) captured Tianjia Fort, which was a big gain for Gao Fei. He ordered everyone to guard it, and he took the people back to the square. On the other side of the square, under the group of house slaves venting their anger, Tian
All the family members, men, women, old and young, were beaten to death, and the house was in a mess. However, the more than 2,000 slaves had their families broken up due to the persecution, and they were homeless. Gao Fei had people escort them to live in Xiangping.
The private soldiers in Tianjiapu also expressed their willingness to surrender, and Gao Fei asked Hua Xiong to recruit them. In this way, in the battle of Tianjiapu, only a few dozen of the two thousand troops suffered arrow and knife wounds.
No one died in the battle, which was a huge gain.
"My lord, it's Zhang He, Xun You and the others are here!" At the city gate, Hua Xiong and others who were responsible for cleaning the battlefield saw the smoke and dust billowing on the road outside the fort, and shouted to Gao Fei.
"You guys keep cleaning this place!" Gao Fei finished his sentence and rode out of Tianjiabao on his black horse.
Outside the fort, Zhang He and Xun You came over with 12,000 infantrymen. When they saw Gao Fei riding a black dragon horse leisurely and contentedly, they already understood.
After meeting twice, Zhang He stopped his troops, and together with Xun You, they greeted Gao Fei and said, "See you, my lord!"
Gao Fei got off his horse and said to Zhang He and Xun You: "You are late, Tianjiabao has been completely cleaned up."
Zhang He and Xun You both smiled and complimented: "My lord is so fast, my subordinates admire you."
Gao Fei said: "Don't talk nonsense, but now is not the time to be optimistic. Although Tianjiabao has been taken away, Tian Shao still has more than 10,000 people in the Xinchang area. We must go and cooperate with Chu Yan to bring this
Zhang He, there is a large amount of supplies in Tianjiabao. Give Xiahoulan two thousand troops and ask him to garrison here and defend well. The remaining people do not need to enter the city. They all come with me to Xinchang. Gongsun Zhao is ready.
Transport grain to Tian Shao, and we can also use this batch of grain to attack Tian Shao."
"promise!"
After finishing the instructions, Gao Fei left Liao Hua and Xia Houlan to garrison Tianjiabao. They were assigned 500 cavalry and 2,000 infantry to two people, and asked Gongsun Kang to stay as well. The domestic slaves and surrendered soldiers in the fort were temporarily staying in the fort.
. He himself took Zhang He, Xun You, Zhao Yun and others, as well as 1,500 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to escort the grain and grass to Xinchang.
Xinchang County in the Eastern Han Dynasty was located in what is now Haicheng City, Liaoning Province. It was a mountainous and hilly area with undulating mountains, verdant mountains, and Qianshan Mountains. For Chu Yan and others who were born bandits,
It is an excellent location. After receiving Gao Fei's order, Chu Yan and others went to the southwest of Xiangping and launched a series of activities in Xinchang, Anshi, Wenxian and Pingguo where the Tian family's power was relatively concentrated.
With his actions, he stormed the county town and plundered money and food, which dealt Tian Shao a heavy blow.
After more than ten days of fighting, Chu Yan and others had firmly pinned down Tian Shao's army in Qianshan. The narrow mountain roads in Qianshan were not conducive to the advance of the army, creating an excellent barrier for Chu Yan and others.
On the mountain road entering Qianshan from Xinchang, there are dead bodies along the way. Most of them were stoned to death or fell into traps. The mountain road is full of potholes. In a valley on the left side of the mountain road, Chu Yan, Yu Du,
Sun Qing and more than 3,000 brothers gathered together and were eating the looted food.
Sun Qing was injured in his left arm. He took a sip of wine, looked around at his brothers who looked a little tired, and said to Chu Yan beside him: "Brother, the master asked Bian Xi's people to send a message to us to hold on for a day or two, saying that the army will be here soon.
Arrive, but it’s already the third day, why hasn’t the lord’s army arrived yet? Could it be that the lord is deceiving us, letting us fight to the death with Tian Shao, while he enjoys the blessings in the back?”
When Chu Yan heard Sun Qing say such words, he said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! My lord is not that kind of person. From the time when Ying Tao followed my lord all the way to Liaodong, my lord is not kind to us, right? How could you say such a thing?"
?”
Sun Qing retorted: "It's not thin, but it also restricts us. Brothers are not used to having too many restrictions, but the master has made several military regulations, and the brothers can hardly stand it. Brother, we are here
We fought in four counties in half a month, and the money and food we looted was enough for our brothers to eat and drink for more than half a year. You see how happy the brothers were when they looted, why don't we take this money and food back to the old village in Heishan, Jizhou? The third brother has already
We died in the battle, and many brothers have also left us. If we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that all of our brothers will die."
