Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 405 The Acting Skills and Tacit Understanding of Drama Master Guo Tu

After subduing Gao Lan, Liu Qing was in a good mood, thinking that Lu Bu was indeed a civil servant, and Gao Lan was brought out of chaos with just a few words.

"This king will win another strong general during this trip, and Yuan Jun will be more helpless than this king!" Liu Qing said with a smile.

Judging from this battle, although Yuan Jun's combat effectiveness has improved compared to before, it is still not enough to compete with him, especially the cavalry is far from enough. This shortcoming is the most fatal point.

While Liu Qing was happy, Gao Lan suddenly said "Master", although it was not very smooth, but it was understandable that he had just changed doors.

He continued: "Mr. Yuan's deployment in this battle is very extensive. It is not only in the mountains of Yan County. The eastward offensive should not be underestimated. It was personally commanded by his nephew Gao Gan."

"Senior cadre?" Liu Qing suddenly remembered the young talent he had met in Yu County a few years ago, but unfortunately he couldn't take it for himself. Chen Liu Gao and Yuan are related by marriage, so they are naturally bound by interests. Because Gao Shun voted for him, now Among the Gao clan, they are very unpopular.

Now Liu Qing and Yuan Shi, who is more powerful, can't you really tell?

Obviously not, and it's not that the Gao family is blind, but that they are too closely tied to Yuan's interests.

Liu Qing immediately asked Lu Bu, "Feng Xian, who is stationed in Dang County?"

"My lord, it's Cao Xing," Lu Bu said.

"I thought Yuan Zhong, Prime Minister of Pei, had been captured by this king, and there was no offensive in the direction of Pei Guo. I didn't expect Yuan Shao to be so bold. Fengxian, you speed up your army to Dang County to see if you can stop Yuan Jun from the outside. If it is too late, then Return to Yangliang."

"The last general obeys the order!" Lu Bu obeyed the order, turned his horse's head back, and began to divide his troops and leave the team.

With Lu Bu going to support them, they must be facing the battlefield, and they won't be too embarrassed. They have passed through the defenders of the counties before, and if they lose the enemy, it doesn't matter if they abandon the city.

When it came to Yuan Jun's movements, it was inconvenient to say before, but now that Gao Lan is one of his own, Liu Qing intends to ask him a question or two. Of course, in order to take care of his emotions, Liu Qing thought it best not to ask too sensitive questions at first.

"General Gao, I heard that you have been to Nanyang before, and I have been curious about the situation in Nanyang, how is it now?"

When Gao Lan heard that Liu Qing was asking about Nanyang, not the most sensitive Runan, he said, "Yuan Shu has lost his foundation in Nanyang, and it will not last long. Yuan Shu already intends to go south to take Jingzhou, but in the future We will continue to occupy Wancheng, because of Han Sui's change, Dong Zhuo may no longer be able to take Nanyang, and he will withdraw soon."

"Exit? Why did you say that?"

Gao Lan was stunned for a moment, but he still said, "Luoyang is afraid of accidents. Dong Zhuoruo doesn't want to give up the strategy of going south, so he has to withdraw his troops from Nanyang."

Liu Qing was stunned, and sighed lightly: "So that's how it is."

It seems that I think it is simple, even if Zhang Ning can stop the Qiangliang army, Dong Zhuo will recall the soldiers of Nanyang. , Sun Jian, and Han Sui dealt with Liu Biao alone.

No wonder there is the intention to go south to Jingzhou.

In this way, Liu Biao Alexander, no wonder Liu Biao withdrew his troops immediately when Han Sui rebelled.

Not long after returning to Yan County, Liu Qing received a military report from Suiyang. Bo County in the north had been captured by Jiang Qi, Cheng Lian had retreated to Meng County and joined Song Xian. In addition, Chen Liu urgently reported that Kaocheng The county was attacked by Ding Yuan's army. Gao Shun is currently sitting in the city, but has not yet been captured. Cao Cao and Liu Bei have gone north to face the enemy of Jiyin.

