Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

An hour later, the smell of food wafted from dozens of pots, blowing along the wind in the valley to the Wei Army camp.

In order to keep warm in the sunshine every day, Zhang He purposely faces south with his back to the high mountains and the Xiazhai village, leaving the shadowy area behind for Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong.

Going down to the stronghold on the sunny side to absorb the warmth of the sun is tantamount to reprinting the layout of Dingjun Mountain, forcing the Han army to attack from the dark side, taking advantage of the geographical and climatic advantages. But he was slapped by Zhao Yun.

The wind blowing from the south of the valley will penetrate the camp where the Wei army is stationed, and then be blocked by the high mountains to the north of the camp. Part of the wind will form a backflow and finally dissipate in the Wei army camp.

It doesn’t matter if it’s just the cold wind, the camp of the Han army is still unavoidably cold, and most of the time there is no sun, but the fatal thing is that Zhao Yun used the smell to fight, using kelp and dried fish in the pot with radish and other things, the aroma of the food is beautiful It lingers in the valley for a long time, and occasionally the north wind will pass through and take it to Weiying.

Wei Jun can only eat half full for two meals a day, but it's not yet noon, and Han Jun is going to eat again?Drilled into Wei Jun's nostrils, there are vegetable and meat flavors...

It was only a few breaths, and the stomach that had eaten breakfast was suddenly rumbling. Huang Zhong divided the people fighting into two teams. One team was guarding and shouting, and the other team went directly outside the village to drink soup.

That scene was like a dieter watching food and TV broadcasts, not only did not satisfy his hunger, but became even hungrier. Seeing this, Zhang Yun stomped his feet in anger, and couldn't help but go back to the camp to drink water and shout shamelessly.

"General, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun are too arrogant, we might as well go out and smash the other party's pots and pans." Chun Yuye, the general under the tent, remonstrated.

Zhang Yun originally stood with his back turned, turned around and asked, "Are Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun on the opposite side? Do you know how many pots and pans will be smashed, what price will we have to pay?"

"Isn't it okay to rush out? Go back to the camp when there is a mess." Chun Yuye asked.

"You can go to the watchtower to have a look. Zhao Yun is not just waiting for nothing. He has already formed a pocket formation beside him, just waiting for us to throw ourselves into the trap." Zhang He frowned.

"Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are indeed extremely brave, but they can't do whatever they want, right? The general has always been known for his wisdom and courage. He must find a way to deal with it, otherwise the fighting spirit of the soldiers will be lost..." Chun Yuye shook his head.

"Sorry, Bravery can really do whatever you want." Zhang He shook his head and sneered, then rolled his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Let someone set up a pot to boil water. We are not as rich as the other party. Let's drink some hot water to warm our bodies, right?"

"Wei." Chun Yuye cupped his fists and turned around to deliver the order, looking at the soldiers in the camp basking in the sun, he thought to himself that he could be regarded as a dead horse to be a living horse doctor.

While drinking hot soup, the Han army fought and yelled outside the Wei camp. The day's confrontation soon ended. The soldiers under Huang Zhong's command were extremely comfortable, but it was tormenting for Zhang Xi's side.

Huang Zhong withdrew his troops and went back to the camp. All the battalions under Zhang Yun were clamoring for dinner. The generals of the Wei Army smelled the aroma all day, and finally it was time for the meal. However, the Wei Army rations were single and not enough.

The Han army did not all eat and drink openly, only a small number of soldiers who fought against Huang Zhong did not stop talking, otherwise the food brought by Chang'an would not last long.

At night, Huang Zhong found Zhao Yun excitedly: "Zilong, your method is really good. It has made Wei Jun so greedy. It is estimated that after a few days, the morale of the enemy army will be wiped out. It is useless for Zhang He to be shameless. In the end, he will die." Hide in the turtle shell (big tent)."

"There are many soldiers in An Ding but little food. It is estimated that the Wei soldiers will not be able to eat enough, so we might as well add fire to them. It depends on how long Zhang He can defend, and there is a possibility of mutiny." Zhao Yun said seriously.

"Haha, Zilong, you are really cunning. I want a drink today, hiccup..." Huang Zhong drank a lot of soup during the day, and his mouth was full of seaweed by the end of the conversation.

Zhao Yun joked with a smile: "Can the old general still drink it? Tomorrow, a new batch of soldiers will drink soup."

"Ah yes yes yes, enjoyment has to be exchanged." Huang Zhong smiled like a child.

The next day, the Han army boiled the soup, and the Wei army boiled the water. Their satisfied eyes looked at their longing eyes, like a full man looking at a hungry man. Although the Han army did not launch a strong attack, Zhao Yun's strategy of "showing off his wealth" did more damage.

