Boling, in the mountains.
In a spacious hall, an oil lamp was burning on the left and right sides respectively. In the middle of the hall, there was a big black faced man with a beard on his chin. He was over 40 years old.
Step on.
Outside the door came a sound of feet, suddenly stopped, followed by a voice: "adoptive father, flying swallow see."
"Come in, my son."
The man who came in was tall and slender. It was Chu Feiyan who had been defeated by Liu Ye and captured his horse on that day. The man sitting in the middle was his adoptive father, and Zhang Niujiao, the leader of the Boling bandit army.
Zhang Niujiao called Chu Feiyan to his side, and a friendly smile appeared on his face: "Feiyan, what's the matter?"
Chu Feiyan slightly arched his hand and raised his head and said, "does adoptive father remember the last defeat of the child?" Naturally, what he said was that he captured the county and was defeated by Liu Ye.
Zhang Niujiao frowned after hearing this: "what else do you want to do about it? As my father said, I can't blame you for this. Who let me meet Liu Ye
As huangfusong moved to the north and the south, Liu Ye's reputation even spread to the ears of today's emperor Liu Hong. Now he can be regarded as a valiant general, especially when the bandits around the world heard Liu Ye's name like thunder.
Chu Feiyan back pressure, hands clasped: "father handsome, children please elite five thousand, strategy gall pottery."
Zhang Niujiao a Leng: "strategy gall pottery do what?"
"Old Huangfu was appointed Jizhou animal husbandry, went south to Yecheng, left Liu Ye's light troops to guard Ju Lu. Our army besieged Ying Ying Tao, Liu Ye certainly would not sit back and ignore it, and then it would be a chance to win!"
When Zhang Niujiao heard Chu Feiyan's high spirited words, he sighed and patted Chu Feiyan on the shoulder.
"My son, let's have a good life in Boling. What are we going to do to provoke Liu Ye? In case huangfusong leads his army to the north and joins his army, and Zhang Jiao's three brothers support the army for 200000 and lose, can we, tens of thousands of people, stand up to the trouble?"
Chu Feiyan heart a horizontal, raised his head, a pair of bright eyes and Zhang Niujiao look up.
"Father commander, sun Qing and Wang should be in danger. If Liu Ye hadn't defeated him last time, I would have said that they were attached. Liu Ye was just the Sima of huangfusong army, but there were no more than a thousand soldiers. Tens of thousands of people in our army were so afraid. If huangfusong had been a herdsman in Jizhou, Liu Ye would have been sitting on the giant deer, and our army would not be able to move?"
Although he was old, he had great ambition. Otherwise, he would not invite Chu Feiyan to join the army and attack tens of thousands of counties.
When the imperial court was promoted to governor of Jizhou, hundreds of thousands of yellow turban thieves were wiped out by the old man. Was he not a thorn in the eye of huangfusong?
"Adoptive father! If we do not preempt, we will be controlled by others. "
After hearing Chu Feiyan's words, Zhang Niujiao sighed, squeezed tightly with five fingers, and agreed to Chu Feiyan.
"OK, but this time, you and my father and son have joined forces and poured out the nest. No matter how powerful Liu Yuqing is, can he defeat more than ten thousand people of our army with only a thousand soldiers and horses?"
Zhang Niujiao agreed to Chu Feiyan's suggestion, and the next day he led the army of 23, 000 thieves and killed Yingtao with great fanfare.
In Hebei, there were many horses, so when the counties along the way saw the black mountain army coming with big flags and drums, they immediately sent a messenger flying horse to report to Julu.
Liu Ye has just come back from school. Although he has been in Julu these days, he is still busy. Zhang jaw is temporarily attached to him, and more than 200 Hejian soldiers naturally follow Liu Ye. Now, Liu Ye has more than 1200 army horses under Liu Ye's command, but there are only more than 500 war horses. However, Liu Ye took the money seized from Guangzong and Quyang to buy horses in Youhe Erzhou District. So far, he has not come back. It will take another 10 days and a half months.
"Liu Hou, empress Feng, please go and discuss important matters concerning military aircraft." A member of the prefect's office rushed to report to Liu Ye. Huangfusong went to Yecheng, and Feng Yi, the eunuch of Julu, who had been driven out of the city by Zhang Jiao, took office again. Liu Ye and he were both literate and martial arts.
"If so knows, it will pass."
Liu Ye did not have time to go back to his residence, so he rode to the prefect's office. Today, Julu city is full of waste. Even if Feng Yi puts his name on people's livelihood, there are not many residents in the city willing to go out to the street. Therefore, the city looks like a depression, and there are few tourists. Therefore, no matter how fast Liu Ye runs in the city, he doesn't have to worry about hitting people.
After a while, Liu Ye dismounts from the school yard and hands over the horse to his servants. He strides into the hall and sees Feng Yi holding a bamboo slip in his hand, looking worried.
Seeing Liu Ye enter, Feng Yi stands up in a hurry: "Liu Hou, Boling bandit enters the bandit!" Feng Yi then tells Liu Ye what happened and makes him frown.
"Where is Zhang Niujiao?"
"Yingtao, the bandits are attacking the city. Yingtao sent seven messengers, five of them died, and only two left to report."
Liu Ye's face does not change, but suddenly he understands: Zhang Niujiao is not running for Yingtao at all. Tens of thousands of people are used to fight down a small county?"When someone leads his troops to battle, the prefect only needs to guard the city, but he has his own arrangements for breaking the thieves."
Hearing that Liu Ye is so confident, Feng Yi tries to ask Ye Cheng for help
Huangfusong is a prefect governor of Jizhou. He has tens of thousands of elites under him. Although Zhang Niujiao is not as good as the 200000 army of Zhang Jiao's three brothers, there are more than 20000 people. Do you want to fight with these more than 1000 people?
"Huangfu's chariot is also needed to deal with such scattered soldiers and vagrants?" Liu Ye said, here suddenly a meal, "by the way, there is one thing to trouble Sister Feng to help."
Feng Yi was stunned: "I don't know what Liu Hou needs? I will try my best to be an assistant. "
Liu Ye smiles and says, "I'm going to take over 800 people."
Feng Yi was a little strange when he heard this: "it's natural for 800 people to say that grain and forage will certainly be ready for the general." Civilian soldiers are indispensable for a large army to March. It is impossible for soldiers to carry food on their own, which will greatly consume combat effectiveness. In ancient Athens, the heavy infantry and even the armor were usually carried by the slaves, and they were put on before the battle. Therefore, in the later Sicilian battle, after trying to escape, the heavily armed soldiers had to carry their own armor. As a result, they were defeated by the Spartans in the first battle.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ye shook his head: "it's not necessary. It's enough for the prefect to prepare three-day rations for two thousand people."
Feng Yi is more and more confused. Yingtao is really close to Julu. But the confidence Liu Ye brings can break 20000 thieves in three days? Besides Two thousand people, three days of food and grass is only more than 300 stones, and there is no need for 800 civilian men?
What's Liu Ye selling?