A series of military reports came together. It seemed that overnight, the entire Liang Kingdom was attacked. Yuan Jun had planned for a long time, but now Yuan Jun can only gain some gains in the corner area that Liu Qing pays little attention to. , with Liu Qing around, if you want to get results, you have to ask Liu Qing if he agrees or not.

On the second day when he was stationed in Yan County, Lu Bu also received news that he ran into the retreating Cao Xing on the way to the army, and that Dang County had fallen into the hands of senior officials.

On the first day of the war, Liang Guo lost two of the eight counties. Although Yan County, where Liu Qing is located, gained a lot, beheaded nearly ten thousand Yuan Jun, captured countless horses and soldiers, and conquered Gao Lan. There are gains and losses.

However, the lost county is already an empty city, and Liu Qingcun lost his land, so the loss is controllable.

……

In Yuan Shao's camp in Yuan Jun's camp in Wuping County, Lu Weihuang and Chun Yuqiong, who had fled back, were complaining about the defeat of Yan County.

"Lü Bu's army didn't fall for the strategy of joining the army, and chose to pursue General Wang. Now only a few thousand people under General Wang's troops have returned to the camp, and the entire army may have been wiped out."

"Where's Guo Canjun?" Yuan Shao asked.

Lu Weihuang and Chun Yuqiong looked at each other. In fact, in the description just now, the two had already mentioned it in one sentence, but they didn't expect Yuan Shaogong to mention Guo Tu alone.

Chun Yuqiong replied: "Here, back to Yuan Gong, the battlefield is chaotic, each army defends against the enemy and breaks through separately. The last general does not know where Guo Can's army is."

Lu Weihuang nodded heavily.

Yuan Shao's complexion was not very good, the responsibility of joining the army was to coordinate the cooperation of the various armies, but now, each army fought on their own and broke through the encirclement individually, instead of joining the army.

Wait... Breakthrough?
Yuan Shao suddenly looked at Chunyuqiong suspiciously.

"How many troops does King Bohai have in this battle?" Yuan Shao asked.

There was a sudden silence in the tent, Chunyu Qiong stared wide-eyed, unable to speak, his mind was making up words quickly, and for a while, he couldn't think of it, or rather, couldn't make it up, after all, how did they get an army of tens of thousands from Bohai How about breaking out of the 2000-person crowd?

Lu Weihuang took over the conversation and replied: "Duke Yuan, the king of Bohai, Liu Qing, has personally joined the battle. There are also generals such as Dian Wei, Lu Bu, and Hou Cheng. The exact number of them is not known yet, but they can make General Wang Kuang nearly wipe out the entire army. , I think the number is not inferior to our army."

Chunyu Qiong breathed a sigh of relief, Brother Lu still has a bright mind.

At this time, a summons came from outside the door: "Guo Canjun is back!"

Lu Weihuang and Chunyu Qiong felt tense again.

"Please invite Guo to join the army!" Yuan Shao said.

At the entrance of the tent, a staggering figure limped into the tent. Guo Tu stood in front of everyone, with disheveled hair, messy clothes, and blood stains on it, and Guo Tu seemed to be exhausted after walking into the tent. With the last of his strength, he fell to the ground as if paralyzed and kneeling, and shouted hoarsely: "My lord, this subordinate is incompetent!"

Guo Yingdi was not pretending, nor was he injured, but the horse ran too fast, and his legs were numb from the horse.

Seeing Guo Tu's miserable state, Yuan Shao quickly asked, "Gongze, what happened?"

Guo Tu wanted to cry without tears, and replied: "Our army fought against the headquarters of the King of Bohai, but the King of Bohai was so brave that our army was defeated. General Chunyu and General Lu broke through and left one after another. The most powerful Dian Wei clung to him, and it was the soldiers who fought their lives to let me escape. I am really ashamed of Yuan Gong and the soldiers!"

