——Zhongshan County

An army slowly walked on the official road of Zhongshan County.

This army, under the banner of the Han army, wrote the word Huaiyi, which was the Youzhou soldiers and horses led by Ma Qiang.

After Ma Qiang made all preparations, he ordered troops to be sent to Jizhou on June 15th. The army included Shanggu. Wuhuanyi from Wuhuanyi in western Liaoning was 5,000, and the fifth battalion's Hongxing Camp expanded totaled 20,000 infantrymen. In addition, Sima Liu Bei, Kou Xian and Han Heng's troops, a total of about 30,000 were in power. He took Fan Yang over Yishui and rushed into Jizhou.

"According to the news from the scouts, there were no main force of moth thieves in Zhongshan and Changshan. Zhang Jiao seemed to have hoarded all the main military forces in Wei County, Zhao County and Julu County. It seems that in his eyes, we are not a threat at all."

On the carriage, Duan Ying and Ma Qiang sat opposite each other, and there was a map among them.

A large number of marks of various colors are marked on the map, which are all information obtained by Yan Rou's subordinates constantly spying on them.

"Then tell Zhang Jiao that we are here, where are the moths in Zhongshan hoarding?"

"The moth thieves are very scattered, almost in every county. The moth thieves in Zhongshan County mainly collect food and grass for the front line. All of them are fighting everywhere here. The original families of the great clans gathered to protect themselves. The moth thieves are also fighting this family today and that one tomorrow.

By the way, most of the moth thieves who were driven to Jizhou by our army were gathered in Zhongshan and Hejian counties. According to estimates, there are at least 20,000 moth thieves in the two places, but there are not many elite troops."

Are bandits...

"How is the Wuji Zhen family?"

"They were very good. They sent people to contact us several times before, and they also established Wubao to defend themselves. Because they had distributed money extensively, the people of Wuji were willing to help them. The moth thieves also heard that they treated the people well, so they did not attack."

"Since it is so scattered, I will eat it one by one. Let Liu Bei lead his troops to attack Yangcheng, Guo Jin to attack Wangdu, and Lin Hai to attack Puyin. Each team will be equipped with five hundred cavalry, and the rest will go to Tang County with me!"

Ma Qiang is really rich now, and he starts to play games like in later generations. No matter what main force he is or not, he will give it to me!

Since the terrain of Zhongshan is high in the west and low in the east, the places Ma Qiang attacked were all plains, and he was not afraid of any ambush, so Duan Ying was too lazy to care.

For a moment, the Yellow Turban Army in Zhongshan County found that their free and easy robbery days suddenly became difficult, and the Yellow Turban Army who had transferred from Youzhou recognized the source of these cavalry at a glance.

The tiger in Youzhou finally came out of the mountain!

When Ma Qiang arrived in Tang County, Tang County had already left the city empty. Ma Qiang was so proud that he could even beat others one day and escape!

"It seems that there are capable people in the thief army." Kou Xian walked over and said, "There is no danger around Tang County. The thief army gave up so simply, and must be waiting for us in front."

...Oh, I wasn't scared away by me.

Ma Qiang was a little disappointed.

"The military advisor thought the moth thieves would choose to fight our army?"

"It must be Xia Quyang. Xia Quyang has two rivers that can stop our army, but before Xia Quyang, there might be a fierce battle in Lu Nu." Duan Ying was very familiar with the terrain of Jizhou and had a long time to think about it.

"Xiao Quyang, then we'll go to Julu County." Ma Qiang recalled the map and said.

"The thief army's food and grass are all stored in Julu, and they confront our army in Zhongshan County. They can't guarantee that our cavalry is much better than the thief army."

"Since that's the case, keep going south! After getting ready, go home early!"

Ma Qiang issued military orders, and all parties had their own movements. As Duan Ying judged along the way, no city could resist, and even many lonely Han troops and soldiers moved to the scene and intercepted and killed the Yellow Turban Army everywhere. This way, it was not so much arbitrage that it was a suitable armed parade.

——Yecheng

Zhang Jiao looked at the battle report coming from Zhongshan, sighed, and handed it to Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang next to him.

"Ma Qiang has left Youzhou. Our army in Zhongshan County has not released elite troops. Now Zhang Niujiao has hoarded his troops to Xiaquyang according to my previous instructions. If Xiaquyang is captured, the Youzhou army will enter Julu."

Zhang Bao narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother, don't worry, Ma Qiang is just a child, I'll kill him!"

Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "I have this intention. Our army in Yecheng can no longer defend. I am going to withdraw my troops to Guangzong. Guangzong has Qinghe, Zhangshui and Jiangshui as barriers. Our army has built a large number of fortifications there. I think we can guard it for more than a year and wait for the overall situation of the world to change.

Second brother, go to Quyang and block the soldiers and horses of Youzhou. The Wuhuan cavalry in Youzhou used to help Emperor Guangwu sweep away all the heroes. They are known as the famous cavalry in the world. Although it has been more than a hundred years, the remaining power of the tiger is still alive and cannot be underestimated.

And that Ma Qiang, don’t underestimate him, remember that once you are defeated, the overall situation will be out of control.”

Zhang Bao bowed and responded, and went to prepare for his troops to go north to Quyang. Zhang Jiao looked at Lu Zhi camp not far away and said to himself, "Lu Zhonglang, Yecheng will be given to you first, we will fight again in Guangzong!"

When Zhang Jiao calculated the rain, then Ye Yu evacuated the whole army and fought fiercely for several months. It took two days of heavy rain. It was not until the third day that Lu Zhi found that Zhang Jiao was gone, and he couldn't help but sigh that Zhang Jiao was indeed extraordinary.

After Lu Zhi recovered Yecheng, he followed Guangzong all the way.

Guangzong belongs to Julu County, and is at the junction of the four counties of Anping, Wei County, Julu and Qinghe. At the junction of Qinghe, there is a boundary bridge that later determined the battle of hegemony in Hebei in history.

Lu Zhi led his army to Pingen, and Guangzong was further north.

"Guangzong is surrounded by water on three sides, and only the south can attack. Fortunately, the area on the south is vast and forty miles, which is enough for our army to attack the city." The clerk pointed to the map and said, "The moth thief will choose here in the battlefield. It seems that he wants to continue to waste time with us."

"Zong Zhonglang, how many thieves do you think there are in Guangzong?"

"I can't stand 200,000, of which no less than 100,000 people can fight."

"It's another fierce battle..."

"Let's try it first and see how many ambush Zhang Jiao has set up here!"

As Lu Zhi's military order was issued, ten thousand Han troops walked towards the Yellow Turban Army camp outside Guangzong City in neat steps.

After about a hundred steps, the Yellow Turban Army flags that were originally blocking the camp suddenly fell down. Then, countless earthen buildings appeared in front of the Han army.

"What is this?" Lu Zhi looked at these earthen buildings and immediately thought to himself that something was wrong.

With a drum sound, countless arrows shot out from the earthen building. Due to the height bonus of the earthen building, these arrows shot farther than usual. More importantly, the arrows of the Han army could not hurt the Yellow Turban Army hiding in the earthen building at all.

If Ma Qiang was here, he would have admired Zhang Jiao's imagination and actually designed a bunker in this era and built a bunker group!

Lu Zhi knew at a glance that the Ten Thousand Han troops could not beat the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side, so he quickly ordered the withdrawal.

Looking at the cheering Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side, Lu Zhi couldn't think of any good way to break the enemy for a moment. The earthen building on the opposite side could only be defeated by throwing a car, but throwing a car was time-consuming and laborious to build it. It seemed that it was impossible to win quickly.
