"Why didn't General Huang take a rest late at night? Could it be that the small town of Beiping has troubled you?"
Huang Zhong was startled, drew his sword, and said warily: "Who is it?" This is the main tent of the Xiliang Army, and there are layers of soldiers guarding the outside. He does not believe that someone can break in safely without disturbing anyone.
Soldier.
A person walked in outside the camp, dressed in ordinary people's clothes, but there was a faint murderous look on his body.
"General Zhang? Why are you here?" Huang Zhong put his sword into its sheath and hurried forward to greet him.
Zhang Xiu said calmly: "I recently heard that the Xiliang army was blocked in Beiping, and Zhang came to help."
Huang Zhong had a look of embarrassment on his face. It was his first time leading an army to fight and faced such a thing, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant to let it go.
"General Huang's love for the people is a blessing to our army, but doesn't the general say that he is kind and does not command troops? If Xian Yuyin was like the general of Beiping City who drove the people to the city alone, wouldn't our army be in trouble?
Instead of attacking the city, you are wasting money and food and stationed outside the city?" Zhang Xiu said with a hint of scolding in his tone, "General Huang must know how much food the army consumes in a day. He just dared to be rebellious and drove the people to the city wall to defend the city.
It cannot stop the pace of our army's attack. Although the general loves the people like his son, General Huang must not forget the military orders!"
Huang Zhongdao: "I have neglected my duty, but seeing those people, I really can't bear to give the order."
"General Huang, you have to know that if you don't attack the city in front of you, more people will suffer. The death of these people has brought happiness to all the people in the county. Why don't you sacrifice a few to benefit everyone?
?These are the most basic things for a military commander, and I believe General Huang understands them." Zhang Xiu said in a gentle tone.
Huang Zhong cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, General Zhang, for reminding me. I know what to do."
Huang Zhong was nearly fifty years old and had rich battlefield experience. He was just influenced by the thinking of the Xiliang Army and could not adapt to the battlefield for a while.
Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "General Huang can understand this, which is a blessing to our army. Zhang has never had any contact with General Huang. Tonight, I will help you capture Beiping. It is a well-deserved acquaintance."
General Huang, who is superb in archery."
A look of surprise flashed in Huang Zhong's eyes. From Zhang Xiu's light words, he could tell that as long as the people in front of him were willing, the army could capture Beiping City overnight. Zhang Xiu's status in the Xiliang army was very small.
Some people know that Huang Zhong also accidentally learned from Guo Jia that Zhang Xiu was in charge of a secret team, and its combat effectiveness was undoubtedly the leader of the Xiliang army.
"Thank you so much, General Zhang!" Huang Zhong was happy to accept the benefits brought to his door, and he just took the opportunity to meet Zhang Xiu, who was quite famous in the Xiliang army.
Huang Zhong led a thousand cavalry to prepare for the attack as soon as there was a change in Beiping. Zhang Xiu made an appointment with him to raise a fire as a signal. When Huang Zhong led the army to swarm in, Beiping would be settled.
In the dark night, Huang Zhong's eyesight was far beyond ordinary people's. He could vaguely see more than a hundred people in black clothes, skillfully climbing up the city wall. In the silent night, he tried his best to hear, and could only hear the gentle rustling.
voice.
"Who are these people?" Huang Zhong asked softly.
Guo Jia yawned loudly and said: "Lone Wolf, General Huang is so lucky. He met Lone Wolf. Beiping is a sure bet."
Huang Zhong was shocked. The lone wolf soldiers had always been a mysterious existence in the Xiliang Army. After being in the army for so long, he had vaguely heard the name of lone wolf, but had never seen it with his own eyes. In this way, Zhang Xiu
He is the commander-in-chief of Lone Wolf. Judging from Guo Jia's expression, he already knew about this matter. It seems that he still has not entered the core of Xiliang Army.
In the dark night, torches were lit above the city wall, swaying constantly, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night. Huang Zhong's spirit was shaken, and with a wave of his hand, a thousand cavalry behind him rolled towards Beiping.
The city gate creaked open, and Huang Zhong took the lead, charging into the city and heading straight towards the army in the city.
The Youzhou army who was sleeping was turned upside down by the Xiliang army, and Shan Cong was also killed in the rebellion.
At dawn, the big word "You" on the city wall was replaced with "Liang". After the people who didn't know what was going on asked about it, they learned that it was the Xiliang army that had entered the city.
After getting Beiping, Huang Zhong immediately went out to pacify the people. After a short rest, he led the army to attack the county city. As long as the county city was captured, the entire Dai County would be in the pocket of the Xiliang army.
When the news of the Xiliang army's attack on Daijun reached Yan Rou's army, none of the generals dared to answer, and the scene was strangely quiet.
Yan Rou coughed lightly and said, "The Xiliang army ignored the Han Dynasty and sent troops to attack Youzhou without permission. What do you think?"
Xian Yu, an officer in Youzhou, said: "General, the Xiliang army only has more than 10,000 troops, while the garrison of Daijun has more than 8,000 people. As long as they defend the city, it will be difficult for the Xiliang army to achieve anything."
"The guard of Daijun is General Xian Yuyin. He is a strong man. I am afraid that he cannot bear the insults of the Xiliang army and goes out to fight. If this is the case, Daijun will be in danger." Biejia Qizhou said.
Although Liu He, the shepherd of Youzhou, has not yet arrived, most of the officials in Youzhou have already decided that Yan Rou will command the three armies, Qi Zhou will be the commander, and Xian Yu will be the assistant. The remaining officials will each have their own rewards. After Liu He arrives,
He can take office immediately, but how much power is left in his hands is unknown. For the sake of power, brothers can still draw swords against each other.
