Chapter 142: The Final White Wave Valley (two-in-one chapter)
In the biological world, sometimes strength really means everything.
The Han army followed Hu Cai into the valley. Although there are many doubts about the whole incident, all the armies of the princes had entered the valley at this stage of the incident. The front city of Baibo Valley was leaderless, and Hu Cai led his troops to sit in and exert pressure. There was no more
People dare to stand up and raise doubts.
The soldiers in the valley lowered their heads one after another and were silent. This was regarded as a tacit acceptance by everyone in the valley of Hu Cai's recruitment of the Baibo Army on behalf of the official army.
Seeing that the effect was achieved, Tao Shang immediately asked fifty more soldiers to continue shouting.
"After accepting the recruitment of Lieutenant Hu, the troops in Baibo Valley will first receive food according to their heads."
After the ordering soldiers shouted out this sentence, they saw that many Baibo Valley soldiers showed expressions of surprise and joy.
Only by beating them with a stick, giving them a sweet date, and applying kindness and power at the same time can these bandits be completely suppressed.
It's okay to threaten, but benefits should also be provided. This is the principle of a potter's business.
"Roar!"
But on the square, the soldiers of the Baibo Army led by Hu Cai were the first to cheer. The soldiers and civilians of the Baibo Valley who were still in fear just now, were infected by the soldiers from Hu Cai's headquarters, and soon they also cheered.
Sing.
Han Hao frowned, rode his horse to the pottery merchant's side, and whispered: "Master, there are so many people in Baibo Valley, how can they have so much food to support them?"
The pottery merchant raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Why not? The grain cattle and horses that were stolen from the noble families in Hanoi last time...were all hidden in the valley next to Huai County. Isn't there a lot more? Separate some of the supplies first.
They will leave the rest to Han to manage and support the people of Hanoi. Is my proposal not too much?"
Han Hao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the pottery merchant in surprise. He saw the pottery merchant smile slightly and said: "I promised Han Zeng at the beginning that those materials would be returned to the government, distributed to the people, or used to support the soldiers of the imperial court.
…Aren’t these Baibo troops now regarded as brave soldiers of the imperial court?”
Han Hao's expression turned strange when he heard this, and after a while he asked, "Master Tao, when you first robbed the noble family's property, did you already reach this stage?"
The pottery merchant spread his hands and said with a smile: "I am not a great dancer. Han Zhizong must have looked down upon Tao... I would not dare to take this on."
Han Hao sighed and shook his head helplessly: "Young Master Tao has misunderstood what I meant. I'm not looking down upon you... I just think that your methods... are so cunning and deceitful that I'm really jealous of him."
The potter suddenly stopped laughing.
He seems to be being sentimental again, as Han Hao is more reserved in his speech.
What does it mean to be cunning and deceitful? The word he really wanted to say was dirty.
…
…
At this moment, the fighting in the rear city had reached an extremely fierce level. Han Xian and Li Le's troops attacked from two directions at the same time, and Guo Dasheng attacked Yang Feng's troops together.
Yang Feng faced a pincer attack from three parties and was defeated thousands of miles away. His trusted soldiers and horses were killed, wounded and fled. The outcome of failure was already doomed.
He himself was also surrounded by the soldiers and horses of Guo Da, Li Le, and Han Xian, and could not escape.
Outside Guo Da's military stronghold, there were dead bodies everywhere at the moment. The sergeants of the Baibo Army who died due to internal strife were lying there in various shapes, looking very desolate. It was as if God was borrowing them and laughing at these selfish Qu Commanders.
.
"Yang Feng! Traitor! The deaths and injuries of the brothers in Baibo Valley are all your fault!"
At the last moment of the battle, the three Qu commanders surrounded Yang Feng and the remaining soldiers under his command. Li Le's temper was the most violent. At this moment, he finally couldn't help but curse Yang Feng.
Yang Feng was covered in blood. He understood that he had completely failed today and was doomed.
He simply took the risk and lost his usual gloomy and cunning look, laughing crazily.
Raising his hand and pointing at Guo Da from a distance, Yang Feng frowned and shouted: "I have never thought about betraying Bai Bo Gu, nor have I ever thought about betraying my brothers! But with him in power, how far can our Bai Bo Army go?
?Guo Da never has a long-term vision in dealing with affairs. On weekdays, he only sends troops to attack cities and seize territory, burn, kill and loot! But he does not occupy the city, does not surrender to the princes, and is not connected to the court... In the long run, what is the way out for the Baibo Army? How far can we go?
Far! I don’t want to go down a hopeless dead road with him. What’s wrong with me?”
"Shut up!" Li Le shouted angrily at Yang Feng: "The traitor and traitor have committed serious sins. How dare you talk here?"
"Am I a talker?" Yang Feng sneered and suddenly shouted at Guo who was not far away: "Guo, do you dare to confront me?"
