I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 280, The Situation of the Northern Song Dynasty

But what Huanglong said made Huangfusong's guards very angry. They still said such things after they were all dead. Their general was a famous general of a big man. Not to mention that the debt was eliminated after death, but you can't insult the general's body like this!
Xu Wei came out and pulled Huang Long and said: "Huangfu Song was besieged by us to death, although you didn't kill him yourself, but you forced him to death!"

Xu Wei was also worried that Huanglong would whip the corpse. After all, Huangfusong did something unreasonable back then. Zhang Jiao was already dead, and he pulled him out to behead him and whip the corpse. Now Huanglong can say it with a tooth for a tooth. It's just this matter. The reputation spread out is not good, and it may even easily cause the generals of the Han Dynasty to fight to the death when fighting with the Tengjia Army in the future!
After all, in this era, the generals of the Han Dynasty are also superstitious. They believe that there is a world of hell underground. In the underground, it is good to be with me in the land of hell, which is why there are so many dutiful sons sold as slaves in the big man. In the three views of the Han people, the world after death is even more important than the world alive!
Huang Long said unwillingly: "How can it be the same? I have been thinking about revenge for seven years. I want to hack Huangfusong to death all the time. He should die by my hands instead of committing suicide like this." !"

Huang Long looked at Huangfusong's body, then turned to Xu Wei and said, "Shuai Qu, I want to chop off Huangfusong's head to pay homage to my family, and I ask Shuai Qu to support me!"

Xu Wei is a materialist. If Huanglong cut off Huangfusong's head to make him vent his anger, he also thinks there is nothing wrong with it. He also suffered the same treatment as Zhang Jiao!

But after he saw Huanglong say such words, all the captured Han soldiers looked at Huanglong with hatred, and Xu Weicai remembered that Huangfusong had a high prestige among the Han army, and now all the captured soldiers are like this He looked at them with hatred. If the news got out, the hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers who had fled would probably feel a little bit of hatred against the enemy.This will cause unnecessary casualties to the Rattan Armor Army.

Xu Wei doesn't think it is very undesirable to bring trouble or even death to a living person for a dead person. Since flogging Huangfusong's corpse will cause tens of thousands of casualties to the Tengjia Army, then Shouldn't do it!But now that Huanglong is so stubborn, it may be very difficult to get him to give up the idea of ​​flogging corpses.

Xu Wei thought for a while and said, "Do you think that killing Huangfu Songba and bringing his head to your family's cemetery is considered as helping your family take revenge?"

Huang Long looked at Xu Wei strangely, isn't this considered revenge?

Then he said: "What Qu Shuai means is that he wants me to kill Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun and the others. This is the revenge of the great revenge!"

Speaking of which, these three people are really enemies of the Yellow Turban Army!

Xu Weidao: "Huangfusong is just doing things according to the orders of the Han court. The Han court is behind the tragic death of your family, and the nobles are the root of your family's tragedy. If you want real revenge, you should destroy it." This great Han court, which oppressed the common people, overthrew the world of elites and nobles! This will not only avenge your family, but also avenge the great virtuous teacher and the millions of Yellow Turban soldiers who were massacred by the Han army!"

Huang Long calmed down slowly after hearing Xu Wei's words, and said to Xu Wei: "Shuai Qu is right. It is indeed not a man's doing to attack a dead man. Your subordinates should overthrow this big man who oppresses the people to death, and establish a world that belongs to us. The yellow heaven and hot land of the poor! We want to fulfill the last wish of the great virtuous teacher!"

After persuading Huanglong, he ordered the soldiers of the Tengjia Army to clean up the battlefield, and then directly rested in the Han army camp!Although Xu Wei also knew that soldiers are expensive and quick, but their hundreds of thousands of troops have been fighting all night, and they are exhausted. If they immediately go after Yuan Shao and the others, the army will still have combat power.

Moreover, Xu Wei didn't think that Yuan Shao and the others could escape. The thousand-mile journey from Guangyang County to the Yellow River in Jizhou was an endless plain, and Yuan Shao and the others couldn't escape at all!As long as he takes full advantage of the maneuverability of the cavalry all the way and keeps attacking Yuan Shao's army with cavalry, so that the hundreds of thousands of troops in Yuan Shao's hands are always in a state of fatigue from being attacked, they will collapse sooner or later.