"General Xian Yuyin is strictly ordered not to go out to fight in the city. It is a great achievement to defend Daijun. When the Xiliang army runs out of food and grass, they will naturally retreat." Yan Rou ordered. After successive battles, the Xiliang army will definitely not fight for a long time.
"Not only that, Yuan's army has an old relationship with our army, why not borrow troops from him to help General Xian Yuyin defend Dai County together." Qi Zhou said.
"Humph, how could Yuan Shao send troops so easily? The Xiliang army is brave and good at fighting. Gongsun Zan's Baima Yi cannot match it." Yan Rou said with some dissatisfaction. "It is said that Yuan Shao has reached an alliance with the Xiliang army. How could he attack Xiliang because of Youzhou?"
The army goes to war."
Since taking over Youzhou, the power in Yan Rou's hands has soared. Now Youzhou Mu Ming is Liu He, but the actual power is in the hands of Yan Rou.
Long, but the current strength is limited. The total number of soldiers and horses in Youzhou is only 50,000. Otherwise, how could Yuan Shao be allowed to occupy Zhuojun.
Pengcheng remained strong despite the violent attack by Cao Jun. There were strong generals such as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu in the city, which greatly stimulated the morale of the soldiers. Moreover, the 500 infantrymen led by Mi Zhu were invincible and Cao Jun could not stop it.
In desperation, Cao's army could only station outside Pengcheng, and the army kept attacking the city, consuming the strength of the troops in the city.
Yuan Shao moved, and Cao Cao attacked Qingzhou, which completely ruined his plan in Youzhou. After returning to Jizhou to reorganize for a while, he ordered his troops to attack Qingzhou.
The reputation of Yuan Shao as the Fourth and Third Duke was still very useful, and he was unstoppable in conquering cities one after another. When Cao Cao came with his army, the officials surrendered without hesitation. Now that Yuan Shao has arrived, the situation seems to be exactly the same. In just one month, they captured a county.
Qingzhou was in danger, and Cao Cao's advisers urged him to return to Qingzhou to aid him. If Qingzhou was lost, the strength of Cao Cao's army would be greatly reduced.
The princes of the Central Plains were attacking each other, and the influence of the royal family in the Han Dynasty became smaller and smaller. On the surface, the Han Emperor was still in charge, but in fact the princes secretly did not listen to orders and developed their strength. It seemed that the emperor of Zhou was incompetent, and the princes
A group situation.
More than 12,000 Xiliang troops were stationed outside the county city. The strong camp did not give Xian Yuyin any opportunity to take advantage of.
For three consecutive days, Xiliang army soldiers continued to insult outside the city. After receiving Yan Rou's military order, Xian Yuyin did not dare to take it lightly, so he could only stay in the city and let the Xiliang army abuse him.
The Xiliang army used various tactics, including sending surrender letters into the city, pretending to attack the city in the middle of the night, etc., which made the Youzhou army in the city very anxious. Youzhou is a big border state, and the generals and officers in the army are all hot-blooded men. How can they withstand the insults of the soldiers?
, one after another asked for a fight.
On the fourth day, all the siege equipment of the Xiliang army was ready. Huang Zhong, carrying a sword and leading 500 cavalry, stood proudly outside the county city and said loudly: "When General Baima was here, the Youzhou army was so majestic. It is unimaginable that it is now.
He has become a shrunken person."
The white-haired Huang Zhong made the generals in the city lower their heads in shame.
"I am just a lowly member of the Xiliang army. I would like to ask for advice from the powerful generals of Youzhou!"
Looking at Huang Zhong's figure, Guo Jia smiled and said: "General Huang's words are a disservice. I'm afraid the Youzhou Army in the city cannot withstand such stimulation."
After Xian Yuyin heard the news reported by the soldiers, he jumped up and said: "The Xiliang army has bullied me too much. I ordered all the soldiers and horses to go out of the city to fight, so that the Xiliang army can see the style of Youzhou athletes!"
The generals in the tent all made a promise. After enduring such cowardice for many days, they could no longer bear it. When Jian Xianyu Yinfa said it, they naturally responded in a loud voice, regardless of the consequences.
In front of the five hundred cavalry was a veteran with gray hair, and Xian Yuyin was so angry that his throat was clogged.
"Go back quickly, my general will not kill the unknown people!" Xian Yuyin shouted, "Let the Xiliang army be able to fight them!"
Huang Zhong drew his sword and stood up, smiling and saying: "Youzhou, which is ridiculously huge, finally has a general who dares to fight."
"Who dares to step forward and kill this man?" Xian Yuyin shouted in a low voice. Seeing that Old Huang Zhong didn't know what to do, he didn't care about his face anymore.
"The last general is willing to go!" As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Yan immediately jumped into battle. He and Shan Cong were brothers, so one can imagine his hatred for the Xiliang army.
Like Huang Zhong, Shan Yan also uses a long knife.
Huang Zhong snorted coldly and charged at Shan Yan. Huang Zhong's sword skills were superb and he was also unparalleled in the Xiliang army.
The two swords intersected, and Shan Yan's arm holding the sword was sore and numb. He looked at Huang Zhong with a hint of awe in his eyes, raised the sword slightly, and once again clapped his horse to kill Huang Zhong.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had been fighting for more than a dozen times. Huang Zhong's face remained the same, but Shan Yan's face turned red.
"The Youzhou army is nothing more than this. Even I can't defeat it." Huang Zhong said calmly after the battle.
Huang Zhong's words made Shan Yan furious, and he slashed towards Huang Zhong with his long knife. There was a faint sound of breaking wind, "Suffer death!" Shan Yan shouted.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the horses under the two men neighed under the force of the force.
"Ding", there was a brief moment of silence, and then there was a sudden discordant sound.
