Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 1115 Changes in Qingzhou

Zhang Liao was dissatisfied with the panic of the soldiers, and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, speak slowly, what happened?"

"Xiaozhi just got the news that Cao Zhang's order has been delivered, and Yu Xin is calling all the generals and generals to discuss matters in the big tent."

Zhang Liao sneered, didn't Cao Zhang give orders all the time?What's so strange about this.

Seeing that Zhang Liao didn't take it seriously, the soldiers immediately said anxiously: "General, this time is different, Cao Zhang has issued a gold medal order!"

The Gold Medal Order is also an order to deploy troops. Zhang Liao also knew that it was Cao Zhang's highest military order. As if Cao Zhang had arrived in person, Zhang Liao also realized the seriousness of the problem. He pondered for a moment, then turned around and ordered: "Assemble the soldiers immediately!"

Zhang Liao's decades of fighting on the battlefield made him unusually sensitive to danger. When he heard that Cao Zhang's troop transfer gold medal had arrived at the barracks, he realized that the moment of his final turn was coming.

Zhang Liao put on his armor and got on his horse. At this moment, the front was full of flames. Lieutenant General Xin led thousands of soldiers to surround him from three sides. The soldiers held torches, swords and spears in their hands.

Yu Xin and Zhang Liao were their masters, and they were fighting for military power. They finally turned their faces. Behind Yu Xin, three Lang generals and dozens of tooth generals were all in full armor, and their eyes were fierce, staring at Zhang Liao like wolves.

"Zhang Liao listen up!"

Yu Xin no longer called General Zhang Liao, but called him by his first name. His voice was hoarse, and there was a low growl like a beast in his throat. He raised his knife and pointed at Zhang Liao, "Young Master Zhang ordered us to return to Youzhou. For the sake of Cao Jun, you can go, if you dare to stop, then don't blame me for being cruel."

Zhang Liao sighed inwardly, Cao Zhang really ordered them to withdraw northward, which undoubtedly means abandoning Qingzhou, he had no choice but to say loudly: "You must obey the orders of Mr. The overall situation is the most important thing, staying in Qingzhou, the Han army going north to Bohai County is just a delay, they will definitely go south to Qingzhou, I hope."

Before Zhang Liao finished speaking, the surrounding soldiers shouted, "We are from Youzhou, we want to go back to our hometown!"

The shouts were so loud that Zhang Liao's voice was drowned out. Yu Xin sneered and said to Zhang Liao, "Do you understand? We are the Youzhou Army, so what does Qingzhou have to do with us! I'll give you another chance, and you leave now. otherwise"

As soon as Yu Xin raised his hand, thousands of soldiers raised their crossbows and aimed at Zhang Liao and his five hundred soldiers. Zhang Liao sighed and turned to the soldiers, "Let's go!"

Zhang Liao turned his horse's head and led five hundred soldiers to rush out of the camp. The surrounding soldiers rushed forward. Yu Xin stopped the restless soldiers and shouted sharply: "Let them go!"

Soon, Zhang Liao led his soldiers and left the barracks, turned to the west, and gradually disappeared into the night. Yu Xin laughed triumphantly, and turned to the generals, "Pack up your bags, and we will return to Youzhou after dawn!"

There was a burst of cheers in the camp, and the soldiers began to pack their luggage. The big tent disappeared, bags of grain were put on the cart, and weapons were bundled into bundles. At the same time, on a hill not far from the military camp, Zhang Liao He was silently watching Daying, his eyes full of melancholy.

At this time, a confidant who had followed him for many years said in a low voice: "Cao Wei has internal and external troubles, the general situation is over, why doesn't the general find another way out?"

Zhang Liao shook his head, "I don't know, but Wei Gong treats me well. When he is in distress, how can I abandon him for my own benefit!"

After speaking, Zhang Liao let out a long sigh, and said to the soldiers behind him, "Let's go!"

He turned his horse's head and ran down the mountain, and all the soldiers urged the horses one after another, followed behind Zhang Liao, and galloped away into the distance

After daybreak, the Youzhou Army, which had successfully escaped Zhang Liao's control, returned to the north. Most of the soldiers were from Youzhou, not only because of Cao Zhang's order, but more of them were homesick and eager to return to their hometown. The combination of the two forces made Youzhou Zhou's return to the north was extremely smooth, and Zhang Liao could only leave sadly.

Two days later, [-] Youzhou troops entered Pingyuan County, preparing to cross the Yellow River from Gaotang County to the north. Pingyuan County is opposite the Yellow River in Gaotang County. This area is a famous grain-producing area in Hebei, and Pingyuan County can get food supplements.

More importantly, the Han army was in the Nanpi area of ​​Bohai County. They had to bypass Bohai County and return to Youzhou from Hejian County.

Gaotang County is a famous ferry crossing in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. This area is low-lying and the water flow is gentle. It is an ideal place to cross the Yellow River. Especially both sides are agriculturally developed areas with a large population, so the demand for crossing the river is also very strong.

In the morning, [-] Youzhou troops arrived at the bank of the Yellow River. It was late October at this time, the autumn wind was bleak, the leaves were flying, the millet had been harvested and put into storage, and the ground was gray and black.