When Chu Yan heard Sun Qing's words, he sighed and said, "Wang Dang's death is indeed a pity, but wasn't he trying to protect us? It's only our fault that we didn't see through that it was Tian Shao's trap.
Jumping inside, hundreds of brothers died in one fell swoop. However, I pretended not to have heard what you just said. I promised the lord that as long as the brothers are no longer hungry, I will not betray the lord."
Yu Du was also injured, and one of his eyes was blinded by an arrow. Fortunately, he survived, otherwise, he would have died long ago. Yu Du now has a bandage on his face, covering his blind right eye.
Lying on a rock, he said feebly: "I say Sun Laoer, when I took refuge with my lord, it was all because of your face. Even if we take our brothers back to Jizhou now, will Jizhou be able to accommodate us? Food.
As soon as we finish eating, why don’t we go and grab it? Besides, there are many more officers and soldiers to deal with than Tian Shao’s people, so I don’t want to go hungry anymore.”
Sun Qing said: "But it has been three days, and the lord's army has not even seen a single figure. I think he just wants us to die in the mountains. When we are all gone, Tian Shao's troops will be almost exhausted."
Only then will he take action."
Chu Yan glared at Sun Qing and shouted: "If you say anything bad about my lord again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
"What? When did you, Chu Yan, become so loyal? Don't forget, you weren't the one who killed the old master back then?" Sun Qing snorted coldly and revealed the past events.
Chu Yan said angrily: "He brought it upon himself. He took the stolen goods for himself and never distributed them to his brothers. Aren't you also part of this matter?"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. We are all brothers. Why are you arguing? Tian Shao's army is outside the mountain. If you don't want them to find our hiding place, please be quiet. The mountain road here is difficult.
Let's go. It will definitely be difficult for the lord to bring a large army, and it is appropriate to delay some time. Now take a good rest. When you have rested, let's fight again. If we don't wipe out Tian Shao's one or two thousand people this time, I'll give him a damn.
I even dug out this eyeball!" Yu Du sat up and shouted at Chu Yan and Sun Qing.
Chu Yan stopped talking, and Sun Qing stopped making noises. The two of them looked at the brothers who were resting around them. They were injured and disabled. They really hoped that Gao Fei's army would come quickly. They were wandering around in the mountains.
Fighting with Tian Shao's troops in hiding is very tiring, and Tian Shao's troops are also very large. There are still 11,000 people after the battle. It is a lot of pressure for them.
It is already May weather, and the mountains are full of pear blossoms. In the green bushes, the fragrance of the flowers is refreshing. There are many pear trees in the valley where Chu Yan and the others are hiding, and the brilliant pear blossoms can be seen everywhere. Chu Yan nicknamed this
The valley is named Lihua Valley.
Less than three miles away from Lihua Valley is a huge open space. Tian Shao and his army are stationed here. From the bottom of the mountain to here, every time he occupies an open space toward the mountain, he will set up a camp.
To prevent Chu Yan and others from escaping from the mountains.
Tian Shao was sitting in the tent. Although the afternoon sun was a bit poisonous, on the mountain, with the cool breeze and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, he could not feel the heat at all. Instead, he felt a bit of coolness. However, Tian Shao's mood was impatient.
After fighting with Chu Yan and others for more than ten days, they finally surrounded them all in this mountain, but they could not be wiped out immediately. The cavalry could not come up, and the infantry moved slowly. For three days in a row, they basically suffered from the mountain every day.
In the thief's raid, except for this morning when he set up a trap and killed hundreds of thief soldiers, his soldiers were basically killed at other times.
After taking a sip of wine, he became even more impatient. He pulled off his collar, exposed his plump white chest, and shouted outside the tent: "Where have all the people died?"
A personal guard came in outside the tent and immediately responded: "What are your orders, sir?"
"Send someone to urge me again. Why hasn't the food arrived yet? In two days, we will be out of food. How is this Gongsun Zhao going to do things? I won't take care of him when he comes!"
"promise!"
Tian Shao poured another glass of wine, but found that the wine in the jug was not even full. After he drank the half sip, he dropped the jug to the ground. The ground was made of hard rock, and the jug dropped to the ground.
Upon collision, it shattered into pieces with a crisp sound. He overturned the table in front of him and shouted outside: "Where's the wine? Get the wine quickly!"