Zhang Yun struggled until Huang Zhong withdrew his troops. He patrolled the camp at night and found that many soldiers complained about not having enough to eat. If they continued to fight, they starved to death if they did not fight. The emotional ones said that they were trapped in Yongliang. The family members in the Central Plains had no idea what happened. Death is life, it is better to surrender to the Han army and have a full meal.

Although Wei State's wrongful service system was cruel, but Yongliang Cao Jun had lost contact with the Central Plains. It is hard to say whether the family members of the soldiers will be implicated, and it is also hard to say whether the wives of the soldiers will become strangers, so the idea of ​​defection is inevitable.

Zhang He was shocked when he heard the words. On the one hand, he ordered the food officer to increase the rations, and on the other hand, he sent people to Linjing overnight to deliver the letter. In addition to reporting Zhao Yun's "shameless" strategy, he also had to apply to Cao Zhen for more military rations, otherwise the frontline soldiers would risk mutiny. , As for whether Cao Zhen can be dispatched, it is not Zhang Yun's business.

As Zhang He increased the ratio of military rations, the impetuous situation of the soldiers was temporarily stabilized, but the speed of food consumption also doubled. Cao Zhen did not hear back from the confrontation for seven or eight days, and the food in the camp could only last for about three days. Zhang He immediately chose to withdraw , Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun actually won their first victory by drinking soup.

Some camp defenses were not attacked by force, but they fought in the wild according to their own abilities. The first time Zhang Xi withdrew his troops, he was discovered by his "enemy" Huang Zhong's trilogy.

Zhao Yun saw that the opportunity was rare and he didn't stop him, so he just frowned and said: "The old general wants to chase me, but we are not familiar with stable terrain, you must be careful, no matter whether you catch up or not, you must stop and fight with me before dark." confluence."

"Just Yizilong." Huang Zhong looked up at the misty sky, thinking that it was not long after dawn, even if Zhang Xi wanted to escape, he would let him lose a piece of meat. The soldiers had eaten for a few days, and it was time to fight the enemy bravely up.

Since Huang Zhong discovered it early, he was only two or three miles away from the fleeing Wei army, and soon caught up with the rear army carrying luggage.

At dusk in the afternoon, Huang Zhong rushed to Yinpan County, only to realize that he was at the top without knowing it. There were only [-] cavalry left beside him, and those infantry were left far behind.

Huang Zhong held his ground, hesitating whether to retreat or not. Suddenly, a scout sent a battle report. A group of men and horses came from the direction of Yinpan. There were about 5000 people. It seemed that they wanted to eat Huang Zhong's exhausted army.

Chapter 9

Just when Huang Zhong was thinking, another scout came to report again, saying that the enemy's leader would be general Yang Qiu.

"Yang Qiu?" Huang Zhongxin said, isn't that the guy who was chased away by Wei Yan?What cats and dogs dare to mess with me now?

Huang Zhong originally wanted to retreat according to Zhao Yun's arrangement, but Yang Qiu's appearance directly touched his Ni Lin, and Huang Zhong immediately shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Although Zhang Xi ran away, now Yang Qiu is here to die. I want to ask you if you are tired?" ?”

"No." The two thousand cavalry shouted in unison.

"Very good, then have a good time with me." Huang Zhong's words were full of heroism, completely forgetting Zhao Yun's words.

Zhang He had already retreated to Yinpan County at this time, and the battle report he sent to urge Cao Zhen was in a dilemma. If the food was allocated to the front line, the soldiers in the rear would starve. If the road is cut off, An Ding will completely lose Beidi County's supplies.

Zhao Yun was backed by Guanzhong and there was no shortage of food. Cao Zhen had no choice but to send Yang Qiu to help in the battle. He thought that the opponent was a local who was familiar with the terrain, so he might be able to resolve the crisis. In addition, Yang Qiu The title is Marquis of Linjing. If Anding is captured by the Han army, the fiefdom he actually claimed will cease to exist. Cao Zhen is sure that Yang Qiu will do his best to block Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's attack for his own benefit.

Yang Qiu and Zhang He met in Yinpan, and when they learned that Zhang He withdrew without a fight, he couldn't help scolding: "General Zhang, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong are also human, so why are you doing this?"

"Zhao Yun set up the pot in front of the formation. He is not making soup, but boiling our army's morale. The soldiers watched anxiously. If the Marquis of Linjing confronts the enemy, how will he deal with it? What does this have to do with Zhao Yun and Huang Zhongwuyong? " Zhang He made an excuse for his rich experience, and Yang Qiu just teased him, but he directly responded back.