Guo Da's face was gloomy, and his wolf eyes kept glaring fiercely at Yang Feng, who was shouting curses. Hearing this, he picked up his sword and went out of the battle. He said slowly: "I'm here, what do you have to say, Thief Yang?"
Yang Feng pointed at Guo Da and said angrily: "Let me ask you, as the leader of an army, you only rely on looting to support your troops. There are more than 100,000 people in the valley who do not engage in production or farming, and all their food and drink sources depend on looting."
Words, how long can this army last? Have you ever thought about it?"
Guo Da shouted back at Yang Feng at the top of his lungs: "In the Baibo Valley, the land is narrow and the land is not solid. How can we farm?"
"Then why don't you occupy the city? Let's develop it!"
Guo Dali replied confidently: "In the past few years, we have conquered Taiyuan and Hanoi, but we have occupied the state capital and there is no danger to defend it. If the Han army sends a large number of soldiers to kill them, what will we use as a barrier?"
Yang Fengyang laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "It's simply ridiculous. So, last year we defeated Niu Fu and had a chance to break through Luoyang. Are you afraid that there is no danger to defend, so you withdrew your troops at the last moment?"
Guo Da shouted angrily at Yang Feng: "Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. He is a mediocre person who climbs skirts. What can he do if he is defeated? Lu Bu, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji are all famous generals in the capital! Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry
, the Northern Army in Luoyang are all the best in the world, it is just a dream for us to capture Luoyang! I have explained this to you a long time ago, how can you still question me about this?"
Yang Feng gritted his teeth and said: "What you said are just reasons for your cowardice and incompetence! How can I, Yang Feng, serve a cowardly and incompetent person like you for a long time? Sooner or later, I will be finished following you... If I don't rebel against you now,
I will have to do the opposite in the future!"
While the two were shouting, they suddenly heard a loud horn sound not far away.
"woo woo woo woo"
From the direction of the front city of Zibo City, mainly the Tiger Guards from Xuzhou, Taishan soldiers from Hanoi, and Bao Xin's Pingyang soldiers came straight towards the direction of Yang Feng, Guo Da and others to kill the generals.
The troops and horses temporarily formed by Guo Da, Han Xian, Li Le and others went through a fierce battle with Yang Feng's rebel army. Both sides were already at the end of their efforts. Facing the elite Han troops from the three princes who suddenly rushed over, they again
How can one resist it?
In a very different battle, the Han Dynasty army, which had been premeditated, faced a group of exhausted troops who had already gone through a fight.
At this time, the so-called "morale" has no effect at all. The three princes have sent out elite divisions. To deal with this weak and dilapidated White Wave Army, it is completely easy to capture them.
Especially the Taishan soldiers led by Han Hao are truly impressive for their bravery and fierce combat power.
Xu Rong had been following the pottery merchant, and was responsible for mobilizing troops and horses with him. Seeing the bloodthirsty and proficient fighting skills of the Taishan Army in Hanoi, he could not help but show surprise.
After observing for a long time, Xu Rongfang whispered to the pottery merchant: "The Taishan soldiers under Wang Kuang's command are indeed well-deserved. The former princes united and Dong Xiangguo planned to defeat Wang Kuang in Xiaopingjin. It was really a fluke to win. They won by combat power alone."
In theory, this army is inferior to the Northern Army of Luoyang... It is a pity that such a good infantry belongs to Wang Kuang. It is really a pity."
Upon hearing this, Tao Shang turned to look at Xu Rong and asked, "The Taishan Army was also trained by Wang Kuang. How can it be a pity to follow him?"
Xu Rong shook his head and said: "This infantry is excellent in terms of physical strength and fighting spirit. No matter who trains it, it will not become weak. But if it is put in my hands, it will not take more than a year to become the world leader."
A rare and powerful soldier..."
Tao Shang rolled his eyes and said, "I never expected that the former General Zhonglang of the Xiliang Army could boast so much."
Xu Rong chuckled and said: "Master Tao, you are young and don't know what I am capable of... This is not Xu's boast. To be honest, after living for such a long time, in terms of military training ability, except for one person in the world today,
I really have never convinced anyone."
"It's not easy. At least there is one person who can convince you."
Tao Shang looked at Xu Rong who was full of confidence and said with a smile: "Who is that person? General Xu, the invincible general in the world who can let us train our troops, thinks he is willing to be defeated."
Xu Rong shook his head and said: "You don't know me even if you tell me... This person's current official position is not high. He is just a lieutenant under Dutinghou's account. His surname is Gao Mingshun. This person just trained a number to be a trap some time ago.
The 800 foot soldiers in the camp are truly the strongest soldiers in the world, I can’t help but admire them."
Tao Shang thought to himself... You really look down on people, how do you know I don't know him?