As he spoke, Guo Tu covered his face again and sobbed.

After listening to Guo Tu's statement, Chunyu Qiong and Lu Weihuang silently wiped off the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Fortunately, Guo Tu didn't say that they ran away.

They have nothing to do, they are just helpless when facing Liu Qing and Dianwei's cavalry, very helpless!
"I didn't expect this battle to be so tragic!" Yuan Shao sighed, "Grandpa is injured, get up first!"

Just as Guo Tu was about to struggle to get up, Chunyu Qiong and Lu Weihuang quickly went up to help Guo Tu up and sat him down. Guo Tu, whose legs were completely numb, was still grinning and gasping for cold air, which was so sour.

Guo Tu was relieved to see that the three of them did not shirk and complain to each other. Three came back, and two were missing, Wang Kuang and Gao Lan.

"Where are General Wang Kuang and General Gao Lan?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Returning to my lord, General Gao Lan personally fought the King of Bohai. I'm afraid... General Wang Kuang was killed and wounded more than half, and the whole army collapsed. I'm afraid General Wang Kuang has died. If General Gao Lan is not dead, he will be captured by the King of Bohai. As Guo Tu said, he added: "My lord, Gao Lan, like Yan Liang and Wen Chou, also followed the lord from the Jizhou Army. They may..."

Guo Tu speaks very measuredly. If he is too sensitive, he always clicks to the end, but he can make people understand what the following information is.

Yuan Shao suddenly sighed, not knowing why.

The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became dull.

"Gongze, go down and recuperate!" After finishing speaking, he sat back in the main seat and looked at Fengji who was beside him.

Feng Ji stepped forward and said: "My lord, Jiang Qi's troops on the northern line have captured Bo County, and they are cooperating with Yuan Yi's troops to march into Meng County, the northern gateway of Suiyang. , Dang County has been captured, and now the defenders of Dang County have retreated, two counties in one day, my lord, this battle is smoother than expected!"

Guo Tu, who had just walked to the door, felt tightness in his chest.

The other roads are invincible, but my feelings are my Yan County.

I don't agree!Let's try to face the King of Bohai by yourself!
Guo Tu felt aggrieved, and suddenly thought of what King Bohai had said before leaving.

"Okay! Not bad! According to the established plan, continue to march!" The haze in Yuan Shao's heart was swept away, and with a wave of his hand, he felt that he could do it again.

Facts have proved that the Bohai King's bravery is nothing but the bravery of a common man, and he can only win a partial victory. However, his Yuan's army is attacking from all sides, attacking the city and conquering the territory. This is the real war!
Seeing Yuan Shao happy, Feng Ji said again: "Mr. Yuan, there is also good news from Nanyang." Feng Ji said in a timely manner, intending to make Yuan Shao happy again.

"Oh? Hurry up and share it with everyone!"

Sure enough, Yuan Shao smiled even more, and the haze of previous failure was swept away.

Feng Ji smiled and said: "Yan Xing attacked Tongguan. Ma Teng heard the news and divided his troops to rescue it. General Han Sui took advantage of the situation to occupy Wuguan. In the battle of Nanyang, whoever wins Wuguan has to take the initiative. Now Wuguan is in Hand, the land of Sanfu in Chang'an is already in front of the lord!"

"Excellent Han Wenyue!" Yuan Shao praised fiercely, "It seems that the day of Li Jue's retreat is just around the corner!"

"I think that there will be changes in Hangu, Li Jue will definitely return to help, and Nanyang will be completely safe at that time! Yuan Gonglu can concentrate on dealing with Liu Biao in Jingzhou!"

Yuan Shao stroked his beard, "Come on! Calculating the time, Yan Xing should have reached Hangu Pass. Sima Fang shouldn't be playing tricks!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Yuan. Mr. Sima Jiang is scheming, and he will definitely protect himself wisely and ignore it."

