When Liao Hua and Guan Hai were ordered to enter Jinan, everything went smoothly.
Many people in the former Yellow Turban Army were not living a stable life. Even if they were hiding in their hometown villages, they were always worried that officers and soldiers would come to arrest them.
Therefore, these people actively participated in Liao Hua's recruitment. After all, they could join the army in an upright manner. Although it violated the oath they made when joining Taiping Dao, it was still important to stay alive.
Liao Hua did not blindly gather the old Yellow Turban troops. Before leaving Beihai for Luoyang, Xi Zhicai had already dispersed a group of subordinates who had always followed Liao Hua in batches, not only in Jinan County, but also in the entire Qingzhou territory, and even
Manpower has been sent to Xuzhou and Yanzhou.
Therefore, soon after Liao Hua entered Jinan, he quickly gathered thousands of troops and secretly ambush near Jinan City, ready to launch an attack at any time.
On this day, Liao Hua had just received two former Yellow Turban Army commanders who had recently joined the camp, when he suddenly received a report from a visiting horse.
"Report, General, there is a post with unknown intentions. The troops are attacking from the southeast of our army. They are less than twenty miles away from where our army is stationed."
Liao Hua was shocked when he heard this and stood up with a roar.
The Guan Hai monster next to him opened his eyes wide, opened his bloody mouth and screamed.
"Who dares to come to Guan Laozi and stroke the tiger's beard?"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the tent, cursing non-stop.
Liao Hua stretched out his hand and pulled Guan Hai back: "Guan Hai, come back here."
Guan Hai turned to look at Liao Hua with a puzzled look on his face.
Liao Hua sighed: "You are still so unimproved. How many times has my lord told you to learn how to fight from Jun Yi, but why don't you get the idea?"
Guan Hai rubbed two big hands on his head and laughed: "Why are you and Jun Yi here in the fight? I just use the knife to chop them."
Liao Hua collapsed immediately.
Instructing Tan Ma to continue investigating, Liao Hua came to the map spread on the handsome case.
When he was in the Yellow Turban Army, Liao Hua didn't know how to read any military maps at all. When it came to fighting, he just had to scout out the terrain. After entering the battlefield, he could adapt to changes.
Since following Lin Feng, Liao Hua and other former Yellow Turban generals were forced to learn how to read military maps every day. At that time, they felt miserable.
But this is a hard task, and Guan Hai must learn it.
Because Lin Feng can draw detailed topographic maps of states and even counties in advance in the game, the opportunity for cheating is not wasted.
So Liao Hua traced the directions on the map according to Tan Ma's directions, and suddenly felt that something was not right.
There is a great possibility that this secretly attacking army was not directed at him.
After Liao Hua's analysis, if someone wants to sneak attack him, the current direction is
It was not the best direction. To reach Liao Hua's station from the southeast, one had to cross a small river ditch. Although the river water was not knee deep, it would inevitably slow down the marching speed greatly.
If this group of troops did not come for a sneak attack, then it was very likely that they were generals who were familiar with the terrain and had the same calculation as Liao Hua, preparing to use the small woods in this depression to station their troops.
There is actually a second army in Jinan trying to steal chickens?
Liao Hua smiled slightly, things were getting more and more interesting.
This team, which was also approaching Jinan City, was really guessed by Liao Hua.
Zang Ba, the chief general under Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, was from Taishan County, Yanzhou. Although he was an official in Xuzhou, his prestige in Taishan County was extremely high.
Tao Qian had already secretly sent Zang Ba and his men into Taishan County before the battle between the eighteen princes against Dong Zhuo started.
Zang Ba recruited troops in Mount Tai and organized nearly 3,000 troops.
Although these three thousand people had not undergone systematic training and their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of Xuzhou's elite, Zang Ba still ordered his subordinate Sun Kang to lead his team to Jinan.
Zang Ba had four tiger generals under his command, who were known as the Four Bandits of Mount Tai. They were Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Xi. These four were Zang Ba's die-hard subordinates when he was working as thieves and bandits in Mount Tai, although they could not be called such.
He is a famous general, but he is also quite courageous, and he has few opponents among Qingxu.
Sun Kang was the biological brother of Sun Guan, the leader of the Four Bandits in Mount Tai. Why didn’t Zang Ba send out the Four Bandits instead of sending Sun Kang to Jinan?
Because Jinan is now like a kiln girl who has taken off all her clothes. A man can capture her in the past, but the Taishan four bandits under his command have other uses.