"You should give it a try, otherwise how will you explain to General Cao?" Yang Qiu's title is higher than Zhang Yun's, and even if he is bullied, he still holds it.

Zhang Yun was dumbfounded, and then he cupped his fists and laughed, "Hehe, Huang Zhong has been chasing me for a whole day, and I should be exhausted now, and the cavalry who bite the hardest is only 2000. I think the soldiers of Marquis Linjing are full of energy. Why don't you take advantage of the other party's exhaustion?" And hit him? Maybe he can kill old Huang Zhong and avenge General Xiahou."

"Oh? If that's the case, why doesn't Junyi lead his troops to attack me?" Yang Qiu was really excited.

Zhang He said in his heart, how dare you?Then he said indifferently: "The soldiers are all exhausted. If you lead your troops to fight back, you will be afraid to leave Huang Zhong. The Marquis of Linjing has [-] cavalry, which should be enough to deal with Huang Zhong. Although the old guy is good at martial arts, he is not good at acting. If you are reckless, you can use words to stimulate them and stabilize them, and wait for Huang Zhong to make a plan to encircle them."

"Well, it makes sense." Yang Qiu stroked his beard in affirmation.

"The Marquis of Linjing is suppressed by troops, so don't fight with him. Huang Zhong is definitely not someone who is waiting for you." Zhang He didn't want to lose, so even if he was reprimanded by Yang Qiu, he didn't forget to remind him.

Yang Qiu nodded, "I can save it, Junyi will go to Yinpan to rest first, and join you when I capture Huang Zhong."

"Okay." Zhang He cupped his fists and parted ways with Yang Qiu.

Yang Qiu was not reckless. He took the risk to fight Huang Zhong. First, he wanted to keep his stability. If he could kill or capture Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun would definitely withdraw his troops in the battle alone, so that his fief Linjing would still be there; It makes sense. It is indeed my advantage to play more and fight less, and wait for work with ease. No one can resist such a temptation.

Yang Qiu listened to Zhang Yun's suggestion and deliberately made the formations of each battalion look messy, and put the old and weak in front of the team to weaken Huang Zhong's vigilance.

The two men and the two armies had their own thoughts, and they encountered each other on the river beach ten miles southeast of Yinpan County. Yang Qiu leaped in front of the horse formation, pointed at Huang Zhong and cursed: "Old man Huang Zhong, how dare you invade the territory of our Great Wei Dynasty? You know that the time of death will be near." do."

"Fuck, where did the Great Wei come from? This is the territory of the Great Han. General Ma came out of Liangzhou with you, and now he is ranked as the General of the Hussars of the Great Han. If you surrender, you will also be rewarded with a title. I will lead your majesty's heavenly soldiers here. If you dare Don't blame the old man for being ruthless." Huang Zhong's eyes widened angrily.

"Old thief with a white beard, you give up your age to give Liu Bei your life, so it can be seen that his so-called big man is unstoppable, and Yan Yan may be your role model." Yang Qiu snorted coldly.

"If you don't eat the toast, then come out and suffer your death. I think you have a serious tone, do you dare to fight to the death with me?" Huang Zhong raised his knife and shouted.

Yang Qiu stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Haha, this general has thousands of elite soldiers, why is he stupid enough to fight you, are you confused?"

Huang Zhong raised his head and glanced around, and found that the soldiers around Yang Qiu were crooked, thinking that this thin soldier could also be considered an elite soldier?Isn't that sending someone's head away from thousands of miles away?

"I don't dare to fight, the old man will take your head in the chaotic army, sons, charge to me." Huang Zhong waved his big hand, and the cavalry screamed and rushed over like a storm.

"Good time." Yang Qiu retreated decisively, and then ordered each battalion to change formation.

Huang Zhong took the lead and was invincible, and gradually led his personal guards to cut into the depths of the enemy army. When he was killing well, he found that the Wei army had changed and became more and more powerful, cutting Huang Zhong's cavalry into several small pieces.

After the cavalry was besieged by the infantry, the horses lost the distance needed to advance. Looking at the Wei army in front, back, left, and right, the nervousness of the Han army appeared continuously, and the horses stopped suddenly after running for a long time. If they tried to speed up, they became quite slow. The cavalry loyal to 2000 people will be divided and eaten by Yang Qiu.

Yang Qiu commanded from a high place outside, thinking to himself, what's so great about Huang Zhong killing Xia Houyuan?In the end, it was not the reckless man who died in my hands.

When Huang Zhong was in trouble, there was a thunderous sound from the river valley in the southeast, and he quickly crossed the bend and appeared in the field of vision, with a big Zhao character written on the flag.

