I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 170 Evil Sect
Of course Ma Jia came here to report military intelligence.

However, there are some issues with timeliness.

After all, he came out too early, which was enough to remind Taiyuan County to prepare for war. But when Su Yao arrived now, the army had already approached the door, and the information he received was obviously a bit outdated.

But fortunately, after the prisoners of war confirmed it from the other side, the situation of the White Wave Army's march can be roughly described.

Guo Tai, the leader of Baibo, has gathered more than 100,000 people to expand along the Fen River.

After the initial momentum of their northward advance was interrupted by Su Yao, they turned to focus on affairs east of Hedong.

They conquered Pingyang, Jiangyi, Linfen, Jicheng and other counties, looted arsenals, and became more and more powerful. Two-thirds of the territory in the county fell into the hands of Baibo's army.

However, Wang Yi, the governor of Hedong, and all the noble families in Hedong can only huddle around Anyi (today's Yuncheng area), relying on Sushui to gather in Wubao Manor.

After they blocked Guo Taijin's troops several times, everyone formed a situation in which they separated themselves from each other, confronted each other, and maintained the status quo.

Guo Tai naturally turned his attention to the north after his southward advance was blocked.

"Li Le, who has lived in the east of Hedong for a long time, is from a local wealthy family. He is capable of both literary and military skills. Ever since Mrs. Guo rose to power in the Baibo Valley, the whole family has followed him. He is very knowledgeable in the military, far beyond the ordinary Yellow Turban thieves."

The latest news now is that the two armies are divided into two groups in Qixian County. Li Le leads the troops to sweep around Jinyang, while Yang Feng marches all the way eastward, blocking the Shangdang reinforcements and trying to connect with the Montenegrin army in the Taihang Mountains.

Majia explained.

General Yang Feng of the front army, General Li Le of the rear army, General Han Xian of the left army and General Hu Cai of the right army, except Guo Tai who had 20,000 soldiers, the others each led an army of 10,000.

But that was not the case with Li Le.

The two men each commanded two thousand soldiers, not to mention that they could lead them to raise the flag anyway, but there was no problem in causing Yang Feng's army to fall into chaos.

What Ma Jia is talking about now is the information collected by Xu Huang and others.

He did not dare to report truthfully, so he bluffed and lied that there were thousands of officers and soldiers in Taiyuan.

It turned out that Yang Feng was frightened by the rumor at that time. How could one ride against a thousand and conquer the city alone?

Although the county town of Jiexiu was fortified, there were so many thieves that it was captured within a few days.

Then, as the Baibo Army expanded, more and more people were coerced, and it was natural for Yang Feng's department to recruit more people.

The former general Li Le led more than 10,000 troops, and the rear general Yang Feng also led nearly 10,000 troops. At the invitation of the former King Xiutu, they went north along the Fenhe River and entered Taiyuan again.

In the meeting hall, Cheng Lian said in surprise.

"Wait a minute, then why does Yang Feng have more than 10,000 soldiers?"

"But Yang Fengbu is not the key point. The key to this battle is Li Le." Ma Jia cupped his hands and said.

It turns out that the Baibo bandits are not the orthodox Yellow Turban Army. Apart from a small number of mountain bandits and bandits, most of them are from around the Fen River. They are composed of local people, officials and wealthy families.

But he still remembered that when they first fought against the Baibo Army, they already knew that Mrs. Guo had four kings, not four generals.

Of course, this suddenly frightened Mr. Guo. He was afraid that the imperial court would come to sue him. After demoting Yang Feng from the general of the front army to the general of the rear army, he urgently added some troops to him and ordered him to defend to the death.

The reason why Yang Feng is not the focus is simple. Xu Huang and Tu Chuan have become Yang Feng's right-hand men.

Just over a month had passed, so why did Yang Feng bring out more than 10,000 people?
"Ah, this is"

At that time, Yang Feng's troops rushed in and underestimated the enemy. Su Yao, who was still just the commander of the camp, killed 4,000 people in two battles. His two generals, Wang Dayan, had their heads exposed to the public, and Xu Huang was secretly taken into custody.

These people suffered from exploitation by the imperial court and local officials, and had long been dissatisfied. When Mrs. Guo, who had the background of a former Yellow Turban general, came, they naturally became their help.

Separate one side, resist the imperial court, and gain an autonomous world.

"So, these Baibo bandits are more like the local Hedong Army than the Yellow Turbans?" Zhang Liao suddenly realized.