As early as when Lin Feng left Beihai for Luoyang, Zang Ba had his eye on the position of Qingzhou governor.
At this time, there was no powerful person in Qingzhou who could be named. Tao Qian coveted Qingzhou, but Zang Ba stared at him with bright eyes.
The Zhen family and his son in Beihai County have a relationship with Mad Dog Lin. Zang Ba doesn't want to touch them for the time being, but he must capture the remaining counties in Qingzhou.
Moreover, in the battle to capture Qingzhou, soldiers and horses belonging to Xuzhou could not be used, even though the two strongest soldiers and horses in Xuzhou were actually Zang Ba's private soldiers.
Once Xuzhou soldiers and horses were used, even if it was only in name, after taking Qingzhou, Zang Ba still couldn't get rid of Tao Qian's control, and no one wanted to bear the name of the rebel.
But if Zang Ba did not use Xuzhou's soldiers and captured Qingzhou, he could respect his old superior Tao Qian on the surface, but in fact he could get rid of the label of Tao Qian's direct lineage, reopen his door and establish a new camp, and from then on he could be known as
In one sentence, Zang Ba of Qingzhou.
For this goal, Zang Ba sent Sun Kang to Jinan City, which he considered to be no threat, and he led the four major bandits to focus on Donglai County.
Donglai County is not only the largest county among the five counties in Qingzhou, but also the largest county in Qingzhou.
Where the governor's business lies.
As long as Zang Ba takes Donglai County, almost half of the entire Qingzhou will fall into his hands.
Not only did Zang Ba think Jinan was within easy reach, but Sun Kang, who led his troops there in person, also thought so.
This trip to Jinan may not involve fighting at all, just a formality, leading troops into the city, and then taking over Jinan City from the Jinan prefect.
Thinking that he might be conferred the title of Governor of Jinan by Zang Ba, Sun Kang felt urgent in urination, as if he was looking forward to dark on his wedding day.
Sun Kang also had soldiers from Jinan under his command. Under the leadership of these locals, they naturally went straight to Toad Hollow, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
According to Sun Kang's plan, he would first hide in Toadwa for a day or two, wait for Boss Zang to give a signal, and lead his army directly into Jinan City. Regardless of whether he could get the position of governor, he would first grab a lot of money.
Before marching to the small ditch in front of Toad Hollow, Sun Kang cursed at the soldiers leading the way.
If I hadn't told you in advance, I didn't know until I got closer that I had to cross a river. Although the river is not deep, it is winter now. There is a thin layer of ice in the small ditch. If you step on it, it will definitely break. So soak your feet in the winter.
Soaking in ice water, at least half of the people in the camp will be sick by the second day. How are we going to deal with this girl?
A sergeant behind him suggested that the whole army dig soil everywhere and temporarily build a ridge of earth in the small ditch. It does not need to be very wide and can accommodate two people side by side. The army can cross the small ditch before dark.
When Sun Kang heard that it was a solution, he nodded in agreement.
This group of people never thought that it would be easy for them to block the small ditches, but it would be difficult for the nearby civilians to dig them out. When there is abundant rain next summer, the small ditches will not flow smoothly, which will have a negative impact on the nearby areas.
What kind of damage is caused to farmland.
Sun Kang ordered all the soldiers in the army to put down their swords and find a way to dig earth and carry stones around to pave a passage as soon as possible.
So the three thousand sergeants dispersed on the spot in a chaotic manner. The soldiers ignored the generals and the generals did not know the soldiers. They piled up and looked around for soft places to collect soil.
Sun Kang also rolled his saddle and dismounted, found a flat bluestone and sat down.
After riding a horse for a day, my back is really sore, so it would be good to sit down and rest.
Just as Sun Kang closed his eyes and allowed his followers to squat beside him and beat his legs to rejuvenate his blood, suddenly gunfire roared from all directions and ambushes appeared everywhere. Their team was unexpectedly surrounded by people at some point.
There were many people fighting in all directions, and the two generals who were leading the army were lined up on the left and right.
These two generals look very interesting, one handsome, one ugly, one white and one black, they complement each other perfectly.
The handsome white man wears a silver helmet, a silver armor, a red tabard, a white jade wind-chasing horse on his crotch, and a silver spear with bright plum blossoms in his palm.
The ugly black guy wears a black helmet, black armor, and a mysterious black shirt. On his crotch is a black-gold curly horse, and in his arms is a closed door knife.