Another guard came in from outside the tent, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said slowly: "Sir... sir, this... is the last bottle of wine!"
Tian Shao was angry and had no place to vent his anger. He pointed at the guard and said: "Go! Call Xiaocui over and ask her to come over quickly and serve me. You trash, I usually raise you in vain? And that Gongsun Zhao,
You do everything slowly! Why are you still standing here, why don't you hurry up and call Xiao Cui? "
After a while, Xiaocui did not come in, but instead came in a military commander wearing a helmet and armor, with blood on his body and a look of panic on his face. As soon as he entered the tent, he had no time to salute and shouted in panic: "
Sir, we are coming, we are coming, we are coming from the bottom of the mountain..."
"How is this possible? The bandits have been surrounded by me on the mountain. How could they suddenly run down the mountain?"
"No... it's not bandits, it's... it's the army... The prefect's army suddenly launched an attack on us. Seeing that the situation was not good, many people surrendered. Now the fifteen villages at the foot of the mountain have been taken away.
Ten, Lord Prefect..."
Tian Shao didn't wait for the army commander to finish his words, he picked up a wine glass, threw it at the army commander, and cursed: "Asshole, why don't you go and fight?"
In the Lihua Valley, Chu Yan, Sun Qing, and Yu Du finally recovered their strength after resting for almost an hour or two. Suddenly, bursts of killing sounds and rumbling drums came from down the mountain.
"What happened?" Chu Yan, Sun Qing, Yu Du and others were all shocked. They had never heard such a sound before.
Just when everyone was confused, the person in charge of sentry ran in, with an extremely excited expression on his face, and shouted loudly: "The boss is coming in... The master is calling in with his men...
…Most of Tian Shao’s army has surrendered…”
As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the Lihua Valley felt extremely excited. They fought fiercely on this mountain for three days, and finally the lord's army arrived. Everyone cheered almost at the same time, and when the mountain
After being thieves for so long, they felt extremely excited for the first time. This kind of excitement and happiness was far more intense than when they robbed money and food.
Chu Yan casually picked up the long knife beside him and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the lord has not broken his promise. The lord has come to meet us. It's time to drive those bastards Tian Shao back to their hometown. Brothers, come out of the valley with me and bring us back to our hometown."
That old guy Tian Shao has been chopped off!"
The crowd was excited, and the morale that had been low when Chu Yan shouted suddenly became high. They shouted loudly and swarmed out of the valley. The injured supported the disabled, and followed the team and rushed out of the valley.
.
At this time, the shouts of killing could be heard everywhere in Qianshan. The entire valley, the entire mountain road, and the entire mountain were shaken by this huge cry, which scared the birds and beasts in the mountains and fled in all directions. Then, an interesting scene appeared.
Birds flew out of the forest, and hundreds of beasts rushed out of the caves. Even ferocious tigers ran away when they saw the crowd hugging each other. Boars and tigers flew side by side, eagles and sparrows flew together, and snakes and mice hid in
They entered a nest, and the whole mountain became boiling for a while...
On the mountain road, Zhang He rushed to the front with a knife, slashing every person he saw, counting each person in his mouth. The blood had stained his armor, and his whole body became a bloody man.
Gao Fei, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Pang De followed Zhang He. They saw Zhang He fighting for the first time. They saw that Zhang He rushed faster than them, and they couldn't help but admire him secretly.
"Jun Yi, what are you shouting?" Gao Fei asked curiously when he heard Zhang He counting in his mouth.
"Count! Count how many people I have killed. Then I won't have to worry about calculating the credit in the future...Seventeen..."
Hearing Zhang He's answer, Gao Fei couldn't help but feel a little funny. It seemed that Zhang He was afraid that others would forget his contribution or undercount it. He smiled and looked at Tian Shao on the mountain road not far away with his sword.
Commanding, he was just about to jump over and deal with Tian Shao himself, when a huge body suddenly jumped up from the air, and it turned out to be Chu Yan.
Chu Yan twisted his flexible body and waved the long knife in front of Tian Shao slightly, and a human head fell down. From a fork in the mountain road, Sun Qing, Yu Du and others led everyone
They killed them from the mountain and blocked the remaining Tian Shao's soldiers in the mountain road.
"Sure! I've been robbed of my credit!" Zhang He shouted when he saw Tian Shao being beheaded by Chu Yan.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who were blocked in the mountain road dropped their weapons and knelt on both sides of the mountain road to surrender. Gao Fei turned around and glanced behind him. The long mountain road was winding and crowded with people everywhere.
He smiled knowingly and shouted: "Victory! We have won!"
