Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 46 I Fight the Elite

Going around, it has already entered May in a blink of an eye. There is a vast Hebei plain with green grass, but the fields are barren, which is a pity to look at.

The territory of Julu was flat and open, and the area around Xiaquyang was even more open. Except for the river and the water, there was no shelter.

Guo Dian led troops to guard Linping County, which is only [-] miles away from Xiaquyang. Deploying troops here can prevent the bandits from going south to invade various places.

When the troops arrived in Linping in the evening, Guo Dian saw that Tian Feng really persuaded Liu He to come to support him, so he personally greeted him out of the city.

Liu He saw that this man was in his forties, he was calm and calm, and he was appointed only after the party was lifted. This time he was appointed in danger. Although he was not well-known in history, he had a certain courage to come to Julu, the lair of the Yellow Turban Army, to be the prefect. and courage.

Guo Dian saw that Liu He was so young, but defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou, beheaded Qu Shuai, and saved Youzhou from war. It is really a blessing for the people of Youzhou that the young master eradicated the banditry in one fell swoop!"

Liu He said with a smile: "Youzhou's bandit army is only a handsome man, nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, the Fujun went deep into the bandit's den, guarding the giant deer, not afraid of strong defenses, and alone holding off Zhang Bao's army, which is admirable."

"The world is full of thieves, I was ordered to attack the thieves, and I will die." Guo Dian smiled lightly, and clasped his fists at Tian Feng again, "This time, thanks to the master's plan, I personally invited Mr. Liu to come here, otherwise I may not be able to survive alone. giant deer."

Along the way, Liu He chatted with Tian Feng, only to find out that he was conscripted by the Taiwei Mansion in the early years, recommended as a talented person, and selected as a servant censor. Because he resented the eunuchs in power, many virtuous officials were killed, and he abandoned his official position and returned home in anger. The second Yellow Turban Rebellion endangered the elders in his hometown, so he came to help Guo Dian.

Tian Feng was knowledgeable and well-known in Jizhou. Guo Dian naturally knew his name, so he valued him very much. It was Tian Feng's suggestion to recruit troops in Linping.

Liu He sighed: "It's a pity that the eunuchs were good at court and the heroes were killed. Otherwise, how could it have caused the people to alienate and give Zhang Jiao and the others an opportunity?"

Guo Dian said: "I heard that the young master appeases the refugees in Zhuo County, trains soldiers and horses, recruits heroes, and prevents dangers before they happen. Only then can the bandit army be defeated. If the court has many people with such insight, why is it so?"

Liu He shook his head helplessly, and said: "I am a clan member of the Han Dynasty. I have witnessed the collapse of the imperial court, the evil party bullying the emperor, and I am not angry. It is only right to eliminate the thieves and calm the people. One day, I will eradicate the eunuchs and restore the Han Dynasty!"

"Brilliant!" Guo Dian praised the words, turned his head and said to Tian Feng: "I have always known that Mr. is a great talent, and I have the ambition to save the royal family, but unfortunately I have not met the Ming Lord! I am unable to do what I want, so I dare not ask Mr. for help. Now the young master has With such great ambition, why don't you help him?"

Tian Feng looked calm, clasped his fists and said: "The royal family is so difficult, I will serve the country, but now the bandit army is everywhere, there is no peace in the house, and the family is not in order. How can I serve the country? Let's get rid of the bandit first and then talk about it!"

Liu He guessed that Tian Feng probably saw that he was young and only a county magistrate. Just one victory and Liu Yu's name was not enough for him to be optimistic, so he hurriedly said: "We are both contributing to the country, and I will wait for myself." Take breaking the thieves first."

At present, there are enough generals in the army, but there is a lack of counselors. If you want to get Tian Feng, you have to perform well next.

Knowing Tian Feng's upright character, Guo Dian didn't force him to recommend him. He nodded and said, "We are setting up defense here to prevent the bandits from going south. We can work together to eliminate Zhang Bao when Lu Zhonglang defeats Zhang Jiao. But according to Tan Ma Lai's report, Xia Quyang has gathered more than [-] people, and there are thieves inside and outside the city, and they seem to want to go south to rescue Zhang Jiao, so I ask you to come and help."