Just like the army of the Song Dynasty, they do not have the advantage of cavalry. Even if they are well-equipped, they will be beaten when they encounter cavalry. If they lose, the whole army will be wiped out. Liao and Xixia can rely on the mobility of cavalry Reduce losses, at least not in a state of complete annihilation!
Thinking of the Song Dynasty, Xu Wei suddenly found that the current state of the big man is really not as good as that of the Northern Song Dynasty. Can he learn the tactics of the Liao and Jin countries to deal with the current big man.He found that the current big Han is really a bit like the late Northern Song Dynasty, except that the big Han has more martial arts, but the Tengjia Army is also stronger than the Liao and Jin Dynasties.

In such a comparison, the Dahan is even worse than the Northern Song Dynasty. The Dahan also lost the entire Bingzhou, and even the geographical advantage of Taiyuan.Now Youzhou has also fallen, Xiliang is still in Ma Teng, and Han Sui and the others are in the hands of the rebels.This means that all the horse producing areas of the big man have fallen, and even Dong Zhuo and the others have one less horse than the other!In a few years time, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty will be reduced by at least half, which is the same as the Northern Song Dynasty.

The fall of Youzhou is equivalent to the fact that all sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were occupied by him. If the big man wanted to resist his attack, he had to hoard 20 to 30 troops in Jizhou for defense like the Northern Song Dynasty. Bingzhou is gone, even if it is Luoyang City. In dangerous places, more than 20 troops must be hoarded to guard against himself. Dong Zhuo also needs to guard against the Guanzhong. This would require 10 people. In addition, the Han army guarding the Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains, I am afraid that the 80 imperial troops in the Northern Song Dynasty I'm afraid it will appear in the big man!
But how could the finances of the big man be comparable to that of the Song Dynasty? Even if Dong Zhuo collected the sky high, he might not be able to get enough money and food to feed an army of 80!If Dong Zhuo really brought out an army of 80, I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo himself would crush the big man before the Tengjia army attacked him.

Of course, Xu Wei will still occupy Jizhou if he has a chance. After all, he is different from the original Liao and Jin. The population of the tribe is only several times smaller than that of the big Han, but it is enough for Xu Wei to maintain the rule of Youzhou and Jizhou.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Wei decided that if he could wipe out Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of elites, he would take the opportunity to attack Youzhou. The grain storage of the Jia army had reached its limit, and Zhang Baiqi warned Xu Wei more than once that if he continued to fight the Han army, people in the Tengjia army's territory would starve to death!

Last year, because Liu Yu cut off the Sanggan River, the struvite road of the Tengjia Army was cut off. This year's summer harvest will definitely decrease by more than [-]%. As far as the military is concerned, this is the really terrible thing.

So Zhang Baiqi has been urging Xu Wei to end the real life as soon as possible!

At the other end of the battlefield, Duan Peng led 3 cavalry to pursue the Han army at full speed, but they were ambushed by Zhang Xi after less than a dozen miles of pursuit.

Zhang He ambushed a small group of Han cavalry in the woods not far from the main road. When waiting for the Tengjia army to pass by, he shot the prepared three-bow bed crossbow at the Tengjia cavalry, causing more than a dozen casualties.

When Duan Peng sent troops to pursue, the cavalry of the Han army discarded the three-bow bed crossbow and fled away on horseback!

When the Tengjia army continued to advance, they soon encountered a cavalry squad of the Han army ambushing them with a rhubarb crossbow.Although it did not cause the death of the soldiers, it also injured tens of meters of Tengjia soldiers.

The cavalry of the Han army immediately rode their horses and fled without looking at the results after shooting the crossbow arrows!Duan Peng sent cavalry to pursue, but was led away by the Han cavalry away from Yuan Shao's retreating direction. Duan Peng had no choice but to call back the soldiers again. Obviously these Han cavalry wanted to delay their marching speed.

Duan Peng can only continue to arrange scouts on the periphery to clean up these small teams harassed by the Han army!And he led the army to pursue quickly!
But Zhang He changed his tactics. This time, he gathered thousands of cavalry and lined up neatly, as if he was going to attack the Tengjia Army.Duan Peng was afraid of being ambushed by Zhang He, so he immediately commanded the army to change from a column during the march to a horizontal team during the battle, and was ready to fight Zhang He!

But when Zhang Yun saw that Duan Peng was about to attack his command, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran away. Annoyed, Duan Peng directly led the large troops to chase Zhang He and wanted to kill him.

