weijun first, that is, himself.

At the beginning, Fu Xie and Guo Dian were sent to lobby, and Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, and Chen Bing were sent to the border of Wei County, which can be described as both hard and soft. Li Wen had no doubt that if he refused, Liu Qing would forcefully take the county, and he would definitely find a fair and just reason. Just like taking Hanoi County this time.

To this day, Li Wen is still curious about how Liu Qing would attack Wei County if he resisted that day.

"My lord wants to recruit Yuan Benchu?" Li Wen asked tentatively.

"Ah?" Liu Qing was surprised, how could this be possible, with Yuan's current status and intentions, how could he be controlled by others, besides the current Liu Qing doesn't have enough energy.

If you take a long step, you can walk fast, but if you take a long step, it is easy to tear your eggs.

"Bochong was joking. The Yuan family's ambitions have been revealed. Liu Bian is just a fig leaf. Now Yuan Kai is very ambitious and wants to replace Dong Zhuo. He can also stand against Dong Zhuo and proclaim himself emperor."

"Cracked earth..."

Li Wen's eyes widened. This word is too shocking. It means that the big man will really have two emperors from now on, and they will inherit their own inheritance.

It is normal for the ancients who have read poetry and books to have this kind of shock at the cracking of the earth, just like Liu Qing's light utterance of the word, as if it is commonplace, and it is also normal.

Because even in the previous life, China was still divided.

If Liu Qing does not interfere, the situation in Ruyang is likely to be that Liu Bian passed on for two generations, and then "relinquished" to the Yuan family. On the contrary, Dong Zhuo's side, who may win the game, is still unknown. The Hongnong Yang family, the Hanoi Sima family, Everything is possible.

It was also the first time that Liu Qing talked about this issue with his subordinates. It was not Ju Shou Tian Feng, nor Xun Yu Guo Jia, but Li Wen.

"The great man is about to split, and the emperor's principles are lost. As the great ancestor, how can I just sit back and watch? Therefore, he has acted resolutely to attack Jizhou and squeeze Yuan Benchu ​​everywhere. This Hanoi County cannot be easily obtained!" Liu Qing said.

Liu Qing's words gave Li Wen a lot of clarity, and all the confusion about the lord earlier disappeared at this moment.

This is not a mere overlord who wants to seize territory, this is clearly the Lord of Shang'an Sheji, who has determined the hearts of the people!

To be able to follow such an enlightened master, Li Wen suddenly had a feeling that death is not a pity.

Liu Qing was shocked, and received a message: Li Wen completely agrees with the lord, and is willing to repay him with death. His loyalty has increased by 30%, and his current loyalty is 100%.

The two looked at each other meaningfully, and Li Wen suddenly made a big salute and knelt down on the ground: "The lord is righteous, Li Wen is willing to repay the lord with all his heart and soul!"

Liu Qing hurriedly got up to help each other, but he didn't expect Li Wen to be so touched by a few words.

I don't know if this counts as brainwashing.

So effective, perhaps, this is the power of doctrine!
Now that Jizhou is in possession, it seems that it is time to come up with a programmatic thing.

Let's wait until the incident in Hanoi is over.

Liu Qing supported Li Wen and said with a smile: "Bochong, take money from people and eliminate disasters for others, come with me to Licheng!"

……

Li Cheng welcomed another unexpected guest.

The real leader of the Black Mountain Army, Chu Yan.

Now he leads an army of [-] troops to garrison along Jishui, in order to prevent Yuan Jun from crossing Jishui to the north.

Now, on Yuan Jun’s way to the east, there is Dahe in the south, Dong Zhuo’s army in Henan, Jishui in the north, and [-] Heishan troops stationed there. The only city in the east, which is the destination of Yuan Shao’s march, is Licheng. Occupied by Zhang Liao.

In addition, Zhang Xiu's new riding camp has also crossed the Jishui River and is stationed at the confluence of the Jishui River.

When Yuan Shao moved east, it was as if he got into the pocket that Guo Jia had arranged, and Zhang Ning's Baibo Army was in charge of tightening the mouth of the pocket after Yuan Shao entered it.

"As for Fan Chou, it should be very interesting if he enters my pocket with Yuan Jun!" Guo Jia smiled and finished introducing Li Cheng's deployment.

Zhang Yan, who had her head wrapped, had a thick beard and her big eyes widened. She looked at Guo Jia with doubts.

"Military division, the Black Mountain Army's combat strength is low and scattered above Jishui. If Yuan's army attacks by force, it may be difficult to resist."

Guo Jia smiled: "Who said the Black Mountain Army's combat power is low?"

Guo Jia spoke and looked at Zhang Liao. Now his cavalry can be regarded as the "Black Mountain Army". He defeated Chunyu Qiong head-on and robbed twenty carts of food and grass.

Chu Yan doesn't quite understand, isn't this the truth!
When attacking the camp in Huaixian, the Black Mountain Army suffered a lot of losses.

"The Black Mountain Army defeated Chunyu Qiong, the captain of the Xiyuan School, and captured Huai County and the Huai County Camp. Who dares to say that the Black Mountain Army's combat power is low?" Guo Jia asked the crowd, and then turned his eyes to Chu Yan, " General Chu, Chief Chu, Jishui Black Mountain Army, just make a grand appearance, Yuan Jun will not dare to attack!"

"Why not?" the upright Chu Yan asked again.

Zhang Liao frowned, as if he was also thinking: Why not?As if he didn't know either!

Yuan Jun always wants to break through!In comparison, Jishui in the north is undoubtedly the best direction, because that is the direction of Huai County.

Guo Jia suddenly walked towards the entrance of the lobby, looked up at the sky, and said to everyone with his back: "Yuan Shao entered my pocket formation, but he is not a trapped animal. As long as there is hope, he is not considered a trapped animal."

Guo Jia turned around again, looked back at the crowd, and continued, "Because our lord, our king, is Yuan Shao's hope!"
