Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 234
Liu He ordered Zhu Ling to stay in Yuanqu to guard the luggage and belongings. The rest of the soldiers and horses came to Wenxi to meet up. Wang Yi had already ordered someone to send a map.

The Baibo army deployed defenses along the Fenshui River. The Baibo Valley was divided into four divisions towards the confluence of the great river. Hu Cai was in Linfen, Li Le stationed troops in Jiangxian County, Yang Feng occupied Jishan, and Han Siam guarded the mouth of the river in Pishi.

Liu He summoned all the generals to discuss the matter, and said: "Except Mrs. Guo, the thieves are divided into four groups to guard Fenshui for the autumn harvest. You have all studied the art of war under Lu Gong's family for many years, and it is time to test it."

As soon as the generals heard this, they knew that Liu He wanted to train troops. Zhang Fei stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, general, I only need Yan Yunqi to take down a leader."

Liu Heyan said: "It is important to kill the enemy and surrender the thieves this time when we send troops, but we should not kill indiscriminately. The most important thing is to attack the heart and surrender the enemy. Useful."

Everyone nodded. They were conquering the Yellow Turban Army, and they were deeply touched by this. Most of the rebels were forced to have no choice, and were used by people like Guo Tai and others, and became cannon fodder without realizing it.

Cheng Yu said: "The Baibo bandits are quite similar to the Black Mountain bandits, but they are just mobs. When they divide their troops, they must be fighting each other for strength and not giving in to each other. They are really not of the same mind. Why doesn't the general use the strategy of suspicious soldiers first?"

Liu He asked, "Zhongde, please tell me."

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said: "Since the general cut off the yellow scarf, he has been famous all over the world. Then Mrs. Guo was defeated by the general again, so she must be afraid. Now that the general intends to recruit the bandit army, why not recruit all the ministries in the name of the clan. First notify the commanders of the canals with a document, the bandits will doubt each other, and they will not save each other when they are defeated, and the master will use tricks to defeat them one by one, so how can Mrs. Guo do it even if she has the ability to talk?"

"A wonderful plan!" Liu He said with a smile: "This plan will definitely be useful, please trouble Zhongde to write a letter to each of the four, and send it to the camp first."

It's hard to say about the other three, Liu He thinks that Yang Feng is very likely to be tempted, this is the person who took the initiative to cater to Emperor Xian in the later stage, and obviously he is not willing to be a thief.

Cheng Yu went to make preparations, and Liu He sent an order: "Yun Chang led troops to conquer Han Siam in the Pi family, Yide went to Jiang County to suppress Li Le, and Junyi went to Linfen to beg Hu Cai. thief."

The three came out and said, "Obey!"

After thinking for a while, Liu He said to Zhang Fei: "There are a lot of bandits in Jiang County, how about I send Zhong De to help you send troops?"

Just as Zhang Fei was about to leave, his eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked, "The general is the only one who sent a military adviser for me. Could it be that he thinks Lao Zhang is stupid?"

Liu He said with a smile: "I don't mean that, it's just that Mr. Cheng joined the army to save you some trouble."

"No need!" Zhang Fei waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have Qin Liang as the general under my command, and Wang Sicong as the conspiracy. It is enough to deal with the mere Baibo army!"

Liu He was taken aback: "Who is Wang Sicong?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Did the general forget the plan of the commander-in-chief of the Black Mountain Army Qu? After he surrendered, he changed his name to Wang Ji and took the word Sicong. He wanted to be a strategist and strategist. He has studied tactics hard for the past two years and has already gained a lot."

Liu He smiled helplessly. Seeing that Zhang Fei insisted on not wanting help, he had to let him send troops by himself.

Anyway, these people will lead the army alone sooner or later. Zhang Fei's performance in history is not just reckless and reckless. He captured Liu Dai drunk and defeated Yan Yan wisely, which shows that he is not just blindly brave.

Zhang He's subordinates didn't have any lieutenants yet, so Cheng Yu and Zhang He were asked to lead an army to Linfen.

The three of them went to prepare separately, Liu Hecai said to Qu Yi and Yu Jin who looked anxious: "You two led the Xiandeng army to sneak into Baibo Valley and destroy the thief's den. It doesn't matter if Mrs. Guo lives or dies, but try to keep the food and grass as much as possible."

