Chapter 363: The Yellow Turbans
Wang Bao's brother Wang Weng found Wang Bao immediately after learning about it and said anxiously, "Now that the powerful enemy is outside, our only hope for survival is the reinforcements from the plains. Now we have to drive Zhao Yun away because of Wu Yan. This is not going to kill everyone." Do you force me on the road? Brother, you must never do this!"
At this time, Wang Bao learned that Zhao Yun's military camp was on guard. Zhao Yun himself was fully clothed and stood alone outside the gate of the military camp, as if waiting for him to go. He said to Wang Weng, "Brother Weng, you are right, but Your Majesty has given such an order, what should we, my subordinates, do?"
Wang Weng looked around and said in a low voice, "Brother, you have also seen that Jiao He doesn't listen to our advice and only listens to the words of those wizards. There is no sign of a wise master!"
Now Your Majesty is hunting in the west, and Guandong has been divided among the princes. I heard that Sun Jian killed Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, killed Qiao Mao, the governor of Yanzhou. Other counties and counties are also having their own disputes. The era of great chaos has arrived.
Among Qingzhou, Kong Rong talks freely, Jiao He is dull, the only one who can achieve great things is Pingyuan Ma Qiang!
Although Jiao Cishi is mediocre, he is right in what he said. I am afraid that Ma Qiang's visit this time is not just for the Yellow Turbans. He is Xiangzhuang's sword dance, aiming at Pei Gong!"
Wang Bao trembled and looked at Wang Weng. He already knew what his younger brother was thinking.
"The commander-in-chief has been defeated in consecutive battles. The generals and officers in the army have already been angry with him, so why not take this opportunity!" Wang Weng made a gesture, which caught Wang Bao's wit and hurriedly stopped him.
Wang Bao took a breath, and then said, "This is not a trivial matter! Don't you know that Ma Qiang is not friendly to our wealthy nobles? How many people died in that plain!"
Wang Weng sighed and said with a smile, "Most of the land in this world is in the hands of our noble clan. If we don't kill some people, how can Ma Qiang raise his troops?"
But no matter who he kills, he will not kill meritorious ministers like us. Otherwise, how can he win the hearts of the people?
What's more, we are the Donglai Wang family, not the Langya Wang family. We won't have a big tree that attracts the wind, but we can be like horse bones, so what are we afraid of?"
Wang Bao thought for a while, narrowed his eyes and said, "The ancients said that a wise minister chooses his master to do his work, and a good bird chooses a tree to roost, that's all. Let's look at the fate of the envoy. If the strong horse cannot destroy the yellow scarf outside the city, then we will not move. If Na Ma Qiang can defeat 600,000 Yellow Turbans with 20,000 soldiers and horses, it means that he can be the lord of Qingzhou! Let the envoy do the last good deed for us!"
Wang Bao and Wang Weng had reached an agreement, so Wang Bao rode alone to Zhao Yun's barracks to express his goodwill. Wang Weng led his bodyguard to replace Jiao He with the surrounding sergeants, and quietly placed Jiao He under house arrest.
Not to mention the changes in Licheng, outside the city, Xu He and Sima Ju had also received news of the approaching soldiers and horses from Pingyuan.
"Plain soldiers and horses are brave and good at fighting. Zhao Yun made us suffer a big loss before. Now Ma Qiang comes with 20,000 soldiers and horses in a fierce manner. The person who comes is not good..." Sima Ju looked at
Xu He and Sima Ju were two people. Xu He was wise and Sima Ju was brave. The two of them cooperated with each other tacitly. This is one of the reasons why Qingzhou Yellow Turban has developed so powerfully.
"Ma Qiang started his career by killing me, the Yellow Turban. Facing us, he must be arrogant. I think we can use the arrogant soldier strategy!" Xu He pointed at the map and said, "Look, Zhu'a is Ma Qiang's military base. From here we can control the waterway directly along the Jishui River, so I judge that Ma Qiang's troops will go all the way out of Zhu'a, from west to east, and cross the waterway all the way down to Taixian County to attack Dongpingling. In this way, we can encircle and annihilate our troops south of the Jishui River. !”
The map in Xu He's hand was captured from the army and was of good quality.
"Then how to use the arrogant soldier's strategy?"
"To the southeast of Dongpingling, there is a mountainous area called Zhujiayu, which can be used for ambush. There is also a mountain to the northeast called Heban Mountain, which can also be used for ambush. Our army can retreat steadily from Jishui to these two mountains.
In the meantime, then there will be a large-scale army uprising and a three-pronged attack. I don’t believe that we can’t defeat him, Ma Qiang!”
Sima Ju clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Let him see my Yellow Turban skills!"
——North Bank of Jishui
Ma Qiang looked at the Yellow Turbans who were being chased by Hua Xiong like a bunch of ducks. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Wen He, I think these Yellow Turbans just have too many people. They fight completely without rules and don't have many bows, crossbows or armor.
How come our Jiao Cishi has been defeated repeatedly in battles? Speaking of the Thirteen States of Han Dynasty, now that the Yellow Turban Army has turned him into such a Cishi, this Scorpion Shit is the only one, right?"
Jia Xu looked at the telescope for a while before putting it down. He shook his head and said, "Ming Gong, something is wrong. This bandit army defeated Jiao He many times. Logically, they should have captured a lot of ordnance and supplies. Our army did not blockade them when they went south."
According to the news, since the bandits knew that they were setting up defenses on the south bank, how could they send such troops?"
Ma Qiang touched his chin. He couldn't figure out what was true. He said casually, "Probably all the ordnance is damaged. This war is really expensive."
What Ma Qiang said is correct. This weapon is not easy to make, but it is easy to wear and tear. A sword can be used as a saw after a fierce battle, let alone a bow and crossbow. What if it is thrown into the river?
Being cut by a sharp weapon, these things are not as durable as the thermal weapons of later generations.
"Electricity was sent to Zhao Yun and Zhu Alinhai of Licheng City and asked them to monitor the movements of the bandit troops under Licheng City. If there is any change, report them immediately!" Ma Qiang understood that he should take advantage of his technological advantages. After Ma Qiang successfully crossed the river,
Hua Xiong came to Ma Qiang covered in blood, raised his hands and said with a smile, "Ming Gong, our army defeated the bandit army! At least a thousand people were killed! Our army lost less than thirty!"
It has to be said that the northwest troops led by Hua Xiong were all proficient in killing skills. They were all murderers. In Xingyang, they were completely crushed by Jia Xu's ingenuity and Ma Qiang's technology, otherwise there would be no way.
So easy to take.
"The bandit army is at least five to six hundred thousand. Don't underestimate the enemy. Clean the battlefield and prepare to go to Tai County!" After Ma Qiang gave the order, he left a thousand people to guard the retreat, and the army continued to move south.
Hua Xiong continued to go south, and within ten miles, he saw an army camp outside the apricot forest. Hua Xiong was not polite and ordered an attack. Within a moment of fighting, the yellow scarf sergeants in the army camp became like birds and beasts and scattered. Hua Xiong watched this scene
, suddenly it felt like deja vu.
"Ming Gong has an order. If you win, continue south and go straight to Tai County!"
"promise!"
Hua Xiong accepted the order, immediately cleaned the battlefield, and continued southward. Ma Qiang arrived with his troops and horses, leaving a hundred men behind to guard the road, while the others went straight to Tai County without stopping.
After Ma Qiang's soldiers and horses had gone away, the weak-headed scholar came to the apricot forest, looked at the surrounding terrain, and said with a smile, "It is obvious that an ambush can be carried out here, but the military stronghold is set up outside... I wonder if Jia Wenhe can see through it."