At the critical moment, Zhao Yun came to rescue Huang Zhong again. Although he was in command of the main force in the rear, he also kept an eye on Huang Zhong's front. When he learned that Huang Zhong was leading the cavalry alone, he foresaw that Huang Zhong might be in danger.

Although Huang Zhong's front was besieged, the trapped beasts were still fighting strong, and Yang Qiu's five-thousand-step cavalry could only be encircled. If he had to deal with Zhao Yun who came to support him, he would be at risk of being wiped out.

"Shoot random arrows into the formation." Yang Qiu ordered the army commander beside him.

The army Sima was startled when he heard this, and quickly advised: "General, we have more soldiers than Huang Zhong, and random arrows can easily hurt our own people."

Yang Qiu said angrily: "Execute the order. They were honored to be buried with Huang Zhong, and they died well. This general will try to comfort their family."

"Wei." Jun Sima immediately cupped his fists and gave the order.

In the blink of an eye, arrows rained down on the melee battlefield.

Because the random arrows were shot from the front, Huang Zhong, who was surrounded by Gaixin, paid attention first. He quickly reminded others to use cloaks and weapons to resist the arrows, while Wei soldiers faced the arrows with their backs, resulting in more casualties.

"Don't let the thief shoot arrows, Zhao Zilong from Changshan is here." When Zhao Yun was about to approach, he raised his gun and shouted forward.

The five words of Zhao Zilong in Changshan echoed non-stop in the valley, which made Wei Jun's hairs stand on end, and at the same time gave hope to the besieged Han army.

"It's Zilong who is here, that shameless thief Yang Qiu, who dares to plot against the old man, I will kill him later, I must kill his dog's head." Huang Zhongxi expressed his expression.

Chapter 9 and Three

Zhao Yun came first before he arrived, his majestic whistling sound was like a dragon's chant, his unique frequency sound waves shattered the noisy fighting in the river valley like a sharp blade.

The soldiers of the Wei army were like animals reacting to stress, and their attacking state immediately became unnatural. In addition, Yang Qiu asked the archers to shoot randomly, and the Wei soldiers slowed down the offensive by coincidence.

Yang Qiu watched the battle from a high place anxiously, and saw that Huang Zhong's entourage was getting smaller and smaller, but the encircled soldiers were shouted back by Zhao Yun's roar, and the army moved around suddenly, blocking the sight of the archers behind.

The opportunity to kill Huang Zhong is right in front of him, once he loses it, there will be no more, even if he knows that he is dancing on the tip of the knife, Yang Qiu is on the sidelines, wanting to take this risk, rushing into the rebellious army with his horse, beheading a few people with his own hands The retreating pawn yelled sharply: "Those who retreat further will end up with the same fate, let me do it."

The general took the place of the supervising army and went to 'enforce the law' himself. The soldiers of the Wei army could only bite the bullet and move forward, but just before they ran a few steps, they heard Yang Qiu's magical voice: "Where is the archer? Keep shooting arrows for me. "

Wei Bing, who ran to the forefront, instantly became a moving target. Yang Qiu's coquettish manipulation directly caused the soldiers to tangle collectively. If they retreated, they would be dealt with by military law. arrow.

Dilemma and survival, Wei Bing finally screamed frantically after a lot of pain and struggle, but collectively chose to slow down in pace.

Where is Yang Qiu willing to endure?After beheading several soldiers in succession to 'enforce the law', Wei Bing passively 'evolved' into a milling donkey, moving quickly every time the main general 'enforced the law', and then slowed down after a round of arrow rain.

Repeated several times, Zhao Yun's front reinforcements arrived, which brought great pressure to the Wei soldiers on the southern front, and soon there was a rout situation. At this time, Yang Qiu's killing was useless.

"General, it's better to withdraw first, or it will be too late." The deputy general pressed Yang Qiu's hand and made a suggestion.

Yang Qiu was red-eyed just now, but at this moment he suddenly came to his senses. He sat on his horse and looked to the south. He saw that the formation was in disarray, and the soldiers of the Wei army were collapsing towards the position of the central army. He shouted out the word Wei Bing wanted to hear most: "Withdraw."

Before leaving, Yang Qiu regretfully glanced in the southeast direction.

Only a few feet away, Huang Zhong's guards were left with less than a hundred riders, but Yang Qiu couldn't get the credit.

"Quick retreat." The moment Yang Qiu turned his head, deserters were already crowded around him.

The Han army in the rear took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, causing the Wei soldiers to scurry around like headless chickens. Because the retreat was very hasty, the organizational system of each battalion was instantly disrupted, and the deserters without restraint completely blocked the way of the cavalry. In addition, there were many infantry and few cavalry. , making the cavalry stand out in the crowd.