Liu He said with a smile: "There are so many thieves, if they don't leave the city, we won't be able to attack them by force. As long as they dare to stay outside the city, they will come and go."

Guo Dian frowned and said: "With a hundred thousand people, how easy is it?"

Tian Feng said at the side: "Although the thieves are rampant, they are cruel by nature. They can't help but plunder the officials and harm the people. They are hated by neighbors far and near. They are destined to be defeated. Although there are many people, if there is a general in command, it will be easy to break. "

Liu He nodded and said: "There are rebellions all over the place, and there are many kind-hearted people among them. They are just hungry and cold, so they take the risk. It's not a last resort. They are just bewitched by Zhang Jiao and others. As long as the thieves are eradicated, the rest are nothing to fear."

Tian Feng asked: "The thieves have repeatedly defeated the officers and soldiers, they come here with arrogance and arrogance, many leaders of the canals think they are invincible, you dare to fight one of them?"

Liu He laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? Tomorrow, I'll destroy the soldiers outside the city first, destroy their vigor first, and lead the bandits into chaos, and then make a plan to take the city and kill Zhang Bao."

Guo Dian also wanted to test Liu He's strength, so he thought for a while and said, "Thirty miles to the west of the city is Shulu Township, and there are nearly ten thousand people here. If you can take this place, you can enter the thief's den."

"How dare the thieves call themselves the elite?" Liu He smiled coldly: "I fight the elite."

Guo Dian said: "The leader of the thieves here is Zhang Bao's Deputy General Gao Sheng, who has a lot of courage. You must be careful, my lord."

Liu He heard that he was an unknown person, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will guarantee victory tomorrow."

After a pause, he said again: "It's just that my light army came here, and I don't have food and supplies. In terms of military equipment, food and grass, I need to ask the Lord to take care of me."

Guo Dian said with a smile: "Young Master, come to help me, so there is no need to worry about this matter. The place where the thief is occupying Shulu is very large, with open fields. You only have [-] troops. Do you need more troops?"

Liu He replied: "Soldiers are more expensive than large ones. As long as you think of a strategy to defeat the enemy and kill the bandit leader, all the bandits will collapse immediately. I still have a lot of troops."

Seeing Liu He talking and laughing freely, Guo Dian seemed to be underestimating the enemy and said: "Young Master defeated the many with a small number in Youzhou and defeated the bandit army. If he can do this feat again, it will be great. But we still can't underestimate the enemy, so as not to cause trouble." "

Knowing Guo Dian's good intentions, Liu He nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, you know yourself and your enemy, and you will never end up in a hundred battles. Mr. Tian is originally from this place, so you have to plan carefully with him, and you will never act recklessly."

Guo Dian couldn't insist, so he asked Tian Feng to help Liu He take the deer first, to see how the two sides won or lost, and then discuss the follow-up military. Whatever the army needs, just call it.

Liu He asked Tian Feng and Cheng Pu to discuss the military situation together. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei trained their troops and were ready to attack at any time. In addition, they sent Han Dang to lead 100 people to investigate the enemy's situation and observe the geographical situation around Shulu.

It is gold that always shines. During this time, Cheng Pu has discovered Han Dang's strength. Seeing that he is superb at riding, has great physical strength, is good at riding and shooting, and is very accurate with arrows, he was promoted to be a hundred generals and recommended to Liu He. This person.

Liu He deeply admired Cheng Pu's kindness. He really has extraordinary courage to become the leader of Jiangdong's tiger ministers. Just because he boldly recommends subordinates without deliberately suppressing them is not something ordinary people can have.

Zhengchou is not good at reusing Han Dang, this time it is just a matter of time, and sending Han Dang to lead the army alone is to give him a chance to perform, and it is also an affirmation of Cheng Pu's recommendation of talents.