"Zhen camp is such a noble name. If you have the opportunity in the future, you should learn from it." The pottery merchant did not criticize Xu Rong, but just responded with a smile.
At this moment, the allied forces of the three princes had cut off the Baibo army and bandits, causing their command to fail and unable to look after each other.
The soldiers and horses of the Baibo Army were cut into waves by the officers and soldiers, without direct command from the generals. They had gone through a big battle, and their physical strength and morale were seriously lacking. Facing the Taishan Army and the Xuzhou Tiger Guard,
The army, which was mainly composed of Pingyang soldiers, had no chance of winning. Most of the ordinary soldiers had lost their will to fight and were filled with despair.
At this moment, almost no one was willing to dedicate his life to the Qushuai who were killing each other. They all threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands, hoping to get a glimmer of life for themselves.
Guo Da, Yang Feng and other Qu commanders were intercepted in a position alone by Taishan soldiers. Three thousand Taishan troops were in front and the Xuzhou Tiger Guards were behind. They attacked from both sides and blocked all the evacuation routes of the four Qu commanders in Baibo Valley.
Death makes it impossible for them to escape.
Guo Dal reined in his horse and kept spinning on the spot. He glanced back and forth at the surrounding Han soldiers with a surprised look on his face. He hissed in horror: "Where is Lao Wu! Where is Lao Wu? He is not responsible for guarding the valley.
Are there roads everywhere? How could the army be allowed to enter Zibo City!?"
It's a pity that Hu Cai will no longer appear here to respond to him.
Even if he could, according to Hu Cai's current state of mind, he would not be able to face Guo Da, his former brother and master.
The Han army won consecutive battles, and more and more Baibo troops surrendered and abandoned their weapons. Guo Da, Yang Feng, Li Le, and Han Xian had fewer and fewer soldiers around them. The four people's hearts were filled with deep emotions at this moment.
of despair.
"Lao Wu! Hu Cai! What's going on? Why did the army rush into the valley! Why?!" Guo Da still refused to give up and was still howling hoarsely in terror.
"Forget it, you're stupid!" Compared to Guo Da, Yang Feng's mind was obviously much sharper. He smiled weakly, shook his head, and said bitterly: "Baibo Valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it doesn't require many troops.
It can stop tens of thousands of elites. Lao Wu is familiar with the terrain in the valley. If he is careful, how can he let the officers and soldiers take advantage of the opportunity and enter?"
Until this time, Yang Feng finally understood why Tao Shang was so respectful and arrogant towards him. He was secretly surrendering to Hu Cai!
No wonder he no longer took his surrender seriously, and even dared to betray himself openly. This boy... this boy!
Yang Fengyang shouted with grief and anger, and said: "Tao Shang, Yang will never let go of you even if he dies. He will turn into a vicious ghost and eat your flesh, and sleep on your skin alive... you bitch!"
Not far away, Xu Rong's lips under the bronze mask couldn't help but pick at the taste: "This poisonous curse is so cruel that if you are a ghost, I will eat you alive. If you don't die, he will be treated as a ghost under Jiuquan."
It doesn’t stop.”
Tao Shang touched his smooth, beardless chin, looked at Yang Feng who was not far away seriously, and sighed: "Actually, I feel a little sorry for him now... Did you hear the bitch he called just now?
It's heartbreaking and full of emotions, it's really touching..."
Xu Rong squinted his eyes, looked at the battle group not far away for a while, nodded and said: "Several thieves have been completely blocked, unable to fly. Today will definitely be a fatal situation. If you don't go over and fight with them for the last time,
Farewell?"
The pottery merchant was not interested in this matter at first, but after thinking about it, he realized that although the time was short, he had been his rival for a while.
It would be a sign of respect for them to send them on their way in person.
Xu Rong followed the pottery merchant to the edge of the circular formation besieging Guo Da and others. The Xuzhou Tiger Guards, under the command of Xu Chu, opened a passage for the pottery merchant.
In the battle circle, the bandits and the officers and soldiers were still fighting, and they were fighting vigorously, but at a glance, it was clear that it was completely useless.
Now, under the princes' command, if any one of them sends a captain to take command, he can easily take them down.
Even in this situation, Yang Feng and Guo Da still fought on their own and refused to cooperate, which showed that the deep hatred between each other was already deep in their bones. However, the former brothers fell into such an ending.
It's so sad. It really echoes the famous saying, love is deep and hate is deep.
At this moment, Han Xian and Li Le had lost their fighting power. They were watching sadly as more and more officers and soldiers gathered around them, with a look of despair on their faces.
Killing cries, roars, and the clash of iron weapons intertwined into a final farewell song on the battlefield that exuded the strong smell of blood.
The music performer, Tao Shang, finally appeared in front of them.