Today is a big year for grain, and all parts of the world are enjoying a bumper harvest of grain. Pingyuan County, the largest grain-producing county in Hebei, also has a bumper harvest of grain. The warehouse is full of new grain. lure.

Like other Cao troops, the Youzhou army also used rafts to cross the river. The rafts are easy to carry and can be combined at will. Large-scale rafts can even cross more than a hundred cavalry at a time. Although the rafts cannot be used for water warfare, they are only for crossing the river. It is more convenient than ships and is generally welcomed by Cao Jun.

Within an hour, thousands of large and small rafts were thrown into the Yellow River, and [-] soldiers paddled across the river on rafts. There were dense black spots on the river. Although Gaotang County crossed the river easily, the river was very wide. , which is more than ten miles long, and it will take at least an hour to cross the Yellow River.

Admiral Xin also boarded a large raft and looked eastward. For some reason, he felt uneasy. This uneasiness came from the fact that he went north smoothly and marched hundreds of miles northwest from Qi County. They did not encounter any problems. Intercepted, and did not encounter Han army scouts, the Han army seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Yu Xin's 20 years of military experience also told him that this situation is abnormal, and there must be some kind of hidden danger. Although he faintly realizes that something is wrong, the soldiers are eager to return home, and he can't just stop because of a kind of inner anxiety. forward.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly pointed to the west and shouted: "General, warship!"

Yu Xin turned his head suddenly, and saw countless warships appearing on the river behind him at some point, with sails like clouds, galloping towards them through the waves.

Yu Xin kept complaining. He had been guarding against the Han army coming from the east, and sent countless scouts to patrol the banks of the Yellow River in the east. They didn't find any Han army warships, but he didn't expect that the Han army was not in Bohai County, but in Bohai County. behind them.

Yu Xin shouted anxiously: "Back to the shore! Quickly back to the shore!"

His shout was covered by the wind and could not spread very far, but at this time all the soldiers of the Youzhou Army on the river found the Han army warships coming, and they panicked. The timing of the Han army's appearance was very precise, just as Cao Jun crossed the river Killing out in the middle of the time and attacking in the middle of the crossing made it too late for most of Cao's army to retreat and advance, and there was a horrified shout on the river.

Gan Ning sneered on the first two thousand stone warship. He led his army to Hebei just for this moment, to ambush the Cao army in Youzhou. The Han army has been going north for more than two months. When the time war finally came, the ten thousand sailors were all gearing up to fight bravely to be the first. Hundreds of warships rushed towards the countless Cao Jun rafts on the water like sharp swords.

The turbid waves soared into the sky, the screams resounded across the river, and the rafts capsized under the violent impact of the Han warships. There were Cao soldiers who fell into the water everywhere. But it was the ruthless arrows of the soldiers of the Han army.

The rafts can only be used to cross the river, but they are helpless in the face of the attack of the navy's warships, and even without the impact of the Han army's warships, the water waves discharged by just passing by are enough to overturn the large leather rafts.

One hundred Han warships of two thousand shi were rampant on the surface of the Yellow River. A dozen back and forth, thousands of rafts were basically knocked over. Plasma stained the river, and there were broken and leaky rafts floating here and there.

Under the desperate paddles of many soldiers, Yu Xin finally rushed to the north bank of the Yellow River first. On the north bank, more than [-] soldiers of the Youzhou army gathered on the north bank. , everyone was terrified and didn't know what to do with them.

Just as General Xin came ashore, the Youzhou Army soldiers on the shore suddenly burst into shouts of panic. As soon as Yu Xin looked up, he saw two Han troops, one left and one right, attacking Cao Jun on the shore. The birds were frightened, no one organized resistance, and they ran in all directions.

A Han army brandished an iron spear to kill him. Yu Xin's horse and sword had already fallen into the water. He couldn't escape, so he had to pick up a spear and stab him head-on. This Han general was Ling Tong. He and Ding Feng each led Five thousand troops waited on the north and south banks to wipe out the remnants and defeated generals of the Youzhou Army.

Ling Tong had seen Yu Xin long ago, Yu Xin's armor showed his extraordinary status, this is a credit; how could Ling Tong let it go, he picked up the big iron spear, picked up the spear in Yu Xin's hand, and pressed his wrist, 'Puff! A shot pierced Yu Xin, and Yu Xin screamed and died on the spot. It's a pity that he just escaped the killing on the river, but died in Ling Tong's hand again.

Ling Tong raised his corpse high, and the cheers of the surrounding Han troops resounded through the sky.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, Ding Feng also led [-] Han troops to encircle and suppress more than [-] Cao soldiers who fled back. Cao soldiers knelt and surrendered one after another, and no one had the heart to resist.

In just one hour, 2 Youzhou Cao troops were wiped out by the Han army, and more than [-] Cao soldiers died in the Yellow River, and the number of casualties even exceeded that of the original war.

Two days later, the warships of the Han army reappeared on the sea outside Le'an County. Thirty thousand Han troops landed in Qingzhou and reoccupied Qi County. This time, the Han army no longer confronted the Cao army. army.

But to the surprise of Gan Ning and Lu Xun, shortly after the Han army re-entered Qi County, they received an urgent order from the King of Han, ordering them to negotiate a peace with Cao Xiu.