But Duan Peng soon discovered that Zhang Yun led the cavalry to run back. If he continued to chase, he would only be farther and farther away from the main force of the Han army.Duan Peng had no choice but to retreat and continue to Ji County!

Although Zhang Yun's harassment war did not cause much casualties to the Tengjia Army, it greatly delayed the marching speed of the army.It also affected the morale of the army. After being harassed several times by Zhang Yun, the soldiers of the Rattan Armored Army are now very worried about the dense forest around the road. They are afraid that another crossbow arrow will be shot out. They dare not increase their speed too fast for fear of being ambushed by Zhang He.

It was because of Zhang Yun's constant harassment that Duan Peng chased until dawn but failed to catch up with Yuan Shao and the others!
After Duan Peng pursued all the way to Jixian County, Yuan Shao was commanding an army of 6 to protect the only bridge in Jixian County that could cross the Luohe River. , Guarding against Duan Peng's cavalry attacking, occupying the bridge across the river in Ji County.

Facing the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Han army, as well as densely packed trenches, trapping horses, and rejecting horses, facing such a death trap for cavalry, Duan Peng didn't dare to rush up. Wei reported the situation here and asked Xu Wei to come to Ji County as soon as possible, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of deserters in Yuan Shao's hands would all escape!

After Xu Wei received Duan Peng's request for help, he immediately dispatched Sun Qing's 3 cavalry to support Duan Peng!

Half a day later, Sun Qing's 3 cavalry joined Duan Peng.

Sun Qing approached Duan Peng and asked, "How's the situation?"

Duan Peng smiled bitterly and said: "The Han army probably escaped halfway, and Yuan Shao has obviously learned how to deal with our cavalry of the rattan armor army. If we really want to fight like this, the casualties must be not small!"

Sun Qing smiled confidently: "They can't run. The road from here to Jizhou is a plain area, which is the most suitable battlefield for our cavalry of the Rattan Armored Army. It is impossible for them to run with two legs than our four legs Let them run! When they run out of strength, we can defeat their hundreds of thousands of troops with a single charge!"

Duan Peng thought for a while and said: "This is still too passive, we have to find a way to take the initiative, you are here to see Yuan Shao and the others, and when Qu Shuai leads the army to support, I will find a way to cross the river from the upper reaches of the Luohe River, and we will attack them from both sides! "

Sun Qing thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so she nodded in agreement!Then Duan Peng led 3 cavalry to the upper reaches of Luohe to find a bridge to cross the river!

Yuan Shao and the others naturally saw Duan Peng and his cavalry leaving, their faces changed drastically, and they naturally knew that this was the Tengjia Army trying to get through Luohe.If the Luohe line of defense is gone, their hundreds of thousands of troops will really fight against the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Tengjia Army on the plain!The consequences are simply not something they can bear!
Yuan Shao immediately said to Zhang He: "Junyi, you lead the cavalry to follow the cavalry of the Tengjia Army. You must find a way to prevent them from crossing the river, or our army will be in danger!"

Zhang He said with an ugly face: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Although the temperature at night is low, the temperature during the day is not low. If the Tengjia army finds a shoal and forcibly crosses the river, it will be difficult for me to resist. Luohe is hundreds of miles long and everywhere It is a place where you can cross the river! It is difficult for me to stop the progress of the Fujiko army!"

Yuan Shao thought for a while and said: "It doesn't take too long to be blocked, just three days, and within these three days we will retreat to Zhuojun. There are many rivers and swamps in Zhuojun, which is the most unsuitable for cavalry in Youzhou. In this area, we have to establish a battle line in Zhuojun to prevent the Tengjia Army from continuing to go south, otherwise, if we continue to retreat like this, the morale of the army will collapse.

Zhuojun can be said to be the most suitable place for Yuan Shao and others to defend in Youzhou. To the west of Zhuojun is Taihang Mountain and Wuruan Pass to block the enemy from the north. There are many rivers in the middle, including Juma River, Yishui River, and Rushui River. Dishui and other large and small rivers can establish a solid defensive front. The entire Youzhou is the most unsuitable battlefield for cavalry in the area of ​​Zhuojun, and there are hundreds of miles of swampland near the sea in the east.

It can be said that if Yuan Shao and the others cannot resist the attack of the Tengjia Army in Zhuojun, then it is impossible to defend the great plain of Jizhou.