The shouts of the Han army were getting closer and closer, but the Wei cavalrymen sitting on the horses passively slowed down. Seeing this, Yang Qiu could only sacrifice the butcher's knife again and order the guards to cut out the way.

At this time, General Pi pointed to the front and reminded Huang Zhong: "The one in the purple robe is Yang Qiu. The old general pierces Yang with a hundred steps. Why don't you shoot him?"

The distance between the two sides was more than a hundred steps, but Huang Zhong was quite confident in his physical strength and bow skills. He thought that he might not be able to catch up with Yang Qiu, and shooting him directly would be a way. The carved bow is in his hand.

With a whoosh, three feathered arrows flew out at the same time. Yang Qiu, who was a hundred steps away, hit all three arrows. One of the arrows shot into the back of his neck.

"The general is old and strong, and the arrow is invincible." Zhang Zhu hurriedly clasped his fists and expressed his joy.

Huang Zhong seemed dissatisfied, he shook his head and said: "The distance is still a bit far, otherwise, how can only one arrow hit the vital point with three arrows?"

"Uh... your knife." Zhang Zhu was speechless, and quickly handed over the big knife, thinking that it is really annoying to compare people to others, isn't this a proper way to show off your skills?

Huang Zhong held the knife in his hand, pointed to the front and ordered: "The enemy chieftain is dead, you continue to hunt and kill, the old man goes to thank Zilong."

"Wei." She clasped her fists together.

An hour later, the banks of the Jing River returned to calm. Yang Qiu and half of the soldiers fell in the river valley.

There was only a glimmer of light in the sky, and the soldiers of the Han army took advantage of the dark to sweep the battlefield. If Huang Zhong hadn't sent the cavalry after him, they should have camped and rested a few miles behind, but the current situation is that the follow-up main force and supply ships have not yet arrived. Zhao Yun had no choice but to choose the camping site in advance, and he had to work out the camping in the dark at night.

Huang Zhong came to Zhao Yun's side in shame, apologized and thanked again: "This old man was reckless today, if Zilong hadn't come to help in time, my white head has been taken by Yang Qiu, and you will be the main general in the next battle. "

"The old general's shooting and killing Yang Qiu can be regarded as a remedy for the dead. It doesn't matter if the general is in charge or not. There will be no mistakes after everyone discusses it." Zhao Yun smiled openly.

"Yang Qiu is just a small fish, he has to kill Zhang Yun and Cao Zhen to count as meritorious service." Huang Zhong said seriously.

Zhao Yun nodded, "Cao Zhen and Zhang Yun are not idlers, so there is no rush."

"Well, that guy Zhang He retreated to Yinpan in front of him. I don't know what clever plan Zilong has to break the city?" Huang Zhong asked.

"I marched past the mouth of the Nihe (Malian River) in the morning. I have left hundreds of people to set up guard posts. It is equivalent to cutting off the supplies of Cao Zhen Beidi County. Anding County has many soldiers but little food. Zhang Yun may not be trapped in the isolated city. Let's start with the army rations. You can defeat the enemy." Zhao Yun stroked his beard for analysis.

Huang Zhong smiled wryly: "After so many years of fighting with His Majesty, this old man feels the most relaxed in the battle of stability, and he can defeat the enemy by cooking soup."

"This is also due to the fact that we have enough food, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use this strategy. Mr. Ziyu is a real hero." Zhao Yun looked into the distance and sighed.

Huang Zhong nodded in agreement: "Zilong's words reminded me of the time when I captured Jiangling with my husband. It was very relaxing and comfortable. My husband guarded Yangzhou and watched Huainan. I think he is busier than when he was in Jiaozhou. I don't know if we can see each other again in this life... "

"Now the situation in the world is very different. It is no longer a situation where Cao Wei's family dominates. After we have completely pacified Yongliang, it is only a matter of time before Wei is destroyed. The old general is physically strong. I think it is no problem to live another 20 years. At that time The world has long been settled, so why not meet your husband?" Zhao Yun comforted.

"It makes sense, I try to live as long as I can..." Huang Zhong is now in his seventies, and he thinks that another 20 years is too much, and if he can live another five years, it is God's mercy.

The army arrived at the assembly point not long after nightfall, and the Han army then lit up the torches and set up camp to rest. The soldiers who had been in a hurry for a day were very tired, so they did not rush to set off the next day.

When the sun rose, there was very little smoke in the camp.

As soon as the guards gave the hot porridge to Zhao Yun, they saw Huang Zhong walking in with him, his face seemed a little unsightly.
