Chapter 3 Fish Hooked

Yu Fuluo has been happy and confused these days.

Happyly, he suddenly smashed a pile of pies from the sky and solved the burning move. What I wonder is that the new Hechen, the new pastor of Bingzhou, wants to give these things to himself for no reason. I don't know if there is any conspiracy in the middle? The Han people are very easy to use in this aspect.

Out of the felt room, more than a dozen tents arched around each other. Except for a few elderly people who repaired their winter clothes for the winter, it was cold and empty. At this time, the noble people of the grassland, eagle-like men, have to slaughter their favorite horses and go to the mountain to find the bitter roots that are difficult to enter, so that they can maintain the food they need every day. If it goes on like this, how can we get through the cold winter of ice and snow in the northwest?

Yu Fuluo stood there quietly, allowing the cold northwest wind to whistle through his weather-beaten face. In his life, he was as old and staggering like a flower armor. He had no ambition and ambition a few years ago, like a hero and a beautiful face. His turbid eyes stared at the north, and it was said that in the depths of the grassland, which was his most beautiful hometown.

Yu Fuluo, holding the title to the corpse of Hou Shanyu. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was the son of the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Qiangqu, the brother of Huchuquan, and the father of Liu Bao. In 187, in order to fight against Zhang Chun and Xianbei, the Eastern Han Dynasty transferred troops to the Xiongnu, and Qiangqu sent Zuo Xianwang to send troops. In the following year, in 188, a coup took place in the Southern Xiongnu, Qiangqu was killed, and the Marquis of Xubugu was appointed as Shanyu. Therefore, Yu Furo led the crowd to the Han Dynasty to complain about his grievances, and then stayed in the Han Dynasty. Yu Fro wanted to return to his hometown several times, but he couldn't get permission from the Hanting. After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Yu Fuluo took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and merged with the Baibo thieves to invade Taiyuan, Hanoi and other places. Dong Zhuo, who was originally ordered to conquer, returned to the capital of Han because of the secret edict of the general He Jin. In 190, the 18th princes asked for Dong Zhuo, and Yu Fuluo, like Zhang Yang, the assassin of Bingzhou, paid Yuan Shao and stationed troops in Zhangshui. Later, after civil strife with the princes, the coalition army fell apart. Due to the difficulty of food and fodder, he fell out with Yuan Shao. Yu Fuluo once again led tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry to work back to his old line and stationed in Pingyang and Hexi.

It's just that now it's not easy to be a bandit. They have made ten expeditions and returned empty-handed nine times.

The substance promised by He Chen is indeed sending carbon in the snow, which allows his people to survive this difficult winter. As for the conspiracy and tricks hidden in the other party, hum, how can people with their two feet run over a four-legged healthy horse? Thinking of this time, Yu Fuluo's spirit was slightly refreshed, and he couldn't help but look forward to the supplies and fodder mentioned by the Han envoy Deng Zhi. According to what he said, it should not take a decade to arrive, right?

It is said that the 300 vehicles of supplies escorted by Zhang Liao slowly moved to Hexi County. Along the way, he did not hide his whereabouts, so he went on the road generously and unscrupulously without scruples.

The 500 soldiers led by Xu Huang, disguised as the people, were scattered in all directions.

Soon, a few days after the team left the Xuan family, the clever Zhang Liao found that there were many suspicious and sneaky figures hanging far behind. And the more you gather.

The fish is starting to take the bait!

When I arrived at Tongqin (now Qin County), I waited to report and found several people, ranging from eight to nine hundred to thousands.

Zhang Liao was secretly shocked. The white wave thief was really powerful. No wonder he could conquer the heavily guarded county one after another. This is just a few of the peripheral forces. If the main force comes, I'm afraid that I can only scatter the birds and beasts and run away in confusion.

Two more days have passed.

It is said that Zhang Liao came out of the next town. Not long after walking, he found something wrong and stretched out his hand to signal the motorcade to stop.

In front of it is a long and narrow canyon. On one side, it cuts the mountain wall and rises thousands of meters from the ground. It is like a round mirror, which is smooth and almost no grass. On the other side is a dense forest. Although it is already Mengdong, the lush forest vegetation has no sign of yellowing. It covers the sky with dense air, and it is very easy to hide soldiers.

Zhang Liao looked at the silence of the mountain forest, with a sneer on the corners of his mouth.

Half an hour ago, there was still a gentle call on the edge of the woods on the roadside path. Why was the silence terrible when it arrived at this dense forest? When the sword soldiers enter the forest, the forest birds are bound to fly away. If you guessed it right, I'm afraid there are ambush here. I guess they have almost touched themselves and chose to do it here, intending to get a ticket.

It seems that the Baibo Army is not as vulnerable as he imagined. The leader of the other party is also a person, but he chose a good place. Once the robbery fails, they will drill into the forest. With their familiarity with this terrain, I'm afraid that if a dragon returns to the sea and a tiger enters the mountain forest, no one can do anything.

"Falion." Zhang Liao was not hesitating and shouted coldly.

"Walala" With Zhang Liao's order, the well-trained soldiers quickly put 300 cars into a long square defense line, which was pushed outside, and the soldiers were all hiding in it. Seeing that they are so skilled, it is obvious that they have never practiced the shape of this car.

Suddenly, three cannons came from the forest. Then a cry as thick as a bell roared, "Brothers, go."

"Let's go." The next moment, some messy rushes suddenly resounded through the valley. The sound of drums shook the sky, the banners were dense, and countless soldiers rushed out of the forest.