"So, let's wait for Yan Xing's good news!" Yuan Shao said with a smile.

……

Outside Hangu Pass, in the Xin'an area, after Yan Xing was frustrated at Hangu Pass, he withdrew here and stationed there during the war.

In the past, they were indomitable and had too much momentum. In fact, the rush had exhausted the entire army. It was all supported by the high morale. After the setback at Hangu Pass, it collapsed all at once.

Yan Xing was feeding the horse sullenly, when suddenly a man ran up to him, wearing a headband and loose hair, a typical Qiang costume.

"Have you found out about the other party's background?"

The man squeaked and said uncertainly: "It seems that the ones blocking us... seem to be the Yellow Turban Army."

Apparently the speaker didn't quite believe the news either.

"Yellow Turban Army? Say it again!" Yan Xing grabbed the Qiang people.

"Master Yan Xing, it's true! It's really the Yellow Turban Army!"

"The Yellow Turban was wiped out by Huangfusong long ago. Even Huangfusong couldn't hold the Hangu Pass. Tell me it's the Yellow Turban?"

Although the Yellow Turban Army had never fought, Yan Xing also knew that they were just a group of refugees and had no fighting power.

As for the one encountered at Hangu Pass, they had elite cavalry, and some of them were even armored cavalry. This kind of cavalry was rare even in the Han Chinese army, and they could kill Qiang Liang head-on. Cavalry, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness is extraordinary.

And according to the retreating siege army, a group of heavily armored soldiers guarding the top of the city, their armor is ridiculously tight, in their words: invulnerable.

Yan Xing never believed that this was the Yellow Turban Army.

But with such an army standing in front of them, it was really impossible to capture Hangu Pass for a while.This city is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Report-"

"General, Ma Teng's army has arrived in Yiyang, and their target is also Hangu Pass!"

Suddenly Yan Xing's eyes lit up, "Oh? Brother Shoucheng thinks that we have entered the customs and is rushing to rescue Luo Yang!"

This is undoubtedly great news. What would happen if Ma Teng's troops approached Hangu Pass and the defenders refused to open the gate?

Ma Teng will definitely attack, and when they are both injured, it will be the best time for him to attack. At that time, he can not only backstab Ma Teng's army, solve Brother Wen Yue's thorn in his side, but also take advantage of the situation to attack Hangu Pass, killing two birds with one stone!
"Pay close attention to the movement of Ma Teng's army. In recent days, the whole army has been lurking and resting. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will, except for sentries!"

Ma Tengjun must not let him find his way.

Yan Xing suddenly looked forward to the real Yellow Turban Army stationed at Hangu Pass. At least the Yellow Turban Army stationed here would definitely not let Ma Teng enter. Only in this way would Ma Teng take the risk to attack the city and he would have a chance to kill two birds with one stone.

In Hangu Pass, which is only twenty miles away from Xin'an, Yang Feng came to look for Zhang Ning suddenly.

"General Saintess, the spies report that Ma Teng led his army back from Wuguan and is heading towards Hangu Pass. Right now, there are only three days to go."

Zhang Ning frowned slightly, feeling a little tricky.

Ma Teng didn't guard Wuguan, so he chose to return to Hanguguan. Counting the time, the rumors about Luoyang may not have spread. Anticipated Luo Yang's change?
As for Ma Tengjun, Zhang Ning naturally couldn't let it go, otherwise the gossip scheme of colluding with Huangfusong would be self-defeating, and the plan of King Bohai would also fail, Zhang Ning would never allow it.

"Pass down the order to closely monitor the movement of Ma Teng's army, temporarily block the city gate with stones, and never allow a single soldier to cross Hangu!" Zhang Ning ordered.

"Here!" Yang Feng led the troops away.

Looking at Yang Feng's leaving figure, Zhang Ning clenched his fist slightly: "You can't use the name of Bohai King. It seems that you can only use the name of Baibo Army to occupy this city first."