"Tao!" Seeing the pottery merchant, Yang Feng let out a lung-splitting cry, as if he had regained his lost strength: "Tao! We agreed in advance! Your actions are definitely not to treat your allies.
The way! I, Yang Feng, will treat you with merit and without fault!"
Tao Shang sighed, looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, shook his head and said: "Yang Shuai, you can't blame me for this. If you want to blame, just blame you for being too greedy. You made demands of me that exceeded my bottom line.
I can't fulfill your request, so I'm sorry, but you have to die."
"Traitor!" Yang Feng howled sadly.
"Puppy!" Suddenly heard not far away, Guo Dayi's face was covered with blood, and he glared fiercely at Tao Shang and said: "There are more than ten thousand people in Baibo Valley. They were all refugees from various places in the past. They are both good and bad... You want to conquer them all?
, without me as his commander-in-chief, it would be simply a delusion."
The potter smiled slightly and gave a thumbs up.
"In such a critical moment, Commander Guo Daqu did not forget to find a reason for his own survival. He is worthy of being the commander-in-chief of an army. Sure enough, he still has a few tricks up his sleeve... But it's a pity that Tao Shang wants to conquer Baibo's army. I'm afraid it's true.
I don’t need you anymore.”
After saying that, Tao Shang cleared his throat and said loudly: "Your personal troop deployment talisman has now fallen into the hands of Hu Cai. As the only remaining Baibo military commander after this war, Hu Cai will
He will do his best to help me recruit more than 100,000 Baibo soldiers and civilians, and he will also become the first person in Xuzhou to hold an important position as a Yellow Turban general... Of course, I believe he will not be the last."
After hearing this, Guo Da and Yang Feng couldn't accept it at all.
The more than 100,000 Baibo troops were the fundamental reason for their internal strife. Unexpectedly, in the end, the two of them risked their lives to grab something, but the traitor Hu Cai who led the Han army into the valley helped Tao Shang to be imprisoned.
Firmly in hand.
Not only that, they both had to die here... This kind of humiliation and anger almost broke their hearts.
"I'll kill you little puppy!" Guo Dazhao glared and rushed in the direction of the pottery merchant desperately.
Xu Chu snorted coldly, picked up the knife in his hand, and was about to make a move when he saw a figure suddenly rush out.
The general wielded a gold-backed broadsword and wore a bronze mask on his face. One of the holes in the mask was the one who was blind. It was Xu Rong.
Xu Rong met Guo Da, who was rushing towards him, and with a sudden slash, he raised his sword and brought down the powerful commander of the Baibo Army in Sanhe, killing him off his horse.
Guo Da's head fell to the ground, and blood poured out like a fountain, forming a curtain of blood in front of Xu Rong.
Xu Rong waved his hand and used his knife to pull Guo Da's body under the horse. Looking at the remaining three commanders and soldiers of Bai Bo, he pointed with his knife and said coldly: "Kill the remaining bandits in the field, one
Do not stay."
Xu Chu glanced at the pottery merchant, but saw the pottery merchant nodded slightly.
The dialogue between Yang Feng, Guo Da and him in the field was more or less a secret. In order to successfully recruit the Baibo Army in the future, the bandits in front of him must not have any spare hands.
After Tao Shang nodded, he saw the soldiers of the Xuzhou Tiger Guard, led by Xu Chu, following Xu Rong, rushing towards the remaining Baibo Army bandits, including Yang Feng, Han Xian, and Li Le.
The leader of thieves.
The pottery merchant looked at the blood mist rising in front of his eyes and shook his head in despair.
He doesn't like death. On the contrary, he prefers vitality, but that's how survival is. Sometimes in order to get more vitality, he has to continue to kill more.
The potter was not interested in the massacre, so he turned his horse and walked back.
After taking just a few steps, the potter's mind suddenly flashed and he remembered something important!
His face turned pale, he hurriedly reined in the horse's head, and called to Pei Qian beside him: "Quick! Go and tell Xu Rong and Xu Chu not to kill Yang Feng first, but to capture him alive... he must capture him alive! I want to know my five hundred
The whereabouts of Linzhijin..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw in the middle of the battlefield not far away, Xu Chu lifted Yang Feng's head in the air with a silly smile, and waved it to the potter from a distance!
That huge fox head looked particularly dazzling at this moment.
Pei Qian clicked his tongue and sighed: "It's just such a slow step... General Xu was still quick, and he beheaded Yang Feng in one fell swoop. It was simply the power of heaven and man... Hey? Hey hey hey! Young Master,
What's wrong with you! Don't scare us! Why are you vomiting blood again?!"
Why say again?
The pottery merchant waved his hands weakly, with tears in his eyes, and said weakly: "It doesn't matter, a suffocating breath was suddenly held in the chest... it will be fine if it comes out. This is not the first time. Don't worry, let me calm down."