There were more and more enemy troops. In the end, they left the country like locusts, all over the mountains and fields. They could hardly see their heads, and the number was extremely large.

Zhang Liao's heart sank. According to the posture, it is estimated that there are at least one or twenty thousand horses, which is several times more than his own. These soldiers look in messy clothes. Some are dressed in the clothes of soldiers, and some are dressed up as ordinary people, which looks messy. Even the weapons are all kinds, about half of which are standard weapons. The rest are sticks, sticks, hoes, rakes, and even Zhang Liao saw a few rusty kitchen knives. Under the sun, there are traces of color. Mottled. But without exception, they are wrapped in a unified white belt on their foreheads and hands, which should be the origin of the Baibo army.

Zhang Liao looked solemn and immediately shouted in a long voice, "Ready to fight."

Although the number of enemies is several times that of his own, and the momentum created by the miscellaneous army is extremely amazing, there is no way to say that Nanyang is not the opponent of soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles. Although Zhang Liao did not underestimated the enemy, he really didn't pay attention to them, if it hadn't been for He Chen's order.

... At this time, He Chen had already led the rest of the people into Shangdang County.

Shu Gu, the governor of the upper party, was originally a black thieves. Later, Zhang Yan surrendered the letter to the court. Because of his heavy power, Yu Gu was represented as the governor of the upper party and returned to Zhang Yang's subordinates. This guy obviously didn't know that the good day had come to an end. He knew that Zhang Yan had an inextricable relationship. He was extremely rude to the arrival of He Chen, a new state herdsman. He only cared about drinking at home for fun and didn't go to see him at all.

He Chen didn't mind either. He just kept things in mind and waited for Qiu to settle accounts together.

The first thing He Chen did after arriving at the upper party, but let Lou Gui and Lv Chang lead a thousand people respectively, take their own state pastoral jade seal documents, and rush to Huguan and Fukou in the starry night.

Bingzhou has a pivotal position in the whole northern region. When talking about the situation in Shanxi, Gu Zuyu said, "The situation in Shanxi (Bingzhou) is the most complete." The status of Bingzhou is due to its high terrain overlooking the three sides between Guanzhong, Sili and Hebei. Outside, Taihang Mountain, Lvliang Mountain, Wangwu, Xicheng, Zhongtiao and other mountains form its outer barrier, and the Yellow River in the west is also surrounded; inside, Hengshan, Wutai Mountain, Guanjian Mountain, Taiyue Mountain, Yunzhong Mountain and other mountains are staggered, forming the danger of its inner circle; Fen River, Zhang River, Tuo River, Sanggan River and other rivers flow radially in different directions. In the east and south of Bingzhou, Taihang Mountain stretches for thousands of miles. Due to the crossing of the river, some traffic channels have been formed, the most important of which is the historical name of Taihang Baxing.

The mouth is also known as the mouth.

The caliber is based on Fushan Mountain in the north and Shenji Mountain in the south. The two mountains are facing each other, forming a narrow passage with a length of about 1,000 meters and a width of only 100 meters. It is the key road from Handan, Wei County and Yexi in Hebei Province. Its important position is self-evident. During the Warring States Period, the battle between Qin and Zhao was the rear grain road of the Zhao army and the population of the Qin army advancing eastward. In those years, the 400,000 troops of the State of Zhao marched west from Handan through Fukou. As a result, the whole army was destroyed in the Battle of Changping, and no one survived. The reason why Zhao's army failed, not to mention the famous "paper talk" in history, was that it lost the strategic channel of Gushankou. At the critical juncture of the war, the grain road behind the Zhao army was cut off by the Qin army. As a result, there was an insufficient supply of supplies. In the end, 400,000 troops were killed by Bai Qi, and Zhao Guosheng declined lightly.

If the caliber is on the first defense line of Handan and Yecheng and the front position, then Huguan is the second defense chain stuck in the back. This defense line not only restrains the enemy from the direction of the eastern caliber, but also controls the enemy in the direction of the southern Taihang (Hanoi) and the White Path (Chaoke, Muye). It can be said that it is the barrier of the Shangdang. If the caliber is lost, it will only lose the outpost out of Jizhou in the east, and the offensive and defensive posture will change. However, once the Huguan is not guaranteed, the whole Shangdang County will fall and the state will be in danger.

Of course, He Chen has no intention of plotting Jizhou for the time being. He just wants to cut off the threat from the Montenegrin army from Handan at the suggestion of Guo Jia.

Subsequently, He Chen ordered Zhang Xiu to lead 3,000 soldiers to take over the defense layout of Shangdang County. If there is a resistance order, don't kill.

Then let Liao Hua lead 10,000 soldiers to choose the dangerous terrain outside the city and set up a camp.

After that, He Chen returned to the county government to discuss the follow-up matters with Guo Jia.

A dim candle was lit in the study, and the lamp stamens burned from time to time. Guo Jia, who was standing on the side of He Chen, smiled and said, "At this time, General Wen Yuan is probably very depressed and defeated, right?"

"Haha, this guy must be very upset now." He Chen raised his feet comfortably and put them on the table. There was no image at all, and he was a little gloating.

"The master still needs to prepare early. It is estimated that it won't be long before the news will come." Guo Jia didn't care at all, because he always did this kind of thing.

"Only now has Benzhou Mu regretted it. Why did he leave He Man in Jingzhou? This guy is very good at mountain warfare.
