Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

In the middle of the sky, the Yellow River was rushing across both banks, separating the Central Plains from Hebei. Dozens of canopy boats rowed over from the far south, and each boat contained more than ten soldiers. Liu Guanzhang and Liu Ye Guan Hai The generals were the first to disembark and walk ashore, and the soldiers disembarked afterward, without any confusion.

Zhang Fei took a deep breath: The battle lasted for several months, and I finally returned to Hebei.

Jizhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou belong to the three prefectures of Hebei in the traditional sense, but the Pingyuan State of Qingzhou is separated from other counties, so it also belongs to Hebei. Yuan Shao ordered his eldest son Yuan Tan to lead the governor of Qingzhou and defeated the governor appointed by Gongsun Zan. Tian Kai.

As the war continued, there were not many boats along the Yellow River, so these dozens of boats were able to ferry about one-third of the soldiers, and then the boatmen drove back to the south bank and brought the rest of the soldiers back in batches. , After going back and forth twice, more than 1,400 soldiers were finally transported over.

However, these soldiers are either Youyan men or Qingzhou strong soldiers. Although they are brave in battle, they are not able to swim. Many people turned pale when they were on the boat. . No wonder Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi. Standing on the boat, let alone fighting bravely, he could not stand firmly, so how can he talk about winning.

After letting the soldiers rest for a period of time, Liu Ye and Liu Bei headed for Gaotang County with the whole army.

At the time when Pingyuan State had the largest area under its jurisdiction, there were nineteen counties. However, after several reforms, there are only ten counties left in the area under its jurisdiction. Gaotang is the southernmost county in Pingyuan State, across the river from Linji. see.

Liu Bei's Youzhou soldiers and Liu Ye's Licheng army are elite soldiers who have gone through the war, so they travel very fast, traveling nearly a hundred miles a day, and the city wall of Gaotang County can already be seen from a distance.

Liu Ye cheered up, and basically all his 300 cavalry came along, and those who were willing to go back to Licheng kept their horses. Therefore, despite the mere 800 sharp soldiers in Liu Ye's army, the proportion of cavalry was close to half.

Liu Ye said to Liu Bei: Brother Xuande, the yellow turban bandits are lazy and unprepared. Why don't you take the cavalry first to occupy the city gate, and Brother Xuande leads the infantry to follow?

Liu Bei nodded: Alright, the soldiers under your command and mine are all elite, if we attack by force, we will inevitably lose.

Brother, you and your second brother lead the pawns, so I will have a good time with Yuqing.

Zhang Fei was not happy to be with the slow-moving pawns, so he immediately protested. Liu Bei smiled and said, Okay, third brother, you can go with Yuqing.

Zhang Fei chuckled, galloped to Liu Ye's side, and swung the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand: Yuqing, let's go and kill him!

Liu Ye laughed, roared, galloped his horse, Zhang Fei and Guan Hai were beside him, and three hundred cavalrymen roared behind him, galloped out of the team, and headed straight for Gaotang County.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Yu Jin led the infantry to advance faster, and Gaotang City was within easy reach.

Ever since the Yellow Scarves captured Gaotang City, they never closed their doors at night, because there were no officers and soldiers in the area, and now it was daytime, so it was even more impossible to close the city gates.

The two tired and lazy yellow scarf thieves yawned and looked at the city gate weakly.

I heard that Liu Yuqing came out of Licheng, who first conquered Jinan, and then defeated Qu Shuai in Linzi City. Is it true?

Who knows, but he and us are separated by the Yellow River, so it's impossible for him to come to Gaotang?

That's right, but this lady from a rich family is different. She has played with so many brothers, and her skin is still so tender, hehe.

Speaking of this, the two couldn't help laughing, the dark circles on their faces trembled, but one of them stopped smiling suddenly.

what is that?

The other yellow-turban thief looked in the direction of his finger, only to see hundreds of cavalry galloping towards him, he was shocked immediately,

No, close the city gate!

The two yellow-turban thieves hurriedly raised their heads and shouted at the city gate, but there was no movement at the city gate, so the two had no choice but to run in to have a look. brake.

Seeing that the city gate began to rise and fall, Liu Ye frowned at this moment. If the city gate came down, the three hundred riders would be worthless, so he stabbed the horse's butt with a knife, causing pain in the crotch of the horse. Hoofs galloped, Liu Ye actually rode away from the dust alone, leaving more than 300 riders behind.

At this moment, the city gate was slowly rising, Liu Ye firmly grasped the horse's mane with five fingers, and lifted it vigorously, the war horse neighed, the four hooves leaped up, and immediately landed firmly on the suspension bridge in mid-air , the long lance swept left and right, the two suspension ropes suddenly broke, and the suspension bridge fell to the ground with a bang.

kill!

Liu Ye let out an angry roar, and was the first to enter Gaotang City. Zhang Fei roared excitedly when he saw Liu Ye bravely broke through the suspension bridge. The black horse under his crotch carried him into Gaotang City second. It was like a line entering Gaotang City.

The yellow turban bandits in the city were unprepared, they were used to being lazy all day long, and suddenly hundreds of cavalry rushed in, and they were in a mess.

In fact, many yellow scarf thieves were very brave when they first started, but since they entered the city, they are full of food every day, silk and satin are everywhere, and some wealthy ladies who are rarely seen in ordinary times have become as good as they are. Where is the spirit of blood and courage?

Especially the fierce generals like Liu Ye, Zhang Fei, and Guan Hai who entered the city, each of them can kill a hundred people, and before the yellow scarf thieves on the street screamed, their heads flew out of their necks up.

The county seat is not big, Liu Ye rode a fast horse and rushed all the way in, a street rushed to the bottom, and the government office was right in front of him.

Liu Yuqing is here in Licheng, why didn't the yellow scarf come down sooner?

Hearing Liu Ye's roar, Zhang Fei immediately yelled angrily, Zhang Yide from Yan is here, don't let the yellow scarf thief run away and let me kill you!

The yellow turban bandits had no intention of fighting, they were flustered for a long time, and they had no intention of resisting with weapons at all, so they fled in all directions, heading towards the four city gates.

If the yellow turbans can muster up the courage to fight street battles with the officers and soldiers entering the city, then Liu Ye will probably retreat. After all, the strength of cavalry lies in their mobility and impact. In terms of flexibility, it is not as good as pawns.

It's a pity that the yellow turban bandits lost their fighting spirit long ago, so they ran away and flew towards the four city gates. Liu Ye immediately chased after them with his troops towards the four city gates, but the yellow turban bandits were so numerous that they blocked the streets When they got up, the cavalry couldn't rush out for a while. But the yellow scarf thieves are swarming and rubbing, bumping into each other.