At this moment, he finally felt relieved about the stalemate in Xiangyang Road.

Just like Chang'an, the former capital of the Han Dynasty, it was a place of first importance and three auxiliaries.

Since the capital of the Later Han Dynasty was Luoyang, the land of Three Rivers became a top priority.

Hedong County, Hanoi County, and Henan County, the land of three rivers, became the most important military base for the imperial court.

The Knights of Three Rivers also took up the mission of defending the territory of the Later Han Dynasty during these hundreds of years. In wars and conflicts one after another, the Knights of Three Rivers became famous all over the world.

Therefore, it is natural that the athletes from Hedong are more brave.

Those warriors from Hedong, wearing formal Han armor, would be a very capable group among the local soldiers of the Han Dynasty. It is understandable that he, Zhang Liao, took the barbarians who were temporarily recruited and fought hard.

But thinking of this, Zhang Liao looked at Su Yao with more awe.

Whether it is the lax discipline of the Hu people or the brave and brave warriors of Hedong, there seems to be no difference at all under the sword of Governor Su...

That's indeed true. After listening to a lot of background information, Su Yao, who almost fell asleep, was only concerned about one thing:
"Where is the blame? How many are there? When will the killing begin?"

"what?"

"Li Shuai, this seems to be a bit evil."

"It's been three days since we sent reinforcements, why is there no movement at all?"

In Fenyang County, on the bank of the Wenyu River, about a hundred miles away from Xiangyang Road, more than two thousand Baibo troops were camping here.

Hao Song, the Marquis of Qujun, was nervous for two days and finally couldn't help asking Li Qi, the carefree young marshal of the rear army in front of him, for instructions:

"It doesn't matter if there is no letter from Commander Li Wen. The sentry sent to sentry cavalry has not come back yet. This is not good."

“There’s something wrong”

Li Qi, a brother of the Li Le clan who led three thousand soldiers and was responsible for handling rear problems, naturally discovered the problem.

For this reason, he has now called back the troops who were scattered in the countryside to search for food, grass and money, gathered in the camp, and were always ready to deal with emergencies.

But Li Qi now has no idea what happened.
You know, he was ordered to send another 800 people to the Li Wen brothers to support them.

With the terrain of Xiangyang Road, even if thousands of troops and horses come to attack, they will not be able to get through at that time, and there will always be a stalemate for a long time.

It was simply not a place suitable for a large army to fight.

But now there is no reply for a long time, and the sent cavalry and scouts seem to have disappeared from the world, which makes the nearby officers feel nervous.

"It's evil, it's so evil."

Qu Junhou Hao Song said:
"It's almost as if people can be eaten in that tunnel."

"Hao Junhou behaves like this, how unbecoming is it?"

The speaker was another Qu Junhou, Wang Wang.

Wang Junhou, who was having a great time robbed recently, was quite dissatisfied with being called back by Li Xiaoshuai. Seeing how useless Zhang Junhou was in front of him, he suddenly felt angry:
"They're just bullies. What kind of trouble can they cause?"

"I think maybe after our people passed, they won the battle and just pushed past, so they didn't bother to reply to us."

"In two days at most, good news will come."

"If you are still worried, why don't you go and have a look in person? It's better than being bored in this camp all day, isn't it?"

Naturally, Xiao Shuai Li Qi would not agree with this guy's angry words.

His unit of 2,000 men had less than 1,400 men left after 600 men were sent out for support.

There is no way to divide the troops again. If there is a change on the front, wouldn't it be a matter of taking turns to die?

But continuing to sit here is quite demoralizing.

Yes, if the former army is fine, then everything will be fine, but what if something happens to the former army?
What kind of disastrous failure would it take for them to not be able to send back any news?
If even the 2,600-man army fails, will he, who only has a mere 2,300 troops, be his opponent?
The more Li Qi thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

I just feel that I can no longer sit still and wait for death.

"Breaking camp, let's go back to find General Li Le first!"

"Looks like they finally came out of the turtle shell."

At the Xiangyang crossing, before re-erecting the Jingguan, Su Yao said coldly after receiving the report from the cavalry:

"Follow me, the whole army will attack, no one will be spared!"

On the plain, the rested and assembled riders followed Su Yao, swarmed up, and pounced on Li Qi's tribe, who had left the camp and marched slowly northward along the river.

This was his first opponent after entering the Fenhe Plain.