The second general took the order to leave, Liu He asked Hua Xiong to prepare his troops, he wanted to go to Jishan to fight Yang Feng himself, of course the ultimate target was his subordinate Xu Gongming, if someone else went, I was really afraid that Xu Huang would run away.

Not long after Cheng Yu had written the letter, Liu He ordered people to send it out quickly, and all the generals also led their troops to the expedition. This time it was an opportunity for military training and they could use it freely.

Liu He led his troops to Jishan. Guard general Guanqiu Xing had already heard the report and personally brought Liu He into the camp to discuss the matter with the thieves.

Liu He informed Wu Qiuxing of sending a letter to the Fourth Ministry, and said: "I have sent troops to three routes, and the rebel army is short of food. We don't have to stick to it anymore, we have to change the offensive and defensive momentum."

Guanqiu Xingzheng hesitated and said: "The bandit army is powerful, with tens of thousands of troops guarding the river bank, it may be difficult to break through."

A person next to him said: "I think what the general said is true. The Baibo army is all thieves who gather in the mountains and forests. If the general summons him as a clan relative, the thieves everywhere will be moved when they hear that their crimes are forgiven. If you can If you lose for a while, you can disintegrate the morale of the army, and it depends on the battle."

Liu He saw that this person was less than 30 years old, with a short beard and elegant appearance, and asked, "May I ask your name?"

The man clasped his fists and said, "Jia Kui is here."

Seeing Liu He was taken aback, Guan Qiuxing quickly introduced, "Jia Liangdao's real name is Jia Qu, and he is from Xiangling. He was determined to join the army since he was a child, and he knows the art of war well. Joining the army now."

"I see!" Liu He nodded, looked at Jia Kui again, and asked, "Now that the offensive and defensive situation has changed, what is your plan to defeat the enemy?"

"If you want to defeat the bandit army, you must first think of a plan to cross the river," Jia Kui said: "Although the bandit army occupies the river and occupies a powerful position, their troops are weak, their soldiers don't know how to fight, and their weapons are broken. They only need to use up their arrows. Then you can kill to the other side in one fell swoop.”

Liu He nodded and said, "What Mr. said is very agreeable to me. First use the boat to consume the crossbow arrows, and then go ashore to destroy the thieves."

The plan has been decided, Guanqiu Xing ordered people to rush to build boats, and the original boats were also added with top warehouses. He ordered [-] boats to shuttle back and forth in the river every day, making a strong attack.

The bandit army didn't know what to do, as soon as the boat approached, they fired arrows at random. The officers and soldiers hid in the boat and hurried back before reaching the shore. The bandit army thought they had won a big victory and cheered on the shore.

The Baibo army only focused on shooting arrows, and switched to rockets after two days. When ships approached, they used rockets to attack. However, due to the lack of food and fuel in the army, there was no ignition, so there was not much threat to the ships.

In the army here, Guan Qiuxing ordered people to collect the arrows from the ship every day, and found that all the arrows collected that day had turned into wooden arrows, which were made by sharpening swords. Send someone to report to Liu He.

It was just dusk and the wind was favorable from the southeast. Liu He immediately divided his troops across the river in three groups, leading an army each with Wuqiu Xing and Hua Xiong, and sailed straight to the opposite bank.

The officers and soldiers shot arrows together, and they slanted down like a torrential rain. The bandit army on the shore had no bows and arrows to defend, lacked shields, and incomplete armor.

Seeing that they couldn't resist, the rebel army broke up and retreated. Liu He led the troops ashore.

Guan Qiuxing led his troops to guard the boats on the river bank, and ordered his deputy Wei Ning to lead his troops to follow Liu He in pursuit of the rebel army, not to give the rebel army a chance to breathe.

The Baibo army regrouped in Yiting, took up positions on the hillside, and led the army out to meet him. He was tall and thin, with a mustache, and glared at the officers and soldiers who were chasing him.

Without waiting for Liu He to call out, Wei Ning urged him to come forward and cursed: "Yang Feng is a rebel, my brother protects you as an official, why did you collude with the thieves to plot rebellion and trap my Wei family in an unrighteous way?"

"Hahaha, Wei Zhongdao, don't pretend to be a good person here, I don't like this," Yang Fengyang laughed, and said coldly: "A small county magistrate costs 50 yuan, you can compare Those bandits who blocked the road and robbed are much darker."

Wei Ning said in a deep voice: "Officials' appointment and promotion fees are set by the court, so what have we got to do with it?"
